AB Generation of hydrogen by reduction of two protons by two electrons can be catalysed by molecular electrocatalysts. Determination of the thermodynamic driving force for elimination of H-2 from molecular complexes is important for the rational design of molecular electrocatalysts, and allows the design of metal complexes of abundant, inexpensive metals rather than precious metals ("Cheap Metals for Noble Tasks''). The rate of H-2 evolution can be dramatically accelerated by incorporating pendant amines into diphosphine ligands. These pendant amines in the second coordination sphere function as protons relays, accelerating intramolecular and intermolecular proton transfer reactions. The thermodynamics of hydride transfer from metal hydrides and the acidity of protonated pendant amines (pK(a) of N-H) contribute to the thermodynamics of elimination of H-2; both of the hydricity and acidity can be systematically varied by changing the substituents on the ligands. A series of Ni(II) electrocatalysts with pendant amines have been developed. In addition to the thermochemical considerations, the catalytic rate is strongly influenced by the ability to deliver protons to the correct location of the pendant amine. Protonation of the amine endo to the metal leads to the N-H being positioned appropriately to favor rapid heterocoupling with the M-H. Designing ligands that include proton relays that are properly positioned and thermodynamically tuned is a key principle for molecular electrocatalysts for H-2 production as well as for other multi-proton, multi-electron reactions important for energy conversions.

AB The ability of cationic coordination cages to act as anion receptors is reviewed, with an emphasis on the anion encapsulation chemistry and the dynamics of cage assembly, anion exchange, and other anion-induced structural transformations. The first part of the review describes various examples of anion-encapsulating coordination cages, categorized on the basis of their MxLy stoichiometry (M = metal cation; L = organic ligand). The second part deals with the dynamic aspects of anion encapsulation, including the kinetics and mechanism of anion binding, release, and exchange, as well as the structural evolution of the coordination complexes involved.

TI Probabilistic parameterisation of the surface mass balance-elevation
feedback in regional climate model simulations of the Greenland ice
sheet
SO CRYOSPHERE
LA English
DT Article
ID MAR; SENSITIVITY; PROJECTIONS
AB We present a new parameterisation that relates surface mass balance (SMB: the sum of surface accumulation and surface ablation) to changes in surface elevation of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) for the MAR (Modele Atmospherique Regional: Fettweis, 2007) regional climate model. The motivation is to dynamically adjust SMB as the GrIS evolves, allowing us to force ice sheet models with SMB simulated by MAR while incorporating the SMB-elevation feedback, without the substantial technical challenges of coupling ice sheet and climate models. This also allows us to assess the effect of elevation feedback uncertainty on the GrIS contribution to sea level, using multiple global climate and ice sheet models, without the need for additional, expensive MAR simulations.
We estimate this relationship separately below and above the equilibrium line altitude (ELA, separating negative and positive SMB) and for regions north and south of 77 degrees N, from a set of MAR simulations in which we alter the ice sheet surface elevation. These give four "SMB lapse rates", gradients that relate SMB changes to elevation changes. We assess uncertainties within a Bayesian framework, estimating probability distributions for each gradient from which we present best estimates and credibility intervals (CI) that bound 95% of the probability. Below the ELA our gradient estimates are mostly positive, because SMB usually increases with elevation: 0.56 (95% CI: -0.22 to 1.33) kg m(-3) a(-1) for the north, and 1.91 (1.03 to 2.61) kg m(-3) a(-1) for the south. Above the ELA, the gradients are much smaller in magnitude: 0.09 (-0.03 to 0.23) kg m(-3) a(-1) in the north, and 0.07 (-0.07 to 0.59) kg m(-3) a(-1) in the south, because SMB can either increase or decrease in response to increased elevation.
Our statistically founded approach allows us to make probabilistic assessments for the effect of elevation feedback uncertainty on sea level projections (Edwards et al., 2014).

TI Effect of uncertainty in surface mass balance-elevation feedback on
projections of the future sea level contribution of the Greenland ice
sheet
SO CRYOSPHERE

DT Article
ID CLIMATE MODEL MAR; SENSITIVITY; RISE; SYSTEM; SIMULATIONS; REANALYSIS;
GENERATION; GRADIENTS; EVOLUTION; DYNAMICS
AB We apply a new parameterisation of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) feedback between surface mass balance (SMB: the sum of surface accumulation and surface ablation) and surface elevation in the MAR regional climate model (Edwards et al., 2014) to projections of future climate change using five ice sheet models (ISMs). The MAR (Modele Atmospherique Regional: Fettweis, 2007) climate projections are for 2000-2199, forced by the ECHAM5 and HadCM3 global climate models (GCMs) under the SRES A1B emissions scenario.
The additional sea level contribution due to the SMB-elevation feedback averaged over five ISM projections for ECHAM5 and three for HadCM3 is 4.3% (best estimate; 95% credibility interval 1.8-6.9 %) at 2100, and 9.6% (best estimate; 95% credibility interval 3.6-16.0 %) at 2200. In all results the elevation feedback is significantly positive, amplifying the GrIS sea level contribution relative to the MAR projections in which the ice sheet topography is fixed: the lower bounds of our 95% credibility intervals (CIs) for sea level contributions are larger than the "no feedback" case for all ISMs and GCMs.
Our method is novel in sea level projections because we propagate three types of modelling uncertainty - GCM and ISM structural uncertainties, and elevation feedback parameterisation uncertainty - along the causal chain, from SRES scenario to sea level, within a coherent experimental design and statistical framework. The relative contributions to uncertainty depend on the timescale of interest. At 2100, the GCM uncertainty is largest, but by 2200 both the ISM and parameterisation uncertainties are larger. We also perform a perturbed parameter ensemble with one ISM to estimate the shape of the projected sea level probability distribution; our results indicate that the probability density is slightly skewed towards higher sea level contributions.

AB A new vegetation trend is emerging in northeastern forests of the United States, characterized by an expansion of red maple at the expense of oak. This has changed emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), primarily isoprene and monoterpenes. Oaks strongly emit isoprene while red maple emits a negligible amount. This species shift may impact nearby urban centers because the interaction of isoprene with anthropogenic nitrogen oxides can lead to tropospheric ozone formation and monoterpenes can lead to the formation of particulate matter. In this study the Global Biosphere Emissions and Interactions System was used to estimate the spatial changes in BVOC emission fluxes resulting from a shift in forest composition between oak and maple. A 70% reduction in isoprene emissions occurred when oak was replaced with maple. Ozone simulations with a chemical box model at two rural and two urban sites showed modest reductions in ozone concentrations of up to 5-6 ppb resulting from a transition from oak to red maple, thus suggesting that the observed change in forest composition may benefit urban air quality. This study illustrates the importance of monitoring and representing changes in forest composition and the impacts to human health indirectly through changes in BVOCs.

However, notwithstanding the potential for triggering notable (felt) seismic events, the potential for buoyancy-driven CO2 to reach potable groundwater and the ground surface is actually more important from public safety and storage-efficiency perspectives. In this context, this work extends the previous studies on the geomechanical modeling of fault responses during underground carbon dioxide injection, focusing on the short-term integrity of the sealing caprock, and hence on the potential for leakage of either brine or CO2 to reach the shallow groundwater aquifers during active injection. We consider stress/strain-dependent permeability and study the leakage through the fault zone as its permeability changes during a reactivation, also causing seismicity. We analyze several scenarios related to the volume of CO2 injected (and hence as a function of the overpressure), involving both minor and major faults, and analyze the profile risks of leakage for different stress/strain-permeability coupling functions. We conclude that whereas it is very difficult to predict how much fault permeability could change upon reactivation, this process can have a significant impact on the leakage rate. Moreover, our analysis shows that induced seismicity associated with fault reactivation may not necessarily open up a new flow path for leakage. Results show a poor correlation between magnitude and amount of fluid leakage, meaning that a single event is generally not enough to substantially change the permeability along the entire fault length. Consequently, even if some changes in permeability occur, this does not mean that the CO2 will migrate up along the entire fault, breaking through the caprock to enter the overlying aquifer.

AB We study the effect of random injection rate fluctuations on pressure and geomechanical stresses during geological sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2). We first derive analytical solutions for the mean and variance of the pressure of CO2 in the reservoir. Next, we use the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method to obtain the mean and variance of geomechanical deformation stresses and the maximum sustainable injection pressure based on shear-slip failure analysis. The MCS method is validated using the analytical solutions for mean and variance of the pressure. We demonstrate that for any Gaussian distribution of injection rate Q with given mean (Q) over bar and standard deviation epsilon(Q), the coefficients of variation of the CO2 pressure (epsilon(p) = epsilon(p)/(p) over bar), deformation (epsilon(u) = epsilon(u)/(u) over bar), and stresses (epsilon(sigma) = epsilon(sigma)/(sigma) over bar) increase linearly with the coefficient of variation of the injection rate (epsilon(Q) = epsilon(Q)/(Q) over bar). We calculate coefficients of variation and show that the fluctuations have the most pronounced effect on the geomechanical stresses and, therefore, on the potential fracturing of the aquifer and caprock layers.
We demonstrate that the maximum sustainable injection pressure can be determined based on shear-slip analysis with a given expected risk due to the injection rate fluctuations. We show that the injection rate fluctuations decrease the maximum sustainable injection pressure. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Time-lapse surface seismic surveys have been used for CO2 sequestration monitoring at Cranfield, Mississippi. The 3D time-lapse seismic data were recorded both before (2007) and after (2010) CO2 injection. The injection interval is the lower Tuscaloosa sandstone formation, which appears as a thin layer and displays weak signature due to CO2 injection in the post-stack seismic amplitudes. Previous studies have reported inversion of time-lapse acoustic impedances for CO2 plume mapping. However, the acoustic impedances lack elastic information, which are more sensitive to the fluid variation. To address this, we applied a basis pursuit pre-stack inversion on time-lapse Amplitude Versus Angle (AVA) datasets to obtain elastic properties (V-p, V-s, density and V-p-V-s ratio). The inverted elastic properties show improved resolution and provide reasonable fits to the well-log data. The temporal changes of inverted elastic properties provide a basis for mapping the CO2 plume after three years' injection, demonstrating their effectiveness for a CO2 sequestration study.

AB Lepton colliders are considered as options to complement and to extend the physics programme at the Large Hadron Collider. The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is an e(+)e(-) collider under development aiming at centre-of-mass energies of up to 3 TeV. For experiments at CLIC, a hadron sampling calorimeter with tungsten absorber is proposed. Such a calorimeter provides sufficient depth to contain high-energy showers, while allowing a compact size for the surrounding solenoid.
A fine-grained calorimeter prototype with tungsten absorber plates and scintillator tiles read out by silicon photomultipliers was built and exposed to particle beams at CERN. Results obtained with electrons, pions and protons of momenta up to 10 GeV are presented in terms of energy resolution and shower shape studies. The results are compared with several GEANT4 simulation models in order to assess the reliability of the Monte Carlo predictions relevant for a future experiment at CLIC.

AB The spatial resolution of a detector, using a reference detector telecscope, can be measured applying the geometric mean method, with tracks reconstructed from hits of all the detectors, including (sigma(in)) and excluding (sigma(ex)) the hit from the detector under study. The geometric mean of the two measured resolution values (sigma=root sigma(ex)sigma(in)), is proposed to provide a more accurate estimate of the intrinsic detector resolution. This method has been tested using a Monte Carlo algorithm and is proven to give accurate results, independently of the distance between the detectors used for the track fitting. The method does not give meaningful results if all the detectors do not carry the same characteristics.

SEARCHES; READOUT
AB Axion helioscopes aim at the detection of solar axions through their conversion into x-rays in laboratory magnetic fields. The use of low background x-ray detectors is an essential component contributing to the sensitivity of these searches. Here we review the recent advances on Micromegas detectors used in the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) and proposed for the future International Axion Observatory (IAXO). The most recent Micromegas setups in CAST have achieved background levels of 1 . 5 x 10(6) keV(-1) cm(-2) s(-1), a factor of more than 100 lower than the ones obtained by the first generation of CAST detectors. This improvement is due to the development of active and passive shielding techniques, offline discrimination techniques allowed by highly granular readout patterns, as well as the use of radiopure detector components. The status of the intensive R&D to reduce the background levels will be described, including the operation of replica detectors in test benches and the detailed Geant4 simulation of the detector setup and the detector response, which has allowed the progressive understanding of background origins. The best levels currently achieved in a test setup operating in the Canfranc Underground Laboratory (LSC) are as low as similar to 10(7) keV(-1) cm(-2) s(-1), showing the good prospects of this technology for application in the future IAXO.

Developed specifically for the measurement of charge from photo-detectors in high-rate environments, this most recent addition to the QIE family features 3 fC sensitivity, 17-bits of dynamic range with logarithmic response, a Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) with sub-nanosecond resolution, and internal charge injection. The device is capable of dead-timeless operation at 40 MHz, making it ideal for calorimetry at the Large hadron Collider (LHC). We present bench measurements and integration studies that characterize the performance, radiation tolerance measurements, and plans for deployment in the Atlas and CMS detectors as part of the Phase 1 and Phase 2 upgrades.

The device is manufactured by Molex using CMOS integrated silicon photonics developed by Luxtera. A transceiver contains four RX and four TX channels operating at 10 Gbps each, and is packaged in a QSFP+ module. The approach uses a standard CMOS process and single-mode fibers, providing low power consumption and good scalability and reliability. We present performance measurements, radiation tolerance measurements, and plans for deployment in the ATLAS experiment at the LHC.

AB High luminosity conditions at the LHC pose many unique challenges for potential silicon based track trigger systems. Among those challenges is data formatting, where hits from thousands of silicon modules must first be shared and organized into overlapping trigger towers. Other challenges exist for Level-1 track triggers, where many parallel data paths may be used for high speed time multiplexed data processing. A full mesh high speed backplane is a natural candidate to address both challenges. A custom full mesh enabled ATCA board called the Pulsar II has been designed with the goal of creating a scalable architecture abundant in flexible, non-blocking, high bandwidth board-to-board communication channels while keeping the design as simple as possible.

AB The increased luminosity of the HL-LHC will require more channels in the upgraded ATLAS Tracker, as a result of the finer detector segmentation, stemming from the otherwise too high occupancy. Among the many technological challenges facing the ATLAS Tracker Upgrade there is more an efficient power distribution and HV biasing of the sensors. The solution adopted in the current ATLAS detector uses one HV conductor for each sensor, which makes it easy to disable malfunctioning sensors without affecting the others, but space constraints and material budget considerations renders this approach impractical for the Upgraded detector. A number of approaches, including the use of the same HV line to bias several sensors and suitable HV switches, along with their control circuitry, are currently being investigated for this purpose. The proposed solutions along with latest test results and measurements will be described.

AB This paper summarizes the radiation testing performed on the Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA in an effort to determine if the Kintex-7 can be used within the ATLAS Liquid Argon (LAr) Calorimeter. The Kintex-7 device was tested with wide-spectrum neutrons, protons, heavy-ions, and mixed high-energy hadron environments. The results of these tests were used to estimate the configuration ram and block ram upset rate within the ATLAS LAr. These estimations suggest that the configuration memory will upset at a rate of 1.1 x 10(-10) upsets/bit/s and the bram memory will upset at a rate of 9.06 x 10(-11) upsets/bit/s. For the Kintex 7K325 device, this translates to 6.85 x 10(-3) upsets/device/s for configuration memory and 1.49 x 10(-3) for block memory.

MORTALITY; SURVIVAL
AB Tropical rivers have high annual discharges optimal for hydropower and irrigation development. The Mekong River is one of the largest tropical river systems, supporting a unique mega-diverse fish community. Fish are an important commodity in the Mekong, contributing a large proportion of calcium, protein, and essential nutrients to the diet of the local people and providing a critical source of income for rural households. Many of these fish migrate not only upstream and downstream within main-channel habitats but also laterally into highly productive floodplain habitat to both feed and spawn. Most work to date has focused on providing for upstream fish passage, but downstream movement is an equally important process to protect. Expansion of hydropower and irrigation weirs can disrupt downstream migrations and it is important to ensure that passage through regulators or mini hydro systems is not harmful or fatal. Many new infrastructure projects (<6m head) are proposed for the thousands of tributary streams throughout the Lower Mekong Basin and it is important that designs incorporate the best available science to protect downstream migrants. Recent advances in technology have provided new techniques which could be applied to Mekong fish species to obtain design criteria that can facilitate safe downstream passage. Obtaining and applying this knowledge to new infrastructure projects is essential in order to produce outcomes that are more favorable to local ecosystems and fisheries. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.

AB A generalized actuator disk (GAD) wind turbine parameterization designed for large-eddy simulation (LES) applications was implemented into the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. WRF-LES with the GAD model enables numerical investigation of the effects of an operating wind turbine on and interactions with a broad range of atmospheric boundary layer phenomena. Numerical simulations using WRF-LES with the GAD model were compared with measurements obtained from the Turbine Wake and Inflow Characterization Study (TWICS-2011), the goal of which was to measure both the inflow to and wake from a 2.3-MW wind turbine. Data from a meteorological tower and two light-detection and ranging (lidar) systems, one vertically profiling and another operated over a variety of scanning modes, were utilized to obtain forcing for the simulations, and to evaluate characteristics of the simulated wakes. Simulations produced wakes with physically consistent rotation and velocity deficits. Two surface heat flux values of 20W m(-2) and 100W m(-2) were used to examine the sensitivity of the simulated wakes to convective instability. Simulations using the smaller heat flux values showed good agreement with wake deficits observed during TWICS-2011, whereas those using the larger value showed enhanced spreading and more-rapid attenuation. This study demonstrates the utility of actuator models implemented within atmospheric LES to address a range of atmospheric science and engineering applications. Validated implementation of the GAD in a numerical weather prediction code such as WRF will enable a wide range of studies related to the interaction of wind turbines with the atmosphere and surface.

AB Starting from three-dimensional X-ray tomography data of a commercial LiMn2O4 battery electrode, the effect of microstructure on the electrochemical and chemo-mechanical response of lithium-ion batteries is analyzed. Simulations show that particle size polydispersity impact the local chemical and electrical behavior of a porous electrode, while particle-particle mechanical interactions favor intercalation induced stress accumulation, resulting in a mechanically unreliable electrode microstructure. Simulations based on computer-generated electrode microstructures demonstrate that broad particle size distributions deliver up to two times higher energy density than monodisperse-sized particles based electrodes for low C-rates. However, monodisperse particle size distribution electrodes deliver the highest energy and power density for high discharge rates due to a higher surface area of reactive material per unit volume. Calculations show that the surface roughness in experimentally determined electrodes is 2.5 times higher than the one delivered by perfectly smooth spherical particles in computer generated electrodes, and provide high instantaneous power performance, but accelerate side reactions that impact negatively on power performance. The combined experimental and modeling approach demonstrates that porous electrodes with spatially uniform microstructural features improve electrochemical performance and mechanical reliability, especially for high power density applications.

AB presented. Three distinct processes have been identified and tracked during extended electrochemical cycling. In addition to the standard intercalation behavior typical of layered metal oxide electrodes, two additional electrochemical phenomena, manifest as hysteresis and continuous voltage fade, are found to be directly related to one another. These two processes are a consequence of the Li2MnO3 component in the electrochemical reaction. This finding, coupled to X-ray absorption data, reveals that lithium and manganese ordering plays a significant role in the voltage degradation mechanisms of high-capacity lithium-and manganese-rich composite electrode structures. In general, all xLi(2)MnO(3)center dot(1-x)LiMO2 (M = Mn, Ni, Co) electrode materials possess this feature and are subject to similar degradation after activation (>4.5 V) and during high voltage (>4.0 V) cycling. The data highlight the practical importance of limiting the amount of Li2MnO3 and/or the extent of activation in these composite structures, thereby providing electrode stability to counteract voltage and hysteresis.

AB Cyclic voltammetry of zinc plated from flowing alkaline zincate electrolyte with a bismuth additive showed a marked mass transport effect during metal layer deplating. This bismuth was added as Bi2O3 and had a saturated concentration of 26 ppm bismuth. Using a small, transparent window flow cell the mechanism was studied in situ using synchrotron X-rays. X-ray microdiffraction revealed that the metal-electrolyte interface was bismuth rich, and bismuth behaved in a manner similar to a surfactant. Transmission X-ray microscopy revealed that in the presence of bismuth additive, 5 pm raised features on the metal layer were preferentially dissolved during deplating. However, macro-morphology experiments demonstrated that at 26 ppm a detrimental bismuth buildup occurred over many cycles. By reducing additive concentration to 3 ppm a metal layer was planarized compared to a no-additive control, while avoiding the bismuth buildup. These findings suggested that 3 ppm bismuth could be used to planarize zinc metal layers such as those in flow-assisted zinc batteries. However, concentration will need to be well-controlled.

AB Long-term cycling performances of LiFePO4/graphite batteries have been investigated in different state-of-charge (SOC) ranges. It is found that batteries cycled in the medium SOC range exhibit superior cycling stability over those cycled at both ends of the SOC ranges. A variety of characterization techniques, including galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) analysis, model-based parameter identification, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis, and entropy change test, were used to investigate the performance difference of the batteries cycled in different SOC ranges. The results reveal that batteries at the end of SOC exhibit much higher polarization impedance than those within the medium-SOC range. This result can be attributed to the significant structural change of the cathode and anode materials as revealed by the large entropy change within-these SOC regions. Identification of the best operating conditions for LiFePO4/graphite batteries will significantly extend their cycle life. The general control principle obtained in this work, such as modulating the charge/discharge current to minimize the impedance extremes can also be used in the operation control of other battery systems.

AB Fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) shows promise as an electrolyte additive for improving passivating solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) films on silicon anodes used in lithium ion batteries (LIB). We apply density functional theory (DFT), ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), and quantum chemistry techniques to examine excess-electron-induced FEC molecular decomposition mechanisms that lead to FEC-modified SEL We consider one- and two-electron reactions using cluster models and explicit interfaces between liquid electrolyte and model LixSiy surfaces, respectively. FEC is found to exhibit more varied reaction pathways than unsubstituted ethylene carbonate. The initial bond-breaking events and products of one- and two-electron reactions are qualitatively similar, with a fluoride ion detached in both cases. However, most one-electron products are charge-neutral, not anionic, and may not coalesce to form effective Li+-conducting SEI unless they are further reduced or take part in other reactions. The implications of these reactions to silicon-anode based LIB are discussed. (C) 2013 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.

AB Sodium zirconium phosphate, NaZr2P3O12, thin films have been prepared via a chemical solution approach on platinized silicon substrates. The films are observed to crystallize at temperatures in excess of 725 degrees C and are highly 012-textured. Film grain size scales with processing temperature with grain sizes of 96 to 142 urn measured for films processed at 750 degrees C to 800 degrees C, respectively. Room temperature sodium-ion conductivity also scales with processing temperature with values of 3.5 x 10(-7) to 5.1 x 10(-7) S/cm measured. Activation energies for sodium-ion conduction measured from room temperature to 150 degrees C were invariant with processing condition and are approximately 0.49 eV. The ionic conductivity and activation energy values agree well with bulk ceramic reference data and thus demonstrate that sodium super ionic conducting thin films with bulk-like properties are possible in thin film embodiments.

TI Highly Quantitative Electrochemical Characterization of Non-Aqueous
Electrolytes and Solid Electrolyte Interphases
SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY
LA English
DT Article
ID NOBLE-METAL ELECTRODES; LI-ION BATTERIES; LITHIUM; PERFORMANCE
AB The methods to measure solid electrolyte interphase (SET) electrochemical properties and SEI formation capability of non-aqueous electrolyte solutions are rarely addressed in the literature. And yet, there is a strong demand for new electrolyte generations that promote stabilized SEIs and have an influence to resolve safety, calendar life and other limitations of Li-ion batteries. To fill this gap, an in situ electrochemical approach with new descriptive criteria for highly quantitative characterization of SET and electrolytes is proposed. These criteria are: SET formation capacity, SET corrosion rate, SEI maintenance rate, and SET kinetic stability. These criteria are associated with battery parameters like irreversible capacity, self-discharge, shelf-life, power, etc. Therefore, they are especially useful for electrolyte development and standard fast screening, allowing a skillful approach to narrow down the search for the best electrolyte. The characterization protocol also allows retrieving information on interfacial resistance for SET layers and the electrochemical window of electrolytes, the other important metrics of characterization. The method validation was done on electrolyte blends 1.2M LiPF6 EC+EMC + X (16:64:20) (v/v%); where EC is ethylene carbonate, EMC is ethyl methyl carbonate and X is phosphazene. Several phosphazene varieties were developed with a target for safer electrolyte formulations. (C) 2014 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.

AB The development of corrosion-resistant waste forms suitable for long-term, safe disposal of Tc-99 is an important objective for the back-end of advanced nuclear fuel cycles. In this work, atomistic modeling has been employed to provide fundamental information about the durability of proposed Tc-containing materials. Specifically, first-principles studies have been carried out to investigate the reactivity of hydrogen, oxygen, and water on Tc(0001) and MoTc(111) surfaces. Our findings indicate that the preferable adsorption sites on Tc(0001) and MoTc(111) surfaces strongly depend on the adsorbates. The calculated oxygen adsorption energy on Tc(0001) is in excellent agreement with previous studies. Water adsorption on the Tc(0001) and MoTc(111) surfaces has also, been elucidated. The Eh-pH diagram of the Tc-O-H system has been constructed by solving the Nernst equations for possible reactions between Tc and its oxidizing products and compared to experimental data. The modified embedded atom method has also been employed to simulate the response of the MoTc(110) surface to active dissolution as a function of the Tc content in the alloy. It is found that the addition of small amounts of Tc (up to 10%) lowers the corrosion rate under these conditions. (C) 2013 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.

AB A model for coalescence/sintering of Pt nanoparticles is developed to analyze particle growth and electrochemical surface area (ECSA) loss measured in aqueous tests and in catalyst-coated membrane and gas diffusion electrode-containing single fuel cells. The model combines a non-ideal solid solution theory for Pt dissolution with the dynamics of particle size evolution considering particle growth by Ostwald ripening and coalescence/sintering. Results from the model indicate that the observed growth in particle size and loss in ECSA in accelerated tests are primarily due to coalescence/sintering resulting from Pt dissolution and redeposition between particles. An enthalpy of dissolution of 49.3 kJ.mol(-1) and an effective heat of fusion of 28.2 kJ.mol(-1) for particle coalescence/sintering have been empirically determined from the measured temperature dependence of particle growth. The model suggests that higher Pt solubility in the presence of oxygen is responsible for enhanced particle growth and ECSA loss in accelerated tests in H-2/air as compared to H-2/N-2. The model also indicates that the dissolution rate constant must be reduced by two orders of magnitude to explain the measured decrease in ECSA loss of the Pt cathode catalyst after 10,000 square potential cycles at 80 degrees C when the relative humidity is decreased from 100% to 30%.

AB Nucleation and growth of ice in the catalyst layer of a proton-exchange-membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) are investigated using isothermal differential scanning calorimetry and isothermal galvanostatic cold-starts. Isothermal ice-crystallization rates and ice-nucleation rates are obtained from heat-flow and induction-time measurements at temperatures between 240 and 273 K for four commercial carbon-support materials with varying ionomer fraction and platinum loading. Measured induction times follow expected trends from classical nucleation theory and reveal that the carbon-support material and ionomer fraction strongly impact the onset of ice crystallization. Conversely, dispersed platinum particles play little role in ice crystallization. Following our previous approach, a nonlinear ice-crystallization rate expression is obtained from Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) theory. A validated rate expression is now available for predicting ice crystallization within water-saturated catalyst layers. Using a simplified PEMFC isothermal cold-start continuum model, we compare cell-failure time predicted using the newly obtained rate expression to that predicted using a traditional thermodynamic-based approach. From this comparison, we identify conditions under which including ice-crystallization kinetics is critical and elucidate the impact of freezing kinetics on low-temperature PEMFC operation. The numerical model illustrates that cell-failure time increases with increasing temperature due to a longer required time for ice nucleation. Hence, ice-crystallization kinetics is critical when induction times are long (i.e., in the "nucleation-limited" regime for T > 263 K). Cell-failure times predicted using ice-freezing kinetics are in good agreement with the isothermal cold-starts, which also exhibit long and distributed cell-failure times for T > 263 K. These findings demonstrate a significant departure from cell-failure times predicted using the thermodynamic-based approach. (C) 2013 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.

AB In this research, the polarization behavior and kinetic pathways of an SOFC cathode have been investigated with a 1-D continuum model incorporating material physical properties and surface potential effects into a multi-step ORR kinetic formalism. It is found that (1) Two different types of 3PB-to-2PB pathway transitions can be identified. A strong 2PB pathway contribution leads to an explicit transition, while an implicit transition implies more favorable 3PB kinetics. The predicted kinetic trends qualitatively agree with literature results on single-phase LSM cathodes in different configurations and operation conditions; (2) The explanation for the different transition modes concerns the fact that the mass transport limitation of the 3PB path is more easily reached (at lower overpotential) when incorporation kinetics are favored by the material properties; and (3) The surface potential is found to strongly control the oxygen adsorption by introducing a rate-limit for cathodes with lower oxygen coverage, and can drive the incorporation faster under 3PB-favorable states.

AB Heterogeneous catalysis utilizing metal particles plays an essential role in the industrial applications. Design and fabrication of highly active catalysts in an efficient and cost-effective way is thus an important topic. The emergence of nanotechnology provides an excellent opportunity for developing new catalysts. In this critical review, we present our efforts and perspective on the recent advances in engineering nanomaterials for catalysis, including synthesis, stabilization, and catalytic applications of nanoparticles. We first briefly summarize the advanced colloidal synthesis of metal nanoparticles using Ag nanoplates as the model system, and then discuss the strategies for stabilization of metal nanoparticles using both chemical and physical approaches. And finally, for practical applications, we have designed and synthesized a highly efficient, stable, and cost-effective TiO2-based photocatalyst by combining both non-metal doping and noble metal decoration.

AB Molecular dynamics simulations in conjunction with finite element calculations are used to explore the conformational dynamics of a thermo-sensitive oligomer, namely poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), subjected to an ultra-fast heating-cooling cycle. Finite element (FE) calculations were used to predict the temperature profile resulting from laser-induced heating of the polymer-aqueous system. The heating rate (similar to 0.6 K ps(-1)) deduced from FE calculations was used to heat an aqueous solution of PNIPAM consisting of 30 monomeric units (30-mer) from 285 K to 315 K. Non-equilibrium effects arising from the ultra-fast heating-cooling cycle results in a hysteresis during the coil-to-globule transition. The corresponding atomic scale conformations were characterized by monitoring the changes in the vibrational spectra, which provided a reliable metric to study the coil-to-globule transition in PNIPAM and vice-versa across the LCST. The vibrational spectra of bonds involving atoms from the oligomer backbone and the various side-groups (amide I, amide II, and the isopropyl group of PNIPAM) of the oligomers were analyzed to study the conformational changes in the oligomer corresponding to the observed hysteresis. The differences in the vibrational spectra calculated at various temperatures during heating and cooling cycles were used to understand the coil-to-globule and globule-to-coil transitions in the PNIPAM oligomer and identify the changes in the relative interactions between various atoms in the backbone and in the side groups of the oligomer with water. The shifts in the computed vibrational spectral peaks and the changes in the intensity of peaks for the different regions of PNIPAM, seen across the LCST during the heating cycle, are in good agreement with previous experimental studies. The changes in the radius of gyration (R-g) and vibrational spectra for amide I and amide II regions of PNIPAM suggest a clear coil-to-globule transition at similar to 301 K during the heating cycle from 285 K to 315 K. During the heating cycle, a comparison of the vibrational spectra of isopropyl groups in PNIPAM at 285 K and 315 K suggests dehydration of the isopropyl moieties at 315 K. This implies that the oligomer-water interactions are dominant below the LCST whereas oligomer-oligomer interactions pre-dominate above the LCST. On the other hand, during the cooling cycle minor changes in the Rg and vibrational spectra of the PNIPAM oligomer in going from 315 K to 285 K indicate that the interactions between oligomer-oligomer and between the oligomer and water are less perturbed during the cooling cycle. Our simulations suggest that the observed hysteresis is a consequence of ultrafast heating-cooling kinetics, which allows insufficient relaxation times for the solvated oligomer.

AB We report that colloid-in-liquid crystal (CLC) gels can be formed via a two-step process that involves spinodal decomposition of a dispersion of colloidal particles in an isotropic phase of mesogens followed by nucleation of nematic domains within the colloidal network defined by the spinodal process. This pathway contrasts to previously reported routes leading to the formation of CLC gels, which have involved entanglement of defects or exclusion of particles from growing nematic domains. The new route provides the basis of simple design rules that enable control of the microstructure and dynamic mechanical properties of the gels.

AB Polymer networks are critically important for numerous applications including soft biomaterials, adhesives, coatings, elastomers, and gel-based materials for energy storage. One long-standing challenge these materials present lies in understanding the role of network defects, such as dangling ends and loops, developed during cross-linking. These defects can negatively impact the physical, mechanical, and transport properties of the gel. Here we report chemically cross-linked poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) gels formed through a unique cross-linking scheme designed to minimize defects in the network. The highly resilient mechanical properties of these systems (discussed in a previous publication) [J. Cui, M. A. Lackey, A. E. Madkour, E. M. Saffer, D. M. Griffin, S. R. Bhatia, A. J. Crosby and G. N. Tew, Biomacromolecules, 2012, 13, 584-588], suggests that this cross-linking technique yields more homogeneous network structures. Four series of gels were formed based on chains of 35 000 g mol(-1), (35k), 12 000 g mol(-1) (12k) g mol(-1), 8000 g mol(-1) (8k) and 4000 g mol(-1) (4k) PEG. Gels were synthesized at five initial polymer concentrations ranging from 0.077 g mL(-1) to 0.50 g mL(-1). Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) was utilized to investigate the network structures of gels in both D2O and d-DMF. SANS results show the resulting network structure is dependent on PEG length, transitioning from a more homogeneous network structure at high molecular weight PEG to a two phase structure at the lowest molecular weight PEG. Further investigation of the transport properties inherent to these systems, such as diffusion, will aid to further confirm the network structures.

AB In a non-uniform magnetic field, the droplets of colloids of nickel nanorods and nanobeads aggregate to form a cusp at the droplet surface not deforming the entire droplet shape. When the field is removed, nanorods diffuse away and the cusp disappears. Spherical particles can form cusps in a similar way, but they stay aggregated after the release of the field; finally, the aggregates settle down to the bottom of the drop. The X-ray phase contrast imaging reveals that nanorods in the cusps stay parallel to each other without visible spatial order of their centers of mass. The formation of cusps can be explained with a model that includes magnetostatic and surface tension forces. The discovered possibility of controlled assembly and quenching of nanorod orientation under the cusped liquid surface offers vast opportunities for alignment of carbon nanotubes, nanowires and nanoscrolls, prior to spinning them into superstrong and multifunctional fibers. Magnetostatic and electrostatic analogies suggest that a similar ideal alignment can be achieved with the rod-like dipoles subject to a strong electric field.

AB As the third domain of life, archaea, like the eukarya and bacteria, must have robust DNA replication and repair complexes to ensure genome fidelity. Archaea moreover display a breadth of unique habitats and characteristics, and structural biologists increasingly appreciate these features. As archaea include extremophiles that can withstand diverse environmental stresses, they provide fundamental systems for understanding enzymes and pathways critical to genome integrity and stress responses. Such archaeal extremophiles provide critical data on the periodic table for life as well as on the biochemical, geochemical, and physical limitations to adaptive strategies allowing organisms to thrive under environmental stress relevant to determining the boundaries for life as we know it. Specifically, archaeal enzyme structures have informed the architecture and mechanisms of key DNA repair proteins and complexes. With added abilities to temperature-trap flexible complexes and reveal core domains of transient and dynamic complexes, these structures provide insights into mechanisms of maintaining genome integrity despite extreme environmental stress. The DNA damage response protein structures noted in this review therefore inform the basis for genome integrity in the face of environmental stress, with implications for all domains of life as well as for biomanufacturing, astrobiology, and medicine.

AB ITER ELM coils are used to mitigate or suppress Edge Localized Modes (ELM), which are located between the vacuum vessel (VV) and shielding blanket modules and subject to high radiation levels, high temperature and high magnetic field. These coils shall have high heat transfer performance to avoid high thermal stress, sufficient strength and excellent fatigue to transport and bear the alternating electromagnetic force due to the combination of the high magnetic field and the AC current in the coil. Therefore these coils should be designed and analyzed to confirm the temperature distribution, strength and fatigue performance in the case of conservative assumption. To verify the design structural feasibility of the upper ELM coil under EM and thermal loads, thermal, static and fatigue structural analysis have been performed in detail using ANSYS. In addition, design optimization has been done to enhance the structural performance of the upper ELM coil. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB In this short paper we study the flow of a mixture of a fluid infused with particles in a channel. We use the classical mixture theory approach whereby constitutive relations are proposed for the stress tensor of each phase. For the interaction forces, the effect of different hindrance functions for the drag force is studied; moreover a generalized form of the expression for the coefficients of the interactions forces, also known as the hindrance functions, is suggested. For studying this two-component system numerically, a three-dimensional CFD solver based on OpenFOAM (R) has been developed. Applying this solver, a specific problem (blood flow) has been studied for which our numerical results and experimental data show good agreement. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Crystallographic structural changes were investigated for Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5O6-delta, an electrode material for symmetric solid oxide fuel cells. The samples of this material were heated and cooled in wet hydrogen and wet oxygen atmospheres, to simulate the reducing and oxidizing conditions experienced under actual fuel cell operating conditions, and their structures and oxygen contents were determined using in situ powder neutron diffraction. The existence of a reversible tetragonal to cubic phase transition was established to occur between room temperature and 400 degrees C, both on heating and cooling in either oxygen or hydrogen. The oxygen content reaches a low value of 5.50(2) at 850 degrees C in wet hydrogen. Excellent correlations are observed between the oxygen content of the structure and the conductivities reported in the literature.

In addition, the reduction in electrical impedance of electrodes coated with polythiophenes may prove to be invaluable for a stable and permanent connection between devices and biological tissues. This review article focuses on the synthesis and some key applications of polythiophenes in multidisciplinary areas at the interface with biology. These polymers have shown tremendous potential in biological applications such as diagnostics, therapy, drug delivery, imaging, implant devices and artificial organs.

AB The field of making, studying and using molecular aggregates, in which the individual molecules (monomers) are arranged in a regular fashion, has come a long way. Taking control over the aggregation of small molecules and polymers in bulk, on surfaces and at interfaces pose a considerable challenge for their utilization in modern high tech applications. In this review, we provide a detailed insight into recent trends in molecular aggregates from the perspectives of nanoarchitectonics.

AB The behavior of a negative refraction photonic crystal slab irradiated with out-of-plane incident beam is an unexplored subject. In such an experimental configuration, guided mode resonance appears in the reflection spectrum. We show that, in this case, the light coupled inside the photonic crystal is backpropagating. A relationship with the negative index properties is established using a new approach in which the guided resonance is recovered by modeling the photonic crystal layer with a simple Lorentz resonator using the Fresnel reflection formula.

AB A practical SuperDislocation Model (SDM) has been developed and implemented to predict dislocation density distributions in a plastically deforming polycrystal and thereby the Hall-Petch effect. The model is composed of two stepwise simulation scales; the first scale is a finite element model of a polycrystal using a novel single-crystal constitutive equation and the second scale redistributes the mobile part of the dislocation density within grains consistent with the plastic strain distribution, and enforces slip transmission criteria at grain boundaries that depend on local grain and boundary properties.
In this work, deformation of Fe-3% Si tensile specimen is simulated using SDM to compare dislocation densities obtained from the high-resolution electron backscatter diffraction (HR-EBSD). The model accurately predicts the measured dislocation density at 10% deformation. In addition, size-dependent simulations show that the model qualitatively predicts Hall-Petch slope as well as the grain boundary strength of Fe-3% Si.

AB Since Penn et al. first discovered the oriented attachment growth of crystals, the oriented attachment mechanism has now become a major research focus in the crystal field, and extensive efforts have been carried out over the past decade to systematically investigate the growth mechanism and the statistical kinetic models. However, most of the work mainly focuses on the experimental results on the oriented attachment growth. In contrast to the previous reviews, our review provides an overview of the recent theoretical advances in oriented attachment kinetics combined with experimental evidences. After a brief introduction to the van der Waals interaction and Coulombic interaction in a colloidal system, the correlation between the kinetic models of oriented attachment growth and the interactions is then our focus. The impact of in situ experimental observation techniques on the study of oriented attachment growth is examined with insightful examples. In addition, the advances in theoretical simulations mainly investigating the thermodynamic origin of these interactions at the atomic level are reviewed. This review seeks to understand the oriented attachment crystal growth from a kinetic point of view and provide a quantitative methodology to rationally design an oriented attachment system with pre-evaluated crystal growth parameters.

AB Ni was deposited onto lithographically-defined conductive three dimensional carbon networks to form asymmetric pseudo-capacitive electrodes. A real capacity of above 500 mF cm(-2), or specific capacitance of similar to 2100 F g(-1) near the theoretical value, has been achieved. After a rapid thermal annealing process, amorphous carbon was partially converted into multilayer graphene depending on the annealing temperature and time duration. These annealed Ni-graphene composite structures exhibit enhanced charge transport kinetics relative to un-annealed Ni-carbon scaffolds indicated by a reduction in peak separation from 0.84 V to 0.29 V at a scan rate of 1000 mV s(-1).

TI Modeling of large amplitude plasma blobs in three-dimensions
SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS
LA English
DT Article
ID EDGE; TURBULENCE
AB Fluctuations in fusion boundary and similar plasmas often have the form of filamentary structures, or blobs, that convectively propagate radially. This may lead to the degradation of plasma facing components as well as plasma confinement. Theoretical analysis of plasma blobs usually takes advantage of the so-called Boussinesq approximation of the potential vorticity equation, which greatly simplifies the treatment analytically and numerically. This approximation is only strictly justified when the blob density amplitude is small with respect to that of the background plasma. However, this is not the case for typical plasma blobs in the far scrape-off layer region, where the background density is small compared to that of the blob, and results obtained based on the Boussinesq approximation are questionable. In this report, the solution of the full vorticity equation, without the usual Boussinesq approximation, is proposed via a novel numerical approach. The method is used to solve for the evolution of 2D and 3D plasma blobs in a regime where the Boussinesq approximation is not valid. The Boussinesq solution under predicts the cross field transport in 2D. However, in 3D, for parameters typical of current tokamaks, the disparity between the radial cross field transport from the Boussinesq approximation and full solution is virtually non-existent due to the effects of the drift wave instability.

AB Microwave backscattering experiments have been performed on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak in order to investigate the propagation of lower hybrid (LH) waves in reactor-relevant, high-density plasmas. When the line-averaged density is raised above 1 x 10(20) m(-3), lower hybrid current drive efficiency is found to be lower than expected [Wallace et al., Phys. Plasmas 19, 062505 (2012)] and LH power is thought to be dissipated at the plasma edge. Using a single channel (60 GHz) ordinary-mode (O-mode) reflectometer system, we demonstrate radially localized LH wave measurements in the scrape-off layer of high density plasmas ((n) over bar (e) greater than or similar to 0.9 x 10(20) m(-3)). Measured backscattered O-mode power varies depending on the magnetic field line mapping, suggesting the resonance cone propagation of LH waves. Backscattered power is also sensitive to variations in plasma density and the launched parallel refractive index of the LH waves. LH ray-tracing simulations have been carried out to interpret the observed variations. To understand the measured LH waves in regions not magnetically connected to the launcher, two hypotheses are examined. One is the weak single pass absorption and the other is scattering of LH waves by non-linear effects. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.

TI Effect of defocusing on picosecond laser-coupling into gold cones
SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS
LA English
DT Article
ID IGNITION; PLASMA; FUSION; DENSITY; GAIN
AB Here, we show that defocusing of the laser in the interaction of a picosecond duration, 1.053 mu m wavelength, high energy pulse with a cone-wire target does not significantly affect the laser energy coupling efficiency, but does result in a drop in the fast electron effective temperature. This may be beneficial for fast ignition, since not only were more electrons with lower energies seen in the experiment but also the lower prepulse intensity will reduce the amount of preplasma present on arrival of the main pulse, reducing the distance the hot electrons have to travel. We used the Vulcan Petawatt Laser at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and gold cone targets with approximately 1 mm long, 40 mu m diameter copper wires attached to their tip. Diagnostics included a quartz crystal imager, a pair of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite crystal spectrometers and a calibrated CCD operating in the single photon counting regime, all of which looked at the copper K-alpha emission from the wire. A short pulse optical probe, delayed 400 ps relative to the main pulse was employed to diagnose the extent of plasma expansion around the wire. A ray-tracing code modeled the change in intensity on the interior surface of the cone with laser defocusing-. Using a model for the wire copper K-alpha emission coupled to a hybrid Vlasov-Fokker-Planck code, we ran a series of simulations, holding the total energy in electrons constant whilst varying the electron temperature, which support the experimental conclusions.

AB Fast, impulsive reconnection is commonly observed in laboratory, space, and astrophysical plasmas. In this work, impulsive, local, 3-D reconnection is identified for the first time in a laboratory current sheet. The two-fluid, impulsive reconnection events observed on the Magnetic Reconnection Experiment (MRX) [Yamada et al., Phys Plasmas 4, 1936 (1997)] cannot be explained by 2-D models and are therefore fundamentally three-dimensional. Several signatures of flux ropes are identified with these events; 3-D high current density regions with O-point structure form during a slow buildup period that precedes a fast disruption of the reconnecting current layer. The observed drop in the reconnection current and spike in the reconnection rate during the disruption are due to ejection of these flux ropes from the layer. Underscoring the 3-D nature of the events, strong out-of-plane gradients in both the density and reconnecting magnetic field are found to play a key role in this process. Electromagnetic fluctuations in the lower hybrid frequency range are observed to peak at the disruption time; however, they are not the key physics responsible for the impulsive phenomena observed. Important features of the disruption dynamics cannot be explained by an anomalous resistivity model. An important discrepancy in the layer width and force balance between the collisionless regime of MRX and kinetic simulations is also revisited. The wider layers observed in MRX may be due to the formation of flux ropes with a wide range of sizes; consistent with this hypothesis, flux rope signatures are observed down to the smallest scales resolved by the diagnostics. Finally, a 3-D two-fluid model is proposed to explain how the observed out-of-plane variation may lead to a localized region of enhanced reconnection that spreads in the direction of the out-of-plane electron flow, ejecting flux ropes from the layer in a 3-D manner.

AB A particle-in-cell simulation shows that the exhaust during anti-parallel reconnection in the collisionless regime contains a current sheet extending 100 inertial lengths from the X line. The current sheet is supported by electron pressure anisotropy near the X line and ion anisotropy farther downstream. Field-aligned electron currents flowing outside the magnetic separatrices feed the exhaust current sheet and generate the out-of-plane, or Hall, magnetic field. Existing models based on different mechanisms for each particle species provide good estimates for the levels of pressure anisotropy. The ion anisotropy, which is strong enough to reach the firehose instability threshold, is also important for overall force balance. It reduces the outflow speed of the plasma.

DT Article
ID ELECTRON-EMISSION; LANGMUIR PROBE; REFERENCE CELL; TEMPERATURE;
SECONDARY; SYSTEM; SPACE; KHZ
AB The difference between the plasma potential and the floating potential of a highly emissive planar surface was measured in the afterglow of a radio frequency discharge. A Langmuir probe was used to measure the electron temperature and an emissive probe was used to measure the spatial distribution of the potential using the inflection point in the limit of zero emission technique. Time-resolved measurements were made using the slow-sweep method, a technique for measuring time-resolved current-voltage traces. This was the first time the inflection point in the limit of zero emission was used to make time-resolved measurements. Measurements of the potential profile of the presheath indicate that the potential penetrated approximately 50% farther into the plasma when a surface was emitting electrons. The experiments confirmed a recent kinetic theory of emissive sheaths, demonstrating that late in the afterglow as the plasma electron temperature approached the emitted electron temperature, the emissive sheath potential shrank to zero. However, the difference between the plasma potential and the floating potential of a highly emissive planar surface data appeared to be much less sensitive to the electron temperature ratio than the theory predicts.

TI Heat flux modeling using ion drift effects in DIII-D H-mode plasmas with
resonant magnetic perturbations
SO PHYSICS OF PLASMAS

DT Article
ID DYNAMIC ERGODIC DIVERTOR; EDGE; TRANSPORT; TEXTOR; TOKAMAK; TANGLES
AB The heat flux patterns measured in low-collisionality DIII-D H-mode plasmas strongly deviate from simultaneously measured CII emission patterns, used as indicator of particle flux, during applied resonant magnetic perturbations. While the CII emission clearly shows typical striations, which are similar to magnetic footprint patterns obtained from vacuum field line tracing, the heat flux is usually dominated by one large peak at the strike point position. The vacuum approximation, which only considers applied magnetic fields and neglects plasma response and plasma effects, cannot explain the shape of the observed heat flux pattern. One possible explanation is the effect of particle drifts. This is included in the field line equations and the results are discussed with reference to the measurement. Electrons and ions show different drift motions at thermal energy levels in a guiding center approximation. While electrons hardly deviate from the field lines, ions can drift several centimetres away from field line flux surfaces. A model is presented in which an ion heat flux, based on the ion drift motion from various kinetic energies as they contribute to a thermal Maxwellian distribution, is calculated. The simulated heat flux is directly compared to measurements with a varying edge safety factor q(95). This analysis provides evidence for the dominate effect of high-energy ions in carrying heat from the plasma inside the separatrix to the target. High-energy ions are deposited close to the unperturbed strike line, while low-energy ions can travel into the striated magnetic topology. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.

AB The Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) spacecraft is designed to characterize the exospheric dust environment using an on-board suite of specialized sensors. The objective of this paper is to present results from scattering experiments using an aqueous suspension of lunar simulants that contains a population of dust grains ranging in size from similar to 0.1 pm to 10 pm. The intensity of scattered light is measured with a commercial version of the ultraviolet-visible spectrometer (UVS) used in the LADEE mission. We show that our data is consistent with the fact that micron-sized particles tend to form agglomerates rather than remaining isolated entities and that certain characteristics of the target particles can be predicted from intensity measurements alone. These results can be used directly to assess general features of the lunar exosphere. Further analysis of particle properties from such remote sensing data will require more refined measurements such as polarization features or other components of the Stokes vector.

AB Sequential fractionation of AFEX-pretreated corn stover extracts was carried out using ultra-centrifugation, ultra-filtration, and solid phase extraction to isolate various classes of pretreatment products to evaluate their inhibitory effect on cellulases. Ultra-centrifugation removed dark brown precipitates that caused no appreciable enzyme inhibition. Ultra-filtration of ultra-centrifuged AFEX-pretreated corn stover extractives using a 10 kDa molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) membrane removed additional high molecular weight components that accounted for 24-28% of the total observed enzyme inhibition while a 3 kDa MWCO membrane removed 60-65%, suggesting significant inhibition is caused by oligomeric materials. Solid phase extraction (SPE) of AFEX-pretreated corn stover extractives after ultra-centrifugation removed 34-43% of the inhibition; ultra-filtration with a 5 kDa membrane removed 44-56% of the inhibition and when this ultra-filtrate was subjected to SPE a total of 69-70% of the inhibition were removed. Mass spectrometry found several phenolic compounds among the hydrophobic inhibition removed by SPE adsorption. (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB This work addresses a reliable in situ transesterification process which integrates lipid extraction from wet microalgae, and its conversion to biodiesel, with a yield higher than 90 wt.%. This process enables single-step production of biodiesel from microalgae by mixing wet microalgal cells with solvent, methanol, and acid catalyst; and then heating them in one pot. The effects of reaction parameters such as reaction temperature, wet cell weight, reaction time, and catalyst volume on the conversion yield are investigated. This simultaneous extraction and transesterification of wet microalgae may enable a significant reduction in energy consumption by eliminating the drying process of algal cells and realize the economic production of biodiesel using wet microalgae.

AB Numerical dispersion, or what is often referred to as the pollution effect, presents a challenge to an efficient finite element discretization of the Helmholtz equation in the medium frequency regime. To alleviate this effect and improve the unsatisfactory pre-asymptotic convergence of the classical Galerkin finite element method based on piecewise polynomial basis functions, several discretization methods based on plane wave bases have been proposed. Among them is the discontinuous enrichment method that has been shown to offer superior performance to the classical Galerkin finite element method for a number of constant wavenumber Helmholtz problems and has also outperformed two representative methods that use plane waves the partition of unity and the ultra-weak variation formulation methods. In this paper, the discontinuous enrichment method is extended to the variable wavenumber Helmholtz equation. To this effect, the concept of enrichment functions based on free-space solutions of the homogeneous form of the governing differential equation is enlarged to include free-space solutions of approximations of this equation obtained in this case by successive Taylor series expansions of the wavenumber around a reference point. This leads to plane wave enrichment functions based on the piece-wise constant approximation of the wavenumber, and to Airy wave enrichment functions. Several elements based on these enrichment functions are constructed and evaluated on benchmark problems modeling sound-hard scattering by a disk submerged in an acoustic fluid where the speed of sound varies in space. All these elements are shown to outperform by a substantial margin their continuous polynomial counterparts. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB We investigate a finite element method for frictional sliding along embedded interfaces within a weighted Nitsche framework. For such problems, the proposed Nitsche stabilized approach combines the attractive features of two traditionally used approaches: viz, penalty methods and augmented Lagrange multiplier methods. In contrast to an augmented Lagrange multiplier method, the proposed approach is primal; this allows us to eliminate an outer augmentation loop as well as additional degrees of freedom. At the same time, in contrast to the penalty method, the proposed method is variationally consistent; this results in a stronger enforcement of the non-interpenetrability constraint. The method parameter arising in the proposed stabilized formulation is defined analytically, for lower order elements, through numerical analysis. This provides the proposed approach with greater robustness over both traditional penalty and augmented Lagrangian frameworks. Through this analytical estimate, we also demonstrate that the proposed choice of weights, in the weighted Nitsche framework, is indeed the optimal one. We validate the proposed approach through several benchmark numerical experiments. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Neural degenerative diseases and traumatic injuries affect millions of people worldwide, motivating the development of neural prosthetic interfaces to restore sensory or motor function in affected individuals. Advances in neural sensing and stimulation interface technology will allow a more comprehensive understanding of neural function while leading to the development of hybrid biological-electronic sensor devices for robust, functioning neural prosthetic systems. Current techniques of neural activity sensing and stimulation employ multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) that typically incorporate metal electrodes and measure or apply currents via an electrochemical junction, leading to corrosion and charge transfer across the electrode-tissue interface. High-density neural interface technology will require active circuitry within the implant; the device must withstand corrosion and induce minimal damage at the electrode/tissue interface. The work shown here demonstrates a prototype neural interface device based on capacitive coupling through hafnium oxide encapsulation of a novel 3D device architecture, advancing neural sensing technology toward long-term implantable neural interfaces.

