The goal is to map to the angular and spectral resolution of FAST a large swath of the sky by simple drift scans with a transverse set of beams. This approach would be complementary to galaxy surveys and could be completed before the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) could begin a more detailed and precise effort. The science would be to measure the large-scale structure on the size of the baryon acoustic oscillations and larger scale, and the results would be complementary to its contemporary observations and significant. The survey would be uniquely sensitive to the potential very large-scale features from inflation at the Grand Unified Theory (GUT) scale and complementary to observations of the cosmic microwave background.

The four emerging pathways of interest are compared with one conventional pathway (Fischer-Tropsch) for the production of the hydrocarbon blendstocks. The processing steps of the four emerging pathways include biomass-to-syngas via indirect gasification, syngas clean-up, conversion of syngas to alcohols/oxygenates followed by conversion of alcohols/oxygenates to hydrocarbon blendstocks via dehydration, oligomerization, and hydrogenation. Conversion of biomass-derived syngas to oxygenated intermediates occurs via three different pathways, producing: (i) mixed alcohols over a MoS2 catalyst, (ii) mixed oxygenates (a mixture of C2+ oxygenated compounds, predominantly ethanol, acetic acid, acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate) using an Rh-based catalyst, and (iii) ethanol from syngas fermentation. This is followed by the conversion of oxygenates/alcohols to fuel-range olefins in two approaches: (i) mixed alcohols/ethanol to 1-butanol rich mixture via Guerbet reaction, followed by alcohol dehydration, oligomerization, and hydrogenation, and (ii) mixed oxygenates/ethanol to isobutene rich mixture and followed by oligomerization and hydrogenation. The design features a processing capacity of 2000 tonnes/day (2205 short tons) of dry biomass. The minimum fuel selling prices (MFSPs) for the four developing pathways range from $3.40 to $5.04 per gasoline-gallon equivalent (GGE), in 2011 US dollars. Sensitivity studies show that MFSPs can be improved with co-product credits and are comparable to the commercial Fischer-Tropsch benchmark ($3.58/GGE). Overall, this comparative TEA study documents potential economics for the developmental biofuel pathways via mixed oxygenates.

Two alternative biomass availability scenarios in 2030, defined as the (i) Business-as-usual (598 million dry tons) and (ii) Billion Ton (1042 million dry tons), establish a range of possible outcomes for the future bioeconomy. The biomass utilized in the current (2014) (365 million dry tons) economy is estimated to displace approximately 2.4% of fossil energy consumption and avoid 116 million tons of CO2-equivalent (CO(2)e) emissions, whereas the Billion Ton bioeconomy of 2030 could displace 9.5% of fossil energy consumption and avoid as much as 446 million tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually. Developing the integrated systems, supply chains, and infrastructure to efficiently grow, harvest, transport, and convert large quantities of biomass in a sustainable way could support the transition to a low-carbon economy. Bio-based activities in the current (2014) economy are estimated to have directly generated more than $48 billion in revenue and 285 000 jobs. Our estimates show that developing biomass resources and addressing current limitations to achieve a Billion Ton bioeconomy could expand direct bioeconomy revenue by a factor of 5 to contribute nearly $259 billion and 1.1 million jobs to the US economy by 2030.

These resources are essential to mobilize large quantities of corn stover from corn fields to biorefineries. The logistical resources are estimated over the lifetime of the biorefineries. Seventeen corn-growing states are considered for the logistical resource assessment. Over 6.8 billion gallons of cellulosic ethanol can be produced annually from 108 million dry tons of corn stover in these states. The maximum number of required field equipment (i.e., choppers, balers, collectors, loaders, and tractors) is estimated to be 194 110 units with a total economic value of about $26 billion. In addition, 40 780 trucks and flatbed trailers would be required to transport bales from corn fields and storage sites to biorefineries with a total economic value of $4.0 billion. About 88 899 corn growers need to be contracted with an annual net income of over $2.1 billion. About 1903 storage sites would be required to hold 53.1 million dry tons of inventory after the harvest season. These storage sites would take up about 35 320.2 acres and 4077 loaders with an economic value of $0.4 billion would handle this inventory. The total required workforce to run the logistics operations is estimated to be 50 567. The magnitude of the estimated logistical resources demonstrates the economic and social significance of the corn stover bioeconomy in rural areas in the USA.

The antineutrinos were generated by six 2.9 GW(th) nuclear reactors and detected by eight antineutrino detectors deployed in two near (560 m and 600 m flux-weighted baselines) and one far (1640 m flux-weighted baseline) underground experimental halls. With 621 days of data, more than 1.2 million inverse beta decay (IBD) candidates were detected. The IBD yield in the eight detectors was measured, and the ratio of measured to predicted flux was found to be 0.946 +/- 0.020 (0.992 +/- 0.021) for the Huber+Mueller (ILL+Vogel) model. A 2.9 sigma deviation was found in the measured IBD positron energy spectrum compared to the predictions. In particular, an excess of events in the region of 4-6 MeV was found in the measured spectrum, with a local significance of 4.4 sigma. A reactor antineutrino spectrum weighted by the IBD cross section is extracted for model-independent predictions. C1 [An, F.

The following work involves the use of deterministic pillar arrays on the micro-scale as a platform to separate compounds, and the use of Ag colloid within the arrays as a source of increased signal via surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). One problem traditionally seen with SERS surfaces containing Ag colloid is oxidation; however, our platforms are superhydrophobic, reducing the amount of oxidation taking place on the surface of the Ag colloid. This work includes the successful separation and SERS detection of a fluorescent dye compounds (resorufin and sulforhodamine 640), fluorescent anti-tumor drugs (Adriamycin and Daunomycin), and purine and pyrimidine bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine, hypoxanthine, and thymine).

Nevertheless, such a reaction system leads to the stabilization of both the fluoride and hydroxide-substituting oxide in the anatase network. The presence of both anions is compensated by the stabilization of titanium vacancies. In this work, we demonstrate that the synthesis temperature not only impacts the morphology of the as prepared nanoparticles but also their chemical composition/structural features. Depending on the reaction temperature, two main crystal growth mechanisms that are anisotropic and/or driven by oriented attachment were observed. The morphological changes are associated with a variation of the composition. Particularly, high temperature allows to eliminate most of the OH groups through oxolation reactions, but fluorine is thermally more stable as demonstrated by H-1 and F-19 solid-state NMR spectroscopy. This work confirms that the abovementioned reaction system does not lead to pure titanium dioxide, which is an important aspect in linking composition/morphological features to the physico-chemical properties.

One-cycle ALD experiments using diethylzinc (DEZ) afforded Zn/SiO2 systems that provided key insights into the reactivity and stability of Zn sites as a function of dispersion at the submonolayer level. The I-ALD-CAT tool design allowed for systematic comparison of the reactivity of different grafted zinc sites. Open-shell 16-lectron, tricoordinate ethyl zinc-silica sites exhibit higher activity in propane hydrogenation dehydrogenation compared to 18-electron, tetracoordinate zinc oxide-type centers. Silica surface saturation with Zn(II) sites (similar to 75% of a monolayer) results in facile zinc agglomeration and catalyst deactivation under reaction conditions. Reduced DEZ dosing coupled with thermal substrate pretreatment techniques (e.g., dehydration under vacuum) resulted in increased Zn dispersion and produced Zn/SiO2 catalysts with improved activity and stability under propylene hydrogenation (200 degrees C) and propane dehydrogenation (550 degrees C) conditions.

TI Homogenizing Advanced Alloys: Thermodynamic and Kinetic Simulations Followed by Experimental Results SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS ENGINEERING AND PERFORMANCE LA English DT Article DE creep and stress rupture; heat treatment; homogenization; mechanical; modeling and simulation; stainless; steel; superalloys AB Segregation of solute elements occurs in nearly all metal alloys during solidification. The resultant elemental partitioning can severely degrade as-cast material properties and lead to difficulties during post-processing (e.g., hot shorts and incipient melting). Many cast articles are subjected to a homogenization heat treatment in order to minimize segregation and improve their performance. Traditionally, homogenization heat treatments are based upon past practice or time-consuming trial and error experiments. Through the use of thermodynamic and kinetic modeling software, NETL has designed a systematic method to optimize homogenization heat treatments. Use of the method allows engineers and researchers to homogenize casting chemistries to levels appropriate for a given application. The method also allows for the adjustment of heat treatment schedules to fit limitations on in-house equipment (capability, reliability, etc.) while maintaining clear numeric targets for segregation reduction. In this approach, the Scheil module within Thermo-Calc is used to predict the as-cast segregation present within an alloy, and then diffusion controlled transformations is used to model homogenization kinetics as a function of time and temperature. Examples of computationally designed heat treatments and verification of their effects on segregation and properties of real castings are presented.

The enthalpies of formation of K4Nb6O17 and K(4)Nb(6)O(17)3H(2)O from oxides are (-864.42 +/- 10.63) and (-899.32 +/- 11.48) kJ/mol, respectively. The formation enthalpy of K4Nb6O17 from elements is (-7289.64 +/- 12.50) kJ/mol, and of K(4)Nb(6)O(17)3H(2)O is (-8181.94 +/- 13.24) kJ/mol. The enthalpy of dehydration (H-dehy) for the reaction K(4)Nb(6)O(17)3H(2)O (xl, 25 degrees C) = K4Nb6O17 (xl, 25 degrees C) + 3H(2)O (l, 25 degrees C) is endothermic and is 34.60 +/- 7.56 kJ/mol. The H-dehy per mole of water, 11.53 +/- 2.52 kJ/mol, indicates the water molecules in K(4)Nb(6)O(17)3H(2)O are not just physically adsorbed, but loosely bonded in the K4Nb6O17 phase, presumably in specific interlayer sites. The loss of this water near 100 degrees C on heating is consistent with the weak bonding of water.

A transparency peak is enabled through the coupling between the asymmetric slot-structure elements when their symmetry is broken. The width of transparency window can be controlled by varying the asymmetry degree. Moreover, by varying the Fermi energy of graphene, the transmission peak can be dynamically tuned, realizing a blue-shift without re-optimizing or re-fabricating the nanostructure. Therefore, the work opens up opportunities for the development of tunable compact elements such as slow light devices, sensors and switches.

In this work, in situ high-energy X-ray diffraction was deployed to investigate the phase evolution during the solid-state synthesis of Li[Li0.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13]O-2. A step-wise consumption of the starting materials was observed during the one-step heating process primarily due to the heterogeneous nature of the precursor. According to observations from in situ high-energy X-ray diffraction, a two-step process was adopted to minimize the elemental heterogeneity of the final product. The electrochemical characterization results showed a substantial improvement on the reversible specific capacity for the material synthesized through the two-step process.

However, a large amount of Pt is required for catalyzing the kinetically sluggish ORR at the air cathode, therefore greatly limiting their large scale implementation. Development of high-performance platinum group-metal (PGM)-free ORR catalysts has been a long-term goal for these clean energy technologies. However, current PGM-free catalysts are still significantly suffering from insufficient activity and limited durability especially in more challenging acidic media, such as proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), constructed from bridging metal ions and ligands, have emerged as a new type of attractive precursors for the synthesis of PGM-free catalysts, which has led to encouraging performance improvement. Compared to other catalyst precursors, MOF5 have well-defined crystal structure with readily tunable chemistry and contain all required elements (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, and metal). Here, we provide an account of recent innovative PGM-free catalyst design and synthesis derived from the unique MOF precursors with special emphasis on engineering nanostructure and morphology of catalysts. We aim to provide new insights into the design and synthesis of advanced PGM-free catalysts with increased density of active sites and controlled bonding in 3D frame network. In addition, we also discuss the possibility to use the well-defined MOF precursors for building up model systems to elucidate the structure-property correlations and the nature of active sites.

The GO was synthesized from a modified Hummers method. The exfoliation occurred swiftly once the RF power and gas pressure reached a level that enabled sufficient energy transfer from the plasma to the GO. Xray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed that graphene or carbon nanosheets were successfully prepared. The plasma exfoliation mechanism was revealed based on the microstructure characterization and optical emission spectroscopy, which indicated that oxygen was released at the moment of exfoliation. Inspired by the success of GO exfoliation, N-doping was realized by treating polypyrrole-modified GO with plasmas. The N concentration in the resulted graphene depended strongly on the plasma gas. Of the gases studied, CH4 treated polypyrrole-modified GO (GO-PPY-CH4) contained considerable concentration of N that was beneficial to electrical double layer capacitors (EDLCs). Supercapacitors made of the N-doped graphene exhibited promising capacitive characteristics. Electrochemical measurements showed that the GO-PPY-CH4 presented an initial specific capacitance of similar to 312 F g(-1) under 0.1 A g(-1) charge/discharge current and similar to 100% retention after 1000 consecutive cycles under currents ranging from 0.1 to 10.0 A g(-1) in 6 mol L-1 KOH electrolyte. This study demonstrated that the plasma exfoliation was an efficient approach to fabricating graphene and N-doped graphene that had promising potential to be high-performance electrode materials for EDLCs.

Historically, the final steps of peptidoglycan synthesis are known to be carried out by D,D-transpeptidases, enzymes that are inhibited by the beta-lactams, which constitute >50% of all antibacterials in clinical use. Here, we show that the carbapenem subclass of beta-lactams are distinctly effective not only because they inhibit D,D-transpeptidases and are poor substrates for beta-lactamases, but primarily because they also inhibit non-classical transpeptidases, namely the L,D-transpeptidases, which generate the majority of linkages in the peptidoglycan of mycobacteria. We have characterized the molecular mechanisms responsible for inhibition of L,D-transpeptidases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and a range of bacteria including ESKAPE pathogens, and used this information to design, synthesize and test simplified carbapenems with potent antibacterial activity.

Severing these necks involves action from the opposite face of the membrane as occurs during the well-characterized formation of coated vesicles. This 'reverse' (or Inverse')-topology membrane scission is carried out by the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) proteins, which form filaments, flat spirals, tubes and conical funnels that are thought to direct membrane remodelling and scission. Their assembly, and their disassembly by the ATPase vacuolar protein sorting-associated 4 (VPS4) have been intensively studied, but the mechanism of scission has been elusive. New insights from cryo-electron microscopy and various types of spectroscopy may finally be close to rectifying this situation.

The advanced modelling and consistent calculation scheme are aimed at improving our knowledge of the neutron scattering and emission cross sections, and to assess the consistency of available evaluated libraries for light uranium isotopes. The reaction model considers a dispersive optical potential (RIPL 2408) that couples from five (even targets) to nine (odd targets) levels of the ground state rotational band, and a triple-humped fission barrier with absorption in the wells described within the optical model for fission. A modified Lorentzian model (MLO) of the radiative strength function and Enhanced Generalized Superfluid Model nuclear level densities are used in Hauser-Feschbach calculations of the compound-nuclear decay that include width fluctuation corrections. The starting values for the model parameters are retrieved from RIPL. Excellent agreement with available experimental data for neutron emission and fission is achieved, giving confidence that the quantities for which there is no experimental information are also accurately predicted. Deficiencies in existing evaluated libraries are highlighted. C1 [Sin, M.] Univ Bucharest, Fac Phys, Bucharest, Romania. [Capote, R.; Trkov, A.] IAEA, NAPC Nucl Data Sect, A-1400 Vienna, Austria.

Fundamental data of this nature are important for improving and validating the current models of the nuclear fission process. Cyclic neutron activation analysis (CNAA) was performed on three actinide targets thorium-oxide, depleted uranium metal, and highly enriched uranium metal at the University of Michigan's Neutron Science Laboratory (UM-NSL) using a pneumatic system and Thermo-Scientific D711 accelerator-based fusion neutron generator. This was done to measure the fission yields of short-lived fission products and to examine the differences between the delayed fission product signatures of the three actinides. The measured data were compared against previously published results for Kr-89, -90, and -92 and Xe-138, -139, and -140. The average percent deviation of the measured values from the Evaluated Nuclear Data Files VII.1 (ENDF/B-VII.1) for thorium, depleted-uranium, and highly-enriched uranium were -10.2%, 4.5%, and -12.9%, respectively. In addition to the measurements of the six known fission products, 23 new fission yield measurements from As-84 to La-146 are presented. C1 [Pierson, B. D.; Pozzi, S.

This synthesis route possesses many advantages as it is a fast and facile preparation method of the desired phosphate nanomaterials without the necessity for post-reaction heat treatment to obtain the anhydrous high temperature monazite phosphate phase. The nano-sized phosphors Nd3+:LaPO4 were carefully analyzed by the powder X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and spectroscopic techniques taking advantage of the Nd3+ spectroscopic probe to analyze in detail the structural properties. Applied high resolution low temperature absorption and emission techniques allowed to complete the structural information unavailable from the XRD powder patterns. A clear influence of the used task-specific dihydrogen phosphate ILs on the structure, morphology, luminescence intensity and lifetimes of the obtained Nd3+:LaPO4 was found. It is worth noting that the Nd3+ luminescence in LaPO4 has never been reported up to now. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Magma intrusion near Volcan Tancitaro: Evidence from seismic analysis SO PHYSICS OF THE EARTH AND PLANETARY INTERIORS LA English DT Article DE Volcanic seismicity; Magmatic intrusion; Michoacan monogenetic volcanic field; Seismic swarm ID EARTHQUAKE SWARMS; CENTRAL MEXICO; MICHOACAN; TECTONICS; FIELD; RIDGE AB Between May and June 2006, an earthquake swarm occurred near Volcan Tancitaro in Mexico, which was recorded by a temporary seismic deployment known as the MARS network. We located 1000 events from this seismic swarm. Previous earthquake swarms in the area were reported in the years 1997, 1999 and 2000. We relocate and analyze the evolution and properties of the 2006 earthquake swarm, employing a waveform cross-correlation-based phase repicking technique. Hypocenters from 911 events were located and divided into eighteen families having a correlation coefficient at or above 0.75. 90% of the earthquakes provide at least sixteen phase picks. We used the single-event location code Hypo71 and the P-wave velocity model used by the Jalisco Seismic and Accelerometer Network to improve hypocenters based on the correlation-adjusted phase arrival times. We relocated 121 earthquakes, which show clearly two clusters, between 9-10 km and 3-4 km depth respectively. The average location error estimates are <1 km epicentrally, and <2 km in depth, for the largest event in each cluster. Depths of seismicity migrate upward from 16 to 3.5 km and exhibit a NE-SW trend. The swarm first migrated toward Paricutin Volcano but by mid June began propagating back toward Volcan Tancitaro. In addition to its persistence, noteworthy aspects of this swarm include a quasi-exponential increase in the rate of activity within the first 15 days; a b-value of 1.47; a jug-shaped hypocenter distribution; a shoaling rate of similar to 5 km/month within the deeper cluster, and a composite focal mechanism solution indicating largely reverse faulting. These features of the swarm suggest a magmatic source elevating the crustal strain beneath Volcan Tancitaro. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In previous work, experiments and a model were developed to capture the deformation behaviour of the cylinder after impact. These works showed a region in which spatial and temporal variation of both longitudinal and radial deformation provided evidence of changes in phase within the material. In this further series of experiments, this region is imaged in a range of impacted targets at the Diamond synchrotron. Further techniques were fielded to resolve compressed regions within the recovered polymer cylinders that showed a fracture zone in the impact region. The combination of macroscopic high-speed photography and three-dimensional X-ray imaging has identified the development of failure with these polymers and shown that there is no abrupt transition in behaviours but rather a continuous range of responses to competing operating mechanisms. The behaviours noted in PEEK in these polymers show critical gaps in understanding of polymer high strain-rate response. C1 [Bourne, N. K.; Garcea, S. C.; Eastwood, D. S.; Parry, S.; Withers, P.

Such ternary composites are facilely fabricated by skillful construction of Ru, Fe-containing zinc-trimesic acid metal organic framework fibers before one-step pyrolysis. The resulting RuFe@ Fe2O3 particles (20-33 nm) are evenly dispersed and firmly embedded into mesoporous carbon nanofibers formed simultaneously. In-depth characterization reveals that the RuFe@ Fe2O3 particles are mainly Ru(+ 3) substituted a-Fe2O3, present on the periphery of Ru-Fe alloys. Particle size, as well as composite porosity and conductivity are readily tailored by controlling the feed ratio of RuCl3 to FeCl3. The elaborately fabricated RuFe@ Fe2O3/ mCNF-25% (25 at% Ru in total metals) delivers a large specific capacitance of 285 F g(-1) at the scan rate of 1 mV s(-1) and a high energy density up to 47.6 W h kg(-1) at the current density of 0.25 A g(-1). It also shows good rate capability and outstanding cycling stability up to 5000 times (only 4.7% loss). Such a electrode has great potential for practical applications in electrochemical capacitors.

The present work describes a facile technique for the synthesis of a high-performing sulfonated multi-walled carbon nanotube (S-MWCNTs) solid acid catalyst for fatty acid ethyl ester (biodiesel) production. The results indicated that S-MWCNTs possessed high acidity due to their polycyclic textural matrix. An overall conversion of 97.8% is achieved for triglycerides at 1 h, 150 degrees C using 3.7 wt% of catalyst in ethanol, outperforming its counterpart catalysts, such as hydrothermal carbonization synthesized sulfonated carbon and metal oxide catalyst WO3/ZrO2. This superior performance is a result of the high acidity that S-MWCNTs possess, stemming from their polycyclic textural matrix. The catalyst was fully characterized by BET, FT-IR, XPS and TEM measurements to understand and evaluate their physical and structural properties. Combining activity and characterization data enables the postulation of the following reaction mechanisms for triglyceride transesterification based on S-MWCNTs: SO3H groups first absorb triglycerides and ethanol through the interaction between the acid sites and the atomic oxygen. The carbonyl carbon was then attacked by the nucleophilic ethanol to produce fatty acidethyl ester (CH3CH2COOR), the final product. Findings from this work provide useful insights on designing effective solid acid catalysts via facile synthesis and regeneration protocol for the transesterification of triglyceride to produce biodiesels.

Here we present a hybrid design of silicon-carbon nanostructures with silicon clusters coated by carbon cages, i.e., Si-m@C(2)n for potential solar cell application. The optical properties of these hybrid nanostructures were calculated based on time dependent density function theory (TDDFT). The results show that the optical spectra of Si-m@C(2)n are very different from those of pure Sim and C-2n clusters. While the absorption spectra of pure carbon cages and Sim clusters exhibit peaks in the UV region, those of the Si-m@C(2)n nanostructures exhibit a significant red shift. Superposition of the optical spectra of various Si-m@C(2)n nanostructures forms a broad-band absorption, which extends to the visible light and infrared regions. The broadband adsorption of the assembled Si-m@C(2)n nanoclusters may provide a new approach for the design of high efficiency solar cell nanomaterials.

TI Acoustic Characterization of Fluorinert FC-43 Liquid with Helium Gas Bubbles: Numerical Experiments SO SHOCK AND VIBRATION LA English DT Article ID PARAMETER; FLUIDS; WAVES; B/A; NONLINEARITY; SIMULATION AB In this work, we define the acoustic characteristics of a biphasic fluid consisting of static helium gas bubbles in liquid Fluorinert FC-43 and study the propagation of ultrasound of finite amplitudes in this medium. Very low sound speed and high sound attenuation are found, in addition to a particularly high acoustic nonlinear parameter. This result suggests the possibility of using this medium as a nonlinear enhancer in various applications. In particular, parametric generation of low ultrasonic frequencies is studied in a resonator cavity as a function of driving pressure showing high conversion efficiency. This work suggests that this medium could be used for applications such as parametric arrays, nondestructive testing, diagnostic medicine, sonochemistry, underwater acoustics, and ultrasonic imaging and to boost the shock formation in fluids.

Due to its properties it can be incorporated in to various devices, among the greatest highlights are photovoltaic cells, as well as its potential use as photocathodes for hydrogen production, via the photo electrolysis. There are several methods of its preparation, most notably electrodeposition that has the potential for large areas and high volumes. Electrodeposition of ternary and/or quaternary semiconductors generally proceeds via the formation of a binary, which is subsequently reacted to form the ternary compound. Several conditions must be controlled to form binary compounds that include the use of complexing agents, buffers, temperature, etc. In this paper, we discuss the effect of anion composition in the electrolytic bath and the type of lithium salts, in order to manipulate the atomic concentration of CuGaSe2 during the electrodeposition of thin films, yielding copper-rich, gallium-rich or stoichiometric thin films. We also present the results of a study on the morphology and structure obtained using two types of substrates both before and after performing a heat treatment. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

They are currently represented by at least seven serotypes and more than 40 subtypes. New clostridial strains that produce novel neurotoxin variants are being identified with increasing frequency, which presents challenges when organizing the nomenclature surrounding these neurotoxins. Worldwide, researchers are faced with the possibility that toxins having identical sequences may be given different designations or novel toxins having unique sequences may be given the same designations on publication. In order to minimize these problems, an ad hoc committee consisting of over 20 researchers in the field of botulinum neurotoxin research was convened to discuss the clarification of the issues involved in botulinum neurotoxin nomenclature. This publication presents a historical overview of the issues and provides guidelines for botulinum neurotoxin subtype nomenclature in the future.

TI Microdistribution of lead in human teeth using microbeam synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (mu-SRXRF) SO X-RAY SPECTROMETRY LA English DT Article ID PLASMA-MASS SPECTROMETRY; SPATIAL-DISTRIBUTION; CUMULATIVE LEAD; BLOOD LEAD; EXPOSURE; ENAMEL; DENTIN; BONE; ZN; PB AB Lead (Pb) exposure is known to be associated with adverse effects on human health, especially during the prenatal period and early childhood. The Pb content in teeth has been suggested as a useful biomarker for the evaluation of cumulative Pb exposure. This study was designed to employ the microbeam synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence technique to determine the microdistribution of Pb within the tooth to evaluate the reliability of the technique and the effectiveness of tooth Pb as a biomarker of Pb exposure. The results showed that in the incisor sample, Pb primarily deposited in secondary dentine region close to the pulp and secondarily at enamel exterior. In addition, Pb colocalised with Zn, indicating a positive correlation between Pb and Zn. By contrast, in the two molar samples, Pb accumulated principally in the pulp, and secondarily in the enamel. At the same time, Pb in these two molar samples colocalised with Ca instead of Zn as was observed in the incisor sample. Several batches of line scans further confirmed the conclusions. The feasibility of using microbeam synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence to determine the microdistribution of Pb in teeth and of using the tooth Pb, especially in dentine, as a biomarker was discussed.

TI Epitaxy: Programmable Atom Equivalents Versus Atoms SO ACS NANO LA English DT Article DE DNA; epitaxy; nanoparticles; self-assembly; thin film ID DNA-NANOPARTICLE SUPERLATTICES; OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; THIN-FILMS; GROWTH; CRYSTALLIZATION; ARRAYS; BOND AB The programmability of DNA makes it an attractive structure-directing ligand for the assembly of nanoparticle (NP) superlattices in a manner that mimics many aspects of atomic crystallization. However, the synthesis of multilayer single crystals of defined size remains a challenge. Though previous studies considered lattice mismatch as the major limiting factor for multilayer assembly, thin film growth depends on many interlinked variables. Here, a more comprehensive approach is taken to study fundamental elements, such as the growth temperature and the thermodynamics of interfacial energetics, to achieve epitaxial growth of NP thin films. Both surface morphology and internal thin film structure are examined to provide an understanding of particle attachment and reorganization during growth. Under equilibrium conditions, single crystalline, multilayer thin films can be synthesized over 500 X 500 mu m(2) areas on lithographically patterned templates, whereas deposition under kinetic conditions leads to the rapid growth of glassy films. Importantly, these superlattices follow the same patterns of crystal growth demonstrated in atomic thin film deposition, allowing these processes to be understood in the context of well-studied atomic epitaxy and enabling a nanoscale model to study fundamental crystallization processes. Through understanding the role of epitaxy as a driving force for NP assembly, we are able to realize 3D architectures of arbitrary domain geometry and size.

Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have recently shown a very promising catalytic performance for CO2 reduction reaction in an ionic liquid electrolyte. Here, we report that the catalytic performance of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), a member of TMDCs, can be significantly improved by using an appropriate dopant. Our electrochemical results indicate that 5% niobium (Nb)-doped vertically aligned MoS2 in ionic liquid exhibits 1 order of magnitude higher CO formation turnover frequency (TOF) than pristine MoS2 at an overpotential range of 50-150 mV. The TOF of this catalyst is also 2 orders of magnitude higher than that of Ag nanoparticles over the entire range of studied overpotentials (100-650 mV). Moreover, the in situ differential electrochemical mass spectrometry experiment shows the onset overpotential of 31 mV for this catalyst, which is the lowest onset potential for CO2 reduction reaction reported so far. Our density functional theory calculations reveal that low concentrations of Nb near the Mo edge atoms can enhance the TOF of CO formation by modifying the binding energies of intermediates to MoS2 edge atoms.

TI Rational Design of Hyperbranched Nanowire Systems for Tunable Superomniphobic Surfaces Enabled by Atomic Layer Deposition SO ACS NANO LA English DT Article DE hierarchical; nanowire; atomic layer deposition; materials by design; superomniphobic; superhydrophobic ID CONTACT-ANGLE HYSTERESIS; SEMICONDUCTOR NANOWIRES; SUPEROLEOPHOBIC SURFACES; ROUGH SURFACES; ZNO NANOWIRES; WATER; GROWTH; HETEROSTRUCTURES; WETTABILITY; HIERARCHY AB Superomniphobic surfaces display contact angles of theta* > 150 degrees and low contact angle hysteresis with virtually all high and low surface tension liquids. The introduction of hierarchical scales of texture can increase the contact angles and decrease the contact angle hysteresis of superomniphobic surfaces by reducing the solid liquid contact area. Thus far, it has not been possible to fabricate superomniphobic surfaces with three or more hierarchical scales of texture where the size, spacing, and angular orientation of features within each scale of texture can be independently varied and controlled. Here, we report a method for tunable control of geometry in hyperbranched ZnO nanowire (NW) structures, which in turn enables the rational design and fabrication of superomniphobic surfaces. Branched NWs with tunable density and orientation were grown via a sequential hydrothermal process, in which atomic layer deposition was used for NW seeding, disruption of epitaxy, and selective blocking of NW nucleation. This approach allows for the rational design and optimization of three level hierarchical structures, in which the geometric parameters of each level of hierarchy can be individually controlled. We demonstrate the coupled relationships between geometry and contact angles for a variety of liquids, which is supported by mathematical models. The highest performing superomniphobic surface was designed with three levels of hierarchy and achieved the following advancing/receding contact angles with water 172 degrees/170 degrees, hexadecane 166 degrees/156 degrees, octane 162 degrees/145 degrees, and heptane 160 degrees/130 degrees.

