Ligeti, Zoltan TI Disentangling neutrino oscillations SO PHYSICS LETTERS B LA English DT Article ID PM-142 AB The theory underlying neutrino oscillations has been described at length in the literature. The neutrino state produced by a weak decay is usually portrayed as a linear superposition of mass eigenstates with, variously, equal energies or equal momenta. We point out that such a description is incorrect, that in fact, the neutrino is entangled with the other particle or particles emerging from the decay. We offer an analysis of oscillation phenomena involving neutrinos (applying equally well to neutral mesons) that takes entanglement into account. Thereby we present a theoretically sound proof of the universal validity of the oscillation formulae ordinarily used. In so doing, we show that the departures from exponential decay reported by the GSI experiment cannot be attributed to neutrino mixing. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the 'Mossbauer' neutrino oscillation experiment proposed by Raghavan, while technically challenging, is correctly and unambiguously describable by means of the usual oscillation formalae.

TI On the escape of particles from cosmic ray modified shocks SO MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE acceleration of particles; shock waves ID SUPERNOVA-REMNANTS; MAGNETIC-FIELD; STREAMING INSTABILITY; HIGH-ENERGY; ACCELERATION; AMPLIFICATION; WAVES; TURBULENCE; FRONTS; MODEL AB Stationary solutions to the problem of particle acceleration at shock waves in the non-linear regime, when the dynamical reaction of the accelerated particles on the shock cannot be neglected, are known to show a prominent energy flux escaping from the shock towards upstream infinity. On physical grounds, the escape of particles from the upstream region of a shock has to be expected in all those situations in which the maximum momentum of accelerated particles, p(max), decreases with time, as is the case for the Sedov-Taylor phase of expansion of a shell supernova remnant, when both the shock velocity and the cosmic ray induced magnetization decrease. In this situation, at each time t, particles with momenta larger than p(max)(t) leave the system from upstream, carrying away a large fraction of the energy if the shock is strongly modified by the presence of cosmic rays. This phenomenon is of crucial importance for explaining the cosmic ray spectrum detected at the Earth. In this paper, we discuss how this escape flux appears in the different approaches to non-linear diffusive shock acceleration, and especially in the quasi-stationary semi-analytical kinetic ones. We apply our calculations to the Sedov-Taylor phase of a typical supernova remnant, including in a self-consistent way particle acceleration, magnetic field amplification and the dynamical reaction on the shock structure of both particles and fields. Within this framework, we calculate the temporal evolution of the maximum energy reached by the accelerated particles and of the escape flux towards upstream infinity. The latter quantity is directly related to the cosmic ray spectrum detected at the Earth. C1 [Caprioli, D.] SNS, I-50125 Pisa, Italy.

Applications and tests of a new method SO MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE galaxies: distances and redshifts; galaxies: statistics; distance scale; large-scale structure of Universe ID DIGITAL SKY SURVEY; DATA RELEASE; CALIBRATION; FIELD; CATALOG; REQUIREMENTS; MAGNITUDES; TELESCOPE; EVOLUTION; MONITOR AB In Lima et al. we presented a new method for estimating the redshift distribution, N(z), of a photometric galaxy sample, using photometric observables and weighted sampling from a spectroscopic subsample of the data. In this paper, we extend this method and explore various applications of it, using both simulations and real data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). In addition to estimating the redshift distribution for an entire sample, the weighting method enables accurate estimates of the redshift probability distribution, p(z), for each galaxy in a photometric sample. Use of p(z) in cosmological analyses can substantially reduce biases associated with traditional photometric redshifts, in which a single redshift estimate is associated with each galaxy. The weighting procedure also naturally indicates which galaxies in the photometric sample are expected to have accurate redshift estimates, namely those that lie in regions of photometric-observable space that are well sampled by the spectroscopic subsample. In addition to providing a method that has some advantages over standard photo-z estimates, the weights method can also be used in conjunction with photo-z estimates e.g. by providing improved estimation of N(z) via deconvolution of N(z(phot)) and improved estimates of photo-z scatter and bias. We present a publicly available p(z) catalogue for similar to 78 million SDSS DR7 galaxies.

The HIFS-VNL's mission is to carry out studies of warm dense matter (WDM) physics using ion beams as the energy source; an emerging thrust is basic target physics for heavy ion-driven inertial fusion energy (IFE). These goals require an improved platform, labeled NDCX-II. Development of NDCX-II at modest cost was recently enabled by the availability of induction cells and associated hardware from the decommissioned advanced test accelerator (ATA) facility at LLNL Our initial physics design concept accelerates a similar to 30 nC pulse of Li(+) ions to similar to 3 MeV, then compresses it to similar to 1 ns while focusing it onto a mm-scale spot. It uses the ATA cells themselves (with waveforms shaped by passive circuits) to impart the final velocity tilt; smart pulsers provide small corrections. The ATA accelerated electrons; acceleration of non-relativistic ions involves more complex beam dynamics both transversely and longitudinally. We are using an interactive one-dimensional kinetic simulation model and multidimensional Warp-code simulations to develop the NDCX-II accelerator section. Both LSP and Warp codes are being applied to the beam dynamics in the neutralized drift and final focus regions, and the plasma injection process. The status of this effort is described.

The topics include: discussion of the conditions for quiescent beam propagation over long distances; and the electrostatic Harris instability and the transverse electromagnetic Weibel instability in highly anisotropic, intense one-component ion beams. In the longitudinal drift compression and transverse compression regions, collective processes associated with the interaction of the intense ion beam with a charge-neutralizing background plasma are described, including the electrostatic electron-ion two-stream instability, the multispecies electromagnetic Weibel instability, and collective excitations in the presence of a solenoidal magnetic field. The effects of a velocity tilt on reducing two-stream instability growth rates are also discussed. Operating regimes are identified where the possible deleterious effects of collective processes on beam quality are minimized. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Higher compression ratios can be achieved if the beam compression takes place in a plasma-filled drift region in which the space-charge forces of the ion beam are neutralized. Recently, a system of four cathodic arc plasma sources has been fabricated and the axial plasma density has been measured. A movable plasma probe array has been developed to measure the radial and axial plasma distribution inside and outside of a similar to 10-cm-long final focus solenoid (FFS). Measured data show that the plasma forms a thin column of diameter similar to 5 mm along the solenoid axis when the FFS is powered with an 8 T field. Measured plasma density of >= 1 x 10(13) cm(-3) meets the challenge of n(p)/Zn-b > 1, where n(p) and n(b) are the plasma and ion beam density, respectively, and Z is the mean ion charge state of the beam ions.

An ion beam propagating through background plasma may be subject to the electrostatic two-stream instability and the electromagnetic Weibel instability. The electrostatic two-stream instability may lead to longitudinal bunching of the beam pulse, and eventual longitudinal beam heating. Consequently, this could degrade the longitudinal compression of the beam pulse. Similarly, the electromagnetic Weibel instability may cause transverse filamentation of the beam, which may degrade transverse compression. in this paper, we use an eikonal (Wentzel-Kramer-Brillouin, WKB) approach to analyze the space-time development of the two-stream and Weibel instabilities during transverse and longitudinal compression of an intense heavy ion beam pulse propagating through neutralizing background plasma.

A first step in this direction, in which the polarization charge was added to the field solver, was described previously. Here we describe a fully implicit algorithm (which is analogous to the direct-implicit method for conventional particle-in-cell simulation), summarize a stability analysis of it, and describe several tests of the resultant code.

Linear equations of motion are derived that describe small-amplitude centroid oscillations induced by displacement and rotational misalignments of the focusing solenoids in the transport lattice, dipole steering elements, and initial centroid offset errors. These equations are analyzed in a local rotating Larmor frame to derive complex-variable "alignment functions" and "bending functions" that efficiently describe the characteristics of the centroid oscillations induced by both mechanical misalignments of the solenoids and dipole steering elements. The alignment and bending functions depend only on the properties of the ideal lattice in the absence of errors and steering, and have associated expansion amplitudes set by the misalignments and steering fields, respectively. Applications of this formulation are presented for statistical analysis of centroid oscillations, calculation of actual lattice misalignments from centroid measurements, and optimal beam steering.

Longitudinal beam compression by large factors has been demonstrated in the Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment (NDCX) with controlled ramps and forced neutralization. Using an injected 30-mA K+ ion beam with initial kinetic energy 0.3 MeV, axial compression leading to similar to 50-fold current amplification and simultaneous radial focusing to beam radii of a few mm have led to encouraging energy deposition approaching the intensities required for eV-range target heating experiments. We discuss the status of several improvements to our Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment and associated beam diagnostics that are under development to reach the necessary higher beam intensities, including (1) greater axial compression via a longer velocity ramp using a new bunching module with approximately twice the available volt seconds (Vs): (2) improved centroid control via beam steering dipoles to mitigate aberrations in the bunching module; (3) time-dependent focusing elements to correct considerable chromatic aberrations; and (4) plasma injection improvements to establish a plasma density always greater than the beam density, expected to be > 10(13) cm(-3).

Grisham, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research A 464 (2001) 315] could offer a feasible alternative path to positive ions as a heavy ion fusion driver beam, which would not suffer degradation due to electron accumulation in the accelerator and beam transport system, and which could be converted to a neutral beam by photodetachment near the chamber entrance if desired. Since then, experiments have demonstrated that negative halogen beams can be extracted and accelerated away from the gas plume near the source with a surviving current density close to what could be achieved with a positive ion of similar mass, and with comparable optical quality. in demonstrating the feasibility of halogen negative ions as heavy ion driver beams, ion-ion plasmas, an interesting and somewhat novel state of matter, were produced. These plasmas, produced near the extractor plane of the sources, appear, based upon many lines of experimental evidence, to consist of almost equal densities of positive and negative chlorine ions, with only a small component of free electrons. Serendipitousiy, the need to extract beams from this plasma for driver development provides a unique diagnostic tool to investigate the plasma, since each component - positive ions, negative ions, and electrons - can be extracted and measured separately. We discuss the relevance of these observations to understanding negative ion beam extraction from electronegative plasmas such as halogens, or the more familiar hydrogen of magnetic fusion ion sources. We suggest a concept that might improve negative hydrogen extraction by the addition of a halogen. The possibility and challenges of producing ion-ion plasmas with thin targets of halogens or, perhaps, salt is briefly addressed. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 [Grisham, L.

Present plans call for using about thirty induction cells to accelerate 30 nC of Li(+) ions to more than 3 MeV, followed by neutralized drift-compress ion. To heat targets to useful temperatures. the beam must be compressed to a millimeter-scale radius and a duration of about 1 ns. An interactive 1-D particle-in-cell simulation with an electrostatic field solver, acceleration-gap fringe fields, and a library of realizable analytic waveforms has been used for developing NDCX-II acceleration schedules. Axisymmetric simulations with WARP have validated this 1-D model and have been used both to design transverse focusing and to compensate for injection non-uniformities and radial variation of the fields. Highlights of this work are presented here. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 [Sharp, W. M.; Friedman, A.; Grote, D. P.] Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab, Livermore, CA 94550 USA.

An anomalous flashover phenomenon has been observed on the vacuum-insulator surface that limits the amplitude of the accelerating field. It has been suspected that a small component of high-frequency modes in the input pulse may be the cause of the breakdown. Simulation using MAFIA (MAxwell's equations by Finite Integration Algorithm) was conducted to investigate the fields on the insulator surface. A scaling law was proposed to reduce substantially the computational time in simulation. It is based on the hypothesis that the pattern of EM field for a given wavelength is independent of the wire spacing as long as the wavelength is much longer than the inter-wire spacing and the termination resistors are adjusted to maintain impedance matching. On the basis of these numerical simulations, we conclude that high-frequency modes, even at very low amplitudes, may indeed lead to the observed insulator flashover. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

The plasma source should operate at low neutral pressures and without strong externally applied fields. To produce long plasma columns, sources based upon ferroelectric ceramics with large dielectric coefficients have been developed. The source utilizes the ferroelectric ceramic BaTiO3 to form metal plasma. The drift tube inner surface of the Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment (NDCX) is covered with ceramic material. High voltage (similar to 8kV) is applied between the drift tube and the front surface of the ceramics. A BaTiO3 source comprised of five 20-cm-long sources has been tested and characterized, producing relatively uniform plasma in the 5 x 10(10) cm(-3) density range. The source was integrated into the NDCX device for charge neutralization and beam compression experiments, and yielded current compression ratios similar to 120. Present research is developing multi-meter-long and higher density sources to support beam compression experiments for high-energy-density physics applications. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

In this paper, we present an overview of different experimental techniques that have been used to study this field over the past decades. We also introduce a recently proposed novel technique to study HEDP that involves isochoric and uniform heating of extended targets using intense particle beams. The Gesellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung (GSI), Darmstadt, is a leading laboratory worldwide that is well known for its unique accelerator facilities. The construction of a new accelerator complex named FAIR (Facility for Antiprotons and Ion Research) will substantially increase the accelerator capabilities of GSI, which will make it possible to employ this new technique to study HEDP. In this paper we highlight some of the salient features of this proposed new method. We also note that in order to organize the construction of experimental facilities at FAIR and later to carry out experiments on HEDP, an international collaboration, named, HEDgeHOB (High Energy Density Matter generated by Heavy IOn Beams), has been organized. The work presented in this paper has been done within the framework of the HEDgeHOB Collaboration. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 [Tahir, N.

The WDM conditions are to be achieved by combined longitudinal and transverse space-charge neutralized drift compression of the ion beam to provide a hot spot on the target with a beam spot size of about 1 mm, and pulse length about 1-2 ns. As a technique for heating volumetric samples of matter to high-energy density, intense beams of heavy ions are capable of delivering precise and uniform beam energy deposition dE/dx, in a relatively large sample size, and the ability to heat any solid-phase target material. Initial experiments use a 0.3 MeV K(+) beam (below the Bragg peak) from the NDCX-I accelerator. Future plans include target experiments using the NDCX-II accelerator, which is designed to heat targets at the Bragg peak using a 3-6 MeV lithium ion beam. The range of the beams in solid matter targets is about 1 mu m, which can be lengthened by using porous targets at reduced density. We have completed the fabrication of a new experimental target chamber facility for WDM experiments, and implemented initial target diagnostics to be used for the first target experiments in NDCX-I. The target chamber has been installed on the NDCX-I beamline. The target diagnostics include a fast multi-channel optical pyrometer, optical streak camera, VISAR, and high-speed gated cameras. Initial WDM experiments will heat targets by compressed NDCX-I beams and will explore measurement of temperature and other target parameters. Experiments are planned in areas such as dense electronegative targets, porous target homogenization and two-phase equation of state. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 [Bieniosek, F.

Our hydrodynamic simulations show that the density inside the bubble can go up to the order of 1 g/cm(3), and the electron density due to ionization is 10(21)/cm(3). So the plasma coupling constant is found to be around 1 and the gas inside the bubble is in the Warm Dense Matter (WDM) regime. We simulate the light emission of SL with an optical model for thermal radiation which takes the finite opacity of the bubble into consideration. The numerical results obtained are compared with the experimental data and found to be very sensitive to the equation of state (EOS) used. As theories for the equation of state, as well as the opacity data, in the WDM regime are still very uncertain. we propose that SL may be a good low-cost experimental check for the EOS and the opacity data for matter in the WDM regime.

For benchmarking purposes, an extensive study has been performed for the simple case of hydrogen and helium targets in collisions with various ions.

TI Unraveling Deterministic Mesoscopic Polarization Switching Mechanisms: Spatially Resolved Studies of a Tilt Grain Boundary in Bismuth Ferrite SO ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS LA English DT Article ID FERROELECTRIC MATERIALS; THIN-FILMS; DISLOCATIONS; SRTIO3; EVOLUTION AB The deterministic mesoscopic mechanism of ferroelectric domain nucleation is probed at a single atomically-defined model defect: an artificially fabricated bicrystal grain boundary (GB) in an epitaxial bismuth ferrite film. Switching spectroscopy piezoresponse force microscopy (SS-PFM) is used to map the variation of local hysteresis loops at the GB and in its immediate vicinity. It is found that the the influence of the GB on nucleation results in a slight shift of the negative nucleation bias to larger voltages. The mesoscopic mechanisms of domain nucleation in the bulk and at the GB are studied in detail using phase-field modeling, elucidating the complex mechanisms governed by the interplay between ferroelectric and ferroelastic wall energies, depolarization fields, and interface charge. The combination of phase-field modeling and SS-PFM allows quantitative analysis of the mesoscopic mechanisms for polarization switching, and hence suggests a route for unraveling the mechanisms of polarization switching at a single defect level and ultimately optimizing materials properties through microstructure engineering.

We describe recent improvements to the algorithm used to merge these two signals into a single signal with improved dynamic range. The effect of modifications to the algorithm are evaluated by comparing profiles of water vapor mixing ratio from the lidar with radiosonde measurements over a six month period. The modifications that were implemented resulted in a reduction of the mean bias in the daytime water vapor mixing ratio from a 3% dry bias to well within 1%. This improvement was obtained by ignoring the temporal variation of the glue coefficients and using only the nighttime average glue coefficients throughout the entire diurnal cycle.

Using four progenitors, we explore a range of one-dimensional explosions at different energies and an asymmetric three-dimensional explosion. We find that the most reliable indicator of the presence of 26Al in unmixed ejecta is a very low S/Si ratio (similar to 0.05). Production of N in O/S/Si-rich regions is also indicative. The biologically important element P is produced at its highest abundance in the same regions. Proxies should be detectable in supernova ejecta with high spatial resolution multiwavelength observations, but the small absolute abundance of material injected into a proto-planetary disk makes detection unlikely in existing or forming stellar/planetary systems.

This system, nicknamed the "Clone," was found in a systematic search for bright arcs lensed by LRGs and brightest cluster galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 sample. Follow-up observations on the Subaru 8.2 m telescope on Mauna Kea and the Astrophysical Research Consortium 3.5 m telescope at Apache Point Observatory confirmed the lensing nature of this system. A simple lens model for the system, assuming a singular isothermal ellipsoid mass distribution, yields an Einstein radius of theta(Ein) = 3.82 +/- 0.03 or 14.8 +/- 0.1 h(-1) kpc at the lens redshift. The total projected mass enclosed within the Einstein radius is 2.10 +/- 0.03 x 10(12) h(-1) M(circle dot), and the magnification factor for the source galaxy is 27 +/- 1. Combining the lens model with our gVriz photometry, we find a (unlensed) star formation rate (SFR) for the source galaxy of 32 h(-1) M(circle dot) yr(-1), adopting a fiducial constant SFR model with an age of 100 Myr and E(B - V) = 0.25. With an apparent magnitude of r = 19.8, this system is among the very brightest lensed z >= 2 galaxies, and provides an excellent opportunity to pursue detailed studies of the physical properties of an individual high-redshift star-forming galaxy.

We investigate the dependence of brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) luminosity, and the distributions of satellite galaxy luminosity and satellite color, on cluster properties over the redshift range 0.1 <= z <= 0.3. The size of the data set allows us to make measurements in many bins of cluster richness, radius and redshift. We find that, within r(200) of clusters with mass above 3 x 10(13) h(-1) M(circle dot), the luminosity function (LF) of both red and blue satellites is only weakly dependent on richness. We further find that the shape of the satellite LF does not depend on cluster-centric distance for magnitudes brighter than (0.25)M(i) - 5log(10)h = - 19. However, the mix of faint red and blue galaxies changes dramatically. The satellite red fraction is dependent on cluster-centric distance, galaxy luminosity, and cluster mass, and also increases by similar to 5% between redshifts 0.28 and 0.2, independent of richness. We find that BCG luminosity is tightly correlated with cluster richness, scaling as L(BCG) similar to M(200)(0.3), and has a Gaussian distribution at fixed richness, with sigma(logL) similar to 0.17 for massive clusters. The ratios of BCG luminosity to total cluster luminosity and characteristic satellite luminosity scale strongly with cluster richness: in richer systems, BCGs contribute a smaller fraction of the total light, but are brighter compared to typical satellites. This study demonstrates the power of cross-correlation techniques for measuring galaxy populations in purely photometric data.

We identify an interesting ECS bump in the time evolution of HMXB numbers; this bump is caused by significantly increased production of wind-fed HMXBs 20-60 Myr post-starburst. The amplitude and age extent of the ECS bump depend on the strength of ECS kicks and the mass range of ECS progenitors. We also find that ECS-HMXBs form through a specific evolutionary channel that is expected to lead to binaries with Be donors in wide orbits. These characteristics, along with their sensitivity to ECS properties, provide us with an intriguing opportunity to probe ECS physics and progenitors through studies of starbursts of different ages. Specifically, the case of the Small Magellanic Cloud, with a significant observed population of Be-HMXBs and starburst activity 30-60 Myr ago, arises as a promising laboratory for understanding the role of ECS in neutron star formation.

During the observation, Mrk 421 was undergoing a large flare and the X-ray flux was variable, decreasing by similar to 50%, from 7.8 x 10(-10) to 3.7 x 10(-10) erg s(-1) cm(-2) in about 6 hr, followed by an increase by similar to 35%. Thanks to the broad bandpass coupled with high sensitivity of Suzaku, we measured the evolution of the spectrum over the 0.4-60 keV band in data segments as short as similar to 1 ks. The data show deviations from a simple power-law model, but also a clear spectral variability. The time-resolved spectra are fitted by a synchrotron model, where the observed spectrum is due to a exponentially cutoff power-law distribution of electrons radiating in uniform magnetic field; this model is preferred over a broken power law. As another scenario, we separate the spectrum into "steady" and "variable" components by subtracting the spectrum in the lowest-flux period from those of other data segments. In this context, the difference ("variable") spectra are all well described by a broken power-law model with photon index Gamma similar to 1.6, breaking at energy epsilon(brk) similar or equal to 3 keV to another photon index Gamma similar to 2.1 above the break energy, differing from each other only by normalization, while the spectrum of the "steady" component is best described by the synchrotron model. We suggest that the rapidly variable component is due to relatively localized shock (Fermi I) acceleration, while the slowly variable ("steady") component is due to the superposition of shocks located at larger distance along the jet, or due to other acceleration process, such as the stochastic acceleration on magnetic turbulence (Fermi II) in the more extended region.

We present and discuss evolutionary scenarios in which a white dwarf (WD) reaches the Chandrasekhar mass and potentially explodes in a SNe Ia. We consider Double Degenerate (DDS; merger of two WDs), Single Degenerate (SDS; WD accreting from H-rich companion), and AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn; WD accreting from He-rich companion) scenarios. The results are presented for two different star formation histories: burst (elliptical-like galaxies) and continuous (spiral-like galaxies). It is found that delay times for the DDS in our standard model (with common envelope efficiency alpha(CE) = 1) follow a power-law distribution. For the SDS we note a wide range of delay times, while AM CVn progenitors produce a short burst of SNe Ia at early times. The DDS median delay time falls between similar to 0.5 and 1 Gyr; the SDS between similar to 2 and 3 Gyr; and the AM CVn between similar to 0.8 and 0.6 Gyr depending on the assumed alpha(CE). For a Milky-Way-like (MW-like) galaxy, we estimate the rates of SNe Ia arising from different progenitors as: similar to 10(-4) yr(-1) for the SDS and AM CVn, and similar to 10(-3) yr(-1) for the DDS. We point out that only the rates for two merging carbon-oxygen WDs, the only systems found in the DDS, are consistent with the observed rates for typical MW-like spirals. We also note that DDS progenitors are the dominant population in elliptical galaxies. The fact that the delay time distribution for the DDS follows a power law implies more SNe Ia (per unit mass) in young rather than in aged populations. Our results do not exclude other scenarios, but strongly indicate that the DDS is the dominant channel generating SNe Ia in spiral galaxies, at least in the framework of our adopted evolutionary models. Since it is believed that WD mergers cannot produce a thermonuclear explosion given the current understanding of accreting WDs, either the evolutionary calculations along with accretion physics are incorrect, or the explosion calculations are inaccurate and need to be revisited.

We report that 2D thin film scaffolds composed of biocompatible polymer grafted carbon nanotubes (CNTs), can selectively differentiate human embryonic stem cells into neuron cells while maintaining excellent cell viability. According to fluorescence image analysis, neuron differentiation efficiency of poly(acrylic acid) grafted CNT thin films is significant greater than that on poly(acrylic acid) thin films. When compared with the conventional Poly-L-ornithine surfaces, a standard substratum commonly used for neuron culture, this new type thin film scaffold shows enhanced neuron differentiation. No noticeable cytotoxic effect difference has been detected between these two surfaces. The surface analysis and cell adhesion study have suggested that CNT-based surfaces can enhance protein adsorption and cell attachment. This finding indicates that CNT-based materials are excellent candidates for hESCs' neuron differentiation.

We observed that the amount of swCNT that partially dilute into the MgB2 matrix is lower than for double-wall (dw) CNT samples for the same nominal content. This C incorporation leads to an increase of the upper critical field (H-c2), with a maximum H-c2(0) extrapolated value of 33.5 T, expected for a two-gap superconductor in the dirty limit. At the same time, the fraction of swCNT that has not been incorporated into MgB2 lattice may retain their structural integrity acting as strong vortex pinning centers. In this case the optimum nominal swCNT content for increasing critical current density (J(c)) is in the range 7.5-10%at.

Local disturbances were introduced via small-scale wall patterns, and global distortions were induced through streamline curvature-driven pressure gradients. Local surface topologies included k-type diamond and d-type square elements; a smooth wall was examined for comparison purposes. Three global distortions were studied with each of the three surface topologies. Measurements included planar contours of the mean and fluctuating velocity via particle image velocimetry, Pitot pressure profiles, pressure sensitive paint and Schlieren photography. The velocity data were acquired with sufficient resolution to characterize the mean and turbulent flow structure and to examine interactions between the local surface roughness distortions and the imposed pressure gradients on the turbulence production. A strong response to both the local and global distortions was observed with the diamond elements, where the effect of the elements extended into the outer regions of the boundary layer. It was shown that the primary cause for the observed response was the result of local shock and expansion waves modifying the turbulence structure and production. By contrast, the square elements showed a less pronounced response to local flow distortions as the waves were significantly weaker. However, the frictional losses were higher for the blunter square roughness elements. Detailed quantitative characterizations of the turbulence flow structure and the associated production mechanisms are described herein. These experiments demonstrate fundamental differences between supersonic and subsonic rough-wall flows, and the new understanding of the underlying mechanisms provides a scientific basis to systematically modify the mean and turbulence flow structure all the way across supersonic boundary layers.

CA CDF Collaboration TI Search for Long-Lived Massive Charged Particles in 1.96 TeV p(p)over-bar Collisions SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID DYNAMICAL SUPERSYMMETRY BREAKING; HADRON COLLIDERS; DETECTOR AB We performed a signature-based search for long-lived charged massive particles produced in 1.0 fb(-1) of p (p) over bar collisions at root s 1.96 TeV, collected with the CDF II detector using a high transverse-momentum (p(T)) muon trigger. The search used time of flight to isolate slowly moving, high-p(T) particles. One event passed our selection cuts with an expected background of 1.9 +/- 0.2 events. We set an upper bound on the production cross section and, interpreting this result within the context of a stable scalar top-quark model, set a lower limit on the particle mass of 249 GeV/c(2) at 95% C.

CA BABAR Collaboration TI Improved Limits on Lepton-Flavor-Violating tau Decays to l phi, l rho, lK*, and l(K)over-bar* SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID MONTE-CARLO AB We search for the neutrinoless, lepton-flavor-violating tau decays tau(-)-> l(-) V(0), where l is an electron or muon and V(0) is a vector meson reconstructed as phi -> K(+) K(-), rho -> pi(+) pi(-), K* -> K(+) pi(-), (K) over bar*-> K(-) pi(+). The analysis has been performed using 451 fb(-1) of data collected at an e(+) e(-) center-of-mass energy near 10.58 GeV with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage rings. The number of events found in the data is compatible with the background expectation, and upper limits on the branching fractions are set in the range (2.6-19) x 10(-8) at the 90% confidence level.

TI Topological Change of the Fermi Surface in Ternary Iron Pnictides with Reduced c/a Ratio: A de Haas-van Alphen Study of CaFe2P2 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article AB We report a de Haas-van Alphen effect study of the Fermi surface of CaFe2P2 using low-temperature torque magnetometry up to 45 T. This system is a close structural analog of the collapsed tetragonal nonmagnetic phase of CaFe2As2. We find the Fermi surface of CaFe2P2 to differ from other related ternary phosphides in that its topology is highly dispersive in the c axis, being three dimensional in character and with identical mass enhancement on both electron and hole pockets (similar to 1.5). This suggests that when the bonding between pnictogen layers becomes important nesting conditions are not fulfilled. C1 [Coldea, Amalia I.; Andrew, C. M. J.; Bangura, A.

TI Energetic-Electron-Driven Instability in the Helically Symmetric Experiment SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID ALFVEN EIGENMODE OBSERVATIONS; STELLARATORS; PLASMAS; HSX AB Energetic electrons generated by electron cyclotron resonance heating are observed to drive instabilities in the quasihelically symmetric stellarator device. The coherent, global fluctuations peak in the plasma core and are measured in the frequency range of 20-120 kHz. Mode propagation is in the diamagnetic drift direction of the driving species. When quasihelical symmetry is broken, the mode is no longer observed. Experimental observations indicate that the unstable mode is acoustic rather than Alfveacutenic. C1 [Deng, C. B.; Brower, D.

TI Defect-Enhanced Charge Transfer by Ion-Solid Interactions in SiC using Large-Scale Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Simulations SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID DISPLACEMENT THRESHOLD ENERGIES; RADIATION; CERAMICS; SILICON; DENSITY; DAMAGE AB Large-scale ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of ion-solid interactions in SiC reveal that significant charge transfer occurs between atoms, and defects can enhance charge transfer to surrounding atoms. The results demonstrate that charge transfer to and from recoiling atoms can alter the energy barriers and dynamics for stable defect formation. The present simulations illustrate in detail the dynamic processes for charged defect formation. The averaged values of displacement threshold energies along four main crystallographic directions are smaller than those determined by empirical potentials due to charge-transfer effects on recoil atoms.

We propose a novel rationale for tuning the functional stability of a simple synthetic gene switch through protein dimerization. Introducing an approximation scheme to access long-time stochastic dynamics of multiple-component gene circuits, we find that the spontaneous switching rate may exhibit greater than 8 orders of magnitude variation. The manipulation of the circuit's biochemical properties offers a practical strategy for designing robust epigenetic memory with synthetic circuits.

We argue that a left-right asymmetry may appear at the away side by selecting triggers separately in the left and right sides of the reaction plane. A simple model estimation suggests that the magnitude of such asymmetry could reach 30% with details depending on the medium response mechanisms. This asymmetry, if observed, can help to distinguish competing theoretical models. C1 [Jia, Jiangyong; Wei, Rui] SUNY Stony Brook, Dept Chem, Stony Brook, NY 11794 USA.

The technique is applied to a ballistic carbon nanotube transistor in the presence of a time-harmonic signal at the gate. In the on state, the dynamic conductance exhibits plasmonic resonant peaks at terahertz frequencies. These vanish in the off state, and the dynamic conductance displays smooth oscillations, a signature of single-particle quantum effects. We show that the nanotube kinetic inductance plays an essential role in the high-frequency behavior. C1 [Kienle, Diego; Leonard, Francois] Sandia Natl Labs, Livermore, CA 94550 USA.

The ratio eta/s of the shear viscosity eta to the entropy density s is uniquely suited to determine how strongly the excitations in a quantum fluid interact. We determine eta/s in clean undoped graphene using a quantum kinetic theory. As a result of the quantum criticality of this system the ratio is smaller than in many other correlated quantum liquids and, interestingly, comes close to a lower bound conjectured in the context of the quark gluon plasma. We discuss possible consequences of the low viscosity, including preturbulent current flow. C1 [Mueller, Markus] Abdus Salam Int Ctr Theoret Phys, I-34014 Trieste, Italy.

These nanoclusters show two distinct regions: below the cusp point of the phase diagram (35 mol% DChol), a constant d spacing was observed; above the cusp, the d spacing increases linearly with DChol in accordance to Vegard's law for binary alloys. The components in this lipidic alloy are thus a 65:35 SM-DChol entity and excess DChol. Reflectivity data further support the emergence above the cusp of an uncomplexed DChol population with greater vertical mobility.

Access to femtosecond dynamics in major physical, chemical, and biological processes requires single-shot diffraction data. Up to now, this has been limited to intense coherent pulses from a free electron laser. Here we show that laser-driven ultrashort x-ray sources offer a comparatively inexpensive alternative. We present measurements of single-shot diffraction patterns from isolated nano-objects with a single 20 fs pulse from a table-top high-harmonic x-ray laser. Images were reconstructed with a resolution of 119 nm from the single shot and 62 nm from multiple shots.