AB The effect of bicarbonate on biodegradation of pure magnesium in a simulated body fluid is investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results show that magnesium biodegrades rapidly and non-uniformly during 27 h of immersion in four simulated body fluid solutions containing different concentrations of bicarbonate. The biodegradation rate first decreases and then increases with time. A small amount of bicarbonate in simulated body fluid has an inhibition effect on the Mg dissolution, while an overdose of bicarbonate addition activates the magnesium surface in the simulated body fluid. The interesting phenomena can be interpreted by a surface film model involving precipitation of calcium carbonate and further ionization of bicarbonate in the simulated body fluids, incorporation of calcium, carbonate and phosphate compounds in the surface film, and development of chloride-induced pitting corrosion damage on the magnesium with time.

AB A key issue in the commercialization of dye-sensitized solar cells is to maintain high efficiency and long lifetime. As reported in the literature, dye-sensitized solar cells are stable under visible light soaking but thermal stress and UV exposure lead to efficiency degradation. However, all the stability studies published so far have been performed on cells whose TiO2 electrodes were prepared by tape casting or screen printing of nanoparticle pastes/inks. The present study concerns cells based on highly porous templated TiO2 electrodes, whose larger surface area could enhance the negative effects of thermal stress, light soaking and UV exposure. The long-term stability of these cells is compared with a classical nanoparticle-based cell using current-voltage measurements (I-V curves) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Due to their higher active interface, templated cells are more sensitive than nanoparticle cells to UV illumination, although this can be easily solved in both cases by the use of a UV filter. The templated cells are as stable as the nanoparticle cells under visible light soaking (UV filtered). However, we showed that templated cells are more stable under thermal stress. Moreover, as evidenced by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, templated cells show lower transfer resistance, as well as lower recombination resistance compared to nanoparticle cells. The crystallite connectivity promoted by the templating route seems to favor the electron transfers inside the porous layer. Using templated films in dye-sensitized solar cells is therefore really promising because higher conversion efficiencies are reached without promoting cell degradation. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies revealed two reduction waves corresponding to the conversion of uranium(VI) to uranium(IV), and a mechanism for the overall electroreduction is proposed. A controlled-potential experiment was performed, holding the reduction potential at-1.0V for 24h to obtain a brown-black deposit of UO2 on the Pt cathode. The Faradaic efficiency of the reduction process was determined to be >80%. The UO2 deposit was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

AB The large scale penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) will introduce technical challenges to the distribution grid, but also carries the potential for vehicle-to-grid services. Namely, if available in large enough numbers, EVs can be used as a distributed energy resource (DER) and their presence can influence optimal DER investment and scheduling decisions in microgrids. In this work, a novel EV fleet aggregator model is introduced in a stochastic formulation of DER-CAM [1], an optimization tool used to address DER investment and scheduling problems. This is used to assess the impact of EV interconnections on optimal DER solutions considering uncertainty in EV driving schedules. Optimization results indicate that EVs can have a significant impact on DER investments, particularly if considering short payback periods. Furthermore, results suggest that uncertainty in driving schedules carries little significance to total energy costs, which is corroborated by results obtained using the stochastic formulation of the problem.

AB Decarbonizing transport will be necessary to limit global warming below 2 degrees C. Due to persistent reliance on fossil fuels, it is posited that transport is more difficult to decarbonize than other sectors. To test this hypothesis, we compare long-term transport energy demand and emission projections for China, USA and the world from five large-scale energy-economy models. We diagnose the model's characteristics by subjecting them to three climate policies. We systematically analyze mitigation levers along the chain of causality from mobility to emissions, finding that some models lack relevant mitigation options. We partially confirm that transport is less reactive to a given carbon tax than the non-transport sectors: in the first half of the century, transport mitigation is delayed by 10-30 years compared to non-transport mitigation. At high carbon prices towards the end of the century, however, the three global models achieve deep transport emission reductions by >90% through the use of advanced vehicle technologies and low-carbon primary energy; especially biomass with CCS (carbon capture and sequestration) plays a crucial role. The extent to which earlier mitigation is possible strongly depends on implemented technologies and model structure. Compared to the global models, the two partial-equilibrium models are less flexible in their reaction to climate policies. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy demonstrates that the hole at the Cu site for the CuO is localized in 3d(x2-y2) orbital unlike the well-studied monoclinic CuO phase. The experimental confirmation of the tetragonal structure of CuO opens up new avenues to explore electronic and magnetic properties of six-fold coordinated Cu. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2014

AB The multiscale dynamics of complex oxides is illustrated by pairs of mechanical resonances that are excited in the relaxor ferroelectric K1-xLixTaO3 (KLT). These macroscopic resonances are shown to originate in the collective dynamics of piezoelectric polar nanodomains (PNDs) interacting with the surrounding lattice. Their characteristic Fano lineshapes and rapid evolution with temperature reveal the coherent interplay between the piezoelectric oscillations and orientational relaxations of the PNDs at higher temperature and the contribution of heterophase oscillations near the phase transition. A theoretical model is presented, that describes the evolution of the resonances over the entire temperature range. Similar resonances are observed in other relaxors and must therefore be a common characteristics of these systems. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2014

AB To extend geographical coverage, refine spatial resolution, and improve modeling efficiency, a computation and data-intensive effort was conducted to organize a comprehensive hydrologic data set with post-calibrated model parameters for hydro-climate impact assessment. Several key inputs for hydrologic simulation - including meteorologic forcings, soil, land class, vegetation, and elevation - were collected from multiple best-available data sources and organized for 2107 hydrologic subbasins (8-digit hydrologic units, HUC8s) in the conterminous US at refined 1/24 degrees (similar to 4 km) spatial resolution. Using high-performance computing for intensive model calibration, a high-resolution parameter data set was prepared for the macro-scale variable infiltration capacity (VIC) hydrologic model. The VIC simulation was driven by Daymet daily meteorological forcing and was calibrated against US Geological Survey (USGS) WaterWatch monthly runoff observations for each HUC8. The results showed that this new parameter data set may help reasonably simulate runoff at most US HUC8 subbasins. Based on this exhaustive calibration effort, it is now possible to accurately estimate the resources required for further model improvement across the entire conterminous US. We anticipate that through this hydrologic parameter data set, the repeated effort of fundamental data processing can be lessened, so that research efforts can emphasize the more challenging task of assessing climate change impacts. The pre-organized model parameter data set will be provided to interested parties to support further hydro-climate impact assessment.

AB Rechargeable magnesium (Mg) batteries are attractive energy storage systems that could yield cost-effective energy solutions. Currently, however, no practical cathode current collector that can withstand more than 2.0 V in Mg2+ electrolytes has been identified; this greatly hinders cathode research. Here we identified that molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W) are electrochemically stable (>2.8 V) through formation of passive surface layers. The presented results could have a significant impact on the development of high voltage Mg batteries.

AB A free-standing and binder-free electrode, which consists of a 3-D conductive scaffold and conformal TiO2 nanorods, is synthesized by using an interconnected CNT film as a nanoreactor. Such a conformal 3-D nanostructure can not only provide the electrodes with fast charge transportation and long-term structural integrity, but also eliminate the heavy metal current collector, polymer binder and conductive additive. The conformal CNT-TiO2 anode demonstrates exceptional electrochemical properties with high capacity, high rate capability and excellent cycling stability. It shows a charge capacity of 129 mA h g(-1) after 1000 cycles at 10 C with a low capacity fade of 0.007% per cycle in a half cell. Meanwhile, the CNT-TiO2/LiFePO4 full cell exhibits superior capacity retention with a high Coulombic efficiency of approximately 100% during 400 cycles at 2 C. Such a 3-D conformal nanostructure is promising for application in high-performance energy storage.

AB The scientific community has focused on the problem of inexpensive, safe, and sustainable large-scale electrical energy storage, which is needed for a number of emerging societal reasons such as stabilizing intermittent renewables-based generation like solar and wind power. The materials used for large-scale storage will need to be low cost, earth-abundant, and safe at the desired scale. The Zn-MnO2 "alkaline" battery chemistry is associated with one-time use, despite being rechargeable. This is due to material irreversibilities that can be triggered in either the anode or cathode. However, as Zn and MnO2 have high energy density and low cost, they are economically attractive even at limited depth of discharge. As received, a standard bobbin-type alkaline cell costs roughly $20 per kW h. The U. S. Department of Energy ARPA-E $100 per kW h cost target for grid storage is thus close to the cost of alkaline consumer primary cells if re-engineered and/or cycled at 5-20% nominal capacity. Herein we use a deeply-penetrating in situ technique to observe ZnO precipitation near the separator in an alkaline cell anode cycled at 5% DOD, which is consistent with cell failures observed at high cycle life. Alkaline cells designed to avoid such causes of cell failure could serve as a low-cost baseload for large-scale storage.

ID YTTRIA-STABILIZED ZIRCONIA; OXYGEN-ION TRANSPORT; ACTIVATION-ENERGY;

AB Strain has been proposed as a potential tool to increase the oxygen ion conduction in oxides. Here we study by means of molecular dynamics simulations the influence of isotropic and biaxial strain on the proton conductivity of yttrium-doped barium zirconate to examine whether a similar influence occurs for hydrogen diffusion. Compressive isotropic pressure is indeed shown to favour proton diffusion by diminishing the oxygen-oxygen distance without affecting the symmetry. For moderate biaxial strain, a similar effect is observed i.e. a slight increase of proton conductivity occurs under compressive strain. High biaxial compressive/negative strain leads to a decrease in proton diffusion by inducing a symmetry breaking that results in a strong localisation of protons away from the B cations. The results are discussed and compared with previous DFT calculations and experimental results.

A morphologic examination of the composites demonstrated a good connection of the homogeneous primary particles about 50 nm in diameter and the different additive materials, especially when adding LiMn1.9Ga0.1O4 and Al2O3. The nature of the additives was confirmed by XPS and magnetic measurements. The electrochemical study revealed that LiMn1.9Ga0.1O4 is a suitable complement to LiMn1.95Si0.05O4. Due to the similar transport properties, the concurrence of both differently substituted spinels in the electrode material has a synergistic effect favoring the electrochemical response of the cathode composite.

TI Energy and charge transfer by donor-acceptor pairs confined in a

AB Molecular organization of donor-acceptor pairs within a metal-organic framework (MOF) offers a new approach to improving energy and charge transfer at donor-acceptor interfaces. Here, the photo-physical effects of infiltrating MOF-177 (ZnO4(BTB)(2); BTB = 1,3,5-benzenetribenzoate) with alpha,omega-dihexylsexithiophene (DH6T) and [6,6]-phenyl-C-61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), representing well-established polymeric and molecular materials used in organic photovoltaics, were probed using UV-visible absorption and luminescence spectroscopies combined with first-principles electronic structure calculations. The energetics of guest molecule infiltration were determined by constructing potential energy curves from self-consistent charge density-functional tight-binding (SCC-DFTB) calculations. These reveal that infiltration is energetically favored and that DH6T and PCBM are strongly bound to MOF-177 by 55 kcal mol(-1) and 57 kcal mol(-1), respectively. Solution-phase infiltration with PCBM achieved a 22 wt% loading, comparable to those in bulk heterojunction solar cells, but without evidence of phase segregation. DH6T loadings were very light (maximum of similar to 1 molecule per 11 unit cells), but this was sufficient to produce significant quenching of the MOF-177 photoluminescence (PL). The coincident appearance of DH6T PL demonstrates that efficient Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the MOF-177 linkers to DH6T occurs. These results show that the MOF is a multifunctional host that not only confines and stabilizes guest molecules, but also plays an active role, serving as a photon antenna that harvests light not efficiently absorbed by a donor molecule (DH6T in this case) and transferring it to guest acceptor molecules. Finally, time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) predicts the existence of linker-to-PCBM charge transfer states, suggesting that photoconductivity might be achievable in an appropriately designed guest@MOF system.

AB Rechargeable Mg batteries have been regarded as a viable battery technology for grid scale energy storage and transportation applications. However, the limited performance of Mg2+ electrolytes has been a primary technical hurdle to develop high energy density rechargeable Mg batteries. In this study, MgCl2 is demonstrated as a non-nucleophilic and cheap Mg2+ source in combination with Al Lewis acids (AlCl3, AlPh3 and AlEtCl2) to formulate a series of Mg2+ electrolytes, representing the simplest method to prepare Mg2+ conductive electrolytes (no precursor synthesis, free of recrystallization and giving quantitative yield). These electrolytes are characterized by high oxidation stability (up to 3.4 V vs. Mg), improved electrophile compatibility and electrochemical reversibility (up to 100% coulombic efficiency). Three electrolyte systems (MgCl2-AlCl3, MgCl2-AlPh3, and MgCl2-AlEtCl2) were fully characterized by multinuclear NMR (H-1, Al-27{H-1} and Mg-25{H-1}) spectroscopies and electrochemical analysis. Single crystal X-ray diffraction and NMR studies consistently established molecular structures of the three electrolytes sharing a common Mg2+-dimer mono-cation, [(mu-Cl)(3)Mg-2(THF)(6)](+), along with an anion (AlCl4-, AlPh3Cl- and AlEtCl3- respectively). Clean and dendrite free Mg bulk plating and viable battery performance were validated through representative studies using the MgCl2-AlEtCl2 electrolyte. The reaction mechanism of MgCl2 and the Al Lewis acids in THF is discussed to highlight the formation of the electrochemically active [(mu-Cl)(3)Mg-2(THF)(6)](+) dimer mono-cation in these electrolytes and their improved performance compared to reported electrolytes using nucleophilic Mg2+ sources.

Localized plasmon-like modes and guided mode resonances are detected in the reflectivity spectrum of a photonic crystal slab irradiated with out-of-plane incident radiation. The strong confinement of the radiation, in addition to the field enhancement, make photonic crystals a very appealing alternative to plasmonic substrates, avoiding the limits of absorption losses in metals.

AB In recent years, reducing friction and wear-related mechanical failures in moving mechanical systems has gained increased attention due to friction's adverse impacts on efficiency, durability, and environmental compatibility. Accordingly, the search continues for novel materials, coatings, and lubricants (both liquid and solid) that can potentially reduce friction and wear. Despite intense R&D efforts on graphene for a myriad of existing and future applications, its tribological potential as a lubricant remains relatively unexplored. In this review, we provide an up-to-date survey of recent tribological studies based on graphene from the nano-scale to macro-scale, in particular, its use as a self-lubricating solid or as an additive for lubricating oils.

AB In-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is used to directly observe twin evolution in Mg under tension and compression. Twins grow during tensile loading. Upon load reversal, the first-generation twin detwins by nucleation and growth of a second-generation twin within its volume. This mechanism for detwinning is different from the more traditional mechanism of detwinning by reverse motion of a twin boundary. Reloading in tension causes the second-generation twin to recede, leaving behind residual features. In compression, the second-generation twin re-nucleates in the area of this debris, and grows. Interactions between dislocations and twin boundaries change the character of the observed dislocations. Direct observation of such behavior aids in clearer understanding of the observed microstructures from post-mortem TEM.

AB The Advanced Photon Source is developing a suite of new X-ray beamlines to study materials and devices across many length scales and under real conditions. One of the flagship beamlines of the APS upgrade is the In Situ Nanoprobe (ISN) beamline, which will provide in situ and operando characterization of advanced energy materials and devices under varying temperatures, gas ambients, and applied fields, at previously unavailable spatial resolution and throughput. Examples of materials systems include inorganic and organic photovoltaic systems, advanced battery systems, fuel cell components, nanoelectronic devices, advanced building materials and other scientifically and technologically relevant systems. To characterize these systems at very high spatial resolution and trace sensitivity, the ISN will use both nanofocusing mirrors and diffractive optics to achieve spots sizes as small as 20 nm. Nanofocusing mirrors in Kirkpatrick-Baez geometry will provide several orders of magnitude increase in photon flux at a spatial resolution of 50 nm. Diffractive optics such as zone plates and/or multilayer Laue lenses will provide a highest spatial resolution of 20 nm. Coherent diffraction methods will be used to study even small specimen features with sub-10 nm relevant length scale. A high-throughput data acquisition system will be employed to significantly increase operations efficiency and usability of the instrument. The ISN will provide full spectroscopy capabilities to study the chemical state of most materials in the periodic table, and enable X-ray fluorescence tomography. In situ electrical characterization will enable operando studies of energy and electronicdevices such as photovoltaic systems and batteries. We describe the optical concept for the ISN beamline, the technical design, and the approach for enabling a broad variety of in situ studies.

AB Multilayered steel composites consisting of alternating martensite and austenite layers and exhibiting a combination of high strength and ductility were successfully fabricated. To understand the microplasticity mechanisms responsible for such exceptional mechanical behavior, 3D X-ray microscopy with a submicron beam size was employed to probe the stress/strain distribution within the top two layers during incremental tensile loading. The 3D depth-dependent strain gradients were monitored in situ near the martensite/austenite interfaces as a function of the load level. It was observed that the strain gradients redistributed during loading. Specifically, large compressive strains developed in the top martensite layer transverse to the loading direction, while small tensile strains were found across the layer interface into the underneath austenite layer.

AB A small tensile specimen of grade 1 commercially pure titanium was deformed to a few percent strain with concurrent synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements to identify subsurface {10 (1) over bar2} twin nucleation events. This sample was from the same piece of material in which a prior study showed that twin nucleation stimulated by slip transfer across a grain boundary accounted for many instances of twin nucleation. The sample had a strong c-axis texture of about eight times random aligned with the tensile axis. After similar to 1.5 pct tensile strain, three twin nucleation events were observed in grains where the c-axis was nearly parallel to the tensile direction. Far-field 3-D X-ray diffraction data were analyzed to obtain the positional center of mass, the average lattice strain, and stress tensors in each grain and twin. In one case where the parent grain was mostly surrounded by hard grain orientations, the twin system with the highest resolved shear stress (RSS) among the six {10 (1) over bar2} twin variants was activated and the stress in the parent grain decreased after twin nucleation. In two other parent grains with a majority of softer neighboring grain orientations, the observed twins did not occur on the twin system with the highest RSS. Their nucleation could be geometrically attributed to slip transfer from neighboring grains with geometrically favorable < a > basal slip systems, and the stress in the parent grain increased after twin nucleation. In all three twin events, the stress in the twin was 10 to 30 pct lower than the stress in the parent grain, indicating load partitioning between the hard-oriented parent grain and the soft-oriented twin.

AB High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are characterized not only by high values of entropy but also by high atomic-level stresses originating from mixing of elements with different atomic sizes. Particle irradiation on solids produces atomic displacements and thermal spikes. The high atomic-level stresses in HEAs facilitate amorphization upon particle irradiation, followed by local melting and re-crystallization due to thermal spikes. We speculate that this process will leave much less defects in HEAs than in conventional alloys. For this reason, they may be excellent candidates as new nuclear materials. We discuss initial results of computer simulation on model binary alloys and an electron microscopy study on Zr-Hf-Nb alloys, which demonstrate extremely high irradiation resistance of these alloys against electron damage to support this speculation.

AB We study the clustering of galaxies, as a function of their colour, from Data Release Ten (DR10) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. DR10 contains 540 505 galaxies with 0.43 < z < 0.7; from these we select 122 967 for a 'Blue' sample and 131 969 for a 'Red' sample based on k+e corrected (to z = 0.55) r-i colours and i-band magnitudes. The samples are chosen such that both contain more than 100 000 galaxies, have similar redshift distributions and maximize the difference in clustering amplitude. The Red sample has a 40 per cent larger bias than the Blue (b(Red)/b(Blue) = 1.39 +/- 0.04), implying that the Red galaxies occupy dark matter haloes with an average mass that is 0.5 log(10) M-circle dot greater. Spherically averaged measurements of the correlation function,. 0, and the power spectrum are used to locate the position of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature of both samples. Using xi(0), we obtain distance scales, relative to the distance of our reference Lambda cold dark matter cosmology, of 1.010 +/- 0.027 for the Red sample and 1.005 +/- 0.031 for the Blue. After applying reconstruction, these measurements improve to 1.013 +/- 0.020 for the Red sample and 1.008 +/- 0.026 for the Blue. For each sample, measurements of xi(0) and the second multipole moment, xi(2), of the anisotropic correlation function are used to determine the rate of structure growth, parametrized by f sigma(8). We find f sigma(8,Red) = 0.511 +/- 0.083, f sigma(8,Blue) = 0.509 +/- 0.085 and f sigma(8, Cross) = 0.423 +/- 0.061 (from the cross-correlation between the Red and Blue samples). We use the covariance between the bias and growth measurements obtained from each sample and their cross-correlation to produce an optimally combined measurement of f sigma(8,comb) = 0.443 +/- 0.055. This result compares favourably to that of the full 0.43 < z < 0.7 sample (f sigma(8,full) = 0.422 +/- 0.051) despite the fact that, in total, we use less than half of the number of galaxies analysed in the full sample measurement. In no instance do we detect significant differences in distance scale or structure growth measurements obtained from the Blue and Red samples. Our results are consistent with theoretical predictions and our tests on mock samples, which predict that any colour-dependent systematic uncertainty on the measured BAO position is less than 0.5 per cent.

AB With a combination of adaptive optics imaging and a multi-epoch common proper motion search, we have conducted a large volume-limited (D <= 75 pc) multiplicity survey of A-type stars, sensitive to companions beyond 30 au. The sample for the Volume-limited A-STar (VAST) survey consists of 435 A-type stars: 363 stars were observed with adaptive optics, 228 stars were searched for wide common proper motion companions and 156 stars were measured with both techniques. The projected separation coverage of the VAST survey extends from 30 to 45 000 au. A total of 137 stellar companions were resolved, including 64 new detections from the VAST survey, and the companion star fraction, projected separation distribution and mass ratio distribution were measured. The separation distribution forms a log-normal distribution similar to the solar-type binary distribution, but with a peak shifted to a significantly wider value of 387(-98)(+132) au. Integrating the fit to the distribution over the 30 to 10 000 au observed range, the companion star fraction for A-type stars is estimated as 33.8 +/- 2.6 per cent. The mass ratio distribution of closer (< 125 au) binaries is distinct from that of wider systems, with a flat distribution for close systems and a distribution that tends towards smaller mass ratios for wider binaries. Combining this result with previous spectroscopic surveys of A-type stars gives an estimate of the total companion star fraction of 68.9 +/- 7.0 per cent. The most complete assessment of higher order multiples was estimated from the 156 star subset of the VAST sample with both adaptive optics and common proper motion measurements, combined with a thorough literature search for companions, yielding a lower limit on the frequency of single, binary, triple, quadruple and quintuple A-type star systems of 56.4(-4.0)(+3.8), 32.1(-3.5)(+3.9), 9.0(-1.8)(+2.8), 1.9(-0.6)(+1.8) and 0.6(-0.2)(+1.4) per cent, respectively.

For a subset of 56 clusters, we also provide photometry in r' and i'. We carry out comparisons with previous photometry as well as with the SDSS data set. The data will be useful for a series of applications in Galactic and extragalactic astrophysics. Future papers will analyse the colour-metallicity relation, colour-magnitude diagrams and structural parameters. The compilation of results based on this data set will be collected in the Galactic Globular Cluster Catalog (G2C2).

AB We use our integrated Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometry for 96 globular clusters in g and z, as well as r and i photometry for a subset of 56 clusters, to derive the integrated colour-metallicity relation (CMR) for Galactic globular clusters. We compare this relation to previous work, including extragalactic clusters, and examine the influence of age, present-day mass function variations, structural parameters and the morphology of the horizontal branch on the relation. Moreover, we scrutinize the scatter introduced by foreground extinction (including differential reddening) and show that the scatter in the CMR can be significantly reduced combining two reddening laws from the literature. In all CMRs, we find some low-reddening young GCs that are offset to the CMR. Most of these outliers are associated with the Sagittarius system. Simulations show that this is due to less age than to a different enrichment history. Finally, we introduce CMRs based on the infrared calcium triplet, which are clearly non-linear when compared to (g' - i') and (g' - z') colours.

AB It has been more than a decade since the experimental demonstration that the thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes can exceed that of diamond, which has the highest thermal conductivity among naturally occurring materials. In spite of tremendous promise as a thermal material, results have been disappointing for practical thermal systems and applications based on nanotubes. The main culprit for the dramatic shortfall in the performance of nanotubes in practical systems is high thermal interface resistance between them and other components because of weak adhesion at the interface. Here we report a sixfold reduction in the thermal interface resistance between metal surfaces and vertically aligned multiwall carbon nanotube arrays by bridging the interface with short, covalently bonded organic molecules. These results are also significant for single and multilayer graphene applications, since graphene faces similar limitations in practical systems.

TI Garnet nuclear waste forms - Solubility at repository conditions
SO NUCLEAR ENGINEERING AND DESIGN
LA English
DT Article
ID IRRADIATION; CM-244; DECAY
AB Radioactive rare-earth elements (REEs) constitute a significant waste stream produced from modified open and full nuclear fuel cycles. Immobilization of these REE radionuclides is thus important for sustainable nuclear energy growth. In this work, we investigated the suitability of garnets as potential waste forms for REEs by measuring their aqueous stability at repository conditions. Three garnet samples, including one natural grossular (Ca3Al2Si3O12) and two synthetic phases (LuAG - Lu3Al5O12 and YAG - Y3Al5O12), were studied. Single-crystal X-ray structural refinements show that the unit-cell volumes increase from 1657.19 angstrom(3) for grossular to 1679.8 angstrom(3) for LuAG and to 1721.7 angstrom(3) for YAG. This trend is due to increases in ionic radii in both the 8-coordinated X (from Ca to Lu to Y) and 4-coordinated Z (from Si to Al) cations. Hydrothermal experiments of the three samples were performed at 200 degrees C and 150 bar for 4 weeks using water and brine solutions to evaluate their solubility. The natural grossular sample exhibited Al leach rates ranging from 2.5 x 10(-4) to 6.43 x 10(-5) g/L.day and Ca leach rates from 1.39 x 10(-3) to 4.57 x 10(-3) g/L.day, indicating incongruent nature of the cation dissolution. The LuAG sample exhibited Lu leach rates of 3.73 x 10(-4) to 2.19 x 10(-4) g/L.day, and the YAG sample had Y leach rates of 1.29 x 10(-4) to 5.64 x 10(-5) g/L.day. Although these samples are generally more soluble in brine (which is more representative of repository conditions) than in water, as evidenced by both water chemistry and microstructural features, all the dissolution rates are relatively small. Thus, the high aqueous stability, together with the flexibility of the garnet structure to incorporate large cations, demonstrate that garnets are potentially robust waste forms for storing radioactive REEs.

AB Transfer RNA (tRNA) methylation is necessary for the proper biological function of tRNA. The N-1 methylation of guanine at Position 9 (m(1)G9) of tRNA, which is widely identified in eukaryotes and archaea, was found to be catalyzed by the Trm10 family of methyltransferases (MTases). Here, we report the first crystal structures of the tRNA MTase spTrm10 from Schizosaccharomyces pombe in the presence and absence of its methyl donor product S-adenosyl-homocysteine (SAH) and its ortholog scTrm10 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae in complex with SAH. Our crystal structures indicated that the MTase domain (the catalytic domain) of the Trm10 family displays a typical SpoU-TrmD (SPOUT) fold. Furthermore, small angle X-ray scattering analysis reveals that Trm10 behaves as a monomer in solution, whereas other members of the SPOUT superfamily all function as homodimers. We also performed tRNA MTase assays and isothermal titration calorimetry experiments to investigate the catalytic mechanism of Trm10 in vitro. In combination with mutational analysis and electrophoretic mobility shift assays, our results provide insights into the substrate tRNA recognition mechanism of Trm10 family MTases.

AB The Hop2-Mnd1 complex functions with the DMC1 recombinase in meiotic recombination. Hop2-Mnd1 stabilizes the DMC1-single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) filament and promotes the capture of the double-stranded DNA partner by the recombinase filament to assemble the synaptic complex. Herein, we define the action mechanism of Hop2-Mnd1 in DMC1-mediated recombination. Small angle X-ray scattering analysis and electron microscopy reveal that the heterodimeric Hop2-Mnd1 is a V-shaped molecule. We show that the protein complex harbors three distinct DNA binding sites, and determine their functional relevance. Specifically, the N-terminal double-stranded DNA binding functions of Hop2 and Mnd1 co-operate to mediate synaptic complex assembly, whereas ssDNA binding by the Hop2 C-terminus helps stabilize the DMC1-ssDNA filament. A model of the Hop2-Mnd1-DMC1-ssDNA ensemble is proposed to explain how it mediates homologous DNA pairing in meiotic recombination.

MECHANISM
AB In many bacteria and archaea, small RNAs derived from clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) associate with CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins to target foreign DNA for destruction. In Type I and III CRISPR/Cas systems, the Cas6 family of endoribonucleases generates functional CRISPR-derived RNAs by site-specific cleavage of repeat sequences in precursor transcripts. CRISPR repeats differ widely in both sequence and structure, with varying propensity to form hairpin folds immediately preceding the cleavage site. To investigate the evolution of distinct mechanisms for the recognition of diverse CRISPR repeats by Cas6 enzymes, we determined crystal structures of two Thermus thermophilus Cas6 enzymes both alone and bound to substrate and product RNAs. These structures show how the scaffold common to all Cas6 endonucleases has evolved two binding sites with distinct modes of RNA recognition: one specific for a hairpin fold and the other for a single-stranded 5'-terminal segment preceding the hairpin. These findings explain how divergent Cas6 enzymes have emerged to mediate highly selective pre-CRISPR-derived RNA processing across diverse CRISPR systems.

AB Ribosomal Database Project (RDP; http://rdp.cme.msu.edu/) provides the research community with aligned and annotated rRNA gene sequence data, along with tools to allow researchers to analyze their own rRNA gene sequences in the RDP framework. RDP data and tools are utilized in fields as diverse as human health, microbial ecology, environmental microbiology, nucleic acid chemistry, taxonomy and phylogenetics. In addition to aligned and annotated collections of bacterial and archaeal small subunit rRNA genes, RDP now includes a collection of fungal large subunit rRNA genes. RDP tools, including Classifier and Aligner, have been updated to work with this new fungal collection. The use of high-throughput sequencing to characterize environmental microbial populations has exploded in the past several years, and as sequence technologies have improved, the sizes of environmental datasets have increased. With release 11, RDP is providing an expanded set of tools to facilitate analysis of high-throughput data, including both single-stranded and paired-end reads. In addition, most tools are now available as open source packages for download and local use by researchers with high-volume needs or who would like to develop custom analysis pipelines.

TI SCOPe: Structural Classification of Proteins-extended, integrating SCOP
and ASTRAL data and classification of new structures
SO NUCLEIC ACIDS RESEARCH
LA English
DT Article
ID COMPENDIUM; ASSIGNMENT; SEQUENCES; GENOMICS
AB Structural Classification of Proteins-extended (SCOPe, http://scop.berkeley.edu) is a database of protein structural relationships that extends the SCOP database. SCOP is a manually curated ordering of domains from the majority of proteins of known structure in a hierarchy according to structural and evolutionary relationships. Development of the SCOP 1.x series concluded with SCOP 1.75. The ASTRAL compendium provides several databases and tools to aid in the analysis of the protein structures classified in SCOP, particularly through the use of their sequences. SCOPe extends version 1.75 of the SCOP database, using automated curation methods to classify many structures released since SCOP 1.75. We have rigorously benchmarked our automated methods to ensure that they are as accurate as manual curation, though there are many proteins to which our methods cannot be applied. SCOPe is also partially manually curated to correct some errors in SCOP. SCOPe aims to be backward compatible with SCOP, providing the same parseable files and a history of changes between all stable SCOP and SCOPe releases. SCOPe also incorporates and updates the ASTRAL database. The latest release of SCOPe, 2.03, contains 59 514 Protein Data Bank (PDB) entries, increasing the number of structures classified in SCOP by 55% and including more than 65% of the protein structures in the PDB.

AB The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) project, available at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org, provides a structured, comprehensive and well-defined set of 10,088 classes (terms) describing human phenotypic abnormalities and 13,326 subclass relations between the HPO classes. In addition we have developed logical definitions for 46% of all HPO classes using terms from ontologies for anatomy, cell types, function, embryology, pathology and other domains. This allows interoperability with several resources, especially those containing phenotype information on model organisms such as mouse and zebrafish. Here we describe the updated HPO database, which provides annotations of 7,278 human hereditary syndromes listed in OMIM, Orphanet and DECIPHER to classes of the HPO. Various meta-attributes such as frequency, references and negations are associated with each annotation. Several large-scale projects worldwide utilize the HPO for describing phenotype information in their datasets. We have therefore generated equivalence mappings to other phenotype vocabularies such as LDDB, Orphanet, MedDRA, UMLS and phenoDB, allowing integration of existing datasets and interoperability with multiple biomedical resources. We have created various ways to access the HPO database content using flat files, a MySQL database, and Web-based tools. All data and documentation on the HPO project can be found online.

AB We have recently developed a new version of the DOOR operon database, DOOR 2.0, which is available online at http://csbl.bmb.uga.edu/DOOR/ and will be updated on a regular basis. DOOR 2.0 contains genome-scale operons for 2072 prokaryotes with complete genomes, three times the number of genomes covered in the previous version published in 2009. DOOR 2.0 has a number of new features, compared with its previous version, including (i) more than 250 000 transcription units, experimentally validated or computationally predicted based on RNA-seq data, providing a dynamic functional view of the underlying operons; (ii) an integrated operon-centric data resource that provides not only operons for each covered genome but also their functional and regulatory information such as their cis-regulatory binding sites for transcription initiation and termination, gene expression levels estimated based on RNA-seq data and conservation information across multiple genomes; (iii) a high-performance web service for online operon prediction on user-provided genomic sequences; (iv) an intuitive genome browser to support visualization of user-selected data; and (v) a keyword-based Google-like search engine for finding the needed information intuitively and rapidly in this database.

AB In 2004, the SEED (http://pubseed.theseed.org/) was created to provide consistent and accurate genome annotations across thousands of genomes and as a platform for discovering and developing de novo annotations. The SEED is a constantly updated integration of genomic data with a genome database, web front end, API and server scripts. It is used by many scientists for predicting gene functions and discovering new pathways. In addition to being a powerful database for bioinformatics research, the SEED also houses subsystems (collections of functionally related protein families) and their derived FIGfams (protein families), which represent the core of the RAST annotation engine (http://rast.nmpdr.org/). When a new genome is submitted to RAST, genes are called and their annotations are made by comparison to the FIGfam collection. If the genome is made public, it is then housed within the SEED and its proteins populate the FIGfam collection. This annotation cycle has proven to be a robust and scalable solution to the problem of annotating the exponentially increasing number of genomes. To date, >12 000 users worldwide have annotated >60 000 distinct genomes using RAST. Here we describe the interconnectedness of the SEED database and RAST, the RAST annotation pipeline and updates to both resources.

AB ModBase (http://salilab.org/modbase) is a database of annotated comparative protein structure models. The models are calculated by ModPipe, an automated modeling pipeline that relies primarily on Modeller for fold assignment, sequence-structure alignment, model building and model assessment (http://salilab.org/modeller/). ModBase currently contains almost 30 million reliable models for domains in 4.7 million unique protein sequences. ModBase allows users to compute or update comparative models on demand, through an interface to the ModWeb modeling server (http://salilab.org/modweb). ModBase models are also available through the Protein Model Portal (http://www.proteinmodelportal.org/). Recently developed associated resources include the AllosMod server for modeling ligand-induced protein dynamics (http://salilab.org/allosmod), the AllosMod-FoXS server for predicting a structural ensemble that fits an SAXS profile (http://salilab.org/allosmod-foxs), the FoXSDock server for protein-protein docking filtered by an SAXS profile (http://salilab.org/foxsdock), the SAXS Merge server for automatic merging of SAXS profiles (http://salilab.org/saxsmerge) and the Pose & Rank server for scoring protein-ligand complexes (http://salilab.org/poseandrank). In this update, we also highlight two applications of ModBase: a PSI: Biology initiative to maximize the structural coverage of the human alpha-helical transmembrane proteome and a determination of structural determinants of human immunodeficiency virus-1 protease specificity.

AB The ease of generating high-throughput data has enabled investigations into organismal complexity at the systems level through the inference of networks of interactions among the various cellular components ( genes, RNAs, proteins and metabolites). The wider scientific community, however, currently has limited access to tools for network inference, visualization and analysis because these tasks often require advanced computational knowledge and expensive computing resources. We have designed the network portal (http://networks.systemsbiology.net) to serve as a modular database for the integration of user uploaded and public data, with inference algorithms and tools for the storage, visualization and analysis of biological networks. The portal is fully integrated into the Gaggle framework to seamlessly exchange data with desktop and web applications and to allow the user to create, save and modify workspaces, and it includes social networking capabilities for collaborative projects. While the current release of the database contains networks for 13 prokaryotic organisms from diverse phylogenetic clades (4678 co-regulated gene modules, 3466 regulators and 9291 cis-regulatory motifs), it will be rapidly populated with prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms as relevant data become available in public repositories and through user input. The modular architecture, simple data formats and open API support community development of the portal.

AB The Pathosystems Resource Integration Center (PATRIC) is the all-bacterial Bioinformatics Resource Center (BRC) (http://www.patricbrc.org). A joint effort by two of the original National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases-funded BRCs, PATRIC provides researchers with an online resource that stores and integrates a variety of data types [e. g. genomics, transcriptomics, protein-protein interactions (PPIs), three-dimensional protein structures and sequence typing data] and associated metadata. Datatypes are summarized for individual genomes and across taxonomic levels. All genomes in PATRIC, currently more than 10 000, are consistently annotated using RAST, the Rapid Annotations using Subsystems Technology. Summaries of different data types are also provided for individual genes, where comparisons of different annotations are available, and also include available transcriptomic data. PATRIC provides a variety of ways for researchers to find data of interest and a private workspace where they can store both genomic and gene associations, and their own private data. Both private and public data can be analyzed together using a suite of tools to perform comparative genomic or transcriptomic analysis. PATRIC also includes integrated information related to disease and PPIs. All the data and integrated analysis and visualization tools are freely available. This manuscript describes updates to the PATRIC since its initial report in the 2007 NAR Database Issue.

AB While there is a persistent interest in oxides, e.g., for semiconductor technology or optoelectronics, it seems to be difficult to achieve n-type and p-type doping for one and the same material. At the same time, it is important to understand the electronic structure for both types of doping individually. In this work, we use modern electronic-structure calculations to compute the density of states as well as effective electron and hole masses for n-type (ZnO, CdO, SnO2) and p-type (MnO, NiO) oxide materials. We establish our ab initio electronic structures by comparison to photoemission experiments at various incident photon energies. Taking into account the photoionization cross-sections, we are able to analyze the contributions of different atomic states and to verify the results by comparison to measured data. Based on these electronic structures, we calculate free-electron and free-hole masses as well as their dependence on the concentration of free carriers in the system. For SnO2, we compare with experimental results from another article (see M. Feneberg et al., Phys. Status Solidi A, DOI 10.1002/pssa.201330147 (2013) ) in this special issue.

AB We present a novel gas cell designed to study the electronic structure of gases and gas/solid interfaces using soft x-ray emission and absorption spectroscopies. In this cell, the sample gas is separated from the vacuum of the analysis chamber by a thin window membrane, allowing in situ measurements under atmospheric pressure. The temperature of the gas can be regulated from room temperature up to approximately 600 degrees C. To avoid beam damage, a constant mass flow can be maintained to continuously refresh the gaseous sample. Furthermore, the gas cell provides space for solid-state samples, allowing to study the gas/solid interface for surface catalytic reactions at elevated temperatures. To demonstrate the capabilities of the cell, we have investigated a TiO2 sample behind a mixture of N-2 and He gas at atmospheric pressure. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.

AB We present a novel experimental method for quantitatively characterizing the temperature-dependent mechanical behavior of individual nanostructures during uniaxial straining. By combining a microelectromechanical tensile testing device with a low thermal mass and digital image correlation providing nm-level displacement resolution, we show successful incorporation of a testing platform in a vacuum cryostat system with an integrated heater and temperature control. Characterization of the local sample temperature and time-dependent response at both low and high temperature demonstrates a testing range of similar to 90-475 K and steady-state drift rates less than 0.04 K/min. In situ operation of the tensile testing device employing resistively heated thermal actuators while imaging with an optical microscope enables high-resolution displacement measurements, from which stress-strain behavior of the nanoscale specimens is deduced. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach in measuring the temperature dependence of tensile strength in nominally defect-free < 110 > Pd nanowhiskers. We uncover a pronounced sensitivity of the plastic response to testing temperature over a range of similar to 300 K, with an ultimate strength in excess of 6 GPa at low temperature. The results are discussed in the context of thermally activated deformation mechanisms and defect nucleation in defect-free metallic nanostructures. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.

ID ENERGY; DISCHARGES; PARAMETER
AB We have designed and built a Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) Z-pinch device using a kJ-level capacitor bank and a hollow anode, and fueled by a cylindrically symmetric gas puff. Using this device, we have measured peak deuteron beam energies of up to 400 keV at 0.8 kJ capacitor bank energy and pinch lengths of similar to 6 mm, indicating accelerating fields greater than 50 MV/m. Neutron yields of on the order of 10(7) per shot were measured during deuterium operation. The cylindrical gas puff system permitted simultaneous operation of DPF with a radiofrequency quadrupole accelerator for beam-into-plasma experiments. This paper describes the machine design, the diagnostic systems, and our first results. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.

AB Future drag-free missions for space-based experiments in gravitational physics require a Gravitational Reference Sensor with extremely demanding sensing and disturbance reduction requirements. A configuration with two cubical sensors is the current baseline for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and has reached a high level of maturity. Nevertheless, several promising concepts have been proposed with potential applications beyond LISA and are currently investigated at HEPL, Stanford, and EADS Astrium, Germany. The general motivation is to exploit the possibility of achieving improved disturbance reduction, and ultimately understand how low acceleration noise can be pushed with a realistic design for future mission. In this paper, we discuss disturbance reduction requirements for LISA and beyond, describe four different payload concepts, compare expected strain sensitivities in the "low-frequency" region of the frequency spectrum, dominated by acceleration noise, and ultimately discuss advantages and disadvantages of each of those concepts in achieving disturbance reduction for space-based detectors beyond LISA.

ID RAY; RECONSTRUCTION; TOMOGRAPHY
AB Grating-based X-ray and neutron interferometry tomography using phase-stepping methods generates large data sets. An improved algorithm is presented for solving for the parameters to calculate transmissions, differential phase contrast, and dark-field images. The method takes advantage of the vectorization inherent in high-level languages such as Mathematica and MATLAB and can solve a 16 x 1k x 1k data set in less than a second. In addition, the algorithm can function with partial data sets. This is demonstrated with processing of a 16-step grating data set with partial use of the original data chosen without any restriction. Also, we have calculated the reduced chi-square for the fit and notice the effect of grating support structural elements upon the differential phase contrast image and have explored expanded basis set representations to mitigate the impact.

AB We present a precision, 1-A, digitally interfaced current controller for quantum cascade lasers, with demonstrated temperature coefficients for continuous and 40-kHz full-depth square-wave modulated operation, of 1-2 ppm/degrees C and 15 ppm/degrees C, respectively. High precision digital to analog converters (DACs) together with an ultra-precision voltage reference produce highly stable, precision voltages, which are selected by a multiplexer (MUX) chip to set output currents via a linear current regulator. The controller is operated in conjunction with a power multiplexing unit, allowing one of three lasers to be driven by the controller, while ensuring protection of controller and all lasers during operation, standby, and switching. Simple ASCII commands sent over a USB connection to a microprocessor located in the current controller operate both the controller (via the DACs and MUX chip) and the power multiplexer.

AB The mixed oxidation state (3+/4+) of ceria nanoparticles of smaller sizes make them attractive materials for their catalytic antioxidant biological properties. However the unmodified smaller ceria nanoparticles are limited in their use due to particles agglomeration and reduced surface chemical reactivity in the solutions used to disperse the nanoparticles. This work describes an effort to stabilize small ceria nanoparticles, retaining their desired activity, on a larger stable silica support. The ceria nanoparticles attached to silica was synthesized by a solution synthesis technique in which the surface functional groups of silica nanoparticles were found to be essential for the formation of smaller ceria nanoparticles. The surface chemical and vibrational spectroscopy analysis revealed cerium-silicate (Ce-O-Si) covalent bond linkage between silica and cerium oxide nanoparticles. The colloidal properties (agglomerate particle size and suspension stability) of ceria attached to silica was significantly improved due to inherent physico-chemical characteristics of silica against random collision and gravitation settling as opposed to unmodified ceria nanoparticles in solution. The bio-catalytic activity of ceria nanoparticles in the 3+ oxidation state was not found to be limited by attachment to the silica support as measured by free radical scavenging activity in different biological media conditions.

AB Self-propelled motion, emerging spontaneously or in response to external cues, is a hallmark of living organisms. Systems of self-propelled synthetic particles are also relevant for multiple applications, from targeted drug delivery to the design of self-healing materials. Self-propulsion relies on the force transfer to the surrounding. While self-propelled swimming in the bulk of liquids is fairly well characterized, many open questions remain in our understanding of self-propelled motion along substrates, such as in the case of crawling cells or related biomimetic objects. How is the force transfer organized and how does it interplay with the deformability of the moving object and the substrate? How do the spatially dependent traction distribution and adhesion dynamics give rise to complex cell behavior? How can we engineer a specific cell response on synthetic compliant substrates? Here we generalize our recently developed model for a crawling cell by incorporating locally resolved traction forces and substrate deformations. The model captures the generic structure of the traction force distribution and faithfully reproduces experimental observations, like the response of a cell on a gradient in substrate elasticity (durotaxis). It also exhibits complex modes of cell movement such as "bipedal" motion. Our work may guide experiments on cell traction force microscopy and substrate-based cell sorting and can be helpful for the design of biomimetic "crawlers" and active and reconfigurable self-healing materials.

AB Technological advances in sequencing technologies and bioinformatics analysis tools now enable the generation of a metagenome from soil, although the ultimate goal of obtaining the entire complement of all genes of all organisms in a given sample of soil still lies in the future. The rich information obtained from a soil metagenome will undoubtedly provide new insights into the taxonomic and functional diversity of soil microorganisms; the question is whether it will also yield greater understanding of how C, N, and other nutrients cycle in soil. The purpose of this review is to describe the steps involved in producing a soil metagenome, including some of the potential pitfalls associated with its production and annotation. Possible solutions to some of these challenges are presented. Selected examples from published soil metagenomic studies are discussed, with an emphasis on clues that they have provided about biogeochemical cycling.

AB State regulatory agencies set standards for onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS), commonly known as septic systems, based on expected hydraulic performance and nitrogen (N) treatment in soils of differing texture. In a previous study, hydraulic loading rates were proposed for four categories of soils ranging from Group I (sands) to Group IV (clays). Our objective was to use a HYDRUS model to test the hydraulic performance and N treatment for all 12 soil textural classes using 2 yr of weather data. The model simulated water, N, and temperature dynamics in a two-dimensional space surrounding a drain-field trench. It was calibrated in a previous field study on a clay soil and included water content dependent N transformations. In terms of hydraulic performance, we found that the proposed loading rates were adequate except for the sandy clay textural class in which the rate was too high and caused continuous ponding in the trench. Nitrogen treatment varied widely among soils with denitrification losses ranging from 1% in the Group-I sand to 75% in the Group-IV sandy clay, due to water content limits on denitrification. Leaching losses were inversely related to denitrifcation losses, ranging from 97% in the sand to 27% in the sandy clay. Plant uptake and soil storage accounted for 5% or less of the N losses. The shape of the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity curve and water retention curve were important in determining the prevailing pressure head in the soil and the degree to which denitrification was inhibited in the various soil classes.

AB Pore-scale simulations have received increasing interest in subsurface sciences to provide mechanistic insights into the macroscopic phenomena of fluid flow and reactive transport processes. The application of pore-scale simulations to soils and sediments is challenging, however, because of the characterization limitation that often allows only partial resolution of pore structure and geometry. A significant proportion of the pore spaces in soils and sediments is below the spatial resolution, forming a mixed medium with pore and porous regions. The objective of this research was to develop a unified multiscale model (UMSM) that can be used to simulate fluid flow and transport in mixed media containing pore and porous regions. The UMSM modifies the classic Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations by adding a Darcy term to describe fluid momentum and uses a generalized mass balance equation for saturated and unsaturated conditions. A series of simulations of water flow in pore, porous, and mixed pore and porous regions were performed to evaluate the UMSM by comparing with other numerical approaches. A water imbibition experiment was conducted in a soil column to compare theoretical predictions with experimental measurements. The results indicated that the UMSM is numerically equivalent to the N-S equations in pore regions, becomes Darcy's law in porous regions, and is equivalent to a model coupling the N-S and Darcy's law in a mixed medium containing pore and porous regions. The UMSM-simulated water imbibition also matched well with experimental measurements in the soil column, with its pore structures characterized from X-ray tomography. The UMSM approach allows direct simulation of fluid flow at the voxel resolution of characterization in realistic soils and sediments under both saturated and unsaturated conditions.

An activity-based assessment method is proposed to evaluate BEV feasibility for the heterogeneous traveling population in the real world driving context. Genetic algorithm is applied to find (sub)optimal locations for siting public charging stations. A case study using the GPS-based travel survey data collected in the greater Seattle metropolitan area shows that electric miles and trips could be significantly increased by installing public chargers at popular destinations, with a reasonable infrastructure investment.

AB As the seventh most common human malignancy, bladder cancer represents a global health problem. In addition to well-recognized risk factors such as smoking and exposure to chemicals, various infectious agents have been implicated as cofactors in the pathogenesis of urothelial malignancies. The aim of the present study was to assess the possible association of viral infection and bladder cancer in Croatian patients. Biopsy specimens were collected from a total of 55 patients diagnosed with different stages of bladder cancer. Initial screening of DNA extracts for the presence of viruses on Lawrence Livermore Microbial Detection Array revealed Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) in each of three randomly chosen biopsy specimens. The prevalence of infection with KSHV among study population was then examined by KSHV-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunoblotting. By nested PCR, KSHV DNA was detected in 55 % of patients. KSHV, also known as human herpesvirus 8, is an infectious agent known to cause cancer. Its oncogenic potential is primarily recognized from its role in Kaposi's sarcoma, but it has also been involved in pathogenesis of two lymphoproliferative disorders. A high prevalence of KSHV infection in our study indicates that KSHV may play a role in tumorigenesis of bladder cancer and warrants further studies.

AB An analytical procedure for determining the relative amounts of Co-60 and its Ni-60 daughter in a radioactive cobalt source by means of chromatographic separation and radiometric and mass spectrometric detection was developed, optimized and assessed through two round robin exercises for nuclear forensic investigations. Solid phase extraction (EXC) using Ni resin (Eichrom) and ion exchange (IEC) using Dowex-1X8 (Acros Organics) chromatographic approaches were considered for separating Co and Ni. Decontamination factors of 25 and 2.8 x 10(6) were measured for EXC and IEC, respectively. Based on those results, only the IEC option was pursued. The effects of particle size, mass of resin, and degree of cross-linkage for decontamination performance were assessed, and the loading/eluting conditions were optimized. Canadian (CNSC, RPB, UL, RMC, AECL) and American (ANL) laboratories participated in two round robin exercises designed by the National Research Council of Canada to determine the suitability and limitations of the proposed methods. Age determination for freshly irradiated sources (<1 a) and for sources with high Ni content was challenging for the laboratories. Nevertheless, age estimates were obtained with sufficient accuracy for nuclear forensic purposes.

AB A robust and inexpensive aqueous mercury sensor based on a gold nanoparticle film is described. The film is contained within an exposure chamber which allows for the optimization of the mercury mass transfer. The sensor detects mercury down to ng L-1 concentrations with a linear response. The response to mercury in field and lab-created samples with high levels of other inorganic species is consistent, suggesting that the sensor is selective. The sensor requires no mercury preconcentration or inert gas and is straightforward to operate.

AB We introduce the Assembling Galaxies Of Resolved Anatomy (AGORA) project, a comprehensive numerical study of well-resolved galaxies within the Lambda CDM cosmology. Cosmological hydrodynamic simulations with force resolutions of similar to 100 proper pc or better will be run with a variety of code platforms to follow the hierarchical growth, star formation history, morphological transformation, and the cycle of baryons in and out of eight galaxies with halo masses M-vir similar or equal to 10(10), 10(11), 10(12), and 10(13) M-circle dot at z = 0 and two different ("violent" and "quiescent") assembly histories. The numerical techniques and implementations used in this project include the smoothed particle hydrodynamics codes GADGET and GASOLINE, and the adaptive mesh refinement codes ART, ENZO, and RAMSES. The codes share common initial conditions and common astrophysics packages including UV background, metaldependent radiative cooling, metal and energy yields of supernovae, and stellar initial mass function. These are described in detail in the present paper. Subgrid star formation and feedback prescriptions will be tuned to provide a realistic interstellar and circumgalactic medium using a non-cosmological disk galaxy simulation. Cosmological runs will be systematically compared with each other using a common analysis toolkit and validated against observations to verify that the solutions are robust-i.e., that the astrophysical assumptions are responsible for any success, rather than artifacts of particular implementations. The goals of the AGORA project are, broadly speaking, to raise the realism and predictive power of galaxy simulations and the understanding of the feedback processes that regulate galaxy "metabolism." The initial conditions for the AGORA galaxies as well as simulation outputs at various epochs will be made publicly available to the community. The proof-of-concept dark-matter-only test of the formation of a galactic halo with a z = 0 mass of M-vir similar or equal to 1.7 x 10(11) M-circle dot by nine different versions of the participating codes is also presented to validate the infrastructure of the project.

The magnitude of this influence has changed substantially over the past and is expected to continue to change into the future. An integrated picture of the changing climatic influence of black carbon, organic carbon and sulfate over the period 1850 through 2100, focusing on uncertainty, is presented using updated historical inventories and a coordinated set of emission projections. We describe, in detail, the aerosol emissions from the RCP4.5 scenario and its associated reference scenario. While aerosols have had a substantial impact on climate over the past century, we show that, by the end of the 21st century, aerosols will likely be only a minor contributor to radiative forcing due to increases in greenhouse gas forcing and a net global decrease in pollutant emissions. This outcome is even more certain under a successful implementation of a policy to limit greenhouse gas emissions as low-carbon energy technologies that do not emit appreciable aerosol or SO2 are deployed.

AB In the present study, specific energy for grinding and physical properties of wheat, canola, oat and barley straw grinds were investigated. The initial moisture content of the straw was about 0.13-0.15 (fraction total mass basis). Particle size reduction experiments were conducted in two stages: (1) a chopper without a screen, and (2) a hammer mill using three screen sizes (19.05, 25.4, and 31.75 mm). The lowest grinding energy (1.96 and 2.91 kWh t (1)) was recorded for canola straw using a chopper and hammer mill with 19.05-mm screen size, whereas the highest (3.15 and 8.05 kWh t (1)) was recorded for barley and oat straws. The physical properties (geometric mean particle diameter, bulk, tapped and particle density, and porosity) of the chopped and hammer-milled wheat, barley, canola, and oat straw grinds measured were in the range of 0.98-4.22 mm, 36-80 kg m (3), 49-119 kg m (3), 600-1220 kg m (3), and 0.9-0.96, respectively. The average mean particle diameter was highest for the chopped wheat straw (4.22-mm) and lowest for the canola grind (0.98-mm). The canola grinds produced using the hammer mill (19.05-mm screen size) had the highest bulk and tapped density of about 80 and 119 kg m (3); whereas, the wheat and oat grinds had the lowest of about 58 and 88-90 kg m (3). The results indicate that the bulk and tapped densities are inversely proportional to the particle size of the grinds. The flow properties of the grinds calculated are better for chopped straws compared to hammer milled using smaller screen size (19.05 mm). (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB The lack of high-throughput approaches for expression and screening of large enzyme libraries remains a major bottleneck for current enzyme engineering efforts. To address this need, we have developed a high-throughput, fluorescence-based approach for rapid one-pot, microscale expression, and screening of industrial enzymes. In this chapter, we present the protocol for integration of cell-free protein expression with activity screening of enzymes in two formats: (1) a 96-well plate format and (2) a microscale-array format. Our one-pot method is ideally suited for rapid, first pass screening of enzymes and can also be used to perform detailed mechanistic analysis such as measurement of kinetics, determination of optimum temperature, and to study enzyme inhibition.