The initial stages of colony formation and intercellular communication are particularly important to understand and depend highly on the spatial organization of cells. Controlling the distribution and growth of bacterial cells at the nanoscale is, therefore, of great interest in understanding the mechanisms of cell cell communication at the initial stages of colony formation. Staphyloccocus aureus, a ubiquitous human pathogen, is of specific clinical importance due to the rise of antibiotic resistant strains of this species, which can cause life-threatening infections. Although several methods have attempted to pattern bacterial cells onto solid surfaces at single cell resolution, no study has truly controlled the 3D architectures of growing colonies. Herein, we present a simple, low-cost method to pattern S. aureus bacterial colonies and control the architecture of their growth. Using, the wetting properties of micropatterened poly(dimethyl siloxane) platforms, with help from the physiological activities of the S. aureus cells, we fabricated connected networks of bacterial microcolonies of various sizes. Unlike conventional heterogeneous growth of biofilms on surfaces, the patterned S. aureus microcolonies in this work grow radially from nanostrings of a few bacterial cells, to form micrometer-thick rods when provided with a nutrient rich environment. This simple, efficient, and low-cost method can be used as a platform for studies of cell cell communication phenomena, such as quorum sensing, horizontal gene transfer, and metabolic cross-feeding especially during initial stages of colony formation.

Plasmonic nanostructures and phase change materials have been extensively studied to this end due to their respective strong interactions with light and tunable dielectric constants under external stimuli. Seamlessly integrating plasmonic components with phase change materials, as demonstrated in the present work, can facilitate phase change by plasmonically enabled light confinement and meanwhile make use of the high sensitivity of plasmon resonances to the variation of dielectric constant associated with the phase change. The hybrid platform here is composed of plasmonic indium tin-oxide nanorod arrays (ITO-NRAs) conformally coated with an ultrathin layer of a prototypical phase change material, vanadium dioxide (VO2), which enables all-optical modulation of the infrared as well as the visible spectral ranges. The interplay between the intrinsic plasmonic nonlinearity of ITO-NRAs and the phase transition induced permittivity change of VO2 gives rise to spectral and temporal responses that cannot be achieved with individual material components alone.

However, expanding the limits in property enhancement remains a fundamental scientific challenge. Here, we demonstrate that well-dispersed, small (diameter similar to 1.8 nm) nanoparticles with attractive interactions lead to unexpectedly large and qualitatively different changes in PNC structural dynamics in comparison to conventional nanocomposites based on particles of diameters similar to 10-50 nm. At the same time, the zero-shear viscosity at high temperatures remains comparable to that of the neat polymer, thereby retaining good processability and resolving a major challenge in PNC applications. Our results suggest that the nanoparticle mobility and relatively short lifetimes of nanopartide-polymer associations open qualitatively different horizons in the tunability of macroscopic properties in nanocomposites with a high potential for the development of advanced functional materials.

However, fabricating such 3D nanostructures at ambient conditions still remains a challenge. Here, we demonstrate an easily scalable facile method to fabricate 3D nanostructures made up of entirely zero-dimensional silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles. By combining functional groups and vacuum filtration, we fabricate lightweight and highly structural stable 3D SiO2 materials. Further synergistic effect of material is shown by addition of a 2D material, graphene oxide (GO) as reinforcement which results in 15-fold increase in stiffness. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to understand the interaction between silane functional groups (3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane) and SiO2 nanoparticles thus confirming the reinforcement capability of GO. In addition, the material is stable under high temperature and offers a cost-effective alternative to both fire-retardant and oil absorption materials.

The majority of studies have focused on using intrinsic halide perovskites, and the intentional incoporation of dopants has not been well explored. In this work, we discovered that small alkali ions, including lithium and sodium ions, could be electrochemically intercalated into a variety of halide and pseudohalide perovskites. The ion intercalation caused a lattice expansion of the perovskite crystals and resulted in an n-type doping of the perovskites. Such electrochemical doping improved the conductivity and changed the color of the perovskites, leading to an electrochromism with more than 40% reduction of transmittance in the 450-850 nm wavelength range. The doped perovskites exhibited improved electron injection efficiency into the pristine perovskite crystals, resulting in bright light-emitting diodes with a low turn-on voltage.

However, until now, planar solid state microbatteries do not yet exhibit a sufficient surface energy density. In that context, architectured 3D microbatteries appear therefore to be a good solution to improve the material mass loading while keeping small the footprint area. Beside the design itself of the 3D microbaterry, one important technological barrier to address is the conformal deposition of thin films (lithiated or not) on 3D structures. For that purpose, atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology is a powerful technique that enables conformal coatings of thin film on complex substrate. An original, robust, and highly efficient 3D scaffold is proposed to significantly improve the geometrical surface of miniaturized 3D microbattery. Four functional layers composing the 3D lithium ion microbattery stacking has been successfully deposited on simple and double microtubes 3D templates. In depth synchrotron X-ray nanotomography and high angle annular dark field transmission electron microscope analyses are used to study the interface between each layer. For the first time, using ALD, anatase TiO2 negative electrode is coated on 3D tubes with Li3PO4 lithium phosphate as electrolyte, opening the way to all solid-state 3D microbatteries. The surface capacity is significantly increased by the proposed topology (high area enlargement factor - thick 3D layer), from 3.5 A h cm(-2) for a planar layer up to 0.37 mA h cm(-2) for a 3D thin film (105 times higher).

Density functional theory calculation and electrochemical measurements reveal that the electrical conductivity and electrochemical activity are closely associated with the Co2P/CoP mixed phase behaviors upon Cu metal doping. This relationship is found to be the decisive factor for enhanced electrocatalytic performance. Moreover, the precise control of Cu content in Co-host lattice effectively alters the Gibbs free energy for H* adsorption, which is favorable for facilitating reaction kinetics. Impressively, an optimized performance has been achieved with mild Cu doping in Cu0.3Co2.7P/nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) which exhibits an ultralow overpotential of 0.19 V at 10 mA cm(-2) and satisfying stability for OER. Cu0.3Co2.7P/NC also shows excellent HER activity, affording a current density of 10 mA cm(-2) at a low overpotential of 0.22 V. In addition, a homemade electrolyzer with Cu0.3Co2.7P/NC paired electrodes shows 60% larger current density than Pt/RuO2 couple at 1.74 V, along with negligible catalytic deactivation after 50 h operation. The manipulation of electronic structure by controlled incorporation of second metal sheds light on understanding and synthesizing bimetallic transition metal phosphides for electrolysis-based energy conversion.

However, Na+, a similar alkali ion to Li+ or K+, is incapable of being intercalated into graphite and thus, graphite is not considered a potential electrode for Na-ion batteries. This atypical behavior of Na has drawn considerable attention; however, a clear explanation of its origin has not yet been provided. Herein, through a systematic investigation of alkali metal graphite intercalation compounds (AM-GICs, AM = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) in various solvent environments, it is demonstrated that the unfavorable local Na-graphene interaction primarily leads to the instability of Na-GIC formation but can be effectively modulated by screening Na ions with solvent molecules. Moreover, it is shown that the reversible Na intercalation into graphite is possible only for specific conditions of electrolytes with respect to the Na-solvent solvation energy and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level of the complexes. It is believed that these conditions are applicable to other electrochemical systems involving guest ions and an intercalation host and hint at a general strategy to tailor the electrochemical intercalation between pure guest ion intercalation and cointercalation.

A high dipole moment is seen in regioregular polymers, which have a tighter interchain stacking that promotes the formation of a morphology in bulk heterojunction blends with improved power conversion efficiencies. Aliphatic side chain substitution is systematically varied to understand the influence of side chain length and symmetry on the morphology and resultant performance. This side chain modification is found to influence crystal orientation and the phase separated morphology. Using the asymmetric side chain substitution with regioregularity of the main chain, an optimized power conversion efficiency of 9.06% is achieved, with an open circuit voltage of 0.72 V, a short circuit current of 19.63 mA cm(-2), and a fill factor over 65%. These results demonstrate that the local chemical environment can dramatically influence the physical properties of the resultant material.

Moseman-Valtierra, Serena TI Plant manipulations and diel cycle measurements test drivers of carbon dioxide and methane fluxes in a Phragmites australis-invaded coastal marsh SO AQUATIC BOTANY LA English DT Article DE Carbon dioxide; Methane; Phragmites australis; Salt marsh; Cavity ringdown spectroscopy; Diel patterns ID SALT-MARSH; SPARTINA-ALTERNIFLORA; NEW-ENGLAND; NATURAL-WATERS; NEW-JERSEY; EMISSIONS; SALINITY; WETLANDS; TRANSPORT; GASES AB Invasion of coastal marshes by Phragmites australis may alter carbon cycling, including fluxes of the greenhouse gases (GHGs) carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). Understanding patterns and drivers of these GHG fluxes in P. australis-invaded coastal marshes is critical to predicting how this widespread biological invasion may impact carbon (C) sequestration in coastal marshes. The objectives of this study were (1) to test effects of P. australis aboveground vegetation removal on GHG fluxes over short timescales (up to 4 months) and (2) to contrast diel patterns of GHG fluxes in P. australis-vegetated and cleared plots. First, effects of mechanical aboveground P. australis biomass removal on GHG fluxes and soil variables were tested over a series of short-term durations (from min to months). Next, on 3 dates, GHG fluxes were measured every 3 h over complete diel cycles. Net daytime CO2 uptake (-60 to 100 mu mol m(-2) s(-1)) was observed where P. australis was left intact. All durations of vegetation removal produced similar CO2 emissions to those measured from intact P. australis plots during evening hours. CH4 fluxes did not differ where P. australis was removed or left intact. Greater daytime CH4 emissions (75-100 mu mol m(-2) h(-1)) were found than at night (20-40 mu mol m(-2) h(-1)) from both cleared and vegetated plots. Results of this study suggest that CO2 fluxes in this system vary primarily due to substantial photosynthetic uptake by P. australis, and that CH4 emissions are likely driven by abiotic factors, such as temperature, that vary on diel cycles. Calculation of net GHG fluxes in this P. australis-invaded coastal marsh indicates that it is a GHG sink during the growing season. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are reported on a promising paradigm for adsorption of multiple hydrogen molecules to a single OMS attached to an MOF linker via a catechol or thiocatechol. The interactions between adsorbed H-2 and the OMS are characterized with special attention to their degrees of freedom and thermal properties. By combining the present calculations with experimental data, some of these materials are predicted to have usable capacities close to the Department of Energy (DOE) 2020 target of 40grL(-1) marking them as important synthetic targets. Surprisingly, calculations suggest that a Ca-catechol OMS retains the ability to bind up to two hydrogens even in the presence of residual solvent.

Repeat ionization efficiency (i.e., the ratio of ions detected to atoms loaded on the filament) measurements were conducted on sample sizes ranging from 10-100 pg for americium and 1-100 pg for plutonium using PIE and traditional (i.e., a single, zone-refined rhenium, flat filament ribbon with a carbon ionization enhancer)TIMS filament sources. When compared to traditional filaments, PIEs exhibited an average boost in ionization efficiency of similar to 550% for plutonium and similar to 1100% for americium. A maximum average efficiency of 1.09% was observed at a 1 pg plutonium sample loading using PIEs. Supplementary trials were conducted using newly developed platinum PIEs to analyze 10 pg mass loadings of plutonium. Platinum PIEs exhibited an additional similar to 134% boost in ion yield over standard PIEs and similar to 736% over traditional filaments at the same sample loading level. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Following testing and commissioning, the PCS user program was funded by the Biology and Environmental Research program of the Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-OBER) for 13 years (2002-2014). The PCS remained the only dedicated macromolecular neutron crystallography station in North America until the construction and commissioning of the MaNDi and IMAGINE instruments at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which started in 2012. The instrument produced a number of research and technical outcomes that have contributed to the field, clearly demonstrating the power of neutron crystallography in helping scientists to understand enzyme reaction mechanisms, hydrogen bonding and visualization of H-atom positions, which are critical to nearly all chemical reactions. During this period, neutron crystallography became a technique that increasingly gained traction, and became more integrated into macromolecular crystallography through software developments led by investigators at the PCS. This review highlights the contributions of the PCS to macromolecular neutron crystallography, and gives an overview of the history of neutron crystallography and the development of macromolecular neutron crystallography from the 1960s to the 1990s and onwards through the 2000s.

TI Raw diffraction data preservation and reuse: overview, update on practicalities and metadata requirements SO IUCRJ LA English DT Review DE raw diffraction data; data archiving; metadata descriptors for raw data; diversity of crystallographic instrumentation ID STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY; CAUTIONARY-TALE; ALWAYS-GO; CRYSTALLOGRAPHY; CISPLATIN; FORMAT; PUBLICATION; CARBOPLATIN; EXPERIENCES; DEPOSITION AB A topical review is presented of the rapidly developing interest in and storage options for the preservation and reuse of raw data within the scientific domain of the IUCr and its Commissions, each of which operates within a great diversity of instrumentation. A resume is included of the case for raw diffraction data deposition. An overall context is set by highlighting the initiatives of science policy makers towards an 'Open Science' model within which crystallographers will increasingly work in the future; this will bring new funding opportunities but also new codes of procedure within open science frameworks. Skills education and training for crystallographers will need to be expanded. Overall, there are now the means and the organization for the preservation of raw crystallographic diffraction data via different types of archive, such as at universities, disciplinespecific repositories (Integrated Resource for Reproducibility in Macromolecular Crystallography, Structural Biology Data Grid), general public data repositories (Zenodo, ResearchGate) and centralized neutron and X-ray facilities. Formulation of improved metadata descriptors for the raw data types of each of the IUCr Commissions is in progress; some detailed examples are provided. A number of specific case studies are presented, including an example research thread that provides complete open access to raw data. C1 [Kroon-Batenburg, Loes M.

However, their efficacy for in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) is limited by oxidant decay and reactivity. Hydroxypropyl-beta-cydodextrin (HP beta CD) was examined for its ability to stabilize aqueous-phase ozone (O-3) and prolong oxidation potential through inclusion complex formation. Partial transformation of HP beta CD by O-3 was observed. However, HP beta CD proved to be sufficiently recalcitrant, because it was only partially degraded in the presence of O-3. The formation of a HP beta CD:O-3 clathrate complex was observed, which stabilized decay of O-3. The presence of HI13CD increased the O-3 half-life linearly with increasing HP beta CD: O-3 molar ratio. The O-3 halflife in solutions increased by as much as 40-fold relative to HP beta CD-free O-3 Solutions. Observed O-3 release from HP beta CD and indigo oxidation confirmed that the formation of the inclusion complex is reversible. This proof-of concept study demonstrates that HP beta CD can complex O-3 while preserving its reactivity. These results suggest that the use of clathrate stabilizers, such as HP beta CD, can support the development of a facilitated-transport enabled ISCO for the O-3 treatment of groundwater contaminated with recalcitrant compounds.

This paper examines the effectiveness of policy incentives to increase residential solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity. We use county-level panel data and control for demographic characteristics, solar resources, and pro-environmental preferences. Results show that among financial incentives, rebates have the most impact with an additional $1 per watt rebate increasing annual PV capacity additions by close to 50%. Factors that affect financial returns to solar PV such as electricity price and solar insolation are also found to be significant. Results also point to a significant positive relationship between hybrid vehicle sales and residential PV capacity growth, indicating the importance of pro-environmental preferences as a predictor of solar PV demand. Back of the envelope calculations suggest that the cost of carbon mitigation through rebates is around $184 per ton of CO2. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

However, calibration of the agricultural-hydrological system models is challenging because of model complexity, the existence of strong parameter correlation, and significant computational requirements. Therefore, only a limited number of simulations can be allowed in any attempt to find a near-optimal solution within an affordable time, which greatly restricts the successful application of the model. The goal of this study is to locate the optimal solution of the Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM2) given a limited simulation time, so as to improve the model simulation and help make rational and effective agricultural-hydrological decisions. To this end, we propose a computationally efficient global optimization procedure using sparse-grid based surrogates. We first used advanced sparse grid (SG) interpolation to construct a surrogate system of the actual RZWQM2, and then we calibrate the surrogate model using the global optimization algorithm, Quantum-behaved Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO). As the surrogate model is a polynomial with fast evaluation, it can be efficiently evaluated with a sufficiently large number of times during the optimization, which facilitates the global search. We calibrate seven model parameters against five years of yield, drain flow, and NO3-N loss data from a subsurface-drained corn-soybean field in Iowa. Results indicate that an accurate surrogate model can be created for the RZWQM2 with a relatively small number of SG points (i.e., RZWQM2 runs). Compared to the conventional QPSO algorithm, our surrogate based optimization method can achieve a smaller objective function value and better calibration performance using a fewer number of expensive RZWQM2 executions, which greatly improves computational efficiency.

We present a general methodology to combine these estimates into a single set of consensus constraints that encode the total information of the individual measurements, taking into account the full covariance between the different methods. We illustrate this technique by applying it to combine the results obtained from different clustering analyses, including measurements of the signature of baryon acoustic oscillations and redshift-space distortions, based on a set of mock catalogues of the final SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). Our results show that the region of the parameter space allowed by the consensus constraints is smaller than that of the individual methods, highlighting the importance of performing multiple analyses on galaxy surveys even when the measurements are highly correlated. This paper is part of a set that analyses the final galaxy clustering data set from BOSS. The methodology presented here is used in Alam et al. to produce the final cosmological constraints from BOSS.

We implement a new detailed modelling of the effects of non-linearities, bias and redshift-space distortions that can be used to extract unbiased cosmological information from our measurements for scales s greater than or similar to 20 h(-1) Mpc. We combined the information from Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) with the latest cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations and Type Ia supernovae samples and found no significant evidence for a deviation from the Lambda cold dark matter (Lambda CDM) cosmological model. In particular, these data sets can constrain the dark energy equation-of-state parameter to w(DE) = -0.996 +/- 0.042 when to be assumed time independent, the curvature of the Universe to Omega(k) = -0.0007 +/- 0.0030 and the sum of the neutrino masses to Sigma m nu < 0.25 eV at 95 per cent confidence levels. We explore the constraints on the growth rate of cosmic structures assuming f(z)=Omega(m)(z)(gamma) and obtain gamma = 0.609 +/- 0.079, in good agreement with the predictions of general relativity of gamma=0.55. We compress the information of our clustering measurements into constraints on the parameter combinations D-V(z)/r(d), F-AP(z) and f sigma(8)(z) at z(eff) = 0.38, 0.51 and 0.61 with their respective covariance matrices and find good agreement with the predictions for these parameters obtained from the best-fitting Lambda CDM model to the CMB data from the Planck satellite.

The measurements and likelihoods presented here are combined with others by Alam et al. to produce the final cosmological constraints from BOSS.

Previously, it was demonstrated that the introduction of a combined swirl-tumble flow recovered combustion stability, which was otherwise lost when increasing the engine speed from 1000 to 2000 rpm. However, the improved combustion came at the expense of elevated engine-out soot emissions. Here, high-speed combustion luminosity and PIV measurements at 2000 rpm confirm that soot incandescence is more prevalent with high swirl and tumble. The application of high-speed infrared (IR) gasoline-vapor imaging introduced here provides unique insights, revealing that operation with a combination of swirl and tumble generates an asymmetric fuel distribution that spatially correlates with highly luminous sooting combustion. The IR fuel-vapor imaging technique collects line-of-sight mid-infrared thermal emission from the C-H stretch band of the heated fuel near a wavelength of 3.4 mu m. The IR images resolve the penetrating vapor plumes distinctly, demonstrating that the 3.4 mu m band is suitable for quantitative measurements of vapor penetration during injection. After injection, the IR images provide a qualitative description of fuel-vapor spread without combustion. It is found that the no-swirl case has a symmetric fuel-vapor development during the latter part of the compression stroke. In contrast, for operation with strong swirl and tumble, vapor rotation and the development of an asymmetric and non-uniform fuel-vapor distribution is observed. PIV measurements reveal that the swirl flow dominates the vapor rotation, while the tumble flow appears to be a major reason for the asymmetric fuel-vapor distribution.

The location and timing of both stages of autoignition are important parameters that influence the development and stabilisation of the flame. In this study, a two-dimensional direct numerical simulation (DNS) is conducted to provide a fully resolved description of ignition at diesel engine-relevant conditions. The DNS is performed at a pressure of 40 atmospheres and at an ambient temperature of 900 K using dimethyl ether (DME) as the fuel, with a 30 species reduced chemical mechanism. At these conditions, similar to diesel fuel, DME exhibits two-stage ignition. The focus of this study is on the behaviour of the low-temperature chemistry (LTC) and the way in which it influences the high-temperature ignition. The results show that the LTC develops as a "spotty" first-stage autoignition in lean regions which transitions to a diffusively supported cool-flame and then propagates up the local mixture fraction gradient towards richer regions. The cool-flame speed is much faster than can be attributed to spatial gradients in first-stage ignition delay time in homogeneous reactors. The cool-flame causes a shortening of the second-stage ignition delay times compared to a homogeneous reactor and the shortening becomes more pronounced at richer mixtures. Multiple high-temperature ignition kernels are observed over a range of rich mixtures that are much richer than the homogeneous most reactive mixture and most kernels form much earlier than suggested by the homogeneous ignition delay time of the corresponding local mixture. Overall, the results suggest that LTC can strongly influence both the timing and location in composition space of the high-temperature ignition. (C) 2016 by The Combustion Institute.

Double conditioning is applied on enthalpy and its dissipation rate. The performance of the DCMC model is evaluated using a number of previously reported direct numerical simulations (DNSs) with various fuels. The DNSs modelled ignition of various lean homogeneous mixtures with a high level of temperature inhomogeneities. The selected cases exhibit a prevalence of deflagration mode of combustion as opposed to a spontaneous ignition-front mode, which has proven challenging for previous singly CMC. In all simulations, DCMC solver is run in a stand-alone mode with certain terms, such as the probability density functions of enthalpy and dissipation rate, being provided using the DNS input. The DCMC results are in a very good agreement with the DNS data, and are significantly improved compared with a singly conditional moment closure. A set of a posteriori DNS-DCMC tests is also performed to demonstrate importance of various terms in the doubly CMC equations. These tests first reveal that the effects of the cross dissipation and sources of enthalpy and dissipation rate (which lead to convective terms in conditional space) are insignificant and these terms can be safely neglected from the DCMC equations. The significance of this result is that the main unclosed models that would be needed for satisfactory results in a practical simulation of an engine would be the joint probably density function of enthalpy and its dissipation rate and the dissipation rate of dissipation rate.

TI Soot, organics, and ultrafine ash from air-and oxy-fired coal combustion SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMBUSTION INSTITUTE LA English DT Article DE Oxy-coal combustion; Ultrafine fly ash; Loss on ignition; Elemental carbon; Organic carbon ID PULVERIZED-COAL; FLY-ASH; UNBURNED CARBON; DIESEL EXHAUST; FUEL COMBUSTION; PARTICLES; EMISSIONS; IGNITION; DEVOLATILIZATION; PYROLYSIS AB Pulverized bituminous coal was burned in a 10 W externally heated entrained flow furnace under air-combustion and three oxy-combustion inlet oxygen conditions (28, 32, and 36%). Experiments were designed to produce flames with practically relevant stoichiometric ratios (SR = 1.2-1.4) and constant residence times (2.3 s). Size-classified fly ash samples were collected, and measurements focused on the soot, elemental carbon (EC), and organic carbon (OC) composition of the total and ultrafine (< 0.6 mu m) fly ash. Results indicate that although the total fly ash carbon, as measured by loss on ignition, was always acceptably low (< 2%) with all three oxy-combustion conditions lower than air-combustion, the ultrafine fly ash for both air-fired and oxy-fired combustion conditions consists primarily of carbonaceous material (50-95%). Carbonaceous com-ponents on particles < 0.6 mu m measured by a thermal optical method showed that large fractions (52-93%) consisted of OC rather than EC, as expected. This observation was supported by thermogravimetric analysis indicating that for the air, 28% oxy, and 32% oxy conditions, 14-71% of this material may be OC volatilizing between 100 degrees C and 550 degrees C with the remaining 29-86% being EC/soot. However, for the 36% oxy condition, OC may comprise over 90% of the ultrafine carbon with a much smaller EC/soot contribution. These data were interpreted by considering the effects of oxy-combustion on flame attachment, ignition delay, and soot oxidation of a bituminous coal, and the effects of these processes on OC and EC emissions. Flame aerodynamics and inlet oxidant composition may influence emissions of organic hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from a bituminous coal. During oxy-coal combustion, judicious control of inlet oxygen concentration and placement may be used to minimize organic HAP and soot emissions. (C) 2016 by The Combustion Institute.

TI The effect of oxygen enrichment on soot formation and thermal radiation in turbulent, non-premixed methane flames SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMBUSTION INSTITUTE LA English DT Article DE Oxy-fuel; Flame; Methane; Soot; Radiation ID DIFFUSION FLAMES; AIR SEPARATION; JET FLAMES AB Non-premixed oxy-fuel combustion of natural gas is used in industrial applications where high-intensity heat is required, such as glass manufacturing and metal forging and shaping. In these applications, the high flame temperatures achieved by oxy-fuel combustion increase radiative heat transfer to the surfaces of interest and soot formation within the flame is desired for further augmentation of radiation. However, the high cost of cryogenic air separation has limited the penetration of oxy-fuel combustion technologies. New approaches to air separation are being developed that may reduce oxygen production costs, but only for intermediate levels of oxygen enrichment of air. To determine the influence of oxygen enrichment on soot formation and radiation, we developed a non-premixed coannular burner in which oxygen concentrations and oxidizer flow rates can be independently varied, to distinguish the effects of turbulent mixing intensity from oxygen en-richment on soot formation and flame radiation. Local radiation intensities, soot concentrations, and soot temperatures have been measured using a thin-film thermopile, planar laser-induced incandescence (LII), and two-color imaging pyrometry, respectively. The measurements show that soot formation increases as the oxygen concentration decreases from 100% to 50%, helping to moderate a decrease in overall flame radiation. An increase in turbulence intensity has a marked effect on flame height, soot formation and thermal radiation, leading to decreases in all of these. The soot temperature decreases with a decrease in the oxygen concentration and increases with an increase in turbulent mixing intensity. Overall, the results suggest that properly designed oxygen-enriched burners that enhance soot formation for intermediate levels of oxygen purity may be able to achieve thermal radiation intensities as high as 85% of traditional oxy-fuel burners utilizing high-purity oxygen.

TI Dual-resolution Raman spectroscopy for measurements of temperature and twelve species in hydrocarbon-air flames SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMBUSTION INSTITUTE LA English DT Article DE Raman spectroscopy; Dimethyl ether; Hydrocarbon flames; Laminar flames; Formaldehyde ID PREMIXED CH4/AIR FLAMES; DIMETHYL ETHER; PREFERENTIAL TRANSPORT; JET FLAMES; COMBUSTION AB This paper introduces dual-resolution Raman spectroscopy as a novel diagnostics approach for measurements of temperature and species in flames where multiple hydrocarbons are present. Simultaneous measurement of multiple hydrocarbons is challenging because their vibrational Raman spectra in the C-H stretch region are closely overlapped and are not well known over the range of temperature encountered in flames. Overlap between the hydrocarbon spectra is mitigated by adding a second spectrometer, with a higher dispersion grating, to collect the Raman spectra in the C-H stretch region. A dual-resolution Raman spectroscopy instrument has been developed and optimized for measurements of major species (N-2, O-2, H2O, CO2, CO, H-2, DME) and major combustion intermediates (CH4, CH2O, C-2 H-2, C2H4 and C2H6) in DME-air flames. The temperature dependences of the hydrocarbon Raman spectra over fixed spectral regions have been de-termined through a series of measurements in laminar Bunsen-burner flames, and have been used to extend a library of previously acquired Raman spectra up to flame temperature. The paper presents the first Raman measurements of up to twelve species in hydrocarbon flames, and the first quantitative Raman measurements of formaldehyde in flames. The accuracy and precision of the instrument are determined from measurements in laminar flames and the applicability of the instrument to turbulent DME-air flames is discussed.

Automatic temporal and spatial overlap of the similar to 7 fs pump and Stokes pulses is achieved utilizing a two-beam CARS phase-matching scheme, and the crossed similar to 75 ps probe beam provides excellent spatial sectioning of the probed location. Concurrent detection of N-2, O-2, H-2, CO, CO2, and CH4 is demonstrated while high-fidelity flame thermometry is assessed from the N-2 pure rotational S-branch in a one-dimensional-CARS imaging configuration. A methane/air premixed flame at lean, stoichiometric, and rich conditions (Phi = 0.83, 1.0, and 1.2) and Reynolds number = 5000 is probed as it quenches against a cooled steel side-wall parallel to the flow providing a persistent flame-wall interaction. An imaging resolution of better than 40 mu m is achieved across the field-of-view, thus allowing thermochemical states (temperature and major species) of the thermal boundary layer to be resolved to within similar to 30 mu m of the interface.

Barney TI Measuring flow profiles in heated miniature reactors with X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMBUSTION INSTITUTE LA English DT Article DE Gas densities; Krypton fluorescence; Silicon carbide; Supersonic jet ID RADICALS; RADIOGRAPHY; ACETYLENE AB Density profiles of flowing gases within an opaque, heated, silicon carbide (SiC) miniature flow tube were measured, for the first time, by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy using krypton as the fluorescent species. The experiments were performed with the flow tube at various fixed exterior wall temperatures between 300 K and 1100 K and a highly focused X-ray beam (5 mu m x 7 mu m; 15 keV). Spatially resolved raster scan maps of gas densities in the miniature reactor and the nearly supersonic jet eluting from the reactor were obtained. The intensity of the fluorescence signal was attenuated by the SiC, and a signal trapping model based on the tube morphology is required to convert the raw fluorescence signal into gas densities. This model was obtained, in part, from simultaneous measurements of the absorption of the incident X-rays by the SiC. Additional radiographic experiments with an unfocused beam were performed to image the SiC tube and complement the raster scans. Excellent correlation was found between the flow pattern revealed by the fluorescence measurements and the wall structure observed from the absorption measurements. Comments are made regarding refinements of the technique that will result in data of sufficient fidelity for validating computational fluid dynamic models of gas flows in heated miniature tubes.