TI Direct mechanical energy measures of hammer mill comminution of switchgrass, wheat straw, and corn stover and analysis of their particle size distributions SO POWDER TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Biomass size reduction; Hammer mill speed; Specific energy; Particle size distribution; Rosin-Rammler equation ID REQUIREMENTS; PERFORMANCE; REDUCTION; BIOMASS; GRIND AB Biomass particle size impacts handling, storage, conversion, and dust control systems. Size reduction mechanical energy was directly measured for switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L), wheat straw (Triticum aestivum L), and corn stover (Zea mays L.) in an instrumented hammer mill. Direct energy inputs were determined for hammer mill operating speeds from 2000 to 3600 rpm for 3.2 mm integral classifying screen and mass input rate of 2.5 kg/min with 90 degrees- and 30 degrees-hammers. Overall accuracy of specific energy measurement was calculated as +/- 0.072 MJ/Mg. Particle size distributions created by hammer mill were determined for mill operating factors using ISO sieve sizes from 4.75 to 0.02 mm in conjunction with Ro-Tap (R) sieve analyzer. A wide range of analytical descriptors were examined to mathematically represent the range of particle sizes in the distributions. Total specific energy (MJ/Mg) was defined as size reduction energy to operate the hammer mill plus that imparted to biomass. Effective specific energy was defined as energy imparted to biomass. Total specific energy for switchgrass, wheat straw, and corn stover grinding increased by 37, 30, and 45% from 114.4, 125.1, and 103.7 MJ/Mg, respectively, with an increase in hammer mill speed from 2000 to 3600 rpm for 90 degrees-hammers. Corresponding total specific energy per unit size reduction was 14.9, 19.7, and 13.5 MJ/Mg mm, respectively. Effective specific energy of 90 degrees-hammers decreased marginally for switchgrass and considerably for wheat straw and it increased for corn stover with an increase in speed from 2000 to 3600 rpm. However, effective specific energy increased with speed to a certain extent and then decreased for 30 degrees-hammers. Rosin-Rammler equation fitted the size distribution data with R(2)>0.995. Mass relative span was greater than 1, which indicated a wide distribution of particle sizes. Hammer milling of switchgrass, wheat straw, and corn stover with 3.2 mm screen resulted in 'well-graded fine-skewed mesokurtic' particles. Uniformity coefficient was <4.0 for wheat straw, which indicated uniform mix of particles, and it was about 4.0 for switchgrass and corn stover, which indicated a moderate assortment of particles. Size-related parameters, namely, geometric mean diameter, Rosin-Rammler size parameter, median diameter, and effective size had strong correlation among themselves and good negative correlation with speed. Distribution-related parameters, namely, Rosin-Rammler distribution parameter, mass relative span, inclusive graphic skewness, graphic kurtosis, uniformity index. uniformity coefficient, coefficient of gradation and distribution geometric standard deviation had strong correlation among themselves and a weak correlation with mill speed. Results of this extensive analysis of specific energy and particle sizes can be applied to selection of hammer mill operating factors to produce a particular size of switchgrass, wheat straw, and corn stover grind, and will serve as a guide for relations among the energy and various analytic descriptors of biomass particle distributions.

Yield loci (r(2) = 0.99) determined at preconsolidation pressures of 3.80 kPa and 5.02 kPa indicated that chopped biomass followed Mohr-Coulomb failure. Normal stress significantly affected the displacement required for shear failure, as well as the friction coefficient values for all three chopped biomass types. Displacement at shear failure ranged from 30 to 80 mm, and depended on preconsolidation pressure, normal stress, and particle size. Friction coefficient was inversely related to normal stress, and was highest for chopped corn stover. Also, chopped corn stover exhibited the highest angle of internal friction, unconfined yield strength, major consolidation strength, and cohesive strength, all of which indicated increased challenges in handling chopped corn stover. The measured angle of internal friction and cohesive strength indicated that chopped biomass cannot be handled by gravity alone. The measured angle of internal friction and cohesive strength were 43 degrees and 0.75 kPa for chopped switchgrass; 44 degrees and 0.49 kPa for chopped wheat straw; and 48 degrees and 0.82 kPa for chopped corn stover. Unconfined yield strength and major consolidation strength used for characterization of bulk flow materials and design of hopper dimensions were 3.4 and 10.4 kPa for chopped switchgrass: 2.3 and 9.6 kPa for chopped wheat straw and 4.2 and 11.8 kPa for chopped corn stover. These results are useful for the development of efficient handling, storage, and transportation systems for biomass in biorefineries. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Experimental Realization of a Three-Dimensional Topological Insulator, Bi2Te3 SO SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID HGTE QUANTUM-WELLS; SINGLE DIRAC CONE; SURFACE; PHASE; TRANSITION; STATE AB Three-dimensional topological insulators are a new state of quantum matter with a bulk gap and odd number of relativistic Dirac fermions on the surface. By investigating the surface state of Bi2Te3 with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we demonstrate that the surface state consists of a single nondegenerate Dirac cone. Furthermore, with appropriate hole doping, the Fermi level can be tuned to intersect only the surface states, indicating a full energy gap for the bulk states. Our results establish that Bi2Te3 is a simple model system for the three-dimensional topological insulator with a single Dirac cone on the surface. The large bulk gap of Bi2Te3 also points to promising potential for high-temperature spintronics applications. C1 [Chen, Y. L.; Analytis, J. G.; Chu, J. -H.; Liu, Z. K.; Mo, S. -K.; Qi, X. L.; Lu, D.

We use interfacial force microscopy to correlate mechanical properties with the two-dimensional phase behavior of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs). Upon indentation by a 500 lint tungsten tip, a contrast ill the mechanical response is observed for gel vs fluid phase SLBs. We Measure the yield force and time scale for recovery for these films. Consistent with a gel phase, it DSPC SLB has a relatively high yield force and slow recovery. In the higher mobility fluid phase, a DLPC SLB has it lower yield force and completely recovers within the experimental time scale. Friction measurements offer further contrast between the two SLBs.

We report the suppression of quantum dot blinking leading to a continuous photon flux from both organic and water soluble quantum dots and demonstrate their application as robust fluorescent point sources for ultrahigh resolution localization. In addition, we apply the polymer coating to cell samples immunostained with antibody conjugated QDs and show that fluorescence intensity from the polymer embedded cells shows no sign of degradation after 67 h of continuous excitation. The reported thin polymer film coating may prove advantageous for immuno-cyto/histo-chemistry as well as for the fabrication of quantum dot containing devices requiring a reliable and stable photon source (including a single photon source) or stable charge characteristics while maintaining intimate contact between the quantum dot and the surrounding matrix.

TI c-Myc activates multiple metabolic networks to generate substrates for cell-cycle entry SO ONCOGENE LA English DT Review DE NMR; isotopomer; stable isotope labeling; O-linked N-acetylglucosamine; glucose ID BETA-N-ACETYLGLUCOSAMINE; PROGRESSION; PROLIFERATION; TRANSCRIPTION; GENES AB Cell proliferation requires the coordinated activity of cytosolic and mitochondrial metabolic pathways to provide ATP and building blocks for DNA, RNA and protein synthesis. Many metabolic pathway genes are targets of the c-myc oncogene and cell-cycle regulator. However, the contribution of c-Myc to the activation of cytosolic and mitochondrial metabolic networks during cell-cycle entry is unknown. Here, we report the metabolic fates of [U-(13)C] glucose in serum-stimulated myc(-/-) and myc(+/+) fibroblasts by (13)C isotopomer NMR analysis. We demonstrate that endogenous c-myc increased (13)C labeling of ribose sugars, purines and amino acids, indicating partitioning of glucose carbons into C1/folate and pentose phosphate pathways, and increased tricarboxylic acid cycle turnover at the expense of anaplerotic flux. Myc expression also increased global O-linked N-acetylglucosamine protein modi. cation, and inhibition of hexosamine biosynthesis selectively reduced growth of Myc-expressing cells, suggesting its importance in Myc-induced proliferation. These data reveal a central organizing function for the Myc oncogene in the metabolism of cycling cells. The pervasive deregulation of this oncogene in human cancers may be explained by its function in directing metabolic networks required for cell proliferation.

This report shall demonstrate that doping chemistry of colloidal nanocrystals is much more complex than what has been proposed in the existing experimental and theoretical reports. Four individual processes, namely "surface adsorption", "lattice incorporation", "lattice diffusion", and "lattice ejection", will be identified, each of which possesses its own critical temperature. A given type of host nanocrystals can be switched from being impossible to dope to becoming successfully doped. The key is to program the reaction temperature to accommodate all elementary processes.

Fabrication of the OTMS SAMs and characterization using ellipsometry, contact angle, atomic force microscopy (AFM), grazing angle attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (GATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) are described. The characterization confirms that these monolayers exhibit a well-packed crystalline phase and a remarkably high degree of smoothness. Semiconductors deposited by vapor deposition onto the crystalline OTS SAM grow in a favorable two-dimensional layered growth manner which is generally preferred morphologically for high charge carrier transport. On the OTMS SAM treated dielectric, pentacene OFETs showed hole mobilities as high as 3.0 cm(2/)V.s, while electron mobilities as high as 5.3 cm(2/)V.s were demonstrated for C(60).

The mathematical model is formulated based on a thermodynamically consistent and fully conservative formulation, and is extended to model reactive flow by considering the reactant and product gases as two constituents of the system and modelling the conversion between these by a simple one-step reaction mechanism. This simplified model allows simulations using more appropriate chemico-thermodynamic properties of the combustible mixture and yields close Chapman-Jouguet detonation parameters from detailed chemistry. The governing equations are approximated using a high-resolution finite volume centred scheme in an adaptive mesh refinement code, permitting high-resolution simulations to be performed at flow regions of interest. The algorithm is tested and validated by comparing results to predictions of the one-dimensional linear stability analysis of the steady detonation and through the study of the evolution of two-dimensional cellular detonation waves in gaseous hydrogen-based mixtures.

The scattering potential contains a confining term and a spin-orbit contribution that is responsible for the spin-dependent scattering of electrons by the molecular target. The differential scattering cross section is calculated for right- and left-handed helices and for arbitrary electron spin polarizations. We apply our model to explain chiral effects in the intensity of photoemitted polarized electrons transmitted through thin organic layers. These are molecular interfaces that exhibit spin-selective scattering with surprisingly large asymmetry factors as well as a number of remarkable magnetic properties. In our model, differences in intensity are generated by the preferential transmission of electron beams whose polarization is oriented in the same direction as the sense of advance of the helix. This model can be easily extended to the Landauer regime of conductance where conductance is due to elastic scattering, so that we can consider the conductance of chiral molecular junctions.

Lucas, Pierre TI Simultaneous microscopic measurements of photodarkening and photoexpansion in chalcogenide films SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICS D-APPLIED PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID AS2S3 GLASS; STRUCTURAL RELAXATION; WAVE-GUIDES; TEMPERATURE; GRATINGS; LASERS AB A near-field scanning optical microscopic analysis is performed on As(2)S(3) film gratings in order to simultaneously collect index and topography images with sub-micrometre resolution. This technique makes it possible to unambiguously study the correlation between photodarkening and photoexpansion at the local scale. The development of a positive index change concomitantly with expansion or contraction in films of different thermal histories suggests that homopolar bonds are not a major contributor to the darkening effect. Photodarkening is instead associated with structurally stable defects that appear to be largely decoupled from the volume change mechanism. While photoexpansion and photodarkening follow the same growth kinetic during irradiation of annealed films with band-gap light, it is clearly shown that their structural origin is different. These results have relevance for grating fabrication since both the relief and the index patterns contribute to the grating efficiency, yet they appear to have distinct behaviour during processing or long-term stability.

The characterization of HAP surfaces on the molecular level is important for achieving a fundamenatal understanding of bone remodeling and dental caries processes. On the microscopic level, hydroxyapatite growth and dissolution reactions mainly occur at steps. Therefore, this study focuses on individual molecular steps on HAP (100) facets under both static conditions and dynamic dissolution conditions using atomic force microscopy (AFM). We found that molecular steps parallel to the elongated axes of HAP crystals and those angled approximately 54 degrees against the elongated axis are not only energetically favorable but also kinetically dominant under dissolution conditions.

A study of the influence of side chain lengths of ionic liquids (n = 4, 8, or 16) reveals that this parameter can be further used to fine-tune the morphologies of the products. This synthetic methodology can also be extended to the formation of patterned macroporous ZrO2 and Fe3O4 structures. Finally, the potential reasons for the formation of hierarchical structures are discussed and the implications to further research are proposed.

Variation of the spectral intensities observed at the Cc K-edge threshold implies modification in the Co 3d states and the enhancement of 3d-4f-5d hybridization. The Co 3d and Ce 4f occupation numbers were estimated from these spectroscopic results, The present study brings out how the surface-to-bulk ratio and the charge transfer between Cc and Co ions affect the electronic structure of nanothin films.

TI Reconstructing uniformly attenuated rotating slant-hole SPECT projection data using the DBH method SO PHYSICS IN MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID IMAGE-RECONSTRUCTION; HILBERT TRANSFORM; ECTOMOGRAPHY; COLLIMATOR; INVERSION AB This work applies a previously developed analytical algorithm to the reconstruction problem in a rotating multi-segment slant-hole (RMSSH) SPECT system. The RMSSH collimator has greater detection efficiency than the parallel-hole collimator with comparable spatial resolution at the expense of limited common volume-of-view (CVOV) and is therefore suitable for detecting low-contrast lesions in breast, cardiac and brain imaging. The absorption of gamma photons in both the human breast and brain can be assumed to follow an exponential rule with a constant attenuation coefficient. In this work, the RMSSH SPECT data of a digital NCAT phantom with breast attachment are modeled as the uniformly attenuated Radon transform of the activity distribution. These data are reconstructed using an analytical algorithm called the DBH method, which is an acronym for the procedure of differentiation backprojection followed by a finite weighted inverse Hilbert transform. The projection data are first differentiated along a specific direction in the projection space and then backprojected to the image space. The result from this first step is equal to a one-dimensional finite weighted Hilbert transform of the object; this transform is then numerically inverted to obtain the reconstructed image. With the limited CVOV of the RMSSH collimator, the detector captures gamma photon emissions from the breast and from parts of the torso. The simulation results show that the DBH method is capable of exactly reconstructing the activity within a well-defined region-of-interest (ROI) within the breast if the activity is confined to the breast or if the activity outside the CVOV is uniformly attenuated for each measured projection, while a conventional filtered backprojection algorithm only reconstructs the high frequency components of the activity function in the same geometry.

Single-molecule probes ideally exhibit good brightness, uninterrupted emission, resistance to photobleaching, and minimal spectral overlap with cellular autofluorescence. However, most single-molecule probes are imperfect in several of these aspects, and none have been shown to possess all of these characteristics. Here we show that individual lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs)-specifically, hexagonal phase NaYF(4) (beta-NaYF(4)) nanocrystals with multiple Yb(3+) and Er(3+) dopants-emit bright anti-Stokes visible upconverted luminescence with exceptional photostability when excited by a 980-nm continuous wave laser. Individual UCNPs exhibit no on/off emission behavior, or "blinking," down to the millisecond time-scale, and no loss of intensity following an hour of continuous excitation. Amphiphilic polymer coatings permit the transfer of hydrophobic UCNPs into water, resulting in individual water-soluble nanoparticles with undiminished photophysical characteristics. These UCNPs are endocytosed by cells and show strong upconverted luminescence, with no measurable anti-Stokes background autofluorescence, suggesting that UCNPs are ideally suited for single-molecule imaging experiments.

Optically pumping the arrays creates a conductive layer in the substrate, reducing the terahertz transmission amplitude of both the resonant mode and the direct transmission. Under low optical fluence, the terahertz transmission is more greatly affected by resonance damping than by propagation loss in the substrate.

An enhancement in the tunneling magnetoresistance is found when the CoFe is made amorphous compared to when it is crystalline. Ab initio electronic structure calculations show substantial differences in the band structures of crystalline and amorphous forms of bulk CoFe alloys but a decreased spin polarization at the Fermi energy in the amorphous phase. We speculate that the increased tunneling magnetoresistance is rather due to changes in bonding at the interface between Al(2)O(3) and CoFe. (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics.

In both simulation and experiment, the plasma flow is obstructed by even modest magnetic fields. A simple mechanism for this obstruction is suggested by our simulations. The configuration of the plasmoid's magnetic field plays a significant role in its compression. We analyze two types of plasma configurations under compression and demonstrate that the results from the simulations match those from the experiments, and that the mechanism predicts the different behaviors observed in the two cases.

Following the growth, the cooling in lower oxygen pressure results in the creation of oxygen vacancies at the surface of the BiFeO3 film and the epitaxial strain drives these vacancies to diffuse from the film surface to the film interface. The SrTiO3 substrate strongly absorbs oxygen vacancies from the BiFeO3 film while the DyScO3 substrate does not. Therefore, the depth distribution of oxygen vacancies depends on the oxygen pressure during cooling, the epitaxial strain, and the substrate absorbing oxygen vacancies.

TI Synthesis and Nanoscale Characterization of (NH4)(4)ThF8 and ThNF SO INORGANIC CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID THORIUM NITRIDES; OXIDATIVE AMMONOLYSIS; TETRAFLUORIDE; TRANSMUTATION; PRESSURE; URANIUM; SYSTEM AB Synthesis of (NH4)(4)ThF8 by a solid state reaction of ThO2 and NH4HF2 and the formation of ThNF by ammonolysis of (NH4)(4)ThF8 and ThF4 under different experimental conditions were investigated. The solid state reaction of ThO2 with NH4HF2 led to the terminal product (NH4)(4)ThF8 through a known intermediate (NH4)(3)ThF7 and most likely two other unknown chemical phases as determined by X-ray powder diffraction. Conversion of (NH4)(4)ThF8 into ThNF occurs through a ThF4 intermediate phase. Studies on the ammonolysis of ThF4 revealed it converted into ThNF through a continuous formation of low-stoichiometric thorium-nitride-fluorides such as ThN0.79F1.63 and ThN0.9F1.3. Thermal behavior of ThNF was also examined under different atmospheres and temperatures, with evaluation of formation kinetics. The ThNF decomposed to low-stoichiometric thorium nitride fluorides (ThNx/3F4-x) under different environments up to 1100 degrees C. Significant morphological changes in the products compared to that of the precursors confirmed the reaction steps involved. Microstructural characterization of (NH4)(4)ThF8 and ThNF were performed by HRTEM and are presented in this work for the first time. The (NH4)(4)ThF8 product was shown to contain polycrystalline characteristics in the majority of its nanostructure. On the other hand, ThNF has a high order of nanostructure, which explains the high thermal stability of the compound up to 1100 degrees C and the difficulty of making ThNx, in initial target product, from the described experimental conditions.

Currently, this is performed manually by trained personnel. In some visions of future operating rooms, however, this process is to be replaced by an automated system. Experiments to determine the best NIR wavelengths to optimize vein contrast for physiological differences such as skin tone and/or the presence of hair on the arm or wrist surface are presented. For illumination our system is composed of a mercury arc lamp coupled to a 10nm band-pass spectrometer. A structured lighting system is also coupled to our multispectral system in order to provide 3D information of the patient arm orientation. Images of each patient arm are captured under every possible combinations of illuminants and the optimal combination of wavelengths for a given subject to maximize vein contrast using linear discriminant analysis is determined.

The Laboratory for Adaptive Optics at UC Santa Cruz is investigating limits to high-contrast imaging in support of the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI). In this paper we examine the effect of heat sources in the testbed on point-spread-function (PSF) stability. Introducing a heat source primarily introduces image motion. The GPI error budget requires image motion to be less than 0.1 lambda/D. Systematic motion of the PSF core is typically 0.01 lambda/D rms and with a 20 watt heat source introduced near the pupil plane image motion is increased to 0.02 lambda/D rms. Therefore, even a heat source as large as 20 watts near the pupil plane causes errors below the GPI requirement, but the combination of the heat source and additional air turbulence on the system introduced by changes to the enclosure or the fan of other components can produce significantly more motion. Heat also can affect the speckle pattern in the high-contrast region, but in the final instrument other sources of error should be more significant.

CA D0 Collaboration TI Measurements of differential cross sections of Z/gamma* plus jets plus X events in p(p)over-bar collisions at root s=1.96 TeV SO PHYSICS LETTERS B LA English DT Article ID ALGORITHMS AB We present cross section measurements for Z/gamma* + jets + X production, differential in the transverse momenta of the three leading jets. The data sample was collected with the DO detector at the Fermilab Tevatron p (p) over bar collider at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1 fb(-1). Leading and next-to-leading order perturbative QCD predictions are compared with the measurements. and agreement is found within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties. We also make comparisons with the predictions of four event generators. Two parton-shower-based generators show significant shape and normalization differences with respect to the data. In contrast, two generators combining tree-level matrix elements with a parton shower give a reasonable description of the shapes observed in data. but the predicted normalizations show significant differences with respect to the data, reflecting large scale Uncertainties. For specific choices of scales, the normalizations for either generator can be made to agree with the measurements. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 [Abazov, V. M.; Alexeev, G.

The competition between the two production mechanisms results in a pt suppression in central collisions, the gluon multi-scattering in the initial stage leads to a high p, enhancement, and the regeneration populates J/psi s at low p, region and induces a minimum in R-AA(p(t)). These three phenomena are indeed observed in both 200 GeV Cu + Cu and Au + Au collisions at RHIC energy. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We show that in this model the known properties of vector unparticles - the nontrivial phase of the CFT propagator, the necessity and dominance of contact interactions, the Unitarity constraint on the conformal dimension of the operator, and the tensor structure dictated by conformal symmetry - follow by simple inspection of the brane-to-brane propagator. The phase has a physical interpretation as controlling the rate of escape Of Unparticles into the extra dimension. Requiring the correct sign for the imaginary part of the longitudinal polarization of the propagator, we obtain the unitarity condition m(5)(2) >= 0, which, unlike in the scalar case, is unchanged from flat space. This condition results in the unitarity bound d(v) >= 3, or, more generally, d(v) >= D - 1 for a vector unparticle in D-dimensional space. It is instructive to consider the RS2 propagator in (Euclidean) position space: at large distances it behaves as a pure CFT propagator, while at short distances it turns into the softer 5d flat space propagator. In contrast, in momentum space, at low momenta the CFT piece is subdominant to the "contact" interactions. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Structure of the RNA Polymerase Core-Binding Domain of sigma(54) Reveals a Likely Conformational Fracture Point SO JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE sigma(54); bacterial transcription; RNA polymerase; NMR structure; gene regulation ID CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; TRANSCRIPTION; SIGMA-54; DNA; HOLOENZYME; COMPLEX; PROTEIN; SEQUENCES; REGION; ACTIVATION AB Transcription initiation by bacterial sigma(54)-RNA polymerase requires a conformational change of the holopolymerase-DNA complex, driven by an enhancer-binding protein. Although structures of the core polymerase and the more common sigma(70) factor have been determined, little is known about the structure of the sigma(54) variant. We report here the structure of an Aquifex aeolicus sigma(54) domain (residues 69-198), which binds core RNA polymerase. The structure is composed of two distinct subdomains held together by a small, conserved hydrophobic interface that appears to act as a fracture point in the structure. The N-terminal, four-helical subdomain has a negative surface and conserved residues that likely contact the core polymerase, while the C-terminal, three-helical bundle has a strongly positive patch that could contact DNA. Sequence conservation indicates that these structural features are conserved and are important for the role of sigma(54) in the polymerase complex. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The resulting values of 815 618 181.57(18) and 815 606 727.59( 18) MHz, respectively, for (7)Li and (6)Li are in agreement with previous measurements but are more accurate by an order of magnitude. There is still a discrepancy of about 11.6 and 10.6 MHz from the latest theoretical values. This is comparable to the uncertainty in the theoretical calculations, while uncertainty in our experimental values is more than a hundred-fold smaller. More accurate theoretical calculation of the transition frequencies would allow extraction of the absolute charge radii for these stable isotopes, which in turn could improve nuclear charge radii values for the unstable lithium isotopes.

CA PHENIX Collaboration TI Gluon-Spin Contribution to the Proton Spin from the Double-Helicity Asymmetry in Inclusive pi(0) Production in Polarized p plus p Collisions at root s=200 GeV SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID PARTON DISTRIBUTIONS AB The double helicity asymmetry in neutral pion production for p(T) = 1 to 12 GeV/c was measured with the PHENIX experiment to access the gluon-spin contribution, Delta G, to the proton spin. Measured asymmetries are consistent with zero, and at a theory scale of mu 2 = 4 GeV2 a next to leading order QCD analysis gives Delta G([0.02,0.3]) = 0.2, with a constraint of -0.7 < Delta G([0.02,0.3]) < 0.5 at Delta chi(2) = 9 (similar to 3 sigma) for the sampled gluon momentum fraction (x) range, 0.02 to 0.3. The results are obtained using predictions for the measured asymmetries generated from four representative fits to polarized deep inelastic scattering data. We also consider the dependence of the Delta G constraint on the choice of the theoretical scale, a dominant uncertainty in these predictions. C1 [Adare, A.; Bickley, A.

A. Lany, Stephan Zunger, Alex TI Electronic Correlation in Anion p Orbitals Impedes Ferromagnetism due to Cation Vacancies in Zn Chalcogenides SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID ENERGY AB Electronic correlation effects, usually associated with open d or f shells, have so far been considered in p orbitals only sporadically for the localized 2p states of first-row elements. We demonstrate that the partial band occupation and the metallic band-structure character as predicted by local density calculations for II-VI materials containing cation vacancies is removed when the correct energy splitting between occupied and unoccupied p orbitals is recovered. This transition into a Mott-insulating phase dramatically changes the structural, electronic and magnetic properties along the entire series (ZnO, ZnS, ZnSe, and ZnTe), and impedes ferromagnetism. Thus, important correlation effects due to open p shells exist not only for first-row (2p) elements, but also for much heavier anions like Te (5p). C1 [Chan, J.

CA CLAS Collaboration TI Measurement of the Differential Cross Section for the Reaction gamma n -> pi(-)p from Deuterium SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID CHARGED PION-PHOTOPRODUCTION; SCALING LAWS; ENERGIES; PHOTODISINTEGRATION; MOMENTUM; MODEL; CLAS AB We report a measurement of the differential cross section for the gamma n -> pi(-)p process from the CLAS detector at Jefferson Laboratory in Hall B for photon energies between 1.0 and 3.5 GeV and pion center-of-mass (c.m.) angles (theta(c.m.)) between 50 degrees and 115 degrees. We confirm a previous indication of a broad enhancement around a c.m. energy (root s) of 2.1 GeV at theta(c.m.) = 90 degrees in the scaled differential cross section s7 d sigma/dt and a rapid falloff in a center-of-mass energy region of about 400 MeV following the enhancement. Our data show an angular dependence of this enhancement as the suggested scaling region is approached for theta(c.m.) from 70 degrees to 105 degrees.

Initial measurements of EBW emission, coupled from NSTX plasmas via double-mode conversion to O-mode waves, exhibited < 10% transmission efficiencies. Simulations show 80% of the EBW energy is dissipated by collisions in the edge plasma. Li conditioning reduced the edge collision frequency by a factor of 3 and increased the fundamental EBW transmission to 60%. C1 [Diem, S. J.; Caughman, J.

TI X-Ray Two-Photon Photoelectron Spectroscopy: A Theoretical Study of Inner-Shell Spectra of the Organic Para-Aminophenol Molecule SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID DOUBLE VACANCIES; GREENS-FUNCTION; K-SHELL; CORE AB The inner-shell single and double ionization spectra of the organic molecule para-aminophenol are calculated using many-body Green's function methods. The inner-shell double ionization spectrum displays more pronounced sensitivity to the chemical environment and to electronic many-body effects than does the inner-shell single ionization spectrum. A kinetic model is employed to determine the probability of inner-shell double hole formation in para-aminophenol exposed to an intense, 1 fs x-ray pulse. The resulting photoelectron spectrum at a photon energy of 1 keV is calculated. This work suggests that x-ray two-photon photoelectron spectroscopy using x-ray free-electron lasers will provide access to electronic-structure information not currently available.

TI Isospin Mixing in Nuclei within the Nuclear Density Functional Theory SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID PROJECTED HARTREE-FOCK; SYMMETRY; PROTON; STATES AB We present the self-consistent, nonperturbative analysis of isospin mixing using the nuclear density functional approach and the rediagonalization of the Coulomb interaction in the good-isospin basis. The unphysical isospin violation on the mean-field level, caused by the neutron excess, is eliminated by the proposed method. We find a significant dependence of the magnitude of isospin breaking on the parametrization of the nuclear interaction. A rough correlation has been found between the isospin-mixing parameter and the difference of proton and neutron rms radii.

The SDAPP materials had ion exchange capacities of 1.6 and 2.2 mequiv/g. The O(2) gas permeability in the SDAPP 2.2 was about half that observed in Nafion@ 112. The O(2) sorption in each membrane was measured in both the non-humidified and humidified state. In the non-humidified state, the O(2) sorption followed Henry's Law behavior. The enthalpy of sorption for the SDAPP materials in the dry state was about double that measured for Nafion@ 112. In the presence of moisture, the O(2) sorption followed Type IV behavior typically exhibited by hydrophilic polymers. The SDAPP samples had a higher percent wet-O(2) mass uptake compared to Nafion@ 112, because of a higher ion exchange capacity. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The molecular dynamics with quantum transitions(1,2) method is used including an "on the fly" calculation of the potential energy surfaces and electronic couplings. The results show that during the first 40 fs after a vertical photoexcitation to the S-2 state, the nonadiabatic coupling between S-2 and S-1 states causes a fast transfer of the electronic populations. A rapid decrease of the S-1-S-2 energy gap is observed, reaching a first conical intersection at approximate to 5 fs. Therefore, the first hopping events take place, and the S-2 state starts to depopulate. The analysis of the Structural and energetic properties of the molecule during the jumpsreveals the main role that the ethynylene triple bond plays in the unidirectional energy transfer process.

TI Infrared Spectroscopy of the Microhydrated Nitrate Ions NO3-(H2O)(1-6) SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID WATER CLUSTERS; BASIS-SETS; GAS-PHASE; ELECTRON; ANION; NO3; SIMULATIONS; INTERFACE; COMPLEXES; CHEMISTRY AB We present infrared photodissociation spectra of the microhydrated nitrate ions NO3-(H2O)(1-6), measured from 600 to 1800 cm(-1). The assignment of the spectra is aided by comparison with calculated B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ harmonic frequencies, as well as with higher-level calculations. The IR spectra are dominated by the antisymmetric stretching mode of NO3-, Which is doubly degenerate in the bare ion but splits into its two components for most microhydrated ions studied here due to asymmetric solvation of the nitrate core. However, for NO3-(H2O)(3), the spectrum reveals no lifting of this degeneracy, indicating an ion with a highly symmetric solvation shell. The first three water molecules bind in a bidentate fashion to the terminal oxygen atoms of the nitrate ion, keeping the planar symmetry. The onset of extensive water-water hydrogen bonding is observed starting with four water molecules and persists in the larger clusters.

Compared to the structural symmetries of its neighboring, cubic, alkali-metal analogs, i.e., the lighter Li(2)B(12)H(12) (Pa (3) over bar) and the heavier K(2)B(12)H(12) (Fm (3) over bar), Na(2)B(12)H(12) displays an intermediate monoclinic (P2(1)/n) structural arrangement. This result allows us to understand more thoroughly the effect of cation size on the observed structural behavior of this technologically relevant series of compounds.

However, in many SERS applications, the strongly inhomogeneous distribution of intense local fields makes it very difficult for a quantitive assessment of the fidelity, or reproducibility of the signal, which limits the application of SERS. Herein, we report the development of exceptionally high-fidelity hole-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (HERS) from ordered, 2D hexagonal nanohole arrays. We take the fidelity f to be a measure of the percent deviation of the Raman peaks from measurement to measurement. Overall, area averaged fidelities for 12 gold array samples ranged from f similar to 2-15% for HERS using aqueous R6G molecules. Furthermore, intensity modulations of the enhanced Raman spectra were measured for the first time as a function of polarization angle. The best of these measurements, which focus on static laser spots on the sample, could be consistent with even higher fidelities than the area-averaged results. Nanohole arrays in silver provided supporting polarization measurements and a more complete enhanced Raman fingerprint for phenylalanine molecules. We also carried out finite-difference time-domain calculations to assist in the interpretation of the experiments, identifying the polarization dependence as possibly arising from hole-hole interactions. Our results represent a step toward making quantitative and reproducible enhanced Raman measurements possible and also open new avenues for a large-scale Source of highly uniform hot spots.

We present the first formulation to beat this bound, one that uses O(vertical bar V vertical bar(2)) variables and O(vertical bar V vertical bar(3)) constraints. An immediate consequence of our result is a compact linear relaxation with O(vertical bar V vertical bar(2)) constraints and O(vertical bar V vertical bar(3)) variables for enforcing global connectivity constraints. This relaxation is as strong as standard cut-based relaxations and has applications in solving traveling salesman problems by integer programming as well as finding approximate solutions for survivable network design problems using Jain's iterative rounding method. Another application is a polynomial-time verifiable certificate of size n for for the NP-complete problem of l(1)-embeddability of a rational metric on an n-set (as opposed to a certificate of size n(2) known previously).

R. Jones' deterministic global optimization algorithm called DIRECT, which is widely used in multidisciplinary engineering design, biological science, and physical science applications. The package includes both a serial code and a data-distributed massively parallel code for different problem scales and optimization (exploration vs. exploitation) goals. Dynamic data structures are used to organize local data, handle unpredictable memory requirements, reduce the memory usage, and share the data across multiple processors. The parallel code employs a multilevel functional and data parallelism to boost concurrency and mitigate the data dependency, thus improving the load balancing and scalability. In addition, checkpointing features are integrated into both versions to provide fault tolerance and hot restarts. Important algorithm modifications and design considerations are discussed regarding data structures, parallel schemes, error handling, and portability. Using several benchmark functions and real-world applications, the software is evaluated on different systems in terms of optimization effectiveness, data structure efficiency, parallel performance, and checkpointing overhead. The package organization and usage are also described in detail. C1 [He, Jian; Watson, Layne T.] Virginia Polytech Inst & State Univ, Blacksburg, VA 24061 USA.