AB Noble metal nanoparticles (MNPs) have attracted continuous attention due to their promising applications in chemistry, physics, bioscience, medicine and materials science. As an alternative to conventional solution chemistry routes, MNPs can be directly synthesized through a conjugated polymer (CP) mediated technique utilizing the redox chemistry of CPs to chemically reduce the metal ions and modulate the size, morphology, and structure of the MNPs. The as-prepared multifunctional CP-MNP nanocomposites have shown application potentials as highly sensitive surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates, effective heterogeneous catalysts for organic synthesis and electrochemistry, and key components for electronic and sensing devices. In this tutorial review, we begin with a brief introduction to the chemical nature and redox properties of CPs that enable the spontaneous reduction of noble metal ions to form MNPs. We then focus on recent progress in control over the size, morphology and structure of MNPs during the conjugated polymer mediated syntheses of CP-MNP nanocomposites. Finally, we highlight the multifunctional CP-MNP nanocomposites toward their applications in sensing, catalysis, and electronic devices.

ID ORIENTED ATTACHMENT; CRYSTAL-GROWTH; HEMATITE PARTICLES; NANOPARTICLES;
MECHANISM; TITANIA
AB Intimate interconnection of crystal growth, (oriented) aggregation and phase transformation seem common in the formation of nano-and microcrystalline materials from solutions. Yet, the mechanistic linkages between the different processes have not been fully understood. In this work, we studied the hydrothermal growth of akaganeite (beta-FeOOH) nanorods and their transformation to micron-sized hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) spindles using high-resolution cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). Only akaganeite particles and hematite spindles were detected in the samples. Further, cryo-electron 3D tomograms show that akaganeite nanorods were aggregated into loose three-dimensional networks with some embedded hematite spindles. Based on our cryo-TEM and additional X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and chemical data, we propose the following mechanism: first, formation of the early-stage hematite spindles is driven by phase stability change due to increase in size caused by oriented aggregation of akaganeite. Then, akaganeite particles continue to transform to hematite upon contact with and recrystallization onto hematite surfaces, making hematite grow with a constant aspect ratio and forming micronsized nano-porous single-crystal spindles. Our growth model interprets experimental observations well and it resolves previous long-time debate over whether the hematite spindles are formed via classical Ostwald ripening or by oriented aggregation of hematite nanoparticles. Possibly, this aggregation-based concurrent growth and transformation model may also be applicable to crystal growth and phase transformation in other systems.

AB Iron oxyhydroxide nanoparticles, relatively abundant and highly reactive components of most natural ecosystems, are known to grow via the oriented attachment (OA)-based crystal growth pathway. Here, we conducted experiments in highly alkaline solutions containing sulfate and nitrate anions to test the differential impact of these anions on the various steps in this growth pathway. Nanogoethite (alpha-FeOOH) was prepared by reacting ferric sulfate or ferric nitrate with potassium hydroxide, and aging at room temperature, 50, 60 and 70 degrees C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to confirm the synthesis of goethite and Rietveld analyses were used to determine the particle sizes in samples with different aging times. Particle morphology and microstructure of some samples were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM images confirmed growth of goethite nanorods via OA. OA growth kinetics were modeled using a previously reported kinetic equation. An Arrhenius plot indicated the activation energy for OA-based crystal growth in the sulfate system was 45.2 kJ mol(-1), higher than in the nitrate system (23.1 kJ mol(-1)). The magnitude of the activation energy suggests that the rate-limiting step for OA growth is diffusion of nanoparticles in solution, a first step necessary for particle-particle attachment. We attribute the larger effect of sulfate compared to nitrate on the activation energy to greater structuring of water by sulfate. The kinetic pre-exponential factor for the sulfate system is much higher than that for the nitrate system, and results in faster growth kinetics at high temperature. Sulfate may accelerate the dehydration of the interface, a subsequent step required for OA-based growth, possibly through increasing the rate of water exchange at the nanoparticle surfaces. These findings motivate conduction of new experiments to further probe the kinetics of individual steps in OA-based crystal growth, suggest routes to inhibit or promote OA relative to atomby- atom growth pathways, and provide clues to how variation in solution chemistry could impact mineral growth in natural systems.

AB Modern standardized methodologies, described in detail in the previous chapters of this book, have enabled the software-automated design of optimized DNA construction protocols. This chapter describes how to design (combinatorial) scar-less DNA assembly protocols using the web-based software j5. j5 assists biomedical and biotechnological researchers construct DNA by automating the design of optimized protocols for flanking homology sequence as well as type IIS endonuclease-mediated DNA assembly methodologies. Unlike any other software tool available today, j5 designs scar-less combinatorial DNA assembly protocols, performs a cost-benefit analysis to identify which portions of an assembly process would be less expensive to outsource to a DNA synthesis service provider, and designs hierarchical DNA assembly strategies to mitigate anticipated poor assembly junction sequence performance. Software integrated with j5 add significant value to the j5 design process through graphical user-interface enhancement and downstream liquid-handling robotic laboratory automation.

AB Radio-frequency waves can penetrate thermonuclear plasmas, depositing momentum and energy with great selectivity: in select resonant ions or electrons, in select resonant regions, and with select momentum. When these waves are injected asymmetrically with respect to the toroidal direction in tokamaks, they can drive a toroidal electric current. The advantage of driving this current by waves is that a tokamak reactor might then be operated in the steady state. This lecture will review the elementary processes of wave-particle interactions in plasma that underlie the current drive effect.

AB A first-principle variational approach to adiabatic collisionless plasma waves is described. The focus is made on one-dimensional electrostatic oscillations, including phase-mixed electron plasma waves (EPWs) with trapped particles, such as Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal modes. Whitham's theory is extended by an explicit calculation of the EPW Lagrangian, which is related to the oscillation-center energies of individual particles in a periodic field, and those are found by a quadrature. Some I. INTRODUCTION paradigmatic physics of EPWs is discussed for illustration purposes.

These include current drive in magnetic geometries in which the toroidal magnetic field cannot be assumed to be dominant, current start-up with hyperresistivity, current drive with oscillating parameters, and synergistic effects between current drive and alpha channeling. These challenges are not necessarily straightforward to address, and it is possible that the challenges cannot even be met, but were they met, at least in some cases, there is the potential of significant consequence.

AB Since the first plasma in Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR), the electron cyclotron heating (ECH) system has been an essential tool for ECH-assisted start-up using second-harmonic 84-GHz and 110-GHz ECH and for experimental studies of other physics issues such as edge-localized mode control, rotation control, sawtooth control, tearing mode control, and core impurity control for long-pulse discharge and noninductive start-up. The loop voltage in KSTAR is limited by superconducting ohmic coils and a thick vacuum vessel. The ECH-assisted start-up was useful to overcome burnthrough during the ramp-up phase with limited loop voltage by the electron cyclotron beam injection before or after the onset of the inductive loop voltage to reduce resistive power consumption. Later, the 170-GHz ECH-system is installed as a main electron heating and local current drive for the I. INTRODUCTION control of magnetohydrodynamic modes such as sawteeth and neoclassical tearing modes. The 170-GHz gyrotron is an ITER preprototype gyrotron developed by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. Second-harmonic 170-GHz ECH-assisted start-up was also attempted with a raised toroidal magnetic field of 3 Tin the 2011 KSTAR campaign, and flux saving in the ramp-up phase was observed. This lecture describes the physics issues and experimental results of the KSTAR ECH system. The present status and an upgrade plan of the KSTAR ECH system is also described.

AB Free Electron Lasers have been around since 1977 providing not only a test bed for the physics of FELs and electron/photon interactions but as a workhorse of scientific research. More than 30 FELs are presently operating around the world spanning a wavelength range from the millimeter region to the hard x-ray using direct current and rf linear accelerators or storage rings as electron sources. The characteristics that have driven the development of these sources are the desire for high peak and average power, high micropulse energies, wavelength tunability, timing flexibility, and wavelengths that are unavailable from more conventional laser sources. Operation of FELs in the far infrared to terahertz regime poses special challenges which have been and are being addressed at a number of facilities around the world. This paper will review a number of former and existing FELs operating in this regime and discuss future efforts. Broadband collective radiation from relativistic electrons also plays a significant role in the production of FIR/THz radiation and several groups are taking advantage of this source for users. Applications for use of the radiation have evolved from simple imaging to complex pump probe tests of insulator/metal transitions and energy flow in organic molecules. We will discuss the technologies for generating the IR/FIR/THz radiation and cover some of the unique applications of such sources.

AB For reasons of cost and supply security issues, there is growing interest in the development of rechargeable sodium ion batteries, particularly for large-scale grid storage applications. Like the much better known and technologically important lithium ion analogs, the devices operate by shuttling alkali metal cations between two host materials, which undergo insertion processes at different electrochemical potentials. A particular challenge for the sodium systems is identification of a suitable anode material due to the fact that sodium does not intercalate into graphite. Although several alternatives, including disordered carbons and alloys are being investigated, the most promising options at present lie with titanates, not in the least because of attractive characteristics such as low toxicity, ease of synthesis, wide availability, and low cost. A large variety of sodium titanate compounds can be prepared, many of which have tunnel or layered structures that can readily undergo reversible reductive intercalation reactions. A brief overview of the physical, structural, and electrochemical characteristics of several of the most promising materials for sodium-ion battery applications is given in this paper, and a comparison is made between the sodium and the lithium insertion behaviors. For some of these compounds, insertion of sodium occurs at unusually low potentials, a feature that has important implications for the design of high-energy sodium-ion systems.

ID TRANSPARENT; SURFACTANT; FABRICATION; DISPERSION; SOLVENTS
AB Described is a method for ultrasonically spraying thin films of carbon nanotubes that have been suspended in organic solvents. Nanotubes were sonicated in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone or N-cyclohexyl-2-pyrrolidone (CHP) and then sprayed onto a heated substrate using an ultrasonic spray nozzle. The solvent was quickly evaporated, leaving a thin film of randomly oriented nanotubes. Unlike other methods of spraying nanotube films, this does not require removal of surfactant after spraying and is compatible with creating films of functionalized nanotubes. Film thickness was controlled by the spray time and films were sprayed with thicknesses between 10 and 500 nm. Single-walled, multiwalled, and functionalized multiwalled nanotubes were sprayed. Transparent conducting thin films prepared by spraying single-walled carbon nanotubes dispersed in CHP demonstrated similar sheet resistance (for a given optical transmittance) as those prepared by spraying aqueous polymer-based dispersions that required postdeposition polymer removal.

By comparison, a dose of 2 x 10 14 cm(-2) dose produced a 12.5% reduction of IDSS and 9.2% increase of sheet resistance. In addition, the threshold voltage showed larger positive shifts for 2 x 10 14 cm(-2) dose compared to 2 x 10 13 cm(-2), and both of these doses produced showed larger shifts for smaller gate to drain distances. Increases of 39.8% and 47.1%, respectively, in the breakdown voltage for 6 and 10 mu m drain to gate distances (L-GD) was observed and was attributed to the creation of a virtual gate at the AlGaN/GaN interface due to the irradiation, which reduced the peak electric field at the drain side of the gate edge.

AB The microstructure of Ti/Al/Ni/Au ohmic contacts on N-polar GaN/AlGaN high electron mobility transistor heterostructures annealed from 800 degrees C to 900 degrees C has been studied using transmission electron microscopy and associated analytical techniques. Two ohmic metal stacks with different Ti/Al/Ni/Au layer thicknesses (20/200/40/50 nm and 20/100/10/50 nm) have been examined. Samples with low ohmic contact resistance after annealing were found to have two common characteristics: (1) the top GaN channel layer had completely reacted with Ti metal to form a polycrystalline TiN layer and (2) a similar to 5 nm-thick Au-rich layer was present near the TiN/AlGaN interface. Possible conduction mechanisms related to the presence of Au in low ohmic contact resistance samples are discussed. (C) 2014 American Vacuum Society.

AB A portable vacuum interface allowing direct probing of the electrode-electrolyte interface was developed. A classical electrochemical system consisting of a gold working electrode, platinum counter electrode, platinum reference electrode, and potassium iodide electrolyte was used to demonstrate real-time observation of the gold iodide adlayer on the electrode and chemical species as a result of redox reactions using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS, a vacuum-based surface technique) simultaneously. This microfluidic electrochemical probe provides a new way to investigate the surface region with adsorbed molecules and the region of the diffused layer with chemical speciation in liquids in situ by surface sensitive techniques.

AB Listeria monocytogenes remains a significant foodborne pathogen due to its virulence and ability to become established in food processing facilities. The pathogen is characterized by its ability to grow over a wide temperature range and withstand a broad range of stresses. The following reports on the chemotaxis and motility of the L. monocytogenes when exposed to relatively small concentrations of acetic acid. Using the developed nanoporous microfluidic device to precisely modulate the cellular environment, we exposed the individual Listeria cells to acetic acid and, in real time and with high resolution, observed how the cells reacted to the change in their surroundings. Our results showed that concentrations of acetic acid below 10 mM had very little, if any, effect on the motility. However, when exposed to 100 mM acetic acid, the cells exhibited a sharp drop in velocity and displayed a more random pattern of motion. These results indicate that at appropriate concentrations, acetic acid has the ability to disable the flagellum of the cells, thus impairing their motility. This drop in motility has numerous effects on the cell; its main effects being the obstruction of the cell's ability to properly form biofilms and a reduction in the overall infectivity of the cells. Since these characteristics are especially useful in controlling the proliferation of L. monocytogenes, acetic acid shows potential for application in the food industry as an active compound in designing a food packaging environment and as an antimicrobial agent.

AB The field of nuclear materials encompasses numerous opportunities to address and ultimately solve longstanding industrial problems by improving the fundamental understanding of materials through the integration of experiments with multiscale modeling and high-performance simulation. A particularly noteworthy example is an ongoing study of axial power distortions in a nuclear reactor induced by corrosion deposits, known as CRUD (Chalk River unidentified deposits). We describe how progress is being made toward achieving scientific advances and technological solutions on two fronts. Specifically, the study of thermal conductivity of CRUD phases has augmented missing data as well as revealed new mechanisms. Additionally, the development of a multiscale simulation framework shows potential for the validation of a new capability to predict the power distribution of a reactor, in effect direct evidence of technological impact. The material- and system-level challenges identified in the study of CRUD are similar to other well-known vexing problems in nuclear materials, such as irradiation accelerated corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and void swelling; they all involve connecting materials science fundamentals at the atomistic- and meso-scales to technology challenges at the macroscale.

AB Surfaces decorated with dense arrays of microscopic fibres exhibit unique materials properties, including superhydrophobicity and low friction. Nature relies on 'hairy' surfaces to protect blood capillaries from wear and infection (endothelial glycocalyx). Here we report on the discovery of self-assembled tunable networks of microscopic polymer fibres ranging from wavy colloidal 'fur' to highly interconnected networks. The networks emerge via dynamic self-assembly in an alternating electric field from a non-aqueous suspension of 'sticky' polymeric colloidal particles with a controlled degree of polymerization. The resulting architectures are tuned by the frequency and amplitude of the electric field and surface properties of the particles. We demonstrate, using atomic layer deposition, that the networks can serve as a template for a transparent conductor. These self-assembled tunable materials are promising candidates for large surface area electrodes in batteries and organic photovoltaic cells, as well as for microfluidic sensors and filters.

AB The advent of Dirac materials has made it possible to realize two-dimensional gases of relativistic fermions with unprecedented transport properties in condensed matter. Their photoconductive control with ultrafast light pulses is opening new perspectives for the transmission of current and information. Here we show that the interplay of surface and bulk transient carrier dynamics in a photoexcited topological insulator can control an essential parameter for photoconductivity-the balance between excess electrons and holes in the Dirac cone. This can result in a strongly out of equilibrium gas of hot relativistic fermions, characterized by a surprisingly long lifetime of more than 50 ps, and a simultaneous transient shift of chemical potential by as much as 100 meV. The unique properties of this transient Dirac cone make it possible to tune with ultrafast light pulses a relativistic nanoscale Schottky barrier, in a way that is impossible with conventional optoelectronic materials.

AB High-performance piezoelectrics are lead-based solid solutions that exhibit a so-called morphotropic phase boundary, which separates two competing phases as a function of chemical composition; as a consequence, an intermediate low-symmetry phase with a strong piezoelectric effect arises. In search for environmentally sustainable lead-free alternatives that exhibit analogous characteristics, we use a network of competing domains to create similar conditions across thermal inter-ferroelectric transitions in simple, lead-free ferroelectrics such as BaTiO3 and KNbO3. Here we report the experimental observation of thermotropic phase boundaries in these classic ferroelectrics, through direct imaging of low-symmetry intermediate phases that exhibit large enhancements in the existing nonlinear optical and piezoelectric property coefficients. Furthermore, the symmetry lowering in these phases allows for new property coefficients that exceed all the existing coefficients in both parent phases. Discovering the thermotropic nature of thermal phase transitions in simple ferroelectrics thus presents unique opportunities for the design of 'green' high-performance materials.

AB The terahertz spectral regime, ranging from about 0.1-15 THz, is one of the least explored yet most technologically transformative spectral regions. One current challenge is to develop efficient and compact terahertz emitters/detectors with a broadband and gapless spectrum that can be tailored for various pump photon energies. Here we demonstrate efficient single-cycle broadband THz generation, ranging from about 0.1-4 THz, from a thin layer of split-ring resonators with few tens of nanometers thickness by pumping at the telecommunications wavelength of 1.5 mm (200 THz). The terahertz emission arises from exciting the magnetic-dipole resonance of the split-ring resonators and quickly decreases under off-resonance pumping. This, together with pump polarization dependence and power scaling of the terahertz emission, identifies the role of optically induced nonlinear currents in split-ring resonators. We also reveal a giant sheet nonlinear susceptibility similar to 10(-16) m(2) V-1 that far exceeds thin films and bulk non-centrosymmetric materials.

AB Many materials in nature change colours in response to stimuli, making them attractive for use as sensor platform. However, both natural materials and their synthetic analogues lack selectivity towards specific chemicals, and introducing such selectivity remains a challenge. Here we report the self-assembly of genetically engineered viruses (M13 phage) into target-specific, colourimetric biosensors. The sensors are composed of phage-bundle nanostructures and exhibit viewing-angle independent colour, similar to collagen structures in turkey skin. On exposure to various volatile organic chemicals, the structures rapidly swell and undergo distinct colour changes. Furthermore, sensors composed of phage displaying trinitrotoluene (TNT)-binding peptide motifs identified from a phage display selectively distinguish TNT down to 300 p.p.b. over similarly structured chemicals. Our tunable, colourimetric sensors can be useful for the detection of a variety of harmful toxicants and pathogens to protect human health and national security.

TI Effective impedance boundary optimization and its contribution to dipole
radiation and radiation pattern control
SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS
LA English
DT Article
ID DIFFRACTION
AB Radiation pattern control has generated much interest recently due to its potential applications. Here we report the observation of high-efficiency dipole-like radiation of sound with broad bandwidth through a decorated plate with periodical two-dimensional Helmholtz resonators on both sides and a single slit at the centre. The decorated plate was optimally designed to adjust the effective impedance of the boundary, and the underlying mechanism of radiation pattern control is attributed to wave vector tailoring. The high radiation efficiency is due to the Fabry-Perot resonances associated with waveguide modes in the centre slit. The method to obtain a collimated beam without any sidelobes is also provided. Our findings should have an impact on acoustic applications.

AB The attractive optoelectronic properties of conducting polymers depend sensitively upon intra-and inter-polymer chain interactions, and therefore new methods to manipulate these interactions are continually being pursued. Here, we report a study of the isotopic effects of deuterium substitution on the structure, morphology and optoelectronic properties of regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene)s with an approach that combines the synthesis of deuterated materials, optoelectronic properties measurements, theoretical simulation and neutron scattering. Selective substitutions of deuterium on the backbone or side-chains of poly(3-hexylthiophene) s result in distinct optoelectronic responses in poly(3-hexylthiophene)/[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) photovoltaics. Specifically, the weak non-covalent intermolecular interactions induced by the main-chain deuteration are shown to change the film crystallinity and morphology of the active layer, consequently reducing the short-circuit current. However, side-chain deuteration does not significantly modify the film morphology but causes a decreased electronic coupling, the formation of a charge transfer state, and increased electron-phonon coupling, leading to a remarkable reduction in the open circuit voltage.

AB Organic semiconductors with higher carrier mobility and better transparency have been actively pursued for numerous applications, such as flat-panel display backplane and sensor arrays. The carrier mobility is an important figure of merit and is sensitively influenced by the crystallinity and the molecular arrangement in a crystal lattice. Here we describe the growth of a highly aligned meta-stable structure of 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1] benzothiophene (C8-BTBT) from a blended solution of C8-BTBT and polystyrene by using a novel off-centre spin-coating method. Combined with a vertical phase separation of the blend, the highly aligned, meta-stable C8-BTBT films provide a significantly increased thin film transistor hole mobility up to 43 cm(2)Vs(-1) (25 cm(2)Vs(-1) on average), which is the highest value reported to date for all organic molecules. The resulting transistors show high transparency of >90% over the visible spectrum, indicating their potential for transparent, high-performance organic electronics.

AB We show in this article that the position of semiconductor band edges relative to the water reduction and oxidation levels can be reliably predicted from the ionization potentials (IP) and electron affinities (AE) only. Using a set of 17 materials, including transition metal compounds, we show that accurate surface dependent IPs and EAs of semiconductors can be computed by combining density functional theory and many-body GW calculations. From the extensive comparison of calculated IPs and EAs with available experimental data, both from photoemission and electrochemical measurements, we show that it is possible to sort candidate materials solely from IPs and EAs thereby eliminating explicit treatment of semiconductor/water interfaces. We find that at pH values corresponding to the point of zero charge there is on average a 0.5 eV shift of IPs and EAs closer to the vacuum due to the dipoles formed at material/water interfaces.

AB The polyphenylene network, known as porous graphene, is one of the most important and widely studied two-dimensional materials. As a potential candidate for photocatalysis and photovoltaic energy generation, its application has been limited by the low photocatalytic activity in the visible-light region. State-of-the-art hybrid density functional theory investigations are presented to show that an analogous B-C-N porous sheet outperforms the pristine polyphenylene network with significantly enhanced visible-light absorption. Compared with porous graphene, the calculated energy gap of the B-C-N hybrid crystal shrinks to 2.7 eV and the optical absorption peak remarkably shifts to the visible light region. The redox potentials of water splitting are well positioned in the middle of the band gap. Hybridizations among B_p, N_p and C_p orbitals are responsible for these findings. Valence and conduction band calculations indicate that the electrons and holes can be effectively separated, reducing charge recombination and improving the photoconversion efficiency. Moreover, the band gap and optical properties of the B-C-N hybrid porous sheet can be further finely engineered by external strain.

AB We propose a framework for designing the supply chain network for biomass co-firing in coal-fired power plants. This framework is inspired by existing practices with products with similar physical characteristics to biomass. We present a hub-and-spoke supply chain network design model for long-haul delivery of biomass. This model is a mixed integer linear program solved using benders decomposition algorithm. Numerical analysis indicates that 100 million tons of biomass are located within 75 miles from a coal plant and could be delivered at $8.53/dry-ton; 60 million tons of biomass are located beyond 75 miles and could be delivered at $36/dry-ton.

ARRAYS
AB There are growing concerns over the environmental, climate, and health impacts caused by using non-renewable fossil fuels. The utilization of green energy, including solar and wind power, is believed to be one of the most promising alternatives to support more sustainable economic growth. In this regard, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) can play a critically important role. To further increase the energy and power densities of LIBs, silicon anodes have been intensively explored due to their high capacity, low operation potential, environmental friendliness, and high abundance. The main challenges for the practical implementation of silicon anodes, however, are the huge volume variation during lithiation and delithiation processes and the unstable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) films. Recently, significant breakthroughs have been achieved utilizing advanced nanotechnologies in terms of increasing cycle life and enhancing charging rate performance due partially to the excellent mechanical properties of nanomaterials, high surface area, and fast lithium and electron transportation. Here, the most recent advance in the applications of 0D (nanoparticles), 1D (nanowires and nanotubes), and 2D (thin film) silicon nanomaterials in LIBs are summarized. The synthetic routes and electrochemical performance of these Si nanomaterials, and the underlying reaction mechanisms are systematically described.

AB The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR will search for the neutrinoless double-beta (beta beta(0 nu)) decay of the isotope Ge-76 with a mixed array of enriched and natural germanium detectors. The observation of this rare decay would indicate that the neutrino is its own antiparticle, demonstrate that lepton number is not conserved, and provide information on the absolute mass scale of the neutrino. The DEMONSTRATOR is being assembled at the 4850-foot level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota. The array will be situated in a low-background environment and surrounded by passive and active shielding. Here we describe the science goals of the Demonstrator and the details of its design.

AB Acoustofluidic devices for manipulating microparticles in fluids are appealing for biological sample processing due to their gentle and high-speed capability of sorting cell-scale objects. Such devices are generally limited to moving particles toward locations at integer fractions of the fluid channel width (1/2, 1/4, 1/6, etc.). In this work, we introduce a unique approach to acoustophoretic device design that overcomes this constraint, allowing us to design the particle focusing location anywhere within the microchannel. This is achieved by fabricating a second fluid channel in parallel with the sample channel, separated from it by a thin silicon wall. The fluids in both channels participate to create the ultrasound resonance, while only one channel processes the sample, thus de-coupling the fluidic and acoustic boundaries. The wall placement and the relative widths of the adjacent channels define the particle focusing location. We investigate the operating characteristics of a range of these devices to determine the configurations that enable effective particle focusing and separation. The results show that a sufficiently thin wall negligibly affects focusing efficiency and location compared to a single channel without a wall, validating the success of this design approach without compromising separation performance. Using these principles to design and fabricate an optimized device configuration, we demonstrate high-efficiency focusing of microspheres, as well as separation of cell-free viruses from mammalian cells. These "transparent wall" acoustic devices are capable of over 90% extraction efficiency with 10 mm microspheres at 450 mu L min(-1), and of separating cells (98% purity), from viral particles (70% purity) at 100 mu L min(-1).

AB Using Planck data combined with the Meta Catalogue of X-ray detected Clusters of galaxies (MCXC), we address the study of peculiar motions by searching for evidence of the kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (kSZ). By implementing various filters designed to extract the kSZ generated at the positions of the clusters, we obtain consistent constraints on the radial peculiar velocity average, root mean square (rms), and local bulk flow amplitude at different depths. For the whole cluster sample of average redshift 0.18, the measured average radial peculiar velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation at that redshift, i.e., the kSZ monopole, amounts to 72 +/- 60 km s(-1). This constitutes less than 1% of the relative Hubble velocity of the cluster sample with respect to our local CMB frame. While the linear Lambda CDM prediction for the typical cluster radial velocity rms at z = 0.15 is close to 230 km s(-1), the upper limit imposed by Planck data on the cluster subsample corresponds to 800 km s(-1) at 95% confidence level, i.e., about three times higher. Planck data also set strong constraints on the local bulk flow in volumes centred on the Local Group. There is no detection of bulk flow as measured in any comoving sphere extending to the maximum redshift covered by the cluster sample. A blind search for bulk flows in this sample has an upper limit of 254 km s(-1) (95% confidence level) dominated by CMB confusion and instrumental noise, indicating that the Universe is largely homogeneous on Gpc scales. In this context, in conjunction with supernova observations, Planck is able to rule out a large class of inhomogeneous void models as alternatives to dark energy or modified gravity. The Planck constraints on peculiar velocities and bulk flows are thus consistent with the Lambda CDM scenario.

TI Structure and substructure analysis of DAFT/FADA galaxy clusters in the

AB Context. The DAFT/FADA survey is based on the study of similar to 90 rich (masses found in the literature >2 x 10(14) M-circle dot) and moderately distant clusters (redshifts 0.4 < z < 0.9), all with HST imaging data available. This survey has two main objectives: to constrain dark energy (DE) using weak lensing tomography on galaxy clusters and to build a database (deep multi-band imaging allowing photometric redshift estimates, spectroscopic data, X-ray data) of rich distant clusters to study their properties.
Aims. We analyse the structures of all the clusters in the DAFT/FADA survey for which XMM-Newton and/or a sufficient number of galaxy redshifts in the cluster range are available, with the aim of detecting substructures and evidence for merging events. These properties are discussed in the framework of standard cold dark matter (Lambda CDM) cosmology.
Methods. In X-rays, we analysed the XMM-Newton data available, fit a beta-model, and subtracted it to identify residuals. We used Chandra data, when available, to identify point sources. In the optical, we applied a Serna & Gerbal (SG) analysis to clusters with at least 15 spectroscopic galaxy redshifts available in the cluster range. We discuss the substructure detection efficiencies of both methods.
Results. XMM-Newton data were available for 32 clusters, for which we derive the X-ray luminosity and a global X-ray temperature for 25 of them. For 23 clusters we were able to fit the X-ray emissivity with a beta-model and subtract it to detect substructures in the X-ray gas. A dynamical analysis based on the SG method was applied to the clusters having at least 15 spectroscopic galaxy redshifts in the cluster range: 18 X-ray clusters and 11 clusters with no X-ray data. The choice of a minimum number of 15 redshifts implies that only major substructures will be detected. Ten substructures were detected both in X-rays and by the SG method. Most of the substructures detected both in X-rays and with the SG method are probably at their first cluster pericentre approach and are relatively recent infalls. We also find hints of a decreasing X-ray gas density profile core radius with redshift.
Conclusions. The percentage of mass included in substructures was found to be roughly constant with redshift values of 5-15%, in agreement both with the general CDM framework and with the results of numerical simulations. Galaxies in substructures show the same general behaviour as regular cluster galaxies; however, in substructures, there is a deficiency of both late type and old stellar population galaxies. Late type galaxies with recent bursts of star formation seem to be missing in the substructures close to the bottom of the host cluster potential well. However, our sample would need to be increased to allow a more robust analysis.

AB Context. Monoceros R2 (Mon R2), at a distance of 830 pc, is the only ultra-compact H II region (UC H II) where its associated photon-dominated region (PDR) can be resolved with the Herschel Space Observatory.
Aims. Our aim is to investigate observationally the kinematical patterns in the interface regions (i.e., the transition from atomic to molecular gas) associated with Mon R2.
Methods. We used the HIFI instrument on board Herschel to observe the line profiles of the reactive ions CH+, OH+, and H2O+ toward different positions in Mon R2. We derive the column density of these molecules and compare them with gas-phase chemistry models.
Results. The reactive ion CH+ is detected both in emission (at central and red-shifted velocities) and in absorption (at blue-shifted velocities). The OH+ ion is detected in absorption at both blue-and red-shifted velocities, with similar column densities; H2O+ is not detected at any of the positions, down to a rms of 40 mK toward the molecular peak. At this position, we find that the OH+ absorption originates in a mainly atomic medium, and therefore is associated with the most exposed layers of the PDR. These results are consistent with the predictions from photo-chemical models. The line profiles are consistent with the atomic gas being entrained in the ionized gas flow along the walls of the cavity of the Hii region. Based on this evidence, we are able to propose a new geometrical model for this region.
Conclusions. The kinematical patterns of the OH+ and CH+ absorption indicate the existence of a layer of mainly atomic gas for which we have derived, for the first time, some physical parameters and its dynamics.

AB Membrane proteins operate in unique cellular environments. Once removed from their native context for the purification that is required for most types of structural or functional analyses, they are prone to denature if not properly stabilized by membrane mimetics. Detergent micelles have prominently been used to stabilize membrane proteins in aqueous environments as their amphipathic nature allows for shielding of the hydrophobic surfaces of these bio-macromolecules while supporting solubility and monodispersity in water. This study expands the utility of branched diglucoside-bearing tripod agents, designated ganglio-tripod amphiphiles, with introduction of key variations in their hydrophobic sections and shows how these latter elements can be fine-tuned to maximize membrane protein solubilization while preserving characteristics of these molecules that afford stabilization of rather fragile assemblies. Their efficacy rivals benchmark detergents heavily used today, such as n-dodecyl-beta-D-maltoside. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Neutral lipid transport in mammals is complicated involving many types of apolipoprotein. The exchangeable apolipoproteins mediate the transfer of hydrophobic lipids between tissues and particles, and bind to cell surface receptors. Amphipathic a-helices form a common structural motif that facilitates their lipid binding and exchangeability. ApoLp-III, the only exchangeable apolipoprotein found in insects, is a model amphipathic a:helix bundle protein and its three dimensional structure and function mimics that of the mammalian proteins apoE and apoAI. Even the intracellular exchangeable lipid droplet protein TIP47/perilipin 3 contains an a-helix bundle domain with high structural similarity to that of apoE and apoLp-III. Here, we investigated the interaction of apoLp-III from Locusta migratoria with lipid monolayers. Consistent with earlier work we find that insertion of apoLp-III into fluid lipid monolayers is highest for diacylglycerol. We observe a preference for saturated and more highly ordered lipids, suggesting a new mode of interaction for amphipathic a-helix bundles. X-ray reflectivity shows that apoLp-III unfolds at a hydrophobic interface and flexible loops connecting the amphipathic cc-helices stay in solution. X-ray diffraction indicates that apoLp-III insertion into diacylglycerol monolayers induces additional ordering of saturated acyl-chains. These results thus shed important new insight into the protein-lipid interactions of a model exchangeable apolipoprotein with significant implications for its mammalian counterparts.

AB Background: Significant experimental effort has been applied to study radioactive beta-decay in biological systems. Atomic-scale knowledge of this transmutation process is lacking due to the absence of computer simulations. Carbon-14 is an important beta-emitter, being ubiquitous in the environment and an intrinsic part of the genetic code. Over a lifetime, around 50 billion C-14 decays occur within human DNA.
Methods: We apply ab initio molecular dynamics to quantify C-14-induced bond rupture in a variety of organic molecules, including DNA base pairs.
Results: We show that double bonds and ring structures confer radiation resistance. These features, present in the canonical bases of the DNA, enhance their resistance to 14C-induced bond-breaking. In contrast, the sugar group of the DNA and RNA backbone is vulnerable to single-strand breaking. We also show that Carbon-14 decay provides a mechanism for creating mutagenic wobble-type mispairs.
Conclusions: The observation that DNA has a resistance to natural radioactivity has not previously been recognized. We show that 14C decay can be a source for generating non-canonical bases.
General significance: Our findings raise questions such as how the genetic apparatus deals with the appearance of an extra nitrogen in the canonical bases. It is not obvious whether or not the DNA repair mechanism detects this modification nor how DNA replication is affected by a non-canonical nucleobase. Accordingly, 14C may prove to be a source of genetic alteration that is impossible to avoid due to the universal presence of radiocarbon in the environment. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

AB This work presents a detailed analysis of the production design and economics of the cellulosic isobutanol conversion processes and compares cellulosic isobutanol with cellulosic ethanol and n-butanol in the areas of fuel properties and engine compatibility, fermentation technology, product purification process design and energy consumption, overall process economics, and life cycle assessment. Techno-economic analysis is used to understand the current stage of isobutanol process development and the impact of key parameters on the overall process economics in a consistent way (i.e. using the same financial assumptions, plant scale, and cost basis). The calculated minimum isobutanol selling price is $3.62/gasoline gallon equivalent ($/GGE) - similar to $3.66/GGE from the n-butanol process and higher than $3.26/GGE from the cellulosic ethanol conversion process. At the conversion stage, the n-butanol process emits the most direct CO2, at 26.42 kg CO2/GGE. Isobutanol and ethanol plants have relatively similar CO2 emissions, at 21.91 kg CO2/GGE and 21.01 kg CO2/GGE, respectively. The consumptive water use of the biorefineries increases in the following order: ethanol (8.19 gal/GGE)66 Despite author order, Ethan

AB Ferroelectric lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT) films with 8 mol% lanthanum and different Zr/Ti ratios (70/30, 65/35, 58/42, 52/48, 45/55, and 40/60) have been grown on platinized silicon substrates by chemical solution deposition. The effects of the Zr/Ti ratios on the dielectric and ferroelectric properties were investigated for high-power energy storage applications. These films exhibited relaxor behavior and slim polarization electric field hysteresis loops, and the degree of phase transition diffuseness decreased with increasing Ti. The PLZT films with Zr/Ti=52/48 had a high spontaneous polarization of approximate to 51.2 mu C/cm(2), a low remanent polarization of approximate to 9.1 mu C/cm(2), and a low coercive electric field of approximate to 25.9 kV/cm, leading to a recoverable energy density of approximate to 30 J/cm(3) and a charge discharge efficiency of approximate to 78% at room temperature. The high energy density and high efficiency indicate that relaxor PLZT with La/Zr/Ti=8/52/48 is a promising candidate for high-power film capacitors. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

AB Room temperature and high temperature x-ray powder diffraction and differential thermal analysis/thermo-gravimetric analysis (DTA/TGA) have been used to characterize the phase evolution of bulk mayenite (Ca12Al14O33) prepared using the citrate sol-gel method. These studies have shown that single phase mayenite forms at 900 degrees C in air after approximately three hours. High temperature x-ray powder diffraction data show that when firing in air at temperatures 600 degrees C and below only amorphous content is observed; above 600 degrees C CaCO3 is the first phase to crystallize. For samples quenched at 800 degrees C and evaluated using room temperature x-ray powder diffraction mayenite, CaAl2O4, and CaCO3 were present. High temperature x-ray diffraction data collected while firing in 4% H-2/96% N-2 reveals that CaCO3 does not form and Ca12Al14O33 starts to form around 850 degrees C. DTA/TGA data collected either in a nitrogen environment or air on samples synthesized using the citrate gel method support the complete decomposition of metastable phases and the formation of mayenite at 900 degrees C, although the phase evolution is different depending on the environment.

AB Using seismic data collected by the Beijing metropolitan Digital Seismic Network (BDTSN) and our temporary seismic stations, we conduct a systematic search of dynamic triggering around the Fangshan Pluton near Beijing following the 2010/02/27 M(w)8.8 Chile earthquake. Based on standard waveform processing and statistical analysis, we find at least 5 microearthquakes occurred during the direct surface waves of the Chile mainshock. Because our study region is relatively stable with minor background seismicity, the observed seismicity change is statistically significant. However, their effects on the overall seismic activity around Beijing were negligible. The peak dynamic stress induced by the Chile mainshock recorded at station NKY is about 7 kPa, which is the smallest value among the other cases of triggering found in this region. This could be caused by a combination of relatively quiet background seismicity right before the Chile mainshock, favorable incident angle, and possible superposition of the first two groups of surface wave at near antipodal distances (similar to 20000 km). However, we did not find any evidence of triggered activity during multiple surface waves of the Chile mainshock that arrived later, and during the teleseismic waves of the M(w)7.0 Ryukyu earthquake occurred 10 hours earlier.

TI Building energy efficiency in rural China
SO ENERGY POLICY
LA English
DT Article
DE Energy efficiency; China; Rural buildings
AB Rural buildings in China now account for more than half of China's total building energy use. Forty percent of the floorspace in China is in rural villages and towns. Most of these buildings are very energy inefficient, and may struggle to provide for basic needs. They are cold in the winter, and often experience indoor air pollution from fuel use. The Chinese government plans to adopt a voluntary building energy code, or design standard, for rural homes. The goal is to build on China's success with codes in urban areas to improve efficiency and comfort in rural homes. The Chinese government recognizes rural buildings represent a major opportunity for improving national building energy efficiency. The challenges of rural China are also greater than those of urban areas in many ways because of the limited local capacity and low income levels. The Chinese government wants to expand on new programs to subsidize energy efficiency improvements in rural homes to build capacity for larger-scale improvement. This article summarizes the trends and status of rural building energy use in China. It then provides an overview of the new rural building design standard, and describes options and issues to move forward with implementation. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Potassium-promoted cobalt molybdenum sulfide (K-CoMoSx) mixed alcohol synthesis catalysts were operated from 118 to 3969 h for the purpose of studying catalyst deactivation. Continuous and discontinuous sulfiding with H2S and methyl sulfides was considered. Fresh and discharged catalysts were analyzed via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). When continuously sulfided, selectivity was maintained for thousands of hours. Without sulfur cofeed, catalysts exhibited a change in selectivity from alcohols to hydrocarbons over periods of hundreds of hours. Sulfur deprivation resulted in oxidization, carburization, and coking of the catalyst surface and segregation of cobalt into crystalline C0(9)S(8). It is suggested that in the absence of a sulfiding agent, the catalyst surface becomes more acidic (oxidized) promoting dehydration of alcohols (selectivity change) and coking (blocking active sites). Reintroduttion of H2S may reverse oxidation on non-coked surfaces. Proper sulfur maintenance may render catalysts operable for years without need of regeneration or replacement.

AB A route for cleaving the C-O aryl ether bonds of p-substituted H-, CH3-, and OH- diphenyl ethers has been explored over Ni/SiO2 catalyst at very mild conditions (393 K, 0.6 MPa). The C-O bond of diphenyl ether is cleaved by parallel hydrogenolysis and hydrolysis (hydrogenolysis combined with HO* addition) on Ni. The rates as a function of Hy pressure from 0 to 10 MPa indicate that the rate-determining step is the C-O bond cleavage on Ni surface. H* atoms compete with the organic reactant for adsorption leading to a maximum in the rate with increasing Hy pressure. In contrast to diphenyl ether, hydrogenolysis is the exclusive route for cleaving a C-O bond of di-p-tolyl ether to form p-cresol and toluene. 4,4'-Dihydroxydiphenyl ether undergoes sequential surface hydrogenolysis, first to phenol and OC6H4OH* (adsorbed), which is then cleaved to phenol (C6H4OH* with added H*) and H2O (O* with two added H*) in a second step. Density function theory supports the operation of this pathway. Notably, addition of H* to OC6H4- OH* is less faliorable than a further hydrogenolytic C-O bond cleavage. The TOFs of three diaryl ethers with Ni/SiO2 in water follow the order 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl ether (69 mol mol(Ni surf)(-1) h(-1)) > diphenyl ether (26 mol mol(Ni surf)(-1) h(-1)) > di-p-tolyl ether (1.3 mol mol(Ni surf)(-1) h(-1)), in line with the increasing apparent activation energies, ranging from 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl et er (93 kJ mo1-1)< diphenyl ether (98 kJ mo1-1)< di-p-tolyl ether (105 kJ mol(-1)).

AB Impacts of water, methanol, and hexadecane solvents on the individual steps of phenol hydrodeoxygenation are investigated over Pd/C and HZSM-5 catalyst components at 473 Kin presence of H-2. Hydrodeoxygenation of phenol to cyclohexane includes four individual steps of phenol hydrogenation to cyclohexanone on Pd/C, cyclohexanone hydrogenation to cyclohexanol on Pd/C, cyclohexanol dehydration to cyclohexene on HZSM-5, and cyclohexene hydrogenation to cyclohexane on Pd/C. Individual phenol and cyclohexanone hydrogenation rates are much lower in methanol and hexadecane than in water, while rates of cyclohexanol dehydration and cyclohexene hydrogenation are similar in three solvents. The slow rate in methanol is due to the strong solvation of reactants and the adsorption of methanol on Pd, as well as to the reaction between methanol and the cyclohexanone intermediate. The low solubility of phenol and strong interaction of hexadecane with Pd lead to the slow rate in hexadecane. The apparent activation energies for hydrogenation follow the order E-a phenol > E-a cyclonexanone > E-a cyclohexene, and the sequences of individual reaction rates are reverse in three solvents. The dehydration rates (1.1-1.8 x 10(3) mol mol(BAS)(-1) h(-1))and apparent activation energies (115-124 kJ mol(-1)) are comparable in three solvents. In situ liquid-phase IR spectroscopy shows the rates consistent with kinetics derived from chromatographic evidence in the aqueous phase and verifies that hydrogenation of phenol and cyclohexanone follows reaction orders of 1.0 and 0.55 over Pd/C, respectively. Conversion of cyclohexanol with HZSM-5 shows first-order dependence in approaching the dehydration-hydration equilibrium in the aqueous phase. Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB In this work we announce and evaluate a high throughput virtual screening pipeline for in-silico screening of ing (HPC). Notable features of this pipeline are an automated receptor preparation scheme with unsupervised binding site identification. The pipeline includes receptor/target preparation, ligand preparation, VinaLC docking calculation, and molecular mechanics/generalized Born surface area (MM/ GBSA) rescoring using the GB model by Onufriev and coworkers [J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2007, 3, 156-169]. Furthermore, we leverage HPC resources to perform an unprecedented, comprehensive evaluation of MM/GBSA rescoring when applied to the DUD-E data set (Directory Useful Decoys: Enhanced), in which we selected 38 protein targets and a total of similar to 0.7 million actives and decoys. The computer wall time for virtual screening has been reduced drastically on HPC machines, which increases the feasibility of extremely large ligand database screening with more accurate methods. HPC resources allowed us to rescore 20 poses per compound and evaluate the optimal number of poses to rescore. We find that keeping 5-10 poses is a good compromise between accuracy and computational expense. Overall the results demonstrate that MM/GBSA rescoring has higher average receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area under curve (AUC) values and consistently better early recovery of actives than Vina docking alone. Specifically, the enrichment performance is target-dependent. MM/GBSA rescoring significantly out performs Vina docking for the folate enzymes, kinases, and several other enzymes. The more accurate energy function and solvation terms of the MM/ GBSA method allow MM/GBSA to achieve better enrichment, but the rescoring is still limited by the docking method to generate the poses with the correct binding modes.

AB The dioxin-degrading bacterium Pseudomonas mendocina strain NSYSU (NSYSU strain) has been isolated from dioxin-contaminated soil by selective enrichment techniques. In the present study, the NSYSU strain was investigated for its capability to biodegrade polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. High-resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and a chemically activated luciferase gene expression bioassay were performed to determine the presence of dioxin compounds. The results indicate that the NSYSU strain could degrade PCDDs and PCDFs under anaerobic conditions in liquid cultures. The main intermediates of the dechlorination process were identified. The results of the bioreactor test indicate that the NSYSU strain could also degrade PCDDs and PCDFs effectively in soil slurries under aerobic conditions. Results from the bioreactor experiment show that approximately 98 and 97% of octachlorodibenzofuran and OCDD were degraded, respectively. The dioxin concentrations in soil slurry decreased from 5823 to 1198 pg toxic equivalency g(-1), resulting in total dioxin removal of 79%. These first findings suggest that the NSYSU strain has the potential to be an effective tool for the bioremediation of soils contaminated with highly recalcitrant organic compounds.

AB The structural and dynamical properties of rapidly quenched Al are studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The pair-correlation function of high temperature liquid Al agrees well with the experimental results. Different cooling rates are applied with high cooling rates leading to glass formation, while low cooling rates leading to crystallization. The local structures are characterized by Honeycutt Andersen indices and Voronoi tessellation analysis. The results show that for high cooling rates, the local structures of the liquid and glassy Al are predominated by icosahedral clusters, together with considerable amount of face-centered cubic and hexagonal close packed short-range orders. These short-range order results are further confirmed using the recently developed atomic cluster alignment method. Moreover, the atomic cluster alignment clearly shows the crystal nucleation process in supercooled liquid of Al. Finally, the mean square displacement for the liquid is also analyzed, and the corresponding diffusion coefficient as a function of temperature is calculated. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

In-situ high energy X-ray diffraction, STEM and electrochemical characterizations confirmed the composite nature of the material. We mainly found that the layered components belonging to the R (3) over barm and C2/m like-phases formed stepwise following the thermal decomposition and reaction of Li2CO3. Solid diffusion at high-temperature with extended calcination times cannot change the composite nature. (C) 2013 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.

Efficiency for Lithium-Ion Batteries

AB A homologous series of propylene carbonate (PC) analog solvents with increasing length of linear alkyl substitutes were synthesized and used as co-solvents with PC for graphite-based lithium-ion half cells. A graphite anode reaches a capacity of around 310 mAh/g in PC and its analog co-solvents, with 99.95 percent Coulombic efficiency, similar to the values obtained with ethylene carbonate-based electrolytes. Solvent interaction with the graphite anode and subsequent decomposition determines the graphite anode performance. Gaseous products from cyclic carbonates with short alkyl chains cause exfoliation of the graphite anode; solvents with longer alkyl chains are able to prevent graphite exfoliation when used as co-solvents with PC. The PC co-solvents compete for solvation of the Li ion with the PC solvent, delaying PC co-intercalation. Reduction products of PC on a graphite surface via a single-electron path form a stable Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SET), which allows the reversible cycling of graphite.

AB Electrocatalysts for the bifunctional oxygen electrode for a PEM fuel cell/electrolyzer process need to be active and stable toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this work, Pt-Ir was synthesized supported on TiC and studied as a viable candidate to use as an oxygen electrode. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were performed to measure electrochemical activity and compared with supported Pt and Ir on TiC, as well as commercial forms of unsupported Pt and Ir. It was determined that Pt-Ir on TiC outperformed the other electrocatalysts studied with a round trip efficiency of 65%. (C) 2013 The Electrochemical Society.

AB Graphene and ionic liquids are promising candidates for electrode materials and electrolytes, respectively, for modern energy storage devices such as supercapacitors. Understanding the interactions at the interfacial region between these materials is crucial for optimizing the overall performance and efficiency of supercapacitors. The interfacial region between graphene and an imidazolium-based ionic liquid is analyzed in a combined experimental and computational study. This dual approach reveals that the imidazolium-based cations mostly orient themselves parallel to the graphene surface due to pi-pi stacking interaction and form a primary interfacial layer, which is subsequently capped by a layer of anions from the ionic liquid. However, it also becomes apparent that the molecular interplay at the interfacial region is highly influenced by functional group defects on the graphene surface, in particular by hydroxyl groups.

AB Martensitic transformation usually creates hierarchical internal structures beyond mere change of the atomic crystal structure. Multi-stage nucleation is thus required, where nucleation (level-1) of the under-lying atomic crystal lattice does not have to be immediately followed by the nucleation of higher-order superstructures (level-2 and above), such as polysynthetic laths. Using in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we directly observe the nucleation of the level-2 superstructure in a Cu-Al-Ni single crystal under compression, with critical super-nuclei size L-2c around 500 nm. When the sample size D decreases below L-2c, the superelasticity behavior changes from a flat stress plateau to a continuously rising stress-strain curve. Such size dependence definitely would impact the application of shape memory alloys in miniaturized MEMS/NEMS devices.

AB Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), an herbal Chinese medicine, has shown medicinal uses in therapeutics and cancer prevention. Dibenzoylmethane (DBM; 1, 3-diphenyl-1, 3-propadinedione), a small beta-diketone, has been reported to be a minor constituent of licorice and a known deregulator of the human prostate cancer cell cycle. Characterization of the phytochemical profiles of licorice root forms including commercially available DBM will advance our search in identifying novel reagents for prostate cancer therapeutics. Gas chromatography- triple quadrupole-mass spectrometric analysis was used for detecting DBM in licorice root extracts. DBM and all licorice forms exhibited a component with a retention time of 14.5 minutes. The major fragment ions detected were at m/z 77, 105, 147, 223 and 224 at the identified retention time by selected reaction monitoring/SRM. These data confirm the presence of DBM from its natural source (G. glabra), and the GC-MS/SRM method helps in the identification of this minor component in a complex biological matrix.

AB Graphene and hexagonal boron nitride are typical conductor and insulator, respectively, while their hybrids hexagonal boron carbonitride are promising as a semiconductor. Here we demonstrate a direct chemical conversion reaction, which systematically converts the hexagonal carbon lattice of graphene to boron nitride, making it possible to produce uniform boron nitride and boron carbonitride structures without disrupting the structural integrity of the original graphene templates. We synthesize high-quality atomic layer films with boron-, nitrogen-and carbon-containing atomic layers with full range of compositions. Using this approach, the electrical resistance, carrier mobilities and bandgaps of these atomic layers can be tuned from conductor to semiconductor to insulator. Combining this technique with lithography, local conversion could be realized at the nanometre scale, enabling the fabrication of in-plane atomic layer structures consisting of graphene, boron nitride and boron carbonitride. This is a step towards scalable synthesis of atomically thin two-dimensional integrated circuits.

AB Lithium-sulphur batteries have high theoretical energy density and potentially low cost, but significant challenges such as severe capacity degradation prevent its widespread adoption. Here we report a new design of lithium-sulphur battery using electrically connected graphite and lithium metal as a hybrid anode to control undesirable surface reactions on lithium. Lithiated graphite placed in front of the lithium metal functions as an artificial, self-regulated solid electrolyte interface layer to actively control the electrochemical reactions and minimize the deleterious side reactions, leading to significant performance improvements. Lithium-sulphur cells incorporating this hybrid anodes deliver capacities of >800 mAhg(-1) for 400 cycles at a high rate of 1,737mAg(-1), with only 11% capacity fade and a Coulombic efficiency >99%. This simple hybrid concept may also provide scientific strategies for protecting metal anodes in other energy-storage devices.

AB In polycrystalline semiconductors, grain boundaries are often sites with prevalence for electron-hole recombination and various strategies have been followed to minimize grain boundary areas. Generally, large grains or epitaxial films can be obtained at high temperatures. However, high growth temperatures limit the choice of substrate materials and can prove elusive for semiconductors comprising volatile elements such as kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4. Here we show that this limitation can be overcome by a transition of a matrix of densely packed metastable nanorods into large stable grains. Real-time analysis reveals that the grain growth is driven by a direct, isocompositional solid-state phase transition. Following this route, semiconductor films with a large-grained microstructure can be achieved within a few seconds at relatively low temperatures. Grain size as well as electrical and optical properties of the resulting films can be controlled via the heating rate. This synthesis route opens new possibilities for the fabrication of semiconductor crystals for photoelectric devices with tailored microstructures.

AB The manipulation of magnetic ordering with applied electric fields is of pressing interest for new magnetoelectric devices and information storage applications. Recently, such magnetoelectric control was realized in multiferroics. However, their magnetoelectric switching is often accompanied by significant hysteresis, resulting from a large barrier, separating different ferroic states. Hysteresis prevents robust switching, unless the applied field overcomes a certain value (coercive field). Here we address the role of a switching barrier on magnetoelectric control, and identify a material, collinear antiferromagnetic and pyroelectric Ni3TeO6, in which magnetoelectric switching occurs without hysteresis. The barrier between two magnetic states in the vicinity of a spin-flop transition is almost flat, and thus small changes in external electric/magnetic fields allow to switch the ferroic state through an intermediate state in a continuous manner, resulting in a colossal magnetoelectric response. This colossal magnetoelectric effect resembles the large piezoelectric effect at the morphotropic phase boundary in ferroelectrics.