TI Nitrogen amendment of green waste impacts microbial community, enzyme secretion and potential for lignocellulose decomposition SO PROCESS BIOCHEMISTRY LA English DT Article DE Municipal green waste; Compost; PICRUSt; Biomass deconstruction; Carbon to nitrogen ratio ID RICE STRAW; SOIL; DEPOSITION; BACTERIAL; BIODIVERSITY; ENRICHMENT; DIVERSITY; DYNAMICS; BIOFUELS; COMPOSTS AB Microorganisms involved in biomass deconstruction are an important resource for organic waste recycling and enzymes for lignocellulose bioconversion. The goals of this study were to examine the impact of nitrogen amendment on microbial community restructuring, secretion of xylanases and endoglucanases, and potential for biomass deconstruction. Communities were cultivated aerobically at 55 degrees C on green waste (GW) amended with varying levels of NH4Cl. Bacterial and fungal communities were determined using 16S rRNA and ITS region gene sequencing and PICRUSt (Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved States) was applied to predict relative abundance of genes involved in lignocellulose hydrolysis. Nitrogen amendment significantly increased secretion of xylanases and endoglucanases, and microbial activity; enzyme activities and cumulative respiration were greatest when nitrogen level in GW was between 4.13-4.56 wt% (g/g), but decreased with higher nitrogen levels. The microbial community shifted to one with increasing potential to decompose complex polymers as nitrogen increased with peak potential occurring between 3.79-4.45 wt% (g/g) nitrogen amendment. The results will aid in informing the management of nitrogen level to foster microbial communities capable of secreting enzymes that hydrolyze recalcitrant polymers in lignocellulose and yield rapid decomposition of green waste.

The study is the second paper devoted to this topic (part I: Faulques et al. RSC Adv., 2015, 5, 71219) and focuses on photoluminescence (PL) phenomena. When a temporal dimension is added, the TRPL technique surpasses, via PL decay analysis, steady-state approaches for discriminating minerals with very similar optical and PL spectra. Further, estimates of quantum yields and nonradiative lifetimes can be given. The results are pertinent in the context of remote sensing of parent hazardous uranyl compounds in the environment.

The HEBM treatment supplies enough energy to drive the excess V atoms to the surface to form a V-enriched shell. Such kind of cathode can deliver a high reversible capacity of 131.5 mA h g(-1) at 0.5C, which is close to the theoretical capacity ( 133 mA h g(-1) in 3.0-4.3 V). Even at 20C, it still delivers an excellent discharge capacity of 116.3 mA h g(-1), and a remarkable capacity of 111.0 mA h g(-1) after 1000 cycles, corresponding to an ultra-small capacity-loss of 0.0046% per cycle. The significantly improved high-rate electrochemical performance can be attributed to the active shell of LiVOPO4, which not only efficiently facilitates the electron and Li+ ion transport during cycling processes, but also accommodates more Li+ ions to effectively compensate the capacity loss of the core.

In addition to the remarkable stability of Pt nanocrystals supported on the {111} ZnAl2O4 facet under a harsh oxidizing atmosphere, we also identified the phase segregation of ZnAl2O4 to ZnO and Al2O3 and the transformation of Pt to PtZn bimetallic alloy for Pt supported on other facets. High resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses reveal the phase segregation is associated with a cation migration mechanism associated with replacement of Zn2+ by Al3+ in the spinel structure. This work confirms the strong interfacial interactions between precious metal nanocrystals and that the spinel support is a general mechanism for stabilizing precious metal catalysts, with important implications for the rational design of stable integrated catalysis systems.

As a result of the coating the permeability of the copolymer-GO hybrid microspheres was reduced to an extent that suppressed the initial burst release and enabled sustained drug release in in vitro testing. The hybrid microspheres showed improved drug encapsulation by 46.4% which was attributed to the diffusion barrier properties and p-conjugated structure of GO. The system presented here is promising to advance, e.g., anticancer drug delivery technologies by enabling sustained drug release and thus minimizing local and systemic side effects.

Small (<5 nm) irregular Ce(OH)(3) nanoparticles were identified as the final products from cerium(III) nitrate solutions of initial pH 5.2. Pourbaix diagrams show that solid Ce(OH)(3) can only exist above pH 10.4, whereas at lower pH values, Ce(III) should remain soluble as aqueous Ce3+. Reduction of Ce3+ to zerovalent Ce by aqueous electrons followed by hydrolysis is a plausible catalytic mechanism for generating hydroxide. Numerical simulations support that radiolysis of cerium nitrate solutions may lead to pH increases, in contrast to well-known acidification of pure water. Compared to previous radiolytic synthesis routes in aqueous solution for other metal or metal oxide nanoparticles, based on metal ion reduction, for example, the chemical pathways leading to these Ce(III) nanostructures require an increase in the local pH to alkaline conditions where Ce(OH) 3 can exist. These results extend the range of chemical conditions that can be induced by radiolysis to form oxidized nanostructures from solution.

In this study, one-and two-stage alkali/alkali-peroxide pretreatment waste streams of corn stover were separately implemented as feedstocks in 96 h batch reactor fermentations with wild-type Rhodococcus opacus PD 630, R. opacus DSM 1069, and R. jostii DSM 44719T. Here we show using P-31-NMR, HPAEC-PAD, and SEC analyses, that the more rigorous and chemically-efficient two-stage chemical pretreatment effluent provided higher concentrations of solubilized glucose and lower molecular weight (similar to 70-300 g mol(-1)) lignin degradation products thereby enabling improved cellular density, viability, and oleaginicity in each respective strain. The most significant yields were by R. opacus PD 630, which converted 6.2% of organic content with a maximal total lipid production of 1.3 g L-1 and accumulated 42.1% in oils based on cell dry weight after 48 h.

Nitrogen-doped hollow carbon spheres (NHCSs) with extra low density and high specific surface area are a promising carbon support for loading Pt NPs. The doped heteroatom of nitrogen not only contributes to the active activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), but also shows a strong interaction with Pt NPs for entrapping them to prevent dissolution/migration. This synergetic effect/interaction resulted in the uniform dispersion and strong combination of the Pt NPs on the carbon support and thus plays a significant role in hindering the degradation of the catalytic activities of Pt NPs. As expected, the asobtained Pt/NHCSs displayed improved catalytic activity and superior durability toward the ORR.

TI Energy penetration into arrays of aligned nanowires irradiated with relativistic intensities: Scaling to terabar pressures SO SCIENCE ADVANCES LA English DT Article ID LASER-PULSES; PLASMAS; TARGETS AB Ultrahigh-energy density (UHED) matter, characterized by energy densities >1 x 10(8) J cm(-3) and pressures greater than a gigabar, is encountered in the center of stars and inertial confinement fusion capsules driven by the world's largest lasers. Similar conditions can be obtained with compact, ultrahigh contrast, femtosecond lasers focused to relativistic intensities onto targets composed of aligned nanowire arrays. We report the measurement of the key physical process in determining the energy density deposited in high-aspect-ratio nanowire array plasmas: the energy penetration. By monitoring the x-ray emission from buried Co tracer segments in Ni nanowire arrays irradiated at an intensity of 4x10(19) W cm(-2), we demonstrate energy penetration depths of several micrometers, leading to UHED plasmas of that size. Relativistic three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, validated by these measurements, predict that irradiation of nanostructures at intensities of >1 x 10(22) W cm(-2) will lead to a virtually unexplored extreme UHED plasma regime characterized by energy densities in excess of 8 x 10(10) J cm-3, equivalent to a pressure of 0.35 Tbar.

The wtAsbF is relatively unstable at 37 degrees C, in vitro (t(1/2)(37) = 15 min), in the absence of divalent metal. We adopted a structure-based design to identify stabilizing mutations and created a combinatorial library based upon predicted mutations at specific locations on the enzyme surface. A diversified asbF library (similar to 2000 variants) was expressed in E. coli harboring a green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter system linked to the product of wtAsbF activity (3,4-dihydroxybenzoate, DHB). Mutations detrimental to DHSase function were rapidly eliminated using a high throughput fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) approach. After a single sorting round and heat screen at 50 degrees C, a triple AsbF mutant (Mut1), T61N, H135Y, and H257P, was isolated and characterized. The half-life of Mut1 at 37 degrees C was >10-fold higher than the wtAsbF (t(1/2)(37) = 169 min). Further, the second-order rate constants for both wtAsbF and Mut1 were approximately equal (9.9 x 10(5) M-1 s(-1), 7.8 x 10(5) M-1 s(-1), respectively), thus demonstrating protein thermostability did not come at the expense of enzyme thermophilicity. In addition, in vivo overexpression of Mut1 in E. coli resulted in a similar to 60-fold increase in functional enzyme when compared to the wild-type enzyme under the identical expression conditions. Finally, overexpression of the thermostable AsbF resulted in an approximate 80-120% increase in DHB accumulation in the media relative to the wild-type enzyme.

TI Comprehensive in Vitro Analysis of Acyltransferase Domain Exchanges in Modular Polyketide Synthases and Its Application for Short-Chain Ketone Production SO ACS SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Type I modular polyketide synthase; acyltransferase domain; substrate specificity; protein engineering; synthetic biology tool ID ESCHERICHIA-COLI; SUBSTRATE-SPECIFICITY; 6-DEOXYERYTHRONOLIDE-B SYNTHASE; ERYTHROMYCIN DERIVATIVES; MECHANISTIC ANALYSIS; E. COLI; BIOSYNTHESIS; PATHWAY; BIOFUELS; ACIDS AB Type I modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) are polymerases that utilize acyl-CoAs as substrates. Each polyketide elongation reaction is catalyzed by a set of protein domains called a module. Each module usually contains an acyltransferase (AT) domain, which determines the specific acyl-CoA incorporated into each condensation reaction. Although a successful exchange of individual AT domains can lead to the biosynthesis of a large variety of novel compounds, hybrid PKS modules often show significantly decreased activities. Using monomodular PKSs as models, we have systematically analyzed the segments of AT domains and associated linkers in AT exchanges in vitro and have identified the boundaries within a module that can be used to exchange AT domains while maintaining protein stability and enzyme activity. Importantly, the optimized domain boundary is highly conserved, which facilitates AT domain replacements in most type I PKS modules. To further demonstrate the utility of the optimized AT domain boundary, we have constructed hybrid PKSs to produce industrially important short-chain ketones. Our in vitro and in vivo analysis demonstrated production of predicted ketones without significant loss of activities of the hybrid enzymes. These results greatly enhance the mechanistic understanding of PKS modules and prove the benefit of using engineered PKSs as a synthetic biology tool for chemical production.

TI Development of Next Generation Synthetic Biology Tools for Use in Streptomyces venezuelae SO ACS SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE streptomyces; bisabolene; fluorescent protein; promoter ID ESCHERICHIA-COLI; GENE-EXPRESSION; ENGINEERED PRODUCTION; FLUORESCENT PROTEIN; CLONING VECTORS; FATTY-ACIDS; GENOME; REPORTER; SYSTEM; SITE AB Streptomyces have a rich history as producers of important natural products and this genus of bacteria has recently garnered attention for its potential applications in the broader context of synthetic biology. However, the dearth of genetic tools available to control and monitor protein production precludes rapid and predictable metabolic engineering that is possible in hosts such as Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In an effort to improve genetic tools for Streptomyces venezuelae, we developed a suite of standardized, orthogonal integration vectors and an improved method to monitor protein production in this host. These tools were applied to characterize heterologous promoters and various attB chromosomal integration sites. A final study leveraged the characterized toolset to demonstrate its use in producing the biofuel precursor bisabolene using a chromosomally integrated expression system. These tools advance S. venezuelae to be a practical host for future metabolic engineering efforts.

Blends were tested along with the pure materials to determine the effect of blending on product yields and qualities. Within experimental error, oil yields from fast pyrolysis and upgrading are shown to be linear functions of the blend components. Switchgrass exhibited lower fast pyrolysis and upgrading yields than the woody samples, which included clean pine, oriented strand board (OSB), and a mix of pinon and juniper (PJ). The notable exception was PJ, for which the poor upgrading yield of 18% was likely associated with the very high viscosity of the PJ fast pyrolysis oil (947 cp). The highest fast pyrolysis yield (54% dry basis) was obtained from clean pine, while the highest upgrading yield (50%) was obtained from a blend of 80% clean pine and 20% OSB (CP8OSB2). For switchgrass, reducing the fast pyrolysis temperature to 450 degrees C resulted in a significant increase to the pyrolysis oil yield and reduced hydrogen consumption during hydrotreating, but did not directly affect the hydrotreating oil yield. The water content of fast pyrolysis oils was also observed to increase linearly with the summed content of potassium and sodium, ranging from 21% for clean pine to 37% for switchgrass. Multiple linear regression models demonstrate that fast pyrolysis is strongly dependent upon the contents of lignin and volatile matter as well as the sum of potassium and sodium.

TI The Inik Sikumi Field Experiment, Alaska North Slope: Design, Operations, and Implications for CO2-CH4 Exchange in Gas Hydrate Reservoirs SO ENERGY & FUELS LA English DT Article ID STRATIGRAPHIC TEST WELL; CARBON-DIOXIDE; METHANE-HYDRATE; PHASE-EQUILIBRIA; NANKAI TROUGH; CO2; SIMULATION; MODEL; LOG AB The Ignik Sikumi Gas Hydrate Exchange Field Experiment was conducted by ConocoPhillips in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy, the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation, and the U.S. Geological Survey within the Prudhoe Bay Unit on the Alaska North Slope during 2011 and 2012. The primary goals of the program were to (1) determine the feasibility of gas injection into hydrate-bearing sand reservoirs and (2) observe reservoir response upon subsequent flowback in order to assess the potential for CO2 exchange for CH4 in naturally occurring gas hydrate reservoirs. Initial modeling determined that no feasible means of injection of pure CO2 was likely, given the presence of free water in the reservoir. Laboratory and numerical modeling studies indicated that the injection of a mixture of CO2 and N-2 offered the best potential for gas injection and exchange. The test featured the following primary operational phases: (1) injection of a gaseous phase mixture of CO2, N-2, and chemical tracers; (2) flowback conducted at downhole pressures above the stability threshold for native CH4 hydrate; and (3) an extended (30-days) flowback at pressures near, and then below, the stability threshold of native CH4 hydrate. The test findings indicate that the formation of a range of mixed-gas hydrates resulted in a net exchange of CO2 for CH4 in the reservoir, although the complexity of the subsurface environment renders the nature, extent, and efficiency of the exchange reaction uncertain. The next steps in the evaluation of exchange technology should feature multiple well applications; however, such field test programs will require extensive preparatory experimental and numerical modeling studies and will likely be a secondary priority to further field testing of production through depressurization. Additional insights gained from the field program include the following: (1) gas hydrate destabilization is self-limiting, dispelling any notion of the potential for uncontrolled destabilization; (2) gas hydrate test wells must be carefully designed to enable rapid reinediation of wellbore blockages that will occur during any cessation in operations; (3) sand production during hydrate production likely can be managed through standard engineering controls; and (4) reservoir heat exchange during depressurization was more favorable than expected mitigating concerns for near-wellbore freezing and enabling consideration of more aggressive pressure reduction.

TI Evaluation of the predictive capability of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical models for a heated bentonite/clay system (HE-E) in the Mont Terri Rock Laboratory SO Environmental Earth Sciences LA English DT Article DE Mont Terri; Clay rock; Bentonite; Heater experiment; Coupled THM processes; DECOVALEX ID THM PROCESSES; REPOSITORY; BEHAVIOR AB Process understanding and parameter identification using numerical methods based on experimental findings are key aspects of the international cooperative project DECOVALEX (DEvelopment of COupled models and their VALidation against Experiments http://www.decovalex.org). Comparing the long-term predictions from numerical models against experimental results increases confidence in the site selection and site evaluation process for a radioactive waste repository in deep geological formations. In the present phase of the project, DECOVALEX2015, eight research teams have developed and applied models for simulating the HE-E in situ heater experiment in the Opalinus Clay in the Mont Terri Rock Laboratory in Switzerland. The modelling task was divided into two study stages, related to prediction and interpretation of the experiment. A blind prediction of the HE-E experiment was performed based on calibrated parameter values for both the Opalinus Clay, which were derived from the modelling of another in situ experiment (HE-D experiment in the Mont Terri Rock Laboratory), and calibrated parameters for MX80 granular bentonite and a sand/bentonite mixture, which were derived from modelling of laboratory column tests. After publication of the HE-E experimental data, additional functions for coupled processes were analysed and considered in the different models. Moreover, parameter values were varied to interpret the measured temperature, relative humidity and pore pressure evolution. Generally, the temperature field can be well reproduced and is mainly controlled by thermal conductivity in the heat conduction process; the thermal conductivities of buffer materials and Opalinus Clay strongly depend on the degree of water saturation. The distribution of relative humidity is acceptable as it is reproduced by using both the Richards' flow model and the multiphase flow model. Important here is to consider the vapour diffusion process. The analysis of the predictive and interpretative modelling confirms that the main processes in the system have been understood at least for the short-term experimental duration and captured using the models developed and associated parameters with respect to the thermal and hydraulic aspects in the high-level nuclear waste disposal in clay formations. The additional experimental results will help to increase confidence in the THM models and in process understanding.

However, very few approaches have been applied to link EJ factors to exposure dose estimate and identify potential impacts of EJ factors on dose-related variables. The purpose of this study is to identify quantitative approaches that incorporate conventional risk assessment (RA) dose modeling and cumulative risk assessment (CRA) considerations of disproportionate environmental exposure. We apply the Average Daily Dose (ADD) model, which has been commonly used in RA, to better understand impacts of EJ indicators upon exposure dose estimates and dose-related variables, termed the Environmental-Justice-Average-Daily-Dose (EJ-ADD) approach. On the U.S. nationwide census tract-level, we defined and quantified two EJ indicators (poverty and race/ethnicity) using an EJ scoring method to examine their relation to census tract-level multi-chemical exposure dose estimates. Pollutant doses for each tract were calculated using the ADD model, and EJ scores were assigned to each tract based on poverty-or race-related population percentages. Single-and multiple-chemical ADD values were matched to the tract-level EJ scores to analyze disproportionate dose relationships and contributing EJ factors. We found that when both EJ indicators were examined simultaneously, ADD for all pollutants generally increased with larger EJ scores. To demonstrate the utility of using EJ-ADD on the local scale, we approximated ADD levels of lead via soil/dust ingestion for simulated communities with different EJ-related scenarios. The local-level simulation indicates a substantial difference in exposure-dose levels between wealthy and EJ communities. The application of the EJ-ADD approach can link EJ factors to exposure dose estimate and identify potential EJ impacts on dose-related variables.

Lay description A typical sample of a nanomaterial contains a distribution of nanoparticles of various shapes and/or sizes. A single scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of such a sample often captures only a fragment of the sample, and therefore only a fragment of the morphological variety present in the sample. In order to obtain more complete information about the "true" sample morphology, one needs to asses the content of a series of SEM images. In our article, we present a framework for extracting morphological information contained in SEM images using computer vision algorithms, and for converting them into numerical particle descriptors representing the particle morphology. We then explore the concept of image representativeness and provide a set of protocols for selecting optimal SEM images as well as determining the smallest representative image set for each of the morphological features. We demonstrate the practical aspects of our methodology by investigating SEM images of a tricalcium phosphate sample, a naturally occurring mineral with a wide range of biomedical applications.

The faithfulness of these measurements is dependent on proper sample preparation. Using mouse embryonic fibroblast NIH/3T3 cells as an example, we compare various approaches to the preparation of adherent mammalian cells for XFM imaging under ambient temperature. Direct side-by-side comparison shows that plunge-freezing-based cryoimmobilization provides more faithful preservation than conventional chemical fixation for most biologically important elements including P, S, Cl, K, Fe, Cu, Zn and possibly Ca in adherent mammalian cells. Although cells rinsed with fresh media had a great deal of extracellular background signal for Cl and Ca, this approach maintained cells at the best possible physiological status before rapid freezing and it does not interfere with XFM analysis of other elements. If chemical fixation has to be chosen, the combination of 3% paraformaldehyde and 1.5 % glutaraldehyde preserves S, Fe, Cu and Zn better than either fixative alone. When chemically fixed cells were subjected to a variety of dehydration processes, air drying was proved to be more suitable than other drying methods such as graded ethanol dehydration and freeze drying. This first detailed comparison for x-ray fluorescence microscopy shows how detailed quantitative conclusions can be affected by the choice of cell preparation method.

TI Friction consolidation of gas-atomized Fe-Si powders for soft magnetic applications SO MATERIALS CHARACTERIZATION LA English DT Article DE Fe-Si; Soft magnet; Friction consolidation; Coercivity; Microstructure ID TEXTURE; ALLOYS; STRESS; FILMS AB Soft magnetic materials are often limited in scalability due to conventional processes that do not retain beneficial microstructures, and their associated physical properties, during densification. In this work, friction consolidation (FC) has been studied to fabricate Fe Si soft magnetic materials from gas-atomized powder precursors. Fe Si powder is consolidated using variable pressure and tool rotation speed in an effort to evaluate this unique densification approach for potential improvements in magnetic properties. FC, due to the high shear deformation involved, is shown to result in uniform gradual grain structure refinement across the consolidated workpiece from the center nearest the tool to the edge. Magnetic properties along different orientations indicate little, if any, textural orientation in the refined grain structure. The effect of annealing on the magnetic properties is evaluated and shown to decrease coercivity. FC processing was able to retain the magnetization of the original gas-atomized powders but further process optimization is needed to reach the optimal coercivity for the soft magnetic materials applications.

TI Engineering electron metabolism to increase ethanol production in Clostridium thermocellum SO METABOLIC ENGINEERING LA English DT Article DE Clostridium thermocellum; Ethanol ID YIELDS; GENE; CELLULASE; PROFILES; PATHWAYS; CULTURES; STRESS AB The NfnAB (NADH-dependent reduced ferredoxin: oxidoreductase) and Rnf (ion-translocating reduced ferredoxin: NAD(+) oxidoreductase) complexes are thought to catalyze electron transfer between reduced ferredoxin and NAD(P)(+). Efficient electron flux is critical for engineering fuel production pathways, but little is known about the relative importance of these enzymes in vivo. In this study we investigate the importance of the NfnAB and Rnf complexes in Clostridium thermocellum for growth on cellobiose and Avicel using gene deletion, enzyme assays, and fermentation product analysis. The NfnAB complex does not seem to play a major role in metabolism, since deletion of nfnAB genes had little effect on the distribution of fermentation products. By contrast, the Rnf complex appears to play an important role in ethanol formation. Deletion of rnf genes resulted in a decrease in ethanol formation. Overexpression of rnf genes resulted in an increase in ethanol production of about 30%, but only in strains where the hydG hydrogenase maturation gene was also deleted.

In the wild type organism, there are three proposed pathways for conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to pyruvate, which differ in their cofactor usage. One path uses pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK), another pathway uses the combined activities of PEP carboxykinase (PEPCK) and oxaloacetate decarboxylase (ODC). Yet another pathway, the malate shunt, uses the combined activities of PEPCK, malate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme. First we showed that there is no flux through the ODC pathway by enzyme assay. Flux through the remaining two pathways (PPDK and malate shunt) was determined by dynamic C-13 labeling. In the wild-type strain, the malate shunt accounts for about 33 +/- 2% of the flux to pyruvate, with the remainder via the PPDK pathway. Deletion of the ppdk gene resulted in a redirection of all pyruvate flux through the malate shunt. This provides the first direct evidence of the in-vivo function of the malate shunt.

TI Deciphering flux adjustments of engineered E. coli cells during fermentation with changing growth conditions SO METABOLIC ENGINEERING LA English DT Article DE C-13-MFA; Channeling; Free metabolites; Promoter; Reflux; Tryptophan; Violacein ID BACILLUS-SUBTILIS METABOLISM; PENTOSE-PHOSPHATE PATHWAY; ESCHERICHIA-COLI; CORYNEBACTERIUM-GLUTAMICUM; CHROMOBACTERIUM-VIOLACEUM; SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY; CYCLE; PERTURBATIONS; ROBUSTNESS; FRAMEWORK AB Microbial fermentation conditions are dynamic, due to transcriptional induction, nutrient consumption, or changes to incubation conditions. In this study, C-13-metabolic flux analysis was used to characterize two violacein-producing E. coli strains with vastly different productivities, and to profile their metabolic adjustments resulting from external perturbations during fermentation. The two strains were first grown at 37 degrees C in stage 1, and then the temperature was transitioned to 20 degrees C in stage 2 for the optimal expression of the violacein synthesis pathway. After induction, violacein production was minimal in stage 3, but accelerated in stage 4 (early production phase) and 5 (late production phase) in the high producing strain, reaching a final concentration of 1.5 mmol/L. On the contrary, similar to 0.02 mmol/L of violacein was obtained from the low producing strain. To have a snapshot of the temporal metabolic changes in each stage, we performed C-13-MFA via isotopomer analysis of fast-turnover free metabolites. The results indicate strikingly stable flux ratios in the central metabolism throughout the early growth stages. In the late stages, however, the high producer rewired its flux distribution significantly, which featured an upregulated pentose phosphate pathway and TCA cycle, reflux from acetate utilization, negligible anabolic fluxes, and elevated maintenance loss, to compensate for nutrient depletion and drainage of some building blocks due to violacein overproduction. The low producer with stronger promoters shifted its relative fluxes in stage 5 by enhancing the flux through the TCA cycle and acetate overflow, while exhibiting a reduced biomass growth and a minimal flux towards violacein synthesis. Interestingly, the addition of the violacein precursor (tryptophan) in the medium inhibited high producer but enhanced low producer's productivity, leading to hypotheses of unknown pathway regulations (such as metabolite channeling).

However, genome-wide investigation of the contribution of CNV to risk has been hampered by limited sample sizes. We sought to address this obstacle by applying a centralized analysis pipeline to a SCZ cohort of 21,094 cases and 20,227 controls. A global enrichment of CNV burden was observed in cases (odds ratio (OR) = 1.11, P = 5.7 x 10(-15)), which persisted after excluding loci implicated in previous studies (OR = 1.07, P = 1.7 x 10(-6)). CNV burden was enriched for genes associated with synaptic function (OR = 1.68, P = 2.8 x 10(-11)) and neurobehavioral phenotypes in mouse (OR = 1.18, P = 7.3 x 10(-5)). Genome-wide significant evidence was obtained for eight loci, including 1q21.1, 2p16.3 (NRXN1), 3q29, 7q11.2, 15q13.3, distal 16p11.2, proximal 16p11.2 and 22q11.2. Suggestive support was found for eight additional candidate susceptibility and protective loci, which consisted predominantly of CNVs mediated by nonallelic homologous recombination.

Dynamic control of the proposed recompression S-CO2 cycle is accomplished with input from resistance temperature detector (RTD) measurements of the process fluid. One of the challenges in practical implementation of S-CO2 cycle is high corrosion rate of component and sensor materials. In this paper, we develop a mathematical model of RTD sensing using eigendecomposition model of radial heat transfer in a layered long cylinder. We show that the value of RTD time constant primarily depends on the rate of heat transfer from the fluid to the outer wall of RTD. We also show that for typical material properties, RTD time constant can be calculated as the sum of reciprocal eigen-values of the heat transfer matrix. Using the computational model and a set of RTD and CO2 fluid thermophysical parameter values, we calculate the value of time constant of thermowell-mounted RTD sensor at the hot side of the precooler in the S-CO2 cycle. The eigendecomposition model of RTD will be used in future studies to model sensor degradation and its impact on control of S-CO2. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Emergence of higher order rotational symmetry in the hidden order phase of URu2Si2 SO PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE LA English DT Article DE Hidden order; rotational symmetry; heavy-fermion metals ID ELECTRON SUPERCONDUCTOR URU2SI2; MAGNETIC EXCITATIONS; FERMI-SURFACE; TRANSITION; LATTICE; SYSTEM; STATE AB Electrical resistivity measurements were performed as functions of temperature, magnetic field, and angle theta between the magnetic field and the c-axis of a URu2Si2 single crystal. The resistivity exhibits a two-fold oscillation as a function of theta at high temperatures, which undergoes a 180 degrees-phase shift (sign change) with decreasing temperature at around 35 K. The hidden order transition is manifested as a minimum in the magnetoresistance and amplitude of the two-fold oscillation. Interestingly, the resistivity also showed four-fold, six-fold, and eight-fold symmetries at the hidden order transition. These higher order symmetries were also detected at low temperatures, which could be a sign of the formation of another pseudogap phase above the superconducting transition, consistent with recent evidence for a pseudogap from point-contact spectroscopy measurements and NMR. Measurements of the magnetisation of single crystalline URu2Si2 with the magnetic field applied parallel and perpendicular to the crystallographic c-axis revealed regions with linear temperature dependencies between the hidden order transition temperature and about 25 K. This T-linear behaviour of the magnetisation may be associated with the formation of a precursor phase or 'pseudogap' in the density of states in the vicinity of 30-35 K.

However, the high cost of the nanosecond pulsed power sources has hindered adaptation of the plasma-based technologies for clinical and industrial use. This paper presents a low cost (< 100US$) nanosecond pulsed plasma system that consists of a Cockcroft-Walton high voltage charging circuit, a compact nanosecond pulse generator using a spark gap as switch, and a plasma reactor. The nanosecond pulse power source requires only a 12 V DC input, hence is battery operable. Through the optimization of the experimental parameters, pulses with a peak voltage > 10 kV, a 3 ns rise time (10 to 90 %), and a 10 ns pulse duration (full width at half maximum) at a pulse repetition rate of up to 500 Hz were achieved in the present study. It has been successfully tested to power three different plasma reactors to form pulsed corona discharges, dielectric barrier discharges, and sliding discharges. The energy efficiency of such a nanosecond pulsed sliding discharge system was assessed in the context of ozone synthesis using air or oxygen as the feed gas, and was found comparable to a previously reported non-thermal plasma system that used commercial high voltage pulsed power sources. This study demonstrated that this low-cost nanosecond pulsed power source can prove to be an energy efficient and simple supply to drive various non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma reactors for environmental, medical and other applications.