Amine-modified silica aerogels were prepared by copolymerizing small amounts of (aminopropyl)triethoxysilane with tetraethoxysilane. After silation of the aminated gels with hexamethyidisilazane, they were dried as aerogels using supercritical carbon dioxide processing. The resulting aerogels had only the amine groups as initiators For the cyanoacrylate polymerizations, resulting in cyanoacrylate macromolecules that were higher In molecular weight than those observed with unmodified silica and that were covalently attached to the silica surface, Starting with aminated silica aerogels that were 0.075 g/cm(3) density, composite aerogels were made with densities up to 0.220 g/cm(3) and up to 31 times stronger (flexural strength) than the precursor aerogel and about 2.3 times stronger than an unmodified silica aerogel of the same density.

We used semiconductor processing to photopattern Foturan glass wafers and fabricated gold-placed microscopic electrode needles (ElectroNeedles) that pierced 125-mu m-thick surfaces without deformation. The 5 x 5 or 10 x 10 arrays of ElectroNeedles can analyze 25 or 100 samples simultaneously, increasing throughput. Each microneedle in the array can also be individually addressed and selectively functionalized using diazonium electrodeposition, conferring multiplexing capability. Our microfabrication is a simple, inexpensive, and rapid alternative to the time-. cost-, and protocol-intense, deep-reactive-ion-etching Bosch process. We validated the system performance by electrochemically detecting p-cresol, a phenolic substrate for laccase, an enzyme that is implicated in lignin degradation and therefore important to biofuels. Our limits of detection (LOD) and quantization (LOQ) for p-cresol were 1,8 and 16 mu M, respectively, rivaling fluorescence detection (LOD and LOQ = 0.4 and 3 mu M, respectively). EleccroNeedles are multiplexed, high-through put, chip-based sensor arrays designed for minimally invasive penetration of plant surfaces, enabling in situ and point-of-test analyses of biofuel-related biochemicals.

Exposure of thin films of poly(a-methylstyrene)-block-poly(4-hydroxystyrene) to nonselective or block-selective solvent vapors results in polymer phase separation and self-assembly of patterns of cylindrical-phase or kinetically trapped spherical-phases, respectively. Poly(4-hydroxystyrene) acts as a high-resolution negative-tone photoresist in the presence of small amounts of a photoacid generator and cross-linker, undergoing radiation-induced cross-linking upon exposure to ultraviolet light or an electron beam. We use lithographic exposure to lock one self-assembled phase morphology in specific. sample areas as small as 100 nm in width prior to film exposure to a subsequent solvent vapor to form a second self-assembled morphology in unexposed wafer areas.

The results demonstrate that substitutional P and PN doping creates localized electronic states that modify the electron transport properties by acting as scattering centers. Nonetheless, for low doping concentrations (1 doping site per similar to 200 atoms), the quantum conductance for metallic nanotubes is found to be only slightly reduced. The substitutional doping also alters the mechanical strength, leading to a 50% reduction in the elongation upon fracture, while Young's modulus remains approximately unchanged. Overall, the PN- and P-doped nanotubes display promising properties for components in composite materials and, in particular, for fast response and ultra sensitive sensors operating at the molecular level.

Such applications require the production of monodisperse nanoparticles with well-controlled size, composition, and magnetic properties. To fabricate these materials purely using synthetic methods is costly in both environmental and economical terms. However, metal-reducing microorganisms offer an untapped resource to produce these materials. Here, the Fe(III)-reducing bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens is used to synthesize magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. A combination of electron microscopy, soft X-ray spectroscopy, and magnetometry techniques was employed to show that this method of biosynthesis results in high yields of crystalline nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution and magnetic properties equal to the best chemically synthesized materials. In particular, it is demonstrated here that cobalt ferrite (CoFe(2)O(4)) nanoparticles with low temperature coercivity approaching 8 kOe and an effective anisotropy constant of similar to 10(6) erg cm(-3) can be manufactured through this biotechnological route. The dramatic enhancement in the magnetic properties of the nanoparticles by the introduction of high quantities of Co into the spinel structure represents a significant advance over previous biomineralization studies in this area using magnetotactic bacteria. The successful production of nanoparticulate ferrites achieved in this study at high yields could open up the way for the scaled-up industrial manufacture of nanoparticles using environmentally benign methodologies.

TI The novel 2Fe-2S outer mitochondrial protein mitoNEET displays conformational flexibility in its N-terminal cytoplasmic tethering domain SO ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION F-STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY AND CRYSTALLIZATION COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article ID MEMBRANE PROTEIN; PIOGLITAZONE; DIFFRACTION AB A primary role for mitochondrial dysfunction is indicated in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. A widely used drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes is pioglitazone, a member of the thiazolidinedione class of molecules. MitoNEET, a 2Fe-2S outer mitochondrial membrane protein, binds pioglitazone [Colca et al. (2004), Am. J. Physiol. Endocrinol. Metab. 286, E252-E260]. The soluble domain of the human mitoNEET protein has been expressed C-terminal to the superfolder green fluorescent protein and the mitoNEET protein has been isolated. Comparison of the crystal structure of mitoNEET isolated from cleavage of the fusion protein (1.4 A resolution, R factor = 20.2%) with other solved structures shows that the CDGSH domains are superimposable, indicating proper assembly of mitoNEET. Furthermore, there is considerable flexibility in the position of the cytoplasmic tethering arms, resulting in two different conformations in the crystal structure. This flexibility affords multiple orientations on the outer mitochondrial membrane.

The response regulator YycF receives signals from its cognate histidine kinase YycG through a phosphotransfer reaction and elicits responses through regulation of gene expression. The N-terminal regulatory domain of YycF from Bacillus subtilis was overproduced and purified. The protein was crystallized and X-ray data were collected to 1.95 angstrom resolution with a completeness of 97.7% and an overall R(merge) of 7.7%.

TI Depth-sensing indentation of low-density brittle nanoporous solids SO ACTA MATERIALIA LA English DT Article DE Porous materials; Nanoindentation; Fracture ID SILICA AEROGELS; MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES AB Many applications of low-density nanoporous dielectrics are limited by their poor mechanical properties. Although nanoindentation is often used to evaluate the mechanical behavior of such materials, the physical meaning of the inelastic parameters measured by various indentation methods is not clear. Here, We Study low-density nanoporous Silica monoliths (aerogels) by nanoindentation using the most common indenter geometries (spherical, pyramidal and flat punches) and discuss the parameters measured. Results suggest that the deformation of the nanoporous Silica monoliths studied in this work is controlled by elastic bending and fracture of nanoligaments with no signs of plasticity. The contact pressure (Meyer hardness) increases with increasing strain and does not represent the foam "crushing pressure". The critical load for Hertzian fracture obeys the Auerbach law, and the formation of radial cracks and brittleness are strongly Suppressed by the presence of nanopores. We also discuss the choice of indenter geometry and provide recommendations that can be used to overcome some typical challenges of indentation Studies of low-density nanoporous solids, including very low contact stiffness for indenters with small contact areas, large Surface roughness inherent to this class of materials, spatial non-uniformity (skin layers on monoliths), viscoelasticity and elastic nonlinearity.

TI Onset of sidewise instability and cell-dendrite transition in directional solidification SO ACTA MATERIALIA LA English DT Article DE Directional solidification; Solidification microstructure; Cellular growth; Dendritic growth; Interface dynamics ID BINARY-ALLOYS; ARRAY GROWTH; STABILITY AB The transition from cellular to dendritic microstructure in directional solidification is investigated in succinonitrile (SCN)-camphor alloys. This transition is found not to be sharp, but Occurs locally over a range of velocities or thermal gradients, and the diffuseness of the transition is related to the existence of a range of primary spacing. Within the transition zone, critical cell spacing lambda(cd) is present where a cell just develops sidewise perturbations. An expression for the critical spacing for the onset of sidewise perturbation is obtained, and it is used to establish the conditions for the start and end of the transition. The results of the present study are then synthesized with those in the SCN-acetone system to incorporate the effect of system parameters on the onset of sidewise instability.

TI Anomalous triple junction surface pits in nanocrystalline zirconia thin films and their relationship to triple junction energy SO ACTA MATERIALIA LA English DT Article DE Transmission electron microscopy (TEM); Crystalline oxides; Thin films; Surface structure; Interface defects AB Triple junctions (TJs) are the lines where three grains or grain boundaries meet and become increasingly important in nanocrystalline materials where they have a high areal number density and occupy a significant fraction of the total volume of the material. Surface pits are associated with TJs, just as surface grooves are associated with grain boundaries, and these pits may have particularly deleterious effects on the behaviors of thin films. We evaluate the surface topography associated with TJs in nanocrystalline ZrO(2) thin films using thickness mapping images produced by energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM), and compare our results with theoretical predictions. While many of the pits conform to the standard theoretical treatment, some of them exhibit considerably increased depth, possibly indicating that the junctions have line energy. No pits were observed with less than the theoretically predicted depth. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The modification to the original dipole kernel for the dipole evolution at small x is proposed which accommodates important kinematical corrections. The techniques presented in this talk utilize the perturbation theory on the light-front. Using these techniques we construct recurrence relations for the wave-functions of gluons with arbitrary number of gluon components and with exact kinematics. In some special cases the recurrence relations can be solved exactly. By combining similar techniques for the fragmentation amplitudes one can derive the Parke-Taylor scattering amplitudes.

Stereoscopic particle image velocimetry data have been acquired for several locations downstream of the fin and at different fin angles of attack. The vortex's tangential velocity decays with downstream distance while its radius increases, but the vortex core circulation remains constant. Circulation and tangential velocity rise greatly for increased fin angle of attack, whereas the radius remains approximately constant or slightly decreasing. The vortex axial velocity is always a deficit, whose magnitude diminishes with downstream distance and smaller angle of attack. No variation with Mach number can be discerned in the normalized velocity data. Vortex roll up is largely complete by about four root chord lengths downstream of the fin trailing edge; before this point, the vortex is asymmetric in the tangential velocity but the core radius stays nearly uniform. Vortical rotation draws low-speed turbulent fluid from the wind-tunnel wall boundary layer and the fin wake toward the vortex core, which appears to hasten vortex decay and produce a larger axial velocity deficit than expected. Self-similarity of the vortex is established even while it is still rolling up. C1 [Beresh, Steven J.] Sandia Natl Labs, Engn Sci Ctr, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

This study was undertaken to investigate mineral transformations associated with microbial reduction of Fe3+ and oxidation of Fe2+ in solid minerals. A fluid sample from the 2450 in depth of the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling project was collected, and Fe3+-reducing and Fe2+-oxidizing microorganisms were enriched. The enrichment Cultures displayed reduction of Fe3+ in nontronite and ferric citrate, and oxidation of Fe2+ in vivianite, siderite, and monosulfide (FeS). Additional experiments verified that the iron reduction and oxidation was biological. Oxidation of FeS resulted in the formation of goethite, lepidocrocite, and ferrihydrite as products. Although Our molecular microbiological analyses detected Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus as a predominant organism in the enrichment Culture, Fe3+ reduction and Fe2+ oxidation may be accomplished by a consortia of organisms. Our results have important environmental and ecological implications for iron redox cycling in solid minerals in natural environments, where iron mineral transformations may be related to the mobility and solubility of inorganic and organic contaminants.

The measurements with a resolution of 1 mu m allow the quantitative determination of the deviatoric strain tensor as a function of position within the crystal investigated. The observed equivalent strain values of 800-1200 microstrains represent a lower bound of the actual preserved residual strain in the rock, since the stress component perpendicular to the cut sample surface plane is released. The measured equivalent strain translates into an equivalent stress ill the order of similar to 50 MPa.

We recently reported a robust liquid culture Y2H system based on quantitative analysis of yeast-enhanced green fluorescent protein (yEGFP) reporters that greatly increased the analysis throughput and compatibility with liquid handling robots. To further advance its utility in high-throughput complementary DNA (cDNA) library screening, we report the development of a novel surface display Y2H (sdY2H) library screening system with uniquely integrated surface display hemagglutination (sdHA) antigen and yEGFP reporters. By introduction of a surface reporter sdHA into the yEGFP-based Y2H system, positive Y2H targets are quickly isolated from library cells by a simple magnetic separation Without a large plating effort. Moreover, the simultaneous scoring of multiple reporters, including sdHA, yEGFP, and conventional nutrient markers, greatly increased the specificity of the Y2H assay. The feasibility of the sdY2H assay on large cDNA library screening was demonstrated by the successful recovery of positive P53/T interaction pairs at a target-to-background ratio of 1:1,000,000. Together with the massive parallel DNA sequencing technology, it may provide a powerful proteomic tool for high-throughput interactome mapping on a genomic scale. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc.

TI Evaluation of a 512-Channel Faraday-Strip Array Detector Coupled to an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mattauch-Herzog Mass Spectrograph SO ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID SPECTROCHEMICAL MEASUREMENTS; ICP-OES; SPECTROMETRY; PERFORMANCE; MS AB A 512-channel Faraday-strip array detector has been developed and fitted to a Mattauch-Herzog geometry mass spectrograph for the simultaneous acquisition of multiple mass-to-charge values. Several advantages are realized by using simultaneous detection methods, including higher duty cycles, removal of correlated noise, and multianalyte transient analyses independent of spectral skew. The new 512-channel version offers narrower, more closely spaced pixels, providing improved spectral peak sampling and resolution. In addition, the electronics in the amplification stage of the new detector array incorporate a sample-and-hold feature that enables truly simultaneous interrogation of all 512 channels. While sensitivity and linear dynamic range remain impressive for this Faraday-based detector system, limits of detection and isotope ratio data have suffered slightly from leaky p-n junctions produced during the manufacture of the semiconductor-based amplification and readout stages. This paper describes the new 512-channel detector array, the current dominant noise sources, and the figures of merit for the device as pertaining to inductively coupled plasma ionization.

TI Identification of Cross-Linked Peptides after Click-Based Enrichment Using Sequential Collision-Induced Dissociation and Electron Transfer Dissociation Tandem Mass Spectrometry SO ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID PROTEIN-PROTEIN INTERACTIONS; LINKING REAGENTS; CHEMISTRY; THROUGHPUT; QUATERNARY; COMPLEXES; SPECTRA AB Chemical cross-linking combined with mass spectrometry can be a powerful approach for the identification of protein-protein interactions and for providing constraints on protein structures. However, enrichment of cross-linked peptides is crucial to reduce sample complexity before mass spectrometric analysis. In addition compact cross-linkers are often preferred to provide short spacer lengths, surface accessibility to the protein complexes, and must have reasonable solubility under conditions where the native complex structure is stable. In this study, we present a novel compact cross-linker that contains two distinct features: (1) an alkyne tag and (2) a small molecule detection tag (NO(2)) to maintain reasonable solubility in water. The alkyne tag enables enrichment of the cross-linked peptides after proteolytic cleavage and coupling of an affinity tag using alkyne-azido click chemistry. Neutral loss of the small NO(2) moiety provides a secondary means of detecting cross-linked peptides in MS/MS analyses, providing additional confidence in peptide identifications. We show the labeling efficiency of this cross-linker, which we termed CLIP (click-enabled linker for interacting proteins) using ubiquitin, The enrichment capability of CUP is demonstrated for cross-linked ubiquitin in highly complex E. coli cell lysates. Sequential collision-induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry (CID-MS/MS) and electron transfer dissociation (EFD)-MS/MS of intercross-linked peptides (two peptides connected with a cross-linker) are also demonstrated for improved automated identification of cross-linked peptides.

Favorite, Jeffrey A. Aldemir, Tunc TI Using the Schwinger inverse method for solutions of inverse transport problems in two-dimensional cylindrical geometries SO ANNALS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY LA English DT Article AB The Schwinger method for solving inverse transport problems is applied to the problems of interface location identification, shield material identification, source isotope weight fraction identification, and material mass density identification (separately) in multilayered two-dimensional cylindrical gamma radiation source/shield systems. The method is iterative and estimates unknown interface locations, source isotope weight fractions, and material densities directly. while the unknown shield material is identified by estimating its total macroscopic gamma-ray cross sections. The energies of discrete gamma-ray lines emitted by the source are assumed to be known, while the unscattered flux of the lines is assumed to be measured at points external to the system. In numerical test cases, the Schwinger method correctly identifies the unknowns when the same deterministic ray-tracing code is used for both the parameter estimation process and simulation of the measured data. With realistic simulation of the measured data using a Monte Carlo code, the method produces more ambiguous results for interface location, shield material identification, and material density identification. The method works well for source weight fraction identification with measured data simulated by Monte Carlo. In addition to the application to more realistic (two-dimensional) problems, this paper extends previous work on the Schwinger inverse method by using surface formulas for unknown interface locations, automatic correction attempts for violated constraints, and ray-tracing instead of discrete-ordinates for transport calculations.

The quantum anomaly that breaks the U(1) axial symmetry of massless QCD leaves behind a flavor-singlet discrete chiral invariance. When the mass is turned on this residual symmetry has a close connection with the strong CP violating parameter theta. One result is that a first order transition is usually expected when the strong CP violating angle passes through pi. This symmetry can be understood either in terms of effective chiral Lagrangians or in terms of the underlying quark fields. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Community proteomic analysis of the genomically characterized sample and two other biofilms identified 64.6% and 44.9% of the predicted proteins of Leptospirillum groups II and III, respectively, and 20% of the predicted plasmid proteins. The bacteria share 92% 16S rRNA gene sequence identity and > 60% of their genes, including integrated plasmid-like regions. The extrachromosomal plasmid carries conjugation genes with detectable sequence similarity to genes in the integrated conjugative plasmid, but only those on the extrachromosomal element were identified by proteomics. Both bacterial groups have genes for community-essential functions, including carbon fixation and biosynthesis of vitamins, fatty acids, and biopolymers (including cellulose); proteomic analyses reveal these activities. Both Leptospirillum types have multiple pathways for osmotic protection. Although both are motile, signal transduction and methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins are more abundant in Leptospirillum group III, consistent with its distribution in gradients within biofilms. Interestingly, Leptospirillum group II uses a methyl-dependent and Leptospirillum group III a methyl-independent response pathway. Although only Leptospirillum group III can fix nitrogen, these proteins were not identified by proteomics. The abundances of core proteins are similar in all communities, but the abundance levels of unique and shared proteins of unknown function vary. Some proteins unique to one organism were highly expressed and may be key to the functional and ecological differentiation of Leptospirillum groups II and III. C1 [Goltsman, Daniela S.

Two sites were studied: Paymaster Creek in the Heddleston Mining District near Lincoln, Montana and the New World Mining District near Cooke City, Montana. The oldest deposits at both naturally acidic sites pre-date human mining activity by several thousand years, although there is recent human activity at both sites. Both sites have streams with high dissolved Fe and moderately low pH and actively accumulate schwertmannite on streambeds. Soil deposits away from the streambed at Paymaster Creek contained goethite with adsorbed sulfate. but no schwertmannite, suggesting either that the original conditions precluded schwertmannite precipitation or that diagenesis occurred rapidly converting the schwertmannite to goethite. The New World Mining District site showed the expected profile, which is a gradual transition from schwertmannite- and goethite-bearing soils to goethite-only soils. Concentrations of Cr, As and other trace elements shown to retard diagenesis were higher at the New World site than at the Paymaster site. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI Imaging and spectroscopy of defects in semiconductors using aberration-corrected STEM SO APPLIED PHYSICS A-MATERIALS SCIENCE & PROCESSING LA English DT Article ID TRANSMISSION ELECTRON-MICROSCOPE; SILICON; DEGRADATION; INTERFACE; LIMITS; ATOMS AB The distribution of single dopant or impurity atoms can dramatically alter the properties of semiconductor materials. The sensitivity to detect and localize such single atoms has been greatly improved by the development of aberration correctors for scanning transmission electron microscopes. Today, electron probes with diameters well below 1 A... are available thanks to the improved electron optics. Simultaneous acquisition of image signals and electron energy-loss spectroscopy data provides means of characterization of defect structures in semiconductors with unprecedented detail. In addition to an improvement of the lateral spatial resolution, depth sensitivity is greatly enhanced because of the availability of larger probe forming angles. We report the characterization of an alternate gate dielectric interface structure. Isolated Hf atoms are directly imaged within a SiO(2) thin film formed between an HfO(2) layer and the silicon substrate. Electron energy-loss spectroscopy shows significant changes of the silicon valence state across the interface structure.

Tin-117m ((117m)Sn), a promising radionuclide for therapeutic applications, and its production have been validated in the BR2 reactor. In contrast to therapeutic beta emitters, (117m)Sn decays via isomeric transition with the emission of monoenergetic conversion electrons which are effective for metastatic bone pain palliation and radiosynovectomy with lesser damage to the bone marrow and the healthy tissues. Furthermore, the emitted gamma photons are ideal for imaging and dosimetry. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. C1 [Ponsard, B.] CEN SCK, Belgian Nucl Res Ctr, B-2400 Mol, Belgium.

Herein we developed a novel experimental model of field-cancerization and precancerous lesions (globally termed herein precancerous tissue) in the hamster cheek pouch to explore the long-term potential inhibitory effect of the same BNCT protocols on the development of second primary tumors from precancerous tissue. Clinically, second primary tumor recurrences occur in field-cancerized tissue, causing therapeutic failure. We performed boron biodistribution studies followed by in vivo BNCT studies, with 8 months follow-up. All 3 BNCT protocols induced a statistically significant reduction in tumor development from precancerous tissue, reaching a maximum inhibition of 77-100%. The inhibitory effect of BPA-BNCT and (GB-10+BPA)-BNCT persisted at 51% at the end of follow-up (8 months), whereas for GB-10-BNCT it faded after 2 months. Likewise, beam-only elicited a significant but transient reduction in tumor development. No normal tissue radiotoxicity was observed. At 8 months post-treatment with BPA-BNCT or (GB-10+BPA)-BNCT, the precancerous pouches that did not develop tumors had regained the macroscopic and histological appearance of normal (non-cancerized) pouches. A potential new clinical application of BNCT would lie in its capacity to inhibit local regional recurrences. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. C1 [Hughes, A. Monti; Heber, E.

TI Dosimetry and radiobiology at the new RA-3 reactor boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) facility: Application to the treatment of experimental oral cancer SO APPLIED RADIATION AND ISOTOPES LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 13th International Congress on Neutron Capture Therapy CY NOV 02-08, 2008 CL Florence, ITALY DE Oral cancer; BNCT; Hamster cheek pouch; RA-3 reactor; Lithium-6 shielding ID HAMSTER-CHEEK POUCH; EXPERIMENTAL-MODEL; GB-10 AB The National Atomic Energy Commission of Argentina (CNEA) constructed a novel thermal neutron source for use in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) applications at the RA-3 research reactor facility located in Buenos Aires. The aim of the present study was to perform a dosimetric characterization of the facility and undertake radiobiological studies of BNCT in an experimental model of oral cancer in the hamster cheek pouch. The free-field thermal flux was 7.1 x 10(9) n cm(-2) s(-1) and the fast neutron flux was 2.5 X 10(6) n cm(-2) s(-1), indicating a very well-thermalized neutron field with negligible fast neutron dose. For radiobiological studies it was necessary to shield the body of the hamster from the neutron flux while exposing the everted cheek pouch bearing the tumors. To that end we developed a lithium (enriched to 95% in (6)Li) carbonate enclosure. Groups of tumor-bearing hamsters were submitted to BPA-BNCT, GB-10-BNCT, (GB-10+BPA)-BNCT or beam only treatments. Normal (non-cancerized) hamsters were treated similarly to evaluate normal tissue radiotoxicity. The total physical dose delivered to tumor with the BNCT treatments ranged from 6 to 8.5 Gy. Tumor control at 30 days ranged from 73% to 85%, with no normal tissue radiotoxicity. Significant but reversible mucositis in precancerous tissue surrounding tumors was associated to BPA-BNCT. The therapeutic success of different BNCT protocols in treating experimental oral cancer at this novel facility was unequivocally demonstrated. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI ASTROMETRIC REDSHIFTS FOR QUASARS SO ASTRONOMICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE astrometry; atmospheric effects; galaxies: distances and redshifts; quasars: emission lines; quasars: general ID DIGITAL-SKY-SURVEY; SURVEY PHOTOMETRIC SYSTEM; DATA RELEASE; TELESCOPE; SELECTION; CATALOG; ALGORITHM; MONITOR; SAMPLE; SDSS AB The wavelength dependence of atmospheric refraction causes differential chromatic refraction (DCR), whereby objects imaged at different optical/ultraviolet wavelengths are observed at slightly different positions in the plane of the detector. Strong spectral features induce changes in the effective wavelengths of broad-band filters that are capable of producing significant positional offsets with respect to standard DCR corrections. We examine such offsets for broad-emission-line (type 1) quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spanning 0 < z < 5 and an airmass range of 1.0-1.8. These offsets are in good agreement with those predicted by convolving a composite quasar spectrum with the SDSS bandpasses as a function of redshift and airmass. This astrometric information can be used to break degeneracies in photometric redshifts of quasars (or other emission-line sources) and, for extreme cases, may be suitable for determining "astrometric redshifts." On the SDSS's southern equatorial stripe, where it is possible to average many multi-epoch measurements, more than 60% of the quasars have emission-line-induced astrometric offsets larger than the SDSS's relative astrometric errors of 25-35 mas. Folding these astrometric offsets into photometric redshift estimates yields an improvement of 9% within Delta z +/- 0.1. Future multi-epoch synoptic surveys such as LSST and Pan-STARRS could benefit from intentionally making similar to 10 observations at relatively high airmass (AM similar to 1.4) in order to improve their photometric redshifts for quasars.

A metric is defined in a multidimensional color-magnitude space based only on the photometric properties of template sources and the photometric uncertainties of both templates and data, without the need to define ad hoc color and magnitude cuts which could bias the search. The metric is defined as a function of two parameters, the number of neighbors k and a threshold distance D(th) that can be optimized for maximum selection efficiency and completeness. We apply the method to the search of L and T dwarfs in the Spitzer Extragalactic First Look Survey and the Bootes field of the Spitzer Shallow Survey, as well as to the search of substellar mass companions around nearby stars. With high level of completeness, we confirm the absence of late-T dwarfs detected in at least two bands in the First Look Survey, and only one in the Shallow Survey (previously discovered by Stern et al.). This result is in agreement with the expected statistics for late-T dwarfs. One L/early-T candidate is found in the First Look Survey, and three in the Shallow Surveys, currently undergoing follow-up spectroscopic verification. Finally, we discuss the potential for brown dwarf searches with this method in the Spitzer warm mission Exploration Science programs.

DISCOVERY OF SIX QUASARS AT z(AB) > 21 SO ASTRONOMICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE cosmology: observations; quasars: emission lines; quasars: general ID BLACK-HOLE MASSES; Z-SIMILAR-TO-6 QUASARS; LUMINOSITY FUNCTION; DATA RELEASE; TELESCOPE; EVOLUTION; SYSTEM; CAMERA; REIONIZATION; PIPELINE AB We present the discovery of six new quasars at z similar to 6 selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) southern survey, a deep imaging survey obtained by repeatedly scanning a stripe along the celestial equator. The six quasars are about 2 mag fainter than the luminous z similar to 6 quasars found in the SDSS main survey and 1 mag fainter than the quasars reported in Paper I. Four of them comprise a complete flux-limited sample at 21 < z(AB) < 21.8 over an effective area of 195 deg(2). The other two quasars are fainter than z(AB) = 22 and are not part of the complete sample. The quasar luminosity function at z similar to 6 is well described as a single power law Phi(L-1450) proportional to L-1450(beta) over the luminosity range -28 < M-1450 < -25. The best-fitting slope beta varies from -2.6 to -3.1, depending on the quasar samples used, with a statistical error of 0.3-0.4. About 40% of the quasars discovered in the SDSS southern survey have very narrow Ly alpha emission lines, which may indicate small black hole masses and high Eddington luminosity ratios, and therefore short black hole growth timescales for these faint quasars at early epochs.

TI Multiwavelength observations of a rich galaxy cluster at z similar to 1 The HST/ACS colour-magnitude diagram SO ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS LA English DT Article DE galaxies: clusters: individual: XMMU J1229+0151; galaxies: high-redshift; galaxies: evolution ID ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI; HIGH-REDSHIFT CLUSTERS; ELLIPTIC GALAXIES; INTERMEDIATE REDSHIFT; POPULATION SYNTHESIS; CHEMICAL ENRICHMENT; LUMINOSITY FUNCTION; ADVANCED CAMERA; S0 GALAXIES; BLACK-HOLES AB Context. XMMU J1229+0151 is a rich galaxy cluster with redshift z = 0.975 that was serendipitously detected in X-rays within the scope of the XMM-Newton Distant Cluster Project. Both HST/ACS observations in the i(775) and z(850) passbands and VLT/FORS2 spectroscopy were obtained, in addition to follow-up Near-Infrared (NIR) imaging in the J- and Ks-bands with NTT/SOFI. Aims. We investigate the photometric, structural, and spectral properties of the early-type galaxies in the high-redshift cluster XMMU J1229+0151. Methods. Source detection and aperture photometry are performed in the optical and NIR imaging. Galaxy morphology is inspected visually and by means of Sersic profile fitting to the 21 spectroscopically confirmed cluster members in the ACS field of view. The i(775) - z(850) colour-magnitude relation (CMR) is derived with a method based on galaxy magnitudes obtained by fitting the surface brightness of the galaxies with Sersic models. Stellar masses and formation ages of the cluster galaxies are derived by fitting the observed spectral energy distributions (SED) with models developed by Bruzual & Charlot. Star-formation histories of the early-type galaxies are constrained by analysing the stacked spectrophotometric data. Results. The structural Sersic index n obtained by model fitting agrees with the visual morphological classification of the confirmed members, indicating a clear predominance of elliptical galaxies (15/21). The i(775)-z(850) colour-magnitude relation of the spectroscopic members shows a very tight red-sequence with a zero point of 0.86 +/- 0.04 mag, and intrinsic scatter equal to 0.039 mag. The CMR obtained with the galaxy models has similar parameters. By fitting both the spectra and SED of the early-type population, we obtain a star-formation-weighted age of 4.3 Gyr for a median galaxy stellar-mass of 7.4 x 10(10) M(circle dot). Instead of identifying a brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) unambiguously, we find three bright galaxies with a similar z850 magnitude, which are, in addition, the most massive cluster members, with similar to 2 x 10(11) M(circle dot). Our results strengthen the current evidence of a lack of significant evolution in both the scatter and slope of the red-sequence out to z similar to 1. C1 [Santos, J.

Large scale applications SO ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS LA English DT Article DE radiative transfer ID OPERATOR PERTURBATION; EQUATION AB Aims. A solution of the radiative-transfer problem in arbitrary velocity fields introduced in a previous paper, has limitations in its applicability. For large-scale applications, the methods described also require large memory sets that are commonly not available to state-of-the-art computing hardware. In this work, we modify the algorithm to allow the computation of large-scale problems. Methods. We reduce the memory footprint via a domain decomposition. By introducing iterative Gauss-Seidel type solvers, we improve the speed of the overall computation. Because of the domain decomposition, the new algorithm requires the use of parallel-computing systems. Results. The algorithm that we present permits large-scale solutions of radiative-transfer problems that include arbitrary wavelength couplings. In addition, we discover a quasi-analytic formal solution of the radiative transfer that significantly improves the overall computation speed. More importantly, this method ensures that our algorithm can be applied to multi-dimensional Lagrangian radiative-transfer calculations. In multi-dimensional atmospheres, velocity fields are in general chaotic ensuring that the inclusion of arbitrary wavelength couplings are mandatory. C1 [Knop, S.; Hauschildt, P.

Phenomenological picture of electron acceleration and predictions for MeV/GeV emission SO ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS LA English DT Article DE galaxies: active; galaxies: BL Lacertae objects: individual: Mrk 421; X-rays: individuals: Mrk 421; radiation mechanisms: non-thermal; acceleration of particles ID STOCHASTIC PARTICLE-ACCELERATION; TEVBL LACERTAE OBJECTS; LOG-PARABOLIC SPECTRA; RAY-BURST AFTERGLOW; GAMMA-RAYS; PHYSICAL CONSTRAINTS; SYNCHROTRON EMISSION; RELATIVISTIC SHOCKS; TELESCOPE; BLAZARS AB Aims. We present the results of a deep spectral analysis of all Swift observations of Mrk 421 between April 2006 and July 2006, when it reached its highest X-ray flux recorded until the end of 2006. The peak flux was about 85 milli-Crab in the 2.0-10.0 keV band, and the peak energy (E(p)) of the spectral energy distribution ( SED) was often at energies higher than 10 keV. We study trends between the spectral parameters, and the physical insights the parameters provide into the underlying acceleration and emission mechanisms. Methods. We performed a spectral analysis of Swift observations to investigate trends between the spectral parameters. We searched for acceleration and energetic features phenomenologically linked to the SSC model parameters, by predicting their effects in the gamma-ray band, and in particular, the spectral shape expected in the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope-LAT band. Results. We confirm that the X-ray spectrum is described well by a log-parabolic distribution close to E(p), that the peak flux of the SED (S(p)) is correlated with E(p), and that E(p) is anti-correlated with the curvature parameter (b). The spectral evolution in the Hardness-ratio-flux plane shows both clockwise and counter-clockwise patterns. During the most energetic flares, the UV-to-soft-X-ray spectral shape requires an electron distribution spectral index of s similar or equal to 2.3. Conclusions. We demonstrate that the UV-to-X-ray emission from Mrk 421 is probably generated by a population of electrons that is actually curved, and has a low energy power-law tail. The observed spectral curvature is consistent with both stochastic acceleration or energy-dependent acceleration probability mechanisms, whereas the power-law slope of XRT-UVOT data is close to that inferred from the GRBs X-ray afterglow and in agreement with the universal first-order relativistic shock acceleration models. This scenario implies that magnetic turbulence may play a twofold role: spatial diffusion relevant to the first order process and momentum diffusion relevant to the second order process.