AB Direct conversion of light into mechanical work, known as the photomechanical effect, is an emerging field of research, largely driven by the development of novel molecular and polymeric material systems. However, the fundamental impediment is that the previously explored materials and structures do not simultaneously offer fast and wavelength-selective response, reversible actuation, low-cost fabrication and large deflection. Here, we demonstrate highly versatile photoactuators, oscillators and motors based on polymer/single-walled carbon nanotube bilayers that meet all the above requirements. By utilizing nanotubes with different chirality distributions, chromatic actuators that are responsive to selected wavelength ranges are achieved. The bilayer structures are further configured as smart 'curtains' and light-driven motors, demonstrating two examples of envisioned applications.

AB The conserved MHF1-MHF2 (MHF) complex functions in the activation of the Fanconi anaemia pathway of the DNA damage response, in regulating homologous recombination, and in DNA replication fork maintenance. MHF facilitates the processing of multiple types of branched DNAs by the DNA translocase FANCM. Here we report the crystal structure of a human MHF-DNA complex that reveals the DNA-binding mode of MHF. The structure suggests that MHF prefers branched DNA over double-stranded DNA because it engages two duplex arms. Biochemical analyses verify that MHF preferentially engages DNA forks or various four-way junctions independent of the junction-site structure. Furthermore, genetic experiments provide evidence that the observed DNA-binding interface of MHF is important for cellular resistance to DNA damage. These results offer insights into how the MHF complex recognizes branched DNA and stimulates FANCM activity at such a structure to promote genome maintenance.

TI Toward More Transparent and Reproducible Omics Studies Through a Common
Metadata Checklist and Data Publications
SO OMICS-A JOURNAL OF INTEGRATIVE BIOLOGY
LA English
DT Editorial Material
ID MINIMUM INFORMATION
AB Biological processes are fundamentally driven by complex interactions between biomolecules. Integrated high-throughput omics studies enable multifaceted views of cells, organisms, or their communities. With the advent of new post-genomics technologies, omics studies are becoming increasingly prevalent; yet the full impact of these studies can only be realized through data harmonization, sharing, meta-analysis, and integrated research. These essential steps require consistent generation, capture, and distribution of metadata. To ensure transparency, facilitate data harmonization, and maximize reproducibility and usability of life sciences studies, we propose a simple common omics metadata checklist. The proposed checklist is built on the rich ontologies and standards already in use by the life sciences community. The checklist will serve as a common denominator to guide experimental design, capture important parameters, and be used as a standard format for stand-alone data publications. The omics metadata checklist and data publications will create efficient linkages between omics data and knowledge-based life sciences innovation and, importantly, allow for appropriate attribution to data generators and infrastructure science builders in the post-genomics era. We ask that the life sciences community test the proposed omics metadata checklist and data publications and provide feedback for their use and improvement.

AB Divalent Eu is a common luminescence activator in inorganic scintillators due to its allowed 5d-4f transitions. Since Eu can exist in both divalent and trivalent states, but only luminescence from divalent Eu is suitable for scintillation applications, it is important to determine the potential presence of trivalent Eu in the crystal. We report measurements of Eu(II) and Eu(III) in the new CsSrI3:Eu scintillator using X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Single crystals of CsSr0.93Eu0.07I3 were grown from the melt via the Bridgman method using EuI2 powder as a source of divalent Eu activators. The X-ray absorption spectra on the Eu M-4 and M-5 edges were obtained at beamline 4.0.2 at the Advanced Light Source synchrotron. The results were compared to model samples of trivalent and divalent europium, which provided clear signatures of the two oxidation states. The measured electronic structure of Eu confirms predominant Eu(II) in both the EuI2 starting material and the CsSr0.93Eu0.07I3 scintillator crystals. However, a small presence of Eu(111) points to the partial oxidation of europium, especially at the sample surface. 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Progress in materials science through thermodynamic modelling may rest crucially on access to a database, such as that developed by Scientific Group Thermodata Europe (SGTE) around 1990. It gives the Gibbs energy G(T) of the elements in the form of series as a function of temperature, i.e. essentially a curve fitting to experimental data. In the light of progress in theoretical understanding and first-principles calculation methods, the possibility for an improved database description of the thermodynamics of the elements has become evident. It is the purpose of this paper to provide a framework for such work. Lattice vibrations, which usually give the major contribution to G(T), are treated in some detail with a discussion of neutron scattering studies of anharmonicity in aluminium, first-principles calculations including ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), and the strength and weakness of analytic model representations of data. Similarly, electronic contributions to G(T) are treated on the basis of the density of states N(E) for metals, with emphasis on effects at high T. Further, we consider G(T) below 300K, which is not covered by SGTE. Other parts in the paper discuss metastable and dynamically unstable lattices, G(T) in the region of superheated solids and the requirement on a database in the calculation of phase diagrams.

AB A World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) project entitled the Science of Nowcasting Olympic Weather for Vancouver 2010 (SNOW-V10) was developed to be associated with the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games conducted between 12 February and 21 March 2010. The SNOW-V10 international team augmented the instrumentation associated with the Winter Games and several new numerical weather forecasting and nowcasting models were added. Both the additional observational and model data were available to the forecasters in real time. This was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate existing capability in nowcasting and to develop better techniques for short term (0-6 h) nowcasts of winter weather in complex terrain. Better techniques to forecast visibility, low cloud, wind gusts, precipitation rate and type were evaluated. The weather during the games was exceptionally variable with many periods of low visibility, low ceilings and precipitation in the form of both snow and rain. The data collected should improve our understanding of many physical phenomena such as the diabatic effects due to melting snow, wind flow around and over terrain, diurnal flow reversal in valleys associated with daytime heating, and precipitation reductions and increases due to local terrain. Many studies related to these phenomena are described in the Special Issue on SNOW-V10 for which this paper was written. Numerical weather prediction and nowcast models have been evaluated against the unique observational data set now available. It is anticipated that the data set and the knowledge learned as a result of SNOW-V10 will become a resource for other World Meteorological Organization member states who are interested in improving forecasts of winter weather.

AB An innovative monitoring network was implemented to support the operational and science programs for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. It consisted of in situ weather stations on custom-designed platforms. The sensors included an HMP45C for temperature, humidity and pressure, a tipping bucket rain gauge, an acoustic snow depth sensor, a Pluvio 1 precipitation gauge and an anemometer placed at gauge height and at 10 m height. Modifications to commercial automated precipitation gauges were necessary for the heavy snowfall conditions. Advanced or emerging technologies were deployed to support scientific and nowcasting studies into precipitation intensity, typing, visibility and wind. The sensors included an FD12P visibility and precipitation sensor, a precipitation occurrence sensing system (POSS) present weather sensor, a Hotplate precipitation sensor and a Parsivel disdrometer. Data were collected at 1 min sampling intervals. A Doppler weather radar was deployed in a valley location and provided critical detailed low-level data. An X-band dual-polarized radar was deployed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to monitor Vancouver and Cypress Mountain. Three remote sensing stations for vertical profiling were established. At the base of Whistler Mountain, a micro-rain radar, a 22-channel radiometer, a ceilometer, a Parsivel and a POSS were installed. At the base of Cypress Mountain, a micro-rain radar, a ceilometer, a low cost rain sensor (LCR by ATTEX) and a POSS were installed. At Squamish, a wind profiler and a POSS were installed. Weather sensors were mounted on the Whistler Village Gondola and on the Peak to Peak gondola. Sites were established along the Whistler Mountain slope and at other key locations. The combination of sites and instruments formed a comprehensive network to provide observations appropriate for nowcasting in winter complex terrain and investigate precipitation, visibility and wind processes. The contribution provides a detailed description of the network, their sensors, the innovations and some examples.

FX The project could not be successfully accomplished without the
contribution and the professionalism of many people who contributed to
the project beyond their normal roles. Al Wallace was the overall lead
for the Olympic Project and provided substantial support for data
sharing and collaboration between operations and science. In addition to
many of the authors, Drew Pawley and George Davies of MSC PYR installed,
maintained and supported the OAN stations with a number of others
helping to make the OAN a success. The Whistler radar and Squamish Wind
Profiler projects were led by Frank Mirecki and staff, with significant
support from Ron Ruff and Christine Best. The upper air program was
organized and led by Bruce Lohnes and staff especially Jack Bowling. A
special acknowledgement goes to the Department of National Defense for
their operation of an additional radiosonde at Comox during The Games.
Robert Reed and Michael Harwood and Steve Bacic supported the
V10-SCIENCE installations. Drew Pawley and Steve Bacic deserve mention
for solving and re-programming the data loggers to record and transmit
the minutely data from the OAN sites. Juniper Buller provided on-site
support and maintenance. Monika Bailey, Elizabeth Gow and Karen Haynes
provided on-site logistical support. Ka Sung provided data acquisition
support. Anne-Marie Macdonald made data available from the Peak site.
Rodica Nitu graciously provided a Parsivel and POSS for both the Beijing
and Vancouver Olympic projects. Michael Virdi, Lorrie Stedel and Kaveh
Afshar provided considerable support for the radar processing software.
Search And Rescue New Initiative Funding (SAR-NIF) provided additional
support for the RND site led by I. Gultepe to study fog and low
visibility conditions at cold temperatures as a part of FRAM (Fog Remote
Sensing and Modeling) project. Ric Adams, Valery Melinkov, David
Prignitz, Heather Reeves, Alexander Rhyzkov, Terry Schurr, Bob Staples,
Dusan Zrnic, and David Warde of NSSL manned the NO-XP radar. Arkadi
Koldaev of the Central Aerological Observatory (Russia) provided the LCR
sensor. Tatiana Bablova of Institute of Radar Meteorology (St.
Petersburg) coined the phrase GOMDAR (Gondola Meteorological Data and
Acquisition Relay). The on-site snow micro-photography activity was
partially supported by the SNOWSAT project of the Canadian Space Agency
as part of the Atmospheric Processes of Climate Change Program to
determine the requirements and specification for a space borne snow
radar. Funding for Hannah Carmichael, Alex Laplante, Teresa Fisico and
Ron Stewart was provided by National Science and Engineering Research
Council. Walter Dabberdt, Herb Winston and George Frederick of Vaisala
provided valuable advice on instrumentation and site selection for the
wind profiler. Randolph Ware and Nico Cimini provided several innovative
suggestions on best use and processing of the radiometer. Doug Forseth
and Doug Mcfarlane of Whistler-Blackcomb Mountain provided key support
without which the installations could not proceed relatively smoothly.
Anton Horvath and Jan Davies, snow avalanche forecasters at
Whistler-Blackcomb, provided on-site support and valuable advice about
the weather on Whistler. The mid-mountain cloud that originated at
Raven's Nest (VOL) was named after Harvey Fellowes of Whistler. Harvey
lived at Raven's Nest for many years, was a World Cup ski race official
and worked for Whistler-Blackcomb.; He shared his considerable knowledge
of the weather and provided considerable insight on "Harvey's Cloud"
that contributed to the design considerations of the science component
of V10 monitoring network. His anecdotal description of Harvey's cloud
proved to match the scientific studies and observations.

AB Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices have enabled significant advancements in medical, biological, and chemical analysis. However, widespread adoption of these devices in, clinical settings and academic environments has been impeded by a lack of a reliable, adaptable, and easy-to-use packaging technology. In this work, we introduce a rapid, prototyped modular microfluidic interconnect that addresses these challenges of the, world-to-chip interface. The interconnect, a flexible polymer gasket co-printed with, rigid clamps, eliminates adhesives and additional assembly by direct multi-material 3D, printing from a computer-aided design model. The device represents the first, application of multi-material 3D printing to microfluidic interconnects, and it can be, rapidly re-designed and printed, and has demonstrated the ability to withstand, pressures exceeding 400 kPa.

DT Article
DE MEMS; High; Bandwidth; Embedded; Shock sensor
AB We present a novel force sensor to measure large forces over a wide bandwidth (from static loads to 100's of kHz) for use as a shock sensor in challenging environments. The sensor is configured as a washer with embedded MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) piezo-resistive doped polysilicon sensing elements. The silicon sensing elements utilize photolithographically patterned strain gages on deforming sense plates to provide a high sensitivity linear response (1-10 mV/1000 lbf, 0.2-2 mV/kN) to input loads of up to 10,000 lbf (45,000 N). Higher loads are achievable by implementing relatively simple design changes, for instance a thicker or smaller diameter sense plate. Very small silicon sensor elements (as small as 10-100 mu m in diameter) allow multiple sensors to be embedded in the washer to provide redundant load measurement and the determination of load direction. Readily available engineering materials FR4 (epoxy circuit board), copper, Kapton (polyimide), and steel are used to package the silicon sensor die in a sandwich that protects the brittle silicon allowing it to survive high magnitude impact loads. The design procedures presented allow the sensor designer to control the stress level at the silicon sensor die and therefore the effective load range of the sensor, while maintaining a high signal to noise ratio (>100:1).

AB Simulations are used to explore the possibility of achieving breakdown voltage scaling using deep acceptors in the buffer for AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. The existence of an optimal range of deep level acceptor density (10(17) cm(-3)), for which the electric field shows the most uniform distribution over the entire L-gd is demonstrated. The peak electric field can be capped off at a certain value, which can be engineered using deep level defects to be less than the critical electric field for GaN or the critical field for punch-through, whichever is lower. Following the saturation in peak electric field, the additional applied voltage spreads across the device access region. Thus, precise control of defect incorporation in the GaN buffer is shown to be a key factor in achieving high breakdown voltage HEMTs with improved unipolar figure of merit. A novel scheme for the source and drain contacts, using shallow mesa etch and partial mesa sidewall oxidation to increase the allowed range of variation in optimal acceptor density to achieve uniform electric field distribution is presented.

AB In this work, we present a form of extremum seeking (ES) in which the unknown function being minimized enters the system's dynamics as the argument of a cosine or sine term, thereby guaranteeing known bounds on update rates and control efforts. We present general n-dimensional optimization and stabilization results as well as 2D vehicle control, with bounded velocity and control efforts. For application to autonomous vehicles, tracking a source in a GPS denied environment with unknown orientation, this ES approach allows for smooth heading angle actuation, with constant velocity, and in application to a unicycle-type vehicle results in control ability as if the vehicle is fully actuated. Our stability analysis is made possible by the classic results of Kurzweil, Jarnik, Sussmann, and Liu, regarding systems with highly oscillatory terms. In our stability analysis, we combine the averaging results with a semiglobal practical stability result under small parametric perturbations developed by Moreau and Aeyels.

AB Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a critical role in innate immunity, but activation of TLR signaling pathways is also associated with many harmful inflammatory diseases. Identification of novel anti-inflammatory molecules targeting TLR signaling pathways is central to the development of new treatment approaches for acute and chronic inflammation. We performed high-throughput screening from crude marine sponge extracts on TLR5. signaling and identified girolline. We demonstrated that girolline inhibits signaling through both MyD88-dependent and -independent. TLRs (i.e., TLR2, 3, 4, 5, and 7) and reduces cytokine (IL-6 and IL-8) production in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and macrophages. Using a chemical genomics approach, we identified Elongation Factor 2 as the molecular target of girolline, which inhibits protein synthesis at the elongation step. Together these data identify the sponge natural product girolline as a potential anti-inflammatory agent acting through inhibition of protein synthesis.

AB Protein reduction oxidation (redox) modification is an important mechanism that allows microorganisms to sense environmental changes and initiate cellular responses. We have developed a quantitative chemical probe approach for live cell labeling and imaging of proteins that are sensitive to redox modifications. We utilize this in vivo strategy to identify 176 proteins undergoing similar to 5-10-fold dynamic redox change in response to nutrient limitation and subsequent replenishment in the photoautotrophic cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002. We detect redox changes in as little as 30 s after nutrient perturbation and oscillations in reduction and oxidation for 60 min following the perturbation. Many of the proteins undergoing dynamic redox transformations participate in the major components for the production (photosystems and electron transport chains) or consumption (Calvin-Benson cycle and protein synthesis) of reductant and/or energy in photosynthetic organisms. Thus, our in vivo approach reveals new redox-susceptible proteins and validates those previously identified in vitro.

AB We utilize CdSe/CdS seeded nanorods as a tunable lumophore for luminescent concentration. Transfer-printed, ultrathin crystalline Si solar cells are embedded directly into the luminescent concentrator, allowing the study of luminescent concentrators with an area over 5000 times the area of the solar cell. By increasing the size of the CdS rod with respect to the luminescent CdSe seed, the reabsorption of propagating photons is dramatically reduced. At long luminescence propagation distances, this reduced reabsorption can overcome the diminished quantum yield inherent to the larger semiconductor structures, which is studied with lifetime spectroscopy. A Monte Carlo ray tracing model is developed to explain the performance of the luminescent concentrator and is then used as a design tool to determine the effect of luminescence trapping on the concentration of light using both CdSe/CdS nanorods and a model organic dye. We design an efficient luminescence trapping structure that should allow the luminescent concentrator based on CdSe/CdS nanorods to operate in the high-concentration regime.

AB Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been widely used for biological applications in recent years, and thus, it is critical to understand how these inert nanomaterials influence cell behavior. Recently, it has been observed that cellular phenotypes such as proliferation, force generation and growth change upon SWCNT treatment, and SWCNTs directly affect the organization and redistribution of the actin cytoskeleton. However, the interactions between SWCNTs and actin at the molecular level or how this interaction changes actin structure remain largely unknown. Here, we investigated direct interaction of actin with SWCNT using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations and NIR spectroscopy of actin-dispersed SWCNTs. Actin can stably bind to the SWCNT surfaces via hydrophobic interactions but still allows nanotubes to slide and rotate on the actin surface. Our results establish several nanoscale conformational changes for the actin SWCNT complexes, and we suggest these changes likely induce reorganization of actin filaments observed at larger scales.

AB Nanostructured grating surfaces with groove widths less than 200 nm impose boundary conditions that frustrate the natural molecular orientational ordering within thin films of blended polymer semiconductor poly(3-hexlythiophene) and phenyl-C-61-butyric acid methyl ester, as revealed by grazing incidence X-ray scattering measurements. Polymer interactions with the grating sidewall strongly inhibit the polymer lamellar alignment parallel to the substrate typically found in planar films, in favor of alignment perpendicular to this orientation, resulting in a preferred equilibrium molecular configuration difficult to achieve by other means. Grating surfaces reduce the relative population of the parallel orientation from 30% to less than 5% in a 400 nm thick film. Analysis of in-plane X-ray scattering with respect to grating orientation shows polymer backbones highly oriented to within 10 degrees of parallel to the groove direction.

AB The effects of thin-film confinement on the material properties of ultrathin polymer (electron donor):fullerene (electron acceptor) bulk heterojunction films can be important for both fundamental understanding and device applications such as thin-film photovoltaics. We use variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry and near edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy to measure the optical constants, donor acceptor volume fraction profile, and the degree of interchain order as a function of the thickness of a poly(3-hexythlophene-2,5-diyl) and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester bulk heterojunction film. We find that as the thickness of the bulk heterojunction film is decreased from 200 nm to the thickness confinement regime (less than 20 nm), the vertical phase segregation gradient of the donor and acceptor phases becomes less pronounced. In addition, observing the change in exciton bandwidth and the shift of absorption resonances (0-0 and 0-1) relative to neat donor and acceptor films, we find that the conjugation length and disorder in ultrathin films (20 nm) are less affected than thicker (200 nm) films by the addition of fullerene into the polymer. We believe that these findings could be important for discovering methods of precisely controlling the properties of bulk heterojunction films with crucial implications for designing more efficient organic-based photovoltaics.

AB Diverse processes that include energy conversion, wettability, lubrication, adhesion, and surface-directed phase separation in mixtures fundamentally depend on the structure and dynamics of materials' surfaces and interfaces. We report an unusual phenomenon wherein the surface viscosity of polymer nanocomposites of polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl methyl ether (PVME), and PS-coated gold nanoparticles (PS/PVME/PS-Au) is over an order of magnitude smaller than that of the neat miscible PS/PVME blend. Our X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy studies of the surface dynamics also reveal that the polymer chains manifest dynamics associated with two separate average compositional environments: a PVME-rich region, significantly in excess of its bulk concentration, and a separate PS-rich environment, where the dynamics are approximately 2 orders of magnitude slower. The unusually rapid surface dynamics in the PS/PVME/PS-Au nanocomposite are due largely to the excess PVME chains and the polymer/brush-coated nanoparticle interactions at the free surface.

AB We developed a simple non-hot-injection synthetic route that achieves in situ halide-passivated PbS and PbSe quantum dots (QDs) and simplifies the fabrication of Pb-chalcogenide QD solar cells. The synthesis mechanism follows a temperature-dependent diffusion growth model leading to strategies that can achieve narrow size distributions for a range of sizes. We show that PbS QDs can be produced with a diameter as small as 2.2 nm, corresponding to a 1.7 eV band gap, while the resulting size distribution (6-7%) is comparable to that of hot-injection syntheses. The in situ chloride surface passivation is demonstrated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and an improved photostability of both PbS and PbSe QDs when stored under air. Additionally, the photoluminescence quantum yield of the PbS QDs is similar to 30% higher compared to the traditional synthesis. We show that PbS QD solar cells with 65% power conversion efficiency (PCE) can be constructed. Finally, we fabricated PbSe QD solar cells in air (rather than in inert atmosphere), achieving a PCE of 2.65% using relatively large QDs with a corresponding band gap of 0.89 eV.

AB We report the synthesis of hierarchical structured nanocrystals through an interfacial self-assembly driven microemulsion (mu-emulsion) process. An optically active macrocyclic building block Sn (IV) meso-tetraphenylporphine dichloride (tin porphyrin) is used to initiate noncovalent self-assembly confined within mu-emulsion droplets. In-situ studies of dynamic light scattering, UV-vis spectroscopy, and electron microscopy, as well as optical imaging of reaction processes suggest an evaporation-induced nucleation and growth self-assembly mechanism. The resulted nanocrystals exhibit uniform shapes and sizes from ten to a hundred nanometers. Because of the spatial ordering of tin porphyrin, the hierarchical nanoaystals exhibit collective optical properties resulting from the coupling of molecular tin porphyrin and photocatalytic activities in the reduction of platinum nanoparticles and networks and in photodegradation of methyl orange (MO) pollutants.

AB Leidenfrost phenomena on nano- and microstructured surfaces are of great importance for increasing control over heat transfer in high power density systems utilizing boiling phenomena. They also provide an elegant means to direct droplet motion in a variety of recently emerging fluidic systems. Here, we report the fabrication and characterization of tilted nanopillar arrays (TNPAs) that exhibit directional Leidenfrost water droplets under dynamic conditions, namely on impact with Weber numbers >= 40 at T >= 325 degrees C. The directionality for these droplets is opposite to the direction previously exhibited by macro- and microscale Leidenfrost ratchets where movement against the tilt of the ratchet was observed. The batch fabrication of the TNPAs was achieved by glancing-angle anisotropic reactive ion etching of a thermally dewet platinum mask, with mean pillar diameters of 100 nm and heights of 200-500 nm. In contrast to previously implemented macro- and microscopic Leidenfrost ratchets, our TNPAs induce no preferential directional movement of Leidenfrost droplets under conditions approaching steady-state film boiling, suggesting that the observed droplet directionality is not a result of the widely accepted mechanism of asymmetric vapor flow. Using high-speed imaging, phase diagrams were constructed for the boiling behavior upon impact for droplets falling onto TNPAs, straight nanopillar arrays, and smooth silicon surfaces. The asymmetric impact and directional trajectory of droplets was exclusive to the TNPAs for impacts corresponding to the transition boiling regime, linking asymmetric surface wettability to preferential directionality of dynamic Leidenfrost droplets on nanostructured surfaces.

AB Magnetoelectric oxide heterostructures are proposed active layers for spintronic memory and logic devices, where information is conveyed through spin transport in the solid state. Incomplete theories of the coupling between local strain, charge, and magnetic order have limited their deployment into new information and communication technologies. In this study, we report direct, local measurements of strain-and charge-mediated magnetization changes in the La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 system using spatially resolved characterization techniques in both real and reciprocal space. Polarized neutron reflectometry reveals a graded magnetization that results from both local structural distortions and interfacial screening of bound surface charge from the adjacent ferroelectric. Density functional theory calculations support the experimental observation that strain locally suppresses through a change in the Mn-e(g) orbital polarization. We suggest that this local coupling and magnetization suppression may be tuned by controlling the manganite and ferroelectric layer thicknesses, with direct implications for device applications.

AB Silicon (Si) nanomaterials have emerged as a leading candidate for next generation lithium-ion battery anodes. However, the low electrical conductivity of Si requires the use of conductive additives in the anode film. Here we report a solution-based synthesis of Si nanowires with a conductive carbon skin. Without any conductive additive, the Si nanowire electrodes exhibited capacities of over 2000 mA h g(-1) for 100 cycles when cycled at C/10 and over 1200 mA h g(-1) when cycled more rapidly at 1C against Li metal. In situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation reveals that the carbon skin performs dual roles: it speeds lithiation of the Si nanowires significantly, while also constraining the final volume expansion. The present work sheds light on ways to optimize lithium battery performance by smartly tailoring the nanostructure of composition of materials based on silicon and carbon.

AB We examine the stability of excitons in quantum-confined InP nanocrystals as a function of temperature elevation up to 800 K. Through the use of static and time-resolved spectroscopy, we find that small inorganic capping ligands substantially improve the temperature dependent photoluminescence quantum yield relative to native organic ligands and perform similarly to a wide band gap inorganic shell. For this composition, we identify the primary exciton loss mechanism as electron trapping through a combination of transient absorption and transient photoluminescence measurements. Density functional theory indicates little impact of studied inorganic ligands on InP core states, suggesting that reduced thermal degradation relative to organic ligands yields improved stability; this is further supported by a lack of size dependence in photoluminescence quenching, pointing to the dominance of surface processes, and by relative thermal stabilities of the surface passivating media. Thus, small inorganic ligands, which benefit device applications due to improved carrier access, also improve the electronic integrity of the material during elevated temperature operation and subsequent to high temperature material processing.

AB Exciton dissociation is a key step for the light energy conversion to electricity in organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. Here, excitonic dissociation pathways in the high-performance, low bandgap in-chain donor-acceptor polymer PTB7 by transient optical absorption (TA) spectroscopy in solutions, neat films, and bulk heterojunction (BHJ) PTB7:PC71BM (phenyl-C-71-butyric acid methyl ester) films are investigated. The dynamics and energetics of the exciton and intra-/intermolecular charge separated states are characterized. A distinct, dynamic, spectral red-shift of the polymer cation is observed in the BHJ films in TA spectra following electron transfer from the polymer to PC71BM, which can be attributed to the time evolution of the hole-electron spatial separation after exciton splitting. Effects of film morphology are also investigated and compared to those of conjugated homopolymers. The enhanced charge separation along the PTB7 alternating donor-acceptor backbone is understood by intramolecular charge separation through polarized, delocalized excitons that lower the exciton binding energy. Consequently, ultrafast charge separation and transport along these polymer backbones reduce carrier recombination in these largely amorphous films. This charge separation mechanism explains why higher degrees of PCBM intercalation within BHJ matrices enhances exciton splitting and charge transport, and thus increase OPV performance. This study proposes new guidelines for OPV materials development.

AB The synthesis, processing, and performance of a low-cost monolithic battery electrode, produced entirely of natural and renewable resources, are reported. This anode material exhibits tunable electrochemical performance suitable for both high power and high energy applications. A synthesis method that directly results in electrically interconnected three-dimensional architectures is presented, where the carbon framework functions as current collector and lithium insertion material, eliminating the extra mass and expense of inactive materials in conventional designs. Fibrous carbon electrode materials are produced from solvent extracted lignin using scalable melt processing technology and thermal conversion methods. The resulting free-standing electrodes exhibit comparable electrochemical performance to commercial carbon-based anodes at a fraction of the materials and processing costs. Compositional and electrochemical characterization shows that carbonized lignin has a disordered nano-crystalline microstructure. The carbonized mats cycle reversibly in conventional aprotic organic electrolytes with Coulombic efficiencies over 99.9%. Moreover, lignin carbon fibers carbonized at 2000 degrees C can cycle reversibly in 1 m LiPF6 in propylene carbonate.

AB Palladium wavy nanowires with an ultrathin diameter of 2 nm are synthesized using the polyol method without the involvement of any template. The success of this synthesis relies on the use of a suitable precursor that could be reduced instantaneously to generate a large number of small Pd nanoparticles. Due to a quick depletion of precursor, the small nanoparticles were unable to grow in size through atomic addition. In the case of low surface charges and high surface energies, these small nanoparticles were forced to coalesce into ultrathin nanowires with a wavy morphology via an attachment mechanism. Thanks to the unique structure and involvement of twin defects, the as-obtained Pd ultrathin nanowires show a catalytic current density of 2.5 times higher than the conventional Pd/C catalyst towards formic acid oxidation. This work not only offers a powerful route to the synthesis of nanowires through attachment-based growth but also opens the door to the rational design and fabrication of novel metal nanostructures with enhanced properties.

AB This manuscript reports the mixing behavior, interdiffusion, and depth profile of 1-[3-(methoxycarbonyl)propyl]-1-phenyl-[6,6]C-61 (PCBM):low-bandgap (LBG) polymer thin films that are formed by thermally annealing initial bilayers. The extent of mixing of PCBM is higher in polymers that include the 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BT) unit than in polymers that incorporate the 2,1,3-benzooxadiazole (BO) unit. This difference is ascribed to the enhanced mixing behavior of PCBM with the benzothiadiazole functionality than with benzooxadiazole functionality, which is attributed to preferred intermolecular interactions. The increased polymer/fullerene mixing is found to be crucial for optimal device performance. A decrease of polymer/fullerene mixing reduces the donor/acceptor interface, which lowers the probability of exciton dissociation and charge generation. Moreover, low PCBM mixing provides limited pathways for electron transport out of a miscible region, due to long distances between adjacent PCBM in such a miscible phase. This inhibits electron transport and increases the recombination of free charge carriers, resulting in a decrease in short circuit current and device performance. These results further exemplify the importance of the thermodynamic mixing behavior of the polymer:fullerene pair in designing next-generation conjugated polymers for organic photovoltaic (OPV) applications, as this controls the final morphology of the OPV active layer.

AB Land surface models are useful tools for estimating the contribution and response to climate change of C dynamics in various terrestrial ecosystems. In many land surface models, plant phenological algorithms are incorporated based on field studies in forests. However, to simulate adequately the C cycle over a large area, there is a need to include and validate algorithms for other ecosystems. The Carbon and Nitrogen-coupled Canadian Land Surface Scheme (CN-CLASS) is a land surface model that has been applied successfully to the study of C stocks in forest ecosystems. The objective of this study is to incorporate a simple crop phenology algorithm into CN-CLASS and validate its ability to simulate C cycles at an agricultural site in southern Ontario, Canada. The model was validated on a corn crop (Zea mays L.) in 2005 and 2008 based on measurements of aboveground biomass and net ecosystem productivity (NEP), as well as a well-tested agricultural model, DayCENT (the daily time-step version of the CENTURY model). The modified CN-CLASS showed similar dynamics of biomass allocation compared with field measurements and DayCENT simulations. Regression analysis indicated that the modifications improved the NEP simulation for a corn field, with the coefficient of determination (R-2) relating simulated and observed NEP increasing from 0.51 in the original CN-CLASS to 0.78 in the modified model. Other crop species could be further validated to expand the model application to crop rotation studies and large areas covered by forests and crop fields in consideration of land management practices.

AB Time-of-flight mass spectrometry along with statistical analysis was utilized to study metabolic profiles among rats fed resistant starch (RS) diets. Fischer 344 rats were fed four starch diets consisting of 55 % (w/w, dbs) starch. A control starch diet consisting of corn starch was compared against three RS diets. The RS diets were high-amylose corn starch (HA7), HA7 chemically modified with octenyl succinic anhydride, and stearic-acid-complexed HA7 starch. A subgroup received antibiotic treatment to determine if perturbations in the gut microbiome were long lasting. A second subgroup was treated with azoxymethane (AOM), a carcinogen. At the end of the 8-week study, cecal and distal colon content samples were collected from the sacrificed rats. Metabolites were extracted from cecal and distal colon samples into acetonitrile. The extracts were then analyzed on an accurate-mass time-of-flight mass spectrometer to obtain their metabolic profile. The data were analyzed using partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). The PLS-DA analysis utilized a training set and verification set to classify samples within diet and treatment groups. PLS-DA could reliably differentiate the diet treatments for both cecal and distal colon samples. The PLS-DA analyses of the antibiotic and no antibiotic-treated subgroups were well classified for cecal samples and modestly separated for distal colon samples. PLS-DA analysis had limited success separating distal colon samples for rats given AOM from those not treated; the cecal samples from AOM had very poor classification. Mass spectrometry profiling coupled with PLS-DA can readily classify metabolite differences among rats given RS diets.

AB A method is developed for approximating the properties of the state of a linear dynamic system driven by a broad class of non-Gaussian noise, namely, by polynomials of filtered Gaussian processes. The method involves four steps. First, the mean and correlation functions of the state of the system are calculated from those of the input noise. Second, higher order moments of the state are calculated based on Ito's formula for continuous semimartingales. It is shown that equations governing these moments are closed, so that moment of any order of the state can be calculated exactly. Third, a conceptually simple technique, which resembles the Galerkin method for solving differential equations, is proposed for constructing approximations for the marginal distribution of the state from its moments. Fourth, translation models are calibrated to representations of the marginal distributions of the state as well as its second moment properties. The resulting models can then be utilized to estimate properties of the state, such as the mean rate at which the state exits a safe set. The implementation of the proposed method is demonstrated by numerous examples, including the turbulence-induced random vibration of a flexible plate. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB In-situ aircraft measurements of aerosol chemical and cloud microphysical properties were conducted during the CalWater campaign in February and March 2011 over the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the coastal waters of central California. The main objective was to elucidate the impacts of aerosol properties on clouds and precipitation forming processes. In order to accomplish this, we compared contrasting cases of clouds that ingested aerosols from different sources. The results showed that clouds containing pristine oceanic air had low cloud drop concentrations and started to develop rain 500 m above their base. This occurred both over the ocean and over the Sierra Nevada, mainly in the early morning when the radiatively cooled stable continental boundary layer was decoupled from the cloud base. Supercooled rain dominated the precipitation that formed in growing convective clouds in the pristine air, up to the -21 degrees C isotherm level.
A contrasting situation was documented in the afternoon over the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, when the clouds ingested high pollution aerosol concentrations produced in the Central Valley. This led to slow growth of the cloud drop effective radius with height and suppressed and even prevented the initiation of warm rain while contributing to the development of ice hydrometeors in the form of graupel. Our results show that cloud condensation and ice nuclei were the limiting factors that controlled warm rain and ice processes, respectively, while the unpolluted clouds in the same air mass produced precipitation quite efficiently. These findings provide the motivation for deeper investigations into the nature of the aerosols seeding clouds. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Recent significant progress in the homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to formate (the conjugate base of formic acid) and dehydrogenation of formic acid in various solvents including water is summarized. While formic acid is not the perfect H-2 storage solution, many researchers consider it better than other methods at this time because the interconversion of CO2 and formic acid can take place cleanly to form H-2 without detectable CO under mild conditions. In this chapter, we explain how inspirations from biological systems guide us to design homogeneous transition-metal catalysts for carrying out the interconversion of CO2 and formate under ambient conditions in environmentally benign and economically desirable water solvent.

History-dependence; Non linearity; Unified laminated structure theory

AB A new, general theoretical framework for the generation of single-scale shell theories is presented. The framework is developed for application to the analysis of the general laminated and monolithic shells. The proposed framework is intended to allow the accurate prediction of the effects of material nonlinearity and wave propagation effects through the thickness of a shell.
The starting point for the framework is a general, single-scale description of the displacement field expressed in terms of arbitrary expansion functions through the thickness of the shell. The functional forms and orders for the expansion functions in the displacement field representation are arbitrary. The development of the governing equations for the theory is carried out using the general nonlinear equations of continuum mechanics referenced to the initial configuration within the context of general coordinate systems. The equations of motion and the lateral surface boundary conditions for the theory are derived using the method of moments over the domain of the expansion functions. The (arbitrary) top and bottom surface boundary conditions (BCs) are satisfied exactly. The interfacial constraints (continuity of tractions and (dis) continuity of displacements) are also satisfied exactly. Delamination effects are incorporated into the theory through the use of arbitrary functions relating the displacement jumps to appropriate state variables. These functions can be changed without the need for reformulation of the governing equations. The theory is formulated in a sufficiently general fashion that any type of history-dependent material model can be used to describe the history-dependent behavior of the material composing a layer without the need to reformulate the theory.
The theoretical framework is unified in the sense that any type of desired single scale shell (smear/equivalent single layer (ESL), discrete layer, or zig-zag) theory can be obtained through suitable specialization of the framework. In the case of a smeared or ESL representation the domain of the displacement representation applies across the entire thickness of the shell. To generate a zig-zag theory within the context of the proposed framework is simply a matter of carrying out the interfacial analysis appropriate to the zig-zag assumptions and substituting the resulting displacement representation into the framework and then proceeding as with a smeared/ESL theory. In the case of a discrete layer analysis the displacement representations applies across each of the individual domains. The domains may correspond to several layers, a lamina, or a sublamina. Thus, the framework represents a comprehensive approach to modeling shells.
The predictions of the theory are compared with the results obtained from an exact elastic solution for the static response of a sphere and the exact elastic solution for the dynamic response of monolithic sphere. Both exact solutions are based on the assumptions of spherically symmetric boundary conditions. It is shown that the theory is capable of providing accurate predictions for the pointwise (displacement, strain, and stress) fields distributions in laminated and monolithic shells. Furthermore, it is shown that the behavior of the theory is self-convergent and thus increasing the order of the analysis always converges the predictions to the correct answer.

AB We analyze the time reversible Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (TRBOMD) scheme, which preserves the time reversibility of the Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics even with non-convergent self-consistent field iteration. In the linear response regime, we derive the stability condition, as well as the accuracy of TRBOMD for computing physical properties, such as the phonon frequency obtained from the molecular dynamics simulation. We connect and compare TRBOMD with Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics in terms of accuracy and stability. We further discuss the accuracy of TRBOMD beyond the linear response regime for non-equilibrium dynamics of nuclei. Our results are demonstrated through numerical experiments using a simplified one-dimensional model for Kohn-Sham density functional theory.

We then discuss recent calculations using these methods for dense liquid hydrogen as it undergoes a molecular/atomic (metal/insulator) transition. We then discuss a procedure that can be used to assess electronic density functionals, which in turn can be used on a larger scale for first principles calculations and apply this technique to dense hydrogen and liquid water.

AB We show improvements in the precision of the Bayesian infrasound source localization (BISL) method by incorporating semi-empirical model-based prior information. Given a set of back-azimuths and delay times at >= 2 arrays, BISL scans a parameter space (that comprises the horizontal coordinates, celerity and origin time) for the most likely solution. A key element of BISL is its flexibility; the method allows the incorporation of prior information to constrain the parameters. Our research focuses on generating model-based propagation catalogues using a comprehensive set of atmospheric scenarios, extracting celerity distributions based on range and azimuth from the catalogues and using these distributions as prior probability density functions to enhance the location solution from BISL. To illustrate the improvements in source location precision, we compare the BISL results computed using uniform celerity distribution priors with those using enhanced priors; as applied to: (1) a set of events recorded across a regional network and (2) a large accidental chemical explosion recorded by six infrasound arrays in Eurasia. Finally, we discuss efforts to improve the numerical implementation of BISL by expanding the parameter space to cover a richer set of parameters that can include station-specific celerity distributions.

AB This paper presents a streaming (sequential) protocol for universal entanglement concentration at the Shannon bound. Alice and Bob begin with N identical (but unknown) two-qubit pure states, each containing E ebits of entanglement. They each run a reversible algorithm on their qubits, and end up with Y perfect EPR pairs, where Y = NE +/- O(root N). Our protocol is streaming, so the N input systems are fed in one at a time, and perfect EPR pairs start popping out almost immediately. It matches the optimal block protocol exactly at each stage, so the average yield after n inputs is < Y > = nE - O(log n). So, somewhat surprisingly, there is no tradeoff between yield and lag-our protocol optimizes both. In contrast, the optimal N-qubit block protocol achieves the same yield, but since no EPR pairs are produced until the entire input block is read, its lag is O(N). Finally, our algorithm runs in O(log N) space, so a lot of entanglement can be efficiently concentrated using a very small (e. g., current or near-future technology) quantum processor. Along the way, we find an optimal streaming protocol for extracting randomness from classical i.i.d. sources and a more space-efficient implementation of the Schur transform.

TI Application of small-angle neutron scattering to the study of forces
between magnetically chained monodisperse ferrofluid emulsion droplets
SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED CRYSTALLOGRAPHY

ID REFRACTIVE OPTICS; CRYSTALLIZATION; NANOPARTICLES; RESOLUTION
AB The optical magnetic chaining technique (MCT) developed by Leal-Calderon, Stora, Mondain-Monval, Poulin & Bibette [Phys. Rev. Lett. (1994), 72, 2959-2962] allows precise measurements of force profiles between droplets in monodisperse ferrofluid emulsions. However, the method lacks an in situ determination of droplet size and, therefore, requires a combination of separately acquired measurements of droplet chain periodicity versus an applied magnetic field from optical Bragg scattering and droplet diameter inferred from dynamic light scattering (DLS) to recover surface force-distance profiles between the colloidal particles. Compound refractive lens (CRL) focused small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) MCT should result in more consistent measurements of droplet size (form factor measurements in the absence of field) and droplet chaining period (from structure factor peaks when the magnetic field is applied), and, with access to shorter length scales, extend force measurements to closer approaches than possible by optical measurements. This article reports on CRL-SANS measurements of monodisperse ferrofluid emulsion droplets aligned in straight chains by an applied field perpendicular to the incident beam direction. Analysis of the scattering from the closely spaced droplets required algorithms that carefully treated resolution and its effect on mean scattering vector magnitudes in order to determine droplet size and chain periods to sufficient accuracy. At lower applied fields, scattering patterns indicate structural correlations transverse to the magnetic field direction owing to the formation of intermediate structures in early chain growth.

AB Combining insights from diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and X-ray pair distribution function (PDF) analysis has the potential to deepen our understanding of complex materials systems including heterogeneous catalysts and host-guest systems. This article describes the development of instrumentation and non-ambient reaction cells that enable combined PDF-IR studies without compromise to either measurement. Through careful selection of the IR spectrometer and optics, the IR instrument and reaction cell were adapted to allow angular dispersive X-ray measurements without change to the active IR components. The PDF and diffraction data obtained with this experimental configuration are shown to be of similar quality and resolution to standard capillary-based measurements. Simultaneous combined measurements are demonstrated for desorption of guests from within a Prussian blue analog.

AB A formalism is described which enables the simulation or fitting of small-angle scattering data (X-ray or neutron) for periodic heterogeneous lattices of arbitrary nano-objects. Generality is maximized by allowing for particle mixtures, anisotropic nano-objects and definable orientations of nano-objects within the unit cell. The model is elaborated by including a variety of kinds of disorder relevant to self-assembling systems: finite grain size, polydispersity in particle properties, positional and orientation disorder of particles, and substitutional or vacancy defects within the lattice. The applicability of the approach is demonstrated by fitting experimental X-ray scattering data. In particular, the article provides examples of superlattices self-assembled from isotropic and anisotropic nanoparticles which interact through complementary DNA coronas.

ID DEPENDENT RESIDUAL-STRESS; RIETVELD REFINEMENT; TEXTURED POLYCRYSTALS;
GENERALIZED TREATMENT
AB A new approach for the determination of the elastic macro strain and stress in textured polycrystals by diffraction is presented. It consists of expanding the strain tensor weighted by texture in a series of generalized spherical harmonics where the ground state is defined by the strain/stress state in an isotropic sample in the Voigt model. In contrast to similar expansions already reported by other authors, this new approach provides expressions valid for any sample and crystal symmetries and can easily be implemented in whole powder pattern fitting, including Rietveld refinement. An earlier article [Popa & Balzar (2001). J. Appl. Cryst. 34, 187-195] reported a similar model, but with a spherical harmonics expansion around the hydrostatic strain/stress state of the isotropic polycrystal. The availability of several different models is beneficial in order to allow one to select the representation in which the ground state is the closest to the actual stress state in the sample.

AB The highly successful scattering density profile (SDP) model, used to jointly analyze small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering data from unilamellar vesicles, has been adapted for use with data from fully hydrated, liquid crystalline multilamellar vesicles (MLVs). Using a genetic algorithm, this new method is capable of providing high-resolution structural information, as well as determining bilayer elastic bending fluctuations from standalone X-ray data. Structural parameters such as bilayer thickness and area per lipid were determined for a series of saturated and unsaturated lipids, as well as binary mixtures with cholesterol. The results are in good agreement with previously reported SDP data, which used both neutron and X-ray data. The inclusion of deuterated and non-deuterated MLV neutron data in the analysis improved the lipid backbone information but did not improve, within experimental error, the structural data regarding bilayer thickness and area per lipid.

AB Some of the improvements in SHELX2013 make SHELXL convenient to use for refinement of macromolecular structures against neutron data without the support of X-ray data. The new NEUT instruction adjusts the behaviour of the SFAC instruction as well as the default bond lengths of the AFIX instructions. This work presents a protocol on how to use SHELXL for refinement of protein structures against neutron data. It includes restraints extending the Engh & Huber [Acta Cryst. (1991), A47, 392-400] restraints to H atoms and discusses several of the features of SHELXL that make the program particularly useful for the investigation of H atoms with neutron diffraction. SHELXL2013 is already adequate for the refinement of small molecules against neutron data, but there is still room for improvement, like the introduction of chain IDs for the refinement of macromolecular structures.

AB Metal nanoparticles are key materials in heterogeneous catalysis due to their high catalytic activity and selectivity to the desired product. Accordingly, they are playing a pivotal role in most heterogeneous catalytic reactions that are steeply growing with the development of a colloidal synthetic protocol that enables fine control of size, shape, morphology and composition of metal nanoparticles at an atomic level. These colloidal metal nanoparticles can be dispersed on a rigid support such as mesoporous silica, metal oxide and zeolite, which utilizes metal nanoparticles as model heterogeneous catalysts in industrially important processes involving hydrogenation/dehydrogenation, isomerization and cracking. In this review article, we highlight the recent progress on general colloidal synthetic routes with technological advances in characterization tools that enable the atomic-scale observation of metal nanoparticles. Structure-dependent contributions on the control of product selectivity and turnover rate are also discussed by combining advanced ex situ and in situ surface characterization tools that can monitor the structural change of metal nanocatalysts as well as the evolution of reaction intermediates under the reaction conditions.

ID STATISTICAL ERROR; PREDICTION; MODEL
AB A method for deterministically minimizing the cost of a single Monte Carlo tally employing weight-dependent weight-window variance reduction has been developed. This method relies on deterministic calculations of the tally's variance and average computational time per history, the product of which is the cost (inverse figure of merit) of the tally calculation. The tally's variance is deterministically computed by solving the history-score moment equations that describe the moments of the tally's score distribution, and the average time per history is computed by solving the future time equation that describes the expected amount of computational time a particle and its progeny require to process to termination. Both equations are solved by the S-N method. Results are presented for one- and two-dimensional problems that demonstrate increased calculation efficiency, by factors of 1.1 to 2, of the optimized problems over standard adjoint (importance) biasing.

ID CASK
AB This paper presents a hybrid (Monte Carlo/deterministic) method for increasing the efficiency of Monte Carlo calculations of distributions, such as flux or dose rate distributions (e.g., mesh tallies), as well as responses at multiple localized detectors and spectra. This method, referred to as Forward-Weighted CADIS (FW-CADIS), is an extension of the Consistent Adjoint Driven Importance Sampling (CADIS) method, which has been used for more than a decade to very effectively improve the efficiency of Monte Carlo calculations of localized quantities (e.g., flux, dose, or reaction rate at a specific location). The basis of this method is the development of an importance function that represents the importance of particles to the objective of uniform Monte Carlo particle density in the desired tally regions. Implementation of this method utilizes the results from a forward deterministic calculation to develop a forward-weighted source for a deterministic adjoint calculation. The resulting adjoint function is then used to generate consistent space-and energy-dependent source biasing parameters and weight windows that are used in a forward Monte Carlo calculation to obtain more uniform statistical uncertainties in the desired tally regions. The FW-CADIS method has been implemented and demonstrated within the MAVRIC (Monaco with Automated Variance Reduction using Importance Calculations) sequence of SCALE and the ADVANTG (Automated Deterministic Variance Reduction Generator)/MCNP framework. Application of the method to representative real-world problems, including calculation of dose rate and energy-dependent flux throughout the problem space, dose rates in specific areas, and energy spectra at multiple detectors, is presented and discussed. Results of the FW-CADIS method and other recently developed global variance-reduction approaches are also compared, and the FW-CADIS method outperformed the other methods in all cases considered.

ID NEUTRON YIELDS
AB As new uranium enrichment plants are proposed and come online worldwide, interest in using neutron methods for uranium hexafluoride (UF6) cylinder assay has been growing; however, large discrepancies exist in published F(alpha,n) yields from uranium isotopes. Uncertainties in these data are propagated through the analysis of every UF6 measurement and have implications for safeguards conclusions drawn from them. In this paper, a value for the specific F(alpha,n) yield in UF6 from U-234 is calculated from measurements of 30B cylinders containing bulk UF6 at the Rokkasho Enrichment Plant in Japan. The measurements were taken using the Uranium Cylinder Assay System. The yield was derived by combining the cylinder measurements with detailed Monte Carlo modeling, known isotopic composition, and inversion analysis. We calculated the U-234 neutron emission rate in UF6 to be (474 +/- 21) nls.g(-1) with a 68% confidence level. The results obtained in this study will help enable an important class of nondestructive assay instruments to be applied with greater confidence and accuracy.

ID TECHNOLOGY
AB Due to the emerging need for the development of acceptance test codes for commercial concentrating solar power (CSP) plants, an effort is made here to develop a mirror reflectance model suitable for CSP applications as well as a general procedure to measure the average mirror reflectance of a solar field. Typically, a utility-scale solar field includes hundreds of thousands of mirror panels (if not more), and their reflectance is subject to many factors, such as weather and planned washing schedule. The newly developed mirror reflectance model can be used to characterize different types of mirror materials and can be directly used to perform optical performance evaluation of solar collectors. The newly proposed procedure for average solar field reflectance measurements includes a baseline comprehensive measurement and an individual factor measurement: the former allows a comprehensive survey of mirror reflectance across the whole solar field, and the latter can provide correcting factors for selected individual factors to further improve the accuracy of the baseline measurements. A detailed test case implementing the general procedure is applied to a state-of-the-art commercial parabolic trough plant and validates the proposed mirror reflectance model and average reflectance measurement procedure. In the test case, the plant-wide reflectance measurements at a commercial utility-scale solar plant were conducted and can shed light on relevant analysis of CSP applications. The work can also be naturally applied to other types of solar plants, such as power towers and linear Fresnel plants. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Structural performance of wood adhesive bonds depends on their ability to transfer stress across an interface of dissimilar materials, namely cell wall substance and cured polymeric adhesive. The interphase region of the bond consists of cell wall substance, voids, and voids filled with adhesive. In this study, an integrated method to numerically model micromechanical behavior of this system is described. The method includes micro-X-ray computed tomography (XCT) to define the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the bond on a micron scale. Tomography data were used as direct input to a micromechanics model. The model provided a 3D representation of equivalent strain and stress of the adhesive bond under load and, furthermore, integrated the microstructure of the interphase region into the solution. The model was validated using lap-shear test results from the same specimens that were scanned for XCT. Optical measurement and digital image correlation techniques provided full-field displacement data of the lapshear specimen surfaces under load. Model simulation results compared favorably with measured surface displacements with spatial resolution in the micron range. The main advantage of the methodology is the accurate representation of the 3D microstructure of wood and the penetrating adhesive system in the numerical model.

AB Recent studies assessing plausible futures for agricultural markets and global food security have had contradictory outcomes. To advance our understanding of the sources of the differences, 10 global economic models that produce long-term scenarios were asked to compare a reference scenario with alternate socioeconomic, climate change, and bioenergy scenarios using a common set of key drivers. Several key conclusions emerge from this exercise: First, for a comparison of scenario results to be meaningful, a careful analysis of the interpretation of the relevant model variables is essential. For instance, the use of real world commodity prices differs widely across models, and comparing the prices without accounting for their different meanings can lead to misleading results. Second, results suggest that, once some key assumptions are harmonized, the variability in general trends across models declines but remains important. For example, given the common assumptions of the reference scenario, models show average annual rates of changes of real global producer prices for agricultural products on average ranging between -0.4% and +0.7% between the 2005 base year and 2050. This compares to an average decline of real agricultural prices of 4% p.a. between the 1960s and the 2000s. Several other common trends are shown, for example, relating to key global growth areas for agricultural production and consumption. Third, differences in basic model parameters such as income and price elasticities, sometimes hidden in the way market behavior is modeled, result in significant differences in the details. Fourth, the analysis shows that agro-economic modelers aiming to inform the agricultural and development policy debate require better data and analysis on both economic behavior and biophysical drivers. More interdisciplinary modeling efforts are required to cross-fertilize analyses at different scales.

General equilibrium; Partial equilibrium
ID GROWTH; TRADE
AB This article compares the theoretical and functional specification of production in partial equilibrium (PE) and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models of the global agricultural and food system included in the AgMIP model comparison study. The two model families differ in their scopepartial versus economy-wideand in how they represent technology and the behavior of supply and demand in markets. The CGE models are deep structural models in that they explicitly solve the maximization problem of consumers and producers, assuming utility maximization and profit maximization with production/cost functions that include all factor inputs. The PE models divide into two groups on the supply side: (1) shallow structural models, which essentially specify area/yield supply functions with no explicit maximization behavior, and (2) deep structural models that provide a detailed activity-analysis specification of technology and explicit optimizing behavior by producers. While the models vary in their specifications of technology, both within and between the PE and CGE families, we consider two stylized theoretical models to compare the behavior of crop yields and supply functions in CGE models with their behavior in shallow structural PE models. We find that the theoretical responsiveness of supply to changes in prices can be similar, depending on parameter choices that define the behavior of implicit supply functions over the domain of applicability defined by the common scenarios used in the AgMIP comparisons. In practice, however, the applied models are more complex and differ in their empirical sensitivity to variations in specificationcomparability of results given parameter choices is an empirical question. To illustrate the issues, sensitivity analysis is done with one global CGE model, MAGNET, to indicate how the results vary with different specification of technical change, and how they compare with the results from PE models.

AB Understanding the capacity of agricultural systems to feed the world population under climate change requires projecting future food demand. This article reviews demand modeling approaches from 10 global economic models participating in the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP). We compare food demand projections in 2050 for various regions and agricultural products under harmonized scenarios of socioeconomic development, climate change, and bioenergy expansion. In the reference scenario (SSP2), food demand increases by 59-98% between 2005 and 2050, slightly higher than the most recent FAO projection of 54% from 2005/2007. The range of results is large, in particular for animal calories (between 61% and 144%), caused by differences in demand systems specifications, and in income and price elasticities. The results are more sensitive to socioeconomic assumptions than to climate change or bioenergy scenarios. When considering a world with higher population and lower economic growth (SSP3), consumption per capita drops on average by 9% for crops and 18% for livestock.