TI Suppression of magnetostructural transition on GdSiGe thin film after thermal cyclings SO THIN SOLID FILMS LA English DT Article DE Thermal cycling; Magnetocaloric effect; Thin films; Microstructure ID MAGNETOCALORIC MATERIALS; TEMPERATURE; GD5SI2GE2; BEHAVIOR; GD-5(SI0.1GE0.9)(4); REFRIGERATION; HYSTERESIS; COMPOUND; SYSTEM; BULK AB The influence of thermal cycling on the microstructure, magnetic phase transition and magnetic entropy change of a Gd5Si1.3Ge2.7 thin film up to 1000 cycles is investigated. The authors found that after 1000 cycles a strong reduction of the crystallographic phase responsible for the magnetostructural transition (Orthorhombic II phase) occurs. This is attributed to chemical disorder, caused by the large number of expansion/compression cycles that the Orthorhombic II phase undergoes across the magnetostructural transition. The suppression of the magnetostructural transition corresponds to a drastic decrease of the thin film magnetic entropy change. These results reveal the importance of studying the thermal/magnetic cycles influence on magnetostructural transitions as they can damage a real-life device. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

However, such models contain thousands of equations and cannot readily be incorporated into computerized systems to yield rapid estimates of economic impacts of various types of transportation system failures due to natural hazards, terrorist attacks or technological accidents. This paper presents a reduced-form approach to simplify the analytical content of CGE models and make them more transparent and enhance their utilization potential. The reduced-form CGE analysis is conducted by first running simulations one hundred times, varying key parameters, such as the magnitude of the initial shock, duration, location, behavioral responses, and resilience, according to a Latin Hypercube sampling procedure. Statistical analysis is then applied to the "synthetic data" results in the form of both ordinary least-squares and quantile regression. The analysis yields linear equations that are incorporated into a computerized system and utilized along with Monte Carlo simulation methods for propagating uncertainties in economic consequences. Although our demonstration and discussion focuses on aviation system disruptions caused by terrorist attacks, the approach can be applied to a broad range of threat scenarios. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Because no material currently meets all three requirements, intensive semiconductor discovery efforts are underway, with a major focus on complex metal oxides. Discovery and development of next-generation light absorbers can be accelerated by gaining mechanistic insights into the function of existing systems. BiVO4 embodies many key characteristics of the broader class of transition-metal oxides. Thus, it is well-suited as a platform for elucidating the critical roles of charge localization, defects, and chemical interactions on photoelectrochemical performance characteristics. In this Perspective, we discuss how comprehensive characterization of electronic structure and semiconductor properties can advance theoretical models, approaches to addressing inefficiencies and instabilities, and prediction of new materials. Studies of BiVO4 provide a general framework for understanding mechanisms in emerging materials and a foundation for discovering new ones.

Here we report the preparation of a solar fuel biohybrid that embeds a nickel diphosphine hydrogen evolution catalyst into the cofactor binding pocket of the electron shuttle protein, flavodoxin (Fld). The system is made photocatalytic by linking a cysteine residue in Fld to a ruthenium photosensitizer. Importantly, the protein environment enables the otherwise insoluble Ni catalyst to perform photocatalysis in aqueous solution over a pH range of 3.5-12.0, with optimal turnover frequency 410 +/- 30 h(-1) and turnover number 620 +/- 80 mol H-2/mol hybrid observed at pH 6.2. For the first time, a reversible light-induced charge-separated state involving a Ni(I) intermediate was directly monitored by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Transient optical measurements reflect two conformational states, with a Ni(I) state formed in similar to 1.6 or similar to 185 mu s that persists for several milliseconds as a long-lived charge-separated state facilitated by the protein matrix.

Their chemical and structural diversity creates a versatile design space that could be used to optimize materials with higher conductivity at lower temperatures; however, many mechanistic details remain enigmatic, including reasons why certain known modifications lead to improved performance. We use extensive ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to explore the dependence of ionic conductivity on cation/anion pair combinations for Li and Na polyborane salts. Further simulations are used to probe the influence of local modifications to chemistry, stoichiometry, and composition. Carbon doping, anion alloying, and cation off-stoichiometry are found to favorably introduce intrinsic disorder, facilitating local deviation from the expected cation population. Lattice expansion likewise has a positive effect by aiding anion reorientations that are critical for conduction. Implications for engineering polyboranes for improved ionic conductivity are discussed.

Ultrathin (similar to 500 nm) solar cells have been made using colloidal CdTe nanocrystals with efficiencies exceeding 12% power conversion efficiency (PCE) demonstrated by using very simple device stacks. Further progress requires an effective method for extracting charge carriers generated during light harvesting. Here, we explored solution-based methods for creating transparent Ohmic contacts to the solution-deposited CdTe absorber layer and demonstrated molecular and nanocrystal approaches to Ohmic hole extracting contacts at the ITO/CdTe interface. We used scanning Kelvin probe microscopy to further show how the above approaches improved carrier collection by reducing the potential drop under reverse bias across the ITO/CdTe interface.

TI Reviving Antibiotics: Efflux Pump Inhibitors That Interact with AcrA, a Membrane Fusion Protein of the AcrAB-ToIC Multidrug Efflux Pump SO ACS INFECTIOUS DISEASES LA English DT Article DE Gram-negative bacteria; antibiotic resistance; hyperporinated outer membrane; efflux pump inhibitors ID GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA; ESCHERICHIA-COLI; PSEUDOMONAS-AERUGINOSA; TOLC; IDENTIFICATION; SYSTEM; TRANSPORTERS; FLEXIBILITY; COMPLEXES; MECHANISM AB Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to human welfare. Inhibitors of multidrug efflux pumps (EPIs) are promising alternative therapeutics that could revive activities of antibiotics and reduce bacterial virulence. Identification of new druggable sites for inhibition is critical for the development of effective EPIs, especially in light of constantly emerging resistance. Here, we describe EPIs that interact with periplasmic membrane fusion proteins, critical components of efflux pumps that are responsible for the activation of the transporter and the recruitment of the outer-membrane channel. The discovered EPIs bind to AcrA, a component of the prototypical AcrAB-ToIC pump, change its structure in vivo, inhibit efflux of fluorescent probes, and potentiate the activities of antibiotics in Escherichia cob and other Gram-negative bacteria. Our findings expand the chemical and mechanistic diversity of EPIs, suggest the mechanism for regulation of the efflux pump assembly and activity, and provide a promising path for reviving the activities of antibiotics in resistant bacteria.

The switch-on of the transient plasmon mode, governed by the GaAs effective electron mass and electron phonon interactions, is revealed by structured-optical pump THz probe spectroscopy, on a time scale of 500 fs. By modulating the carrier density using different pump fluences, we observe a wide tuning of the electric dipole resonance of the transient GaAs metasurface from 0.5 THz to 1.7 THz. Furthermore, we numerically demonstrate that the metasurface presented here can be generalized to more complex architectures for realizing functionalities such as perfect absorption, leading to a 30 dB modulation depth. The platform also provides a pathway to achieve ultrafast manipulation of infrared beams in the linear and, potentially, nonlinear regime.

Laser crystallization has been recently demonstrated for crystallizing amorphous silicon fibers into crystalline form. Here we explore the underlying mechanism by which long single-crystal silicon fibers, which are novel platforms for silicon photonics, can be achieved by this process. Using finite element modeling, we construct a laser processing diagram that reveals a parameter space within which single crystals can be grown. Utilizing this diagram, we illustrate the creation of single-crystal silicon core fibers by laser crystallizing amorphous silicon deposited inside silica capillary fibers by high-pressure chemical vapor deposition. The single crystal fibers, up to 5.1 mm long, have a very well-defined core/cladding interface and a chemically pure silicon core that leads to very low optical losses down to similar to 0.47-1 dB/cm at the standard telecommunication wavelength (1550 nm). It also exhibits a photosensitivity that is comparable to bulk silicon. Creating such laser processing diagrams can provide a general framework for developing single-crystal fibers in other materials of technological importance.

Here, we theoretically study the optical gradient force arising from the coupling of surface plasmon modes on parallel graphene sheets, which can be several orders stronger than that between regular dielectric waveguides. Furthermore, with an energy functional optimization model, possible force-induced deformation of graphene sheets is calculated. We show that the significantly enhanced optical gradient force may lead to mechanical state transitions of graphene sheets, which are accompanied by abrupt changes in reflection and transmission spectra of the system. Our demonstrations illustrate the potential for broader graphene-related applications such as force sensors and actuators.

The HEDM X-ray diffraction technique, which allows for non-destructive 3D microstructure measurements via serial reconstructions of 2D diffraction patterns, is briefly reviewed. Design attributes of a custom planar biaxial load frame and a new cruciform sample geometry for in situ HEDM experimentation are presented in detail. During the HEDM measurements, this new planar biaxial platform is capable of arbitrary combinations of tension and compression loading for studying full plane stress yield loci while localized gage stresses up to 1.8 GPa are generated with minimal influence from the cruciform geometry stress concentrations. The combination of these experimental capabilities demonstrates an ability to solve a long-standing problem of planar biaxial experimentation on nonlinear materials with unknown constitutive relations: how to measure the gage stress. Finite element results for isotropic elasticity are compared with classical plane stress analysis and digital image correlation (DIC) measurements, and all were found to be in good agreement.

Enacted stigma (overt negative actions) against sexual minorities may play an important role in increasing HIV risk among this population. Using data from the 2011 National HIV Behavioral Surveillance system, MSM cycle, we examined the independent associations between three measures of enacted stigma (verbal harassment, discrimination, physical assault) and engagement in each of four HIV-related risk behaviors as outcomes: condomless anal intercourse (CAI) at last sex with a male partner of HIV discordant or unknown status and, in the past 12 months, CAI with a male partner, >= 4 male sex partners, and exchange sex. Of 9819 MSM, 32% experienced verbal harassment in the past 12 months, 23% experienced discrimination, and 8% experienced physical assault. Discordant CAI at last sex with a male partner was associated with previous discrimination and physical assault. Past 12 month CAI with a male partner, >= 4 male sex partners, and exchange sex were each associated with verbal harassment, discrimination, and physical assault. These findings indicate that a sizable proportion of MSM report occurrences of past 12 month enacted stigma and suggest that these experiences may be associated with HIV-related risk behavior. Addressing stigma towards sexual minorities must involve an integrated, multi-faceted approach, including interventions at the individual, community, and societal level.

Results from DUSTRAN simulations run with historical meteorological data were compared against privately-measured chloride data at the near coastal Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) and the Environmental Protection Agency-measured CASTNET data from Acadia National Park (NP). The comparisons have provided both encouragement as to the practical value of DUSTRAN's CALPUFF model and suggestions for further software development opportunities. All modeled concentrations were within one order of magnitude of those measured and a few test cases showed excellent agreement between modeled and measured concentrations. However, there is a lack of consistency which may be due to inaccurate extrapolation of meteorological data, underlying model physics, and the source term. Future research will refine the software to better capture physical phenomena. Overall, results indicate that with parameter refinement, DUSTRAN has the potential to simulate atmospheric chloride transport from known sources to inland sites for the purpose of determining the corrosion susceptibility of various structures, systems, and components (SSC) at near coastal sites, and for other relevant air quality studies.

TI First upper limits on the radar cross section of cosmic-ray induced extensive air showers SO ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Cosmic ray; Radar; Digital signal processing; Radar cross-section ID TELESCOPE ARRAY EXPERIMENT; COLLISION FREQUENCY; SURFACE DETECTOR; ELECTRONS; MOLECULES; SPECTRUM; PHOTONS AB TARA (Telescope Array Radar) is a cosmic ray radar detection experiment colocated with Telescope Array, the conventional surface scintillation detector (SD) and fluorescence telescope detector (FD) near Delta, Utah, U.S.A. The TARA detector combines a 40 kW, 54.1 MHz VHF transmitter and high-gain transmitting antenna which broadcasts the radar carrier over the SD array and within the FD field of view, towards a 250 MS/s DAQ receiver. TARA has been collecting data since 2013 with the primary goal of observing the radar signatures of extensive air showers (EAS). Simulations indicate that echoes are expected to be short in duration (similar to 10 mu s) and exhibit rapidly changing frequency, with rates on the order 1 MHz/mu s. The EAS radar cross-section (RCS) is currently unknown although it is the subject of over 70 years of speculation. A novel signal search technique is described in which the expected radar echo of a particular air shower is used as a matched filter template and compared to waveforms obtained by triggering the radar DAQ using the Telescope Array fluorescence detector. No evidence for the scattering of radio frequency radiation by EAS is obtained to date. We report the first quantitative RCS upper limits using EAS that triggered the Telescope Array Fluorescence Detector. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 [Abbasi, R.

Here we present the results of a 2.4 Ms NuSTAR observing campaign aimed at studying the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A). We perform spatially resolved spectroscopic analyses of the Ti-44 ejecta, which we use to determine the Doppler shift and thus the three-dimensional (3D) velocities of the 44Ti ejecta. We find an initial Ti-44 mass of (1.54 +/- 0.21) x 10(-4) M-circle dot, which has a present-day average momentum direction of 340 degrees +/- 15 degrees projected onto the plane of the sky (measured clockwise from celestial north) and is tilted by 58 degrees +/- 20 degrees into the plane of the sky away from the observer, roughly opposite to the inferred direction of motion of the central compact object. We find some Ti-44 ejecta that are clearly interior to the reverse shock and some that are clearly exterior to it. Where we observe Ti-44 ejecta exterior to the reverse shock we also see shock-heated iron; however, there are regions where we see iron but do not observe Ti-44. This suggests that the local conditions of the supernova shock during explosive nucleosynthesis varied enough to suppress the production of Ti-44 by at least a factor of two in some regions, even in regions that are assumed to be the result of processes like alpha-rich freezeout that should produce both iron and titanium.

In this spatial regime, small building blocks self-organise to form large, functional structures. A comprehensive set of rules governing mesoscale self-organisation has not been established, making the prediction of many cell behaviours difficult, if not impossible. Our knowledge of mesoscale biology comes from experimental data, in particular, imaging. Here, we explore the application of soft X-ray tomography (SXT) to imaging the mesoscale, and describe the structural insights this technology can generate. We also discuss how SXT imaging is complemented by the addition of correlative fluorescence data measured from the same cell. This combination of two discrete imaging modalities produces a 3D view of the cell that blends high-resolution structural information with precise molecular localisation data.

This prompted increasing interest in developing advanced biofuels with higher energy density to substitute fossil fuels and bio-alkane has gained attention as an ideal drop-in fuel candidate. Production of alkanes in bacteria has been widely studied but studies on the utilization of the robust yeast host, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, for alkane biosynthesis have been lacking. In this proof-of-principle study, we present the unprecedented engineering of S. cerevisiae for conversion of free fatty acids to alkanes. A fatty acid a-dioxygenase from Oryza sativa (rice) was expressed in S. cerevisiae to transform C12-18 free fatty acids to C11-17 aldehydes. Co-expression of a cyanobacterial aldehyde deformylating oxygenase converted the aldehydes to the desired alkanes. We demonstrated the versatility of the pathway by performing whole-cell biocatalytic conversion of exogenous free fatty acid feedstocks into alkanes as well as introducing the pathway into a free fatty acid overproducer for de novo production of alkanes from simple sugar. The results from this work are anticipated to advance the development of yeast hosts for alkane production. (C) 2016 The Authors. Biotechnology and Bioengineering Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An efficient sampling algorithm and generalized linear model are used to explore the multiple-dimensional parameter space and quantify the parametric sensitivity of simulated turbine-height wind speeds. The results indicate that most of the variability in the ensemble simulations is due to parameters related to the dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), Prandtl number, turbulent length scales, surface roughness, and the von Karman constant. The parameter associated with the TKE dissipation rate is found to be most important, and a larger dissipation rate produces larger hub-height wind speeds. A larger Prandtl number results in smaller nighttime wind speeds. Increasing surface roughness reduces the frequencies of both extremely weak and strong airflows, implying a reduction in the variability of wind speed. All of the above parameters significantly affect the vertical profiles of wind speed and the magnitude of wind shear. The relative contributions of individual parameters are found to be dependent on both the terrain slope and atmospheric stability.

In some countries it will be an essential part of low-carbon electricity; in others it will contribute only marginally. While Asian countries plan to have a growing reliance on nuclear power, European nations expect it to play a diminishing but still necessary role. Yet, although each country has different plans and faces different obstacles, the main requirement for carrying out nuclear plans will be the establishment of a cooperative safety culture agreed to by as many nations as possible.

Small strains of just a few percent are typical in the metal during processing of seals, but generate substantial tensile stresses in the glass during the solidification portion of the process. These tensile stresses can lead to glass cracking either immediately or over time, which results in a loss of hermiticity of the seal. Measurement of the metal in the small strain region needs to be very accurate as small differences in the evolving state of the metal have significant influence on the stress state in the glass and glass-metal interfaces. Small strain tensile experiments were conducted over the temperatures range of 25-800 degrees C. Experiments were designed to quantify stress relaxation and reloading combined with mid-test thermal changes. The effect of strain rate was measured by directly varying the applied strain rate during initial loading and reloading and by monitoring the material response during stress relaxation experiments. Coupled thermal mechanical experiments were developed to capture key features of glass-to-metal seal processing details such as synchronized thermal and mechanical loading, thermal excursions at various strain levels, and thermal cycling during stress relaxation or creep loadings. Small changes in the processing cycle parameters were found to have non-insignificant effect on the metal behavior. The resulting data and findings will be presented.

Experiments on PEEK and PC below the glass-transition temperature indicate a back stress that may evolve with plastic deformation, and which is substantially different from that seen during the response in the rubbery range. In particular, the back stress during the response of PC shows the characteristic post-yield softening, possibly indicating that the observed post-yield softening in the response comes from the back stress. This is not seen in PEEK, which also shows no substantial post-yield softening. The equilibrium stress plays a central role in modeling both the quasi-static and dynamic response of PEEK.

It refers to the tobacco-related gases and particles that become embedded in materials, such as the carpet, walls, furniture, blankets, and toys. THS is not strictly smoke, but chemicals that adhere to surfaces from which they can be released back into the air, undergo chemical transformations and/or accumulate. Currently, the hazards of THS are not as well documented as the hazards of secondhand smoke (SHS). In this Perspective, we describe the distribution and chemical changes that occur as SHS is transformed into THS, studies of environmental contamination by THS; human exposure studies, toxicology studies using animal models and in vitro systems, possible approaches for avoiding exposure, remediation of THS contamination, and priorities for further research.

Although solved routinely in the course of power grid operations, it is known to be strongly NP-hard in general, and weakly NP-hard over tree networks. In this paper, we formulate the optimal power flow problem over tree networks as an inference problem over a tree-structured graphical model where the nodal variables are low-dimensional vectors. We adapt the standard dynamic programming algorithm for inference over a tree-structured graphical model to the OPF problem. Combining this with an interval discretization of the nodal variables, we develop an approximation algorithm for the OPF problem. Further, we use techniques from constraint programming (CP) to perform interval computations and adaptive bound propagation to obtain practically efficient algorithms. Compared to previous algorithms that solve OPF with optimality guarantees using convex relaxations, our approach is able to work for arbitrary tree-structured distribution networks and handle mixed-integer optimization problems. Further, it can be implemented in a distributed message-passing fashion that is scalable and is suitable for "smart grid" applications like control of distributed energy resources. Numerical evaluations on several benchmark networks show that practical OPF problems can be solved effectively using this approach.

The Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Study focuses specifically on aquatic nuisance species movement through the Chicago Area Waterway System, a multi-use waterway connecting the two basins. In support of Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Study, we conducted a qualitative risk assessment for 33 aquatic nuisance species over a 50-year period of analysis based on the probability of aquatic nuisance species establishing in a new basin and the environmental, economic, and sociopolitical consequences of their establishment. Probability of establishment and consequences of establishment were assigned qualitative ratings of high, medium, or low after considering the species' current location, mobility, habitat suitability, and impacts in previously invaded systems. The establishment and consequence ratings were then combined into an overall risk rating. Seven species were characterized as posing a medium risk and two species as posing a high risk to the Mississippi River Basin. Three species were characterized as posing a medium risk to the Great Lakes Basin, but no high-risk species were identified for this basin. Risk increased over time for some aquatic nuisance species based on the time frame in which these species were considered likely to establish in the new basin. Both species traits and the need to balance multiple uses of the Chicago Area Waterway System must be considered when identifying control measures to prevent aquatic nuisance species movement between the two basins.

Tests were conducted under uniaxial compression, tension, pure shear and combinations of normal and shear stresses. Quasi-static and intermediate strain rate tests were conducted in a servohydraulic testing machine. High strain rate tests were conducted using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (Kolsky bar) system made of polycarbonate bars having an impedance compatible to that of the foam material. The typical compressive stressstrain behavior of the polymeric foam exhibits a linear elastic region up to a yield point, a nonlinear elastic-plastic region up to an initial peak or "critical stress" corresponding to collapse initiation of the cells, followed by strain softening up to a local minimum (plateau or saddle point stress) and finally, a strain hardening region up to densification of the foam. The characteristic stresses of the stress-strain behavior vary linearly with the logarithm of strain rate. A general threedimensional elastic-viscoplastic model, formulated in strain space, was proposed. The model expresses the multi-axial state of stress in terms of an effective stress, incorporates strain rate effects and includes the large deformation region. Stressstrain curves obtained under multi-axial loading at different strain rates were used to develop and validate the elasticviscoplastic constitutive model. Excellent agreement was shown between model predictions and experimental results. C1 [Daniel, I. M.; Fenner, J.

Quasi-static compression was performed to obtain the stress-strain behavior of the foams. The stress-strain relation is nonlinear, but typically there is a small range of linear behavior initially. Compressive cyclic loading at different amplitudes and frequencies of interest (20-60 Hz) were applied to measure foam's hysteresis properties, i. e. stiffness and energy dissipation. The cyclic characterization includes foams with different amount of pre-strains, some are beyond the initial linear range as occurred in many applications.

Over time polymers can suffer from aging by becoming stiffer and more brittle. This change in stiffness can affect the foam's performance in a low velocity impact event. In this study, the compressive properties of new open-cell flexible polyurethane foam were compared to those obtained from aged open-cell polyurethane foam that had been in service for approximately 25 years. The foams tested had densities of 10 and 15 pcf. These low density foams provided a significant challenge to machine cylindrical compression specimens that were 1 "in height and 1" in diameter. Details of the machining process are discussed. The compressive properties obtained for both aged and new foams included testing at various strain rates (0.05. 0.10, 5 s(-1)) and temperatures (-54, RT, 74 degrees C). Results show that aging of flexible polyurethane foam does not have much of an effect on its compressive properties.

To this end, Semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SiDIS) experiments on polarized He-3 will be carried out, providing, together with proton and deuteron data, a sound flavor decomposition of the TMDs. Given the expected high statistical accuracy, it is crucial to disentangle nuclear and partonic degrees of freedom to get an accurate theoretical description of both initial and final states. In this contribution, a preliminary study of the Final State Interaction (FSI) in the standard SiDIS, where a pion (or a Kaon) is detected in the final state is presented, in view of constructing a realistic description of the nuclear initial and final states.

Theta(0) := T-mu mu not equal 0. Measured in the proton, this anomaly yields m(p)(2), where m(p) is the proton's mass; but, at the same time, when computed in the pion, the answer is m(pi)(2) = 0. Any attempt to understand the origin and nature of mass, and identify observable expressions thereof, must explain and unify these two apparently contradictory results, which are fundamental to the nature of our Universe. Given the importance of Poincare-invariance in modern physics, the utility of a frame-dependent approach to this problem seems limited. That is especially true of any approach tied to a rest-frame decomposition of T-mu nu because a massless particle does not possess a rest-frame. On the other hand, the dynamical chiral symmetry breaking paradigm, connected with a Poincare-covariant treatment of the continuum bound-state problem, provides a straightforward, simultaneous explanation of both these identities, and also a diverse array of predictions, testable at existing and proposed facilities. From this perspective, = 0 owing to exact, symmetry-driven cancellations which occur between one-body dressing effects and two-body-irreducible binding interactions in any well-defined computation of the forward scattering amplitude that defines this expectation value in the pseudoscalar meson. The cancellation is incomplete in any other hadronic bound state, with a remainder whose scale is set by the size of one-body dressing effects.

The phenotypic consequences of aneuploidy are believed to arise from gene expression changes associated with the altered copy number of genes on the aneuploid chromosomes. To dissect the mechanisms underlying altered gene expression in aneuploids, we used RNA-seq to measure transcript abundance in colonies of the haploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain F45 and two aneuploid derivatives harboring disomies of chromosomes XV and XVI. F45 colonies display complex "fluffy" morphologies, while the disomic colonies are smooth, resembling laboratory strains. Our two disomes displayed similar transcriptional profiles, a phenomenon not driven by their shared smooth colony morphology nor simply by their karyotype. Surprisingly, the environmental stress response (ESR) was induced in F45, relative to the two disomes. We also identified genes whose expression reflected a nonlinear interaction between the copy number of a transcriptional regulatory gene on chromosome XVI, DIG1, and the copy number of other chromosome XVI genes. DIG1 and the remaining chromosome XVI genes also demonstrated distinct contributions to the effect of the chromosome XVI disome on ESR gene expression. Expression changes in aneuploids appear to reflect a mixture of effects shared between different aneuploidies and effects unique to perturbing the copy number of particular chromosomes, including nonlinear copy number interactions between genes. The balance between these two phenomena is likely to be genotype-and environment-specific.

Unlike existing model reduction methods, the external system does not need to be linearized but is directly dealt with as a nonlinear system. A transformation is found to balance the controllability and observability covariances in order to determine which states have the greatest contribution to the input-output behavior. The original system model is then reduced by Galerkin projection based on this transformation. The proposed method is tested and validated on a system comprised of a 16-machine 68-bus system and an IEEE 50-machine 145-bus system. The results show that by using the proposed model reduction the calculation efficiency can be greatly improved; at the same time, the obtained state trajectories are close to those for directly simulating the whole system or partitioning the system while not performing reduction. Compared with the balanced truncation method based on a linearized model, the proposed nonlinear model reduction method can guarantee higher accuracy and similar calculation efficiency. It is shown that the proposed method is not sensitive to the choice of the matrices for calculating the empirical covariances.

An optimal dynamic var source placement method addressing fault-induced delayed voltage recovery (FIDVR) issues is further formulated as an optimization problem that maximizes the determinant of ECC. The optimization problem is effectively solved by the NOMAD solver, which implements the mesh adaptive direct search algorithm. The proposed method is tested on an NPCC 140-bus system and the results show that the proposed method with fault specified ECC can solve the FIDVR issue caused by the most severe contingency with fewer dynamic var sources than the voltage sensitivity index (VSI)-based method. The proposed method with fault unspecified ECC does not depend on the settings of the contingency and can address more FIDVR issues than the VSI method when placing the same number of SVCs under different fault durations. It is also shown that the proposed method can help mitigate voltage collapse. C1 [Qi, Junjian] Argonne Natl Lab, Div Energy Syst, 9700 S Cass Ave, Argonne, IL 60439 USA.

For other OPF problems where the SDP relaxation only provides a lower bound on the objective value rather than the globally optimal decision variables, recent literature has proposed a penalization approach to find feasible points that are often nearly globally optimal. A disadvantage of this penalization approach is the need to specify penalty parameters. This paper presents an alternative approach that algorithmically determines a penalization appropriate for many OPF problems. The proposed approach constrains the generation cost to be close to the lower bound from the SDP relaxation. The objective function is specified using iteratively determined weights for a Laplacian matrix. This approach yields feasible points to the OPF problem that are guaranteed to have objective values near the global optimum due to the constraint on generation cost. The proposed approach is demonstrated on both small OPF problems and a variety of large test cases representing portions of European power systems.

In markets such as ISO New England, a dispatch range for each wind farm is determined based on security analysis. Wind power will be fully absorbed unless it is out of the ranges. This approach, though aiming at improving wind utilization with system security considered, relies solely on wind power forecasting, which could be inaccurate by nature, and might result in unnecessary wind curtailment. In our work, we recognize the discrepancy between wind power forecast and the actual wind power dispatched and develop a data-driven approach to better capture the uncertainties in wind power dispatch. The computational experiments demonstrate that the dispatch ranges determined by our data-driven approach can dispatch more wind without endangering the system security and that solution is also efficient.

The use of gas-fired generators for peak load and reserve provision causes high intraday variability in withdrawals from high-pressure gas transmission systems. Such variability can lead to gas price fluctuations and supply disruptions that affect electric generator dispatch, electricity prices, and threaten the security of power systems and gas pipelines. These infrastructures function on vastly different spatio-temporal scales, which prevents current practices for separate operations and market clearing from being coordinated. In this paper, we apply new techniques for control of dynamic gas flows on pipeline networks to examine day-ahead scheduling of electric generator dispatch and gas compressor operation for different levels of integration, spanning from separate forecasting, and simulation to combined optimal control. We formulate multiple coordination scenarios and develop tractable physically accurate computational implementations. These scenarios are compared using an integrated model of test networks for power and gas systems with 24 nodes and 24 pipes, respectively, which are coupled through gas-fired generators. The analysis quantifies the economic efficiency and security benefits of gas-electric coordination and dynamic gas system operation.

TI Ensuring Profitability of Energy Storage SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON POWER SYSTEMS LA English DT Article DE Bilevel optimization; distributed energy storage; energy storage investment; energy storage profitability; power system economics; power system planning; storage siting; storage sizing; wind power generation ID POWER; GENERATION AB Energy storage (ES) is a pivotal technology for dealing with the challenges caused by the integration of renewable energy sources. It is expected that a decrease in the capital cost of storage will eventually spur the deployment of large amounts of ES. These devices will provide transmission services, such as spatiotemporal energy arbitrage, i.e., storing surplus energy from intermittent renewable sources for later use by loads while reducing the congestion in the transmission network. This paper proposes a bilevel program that determines the optimal location and size of storage devices to perform this spatiotemporal energy arbitrage. This method aims to simultaneously reduce the system-wide operating cost and the cost of investments in ES while ensuring that merchant storage devices collect sufficient profits to fully recover their investment cost. The usefulness of the proposed method is illustrated using a representative case study of the ISO New England system with a prospective wind generation portfolio.

In this regard, a robust risk-constrained unit commitment (RRUC) formulation is proposed to cope with large-scale volatile and uncertain wind generation. Differing from existing RUC formulations, the wind generation uncertainty set in RRUC is adjustable via choosing diverse levels of operational risk. By optimizing the uncertainty set, RRUC can allocate operational flexibility of power systems over spatial and temporal domains optimally, reducing operational cost in a risk-constrained manner. Moreover, since impact of wind generation realization out of the prescribed uncertainty set on operational risk is taken into account, RRUC outperforms RUC in the case of rare events. The traditional column and constraint generation (C&CG) and two algorithms based on C&CG are adopted to solve the RRUC. As the proposed algorithms are quite general, they can also apply to other RUC models to improve their computational efficiency. Simulations on a modified IEEE 118-bus system demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed methodology.