CA Pierre Auger Collaboration TI Upper limit on the cosmic-ray photon fraction at EeV energies from the Pierre Auger Observatory SO ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID EXTENSIVE AIR-SHOWERS; FLUORESCENCE; PROFILES; DETECTOR AB From direct observations of the longitudinal development of ultra-high energy air showers performed with the Pierre Auger Observatory, upper limits of 3.8%, 2.4%, 3.5% and 11.7% (at 95% c.l.) are obtained on the fraction of cosmic-ray photons above 2, 3, 5 and 10 EeV (1 EeV equivalent to 10(18) eV), respectively. These are the first experimental limits on ultra-high energy photons at energies below 10 EeV. The results complement previous constraints on top-down models from array data and they reduce systematic uncertainties in the interpretation of shower data in terms of primary flux, nuclear composition and proton-air cross-section.

TI Cosmogenic production as a background in searching for rare physics processes SO ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE Cosmogenic activation; Dark matter detection; Double-beta decay ID DARK-MATTER; LIQUID ARGON; GERMANIUM; NEUTRONS; REDUCTION; ENERGY AB We revisit calculations of the cosmogenic production rates for several long-lived isotopes that are potential sources of background in searching for rare physics processes such as the detection of dark matter and neutrinoless double-beta decay. Using updated cosmic-ray neutron flux measurements, we use TALYS 1.0 to investigate the cosmogenic activation of stable isotopes of several detector targets and find that the cosmogenic isotopes produced inside the target materials and cryostat can result in large backgrounds for dark matter searches and neutrinoless double-beta decay. We use previously published low-background HPGe data to constrain the production of H-3 on the surface and the upper limit is consistent with our calculation. We note that cosmogenic production of several isotopes in various targets can generate potential backgrounds for dark matter detection and neutrinoless double-beta decay with a massive detector, thus great care should be taken to limit and/or deal with the cosmogenic activation of the targets.

TI NEUTRINOS FROM FALLBACK ONTO NEWLY FORMED NEUTRON STARS SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE elementary particles; stars: neutron; supernovae: general ID ROTATING MASSIVE STARS; LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD; CORE-COLLAPSE; PRESUPERNOVA EVOLUTION; STELLAR COLLAPSE; BLACK-HOLE; SN 1987A; SUPERNOVA; EXPLOSIONS; BURST AB In the standard supernova picture, Type Ib/c and Type II supernovae are powered by the potential energy released in the collapse of the core of a massive star. In studying supernovae, we primarily focus on the ejecta that makes it beyond the potential well of the collapsed core. But, as we shall show in this paper, inmost supernova explosions a tenth of a solar mass or more of the ejecta is decelerated enough that it does not escape the potential well of that compact object. This material falls back onto the proto-neutron star within the first 10-15 s after the launch of the explosion, releasing more than 10(52) erg of additional potential energy. Most of this energy is emitted in the form of neutrinos and we must understand this fallback neutrino emission if we are to use neutrino observations to study the behavior of matter at high densities. Here we present both a one-dimensional study of fallback using energy-injected, supernova explosions and a first study of neutrino emission from fallback using a suite of two-dimensional simulations.

Our measurement is achieved by demanding consistency between available weak-lensing and X-ray measurements of the maxBCG clusters, and the X-ray luminosity-mass relation inferred from the 400 days X-ray cluster survey, a flux-limited X-ray cluster survey. We find sigma(vertical bar nM vertical bar N200) = 0.45(-0.18)(+0.20) (95% CL) at N(200) approximate to 40, where N(200) is the number of red sequence galaxies in a cluster. As a byproduct of our analysis, we also obtain a constraint on the correlation coefficient between ln L(X) and ln M at fixed richness, which is best expressed as a lower limit, r(L, M|N) >= 0.85 (95% CL). This is the first observational constraint placed on a correlation coefficient involving two different cluster mass tracers. We use our results to produce a state-of-the-art estimate of the halo mass function at z = 0.23-the median redshift of the maxBCG cluster sample-and find that it is consistent with the WMAP5 cosmology. Both the mass function data and its covariance matrix are presented. C1 [Rozo, Eduardo] Ohio State Univ, CCAPP, Columbus, OH 43210 USA.

TI EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION AND COMPUTATIONAL MODELING OF THRESHOLD REACTION RATES IN 0.8 GeV PROTON-IRRADIATED LEAD TARGET SO ATOMIC ENERGY LA English DT Article AB The results of an experimental determination and computational modeling of the rates of threshold reactions on (209)Bi, Pb, (197)Au, (181)Ta, (169)Tm, In, (93)Nb, (65)Cu, (63)Cu, (64)Zn, (59)Co, (27)Al, (19)F, and C on the external surface of and inside a thick lead target irradiated by 0.8 GeV protons are presented. The reaction rates were measured by gamma spectrometry using Ge and (Ge-Li) detectors with resolution 1.8 and 2.9 keV, respectively, on the 1332 keV gamma-line. Measurements of 2467 independent and cumulative threshold reaction rates were performed with 244 samples. The LAHET program was used for computational modeling of the results. The MENDL and MENDL2p libraries, the EXFOR databases, and the LAHET program were used to construct the excitation functions of the nuclides formed. The experimentally measured reaction rates are compared with the computed rates. The neutron and proton fluxes along the target, both on its external surface and in the interior volume, were calculated using the experimental threshold reaction rates and the computed cross sections of the reactions averaged over the spectrum of the neutrons and protons. The reaction rates measured inside and on the surface of a natural-lead target were used to determine the accuracy with which the target's activity is measured. C1 [Titarenko, Yu. E.; Batyaev, V.

Algal biofuels would be based mainly on the high lipid content of the algal cell and thus would be an ideal feedstock for high energy density transportation fuels, such as biodiesel as well as green diesel, green jet fuel and green gasoline. A comprehensive research and development program for the development of algal biofuels was initiated by the US Department of Energy (DoE) more than 30 years ago, and although great progress was made, the program was discontinued in 1996, because of decreasing federal budgets and low petroleum costs. Interest in algal biofuels has been growing recently due to increased concern over peak oil, energy security, greenhouse gas emissions, and the potential for other biofuel feedstocks to compete for limited agricultural resources. The high productivity of algae suggests that much of the US transportation fuel needs can be met by algal biofuels at a production cost competitive with the cost of petroleum seen during the early part of 2008. Development of algal biomass production technology, however, remains in its infancy. This perspective provides a brief overview of past algal research sponsored by the DoE, the potential of microalgal biofuels and a discussion of the technical and economic barriers that need to be overcome before production of microalgal-derived diesel-fuel substitutes can become a large-scale commercial reality.

The rugosity of the substrate varied from 35 to 90 nm, depending on the annealing conditions. However, the characteristics of the protein adsorption (amounts and phase preference) were not affected by the changes in topography. The adsorption was also not changed by the phase inversion which occured when the PS-PLA substrate was annealed above T(g) of the PLA. The amount of protein adsorbed depended on whether adsorption took place from distilled water or phosphate buffered saline solution. These differences are interpreted as a result of ionic strength induced changes in the protein conformation in solution.

The impact of cellulase, beta-glucosidase and pectinase dosages were determined at a 15% biomass loading, and ethanol concentrations of 25-30 g/L were routinely obtained, while under these conditions corn stover, wheat straw, and switchgrass produced 3-4 times lower ethanol yields. Removal of carbohydrates also concentrated the hull protein to over 25% w/w from the original roughly 10%. Analysis of the soybean hulls before and after fermentation showed similar amino acid profiles including an increase in the essential amino acids lysine and threonine in the residues. Thus, eliminating pretreatment should assure that the protein in the hulls is preserved, and conversion of the carbohydrates to ethanol with high yields produces a more concentrated and valuable co-product in addition to ethanol. The resulting upgraded feed product from soybean hulls would likely to be acceptable to monogastric as well as bovine livestock. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Here we compared two pre-treatment methods (dilute acid, DA, and cellulose solvent and organic solvent lignocellulose fractionation, COSLIF) for corn stover. At a high cellulase loading [15 filter paper units (FPUs) or 12.3 mg cellulase per. gram of glucan], glucan digestibilities of the corn stover pretreated by DA and COSLIF were 84% at hour 72 and 97% at hour 24, respectively. At a low cellulase loading (5 FPUs per gram of glucan), digestibility remained as high as 93% at hour 24 for the COSLIF-pretreated corn stover but reached only similar to 60% for the DA-pretreated biomass. Quantitative determinations of total substrate accessibility to cellulase (TSAC), cellulose accessibility to cellulase (CAC), and non-cellulose accessibility to cellulase (NCAC) based on adsorption of a non-hydrolytic recombinant protein TGC were measured for the first time. The COSLIF-pretreated corn stover had a CAC of 11.57 m(2)/g, nearly twice that of the DA-pretreated biomass (5.89 m(2)/g). These results, along with scanning electron microscopy images showing dramatic structural differences :between the DA- and COSLIF-pretreated samples, suggest that COSLIF treatment disrupts microfibrillar structures within biomass while DA treatment mainly removes hemicellulose. Under the tested conditions COSLIF treatment breaks down lignocellulose structure more extensively than DA treatment, producing a more enzymatically reactive material with a higher CAC accompanied by faster hydrolysis bates and higher enzymatic digestibility.

Under compression with spherical indenters of different radii, these highly dense CNT brushes exhibit a higher modulus (similar to 17-20 GPa) and orders of magnitude higher resistance to buckling than vapor phase deposited CNT brushes or carbon walls. We also demonstrate the viscoelastic behavior, caused by the increased influence of the van der Waals' forces in these highly dense CNT brushes, showing their promise for energy-absorbing coatings.

The phase and amplitude are adjusted for each cavity with a phase scan method within the accuracy of 1 degrees in phase and 1% in amplitude. The experimental results show, a remarkable agreement with the numerical model within a sufficient margin in the tuning of the last two DTL tanks. However, a notable discrepancy between the experiment and the numerical model is seen in the tuning of the first DTL tank. After studying with a three-dimensional multi-particle simulation, the generation of the low energy component and the pronounced filamentation are identified as the main causes of the discrepancy. The optimization of the tuning scheme is also discussed to attain the tuning goal accuracy for the first DTL tank. C1 [Guo-Bao, Shen] Japan Atom Energy Agcy, Tokai, Ibaraki 3191195, Japan.

Snow samples were collected in the snow event on March 4, 2007 from 34 sites involving both the urban and suburban areas in Shenyang. The snowmelt was preconcentrated by solid phase extraction and analyzed using LC-MS method. Measurable amounts of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAS) were found in precipitation samples from Shenyang, demonstrating that wet deposition is one possible pathway for the removing of the selected PFAS chemicals from atmosphere. Major PFAS detected were PFOS (<0.38-51 ng/L), PFOA (0.82-13 ng/L) and PFHpA (0.76-11 ng/L), with their mean concentration of 5.4, 3.3 and 2.9 ng/L, respectively. Other PFSAs and PFCAs were detected at much lower frequency or below the limit of detection in all the samples. The work presented here offers some basis for the investigation on the environmental behavior and the evaluation of human exposure to PFAS.

Based on a Galerkin approximation, the fast Fourier transform and local interpolation operators, the proposed method is a generalization of the precorrected-FFT technique to deal with double-layer potential kernels, hypersingular kernels and higher-order basis functions. Numerical examples utilizing piecewise linear shape functions are included to illustrate the performance of the method.

This formalism is of critical importance for Hartree-Fock and Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations in deformed nuclei using realistic, finite-range effective interactions between nucleons. The results given here are also relevant for microscopic many-body calculations in atomic and molecular physics, as the formalism can be applied to other types of interactions beyond the Gaussian form. The derivation is presented in great detail to emphasize the methodology, which relies on generating functions. The resulting analytical expressions for the Gaussian matrix elements are checked for speed and accuracy as a function of the number of oscillator shells and against direct numerical integration.

The program calculates the force constants of a residue-scale elastic network model in single-domain proteins using the variance-covariance matrix obtained from atomistic molecular dynamics simulation. Secondary-structure dependence of the force constants is integrated. The method involves self-consistent, direct mapping of atomistic simulation results onto a coarse-grained force field in an efficient automated procedure without requiring iterative fits and avoiding system dependence.

For commodity hardware, tomorrow's performance gains will instead come from multi-core architectures in which a whole set of CPUs executes concurrently. Taking advantage of the full power of multi-core processors for network intrusion prevention requires an in-depth approach. In this work we frame an architecture customized for parallel execution of network attack analysis. At the lowest layer of the architecture is an 'Active Network Interface', a custom device based on an inexpensive FPGA platform. The analysis itself is structured as an event-based system, which allows us to find many opportunities for concurrent execution, since events introduce a natural asynchrony into the analysis while still maintaining good cache locality. A preliminary evaluation demonstrates the potential of this architecture. Copyright (c) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Movements of males are poorly understood, particularly the degree to which yearlings (first breeding season) and older males (second or later breeding season) wander altitudinally during the breeding season. Liver and muscle delta C-13 values of warblers exhibited significant year and altitude effects, but yearling and older males were isotopically indistinguishable. Liver delta C-13 values increased with altitude at the rate of similar to 0.5 parts per thousand per 1000 m. The altitudinal lapse rate of muscle delta C-13 (similar to 1.1 parts per thousand per 1000 m) was nearly identical to the average rate of increase reported in several groups of C-3 plants (similar to 1.1 parts per thousand per 1000 m). This suggests that the majority of males foraged within relatively narrow altitudinal zones during the breeding season. We caution, however, that the discrimination of altitudinal trends in carbon isotope ratios depends on relatively large multiyear samples. Given the scatter in data, it is unlikely that individuals can be accurately assigned to a particular altitude from carbon isotope values. Rapid adjustment of liver and muscle delta C-13 values to local altitudinal environments is consistent with the results of experimental dietary studies that show carbon turnover rates are relatively rapid in small migratory passerines. In a broader context, carbon isotope data have been increasingly used as proxies for wintering habitat use of Nearctic-Neotropical migratory passerines. However, tissues with high metabolic rates are unlikely to retain much isotopic signal of wintering habitat use by the time migrants reach their breeding territories.

To explore these patterns in a lotic environment, we transplanted Corbicula fluminea from a reference stream to a stream receiving CFPP discharge. We assessed trace element accumulation and glutathione concentration in clam tissue, shell growth, and condition index at five sites along a contamination gradient. Clams at the most upstream and contaminated site had the highest growth rate, condition index, glutathione concentrations, and concentrations of arsenic (7.85 +/- 0.25 mu g/g [dry mass]), selenium (17.75 +/- 0.80 mu g/g), and cadmium (7.28 +/- 0.34 mu g/g). Mercury concentrations declined from 4.33 +/- 0.83 to 0.81 +/- 0.11 mu g/g [dry mass] in clams transplanted into the selenium-rich environment nearest the power plant, but this effect was not as evident at less impacted, downstream sites. Even though dilution of trace elements within modest distances from the power plant reduced bioaccumulation potential in clams, long-term loading of trace elements to downstream depositional regions (e.g., slow moving, silty areas) is likely significant.

TI Ligand recognition by A-class Eph receptors: crystal structures of the EphA2 ligand-binding domain and the EphA2/ephrin-A1 complex SO EMBO REPORTS LA English DT Article DE Eph; ephrin; receptor tyrosine kinase; crystallography ID SPECIFICITY; ATTACHMENT; PEPTIDE AB Ephrin (Eph) receptor tyrosine kinases fall into two subclasses (A and B) according to preferences for their ephrin ligands. All published structural studies of Eph receptor/ephrin complexes involve B-class receptors. Here, we present the crystal structures of an A-class complex between EphA2 and ephrin-A1 and of unbound EphA2. Although these structures are similar overall to their B-class counterparts, they reveal important differences that define subclass specificity. The structures suggest that the A-class Eph receptor/ephrin interactions involve smaller rearrangements in the interacting partners, better described by a 'lock-and-key'-type binding mechanism, in contrast to the 'induced fit' mechanism defining the B-class molecules. This model is supported by structure-based mutagenesis and by differential requirements for ligand oligomerization by the two subclasses in cell-based Eph receptor activation assays. Finally, the structure of the unligated receptor reveals a homodimer assembly that might represent EphA2-specific homotypic cell adhesion interactions.

At industrial scales, gas and liquid products trapped within large biomass particles may reduce net fuel yields and increase tars, impacting industrial operations and increasing overall costs. Real-time microscopic analysis of poplar (Populus sp.) wood samples undergoing anoxic, pyrolytic heat treatment has revealed a pattern of tissue and macropore expansion and collapse. Post-reaction Structural analyses of biomass char (biochar) by light and transmission electron microscopy have provided direct structural evidence of pyrolysis product mass-transfer issues, including trapped pyrolysis products and cell wall compression, and have demonstrated the impact of heat-transfer problems on biomass particles. Finally, microscopic imaging has revealed that pyrolyzed/gasified biochars recovered from a fluidized bed reactor retain a similar pre-reaction basic plant tissue structure as the samples used in this study, suggesting that the phenomena observed here are representative of those that occur in larger scale reactors.

DDSim, a next-generation damage and durability simulator, addresses each of these limitations with a hierarchical, multiscale, "search and simulate" strategy. This hierarchical strategy consists of three levels. Level I, described in this paper, performs an initial, reduced order, conservative screening, based on a linear finite element analysis of the uncracked component, to determine the most life-limiting locations for intrinsic material flaws. Initial flaw size can be specified deterministically, or generated randomly from statistical descriptions of the microstructure and used in Monte Carlo simulation. The result is a scalar field of predicted life over the entire domain of the structure. The benefits of the Level I analysis include a high degree of automation, solution speed, and easy implementation of high performance parallel computing resources. A validation case study of Level I is described. Levels II and III are outlined herein, but will be described in further detail in subsequent papers. The Level II analysis uses FRANC3D to accurately predict the number of cycles consumed by microstructurally large crack growth processes. Level III performs multiscale analyses to accurately predict the cycles consumed in microstructurally small crack growth processes. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. C1 [Emery, J.

Typically, a traction-separation law is specified that relates the magnitude of the cohesive traction to the distance between the separating surfaces. Thus the characterization of fracture in such models is not directly coupled to the bulk constitutive response, in the sense that the cohesive traction does not explicitly depend on material stretching in the plane of the fracture surface. In this work, an initially-rigid cohesive-traction formulation that is coupled to the surrounding continuum is introduced as a further development of the cohesive zone idea. In this model, the traction-separation law - and therefore the fracture phenomenology derives directly from the bulk constitutive law. The immediate goal is an improved cohesive zone framework that naturally and logically initiates cohesive separation behavior, and couples its evolution to the material state in the region of the crack tip. A cohesive element based on this model is implemented in an explicit three-dimensional finite element code. Proof-of-concept analyses using both linear elastic and Gurson void growth constitutive relations are presented. A three-point bend simulation is found to give good agreement with experimental results. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI The solar photovoltaics wedge: pathways for growth and potential carbon mitigation in the US SO ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article DE photovoltaics; solar; carbon reduction; carbon wedge; PV LCA emissions ID ELECTRIC-POWER SYSTEMS; ENERGY-STORAGE; UNITED-STATES; EMISSIONS; REQUIREMENTS; TECHNOLOGIES; GENERATION; LIMITS; PV AB The challenge of stabilizing global carbon emissions over the next 50 years has been framed in the context of finding seven 1.0 Gton C/year carbon reduction wedges. Solar photovoltaics (PV) could provide at least one carbon wedge, but will require significant growth in PV manufacturing capacity. The actual amount of installed PV capacity required to reach wedge-level carbon reductions will vary greatly depending on the mix of avoided fuels and the additional emissions from manufacturing PV capacity. In this work, we find that the US could reduce its carbon emissions by 0.25 Gton C/year, equal to the fraction of a global carbon wedge proportional to its current domestic electricity use, by installing 792-811 GW of PV capacity. We evaluate a series of PV growth scenarios and find that wedge-level reductions could be met by increasing PV manufacturing capacity and annual installations by 0.95 GW/year/year each year from 2009 to 2050 or by increasing up to 4 GW/year/year for a period of 4-17 years for early and late growth scenarios. This challenge of increasing PV manufacturing capacity and market demand is significant but not out of line with the recent rapid growth in both the global and US PV industry. We find that the rapid growth in PV manufacturing capacity leads to a short term increase in carbon emissions from the US electric sector. However, this increase is small, contributing less than an additional 0.3% to electric sector emissions for less than 4.5 years, alleviating recent concern regarding carbon emissions from rapid PV growth scenarios.

SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Review ID SWITCHGRASS PANICUM-VIRGATUM; LIFE-CYCLE ASSESSMENT; SOIL ORGANIC-CARBON; LAND-USE CHANGE; CROP RESIDUES; ENERGY CROPS; CORN-STOVER; RENEWABLE ENERGY; UNITED-STATES; ETHANOL AB In this paper, we assess what is known or anticipated about environmental and sustainability factors associated with next-generation biofuels relative to the primary conventional biofuels (i.e., corn grain-based ethanol and soybean-based diesel) in the United State during feedstock production and conversion processes. Factor considered include greenhouse (GHG) emissions air pollutant emissions, soil health and quality, water use and water quality, wastewater and solid waste streams, and biodiversity add land-use changes. Based on our review of the available literature, we find that the. production of next-generation feedstocks in the U.S. (e.g., municipal solid waste, forest residues, dedicated energy crops, microalgae) are expected to fare better than corn-grain or soybean production on most of these factors, although the magnitude of these differences may vary significantly among feedstocks. Ethanol produced using a biochemical or thermochemical conversion platform is expected to result in fewer GHG and air pollutant emissions, but to have similar or potentially greater water demands and solid waste streams than conventional ethanol biorefineries in the U.S. However, these conversion-related differences are likely to be small, particularly relative to those associated with feedstock production. Modeling performed for illustrative purposes and to allow for standardized quantitative comparisons across feedstocks and conversion technologies generally confirms the findings from the literature.. Despite current expectations, significant uncertainty remains regarding how well next-generation biofuels will fare on different environmental and sustainability factors when produced on a commercial scale in the U.S. Additional research is needed in several broad areas including quantifying impacts, designing standardized metrics and approaches, and developing decision-support to identify and quantify environmental trade-offs and ensure sustainable biofuels production.

Invertebrates are part of complex terrestrial food webs. This paper provides arsenic concentrations and arsenic speciation profiles for eight orders of terrestrial invertebrates collected at three historical gold mine sites and one background site in Nova Scotia, Canada. Total arsenic concentrations, determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS); were dependent upon the classification of invertebrate. Arsenic species were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) ICP-MS and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). Invertebrates were found by HPLC ICP-MS to contain predominantly arsenite and arsenate in methanol/water extracts, while XAS revealed that most arsenic is bound to sulfur in vivo. Examination of the spatial distribution of arsenic within an ant tissue highlighted the differences between exogenous and endogenous arsenic, as well as the extent to which arsenic is transformed upon ingestion. Similar arsenic speciation patterns for invertebrate groups were observed across sites, Trace amounts of arsenobetaine and arsenocholine were identified in slugs, ants, and spiders.

Here, we examine the sorption mechanism and propensity for release of uranium reacted with Fe (hydr)oxides under cyclic oxidizing and reducing conditions. Upon reaction of terrihydrite with Fe(II) under conditions where aqueous Ca-UO(2)-CO(3) species predominate (3 mM Ca and 3.8 mM total CO(3)), dissolved uranium concentrations decrease from 0.16 mM to below detection limit (BDL) after 5-15 d, depending on the Fe(II) concentration. In systems undergoing 3 successive redox cycles (14 d of reduction, followed by 5 d of oxidation) and a pulsed decrease to 0.15 mM total CO(3), dissolved uranium concentrations varied depending on the Fe(II) concentration during the initial and subsequent reduction phases. U concentrations resulting during the oxic "rebound" varied inversely with the Fe(II) concentration during the reduction cycle. Uranium removed from solution remains in the oxidized form and is found adsorbed onto and incorporated into the structure of newly formed goethite and magnetite. Our results reveal that the fate of uranium is dependent on anaerobic/aerobic conditions, aqueous uranium speciation, and the fate of iron.

The sediment was collected from the U.S. Department of Energy Hanford site, and contained uranyl precipitates within the mm-sized granitic lithic fragments in the sediment. Bioreduction was investigated in a culture of a dissimilatory metal-reducing bacterium, Shewanella oneidensis strain MR-1. Measurements of uranium, concentration, speciation, and valence in aqueous and solid phases indicated that microbial reduction of intragrain U(VI) proceeded by two mechanisms: (1) sequentially coupled dissolution of intragrain uranyl precipitates, diffusion of dissolved U(VI) from intragrain regions, and microbial reduction of dissolved U(VI); and (2) U(VI) reduction in the intragrain regions by soluble, diffusible biogenic reductants. The bioreduction rate in the first pathway was over 3 orders of magnitude slower than that in comparable aqueous solutions containing aqueous U(VI) only. The slower bioreduction rate was attributed to (1) the, release of calcium from the desorption/dissolution of calcium-containing minerals in the sediment, which subsequently altered U(VI) aqueous speciation and slowed U(VI) bioreduction and (2) alternative electron transfer pathways that reduced U(VI) in the intragrain regions and changed its dissolution and solubility behavior. The results implied that the overall rate of bioreduction of intragrain U(VI) will be influenced by the reactive mass transfer of U(VI) and biogenic reductants within intragrain regions, and geochemical reactions controlling major ion concentrations.

This exercise provides an indication of whether these ecosystems are a net source or sink for atmospheric Hg as well as a basis for recommendation of data to collect in future field sampling campaigns. Results indicated that soil alone was a small net source of atmospheric Hg and that emitted Hg could be accounted for based on Hg input by wet deposition. When foliar assimilation and wet deposition are added to the area estimate of soil Hg flux these biomes are a sink for atmospheric Hg.

TI Doping fluctuation-driven magneto-electronic phase separation in La1-xSrxCoO3 single crystals SO EPL LA English DT Article ID MANGANITES; LA1-XCAXMNO3; TRANSITION AB In recent years it has become clear that complex oxides provide an exceptional platform for the discovery of new physics as well as a considerable challenge to our understanding of correlated electrons. The tendency of these materials to display nanoscale electronic and magnetic inhomogeneity is a good example. Here, we have applied a variety of experimental techniques to investigate this magneto-electronic phase separation in a model system-the doped cobaltite La1-xSrxCoO3. Comparing experimental data over a wide range of doping with statistical simulations, we conclude that the magneto-electronic inhomogeneity is driven solely by inevitable local compositional fluctuations at nanoscopic length scales. The phase separation is thus doping fluctuation-driven rather than electronically driven, meaning that more complex electronic phase separation models are not required to understand the observed phenomena in this material.

Fe K-edge extended X-ray absorption. ne structure (EXAFS) measurements in the fluorescence mode has permitted to compare systematically the inter-atomic distances and their mean square relative displacements (MSRD). We find that the Fe-As bond length and the corresponding MSRD hardly show any change, suggesting the strongly covalent nature of this bond, while the Fe-Fe and Fe-Re bond lengths decrease with decreasing rare-earth size. The results provide important information on the atomic correlations that could have direct implication on the superconductivity and magnetism of ReOFeAs system, with the chemical pressure being a key ingredient.

In this region resonance contributions are expected to be negligible so that the available experimental information on differential cross-sections and single and double polarization observables at -t <= 2GeV(2) allows us to determine the reaction amplitude reliably. The model amplitude is then used to predict observables for photon energies below 3 GeV. A detailed comparison with recent data from the CLAS and CB-ELSA Collaborations in that energy region is presented. Furthermore, the prospects for determining the pi(0) radiative decay width via the Primakoff effect from the reaction gamma p -> pi(0)p are explored.

These unique probes of matter are essential to adequately understand in-medium energy loss and to test the basic properties of QCD. The current PHENIX heavy flavor physics program will be significantly enhanced by the addition of the Forward Silicon Vertex upgrade detector (FVTX) in the acceptance of the existing muon arm detectors (1.2 < |y| < 2.4). The proposed tracker is planned to be put into operation in FY2011. Each arm of the FVTX detector consists of 4 disks of silicon strip sensors combined with FPHX readout chips and provides a precision measurement of the radial coordinate of the track. The current status of the detector design and construction and expectations for the physics signal extraction will be presented.

I show that the dominant source of the temperature dependence comes from the zero-mode contribution, while the temperature dependence associated with the melting of bound states is quite small. I study the zero-mode contribution quantitatively for various quark masses and show that it is well described by a quasi-particle model with temperature-dependent heavy quark mass. As a byproduct, an estimate of the medium dependence of the heavy-quark mass is obtained. C1 [Petreczky, Peter] Brookhaven Natl Lab, Dept Phys, Upton, NY 11973 USA.

Measurements of strong suppression of inclusive hadron distributions and dihadron correlations at high p(T) have already provided evidence for partonic energy loss. However, these measurements suffer from well-known geometric biases due to the competition of energy loss and fragmentation. These biases can be avoided if the jets are reconstructed independently of their fragmentation details-quenched or unquenched. In this paper, we discuss modern jet reconstruction algorithms (cone and sequential recombination) and their corresponding background subtraction techniques required by the high multiplicities of heavy ion collisions. We review recent results from the STAR experiment at RHIC on direct jet reconstruction in central Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV.

We demonstrate that at the highest collider energies these observables become feasible as a new, differential and accurate test of the underlying QCD theory. Our approach allows for detailed simulations of the experimental acceptance/cuts that help isolate jets emerging from a dense QGP. We show for the first time that the pattern of stimulated gluon emission can be correlated with a variable quenching of the jet rates and provide an approximately model-independent approach to determining the characteristics of the medium-induced bremsstrahlung spectrum. The connection between such cross section attenuation and the in-medium jet shapes is elucidated. C1 [Vitev, Ivan; Zhang, Ben-Wei] Los Alamos Natl Lab, Div Theoret, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

Detailed mass and transverse momentum dependence of elliptic flow are well described by ideal hydrodynamic calculations for p(T) < 1 GeV/c, and by parton coalescence/recombination picture for p(T) = 2-6 GeV/c. The systematic error on nu(2) is dominated by so-called "non-flow effects", which are correlations other than flow, such as resonance decays and jets. It is crucial to understand and reduce the systematic error from non-flow effects in order to understand the underlying collision dynamics. In this paper, we present the centrality dependence of nu(2) with respect to the first harmonic event plane at ZDC-SMD )(nu(2){ZDC-SMD}) in Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV. A large rapidity gap (vertical bar Delta eta vertical bar > 6) between midrapidity and the ZDC-SMD could enable us to minimize possible non-flow contributions. We compare the results of nu(2){ZDC-SMD} with nu(2){BBC}, which is measured by event plane determined at vertical bar eta vertical bar = 3.1-3.9. Possible non-flow contributions in those results will be discussed. C1 [Masui, Hiroshi; PHENIX Collaboration] Univ Calif Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley Lab, Div Nucl Sci, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA.

As the rapid growth of the gluon distribution towards low x, as derived from current theoretical estimates, would violate unitarity, there must be a mechanism that tames this explosive growth. This is most efficiently studied in colliders running in e + A mode, as the nucleus is an efficient amplifier of saturation effects occurring with high gluon densities. In fact, large A can lead to these effects manifesting themselves at energies a few orders of magnitude lower than in e + p collisions. In order to study these effects, there are proposals to build an e + A machine in the USA, operating over a large range of masses and energies. These studies will allow for an in-depth comparison to A + A collisions where results have given tantalising hints of a new state of matter with partonic degrees of freedom. In order to explain these results quantitatively, the gluons and their interactions must be understood fully as they are the dominant source of hard probes at both RHIC and LHC energies.

A consistent physical picture was constructed based on the correlation landscape in p(T), Delta phi, Delta eta and particle species. We show that the data are consistent with competition between fragmentation of survived jets and response of the medium to quenched jets. At intermediate p(T) where the medium response are important, a large fraction of trigger hadrons do not come from jet fragmentation. We argue that these hadrons can strongly influence the interpretation of the low p(T) correlation data. We demonstrate this point through a simple geometrical jet absorption model simulation. The model shows that the correlation between medium response hadrons dominates the pair yield and mimics the double hump structure of the away-side Delta phi distribution at low p(T). This correlation was also shown to lead to complications in interpreting the results on reaction plane dependence and three particle correlations. Finally, we briefly discuss several related experimental issues which are important for proper interpretations of the experimental data.

CA CDF Collaboration TI Search for narrow resonances lighter than (sic) mesons SO EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL C LA English DT Article ID LUMINOSITY MONITOR; E&E ANNIHILATION; DETECTOR; COLLISIONS; SYSTEM; QUARKS; STATES AB We report a search for narrow resonances, produced in p (p) over bar collisions at root s = 1.96 TeV, that decay into muon pairs with invariant mass between 6.3 and 9.0 GeV/c(2). The data, collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 630 pb(-1). We use the dimuon invariant mass distribution to set 90% upper credible limits of about 1% to the ratio of the production cross section times muonic branching fraction of possible narrow resonances to that of the (sic)(1S) meson.