AB Changes in agricultural land use have important implications for environmental services. Previous studies of agricultural land-use futures have been published indicating large uncertainty due to different model assumptions and methodologies. In this article we present a first comprehensive comparison of global agro-economic models that have harmonized drivers of population, GDP, and biophysical yields. The comparison allows us to ask two research questions: (1) How much cropland will be used under different socioeconomic and climate change scenarios? (2) How can differences in model results be explained? The comparison includes four partial and six general equilibrium models that differ in how they model land supply and amount of potentially available land. We analyze results of two different socioeconomic scenarios and three climate scenarios (one with constant climate). Most models (7 out of 10) project an increase of cropland of 10-25% by 2050 compared to 2005 (under constant climate), but one model projects a decrease. Pasture land expands in some models, which increase the treat on natural vegetation further. Across all models most of the cropland expansion takes place in South America and sub-Saharan Africa. In general, the strongest differences in model results are related to differences in the costs of land expansion, the endogenous productivity responses, and the assumptions about potential cropland.

TI Agriculture and climate change in global scenarios: why don't the models
agree
SO AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS

DT Article
DE Climate change impacts; Economic models of agriculture; Scenarios
ID SYSTEM MODEL; DEMAND; CMIP5
AB Agriculture is unique among economic sectors in the nature of impacts from climate change. The production activity that transforms inputs into agricultural outputs involves direct use of weather inputs (temperature, solar radiation available to the plant, and precipitation). Previous studies of the impacts of climate change on agriculture have reported substantial differences in outcomes such as prices, production, and trade arising from differences in model inputs and model specification. This article presents climate change results and underlying determinants from a model comparison exercise with 10 of the leading global economic models that include significant representation of agriculture. By harmonizing key drivers that include climate change effects, differences in model outcomes were reduced. The particular choice of climate change drivers for this comparison activity results in large and negative productivity effects. All models respond with higher prices. Producer behavior differs by model with some emphasizing area response and others yield response. Demand response is least important. The differences reflect both differences in model specification and perspectives on the future. The results from this study highlight the need to more fully compare the deep model parameters, to generate a call for a combination of econometric and validation studies to narrow the degree of uncertainty and variability in these parameters and to move to Monte Carlo type simulations to better map the contours of economic uncertainty.

AB Integrated Assessment studies have shown that meeting ambitious greenhouse gas mitigation targets will require substantial amounts of bioenergy as part of the future energy mix. In the course of the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP), five global agro-economic models were used to analyze a future scenario with global demand for ligno-cellulosic bioenergy rising to about 100 ExaJoule in 2050. From this exercise a tentative conclusion can be drawn that ambitious climate change mitigation need not drive up global food prices much, if the extra land required for bioenergy production is accessible or if the feedstock, for example, from forests, does not directly compete for agricultural land. Agricultural price effects across models by the year 2050 from high bioenergy demand in an ambitious mitigation scenario appear to be much smaller (+5% average across models) than from direct climate impacts on crop yields in a high-emission scenario (+25% average across models). However, potential future scarcities of water and nutrients, policy-induced restrictions on agricultural land expansion, as well as potential welfare losses have not been specifically looked at in this exercise.

AB The major challenge for the application of autonomous medical sensing systems is the noise produced by non-zero physiological concentrations of the sensed target. If the level of noise is high, then a real signal indicating abnormal changes in the physiological levels of the analytes might be hindered. Inevitably, this could lead to wrong diagnostics and treatment, and would have a negative impact on human health. Here, we report the realization of a filter system implemented to improve both the fidelity of sensing and the accuracy of consequent drug release. A new filtering method was tested in the sensing system for the diagnosis of liver injury. This sensing system used the enzymes alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) as the inputs. Furthermore, the output of the sensing system was designed to trigger drug release, and therefore, the role of the filter in drug release was also investigated. The drug release system consists of beads with an iron-cross-linked alginate core coated with different numbers of layers of poly-L-lysine. Dissolution of the beads by the output signals of the sensing system in the presence and absence of the filter was monitored by the release of rhodamine-6G dye encapsulated in the beads, mimicking the release of a real drug. The obtained results offer a new view of the problem of noise reduction for systems intended to be part of sense and treat medical devices.

AB The inactivation of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by, organophosphorus Agent (OP) compounds is a serious Problem regardless of how the individual was exposed: The reactivation of OP-inactivated AChE is dependent on the OP conjugate,, and commonly a specific oxime is better at reactivating a specific OP conjugate than several diverse OP conjugates. The presented research explores the physicochemical properties needed for the reactivation of OP-inactivated AChE. Four different OPs, cyclosarin, sarin, tabun, and VX, were analyzed using the same set of oxime reactivators. A trial descriptor pool of semiempirical, traditional, and molecular interaction field descriptors was used to construct an ensemble of QSAR models for each OP-conjugate pair. Based on the molecular information and the cross-validation ability, individual. QSAR models were selected to be part of an OP-conjugate consensus model. The OP-conjugate specific models provide important insight into the physicochemical properties required to reactivate the OP conjugates of interest. The reactivation of AChE. inactivated with either cyclosarin or tabun requires the oxime therapeutic to possess an overall polar-Positive surface area. Oxime therapeutics for the reactivation of sarin-inactivated AChE are conformationally dependent while oxime reverse therapeutics for VX require a compact region with a highly hydrophilic region and two positively charged pyridine rings.

AB A nickel bis(diphosphine) complex containing proton relays in the second and outer coordination spheres, Ni(PCy2N(CH2)(2)OMe)(2), (PCy2N(CH2)(2)OMe = 1,5-di(methoxyethyl)-3,7-dicyclohexyl-1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane), is an electrocatalyst for hydrogen oxidation. The addition of hydrogen to the Ni(II) complex results in rapid formation of three isomers of the doubly protonated Ni(0) complex, [ Ni(PCy2N(CH2)(2)OMe2H)(2)](2+). The three isomers show fast interconversion at 40 degrees C, unique to this complex in this class of catalysts. Under conditions of 1.0 atm H-2 using H2O as a base, catalytic oxidation proceeds at a turnover frequency of 5 s-1 and an overpotential of 720 mV, as determined from the potential at half of the catalytic current. Compared to the previously reported Ni(PCy2NBn)(2) complex, the new complex operates at a faster rate and at a lower overpotential.

AB Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can provide a matrix for the assembly of organic chromophores into well-defined geometries, allowing for tuning of the material properties and study of structure-property relationships. Here, we report on the effect of the coordinated metal ion on the luminescence properties of eight isostructural MOFs having the formula (M2ML3)-M-1-L-2(DMF)(2) (M-1 = M-2 = Zn (1), Cd (2), Mn (3), Co (4); M-1 = Zn, M-2 = Cd (5), Mn (6), Co (7); M-1 = Co, M-2 = Mn (8); L = trans-4,4'-stilbene dicarboxylate), synthesized by reaction of the appropriate metal nitrate or mixtures of metal nitrates with LH2 in DMF. The crystal structures of 2, 3 and 5-8 were determined by X-ray diffraction to be composed of trinuclear metal clusters linked by stilbene dicarboxylate linkers in a paddlewheel geometry, extending to form a 2-D layered structure. In the mixed-metal cases, the larger metal ion was found to occupy the octahedral site in the cluster while the smaller ion occupies the tetrahedral positions, suggesting a selective, liganddirected assembly process for the mixed-metal species. Variable temperature magnetic measurements for paramagnetic MOFs 3 and 6-8 were consistent with the site occupancies determined crystallographically, and indicated weak intra-cluster antiferromagnetic coupling for 3 and 8. Comparison between the crystal structures of 2, 3 and 5-8 and those reported for 1 and 4 in the literature reveal close resemblances between linker environments, with important intermolecular stilbene-stilbene geometries that are comparable in all cases. Interestingly, pale-colored 1-3 and 5-7 display very similar emission profiles upon excitation at lambda(ex) = 350 nm, whereas dark-colored 4 and 8 do not exhibit detectable emission spectra. The bright, well-resolved luminescence of 1, 2 and 5 is ascribed to rigidification of the linker upon coordination to the d(10) metal ions, whereas the weaker emission observed for 3, 6 and 7 is presumably a result of quenching due to close proximity of the linker to one or more paramagnetic ions. Time-resolved measurements for 1, 2, 5 and 6 reveal biexponential emission decays, where the lifetime of the longer-lived state corresponds to observed variations in the nearest-neighbor cofacial stilbenestilbene distances in their crystal structures. For 3, a monoexponential decay with shorter lifetime was determined, indicating significant paramagnetic quenching of its emissive state.

AB The CO2 desorption rate from CO2-loaded immobilized polyethylenimine (PEI) on mesoporous silica was investigated in a fluidized bed unit. Nonisothermal studies were carried in the temperature range of 340-380 K and different heating rate (1.0-2.7 K/min). The tests were performed using two different inlet CO2 concentrations, mainly 16.5% and 33%. The kinetics involved in CO2 desorption was studied by applying various analytical techniques (model-free and model-fitting) to the nonisothermal data. The model-free approach represented by the nonisothermal isoconversional methods revealed that the apparent Arrhenius parameters (A and E-a) increased with extent of conversion for 0 <= X <= 0.3, followed by an approximately nearly constant value at the higher CO2 desorption levels. In the constant-E-a region, the nonisothermal CO2 desorption follows a two-dimensional diffusion model. The apparent Arrhenius parameters (In A and E-a) evaluated were 71.3 +/- 3.6 and 230.5 +/- 13.0 kJ/mol, respectively.

AB The three-phase pulsewidth-modulation (PWM) converter is one of the most widely used topologies for power conversion. In order to design PWM methods, the influence of PWM methods on the current ripple is needed. This paper studies the current ripple of a three-phase PWM converter with general PWM methods for the design and control of this kind of converter. The current ripple is analyzed with eight different Thevenin equivalent circuits for the eight different voltage vectors. Then, the current-ripple slope and effective time could be achieved for every period. The current ripple could be predicted with both peak and rms values. Analytical predicted results show that discontinuous PWM could generate obviously bigger current ripples than space vector PMW for both peak and rms values with the same conditions. Simulation and experiments are built to verify the analytical results, proving that the theoretical prediction is valid. This analysis provides the basis for the design and control of the PWM method for converters.

AB We present a framework for rapidly predicting gas adsorption properties based on van der Waals density functional calculations and thermodynamic modeling. Utilizing this model and experimentally determined pore size distributions, we are able to accurately predict uptakes in five activated carbon materials without empirical potentials or lengthy simulations. Our results demonstrate that materials with smaller pores and higher heats of adsorption can still have poor adsorption characteristics due to relatively low densities of highly adsorbent pores.

AB Systems designed to monitor airborne radionuclides released from underground nuclear explosions detected radioactive fallout across the northern hemisphere resulting from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in March 2011. Sampling data from multiple International Modeling System locations are combined with atmospheric transport modeling to estimate the magnitude and time sequence of releases of Xe-133. Modeled dilution factors at five different detection locations were combined with 57 atmospheric concentration measurements of Xe-133 taken from March 18 to March 23 to estimate the source term. This analysis suggests that 92% of the 1.24 x 10(19) Bq of Xe-133 present in the three operating reactors at the time of the earthquake was released to the atmosphere over a 3 d period. An uncertainty analysis bounds the release estimates to 54-129% of available Xe-133 inventory. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB In pursuit of whether nanocrystallinity could lead to higher anion conductivity, research has revealed contradicting results exposing the limited understanding of point defect energetics at grain boundaries (GBs)/interfaces. By disentangling and addressing key GB energetics issues related to segregation, migration and binding energies of oxygen vacancies in the presence and absence of dopants at the GBs, as well as the segregation energetics of dopants, we use atomistic simulations of doped nanocrystalline ceria to elucidate that dopant segregation is the key factor leading to degradation of oxygen conductivity in nanocrystalline materials. A framework for designing enhanced conducting nanocrystalline materials is proposed where the focus of doping strategies shifts from the bulk to segregation at GBs.

AB Bulk heterojunction photovoltaic devices consisting of a novel nonfullerene acceptor based on a decacyclene triimide core and the common polymer donor poly(3-hexylthiophene) exhibit good power conversion efficiency (similar to 1.6%) as-cast. However, thermal annealing results in a drastic decrease in both the efficiency and the electron current. Polarized soft Xray spectroscopy and grazing incidence Xray scattering reveal that thermal annealing results in a reorientation of the acceptor molecules to an edge-on orientation with their pp stacking direction predominantly inplane with the substrate and overall hexagonal packing among planar columnar structures. This packing motif greatly hinders vertical electron transport in bulk heterojunction films. Furthermore, in situ Xray scattering studies show that this critical reorientation occurs even at relatively low temperatures (similar to 60 degrees C). These results are some of the first to highlight differences between the morphology of nonfullerene and fullerene-based bulk heterojunctions and critical parameters that must be controlled when designing future high-performance nonfullerene acceptor molecules.

AB Cr, N-codoped TiO2 mesoporous microspheres have been successfully synthesized by a facile hydrothermal reaction followed by annealing under an ammonia atmosphere. Through introduction of Cr, the nitrogen doping level was increased from 2.81 at.% for N-doped TiO2 to 5.68 at.% for Cr, N-codoped TiO2, which improves the electrical conductivity of TiO2. When used as an anode for lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, the Cr, N-codoping TiO2 microspheres led to an enhanced performance of 159.6 mA h g(-1) at 5 C with a drop of less than 1% after 300 cycles.

AB Recently a new class of solid lithium ion conductors was reported based on the anti-perovskite structure, notably Li3OCl and Li3OBr. For many beyond lithium-ion battery uses, the solid electrolyte is envisioned to be in direct contact with liquid electrolytes and lithium metal. In this study we evaluated the stability of the Li3OBr phase against common battery solvents electrolytes, including diethylcarbonate (DEC) and dimethylcarbonate (DMC), as well as a LiPF6 containing commercial electrolyte. In contact with batterygrade organic solvents, Li3OBr was typically found to be insoluble but lost its crystallinity and reacted with available protons and-in some cases with-the solvent. A low temperature h-eat-treatment was able to restore crystallinity of the samples; however evidence of proton ion exchange was conserved. (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB The purpose of this work was to investigate the combustion performance and the pollutant emission characteristics of gas-to-liquid fuel in a passenger car's diesel engine. In order to perform this study, the test facilities were set up on a 1.6 l four-cylinder compression ignition diesel engine with a common-rail injection system. Gas-to-liquid fuel combustion under a high-engine-load condition was compared with conventional diesel and biodiesel derived from soybean oil. The performance test results revealed that the gas-to-liquid fuel shows more rapid ignition than diesel and biodiesel do because of its high cetane number. The rates of increase in the combustion pressure in gas-to-liquid fuel and biodiesel were smaller than that in diesel, and the maximum rate of heat release from gas-to-liquid fuel was the lowest among the three test fuels. In terms of emission analysis, gas-to-liquid fuel shows a slight decrease in the nitrogen oxide emissions and significant reductions in the hydrocarbon and the carbon monoxide emissions compared with other test fuels. Meanwhile, the combustion of gas-to-liquid fuel indicates a lower concentration of soot emissions than those from conventional diesel but slightly higher than those from biodiesel owing to the variation in the low heating value parameter.

AB Multispectral data from satellites are widely used to study the effects of extreme weather events in forest ecosystems at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Understanding the sensitivity of these data is important since these phenomena are projected to increase as climate changes. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Landsat data were used to study the observed patterns of forest disturbance at different spatial scales in temperate forest (US Gulf Coast) produced by tropical cyclones Charley (2004), Katrina (2005), Rita (2005), and Gustav (2008), and in tropical rainforests (Australia) produced by cyclone Yasi (2011). The severity of forest disturbance was quantified by applying spectral mixture analysis to the MODIS and Landsat coverages. Field studies were used to verify and compare the results. At the local scale Landsat data was sensitive to forest disturbance both within and between forest types. Higher tree mortality was observed in tropical rainforests than in temperate forests. This observation may be explained by forest type characteristics such as stem density, forest adaptation, and depth of root systems. At the species level, Landsat showed a gradient of forest resilience to tropical cyclone winds that agreed with observational field studies. At the landscape scale, the observed topographic effects on disturbance patterns were well represented by the MODIS data. Positive covariance was observed between surface orientation and slope on the severity of disturbance. Greater levels of disturbance were observed on windward surfaces with steeper slopes. Finally, at the regional scale, MODIS reproduced the pattern of forest damage associated with cyclone winds. The highest level of forest disturbance was observed on the right side of the cyclone track in the northern hemisphere (US Gulf Coast forest ecosystems) and on the left side in the southern hemisphere (Australian rainforest). At the regional scale, forest disturbance was positively associated with the decrease of wind speeds in an inland direction. Tropical cyclone surface winds explained 20% of forest disturbance, although characteristics of cumulative processes could cause this to be underestimated. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

ID URANIUM; XPS; INSIGHTS; SPECTRA
AB Rigorous theoretical studies of the electronic structure to describe the Uranium L-3 near edge X-ray absorption fine structure, NEXAFS, of different oxidation states of U in UOx are reported. Key features of the spectra are related to the ligand field splitting of the excited state orbitals. Furthermore, the ligand field splitting is related to the different extent of covalent mixing that occur at different U-O distances for the different oxidation states. The theoretical relative energies and intensities are based on electronic wavefunctions for cluster models of the oxides. This allows a direct relationship to be established between the L-3-edge NEXAFS features and the covalent mixing in the oxides. Correlations are established between the width of the L-3 NEXAFS and the U-O distance and these correlations are shown to reflect the character of the chemical interaction between the U cations and the O anions.

AB A recently developed "gel-state NMR method" that simply swells plant cell walls in a DMSO-d(6)/pyridine-d(5) (4 : 1) solvent system and uses a high-resolution solution state 2D-NMR (HSQC) technique has been successfully applied to whole plant cell wall 2D-NMR profiling studies. However, there was limited information to assign many polysaccharide peaks unlike lignin structures. Here we collected NMR data from various cellulose and xylan models using the same solvent system to assign the unknown peaks. Furthermore, DMSO-soluble cellulose and xylan fractions were prepared from ball-milled cotton linter cellulose, and the detailed chemical structures were analyzed. The major component of cotton is cellulose (95-99%), but it typically contains similar to 2% hemicelluloses. Xylan in particular was isolated and identified along with the amorphous cellulose in this study. The fully assigned spectra of cellulose and xylan provided invaluable database information for peak assignment and authentication that will be directly used to screen and identify the two main polysaccharide components from various whole cell wall NMR spectra in the same solvent system.

AB The synthesis of mesoporous silica thin films on nontraditional conductive substrates using an electro-assisted self-assembly (EASA) technique is described. This work extends prior demonstrations of EASA by exploring the effects of precursor sol pH, temperature, and substrate roughness and describes a new approach to synthesizing a mesoporous silica film that is detachable from the substrate. The latter uses a conductive polymer as a planarization layer for successful EASA on indium-tin oxide coated glass (ITO) and as a sacrificial layer that can be subsequently dispersed in water to release the silica film. This is a particularly important development because it opens up possibilities for synthesizing perpendicularly aligned nanoporous silica on a broad range of surfaces and non-conductive substrates and producing free standing nanostructured thin films. The silica films that are produced have well ordered hexagonally packed mesopores that are vertical to the substrate surface. The thicknesses of these mesoporous silica films were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and determined to be controllably variable between similar to 100 and 200 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed organized porous structural features that were approximately 3 nm in diameter. Grazing-incidence small angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) analysis yielded an similar to 4.2 nm pore-to-pore distance and confirmed that a p6mm orientation persisted throughout the 6 cm(2) mesoporous silica film samples.

AB With the aim of metal decontamination, migration and stabilization of multiply heavy metals in an aged contaminated soil under a constant 1V cm(-1) parallel-plate electric field were investigated through monitoring the metal migration in the anolyte, as well as analyzing their species distribution residual in soil. Besides anionic Cr(VI), cationic metals were also found in the anolyte, primarily by the concentration-gradient-driven diffusion of free ions, especially when the produced H+ considerably increased their levels in the soil. After 295h, parts of Cu, Cr, Ni, and Zn were found to electro-migrate into the intermediate area, but no obvious Pb migration was observed, likely ascribed to its own great inertia and precipitation with the present Cr(VI). However, in the whole, only 5.3% of Zn and 2.7% of Ni were separated, while the release of other heavy metals was almost ignorable. Although Pb mobility in the soil near the anode even increased three times, the overall metal mobility in all sample locations was found to significantly reduce under the electric field, indicating an effective stabilization approach. Moreover, compared with the bottom soil, the top soil near the anode was found to have a lower pH, higher moisture, lower heavy metal concentrations, and less soil oxidant demand; these phenomena may be due to a faster electro-migration of charged ions, especially H+, in the top soil. Therefore, such a divergence may considered to improve the current simulation approach for a realistic estimation of the actual metal and H+ electro-migration rate and the associated behavior under an electric field.

AB Low density shape memory polymer foams hold significant interest in the biomaterials community for their potential use in minimally invasive embolic biomedical applications. The unique shape memory behavior of these foams allows them to be compressed to a miniaturized form, which can be delivered to an anatomical site via a transcatheter process and thereafter actuated to embolize the desired area. Previous work in this field has described the use of a highly covalently crosslinked polymer structure for maintaining excellent mechanical and shape memory properties at the application-specific ultralow densities. This work is aimed at further expanding the utility of these biomaterials, as implantable low density shape memory polymer foams, by introducing controlled biodegradability. A highly covalently crosslinked network structure was maintained by use of low molecular weight, symmetrical and polyfunctional hydroxyl monomers such as polycaprolactone triol (PCL-t, Mn = 900 g), N,N,N0,N0-tetrakis(hydroxypropyl)ethylenediamine and tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amine. Control over the degradation rate of the materials was achieved by changing the concentration of the degradable PCL-t monomer and by varying the material hydrophobicity. These porous SMP materials exhibit a uniform cell morphology and excellent shape recovery, along with controllable actuation temperature and degradation rate. We believe that they form a new class of low density biodegradable SMP scaffolds that can potentially be used as "smart" non-permanent implants in multiple minimally invasive biomedical applications.

AB Xylanases catalyze the hydrolysis of plant hemicellulose xylan into oligosaccharides by cleaving the main-chain glycosidic linkages connecting xylose subunits. To study ligand binding and to understand how the pH constrains the activity of the enzyme, variants of the Trichoderma reesei xylanase were designed to either abolish its activity (E177Q) or to change its pH optimum (N44H). An E177Q-xylohexaose complex structure was obtained at 1.15 angstrom resolution which represents a pseudo-Michaelis complex and confirmed the conformational movement of the thumb region owing to ligand binding. Co-crystallization of N44H with xylohexaose resulted in a hydrolyzed xylotriose bound in the active site. Co-crystallization of the wild-type enzyme with xylopentaose trapped an aglycone xylotriose and a transglycosylated glycone product. Replacing amino acids near Glu177 decreased the xylanase activity but increased the relative activity at alkaline pH. The substrate distortion in the E177Q-xylohexaose structure expands the possible conformational itinerary of this xylose ring during the enzyme-catalyzed xylan-hydrolysis reaction.

AB The rotational order-disorder (OD) structure of the reversibly photoswitchable fluorescent protein rsTagRFP is discussed in detail. The structure is composed of tetramers of 222 symmetry incorporated into the lattice in two different orientations rotated 90 degrees with respect to each other around the crystal c axis and with tetramer axes coinciding with the crystallographic twofold axes. The random distribution of alternatively oriented tetramers in the crystal creates the rotational OD structure with statistically averaged I422 symmetry. Despite order-disorder pathology, the structure of rsTagRFP has electron-density maps of good quality for both non-overlapping and overlapping parts of the model. The crystal contacts, crystal internal architecture and a possible mechanism of rotational OD crystal formation are discussed.

AB The process of iterative structure-based drug design involves the X-ray crystal structure determination of upwards of 100 ligands with the same general scaffold (i.e. chemotype) complexed with very similar, if not identical, protein targets. In conjunction with insights from computational models and assays, this collection of crystal structures is analyzed to improve potency, to achieve better selectivity and to reduce liabilities such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicology. Current methods for modeling ligands into electron-density maps typically do not utilize information on how similar ligands bound in related structures. Even if the electron density is of sufficient quality and resolution to allow de novo placement, the process can take considerable time as the size, complexity and torsional degrees of freedom of the ligands increase. A new module, Guided Ligand Replacement (GLR), was developed in Phenix to increase the ease and success rate of ligand placement when prior protein-ligand complexes are available. At the heart of GLR is an algorithm based on graph theory that associates atoms in the target ligand with analogous atoms in the reference ligand. Based on this correspondence, a set of coordinates is generated for the target ligand. GLR is especially useful in two situations: (i) modeling a series of large, flexible, complicated or macrocyclic ligands in successive structures and (ii) modeling ligands as part of a refinement pipeline that can automatically select a reference structure. Even in those cases for which no reference structure is available, if there are multiple copies of the bound ligand per asymmetric unit GLR offers an efficient way to complete the model after the first ligand has been placed. In all of these applications, GLR leverages prior knowledge from earlier structures to facilitate ligand placement in the current structure.

AB High-throughput drug-discovery and mechanistic studies often require the determination of multiple related crystal structures that only differ in the bound ligands, point mutations in the protein sequence and minor conformational changes. If performed manually, solution and refinement requires extensive repetition of the same tasks for each structure. To accelerate this process and minimize manual effort, a pipeline encompassing all stages of ligand building and refinement, starting from integrated and scaled diffraction intensities, has been implemented in Phenix. The resulting system is able to successfully solve and refine large collections of structures in parallel without extensive user intervention prior to the final stages of model completion and validation.

AB BackgroundThe objective of this review is to evaluate the literature on the association between mild, moderate, and binge prenatal alcohol exposure and child neurodevelopment.
MethodsMeta-analysis with systematic searches of MEDLINE (1970 through August 2012), EMBASE (1988 through August 2012), and PsycINFO((R)) (1970 through August 2012) and examination of selected references.
ResultsFrom 1,593 articles, we identified 34 presenting data from cohort studies that met our inclusion criteria. Information on study population, outcomes, measurement instruments, timing and quantification of alcohol exposure, covariates, and results was abstracted. Outcomes included academic performance, attention, behavior, cognition, language skills, memory, and visual and motor development. The quality of each article was assessed by 2 researchers using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Based on 8 studies of 10,000 children aged 6months through 14years, we observed a significant detrimental association between any binge prenatal alcohol exposure and child cognition (Cohen's d [a standardized mean difference score] -0.13; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.21, -0.05). Based on 3 high-quality studies of 11,900 children aged 9months to 5years, we observed a statistically significant detrimental association between moderate prenatal alcohol exposure and child behavior (Cohen's d -0.15; 95% CI, -0.28, -0.03). We observed a significant, albeit small, positive association between mild-to-moderate prenatal alcohol exposure and child cognition (Cohen's d 0.04; 95% CI, 0.00, 0.08), but the association was not significant after post hoc exclusion of 1 large study that assessed mild consumption nor was it significant when including only studies that assessed moderate alcohol consumption. None of the other completed meta-analyses resulted in statistically significant associations between mild, moderate, or binge prenatal alcohol exposure and child neuropsychological outcomes.
ConclusionsOur findings support previous findings suggesting the detrimental effects of prenatal binge drinking on child cognition. Prenatal alcohol exposure at levels less than daily drinking might be detrimentally associated with child behavior. The results of this review highlight the importance of abstaining from binge drinking during pregnancy and provide evidence that there is no known safe amount of alcohol to consume while pregnant.

AB Non-destructive, in-line quality control methods were adopted for evaluating the thickness and homogeneity of wet and dry lithium secondary battery electrodes. Laser caliper and infrared ( IR) thermography methods were implemented in a systematic fashion for the first time to evaluate the quality of electrodes during the coating process on a slot-die coater. Laser caliper sensors were mounted, aligned, and subsequently calibrated at the oven inlet of the coating line in order to examine the thicknesses of different cathodes and anodes. The effect of various factors such as substrate vibration, temperature, surface reflectivity and laser positions on the thickness measurement during slot-die coating were evaluated. The setup was used to monitor the wet thickness of the cathode and anode, and the precision of the in-line laser thickness measurement was determined to be less than +/- 2%. Thickness deviation for cathodes was typically +/- 2.0-2.3%, and for anodes it was typically +/- 2.2-2.6%, which confirms excellent precision of the measurement. The homogeneity of the dried electrodes was also evaluated by IR thermography at the oven outlet of the coating line. Temperature profiles from thermography images of dry electrodes were carefully examined to detect any flaws and inhomogeneity present in the electrodes. An increase or decrease in the temperature profiles indicated defects/flaws in the electrodes that could not be observed in optical images. The techniques applied in this work will be helpful for detection of electrode flaws and contamination during large-scale manufacturing and to identify flawed product prior to lithium-ion cell assembly.

AB A thermocline tank is a low-cost thermal energy storage subsystem for concentrating solar power plants that typically utilizes molten salt and quartzite rock as storage media. Long-term thermal stability of the storage concept remains a design concern. A new model is developed to provide comprehensive simulation of thermocline tank operation at low computational cost, addressing deficiencies with previous models in the literature. The proposed model is then incorporated into a system-level model of a 100 MWe power tower plant to investigate storage performance during long-term operation. Solar irradiance data, taken from measurements for the year 1977 near Barstow, CA, are used as inputs to the simulation. The heliostat field and solar receiver are designed with DELSOL, while the transient receiver performance is simulated with SOLERGY. A meteorological year of plant simulation with a 6-h capacity for the thermocline tank storage yields an annual plant capacity factor of 0.531. The effectiveness of the thermocline tank at storing and delivering heat is sustained above 99% throughout the year, indicating that thermal stratification inside the tank is successfully maintained under realistic operating conditions. Despite its good thermal performance, structural stability of the thermocline tank remains a concern due to the large thermal expansion of the internal quartzite rock at elevated molten-salt temperatures, and requires further investigation.

ID SIDE MANAGEMENT; FLOW
AB Electricity generation from wind power and other renewable energy sources is increasing, and their variability introduces new challenges to the power system. The emergence of smart grid technologies in recent years has seen a paradigm shift in redefining the electrical system of the future, in which controlled response of the demand side is used to balance fluctuations and intermittencies from the generation side. This paper presents a modeling framework for an integrated electricity system where loads become an additional resource. Agent-based modeling is used to represent a smart grid power system integrating generators, transmission, distribution, loads and market. The model incorporates generator and load controllers, allowing suppliers and demanders to bid into a Real-Time Pricing (RTP) electricity market. The modeling framework is applied to represent a physical demonstration project conducted on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington, USA, and validation simulations are performed using actual dynamic data. Wind power is then introduced into the power generation mix illustrating the potential of demand response to mitigate the impact of wind power variability, primarily through thermostatically controlled loads. The results indicate that effective implementation of Demand Response (DR) to assist integration of variable renewable energy resources requires a diversity of loads to ensure functionality of the overall system.

AB Objective: Because long-term socioeconomic transformation and energy service expansion show large spatial heterogeneity, advanced understanding of climate change impact on buildings energy use at the sub-national level will offer useful insights into climate policy and regional energy system planning.
Methods: In this study, we present a detailed buildings energy model with U.S. state-level representation, nested in an integrated assessment framework of the Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM). We project state-level buildings energy demand and its spatial pattern through the end of the century, considering the impact of climate change based on the estimates of heating and cooling degree days derived from downscaled USGS CASCaDE temperature data.
Results: The results indicate that climate change has a large impact on heating and cooling buildings energy and fuel use at the state level and that the 48 U.S. contiguous states exhibit a large spatial heterogeneity (ranges from -10% to +10% for total, -10% to +20% for electricity use and -20% to -5% for oil and gas use in the A2 scenario). Sensitivity analysis explores the potential implications of multiple driving forces, including climate action that would both change the price of energy and reduce climate change, the choice of climate models, and population and GDP growth. In addition, the 50-state building model is compared to a comparable version of the model which represents the entire United States as one region.
Conclusions: The study clearly demonstrates the spatially varying nature of fuel consumption changes that might occur from a changing climate. Although the study illustrates the importance of incorporating climate change into infrastructure-planning exercises, it also demonstrates that uncertainties about underlying drivers still must weigh heavily on these planning decisions. Finally, the study demonstrates that the 50-state building model provides both insights at the regional level and potentially better national-level estimates.
Practice implication: The findings from this study will help the climate-based policy decision and energy system, especially utility planning related to the buildings sector at the U.S. state and regional level facing the potential climate change. C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB The majority of transportation-related CO2 growth will come from the developing world with projections suggesting that global CO2 emissions from transportation will at least double by 2050. Given that China will be a leading contributor to this growth in transportation-related CO2, this paper examines the impact of deploying different types of hybrid cars in China to offset some of the growth in CO2 emissions arising from rapidly growing vehicle sales.
To represent typical Chinese driving conditions, drive cycles are selected from 11 Chinese cities of different size, with the drive cycles capturing on peak and off peak driving times, and road types including freeways, major arterials, sub-arterials, and residential roads. The characteristics of the different drive cycles are compared against US drive cycles and it is found that Chinese driving often involves lower speed driving, a moderate stop frequency and more sudden acceleration and deceleration. The drive cycles are then used as inputs for powertrain models for a conventional engine-only vehicle, a mild parallel hybrid with integrated starter/generator, a power split hybrid, and a conventional gasoline vehicle with start stop functionality. The fuel savings potential from each vehicle architecture is compared against the conventional vehicle in US and Chinese driving conditions.
The results show that the driving conditions in China enable hybrid vehicles to achieve significantly greater fuel savings as compared with hybrids in the US, with parallel hybrids producing 25.5% fuel savings in China versus 13.2% fuel savings in the US and power split hybrids producing 53.6% fuel savings in China versus 32.6% fuel savings in the US. The fuel savings benefits from parallel and power split hybrids significantly exceed the fuel savings from conventional gasoline vehicles with start stop functionality for both the US and China. These results suggest that the increased cost of deploying hybrids will have significantly greater impact in Chinese driving conditions, and hybrid vehicles in China should be seriously considered for incentive programs (perhaps as part of the recently announced 2012-2020 China automotive industry development plan) to accelerate their deployment.

AB An accurate State of Charge (SoC) estimation method is one of the most significant and difficult techniques to promote the commercialization of electric vehicles. The paper attempts to make three contributions. (1) Through the recursive least square algorithm based identification method, the parameter of the lumped parameter battery model can be updated at each sampling interval with the real-time measurement of battery current and voltage, which is called the data-driven method. Note that the battery model has been improved with a simple electrochemical equation for describing the open circuit voltage against different aging levels and SoC. (2) Through the real-time updating technique of model parameter, a data-driven based adaptive SoC estimator is established with an adaptive extended Kalman filter. It has the potential to overcome the estimation error against battery degradation and varied operating environments. (3) The approach has been verified by different loading profiles of various health states of Lithiumion polymer battery (LiPB) cells. The results indicate that the maximum estimation errors of voltage and SoC are less than 1% and 1.5% respectively. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB We observe laser-induced grain morphology change in silicon nanopillars under a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) environment. We couple the TEM with a near-field scanning optical microscopy pulsed laser processing system. This novel combination enables immediate scrutiny on the grain morphologies that the pulsed laser irradiation produces. We find unusual transformation of the tip of the amorphous or polycrystalline silicon pillar into a single crystalline domain via melt-mediated crystallization. On the basis of the three-dimensional finite difference simulation result and the dark field TEM data, we propose that the creation of the distinct single crystalline tip originates from the dominant grain growth initiated at the apex of the non-planar liquid-solid interface. Our microscopic observation provides a fundamental basis for laser-induced conversion of amorphous nanostructures into coarse-grained crystals.

The investigation focuses on the non-precipitating closed-cell state and the precipitating open-cell state at low geostrophic wind speed. The Advanced Research WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model is used to conduct cloud system-resolving simulations with interactive surface fluxes of sensible heat, latent heat, and of sea salt aerosol, and with a detailed representation of the interaction between aerosol particles and clouds. The mechanisms responsible for the temporal evolution and spatial distribution of the surface heat fluxes in the closed-and open-cell state are investigated and explained. It is found that the closed-cell state imposes its horizontal spatial structure on surface air temperature and water vapor, and, to a lesser degree, on the surface sensible and latent heat flux. The responsible mechanism is the entrainment of dry, free tropospheric air into the boundary layer. The open-cell state is associated with oscillations in surface air temperature, water vapor, and in the surface fluxes of sensible heat, latent heat, and of sea salt aerosol. Here, the responsible mechanism is the periodic formation of clouds, rain, and of cold and moist pools with elevated wind speed. Open-cell cloud formation, cloud optical depth and liquid water path, and cloud and rain water path are identified as good predictors of the horizontal spatial structure of surface air temperature and sensible heat flux, but not of surface water vapor and latent heat flux. It is shown that the open-cell state creates conditions conducive to its maintenance by enhancing the surface sensible heat flux. The open-cell state also enhances the sea salt flux relative to the closed-cell state. While the open-cell state under consideration is not depleted in aerosol and is insensitive to variations in sea salt fluxes, in aerosol-depleted conditions, the enhancement of the sea salt flux may replenish the aerosol needed for cloud formation and hence contribute to the maintenance of the open-cell state. Spatial homogenization of the surface fluxes is found to have only a small effect on cloud properties in the investigated cases.

AB Mineral dust aerosols often observed over California in winter and spring, associated with long-range transport from Asia and the Sahara, have been linked to enhanced precipitation based on observations. Local anthropogenic pollution, on the other hand, was shown in previous observational and modeling studies to reduce precipitation. Here we incorporate recent developments in ice nucleation parameterizations to link aerosols with ice crystal formation in a spectralbin cloud microphysical model coupled with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model in order to examine the relative and combined impacts of dust and local pollution particles on cloud properties and precipitation type and intensity. Simulations are carried out for two cloud cases (from the CalWater 2011 field campaign) with contrasting meteorology and cloud dynamics that occurred on 16 February (FEB16) and 2 March (MAR02). In both cases, observations show the presence of dust and biological particles in a relative pristine environment. The simulated cloud microphysical properties and precipitation show reasonable agreement with aircraft and surface measurements. Model sensitivity experiments indicate that in the pristine environment, the dust and biological aerosol layers increase the accumulated precipitation by 10-20 % from the Central Valley to the Sierra Nevada for both FEB16 and MAR02 due to a similar to 40% increase in snow formation, validating the observational hypothesis. Model results show that local pollution increases precipitation over the windward slope of the mountains by a few percent due to increased snow formation when dust is present, but reduces precipitation by 5-8% if dust is removed on FEB16. The effects of local pollution on cloud microphysics and precipitation strongly depend on meteorology, including cloud dynamics and the strength of the Sierra Barrier Jet. This study further underscores the importance of the interactions between local pollution, dust, and environmental conditions for assessing aerosol effects on cold-season precipitation in California.

AB We report trace-gas emission factors from three pine-understory prescribed fires in South Carolina, US measured during the fall of 2011. The fires were more intense than many prescribed burns because the fuels included mature pine stands not subjected to prescribed fire in decades that were lit following an extended drought. Emission factors were measured with a fixed open-path Fourier transform infrared (OP-FTIR) system that was deployed on the fire control lines. We compare these emission factors to those measured with a roving, point sampling, land-based FTIR and an airborne FTIR deployed on the same fires. We also compare to emission factors measured by a similar OP-FTIR system deployed on savanna fires in Africa. The data suggest that the method used to sample smoke can strongly influence the relative abundance of the emissions that are observed. The majority of fire emissions were lofted in the convection column and were sampled by the airborne FTIR. The roving, ground-based, point sampling FTIR measured the contribution of individual residual smoldering combustion fuel elements scattered throughout the burn site. The OP-FTIR provided a similar to 30 m path-integrated sample of emissions transported to the fixed path via complex ground-level circulation. The OP-FTIR typically probed two distinct combustion regimes, "flaming-like" (immediately after adjacent ignition and before the adjacent plume achieved significant vertical development) and "smoldering-like." These two regimes are denoted "early" and "late", respectively. The path-integrated sample of the ground-level smoke layer adjacent to the fire from the OP-FTIR provided our best estimate of fire-line exposure to smoke for wildland fire personnel. We provide a table of estimated fire-line exposures for numerous known air toxics based on synthesizing results from several studies. Our data suggest that peak exposures are more likely to challenge permissible exposure limits for wildland fire personnel than shift-average (8 h) exposures.

AB Atmospheric measurements from the Arctic Summer Cloud Ocean Study (ASCOS) are used to evaluate the performance of three atmospheric reanalyses (European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF)-Interim reanalysis, National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)-National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) reanalysis, and NCEP-DOE (Department of Energy) reanalysis) and two global climate models (CAM5 (Community Atmosphere Model 5) and NASA GISS (Goddard Institute for Space Studies) ModelE2) in simulation of the high Arctic environment. Quantities analyzed include near surface meteorological variables such as temperature, pressure, humidity and winds, surface-based estimates of cloud and precipitation properties, the surface energy budget, and lower atmospheric temperature structure. In general, the models perform well in simulating large-scale dynamical quantities such as pressure and winds. Near-surface temperature and lower atmospheric stability, along with surface energy budget terms, are not as well represented due largely to errors in simulation of cloud occurrence, phase and altitude. Additionally, a development version of CAMS, which features improved handling of cloud macro physics, has demonstrated to improve simulation of cloud properties and liquid water amount. The ASCOS period additionally provides an excellent example of the benefits gained by evaluating individual budget terms, rather than simply evaluating the net end product, with large compensating errors between individual surface energy budget terms that result in the best net energy budget.

AB A source-oriented version of the Weather Research and Forecasting model with chemistry (SOWC, hereinafter) was developed. SOWC separately tracks primary particles with different hygroscopic properties rather than instantaneously combining them into an internal mixture. This approach avoids artificially mixing light absorbing black + brown carbon particles with materials such as sulfate that would encourage the formation of additional coatings. Source-oriented particles undergo coagulation and gas-particle conversion, but these processes are considered in a dynamic framework that realistically "ages" primary particles over hours and days in the atmosphere. SOWC more realistically predicts radiative feedbacks from anthropogenic aerosols compared to models that make internal mixing or other artificial mixing assumptions.
A three-week stagnation episode (15 December 2000 to 6 January 2001) in the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) during the California Regional PM10/PM2.5 Air Quality Study (CR-PAQS) was chosen for the initial application of the new modeling system. Primary particles emitted from diesel engines, wood smoke, high-sulfur fuel combustion, food cooking, and other anthropogenic sources were tracked separately throughout the simulation as they aged in the atmosphere.
Differences were identified between predictions from the source oriented vs. the internally mixed representation of particles with meteorological feedbacks in WRF/Chem for a number of meteorological parameters: aerosol extinction coefficients, downward shortwave flux, planetary boundary layer depth, and primary and secondary particulate matter concentrations. Comparisons with observations show that SOWC predicts particle scattering coefficients more accurately than the internally mixed model. Downward shortwave radiation predicted by SOWC is enhanced by similar to 1% at ground level chiefly because diesel engine particles in the source-oriented mixture are not artificially coated with material that increases their absorption efficiency. The extinction coefficient predicted by SOWC is reduced by an average of 0.012 km(-1) (4.8 %) in the SJV with a maximum reduction of similar to 0.2 km(-1). Planetary boundary layer (PBL) height is increased by an average of 5.2m (1.5 %) with a maximum of similar to 100 m in the SJV. Particulate matter concentrations predicted by SOWC are 2.23 mu g m(-3) (3.8 %) lower than the average by the internally mixed version of the same model in the SJV because increased solar radiation at the ground increases atmospheric mixing.
The changes in predicted meteorological parameters and particle concentrations identified in the current study stem from the mixing state of black carbon. The source-oriented model representation with realistic aging processes predicts that hydrophobic diesel engine particles remain largely uncoated over the + 7 day simulation period, while the internal mixture model representation predicts significant accumulation of secondary nitrate and water on diesel engine particles. Similar results will likely be found in any air pollution stagnation episode that is characterized by significant particulate nitrate production. Future work should consider episodes where coatings are predominantly sulfate and/or secondary organic aerosol.

AB Laue diffraction measurements made using polychromatic synchrotron x-radiation have revealed significant changes to the microscopic strain distributions in an Alloy 600 (UNS N06600) tube following the application of a circumferential (hoop) stress and then as a result of stress corrosion cracking (SCC). The changes in the elastic and plastic strain distributions were studied for the same area near the outer diameter of the tube prepared as a C-ring. Following the application of the circumferential stress, there was a notable loss of crystal order within the outermost 3 mu m to 5 mu m of the tube surface as a result of plastic processes; further into the sample the elastic strains in grain boundaries become oriented toward the direction of the impressed stress. The average intensity of oriented tensile strain is 5x10(-3) within the outermost 50 mu m of the C-ring. After corrosion, the elastic strain distribution in the same region becomes slightly compressive. The strains associated with a network of fine incipient cracks on the outside diameter of the C-ring were explored; elastic compressive strains were found within few micrometers from the crack center presumably as a result of crack opening, while plastic deformation was limited to the immediate crack region.

TI Energy savings from direct-DC in U.S. residential buildings

ID STORAGE; PV
AB An increasing number of energy-efficient appliances operate on direct current (DC) internally, offering the potential to use DC directly from renewable energy systems, thereby avoiding the energy losses inherent in converting power to alternating current (AC) and back. This paper investigates that potential for net-metered residences with on-site photovoltaics (PV) by modeling the net power draw of a 'direct-DC house' compared to that of a typical net-metered house with AC distribution, assuming identical DC-internal loads. The model comparisons were run for 14 cities in the United States, using hourly, simulated PV-system output and residential loads. The model tested the effects of climate and battery storage. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to determine how future changes in the efficiencies of power system components might affect potential energy savings. Based on this work, we estimate that net-metered PV residences could save 5% of their total electricity load for houses without storage and 14% for houses with storage. Direct-DC energy savings are sensitive to power system and appliance conversion efficiencies but are not significantly influenced by climate. Published by Elsevier B.V.

ID CONTROL-SYSTEMS; PERFORMANCE; OFFICES
AB Digital addressable, dimmable lighting controls were introduced to the US market in the early 2000s with the promise of energy savings while allowing greater flexibility than their analog counterpart. The New York Times Company installed this emerging technology, after thorough pre-procurement testing, in their new building in New York, NY. Four years after full occupancy (2007), the owner agreed to participate in post-occupancy monitoring of the lighting system to verify actual performance. Annual lighting energy savings from daylighting, setpoint tuning and occupancy controls were determined for the daylit, open-plan office areas on three typical floors (6th, 11th, and 20th) of the 51-story tower. Energy savings were calculated from data recorded by the lighting control system, after calibration through independent energy consumption measurements. Savings from dimming controls (daylighting and setpoint tuning) were 12.6 kWh/m(2) yr for the daylit spaces on the three floors overall, or 20%, relative to ASHRAE 90.1-2007. Against the prescriptive code in effect at the time of the building's construction (ASHRAE 90.1-2001), savings were 21.0 kWh/m(2) yr or 28%. Annual lighting energy use with all lighting control strategies was 33.9 kWh/m(2) yr in the daylit, open plan zones on average for the three floors. A simple payback analysis was conducted.

AB Purpose: Plutonium-nitrate has a moderately rapid translocation rate from the lung to blood stream. Previous studies have shown an unexpected retention of soluble plutonium in the beagles and human case studied here. The inflammatory responses that may be associated with long-term exposure to ionizing radiation were characterized. These pathways include tissue injury, apoptosis, and gene expression modifications. Other protein modifications related to carcinogenesis and inflammation and the various factors that may play a role in orchestrating complex interactions which influence tissue integrity following irradiation were investigated.
Materials and methods: We have examined numerous lung samples from a plutonium-exposed worker, a human control, and a variety of plutonium-exposed beagle dogs using immunohistochemistry and quantitative Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR).
Results : The exposed human showed interstitial fibrosis in peripheral regions of the lung, but no pulmonary tumors. Beagles with similar doses were diagnosed with tumors in bronchiolo-alveolar, peripheral and sub-pleural alveolar regions of the lung. The terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay showed an elevation of apoptosis in tracheal mucosa, tumor cells, and nuclear debris in the alveoli and lymph nodes of the beagles but not in the human case. In both the beagles and human there were statistically significant modifications in the expression of Fas ligand (FASLG), B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2), and Caspase 3 (CASP3).
Conclusions : The data suggests that FASLG, BCL2, CASP3 and apoptosis play a role in the inflammatory responses following prolonged plutonium exposure. Utilizing these unique tissues revealed which pathways are triggered following the internal deposition and long-term retention of plutonium-nitrate in a human and a large animal model.

AB Ultrafast laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) has gained prominence in recent times owing to its superior capabilities in eliminating fractionation effects providing the possibility of developing a non-matrix matched calibration system. Though ultrafast laser ablation sample introduction provides better accuracy and precision compared to long-pulse nanosecond lasers, the fundamental ablation mechanisms using femtosecond lasers are still not clearly understood. In this study, the role of spot size, fluence and repetition rate has been studied using brass and NIST 612 samples to understand their signal intensity and fractionation effects. A white light interferometric microscope has been used for crater analysis and the results are correlated with the LA-ICP-MS signal intensity and measured elemental ratios. The results show that the spot size, laser fluence and repetition rate can play an important role in overall performance of the LA-ICP-MS system as well as in elemental fractionation. Crater measurements also show that the ablation mechanisms are different for the NIST 612 sample and brass and the observed differences are discussed using ultrafast ablation theories.

AB An effective way of synthesizing graphene-wrapped Li4Ti5O12 particles was developed by solid-state reaction between graphene oxide-wrapped P25 (TiO2) and Li2CO3. Compared to the previously reported graphene/Li4Ti5O12 composites, prior wrapping of TiO2 with subsequent chemical lithiation led to more effectively confined Li4Ti5O12. The Li4Ti5O12 tightly bound by graphene exhibited a remarkable specific capacity of 147 mA h g(-1) at a rate of 10 degrees C (1C = 175 mA g(-1)) after 100 cycles. This rate capability is one of the highest values among reported Li4Ti5O12 with 150 +/- 50 nm grains. The improved rate capability was attributed to the enhanced electronic conductivity of each Li4Ti5O12 grain via uniform graphene wrapping, with single-grain growth during annealing from the initial similar to 25 nm TiO2 nanoparticles enclosed by outer graphene sheets. Graphene-eliminated Li4Ti5O12 by thermal decomposition was also directly compared to the graphene-coated sample, to clarify the role of graphene with nearly equivalent particle size/morphology distributions.

AB Grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations of hydrogen sorption were performed in rht-MOF-1, a metal-organic framework (MOF) that consists of isophthalate groups joined by copper paddlewheel clusters and Cu3O trimers through tetrazolate moeities. This is a charged rht-MOF that contains extra-framework nitrate counterions within the material. For the simulations performed herein, excellent agreement with experiment was achieved for the simulated hydrogen sorption isotherms and calculated isosteric heat of adsorption, Q(st), values only when using a polarizable potential. Thermodynamic agreement is demonstrated via comparing to experimental isotherms and binding sites are revealed by combining simulation and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) data. Simulations involving explicit manybody polarization interactions assisted in the determination of the binding sites in rht-MOF-1 through the distribution of the induced dipoles that led to strong adsorbate interactions. Four distinct hydrogen sorption sites were determined from the polarization distribution: the nitrate ions located in the corners of the truncated tetrahedral cages, the Cu2+ ions of the paddlewheels that project into the truncated tetrahedral and truncated octahedral cages (Cu1 ions), the Cu2+ ions of the Cu3O trimers (Cu3 ions), and the sides of the paddlewheels in the cuboctahedral cage. The simulations revealed that the initial sorption sites for hydrogen in rht-MOF-1 are the nitrate ions; this site corresponds to the high initial Q(st) value for hydrogen (9.5 kJ mol(-1)) in the MOF. The radial distribution functions, g(r), about the Cu2+ ions at various loadings revealed that the Cu1 ions are the preferred open-metal sorption sites for hydrogen at low loading, while the Cu3 ions become occupied at higher loadings. The validation of the aforementioned sorption sites in rht-MOF-1 was confirmed by calculating the two-dimensional quantum rotational levels about each site and comparing the levels to the transitions that were observed in the experimental INS spectra for hydrogen in the compound. For each binding site, the rotational transitions from j = 0 to j = 1 were in good agreement to certain transitions that were observed in the INS spectra. From these calculations, the assignment of the peaks in the INS spectra for hydrogen in rht-MOF-1 has been made.

AB To achieve excellent long-term cycling stability of LiFePO4-based batteries at elevated temperatures, mixed salts of LiTFSI and LiBOB are used to replace the LiPF6 salt in non-aqueous electrolytes. It is found that adding LiBOB into LiTFSI-based electrolytes effectively prevents severe corrosion to the Al current collector that is often observed in LiTFSI-based electrolytes which have high thermal stability. The LiFePO4 cells using LiTFSI-LiBOB-based electrolytes demonstrate superior high temperature (60 degrees C) stability and similar room temperature performance (i.e., cycling stability and rate capability) when compared to the cells using the LiPF6-based electrolyte.

AB One interesting class of materials for oxygen storage applications are double perovskite oxides due to their ability to rapidly store and release oxygen. Previously, the double perovskite BaYMn2O5+delta was shown to rapidly and reversibly store and release oxygen with unprecedented kinetics. In this work, four double perovskite materials, BaLaFe2O5+delta, BaLaCo2O5+delta, BaYCo2O5+delta, and BaYFe2O5+delta, were synthesized and characterized. TGA experimental results for all four samples demonstrate rapid and reversible oxygen storage. The two Fe-containing compounds are the most stable for multiple adsorption/desorption cycles with both nitrogen/air and hydrogen/air at multiple temperatures and have been demonstrated to oxidize methane.

AB Neutron scattering and first principles simulation are integrated to reveal the atomic-level to nano-scale structure of lithium lanthanum titanate (LLTO), a representative solid electrolyte material with applications in Li-ion batteries. The integrated approach solves the hierarchical local structure of LLTO in detail, including the coupled chemical order and topological distortion, as well as their correlation length scale and the spatial modulation with coherent boundaries. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations are used to map out the distribution of the mobile ions and identify the migration pathway. Overall, this integrated approach provides powerful means for detailed study of materials with complex local chemical and topological environment.