In this paper, we propose a transactive control approach of commercial building heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems for demand response. We first describe the system models, and identify their model parameters using data collected from systems engineering building (SEB) located on our Pacific Northwest National Laboratory campus. We next present a transactive control market structure for commercial building HVAC systems, and describe its agent bidding and market clearing strategies. Several case studies are performed in a simulation environment using building controls virtual test bed (BCVTB) and calibrated SEB EnergyPlus model. We show that the proposed transactive control approach is very effective at peak shaving, load shifting, and strategic conservation for commercial building HVAC systems.

These theorems start with fundamental properties of betweenness, proceed through the derivations of several famous theorems due to Gupta and end with the derivation from Tarski's axioms of Hilbert's 1899 axioms for geometry. They include the four challenge problems left unsolved by Quaife, who two decades ago found some OTTER proofs in Tarskian geometry (solving challenges issued in Wos's 1998 book). There are 212 theorems in this collection. We were able to find OTTER proofs of all these theorems. We developed a methodology for the automated preparation and checking of the input files for those theorems, to ensure that no human error has corrupted the formal development of an entire theory as embodied in two hundred input files and proofs. We distinguish between proofs that were found completely mechanically (without reference to the steps of a book proof) and proofs that were constructed by some technique that involved a human knowing the steps of a book proof. Proofs of length 40-100, roughly speaking, are difficult exercises for a human, and proofs of 100-250 steps belong in a Ph.D. thesis or publication. 29 of the proofs in our collection are longer than 40 steps, and ten are longer than 90 steps. We were able to derive completely mechanically all but 26 of the 183 theorems that have "short" proofs (40 or fewer deduction steps). We found proofs of the rest, as well as the 29 "hard" theorems, using a method that requires consulting the book proof at the outset. Our "subformula strategy" enabled us to prove four of the 29 hard theorems completely mechanically. These are Ph.D. level proofs, of length up to 108.

Few studies have been conducted on the rates of E. coli transfer from streambed sediment to water column in low-flow conditions in natural streams. The aim of this work was to apply the watershed-scale model SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) to a natural stream to evaluate the need to account for the E. coli release from streambed sediments during baseflow periods and to compare the results of simulating such a release by assuming predominantly passive transport, driven by groundwater influx, against simulations assuming predominantly active transport of random or chemotaxis-driven bacteria movement. Escherichia coli concentrations in water during baseflow periods were substantially underestimated when E. coli release from the streambed was attributed only to streambed sediment resuspension. When considered in addition to the release due to sediment resuspension at high flows, the active and passive release assumptions provided 42 and 4% improvement, respectively, in the RMSE of logarithms of E. coli concentrations. Estimated E. coli fluxes to water column during the baseflow periods from June to November ranged from 3.3 x 105 colony-forming units (CFU) m(-2) d(-1) in the game land area to 1.4 x 10(6) CFU m(-2) d(-1) in the mixed pasture and cropland. Results demonstrate that release of E. coli from streambed sediments during baseflow periods is substantial and that water column E. coli concentrations are dependent on not only land management practices but also on in-stream processes.

Setting and Participants: We studied 257 active-duty patients with a history of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) who completed multidisciplinary outpatient treatment at Brooke Army Medical Center TBI Clinic from 2008 to 2013. This treatment program included cognitive rehabilitation; vestibular interventions; headache management; and integrated behavioral healthcare to address co-occurring psychiatric conditions such as PTSD, depression, and sleep disturbance. Design: A 1-group; preexperimental, pre- to posttreatment study. Main Measures: The Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI) was used to assess PPCSs, and the PTSD Checklist-Military Version (PCL-M) was used to asses PTSD symptoms. Results: Global PPCS resolution (mean NSI: 35.0 pre vs 23.8 post; P < .0001; d = 0.72) and PTSD symptom resolution (mean PCL-M: 43.2 pre vs 37.7 post; P < .0001; d = 0.34) were statistically significant. Compared with those with only mTBI, patients with mTBI and PTSD reported greater global PPCS impairment both pretreatment (mean NSI: 48.7 vs 27.9; P < .0001) and posttreatment (mean NSI: 36.2 vs 17.4; P < .0001). After adjusting for pretreatment NSI scores, patients with comorbid PTSD reported poorer PPCS resolution than those with mTBI alone (mean NSI: 27.9 pre vs 21.7 post; P = .0009). Conclusion: We found a reduction in both self-reported PPCSs and PTSD symptoms; however, future studies are needed to identify specific components of care associated with symptom reduction.

All analyzed nanocrystals had a spherical morphology with diameters in the range of 2 to 32 nm. The luminescence maxima of CH3NH3PbBr3-xIx nanocrystals were tuned to wavelengths ranging between 498 and 740 nm by varying the halide loading. Both CH3NH3PbI3 and CH3NH3PbBr3 nanocrystals exhibited no luminescence intermittency for more than 90% of the 250 s analysis time, as defined by a luminescence intensity three standard deviations above the background. The mixed halide CH3NH3PbBr0.75I0.25, CH3NH3PbBr0.50I0.50, and CH3NH3PbBr0.25I0.75 nanocrystals exhibited luminescence intermittency in 18%, 4% and 26% of the nanocrystals, respectively. Irrespective of luminescence intermittency, luminescence intensities were classified for each nanocrystal as: (a) constant, (b) multimodal, (c) photobrightening, and (d) photobleaching. Based on their photophysics, the CH3NH3PbBr3-xIx nanocrystals can be expected to be useful in a wide-range of applications where low and non-intermittent luminescence is desirable, for example as imaging probes and in films for energy conversion devices.

TI Large-Scale Optimization-Based Non-negative Computational Framework for Diffusion Equations: Parallel Implementation and Performance Studies SO JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING LA English DT Article DE High performance computing; Anisotropic diffusion; Maximum principles; Non-negative constraint; Large-scale optimization ID MAXIMUM-PRINCIPLES; CONSTRAINT; MODEL; ROOFLINE AB It is well-known that the standard Galerkin formulation, which is often the formulation of choice under the finite element method for solving self-adjoint diffusion equations, does not meet maximum principles and the non-negative constraint for anisotropic diffusion equations. Recently, optimization-based methodologies that satisfy maximum principles and the non-negative constraint for steady-state and transient diffusion-type equations have been proposed. To date, these methodologies have been tested only on small-scale academic problems. The purpose of this paper is to systematically study the performance of the non-negative methodology in the context of high performance computing (HPC). PETSc and TAO libraries are, respectively, used for the parallel environment and optimization solvers. For large-scale problems, it is important for computational scientists to understand the computational performance of current algorithms available in these scientific libraries. The numerical experiments are conducted on the state-of-the-art HPC systems, and a single-core performance model is used to better characterize the efficiency of the solvers. Our studies indicate that the proposed non-negative computational framework for diffusion-type equations exhibits excellent strong scaling for real-world large-scale problems. This figure shows the fate of chromium after 180 days using the single-field Galerkin formulation. The white regions indicate the violation of the non-negative constraint. [GRAPHICS] .

This process, more commonly known as 'cratonization', is driven by deep crustal melting with the transfer of those melts to shallower regions resulting in a strongly chemically stratified crust, with a refractory, dehydrated lower portion overlain by a complementary enriched upper portion. Since the lower to mid portions of continental crust are rarely exposed, investigation of the cratonization process must be through indirect methods. In this study we use in situ Hf and O isotope compositions of both magmatic and inherited zircons from several felsic magmatic suites in the Capricorn Orogen of Western Australia to highlight the differentiation history (i.e. cratonization) of this portion of late Archean to Proterozoic orogenic crust. The Capricorn Orogen shows a distinct tectonomagmatic history that evolves from an active continental margin through to intracratonic reworking, ultimately leading to thermally stable crust that responds similarly to the bounding Archean Pilbara and Yilgarn Cratons. The majority of magmatic zircons from the main magmatic cycles have Hf isotopic compositions that are generally more evolved than CHUR, forming vertical arrays that extend to moderately radiogenic compositions. Complimentary O isotope data, also show a significant variation in composition. However, combined, these data define not only the source components from which the magmas were derived, but also a range of physio-chemical processes that operated during magma transport and emplacement. These data also identify a previously unknown crustal reservoir in the Capricorn Orogen. Crown Copyright (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Nonlinear Acoustic Testing for Concrete Materials Evaluation SO MATERIALS EVALUATION LA English DT Article DE nonlinear acoustics; resonant ultrasound spectroscopy; scaling subtraction method; dynamic acousto-elastic testing; concrete; microcracking ID CODA WAVE INTERFEROMETRY; PROPAGATION; ELASTICITY; ROCK AB This paper summarizes the results of three nonlinear acoustic tests performed on a series of stress-damaged concrete samples. The three tests were: nonlinear resonant "ultrasound" spectroscopy (NRUS), scaling subtraction method (SSM), and dynamic acousto-elastic testing (DAET). The test samples were cut out of a large concrete block emulating common field investigation scenarios, where the quality of an existing structure was examined at different locations. One sample was left intact while the others were pressed to 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, and 70% of the (nominal) ultimate compressive strength of their common concrete mixture. NRUS was performed on all samples, whereas SSM and DAET were conducted on a subset of samples. In addition, the conventional (linear) resonant "ultrasound" spectroscopy and ultrasonic pulse velocity measurements for all samples are reported. The authors present the theoretical background of nonlinear acoustic testing, discuss the principles and outcome of each test, and compare the corresponding results of linear and nonlinear acoustic techniques. The obtained results attest to the high sensitivity of nonlinear acoustic measurements (that is, estimated nonlinear elastic material parameters) to the presence of microcracks. While NRUS, SSM, and DAET clearly differentiate between intact and moderately damaged samples, neither linear wave velocities nor (linear) dynamic elastic moduli can reliably delineate undamaged and damaged concrete.

Recent advancements in mass spectrometry-based proteomic technologies have enabled global expression profiling at the protein level; however, whether proteome profiling data can outperform transcriptome profiling data for coexpression based gene function prediction has not been systematically investigated. Here, we address this question by constructing and analyzing mRNA and protein coexpression networks for three cancer types with matched mRNA and protein profiling data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC). Our analyses revealed a marked difference in wiring between the mRNA and protein coexpression networks. Whereas protein coexpression was driven primarily by functional similarity between coexpressed genes, mRNA coexpression was driven by both cofunction and chromosomal colocalization of the genes. Functionally coherent mRNA modules were more likely to have their edges preserved in corresponding protein networks than functionally incoherent mRNA modules. Proteomic data strengthened the link between gene expression and function for at least 75% of Gene Ontology (GO) biological processes and 90% of KEGG pathways. A web application Gene2Net (http://cptac.gene2net.org) developed based on the three protein coexpression networks revealed novel gene-function relationships, such as linking ERBB2 (HER2) to lipid biosynthetic process in breast cancer, identifying PLG as a new gene involved in complement activation, and identifying AEBP1 as a new epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) marker. Our results demonstrate that proteome profiling outperforms transcriptome profiling for coexpression based gene function prediction. Proteomics should be integrated if not preferred in gene function and human disease studies.

The bulk of development for atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) parameterization schemes has focused on land, partly because of a scarcity of observations over ocean. The 100-m FINO1 tower in the North Sea is one of the few sources worldwide of atmospheric profile observations from the sea surface to turbine hub height. These observations are crucial to developing a better understanding and modeling of physical processes in the marine ABL. In this study the WRF single-column model (SCM) is coupled with an ensemble Kalman filter from the Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART) to create 100-member ensembles at the FINO1 location. The goal of this study is to determine the extent to which model parameter estimation can improve offshore wind forecasts. Combining two datasets that provide lateral forcing for the SCM and two methods for determining z(0), the time-varying sea surface roughness length, four WRF-SCM/DART experiments are conducted during the October-December 2006 period. The two methods for determining z(0) are the default Fairall-adjusted Charnock formulation in WRF and use of the parameter estimation techniques to estimate z(0) in DART. Using DART to estimate z(0) is found to reduce 1-h forecast errors of wind speed over the Charnock-Fairall z(0) ensembles by 4%-22%. However, parameter estimation of z(0) does not simultaneously reduce turbulent flux forecast errors, indicating limitations of this approach and the need for new marine ABL parameterizations.

TI A Combinatorial Model for Dentate Gyrus Sparse Coding SO NEURAL COMPUTATION LA English DT Article ID ADULT NEUROGENESIS; PATTERN SEPARATION; ENTORHINAL CORTEX; GRANULE CELLS; GRID CELLS; HIPPOCAMPUS; MEMORY; STORAGE; DORSAL; SYSTEM AB The dentate gyrus forms a critical link between the entorhinal cortex and CA3 by providing a sparse version of the signal. Concurrent with this increase in sparsity, a widely accepted theory suggests the dentate gyrus performs pattern separationsimilar inputs yield decorrelated outputs. Although an active region of study and theory, few logically rigorous arguments detail the dentate gyrus's (DG) coding. We suggest a theoretically tractable, combinatorial model for this action. The model provides formal methods for a highly redundant, arbitrarily sparse, and decorrelated output signal.To explore the value of this model framework, we assess how suitable it is for two notable aspects of DG coding: how it can handle the highly structured grid cell representation in the input entorhinal cortex region and the presence of adult neurogenesis, which has been proposed to produce a heterogeneous code in the DG. We find tailoring the model to grid cell input yields expansion parameters consistent with the literature. In addition, the heterogeneous coding reflects activity gradation observed experimentally. Finally, we connect this approach with more conventional binary threshold neural circuit models via a formal embedding.

R. W. TI A reduced Iwan model that includes pinning for bolted joint mechanics SO NONLINEAR DYNAMICS LA English DT Article DE Joint mechanics; Iwan model; Pinning; Friction ID FRICTION; SYSTEMS AB Bolted joints are prevalent in most assembled structures; however, predictive models for their behavior do not exist. Calibrated models, such as the Iwan model, are able to predict the response of a jointed structure over a range of excitations once calibrated at a nominal load. The Iwan model, though, is not widely adopted due to the high computational expense of implementation. To address this, an analytical solution of the Iwan model is derived under the hypothesis that for an arbitrary load reversal, there is a new distribution of dry friction elements, which are now stuck, that approximately resemble a scaled version of the original distribution of dry friction elements. The dry friction elements internal to the Iwan model do not have a uniform set of parameters and are described by a distribution of parameters, i.e., which internal dry friction elements are stuck or slipping at a given load, that ultimately governs the behavior of the joint as it transitions from microslip to macroslip. This hypothesis allows the model to require no information from previous loading cycles. Additionally, the model is extended to include the pinning behavior inherent in a bolted joint. Modifications of the resulting framework are discussed to highlight how the constitutive model for friction can be changed (in the case of an Iwan-Stribeck formulation) or how the distribution of dry friction elements can be changed (as is the case for the Iwan plasticity model). The reduced Iwan plus pinning model is then applied to the Brake-Reu beam in order to discuss methods to deduce model parameters from experimental data. C1 [Brake, M. R.

TI Optical damage performance of conductive widegap semiconductors: spatial, temporal, and lifetime modeling SO OPTICAL MATERIALS EXPRESS LA English DT Article ID LASER-DAMAGE; THIN-FILM; THRESHOLD; PULSES; MECHANISMS; INCUBATION; GAN; NM AB The optical damage performance of electrically conductive gallium nitride (GaN) and indium tin oxide (ITO) films is addressed using large area, high power laser beam exposures at 1064 nm sub-bandgap wavelength. Analysis of the laser damage process assumes that onset of damage (threshold) is determined by the absorption and heating of a nanoscale region of a characteristic size reaching a critical temperature. This model is used to rationalize semi-quantitatively the pulse width scaling of the damage threshold from picosecond to nanosecond timescales, along with the pulse width dependence of the damage threshold probability derived by fitting large beam damage density data. Multi-shot exposures were used to address lifetime performance degradation described by an empirical expression based on the single exposure damage model. A damage threshold degradation of at least 50% was observed for both materials. Overall, the GaN films tested had 5-10x higher optical damage thresholds than the ITO films tested for comparable transmission and electrical conductivity. The route to optically robust, large aperture transparent electrodes and power optoelectronics may thus involve use of next generation widegap semiconductors such as GaN.

TI Effect of doping and chemical ordering on the optoelectronic properties of complex oxides: Fe2O3-V2O3 solid solutions and hetero-structures SO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID DENSITY-FUNCTIONAL THEORY; PHOTOELECTROCHEMICAL PROPERTIES; HEMATITE ALPHA-FE2O3; CLUSTER CALCULATIONS; METAL-OXIDES; WATER; ABSORPTION; FILMS; TIO2; NITROGEN AB The electronic and optical properties of alpha-(Fe1-xVx)(2)O-3 at low (x = 0.04) and high (x = 0.5) doping levels are investigated using a combination of periodic and embedded cluster approaches, and time-dependent density functional theory. At low V concentrations the onset of the optical absorption is similar to 0.5 eV (i.e., nearly 1.6 eV lower than that in pure alpha-Fe2O3) and corresponds to the electron transitions from V 3d to Fe 3d* orbitals. At high V concentrations, optical absorption energies and intensities are sensitive to specific arrangements of Fe and V atoms and their spin configuration that determine Fe-V hybridization. The onset of the lowest inter-vanadium absorption band in the case of Fe2O3/V2O3 hetero-structures is as low as similar to 0.3 eV and the corresponding peak is at similar to 0.7 eV. In contrast, in the case of solid solutions this peak has lower intensity and is shifted to higher energy (similar to 1.2 eV). Analysis of the orbital character of electronic excitation suggests that Fe2O3/V2O3 hetero-structures absorb light much more effectively than random alloys, thus promoting efficient photo-induced carrier generation. These predictions can be tested in alpha-(Fe1-xVx)(2)O-3 thin films synthesized with well-controlled spatial distribution of Fe and V species.

In cuprous oxide (Cu2O) there is no luminescence from electron-hole plasma. Therefore, we searched for optical phonons emitted by energetic charge carriers using phonon-to-exciton upconversion transitions. We found 14 meV phonons with a lifetime of 0.916 +/- 0.008 ps and 79 meV phonons that are longer lived and overrepresented. It is surprising that the higher energy phonon has a longer lifetime.

TI Novel multiferroic state and ME enhancement by breaking the AFM frustration in LuMn1-xO3 SO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID HEXAGONAL MANGANITES; WEAK FERROMAGNETISM; LUMNO3; FERROELECTRICITY; ANOMALIES; ORIGIN AB This study provides a comprehensive insight into the effects of controlled off-stoichiometry on the structural and multiferroic properties of the hexagonal manganite LuMn1-xO3+delta (x = 0.02; delta similar to 0), supported by neutron powder diffraction measurements confirming single phase P6(3)cm symmetry and evidencing a relevant ferromagnetic component, below T-N similar to 90 K, which breaks the archetypal geometrically frustrated antiferromagnetic state typically ascribed to LuMnO3. The perturbations in the triangular disposition of spins prompt an additional electric polarization contribution and a clear enhancement of the magnetoelectric coupling which are in good agreement with the results of first principles calculations. In addition, Raman spectroscopy, dielectric permittivity, pyroelectric current and magnetic measurements as a function of temperature point out the precursor effects of the magnetic phase transitions involving a strong coupling between spins, lattice and electric order, even above the Neel temperature.

Experimental measurements are frustrated by the versatile sulfur-sulfur bond, with spontaneous disproportionation and interconversion leading to unknown equilibrium distributions of polysulfides with varying lengths and charge states. Here, the solubility of isolated lithium polysulfides is calculated from first-principles molecular dynamics simulations. We explore the associated changes in the dissolution free energy, enthalpy and entropy in two regimes: liquid-phase monodentate solvation in dimethylformamide (DMF) and polymer-like chelation in bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether (diglyme). In both of these technologically relevant solvents, we show that the competition between enthalpy and entropy, related to specific interfacial atomic interactions, conspires to increase the relative stability of long chain dianionic species, which exist as Li+-LiSx- contact-ion-pairs. Further, we propose a mechanism of radical polysulfide stabilization in simple solvents through the reorientation of the 1st shell solvent molecules to screen electrostatic fields emanating from the solute and explain nonmonotonicity of the dissolution entropy with polysulfide length in terms of a three-shell solvation model. Our analysis provides statistical dynamics insights into polylsulfide stability, useful to understand or predict the relevant chemical species present in the solvent at low concentrations.

It was found that the bonding of acetylene was significantly affected by the electronic and structural properties of the carbide surfaces. The adsorbate interacted with metal and/or carbon sites of the carbide. The interaction of acetylene with the TiC(001) and ZrC(001) surfaces was strong (binding energies higher than -3.5 eV), while moderate acetylene adsorption energies were observed on d-MoC(001) (-1.78 eV to -0.66 eV). Adsorption energies, charge density difference plots and Mulliken charges suggested that the binding of the hydrocarbon to the surface had both ionic and covalent contributions. According to the C-C bond lengths obtained, the adsorbed molecule was modified from acetylene-like into ethylene-like on the delta-MoC(001) surface (desired behavior for hydrogenation reactions) but into ethane-like on TiC(001) and ZrC(001). The obtained results suggest that the delta-MoC(001) surface is expected to have the best performance in selective hydrogenation reactions to convert alkynes into alkenes. Another advantage of delta-MoC(001) is that, after C2H2 adsorption, surface carbon sites remain available, which are necessary for H-2 dissociation. However, these sites were occupied when C2H2 was adsorbed on TiC(001) and ZrC(001), limiting their application in the hydrogenation of alkynes.

Previous measurements of the depth-wise distribution of residual stresses in post-fatigue bearings with X-rays involved the time consuming process of etching to determine subsurface stresses and only in limited locations. By contrast, the contour method determines the 2D residual stress map over a full cross section. The method involves the sectioning of the part using Electrical Discharge Machining, measuring the out of plane displacements of the exposed cross section, and using the afforded field as boundary conditions on a finite element model of the component to back calculate the causative residual stress. For this investigation, the residual hoop stresses in the split inner rings of the main shaft bearing assembly of an aircraft jet engine was mapped using the contour method. Prior to measurement, the full-scale bearing made of hardened AISI M50 was subjected to RCF during engine operation. In this talk, the unique challenges of the particular measurements are discussed. The tested bearings showed effectively no residual stresses induced by the RCF, probably because they were conservatively removed from service prior to sufficient cyclic loading. A more highly loaded bearing will be measured in future work. C1 [Isaac, Daulton D.; Arakere, Nagaraj] Univ Florida, Dept Mech & Aerosp Engn, Gainesville, FL 32610 USA.

Taking advantage of this capability, diffraction techniques using monochromatic X-rays have been widely used to measure the residual strains in engineering components. However, isolating a particular volume inside a large component and measuring the residual strain is a challenge when employing typical monochromatic X-ray techniques. In this work we describe a spiral slit system capable of isolating an interior volume in a polycrystalline sample and non-destructively measuring the lattice strains in the volume. An interference fit sample constructed from a Ni-based superalloy is used to demonstrate the capabilities of the system. We compare the strain results to those measured using a conical slit system, a more mature and established device. The results from several polycrystalline samples with non-cubic crystal symmetry are also presented.

TI On the anisotropic advection-diffusion equation with time dependent coefficients SO REVISTA MEXICANA DE FISICA LA English DT Article DE Time-dependent diffusion; anisotropic media; tracer and pollutant transport ID HETEROGENEOUS POROUS-MEDIA; TRANSPORT; PROBE AB The advection-diffusion equation with time dependent velocity and anisotropic time dependent diffusion tensor is examined in regard to its non-classical transport features and to the use of a non-orthogonal coordinate system. Although this equation appears in diverse physical problems, particularly in particle transport in stochastic velocity fields and in underground porous media, a detailed analysis of its solutions is lacking. In order to study the effects of the time-dependent coefficients and the anisotropic diffusion on transport, we solve analytically the equation for an initial Dirac delta pulse. We discuss the solutions to three cases: one based on power-law correlation functions where the pulse diffuses faster than the classical rate similar to t, a second case specifically designed to display slower rate of diffusion than the classical one, and a third case to describe hydrodynamic dispersion in porous media.

TI Identifying anthropogenic uranium compounds using soft X-ray near-edge absorption spectroscopy SO SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA PART B-ATOMIC SPECTROSCOPY LA English DT Article DE Uranium; Nuclear forensics; X-ray absorption spectroscopy ID URANYL CHLORIDE; NEUTRON-DIFFRACTION; CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; ULTRAVIOLET; HYDROLYSIS; EXCHANGE; NITRATE; UO2F2 AB Uranium ores mined for industrial use are typically acid-leached to produce yellowcake and then converted into uranium halides for enrichment and purification. These anthropogenic chemical forms of uranium are distinct from their mineral counterparts. The purpose of this study is to use soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy to characterize several common anthropogenic uranium compounds important to the nuclear fuel cycle. Chemical analyses of these compounds are important for process and environmental monitoring. X-ray absorption techniques have several advantages in this regard, including element-specificity, chemical sensitivity, and high spectral resolution. Oxygen K-edge spectra were collected for uranyl nitrate, uranyl fluoride, and uranyl chloride, and fluorine K-edge spectra were collected for uranyl fluoride and uranium tetrafluoride. Interpretation of the data is aided by comparisons to calculated spectra. The effect of hydration state on the sample, a potential complication in interpreting oxygen K-edge spectra, is discussed. These compounds have unique spectral signatures that can be used to identify unknown samples. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 [Ward, Jesse D.; Bowden, Mark; Resch, C.

Reducing the non-responder rate for an intervention or reducing complications associated with a particular treatment or surgery is the next stage of medical advance. The Precision Medicine Initiative, launched in January 2015, set the stage for enhanced collaboration between researchers and medical professionals to develop next-generation techniques to aid patient treatment and recovery, and increased the opportunities for impactful pre-emptive care. The microbiome plays a crucial role in health and disease, as it influences endocrinology, physiology, and even neurology, altering the outcome of many different disease states, and it augments drug responses and tolerance. We review the implications of the microbiome on precision health initiatives and highlight excellent examples, whereby precision microbiome health has been implemented.

While Pt is the most active single component electrocatalyst for the reaction, it is hampered by high cost and low reaction rates. Most research to overcome these limitations has focused on Pt/3d alloys, which offer higher rates and lower cost. Herein, we have synthesized, characterized, and tested alloy materials belonging to a multilayer family of electrocatalysts. The multilayer alloy materials contain an AuCu alloy core of precise composition, surrounded by Au layers and covered by a catalytically active Pt surface layer. Their performance relative to that of the commercial Pt standards reaches up to 4 times improved area-specific activity. Characterization studies support the hypothesis that the activity improvement originates from a combination of Au-Pt ligand effects and local strain effects manipulated through the AuCu alloy core. The presented approach to control the strain and ligand effects in the synthesis of Pt-based alloys for the ORR is very general and could lead to promising alloy materials.

An energetically feasible sequence of elementary steps for propene oxidation to acrolein, propene ammoxidation to acrylonitrile, and acrolein ammoxidation to acrylonitrile is proposed. Consistent with experimental findings, the rate-limiting step for both propene oxidation and ammoxidation is the initial hydrogen abstraction from the methyl group of propene, which is calculated to have an apparent activation energy of 27.3 kcal/mol. The allyl species produced in this reaction is stabilized as an allyl alkoxide, which can then undergo hydrogen abstraction to form acrolein or react with ammonia adsorbed on under-coordinated surface Bi3+ cations to form allylamine. Dehydrogenation of allylamine is shown to produce acrylonitrile, whereas reaction with additional adsorbed ammonia leads to the formation of acetonitrile and hydrogen cyanide. The dehydrogenation of allyalkoxide species is found to have a significantly higher activation barrier than reaction with adsorbed ammonia, consistent with the observation that very little acrolein is produced when ammonia is present. Rapid reoxidation of the catalyst surface to release water is found to be the driving force for all reactions involving the cleavage of C-H or N-H bonds, because practically all of these steps are endothermic.

Nickel has also exhibited high catalytic activity for methanol oxidation, particularly when in the form of a bimetallic catalyst. In this work, bimetallic iron-nickel nanoparticles were synthesized using a multistep procedure in water under ambient conditions. When compared to monometallic iron and nickel nanoparticles, Fe-Ni nanoparticles show enhanced catalytic activity for both OER and methanol oxidation under alkaline conditions. At 1 mA/cm(2), the overpotential for monometallic iron and nickel nanoparticles was 421 and 476 mV, respectively, while the bimetallic Fe-Ni nanoparticles had a greatly reduced overpotential of 256 mV. At 10 mA/cm(2), bimetallic Fe-Ni nanoparticles had an overpotential of 311 mV. Spectroscopy characterization suggests that the primary phase of nickel in Fe-Ni nanoparticles is the more disordered alpha phase of nickel hydroxide.

Following a bottom-up solution-based synthetic approach, these structures are constructed by connecting highly emissive Cu4I4 cubic clusters via carefully selected ligands that form strong Cu-N bonds. They emit intensive yellow-orange light with high luminescence quantum efficiency, coupled with large Stokes shift, which greatly reduces self-absorption. They also demonstrate exceptionally high framework-and photostability, comparable to those of commercial phosphors. The high stabilities are the result of significantly enhanced Cu-N bonds, as confirmed by the density functional theory (DFT) binding energy and electron density calculations. Possible emission mechanisms are analyzed based on the results of theoretical calculations and optical experiments. Two-component white phosphors obtained by blending blue and yellow emitters reach an internal quantum yield as high as 82% and correlated color temperature as low as 2534 K. The performance level of this subfamily exceeds all other types of Cu-I based hybrid systems. The combined advantages make them excellent candidates as alternative rare-earth element-free phosphors for possible use in energy-efficient lighting devices.

Using lead-based organic-inorganic perovskite compounds as an exploratory platform, it is demonstrated that the modulation of valence electrons by compression can lead to discovery of new properties of known compounds. Yet, despite its unprecedented progress, further efficiency boost of lead-based organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells is hampered by their wider bandgap than the optimum value according to the Shockley-Queisser limit. By modulating the valence electron wavefunction with modest hydraulic pressure up to 2.1 GPa, the optimized bandgap for single-junction solar cells in lead-based perovskites, for the first time, is achieved by narrowing the bandgap of formamidinium lead triiodide (HC(NH2)(2)PbI3) from 1.489 to 1.337 eV. Strikingly, such bandgap narrowing is partially retained after the release of pressure to ambient, and the bandgap narrowing is also accompanied with double-prolonged carrier lifetime. With First-principles simulation, this work opens a new dimension in basic chemical understanding of structural photonics and electronics and paves an alternative pathway toward better photovoltaic materials-by-design.

One important alignment is beam centration through the second and third harmonic generating crystals in the final optics assembly (FOA), which employs two retroreflecting corner cubes as centering references for each beam. Beam-to-beam variations and systematic beam changes over time in the FOA corner cube images can lead to a reduction in accuracy as well as increased convergence durations for the template-based position detector. A systematic approach is described that maintains FOA corner cube templates and guarantees stable position estimation. (C) 2016 Optical Society of America C1 [Awwal, Abdul A.