In addition to soft-gluon resummation at (NLL)-L-3, we also resum enhanced contributions of the form (C (A) pi alpha (s) ) (n) , which arise in the analytic continuation of the gluon form factor to time-like momentum transfer. This resummation is achieved by evaluating the matching corrections arising at the Higgs-boson mass scale at a time-like renormalization point mu (2)< 0, followed by renormalization-group evolution to mu (2)> 0. We match our resummed result to NNLO fixed-order perturbation theory and give numerical predictions for the total production cross section as a function of the Higgs-boson mass. Resummation effects are significant even at NNLO, where our improved predictions for the cross sections at the Tevatron and the LHC exceed the fixed-order predictions by about 13% and 8%, respectively, for m (H) =120 GeV. We also discuss the application of our technique to other time-like processes such as Drell-Yan production, e (+) e (-)-> hadrons, and hadronic decays of the Higgs boson.

TI Ventricular dilation and elevated aqueductal pulsations in a new experimental model of communicating hydrocephalus SO EXPERIMENTAL NEUROLOGY LA English DT Article ID NORMAL-PRESSURE HYDROCEPHALUS; CEREBROSPINAL-FLUID; SHUNT TREATMENT; CSF PRESSURE; PHASE; FLOW; RATS; MR; CIRCULATION; ABSORPTION AB In communicating hydrocephalus (CH), explanations for the symptoms and clear-cut effective treatments remain elusive. Pulsatile flow through the cerebral aqueduct is often significantly elevated, but a clear link between abnormal pulsations and ventriculomegaly has yet to be identified. We Sought to demonstrate measurement of pulsatile aqueductal flow of CSF in the rat, and to characterize the temporal changes in CSF pulsations in a new model of CH. Hydrocephalus was induced by injection of kaolin into the basal cisterns of adult rats (n = 18). Ventricular Volume and aqueductal Pulsations were measured on a 9.4 T MRI over a one month period. Half of the animals developed ventricular dilation, with increased ventricular volume and pulsations as early as one day post-induction, and marked chronic elevations compared to intact controls (volume: 130.15 +/- 83.21 mu l vs. 15.52 +/- 100 mu l; pulsations: 114.51 nl +/- 106.29 vs. 0.72 +/- 0.13 nl). Similar to the clinical presentation, the relationship between ventricular size and pulsations was quite variable. However, the pulsation time-course revealed two distinct sub-types of hydrocephalic animals: those with markedly elevated pulsations which persisted over time, and those with mildly elevated Pulsations which returned to near normal levels after one week. These groups were associated with severe and mild ventriculomegaly respectively. Thus, aqueductal flow can be measured in the rat using high-held MRI and basal cistern-induced CH is associated with an immediate change in CSF pulsatility. At the same time, our results highlight the complex nature of aqueductal pulsation and its relationship to ventricular dilation. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. C1 [Wagshul, M.

TI On hot-wire diagnostics in Rayleigh-Taylor mixing layers SO EXPERIMENTS IN FLUIDS LA English DT Article ID SMALL-ATWOOD-NUMBER; TURBULENCE; INSTABILITY; ANEMOMETRY; HELIUM; TEMPERATURE; MIXTURES; PROBE; AIR AB Two hot-wire flow diagnostics have been developed to measure a variety of turbulence statistics in the buoyancy driven, air-helium Rayleigh-Taylor mixing layer. The first diagnostic uses a multi-position, multi-overheat (MPMO) single wire technique that is based on evaluating the wire response function to variations in density, velocity and orientation, and gives time-averaged statistics inside the mixing layer. The second diagnostic utilizes the concept of temperature as a fluid marker, and employs a simultaneous three-wire/cold-wire anemometry technique (S3WCA) to measure instantaneous statistics. Both of these diagnostics have been validated in a low Atwood number (A (t) a parts per thousand currency sign 0.04), small density difference regime, that allowed validation of the diagnostics with similar experiments done in a hot-water/cold-water water channel facility. Good agreement is found for the measured growth parameters for the mixing layer, velocity fluctuation anisotropy, velocity fluctuation p.d.f behavior, and measurements of molecular mixing. We describe in detail the MPMO and S3WCA diagnostics, and the validation measurements in the low Atwood number regime (A (t) a parts per thousand currency sign 0.04). We also outline the advantages of each technique for measurement of turbulence statistics in fluid mixtures with large density differences.

TI Quantitative X-ray measurements of high-pressure fuel sprays from a production heavy duty diesel injector SO EXPERIMENTS IN FLUIDS LA English DT Article ID NEAR-NOZZLE REGION AB A quantitative and time-resolved X-ray radiography technique has been used for detailed measurements of high-pressure fuel sprays in the near-nozzle region of a diesel engine injector. The technique provides high spatial and temporal resolution, especially in the relatively dense core region. A single spray plume from a hydraulically actuated electronically controlled unit injector model 315B injector with a 6-hole nozzle was isolated and studied at engine-like densities for two different injection pressures. Optical spray imaging was also employed to evaluate the effectiveness of the shield used to isolate a single spray plume. The steady state fuel distributions for both injection pressures are similar and show a dense spray region along the axis of the spray, with the on-axis spray density decreasing as the spray progresses downstream. The higher injection pressure case exhibits a larger cone angle and spray broadening at the exit of the nozzle. For some time periods, the near-nozzle penetration speed is lower for the high injection pressure case than the low injection pressure case, which is unexpected, but can be attributed to the needle and flow dynamics inside the injector causing slower pressure build-up for the former case. Rate of injection testing was performed to further understand near-nozzle behavior. Mass distribution data were obtained and used to find mass-averaged velocity of the spray. Comparisons of the radiography data with that from a common rail single-hole light duty injectors under similar injection conditions show several significant differences. The current data show a larger cone angle and lower penetration speed than that from the light-duty injector. Moreover, these data display a Gaussian mass distribution across the spray near the injector, whereas in previous light-duty injector measurements, the mass distribution had steeper sides and a flatter peak. Measurements are also used to examine the spray models in the STAR-CD software. C1 [Ramirez, A. I.; Som, S.; Aggarwal, Suresh K.] Univ Illinois, Dept Mech & Ind Engn, Chicago, IL 60607 USA.

This paper provides a thermal and structural response analysis for the first round of qualification tests performed at Sandia National Laboratories. The results display the stresses and strains created in the FWQM as a result of the thermal expansion that occurred when subjected to cyclic heat flux under simulated ITER normal and MARFE conditions. From this structural response, further insight may be gained into the likelihood of fatigue failure of the Beryllium/CuCrZr interface once the first wall is in operation in ITER. While fully determining the reliability of this joint is beyond the scope of this study, some suggestions are made as to how this topic might be addressed with further research.

It is shown that these disparities from the ideal test parameters do not significantly affect the qualification of the FWQM. C1 [Hunt, R.

TI DEVELOPMENT OF A TWIN-SCREW D-2 EXTRUDER FOR THE ITER PELLET INJECTION SYSTEM SO FUSION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 18th American-Nuclear-Society Topical Meeting on the Technology of Fusion Energy CY SEP 28-OCT 02, 2008 CL San Francisco, CA SP Amer Nucl Soc, No California Sect, Amer Nucl Soc, Fusion Energy Div, Atom Energy Soc Japan, Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab AB A twin-screw extruder for the ITER pellet injection system is under development at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The extruder will provide a stream of solid hydrogen isotopes to a secondary section, where pellets are cut and accelerated with single-stage gas gun into the plasma. A one-fifth ITER scale prototype extruder has been built to produce a continuous solid deuterium extrusion. Deuterium gas is precooled and liquefied before being introduced into the extruder. The precooler consists of a copper vessel containing liquid nitrogen surrounded by a deuterium gas filled copper coil. The liquefier is comprised of a copper cylinder connected to a Cryomech AL330 cryocooler, which is surrounded by a copper coil that the precooled deuterium flows through. The lower extruder barrel is connected to a Cryomech GB-37 cryocooler to solidify the deuterium (at approximate to 15 K) before it is forced through the extruder nozzle. A viewport located below the extruder nozzle provides a direct view of the extrusion. A camera is used to document the extrusion quality and duration. A data acquisition system records the extruder temperatures, torque, and speed, upstream, and downstream pressures. This paper will describe the prototype twin-screw extruder and initial extrusion results. C1 [Meitner, S. J.; Baylor, L. R.; Carbajo, J. J.; Combs, S. K.; Fehling, D. T.; Foust, C. R.; McFee, M.

TI PRELIMINARY THERMAL AND HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS ON THE ITER UPPER DIAGNOSTIC PORT PLUG DURING NORMAL OPERATION AND BAKING SO FUSION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 18th American-Nuclear-Society Topical Meeting on the Technology of Fusion Energy CY SEP 28-OCT 02, 2008 CL San Francisco, CA SP Amer Nucl Soc, NO California Sect, Amer Nucl Soc, Fusion Energy Div, Atom Energy Soc Japan, Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab ID DESIGN AB A preliminary thermo-hydraulic analysis was performed on the ITER diagnostic upper port plug. Relevant thermal and hydraulic parameters, such as coolant pressure drop, maximum structure temperature and bake-out time, were calculated for normal operation and baking. The tipper port plug considered is based on the preliminary generic structure design of Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and the Blanket Shield Module (BSM) developed in Europe. The diagnostic shield modules are modeled so that the Korean diagnostic procurement package, which includes Vacuum Ultra-Violet (VUV) spectrometer and neutron activation system, can be integrated. The analysis provides design inputs to optimize flow in the cooling channels of the plug. The conjugated heat transfer analysis for the port plug confirms that it is important to secure accurate nuclear heat and accurate electro-magnetic (EM) force for the design of the joining flange between the BSM and the main body. Thermal analysis shows that it will take ten hours for the port plug to reach the bake-out temperature (240 degrees C), if the window plate is heated additionally from the rear side.

TI TRITIUM ROOM AIR MONITOR OPERATING EXPERIENCE REVIEW SO FUSION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 18th American-Nuclear-Society Topical Meeting on the Technology of Fusion Energy CY SEP 28-OCT 02, 2008 CL San Francisco, CA SP Amer Nucl Soc, NO California Sect, Amer Nucl Soc, Fusion Energy Div, Atom Energy Soc Japan, Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab ID ENERGY-RESEARCH-INSTITUTE; SAFETY SYSTEMS; BEHAVIOR; CAISSON AB Monitoring the breathing air in tritium facility rooms for airborne tritium is a radiological safety requirement and a best practice for personnel safety. Besides audible alarms for room evacuation, these monitors often send signals for process shutdown, ventilation isolation, and cleanup system actuation to mitigate releases and prevent tritium spread to the environment. Therefore, these monitors are important not only to personnel safety but also to public safety and environmental protection. This paper presents an operating experience review of tritium monitor performance on demand during small (1 mCi to 1 Ci) operational releases, and intentional airborne in-room tritium release tests. The tritium tests provide monitor operation data to allow calculation of a statistical estimate for the reliability of monitors annunciating in actual tritium gas airborne release situations. The data show a failure to operate rate of 3.5E-06/monitor-hr with an upper bound of 4.7E-06, a failure to alarm on demand rate of 1.4E-02/demand with an upper bound of 4.4E-02, and a spurious alarm rate of 0.1 to 0.2/monitor-yr.

CAMs alert personnel of potential inhalation exposures to radionuclides and can also actuate room ventilation isolation for public and environmental protection. This paper presents the results of a CAM operating experience review of the DOE Occurrence Reporting and Processing System (ORPS) database from the past 18 years. Regulations regarding these monitors are briefly reviewed CAM location selection and operation are briefly discussed. Operating experiences reported by the U.S. Department of Energy and in other literature sources were reviewed to determine the strengths and weaknesses of these monitors. Power losses, human errors, and mechanical issues cause the majority of failures. The average "all modes" failure rate is 2.65E-05/hr. Repair time estimates vary from an average repair time of 9 hours (with spare parts on hand) to 252 hours (without spare parts on hand). These data should support the use of CAMs in any nuclear facility, including the National Ignition Facility and the international ITER experiment. C1 [Cadwallader, L. C.; Bruyere, S.

One key issue is the survival of the chamber wall under the ion threat spectra (representing similar to 25% of the yield energy). The possibility of steering the ions away from the chamber to specially-designed dump chambers using magnetic intervention is being investigated. This brings up the intriguing possibility of utilizing a liquid wall to accommodate the ion fluxes in the dump chamber provided the right measures are taken to prevent the liquid from contaminating the main chamber.

The ion induction accelerator will consist of a new short pulse injector and induction cells from the decommissioned Advanced Test Accelerator (ATA) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). To fit within an existing building and to meet the energy and temporal requirements of various target experiments, an aggressive beam compression and acceleration schedule is planned. WDM physics and ion-driven direct drive hydrodynamics will initially be explored with 30 nC of lithium ions in experiments involving ion deposition, ablation, acceleration and stability of planar targets. Other ion sources which may deliver higher charge per bunch will be explored. A test stand has been built at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) to test refurbished ATA induction cells and pulsed power hardware for voltage holding and ability to produce various compression and acceleration waveforms. Another test stand is being used to develop and characterize lithium-doped aluminosilicate ion sources. The first experiments will include heating metallic targets to 10,000 K and hydrodynamics studies with cryogenic hydrogen targets. C1 [Waldron, W. L.; Bieniosek, F. M.; Henestroza, E.; Leitner, M.

Containing and collecting the resulting dust, debris, and shrapnel so that it may be repetitively reprocessed and recycled is an especially important step, among many others, to successfully operating a power plant. In this paper the current and the dynamic pressure pulse along the RTL are simulated with the Micro-Cap network circuit code. These results are used as inputs to the CTH shock physics code that characterizes the debris formation and containment wall impacts.

A comprehensive review has been undertaken to determine the optimal breeding material, examining several candidate compounds. These include ceramic breeding pebbles as well as liquid 83Pb-17Li (Pb-Li) and (LiF)(2)BeF(2) (FLiBe). In this study, the compounds are evaluated based on chemical and physical properties, structural requirements, feasibility, hazards, and costs of application. Preliminary results seem to indicate that, of the liquid breeding materials, FLiBe may be the more practical option, due to its mechanical feasibility and the relative projected efficiency of blanket design. Likewise, lithium metatitanate (Li(2)TiO(3)) appears to be a viable ceramic material. However, much remains to be investigated, particularly the properties of breeder and structural materials in the specific conditions of a reactor. Furtherwork in this area will require theoretical modeling as well as practical trials, currently planned in other progenitor reactor designs. This paper will present the results of the analysis of these candidate breeder materials. C1 [Aristova, M.; Gentile, C. A.] Princeton Plasma Phys Lab, Princeton, NJ 08543 USA.

TI SOLENOID-LESS PLASMA START-UP IN NSTX USING TRANSIENT CHI SO FUSION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 18th American-Nuclear-Society Topical Meeting on the Technology of Fusion Energy CY SEP 28-OCT 02, 2008 CL San Francisco, CA SP Amer Nucl Soc, No California Sect, Amer Nucl Soc, Fusion Energy Div, Atom Energy Soc Japan, Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab ID COAXIAL HELICITY INJECTION; SPHERICAL TORUS EXPERIMENT; TOKAMAK AB Experiments in NSTX have now unambiguously demonstrated the coupling of toroidal plasmas produced by the method of transient Coaxial Helicity Injection (CHI) to inductive sustainment and ramp-up of the toroidal current. The coupled discharges have ramped up to 700 kA and transitioned into H-mode with low inductance typical of the type of discharges needed for long-pulse operation, demonstrating the compatibility of the CHI startup method to conventional inductive operation used since the start of tokamak research. The method was first demonstrated on the smaller concept exploration device HIT-H at the University of Washington. These new results that were obtained on a machine built with mainly conventional components and on a size scale closer to a Component Test Facility, demonstrate that CHI is a viable solenoid-free plasma startup method for future STs and Tokamaks.

TI Special Nuclear Materials Detection Using IEC Fusion Pulsed Neutron Source SO FUSION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 18th American-Nuclear-Society Topical Meeting on the Technology of Fusion Energy CY SEP 28-OCT 02, 2008 CL San Francisco, CA SP Amer Nucl Soc, NO California Sect, Amer Nucl Soc, Fusion Energy Div, Atom Energy Soc Japan, Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab AB Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) detection efforts have largely been divided into two main groups: active and passive. Passive techniques are highly desirable in that a radiation source need not be employed in order to detect fissile materials which broadcast a clear radiative signature. However, disadvantages can be seen in HEU (Highly Enriched Uranium) detection, for example, where the system's efficacy is limited by its ability to detect a weak self-radiative signature from U. Active interrogation provides a catalyst for amplifying HEU's presence vis-a-vis fission event inducement, which in turn yields a starker signature which can be discerned through an understanding of fissile materials and neutron transport in various media. Ongoing work in the Fusion Technology Institute's Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) Experiment has focused on using the pulsed D-D neutrons from an IEC to interrogate the presence of HEU in an enclosed space. The paper begins with a brief description of the neutron-based detection schemes of Delayed Neutron Analysis (DNA) and Differential Die-Away (DDA). Experimental delayed neutron counts of ninety above the background at an interrogating neutron flux of 5.5x10(4) n/cm(2)-s are seen to confirm MCNP modeling results. MCNP is also utilized to probe future concepts in neutron-based active interrogating SNM detection systems using DDA analysis. C1 [Sorebo, J. H.] Plexus Corp, Neenah, WI USA. [Kulcinski, G.

Although it has been established that activators can interact with multiple components of TFIID, it is unknown whether common or distinct surfaces within TFIID are targeted by activators and what changes if any in the structure of TFIID may occur upon binding activators. As a first step toward structurally dissecting activator/TFIID interactions, we determined the three-dimensional structures of TFIID bound to three distinct activators (i.e., the tumor suppressor p53 protein, glutamine-rich Sp1 and the oncoprotein c-Jun) and compared their structures as determined by electron microscopy and single-particle reconstruction. By a combination of EM and biochemical mapping analysis, our results uncover distinct contact regions within TFIID bound by each activator. Unlike the coactivator CRSP/Mediator complex that undergoes drastic and global structural changes upon activator binding, instead, a rather confined set of local conserved structural changes were observed when each activator binds holo-TFIID. These results suggest that activator contact may induce unique structural features of TFIID, thus providing nanoscale information on activator-dependent TFIID assembly and transcription initiation.

TI Large-Scale Functional Annotation and Expanded Implementations of the P{wHy} Hybrid Transposon in the Drosophila melanogaster Genome SO GENETICS LA English DT Article ID SINGLE P-ELEMENTS; INSERTIONAL MUTAGENESIS; GENE-EXPRESSION; HETEROCHROMATIN; SEQUENCE; COLLECTION; PROJECT; PROTEIN; REGION AB Whole genome sequencing of the model organisms has created increased demand for efficient tools to facilitate the genome annotation efforts. Accordingly we report the further implementations and analyses stemming from our publicly available P{wHy} library for Drosphila melanogaster. A two-step regime-large scale transposon mutagenesis followed by hobo-induced nested deletions-allows mutation saturation and provides significant enhancements to existing genomic coverage. We previously showed that, for a given starting insert, deletion saturation is readily obtained over a 60-kb interval; here, we perform a breakdown analysis of efficiency to identify rate-limiting steps ill file process. Transrecombination, the hobo-induced recombination between two P{wHy} half molecules, was shown to further expand the P{wHy) mutational range, pointing to a potent, Iterative process of transrecombination-reconstitution-transrecombination for alternating between very large and very fine-grained deletions in a self-contained manner. A number of strains also showed partial or complete repression of P{wHy} markers, depending on chromosome location, whereby asymmetric marker silencing allowed continuous phenotypic detection, indication that (P{wHy}-based saturational mutagenesis should be useful for the study of heterochromatin/positional effects.

In many ways, insurers are still catching up both to mainstream science and to their customers, which, in response to climate change and energy volatility, are increasingly changing the way they construct buildings, transport people and goods, design products and produce energy. Customers, as well as regulators and shareholders, are eager to see insurers provide more products and services that respond to the "greening'' of the global economy, expand their efforts to improve disaster resilience and otherwise be proactive about the climate change threat. Insurers are increasingly recognising the issue as one of "enterprise risk management'' (ERM), one cutting across the domains of underwriting, asset management and corporate governance. Their responses are becoming correspondingly sophisticated. Based on a review of more than 300 source documents, plus a direct survey of insurance companies, we have identified 643 specific activities from 244 insurance entities from 29 countries, representing a 50 per cent year-over-year increase in activity. These entities collectively represent $1.2 trillion in annual premiums and $13 trillion in assets, while employing 2.2 million people. In addition to activities on the part of 189 insurers, eight reinsurers, 20 intermediaries and 27 insurance organisations, we identified 34 non-insurance entities that have collaborated in these efforts. Challenges and opportunities include bringing promising products and services to scale, continuing to identify and fill market and coverage gaps and identifying and confirming the veracity of green improvements. There is also need for convergence between sustainability and disaster resilience, greater engagement by insurers in adaptation to unavoidable climate changes and to clarify the role that regulators will play in moving the market. It has not yet been demonstrated how some insurance lines might respond to climate change and a number of market segments have not yet been served with a single green insurance product or service. As insurer activities obtain more prominence, they also will be subject to more scrutiny and expectations that they are not simply greenwashing.

TI Experimental study of the effect of pH and temperature on the kinetics of montmorillonite dissolution SO GEOCHIMICA ET COSMOCHIMICA ACTA LA English DT Article ID KAOLINITE DISSOLUTION; PRECIPITATION KINETICS; CHLORITE DISSOLUTION; ACIDIC CONDITIONS; 80-DEGREES-C; WATER; 25-DEGREES-C; DEPENDENCE; RATES; STATE AB The effect of pH on the kinetics of smectite (K-montmorillonite) dissolution was investigated at 50 and 70 degrees C in stirred flow-through reactors over the pH range of 1-13.5. Experiments done at very acidic and very basic pH were far from equilibrium. Near neutral pH experiments were closer to equilibrium. The Al/Si release ratio, while initially being incongruent, ultimately approached the stoichiometric value in most of the experiments. Temperature, extreme pH, and time favor congruency. Rates can be described by: R (mol g(-1) s(-1)) = 10(-9.00)a(H+)(0.58) + 10(-9.7)a(OH-)(0.38) + 10(-12.15) at 50 degrees C R (mol g(-1) s(-1)) = 10(-8.25)a(H+)(0.75) + 10(-8.70)a(OH-)(0.42) + 10(-11.95) at 70 degrees C. Dissolution rates decrease with increasing pH under acid conditions, minimize at near neutral pH and increase with increasing pH under basic conditions. Apparent activation energies are pH-dependent and have a maximum of 19.3 kcal mol-1 at pH 1, a minimum of 5.3 kcal mol(-1) between pH 4-7 and another maximum of 20.3 kcal mol(-1) at pH 11. Protons, water, and hydroxyls promote dissolution. Their relative contribution to the overall dissolution rate depends on pH. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI Low-temperature isotopic exchange in obsidian: Implications for diffusive mechanisms SO GEOCHIMICA ET COSMOCHIMICA ACTA LA English DT Article ID NEUTRON REFLECTION; RELATIVE-HUMIDITY; RHYOLITIC GLASSES; SILICA GLASS; FLOAT GLASS; WATER; HYDRATION; PACHUCA; MEXICO; MELTS AB While a great deal is known about the interaction between water and rhyolitic glasses and melts at temperatures above the glass transition, the nature of this interaction at lower temperatures is much more poorly understood. This paper presents the results of a series of isotopic exchange experiments aimed at further elucidating this process and determining the extent to which a point-by-point analysis of the D/H or (18)O/(18)O isotopic composition across the hydrated rim on a geological or archaeological obsidian sample can be used as a paleoclimatic monitor. Experiments were performed by first hydrating the glass for 5 days in water of one isotopic composition, followed by 5 days in water of a second composition. Because waters of near end-member compositions were used (nearly pure (1)H(2)(16)O, (1)H(2)(18)O, and D(2)(16)O), the relative migration of each species could be ascertained easily by depth-profiling using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). Results suggest that, during hydration, both the isotopic composition of the waters of hydration, as well as that of intrinsic water remaining from the initial formation of the glass vary dramatically, and a point-by-point analysis leading to paleoclimatic reconstruction is not feasible.

In order to classify the microbial polymers that influence FeOOH mineralogy, we studied the organic and mineral components of biominerals using scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM), micro X-ray fluorescence (mu XRF) microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). We focused on iron microbial mat samples from a creek and abandoned mine; these samples are dominated by iron oxyhydroxide-coated structures with sheath, stalk, and filament morphologies. In addition, we characterized the mineralized products of an iron-oxidizing, stalk-forming bacterial culture isolated from the mine. In both natural and cultured samples, microbial polymers were found to be acidic polysaccharides with carboxyl functional groups, strongly spatially correlated with iron oxyhydroxide distribution patterns. Organic fibrils collect FeOOH and control its recrystallization, in some cases resulting in oriented crystals with high aspect ratios. The impact of polymers is particularly pronounced as the materials age. Synthesis experiments designed to mimic the biomineralization processes show that the polysaccharide carboxyl groups bind dissolved iron strongly but release it as mineralization proceeds. Our results suggest that carboxyl groups of acidic polysaccharides are produced by different microorganisms to create a wide range of iron oxyhydroxide biomineral structures. The intimate and potentially long-term association controls the crystal growth, phase, and reactivity of iron oxyhydroxide nano-particles in natural systems. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

TI Cation field strength effects on high pressure aluminosilicate glass structure: Multinuclear NMR and La XAFS results SO GEOCHIMICA ET COSMOCHIMICA ACTA LA English DT Article ID SOLID-STATE NMR; NUCLEAR-MAGNETIC-RESONANCE; NATURAL SILICATE LIQUIDS; RARE-EARTH-ELEMENTS; MAS NMR; AL COORDINATION; RAMAN-SPECTROSCOPY; AQUEOUS-SOLUTIONS; LOCAL-STRUCTURE; AL-27 NMR AB We examined aluminosilicate glasses containing a variety of network modifying to intermediate cations (Li, La, Sc, and Fe), quenched from melts at 1 atm to 8 GPa, to further investigate the role of cation field strength in Al coordination changes and densification. (27)Al Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) reveals that the mean Al coordination increases with increasing pressure in the Li-containing glasses, which can be explained by a linear dependence of fractional change in Al coordination number on cation field strengths in similar K-, Na-, and Ca-containing aluminosilicate glasses (K < Na < Li < Ca). Measured recovered densities follow a similar linear trend. In contrast, the La-containing glasses have significantly lower mean Al coordination numbers at given pressures than the cation field strength of La and glass density would predict. La L(3) X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy results indicate a significant increase with pressure in average La-O bond distances, suggesting that La and Al may be "competing" for higher coordinated sites and hence that both play a significant role in the densification of these glasses, especially in the lower pressure range. However, in Na aluminosilicate glasses with small amounts of SC, (45)Sc NMR reveals only modest Sc coordination changes, which do not seem to significantly affect the mean Al coordination values. For a Li aluminosilicate glass, (17)O MAS and multiple quantum magic angle spinning (3QMAS) NMR data are consistent with generation of more highly coordinated Al at the expense of non-bridging oxygen (NBO), whereas La aluminosilicate glasses have roughly constant O environments, even up to 8 GPa. Finally, we demonstrate that useful (23)Na and (27)Al MAS NMR spectra can be collected for Ca-Na aluminosilicate glasses containing up to 5 wt.% Fe oxide. We discuss the types of structural changes that may accompany density increases with pressure and how these structural changes are affected by the presence of different cations.

Ramon, Erick Brennecka, Greg TI Mechanisms for incompatible-element enrichment on the Moon deduced from the lunar basaltic meteorite Northwest Africa 032 SO GEOCHIMICA ET COSMOCHIMICA ACTA LA English DT Article ID RB-SR AGES; TI MARE BASALTS; U-TH-PB; SM-ND; ISOTOPIC SYSTEMATICS; MANTLE SOURCES; KREEP BASALT; LOW U/PB; NEODYMIUM; STRONTIUM AB The lunar meteorite Northwest Africa (NWA) 032 is a low-Ti basalt that has incompatible-element abundances and Th/Sm ratios characteristic of the involvement of late stage magma ocean crystallization products (urKREEP) in its petrogenesis. This sample is very fine-grained and contains terrestrial weather products. A progressive leaching procedure was therefore developed and applied to magnetic separates and whole rock fractions to obtain Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd ages. Although many of the leachates, as well as the unleached mineral and whole rock fractions contain terrestrial alteration products, selected residue fractions yield concordant Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd ages. Rubidium-Sr isotopic analyses yield in age of 2947 +/- 16 Ma with an initial (87)Sr/(86)Sr of 0.700057 +/- 17. These characteristics indicate NWA 032 is derived from a source region with an (87)Rb/(86)Sr ratio of 0.044 +/- 0.001. This value is higher than all but those determined for KREEP basalts, and suggests that NWA 032 is derived from a source region that has higher incompatible-element abundances than other low-Ti basalts. Samarium-neodymium isotopic analysis yield a concordant age of 2931 +/- 92 Ma and an initial epsilon(Nd) of +9.71 +/- 0.74 corresponding to a source region with (147)Sm/(144)Nd ratio of 0.246 +/- 0.004. The initial Nd isotopic composition stands in contrast to the initial Sr isotopic composition by requiring NWA 032 to be derived from a source with lower incompatible-element abundances than most low-Ti basalts. The source of NWA 032 is therefore unlike those of other lunar basalts. Modeling of magma ocean cumulate formation demonstrates that unlike other low-Ti basalt Source regions the NWA 032 source is a mixture of olivine, pigeonite, and clinopyroxene bearing cumulates and only a small amount Of urKREEP. Furthermore, unlike other mare basalt sources, the NWA 032 source does not contain appreciable quantities of plagioclase. Partial melting models demonstrate that the incompatible-clement characteristics of the NWA 032 result from formation by smaller degrees of partial melting than other mare basalts. Thus, the incompatible-element geochemical signature that is observed in NWA 032 appears to reflect the combined effects of generation from ail unusual plagioclase-free incompatible-element-depleted source region by very small degrees of partial melting. This study demonstrates that both the presence of urKREEP in the source region and small degrees of partial melting generate magmas with similar, but not identical, incompatible-element characteristics. In addition, it underscores the fact that there is significantly more geochemical diversity on the Moon than is represented by samples collected by the American and Soviet lunar missions.

However, the biogenicity of these putative microfossils has been called into question, primarily because the sample collection locality is a black, carbon-rich, brecciated chert dike representing an Archean submarine hydrothermal spring, suggesting a formation via an abiotic organic synthesis mechanism. Here we describe the macromolecular hydrocarbon structure, carbon bonding, functional group chemistry, and biotic element abundance of carbonaceous matter associated with these filamentous features. These characteristics are similar to those of biogenic kerogen from the ca. 1.9 Ga old Gunflint Formation. Although an abiotic origin cannot be entirely ruled out, it is unlikely that known abiotic synthesis mechanisms could recreate both the structural and compositional complexity of this ancient carbonaceous matter. Thus, we find that a biogenic origin for this material is more likely, implying that the Apex microbe-like features represent authentic biogenic organic matter.

Increasingly, permanent sensor arrays in boreholes and on the ocean floor are being deployed to improve the repeatability and increase the temporal sampling of monitoring surveys. Because permanent arrays require a large up-front capital investment and are difficult (or impossible) to reconfigure once installed, a premium is placed on selecting a geometry capable of imaging the desired target at minimum cost. We have taken a simple approach to optimizing downhole sensor configurations for monitoring experiments making use of differential seismic traveltimes. We used a design quality metric based on the accuracy of tomographic reconstructions for a suite of imaging targets. By not requiring an explicit singular value decomposition of the forward operator, evaluation of this objective function scaled to problems with a large numberof unknowns. We restricted the design problem by recasting the array geometry into a low-dimensional form more suitable for optimization at a reasonable computational cost. We tested two search algorithms on the design problem: the Nelder-Mead downhill simplex method and the multilevel coordinate search algorithm. The algorithm was tested for four crosswell acquisition scenarios relevant to continuous seismic monitoring, a two-parameter array optimization, several scenarios involving four-parameter length/offset optimizations, and a comparison of optimal multisource designs. In the last case, we also examined trade-offs between source sparsity and the quality of tomographic reconstructions. Asymmetrical array lengths improved localized image quality in crosswell experiments with a small number of sources and a large number of receivers. Preliminary results also suggested that high-quality differential images could be generated using only a small number of optimally positioned sources in tandem with a more extensive receiver array.

One recent example of unusual weather that may become more frequent with climate change occurred in early spring 2007 when a large Arctic air mass moved into the eastern United States following a very warm late winter. In this paper, we document effects of this freeze event on Walker Branch, a well-studied stream ecosystem in eastern Tennessee. The 2007 spring freeze killed newly grown leaf tissues in the forest canopy, dramatically increasing the amount of light reaching the stream. Light levels at the stream surface were sustained at levels considerably above those normal for the late spring and summer months due to the incomplete recovery of canopy leaf area. Increased light levels caused a cascade of ecological effects in the stream beginning with considerably higher (two-three times) rates of gross primary production (GPP) during the late spring and summer months when normally low light levels severely limit stream GPP. Higher rates of stream GPP in turn resulted in higher rates of nitrate (NO(3)(-)) uptake by the autotrophic community and lower NO(3)(-) concentrations in stream water. Higher rates of stream GPP in summer also resulted in higher growth rates of a dominant herbivore, the snail Elimia clavaeformis. Typically, during summer months net NO(3)(-) uptake and snail growth rates are zero to negative; however, in 2007 uptake and growth were maintained at moderate levels. These results show how changes in forest vegetation phenology can have dramatic effects on stream productivity at multiple trophic levels and on nutrient cycling as a result of tight coupling of forest and stream ecosystems. Thus, climate change-induced changes in canopy structure and phenology may lead to large effects on stream ecosystems in the future.