ID HYDROGEN; SYSTEM
AB The decomposition of uranium hydride powder was studied using thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). In the TDS spectra, three distinct decomposition peaks were observed. However, only the high temperature peak was associated with an activation energy, calculated to be 43 kJ/mol H. This activation energy was used to construct outgassing diagrams that can be used to estimate the temperature and time dependence of UH3 decomposition. Potential models for explaining the three decomposition peaks and, thus, the decomposition mechanism are also presented and compared with H desorption energies calculated from first principles. Additional experiments on alpha-U coupons containing UH3 corrosion pits were also performed. In those samples in excess of 6 peaks are observed. It is shown that the first three hydrogen peaks are related to the decomposition of UH3. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Stability of materials under extreme conditions is an important issue for safety of nuclear reactors. Presently, silicon carbide (SiC) is being studied as a cladding material candidate for fuel rods in boiling-water and pressurized water-cooled reactors (BWRs and PWRs) that would substitute or modify traditional zircaloy materials. The rate of corrosion of the SiC ceramics in hot vapor environment (up to 2200 C) simulating emergency conditions of light water reactor (LWR) depends on many environmental factors such as pressure, temperature, viscosity, and surface quality. Using the paralinear oxidation theory developed for ceramics in the combustion reactor environment, we estimated the corrosion rate of SiC ceramics under the conditions representing a significant power excursion in a LWR. It was established that a significant time - at least 100 h - is required for a typical SiC braiding to significantly degrade even in the most aggressive vapor environment (with temperatures up to 2200 degrees C) which is possible in a LWR at emergency condition. This provides evidence in favor of using the SiC coatings/braidings for additional protection of nuclear reactor rods against off-normal material degradation during power excursions or LOCA incidents. Additionally, we discuss possibilities of using other silica based ceramics in order to find materials with even higher corrosion resistance than SiC. In particular, we found that zircon (ZrSiO4) is also a very promising material for nuclear applications. Thermodynamic and first-principles atomic-scale calculations provide evidence of zircon thermodynamic stability in aggressive environments at least up to 1535 degrees C Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB Zirconium-based alloys Zircaloy-2 and Zircaloy-4 are widely used in nuclear industry as cladding materials for BWRs and PWRs, respectively. Over more than 60 years these materials displayed a very good combination of properties such as low neutron absorption, creep behavior, stress-corrosion cracking resistance, reduced hydrogen uptake, corrosion, and/or oxidation, especially in the case of Zircaloy-4 [1-3]. However, over the last couple of years energetic efforts were undertaken to improve their oxidation resistance during off-normal temperature excursions, as well as to further improve upon the already achieved levels of mechanical behavior and reduced hydrogen uptake [1-3]. In order to facilitate the development of such novel materials, it is very important to achieve not only engineering control, but also scientific understanding of the underlying material degradation mechanisms, both in working conditions and in storage of spent nuclear fuel.
This paper strives to contribute to these efforts by constructing the thermodynamic models of both alloys, constructing of the respective phase diagrams, and oxidation mechanisms. A special emphasis was placed upon the role of zirconium suboxides [4] in hydrogen uptake reduction and the atomic mechanisms of oxidation. To that end, computational thermodynamics calculations were conducted concurrently with first-principles atomistic modeling. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB A series of gasification experiments, using two right cylinder specimens (similar to 12.7 x 25.4 mm and 25.4 x 25.4 mm) of PCEA nuclear graphite in ambient airflow, measured the total gasification flux at weight losses up to 41.5% and temperatures (893-1015 K) characteristics of those for in-pores gasification Mode (a) and in-pores diffusion-limited Mode (b). The chemical kinetics parameters for the gasification of PCEA graphite are determined using a multi-parameters optimization algorithm from the measurements of the total gasification rate and transient weight loss in experiments. These parameters are: (i) the pre-exponential rate coefficients and the Gaussian distributions and values of specific activation energies for adsorption of oxygen and desorption of CO gas; (ii) the specific activation energy and pre-exponential rate coefficient for the breakup of stable un-dissociated C(O-2) oxygen radicals to form stable.(CO) complexes; (iii) the specific activation energy and pre-exponential coefficient for desorption of CO2 gas and; (iv) the initial surface area of reactive free sites per unit mass. This area is consistently 13.5% higher than that for nuclear graphite grades of NBG-25 and IG-110 and decreases inversely proportional with the square root of the initial mass of the graphite specimens in the experiments. Experimental measurements successfully validate the chemical-reactions kinetics model that calculates continuous Arrhenius curves of the total gasification flux and the production rates of CO and CO2 gases. The model results at different total weight losses agree well with measurements and expand beyond the temperatures in the experiments to the diffusion-limited mode of gasification. Also calculated are the production rates of CO and CO2 gases and their relative contributions to the total gasification rate in the experiments as functions of temperature, for total weight losses of 5% and 10%.

AB Predicting the thermal conductivity of oxide fuels as a function of burn-up and temperature is fundamental to the efficient and safe operation of nuclear reactors. However, modeling the thermal conductivity of fuel is greatly complicated by the radially inhomogeneous nature of irradiated fuel in both composition and microstructure. In this work, radially and temperature-dependent models for effective thermal conductivity were developed utilizing optical micrographs of high burn-up mixed oxide fuel. The micrographs were employed to create finite element meshes with the OOF2 software. The meshes were then used to calculate the effective thermal conductivity of the microstructures using the BISON [1] fuel performance code. The new thermal conductivity models were used to calculate thermal profiles at end of life for the fuel pellets. These results were compared to thermal conductivity models from the literature, and comparison between the new finite element-based thermal conductivity model and the Duriez-Lucuta model was favorable.

AB The temperature dependence of fracture toughness in HT9 steel irradiated to 3-145 dpa at 380-503 degrees C was investigated using miniature three-point bend (TPB) fracture specimens. A miniature-specimen reuse technique has been established: the tested halves of subsize Charpy impact specimens with dimensions of 27 mm x 3 mm x 4 mm were reused for this fracture test campaign by cutting a notch with a diamond-saw in the middle of each half, and by fatigue-precracking to generate a sharp crack tip. It was confirmed that the fracture toughness of HT9 steel in the dose range depends more strongly on the irradiation temperature than the irradiation dose. At an irradiation temperature <430 degrees C, the fracture toughness of irradiated HT9 increased with the test temperature, reached an upper shelf of 180-200 MPa root m at 350-450 degrees C, and then decreased with the test temperature. At an irradiation temperature >= 430 degrees C, the fracture toughness was nearly unchanged up to about 450 degrees C and decreased slowly with test temperatures in a higher temperature range. Such a rather monotonic test temperature dependence after high-temperature irradiation is similar to that observed for an archive material generally showing a higher degree of toughness. A brittle fracture without stable crack growth occurred in only a few specimens with relatively lower irradiation and test temperatures. In this discussion, these TPB fracture toughness data are compared with previously published data from 12.7 mm diameter disc compact tension (DCT) specimens. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

AB Mixing energies (Delta H-mix) for fluorite-structured (Zr1-xCex)O-2 and (Th1-xCex)O-2 solid solutions are computed from density functional theory (DFT), employing cluster-expansion (CE), special-quasirandom-structure (SQS), and continuum-elasticity approaches. These systems are of interest as models for actinide-dioxide mixtures, due to the availability of calorimetric data which allows a direct assessment of the accuracy of the different computational methods for calculating Delta H-mix in such fluorite-structured solid solutions. The DFT-based SQS and CE results for solid solutions with random configurational disorder are in very good agreement, and are used along with the calorimetry data to test the accuracy of a linear-elasticity model which allows predictions of the Delta H-mix under the assumption that the dominant contribution in these homovalent solid solutions arises from elastic strain energy. The linear-elasticity models describe the mixing energies to within an accuracy of approximately 2 and 0.1 kJ/mol for the Zr and Th based systems, respectively. The excellent accuracy for the ThO2-based system is interpreted to result from the smaller size mismatch, and corresponding high accuracy of the linear elasticity approximation. We thus apply elasticity theory to estimate the magnitudes of Delta H-mix for (Th1-xMx)O-2 and (U1-xMx)O-2 actinide-dioxide solid solutions, with M = U, Th, Ce, Np, Pu and Am, for which the degree of size mismatch is comparable to that in (Th1-xCex)O-2; the results yield elastic contributions to Delta H-mix with a maximum magnitude of 3 kJ/mol.

AB We address a recently communicated conception that spin-orbit interaction and strong electron correlations are important for the metal fuel U-Zr system. Here, we show that (i) relativistic effects only marginally correct the uranium metal equation-of-state and (ii) addition of onsite Coulomb repulsion leads to an unphysical magnetic ground state of the body-centered cubic (gamma) phase and a grossly overestimated equilibrium volume. Consequently, LSDA + U is deemed unsuitable for describing the electronic structure of the U-Zr system. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

SO JOURNAL OF NUCLEAR MATERIALS

ID MAGNESIUM-OXIDE; FUEL; TRANSMUTATION; PYROCHLORE; MGO
AB Inert matrix fuels based on magnesium oxide (MgO) as the inert phase have been of historic interest due to its high thermal conductivity. Minor actinide-bearing phases possessing an A(2)B(2)O(7) pyrochlore structure are also believed to contain a range of favorable attributes, suggesting a possible pairing with MgO to yield a high performance inert matrix fuel. The thermal diffusivity, heat capacity, and thermal expansion of MgO-Nd2Zr2O7 composites were measured from room temperature to 1273 K, where the MgO phase content was varied from 40 to 70 volume percent. The thermal conductivity of each composition was calculated using these results and then compared to widely employed methods to approximate the thermal conductivity of composite materials based upon the properties of the constituent phases. Results suggest that use of either a rule of mixtures or geometric mean approximation for the thermal conductivity of composite systems such as this one would be subject to significant uncertainties when the constituent properties widely differ. A sigmoidal average of the upper and lower Hashin-Shtrikman bounds was found to be in good agreement with the thermal conductivity of the composites as determined experimentally.

AB Low cycle fatigue (LCF) and creep-fatigue testing of Ni-based alloy 617 was carried out at 850 degrees C. Compared with its LCF life, the material's creep-fatigue life decreases to different extents depending on test conditions. To elucidate the microstructure-fatigue property relationship for alloy 617 and the effect of creep and oxidation on its fatigue life, systematic microstructural investigations were carried out using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). In LCF tests, as the total strain range increased, deformations concentrated near high angle grain boundaries (HAGBs). The strain hold period in the creep-fatigue tests introduced additional creep damage to the material, which revealed the detrimental effect of the strain hold time on the material fatigue life in two ways. First, the strain hold time enhanced the localized deformation near HAGBs, resulting in the promotion of intergranular cracking of alloy 617. Second, the strain hold time encouraged grain boundary sliding, which resulted in interior intergranular cracking of the material. Oxidation accelerated the initiation of intergranular cracking in alloy 617. In the crack propagation stage, if oxidation was promoted and the cyclic oxidation damage was greater than the fatigue damage, oxidation-assisted intergranular crack growth resulted in a significant reduction in the material's fatigue life, (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

In this work dual column focused ion beam (FIB)/scanning electron microscope (SEM) was utilized to prepared transmission electron microscope samples from mixed oxide fuel with a burn-up of 6.7% FIMA. Utilizing the FIB/SEM for preparation resulted in samples with a dose rate of <0.5 mRem/h compared to similar to 1.1 R/h for a traditionally prepared TEM sample. The TEM analysis showed that the sample taken from the cooler rim region of the fuel pellet had similar to 2.5 x higher dislocation density than that of the sample taken from the mid-radius due to the lower irradiation temperature of the rim. The dual column FIB/SEM was additionally used to prepared and serially slice similar to 25 mu m cubes. High quality electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD) were collected from the face at each step, showing, for the first time, the ability to obtain EBSD data from high activity irradiated fuel.

AB Glass ceramics are being developed to immobilize fission products, separated from used nuclear fuel by aqueous reprocessing, into a stable waste form suitable for disposal in a geological repository. This work documents the glass ceramic formulation at bench scale and for a scaled melter test performed in a pilot-scale (similar to 1/4 scale) cold crucible induction melter (CCIM). Melt viscosity, electrical conductivity, and crystallization behavior upon cooling were measured on a small set of compositions to select a formulation for melter testing. Property measurements also identified a temperature range for melter operation and cooling profiles necessary to crystallize the targeted phases in the waste form. Bench scale and melter run results successfully demonstrate the processability of the glass ceramic using the CCIM melter technology. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Individual proteomes typically differ from the reference human proteome at similar to 10 000 single amino acid variants. When viewed on the population scale, this individual variation results in a wide variety of protein sequences. In targeted proteomics experiments, such variability can confound accurate protein quantification. To assist researchers in identifying target peptides with high variability within the human population, we have created the Population Variation plug-in for Skyline, which provides easy access to the polymorphisms stored in dbSNP. Given a set of peptides, the tool reports minor allele frequency for common polymorphisms. We highlight the importance of considering genetic variation by applying the tool to public data sets.

AB The far-field radiation originating from a finite-length pipe is well studied, especially for steady-state conditions. However, because all physical systems do not begin in steady state, these radiation characteristics are only valid after the transient portion of the solution has decayed. Understanding transient radiation characteristics may be important (particularly for systems transmitting very short-duration signals), as they can differ quite significantly. A numerical complication to this problem involves dealing with a sharp corner in the domain of interest. While many numerical studies have attempted to couple solutions from the domains inside and outside a pipe, the analysis presented in this work treats the computational domain as a single region by expressing the entire physical domain as a map from a simple rectangular domain in generalized curvilinear coordinates. This method will be introduced in detail and general results of transient radiation will be presented for an infinitely baffled, finite-length pipe using the finite-difference method expressed in generalized curvilinear coordinates. Comparison will be made to previous results [P. Stepanishen and R. A. Tougas, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 93, 3074-3084 (1993)] that used a semi-analytic approach with certain assumptions.

AB Aframe indifferent formulation of the energy and force on a dislocation in a line tension model in an anisotropic elasticity media is presented. This formulation is valid for any dislocation line direction and Burgers' vector and expresses the energy and force in terms of an integral for which no general analytical solution can be calculated. Three numerical methods are investigated to evaluate the energy and the force: direct numerical integration, spherical harmonics expansions and an interpolation table method. We analyze the convergence and computational cost of each method and compare them with a view to selecting the most appropriate for implementation in large scale dislocation dynamics codes.

AB A cohesive zone model is applied to a finite element (FE) scheme to simulate indentation cracking in brittle materials. Limitations of using the cohesive zone model to study indentation cracking are determined from simulations of a standard fracture toughness specimen and a two-dimensional indentation cracking problem wherein the morphology of the crack and the geometry of the indenter are simplified. It is found that the principles of linear-elastic fracture mechanics can be applied when indentation cracks are long in comparison to the size of the cohesive zone. Vickers and Berkovich pyramidal indentation crack morphologies (3D) are also investigated and found to be controlled by the ratio of elastic modulus to yield strength (E/Y), with median type cracking dominating at low ratios (e.g. E/Y = 10) and Palmqvist type cracking at higher ratios (e.g. E/Y = 100). The results show that cohesive FE simulations of indentation cracking can indeed be used to critically examine the complex relationships between crack morphology, material properties, indenter geometry, and indentation test measurements, provided the crack length is long in comparison to the cohesive zone size.

AB We present a first-principles theoretical study of electric field-and straincontrolled intrinsic half-metallic properties of zigzagged aluminium nitride (AlN) nanoribbons. We show that the half-metallic property of AlN ribbons can undergo a transition into fully-metallic or semiconducting behavior with application of an electric field or uniaxial strain. An external transverse electric field induces a full charge screening that renders the material semiconducting. In contrast, as uniaxial strain varies from compressive to tensile, a spin-resolved selective self-doping increases the half-metallic character of the ribbons. The relevant strain-induced changes in electronic properties arise from band structure modifications at the Fermi level as a consequence of a spin-polarized charge transfer between p-orbitals of the N and Al edge atoms in a spin-resolved self-doping process. This band structure tunability indicates the possibility of designing magnetic nanoribbons with tunable electronic structure by deriving edge states from elements with sufficiently different localization properties. Finite temperature molecular dynamics reveal a thermally stable half-metallic nanoribbon up to room temperature.

DE RELAP5; NBSR; National Institute of Standards and Technology
AB Reactivity insertion accidents have been analyzed for the 20-MW D2O-moderated research reactor (NBSR) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The analysis has been carried out for the present core, which contains highly enriched uranium fuel, and for a proposed equilibrium core with low-enriched uranium fuel. The time-dependent analysis of the primary system is performed with a RELAP5 model that includes the reactor vessel, primary coolant pump, heat exchanger, fuel element geometry, and flow channels for both the 6 inner and 24 outer fuel elements. Postprocessing of the simulation results has been conducted to evaluate minimum critical heat flux (CHF) ratio and minimum onset of flow instability (OFI) ratio using the Sudo-Kaminaga correlations and Saha-Zuber criteria, respectively.
Evaluations are carried out for the control rod withdrawal start-up accident and the maximum reactivity insertion accident. In both cases the RELAP5 results indicate that no damage to the fuel will occur and there is adequate margin to CHF and OFI because of sufficient coolant flow through the fuel channels and the negative reactivity insertion due to scram.

AB Cell adhesion proteins play critical roles in positioning cells during development, segregating cells into distinct tissue compartments and in maintaining tissue integrity. The principle function of these proteins is to bind cells together and resist mechanical force. Adhesive proteins also enable migrating cells to adhere and roll on surfaces even in the presence of shear forces exerted by fluid flow. Recently, several experimental and theoretical studies have provided quantitative insights into the physical mechanisms by which adhesion proteins modulate their unbinding kinetics in response to tensile force. This perspective reviews these biophysical investigations. We focus on single molecule studies of cadherins, selectins, integrins, the von Willebrand factor and FimH adhesion proteins; the effect of mechanical force on the lifetime of these interactions has been extensively characterized. We review both theoretical models and experimental investigations and discuss future directions in this exciting area of research.

AB Weakly-bound atoms and molecules (Ar, Kr, Xe, CO, CH4, CO2, CH3OH, N2O, and N-2) are used to probe the photochemical interactions of chemisorbed oxygen on rutile TiO2(110). Ultraviolet irradiation of chemisorbed oxygen co-adsorbed with the probe species leads to photon-stimulated desorption (PSD) of some of the probe species (e.g. Kr and CH4), but not others (e.g. CO2 and N2O). Without chemisorbed oxygen, the PSD yields of all the probe species are very low or not observed. Surprisingly, both chemisorbed O-2 and oxygen adatoms, O-a, are photo-active for desorption of Kr and other weakly-bound species. To our knowledge, this is the first evidence for photo-activity of O-a on TiO2(110). The Kr PSD yield increases with increasing coverage of Kr and of chemisorbed oxygen. For Kr, the angular distribution of the photodesorbed atoms is approximately cosine. The Kr distribution is quite different from the angular distribution for the O-2 PSD, which is sharply peaked along the surface normal. We propose that various forms of chemisorbed oxygen are excited by reactions with electrons and/or holes created in the TiO2 substrate by UV photon irradiation. The photo-excited oxygen collides with, and transfers energy to, neighboring co-adsorbed atoms or molecules. For co-adsorbates with a small enough binding energy to the substrate, desorption may result. The observed phenomenon provides a new tool for studying photochemical processes.

AB We used density functional theory to study the electrochemical conversion of nitrogen to ammonia on the (001), (100/010), (101), and (111) surfaces of gamma-Mo2N. Based on the calculated free energy profiles for the reduction of nitrogen by the associative and dissociative mechanisms, reactivity was found to decrease in the order (111) > (101) > (100/010) approximate to (001). Namely, the cell potentials needed to drive the reduction to ammonia increase in the following order: -0.7 V on (111), -1.2 V on (101), and -1.4 V on (100/010) and (001) surfaces. The (111) surface was found to be the most reactive for nitrogen due to (i) its ability to adsorb the N-2 in the side-on position which activates N-N bonding and (ii) its high affinity for N-adatoms which also prevents accumulation of H-adatoms on the catalytic surface at low cell potentials. We have also calculated vibrational frequencies of different NxHy species adsorbed on various gamma-Mo2N surfaces. The frequencies are found to depend strongly on the type of the binding sites available on the crystal facets. A comparison of the calculated frequencies with the frequencies of the corresponding species in transition metal complexes and other metal surfaces shows that the frequencies of several signature modes fall in a similar region and might be used to assign the spectra of hydrogen and nitrogen containing surface species on different metal surfaces.

AB The conversion reactions of pure NiF2 and the NiO-doped NiF2-C composite (NiO-NiF2-C) were investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and pair distribution function (PDF) analysis. The enhanced electronic conductivity of NiO-NiF2-C is associated with a significant improvement in the reversibility of the conversion reaction compared to pure NiF2. Different evolutions of the size distributions of the Ni nanoparticles formed during discharge were observed. While a bimodal nanoparticle size distribution was maintained for NiO-NiF2-C following the 1st and 2nd discharge, for pure NiF2 only smaller nanoparticles (similar to 14 angstrom) remained following the 2nd discharge. We postulate that the solid electrolyte interphase formed upon the 1st discharge at large overpotential retards the growth of metallic Ni leading to formation of smaller Ni particles during the 2nd discharge. In contrast, the NiO doping and the carbon layer covering the NiO-NiF2-C possibly facilitate the conversion process on the surface preserving the reaction kinetics upon the 2nd discharge. Based on the electronic conductivity and surface properties, the resulting size of the Ni nanoparticles is associated with the conversion kinetics and consequently the cyclability.

AB Evolving factor analysis (EFA) of X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) data is shown to be a useful tool to understand the phase relationships and compositional ranges of stability in the LiVPO4F-VPO4F system. EFA was used to calculate the concentration of phases versus state-of-charge in a lithium-ion battery and true XANES spectra. The results of EFA showed that, indeed, three phases were present during cycling of a LiVPO(4)FJLi cell: LiVPO4F, LixVPO4F, and VPO4F. In contrast to what was reported by others, the second phase was not a fixed composition with x = 0.67, but, instead, existed over a range of lithium stoichiometry, x = 0.25 to 0.80. EFA results also showed that the reactions leading to these phases are reversible.

The pair are also comparable with the equation < R(M-O)> = 1.43(< s >/r)(-0.21) determined for oxide crystals at ambient conditions and < R(M-O)> = 1.39(< s >/r)(-0.22) determined for geometry-optimized hydroxyacid molecules that relate the geometry-optimized bond lengths to the average Pauling bond strength, < s >, for the M-O bonded interactions. On the basis of the correspondence between the equations relating and < s > with bond length, it seems plausible that the Pauling bond strength might serve a rough estimate of the accumulation of the electron density between M-O bonded pairs of atoms. Similar expressions, relating bond length and bond strength hold for fluoride, nitride and sulfide molecules and crystals. The similarity of the expressions for the crystals and molecules is compelling evidence that molecular and crystalline M-O bonded interactions are intrinsically related. The value of = r[(1.41)/< R(M-O)>](4.76) determined for the average bond length for a given coordination polyhedron closely matches the Pauling's electrostatic bond strength reaching each the coordinating anions of the coordinated polyhedron. Despite the relative simplicity of the expression, it appears to be more general in its application in that it holds for the bulk of the M-O bonded pairs of atoms of the periodic table.

AB Plant cell walls define cell shape during development and are composed of interlaced carbohydrate and protein networks. Fluorescent dyes have long been used to label plant cell walls, enabling optical microscopy-based interrogation of cell wall structure and composition. However, the specific cell wall components to which these dyes bind are often poorly defined. The availability of fluorescent compound libraries provides the potential to screen for and identify new fluorescent compounds that interact with specific plant cell wall components, enabling the study of cell wall architecture in intact, living tissues. Here, we describe a technique for screening fluorescent compound libraries for enhanced fluorescence upon interaction with plant cell walls, a secondary screening method to identify which cell wall components interact with a given dye, and a protocol for staining and observing Arabidopsis seedlings using a fluorescent cell wall-labeling dye. These methods have the potential to be applied to screening for differences in cell wall structure and composition among genetically diverse plant varieties or species.

AB We provide a meta-analysis of several recent analytical studies that evaluate the possibility, operability, and implications of high levels of renewable sources of electricity (RES-E) in power systems. These studies span different geographic regions, rely on a range of analytical methods and data assumptions, and were conducted with differing objectives. Despite the differences, these studies share some common conclusions, one of which is that renewable energy resources can play a large role in future power systems. Moreover, most of the studies address aspects of integrating these resources into system operations, and all of them conclude that RES-E can supply, on an hourly basis, a majority of a country's or region's electricity demand. We compare the analytic approaches, data inputs, and results in an effort to provide additional transparency and information to policy makers. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI Renewable energy potential on marginal lands in the United States
SO RENEWABLE & SUSTAINABLE ENERGY REVIEWS
LA English
DT Review
DE Renewable energy; Renewable resources; Marginal lands
AB This study identifies several marginal land categories suitable for renewable energy development, representing about 11% of U.S. mainland. The authors define marginal lands as areas with inherent disadvantages or lands that have been marginalized by natural and/or artificial forces. These lands are generally underused, difficult to cultivate, have low economic value, and varied developmental potential. The study finds that a significant potential exists for renewable energy development on these lands. Technologies assessed include utility-scale photovoltaics (PV), concentrating solar power (CSP), wind, hydrothermal geothermal, mini-hydro systems (low head/low power), biomass power, and landfill gas-to-energy. Solar technologies present the highest opportunity, followed by wind and biomass power. It is estimated that about 4.5 PWh of electricity could be produced from PV on marginal lands in the conterminous United States, 4 PWh from CSP, 2.7 PWh from wind, 1.9 PWh from biomass, 11 TWh from mini-hydropower systems, 8.8 TWh from hydrothermal geothermal, and 7.3 TWh from landfill gas. While it is possible for some technologies to be co-located, it is more likely that only one will be deployed in a given area. Thus, it is most reasonable to view the potential for different technologies separately. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB This paper reviews central receiver designs for concentrating solar power applications with high-temperature power cycles. Desired features include low-cost and durable materials that can withstand high concentration ratios (similar to 1000 suns), heat-transfer fluids that can withstand temperatures > 650 degrees C, high solar absorptance, and low radiative and convective heat losses leading to a thermal efficiency > 90%. Different receiver designs are categorized and evaluated in this paper: (1) gas receivers, (2) liquid receivers, and (3) solid particle receivers. For each design, the following information is provided: general principle and review of previous modeling and testing activities, expected outlet temperature and thermal efficiency, benefits, perceived challenges, and research needs. Emerging receiver designs that can enable higher thermal-to-electric efficiencies (50% or higher) using advanced power cycles such as supercritical CO2 closed-loop Brayton cycles include direct heating of CO2 in tubular receiver designs (external or cavity) that can withstand high internal fluid pressures (similar to 20 MPa) and temperatures (similar to 700 degrees C). Indirect heating of other fluids and materials that can be stored at high temperatures such as advanced molten salts, liquid metals, or solid particles are also being pursued, but challenges include stability, heat loss, and the need for high-temperature heat exchangers.

AB This paper presents simulation results related to coupled thermal-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) processes in engineered barrier systems (EBS) and clay host rock, in one case considering a possible link to geochemistry. This study is part of the US DOE Office of Nuclear Energy's used fuel disposition campaign, to investigate current modeling capabilities and to identify issues and knowledge gaps associated with coupled THMC processes and EBS-rock interactions associated with repositories hosted in clay rock. In this study, we simulated a generic repository case assuming an EBS design with waste emplacement in horizontal tunnels that are back-filled with bentonite-based swelling clay as a protective buffer and heat load, derived for one type of US reactor spent fuel. We adopted the Barcelona basic model (BBM) for modeling of the geomechanical behavior of the bentonite, using properties corresponding to the FEBEX bentonite, and we used clay host rock properties derived from the Opalinus clay at Mont Terri, Switzerland. We present results related to EBS host-rock interactions and geomechanical performance in general, as well as studies related to peak temperature, buffer resaturation and thermally induced pressurization of host rock pore water, and swelling pressure change owing to variation of chemical composition in the EBS. Our initial THM modeling results show strong THM-driven interactions between the bentonite buffer and the low-permeability host rock. The resaturation of the buffer is delayed as a result of the low rock permeability, and the fluid pressure in the host rock is strongly coupled with the temperature changes, which under certain circumstances could result in a significant increase in pore pressure. Moreover, using the BBM, the bentonite buffer was found to have a rather complex geomechanical behavior that eventually leads to a slightly nonuniform density distribution. Nevertheless, the simulation shows that the swelling of the buffer is functioning to provide an adequate increase in confining stress on the tunnel wall, leading to a stabilization of any failure that may occur during the tunnel excavation. Finally, we describe the application of a possible approach for linking THM processes with chemistry, focusing on the evolution of primary and secondary swelling, in which the secondary swelling is caused by changes in ionic concentration, which in turn is evaluated using a transport simulation model.

TI Heavy element doping for enhancing thermoelectric properties of
nanostructured zinc oxide
SO RSC ADVANCES
LA English
DT Article
ID DOPED ZNO; GRAIN-BOUNDARY; THIN-FILMS; PERFORMANCE
AB ZnO is a high melting point, high charge carrier mobility semiconductor with potential as a thermoelectric material, but its high thermal conductivity kappa is the limiting factor for increasing the thermoelectric figure of merit ZT. Here, we demonstrate that doping ZnO with heavy elements can significantly enhance ZT. Indium doping leads to ultralow kappa similar to 3 W m(-1) K-1 and a high power factor alpha(2)sigma similar to 1.230 x 10(-3) W m(-1) K-2, yielding ZT(1000K) similar to 0.45 that is similar to 80% higher than non-nanostructured In-Zn-O alloys. Although Bi doping also yields a high Seebeck coefficient of alpha(300K) similar to 500 mu V K-1, Bi segregation, grain growth and defect complexing are unfavorable for increasing ZT. Thus, besides increased impurity scattering of phonons, the concurrence of nanostructuring and charge carrier concentration control is key to ZT enhancement. Our results open up a new means to realize high ZT thermoelectric nanomaterials based on ZnO.

The material and electrode design approach addresses the intrinsically poor transport and diffusion kinetics associated with ionic solids such as iron fluorides and significantly improves their electrochemical and cycle life performance. A comparison is made between the performances of 3D electrode architecture versus the slurry coated fluoride electrodes. Detailed microstructural analysis and mechanistic scenarios are discussed that would enable development of practical high energy density conversion based electrodes for energy storage application.

AB A first principles method is proposed to calculate the Frank elastic constants of nematic liquid crystals. These include the constants corresponding to standard splay, twist and bend deformations, and an often-ignored surface-like contribution known as saddle-splay. The proposed approach is implemented on the widely studied Gay-Berne (3, 5, 2, 1) model [J. G. Gay and B. J. Berne, J. Chem. Phys., 1981, 74, 3316], and the effects of temperature and system size on the elastic constants are examined in the nematic phase. The results of simulations for splay, twist, and bend elastic constants are consistent with those from previous literature reports. The method is subsequently applied to the saddle-splay elastic constant k(24) which is found to exist at the limits of the Ericksen inequalities governing positive definite free energy. Finally, extensions of the method are discussed that present a new paradigm for in silico measurements of elastic constants.

AB Organic matter amendments have been proposed as a means to enhance soil carbon (C) stocks on degraded soils. However, only few data exist on rates of soil C sequestration or the fate of added C in grassland soils, which are generally thought to have high C storage potential. We measured changes in the amount of C and nitrogen (N) in soils and in the composition of soil organic matter (SOM) following a single application of composted organic matter in two annual grasslands from different bioclimatic zones (coastal and inland valley). There was a significant increase in bulk soil organic C content at the valley grassland, and a similar but non-significant trend at the coastal grassland. Physical fractionation of soil three years after organic matter amendment revealed increases in C and N in the free- and occluded light fractions in both the valley and coastal grasslands. Amendments resulted in a greater relative increase in the N stored in light soil fractions compared to C, leading to lower C:N ratios. Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy showed an increase in the ratio of carboxyl and carbonyl functional groups to aliphatic methyl and methylene groups in the free- and occluded light fractions. These data show that the organic matter amendment was incorporated in the free light and occluded light fractions over three years. Our results indicate that a single application of compost to grassland soils can increase soil C and N storage in labile and physically protected pools over relatively short time periods and contribute to climate change mitigation.

AB The role of soils in mitigating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2)levels is uncertain, in part for the complex biotic and abiotic interactions determining soil carbon change. Earthworms, in particular, interact with the physical and chemical protection mechanisms of organic matter, major determinants of carbon storage capacity of soils. Studies of a Liquidambar styraciflua forest plantation located at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), which was exposed to elevated CO2 using free air CO2 enrichment (FACE), show that a key mechanism facilitating soil carbon gain was the protection from rapid decomposition afforded by soil aggregates. To evaluate the effects of site earthworms with different feeding behaviors on soil aggregate formation and the sources of organic matter stabilizing these aggregates, we conducted a 26-day laboratory incubation experiment using plant and soil materials with differential dual isotopic compositions obtained from different CO2 and N-15-labeling treatments at the ORNL-FACE site. We used crushed and sieved (<250 mu m) unlabeled soil (613C = 25.5%0; 815N = 5.1%) to create four treatments: (I) soil only; (II) soil and plant material; (III) soil, plant material, and the native, endogeic earthworm Diplocardia sp.; (IV) soil, plant material, and the European, epiendogeic earthworm Lumbricus rubellus. Added plant materials consisted of both sweetgum (L. styraciflua) leaf (813C = 34.2%0; 815N = 4755.4%,) and root (813C = 815N = 44.7%,) litter. Overall, earthworms increased the mass of newly formed soil macroaggregates >250 i.tm (p <0.001). Most of the carbon within macroaggregates was soil-derived. Leaf- and root-derived carbon was found only in the treatment with L rubellus. Hence, the source of carbon within macroaggregates paralleled earthworm feeding ecologies, with endogeic earthworms (Diplocardia sp.) feeding mostly on soil organic matter and epi-endogeic earthworms (L rubellus) feeding on both plant residues and soil organic matter. Our results suggest that earthworms at the ORNL-FACE site directly contribute to the formation of soil aggregates and, could be an important factor contributing to the soil stabilization of increased recent carbon inputs resulting from atmospheric CO2 enrichment at this site.

AB Subnanometer Ag aggregates on alumina supports have been found to be active toward direct propylene epoxidation to propylene oxide by molecular oxygen at low temperatures, with a negligible amount of carbon dioxide formation (Science 2010, 328, 224,). In this work, we computationally and experimentally investigate the origin of the high reactivity of the subnanometer Ag aggregates. Computationally, we study O-2 dissociation and propylene epoxidation on unsupported Ago and Ag2O clusters, as well as alumina-supported Ago. The O-2 dissociation and propylene epwddation apparent barriers at the interface between the Ag aggregate and the alumina support are calculated to be 0.2 and 0.2-0.4 eV, respectively. These barriers are somewhat lower than those on sites away from the interface. The mechanism at the interface is similar to what was previously found for the silver trimer on alumina and can account for the high activity observed for the direct oxidation of propylene on the Ag aggregates. The barriers for oxygen dissociation on these model systems both at the interface and on the surfaces are small compared to crystalline surfaces, indicating that availability of oxygen will not be a rate limiting step for the aggregates, as in the case of the crystalline surfaces. Experimentally, we investigate Ultrananocrystalline Diamond (UNCD)-supported silver aggregates under reactive conditions of propylene partial oxidation. The UNCD-supported Ag clusters are found to be not measurably active toward propylene oxidation, in contrast to the alumina supported Ag clusters. This suggests that the lack of metal-oxide interfacial sites of the Ag-UNCD catalyst limits the epoxidation catalytic activity. This combined computational and experimental study shows the importance of the metal-oxide interface as well as the noncrystalline nature of the alumina-supported subnanometer Ag aggregate catalysts for propylene epoxidation.

AB Films electrodeposited onto glassy carbon electrodes from acidic acetonitrile solutions of [Bu4N][Ni(bdt)(2)] (bdt = 1,2-benzenedithiolate) are active toward electrocatalytic hydrogen production at potentials 0.2-0.4 V positive of untreated electrodes. This activity is preserved when the electrode is rinsed and transferred to a fresh acid solution. X-ray photoelectron spectra indicate that the deposited material contains Ni and S, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry shows that electro-deposition decomposes the Ni(bdt)(2) assembly. Correlations between voltammetric and spectroscopic results indicate that the deposited material is active, i.e., that catalysis is heterogeneous rather than homogeneous. Control experiments establish that obtaining the observed catalytic response requires both Ni and the 1,2-benzenedithiolate ligand to be present during deposition.

AB This study illustrates the effect of nanoparticle (NP) shape on the reactivity of size-selected Pt/gamma-Al2O3 nanocatalysts for 2-butanol oxidation. Nanoparticles similar in size [transmission electron microscopy (TEM) diameter of 1 nm] but with different shapes were prepared via encapsulation in inverse micelles. The NP shape was resolved by combining information extracted from extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) data, TEM, and modeling. A correlation was observed between the average first nearest neighbor coordination number of atoms at the NP surface and their catalytic activity. In particular, the NPs with the largest number of weakly coordinated surface atoms (i.e., edges and corners) were found to be the least active for the total oxidation of 2-butanol. This result highlights that not only size but also shape control must be achieved to tailor the, catalytic properties of nanoscale materials.

AB A general strategy is reported for the computational exploration of catalytic pathways of molecular catalysts. Our results are based on a set of linear free energy relationships derived from extensive electronic structure calculations that permit predicting the thermodynamics of intermediates, with accuracy comparable to experimental data. The approach is exemplified with the catalytic oxidation and production of H-2 by [Ni(diphosphine)(2)](2+) electrocatalysts with pendant amines incorporated in the second coordination sphere of the metal center. The analysis focuses upon prediction of thermodynamic properties including reduction potentials, hydride donor abilities, and pK(a) values of both the protonated Ni center and the pendant amine. It is shown that all of these chemical properties can be estimated from the knowledge of only the two redox potentials for the Ni(II)/Ni(I) and Ni(O/Ni(0) couples of the nonprotonated complex, and the pK(a) of the parent primary aminium ion. These three quantities are easily accessible either experimentally or theoretically. The proposed correlations reveal intimate details about the nature of the catalytic mechanism and its dependence on chemical structure and thermodynamic conditions such as applied external voltage and species concentration. This computational methodology is applied to the exploration of possible catalytic pathways, identifying low and high-energy intermediates and, consequently, possibly avoiding bottlenecks associated with undesirable intermediates in the catalytic reactions. We discuss how to optimize some of the critical reaction steps to favor catalytically more efficient intermediates. The results of this study highlight the substantial interplay between the various parameters characterizing the catalytic activity, and form the basis needed to optimize the performance of this class of catalysts.

Similar to the atomic pair distribution function applied to the study of atomic structure, the mPDF reveals both short-range and long-range magnetic correlations directly in real space. This function is experimentally accessible and yields magnetic correlations even when they are only short-range ordered. The mPDF is evaluated for various example cases to build an intuitive understanding of how different patterns of magnetic correlations will appear in the mPDF.

AB Solarization can provide thermal inactivation of weed seeds and phytopathogens through passive solar heating of moist soil covered with clear plastic tarp. Microbial respiration in soils, especially those with increasing levels of organic matter, can augment solarization to produce soil temperatures higher than those achieved by solar heating alone. Currently, it is unclear how solarization affects microbial community structure in soils amended with organic matter to promote microbial activity. In this study, a field trial was conducted in the San Joaquin Valley of California to solarize an irrigated, agricultural field soil which was either amended with mature green waste compost destabilized with wheat bran, or not amended. Following 22 days of treatment during July-August 2011, soil from three depth increments (0-5.8, 5.8-11.6, and 11.6-17.4 cm) was subjected to 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing to characterize Microbial communities. The sequencing data obtained revealed similar microbial species richness and evenness in both solarized amended and non-amended soil. However, the taxonomic composition of communities differed by treatment. Furthermore, community structure within each treatment changed. with soil depth, indicating potential enrichment of thermophilic bacteria in layers that experienced greatest heating, as well as changes related to alterations in the soil atmosphere. Certain bacteria detected in solarized, compost-amended soil may be relevant to agriculture and plant biomass deconstruction processes. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB A two-step aging treatment is applied to nickel-base alloy 718 that has been previously surface-treated by mill finishing (MF) and machine hammer peening (MHP). As a result, a Cr-enriched oxide layer is formed along with a nano-precipitates layer that consists of high precipitate fractions of gamma'/gamma '' on the top surface. Surface hardness increases after aging and the compressive residual stress is almost relaxed. The synergistic effects of MHP and aging on pitting corrosion behavior are studied. The results show that the corrosion resistance of the MHP specimens decreases after aging, although the corrosion resistance is still higher than the MF condition. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

AB Atomic force microscopy has been used to observe the surface dynamics during dissolution of polished fluorite surfaces with different orientations. These surfaces, with an initially high density of atomic scale defects, showed fast changes during the first seconds in contact with a solution. Different types of structures developed on each surface, depending on its initial orientation and solution composition. These structures dissolved slower than the main surface persisting for at least 67.5 days of continuous dissolution. A new interpretation of traditional kinetic and thermodynamic models of dissolution applied to surfaces with a high density of steps is proposed to explain the observations. The new model includes the following: (a) fast initial dissolution at defect sites, (b) formation of a fluid boundary layer at the mineral solution interface enriched in the dissolving ions, and (c) precipitation of more stable fluorite structures nucleated at surface defects. This model highlights the importance of considering surface defects and crystal orientation for advancing our understanding of processes happening at the mineral solution interface and for developing more accurate kinetic dissolution and crystal growth models essential in Earth and material sciences.

AB Cerium modified Pt nanoparticles catalysts have been prepared using Ce(III)-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) chemistry with an impregnation method of 20 % Pt/Carbon Vulcan XC-72. EDTA was used as a chelating agent to form a Ce+3 complex to achieve good dispersion of ceria on Pt/C, as shown by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. X-ray absorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies showed the presence of Ce+3. Different Ce to Pt atomic ratios have been examined to optimize the catalyst material for methanol oxidation. Half-cell and direct methanol fuel cell studies were done. The electrochemical result demonstrated a higher fuel cell activity for the Ce(III)-EDTA modified 20 % Pt/Carbon Vulcan XC-72 anode material. This was observed in half-cell, with lower onset potentials, and direct methanol fuel cell conditions, with higher power densities while maintaining similar Pt loading.

AB Using cyclic voltammetry as a quick ex situ screening tool, the impact of the extracted solution and the individual leachable constituents from prospective balance of plant component materials on the performance and recoverability of the platinum catalyst were evaluated. Taking an extract from Zytel HTN51G35HSLR (polyphthalamide) as an example, the major leachable organic components are caprolactam and 1,6-hexanediol. While these organic compounds by themselves do poison the Pt catalyst to some extent, such influence is mostly recoverable by means of potential holding and potential cycling. The extracted solution, however, shows a more drastic poisoning effect and it was not recoverable. Therefore, the non-recoverable poisoning effect observed for the extracted solution is not from the two organic species studied. This demonstrates the complexity of such a contaminant study. Inorganic compounds that are known poisons (like sulfur) even in very low concentration may have a more dominant effect on the Pt catalyst and the recoverability.

AB The development of practical solar-driven electrochemical fuel generators requires the integration of light absorbing and electrochemical components into an architecture that must also provide easy separation of the product fuels. Unfortunately, many of these components are not stable under the extreme pH conditions necessary to facilitate ionic transport between redox reaction sites. By using a controlled recirculating stream across reaction sites, this work demonstrates a stable, self-regulating and continuous purified solar-hydrogen generation from near neutral pH electrolytes that yield continuous nearly pure H-2 streams with solar-fuel efficiencies above 6.2%.

AB A combination of surface sensitive techniques was used to determine the surface structure and chemistry of La2-xSrxNiO4+delta. These measurements unequivocally showed that Ni is not present in the outermost atomic layer, suggesting that the accepted model with the B-site cations exposed to the environment is incorrect.

AB Results of gridded ecosystem simulations of bioenergy crops are used for estimating economic viability, environmental impacts, and potential land use change. Gridded model uncertainty propagates through these uses, thus we propose a simple method for estimating regional, spatial model error from sparse field data. We apply this method to the Agricultural-BioGeochemical Cycles (Agro-BGC) model to examine and reduce the model uncertainty associated with grid scale for simulated switchgrass yields in a 6 degrees latitude x 5 degrees longitude (similar to 300,000 km(2)) region covering Illinois, United States of America. Based on three evaluation sites, changes in yield with scale result from complex intra-model interactions driven by a combination of meteorological rather than soil or terrain variables. Spatial bias of the regional mean significantly increases with increasing cell size for 11 of 15 measurement dates. This bias is primarily due to grid scale, thus bias correction of output yield reduces the model uncertainty associated with grid scale. The corresponding Root Mean Squared Error and Bias-Corrected RMSE (RMSEBC) have effectively negligible trends with inconsistent signs. The range of RMSEBC for 2-year Average Mature August Yield (AMAY) is 267-285 g C m(-2) across 3- to 3600-arcsec resolution (similar to 90 m- similar to 100 km) with biases from 9 to 61 g C m(-2). AMAY bias significantly increases with increasing cell size. Spatial bias of the regional mean is relatively consistent for resolutions <= 1200 arcsec (similar to 33 km) (AMAY bias <3%), and larger AMAY biases (4-13%) at coarse resolutions indicate poorly characterized spatial heterogeneity. Including the 68% confidence interval around bias-corrected values, AMAY ranges from 0 to 1116 g C m(-2) across a 150-arsec grid, which is similar to the range reported for 24 eastern United States field sites. Spatial bias of the regional mean yield can vary across grid resolution by as much as 31% of the observed regional mean and can dramatically affect calculations dependent on the resolution of the estimate. We conclude that grid scale profoundly affects model accuracy such that regional studies must match evaluation and simulation scales and should utilize multi-scale analyses to determine robustness of results.

AB Sensitivity analysis (SA) is a commonly used approach for identifying important parameters that dominate model behaviors. We use a newly developed software package, a Problem Solving environment for Uncertainty Analysis and Design Exploration (PSUADE), to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of ten widely used SA methods, including seven qualitative and three quantitative ones. All SA methods are tested using a variety of sampling techniques to screen out the most sensitive (i.e., important) parameters from the insensitive ones. The Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting (SAC-SMA) model, which has thirteen tunable parameters, is used for illustration. The South Branch Potomac River basin near Springfield, West Virginia in the U.S. is chosen as the study area. The key findings from this study are: (1) For qualitative SA methods, Correlation Analysis (CA), Regression Analysis (RA), and Gaussian Process (GP) screening methods are shown to be not effective in this example. Morris One-At-a-Time (MOAT) screening is the most efficient, needing only 280 samples to identify the most important parameters, but it is the least robust method. Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS), Delta Test (DT) and Sum-Of-Trees (SOT) screening methods need about 400-600 samples for the same purpose. Monte Carlo (MC), Orthogonal Array (OA) and Orthogonal Array based Latin Hypercube (OALH) are appropriate sampling techniques for them; (2) For quantitative SA methods, at least 2777 samples are needed for Fourier Amplitude Sensitivity Test (FAST) to identity parameter main effect. McKay method needs about 360 samples to evaluate the main effect, more than 1000 samples to assess the two-way interaction effect. OALH and LP tau (LPTAU) sampling techniques are more appropriate for McKay method. For the Sobol' method, the minimum samples needed are 1050 to compute the first-order and total sensitivity indices correctly. These comparisons show that qualitative SA methods are more efficient but less accurate and robust than quantitative ones. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB The Community Multi-scale Air Quality modeling system is used to investigate the response of atmospheric visibility to the emission reduction from different sectors (i.e. industries, traffic and power plants) in the Yangtze River Delta, China. Visibility improvement from exclusive reduction of NOx or VOC emission was most inefficient. Sulfate and organic aerosol would rebound if NOx emission was exclusively reduced from any emission sector. The most efficient way to improve the atmospheric visibility was proven to be the multi-pollutant control strategies. Simultaneous emission reductions (20-50%) on NOx, VOC and PM from the industrial and mobile sectors could result in 0.3-1.0 km visibility improvement. And the emission controls on both NOx (85%) and SO2 (90%) from power plants gained the largest visibility improvement of up to 4.0 km among all the scenarios. The seasonal visibility improvement subject to emission controls was higher in summer while lower in the other seasons. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB The density-dependence of terrestrial plant-plant interactions in the presence of toxins has previously been explored using biodegradable compounds. We exposed barley and lettuce to four copper concentrations at four stand densities. We hypothesized that toxin effects would decrease and Cu uptake would increase at increasing plant densities. We analyzed toxin effects by (a) comparing plant biomasses and (b) using a recent regression model that has a separate parameter for the interaction of resource competition and toxin interference. Plant response to Cu was density-dependent in both experiments. Total Cu uptake by barley increased and the dose per plant decreased as plant density increased. This study is the first to demonstrate that plant density mediates plant response to metals in soil in a predictable way. This highlights the need to explore the mechanisms for and consequences of these effects, and to integrate the use of several plant densities into standard ecotoxicological testing.

AB Predictions obtained with a confining, symmetry-preserving treatment of a vector aSu vector contact interaction at leading-order in a widely used truncation of QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations are presented for Delta and Omega baryon elastic form factors and the gamma N -> Delta transition form factors. This simple framework produces results that are practically indistinguishable from the best otherwise available, an outcome which highlights that the key to describing many features of baryons and unifying them with the properties of mesons is a veracious expression of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in the hadron bound-state problem. The following specific results are of particular interest. The Delta elastic form factors are very sensitive to m (Delta). Hence, given that the parameters which define extant simulations of lattice-regularised QCD produce Delta-resonance masses that are very large, the form factors obtained therewith are a poor guide to properties of the Delta(1232). Considering the Delta-baryon's quadrupole moment, whilst all computations produce a negative value, the conflict between theoretical predictions entails that it is currently impossible to reach a sound conclusion on the nature of the Delta-baryon's deformation in the infinite momentum frame. Results for analogous properties of the Omega baryon are less contentious. In connection with the N -> Delta transition, the Ash-convention magnetic transition form factor falls faster than the neutron's magnetic form factor and nonzero values for the associated quadrupole ratios reveal the impact of quark orbital angular momentum within the nucleon and Delta; and, furthermore, these quadrupole ratios do slowly approach their anticipated asymptotic limits.

AB Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) transported from the soil surface is stabilized in deeper soil profiles by physicochemical sorption processes. However, it is unclear how different forms of organic carbon (OC) compounds common in soil organic matter interact with soil minerals in the surface (A) and subsurface (B) horizons. We added four compounds (glucose, starch, cinnamic acid and stearic acid) to the silt- and clay-sized fraction (fine fraction) of A and B horizons of eight soils from varying climates (3 temperate, 3 tropical, 1 arctic and 1 sub-arctic). Equilibrium batch experiments were conducted using 0 to 100 mg C L-1 of C-14-labeled compounds for 8 h. Sorption parameters (maximum sorption capacity, Q(max) and binding coefficient, k) calculated by fitting sorption data to the Langmuir equation showed that Q(max) of A and B horizons was very similar for all compounds. Both Q(max) and k values were related to sorbate properties, with Q(max) being lowest for glucose (20-500 mg kg(-1)), highest for stearic acid (20,000-200,000 mg kg(-1)), and intermediate for both cinnamic acid (200-4000 mg kg(-1)) and starch (400-6000 mg kg(-1)). Simple linear regression analysis revealed that physicochemical properties of the sorbents influenced the Q(max), of cinnamic acid and stearic acid, but not glucose and starch. The sorbent properties did not show predictive ability for binding coefficient k. By using the fine fraction as sorbent, we found that the mineral fractions of A horizons are equally reactive as the B horizons irrespective of soil organic carbon content. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

AB Recently, a standard test case suite for 2-D linear transport on the sphere was proposed to assess important aspects of accuracy in geophysical fluid dynamics with a "minimal" set of idealized model configurations/runs/diagnostics. Here we present results from 19 state-of-the-art transport scheme formulations based on finite-difference/finite-volume methods as well as emerging ( in the context of atmospheric/oceanographic sciences) Galerkin methods. Discretization grids range from traditional regular latitude-longitude grids to more isotropic domain discretizations such as icosahedral and cubed-sphere tessellations of the sphere. The schemes are evaluated using a wide range of diagnostics in idealized flow environments. Accuracy is assessed in single-and two-tracer configurations using conventional error norms as well as novel diagnostics designed for climate and climate-chemistry applications. In addition, algorithmic considerations that may be important for computational efficiency are reported on. The latter is inevitably computing platform dependent.
The ensemble of results from a wide variety of schemes presented here helps shed light on the ability of the test case suite diagnostics and flow settings to discriminate between algorithms and provide insights into accuracy in the context of global atmospheric/ocean modeling. A library of benchmark results is provided to facilitate scheme intercomparison and model development. Simple software and data sets are made available to facilitate the process of model evaluation and scheme intercomparison.

AB The rich data provided by high-resolution satellite imagery allow us to directly model aerial scenes by understanding their spatial and structural patterns. While pixel- and object-based classification approaches are widely used for satellite image analysis, often these approaches exploit the high-fidelity image data in a limited way. In this paper, we explore an unsupervised feature learning approach for scene classification. Dense low-level feature descriptors are extracted to characterize the local spatial patterns. These unlabeled feature measurements are exploited in a novel way to learn a set of basis functions. The low-level feature descriptors are encoded in terms of the basis functions to generate new sparse representation for the feature descriptors. We show that the statistics generated from the sparse features characterize the scene well producing excellent classification accuracy. We apply our technique to several challenging aerial scene data sets: ORNL-I data set consisting of 1-m spatial resolution satellite imagery with diverse sensor and scene characteristics representing five land-use categories, UCMERCED data set representing twenty one different aerial scene categories with sub-meter resolution, and ORNL-II data set for large-facility scene detection. Our results are highly promising and, on the UCMERCED data set we outperform the previous best results. We demonstrate that the proposed aerial scene classification method can be highly effective in developing a detection system that can be used to automatically scan large-scale high-resolution satellite imagery for detecting large facilities such as a shopping mall.

AB We consider zenith/nadir pointing atmospheric radars and explore the effects of different dual-polarization architectures on the retrieved variables: reflectivity, depolarization ratio, cross-polar coherence, and degree of polarization. Under the assumption of azimuthal symmetry, when the linear depolarization ratio (LDR) and circular depolarization ratio (CDR) modes are compared, it is found that for most atmospheric scatterers reflectivity is comparable, whereas the depolarization ratio dynamic range is maximized at CDR mode by at least 3 dB. In the presence of anisotropic (aligned) scatterers, that is, when azimuthal symmetry is broken, polarimetric variables at CDR mode do have the desirable property of rotational invariance and, further, the dynamic range of CDR can be significantly larger than the dynamic range of LDR. The physical meaning of the cross-polar coherence is revisited in terms of scattering symmetries, that is, departure from reflection symmetry for the LDR mode and departure from rotation symmetry for the CDR mode. The Simultaneous Transmission and Simultaneous Reception mode (STSR mode or hybrid mode or ZDR mode) is also theoretically analyzed for the case of zenith/nadir pointing radars and, under the assumption of azimuthal symmetry, relations are given to compare measurements obtained at hybrid mode with measurements obtained from orthogonal (LDR and CDR) modes.

This paper reports on our experience designing, architecting, and evaluating the first survivable SCADA system-one that is able to ensure correct behavior with minimal performance degradation even during cyber attacks that compromise part of the system. We describe the challenges we faced when integrating modern intrusion-tolerant protocols with a conventional SCADA architecture and present the techniques we developed to overcome these challenges. The results illustrate that our survivable SCADA system not only functions correctly in the face of a cyber attack, but that it also processes in excess of 20 000 messages per second with a latency of less than 30 ms, making it suitable for even large-scale deployments managing thousands of remote terminal units.

AB This paper aims to develop a novel method to evaluate Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) effects. A multistage Support Vector Regression (MSVR)-based model is proposed to estimate the load without voltage reduction during the CVR period. The first stage is to select a set of load profiles that are close to the profile under estimation by a Euclidian distance-based index; the second stage is to train the SVR prediction model using the pre-selected profiles; the third stage is to re-select the estimated profiles to minimize the impacts of estimation errors on CVR factor calculation. Compared with previous efforts to analyze the CVR outcome, this MSVR-based technique does not depend on selections of control groups or assumptions of any linear relationship between the load and its impact factors. In order to deal with the variability of CVR performances, a stochastic framework is proposed to assist utilities in selecting target feeders. The proposed method has been applied to evaluate CVR effects of practical voltage reduction tests and shown to be accurate and effective.