This data set includes similar to 2.5 million exposures in each of W1 and W2, effectively doubling the amount of WISE imaging available at 3.4 mu m and 4.6 mu m relative to the AllWISE release. We have created the first ever full-sky set of coadds combining all publicly available W1 and W2 exposures from both the AllWISE and NEOWISE-Reactivation (NEOWISER) mission phases. We employ an adaptation of the unWISE image coaddition framework, which preserves the native WISE angular resolution and is optimized for forced photometry. By incorporating two additional scans of the entire sky, we not only improve the W1/W2 depths, but also largely eliminate time-dependent artifacts such as off-axis scattered moonlight. We anticipate that our new coadds will have a broad range of applications, including target selection for upcoming spectroscopic cosmology surveys, identification of distant/massive galaxy clusters, and discovery of high-redshift quasars. In particular, our full-depth AllWISE+NEOWISER coadds will be an important input for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument selection of luminous red galaxy and quasar targets. Our full-depth W1/W2 coadds are already in use within the DECam Legacy Survey (DECaLS) and Mayall z-band Legacy Survey (MzLS) reduction pipelines. Much more work still remains in order to fully leverage NEOWISER imaging for astrophysical applications beyond the solar system.

TI HOW TO FIND GRAVITATIONALLY LENSED TYPE Ia SUPERNOVAE SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS LA English DT Article DE methods: observational; supernovae: general; surveys ID DIGITAL SKY SURVEY; HIGHLY MAGNIFIED SUPERNOVA; EARLY-TYPE GALAXIES; TIME DELAYS; HUBBLE CONSTANT; EXTERNAL SHEAR; COSMOGRAIL; SAMPLE; POPULATIONS; QUASARS AB Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) that are multiply imaged by gravitational lensing can extend the SN Ia Hubble diagram to very high redshifts (z greater than or similar to 2), probe potential SN Ia evolution, and deliver high-precision constraints on H-0, , w and Omega(m) via time delays. However, only one, iPTF16geu, has been found to date, and many more are needed to achieve these goals. To increase the multiply imaged SN Ia discovery rate, we present a simple algorithm for identifying gravitationally lensed SN Ia candidates in cadenced, wide-field optical imaging surveys. The technique is to look for supernovae that appear to be hosted by elliptical galaxies, but that have absolute magnitudes implied by the apparent hosts' photometric redshifts that are far brighter than the absolute magnitudes of normal SNe Ia (the brightest type of supernovae found in elliptical galaxies). Importantly, this purely photometric method does not require the ability to resolve the lensed images for discovery. Active galactic nuclei, the primary sources of contamination that affect the method, can be controlled using catalog cross-matches and color cuts. Highly magnified core-collapse SNe will also be discovered as a byproduct of the method. Using a Monte Carlo simulation, we forecast that the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope can discover up to 500 multiply imaged SNe Ia using this technique in a 10 year z-band search, more than an order of magnitude improvement over previous estimates. We also predict that the Zwicky Transient Facility should find up to 10 multiply imaged SNe Ia using this technique in a 3 year R-band search-despite the fact that this survey will not resolve a single system.

Remarkable results were achieved via succinic anhydride esterification that enabled CNF isolation by a single pass through the microfluidizer yielding a transparent and thick gel. These CNF carry the highest content of carboxyl groups ever reported for native cellulose nanofibers (3.8 mmol g(-1)). Compared to conventional carboxylated cellulose nanofibers prepared via Tempo-mediated oxidation of wheat fibers, the present esterified CNF display a higher molar-mass and a better thermal stability. Moreover, highly carboxylated CNF from succinic anhydride esterification were effectively integrated into paper filters for the removal of lead from aqueous solution and are potentially of interest as carrier of active molecules or as transparent films for packaging, biomedical or electronic applications.

Under external pressure, unsaturated carbon atoms form new covalent bonds regardless of the electrostatic repulsion. It was predicted that calcium acetylide (also known as calcium carbide, CaC2) polymerizes to form calcium polyacetylide, calcium polyacenide and calcium graphenide under high pressure. In this work, the phase transitions of CaC2 under external pressure were systematically investigated, and the amorphous phase was studied in detail for the first time. Polycarbide anions like C-6(6-) are identified with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and several other techniques, which evidences the pressure induced polymerization of the acetylide anions and suggests the existence of the polyacenide fragment. Additionally, the process of polymerization is accompanied with a 10(7) fold enhancement of the electrical conductivity. The polymerization of acetylide anions demonstrates that high pressure compression is a viable route to synthesize novel metal polycarbides and materials with extended carbon networks, while shedding light on the synthesis of more complicated metal organics.

TI Manipulating charge transfer excited state relaxation and spin crossover in iron coordination complexes with ligand substitution SO CHEMICAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID X-RAY-EMISSION; TRANSITION-METAL-COMPLEXES; ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY; STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS; LIGHT; TIO2; RESOLUTION; PHOTOSENSITIZATION; RUTHENIUM(II); PERSPECTIVE AB Developing light-harvesting and photocatalytic molecules made with iron could provide a cost effective, scalable, and environmentally benign path for solar energy conversion. To date these developments have been limited by the sub-picosecond metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) electronic excited state lifetime of iron based complexes due to spin crossover - the extremely fast intersystem crossing and internal conversion to high spin metal-centered excited states. We revitalize a 30 year old synthetic strategy for extending the MLCT excited state lifetimes of iron complexes by making mixed ligand iron complexes with four cyanide (CN-) ligands and one 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) ligand. This enables MLCT excited state and metal-centered excited state energies to be manipulated with partial independence and provides a path to suppressing spin crossover. We have combined X-ray Free-Electron Laser (XFEL) K beta hard X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy with femtosecond time-resolved UV-visible absorption spectroscopy to characterize the electronic excited state dynamics initiated by MLCT excitation of [Fe(CN)(4)(bpy)](2-). The two experimental techniques are highly complementary; the time-resolved UV-visible measurement probes allowed electronic transitions between valence states making it sensitive to ligand-centered electronic states such as MLCT states, whereas the Kb fluorescence spectroscopy provides a sensitive measure of changes in the Fe spin state characteristic of metal-centered excited states. We conclude that the MLCT excited state of [Fe(CN)(4)(bpy)](2-) decays with roughly a 20 ps lifetime without undergoing spin crossover, exceeding the MLCT excited state lifetime of [Fe(2,2'-bipyridine)(3)](2+) by more than two orders of magnitude.

TI Four-step iron(II) spin state cascade driven by antagonistic solid state interactions SO CHEMICAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID COORDINATION-COMPOUNDS; CROSSOVER MATERIALS; INTERMEDIATE PHASE; 2-STEP; TRANSITION; COMPOUND; COMPLEX; FRAMEWORK; BISTABILITY; CONVERSION AB A four-stepped cascade of Fe(II) high spin (HS) to low spin (LS) states is demonstrated in a family of 2-D Hofmann materials, [Fe-3(II)(saltrz)(6)(M-II(CN)(4))(3)].8(H2O) (M-II = Pd(1(Pd)), Pt(1(Pt)); saltrz = (E)-2-(((4H-1,2,4-triazol- 4-yl) imino) methyl) phenol). Alongside the fully HS and LS Fe(II) states, fractional spin state stabilization occurs at HS/LS values of 5/6, 2/3, and 1/6. This unconventional spin state periodicity is driven by the presence of multiple spin crossover (SCO) active Fe(II) sites which are in subtly distinct environments driven by a network of antagonistic host-host and host-guest interactions. Alternating long-and short-range magnetostructural ordering is achieved over the five distinct spin state ratios (HSLS0.0)-L-1.0, (HSLS0.167)-L-0.833, (HSLS0.333)-L-0.667, (HSLS0.833)-L-0.167, and (HSLS1.0)-L-0.0 owing to the flexibility of this 2-D interdigitated lattice topology interconnected by intermolecular interactions. A distinct wave-like spin state patterning is structurally evidenced for each intermediate phase.

TI Investigating the zonal wind response to SST warming using transient ensemble AGCM experiments SO CLIMATE DYNAMICS LA English DT Article DE Greenhouse warming; Finite amplitude wave activity; Wave reflection; Phase speed; Effective diffusivity ID MIDLATITUDE JET VARIABILITY; GENERAL-CIRCULATION MODELS; MEAN FLOW INTERACTION; CLIMATE-CHANGE; ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION; SURFACE WESTERLIES; SENSITIVITY; PARAMETERIZATION; DIFFUSIVITY; INSTABILITY AB The response of the atmospheric circulation to greenhouse gas-induced SST warming is investigated using large ensemble experiments with two AGCMs, with a focus on the robust feature of the poleward shift of the eddy driven jet. In these experiments, large ensembles of simulations are conducted by abruptly switching the SST forcing on from January 1st to focus on the wintertime circulation adjustment. A hybrid, finite amplitude wave activity budget analysis is performed to elucidate the nonlinear and irreversible aspects of the eddy-mean flow interaction during the adjustment of the zonal wind towards a poleward shifted state. The results confirm the results from earlier more idealized studies, particularly the importance of reduced dissipation of wave activity, in which the midlatitude decrease of effective diffusivity appears to be dominant. This reduction in dissipation increases the survival of midlatitude waves. These surviving waves, when reaching the upper propagation level in the upper troposphere, are subject to the influence of the increase of reflection phase speed at the poleward side of the mean jet, and thus more waves are reflected equatorward across the jet, giving rise to a poleward transport of momentum and thus an eddy momentum flux convergence for the poleward shift. The relative importance of wave breaking-induced PV mixing versus diabatic PV source in the evolution of the Lagrangian PV gradient is also investigated. The former plays the dominant role in the PV gradient formation during the initial phase of the jet shift, while the latter actually opposes the evolution of the Lagrangian PV gradient at times.

The Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC) framework exploits this diverse landscape at the largest scales of problem size, obtaining high scalability and sustained performance. Developed to satisfy the science requirements of cosmological surveys, HACC melds particle and grid methods using a novel algorithmic structure that flexibly maps across architectures, including CPU/GPU, multi/many-core, and Blue Gene systems. In this Research Highlight, we demonstrate the success of HACC on two very different machines, the CPU/GPU system Titan and the BG/Q systems Sequoia and Mira, attaining very high levels of scalable performance. We demonstrate strong and weak scaling on Titan, obtaining up to 99.2% parallel efficiency, evolving 1.1 trillion particles.

This new class of mesoporous materials is a non-interpenetrating network that features ultra-large diamond shaped pores of dimensions with approximate cross-sectional dimensions of 28 angstrom x 12 angstrom. The fully deprotonated ligand, L, is isolated and rigidified as it serves as the organic linker component of the MOF structure. Its low density unit cells possess asymmetric units with two crystallographically independent Ln(3+) ions in seven coordinate arrangements. A distinct feature of the structure is the bis-bidentate carboxylate groups. They serve as a ligand that coordinates two Ln(III) ions while each L connects four Ln(III) ions yielding an exceptionally large diamond-shaped rectangular network. The structure exhibits ligand-based photoluminescence with increased lifetime compared to free stilbene molecules on exposure to UV radiation, and also exhibits strong scintillation characteristics, comprising of both prompt and delayed radioluminescence features, on exposure to ionizing radiation.

Addressing this need, we studied current patterns of hydrologic alteration in the Marcellus Shale region and related the estimated flow alteration to fish community measures. We then used these empirical flow-ecology relationships to evaluate alternative surface water withdrawals and environmental flow rules. Reduced high-flow magnitude, dampened rates of change, and increased low-flow magnitudes were apparent regionally, but changes in many of the flow metrics likely to be sensitive to withdrawals also showed substantial regional variation. Fish community measures were significantly related to flow alteration, including declines in species richness with diminished annual runoff, winter low-flow, and summer median-flow. In addition, the relative abundance of intolerant taxa decreased with reduced winter high-flow and increased flow constancy, while fluvial specialist species decreased with reduced winter and annual flows. Stream size strongly mediated both the impact of withdrawal scenarios and the protection-afforded by environmental flow standards. Under the most intense withdrawal-scenario, 75% of reference headwaters and creeks (drainage areas < 99 km(2)) experienced at least 78% reduction in summer flow, whereas little change was predicted for larger rivers. Moreover, the least intense withdrawal scenario still-reduced summer flows by at least 21% for 50% of headwaters and creeks. The observed 90th quantile flow-ecology relationships indicate that such alteration could reduce species richness by 23% or more. Seasonally varying environmental flow standards and high fixed minimum flows protected the most streams from hydrologic alteration, but common minimum flow standards left numerous locations vulnerable to substantial flow alteration. This study clarifies how additional water demands in the region may adversely affect freshwater biological integrity. The-results make clear that policies to limit or prevent water withdrawals from smaller streams can reduce the risk of ecosystem impairment. C1 [Buchanan, Brian P.; Walter, M.

First, an EV charging problem is investigated from consumer, aggregator, and distribution system operator's perspectives. A hierarchical control architecture (HCA) comprising scheduling, coordinative, and adaptive layers is then designed to realize their coordinative goal. This is realized by integrating multi-time scale controls that work from a day-ahead scheduling up to real-time adaptive control. The performance of the developed method is investigated with high EV penetration in a typical residential distribution grid. The simulation results demonstrate that HCA efficiently utilizes demand flexibility stemming from EVs to solve grid unbalancing and congestions with simultaneous maximization of economic benefits to the participating actors. This is ensured by enabling EV participation in day-ahead, balancing, and regulation markets. For the given network configuration and pricing structure, HCA ensures the EV owners to get paid up to five times the cost they were paying without control.

However, how environmental innovation may affect carbon emissions in China and whether the effect may differ among various environmental innovation variables remain to be investigated. Therefore, based on the panel data of China's 30 provinces during 2000-2013, we use a system generalized method of moments (SGMM) technique to estimate the effect of environmental innovation on carbon emissions in China. Also, we evaluate the effect on carbon emission reduction of China's initial carbon emissions trading (CET) scheme. Empirical results indicate that, most environmental innovation measures in China reduce carbon emissions effectively. Among the various environmental innovation factors, energy efficiency exerts the most evident effect on carbon emissions abatement in China; meanwhile, resources for innovation and knowledge innovation also play prominent roles in this regard. However, the impact of governmental environmental policies on curbing carbon emissions reduction suffers from a lag effect, which mainly occurred during 2006-2013. Finally, despite the short time of operation and incomplete market mechanism, the pilot CET in China has appeared relatively promising with regard to carbon emissions reduction.

TI Field Validation of Supercritical CO2 Reactivity with Basalts SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LETTERS LA English DT Article ID CARBON-DIOXIDE; RATES; DISPOSAL; STORAGE AB Continued global use of fossil fuels places a premium on developing technology solutions to minimize increases in atmospheric CO2 levels. CO2 storage in reactive basalts might be one of these solutions by permanently converting injected gaseous CO2 into solid carbonates. Herein, we report results from a field demonstration in which similar to 1000 metric tons of CO2 was injected into a natural basalt formation in eastern Washington state. Following post-injection monitoring for 2 years, cores were obtained from within the injection zone and subjected to detailed physical and chemical analysis. Nodules found in vesicles throughout the cores were identified as the carbonate mineral, ankerite Ca[Fe,Mg,Mr](CO3)(2). Carbon isotope analysis showed the nodules are chemically distinct compared with natural carbonates present in the basalt and in clear correlation with the isotopic signature of the injected CO2. These findings provide field validation of rapid mineralization rates observed from years of laboratory testing with basalts. C1 [McGrail, B.

It has been estimated that there are roughly a billion tons of lignocellulose available annually in the United States alone. Valorization of residual lignin streams generated from lignocellulosic biorefineries is key for economic viability and sustainability. In this work, catalytic transfer hydrogenolysis using isopropyl alcohol (IPA) as a hydrogen-donor solvent was employed at 300 degrees C to valorize lignin-enriched residues obtained from an ionic liquid (IL) conversion process. This process results in high liquid yields (65.5 wt%) with a significant amount of monomers present (27 wt%) and low char formation. Compositional analysis of the process streams indicates that alkyl-substituted phenols are the main products. Lignin depolymerization was enhanced at longer reaction times and in the presence of Ru/C, producing more, low molecular weight products with a greater extent of alkylation on the aromatic rings. This work suggests that residual lignin fractions from IL-based lignocellulosic conversion technologies can be depolymerized to value-added products and low molecular weight platform chemicals for the renewable fuels and chemicals sector.

Key sources of uncertainty affecting the modeling results are identified and are characterized via multiple stochastic scenarios. We then propose a risk-averse optimal bidding formulation for the resource aggregator at the demand side based on the conditional value-at-risk (VaR) theory. Specifically, this strategy seeks to minimize the expected regret value over a subset of worst-case scenarios whose collective probability is no more than a threshold value. Our approach ensures the robustness of the day-ahead (DA) bidding strategy while considering the uncertainties associated with the renewable generation, real-time price, and electricity demand. We carry out numerical simulations against three benchmark bidding strategies, including a VaR-based approach and a traditional scenario based stochastic programming approach. We find that the proposed strategy outperforms the benchmark strategies in terms of hedging high regret risks, and results in computational efficiency and DA bidding costs that are comparable to the benchmarks.

By the sparse load shifting strategy, customers' discomfort is reduced. Although there are many game theoretic models for the demand-side management problem, the computational efficiency of finding Nash equilibrium that globally minimizes the total energy consumption cost and the peak-to-average ratio is still an outstanding issue. We develop a bidirectional framework for solving the demand-side management problem in a distributed way to substantially improve the search efficiency. A Newton method is employed to accelerate the centralized coordination of demand side management strategies that super-linearly converge to a better Nash equilibrium minimizing the peak-to-average ratio. Furthermore, dual fast gradient and convex relaxation are applied to tackle the sub-problem for customers' best response, which is able to relieve customers' discomfort from load shifting or interrupting. Detailed results from illustrative case studies are presented and discussed, which shows the costs of energy consumption and daily peak demand by our algorithm are reduced. Finally, some conclusions are drawn. C1 [Li, Chaojie; Yu, Xinghuo] RMIT Univ, Sch Elect & Comp Engn, Melbourne, Vic 3000, Australia.

TI Data Centers as Dispatchable Loads to Harness Stranded Power SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SUSTAINABLE ENERGY LA English DT Article DE Cloud computing; energy markets; green computing; power grid; renewable portfolio standard (RPS); renewable power AB We analyze how traditional data center placement and optimal placement of dispatchable data centers affect power grid efficiency. We use detailed network models, stochastic optimization formulations, and diverse renewable generation scenarios to perform our analysis. Our results reveal that significant spillage and stranded power will persist in power grids as wind power levels are increased. A counter-intuitive finding is that collocating data centers with inflexible loads next to wind farms has limited impacts on renewable portfolio standard (RPS) goals because it provides limited system-level flexibility. Such an approach can, in fact, increase stranded power and fossil-fueled generation. In contrast, optimally placing data centers that are dispatchable provides system-wide flexibility, reduces stranded power, and improves efficiency. In short, optimally placed dispatchable computing loads can enable better scaling to high RPS. In our case study, we find that these dispatchable computing loads are powered to 60-80% of their requested capacity, indicating that there are significant economic incentives provided by stranded power.

Optimal usage of storage may result in reduced generation costs and an increased use of renewable energy. However, optimally sizing these devices is a challenging problem. This paper aims to provide the tools to optimally size an ESS under the assumption that it will be operated under a model predictive control scheme and that the forecast of the renewable energy resources include prediction errors. A two-stage stochastic model predictive control is formulated and solved, where the optimal usage of the storage is simultaneously determined along with the optimal generation outputs and size of the storage. Wind forecast errors are taken into account in the optimization problem via probabilistic constraints for which an analytical form is derived. This allows for the stochastic optimization problem to be solved directly, without using sampling-based approaches, and sizing the storage to account not only for a wide range of potential scenarios, but also for a wide range of potential forecast errors. In the proposed formulation, we account for the fact that errors in the forecast affect how the device is operated later in the horizon and that a receding horizon scheme is used in operation to optimally use the available storage.

The approach, involving non-collinear wave mixing of ultrasonic waves, is applied to a test sample extracted from a retired pressure vessel exposed to hydrogen. Results show that the non-linear ultrasonic approach is capable of detecting and assessing HTHA damage through the thickness of the pressure vessels. The method only requires access to the vessels' outside surface, which makes it very attractive for field inspections. C1 [McGovern, M.

However, as we move closer toward the ability to execute exascale calculations and process the ensuing extreme-scale amounts of data produced by both experiments and computations alike, the complexity of managing the compute and data analysis tasks has grown beyond the capabilities of domain scientists. Thus, workflow management systems are absolutely necessary to ensure current and future scientific discoveries. A key research question for these workflow management systems concerns the performance optimization of complex calculation and data analysis tasks. The central contribution of this article is a description of the PANORAMA approach for modeling and diagnosing the run-time performance of complex scientific workflows. This approach integrates extreme-scale systems testbed experimentation, structured analytical modeling, and parallel systems simulation into a comprehensive workflow framework called Pegasus for understanding and improving the overall performance of complex scientific workflows.

We experimentally evaluate the performance of computing devices on core operations of the application. We correlate the observed performance with the characteristics of computing devices and data access patterns, computation complexities, and parallelization forms of the operations. The results show a significant variability in the performance of operations with respect to the device used. The performances of operations with regular data access are comparable or sometimes better on a MIC than that on a GPU. GPUs are more efficient than MICs for operations that access data irregularly, because of the lower bandwidth of the MIC for random data accesses. We propose new performance-aware scheduling strategies that consider variabilities in operation speedups. Our scheduling strategies significantly improve application performance compared with classic strategies in hybrid configurations.

Hailstone impacts have been studied and modeled in recent years but the work has not yet reached a higher-velocity regime that is relevant to many current applications. We have pushed higher into this regime with new approaches in both modeling and experimental measurement of hailstone impacts. The impulses of hailstone impacts on a flat plate were measured up through supersonic velocities and over a range of impact angles using the Sum of Weighted Accelerations Technique (SWAT) developed at Sandia National Laboratories. These results are compared with the impulses predicted by finite element simulations that improve upon existing material models from literature. The result of this work is a hailstone impact model, calibrated by experiments, that is capable of capturing the impulses imparted on structures by hailstones traveling up to supersonic velocities and impacting over a range of angles.

However, hydrogen-deformation interactions and the role of defects in degradation processes remain poorly understood. In the current study, nanoindentation within specifically oriented grains in as-received, hydrogen-charged, aged, and hydrogen re-charged conditions revealed a "hysteresis" of indentation modulus, while the indentation hardness varied minimally. Thermal pre-charging with approximately 2000 appm hydrogen decreases the indentation modulus by similar to 20%, aging leads to a slight recovery, but re-charging drives the modulus back down to values similar to those measured in the hydrogen-charged condition. This "hysteresis" indicates that dissolved interstitial hydrogen is not solely responsible for mechanical property alterations; hydrogen trapped at defects also contributes to elastic property variation.

This retrofit is usually done by spraying polyurethane foam underneath the roof sheathing, and on the gables and soffits of an attic to provide an air barrier and a thermal control layer. Unvented attics perform well from this perspective, but from a moisture perspective sometimes homes with unvented attics have high interior humidity or moisture damage to the roof. As homes become more air tight and energy efficient, a better understanding of the hygrothermal dynamics of homes with energy-efficient envelopes becomes more important. One proposed reason for high unvented attic humidity has been that moisture can come through the asphalt shingle roof system and increase the moisture content of the roof sheathing and attic air. This has been called solar-driven moisture. Oak Ridge National Laboratory investigated this proposed phenomenon by examining the physical properties of a roof and the physics required for the phenomenon. Results showed that there are not favorable conditions for solar-driven moisture to occur. Oak Ridge National Laboratory also conducted an experimental study in a home with an unvented attic and compared the humidity below the roof sheathing before and after a vapor impermeable underlayment was installed. There was no statistically significant difference in absolute humidity before and after the impermeable underlayment was installed. The outcomes of the theoretical and experimental studies suggest that solar-driven moisture does not occur in any significant amount.

TI Profile of Patients Without Burn Scar Contracture Development SO JOURNAL OF BURN CARE & RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID CUTANEOUS FUNCTIONAL UNITS; INJURY; REHABILITATION; THERAPY; RISK AB Burn scar contractures (BSCs) are a frequently recognized problem for survivors of burn injury. In the burn literature, many reports focus on the frequency and factors associated with the BSC development. To the contrary, few burn rehabilitation publications report on patients who are able to successfully avoid developing BSC. From a prospective, multicenter study, data were extracted and reviewed on a group of 56 adult burn survivors who were discharged from their acute hospitalization without any measured BSCs. Forty-three variables with a recognized or presumed association with the development of BSCs were analyzed and are reported. Highlighted features of the noncontracted group included being an adult male with an educated background and few associated physical, medical, or social problems. The group had relatively small burn sizes that nonetheless required hospitalization. Despite the overall TBSA, the majority of the burn areas required skin grafting, although this area also represented a small area. The patient group had a longer than expected hospital stay. Rehabilitation was provided to patients on 80% of their hospital days. In addition, patients received sufficient rehabilitation treatment based on the number of cutaneous functional units involved in the burn injury. Patients were judged to have a high pain tolerance and compliant with rehabilitation. The results of this study document the clinical circumstances that patients with burn injury can be discharged from their acute hospitalization with the development of BSC. This study challenges the rehabilitation personnel to expand the upper limit of burn severity that can result in similar positive outcomes. C1 [Richard, Reg; Santos-Lozada, Alexis R.; Dewey, W.

Measurements in the water rich phase for (2-ethylphenol + water) and (4-ethylphenol + water) were extended to T = 440 K and T = 380 K, respectively, to facilitate comparison with literature values. Liquid liquid equilibrium tie-line determinations were made for four ternary systems involving (water + toluene) mixed with a third component: phenol, 3-ethylphenol, 4-methoxyphenol, or 2,4-dimethylphenol. Literature values at higher temperatures are available for the three (ethylphenol + water) systems, and in general, good agreement is seen. The ternary system (water + toluene + phenol) has been studied previously with inconsistent results reported in the literature, and one report is shown to be anomalous. All systems are modeled with the predictive methods NIST-modified-UNIFAC and NIST-COSMO-SAC, with generally good success (i.e., within 0.05 mole fraction) in the temperature range of interest (300 < T/K < 360). This work is part of a larger project on the testing and development of predictive phase equilibrium models for compound types occurring in catalytic fast,pyrolysis of biomass, and background information for that project is provided.

We apply our method to liquid water under dissociative conditions, where molecular lifetimes are less than 1 ps, and superionic water, where hydrogen ions diffuse at liquid-like rates through an oxygen lattice. We find that, in general, our new models are capable of accurately reproducing the structural and dynamic properties computed from DFT, as well as the molecular concentrations and lifetimes. Overall, our force-matching approach presents a relatively simple way to create classical reactive force fields for a single thermodynamic state point that largely retains the accuracy of DFT while having the potential to access experimental time and length scales.

TI Understanding Atomic-Scale Behavior of Liquid Crystals at Aqueous Interfaces SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL THEORY AND COMPUTATION LA English DT Article ID MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS; NEMATIC FILM; THIN-FILM; SURFACE; MONOLAYERS; 5CB; POLARIZATION; ORGANIZATION; ORIENTATION; TRANSITION AB The ordered environment presented by liquid crystals at interfaces enables a range of novel functionalities that is only now beginning to be exploited in applications ranging from light focusing devices to biosensors. One key feature of liquid crystals is that molecular events occurring at an interface propagate over large distances through the bulk. In spite of their importance, our fundamental understanding of liquid crystal-water and liquid crystal-air interfaces remains limited. In this work, we present results from large-scale atomistic molecular dynamics simulations on the organization of the nematic and isotropic phases of the nitrile-containing mesogenic molecule 4-cyano-4'-pentylbiphenyl (5CB) in the vicinity of vacuum and aqueous interfaces. Hybrid boundary conditions are imposed by confining 5CB films between vacuum and an aqueous medium to examine how those two types of interfaces influence the specific structural arrangement and ordering of 5CB. Consistent with experiments, our results indicate that 5CB exhibits homeotropic anchoring at the vacuum interface, and planar alignment at aqueous interfaces. Two-dimensional molecular dynamics potential of mean force calculations and average polarization densities show that the polar nitrile group of 5CB remains hydrated near the aqueous interface, where it modulates the orientation of water molecules. Estimates of the anchoring strength reveal an oscillatory decay and a semilinear decay with distance from the interface in vacuum and water, respectively.

There are now several dozen extreme weather events examined in these supplements, but these studies have all differed in their data sources as well as their approaches to defining the events, analyzing the events, and the consideration of the role of anthropogenic emissions. This study reexamines most of these events using a single analytical approach and a single set of climate model and observational data sources. In response to recent studies recommending the importance of using multiple methods for extreme weather event attribution, results are compared from these analyses to those reported in the BAMS supplements collectively, with the aim of characterizing the degree to which the lack of a common methodological framework may or may not influence overall conclusions. Results are broadly similar to those reported earlier for extreme temperature events but disagree for a number of extreme precipitation events. Based on this, it is advised that the lack of comprehensive uncertainty analysis in recent extreme weather attribution studies is important and should be considered when interpreting results, but as yet it has not introduced a systematic bias across these studies.

An evaluation is conducted of how well atmospheric blocking is represented in four AGCMs whose horizontal resolution is increased from a grid spacing of more than 100km to about 25 km. It is shown that Euro-Atlantic blocking is simulated overall more credibly at higher resolution (i.e., in better agreement with a 50-yr reference blocking climatology created from the reanalyses ERA-40 and ERA-Interim). The improvement seen with resolution depends on the season and to some extent on the model considered. Euro-Atlantic blocking is simulated more realistically at higher resolution in winter, spring, and autumn, and robustly so across the model ensemble. The improvement in spring is larger than that in winter and autumn. Summer blocking is found to be better simulated at higher resolution by one model only, with little change seen in the other three models. The representation of Pacific blocking is not found to systematically depend on resolution. Despite the improvements seen with resolution, the 25-km models still exhibit large biases in Euro-Atlantic blocking. For example, three of the four 25-km models underestimate winter northern European blocking frequency by about one-third. The resolution sensitivity and biases in the simulated blocking are shown to be in part associated with the mean-state biases in the models' midlatitude circulation.