The most significant finding is that inflow through the wellbore screen changes the ratio of flow through the flowmeter to wellbore flow. Experiments reveal up to a factor of two differences in this ratio for conditions with and without inflow through the wellbore screen. Standard practice is to assume the ratio is constant. A numerical model has been developed to simulate the effect of inflow on the flowmeter. The model is formulated using momentum conservation within the borehole and around the flowmeter. The model is embedded in the MODFLOW-2000 ground water flow code. C1 [Clemo, Tom; Barrash, Warren] Boise State Univ, Ctr Invest Shallow Surface, Boise, ID 83725 USA.

Existing methods are often unstable, do not converge, or require extremely fine grids and small time steps. Standard modeling procedures such as automated model calibration and Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis typically require thousands of model runs. Stable and efficient model performance is essential to these analyses. We propose a new method that offers improvements in stability and efficiency and is relatively tolerant of coarse grids. It applies a strategy similar to that in the MODFLOW code to the solution of Richard's equation with a grid-dependent pressure/saturation relationship. The method imposes a contrast between horizontal and vertical permeability in gridblocks containing the water table, does not require "dry" cells to convert to inactive cells, and allows recharge to flow through relatively dry cells to the water table. We establish the accuracy of the method by comparison to an analytical solution for radial flow to a well in an unconfined aquifer with delayed yield. Using a suite of test problems, we demonstrate the efficiencies gained in speed and accuracy over two-phase simulations, and improved stability when compared to MODFLOW. The advantages for applications to transient unconfined aquifer analysis are clearly demonstrated by our examples. We also demonstrate applicability to mixed vadose zone/saturated zone applications, including transport, and find that the method shows great promise for these types of problem as well.

Selective labeling by C-13-enrichment of a specific carbon in lignin enhances its signal intensity in the spectrum. Further enhancement of the specifically labeled carbons can be realized via difference spectra created from the enriched and unenriched samples. Difference 2D C-13-H-1 correlation (HSQC) NMR spectra, derived from the spectra of specifically C-13-enriched lignin model polymers (so-called dehydrogenation polymers) and their unenriched counterparts, take advantage of the enhanced dispersion afforded by both C-13 and H-1 chemical shifts, diminishing the difficulties arising from the signal-overlap problem and aiding in definitive signal assignments. In this research, protolignin in xylem cell walls was specifically C-13-enriched at all of the individual phenylpropanoid side-chain carbons by feeding C-13-enriched coniferins to growing stems of Ginkgo biloba. The whole xylem fractions containing C-13-enriched and unenriched protolignins were dissolved in a mixture of N-methylimidazole and DMSO, and then acetylated. Solution state 2D-NMR (HSQC) spectra of the acetylated whole cell wall were acquired. Difference spectra between the walls containing C-13-enriched and unenriched lignins afforded simplified 2D spectra in which well-separated signals were assigned exclusively to the specifically enriched carbons. This novel NMR technique provides a useful tool for elucidation of entire protolignin in the cell wall of ginkgo xylem.

TI RF Energy Transmission for a Low-Power Wireless Impedance Sensor Node SO IEEE SENSORS JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE Active sensing; wireless energy transmission; wireless impedance device; wireless sensor networks ID MICROWAVE-POWER; RECTENNA; ACTUATOR; ANTENNA AB The proper management of energy resources is essential for any wireless sensing system. With applications that span industrial, civil, and aerospace infrastructure, it is necessary for sensors and sensor nodes to be physically robust and power efficient. In many applications, a sensor network must operate in locations that are difficult to access, and often these systems have a desired operational lifespan which exceeds that of conventional battery technologies. In the present study, the use of microwave energy is examined as an alternate method for powering compact, deployable wireless sensor nodes. A prototype microstrip patch antenna has been designed to operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and is used to collect directed radio frequency (RF) energy to power a wireless impedance device that provides active sensing capabilities for structural health monitoring applications. The system has been demonstrated in the laboratory, and was deployed in field experiments on the Alamosa Canyon Bridge in New Mexico in August 2007. The transmitted power was limited to 1 W in field tests, and was able to charge the sensor node to 3.6 V in 27 s. This power level was sufficient to measure two piezoelectric sensors and transmit data back to a base station on the bridge.

Electrostatic self-assembly, combined with acid treatment, and post-deposition annealing produced the membrane. The fabrication process offers the ability to control the thickness of the membrane, as well as enabling the engineering of the humidity sensitivity properties. A transparent humidity sensor was fabricated by integrating the membrane between two parallel electrodes. In order to improve the moisture absorption and diffusion, both the polyelectrolyte layer and the electrode were made porous. The membrane was cross-linked to enhance the durability in high humid environments. Such a polyelectrolyte membrane showed high sensitivity to relative humidity variation over a range of 25%-99%. The see-through property of the structure adds extra features and benefits to the sensor. C1 [Zhang, Qiaohui; Smith, James R.; Hua, Feng] Clarkson Univ, Dept Elect & Comp Engn, Potsdam, NY 13699 USA.

Measuring these parameters directly from tires offers the potential for improving significantly the performance of active safety systems. We present a distributed architecture for a data-acquisition system that is based on a number of complex intelligent sensors inside the tire that form a wireless sensor network with coordination nodes placed on the body of the car. The design of this system has been extremely challenging due to the very limited available energy combined with strict application requirements for data rate, delay, size, weight, and reliability in a highly dynamical environment. Moreover, it required expertise in multiple engineering disciplines, including control-system design, signal processing, integrated-circuit design, communications, real-time software design, antenna design, energy scavenging, and system assembly.

TI A Neural Network for Real-Time Retrievals of PWV and LWP From Arctic Millimeter-Wave Ground-Based Observations SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING LA English DT Article DE Ground-based microwave radiometry; inverse problems; millimeter-wave measurements; neural network (NN) applications ID PRECIPITABLE WATER-VAPOR; LIQUID WATER; MICROWAVE RADIOMETERS; RADIATIVE-TRANSFER; CLOUD PROPERTIES; TEMPERATURE; ALGORITHM; PROFILES; SURFACE; PATH AB This paper presents a new neural network (NN) algorithm for real-time retrievals of low amounts of precipitable water vapor (PWV) and integrated liquid water from millimeter-wave ground-based observations. Measurements are collected by the 183.3-GHz G-band vapor radiometer (GVR) operating at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program Climate Research Facility, Barrow, AK. The NN provides the means to explore the nonlinear regime of the measurements and investigate the physical boundaries of the operability of the instrument. A methodology to compute individual error bars associated with the NN output is developed, and a detailed error analysis of the network output is provided. Through the error analysis, it is possible to isolate several components contributing to the overall retrieval errors and to analyze the dependence of the errors on the inputs. The network outputs and associated errors are then compared with results from a physical retrieval and with the ARM two-channel microwave radiometer (MWR) statistical retrieval. When the NN is trained with a seasonal training data set, the retrievals of water vapor yield results that arc: comparable to those obtained from a traditional physical retrieval, with a retrieval error percentage of similar to 5% when the PWV is between 2 and 10 mm, but with the advantages that the NN algorithm does not require vertical profiles of temperature and humidity as input and is significantly faster computationally. Liquid water path (LWP) retrievals from the NN have a significantly improved clear-sky bias (mean of similar to 2.4 g/m(2)) and a retrieval error varying from 1 to about 10 g/m(2) when the PWV amount is between 1 and 10 mm. As an independent validation of the LWP retrieval, the longwave downwelling surface flux was computed and compared with observations. The comparison shows a significant improvement with respect to the MWR statistical retrievals, particularly for LWP amounts of less than 60 g/m(2). This paper shows that the GVR alone can provide overall improved PWV and LWP retrievals when the PWV amount is less than 10 mm, and, when combined with the MWR, can provide improved retrievals over the whole water-vapor range.

Motion trajectories and positions of CNTs assembled on electrodes are predicted based on calculated DEP forces and torques. Both simulation and experimental results show that the geometries of two opposing electrodes significantly affect the precision and robustness with which CNTs can be deposited. Experimental investigation of an electrode array demonstrates that the spacing between neighboring electrode pairs should be larger than twice the width of electrodes to avoid overlapping electric fields and unstable DEP forces; otherwise, unequally distributed electric fields and DEP forces induce a significant number of assembly failures in the array.

Phragmites australis (common reed) is regarded as an invasive perennial weed with a productivity of up to 18-28 tons of dry weight per acre per year. We applied the cellulose solvent- and organic solvent-based lignocellulose fractionation (COSLIF) to the stems and leaves of Phragmites and optimized the pretreatment conditions (e.g., temperature, reaction time, and biomass moisture content) through response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal pretreatment conditions were 85% (w/v) H(3)PO(4), 50 degrees C, and 60 min, regardless of the biomass moisture contents from 5-15% (w/w). Glucan digestibility of the COSLIF-pretreated common reed was 90% at hour 24 at a low cellulase loading (5 filter paper units and 10 beta-glucosidase units per gram of glucan). Under these conditions, the overall sugar yields were 88% for glucose and 71% for xylose, respectively. Cellulose accessibility to cellulase (CAC) was increased 93.6-fold from 0.14 +/- 0.035 to 13.1 +/- 1.1 m(2) per gram of biomass with the COSLIF pretreatment. Results showed that cellulase concentrations could be reduced by 3-fold with only a slight reduction in sugar yield. This study suggested that Phragmites could be used as a carbon-neutral bioenergy feedstock, while its harvesting could help control its invasive growth and decrease nutrient pollution in adjacent waterways.

The reactor has been tested in the Seafloor Process Simulator (SPS), a 72-L pressure vessel available at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. During experiments, the reactor was submerged in water inside the SPS and received water from the surrounding through a submersible pump and CH(4) externally through a gas booster pump. Thermodynamic conditions in the hydrate stability regime were employed in the experiments. The reactor produced a continuous stream of CH(4) hydrate, and based on pressure values and amount of gas injected, the conversion of gas to hydrate was estimated. A conversion of up to 70% was achieved using this reactor. C1 [Taboada-Serrano, Patricia; Tsouris, Costas] Georgia Inst Technol, Atlanta, GA 30332 USA.

Following saturation of the material's immobilized tertiary amines, CA-bearing carrier water is separated and recycled to the absorption stage while CO2-loaded material is thermally regenerated. Process application of this concept would involve operation of two or more columns in parallel with thermal regeneration with low-pressure steam taking place after the capacity of a column of amine-bearing polymeric material was exceeded. PABB CO2-bearing capacity was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) for beads of three acrylamido buffering monomer ingredient concentrations: 0 mol/kg bead, 0.857 mol/kg bead, and 2 mol/kg bead. TGA results demonstrate that CO2-bearing capacity increases with increasing PABB buffering concentration and that up to 78% of the theoretical CO2-bearing capacity was realized in prepared PABB samples (0.857 mol/kg recipe). The highest observed CO2-bearing capacity of PABB was 1.37 mol of CO2 per kg dry bead. TGA was also used to assess the regenerability Of CO2-loaded PABB. Preliminary results suggest that CO2 is partially driven from PABB samples at temperatures as low as 55 degrees C, with complete regeneration occurring at 100 degrees C. Other physical characteristics of PABB are discussed. In addition, the effectiveness of bovine carbonic anhydrase for the catalysis Of CO2 dissolution is evaluated. Potential benefits and drawbacks of the proposed process are discussed. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

TI Dispersion by wind of CO2 leaking from underground storage: Comparison of analytical solution with simulation SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GREENHOUSE GAS CONTROL LA English DT Article DE CO2 storage; CO2 leakage; Numerical simulation; Atmospheric surface layer; Advection-diffusion equation; Analytical solution ID TRANSPORT; SURFACE; LAYER; FLOW AB The concentration of CO2 in air near the ground needs to be predicted to assess environmental and health risks from leaking underground storage. There is an exact solution to the advection-diffusion equation describing trace gases carried by wind when the wind profile is modeled with a power-law dependence on height. The analytical solution is compared with a numerical simulation of the coupled air-ground system with a source of CO2 underground at the water table. The two methods produce similar results far from the boundaries, but the boundary conditions have a strong effect; the simulation imposes boundary conditions at the edge of a finite domain while the analytic solution imposes them at infinity. The reverse seepage from air to ground is shown in the simulation to be very small, and the large difference between time scales suggests that air and ground can be modeled separately, with gas emissions from the ground model used as inputs to the air model.

Nicot, Jean-Philippe TI Certification framework based on effective trapping for geologic carbon sequestration SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GREENHOUSE GAS CONTROL LA English DT Article DE Geologic carbon sequestration; Leakage risk; Risk assessment ID CO2 STORAGE; DIOXIDE; WATER; SEEPAGE; SITES AB We have developed a certification framework (CF) for certifying the safety and effectiveness of geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) sites. Safety and effectiveness are achieved if CO(2) and displaced brine have no significant impact on humans, other living things, resources, or the environment. In the CF, we relate effective trapping to CO(2) leakage risk which takes into account both the impact and probability of leakage. We achieve simplicity in the CF by using (1) wells and faults as the potential leakage pathways, (2) compartments to represent environmental resources that may be impacted by leakage, (3) CO(2) fluxes and concentrations in the compartments as proxies for impact to vulnerable entities, (4) broad ranges of storage formation properties to generate a catalog of simulated plume movements, and (5) probabilities of intersection of the CO(2) plume with the conduits and compartments. We demonstrate the approach on a hypothetical GCS site in a Texas Gulf Coast saline formation. Through its generality and flexibility, the CF can contribute to the assessment of risk Of CO(2) and brine leakage as part of the certification process for licensing and permitting of GCS sites around the world regardless of the specific regulations in place in any given country.

Methods are presented to minimize entropy generation by adjusting the shape of the duct's cross-section. Choosing a different cross-sectional shape allows for control of the competing fluid flow and heat transfer irreversibilities. By controlling the competing irreversibilities, the total entropy generation rate can be minimized. Given the flow rate, heat transfer rate, available cross-sectional area, and the fluid properties, a general design correlation is presented that allows for a determination of the optimal shape of a duct.

TI Automotive hydrogen storage system using cryo-adsorption on activated carbon SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HYDROGEN ENERGY LA English DT Article DE Hydrogen storage; Cryo-adsorption; Activated carbon ID INSULATED PRESSURE-VESSELS AB An integrated model of a sorbent-based cryogenic compressed hydrogen system is used to assess the prospect of meeting the near-term targets of 36 kg-H(2)/m(3) volumetric and 4.5 wt% gravimetric capacity for hydrogen-fueled vehicles. The model includes the thermodynamics of H(2) sorption, heat transfer during adsorption and desorption, sorption dynamics, energetics of cryogenic tank cooling, and containment of H(2) in geodesically wound carbon fiber tanks. The results from the model show that recoverable hydrogen, rather than excess or absolute adsorption, is a determining measure of whether a sorbent is a good candidate material for on-board storage of H(2). A temperature swing is needed to recover >80% of the sorption capacity of the superactivated carbon sorbent at 100 K and 100 bar as the tank is depressurized to 3-8 bar. The storage pressure at which the system needs to operate in order to approach the system capacity targets has been deter-mined and compared with the breakeven pressure above which the storage tank is more compact if H(2) is stored only as a cryo-compressed gas. The amount of liquid N(2) needed to cool the hydrogen dispensed to the vehicle to 100 K and to remove the heat of adsorption during refueling has been estimated. The electrical energy needed to produce the requisite liquid N(2) by air liquefaction is compared with the electrical energy needed to liquefy the same amount of H(2) at a central plant. The alternate option of adiabatically refueling the sorbent tank with liquid H(2) has been evaluated to determine the relationship between the storage temperature and the sustainable temperature swing. Finally, simulations have been run to estimate the increase in specific surface area and bulk density of medium needed to satisfy the system capacity targets with H(2) storage at 100 bar.

Passive, buoyancy-driven ventilation is one approach to limiting the concentration to a safe level. We explored the relationship between leak rate, ventilation design, and hydrogen concentration through laboratory testing, an algebraic analysis, and CFD modeling. We used helium to test slow, steady, low-velocity leaks in a full-scale test room under nearly isothermal, steady conditions, and we report the results in sufficient detail that other modelers can use them. The results show the importance and variability of stratification. Our algebraic and CFD models agree very well with the experimental results. We describe our CFD approach in sufficient detail for use by others. We tested under nearly isothermal conditions, but also discuss indoor-outdoor temperature difference as an important risk factor. Information about realistic leakage scenarios is needed to apply these results as safety recommendations. (C) 2009 International Association for Hydrogen Energy. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

A system to test the reactors was set up coupling two reactors containing either LaNi(x)Al(5-x) or Ca(y)Mm(1-y)Ni(5) alloys, used as low and high pressure metal hydrides, respectively. In order to develop the high-power reactor, the metal hydrides were thinly coated (about 1-2 mu m thickness) with copper and compressed to form the Porous Metal Hydrides (PMH) compacts. During the experiments, the dynamic behaviors of the reactive kinetics of the system were monitored. Among the tested systems, the coupling of Ca(0.6)Mm(0.4)Ni(5) and LaNi(4.75)Al(0.25) was the most effective for thermal energy applications. It took the least time to reach the equilibrium state in both hydriding and dehydriding processes (approximately 250 s) and had the highest amount of heat generation/absorption. The smaller the value of y in Ca(1-y)Mm(y)Ni(5) alloys, causing the alloy to contain more calcium, the faster the reaction kinetics. In the case of the LaNi(x)Al(5-x) reactor, the addition of aluminum enhanced the reaction kinetics. Moreover, the reactor with the low pressure metal hydride, LaNi(x)Al(5-x), took a longer period of time to reach the equilibrium state than when the high pressure metal hydride, Ca(1-y)Mm(y)Ni(5), was employed.

This work includes quantitative risk assessments (QRA) of hydrogen facilities. The QRAs are used to identify and quantify scenarios for the unintended release of hydrogen and thus help identify the code requirements that would reduce the risk at hydrogen facilities to acceptable levels. This paper describes an application of QRA methods to help establish one key code requirement: the minimum separation distances between a hydrogen refueling station and other facilities and the public at large.

Currently, many permitting authorities rely on compliance with well-known codes and standards as evidence of a safe design. To ensure that a hydrogen facility is indeed safe, the code and standard requirements should be identified using a risk-informed process that utilizes an acceptable level of risk. This paper describes an approach for risk-informing the permitting process for hydrogen fueling stations that relies primarily on the establishment of risk-informed codes and standards. Using accepted Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) techniques and the established risk criteria, the minimum code and standard requirements necessary to ensure the safe operation of hydrogen facilities can be identified. To facilitate consistent risk-informed approaches, the participants in the International Energy Agency (IEA) Task 19 on hydrogen safety are working to identify acceptable risk criteria, QRA models, and supporting data.

TI Analysis of jet flames and unignited jets from unintended releases of hydrogen SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HYDROGEN ENERGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 2nd International Conference on Hydrogen Safety CY SEP, 2007 CL San Sebastian, SPAIN DE Hydrogen jet flames; Hydrogen unignited jets; Unintended releases of hydrogen; Hydrogen jet flame barrier; Interaction ID HIGH-PRESSURE JETS; TURBULENT; DECAY AB A combined experimental and modeling program is being carried out at Sandia National Laboratories to characterize and predict the behavior of unintended hydrogen releases. In the case where the hydrogen leak remains unignited, knowledge of the concentration field and flammability envelope is an issue of importance in determining consequence distances for the safe use of hydrogen. in the case where a high-pressure leak of hydrogen is ignited, a classic turbulent jet flame forms. Knowledge of the flame length and thermal radiation heat flux distribution is important to safety. Depending on the effective diameter of the leak and the tank source pressure, free jet flames can be extensive in length and pose significant radiation and impingement hazard, resulting in consequence distances that are unacceptably large. One possible mitigation strategy to potentially reduce the exposure to jet flames is to incorporate barriers around hydrogen storage equipment. The reasoning is that walls will reduce the extent of unacceptable consequences due to jet releases resulting from accidents involving high-pressure equipment. While reducing the jet extent, the walls may introduce other hazards if not configured properly. The goal of this work is to provide guidance on configuration and placement of these walls to minimize overall hazards using a quantitative risk assessment approach. The program includes detailed CFD calculations of jet flames and unignited jets to predict how hydrogen leaks and jet flames interact with barriers, complemented by an experimental validation program that considers the interaction of jet flames and unignited jets with barriers. As a first step in this work on barrier release interaction the Sandia CFD model has been validated by computing the concentration decay of unignited turbulent free jets and comparing the results with the classic concentration decay laws for turbulent free jets taken from experimental data. Computations for turbulent hydrogen free jet flames are also presented and compared with experimental data for the temperature profile in lab-scale turbulent free hydrogen jet flames. Finally, preliminary results of calculations of hydrogen jet flame impingement on barriers are presented and compared with images of large-scale hydrogen jet flame deflection from barrier wall experimental tests.

The role of the experiments in the integrated approach is two-fold. On the one hand. careful measurements provide accurate boundary conditions and material parameters for a complete setup of the simulations without free parameters. On the other hand, quantitative performance metrics are Provided by the experiments, which are compared a posteriori with the results of the simulations. A modified Hopkinson bar setup in association with notch-face loading is used to obtain controlled loading of the fracture specimens. An inverse problem of cohesive zone modeling is performed to obtain accurate mode-I cohesive zone laws from experimentally measured deformation fields. The speckle interferometry technique is employed to obtain the experimentally measured deformation field. Dynamic photoelasticity in conjunction with high-speed photography is used to Capture experimental records of crack propagation. The comparison shows that both the experiments and the numerical simulations result in very similar Crack initiation times and produce crack tip velocities which differ by less than 6%. The results also confirm that the detailed shape of the non-linear cohesive zone law has no significant influence on the numerical results. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

One alternative to monolithic targets is to use segmented targets made by stacking multiple concrete slabs in series. This paper presents an experimental investigation on the performance of segmented concrete targets. Six experiments were Carried Out on available small scale segmented and monolithic targets using instrumented projectiles. In all but One experiment using stacked slabs, the gap between slabs remained open. In the final experiment design, grout was inserted between the slabs, and this modification produced a target response that more closely represents that of the monolithic target. The results from this Study Suggest that further research on segmented targets is justified, to explore in more detail the response of segmented targets and the results of large scale tests when using segmented targets versus monolithic targets.

The importance of obtaining particle homogeneity in biological assemblies is a critical goal, as bulk analysis tools often require identical species for reliable interpretation of the results-indeed, important tools of analysis such as x-ray diffraction typically require over 90% purity for effectiveness. This issue bears particular importance in the case of lipoproteins. Lipid-binding proteins known as apolipoproteins can self assemble with liposomes to form reconstituted high density lipoproteins (rHDLs) or nanolipoprotein particles (NLPs) when used for biotechnology applications such as the solubilization of membrane proteins. Typically, the apolipoprotein and phospholipids reactants are self assembled and even with careful assembly protocols the product often contains heterogeneous particles. In fact, size polydispersity in rHDLs and NLPs published in the literature are frequently observed, which may confound the accurate use of analytical methods. In this article, we demonstrate a procedure for producing a pure, monodisperse NLP subpopulation from a polydisperse self-assembly using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) coupled with high resolution particle imaging by atomic force microscopy (AFM). In addition, NLPs have been shown to self assemble both in the presence and absence of detergents such as cholate, yet the effects of cholate on NLP polydispersity and separation has not been systematically examined. Therefore, we examined the separation properties of NLPs assembled in both the absence and presence of cholate using SEC and native gel electrophoresis. From this analysis, NLPs prepared with and without cholate showed particles with well defined diameters spanning a similar size range. However, cholate was shown to have a dramatic affect on NLP separation by SEC and native gel electrophoresis. Furthermore, under conditions where different sized NLPs were not sufficiently separated or purified by SEC, AFM was used to deconvolute the elution pattern of different sized NLPs. From this analysis we were able to purify an NLP subpopulation to 90% size homogeneity by taking extremely fine elutions from the SEC. With this purity, we generate high quality NLP crystals that were over 100 mu m in size with little precipitate, which could not be obtained utilizing the traditional size exclusion techniques. This purification procedure and the methods for validation are broadly applicable to other lipoprotein particles.

Part 1: The bundle-of-tubes model SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MULTIPHASE FLOW LA English DT Article DE Porous media; Multiphase flow; Ensemble phase average ID CAPILLARY-PRESSURE; 2-PHASE FLOW; SATURATION RELATIONSHIP; NEUTRON-RADIOGRAPHY; BUILDING-MATERIALS; WATER-ABSORPTION; UNSATURATED FLOW; DISPERSE; IMBIBITION; MOVEMENT AB A bundle-of-tubes construct is used as a model system to study ensemble averaged equations for multiphase flow in a porous material. Momentum equations for the fluid phases obtained from the method are similar to Darcy's law, but with additional terms. We study properties of the additional terms, and the conditions under which the averaged equations can be approximated by the diffusion model or the extended Darcy's law as often used in models for multiphase flows in porous media. Although the bundle-of-tubes model is perhaps the simplest model for a porous material, the ensemble averaged equation technique developed in this paper assumes the very same form in more general treatments described in Part 2 of the present work (Zhang, D.Z., 2009. Ensemble Phase Averaged Equations for Multiphase Flows in Porous Media, Part 2: A General Theory. Int. J. Multiphase Flow 35, 640-649). Any model equation system intended for the more general cases must be understood and tested first using simple models. The concept of ensemble phase averaging is dissected here in physical terms, without involved mathematics through its application to the idealized bundle-of-tubes model for multiphase flow in porous media.

The pressure difference between the phases is thought to be an effect of surface tension and is called capillary pressure. Independent of Darcy's law, for liquid imbibition processes in a porous material, diffusion models are sometime used. In this paper, an ensemble phase averaging technique for continuous multiphase flows is applied to derive averaged equations and to examine the validity of the commonly used models. Closure for the averaged equations is quite complicated for general multiphase flows in a porous material. For flows with a small ratio of the characteristic length of the phase interfaces to the macroscopic length, the closure relations can be simplified significantly by an approximation with a second order error in this length ratio. This approximation reveals the information of the length scale separation obscured during an averaging process and leads to an equation system similar to Darcy's law, but with additional terms. Based on interactions on phase interfaces, relations among closure quantities are studied. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Technological advances in both hardware and software will lead to an ever more promising future for fMRI. We have developed a new computational framework that facilitates fMRI experimentation and analysis, and which has led to some rethinking of the nature of experimental design and analysis. The Computational Neuroscience Applications Research Infrastructure (CNARI) incorporates novel methods for maintaining, serving, and analyzing massive amounts of fMRI data. By using CNARI, it is possible to perform naturalistic, network-based, statistically valid experiments in systems neuroscience on a very large scale, with ease of data manipulation and analysis, within reasonable computational time scales. In this article, we describe this infrastructure and then illustrate its use on a number of actual examples in both cognitive neuroscience and neurological research. We believe that these advanced computational approaches will fundamentally change the future shape of cognitive brain imaging with fMRI. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The measurements were performed using a Brookfield DV-II Pro Viscometer with a small sample adapter (SSA18/13RPY). The results reported here clearly demonstrate that these fluids had a yield stress and behaved as shear-thinning non-Newtonian fluids. The yield stress decreased to the Newtonian limit, as the particle volume fraction decreased and still existed even at very low particle volume fractions. It was observed that the prepared Fe2O3-DW-0.2% PVP nanofluids with particle volume fraction phi less than 0.02 still behaved as a Newtonian fluid. As the volume fraction was increased beyond 0.02, the fluid became non-Newtonian with shear-thinning behavior. Similar results were also observed when DW-0.2% PEO was used. The suspension, however, exhibited its non-Newtonian, shear-thinning behavior at phi as low as 0.02. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.

Each has lower unemployment rates, lower poverty rates, lower school dropout rates, and better housing conditions than the nation. Prosperous counties tend to have more educated populations, more diverse economies, more private non-farm jobs, more farmers and government farm payments, more creative class occupations, and more equal income distributions. They have fewer African-American, American Indian, or Hispanic residents and fewer recent immigrants. Some findings support what many rural people believe to be true: civically engaged religious groups and other identities that bind people together can really matter. Other results contradict conventional wisdom. For instance, climate and distances to cities and major airports, are relatively unimportant. Focusing on prosperity, instead of growth or competitiveness, provides new insights into rural conditions and prospects.

TI Predictive reactor pressure vessel steel irradiation embrittlement models: Issues and opportunities SO JOM LA English DT Article ID RPV STEELS; EVOLUTION AB Nuclear plant life extension to 80 years will require accurate predictions of neutron irradiation-induced increases in the ductile-brittle transition temperature (Delta T) of reactor pressure vessel steels at high fluence conditions that are far outside the existing database. Remarkable progress in mechanistic understanding of irradiation embrittlement has led to physically motivated Delta T correlation models that provide excellent statistical fits to the existing surveillance database. However, an important challenge is developing advanced embrittlement models for low flux-high fluence conditions pertinent to extended life. These new models must also provide better treatment of key variables and variable combinations and account for possible delayed formation of "late blooming phases" in low copper steels. Other issues include uncertainties in the compositions of actual vessel steels, methods to predict Delta T attenuation away from the reactor core, verification of the master curve method to directly measure the fracture toughness with small specimens and predicting Delta T for vessel annealing remediation and re-irradiation cycles.

The PMS technique is a well-established method to measure multiple elements of the Mueller scattering matrix. However, the inference of the scatterers' properties (e.g., the size distribution function and refractive index) from such measurements involves solving an ill-conditioned inverse problem. In this paper, a new inversion technique was demonstrated to infer particle properties from PMS measurements. The new technique formulated the inverse problem into a minimization problem, which is then solved by the simulated annealing technique. Both numerical and experimental investigation on the new inversion technique was presented in the paper. The results obtained demonstrated the robustness and reliability of the new algorithm, and supported its expanded applications in scientific and technological areas involving particulates/aerosols.

The X-band ESR spectra of the Kondo lattices YbBiPt, YbRh2Pb, and YbT2Zn20 (T = Fe, Co) are presented. A comparison with earlier ESR studies in YbRh2Si2 and YbIr2Si2 shows that the exchange interactions between the Yb 4f electrons and relevant conduction electron (cl, s-, or p-like) bands as well as the hybridization crystalline electric field (CEF) effects should be taken into account in order to develop a reliable model of spin dynamics in the Yb-based HF systems.

Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilms were grown on polyvinyl chloride coupons in annular reactors under low nutrient conditions. After biofilm growth, B. cereus spores and polystyrene microspheres (an abiotic control) were introduced separately. Shear stress at the biofilm surface was varied between 0.15 and 1.5 N m(-2). The amount of surrogate pathogens introduced ranged from approximately 10(5) CFU ml(-1) to 10(10) spheres ml(-1). The quantity of surrogate pathogens integrated in the biofilm was proportional to the amount introduced. In 14 of the 16 cases, 0.4-3.0% of the spores or spheres introduced were measured in the biofilms. The other two cases had 10% and 21% of the spores detected. Data suggested that the spores germinated in the system. The amount of surrogate pathogens detected in the biofilms was higher in the mid-shear range. Chlorine treatment reduced the quantity of both surrogate pathogens and biofilm organisms. In one experiment, the biofilms and B. cereus recovered when the chlorine treatment was terminated. Planktonic surrogate pathogens can be integrated in biofilms and protected from chlorination decontamination. This knowledge assists in understanding the impact of biofilms on harbouring potential pathogens in drinking-water systems and protecting the pathogens from decontamination. C1 [Altman, S.

Irradiation with nanosecond laser pulses leads to significant recovery of hole-mediated ferromagnetism in these films. By tuning processing parameters such as laser fluence and number of pulses, one can control the electrical and magnetic properties-namely, resistivity, magnetic coercivity, and remnant magnetization-in the laser-activated region. Ion-beam analysis indicates that the structural integrity of the film is maintained upon hydrogenation and laser annealing with evidence for displacement of substitutional Mn ions toward interstitial sites due to hydrogen-complex formation. Laser annealing results in the relaxation of up to 50% of Mn atoms back to substitutional sites while the Curie temperature recovers to similar to 60% of the T(C) prior to hydrogenation. Subsequent thermal annealing results in full relocation of Mn atoms to substitutional sites, yet the T(C) remains pinned at similar to 60% of its original value, suggesting the formation of a defect complex involving substitutional Mn. Our numerical simulations elucidate the strong interplay between laser processing parameters and Mn-H dissociation. C1 [Farshchi, R.; Dubon, O.

By considering conservation of energy and phonon population, the decay of a high energy phonon in one material into several lower energy phonons in another material is modeled assuming diffuse scattering. The individual contributions of each of the higher order inelastic phonon processes to thermal boundary conductance are calculated and compared to the elastic contribution. The overall thermal boundary conductance from elastic and inelastic (three or more phonon processes) scattering is calculated and compared to experimental data on five different interfaces. Improvement in value and trend is observed by taking into account multiple phonon inelastic scattering. Three phonon interfacial processes are predicted to dominate the inelastic contribution to thermal boundary conductance. C1 Sandia Natl Labs, Engn Sci Ctr, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

Cathodoluminescence spectra of AlN grown by molecular beam epitaxy on Si (0001) substrate and doped by implantation with ytterbium (Yb) ions were critically examined assuming that Yb3+ ions are involved in different sites. The comparison between the emission spectra of Yb3+ ions in the GaN and AlN indicates the presence of some similarities between the lattice locations of Yb3+ ions in these hosts. We demonstrate that assuming the existence of a substitutional Yb-Al(Ga) site and a V-N-Yb complex defect in AlN (GaN) lattice, a good agreement between the measured and calculated energy values of Yb3+ ion transition lines can be obtained. Furthermore, we have investigated the Zeeman g and g(perpendicular to) parameters for the Yb3+ ion in an Al substitutional site as well as in the V-N-Yb complex using the perturbation theory.