AB Multi-rate surface complexation models have been proposed to describe the kinetics of uranyl (U(VI)) surface complexation reactions (SCR) rate-limited by diffusive mass transfer to and from intragranular sorption sites in subsurface sediments. In this study, a Bayesian-based, Differential Evolution Markov Chain method was used to assess the uncertainty and to identify factors controlling the uncertainties of the multi-rate SCR model. The rate constants in the multi-rate SCR were estimated with and without assumption of a specified lognormal distribution to test the lognormal assumption typically used to minimize the number of the rate constants in the multi-rate model. U(VI) desorption under variable chemical conditions from a contaminated sediment at US Hanford 300 Area, Washington was used as an example. The results indicated that the estimated rate constants without a specified lognormal assumption approximately followed a lognormal distribution, indicating that the lognormal is an effective assumption for the rate constants in the multi-rate SCR model. However, those rate constants with their corresponding half-lives longer than the experimental durations for model characterization had larger uncertainties and could not be reliably estimated. The uncertainty analysis revealed that the time-scale of the experiments for calibrating the multi-rate SCR model, the assumption for the rate constant distribution, the geochemical conditions involved in predicting U(VI) desorption, and equilibrium U(VI) speciation reaction constants were the major factors contributing to the extrapolation uncertainties of the multi-rate SCR model. Overall, the results from this study demonstrated that the multi-rate SCR model with a lognormal distribution of its rate constants is an effective approach for describing rate-limited U(VI) desorption; however, the model contains uncertainties,especially for those smaller rate constants, that require careful consideration for predicting U(VI) sorption and desorption.

AB Calcite is an important, relatively soluble mineral phase that can affect uranium reactive transport in subsurface sediments. This study was conducted to investigate the distribution of calcite and its influence on uranium adsorption and reactive transport in the groundwater-river mixing zone of the Hanford 300A site, Washington State. Simulations using a two-dimensional (2D) reactive transport model under field-relevant hydrological and hydrogeochemical conditions revealed the development of a calcite reaction front through the mixing zone as a result of dynamic groundwater-river interactions. The calcite concentration distribution, in turn, affected the concentrations of aqueous carbonate and calcium, and pH through dissolution, as river waters intruded and receded from the site at different velocities in response to stage changes. The composition variations in groundwater subsequently influenced uranium mobility and discharge rates into the river in a complex fashion. The results implied that calcite distribution and concentration are important variables that need to be quantified for accurate reactive transport predictions of uranium, especially in dynamic groundwater-river mixing zones.

AB The objective of this study was to compare an extraction-based sampling method to two vacuum-based sampling methods (vacuum sock and 37 mm cassette filter) with regards to their ability to recover Bacillus atrophaeus spores (surrogate for Bacillus anthracis) from pleated heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) filters that are typically found in commercial and residential buildings. Electrostatic and mechanical HVAC filters were tested, both without and after loading with dust to 50% of their total holding capacity. The results were analyzed by one-way ANOVA across material types, presence or absence of dust, and sampling device. The extraction method gave higher relative recoveries than the two vacuum methods evaluated (p <= 0.001). On average, recoveries obtained by the vacuum methods were about 30% of those achieved by the extraction method. Relative recoveries between the two vacuum methods were not significantly different (p > 0.05). Although extraction methods yielded higher recoveries than vacuum methods, either HVAC filter sampling approach may provide a rapid and inexpensive mechanism for understanding the extent of contamination following a wide-area biological release incident.

ID REACTOR FUEL FABRICATION; EBR-II; PERSPECTIVE; EXPERIENCE
AB Metal fuel slugs of U-Zr alloys for a sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) have conventionally been fabricated using an injection casting method. However, casting alloys containing volatile radioactive constituents, such as Am, are problematic in a conventional injection casting method. As an alternative fabrication method, low pressure gravity casting has been developed. Casting soundness, microstructural characteristics, alloying composition, density, and fuel losses were evaluated for the following as-cast fuel slugs: U-10 wt% Zr, U-10 wt% Zr-5 wt% RE, and U-10 wt% Zr-5 wt% RE-5 wt% Mn. The U and Zr contents were uniform throughout the matrix, and impurities such as oxyen, carbon, and nitrogen satisfied the specification of total impurities less than 2,000 ppm. The appearance of the fuel slugs was generally sound, and the internal integrity was shown to be satisfactory based on gamma-ray radiography. In a volatile surrogate casting test, the U-Zr-RE-Mn fuel slug showed that nearly all of the manganese was retained when casting was done under an inert atmosphere.

AB Technetium tetrachloride and beta-TcCl3, synthesized from the reaction of Tc metal and Cl-2(g) in sealed tubes, were characterized by X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy measurements are in good agreement with the X-ray diffraction structures of the two compounds. For TcCl4, the absorbing Tc atom is surrounded by Cl atoms at 2.34(2) and Tc atoms at 3.66(4) . For beta-TcCl3, the absorbing Tc atom is surrounded by Cl atoms at 2.40(2) and Tc atoms at 2.81(3), 3.66(4) and 5.71(6) . EXAFS spectroscopy indicates that the TcCl4 and beta-TcCl3 samples obtained by sealed tube reactions are single phase. The X-ray absorption near edge structure spectra of TcCl4 and beta-TcCl3 were recorded; the positions of the Tc K-edges of beta-TcCl3 (21,050.5 eV) and TcCl4 (21,053.0 eV) are compared to the ones measured for alpha-TcCl3 (21,051.0 eV) and TcCl2 (21,048.8 eV). A correlation between the positions of the Tc K-edges and the oxidation state of the Tc atom in technetium binary chlorides was determined.

AB The production of glass that emulates fallout is desired by the nuclear forensics community for training and measurement exercises. The composition of nuclear fallout is complex, with widely varying isotopic compositions (Fahey et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 107(47):20207-20212, 2010; Bellucci et al., Anal Chem 85:7588-7593, 2013; Wallace et al., J Radioanal Nucl Chem, 2013; Belloni et al., J Environ Radioact 102:852-862, 2011; Freiling, Science 139:1058-1059, 1963; Science 133:1991-1999, 1961; Bunney and Sam Government Report: Naval Ordinance Laboratory, White Oak, 1971). As the gaseous cloud traverses from hotter to cooler regions of the atmosphere, the processes of condensation and nucleation entrain environmental materials, vaporized nuclear materials and fission products. The elemental and isotopic composition of the fission products is altered due to chemical fractionation (i.e. the fission product composition that would be expected from fission of the original nuclear material is altered by differences in condensation rates of the elements); the fallout may be enriched or depleted in volatile or refractory fission products. This paper describes preliminary work to synthesize, irradiate and fractionate the fission product content of irradiated particulate glass using a thermal distillation 2 h after irradiation. The glass was synthesized using a solution-based polymerization of tetraethyl orthosilicate. (Izrael, Radioactive fallout after nuclear explosions and accidents, 2002) Uranium was incorporated into the glass particulate at trace concentrations during polymerization. The particulate was subjected to a short thermal neutron irradiation then heated to 1,273 K approximately 2 h after the end of irradiation. Fission products of I-133,I- 134,I- 135, Te-132,Te- 134, Xe-135, Cs-138 and Sr-91,Sr- 92 were observed to be distilled from the particulate. The results of these preliminary studies are discussed.

AB Sodium borosilicate glasses containing rhenium or technetium were fabricated and their vibrational spectra studied using confocal Raman microscopy. Glass spectra were interpreted relative to new high-resolution spectra of pure crystalline NaReO4, KReO4, NaTcO4, and KTcO4 salts. Spectra of perrhenate and pertechnetate glasses exhibited sharp Raman bands, characteristic of crystalline salt species, superimposed on spectral features of the borosilicate matrix. At low concentrations of added KReO4 or KTcO4, the characteristic pertechnetate and perrhenate features are weak, whereas at high additions, sharp peaks from crystal field-splitting and C-4h symmetry dominate glass spectra, clearly indicating ReO4- or TcO4- is locally coordinated with K and/or Na. Peaks indicative of both K and Na salts are evident in many Raman spectra, with the Na form being favored at high concentrations of the source chemicals, where more K+ is available for ion exchange with Na+ from the base glass. The observed ion exchange likely occurred within depolymerized channels where nonbridging oxygens create segregation from the glass network in regions containing anions such as ReO4- and TcO4- as well as excess alkali cations. Although this anion exchange provides evidence of chemical mixing in the glass, it does not prove the added salts were homogeneously incorporated in the glass. The susceptibility to ion exchange from the base glass indicates that long-term immobilization of Tc in borosilicate glass must account for excess charge compensating alkali cations in melt glass formulations.

AB We present the first nearly atomistic molecular dynamics study of nanorod-nanorod association in explicit solvent, showing that inter-rod forces can be dominated by microscopic factors absent in common continuum descriptions. Specifically, we find that alkane ligands on faceted CdS nanorods in n-hexane undergo a temperature-dependent order-disorder transition akin to that of self-assembled monolayers on macroscopic substrates. This collective ligand alignment organizes nearby solvent molecules, strongly influencing the statistics of rod rod separation. The strong temperature dependence of this mechanism could be exploited in the laboratory to manipulate and optimize the assembly of ordered structures.

AB We report the structure of methylammonium lead(II) iodide perovskite in mesoporous TiO2, as used in high-performance solar cells. Pair distribution function analysis of X-ray scattering reveals a two component nanostructure: one component with medium range crystalline order (30 atom %) and another with only local structural coherence (70 atom %). The nanostructuring correlates with a blueshift of the absorption onset and increases the photoluminescence. Our findings underscore the importance of fully characterizing and controlling the structure for improved solar cell efficiency.

AB Atomic-layer-deposition (ALD) coatings have been increasingly used to improve battery performance. However, the electrochemical and mechanistic roles remain largely unclear, especially for ALD coatings on electrodes that undergo significant volume changes (up to 100%) during charging/discharging. Here we investigate an anode consisting of tin nanoparticles (SnNPs) with an ALD-Al2O3 coating. For the first time, in situ transmission electron microscopy unveiled the dynamic mechanical protection of the ALD-Al2O3 coating by coherently deforming with the SnNPs under the huge volume changes during charging/discharging. Battery tests in coin-cells further showed the ALD-Al2O3 coating remarkably boosts the cycling performance of the Sn anodes, comparing with those made of bare SnNPs. Chemomechanical simulations clearly revealed that a bare SnNP debonds and falls off the underlying substrate upon charging, and by contrast the ALD-Al2O3 coating, like ion-conductive nanoglue, robustly anchors the SnNP anode to the substrate during charging/discharging, a key to improving battery cycle performance.

AB A powerful low-cost electrocatalyst, nanorod Nb2O5, is synthesized using the hydrothermal method with monoclinic phases and simultaneously deposited on the surface of a graphite felt (GF) electrode in an all vanadium flow battery (VRB). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) study confirmed that Nb2O5 has catalytic effects toward redox couples of V(II)/V(III) at the negative side and V(IV)/V(V) at the positive side to facilitate the electrochemical kinetics of the vanadium redox reactions. Because of poor conductivity of Nb2O5, the performance of the Nb2O5 loaded electrodes is strongly dependent on the nanosize and uniform distribution of catalysts on GF surfaces. Accordingly, an optimal amount of W-doped Nb2O5 nanorods with minimum agglomeration and improved distribution on GF surfaces are established by adding water-soluble compounds containing tungsten (W) into the precursor solutions. The corresponding energy efficiency is enhanced by similar to 10.7% at high current density (150 mA.cm(-2)) as compared with one without catalysts. Flow battery cyclic performance also demonstrates the excellent stability of the as prepared Nb2O5 catalyst enhanced electrode. These results suggest that Nb2O5-based nanorods, replacing expensive noble metals, uniformly decorating GFs holds great promise as high-performance electrodes for VRB applications.

AB Atomic surface structures of CeO2 nanoparticles are under debate owing to the lack of clear experimental determination of the oxygen atom positions. In this study, with oxygen atoms clearly observed using aberration-corrected high-resolution electron microscopy, we determined the atomic structures of the (100), (110), and (111) surfaces of CeO2 nanocubes. The predominantly exposed (100) surface has a mixture of Ce, O, and reduced CeO terminations, underscoring the complex structures of this polar surface that previously was often oversimplified. The (110) surface shows "sawtooth-like" (111) nanofacets and flat CeO2-x terminations with oxygen vacancies. The (111) surface has an 0 termination. These findings can be extended to the surfaces of differently shaped CeO2 nanoparticles and provide insight about face-selective catalysis.

AB Rechargeable magnesium batteries have attracted wide attention for energy storage. Currently, most studies focus on Mg metal as the anode, but this approach is still limited by the properties of the electrolyte and poor control of the Mg plating/stripping processes. This paper reports the synthesis and application of Bi nanotubes as a high-performance anode material for rechargeable Mg ion batteries. The nanostructured Bi anode delivers a high reversible specific capacity (350 mAh/g(Bi) or 3430 mAh/cm(Bi)(3)), excellent stability, and high Coulombic efficiency (95% initial and very close to 100% afterward). The good performance is attributed to the unique properties of in situ formed, interconnected nanoporous bismuth. Such nanostructures can effectively accommodate the large volume change without losing electric contact and significantly reduce diffusion length for Mg2+. Significantly, the nanostructured Bi anode can be used with conventional electrolytes which will open new opportunities to study Mg ion battery chemistry and further improve its properties.

AB Recently, silicon-based lithium-ion battery anodes have shown encouraging results, as they can offer high capacities and long cyclic lifetimes. The applications of this technology are largely impeded by the complicated and expensive approaches in producing Si with desired nanostructures. We report a cost-efficient method to produce nanoporous Si particles from metallurgical Si through ball-milling and inexpensive stain-etching. The porosity of porous Si is derived from particle's three-dimensional reconstructions by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) tomography, which shows the particles' highly porous structure when etched under proper conditions. Nanoporous Si anodes with a reversible capacity of 2900 mAh/g was attained at a charging rate of 400 mA/g, and a stable capacity above 1100 mAh/g was retained for extended 600 cycles tested at 2000 mA/g. The synthetic route is low-Cost and scalable for mass production, promising Si as a potential anode material for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries with enhanced capacity and energy density.

AB Direct observations of solution-phase nanoparticle growth using in situ liquid transmission electron microscopy (TEM) have demonstrated the importance of "non-classical" growth mechanisms, such as aggregation and coalescence, on the growth and final morphology of nanocrystals at the atomic and single nanoparticle scales. To date, groups have quantitatively interpreted the mean growth rate of nanoparticles in terms of the Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner (LSW) model for Ostwald ripening, but less attention has been paid to modeling the corresponding particle size distribution. Here we use in situ fluid stage scanning TEM to demonstrate that silver nanoparticles grow by a length-scale dependent mechanism, where individual nanoparticles grow by monomer attachment but ensemble-scale growth is dominated by aggregation. Although our observed mean nanoparticle growth rate is consistent with the LSW model, we show that the corresponding particle size distribution is broader and more symmetric than predicted by LSW. Following direct observations of aggregation, we interpret the ensemble-scale growth using Smoluchowski kinetics and demonstrate that the Smoluchowski model quantitatively captures the mean growth rate and particle size distribution.

AB An "inorganic micelle" structure that has a hydrophilic cavity and hydrophobic surface has been synthesized. The inorganic micelles possess large surface area and controllable hydrophobic/hydrophilic interface. It shows high catalytic efficiency and great recyclability in the bromination of alcohols. This work suggests that inorganic micelles may be suitable for selective organic syntheses as well as industrial applications and demonstrates the value of translating nanostructure design from organic to inorganic.

AB Colloidal silver nanowires become instable and tend to fragment into shortened nanorods and nanoparticles at elevated temperatures. Such morphological variations are associated with the transformation of crystalline structures from the body-centered tetragonal (b.c.t.) lattices into the facecentered cubic (f.c.c.) ones. The crystalline phase transformation has been probed in real time with an in situ technique based on time-resolved high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Comprehensive analysis of the in situ measurements provides, for the first time, the quantitative understanding of kinetics and thermodynamics involved in the fragmentation of the colloidal silver nanowires.

AB Crystalline polymorphism of organic semiconductors is among the critical factors in determining the structure and properties of the resultant organic electronic devices. Herein we report for the first time a solvent-type-dependent polymorphism of a long fused-ring organic semiconductor and its crucial effects on charge transport. A new polymorph of 5,11-bis(triethylsilylethynyl)anthradithiophene (TES ADT) is obtained using solvent-assisted crystallization, and the crystalline polymorphism of TES ADT thin films is correlated with their measured hole mobilities. The best-performing organic thin film transistors of the two TES ADT polymorphs show subthreshold slopes close to 1 V dec (1), and threshold voltages close to zero, indicating that the density of traps at the semiconductor-dielectric interface is negligible in these devices and the observed up to 10-fold differences in hole mobilities of devices fabricated with different solvents are largely resultant from the presence of two TES ADT polymorphs. Moreover, our results suggest that the best-performing TES ADT devices reported in the literature correspond to the new polymorph identified in this study, which involves crystallization from a weakly polar solvent (such as toluene and chloroform).

AB Bulk Au is very inert but Au nanoparticles less than 5 nm in size have been found to be catalytically active for several reactions, in particular for low-temperature oxidation of CO. Using high-energy X-ray diffraction coupled with atomic pair distribution function analysis and computer simulations we determine the structure of 3 nm and 10 nm Au particles supported on titania and silica as typical representatives of reducible and irreducible supports, respectively. We find that the synthesis protocol adopted in our work affects strongly and differently the structure of the Au nanoparticles on the different supports. This leads to clearly distinct dependences of the catalytic activity of the nanoparticles on their size. In the case of the silica support the catalytic activity of Au nanoparticles increases and in the case of the titania support it decreases with decreasing nanoparticle size. The experimental results are considered in terms of current theoretical predictions and found to be in good accord with them.

The measured cross sections were consistent with the x (F) scaling claimed by the ISR experiment. Significant negative A (N) was observed in the forward region, and no significant backward A (N) was observed. We also measured aes and p (T) dependence of A (N) of very forward neutron production at aes from 62.4 to 500 GeV.

TI Thoughts on polarimetry for He-3 beams at RHIC
SO PHYSICS OF PARTICLES AND NUCLEI
LA English
DT Article
AB The Relativistic Heavy Ions Collider (RHIC) has accelerated polarized proton beams for physics since 2001. As part of the future eRHIC program and in order to enhance access to the down quark, a program to accelerate polarized He-3 in the AGS and RHIC is envisioned. To that end, a polarized He-3 source is being built at MIT. This will be installed on the BNL EBIS source in preparation for injection into the booster and AGS. As an early exercise, in June 2012, unpolarized He-3 beams have been accelerated in the AGS. This paper will peruse some potential ideas for He-3 polarimetry and calibration that could be utilized at the AGS as well as RHIC. The current proton polarimetry program serves as a guide.

TI Studies of basic limitations on production, transport and acceleration
of the high intensity polarized H- beam in the RHIC polarized ion source
SO PHYSICS OF PARTICLES AND NUCLEI
LA English
DT Article
AB Basic limitations on the high-intensity polarized H- ion beam production and transport were experimentally studied in charge-exchange collisions of the neutral atomic hydrogen beam in the Na-vaporjet ionizer cell. The energy dependence of space-charge effects on the beam instabilities and losses were studied and described in the model of synthetic H+ - H- beam transport. A xenon gas admixture to the H- ion production cell and beam transport line greatly improves the space-charge compensation, which is also successfully described in the simulations. These studies are the part of the polarized source upgrade project for RHIC.

DT Article
AB The Qweak experiment at Jefferson Lab aims to make a 4% measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in elastic scattering at very low Q (2) of a longitudinally polarized electron beam off a proton target. One of the dominant experimental systematic uncertainties in Qweak will result from determining the beam polarization. A new Compton polarimeter was installed in the fall of 2010 to provide a non-invasive and continuous monitoring of the electron beam polarization in Hall C at Jefferson Lab. The Compton-scattered electrons are detected in four planes of diamond micro-strip detectors. We have achieved the design goals of < 1% statistical uncertainty per hour and expect to achieve < 1% systematic uncertainty.

AB Recently, two experiments were concluded in Hall A at Jefferson Lab which utilized a newly assembled, solid, polarized hydrogen target. The primary components of the target are a new, high cooling power He-4 evaporation refrigerator, and a re-purposed, superconducting split-coil magnet. It has been used to polarize protons in irradiated NH3 at a temperature of 1 K and at fields of 2.5 and 5.0 tesla. Maximum polarizations of 55% and 95% were obtained at those fields, respectively. To satisfy the requirements of both experiments, the magnet had to be routinely rotated between angles of 0A degrees, 6A degrees, and 90A degrees with respect to the incident electron beam.

SO PHYSICS OF PARTICLES AND NUCLEI

AB The RHIC polarized H- ion source is being upgraded to higher intensity and polarization for use in the RHIC polarization physics program at enhanced luminosity RHIC operation. The higher beam intensity will allow reduction of the longitudinal transverse beam emittance at injection to AGS to reduce polarization losses in AGS. There is also a planned RHIC luminosity upgrade by using the electron beam lens to compensate the beam-beam interaction at collision points. This upgrade is also essential for future BNL plans for a high-luminosity electron-proton (ion) Collider eRHIC. The basic limitations on the high-intensity H- ion beam production in charge-exchange collisions of the neutral atomic hydrogen beam in the Na-vapor jet ionizer cell were experimentally studied.

AB In recent years parton distributions, describing longitudinal momentum, helicity and transversity distributions of quarks and gluons, have been generalized to account also for transverse degrees of freedom. Two new sets of more general distributions, Transverse Momentum Distributions (TMDs) and Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) were introduced to describe transverse momentum and spatial distributions of partons. Great progress has been made since then in measurements of different Single Spin Asymmetries (SSAs) in semi-inclusive and hard exclusive processes, providing access to TMDs and GPDs, respectively. Studies of TMDs and GPDs are also among the main driving forces of the JLab 12 GeV upgrade project.

AB An accurate data base for the analyzing power of thick CH2 analyzers for high energy protons has been at the basis of several research efforts in a number of laboratories. Starting in the late eighties such data were collected at SATURNE in Saclay, and with the Synchrophasotron in Dubna, and led to an extensive program of study of polarization phenomena in pd interaction, either backward elastic scattering or breakup [1-6]. At about the same time it became evident that measuring polarization observables in elastic ep was going to be the best approach to determine the form factors of the proton, G (Ep) and G (Mp) , as had been predicted by Akhiezer and Rekalo [7].

AB Molecular-level spectroscopic analyses of an aprotic and a protic room-temperature ionic liquid, BMIM OTf and BMIM HSO4, respectively, have been carried out with the aim of verifying molecular dynamics simulations that predict anion pair formation in these fluid structures. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of various nuclei support the theoretically-determined average molecular arrangements.

AB Controlling the size and shape of nanopores in polymer membranes can significantly impact transport of molecular or ionic species through these membranes. Here we describe a facile method to controllably form conical nanopores in ion-tracked polycarbonate membranes. Commercial polycarbonate ion-tracked membranes were placed between a concentrated alkaline solution and an acidic solution. By varying the height of the acidic solution, the hydrostatic pressure was controlled, regulating the acid flux through the nanopores. The resulting asymmetric etching of the membrane produced conical pores with controllable aspect ratios. Scanning electron microscopy of both the pores and nickel nanostructures electrolessly templated in the pores confirms their conical shape. This safe, straightforward approach obviates the need to use large voltages, currents, and/or plasma etching equipment traditionally employed to create conical nanopores.

AB Electrochromic (EC) devices show a promise to be the next major advance in the energy-efficient window technology. However, the development of higher value (performance and cost) EC windows is the key to promote the applications of these energy saving devices. To that end, computer modeling may play a powerful role in providing in-depth understanding in EC device design, performance enhancement, material selection and development of EC layers. In this work, we describe a 20 time-dependent finite element based solver, established to simulate large area Li ion electrochromic devices. The results of 2D-model development and corresponding simulations are presented utilizing literature-based material properties. The capability of the model is demonstrated in handling a very large width-to-thickness aspect ratio and examining the impacts of a voltage change due to the spreading resistance and a diffusivity variation inside electrodes on device performance and lithium ion transport kinetics.

AB The backsheets used in photovoltaic modules are exposed to aggressive field environments that may include combined temperature cycles, moisture, and mechanical loads. The effects of the field environment on backsheet debonding, which can lead to module degradation (corrosion) and loss of function, are still not well understood or quantified. Employing a newly developed quantitative mechanics technique, we report the effect of aging on backsheet debond energy, including the separate effect of temperature, mechanical stress and relative humidity on debond growth rate. The debond energy of the backsheet decreased dramatically from 1000 to 27 J/m(2) within the first 750 h of exposure to hot (85 degrees C) and humid (85% RH) aging treatments. The debond growth rate increased up to 500-fold with small changes of temperature (10 degrees C) and relative humidity (20%). To elucidate the mechanisms of environmental debonding, we developed a fracture-kinetics model, where the molecular relaxation processes at the debond front are used to predict debond growth. The model and techniques form the fundamental basis to develop accelerated aging tests and long-term reliability predictions for photovoltaic backsheets. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Endothelial cells, master gatekeepers of the cardiovascular system, line its inner boundary from the heart to distant capillaries constantly exposed to blood flow. Interendothelial signaling and the monolayers adhesion to the underlying collagen-rich basal lamina are key in physiology and disease. Using neutron scattering, we report the first ever interfacial structure of endothelial monolayers under dynamic flow conditions mimicking the cardiovascular system. Endothelial adhesion (defined as the separation distance l between the basal cell membrane and solid boundary) is explained using developed interfacial potentials and intramembrane segregation of specific adhesion proteins. Our method provides a powerful tool for the biophysical study of cellular layer adhesion strength in living tissues.

AB In an effort to shed light on the intricate structure of ferrihydrite, its pair distribution function (PDF) derived from high-energy X-ray scattering (HEXS) data was refined with the single-phase akdalaite model, possessing 20% of the Fe atoms in tetrahedral coordination, and a modified akdalaite model in which Fe has only octahedral coordination. The second model is analogous to the predominant f-phase (ABAC stacking sequence) of classical multi-phase ferrihydrite. The contribution from the disordered d-phase component (randomly stacked ABA and ACA double-layer fragments) of the classical model was recovered in the modified akdalaite description by increasing the atomic motion of the ABAC motif above the double-layer distance 4.2 angstrom to simulate aperiodic stacking faults. Results show that the original and modified akdalaite representations provide near-identical fits to the ferrihydrite PDF. In the original single-phase and periodic model, the plurality of the Fe-O and Fe-Fe distances resulting from phase mixtures and defects are reconciled artificially by taking a large unit cell with three independent Fe sites, two Fe coordinations, and under-constrained atomic positions. Correlation matrices reveal that many fitted parameters are linearly correlated, thus explaining the crystallographic and chemical inconsistencies of the as-refined akdalaite model which have been identified in the literature. Structurally more constrained, the modified akdalaite model does not suffer from bias and provides a more robust description of the PDF data. However, because structural defects and inhomogeneities are not physically present but introduced artificially in PDF modeling, the crystallographic description of ferrihydrite by real-space modeling of HEXS data has an idealized character. To facilitate further understanding of the ferrihydrite structure, the PDF data are provided as supplementary material(1) for interlaboratory testing, and as a resource as more sophisticated tools may be brought to bear on this complex problem.

AB The weathering of rocks is a process important for the understanding of soil formation as well as a general understanding of the interaction between litho- and hydrosphere. Phyllosilicates in general are of special importance for the understanding of weathering processes due to their abundance in rocks and soils. A common phyllosilicate in soils is chlorite, which has a structure composed of a combination of two distinct layers, the tetrahedral-octahedral-tetrahedral (TOT) and the interlayer (i.e., the octahedral layer between TOT layers). In this study, the morphology and dissolution of chlorite in pure water has been visualized using atomic force microscopy. Upon cleavage, the TOT layer shows atomically flat terraces and steps, while the interlayer presents strips and voids. In pure water, dissolution channels and equilateral, mono-oriented triangular etch pits form in the interlayer and lead to progressively increased solubilization. Dissolution channels are proposed to originate from structural defects, while a conceptual model is discussed to explain the presence of triangular etch pits. In this model, their formation is driven by the different reactivity of the two octahedral configurations along the etch pits. It is not currently known which of these is the most stable configuration, however we propose arguments that point toward a specific orientation. The conceptual model is supported by experimental data and is potentially applicable to all mineral structures constituted by continuous octahedral layers.

AB Chromium K-edge X-ray absorption spectra were collected to characterize Cr in forsterite (Mg2SiO4) as well as sulfides within the MAC 88136 EL3 chondrite to determine Cr valence and to see whether forsterite within this meteorite can be used as a Cr2+-silicate standard. Spectra were measured on several areas within a nearly pure 100 x 200 mu m forsterite grain containing 0.13 wt% Cr. XANES findings indicate highly reduced Cr2+ species, with no clear evidence of Cr3+ or Cr6+. EXAFS data indicate an average 2.02 angstrom Cr-O nearest-neighbor distance, consistent with Cr-O distances found in square-planar Cr2O4 sites observed in synthetic crystalline silicates, and an average 2.69 angstrom Cr-Si second-nearest neighbor distance, consistent with Cr2+ substituting for Mg2+ in the forsterite M(1) site. Nearest-neighbor Debye-Waller factor and coordination number parameters indicate Cr2+ is likely entering forsterite in disordered sites that are possible intermediates between M(1) and square-planar Cr2+O4 configurations. Preliminary Cr XAS measurements on sulfides within this meteorite also indicate Cr2+ in CrS6 octahedra.

AB High-temperature (>70 degrees C) ecosystems in Yellowstone National Park (YNP) provide an unparalleled opportunity to study chemotrophic archaea and their role in microbial community structure and function under highly constrained geochemical conditions. Acidilobus spp. (order Desulfurococcales) comprise one of the dominant phylotypes in hypoxic geothermal sulfur sediment and Fe(III)-oxide environments along with members of the Thermoproteales and Sulfolobales. Consequently, the primary goals of the current study were to analyze and compare replicate de novo sequence assemblies of Acidilobus-like populations from four different mildly acidic (pH 3.3 to 6.1) high-temperature (72 degrees C to 82 degrees C) environments and to identify metabolic pathways and/or protein-encoding genes that provide a detailed foundation of the potential functional role of these populations in situ. De novo assemblies of the highly similar Acidilobus-like populations (>99% 16S rRNA gene identity) represent near-complete consensus genomes based on an inventory of single-copy genes, deduced metabolic potential, and assembly statistics generated across sites. Functional analysis of coding sequences and confirmation of gene transcription by Acidilobus-like populations provide evidence that they are primarily chemoorganoheterotrophs, generating acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) via the degradation of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins, and auxotrophic with respect to several external vitamins, cofactors, and metabolites. No obvious pathways or protein-encoding genes responsible for the dissimilatory reduction of sulfur were identified. The presence of a formate dehydrogenase (Fdh) and other protein-encoding genes involved in mixed-acid fermentation supports the hypothesis that Acidilobus spp. function as degraders of complex organic constituents in high-temperature, mildly acidic, hypoxic geothermal systems.

AB Major efforts in bioenergy research have focused on producing fuels that can directly replace petroleum-derived gasoline and diesel fuel through metabolic engineering of microbial fatty acid biosynthetic pathways. Typically, growth and pathway induction are conducted under aerobic conditions, but for operational efficiency in an industrial context, anaerobic culture conditions would be preferred to obviate the need to maintain specific dissolved oxygen concentrations and to maximize the proportion of reducing equivalents directed to biofuel biosynthesis rather than ATP production. A major concern with fermentative growth conditions is elevated NADH levels, which can adversely affect cell physiology. The purpose of this study was to identify homologs of Escherichia coli FabG, an essential reductase involved in fatty acid biosynthesis, that display a higher preference for NADH than for NADPH as a cofactor. Four potential NADH- dependent FabG variants were identified through bioinformatic analyses supported by crystallographic structure determination (1.3- to 2.0-angstrom resolution). In vitro assays of cofactor (NADH/NADPH) preference in the four variants showed up to similar to 35-fold preference for NADH, which was observed with the Cupriavidus taiwanensis FabG variant. In addition, FabG homologs were overexpressed in fatty acid- and methyl ketone- overproducing E. coli host strains under anaerobic conditions, and the C. taiwanensis variant led to a 60% higher free fatty acid titer and 75% higher methyl ketone titer relative to the titers of the control strains. With further engineering, this work could serve as a starting point for establishing a microbial host strain for production of fatty acid- derived biofuels (e.g., methyl ketones) under anaerobic conditions.

AB The fermentation of lignocellulose-derived sugars, particularly xylose, into ethanol by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is known to be inhibited by compounds produced during feedstock pretreatment. We devised a strategy that combined chemical profiling of pretreated feedstocks, high-throughput phenotyping of genetically diverse S. cerevisiae strains isolated from a range of ecological niches, and directed engineering and evolution against identified inhibitors to produce strains with improved fermentation properties. We identified and quantified for the first time the major inhibitory compounds in alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP)-pretreated lignocellulosic hydrolysates, including Na+, acetate, and p-coumaric (pCA) and ferulic (FA) acids. By phenotyping these yeast strains for their abilities to grow in the presence of these AHP inhibitors, one heterozygous diploid strain tolerant to all four inhibitors was selected, engineered for xylose metabolism, and then allowed to evolve on xylose with increasing amounts of pCA and FA. After only 149 generations, one evolved isolate, GLBRCY87, exhibited faster xylose uptake rates in both laboratory media and AHP switchgrass hydrolysate than its ancestral GLBRCY73 strain and completely converted 115 g/liter of total sugars in undetoxified AHP hydrolysate into more than 40 g/liter ethanol. Strikingly, genome sequencing revealed that during the evolution from GLBRCY73, the GLBRCY87 strain acquired the conversion of heterozygous to homozygous alleles in chromosome VII and amplification of chromosome XIV. Our approach highlights that simultaneous selection on xylose and pCA or FA with a wild S. cerevisiae strain containing inherent tolerance to AHP pretreatment inhibitors has potential for rapid evolution of robust properties in lignocellulosic biofuel production.

AB Energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) observed by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) provide powerful diagnostics about the origin of the progenitor ion populations and the physical mechanisms responsible for their production. In this paper, we extend the work of Desai et al. and Fuselier et al. and combine and compare ENA spectra from the first 3 yr of observations by the IBEX-Hi and -Lo ENA imagers along the lines-of-sight (LOSs) from the inner heliosphere through to the locations of Voyager 1 and 2 with results from an updated physics-based model of the three-dimensional heliosphere and its constituent ion populations. Our results show that (1) IBEX ENA fluxes and spectra above similar to 0.7 keV measured along the LOSs of the Voyagers are consistent with several models in which the parent pickup ion (PUI) populations originate in the inner heliosheath, and (2) a significant fraction of lower energy ENAs between similar to 0.1-0.5 keV may originate from interstellar neutral gas charge-exchanging with a non-thermalized (hot) population of PUIs in the outer heliosheath beyond the heliopause. We discuss the implications of ENAs observed by IBEX originating from distinct parent populations as well as from two distinct locations in the heliospheric interface. These results indicate that ENA spectral measurements at various energies can be used to remotely probe distinct physical processes operating in vastly different regions of the distant heliosphere.

AB Cosmological hydrodynamic simulations predict the physical state of baryons in the circumgalactic medium (CGM), which can be directly tested via quasar absorption line observations. We use high-resolution "zoom-in" simulations of 21 galaxies to characterize the distribution of neutral hydrogen around halos in the mass range M-vir similar to 2 x 10(11) to 4 x 10(12) M-circle dot at z similar to 2. We find that both the mass fraction of cool (T <= 3 x 10(4) K) gas and the covering fraction of optically thick Lyman limit systems (LLSs) depend only weakly on halo mass, even around the critical value for the formation of stable virial shocks. The covering fraction of LLSs interior to the virial radius varies between f(c) similar to 0.05-0.2, with significant scatter among halos. Our simulations of massive halos (M-vir >= 10(12) M-circle dot) underpredict the covering fraction of optically thick gas observed in the quasar CGM by a large factor. The reason for this discrepancy is unclear, but several possibilities are discussed. In the lower mass halos (M-vir >= 5 x 10(11) M-circle dot) hosting star-forming galaxies, the predicted covering factor agrees with observations; however, current samples of quasar-galaxy pairs are too small for a conclusive comparison. To overcome this limitation, we propose a new observable: the small-scale autocorrelation function of optically thick absorbers detected in the foreground of close quasar pairs. We show that this new observable can constrain the underlying dark halos hosting LLSs at z similar to 2-3, as well as the characteristic size and covering factor of the CGM.

The turbulence models include a Kolmogorov-like magnetic field power spectrum containing a broad range of spatial scales from those that lead to large-scale field-line random walk to small scales leading to resonant pitch-angle scattering of energetic particles. We release energetic protons (20 keV-10 MeV) from a spatially compact and instantaneous source. The trajectories of energetic charged particles in turbulent magnetic fields are numerically integrated. Spacecraft observations are mimicked by collecting particles in small windows when they pass the windows at a distance of 1 AU. We show that small-scale gradients in the intensity of energetic particles and velocity dispersions observed by spacecraft can be reproduced using the foot-point random motion model. However, no dropouts are seen in simulations using the two-component magnetic turbulence model. We also show that particle scattering in the solar wind magnetic field needs to be infrequent for intensity dropouts to form.

TI THE COYOTE UNIVERSE EXTENDED: PRECISION EMULATION OF THE MATTER POWER

AB Modern sky surveys are returning precision measurements of cosmological statistics such as weak lensing shear correlations, the distribution of galaxies, and cluster abundance. To fully exploit these observations, theorists must provide predictions that are at least as accurate as the measurements, as well as robust estimates of systematic errors that are inherent to the modeling process. In the nonlinear regime of structure formation, this challenge can only be overcome by developing a large-scale, multi-physics simulation capability covering a range of cosmological models and astrophysical processes. As a first step to achieving this goal, we have recently developed a prediction scheme for the matter power spectrum (a so-called emulator), accurate at the 1% level out to k similar to 1Mpc(-1) and z = 1 for wCDM cosmologies based on a set of high-accuracy N-body simulations. It is highly desirable to increase the range in both redshift and wavenumber and to extend the reach in cosmological parameter space. To make progress in this direction, while minimizing computational cost, we present a strategy that maximally reuses the original simulations. We demonstrate improvement over the original spatial dynamic range by an order of magnitude, reaching k similar to 10 h Mpc(-1), a four-fold increase in redshift coverage, to z = 4, and now include the Hubble parameter as a new independent variable. To further the range in k and z, a new set of nested simulations run at modest cost is added to the original set. The extension in h is performed by including perturbation theory results within a multi-scale procedure for building the emulator. This economical methodology still gives excellent error control, similar to 5% near the edges of the domain of applicability of the emulator. A public domain code for the new emulator is released as part of the work presented in this paper.

AB We present 0.9-2.5 mu m resolved spectra for the ultracool binary WISEPC J121756.91+162640.2AB. The system consists of a pair of brown dwarfs that straddles the currently defined T/Y spectral type boundary. We use synthetic spectra generated by model atmospheres that include chloride and sulfide clouds (Morley et al.), the distance to the system (Dupuy & Kraus), and the radius of each component based on evolutionary models (Saumon & Marley) to determine a probable range of physical properties for the binary. The effective temperature of the T8.5 primary is 550-600 K and that of the Y0-Y0.5 secondary is approximate to 450 K. The atmospheres of both components are either free of clouds or have extremely thin cloud layers. We find that the masses of the primary and secondary are 30 and 22 M-Jup, respectively, and that the age of the system is 4-8 Gyr. This age is consistent with astrometric measurements (Dupuy & Kraus) that show that the system has kinematics intermediate between those of the thin and thick disks of the Galaxy. An older age is also consistent with an indication by the H-K colors that the system is slightly metal poor.

AB We present model predictions for the Zr isotopic ratios produced by slow neutron captures in C-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars of masses 1.25-4 M-circle dot and metallicities Z = 0.01-0.03, and compare them to data from single meteoritic stardust silicon carbide (SiC) and high-density graphite grains that condensed in the outflows of these stars. We compare predictions produced using the Zr neutron-capture cross sections from Bao et al. and from n_TOF experiments at CERN, and present a new evaluation for the neutron-capture cross section of the unstable isotope Zr-95, the branching point leading to the production of Zr-96. The new cross sections generally present an improved match with the observational data, except for the Zr-92/Zr-94 ratios, which are on average still substantially higher than predicted. The Zr-96/Zr-94 ratios can be explained using our range of initial stellar masses, with the most Zr-96-depleted grains originating from AGB stars of masses 1.8-3 M-circle dot and the others from either lower or higher masses. The Zr-90,Zr-91/Zr-94 variations measured in the grains are well reproduced by the range of stellar metallicities considered here, which is the same needed to cover the Si composition of the grains produced by the chemical evolution of the Galaxy. The Zr-92/Zr-94 versus Si-29/Si-28 positive correlation observed in the available data suggests that stellar metallicity rather than rotation plays the major role in covering the Zr-90,Zr-91,Zr-92/Zr-94 spread.

AB We present Herschel far-infrared and submillimeter maps of the debris disk associated with the HR 8799 planetary system. We resolve the outer disk emission at 70, 100, 160, and 250 mu m and detect the disk at 350 and 500 mu m. A smooth model explains the observed disk emission well. We observe no obvious clumps or asymmetries associated with the trapping of planetesimals that is a potential consequence of planetary migration in the system. We estimate that the disk eccentricity must be <0.1. As in previous work by Su et al., we find a disk with three components: a warm inner component and two outer components, a planetesimal belt extending from 100 to 310 AU, with some flexibility (+/- 10 AU) on the inner edge, and the external halo that extends to similar to 2000 AU. We measure the disk inclination to be 26 degrees +/- 3 degrees from face-on at a position angle of 64 degrees E of N, establishing that the disk is coplanar with the star and planets. The spectral energy distribution of the disk is well fit by blackbody grains whose semi-major axes lie within the planetesimal belt, suggesting an absence of small grains. The wavelength at which the spectrum steepens from blackbody, 47 +/- 30 mu m, however, is short compared with other A star debris disks, suggesting that there are atypically small grains likely populating the halo. The PACS longer wavelength data yield a lower disk color temperature than do MIPS data (24 and 70 mu m), implying two distinct halo dust-grain populations.

AB The microquasar 1E1740.7-2942, also known as the "Great Annihilator," was observed by NuSTAR in the summer of 2012. We have analyzed in detail two observations taken similar to 2 weeks apart, for which we measure hard and smooth spectra typical of the low/hard state. A few weeks later the source flux declined significantly. Nearly simultaneous coverage by INTEGRAL is available from its Galactic Center monitoring campaign lasting similar to 2.5 months. These data probe the hard state spectrum from 1E1740.7-2942 before the flux decline. We find good agreement between the spectra taken with IBIS/ISGRI and NuSTAR, with the measurements being compatible with a change in flux with no spectral variability. We present a detailed analysis of the NuSTAR spectral and timing data and upper limits for reflection of the high energy emission. We show that the high energy spectrum of this X-ray binary is well described by thermal Comptonization.

TI THE EFFECT OF WEAK LENSING ON DISTANCE ESTIMATES FROM SUPERNOVAE

AB Using a sample of 608 Type Ia supernovae from the SDSS-II and BOSS surveys, combined with a sample of foreground galaxies from SDSS-II, we estimate the weak lensing convergence for each supernova line of sight. We find that the correlation between this measurement and the Hubble residuals is consistent with the prediction from lensing (at a significance of 1.7 sigma). Strong correlations are also found between the residuals and supernova nuisance parameters after a linear correction is applied. When these other correlations are taken into account, the lensing signal is detected at 1.4 sigma. We show, for the first time, that distance estimates from supernovae can be improved when lensing is incorporated, by including a new parameter in the SALT2 methodology for determining distance moduli. The recovered value of the new parameter is consistent with the lensing prediction. Using cosmic microwave background data from WMAP7, H-0 data from Hubble Space Telescope and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Baryon acoustic oscillations measurements, we find the best-fit value of the new lensing parameter and show that the central values and uncertainties on Omega m and w are unaffected. The lensing of supernovae, while only seen at marginal significance in this low-redshift sample, will be of vital importance for the next generation of surveys, such as DES and LSST, which will be systematics-dominated.

AB The black hole binary Cygnus X-1 was observed in late 2012 with the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) and Suzaku, providing spectral coverage over the similar to 1-300 keV range. The source was in the soft state with a multi-temperature blackbody, power law, and reflection components along with absorption from highly ionized material in the system. The high throughput of NuSTAR allows for a very high quality measurement of the complex iron line region as well as the rest of the reflection component. The iron line is clearly broadened and is well described by a relativistic blurring model, providing an opportunity to constrain the black hole spin. Although the spin constraint depends somewhat on which continuum model is used, we obtain a(*) > 0.83 for all models that provide a good description of the spectrum. However, none of our spectral fits give a disk inclination that is consistent with the most recently reported binary values for Cyg X-1. This may indicate that there is a > 13 degrees misalignment between the orbital plane and the inner accretion disk (i.e., a warped accretion disk) or that there is missing physics in the spectral models.

AB Cellular population dynamics are routinely monitored across many diverse fields for a variety of purposes. In general, these dynamics are assayed either through the direct counting of cellular aliquots followed by extrapolation to the total population size, or through the monitoring of signal intensity from any number of externally stimulated reporter proteins. While both viable methods, here we describe a novel technique that allows for the automated, non-destructive tracking of cellular population dynamics in real-time. This method, which relies on the detection of a continuous bioluminescent signal produced through expression of the bacterial luciferase gene cassette, provides a low cost, low time-intensive means for generating additional data compared to alternative methods.

AB An ensemble of nine experiments with the same interannually varying sea surface temperature (SST), as boundary forcing, and different initial conditions is used to investigate the role of tropical oceans in modulating precipitation variability in the region of La Plata Basin (LPB). The results from the ensemble are compared with a twentieth-century experiment performed with a coupled ocean-atmosphere model, sharing the same atmospheric component. A rotated empirical orthogonal functions analysis of South America precipitation shows that the dominant mode of variability in spring is realistically captured in both experiments. Its principal component (RPC1) correlated with global SST and atmospheric fields identifies the pattern related to El Nio Southern Oscillation and its large-scale teleconnections. Overall the pattern is well simulated in the tropical southern Pacific Ocean, mainly in the ensemble, but it is absent or too weak in other oceanic areas. The coupled model experiment shows a more realistic correlation in the subtropical South Atlantic where air-sea interactions contribute to the relationship between LPB precipitation and SST. The correspondence between model and data is much improved when the composite analysis of SST and atmospheric fields is done over the ensemble members having an RPC1 in agreement with the observations: the improvement relies on avoiding climate noise by averaging only over members that are statistically similar. Furthermore, the result suggests the presence of a high level of uncertainty due to internal atmospheric variability. The analysis of some individual years selected from the model and data RPC1 comparison reveals interesting differences among rainy springs in LPB. For example, 1982, which corresponds to a strong El Nio year, represents a clean case with a distinct wave train propagating from the central Pacific and merging with another one from the eastern tropical south Indian Ocean. The year 2003 is an example of a rainy spring in LPB not directly driven by remote SST forcing. In this case the internal variability has a dominant role, as the model is not able to reproduce the correct local precipitation pattern.

AB Uraninite (UO2) is the most desirable end product of in situ bioreduction because of its low solubility under reducing conditions. For effective long-term immobilization of uranium (U), there should be no biotic or abiotic reoxidation of the insoluble biogenic U(IV). It is therefore critical to understand the long-term stability of U(IV) under oxic- and nutrient-limited conditions at U-contaminated subsurface sites. It has now been established that following in situ bioremediation of U(VI) via nutrient addition in the subsurface, a range of physical, chemical, and biological factors control the rate and extent of long-term stability of U(IV). Some of these factors are tied to site specific conditions including existence of oxidants such as Fe(III)(hydr)oxides, Mn(IV) oxides, oxygen, and nitrate; the presence of organic carbon and the reduced forms of U (e.g., mononuclear U(IV) or nanometer-sized uraninite particles); and the carbonate concentration and pH of groundwater.

AB Sulphur is an essential element in the metabolism. The sulphur-containing amino acid methionine is a metabolic precursor for S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), which serves as a coenzyme for ubiquitous methyltrtansferases. Recycling of organic sulphur compounds, e.g. via the SAM cycle, is an important metabolic process that needs to be tightly regulated. Knowledge about transcriptional regulation of these processes is still limited for many free-living bacteria. We identified a novel transcription factor SahR from the ArsR family that controls the SAM cycle genes in diverse microorganisms from soil and aquatic ecosystems. By using comparative genomics, we predicted SahR-binding DNA motifs and reconstructed SahR regulons in the genomes of 62 Proteobacteria. The conserved core of SahR regulons includes all enzymes required for the SAM cycle: the SAH hydrolase AhcY, the methionine biosynthesis enzymes MetE/MetH and MetF, and the SAM synthetase MetK. By using a combination of experimental techniques, we validated the SahR regulon in the sulphate-reducing Deltaproteobacterium Desulfovibrio alaskensis. SahR functions as a negative regulator that responds to the S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH). The elevated SAH level in the cell dissociates SahR from its DNA operators and induces the expression of SAM cycle genes. The effector-sensing domain in SahR is related to SAM-dependent methylases that are able to tightly bind SAH. SahR represents a novel type of transcriptional regulators for the control of sulphur amino acid metabolism.

AB The 2005 consensus proposal for the classification of hepatitis C virus (HCV) presented an agreed and uniform nomenclature for HCV variants and the criteria for their assignment into genotypes and subtypes. Since its publication, the available dataset of HCV sequences has vastly expanded through advancement in nucleotide sequencing technologies and an increasing focus on the role of HCV genetic variation in disease and treatment outcomes. The current study represents a major update to the previous consensus HCV classification, incorporating additional sequence information derived from over 1,300 (near-)complete genome sequences of HCV available on public databases in May 2013. Analysis resolved several nomenclature conflicts between genotype designations and using consensus criteria created a classification of HCV into seven confirmed genotypes and 67 subtypes. There are 21 additional complete coding region sequences of unassigned subtype. The study additionally describes the development of a Web resource hosted by the International Committee for Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) that maintains and regularly updates tables of reference isolates, accession numbers, and annotated alignments (http://talk.ictvonline.org/links/hcv/hcv-classification.htm). The Flaviviridae Study Group urges those who need to check or propose new genotypes or subtypes of HCV to contact the Study Group in advance of publication to avoid nomenclature conflicts appearing in the literature. While the criteria for assigning genotypes and subtypes remain unchanged from previous consensus proposals, changes are proposed in the assignment of provisional subtypes, subtype numbering beyond w, and the nomenclature of intergenotypic recombinant. Conclusion: This study represents an important reference point for the consensus classification of HCV variants that will be of value to researchers working in clinical and basic science fields.

AB We digitally implement an extremum seeking (ES) algorithm, which optimizes the rise time of the output voltage of a high voltage converter modulator (HVCM) at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center by iteratively, simultaneously tuning the first eight switching edges of each of the three-phase drive waveforms (24 variables total). We achieve a 50 mu s rise time, which is reduction in half, compared to the 100 mu s achieved at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Considering that HVCMs typically operate with an output voltage of 100 kV, with a 60-Hz repetition rate, the 50 mu s rise time reduction will result in very significant energy savings. The ES algorithm will prove successful, despite the noisy measurements and cost calculations, confirming the theoretical results that the algorithm is not affected by noise whose frequency components are independent of the perturbing frequencies.

ID PROBABILISTIC SPINNING RESERVE; UNIT COMMITMENT; DEMAND; REQUIREMENTS;

AB We propose a probabilistic methodology to estimate a demand curve for operating reserves, where the curve represents the amount that a system operator is willing to pay for these services. The demand curve is quantified by the cost of unserved energy and the expected loss of load, accounting for uncertainty from generator contingencies, load forecasting errors, and wind power forecasting errors. The methodology addresses two key challenges in electricity market design: integrating wind power more efficiently and improving scarcity pricing. In a case study, we apply the proposed operating reserve strategies in a two-settlement electricity market with centralized unit commitment and economic dispatch and co-optimization of energy and reserves. We compare the proposed probabilistic approach to traditional operating reserve rules. We use the Illinois power system to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed reserve market modeling approach when it is combined with probabilistic wind power forecasting.

AB We present a method to estimate the capacity value of storage. Our method uses a dynamic program to model the effect of power system outages on the operation and state of charge of storage in subsequent periods. We combine the optimized dispatch from the dynamic program with estimated system loss of load probabilities to compute a probability distribution for the state of charge of storage in each period. This probability distribution can be used as a forced outage rate for storage in standard reliability-based capacity value estimation methods. Our proposed method has the advantage over existing approximations that it explicitly captures the effect of system shortage events on the state of charge of storage in subsequent periods. We also use a numerical case study, based on five utility systems in the U. S., to demonstrate our technique and compare it to existing approximation methods.

AB The first part of this two-paper series discusses the motivation of implementing a primary frequency response (PFR) market in restructured pool-based power markets, as well as the market design that would create the right incentives to provide the response reliably. PFR is the immediate, autonomous response of generation and demand to system frequency deviations. It is the critical response required to avoid triggering under-and over-frequency relays or instability that could lead to machine damage, load-shedding, and in the extreme case, blackouts. Currently, in many restructured power systems throughout the world, ancillary services markets have been developed to incent technologies to provide the services to support power system reliability. However, few ancillary services markets include a market explicitly incentivizing the provision of PFR. Historically, PFR was an inherent feature available in conventional generating technologies, and in most systems, more was available than needed. Yet, recent trends in declining frequency response, the introduction of emerging technologies, and market behavior may soon require innovative market designs to incent resources to provide this valuable service.

AB The second part of this two-paper series analyzes the primary frequency response (PFR) market design developed in its companion paper with several case studies. The simulations will show how the scheduling and pricing change depending on whether requirements for PFR are included as well as how the requirements are defined. We first perform simulations on the base case IEEE RTS and show differences in production costs, prices, and amount of PFR when incorporating the PFR constraints. We show how new market designs can affect other linked markets when performing co-optimization. We then test a system with a significant amount of wind power, which does not provide PFR or synchronous inertia, to see how the incorporation of PFR constraints may become more critical on future systems. We then show how pricing can reduce make-whole payments and ensure resources needed for reliability reasons are incentivized. Lastly, we show how resources that improve their capabilities can earn additional profit if the improvement is needed ensuring the incentives can work for innovation in PFR capabilities.

DT Article
ID MULTIPLE SIGNAL CLASSIFICATION; TIME-REVERSAL; TARGETS; TISSUES; SYSTEM
AB Time-reversal imaging with multiple signal classification (TR-MUSIC) is a super-resolution ultrasound imaging method for detecting point scatterers. This algorithm assumes that there is no contrast between the density of the point targets and that of the background medium, and that ultrasound scattering is caused only by the compressibility contrast. We modify the TR-MUSIC algorithm to account for ultrasound scattering from point targets with both density and compressibility contrasts. In addition, we develop an inversion method for estimating the density and compressibility contrasts of point scatterers with known locations. This approach is an extension of the inversion method previously developed by Devaney et al. for estimating the scattering strengths of point targets that have no density contrasts relative to the background medium. We use numerical phantom data to demonstrate that our new TR-MUSIC inversion algorithm can reliably estimate the density and compressibility contrasts of point scatterers. The estimates of these properties could be used for distinguishing breast calcifications from other tissue scatterers.