A recent study claimed that TMT trends over 1979 and 2015 are 3 times larger in climate models than in satellite data but did not correct for the contribution TMT trends receive from stratospheric cooling. Here, it is shown that the average ratio of modeled and observed TMT trends is sensitive to both satellite data uncertainties and model-data differences in stratospheric cooling. When the impact of lower-stratospheric cooling on TMT is accounted for, and when the most recent versions of satellite datasets are used, the previously claimed ratio of three between simulated and observed near-global TMT trends is reduced to approximately 1.7. Next, the validity of the statement that satellite data show no significant tropospheric warming over the last 18 years is assessed. This claim is not supported by the current analysis: in five out of six corrected satellite TMT records, significant global-scale tropospheric warming has occurred within the last 18 years. Finally, long-standing concerns are examined regarding discrepancies in modeled and observed vertical profiles of warming in the tropical atmosphere. It is shown that amplification of tropical warming between the lower and mid-to-upper troposphere is now in close agreement in the average of 37 climate models and in one updated satellite record.

In particular, due to their high surface areas, controllable structures and excellent electrochemical properties, PBAs such as hexacyanometalates M-3(II)[A(III)(CN)(6)]2(*).nH(2)O (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn; A = Co, Fe, Cr; n= no. of water molecules present), M-2(II)[Fe-II(CN)(6)]2(*).nH(2)O (M=Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) and mixed hexacyanometalates(III) (Fe1-XCox)(3)[B-III(CN)(6)](2.)nH(2)O (x=0.25, 0.5, 0.75; B= Co, Fe) could have possible usage as a new class of cathode and even anode materials for rechargeable batteries. Detailed knowledge of the oxidation states of the transition metals in PBAs is required to improve efficiency and durability of such devices. Furthermore, a link between the thermal expansion observed in these materials and the oxidation state of the transition metal is of interest to synthesize materials with a desired thermal expansion behavior, Here we demonstrate the use of Synchrotron based X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra to identify transition metal oxidation states. Our analysis reveals the presence of divalent, trivalent and/or mixed valence transition metals in the materials as well as high-spin and low-spin complexes. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

With increasing efficiency of light sources and spectrometers, experiments over a wide range of emission angles become more and more common. Consequently, the angular variation of ARPES spectral weight - often times termed "matrix element effect"- enters as an additional source of information. In this tutorial, we develop a simple but instructive free electron final state approach based on the three-step model to describe the intensity distribution in ARPES. We find a compact expression showing that the ARPES spectral weight of a given Bloch band is essentially determined by the momentum distribution (the Fourier transform) of its associated Wannier orbital - times a polarization dependent pre-factor. While the former is giving direct information on the symmetry and shape of the electronic wave function, the latter can give rise to surprising geometric effects. We discuss a variety of modern and instructive experimental showcases for which this simplistic formalism works astonishingly well and discuss the limits of this approach. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

This study describes the development of a prototype system employing an easy-to-use software interface designed to provide forensic examiners with the ability to measure topography of a toolmarked surface and then conduct various comparisons using a statistical algorithm. Acquisition of the data is carried out using a portable 3D optical profilometer, and comparison of the resulting data files is made using software named "MANTIS" (Mark and Tool Inspection Suite). The system has been tested on laboratory-produced markings that include fully striated marks (e.g., screwdriver markings), quasistriated markings produced by shear-cut pliers, impression marks left by chisels, rifling marks on bullets, and cut marks produced by knives. Using the system, an examiner has the potential to (i) visually compare two toolmarked surfaces in a manner similar to a comparison microscope and (ii) use the quantitative information embedded within the acquired data to obtain an objective statistical comparison of the data files. This study shows that, based on the results from laboratory samples, the system has great potential for aiding examiners in conducting comparisons of toolmarks.

The model consists of a network of five interconnected sites (excitonic states of light-sensitive molecules) responsible for the NPQ mechanism. The model also includes the "damaging" and the dissipative channels. The damaging channel is responsible for production of singlet oxygen and other destructive outcomes. In our model, both damaging and "dissipative" charge transfer channels are described by discrete electron energy levels attached to their sinks, that mimic the continuum part of electron energy spectrum. All five excitonic sites interact with the protein environment that is modeled using a stochastic process. Our approach allowed us to derive the exact and closed system of linear ordinary differential equations for the reduced density matrix and its first momentums. These equations are solved numerically including for strong interactions between the light-sensitive molecules and protein environment. As an example, we apply our model to demonstrate possible contributions of quantum interference, protein noise, and sink effects in the NPQ mechanism in the CP29 minor LHC. The numerical simulations show that using proper combination of quantum interference effects, properties of noise, and sinks, one can significantly suppress the damaging channel. Our findings demonstrate the possible role of interference, protein noise, and sink effects for modeling, engineering, and optimizing the performance of the NPQ processes in both natural and artificial light-harvesting complexes.

It harbor multiple commensal microbial communities at different body sites, which play important roles in sensing the environment, protecting against colonization and infection of pathogens, and guiding the host immune system in response to foreign invasions. The skinmicrobiome is largely variable between individuals and body sites, with several core commensal members commonly shared among individuals at the healthy state. These microbial commensals are essential to skin health and can potentially lead to disease when their abundances and activities change due to alterations in the environment or in the host. While recent advances in sequencing technologies have enabled a large number of studies to characterize the taxonomic composition of the skin microbiome at various body sites and under different physiological conditions, we have limited understanding of themicrobiome composition and dynamics at the strain level, which is highly important to many microbe-related diseases. Functional studies of the skin microbial communities and the interactions among community members and with the host are currently scant, warranting future investigations. In this review, we summarize the recent findings on the skin microbiome, highlighting the roles of the major commensals, including bacteria, fungi and bacteriophages, inmodulating skin functions in health and disease. Functional studies of the skin microbiota at the metatranscriptomic and proteomic levels are also included to illustrate the interactions between the microbiota and the host skin.

This arrangement allows us to observe how the back-scattering patterns change with particle size, shape, surface roughness, orientation, etc. The recoded scattering patterns cover the angular ranges of theta=167.7-180 degrees (including at 180 exactly) and phi=0-360 degrees in spherical coordinates. The patterns show that the width of the average speckle intensity islands or rings is inversely proportional to particle size and how the shape of these intensity rings or islands also depends on the surface roughness. For an irregularly shaped particle with substantial roughness, the back-scattering patterns are formed with speckle intensity islands, the size and orientations of these islands depend more on the overall particle size and orientation, but have less relevance to the fine alteration of the surface structure and shapes. The back scattering intensity at 180 is very sensitive to the particle parameters. It can change from a maximum to a minimum with a change of 0.1% in particle size or refractive index. The method has potential use in characterizing airborne aerosol particles, and may be used to provide back-scattering information for LIDAR applications. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

This spectrometer employs two spherically-bent germanium (Ge) 220 crystals, which are combined to form a large aperture dispersive element with a spectral bandwidth of similar to 300 eV that enables both the elastic and inelastic x-ray scattering peaks to be simultaneously measured. The apparatus and its characterization are described. A resolving power of similar to 1900 was demonstrated and a spatial resolution of 12 mu m was achieved in calibration tests. For XRTS measurements, a narrow-bandwidth (Delta E/E < 0.003) LCLS x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) beam at 5.07 keV was used to probe a dense carbon plasma produced in shock-compressed samples of different forms of carbon. Preliminary results of the scattering experiments from Pyrolytic Graphite samples that illustrate the utility of the instrument are presented. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI A new multigroup method for cross-sections that vary rapidly in energy SO JOURNAL OF QUANTITATIVE SPECTROSCOPY & RADIATIVE TRANSFER LA English DT Article ID RADIATIVE-TRANSFER; HOMOGENIZATION; ATMOSPHERES AB We present a numerical method for solving the time-independent thermal radiative transfer (TRT) equation or the neutron transport (NT) equation when the opacity (cross-section) varies rapidly in frequency (energy) on the microscale epsilon; epsilon corresponds to the characteristic spacing between absorption lines or resonances, and is much smaller than the macroscopic frequency (energy) variation of interest. The approach is based on a rigorous homogenization of the TRT/NT equation in the frequency (energy) variable. Discretization of the homogenized TRT/NT equation results in a multigroup-type system, and can therefore be solved by standard methods. We demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the approach on three model problems. First we consider the Elsasser band model with constant temperature and a line spacing e = 10(-4). Second, we consider a neutron transport application for fast neutrons incident on iron, where the characteristic resonance spacing epsilon necessitates approximate to 16, 000 energy discretization parameters if Planck-weighted cross sections are used. Third, we consider an atmospheric TRT problem for an opacity corresponding to water vapor over a frequency range 1000-2000 cm(-1), where we take 12 homogeneous layers between 115 km, and temperature/pressure values in each layer from the standard US atmosphere. For all three problems, we demonstrate that we can achieve between 0.1 and 1 percent relative error in the solution, and with several orders of magnitude fewer parameters than a standard multigroup formulation using Planck-weighted (source-weighted) opacities for a comparable accuracy.

Sub-samples of three alpha-U3O8 materials-one that was phase-pure and two that were phase-impure-were stored under controlled conditions for two years. Scanning electron microscopy was used to image the oxides before and after storage, and a morphology lexicon was used to characterize the images. Temporal changes in morphology were observed in some sub-samples, and changes were greatest following exposure to high relative humidity.

The following optimal operation parameters for analytical scale separations with cation exchange resin were established based on a modified separation resolution: 0.046 M alpha-HIB- as eluent with a flow rate of 1.2 mL min(-1) at 25 A degrees C. Different carboxylic acids with varying pH were also investigated, which reaffirmed the use of alpha-hydroxyisobutyrate as the most suitable complexant for the separation of these neighboring lanthanides.

TI A non-destructive internal nuclear forensic investigation at Argonne: discovery of a Pu planchet from 1948 SO JOURNAL OF RADIOANALYTICAL AND NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article DE Nuclear forensics; Nuclear archeology; Electrodeposition; Pu-239; Non-destructive analysis ID ELECTRODEPOSITION; URANIUM AB A plutonium alpha standard dating from 1948 was discovered at Argonne National Laboratory and characterized using a number of non-destructive analytical techniques. The principle radioactive isotope was found to be Pu-239 and unique ring structures were found across the surface of the deposition area. Due to chronological constraints on possible sources and its high isotopic purity, the plutonium in the sample was likely produced by the Oak Ridge National Lab X-10 Reactor. It is proposed that the rings are resultant through a combination of polishing and electrodeposition, though the hypothesis fails to address a few key features of the ring structures.

Previous work was completed showing the success of electrochemical pre-concentration, as applied to 4f-elements, in reducing the time necessary to pre-concentrate a sample. However, these studies did not include the more electrochemically diverse 5f-elements. The objective of this work was to investigate the ability of a multivalent actinide, plutonium (Pu), to be electrochemically pre-concentrated while maximizing the efficiency of the method and proposing a mechanism of pre-concentration. In an aqueous solution with a mercury film electrode, Pu can successfully pre-concentrate and was proposed to do so via amalgamation.

TI Bragg coherent diffraction imaging and metrics for radiation damage in protein micro-crystallography SO JOURNAL OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 9th International Workshop on X-Ray Radiation Damage to Biological Crystalline Samples CY MAR 09-11, 2016 CL Lund, SWEDEN DE radiation damage; dose; protein crystallography; micro-crystallography; Bragg coherent diffractive imaging ID X-RAY-DIFFRACTION; MACROMOLECULAR CRYSTALLOGRAPHY; SYNCHROTRON-RADIATION; ROOM-TEMPERATURE; SERIAL CRYSTALLOGRAPHY; CRYSTALS; BEAM; CRYOCRYSTALLOGRAPHY; MITIGATION; DEPENDENCE AB The proliferation of extremely intense synchrotron sources has enabled ever higher-resolution structures to be obtained using data collected from smaller and often more imperfect biological crystals (Helliwell, 1984). Synchrotron beamlines now exist that are capable of measuring data from single crystals that are just a few micrometres in size. This provides renewed motivation to study and understand the radiation damage behaviour of small protein crystals. Reciprocal-space mapping and Bragg coherent diffractive imaging experiments have been performed on cryo-cooled microcrystals of hen egg-white lysozyme as they undergo radiation damage. Several well established metrics, such as intensity-loss and lattice expansion, are applied to the diffraction data and the results are compared with several new metrics that can be extracted from the coherent imaging experiments. Individually some of these metrics are inconclusive. However, combining metrics, the results suggest that radiation damage behaviour in protein micro-crystals differs from that of larger protein crystals and may allow them to continue to diffract for longer. A possible mechanism to account for these observations is proposed. C1 [Coughlan, H. D.; Darmanin, C.; Kirkwood, H. J.; Phillips, N.

The system consists of a four-channel button pick-up, 20 GHz sampling oscilloscope and an 800 MHz low-pass digital filter. Upon measuring a bunch-by-bunch spatio-temporal beam motion matrix over many turns, singular-value decomposition analysis is used to reveal the dominant coupled-bunch modes. The system can diagnose injection oscillations due to kicker errors and the effect of resistive-wall impedance that gives rise to instability during operation. C1 [Lee, Jaeyu; Chun, M.

TI Dynamic X-ray diffraction sampling for protein crystal positioning SO JOURNAL OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 9th International Workshop on X-Ray Radiation Damage to Biological Crystalline Samples CY MAR 09-11, 2016 CL Lund, SWEDEN DE dynamic sampling; supervised learning approach; X-ray diffraction; nonlinear optical microscopy; two-photon-excited fluorescence; second-harmonic generation ID THROUGHPUT MACROMOLECULAR CRYSTALLOGRAPHY; SERIAL FEMTOSECOND CRYSTALLOGRAPHY; RADIATION-DAMAGE; EXCITED FLUORESCENCE; BEAM; DETECTOR AB A sparse supervised learning approach for dynamic sampling (SLADS) is described for dose reduction in diffraction-based protein crystal positioning. Crystal centering is typically a prerequisite for macromolecular diffraction at synchrotron facilities, with X-ray diffraction mapping growing in popularity as a mechanism for localization. In X-ray raster scanning, diffraction is used to identify the crystal positions based on the detection of Bragg-like peaks in the scattering patterns; however, this additional X-ray exposure may result in detectable damage to the crystal prior to data collection. Dynamic sampling, in which preceding measurements inform the next most information-rich location to probe for image reconstruction, significantly reduced the X-ray dose experienced by protein crystals during positioning by diffraction raster scanning. The SLADS algorithm implemented herein is designed for single-pixel measurements and can select a new location to measure. In each step of SLADS, the algorithm selects the pixel, which, when measured, maximizes the expected reduction in distortion given previous measurements. Ground-truth diffraction data were obtained for a 5 mm-diameter beam and SLADS reconstructed the image sampling 31% of the total volume and only 9% of the interior of the crystal greatly reducing the X-ray dosage on the crystal. Using in situ two-photon-excited fluorescence microscopy measurements as a surrogate for diffraction imaging with a 1 mm-diameter beam, the SLADS algorithm enabled image reconstruction from a 7% sampling of the total volume and 12% sampling of the interior of the crystal. When implemented into the beamline at Argonne National Laboratory, without ground-truth images, an acceptable reconstruction was obtained with 3% of the image sampled and approximately 5% of the crystal. The incorporation of SLADS into X-ray diffraction acquisitions has the potential to significantly minimize the impact of X-ray exposure on the crystal by limiting the dose and area exposed for image reconstruction and crystal positioning using data collection hardware present in most macromolecular crystallography end-stations.

In addition to determining the quantity of impurities on a surface, TXRF can reveal information about the vertical distribution of contaminants by measuring the fluorescence signal as a function of the angle of incidence. In this study, two samples were intentionally contaminated with copper in non-deoxygenated and deoxygenated ultrapure water (UPW) resulting in impurity profiles that were either atomically dispersed in a thin film or particle-like, respectively. The concentration profile of the samples immersed into deoxygenated UPW was calculated using a theoretical concentration profile representative of particles, yielding a mean particle height of 16.1 nm. However, the resulting theoretical profile suggested that a distribution of particle heights exists on the surface. The fit of the angular distribution data was further refined by minimizing the residual error of a least-squares fit employing a model with a Gaussian distribution of particle heights about the mean height. The presence of a height distribution was also confirmed with atomic force microscopy measurements.

TI X-ray fluorescence at nanoscale resolution for multicomponent layered structures: a solar cell case study SO JOURNAL OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 9th International Workshop on X-Ray Radiation Damage to Biological Crystalline Samples CY MAR 09-11, 2016 CL Lund, SWEDEN DE thin film characterization; X-ray fluorescence; CIGS; multilayered structure; solar cell ID METAL IMPURITIES; SILICON; YIELDS AB The study of a multilayered and multicomponent system by spatially resolved X-ray fluorescence microscopy poses unique challenges in achieving accurate quantification of elemental distributions. This is particularly true for the quantification of materials with high X-ray attenuation coefficients, depth-dependent composition variations and thickness variations. A widely applicable procedure for use after spectrum fitting and quantification is described. This procedure corrects the elemental distribution from the measured fluorescence signal, taking into account attenuation of the incident beam and generated fluorescence from multiple layers, and accounts for sample thickness variations. Deriving from Beer-Lambert's law, formulae are presented in a general integral form and numerically applicable framework. The procedure is applied using experimental data from a solar cell with a Cu( In,Ga)Se-2 absorber layer, measured at two separate synchrotron beamlines with varied measurement geometries. This example shows the importance of these corrections in real material systems, which can change the interpretation of the measured distributions dramatically.

SPECIES is aimed at high-resolution ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS), near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS), X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) experiments. The beamline has two branches that use a common elliptically polarizing undulator and monochromator. The beam is switched between the two branches by changing the focusing optics after the monochromator. Both branches have separate exit slits, refocusing optics and dedicated permanent endstations. This allows very fast switching between two types of experiments and offers a unique combination of the surface-sensitive XPS and bulk-sensitive RIXS techniques both in UHV- and at elevated ambient-pressure conditions on a single beamline. Another unique property of the beamline is that it reaches energies down to approximately 27 eV, which is not obtainable on other current APXPS beamlines. This allows, for instance, valence band studies under ambient-pressure conditions. In this article the main properties and performance of the beamline are presented, together with selected showcase experiments performed on the new setup.

Exploiting TiO2 as a high-j insulator typically compromises leakage current and temperature stability of the film. In this work, the authors compare TiO2 mixed with either Al2O3 or HfO2 to form composite films Ti-Al-O and Ti-Hf-O, respectively, deposited by atomic layer deposition on both AlGaN/GaN and InAlN/GaN substrates. The authors investigated the compositional effects of the ternary compounds by varying the Al or Hf concentration, and the authors find that leakage current is reduced with increasing Al or Hf content in the film; with a maximum Al-content of 45%, leakage current is suppressed by about 2 orders of magnitude while for a maximum Hf-content of 31%, the leakage current is suppressed by more than 2 orders of magnitude compared to the reference TiO2 sample. Although the dielectric constant is reduced with increasing Al or Hf content, it is maintaining a high value down to 49, within the investigated compositional range. The crystallization temperature of the insulators was also studied and the authors found that the crystallization temperature depends on both composition and the content. For a Ti-Al-O film with Al concentration of 45%, the crystallization temperature was increased upward of 600 degrees C, much larger compared to that of the reference TiO2 film. The interface trap densities of the various insulators were also studied on both AlGaN/GaN and InAlN substrates. The authors found a minimal trap density of 2.2 x 10(12) eV(-1) cm(-2) for the Ti-Hf-O compound with 35% Hf. In conclusion, our study reveals that the desired high-j properties of TiO2 can be adequately maintained while improving other insulator performance factors. Moreover, Ti-Hf-O compounds displayed overall better performance than the Ti-Al-O composites. (C) 2016 American Vacuum Society.

Different from the typical microfluidic regime operating at low Reynolds number, inertial flow provides hydrodynamic manipulation, namely inertial focusing of particles at high flow speeds. Primary influences of inertial flow on particle motions are several: repulsive force from the wall due to a pressure buildup in the constriction between the wall and the particle, shear gradient lift force due to the parabolic flow profile at microscale, and secondary drag force in the cross-sectional direction due to channel curvature. These forces result in particle moving across the streamlines to certain predictable equilibrium positions in the flow. With regard to soft particles, their flow behavior and equilibrium positions may deviate from the theoretical predictions based on rigid particles. This study provides a proof-of-concept of inertial focusing-based separation of particles with different deformability. We demonstrated its capability by separating yeast cells and polystyrene particles of similar sizes in a double spiral channel.

TI Measuring Grain Boundary Character Distributions in Ni-Base Alloy 725 Using High-Energy Diffraction Microscopy SO METALLURGICAL AND MATERIALS TRANSACTIONS A-PHYSICAL METALLURGY AND MATERIALS SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID 5 MACROSCOPIC PARAMETERS; 3-DIMENSIONAL CHARACTERIZATION; AUTOMATED-ANALYSIS; SIZE DISTRIBUTION; COLD WORK; POLYCRYSTALS; RECRYSTALLIZATION; MICROSTRUCTURES; ALUMINUM; NICKEL AB We use high-energy X-ray diffraction microscopy (HEDM) to characterize the microstructure of Ni-base alloy 725. HEDM is a non-destructive technique capable of providing three-dimensional reconstructions of grain shapes and orientations in polycrystals. The present analysis yields the grain size distribution in alloy 725 as well as the grain boundary character distribution (GBCD) as a function of lattice misorientation and boundary plane normal orientation. We find that the GBCD of Ni-base alloy 725 is similar to that previously determined in pure Ni and other fcc-base metals. We find an elevated density of I 9 pound and I 3 pound grain boundaries. We also observe a preponderance of grain boundaries along low-index planes, with those along (1 1 1) planes being the most common, even after I 3 pound twins have been excluded from the analysis.

The AFM system can enable in-situ switching among these operation modes flexibly and thus benefit the discrimination of differences in mechanical properties and buried subsurface nanostructures. We demonstrate the potential of this platform for visualizing the subsurface defects of graphite. Our results show that tiny topographic edges are enhanced in acoustic oscillation signals whilst embedded defects and inhomogeneous in mechanical properties are made clearly distinguishable. The possibility of detecting subsurface defects in few-layer graphene is further discussed with first-principles calculations. (C) 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

TI Metal-Organic Polyhedra-Coated Si Nanowires for the Sensitive Detection of Trace Explosives SO NANO LETTERS LA English DT Article DE Silicon nanowire-based field-effect transistor; metal-organic polyhedra; molecular recognition; charge-transfer interaction; explosives detection ID FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTORS; SILICON NANOWIRES; NITRO-EXPLOSIVES; CLICK CHEMISTRY; SENSORS; DEVICES; CAGES; FUNCTIONALIZATION; NANOSENSORS; NANOCAGES AB Surface-modified silicon nano-wire-based field-effect transistors (SiNW-FETs) have proven to be a promising platform for molecular recognition in miniature sensors. In this work, we present a novel nanoFET device for the sensitive and selective detection of explosives based on affinity layers of metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs). The judicious selection of the geometric and electronic characteristics of the assembly units (organic ligands and unsaturated metal site) embedded within the MOP cage allowed for the formation of multiple charge-transfer (CT) interactions to facilitate the selective explosive inclusion. Meanwhile, the host-stabilized CT complex inside the cage acted as an effective molecular gating element to strongly modulate the electrical conductance of the silicon nanowires. By grafting the MOP cages onto, a SiNW-FET device, the resulting sensor showed a good electrical sensing capability to various, explosives, especially,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), with a detection limit below the nanomolar level. Importantly, coupling MOPs which have tunable structures and properties to SiNW-based devices may open up new avenues for a wide range of sensing applications, addressing various target analytes.

Novosad, Valentine Hoffmann, Axel TI Insulating Nanomagnets Driven by Spin Torque SO NANO LETTERS LA English DT Article DE Spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance; magnetization dynamics; spin-Hall effect; spin-transfer torque; yttrium iron garnet; platinum ID INSTABILITY; FILMS AB Magnetic insulators, such as yttrium iron garnet (Y3Fe5O12), are ideal materials for ultralow power spintronics applications due to their low energy dissipation and efficient spin current generation and transmission. Recently, it has been realized that spin dynamics can be driven very effectively in micrometer-sized Y3Fe5O12/Pt heterostructures by spin-Hall effects. We demonstrate here the excitation and detection of spin dynamics in Y3Fe5O12/Pt nanowires by spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance. The nanowires defined via electron-beam lithography are fabricated by conventional room temperature sputtering deposition on Gd3Ga5O12 substrates and liftoff. We observe field-like and antidamping-like torques acting on the magnetization precession, which are due to simultaneous excitation by Oersted fields and spin-Hall torques. The Y3Fe5O12/Pt nanowires are thoroughly examined over a wide frequency and power range. We observe a large change in the resonance field at high microwave powers, which is attributed to a decreasing effective magnetization due to microwave absorption. These heating effects are much more pronounced in the investigated nanostructures than in comparable micron-sized samples. By comparing different nanowire widths, the importance of geometrical confinements for magnetization dynamics becomes evident: quantized spin-wave modes across the width of the wires are observed in the spectra. Our results are the first stepping stones toward the realization of integrated magnonic logic devices based on insulators, where nanomagnets play an essential role.

From velocity and diffusion measurements; we experimentally determined the magnitude of forces between single particles and. the related physical properties.

We interpret the observed spectral changes as a combination of an ambipolar Burstein-Moss (BM) shift of the absorption edge due to band-filling under gate control, and-a quantum confined Franz-Keldysh (QCFK) effect, phenomena that have been proposed theoretically to occur for black phosphorus under an applied electric field. Distinct optical responses are observed depending on the flake thickness and starting carrier concentration. Transmission extinction modulation amplitudes of more than two percent are observed, suggesting the potential for use of black phosphorus as an active material in mid-infrared optoelectronic modulator applications.

Independently, electrical field is able to tune the electronic degree of freedom of functional materials-via, for example, the field-effect transistor (FET) configuration. Combining these two orthogonal approaches would allow discovery of new physical properties and phases going beyond the known phase space. Such experiments are, however, technically challenging and have not been demonstrated. Herein, we report a feasible strategy to prepare and measure FETs in a DAC by lithographically patterning the nanodevices onto the diamond culet. Multiple-terminal FETs were fabricated in the DAC using few-layer MoS2 and BN as the channel semiconductor and dielectric layer, respectively. It is found that the mobility, conductance, carrier concentration, and contact conductance of MoS2 can all be significantly enhanced with pressure. We expect that the approach could enable unprecedented ways to explore new phases and properties of materials under coupled mechano-electrostatic modulation.

Here, we report the evolution of surface magnetism of Co nanoislands on Cu(111) upon hydrogen adsorption and desorption with the hope of realizing reversible control of spin dependent tunneling. Spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy reveals three types of hydrogen-induced surface superstructures, 1H-(2 x 2), 2H-(2 x 2), and 6H-(3 x 3), with increasing H coverage. The prominent magnetic surface states of Co, while being preserved at low H coverage, become suppressed as the H coverage level increases, which can then be recovered by H desorption. First-principles calculations reveal the origin of the observed magnetic surface states by capturing the asymmetry between the spin-polarized surface states and identify the role of hydrogen in controlling the magnetic states. Our study offers new insights into the chemical control of magnetism in low-dimensional systems.

This research opens up for consideration a diverse range of facets on the support material, versus the single facet typically involved in wide-area growth of thin films. Here, we study the growth of ceria nanoarchitectures on practical anatase titania powders as a showcase inspired by recent experiments. Density functional theory (DFT)-based methods are employed to characterize and rationalize the broad array of low energy nanostructures that emerge. Using a bottom up approach, we are able to identify and characterize the underlying mechanisms for the facet-dependent growth of various ceria motifs on anatase titania based on formation energy. These motifs include OD clusters, 1D chains, 2D plates, and 3D nanoparticles. The ceria growth mode and morphology are determined by the interplay of several factors including the role of the common cation valence, the interface template effect for different facets of the anatase support, enhanced ionic binding for more compact ceria motifs, and the local structural flexibility of oxygen ions in bridging the interface between anatase and ceria structures.

The strongly ionizing electron beam is known to induce radiolysis of surrounding water molecules, leading to the formation of reactive radical species. In this study, we employ DNA-assembled Au nanoparticle superlattices (DNA-AuNP superlattices) as a model system to demonstrate that graphene and its derivatives can be used to mitigate electron beam-induced damage. We can image DNA-AuNP superlattices in their native saline environment when the liquid cell window material is graphene, but not when it is silicon nitride. In the latter case, initial dissociation of assembled AuNPs was followed by their random aggregation and etching. Using graphene-coated silicon nitride windows, we were able to replicate the observation of stable DNA-AuNP superlattices achieved with graphene liquid cells. We then carried out a correlative Raman spectroscopy and TEM study to compare the effect of electron beam irradiation on graphene with and without the presence of water and found that graphene reacts with the products of water radiolysis. We attribute the protective effect of graphene to its ability to efficiently scavenge reactive radical species, especially the hydroxyl radicals which are known to cause DNA strand breaks. We confirmed this by showing that stable DNA-AuNP assemblies can be imaged in silicon nitride liquid cells when graphene oxide and graphene quantum dots, which have also recently been reported as efficient radical scavengers, are added directly to the solution. We anticipate that our study will open up more opportunities for studying biological specimens using liquid-phase TEM with the use of graphene and its derivatives as biocompatible radical scavengers to alleviate the effects of radiation damage.

This is because this class of protein needs to be incorporated into a lipid bilayer representing its native environment, and in addition, many experimental conditions also require a solid support for stabilization and analytical purposes. The solid support substrate may, however, limit the protein functionality due to protein material interactions and a lack of physical space. We have in this work tailored the pore size and pore ordering of a mesoporous silica thin film to match the native cell-membrane arrangement of the transmembrane protein human aquaporin 4 (hAQP4). Using neutron reflectivity (NR), we provide evidence of how substrate pores host the bulky water-soluble domain of hAQP4, which is shown to extend 7.2 nm into the pores of the substrate. Complementary surface analytical tools, including quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) and fluorescence microscopy, revealed successful protein-containing supported lipid bilayer (pSLB) formation on mesoporous silica substrates, whereas pSLB formation was hampered on nonporous silica. Additionally, electron microscopy (TEM and SEM), light scattering (DLS and stopped-flow), and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) were employed to provide a comprehensive characterization of this novel hybrid organic-inorganic interface, the tailoring of which is likely to be generally applicable to improve the function and stability of a broad range of membrane proteins containing water-soluble domains.