Shock simulations are performed at different initial temperatures and shock stresses but similar strain rates (epsilon center dot similar to 10(10)-10(11) s(-1)). The anisotropy in spall strength (sigma(sp)) is explored for five crystallographic orientations, << 100 >>, << 110 >>, << 111 >>, << 114 >>, and << 123 >>. For liquid, we examine shock- and release-induced melts as well as premelted Cu. The acoustic method for deducing sigma(sp) and epsilon center dot is a reasonable first-order approximation. The anisotropy in sigma(sp) is pronounced for weak shocks and decreases for stronger shocks. Voids are nucleated at defective sites in a solid. For weak solid shocks, spallation occurs without tensile melting; for stronger shocks or if the temperature right before spallation (T(sp)) is sufficiently high, spallation may be accompanied or preceded by partial melting. T(sp) appears to have a dominant effect on spallation for the narrow range of epsilon center dot studied here. sigma(sp) decreases with increasing T(sp) for both solids and liquids, and sigma(sp)(T(sp)) follows an inverse power law for liquids. The simulated sigma(sp) for solid Cu at low T(sp) is consistent with the prediction of the power-law relation sigma(sp)(epsilon center dot) based on low strain rate experiments.

Experimental data were analyzed and accompanied by theoretical modeling. Enhancements in the effective thermal conductivities due to particle shape effects expected from Hamilton-Crosser equation are strongly diminished by interfacial effects proportional to the total surface area of nanoparticles. On the other hand, the presence of nanoparticles and small volume fractions of agglomerates with high aspect ratios strongly increases viscosity of suspensions due to structural constrains. Nanoparticle surface charge also plays an important role in viscosity. It is demonstrated that by adjusting pH of nanofluid, it is possible to reduce viscosity of alumina nanofluid without significantly affecting thermal conductivity. Efficiency of nanofluids (ratio of thermal conductivity and viscosity increase) for real-life cooling applications is evaluated in both the laminar and turbulent flow regimes using the experimental values of thermal conductivity and viscosity.

Much less effort has been devoted to InN and In-rich InGaN alloys. A major breakthrough in 2002, stemming from much improved quality of InN films grown using molecular beam epitaxy, resulted in the bandgap of InN being revised from 1.9 eV to a much narrower value of 0.64 eV. This finding triggered a worldwide research thrust into the area of narrow-band-gap group-III nitrides. The low value of the InN bandgap provides a basis for a consistent description of the electronic structure of InGaN and InAlN alloys with all compositions. It extends the fundamental bandgap of the group III-nitride alloy system over a wider spectral region, ranging from the near infrared at similar to 1.9 mu m (0.64 eV for InN) to the ultraviolet at similar to 0.36 mu m (3.4 eV for GaN) or 0.2 mu m (6.2 eV for AlN). The continuous range of bandgap energies now spans the near infrared, raising the possibility of new applications for group-III nitrides. In this article we present a detailed review of the physical properties of InN and related group III-nitride semiconductors. The electronic structure, carrier dynamics, optical transitions, defect physics, doping disparity, surface effects, and phonon structure will be discussed in the context of the InN bandgap re-evaluation. We will then describe the progress, perspectives, and challenges in the developments of new electronic and optoelectronic devices based on InGaN alloys. Advances in characterization and understanding of InN and InGaN nanostructures will also be reviewed in comparison to their thin film counterparts.

The storm onsets tend to occur after the passage of the IMF sector reversal and before the passage of the stream interface, and the storms continue on for days during the passage of the highspeed stream. The superdense phase of the plasma sheet is found to be a common feature of higli-speed-stream-driven storms, commencing before the onset of the storm and persisting for about I day into the storm. A separate phenomenon, the extra-hot phase of the plasma sheet, commences at storm onset and persists for several days during the storm. The superdense plasma sheet originates from the high-density compressed slow and fast solar wind of the corotating interaction region on the leading edge of the highspeed stream. Tracking the motion of this dense plasma into and through the magnetosphere, plasma transport times are estimated. Transport from the nightside of the dipole to the dayside requires about 10 h. The occurrences of both the superdense plasma sheet and the extra-hot plasma sheet have broad implications for the physics of geomagnetic storms. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI Ring current development during high speed streams SO JOURNAL OF ATMOSPHERIC AND SOLAR-TERRESTRIAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT Workshop on High Speed Solar Wind Streams and Geospace Interactions CY SEP 02-07, 2007 CL St Martins Coll, Ambleside, ENGLAND HO St Martins Coll DE Inner magnetosphere; Magnetic storms; Electric fields and ring current; Plasma motion; Plasma convection ID ELECTRIC-FIELD MODEL; GEOMAGNETIC STORMS; MAGNETOSPHERE; SIMULATIONS; ASYMMETRY; PARTICLES; REGIONS; DRIVEN; EARTH; SHOCK AB Episodes of southward (B-z<0) interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) which lead to disturbed geomagnetic conditions are associated either with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and possess long and continuous negative IMF B-z excursions, or with high speed solar wind streams (HSS) whose geoeffectiveness is due to IMF B-z profiles fluctuating about zero with various amplitudes and duration. We Simulate ring current evolution during a HISS-driven storm that occurred during 24-26 October 2002 and compare its dynamics with a CME-driven storm of similar strength during 22-23 April 2001. We use our kinetic ring current-atmosphere interactions model (RAM), and investigate the mechanisms responsible for trapping particles and for causing their loss. Ring current evolution depends on the interplay of time-dependent inflow of plasma from the magnetotail, particle acceleration and loss (mainly due to charge exchange) along adiabatic drift paths, and outflow of plasma from the dayside magnetopause; all of these processes are incorporated in our model. We compare results from simulations using a newly developed, Cluster data based, University of New Hampshire inner magnetospheric electric field (UNH-IMEF) convection model with simulations using a Volland-Stern (V-S) type convection model. We find that, first, periods of increased magnetospheric convection coinciding with enhancements of plasma sheet density are needed for strong ring current buildup. Second, during the HSS-driven storm the convection potential from UNH-IMEF model is highly variable and Causes sporadic shallow injections resulting in a weak ring Current. The long period of enhanced convection during the CME-driven storm causes a continuous ion injection penetrating to lower L shells and stronger ring current buildup. V-S model predicts larger ring current injection during both storms. Third, the RAM driven by either convection model underestimates the total ring current energy during the recovery phase of the HSS storm, thus indicating that additional injections from substorm-induced electric fields and/or radial diffusion are needed to better reproduce its several-clay long geomagnetic activity.

TI The Crystal Structures of Substrate and Nucleotide Complexes of Enterococcus faecium Aminoglycoside-2 ''-Phosphotransferase-IIa [APH(2 '')-IIa] Provide Insights into Substrate Selectivity in the APH(2 '') Subfamily SO JOURNAL OF BACTERIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID AMINOGLYCOSIDE-MODIFYING ENZYMES; LEVEL GENTAMICIN RESISTANCE; ANTIBIOTIC-RESISTANCE; PROTEIN-KINASE; PHOSPHORYL TRANSFER; A-SITE; GENE; PHOSPHOTRANSFERASE; INHIBITORS; ACETYLTRANSFERASE AB Aminoglycoside-2 ''-phosphotransferase-IIa [APH(2 '')-IIa] is one of a number of homologous bacterial enzymes responsible for the deactivation of the aminoglycoside family of antibiotics and is thus a major component in bacterial resistance to these compounds. APH(2 '')-IIa produces resistance to several clinically important aminoglycosides (including kanamycin and gentamicin) in both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, most notably in Enterococcus species. We have determined the structures of two complexes of APH(2 '')-IIa, the binary gentamicin complex and a ternary complex containing adenosine-5'-(beta,gamma-methylene) triphosphate (AMPPCP) and streptomycin. This is the first crystal structure of a member of the APH(2 '') family of aminoglycoside phosphotransferases. The structure of the gentamicin-APH(2 '')-IIa complex was solved by multiwavelength anomalous diffraction methods from a single selenomethionine-substituted crystal and was refined to a crystallographic R factor of 0.210 (R(free), 0.271) at a resolution of 2.5 angstrom. The structure of the AMPPCP-streptomycin complex was solved by molecular replacement using the gentamicin-APH(2 '')-IIa complex as the starting model. The enzyme has a two-domain structure with the substrate binding site located in a cleft in the C-terminal domain. Gentamicin binding is facilitated by a number of conserved acidic residues lining the binding cleft, with the A and B rings of the substrate forming the majority of the interactions. The inhibitor streptomycin, although binding in the same pocket as gentamicin, is orientated such that no potential phosphorylation sites are adjacent to the catalytic aspartate residue. The binding of gentamicin and streptomycin provides structural insights into the substrate selectivity of the APH(2 '') subfamily of aminoglycoside phosphotransferases, specifically, the selectivity between the 4,6-disubstituted and the 4,5-disubstituted aminoglycosides.

Robert TI Differential Accumulation of Form I RubisCO in Rhodopseudomonas palustris CGA010 under Photoheterotrophic Growth Conditions with Reduced Carbon Sources SO JOURNAL OF BACTERIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID RIBULOSE 1,5-BISPHOSPHATE CARBOXYLASE; CO2 FIXATION OPERON; 3-PROTEIN 2-COMPONENT SYSTEM; RHODOBACTER-SPHAEROIDES; NUCLEOTIDE-SEQUENCE; DIOXIDE FIXATION; EXPRESSION; OXYGENASE; CAPSULATUS; METABOLISM AB Rhodopseudomonas palustris is unique among characterized nonsulfur purple bacteria because of its capacity for anaerobic photoheterotrophic growth using aromatic acids. Like growth with other reduced electron donors, this growth typically requires the presence of bicarbonate/CO2 or some other added electron acceptor in the growth medium. Proteomic studies indicated that there was specific accumulation of form I ribulose 1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO) subunit proteins (CbbL and CbbS), as well as the CbbX protein, in cells grown on benzoate without added bicarbonate; such cells used the small amounts of dissolved CO2 in the medium to support growth. These proteins were not observed in extracts from cells grown in the presence of high levels (10 mM) of added bicarbonate. To confirm the results of the proteomics studies, it was shown that the total RubisCO activity levels were significantly higher (five-to sevenfold higher) in wild-type (CGA010) cells grown on benzoate with a low level (0.5 mM) of added bicarbonate. Immunoblots indicated that the increase in RubisCO activity levels was due to a specific increase in the amount of form I RubisCO (CbbLS) and not in the amount of form II RubisCO (CbbM), which was constitutively expressed. Deletion of the main transcriptional regulator gene, cbbR, resulted in impaired growth on benzoate-containing low-bicarbonate media, and it was established that form I RubisCO synthesis was absolutely and specifically dependent on CbbR. To understand the regulatory role of the CbbRRS two-component system, strains with nonpolar deletions of the cbbRRS genes were grown on benzoate. Distinct from the results obtained with photoautotrophic growth conditions, the results of studies with various CbbRRS mutant strains indicated that this two-component system did not affect the observed enhanced synthesis of form I RubisCO under benzoate growth conditions. These studies indicate that diverse growth conditions differentially affect the ability of the CbbRRS two-component system to influence cbb transcription.

TI Involvement of a Membrane-Bound Class III Adenylate Cyclase in Regulation of Anaerobic Respiration in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 SO JOURNAL OF BACTERIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID CAMP RECEPTOR PROTEIN; PUTREFACIENS MR-1; ESCHERICHIA-COLI; MYCOBACTERIUM-TUBERCULOSIS; NUCLEOTIDE CYCLASES; STRAIN ANA-3; EXPRESSION; REDUCTION; SEQUENCE; SULFUR AB Unlike other bacteria that use FNR to regulate anaerobic respiration, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 uses the cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) for this purpose. Three putative genes, cyaA, cyaB, and cyaC, predicted to encode class I, class IV, and class III adenylate cyclases, respectively, have been identified in the genome sequence of this bacterium. Functional validation through complementation of an Escherichia coli cya mutant confirmed that these genes encode proteins with adenylate cyclase activities. Chromosomal deletion of either cyaA or cyaB did not affect anaerobic respiration with fumarate, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), or Fe(III), whereas deletion of cyaC caused deficiencies in respiration with DMSO and Fe(III) and, to a lesser extent, with fumarate. A phenotype similar to that of a crp mutant, which lacks the ability to grow anaerobically with DMSO, fumarate, and Fe(III), was obtained when both cyaA and cyaC were deleted. Microarray analysis of gene expression in the crp and cyaC mutants revealed the involvement of both genes in the regulation of key respiratory pathways, such as DMSO, fumarate, and Fe(III) reduction. Additionally, several genes associated with plasmid replication, flagellum biosynthesis, and electron transport were differentially expressed in the cyaC mutant but not in the crp mutant. Our results indicated that CyaC plays a major role in regulating anaerobic respiration and may contribute to additional signaling pathways independent of CRP. C1 [Charania, M. A.; Brockman, K.

TI Diffusion and Monod Kinetics to Determine In Vivo Human Corneal Oxygen-Consumption Rate During Soft Contact-Lens Wear SO JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL MATERIALS RESEARCH PART B-APPLIED BIOMATERIALS LA English DT Article DE soft contact lens; oxygen consumption; oxygen tension; cornea; oxygen permeability; Monod kinetics ID STEADY-STATE DISTRIBUTION; NONINVASIVE MEASUREMENT; ANTERIOR-CHAMBER; CARBON DIOXIDE; OPEN EYE; TENSION; RESPIRATION; RABBIT; HYDROGEL; PHOSPHORYLATION AB The rate of oxygen consumption is an important parameter to assess the physiology of the human cornea. Metabolism of oxygen in the cornea is influenced by contact-lens-induced hypoxia, diseases such as diabetes, surgery, and drug treatment. Therefore, estimation of in vivo corneal oxygen-consumption rate is essential for gauging adequate oxygen supply to the cornea. Phosphorescence quenching of a dye coated on the posterior of a soft contact lens provides a powerful technique to measure tear-film oxygen tension (Harvitt and Bonanno, Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 1996;37:1026-1036; Bonanno et al., Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 2002;43:371-376). Unfortunately, previous work in establishing oxygen-consumption kinetics from transient postlens tear-film oxygen tensions relies on the simplistic assumption of a constant corneal-consumption rate. A more realistic model of corneal metabolism is needed to obtain reliable oxygen-consumption kinetics. Here, physiologically relevant nonlinear Monod kinetics is adopted for describing the local oxygen-consumption rate, thus avoiding aphysical negative oxygen tensions in the cornea. We incorporate Monod kinetics in an unsteady-state reactive-diffusion model for the cornea contact-lens system to determine tear-film oxygen tension as a function of time when changing from closed-eye to open-eye condition. The model was fit to available experimental data of in vivo human postlens tear-film oxygen tension to determine the corneal oxygen-consumption rate. Reliance on corneal oxygen diffusivity and solubility data obtained from rabbits is no longer requisite. Excellent agreement is obtained between the proposed model and experiment. We calculate the spatial-averaged in vivo human maximum corneal oxygen-consumption rate as Q(c)(max) = 1.05 x 10(-4) mL/(cm(3) s). The calculated Monod constant is K(m) = 2.2 mmHg.

Commercial stents are generally made of stainless steel or other alloys. These alloys are too stiff and prevent most stent designs from being able to navigate small and tortuous vessels to reach intracranial lesions. A solid tubular model and a high flexibility laser etched model are presented. The stents were tested for collapse in a pressure chamber. At 37 degrees C, the full collapse pressure was comparable to that of commercially available stents, and higher than the estimated maximum pressure exerted by intracranial arteries. However,there is a potential for onset of collapse, which needs further study. The stents were crimped and expanded, the laser-etched stent showed full recovery with an expansion ratio of 2.7 and a 1% axial shortening. (C) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is commonly used to image the 3D structure of the retina and while the added functionality of biochemical analysis afforded by Raman scattering could provide critical molecular signatures for clinicians and researchers, there are many technical challenges to combine these imaging modalities. We describe an OCT microscope for ex-vivo imaging combined with Raman spectroscopy capable of collecting morphological and molecular information about a sample simultaneously.

TI Modeling of Pu(IV) Extraction from Acidic Nitrate Media by Tri-n-butyl Phosphate SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL AND ENGINEERING DATA LA English DT Article ID ABSORPTION-SPECTRA; AQUEOUS-SOLUTIONS; COMPLEX-FORMATION; PLUTONIUM(IV); HYDROLYSIS; SOLUBILITY; HYDROXIDE; SPECTROSCOPY AB A thermodynamic model of the distribution of Pu(IV) between aqueous solutions of nitric acid and lithium nitrate and 30 % (by volume) TBP in n-dodecane was developed. The mean activity coefficients of the hydrogen ion, nitrate ion, and water were calculated using Bromley's method of activity coefficients. The computation of the distribution ratios is based on a critical evaluation of the speciation of Pu(IV) under the solution conditions used. Five Pu(IV) species, Pu(4+), Pu(OH)(3+), Pu(OH)(2)(2+), Pu(NO(3))(3+), and Pu(NO(3))(2)(2+,) were considered to be present in (0.1 to 4) mol.L(-1) aqueous solutions of HNO(3). Because of the various extraction capabilities of the different oxidation states of Pu, disproportionation of Pu(IV) is the main factor controlling the distribution of Pu at low acidity. Two different Pu(IV) solvate adducts Pu(NO(3))(4)center dot TBP(2) and Pu(NO(3))(4)center dot TBP(2)center dot HNO(3) were considered as extracted species over a wide range of experimental conditions, and their extractions constants were determined. The correlation between experimental and calculated data produced a reasonable fit. To determine the extraction constant of hydrolyzed Pu(IV) species for low acid concentrations, additional experimental data on the kinetics of disproportionation of tetravalent plutonium in two phase systems would be necessary.

The study focuses on the more rapid post-1970 warming period, and its daily minima temperature T-min and maxima temperature T-max values were used to produce average monthly values and spatial distributions of trends for each air basin. Additional analyses included concurrent SSTs, 40-yr European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Re-Analysis (ERA-40) sea level coastal pressure gradients, and GCM-downscaled average temperature T-ave values. Results for all 253 California National Weather Service (NWS) Cooperative Observer Program (COOP) sites together showed increased T-ave values (0.238 degrees C decade(-1)); asymmetric warming, as T-min values increase faster than T-max values (0.27 degrees versus 0.04 degrees C decade(-1)) and thus decreased daily temperature range (DTR) values (0.15 degrees C decade(-1)). The spatial distribution of observed SoCAB and SFBA T-max values exhibited a complex pattern, with cooling (-0.30 degrees C decade(-1)) in low-elevation coastal areas open to marine air penetration and warming (0.32 degrees C decade(-1)) in inland areas. Results also showed that decreased DTR values in the basins arose from small increases at inland sites (0.16 degrees C decade(-1)) combined with large decreases (20.58 degrees C decade(-1)) at coastal sites. It is also possible that some of the current observed temperature trends could be associated with low-frequency decadal variability, expected even with a constant radiative forcing. Previous studies suggest that cooling JJA T-max values in coastal California were a result of increased irrigation, coastal upwelling, or cloud cover. The current hypothesis is that they arise (as a possible "reverse reaction'') from the global warming of inland areas, which results in increased sea-breeze flow activity. GCM model T-ave warming decreased from 0.13 degrees C decade(-1) at inland sites to 0.08 degrees C decade(-1) in coastal areas. Sea level pressure increased in the Pacific high and decreased in the thermal low. The corresponding gradient thus showed a trend of 0.04 hPa 100 km(-1) decade(-1), supportive of the hypothesis of increased sea-breeze activity.

TI Detection and Attribution of Streamflow Timing Changes to Climate Change in the Western United States SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID COLUMBIA RIVER-BASIN; WATER-RESOURCES; TEMPERATURE TRENDS; SNOWMELT RUNOFF; GREENHOUSE-GAS; NORTH-AMERICA; MODEL; HYDROLOGY; SURFACE; PRECIPITATION AB This article applies formal detection and attribution techniques to investigate the nature of observed shifts in the timing of streamflow in the western United States. Previous studies have shown that the snow hydrology of the western United States has changed in the second half of the twentieth century. Such changes manifest themselves in the form of more rain and less snow, in reductions in the snow water contents, and in earlier snowmelt and associated advances in streamflow "center'' timing (the day in the "water-year'' on average when half the water-year flow at a point has passed). However, with one exception over a more limited domain, no other study has attempted to formally attribute these changes to anthropogenic increases of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Using the observations together with a set of global climate model simulations and a hydrologic model (applied to three major hydrological regions of the western United States-the California region, the upper Colorado River basin, and the Columbia River basin), it is found that the observed trends toward earlier "center'' timing of snowmelt-driven streamflows in the western United States since 1950 are detectably different from natural variability (significant at the p < 0.05 level). Furthermore, the nonnatural parts of these changes can be attributed confidently to climate changes induced by anthropogenic greenhouse gases, aerosols, ozone, and land use. The signal from the Columbia dominates the analysis, and it is the only basin that showed a detectable signal when the analysis was performed on individual basins. It should be noted that although climate change is an important signal, other climatic processes have also contributed to the hydrologic variability of large basins in the western United States.

In the Kolsky-bar experiments, dynamic stress equilibrium and constant strain-rate deformation in specimens were achieved using pulse-shaping techniques. The effects of specimen aspect ratio and interfacial friction on the dynamic response of the material were examined. Compressive stress-strain curves for the composite were obtained at strain rates ranging from 9.4 x 10(-4) to 1.35 x 10(3) s(-1) which exhibited strong strain-rate sensitivity. A material response model, which agrees well with the experimental measurements for the strain rates examined in this study, is also described.

TI Convergence behavior of a new DSMC algorithm SO JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE DSMC; Sophisticated DSMC; Algorithm; Convergence; Rarefied gas dynamics ID SIMULATION MONTE-CARLO; PARTICLE SIMULATIONS; ERROR AB The convergence rate of a new direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method, termed "sophisticated DSMC", is investigated for one-dimensional Fourier flow. An argon-like hard-sphere gas at 273.15 K and 266.644 Pa is confined between two parallel, fully accommodating walls I mm apart that have unequal temperatures. The simulations are performed using a one-dimensional implementation of the sophisticated DSMC algorithm. In harmony with previous work, the primary convergence metric studied is the ratio of the DSMC-calculated thermal conductivity to its corresponding infinite-approximation Chapman-Enskog theoretical value. As discretization errors are reduced, the sophisticated DSMC algorithm is shown to approach the theoretical values to high precision. The convergence behavior of sophisticated DSMC is compared to that of original DSMC. The convergence of the new algorithm in a three-dimensional implementation is also characterized. Implementations using transient adaptive sub-cells and virtual sub-cells are compared. The new algorithm is shown to significantly reduce the computational resources required for a DSMC simulation to achieve a particular level of accuracy, thus improving the efficiency of the method by a factor of 2.

An isolated planar layer decorated with Te inclusions was identified in CdMnTe crystals from the second ingot. The internal electric field of a CMT crystal was probed by infrared (IR) imaging employing Pockels electro-optic effect. The effect of an isolated plane of Te inclusions on the internal electric-field distribution within the CdMnTe crystal was studied. Space charge accumulation around the plane of Te inclusions was observed, which was found to be higher when the detector was reverse-biased. The effects of the plane of Te inclusions on the electric-field distribution within the CdMnTe crystal, and the quality of CdMnTe crystals for nuclear detector applications are discussed.

CoSb(3)-based n-type filled skutterudites have good electrical transport properties with power factor values over 40 mu W/cm K(2) at elevated temperatures. Filling multiple fillers into the crystallographic voids of skutterudites would help scatter a broad range of lattice phonons, thus resulting in lower lattice thermal conductivity values. We report the thermoelectric properties of n-type multiple-filled skutterudites between 5 K and 800 K. The combination of different fillers inside the voids of the skutterudite structure shows enhanced phonon scattering, and consequently a strong suppression of the lattice thermal conductivity. Very good power factor values are achieved in multiple-filled skutterudite compared with single-element-filled materials. The dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit for n-type filled skutterudites is improved through multiple-filling in a wide temperature range. C1 [Shi, X.; Salvador, J.

TI Open-Structured Materials: Skutterudites and Clathrates SO JOURNAL OF ELECTRONIC MATERIALS LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 27th International Conference on Thermoelectrics CY AUG 03-07, 2008 CL Univ Oregon, Corvallis, OR SP Int Thermoelect Soc HO Univ Oregon DE Thermoelectric; thermal conductivity; electrical properties ID LATTICE THERMAL-CONDUCTIVITY; SI; FIGURE; MERIT; GE AB There are a large number of inorganic compounds with open-framework structures that entrap atoms or molecules within the lattice. Of these, the skutterudites and type I clathrates have gained the greatest attention from the perspective of thermoelectric applications. The crystal structure of these materials can be considered as being open in the sense that they possess voids whereby interstitially placed atoms are bounded loosely, thereby creating localized disorder in an otherwise well-ordered, covalently bonded lattice. The optimum situation occurs if the intrinsic mobility is relatively high due to the well-ordered, periodic structure of the crystal framework while the phonons are scattered by localized disorder. Substantial experimental and theoretical research has been devoted to these two material systems over the past decade. This effort has shown that the physical properties are directly related to their unique crystal structures, as well as the different compositions that can be synthesized in order to modify these physical properties.

This work explores the systems-related impacts, barriers, and challenges of using micro-technology solutions integrated with advances in nano-scale thermoelectric materials in advanced TE cooling systems. Integrated system-level analyses that simultaneously account for thermal energy transport into and dissipation out of the TE device, environmental effects, temperature- dependent TE and thermo-physical properties, thermal losses, and thermal and electrical contact resistances are presented, to establish accurate optimum system designs using both p-type nanocrystalline-powder-based (NPB) Bi (x) Sb(2-x) Te(3)/n-type Bi(2)Te(3)-Bi(2)Se(3) TE systems and conventional p-type Bi(2)Te(3)-Sb(2)Te(3)/n-type Bi(2)Te(3)-Bi(2)Se(3) TE systems. This work established the design trends and identified optimum design regimes and metrics for these types of systems that will minimize system mass, volume, and cost to maximize their commercialization potential in vehicular and residential applications. The relationships between important design metrics, such as coefficient of performance, specific cooling capacity, and cooling heat flux requirements, upper limits, and critical differences in these metrics in p-type NPB Bi (x) Sb(2-x) Te(3)/ n-type Bi(2)Te(3)-Bi(2)Se(3) TE systems and p-type Bi(2)Te(3)-Sb(2)Te(3)/n-type Bi(2)Te(3)-Bi(2)Se(3) TE systems, are explored and quantified. Finally, the work discusses the critical role that micro-technologies and nano-technologies can play in enabling miniature TE cooling systems in advanced vehicle and residential applications and gives some key relevant examples.

To date, the main gains from the worldwide effort in either engineered bulk materials or low-dimensional systems have been mostly based on the strategies of reducing the thermal conductivity. We explore several bulk thermoelectric materials that have respectable mecha- nical strength and chemical stability at elevated temperatures for potential power generation. Our strategy is to first explore the avenue of significantly increasing the power factor (PF), then the avenue of lowering thermal conductivity, perhaps by nanocompositing. We examine the layered cobaltates with sharp resonant peaks in the electronic density of states near the Fermi energy level due to strong electron correlation. We suggest that electron correlation may be used as a new tuning parameter to significantly increase the PF. We also report that a substantial increase (over 30%) in PF can be achieved in filled skutterudites (such as p-type CeFe4Sb12) through nonequilibrium synthesis by rapid conversion of the amorphous materials made by the melt spinning to single-phase crystalline materials under pressure. This process, in conjunction with the rattling to lower the lattice thermal conductivity, could further enhance the ZT values of the filled skutterudites.

The device studied was a cylindrical InGaAs microrefrigerator, in which the active layer was a 1 mu m thick In(0.527)Al(0.218)Ga(0.255)As heterostructure barrier with n-type doping concentration of 6.68 x 10(16) cm(-3) and an In(0.53)Ga(0.47)As emitter/collector of 5 x 10(18) cm(-3) n-doping. A full field thermoreflectance imaging technique was used to measure the distribution of temperature change on the device's top surface when different current excitation values were applied. By reversing the current direction, we studied the device's behavior in both cooling and heating regimes. At an ambient temperature of 100 K, a maximum cooling of 0.6 K was measured. This value was approximately one-third of the measured maximum cooling value at room temperature (1.8 K). The paper describes the device's structure and the first reported thermal imaging at cryogenic temperatures using the thermoreflectance technique.

TAGS is an acronym for alloys of GeTe with AgSbTe(2), and compositions are normally designated as TAGS-x, where x is the fraction of GeTe. TAGS-85 is the most important with regard to applications, and there is also commercial interest in TAGS-80. The crystal structure of GeTe(1+delta) has a composition-dependent phase transformation at a temperature ranging from 430A degrees C (delta = 0) to similar to 400A degrees C (delta = 0.02). The high-temperature form is cubic. The low-temperature form is rhombohedral for delta < 0.01, as is the case for good thermoelectric performance. Addition of AgSbTe(2) shifts the phase transformation to lower temperatures, and one of the goals of this work is a systematic study of the dependence of transformation temperature on the parameter x. We present results on phase transformations and associated instabilities in TAGS compositions in the range of 70 at.% to 85 at.% GeTe. C1 [Thompson, A. J.; Sharp, J.

Here, we characterized TH regulation of mRNAs encoding thyrotropin subunits and thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) in an adult teleost fish model, the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas). Breeding pairs of adult minnows were fed diets containing 3,5, 3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (T-3) or the goitrogen methimazole for 10 days. In males and females, dietary intake of exogenous T-3 elevated circulating total T-3, while methimazole depressed plasma levels of total thyroxine (T-4). In both sexes, this methimazole-induced reduction in T-4 led to elevated mRNA abundance for thyrotropin beta-subunit (tsh beta) in the pituitary gland. Fish treated with T-3 had elevated transcript levels for TR isoforms alpha and beta (tr alpha and tr beta) in the liver and brain, but reduced levels of brain mRNA for the immediate-early gene basic transcription factor-binding protein (bteb). In the ovary and testis, exogenous T-3 elevated gene transcripts for tsh beta, glycoprotein hormone alpha-subunit (gph alpha), and tr beta, while not affecting tr alpha levels. Taken together, these results demonstrate negative feedback of T-4 on pituitary tsh beta, identify tr alpha and tr beta as T-3-autoinduced genes in the brain and liver, and provide new evidence that tsh beta, gph alpha, and tr beta are THs regulated in the gonad of teleosts. Adult teleost models are increasingly used to evaluate the endocrine-disrupting effects of chemical contaminants, and our results provide a systemic assessment of TH-responsive genes during that life stage.

TI System Analysis of Nuclear-Assisted Syngas Production From Coal SO JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING FOR GAS TURBINES AND POWER-TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASME LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 4th International Topical Meeting on High Temperature Reactor Technology CY SEP 28-OCT 01, 2008 CL Washington, DC DE coal; fission reactors; hydrogen economy AB A system analysis has been performed to assess the efficiency and carbon utilization of a nuclear-assisted coal gasification process. The nuclear reactor is a high-temperature helium-cooled reactor that is used primarily to provide power for hydrogen production via high-temperature electrolysis. The supplemental hydrogen is mixed with the outlet stream from an oxygen-blown coal gasifier to produce a hydrogen-rich gas mixture, allowing most of the carbon dioxide to be converted into carbon monoxide, with enough excess hydrogen to produce a syngas product stream with a hydrogen/carbon monoxide molar ratio of about 2:1. Oxygen for the gasifier is also provided by the high-temperature electrolysis process. The results of the analysis predict 90.5% carbon utilization with a syngas production efficiency (defined as the ratio of the heating value of the produced syngas to the sum of the heating value of the coal plus the high-temperature reactor heat input) of 64.4% at a gasifier temperature of 1866 K for the high-moisture-content lignite coal considered. Usage of lower moisture coals such as bituminous can yield carbon utilization approaching 100% and 70% syngas production efficiency. C1 [Harvego, E. A.; McKellar, M. G.; O'Brien, J.

Such differences can yield changes in the temperature, pressure, and corrosive species that are experienced by critical components in the hot gas path, with important implications for the design, operation, and reliability of the turbine. A new data structure and computational methodology is presented for the numerical simulation of a turbine thermodynamic cycle, with emphasis on the hot gas path components. The approach used allows efficient handling of turbine components and variable constraints due to fuel changes. Examples are presented for a turbine with four stages, in which the vanes and blades are cooled in an open circuit using air from the appropriate compressor stages. For an imposed maximum metal temperature, values were calculated for the fuel, air, and coolant flow rates and through-wall temperature gradients for cases where the turbine was fired with NG or SG. A NG case conducted to assess the effect of coolant pressure matching between the compressor extraction points and corresponding turbine injection points indicated that this is a feature that must be considered for high combustion temperatures. The first series of SG simulations was conducted using the same inlet mass flow and pressure ratios as those for the NG case. The results showed that higher coolant flow rates and a larger number of cooled turbine rows were needed for the SG case to comply with the imposed temperature constraints. Thus, for that case, the turbine size would be different for SG than for NG. A second series of simulations examined scenarios for maintaining the original turbine configuration (i.e., geometry, diameters, blade heights, angles, and cooling circuit characteristics) used for the SG simulations. In these, the inlet mass flow was varied while keeping constant the pressure ratios and the amount of hot gas passing the first vane of the turbine. The effects of turbine matching between the NG and SG cases were increases-for the SG case of approximately 7% and 13% for total cooling flows and cooling flows for the first-stage vane, respectively. In particular, for the SG case, the vanes in the last stage of the turbine experienced inner wall temperatures that approached the maximum allowable limit.