TI Ceramic Coatings and Glass Additives for Improved SiC-Based Filters for
Molten Iron Filtration
SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPLIED CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY
LA English
DT Article
AB Reticulated silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic filters are prepared with modified coatings in an attempt to improve mechanical properties of the sintered filter. Two classes of coatings are used: mixtures of non-SiC ceramic and sintering aid and mixtures of SiC and glass. Various candidate ceramics, sintering aids, and glasses are screened. The most promising coatings are determined to be silica with 5wt% bismuth oxide and SiC with 10wt% Spruce Pine Batch glass. Filters with these coatings are prepared and subjected to mechanical abuse. Both coatings improve the ruggedness of the filter relative to the standard uncoated SiC type. Filters with <10wt% glass additive were subjected to molten metal impingement and filtration of liquid gray iron at 1510 degrees C. Those with 5wt% glass or more softened during filtration. Those with 2.5wt% glass or less survived without failure.

AB In this article, we highlighted twinning-associated boundaries that play crucial roles in nucleation, growth, and interactions of deformation twins. According to microscopic characterizations and atomistic simulations in Mg, three types of boundaries are reviewed, including (I) prismatic-basal boundaries associated with twin nucleation via pure-shuffle mechanism, (II) serrated coherent twin boundaries associated with twin growth and shrinkage via glide and climb of twinning dislocations, and (III) tilt prismatic-prismatic and basal-basal boundaries associated with co-zone twin-twin interactions. More importantly, these boundaries affect twinning and detwinning processes that may correspond to twinning-induced hardening and seem universally associated with twins in hexagonal close-packed metals.

AB Interface-dominated nanolayered crystalline composites exhibit extraordinary strength and hardness, far beyond those of their constituent materials. Modeling the deformation of such materials would aid in understanding and designing them for future applications. This task is a multiscale effort. Up to now, most modeling efforts lie at either the atomic scale or the mesoscale. Models that link the two scales are missing. In this work, we develop some tools that aim to help in making this important connection.

TI Trends in Grain Boundary Mobility: Survey of Motion Mechanisms
SO JOM
LA English
DT Article
ID COPPER; METALS; MIGRATION; GROWTH
AB Grain boundary (GB) motion in polycrystalline materials is expected and observed to be dominated by thermally activated processes. This has important implications for properties influenced by the presence of GBs. Here, the GB motions of a catalog of 388 simulated nickel boundaries reveal a rich set of behaviors, which demonstrate that the temperature dependencies of GB mobility are far more complex than originally believed. In the set of 388 boundaries, four different general classes were observed with the following percentages: (I) similar to 57% exhibited traditional thermally activated mobility; (II) similar to 20% exhibited non-thermally activated mobility, where mobility was either independent of temperature or mobility decreased with increasing temperature (i.e., not thermally activated); (III) similar to 14% exhibited mixed modes of mobility, where different trends were exhibited over different temperature regimes (e.g., thermally activated at low temperature and non-thermally activated at high temperature); and (IV) similar to 9% exhibited unclassifiable mobility trends or were immobile over the studied temperature range. Thus, although the studied set of boundaries is not statistically representative of all GBs, it indicates that we must expand our preconceived notions to include new and interesting phenomena.

TI Grain Boundary Responses to Heterogeneous Deformation in Tantalum
Polycrystals
SO JOM
LA English
DT Article
ID MICROSTRUCTURE; DISLOCATION; NUCLEATION; METALS
AB The evolution of heterogeneous deformation in a tantalum polycrystal was examined during a three-point bending experiment using electron backscatter pattern mapping. Slip bands formed at strains as low as 1%, and they became more intense with strain. Heterogeneous deformation was evident as intragranular orientation gradients as large as 30A degrees were observed after a strain of about 8%. Nonmonotonic changes in the local average misorientation distribution were observed, implying that dislocation substructure developed in a complex manner. Slip bands were analyzed using plane traces computed from local orientation information. With the assumption of uniaxial stress, Schmid factors for favorable slip systems were identified for each grain and compared with observations, showing evidence for macroscopic activity on both {110} and {112} slip systems. Reconstructed boundary data were used to estimate the geometric potential for slip transfer at grain boundaries. The correlations indicated that when active slip systems were favorably oriented for slip transfer across the boundary, it was often observed in the form of continuous slip bands aligned across the boundary. In boundaries where geometrical alignment and Schmid factors were not favorable for slip transfer, there was a higher likelihood to form ledges (topographic discontinuities) along the grain boundaries. Dislocation pileups at grain boundaries were also correlated with a low potential for slip transfer.

AB The effect of crystalline structure on intergranular failure during shock loading has been examined. A suite of dynamic tensile experiments, using plate-impact testing, were conducted on copper (face-centered cubic) and tantalum (body-centered cubic) specimens with different grain sizes (30-200 mu m). These experiments were designed to probe void nucleation, growth, and coalescence processes that for these materials are known to lead to failure. For the grain sizes examined in the study, post-impact metallographic analyses show that in copper specimens, during the early stages of deformation, voids were present primarily at general or low-coincidence, high-angle grain boundaries (GBs), irrespective of grain size. In tantalum, while some voids developed along the GBs, an increasing amount of transgranular damage was observed as the grain size increased. A scenario based on the availability of potential nucleation sites and number of slip systems inherent to each crystalline structure is discussed. The role that this availability plays in either promoting or hindering plastic processes leading to damage nucleation and growth is then examined.

AB The impact of Agulhas leakage variability on the strength of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) in the Community Climate System Model, version 4 (CCSM4) is investigated. In this model an advective connection exists that transports salinity anomalies from the Agulhas region into the North Atlantic on decadal (30-40 yr) time scales. However, there is no identifiable impact of Agulhas leakage on the strength of the AMOC, suggesting that the salinity variations are too weak to significantly modify the stratification in the North Atlantic. It is argued that this study is inconclusive with respect to an impact of Agulhas leakage on the AMOC. Salinity biases leave the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans too homogeneous, in particular erasing the observed salinity front in the Agulhas retroflection region. Consequently, salinity variability in the southeastern South Atlantic is found to be much weaker than observed.

AB This study presents the first twenty-first-century projections of surface mass balance (SMB) changes for the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) with the Community Earth System Model (CESM), which includes a new ice sheet component. For glaciated surfaces, CESM includes a sophisticated calculation of energy fluxes, surface albedo, and snowpack hydrology (melt, percolation, refreezing, etc.). To efficiently resolve the high SMB gradients at the ice sheet margins and provide surface forcing at the scale needed by ice sheet models, the SMB is calculated at multiple elevations and interpolated to a finer 5-km ice sheet grid. During a twenty-first-century simulation driven by representative concentration pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) forcing, the SMB decreases from 372 +/- 100 Gt yr(-1) in 1980-99 to -78 +/- 143 Gt yr(-1) in 2080-99. The 2080-99 near-surface temperatures over the GIS increase by 4.7 K (annual mean) with respect to 1980-99, only 1.3 times the global increase (+3.7 K). Snowfall increases by 18%, while surface melt doubles. The ablation area increases from 9% of the GIS in 1980-99 to 28% in 2080-99. Over the ablation areas, summer downward longwave radiation and turbulent fluxes increase, while incoming shortwave radiation decreases owing to increased cloud cover. The reduction in GIS-averaged July albedo from 0.78 in 1980-99 to 0.75 in 2080-99 increases the absorbed solar radiation in this month by 12%. Summer warming is strongest in the north and east of Greenland owing to reduced sea ice cover. In the ablation area, summer temperature increases are smaller due to frequent periods of surface melt.

AB There is a considerable resurgence of interest in the role of aerobic glycolysis in cancer; however, increased glycolysis is frequently viewed as a consequence of oncogenic events that drive malignant cell growth and survival. Here we provide evidence that increased glycolytic activation itself can be an oncogenic event in a physiologically relevant 3D culture model. Overexpression of glucose transporter type 3 (GLUT3) in nonmalignant human breast cells activated known oncogenic signaling pathways, including EGFR, beta 1 integrin, MEK, and AKT, leading to loss of tissue polarity and increased growth. Conversely, reduction of glucose uptake in malignant cells promoted the formation of organized and growth-arrested structures with basal polarity, and suppressed oncogenic pathways. Unexpectedly and importantly, we found that unlike reported literature, in 3D the differences between "normal" and malignant phenotypes could not be explained by HIF-l alpha/2 alpha, AMPK, or mTOR pathways. Loss of epithelial integrity involved activation of RAP1 via exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (EPAC), involving also O-linked N-acetylglucosamine modification downstream of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway. The former, in turn, was mediated by pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) interaction with soluble adenylyl cyclase. Our findings show that increased glucose uptake activates known oncogenic pathways to induce malignant phenotype, and provide possible targets for diagnosis and therapeutics.

AB The precise morphology of the mechanosensitive hair bundle requires seamless integration of actin and microtubule networks. Here, we identify Acf7a (actin crosslinking family protein 7a) as a protein positioned to bridge these distinct cytoskeletal networks in hair cells. By imaging Acf7a-Citrine fusion protein in zebrafish and immunolabeling of vestibular and cochlear mouse hair cells, we show that Acf7a and ACF7 circumscribe, underlie, and are interwoven into the cuticular plate (CP), and they also encircle the basal body of the kinocilium. In cochlear hair cells, ACF7 localization is graded, with the highest concentration near each fonticulus-an area free of F-actin in the region of the CP that contains the basal body. During hair-cell development and regeneration, Acf7a precedes formation of the hair bundle and CP. Finally, electron tomography demonstrates that the ends of microtubules insert into the CP and are decorated with filamentous linkers connecting microtubules to the CP. These observations are consistent with ACF7 being a linker protein, which may shape the cytoskeleton of the hair cell early during hair-bundle genesis.

AB Alkali lime silicate glasses containing 5 wt% of CoO were investigated by Co K-edge XANES and EXAFS and optical absorption spectroscopy. Our results reveal the presence of tetrahedral Co2+ connected with the glass network, with a Co-IV-O-Si angle of 134 degrees. Changing the alkali from K+ to Na+ induces an increase of the local disorder around Co2+, as shown by a decrease of the contribution from the second neighbors in the EXAFS signal. We propose two models for interpreting the structure of the second shell of neighbors. Our results provide a structural basis for rationalizing the optical properties of Co2+ species in glasses.

TI Microscopic Removal Function and the Relationship Between Slurry
Particle Size Distribution and Workpiece Roughness During Pad Polishing
SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY

ID CHEMICAL-MECHANICAL PLANARIZATION; FUSED-SILICA; GLASS; DEFECTS; DAMAGE
AB Various ceria and colloidal silica polishing slurries were used to polish fused silica glass workpieces on a polyurethane pad. Characterization of the slurries' particle size distribution (PSD) (using both ensemble light scattering and single particle counting techniques) and of the polished workpiece surface (using atomic force microscopy) was performed. The results show the final workpiece surface roughness is quantitatively correlated with the logarithmic slope of the distribution function for the largest particles at the exponential tail end of the PSD. Using the measured PSD, fraction of pad area making contact, and mechanical properties of the workpiece, slurry, and pad as input parameters, an Ensemble Hertzian Gap (EHG) polishing model was formulated to estimate each particle's penetration, load, and contact zone. The model is based on multiple Hertzian contact of slurry particles at the workpiece-pad interface in which the effective interface gap is determined through an elastic load balance. Separately, ceria particle static contact and single pass sliding experiments were performed showing similar to 1-nm depth removal per pass (i.e., a plastic type removal). Also, nanoindentation measurements on fused silica were made to estimate the critical load at which plastic type removal starts to occur (P-crit similar to 5 x 10(-5) N). Next the EHG model was extended to create simulated polished surfaces using the Monte Carlo method where each particle (with the calculated characteristics described above) slides and removes material from the silica surface in random directions. The polishing simulation utilized a constant depth removal mechanism (i.e., not scaling with particle size) of the elastic deformation zone cross section between the particle and silica surface, which was either 0.04 nm (for chemical removal) at low loads (P-crit). The simulated surfaces quantitatively compare well with the measured rms roughness, power spectra, surface texture, absolute thickness material removal rate, and load dependence of removal rate.

AB As the serious effects of global climate change become apparent and access to fossil fuels becomes more limited, metabolic engineers and synthetic biologists are looking towards greener sources for transportation fuels. In recent years, microbial production of high-energy fuels by economically efficient bioprocesses has emerged as an attractive alternative to the traditional production of transportation fuels. Here, we engineered the budding yeast Saccharornyces cerevisiae to produce fatty acid-derived biofuels and chemicals from simple sugars. Specifically, we overexpressed all three fatty acid biosynthesis genes, namely acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC1), fatty acid synthase 1 (FAS1) and fatty acid synthase 2 (FAS2), in S. cerevisiae. When coupled to triacylglycerol (TAG) production, the engineered strain accumulated lipid to more than 17% of its dry cell weight, a four-fold improvement over the control strain. Understanding that TAG cannot be used directly as fuels, we also engineered S. cerevisiae to produce drop-in fuels and chemicals. Altering the terminal "converting enzyme" in the engineered strain led to the production of free fatty acids at a titer of approximately 400 mg/L, fatty alcohols at approximately 100 mg/L and fatty acid ethyl esters (biocliesel) at approximately 5 mg/L directly from simple sugars. We envision that our approach will provide a scalable, controllable and economic route to this important class of chemicals. (C) 2013 International Metabolic Engineering Society.

SO MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION STRATEGIES FOR GLOBAL CHANGE

DE Bioethanol; Gasoline prices; Biofuel
AB The rising prices of crude oil in the world market and the continuing global trend to mainstream renewable energy use have prompted the Philippines to consider alternative fuels. Since 2006 when a new law was implemented requiring a 10 % blend to unleaded gasoline, the use of ethanol has increased significantly. Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), cassava (Manihot esculenta ) and sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) have been the major feedstock in ethanol production. This analysis focused on the impacts of E10 (10 % ethanol content) on the retail price of gasoline and how this might affect gasoline prices. Recognizing the direct dependence of the price of E10 on gasoline prices, the analysis focused on analyzing the price of ethanol. The hypothesis is that since ethanol is what makes E10 cheaper than gas given the lower cost of its production i.e., domestically grown raw materials, then cheaper ethanol should depress the price of E10 and therefore gas, ceteris paribus. The price of E10 is endogenous since it is a function of the price of gasoline, being a major input to its production, 90 % in fact. Using fixed-effects, 2007-2009 provincial panel data, from second stage least squares econometric estimation, the impact of ethanol use on retail regular gasoline prices is quantified. The partial effect analysis indicates that a 1-peso (rate: 1USD - PhP 41.96) increase in the price of feedstock prices as inputs to the production of E10 increases the price of gasoline by 37 centavos per liter. The analysis shows the positive relationship between the prices of E10 and gasoline.

AB Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) threaten human health and the global environment. Recognizing their dangers many countries began to limit or ban POPs production, use, and release in the 1990s. Eventually the Stockholm Convention on POPs, was adopted in 2001 and entered into force in 2004. The Global Environment Facility (GEF) provides financial support to developing country Parties for the implementation of the Stockholm Convention. The GEF's POPs investment portfolio focuses on: 1) strengthening the capacity of developing country Parties to implement the Stockholm Convention; 2) establishing and supporting partnerships to develop and implement National Implementation Plans (NIPs), and 3) demonstrating and deploying best technologies and practices to reduce POPs emission, including development of safe alternatives. Since 2001 the GEF has committed US$568.8 million to POPs projects and leveraged some US$1474.5 million in co-financing from partners in the public and private sectors, bringing the total value of the GEF POPs portfolio to over US$2 billion. With GEF support, 108 developing country Parties have developed their NIPs. The GEF also financed 109 projects for the implementation of the Convention. Upon completion, these GEF POPs investments will contribute to the disposal of more than 70,000 tons of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) oil, contaminated equipments, and waste, more than 40,000 tons of obsolete POPs pesticides and associated waste, and reducing dioxin/furan and mercury emission by introducing environmentally sound technologies and best practices. This paper summarizes: 1) direct and indirect GEF investments to support the goals of the Stockholm Convention; 2) investment case studies on PCB, DichloroDiphenylTrichloroethane (DDT), chlordane and mirex, medical waste, obsolete POPs and engaging civil society; and 3) lessons learned in terms of GEF financing strategies, best technologies and environmental practices to address POPs.

TI DNA Double-Strand Break Repair Pathway Choice Is Directed by Distinct

AB MRE11 within the MRE11-RAD50-NBS1 (MRN) complex acts in DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR), detection, and signaling; yet, how its endo- and exonuclease activities regulate DSBR by non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) versus homologous recombination (HR) remains enigmatic. Here, we employed structure-based design with a focused chemical library to discover specific MRE11 endo- or exonuclease inhibitors. With these inhibitors, we examined repair pathway choice at DSBs generated in G2 following radiation exposure. While nuclease inhibition impairs radiation-induced replication protein A (RPA) chromatin binding, suggesting diminished resection, the inhibitors surprisingly direct different repair outcomes. Endonuclease inhibition promotes NHEJ in lieu of HR, while exonuclease inhibition confers a repair defect. Collectively, the results describe nuclease-specific MRE11 inhibitors, define distinct nuclease roles in DSB repair, and support a mechanism whereby MRE11 endonuclease initiates resection, thereby licensing HR followed by MRE11 exonuclease and EXO1/BLM bidirectional resection toward and away from the DNA end, which commits to HR.

AB R eversible modifications of cysteine thiols have a key role in redox signaling and regulation. A number of reversible redox modifications, including disulfide formation, S-nitrosylation (SNO) and S-glutathionylation (SSG), have been recognized for their significance in various physiological and pathological processes. Here we describe a procedure for the enrichment of peptides containing reversible cysteine modifications. Starting with tissue or cell lysate samples, all of the unmodified free thiols are blocked using N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). This is followed by the selective reduction of those cysteines bearing the reversible modification(s) of interest. The reduction is achieved by using different reducing reagents that react specifically with each type of cysteine modification (e. g., ascorbate for SNO). This protocol serves as a general approach for enrichment of thiol-containing proteins or peptides derived from reversibly modified proteins. The approach uses a commercially available thiol-affinity resin (thiopropyl Sepharose 6B) to directly capture free thiol-containing proteins through a disulfide exchange reaction, followed by on-resin protein digestion and multiplexed isobaric labeling to facilitate liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based quantitative site-specific analysis of cysteine-based reversible modifications. The overall approach requires a simpler workflow with increased specificity compared with the commonly used biotinylation-based assays. The procedure for selective enrichment and analyses of SNO and the level of total reversible cysteine modifications (or total oxidation) is presented to demonstrate the utility of this general strategy. The entire protocol requires similar to 3 d for sample processing with an additional day for LC-MS/MS and data analysis.

TI Development of the ITER baseline inductive scenario
SO NUCLEAR FUSION
LA English
DT Article
ID TRANSPORT; SIMULATIONS
AB Sustainment of Q similar to 10 operation with a fusion power of similar to 500 MW for several hundred seconds is a key mission goal of the ITER Project. Past calculations and simulations predict that these conditions can be produced in high-confinement mode operation (H-mode) at 15 MA relying on only inductive current drive. Earlier development of 15 MA baseline inductive plasma scenarios provided a focal point for the ITER Design Review conducted in 2007-2008. In the intervening period, detailed predictive simulations, supported by experimental demonstrations in existing tokamaks, allow us to assemble an end-to-end specification of this scenario consistent with the final design of the ITER device. Simulations have encompassed plasma initiation, current ramp-up, plasma burn and current ramp-down, and have included density profiles and thermal transport models producing temperature profiles consistent with edge pedestal conditions present in current fusion experiments. These quasi-stationary conditions are maintained due to the presence of edge-localized modes that limit the edge pressure. High temperatures and densities in the pedestal region produce significant edge bootstrap current that must be considered in modelling of feedback control of shape and vertical stability. In this paper we present new results of transport simulations fully consistent with the final ITER design that remain within allowed limits for the coil system and power supplies. These self-consistent simulations increase our confidence in meeting the challenges of the ITER program.

ID L-H TRANSITION
AB The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) has demonstrated, for the first time, long-pulse divertor plasmas over 400 s, entirely driven by lower hybrid current drive (LHCD), and further extended high-confinement plasmas, i.e. H-modes, over 30 s with predominantly LHCD and advanced lithium wall conditioning. Many new and exciting physics results have been obtained in the quest for long-pulse operations. The key findings are as follows: (1) access to H-modes in EAST favours the divertor configuration with the ion del B drift directed away from the dominant X-point; (2) divertor asymmetry during edge-localized modes (ELMs) also appears to be dependent on the toroidal field direction, with preferential particle flow opposite to the ion del B drift; (3) LHCD induces a striated heat flux (SHF), enhancing heat deposition away from the strike point, and the degree of SHF can be modified by supersonic molecule beam injection; (4) the long-pulse H-modes in EAST exhibit a confinement quality between type-I and type-III ELMy H-modes, with H-98(y,H-2) similar to 0.9, similar to type-II ELMy H-modes.

AB Since its inception in 2002, the International Tokamak Physics Activity topical group on Integrated Operational Scenarios (IOS) has coordinated experimental and modelling activity on the development of advanced inductive scenarios for applications in the ITER tokamak. The physics basis and the prospects for applications in ITER have been advanced significantly during that time, especially with respect to experimental results. The principal findings of this research activity are as follows. Inductive scenarios capable of higher normalized pressure (beta(N) >= 2.4) than the ITER baseline scenario (beta(N) = 1.8) with normalized confinement at or above the standard H-mode scaling are well established under stationary conditions on the four largest diverted tokamaks (AUG, DIII-D, JET, JT-60U), demonstrated in a database of more than 500 plasmas from these tokamaks analysed here. The parameter range where high performance is achieved is broad in q(95) and density normalized to the empirical density limit. MHD modes can play a key role in reaching stationary high performance, but also define the limits to achieved stability and confinement. Projection of performance in ITER from existing experiments uses empirical scalings and theory-based modelling. The status of the experimental validation of both approaches is summarized here. The database shows significant variation in the energy confinement normalized to standard H-mode confinement scalings, indicating the possible influence of additional physics variables absent from the scalings. Tests using the available information on rotation and the ratio of the electron and ion temperatures indicate neither of these variables in isolation can explain the variation in normalized confinement observed. Trends in the normalized confinement with the two dimensionless parameters that vary most from present-day experiments to ITER, gyroradius and collision frequency, are significant. Regression analysis on the multi-tokamak database has been performed, but it appears that the database is not conditioned sufficiently well to yield a new scaling for this type of plasma. Coordinated experiments on size scaling using the dimensionless parameter scaling approach find a weaker scaling with normalized gyroradius than the standard H-mode scaling. Preliminary studies on scaling with collision frequency show a favourable scaling stronger than the standard H-mode scaling. Coordinated modelling activity has resulted in successful benchmarking of modelling codes in the ITER regime. Validation of transport models using these codes on present-day experiments is in progress, but no single model has been shown to capture the variations seen in the experiments. However, projection to ITER using these models is in general agreement with the favourable projections found with the empirical scalings.

AB First time experimental evidence is presented for a direct link between the decay of a n = 3 plasma response and the formation of a three-dimensional (3D) plasma boundary. We inspect a lower single-null L-mode plasma which first reacts at sufficiently high rotation with an ideal resonant screening response to an external toroidal mode number n = 3 resonant magnetic perturbation field. Decay of this response due to reduced bulk plasma rotation changes the plasma state considerably. Signatures such as density pump out and a spin up of the edge rotation-which are usually connected to formation of a stochastic boundary-are detected. Coincident, striation of the divertor single ionized carbon emission and a 3D emission structure in double ionized carbon at the separatrix is seen. The striated C II pattern follows in this stage the perturbed magnetic footprint modelled without a plasma response (vacuum approach). This provides for the first time substantial experimental evidence, that a 3D plasma boundary with direct impact on the divertor particle flux pattern is formed as soon as the internal plasma response decays. The resulting divertor structure follows the vacuum modelled magnetic field topology. However, the inward extension of the perturbed boundary layer can still not directly be determined from these measurements.

AB The intermediate oscillatory phase during the L-H transition, termed the I-phase, is studied in the EAST superconducting tokamak using a newly developed dual gas puff imaging (GPI) system near the L-H transition power threshold. The experimental observations suggest that the oscillatory behaviour appearing at the L-H transition could be induced by the synergistic effect of the two components of the sheared m, n = 0 E x B flow, i.e. the turbulence-driven zonal flow (ZF) and the equilibrium flow. The latter arises from the equilibrium, and is, to leading order, balanced by the ion diamagnetic term in the radial force balance equation. A slow increase in the poloidal flow and its shear at the plasma edge are observed tens of milliseconds prior to the I-phase. During the I-phase, the turbulence recovery appears to originate from the vicinity of the separatrix with clear wave fronts propagating both outwards into the far scrape-off layer (SOL) and inwards into the core plasma. The turbulence Reynolds stress is directly measured using the GPI system during the I-phase, providing direct evidence of kinetic energy transfer from turbulence to ZFs at the plasma edge. The GPI observations strongly suggest that the SOL transport physics and the evolution of pressure gradient near the separatrix play an important role in the L-I-H transition dynamics. To highlight these new physics, the previous predator-prey model is extended to include a new equation for the SOL physics. The model successfully reproduces the L-I-H transition process with several features comparing favourably with GPI observations.

AB The chemistry of carbonyl oxides, known as Criegee intermediates, is central to many aspects of tropospheric chemistry. For decades it has been known that these reactive species, whose electronic structure contains zwitterionic and biradical character, are formed in the ozonolysis of alkenes. However it is only recently that direct measurements of their reaction kinetics have become possible. In this perspective we describe the most recent progress in understanding the reactivity of these historically elusive molecules, explore the atmospheric chemistry implications of new experimental discoveries, and propose important new areas for investigation.

AB The domain structure of an amorphous, "blue layer'' iridium-oxide water-oxidation catalyst film (BL) electrodeposited from the soluble precursor complex, [Cp*Ir(H2O)(3)]SO4, was characterized by X-ray pair distribution function (PDF) analysis. The results show that the experimental PDF can be fit remarkably well using a single Ir5O22 cluster extracted from the rutile lattice. The model includes distortions that indicate the presence of Ir(mu-O)(3)Ir or distorted Ir(mu-O)(2)Ir substructures, and hence deviations from a rutile structure. The five Ir atom cluster is suggested to represent the population-averaged distribution of metal-oxo clusters in the film. BL is found to be distinguished from other amorphous film water-oxidation catalysts because of the remarkably small domain size and homogeneity. As such, the blue layer catalyst provides a model for investigating ligand-determined metal-oxide cluster assembly and catalyst mechanism.

AB To gain insight into the transport behavior of gas molecules such as CO2 versus N-2 through ionic liquid membranes, we performed molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the structure and dynamics of CO2 and N-2 gases in a tetracyanoborate based ionic liquid recently shown to exhibit high CO2/N-2 permselectivity. We found that upon addition of CO2 or N-2 the liquid structure does not change. CO2 or N-2 molecules occupy the voids between ions and their local environments are found to be similar. Gas diffusivity is about one order of magnitude greater than that of the cation or anion. Dissolved N-2 diffuses slightly faster than CO2. We hence conclude that the high permeability selectivity of CO2 versus N-2 observed experimentally is mainly due to the disparity in gas solubility. In other words, the much higher solubility of CO2 in tetracyanoborate-based ionic liquids such as 1- ethyl- 3- methylimidazolium tetracyanoborate [emimB(CN) 4] leads to their high CO2 permeability. Based on the experimental solubility and the simulated diffusivity, we obtained a permeability of 2830 barrer for CO2 in emimB( CN) 4 at 300 K, in good agreement with the experimental value of 2040 barrer.

AB As electronic devices are scaled down to submicron sizes, it has become critical to obtain uniform and robust insulating nanoscale polymer films. For that reason, we address the electrical properties of grafted polymer layers made of poly(glycidyl methacrylate), polyacrylic acid, poly(2-vinylpyridine), and polystyrene with thicknesses of 10-20 nm. It was found that layers insulating under normal ambient conditions can display a significant increase in conductivity as the environment changes. Namely, we demonstrated that the in-plane electrical conductivity of the polymer grafted layers can be changed by at least two orders of magnitude upon exposure to water or organic solvent vapors. Conductive properties of all polymer grafted films under study could also be significantly enhanced with an increase in temperature. The observed phenomenon makes possible the chemical design of polymer nanoscale layers with reduced or enhanced sensitivity to the anticipated change in environmental conditions. Finally, we demonstrated that the observed effects could be used in a micron-sized conductometric transducing scheme for the detection of volatile organic solvents.

AB CdS incorporated Si-MCM-48 and Ti-MCM-48 cubic phased mesoporous photocatalysts were prepared by a two-step modification synthetic approach under relatively mild conditions. A highly efficient (24.8%, apparent quantum yield (AQY)) photocatalyst for visible light (lambda > 400 nm) enabled solar hydrogen evolution can be realized by assembling CdS with Ti-MCM-48 cubic mesoporous materials in the absence of a noble metal co-catalyst. The photocatalytic mechanism was thoroughly investigated and demonstrated by conducting a wealth of characterization techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption isotherm, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UVPS), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, time-resolved fluorescence emission decay, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy studies. This work is the first to unambiguously identify the band positions of both CdS and TiO2 encapsulated in porous materials. The photocatalytic activity of the CdS incorporated Ti-MCM-48 mesoporous photocatalysts was found to be dependent on the content of both CdS and TiO2. A correlation between the electron injection efficiency and the photocatalytic activity was established as well in the CdS incorporated Ti-MCM-48 mesoporous photocatalysts.

AB Cyclopropane fatty acids (CPAs) are desirable as renewable chemical feedstocks for the production of paints, plastics, and lubricants. Toward our goal of creating a CPA-accumulating crop, we expressed nine higher plant cyclopropane synthase (CPS) enzymes in the seeds of fad2fae1 Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and observed accumulation of less than 1% CPA. Surprisingly, expression of the Escherichia coli CPS gene resulted in the accumulation of up to 9.1% CPA in the seed. Coexpression of a Sterculia foetida lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (SfLPAT) increases CPA accumulation up to 35% in individual T1 seeds. However, seeds with more than 9% CPA exhibit wrinkled seed morphology and reduced size and oil accumulation. Seeds with more than 11% CPA exhibit strongly decreased seed germination and establishment, and no seeds with CPA more than 15% germinated. That previous reports suggest that plant CPS prefers the stereospecific numbering (sn)-1 position whereas E. coli CPS acts on sn-2 of phospholipids prompted us to investigate the preferred positions of CPS on phosphatidylcholine (PC) and triacylglycerol. Unexpectedly, in planta, E. coli CPS acts primarily on the sn-1 position of PC; coexpression of SfLPAT results in the incorporation of CPA at the sn-2 position of lysophosphatidic acid. This enables a cycle that enriches CPA at both sn-1 and sn-2 positions of PC and results in increased accumulation of CPA. These data provide proof of principle that CPA can accumulate to high levels in transgenic seeds and sets the stage for the identification of factors that will facilitate the movement of CPA from PC into triacylglycerol to produce viable seeds with additional CPA accumulation.

AB Inducible production of proteins from cloned genes in E. coli is widely used, economical, and effective. However, common practices can result in unintended induction, inadvertently generating cultures that give poor or variable yields in protein production. Recipes are provided for (1) defined culture media in which expression strains grow to saturation without induction, thereby ensuring stable frozen stocks and seed cultures with high fractions of fully inducible cells, and (2) defined or complex media that maintain the same high fraction of inducible cells until auto-induction in late log phase to produce fully induced high-density cultures at saturation. Simply inoculating a suitable auto-inducing medium from such a seed culture and growing to saturation generally produces much higher levels of target protein per volume of culture than monitoring culture growth and adding IPTG or other inducer at the appropriate cell density. Many strains may be conveniently screened in parallel, and burdensome inoculation with fresh colonies, sometimes employed in hopes of assuring high yields, is entirely unnecessary. These media were developed for the T7 expression system using pET vectors in BL21(DE3) but are suitable or adaptable for other inducible expression systems in E. coli and for labeling proteins with selenomethionine for X-ray crystallography or with stable isotopes for NMR.

Diffraction Anisotropy

DT Article; Book Chapter
DE Diffraction anisotropy; Crystallographic refinement
AB Diffraction anisotropy is characterized by variation in diffraction quality with reciprocal lattice direction. In the example presented here, diffraction extended to 2.1 angstrom resolution along a* and c* directions but only to 3.0 angstrom along the b* direction. Severe anisotropy such as this is often associated with lack of detail in electron density maps, stalled model improvement, and poor refinement statistics. Published methods for overcoming these difficulties have been combined and implemented in the diffraction anisotropy server. Specifically, the server offers information to diagnose the degree of anisotropy, and then applies ellipsoidal resolution boundaries, anisotropic scaling, and B-factor sharpening to the data set to compensate for the deleterious effects of diffraction anisotropy. Here, I offer advice on implementing these methods to facilitate refinement of macromolecular structures in cases of severely anisotropic data.

AB The recent innovation of collecting X-ray scattering from solutions containing purified macromolecules in high-throughput has yet to be truly exploited by the biological community. Yet, this capability is becoming critical given that the growth of sequence and genomics data is significantly outpacing structural biology results. Given the huge mismatch in information growth rates between sequence and structural methods, their combined high-throughput and high success rate make high-throughput small angle X-ray scattering (HT-SAXS) analyses increasingly valuable. HT-SAXS connects sequence as well as NMR and crystallographic results to biological outcomes by defining the flexible and dynamic complexes controlling cell biology. Commonly falling under the umbrella of bio-SAXS, HT-SAXS data collection pipelines have or are being developed at most synchrotrons. How investigators practically get their biomolecules of interest into these pipelines, balance sample requirements and manage HT-SAXS data output format varies from facility to facility. While these features are unlikely to be standardized across synchrotron beamlines, a detailed description of HT-SAXS issues for one pipeline provides investigators with a practical guide to the general procedures they will encounter. One of the longest running and generally accessible HT-SAXS endstations is the SIBYLS beamline at the Advanced Light Source in Berkeley CA. Here we describe the current state of the SIBYLS HT-SAXS pipeline, what is necessary for investigators to integrate into it, the output format and a summary of results from 2 years of operation. Assessment of accumulated data informs issues of concentration, background, buffers, sample handling, sample shipping, homogeneity requirements, error sources, aggregation, radiation sensitivity, interpretation, and flags for concern. By quantitatively examining success and failures as a function of sample and data characteristics, we define practical concerns, considerations, and concepts for optimally applying HT-SAXS techniques to biological samples.

AB Quality control of three-dimensional structures of macromolecules is a critical step to ensure the integrity of structural biology data, especially those produced by structural genomics centers. Whereas the Protein Data Bank (PDB) has proven to be a remarkable success overall, the inconsistent quality of structures reveals a lack of universal standards for structure/deposit validation. Here, we review the state-of-the-art methods used in macromolecular structure validation, focusing on validation of structures determined by X-ray crystallography. We describe some general protocols used in the rebuilding and re-refinement of problematic structural models. We also briefly discuss some frontier areas of structure validation, including refinement of protein-ligand complexes, automation of structure redetermination, and the use of NMR structures and computational models to solve X-ray crystal structures by molecular replacement.

TI A user-oriented web crawler for selectively acquiring online content in
e-health research
SO BIOINFORMATICS
LA English
DT Article
AB Motivation: Life stories of diseased and healthy individuals are abundantly available on the Internet. Collecting and mining such online content can offer many valuable insights into patients' physical and emotional states throughout the pre-diagnosis, diagnosis, treatment and post-treatment stages of the disease compared with those of healthy subjects. However, such content is widely dispersed across the web. Using traditional query-based search engines to manually collect relevant materials is rather labor intensive and often incomplete due to resource constraints in terms of human query composition and result parsing efforts. The alternative option, blindly crawling the whole web, has proven inefficient and unaffordable for e-health researchers.
Results: We propose a user-oriented web crawler that adaptively acquires user-desired content on the Internet to meet the specific online data source acquisition needs of e-health researchers. Experimental results on two cancer-related case studies show that the new crawler can substantially accelerate the acquisition of highly relevant online content compared with the existing state-of-the-art adaptive web crawling technology. For the breast cancer case study using the full training set, the new method achieves a cumulative precision between 74.7 and 79.4% after 5 h of execution till the end of the 20-h long crawling session as compared with the cumulative precision between 32.8 and 37.0% using the peer method for the same time period. For the lung cancer case study using the full training set, the new method achieves a cumulative precision between 56.7 and 61.2% after 5 h of execution till the end of the 20-h long crawling session as compared with the cumulative precision between 29.3 and 32.4% using the peer method. Using the reduced training set in the breast cancer case study, the cumulative precision of our method is between 44.6 and 54.9%, whereas the cumulative precision of the peer method is between 24.3 and 26.3%; for the lung cancer case study using the reduced training set, the cumulative precisions of our method and the peer method are, respectively, between 35.7 and 46.7% versus between 24.1 and 29.6%. These numbers clearly show a consistently superior accuracy of our method in discovering and acquiring user-desired online content for e-health research.

TI Stability of solid-phase selenium species in fly ash after prolonged

AB Selenium (Se) chemistry can be very complex in the natural environment, exhibiting different valence states (-2, 0, +4, +6) representing multiple inorganic, methylated, or complexed forms. Since redox associated shifts among most of known Se species can occur at environmentally relevant conditions, it is important to identify these species in order to assess their potential toxicity to organisms. In June of 2009, researchers from the US Army Engineer Research & Development Center (ERDC) conducted investigations of the fly ash spilled 6 months previously into the Emory River at the TVA Kingston Fossil Plant, TN. Ash samples were collected on site from both the original ash pile (that did not move during the levee failure), from the spill zone (including the Emory River), and from the ash recovery ditch CARD) containing ash removed during dredging cleanup operations. The purpose of this work was to determine the state of Se in the spilled fly ash and to assess its potential for transformation and resultant chemical stability from its prolonged submersion in the river and subsequent dredging. Sequential chemical extractions suggested that the river environment shifted Se distribution toward organic/sulfide species. Speciation studies by bulk XANES analysis on fly ash samples showed that a substantial portion of the Se in the original ash pile had transformed from inorganic selenite to a mixture of Se sulfide and reduced (organo)selenium (Se(-II)) species over the 6-month period. mu-XRF mapping data showed that significant trends in the co-location of Se domains with sulfur and ash heavy metals. Ten-d extended elutriate tests (EETs) that were bubbled continuously with atmospheric air to simulate worst-case oxidizing conditions during dredging showed no discernible change in the speciation of fly ash selenium. The enhanced stability of the organo- and sulfide-selenium species coincided with the mixture of the ash material with humic materials in the river, corresponding with notable shifts in the ash carbon- and nitrogen-functionality.

AB XMapTools is a MATLAB(C)-based graphical user interface program for electron microprobe X-ray image processing, which can be used to estimate the pressure-temperature conditions of crystallization of minerals in metamorphic rocks. This program (available online at http://www.xmaptools.com) provides a method to standardize raw electron microprobe data and includes functions to calculate the oxide weight percent compositions for various minerals. A set of external functions is provided to calculate structural formulae from the standardized analyses as well as to estimate pressure-temperature conditions of crystallization, using empirical and semi-empirical thermobarometers from the literature. Two graphical user interface modules, Chem2D and Triplot3D, are used to plot mineral compositions into binary and ternary diagrams. As an example, the software is used to study a high-pressure Himalayan eclogite sample from the Stak massif in Pakistan. The high-pressure paragenesis consisting of omphacite and garnet has been retrogressed to a symplectitic assemblage of amphibole, plagioclase and clinopyroxene. Mineral compositions corresponding to 165,000 analyses yield estimates for the eclogitic pressure-temperature retrograde path from 25 kbar to 9 kbar. Corresponding pressuretemperature maps were plotted and used to interpret the link between the equilibrium conditions of crystallization and the symplectitic microstructures. This example illustrates the usefulness of XMapTools for studying variations of the chemical composition of minerals and for retrieving information on metamorphic conditions on a microscale, towards computation of continuous pressure-temperature-and relative time path in zoned metamorphic minerals not affected by post-crystallization diffusion.

AB Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of the symmetrical molecular wire compound Co-3(dpa)(4)Cl-2 center dot(dcm) have been performed up to a pressure of 3.6 GPa using both synchrotron and conventional sources. It is found that the terminal Co-Cl bond distance initially increases by 0.013(4) angstrom at 0.32 GPa after which it continuously decreases. Extensive theoretical calculations show that population of a thermally excited state containing increased Co-Cl anti-bonding character is a possibility at 0.32 GPa. The relative occupancy of the disordered dcm solvent molecule changes significantly with pressure and this is explained by the analysis of void spaces and Hirshfeld surfaces at different pressures. At 3.2 GPa, fingerprint plots derived from Hirshfeld surfaces indicate that neighbouring metal chain compounds approach each other such that short H. H interactions appear.

AB The total community genomic DNA (gDNA) from permafrost was extracted using four commercial DNA extraction kits. The gDNAs were compared using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) targeting 16S rRNA genes and bacterial diversity analyses obtained via 454 pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA (V3 region) amplified in single or nested PCR. The FastDNA((R)) SPIN (FDS) Kit provided the highest gDNA yields and 16S rRNA gene concentrations, followed by MoBio PowerSoil((R)) (PS) and MoBio PowerLyzer (PL) kits. The lowest gDNA yields and 16S rRNA gene concentrations were from the Meta-G-Nome (MGN) DNA Isolation Kit. Bacterial phyla identified in all DNA extracts were similar to that found in other soils and were dominated by Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Gemmatimonadetes, Proteobacteria, and Acidobacteria. Weighted UniFrac and statistical analyses indicated that bacterial community compositions derived from FDS, PS, and PL extracts were similar to each other. However, the bacterial community structure from the MGN extracts differed from other kits exhibiting higher proportions of easily lysed - and -Proteobacteria and lower proportions of Actinobacteria and Methylocystaceae important in carbon cycling. These results indicate that gDNA yields differ between the extraction kits, but reproducible bacterial community structure analysis may be accomplished using gDNAs from the three bead-beating lysis extraction kits.

AB Concern is beginning to grow in the high-performance computing (HPC) community regarding the reliability of future large-scale systems. Disk-based coordinated checkpoint/restart has been the dominant fault tolerance mechanism in HPC systems for the past 30 years. Checkpoint performance is so fundamental to scalability that nearly all capability applications have custom checkpoint strategies to minimize state and reduce checkpoint time. One well-known optimization to traditional checkpoint/restart is incremental checkpointing, which has a number of known limitations. To address these limitations, we describe libhashckpt, a hybrid incremental checkpointing solution that uses both page protection and hashing on GPUs to determine changes in application data with very low overhead. Using real capability workloads and a model outlining the viability and application efficiency increase of this technique, we show that hash-based incremental checkpointing can have significantly lower overheads and increased efficiency than traditional coordinated checkpointing approaches at the scales expected for future extreme-class systems.

ID NONSYMMETRIC LINEAR-SYSTEMS
AB The co-design of architectures and algorithms has been postulated as a strategy for achieving Exascale computing in this decade. Exascale design space exploration is prohibitively expensive, at least partially due to the size and complexity of scientific applications of interest. Application codes can contain millions of lines and involve many libraries. Mini-applications, which attempt to capture some key performance issues, can potentially reduce the order of the exploration by a factor of a thousand. However, we need to carefully understand how representative mini-applications are of the full application code. This paper describes a methodology for this comparison and applies it to a particularly challenging mini-application. A multi-faceted methodology for design space exploration is also described that includes measurements on advanced architecture testbeds, experiments that use supercomputers and system software to emulate future hardware, and hardware/software co-simulation tools to predict the behavior of applications on hardware that does not yet exist.

AB As supercomputers scale to 1000 PFlop/s over the next decade, investigating the performance of parallel applications at scale on future architectures and the performance impact of different architecture choices for high-performance computing (HPC) hardware/software co-design is crucial. This paper summarizes recent efforts in designing and implementing a novel HPC hardware/software co-design toolkit. The presented Extreme-scale Simulator (xSim) permits running an HPC application in a controlled environment with millions of concurrent execution threads while observing its performance in a simulated extreme-scale HPC system using architectural models and virtual timing. This paper demonstrates the capabilities and usefulness of the xSim performance investigation toolkit, such as its scalability to 227 simulated Message Passing Interface (MPI) ranks on 960 real processor cores, the capability to evaluate the performance of different MPI collective communication algorithms, and the ability to evaluate the performance of a basic Monte Carlo application with different architectural parameters.

AB We present here a performance analysis of three of current architectures that have become commonplace in the High Performance Computing world. Blue Gene/Q is the third generation of systems from IBM that use modestly performing cores but at large-scale in order to achieve high performance. The XE6 is the latest in a long line of Cray systems that use a 3-D topology but the first to use its Gemini interconnection network. InfiniBand provides the flexibility of using compute nodes from many vendors that can be connected in many possible topologies. The performance characteristics of each vary vastly, and the way in which nodes are allocated in each type of system can significantly impact on achieved performance. In this work we compare these three systems using a combination of micro-benchmarks and a set of production applications. In addition we also examine the differences in performance variability observed on each system and quantify the lost performance using a combination of both empirical measurements and performance models. Our results show that significant performance can be lost in normal production operation of the Cray XE6 and InfiniBand Clusters in comparison to Blue Gene/Q. (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB Lignocellulosic biomass, a potentially important renewable organic source of energy and chemical feedstock, resists degradation to glucose in industrial hydrolysis processes and thus requires expensive thermochemical pretreatments. Understanding the mechanism of biomass breakdown during these pretreatments will lead to more efficient use of biomass. By combining multiple probes of structure, sensitive to different length scales, with molecular dynamics simulations, we reveal two fundamental processes responsible for the morphological changes in biomass during steam explosion pretreatment: cellulose dehydration and lignin-hemicellulose phase separation. We further show that the basic driving forces are the same in other leading thermochemical pretreatments, such as dilute acid pretreatment and ammonia fiber expansion.

AB A coordination effect was employed to realize equimolar CO2 absorption, adopting easily synthesized amino group containing absorbents (alkali metal onium salts). The essence of our strategy was to increase the steric hindrance of cations so as to enhance a carbamic acid pathway for CO2 capture. Our easily synthesized alkali metal amino acid salts or phenolates were coordinated with crown ethers, in which highly sterically hindered cations were obtained through a strong coordination effect of crown ethers with alkali metal cations. For example, a CO2 capacity of 0.99 was attained by potassium prolinate/18-crown-6, being characterized by NMR, FT-IR, and quantum chemistry calculations to go through a carbamic acid formation pathway. The captured CO2 can be stripped under very mild conditions (50 degrees C, N-2). Thus, this protocol offers an alternative for the development of technological innovation towards efficient and low energy processes for carbon capture and sequestration.

AB Screen-printed thick-film Ag metallization has become highly successful in crystalline Si (c-Si) photovoltaics. However, a complete understanding of the mechanism resulting in low resistance contact is still lacking. In order to shed light on this mechanism for current-generation Ag paste, Si solar cells were fabricated using a range of emitter doping densities and contact firing conditions. Low resistance contact was found to vary as a function of emitter surface P concentration ([P-surface]) and peak firing temperature. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis revealed thin interfacial glass films (IGF) under the bulk Ag gridline. SEM analysis also showed increasing Ag crystallite density as both emitter [P-surface] and peak firing temperature increased. Two mechanisms are proposed in forming low resistance contact to highly doped emitters: 1) formation of ultrathin IGF and/or nano-Ag colloids at low firing temperature, and 2) formation of Ag crystallites at high firing temperature. However, on lightly doped emitters, low resistance contact was achieved only at higher firing temperatures, concomitant with increasing Ag crystallite density, and suggests that thin IGF decorated with nano-Ag colloids may not be sufficient for low resistance contact to lightly doped emitters.

AB Light trapping in solar cells allows for increased current and voltage, as well as reduced materials cost. It is known that in geometrical optics, a maximum 4n(2) absorption enhancement factor can be achieved by randomly texturing the surface of the solar cell, where n is the material refractive index. This ray-optics absorption enhancement (AE) limit only holds when the thickness of the solar cell is much greater than the optical wavelength. In subwavelength thin films, the fundamental questions remain unanswered: 1) what is the subwavelength AE limit and 2) what surface texture realizes this optimal AE? We turn to computational electromagnetic optimization in order to design nanoscale textures for light trapping in subwavelength thin films. For high-index thin films, in the weakly absorbing limit, our optimized surface textures yield an angle-and frequency-averaged enhancement factor similar to 39. They perform roughly 30% better than randomly textured structures, but they fall short of the ray optics enhancement limit of 4n(2) similar to 50.

AB The three-junction 1.8/1.4/1.0-eV inverted metamorphic multijunction solar cell can be extended to four junctions by adding another lattice-mismatched GaInAs junction with a bandgap of 0.7 eV. However, this requires a significant amount of mismatch to GaAs substrates, i.e., 3.8%, which is difficult to obtain while maintaining high-quality material. In this paper, we perform an in-depth investigation of a GaInP compositionally graded buffer varying in composition between Ga0.5In0.5P and InP in order to identify limitations to dislocation glide and sources of excess dislocation formation. In situ wafer curvature, cathodoluminescence, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) are used to analyze dislocation glide; transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscope, and XRD are used to analyze material structural properties. Composition nonuniformities and roughness are observed, and a region in the compositionally graded buffer where a significant number of excess dislocations are formed is identified. The formation of these dislocations is related to atomic ordering, which has a large influence on the dislocation behavior. Adding thickness to the region in the buffer where dislocations are formed reduces the threading dislocation density an order of magnitude. Metamorphic 0.74 eV solar cells grown on this template have internal quantum efficiency > 90% and V-oc > 0.3 V with J(sc) set to 13 mA/cm(2), which is the expected current in a multijunction device. These results are compared with lattice-matched GaInAs/InP solar cells to evaluate the loss associated with the lattice-mismatch.

AB We present the results of systematic experimental studies on ZnTeO intermediate band solar cells (IBSCs) with a n-ZnO window layer. In order to understand photovoltaic (PV) activities of ZnTeO IBSCs, we first describe PV properties of ZnO/ZnTe solar cells without the intermediate band (IB). The improved efficiency of 1.38% is demonstrated by using a n(+) -ZnO/i-ZnO/i-ZnTe/p-ZnTe structure. Then, the PV properties of ZnTeO IBSCs fabricated using n-ZnO window layer with and without a blocking barrier for IB are compared. The device with a blocked IB shows higher open-circuit voltage than that without the blocking barrier. High external quantum efficiency (EQE) is observed in the photon energy range in which electron transitions from the valence band to the IB take place in ZnTeO IBSC without the blocking layer, whereas the device with the blocked IB shows a small EQE at the same energy range, implying the electron accumulation in IB. Finally, the production of photogenerated current by two-step photon excitation via IB is demonstrated.

TI Photovoltaic Investment Risk and Uncertainty for Residential Customers
SO IEEE JOURNAL OF PHOTOVOLTAICS
LA English
DT Article
DE Investment risk; rooftop photovoltaics; third-party ownership
AB The revenues generated by rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems have several sources of uncertainty. We use a Monte Carlo framework to explore the sensitivity of PV investment returns to three categories of PV investment uncertainty: 1) interannual solar variability, 2) PV technical performance and maintenance costs, and 3) market risks including future electricity rates and the possibility that retail electricity rates will be restructured for PV customers. We find that PV investment risk and uncertainty is driven by market factors in some U. S. regions (California and Massachusetts) and by the PV technical performance in other U. S. regions (Missouri and Florida). We explore the relative impacts of three methods for reducing PV investment uncertainty: research-and-development-driven performance improvements, system performance guarantees that are common for third-party owned systems, and long-term power purchase contracts. We find that the effectiveness of each risk reduction option varies by region, depending on which factors drive regional PV investment uncertainty.

AB Effective evaluation and prediction of photovoltaic performance loss due to soiling require consistent test methods. Natural soil accumulation is time-consuming and location specific, and thus does not provide reproducible results across different geographic regions. Therefore, we have demonstrated a laboratory technique to artificially apply soil to a specimen and quantify the resulting effects of the film on the transmission of incident light. An artificial soil analogue was formulated with NIST-traceable components and applied to the specimen using an aerosol spray gun. This approach produced consistent soil coatings, which were directly correlated to electrical performance loss of multicrystalline Si cells in a laboratory setting. Two independent measurement techniques were used to quantify the influence of the layer of artificial soil on the spectral transmission of light. It was found that the performance loss due to deposited soil could be effectively predicted over a range of mass loadings. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the composition of the blend, termed "standard grime," had a significant and repeatable influence on performance loss. The methods presented here provide the basis for further study of the influence of specific soil types on the performance loss of PV systems. It is envisioned that these laboratory studies could be coupled with field studies to better understand these effects.

By using an apertured near-field scanning optical microscope in an illumination mode, we determined the local photocurrent that is generated within the GIs and at the GBs with nanoscale resolution and correlate the results with surface morphology and composition.

AB This paper addresses an issue of long-term performance that has seen relatively little attention in the industry, yet we will show that it can be of vital importance, not only for obvious financial reasons but, technically, because of its linkage to field failure as well. We will discuss how different data filtering on one particular system can lead to a variety of different degradation rates compared with indoor measurements and how it may change the field failure interpretation for a single module. A method based on the variation of the uncertainty in the determined degradation rates is proposed to aid the data filtering process when no baseline measurements exist. Finally, based on this experience, we propose a set of guidelines as a basis for a standardized approach to long-term performance assessment.

AB A set of neighboring multicrystalline silicon wafers has been processed through different steps of solar cell manufacturing and then images were collected for characterization. The imaging techniques include band-to-band photoluminescence (PL), defect-band or subbandgap PL (subPL), and dark lock-in thermography (DLIT). Defect regions can be tracked from as-cut wafers throughout processing to the finished cells. The finished cell's defect regions detected by band-to-band PL imaging correlate well to diffusion length and quantum efficiency maps. The most detrimental defect regions, type A, also correlate well to reversebias breakdown areas as shown in DLIT images. These type A defect regions appear dark in band-to-band PL images, and have subPL emissions. The subPL of type A defects shows strong correlations to poor cell performance and high reverse breakdown at the starting wafer steps (as-cut and textured), but the subPL becomes relatively weak after antireflection coating (ARC) and on the finished cell. Type B defects are regions that have lower defect density but still show detrimental cell performance. After ARC, type B defects emit more intense subPL than type A regions; consequently, type B subPL also shows better correlation to cell performance at the starting wafer steps rather than at the ARC process step and in the finished cell.

AB A control scheme is proposed for an islanded lowinertia three-phase inverter-based microgrid with a high penetration of photovoltaic (PV) generation resources. The output of each inverter is programmed to emulate the dynamics of a nonlinear oscillator. The virtual oscillators within each controller are implicitly coupled through the physical electrical network. The asymptotic synchronization of the oscillators can be guaranteed by design, and as a result, a stable power system emerges innately with no communication between the inverters. Time-domain switching-level simulation results for a 45-kW microgrid with 33% PV penetration demonstrate the merits of the proposed technique; in particular they show that the load voltage can be maintained between prescribed bounds in spite of variations in incident irradiance and step changes in the load.