Thus, the ability to precisely control the domain structures and accurately study their switching behaviors is critical to realize the next generation of novel devices based on domain wall functionalities. In this work, the introduction of a dielectric layer leads to the tunability of the depolarization field both in the multilayers and superlattices, which provides a novel approach to control the domain patterns of BiFeO3 films. Moreover, we are able to study the switching behavior of the first time obtained periodic 109 degrees stripe domains with a thick bottom electrode. Besides, the precise controlling of pure 71 degrees and 109 degrees periodic stripe domain walls enable us to make a clear demonstration that the exchange bias in the ferromagnet/BiFeO3 system originates from 109 degrees domain walls. Our findings provide future directions to study the room temperature electric field control of exchange bias and open a new pathway to explore the room temperature multiferroic vortices in the BiFeO3 system.

Among dendrimer encapsulated nanoparticles (NPs) of Au, Pd, Rh, or Pt loaded in mesoporous supports and the homogeneous analogues, the Au NPs led to the highest yield and highest diastereoselectivity of products in toluene at room temperature. The Au catalyst was stable and was recycled for at least six runs without substantial deactivation. Moreover, larger pore sizes of the support and the use of a hydrophobic solvent led to a high selectivity for the trans diastereomer of the product. The activation energy is sensitive to neither the size of Au NPs nor the support. A linear Hammett plot was obtained with a positive slope, suggesting an increased electron density on the carbonyl carbon atom in the rate-limiting step. IR studies revealed a strong interaction between MI and the gold catalyst, supporting the proposed mechanism, in which rate-limiting step involves an electrophilic attack of the aldehyde on the enolate formed from the deprotonated MI.

We show that by increasing salt concentration, PEG-AuNP monolayers transform from two-dimensional (2D) gas-like to liquid-like phase and eventually, beyond a threshold concentration, to a highly ordered hexagonal structure, as characterized by surface sensitive synchrotron X-ray reflectivity and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, the method allows control of the inplane packing in the crystalline phase by varying the K2CO3 and PEG-AuNPs concentrations and the length of PEG. Using polymer-brush theory, we argue that the assembly and crystallization is driven by the need to reduce surface tension between PEG and the salt solution. Our approach of taking advantage of the phase separation of PEG in salt solutions is general (i.e., can be used with any nanoparticles) leads to high-quality macroscopic and tunable crystals. Finally, we discuss how the method can also be applied to the design of orderly 3D structures.

Chen, Xian Hui Zhang, Yuanbo Wang, Feng TI Direct observation of the layer-dependent electronic structure in phosphorene SO NATURE NANOTECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID BLACK PHOSPHORUS; DIRAC FERMIONS; STOKES SHIFT; MOBILITY; GRAPHENE; CRYSTAL; EXCITON AB Phosphorene, a single atomic layer of black phosphorus, has recently emerged as a new two-dimensional (2D) material that holds promise for electronic and photonic technologies(1-5). Here we experimentally demonstrate that the electronic structure of few-layer phosphorene varies significantly with the number of layers, in good agreement with theoretical predictions. The interband optical transitions cover a wide, technologically important spectral range from the visible to the mid-infrared. In addition, we observe strong photoluminescence in few-layer phosphorene at energies that closely match the absorption edge, indicating that they are direct bandgap semiconductors. The strongly layer-dependent electronic structure of phosphorene, in combination with its high electrical mobility, gives it distinct advantages over other 2D materials in electronic and opto-electronic applications.

TI Development of an Index of Biotic Integrity for the Sand Hills Ecoregion of the Southeastern United States SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID STREAM FISH COMMUNITIES; SPATIAL SCALES; WATER-QUALITY; ASSEMBLAGES; MACROINVERTEBRATES; DIVERSITY; USA; ASSESSMENTS; PERSPECTIVE; MACROPHYTES AB We developed an index of biotic integrity (IBI) for the Sand Hills ecoregion within the upper Coastal Plain of the southeastern United States. This ecoregion exhibits differences in species composition among river basins and possesses a relatively depauperate fish fauna that has been affected by faunal homogenization. We also investigated whether this IBI could be improved by adding benthic macroinvertebrate information. Data collected from 70 wadeable stream sites were used to calculate 45 fish assemblage metrics. Twelve metrics within the categories of species richness, species composition, habitat guild, trophic guild, tolerance level, alien/invasive species, and individual fish condition were retained after screening all metrics for sensitivity to disturbance, redundancy, and ecological content. Heterogeneity of species composition among basins led to a greater reliance on richness, indicator species, trophic guild, and habitat guild metrics rather than on more geographically variable species composition metrics. Characteristic headwater assemblages provided the basis for some metrics, and invader species metrics were included to address faunal homogenization. The Sand Hills IBI (SHIBI) was more accurate ecoregion-wide than IBIs that were developed for portions of the Sand Hills, correctly classifying about 60% of the disturbed sites compared with less than 30% for the other IBIs. However, the SHIBI was not highly responsive to gradients in site quality, as indicated by an R-2 of 0.30 between SHIBI scores and instream habitat quality scores. This R2 value was improved to 0.49 by supplementing the SHIBI with a benthic macroinvertebrate index (the Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera index). We conclude that ecoregion-wide IBIs should (1) be based on ecoregion-wide data that characterize responses to disturbance and natural habitat gradients, (2) maintain a substantial ecological basis by including several metric classes, and (3) include metrics that address faunal homogenization where disturbance has increased the dispersion of nonnative species and native generalist species. In addition, combining information from different assemblages can enhance IBI responsiveness to disturbance and improve performance.

TI Understanding Multiscale Structural Changes During Dilute Acid Pretreatment of Switchgrass and Poplar SO ACS SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY & ENGINEERING LA English DT Article DE Switchgrass; Hybrid poplar; Dilute acid pretreatment; Small-angle neutron scattering; Wide angle X-ray diffraction; Lignin aggregation ID SMALL-ANGLE SCATTERING; X-RAY-SCATTERING; LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS; THERMOCHEMICAL PRETREATMENT; ENZYMATIC POLYMERIZATION; GRASS LIGNOCELLULOSE; CORN STOVER; CELL-WALLS; LIGNIN; CELLULOSE AB Biofuels produced from lignocellulosic biomas's hold great promise as a renewable alternative energy and fuel source. To realize a cost and energy efficient approach, a fundamental understanding of the deconstruction process is critically necessary to reduce biomass recalcitrance. Herein, the structural and morphological changes over multiple scales (5-6000 angstrom) in herbaceous (switchgrass) and woody (hybrid poplar) biomass during dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment were explored using neutron scattering and X-ray diffraction. Switchgrass undergoes a larger increase (20-84 angstrom) in the average diameter of the crystalline core of the elementary cellulose fibril than hybrid poplar (19-50 angstrom). Switchgrass initially forms lignin aggregates with an average size of 90 angstrom that coalesce to 200 angstrom, which is double that observed for hybrid poplar, 55-130 angstrom. Switchgrass shows a smooth-to-rough transition in the cell wall surface morphology unlike the diffuse-to smooth transition of hybrid poplar. Yet, switchgrass and hybrid poplar pretreated under the same experimental conditions result in pretreated switchgrass producing higher glucose yields (similar to 76 wt %) than pretreated hybrid poplar (similar to 60 wt %). This observation shows that other aspects like cellulose allomorph transitions, cellulose accessibility, cellular biopolymer spatial distribution, and enzyme-substrate interactions may be more critical in governing the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency.

Different proportions of acetone in water, ranging from 30 to 60%, were used for lignin fractionation. A higher concentration of acetone dissolved higher molecular weight fractions of the lignin. Fractionated organosolv lignin showed different molecular weight and functional groups. Higher molecular weight fractions exhibited more aliphatic and less phenolic OH than lower molecular weight fractions. Lower molecular weight fractions lead to more homogeneous structure compared to samples with a higher molecular weight. All fractions showed strong antioxidant activity.

TI High-Throughput Continuous Flow Synthesis of Nickel Nanoparticles for the Catalytic Hydrodeoxygenation of Guaiacol SO ACS SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY & ENGINEERING LA English DT Article DE Nickel nanoparticles; Microreactor; Millifluidics; Ex-situ catalytic fast pyrolysis; Hydrodeoxygenation; Lignin model compound ID SCALABLE PRODUCTION; OXYGEN REDUCTION; DROPLET REACTORS; MODEL COMPOUNDS; PYROLYSIS OIL; SCALE-UP; METAL; DEOXYGENATION; CONVERSION; SYSTEMS AB The translation of batch chemistries to high throughput flow methods addresses scaling concerns associated with the implementation of colloidal nanoparticle (NP) catalysts for industrial processes. A literature procedure for the synthesis of Ni-NPs was adapted to a continuous millifluidic (mF) flow method, achieving yields >60%. Conversely, NPs prepared in a batch (B) reaction under conditions analogous to the continuous flow conditions gave only a 45% yield. Both mF- and B-Ni-NP catalysts were supported on SiO2 and compared to a Ni/SiO2 catalyst prepared by traditional incipient wetness (IW) impregnation for the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of guaiacol under ex situ catalytic fast pyrolysis conditions (350 degrees C, 0.5 MPa). Compared to the IW method, both colloidal NPs displayed increased morphological control and narrowed size distributions, and the NPs prepared by both methods showed similar size, shape, and crystallinity. The Ni-NP catalyst synthesized by the continuous flow method exhibited similar H-adsorption site densities, site-time yields, and selectivities toward deoxygenated products compared to the analogous batch-prepared catalyst, and it outperformed the BY catalyst with respect to higher selectivity to lower oxygen content products and a 31-fold decrease in deactivation rate. These results demonstrate the utility of synthesizing colloidal Ni-NP catalysts using flow methods that can produce >27 g/day of Ni-NPs (equivalent to >0.5 kg of 5 wt % Ni/SiO2), while maintaining the catalytic properties displayed by the batch equivalent.

TI Determining Thermal Transport Properties for Softwoods Under Pyrolysis Conditions SO ACS SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY & ENGINEERING LA English DT Article DE Biomass; Conductivity; Diffusivity; Pyrolysis; Anisotropic ID LARGE WOOD PARTICLES; BIOMASS PYROLYSIS; CONDUCTIVITY; BIOFUELS; HEAT; COMBUSTION; FUELS; DIFFUSIVITY; FEEDSTOCKS; CONVERSION AB The thermal properties of biomass over a range of pyrolysis temperatures have been measured using a Transient Plane Source (TPS) instrument and a differential thermal analyzer (DTA). In this study, thermal property measurements were made on six softwoods: subalpine fir, Douglas fir, Engelmann spruce, loblolly pine, lodgepole pine, and ponderosa pine. Results from this method show that the average thermal conductivity for these softwoods decreases by almost a factor of 3, from 0.198 to 0.091 W/(m K), as the wood goes from ambient conditions to a pyrolysis temperature of 453 degrees C. Over the same temperature range the average thermal diffusivity increases from 0.313 to 0.427 mm(2)/s, and the specific heat decreases from 1.58 to 0.93 kJ/(kg K). Investigation of the anisotropic nature of heat transport through lignocellulosic biomass found that heat transport is generally three to four times faster along the grain of the wood than across the wood pores, and studies on the rate at which thermal conductivity and diffusivity change with temperature revealed only a slight increase over 50-300 degrees C. It has also been shown that the thermal conductivity of a material correlates strongly with the density throughout the pyrolysis regime. This correlation with density has been shown before for the moisture content of green wood but not through the range of material changes associated with pyrolysis. The direct measurement of these anisotropic thermal properties has the ability to enhance modeling of lignocellulosic biomass pyrolysis and provide new insight into heat transfer through a naturally occurring lignocellidosic material.

TI Estimation of Heat Transfer Coefficients for Biomass Particles by Direct Numerical Simulation Using Microstructured Particle Models in the Laminar Regime SO ACS SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY & ENGINEERING LA English DT Article DE Biomass; Pyrolysis; Heat transfer coefficient; Particle modeling; Direct numerical simulation ID FLUIDIZED-BED REACTOR; FAST PYROLYSIS; DEVOLATILIZATION; DISPERSION; MASS AB Direct numerical simulation of convective heat transfer from hot gas to isolated biomass particle models with realistic morphology and explicit microstructure was performed over a range of conditions in the laminar regime. Steady-state results demonstrated that convective interfacial heat transfer is dependent on the wood species. The computed heat transfer coefficients were shown to vary between the pine and aspen models by nearly 20%. These differences are attributed to the species-specific variations in the exterior surface morphology of the biomass particles. We also quantify variations in heat transfer experienced by the particle when positioned in different orientations with respect to the direction of Fluid flow. These results are compared to previously reported heat transfer coefficient correlations in the range of 0.1 < Pr < 1.5 and 10 < Re < 500. Comparison of these simulation results to correlations commonly used in the literature (Gunn, Ranz-Marshall, and Bird-Stewart-Lightfoot) shows that the Ranz-Marshall (sphere) correlation gave the closest h values to our steady-state simulations for both wood species, though no existing correlation was within 20% of both species at all conditions studied. In general, this work exemplifies the fact that all biomass feedstocks are not created equal, and that their species-specific characteristics must be appreciated in order to facilitate accurate simulations of conversion processes.

Glycans often conjugate with other biomolecules, such as proteins and lipids, and alter their properties and functions, so glycan characterization is essential for understanding the effects they have on cellular systems. However, the analysis of glycans is extremely difficult due to their complexity and structural diversity (i.e., the number and identity of monomer units, and configuration of their glycosidic linkages and connectivities). In this work, we coupled ion mobility spectrometry with mass spectrometry (IMS-MS) to characterize glycan standards and biologically important isomers of synthetic alpha Gal-containing O-glycans including glycotopes of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which is the causative agent of Chagas disease. IMS-MS results showed significant differences for the glycan structural isomers when analyzed in positive and negative polarity and complexed with different metal cations. These results suggest that specific metal ions or ion polarities could be used to target and baseline separate glycan isomers of interest with IMS-MS.

For commercial and research facilities, this is often restricted to preheating and some limited precooling of outdoor air. Most buildings rely on some form of heat for temperature control throughout the year, and some tap into available waste heat sources to fulfill some or all of this need. Expanding the reach of available waste heat would provide significant enhancement to a building's energy efficiency. Beyond this, tapping into waste heat streams to provide primary building heating in cold climates can open up new avenues for additional energy conservation.

It is shown that a 5 nm thick Ir layer grown by pulsed laser deposition in the same chamber as the YSZ film without breaking the vacuum is. the key to stabilizing Ir(001) epitaxial growth. Growth of the Ir seed layer with pure (001) orientation occurs only in a narrow growth temperature window from 550 to 750 degrees C, and the fraction of Ir(111) increases at substrate temperatures outside of this window. The Ir seed layer prevents exposure of the YSZ film to air during sample transfer and enables highly reproducible Ir(001) heteroepitaxy on YSZ buffered Si(001). In contrast, if Ir is grown;directly on a bare YSZ layer that was exposed to ambient conditions, the films are prone to change orientation to (111). These results reveal that preserving the chemical and structural purity of the YSZ surface is imperative for achieving Ir(001) epitaxy. The narrow range of the mosaic spread values from eight experiments demonstrates the high yield and high reproducibility of Ir(001) heteroepitaxy by this approach. The unproved Ir(001) epitaxial growth method is of great significance for integrating a variety of technologically materials such as diamond, graphene, and functional oxides on a Si platform.

In order to achieve this purpose, this contribution presents new approaches involving more sophisticated techniques of protein crystallization, not just for growing protein crystals of different sizes by using electric fields, but also for controlling crystal size and orientation. This latter was possible through the use of magnetic fields that allow to obtain protein crystals suitable for both high-resolution X-ray and neutron diffraction crystallography where big crystals are required. This contribution discusses some pros, cons and realities of the role of electromagnetic fields in protein crystallization research, and their effect on protein crystal contacts. Additionally, we discuss the importance of room and low temperatures during data collection. Finally, we also discuss the effect of applying a rather strong magnetic field of 16.5 T, for shorts and long periods of time, on protein crystal growth, and on the 3D structure of two model proteins.

Having a cover together with partial observability does cause ambiguity about the system behaviors desired to be kept secret, yet some information about secrets may still be leaked due to statistical difference between the occurrence probabilities of the secrets and their covers. In this paper, we propose a Jensen-Shannon divergence (JSD)-based measure to quantify secrecy loss in systems modeled as partially observed stochastic discrete event systems, which quantifies the statistical difference between two distributions, one over the observations generated by secret and the other over those generated by cover. We further show that the proposed JSD measure for secrecy loss is equivalent to the mutual information between the distributions over possible observations and that over possible system status (secret versus cover). Since an adversary is likely to discriminate more if he/she observes for a longer period, our goal is to evaluate the worst case loss of secrecy as obtained in the limit over longer and longer observations. Computation for the proposed measure is also presented. Illustrative examples, including the one with side-channel attack, are provided to demonstrate the proposed computation approach. Note to Practitioners-Secrecy is the ability to hide private information. For communicated information, this can be done through encryption or access control. However, the same is not possible for system behaviors, and in contrast, cover is introduced for providing ambiguity. Quantifying the ability to hide secrets is a challenge. This paper provides a means to quantify this in terms of a type of distance measure between a secret and its cover. A computation of the same is also provided for partially observed stochastic discrete event systems and illustrated through a cache's side-channel secrecy loss example.

Here, we report that WpaA (BAS0847) and WpaB (BAS5274) share features with membrane proteins involved in the assembly of O-antigen lipopolysaccharide in Gram-negative bacteria and propose that WpaA and WpaB contribute to the assembly of the SCWP in B. anthracis. Vegetative forms of the B. anthracis wpaA mutant displayed increased lengths of cell chains, a cell separation defect that was attributed to mislocalization of the S-layer-associated murein hydrolases BslO, BslS, and BslT. The wpaB mutant was defective in vegetative replication during early logarithmic growth and formed smaller colonies. Deletion of both genes, wpaA and wpaB, did not yield viable bacilli, and when depleted of both wpaA and wpaB, B. anthracis could not maintain cell shape, support vegetative growth, or assemble SCWP. We propose that WpaA and WpaB fulfill overlapping glycosyltransferase functions of either polymerizing repeat units or transferring SCWP polymers to linkage units prior to LCP-mediated anchoring of the polysaccharide to peptidoglycan. IMPORTANCE The secondary cell wall polysaccharide (SCWP) is essential for Bacillus anthracis growth, cell shape, and division. SCWP is comprised of trisaccharide repeats (-> 4)-beta-ManNAc-(1 -> 4)-beta-GlcNAc-(1 -> 6)-alpha-GlcNAc-(1 ->) with alpha-Gal and beta-Gal substitutions; however, the genetic determinants and enzymes for SCWP synthesis are not known. Here, we identify WpaA and WpaB and report that depletion of these factors affects vegetative growth, cell shape, and S-layer assembly. We hypothesize that WpaA and WpaB are involved in the assembly of SCWP prior to transfer of this polymer onto peptidoglycan.

TI Two Days of Calorie Deprivation Induced by Underfeeding and Aerobic Exercise Degrades Mood and Lowers Interstitial Glucose but Does Not Impair Cognitive Function in Young Adults SO JOURNAL OF NUTRITION LA English DT Article DE fatigue; depression; vigilance; working memory; reasoning; POMS ID NEGATIVE-ENERGY BALANCE; SLEEP LOSS; SUSTAINED OPERATIONS; HYPOGLYCEMIA IMPAIRS; ENVIRONMENTAL-STRESS; GLYCEMIC THRESHOLDS; FOOD-DEPRIVATION; VISUAL VIGILANCE; BLOOD-GLUCOSE; PERFORMANCE AB Background: In studies assessing the effects of acute undernutrition on cognitive function, volunteers are sedentary and findings are equivocal, even though glucose concentrations fall substantially. However, military personnel and endurance athletes often are underfed when physical demands, and consequently energy expenditure, are substantial. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether 2 d of near-total calorie deprivation,combined with aerobic exercise degraded cognitive performance and-mood. Methods: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design was used. Twenty-three volunteers 117 men (mean +/- SD age: 20.5 +/- 0.7 y) and 6 women (mean +/- SD age: 23.3 +/- 1.4 y); mean +/- SD body mass index (in kg/m(2)): 25 +/- 3] participated for 68 h, including a 51-h inpatient phase:in a calorie-deprived or fully fed state during which behavioral testing was conducted and interstitial glucose was monitored continuously. Mood and cognitive performance, including psychomotor and visual vigilance, visual match-to-sample, repeated acquisition (motor learning), N-back (working memory); and grammatical reasoning, were repeatedly assessed. During each condition, individual daily energy intake and expenditure were controlled. During calorie deprivation, volunteers consumed 266 +/- 61 kcal/d; during full feeding, they consumed 3935 +/- 769 kcal/d. Participants engaged in identical exercise sessions for 4 h/d at 40-65% of peak volume of oxygen uptake attained. Results: Calorie deprivation did not affect any aspect of cognitive performance, but produced robust effects on mood measured-by the Profile of Mood States, including increased tension (P < 0.001), fatigue (P < 0.001), and total mood disturbance (from -0.80 +/- 5.1 to 20.1 +/- 6.1; P< 0.001), and decreased vigor (P= 0.002), as indicated by treatment x trial (time) effects on ANOVA. Interstitial glucose concentrations were lower during calorie deprivation than in the fully fed condition (P = 0.002, treatment X trial interaction) and declined to 61 mg/dL by the end of the treatment condition. Conclusion: In healthy young men and women, 2 d of severe calorie deprivation in combination with substantial aerobic exercise adversely affects multiple aspects of mood, but not cognition, in spite of substantial reductions in interstitial glucose concentrations. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01603550.

Specifically, we will use this method to treat the partial differential equation for stationary heat conduction on S-2, in an inhomogeneous, anisotropic medium. The Galerkin method used to do this employs spatially well-localized, "small footprint", robust bases for the associated kernel space. The stiffness matrices arising in the problem have entries decaying exponentially fast away from the diagonal. Discretization is achieved by first zeroing out small entries, resulting in a sparse matrix, and then replacing the remaining entries by ones computed via a very efficient kernel quadrature formula for the sphere. Error estimates for the approximate Galerkin solution are also obtained. C1 [Narcowich, Francis J.; Rowe, Stephen T.; Ward, Joseph D.] Texas A&M Univ, Dept Math, College Stn, TX 77843 USA.

Rev. B 75 094113). MS-MEAM replaced almost all of the prior arbitrary choices of the MEAM electron densities, embedding energy, pair potential, and angular screening functions by using first-principles computations of energy/volume relationships for multiple reference crystal structures and transformation paths connecting those reference structures. This strategy reasonably captured diverse interactions between atoms with variable coordinations in a face-centered-cubic (fcc)-stable copper system. However, a straightforward application of the original MS-MEAM framework to model technologically useful hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) metals proved elusive. This work describes the development of an hcp-stable/fcc-metastable MS-MEAM to model titanium by introducing a new angular function within the background electron density description. This critical insight enables the titanium MS-MEAM potential to reproduce first principles computations of reference structures and transformation paths extremely well. Importantly, it predicts lattice and elastic constants, defect energetics, and dynamics of non-ideal hcp and liquid titanium in good agreement with first principles computations and corresponding experiments, and often better than the three well-known literature models used as a benchmark. The titanium MS-MEAM has been made available in the Knowledgebase of Interatomic Models (https://openkim.org/) (Tadmor et al 2011 JOM 63 17). C1 [Gibson, J. S.; Wilson, A.

Here, we highlight the key achievements in the development of new materials for efficient hydrogen and oxygen production in electrolysers and, in reverse, their use in fuel cells. A key issue addressed here is the degree to which the fundamental understanding of the synergy between covalent and non-covalent interactions can form the basis for any predictive ability in tailor-making real-world catalysts. Common descriptors such as the substrate-hydroxide binding energy and the interactions in the double layer between hydroxide-oxides and H---OH are found to control individual parts of the hydrogen and oxygen electrochemistry that govern the efficiency of water-based energy conversion and storage systems. Links between aqueous- and organic-based environments are also established, encouraging the 'fuel cell' and 'battery' communities to move forward together.

To emulate this fundamental process in electronic devices, we developed diffusive Ag-in-oxide memristors with a temporal response during and after stimulation similar to that of the synaptic Ca2+ dynamics. In situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle dynamics simulations both demonstrate that Ag atoms disperse under electrical bias and regroup spontaneously under zero bias because of interfacial energy minimization, closely resembling synaptic influx and extrusion of Ca2+, respectively. The diffusive memristor and its dynamics enable a direct emulation of both short- and long-term plasticity of biological synapses, representing an advance in hardware implementation of neuromorphic functionalities.

Here, we report observations of strong structural oscillations of Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-delta (BSCF) in the presence of both H2O vapour and electron irradiation using environmental transmission electron microscopy. These oscillations are related to the formation and collapse of gaseous bubbles. Electron energy-loss spectroscopy provides direct evidence of O-2 formation in these bubbles due to the incorporation of H2O into BSCF. SrCoO3-delta was found to exhibit small oscillations, while none were observed for La0.5Sr0.5CoO3-delta and LaCoO3. The structural oscillations of BSCF can be attributed to the fact that its oxygen 2p-band centre is close to the Fermi level, which leads to a low energy penalty for oxygen vacancy formation, high ion mobility, and high water uptake. This work provides surprising insights into the interaction between water and oxides under electron-beam irradiation.

TI Position-dependent termination and widespread obligatory frameshifting in Euplotes translation SO NATURE STRUCTURAL & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID CILIATE; DNA; SLIPPAGE; SCALE; YEAST; GENE; RNAS AB The ribosome can change its reading frame during translation in a process known as programmed ribosomal frameshifting. These rare events are supported by complex mRNA signals. However, we found that the ciliates Euplotes crassus and Euplotes focardii exhibit widespread frameshifting at stop codons. 47 different codons preceding stop signals resulted in either +1 or +2 frameshifts, and +1 frameshifting at AAA was the most frequent. The frameshifts showed unusual plasticity and rapid evolution, and had little influence on translation rates. The proximity of a stop codon to the 3' mRNA end, rather than its occurrence or sequence context, appeared to designate termination. Thus, a 'stop codon' is not a sufficient signal for translation termination, and the default function of stop codons in Euplotes is frameshifting, whereas termination is specific to certain mRNA positions and probably requires additional factors.

We analyzed water source dynamics in pinon pine and juniper trees subjected to precipitation reduction, atmospheric warming, and to both simultaneously. Pinon and juniper exhibited different and opposite shifts in water uptake depth in response to experimental stress and background climate over 3 yr. During a dry summer, juniper responded to warming with a shift to shallow water sources, whereas pinon pine responded to precipitation reduction with a shift to deeper sources in autumn. In normal and wet summers, both species responded to precipitation reduction, but juniper increased deep water uptake and pinon increased shallow water uptake. Shifts in the utilization of water sources were associated with reduced stomatal conductance and photosynthesis, suggesting that belowground compensation in response to warming and water reduction did not alleviate stress impacts for gas exchange. We have demonstrated that predicted climate change could modify water sources of trees. Warming impairs juniper uptake of deep sources during extended dry periods. Precipitation reduction alters the uptake of shallow sources following extended droughts for pinon. Shifts in water sources may not compensate for climate change impacts on tree physiology.

These studies have focused largely on the analysis of common genetic variants despite the abundance of rare polymorphisms in several species, and their potential role in trait variation. Here, we conducted the first GWAS in Populus deltoides, a genetically diverse keystone forest species in North America and an important short rotation woody crop for the bioenergy industry. We searched for associations between eight growth and wood composition traits, and common and low-frequency single-nucleotide polymorphisms detected by targeted resequencing of 18 153 genes in a population of 391 unrelated individuals. To increase power to detect associations with low-frequency variants, multiple-marker association tests were used in combination with single-marker association tests. Significant associations were discovered for all phenotypes and are indicative that low-frequency polymorphisms contribute to phenotypic variance of several bioenergy traits. Our results suggest that both common and low-frequency variants need to be considered for a comprehensive understanding of the genetic regulation of complex traits, particularly in species that carry large numbers of rare polymorphisms. These polymorphisms may be critical for the development of specialized plant feedstocks for bioenergy. C1 [Fahrenkrog, Annette M.; Neves, Leandro G.; Resende, Marcio F.

However, it remains unclear how changes in the biochemical capacity versus leaf anatomy drives this acclimation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine how growth light and nitrogen availability influence leaf anatomy, biochemistry and the efficiency of the CO2 concentrating mechanism in Miscanthus x giganteus. There was an increase in the mesophyll cell wall surface area but not cell well thickness in the high-light (HL) compared to the low-light (LL) grown plants suggesting a higher mesophyll conductance in the HL plants, which also had greater photosynthetic capacity. Additionally, the HL plants had greater surface area and thickness of bundle-sheath cell walls compared to LL plants, suggesting limited differences in bundle-sheath CO2 conductance because the increased area was offset by thicker cell walls. The gas exchange estimates of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPc) activity were significantly less than the in vitro PEPc activity, suggesting limited substrate availability in the leaf due to low mesophyll CO2 conductance. Finally, leakiness was similar across all growth conditions and generally did not change under the different measurement light conditions. However, differences in the stable isotope composition of leaf material did not correlate with leakiness indicating that dry matter isotope measurements are not a good proxy for leakiness. Taken together, these data suggest that the CO2 concentrating mechanism in Miscanthus is robust under low-light and limited nitrogen growth conditions, and that the observed changes in leaf anatomy and biochemistry likely help to maintain this efficiency.

The correlation between the distribution of B-cations and the lattice parameter in the form of Vegard's law is validated using atomic resolution energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The maps show negligible Mn intermixing in the LaNiO3 layer, while Ni intermixing in the LaMnO3 layer improves away from the substrate interface to 9.5 atomic% from the 8th period onwards, indicating that the superlattice interfacial sharpness is established as the distance from the substrate increases. The maps allow an observation of the compositional defects of the B-sites, which is not possible by Z-contrast alone. Thus, this study demonstrates a promising approach for atomic scale correlative study of lattice strain and composition, and a method for the calibration of atomic resolution EDS maps.

TI Effects of band anticrossing on the temperature dependence of the band gap of ZnSe1-xOx alloys SO SEMICONDUCTOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE band anticrossing; highly mismatched alloys; ZnSeO; band gap temperature dependence ID ZNOXSE1-X ALLOYS; QUANTUM-WELLS; GAASN ALLOYS; ENERGY; SEMICONDUCTORS; NITROGEN; OXYGEN AB Interband optical transitions in highly mismatched ZnSe1-xOx alloys with up to 1.35% O content have been studied with photoreflectance. Incorporation of oxygen results in a pronounced reduction of the temperature dependence of the energy gap of the alloy. A detailed analysis of the experimental data shows that t