To provide a unique biaxial stress state, a 60 mm diameter 10 mm thick disk of 316L stainless steel was plastically compressed through the thickness with an opposing 15 mm diameter hard steel indenters in the center of the disk. For validation, the stresses in the specimen were first mapped using time-of-flight neutron diffraction and Rietveld full pattern analysis. Next, the hoop stresses were mapped on a cross section of two disks using the contour method. The contour results were very repeatable and agreed well with the neutron results. The indentation process was modeled using the finite element method. Because of a significant Bauschinger effect, accurate modeling required testing the cyclic behavior of the steel and then modeling it using a Chaboche-type combined hardening law. The model results agreed very well with the measurements. The duplicate contour measurements demonstrated stress repeatability better than 0.01% of the elastic modulus and allowed discussion of implications of measurements of parts with complicated geometries.

However, longer term acclimation responses to elevated CO2 were subsequently discovered to be very important in determining plant and ecosystem function. Free-Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) experiments are the culmination of efforts to assess the impact of elevated CO2 on plants over multiple seasons and, in the case of crops, over their entire lifetime. FACE has been used to expose vegetation to elevated concentrations of atmospheric CO2 under completely open-air conditions for nearly two decades. This review describes some of the lessons learned from the long-term investment in these experiments. First, elevated CO2 stimulates photosynthetic carbon gain and net primary production over the long term despite down-regulation of Rubisco activity. Second, elevated CO2 improves nitrogen use efficiency and, third, decreases water use at both the leaf and canopy scale. Fourth, elevated CO2 stimulates dark respiration via a transcriptional reprogramming of metabolism. Fifth, elevated CO2 does not directly stimulate C-4 photosynthesis, but can indirectly stimulate carbon gain in times and places of drought. Finally, the stimulation of yield by elevated CO2 in crop species is much smaller than expected. While many of these lessons have been most clearly demonstrated in crop systems, all of the lessons have important implications for natural systems.

The situation is unclear for membrane-anchored proteins such as SNAREs, which are anchored to the membrane by their TMD at the C-terminus. For example, in plants, Sec22 and SYP31 (a yeast Sed5 homologue) have a 17 aa TMD but different locations (ER/Golgi and Golgi), indicating that TMD length alone is not sufficient to explain their targeting. To establish the identity of factors that influence SNARE targeting, mutagenesis and live cell imaging experiments were performed on SYP31. It was found that deletion of the entire N-terminus domain of SYP31 blocked the protein in the ER. Several deletion mutants of different parts of this N-terminus domain indicated that a region between the SNARE helices Hb and Hc is required for Golgi targeting. In this region, replacement of the aa sequence MELAD by GAGAG or MALAG retained the protein in the ER, suggesting that MELAD may function as a di-acidic ER export motif EXXD. This suggestion was further verified by replacing the established di-acidic ER export motif DLE of a type II Golgi protein AtCASP and a membrane-anchored type I chimaera, TMcCCASP, by MELAD or GAGAG. The MELAD motif allowed the proteins to reach the Golgi, whereas the motif GAGAG was found to be insufficient to facilitate ER protein export. Our analyses indicate that we have identified a novel and transplantable di-acidic motif that facilitates ER export of SYP31 and may function for type I and type II proteins in plants.

We verify the no-force condition for each of the primitive constituents in the probe approximation. Our computations are for a seed solution with (D0) over bar - D4 charges and equal B-fields, but symmetries extend the result to any U-dual frame. We make the constituent model for the D0 - D6 system explicit, and also discuss a duality frame where the constituents are D3 branes at angles. We demonstrate stability of the constituent model in the weak coupling description of the constituent D-branes. We discuss the relation between the BPS and non-BPS branches of configuration space.

A key role is played by the dynamics of the scalar fields in the dual gauge theory. This leads to a proposal for a dual description of D-branes falling through the horizon of any AdS black hole. The proposal uses a field-dependent time reparameterization in the field theory. We relate this reparametrization to various gauge invariances of the theory.

Such low mass scales can arise when hidden sectors are more weakly coupled to supersymmetry breaking than the visible sector, as happens when supersymmetry breaking is communicated to the visible sector by gauge interactions under which the hidden sector is uncharged, or if the hidden sector is sequestered from gravity-mediated supersymmetry breaking. We study these mechanisms in detail in the context of gauge and gaugino mediation, and present specific models of Abelian GeV-scale hidden sectors. In particular, we discuss kinetic mixing of a U(1)(x) gauge force with hypercharge, singlets or bi-fundamentals which couple to both sectors, and additional loop effects. Finally, we investigate the possible relevance of such sectors for dark matter phenomenology, as well as for low- and high-energy collider searches.

In the former, we find a new and exotic mechanism of confinement, induced by topological excitations that we refer to as magnetic quintets. The supersymmetric version was examined earlier in the context of dynamical supersymmetry breaking by Intriligator, Seiberg, and Shenker, who showed that if this gauge theory confines at the origin of moduli space, one may break supersymmetry by adding a tree level superpotential. We examine the dynamics by deforming the theory on S-1 x R-3, and show that the infrared behavior of this theory is an interacting CFT at small S-1. We argue that this continues to hold at large S-1, and if so, that supersymmetry must remain unbroken. Our methods also provide the microscopic origin of various superpotentials in SQCD on S-1 x R-3 - which were previously obtained by using symmetry and holomorphy - and resolve a long standing interpretational puzzle concerning a flux operator discovered by Affleck, Harvey, and Witten. It is generated by a topological excitation, a "magnetic bion", whose stability is due to fermion pair exchange between its constituents. We also briefly comment on composite monopole operators as leading effects in two dimensional anti-ferromagnets. C1 [Poppitz, Erich] Univ Toronto, Dept Phys, Toronto, ON M5S 1A7, Canada.

A. Kaiser, David I. Kaur, Jasleen TI Scientific discovery and topological transitions in collaboration networks SO JOURNAL OF INFORMETRICS LA English DT Article DE Scientific discovery; Collaboration networks; Phase transitions; Models of science evolution ID WORD ANALYSIS; SCIENCE; SPREAD; GROWTH; IDEAS AB We analyze the advent and development of eight scientific fields from their inception to maturity and map the evolution of their networks of collaboration over time, measured in terms of co-authorship of scientific papers. We show that as a field develops it undergoes a topological transition in its collaboration structure between a small disconnected graph to a much larger network where a giant connected component of collaboration appears. As a result, the number of edges and nodes in the largest component undergoes a transition between a small fraction of the total to a majority of all occurrences. These results relate to many qualitative observations of the evolution of technology and discussions of the "structure of scientific revolutions". We analyze this qualitative change in network topology in terms of several quantitative graph theoretical measures, such as density, diameter, and relative size of the network's largest component. To analyze examples of scientific discovery we built databases of scientific publications based on keyword and citation searches, for eight fields, spanning experimental and theoretical science, across areas as diverse as physics, biomedical sciences, and materials science. Each of the databases was vetted by field experts and is the result of a bibliometric search constructed to maximize coverage, while minimizing the occurrence of spurious records. In this way we built databases of publications and authors for superstring theory, cosmic strings and other topological defects, cosmological inflation, carbon nanotubes, quantum computing and computation, prions and scrapie, and H5N1 influenza. We also built a database for a classical example of "pathological" science, namely cold fusion. All these fields also vary in size and in their temporal patterns of development, with some showing explosive growth from an original identifiable discovery (e.g. carbon nanotubes) while others are characterized by a slow process of development (e.g. quantum computers and computation). We show that regardless of the detailed nature of their developmental paths, the process of scientific discovery and the rearrangement of the collaboration structure of emergent fields is characterized by a number of universal features, suggesting that the process of discovery and initial formation of a scientific field, characterized by the moments of discovery, invention and subsequent transition into "normal science" may be understood in general terms, as a process of cognitive and social unification out of many initially separate efforts. Pathological fields, seemingly, never undergo this transition, despite hundreds of publications and the involvement of many authors. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI Alignment of the CMS silicon strip tracker during stand-alone commissioning SO JOURNAL OF INSTRUMENTATION LA English DT Article DE Particle tracking detectors (Solid-state detectors); Particle tracking detectors; Pattern recognition, cluster finding, calibration and fitting methods; Analysis and statistical methods AB The results of the CMS tracker alignment analysis are presented using the data from cosmic tracks, optical survey information, and the laser alignment system at the Tracker Integration Facility at CERN. During several months of operation in the spring and summer of 2007, about five million cosmic track events were collected with a partially active CMS Tracker. This allowed us to perform first alignment of the active silicon modules with the cosmic tracks using three different statistical approaches; validate the survey and laser alignment system performance; and test the stability of Tracker structures under various stresses and temperatures ranging from +15 degrees C to -15 degrees C. Comparison with simulation shows that the achieved alignment precision in the barrel part of the tracker leads to residual distributions similar to those obtained with a random misalignment of 50 (80) mu m RMS in the outer (inner) part of the barrel.

TI Accelerator design concept for future neutrino facilities SO JOURNAL OF INSTRUMENTATION LA English DT Article DE Targets (spallation source targets radioisotope production, neutrino and muon sources); Accelerator modelling and simulations (multi-particle dynamics; single-particle dynamics); Acceleration cavities and magnets superconducting (high-temperature superconductor; radiation hardened magnets; normal-conducting; permanent magnet devices; wigglers and undulators) ID BETA-BEAM; ELECTRON MODEL; FFAG AB This document summarizes the work of the Accelerator Working Group (AWG) of the International Scoping Study (ISS) of a Future Neutrino Factory and Superbeam Facility. The main goal of the activity was to reach consensus on a baseline design for a Neutrino Factory complex, including proton driver parameters, choice of target, front-end design, acceleration system design, and decay ring geometry. Another goal was to explore the commonality, if any, between the proton driver for a Neutrino Factory and those for a Superbeam or Beta Beam facility. In general, the requirements for either of the latter facilities are less stringent than those for a Neutrino Factory. Here, we discuss concepts, parameters, and expected performance of the required subsystems for our chosen baseline design of a Neutrino Factory. We also give an indication of the main R&D tasks-many of which are already under way-that must be carried out to finalize facility design approaches. C1 [Zisman, M.

TI The radiation tolerance of specific optical fibres exposed to 650 kGy(Si) of ionizing radiation SO JOURNAL OF INSTRUMENTATION LA English DT Article DE Optical detector readout concepts; Radiation calculations ID SELF-TRAPPED HOLES; DEPENDENCE; ABSORPTION; FIELD AB The LHC upgrade will extensively increase the area of silicon detectors used in the ATLAS experiment and require substantial changes to the readout system of both the ATLAS and CMS experiments. The two experiments are expected to use optical systems for part of the data and control paths which must withstand levels of radiation equivalent to a dose of approximately 400 kGy(Si) at 30 cm from the collision region ( including a safety factor of 1.5). As part of the search for acceptably radiation hard optical fibres, four Graded Index multimode ( GRIN) optical fibres and one single-mode (SM) fibre were tested to 650 kGy( Si) equivalent dose. One of the GRIN fibres was also tested at 5 different dose rates, in order to understand the dose rate effects. These tests have validated the radiation tolerance of a single-mode fibre and two multimode fibres for use at the SLHC for warm operation. Some interesting features of the time dependence of the fibre radiation damage and future plans are discussed. C1 [Dunn, K.; Issever, C.; Huffman, B. T.; Jones, M.; Povey, A.; Weidberg, A.

TI Optical detection of NMR J-spectra at zero magnetic field SO JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE LA English DT Article DE Atomic magnetometers; Zero-field NMR; Microfluidics; Scalar coupling ID ATOMIC MAGNETOMETER; RESONANCE; CELLS AB Scalar couplings of the form JI(1) . I(2) between nuclei impart valuable information about molecular structure to nuclear magnetic-resonance spectra. Here we demonstrate direct detection of J-spectra due to both heteronuclear and homonuclear J-coupling in a zero-field environment where the Zeeman interaction is completely absent. We show that characteristic functional groups exhibit distinct spectra with straightforward interpretation for chemical identification. Detection is performed with a microfabricated optical atomic magnetometer, providing high sensitivity to samples of microliter volumes. We obtain 0.1 Hz linewidths and measure scalar-coupling parameters with 4-mHz statistical uncertainty. We anticipate that the technique described here will provide a new modality for high-precision" J spectroscopy" using small samples oil microchip devices for multiplexed Screening, assaying, and sample identification in chemistry and biomedicine.

The Yb ions in this compound are fully trivalent, and heat capacity measurements show that the crystal field scheme involves a doublet ground state, well separated from the excited states, which are fully occupied above similar to 150 K. The heat capacity displays a large, weakly first order anomaly at 2.4 K, where a cusp is observed in the magnetic susceptibility signalling the onset of antiferromagnetic order. The entropy associated with this order is the full Rln2 of the doublet ground state, however, the magnetic susceptibility in the ordered phase is dominated by a large and temperature independent component below the Neel temperature. The heat capacity in the ordered state originates with ferromagnetic spin waves, giving evidence for the inherently local moment character of the ordered state. The electrical resistivity is unusually large, and becomes quadratic in temperature exactly at the Neel temperature. The absence of analogous Fermi liquid behavior in the heat capacity and the magnetic susceptibility implies that Yb3Pt4 is a low electron density system, where the Fermi surface is further gapped by the onset of magnetic order.

The enhanced spatial resolution of the aberration corrector leads to the observation of a number Of Structural variations ill the edge dislocations along the grain boundary that neither resemble the standard edge dislocations nor partial dislocations for SrTiO(3). Although there appear to be many variants in the structure that can be interpreted as compositional effects, three main classes of core structure are found to be prominent. From EELS analysis, these classifications seem to be related to Sr deficiencies, with the final variety of the cores being consistent with an embedded TiO(x) rocksalt-like structure.

Contrary to expectations, annealing of the GaSb fibers at just 50% of their melting temperature resulted in complete chemical decomposition of the nanofibers into core-shell structures consisting of crystalline Sb cores surrounded by amorphous shells. In this study, we investigate the transition of the single-phase nanofibers to their core-shell configuration, and we analyze the unique, temperature-dependent phase decomposition process. Thermodynamic considerations are discussed, and a model is presented to explain the thermally induced decomposition of the GaSb semiconductor fibers into core-shell structures, based upon the singular interaction of several size-dependent material properties.

T., III TI On the shock compression of polycrystalline metals SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE LA English DT Review ID DYNAMIC IMPACT RESPONSE; FOREIGN-OBJECT DAMAGE; DISLOCATION CELL-SIZE; HIGH-STRAIN RATES; TI-6AL-4V PLATES; MANGANIN GAUGES; LATERAL STRESS; ELEVATED-TEMPERATURES; SHEAR-STRENGTH; PULSE DURATION AB At the present time, materials are being considered for use in increasingly extreme environments; extreme in terms of both the magnitude of the imposed pressures and stresses they encounter and the speed of the loading applied. Recent advances in understanding the continuum behaviour of condensed matter have been made using novel loading and ultrafast diagnostics. This insight has indicated that in the condensed phase, the response is driven by the defect population existing within the microstructure which drives plastic flow in compression as well as damage evolution and failure processes. This article discusses shock compression results, focusing upon research conducted on cubic-structured metals but also giving an overview of results on hexagonal-close-packed (HCP) metals and alloys. In the past, shock physics has treated materials as homogeneous continua and has represented the compressive behaviour of solids using an adaptation of solid mechanics. It is clear that the next generation of constitutive models must treat physical mechanisms operating at the micro- and mesoscale to adequately describe metals for applications under extreme environments. Derivation of such models requires idealized modes of loading which limits the range of hydrostatic or impact driven experimental techniques available to four principle groups. These are laser-induced plasma loading, Z pinch devices, compressed gas and powder-driven launchers and energetic drives and diamond anvil cells (DACs). Whilst each technique or device discussed brings unique advantages and core competencies, it will be shown that launchers are most capable of covering the spectrum of important and relevant mechanisms since only they can simultaneously access the material microstructural 'bulk' dimensions and timescales that control behaviour observed at the continuum. Shock experiments on a selection of metals whose response is regarded as typical are reviewed in this article, and sensors and techniques are described that allow the interpretation of the compression that results from idealized step loading on a target. Real-time imaging or X-ray techniques cannot at present access bulk states at the correct microstructural resolution, over a macroscopic volume or at rates that would reveal mechanisms occurring. It is controlled recovery experiments that provide the link between the microstructure and the continuum state that facilitates understanding of the effect of mesoscale properties upon state variables. Five metals are tracked through various shock-loading techniques which show the following characteristic deformation features; a low Peierls stress and easy slip allow FCC materials to develop dislocation cells and work-harden during the shock process, whereas the higher resistance to dislocation motion in BCC-structured materials and the lower symmetry in HCP metals slows the development of the microstructure and favours deformation twinning as an additional deformation mechanism to accommodate shock compression. Thus not only energy thresholds, but also operating kinetics, must be understood to classify the response of metals and alloys to extreme loading environments. Typical engineering materials possess a baseline microstructure but also a population of defects within their volumes. It is the understanding of these statistical physical relationships and their effects upon deformation mechanisms and defect storage processes that will drive the development of materials for use under extreme conditions in the future.

Our analysis, which is based on HRTEM observations and atomistic calculations, shows that this boundary consists of a dense array of 60A degrees 1/2aOE (c) 110 > crystal lattice dislocations that are distributed one to every two {111} planes. These dislocations dissociate into paired Shockley partial dislocations, creating a stacking fault on every other plane and thereby producing the aEuro broken vertical bar ababaEuro broken vertical bar, or HCP, stacking sequence. This distribution of dislocations is consistent both with the measured intergranular misorientation and with the calculated rigid-body translation along the tilt axis. By establishing the interfacial dislocation arrangement, we also show how the HCP layer at the 29A degrees boundary observed here is geometrically related to that found previously at the 80.6A degrees I A pound = 43 aOE (c) 110 > boundary. This result helps to link dislocation-based descriptions for boundary structures between the high- and low-angle misorientation regimes. C1 [Medlin, D. L.; Hamilton, J.

One quad of the NIF beams, four beam pairs, will be utilized for these experiments and hydrodynamic and particle-in-cell simulations indicate that for the fast ignition experiments, these beams will be required to deliver 50% (4.0 kJ) of their total energy (7.96 kJ) within a 40-mu m-diam spot at the end of a fast ignition cone target. This requirement implies a stringent pointing and overall phase conjugation error budget on the adaptive optics system used to correct these beam lines. The overall encircled energy requirement is more readily met by phasing of the beams in pairs but still requires high Strehl ratios and root-mean-square tip/tilt errors of approximately 1 mu rad. To accomplish this task we have designed an interferometric adaptive optics system capable of beam pointing, high Strehl ratio, and beam phasing with a single pixilated microelectromechanical systems deformable mirror and interferometric wavefront sensor. We present the design of a testbed used to evaluate the performance of this wavefront sensor along with simulations of its expected performance level.

Imaging by this modality greatly increases the lifetimes of fluorescence probes, including those commonly used for protein localization studies, while retaining the ability to image the specimen with high fidelity and spatial resolution. The novel use of a cryogenic immersion fluid also minimizes the refractive index mismatch between the sample and lens, leading to a more efficient coupling of the light from the sample to the image forming system. This enhancement is applicable to both fluorescence and transmitted light microscopy techniques. The design concepts used for the cryogenic microscope can be applied to virtually any existing light-based microscopy technique. This prospect is particularly exciting in the context of 'super-resolution' techniques, where enhanced fluorescence lifetime probes are especially useful. Thus, using this new modality it is now possible to observe dynamic events in a live cell, and then rapidly vitrify the specimen at a specific time point prior to carrying out high-resolution imaging. The techniques described can be used in conjunction with other imaging modalities in correlated studies. We have also developed instrumentation to perform cryo-light imaging together with soft X-ray tomography on the same cryo-fixed specimen as a means of carrying out high content, quantifiable correlated imaging analyses. These methods are equally applicable to correlated light and electron microscopy of frozen biological objects. C1 [McDermott, G.; Uchida, M.; Larabell, C.

The electrostatic potential around the DNA fragments containing either the intact guanine-cytosine pair or 8-oxoguanine-cytosine or the guanine-abasic site was projected on a cylindrical surface around the double helix. The 2D maps of EP of intact and damaged DNA fragments were compared using image analysis methods. Occurrence of abasic site and 8-oxoguanine lesions were found to be reflected in the EP maps. In the case of the 8-oxoguanine lesion, the two phosphate groups and countercations of the damaged strand are moved away from the lesion in opposite directions, whereas they are moved in the same direction in the case of the abasic site lesion. The characteristic features of 8-oxoguanine lesion might be identified in the major groove, whereas the features of abasic site lesion the minor groove.

This paper examines a subset of phenomena that are important in the development of an analysis capability for fuel performance calculations, focusing on thermomechanics and diffusion within UO2 fuel pellets. In this study, correlations from the literature are used for thermal conductivity, specific heat, and oxygen diffusion. This study develops a three dimensional thermomechanical model fully-coupled to an oxygen diffusion model. Both steady state and transient results are examined to compare this three dimensional model with the literature. Further, this equation system is solved in a parallel, fully-coupled, fully-implicit manner using a preconditioned Jacobian-free Newton Krylov method. Numerical results are presented to explore the efficacy of this approach for examining selected fuel performance problems. INL'S BISON fuels performance code is used to perform this analysis.

TI Deformation twinning and twinning related fracture in coarse-grained alpha-uranium SO JOURNAL OF NUCLEAR MATERIALS LA English DT Article AB An investigation of deformation twinning in coarse-grained a-uranium was conducted within the heat-affected zone of weld specimens tested in tension. Twins and twin interactions were studied both at fracture surfaces and sub-surface, using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The fracture surface plane was identified using TEM of foils cut from the fracture surface using a focused ion beam. Intersecting twins found in these foils were also analyzed. EBSD was also used to analyze twins and twin interactions at and below the fracture surface. Fracture parallel to (172) twin planes and (172) twin crossings were observed, in agreement with previous optical/Laue diffraction studies. Previously unobserved crossings of (172) twins by (112) twins were also frequently observed. These twin interactions are interpreted in terms of previously established crystallographic criteria for twin crossings. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 [Field, R. D.; McCabe, R.

TI A multigrain Delaunay mesh generation method for multicore SMT-based architectures SO JOURNAL OF PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING LA English DT Article DE Parallel; Mesh Generation; Delaunay; Multigrain; Multicore; SMT ID REFINEMENT; PROCESSOR; ALGORITHM AB Given the proliferation of layered, multicore- and SMT-based architectures, it is imperative to deploy and evaluate important, multi-level, scientific computing codes, such as meshing algorithms, on these systems. We focus on Parallel Constrained Delaunay Mesh (PCDM) generation. We exploit coarse-grain parallelism at the subdomain level, medium-grain at the cavity level and fine-grain at the element level. This multi-grain data parallel approach targets clusters built from commercially available SMTs and multicore processors. The exploitation of the coarser degree of granularity facilitates scalability both in terms of execution time and problem size on loosely-coupled clusters. The exploitation of medium-grain parallelism allows performance improvement at the single node level. Our experimental evaluation shows that the first generation of SMT cores is not capable of taking advantage of fine-grain parallelism in PCDM. Many of our experimental findings with PCDM extend to other adaptive and irregular multigrain parallel algorithms as well. Published by Elsevier Inc.

We first present the step-by-step effect of a series of optimizations on performance. These optimizations improve the performance of PCDM by up to a factor of six. They target issues that very often limit the performance of scientific computing codes. We then evaluate the interaction of PCDM with a real SMT-based SMP system, using both high-level metrics, such as execution time, and low-level information from hardware performance counters.

TI Geomechanical response of permafrost-associated hydrate deposits to depressurization-induced gas production SO JOURNAL OF PETROLEUM SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING LA English DT Article DE gas hydrates; permafrost deposits; depressurization; hydrate dissociation; geomechanics AB In this simulation study, we analyzed the geomechanical response during depressurization production from two known hydrate-bearing permafrost deposits: the Mallik (Northwest Territories, Canada) deposit and Mount Elbert (Alaska, USA) deposit. Gas was produced from these deposits at constant pressure using horizontal wells placed at the top of a hydrate layer (HL), located at a depth of about 900 m at the Mallik site and 600 m at the Mount Elbert site. The simulation results show that general thermodynamic and geomechanical responses are similar for the two sites, but with substantially higher production and more intensive geomechanical responses at the deeper Mallik deposit. The depressurization-induced dissociation begins at the well bore and then spreads laterally, mainly along the top of the HL The depressurization results in an increased shear stress within the body of the receding hydrate and causes a vertical compaction of the reservoir. However, its effects are partially mitigated by the relatively stiff permafrost overburden, and compaction of the HL is limited to less than 0.4%. The increased shear stress may lead to shear failure in the hydrate-free zone bounded by the HL overburden and the downward-receding upper dissociation interface. This zone undergoes complete hydrate dissociation, and the cohesive strength of the sediment is low. We determined that the likelihood of shear failure depends on the initial stress state as well as on the geomechanical properties of the reservoir. The Poisson's ratio of the hydrate-bearing formation is a particularly important parameter that determines whether the evolution of the reservoir stresses will increase or decrease the likelihood of shear failure.

In the lower temperature region (<70 degrees C), annealing in air results in a minimal change of superlattice structure, whereas annealing in vacuum leads to a considerable lattice contraction and a decrease in long-range order. At higher temperatures (>100 degrees C), ligand desorption causes nanocrystals to sinter locally, destroying quasi-long-range order. The sintering process is significantly enhanced in vacuum compared to the case in air due to the increased desorption rate of thiol ligands under low pressure.

They occur in supersymmetric models of Dirac gauginos as the scalar partners of the gluino and carry Standard-Model-type R charge. This allows them to interact with ordinary matter and to be produced at the LHC, singly as well as in pairs. Sgluons dominantly decay into gluons, top pairs and a top quark plus a light quark. A pair of sgluons decaying into like-sign tops would provide a striking signature at the LHC. In our discussion of this channel we especially focus on the proper treatment of QCD jets.

TI Characterization of Multicomponent Polymer Trilayers with Resonant Soft X-Ray Reflectivity SO JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE PART B-POLYMER PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE interfaces; organic devices; resonance reflectivity; thin films; X-ray reflectivity ID LIGHT-EMITTING-DIODES; NEUTRON REFLECTIVITY; THIN-FILMS; SCATTERING; ENERGY; TRANSMISSION; INTERFACES; COPOLYMER; SPECTRA AB Resonant soft X-ray reflectivity (RSoXR) has been used to quantify the layer thicknesses and the interfacial widths of a single, complex thin film with three polymeric layers supported on an inorganic substrate. By adjusting the photon energy, the sensitivity to particular interfaces within the trilayer can be selectively enhanced. The results significantly improve and broaden the capabilities of RSoXR, which has previously only been demonstrated and used for bilayers on silicon substrates. The capability of RSoXR to characterize polymer trilayers was not readily predictable from prior bilayer results, as the RSoXR characterization of bilayers benefits from a strong X-ray reflection from the substrate that serves as a reference beam with which the reflections from the other interfaces interfere with. The impact of having the capability to investigate trilayers is exemplified by discussing the utility of RSoXR to characterize organic electronic light emitting multilayers.

TI Creation of Onset Voltage Hash by Anode Spots in a Magnetoplasmadynamic Thruster SO JOURNAL OF PROPULSION AND POWER LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 44th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit CY JUL 20-23, 2008 CL Hartford, CT SP AIAA, ASME, SAE, ASEE ID MPD THRUSTER; PERFORMANCE; LIMITATIONS AB Experimental results are presented which quantify the evolution with rising J(2)/(m) over dot (ratio of current squared to mass flow rate) of onset voltage fluctuations in a magnetoplasmadynamic thruster operating with three anode materials, and an anode spot model is presented which provides a physical explanation for the properties of these fluctuations. Voltage signals taken in the magnetoplasmadynamic thruster operating below and above onset with anodes of copper, graphite, and lead are analyzed using the statistical measures of probability density and power spectrum. A model of voltage hash as the random superposition of many anode spotting events is used to generate voltage fluctuations with statistics similar to the observed data. The experimental fluctuation statistics evolve with rising J(2)/(m) over dot first away from Gaussian, and then back toward Gaussian, with the values of skewness and kurtosis peaking at J(2)/(m) over dot similar to 110 kA(2).s/g; this behavior is the same for all three anode materials. Nonstationarity in the statistics is shown using high-speed video to be a result of unsteady anode evaporation. The statistics of modeled voltage hash are shown to be functions of the product of the frequency of anode spotting events and their duration, with the statistics becoming more Gaussian as this product grows. Comparison of experimental and model results suggests that, above J(2)/(m) over dot - 110 kA(2).s/g, anode current conduction fragments into an increasing number of anode spots.

Enrichments of affinity-tagged (or "bait") proteins with interaction partners generally include background, nonspecific protein artifacts. Furthermore, in vivo bait expression may introduce additional artifacts arising from altered physiology or metabolism. In this study, we compared these effects for chromosome and plasmid encoding strategies for bait proteins in two microbes: Escherichia coli and Rhodopseudomonas palustris. Differential metabolic labeling of strains expressing bait protein relative to the wild-type strain in each species allowed comparison by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS). At the local level of the protein complex, authentic interacting proteins of RNA polymerase (RNAP) were successfully discerned from artifactual proteins by the isotopic differentiation of interactions as random or targeted (I-DIRT, Tackett, A. J.; et al. J. Proteome Res. 2005, 4, 1752-1756). To investigate global effects of bait protein production, we compared proteomes from strains harboring a plasmid encoding an affinity-tagged subunit (RpoA) of RNAP with the corresponding wild-type strains. The RpoA abundance ratios of 0.8 for R. palustris and 1.7 for E. coli in plasmid strains versus wild-type indicated only slightly altered expression. While most other proteins also showed no appreciable difference in abundance, several that did show altered levels were involved in amino acid metabolism. Measurements at both local and global levels proved useful for evaluating in vitro and in vivo artifacts of plasmidencoding strategies for bait protein expression. C1 [Hervey, W.

The proteomics community is starting to implement analogous policies and infrastructure for making large-scale proteomics data widely available on a precompetitive basis. On August 14, 2008, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) convened the "International Summit on Proteomics Data Release and Sharing Policy" in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, to identify and address potential roadblocks to rapid and open access to data. The six principles agreed upon by key stakeholders at the summit addressed issues surrounding (1) timing, (2) comprehensiveness, (3) format, (4) deposition to repositories, (5) quality metrics, and (6) responsibility for proteomics data release. This summit report explores various approaches to develop a framework of data release and sharing principles that will most effectively fulfill the needs of the funding agencies and the research community.

The enrichment method is based on covalent capture of azide-containing peptides by the azide-reactive cyclooctyne (ARCO) resin and is demonstrated for two different applications. Enrichment of peptides derived from cytochrome c treated with the azide-containing cross-linker bis(succinimidyl)-3-azidomethyl glutarate (BAMG) shows several cross-link containing peptides. Sequestration of peptides derived from an Escherichia coli proteome, pulse labeled with the bio-orthogonal amino acid azidohomoalanine as substitute for methionine, allows identification of numerous newly synthesized proteins. Furthermore, the method is found to be very specific, as after enrichment over 87% of all peptides contain (modified) azidohomoalanine.

Using samples baked at different temperatures, and therefore cross-linked to varying degrees, characteristic Raman bands are identified for the open 'cage' structure (345 cm(-1), 454 cm(-1) and 562 cm(-1)) as well as the cross-linked 'network' structure (484 cm(-1)). Cross-linking can also be induced by absorption of high intensity near-infrared (IR) laser light (similar to 10(13) W cm(-2)) and followed in real time by monitoring the characteristic Raman bands. Using the time resolution of CARS to follow the HSQ reaction during the laser exposure, a two-stage kinetic process is observed and associated time constants of 20 +/- 10 s and 3 +/- 1 min are determined for the IR laser-induced cross-linking in films of similar to 1 mu m thickness.

TI Assessment of historic trend in mobility and energy use in India transportation sector using bottom-up approach SO JOURNAL OF RENEWABLE AND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY LA English DT Article AB Transportation mobility in India has increased significantly in the past decades. From 1970 to 2000, motorized mobility (passenger-kilometer) has risen by 888%, compared to an 88% population growth (S. K. Singh,India: Implications For Energy Demand and CO2 Emission (Transport Policy, 2006)). This has contributed to many energy and environmental issues, and an energy strategy that incorporates efficiency improvement and other measures needs to be designed. Unfortunately, existing energy data do not provide information on driving forces behind energy use and sometimes show large inconsistencies. Many previous studies address only a single transportation mode such as passenger road travel, did not include comprehensive data collection or lack analysis or detail on energy demand by each mode and fuel mix. The current study will fill a considerable gap in current efforts, develop a database on all transport modes including passenger air and water and freight in order to facilitate the development of energy scenarios, and assess the significance of technology potential in a global climate change model. An extensive literature review and data collection has been done to establish the database with a breakdown of mobility, intensity, distance, and fuel mix of all transportation modes. Energy consumption was estimated and compared to aggregated transport consumption reported in IEA India transportation energy data. Different scenarios were estimated based on different assumptions of freight road mobility. Based on the bottom-up analysis, we estimated that the energy consumption from 1990 to 2000 increased at an annual growth rate of 7% for the midrange road freight growth case and 12% for the high range road freight growth case corresponding to the scenarios in mobility, while the IEA data only show a 1.7% growth rate in those years.

TI Structural and compositional investigations of Zr4Pt2O: A filled-cubic Ti2Ni-type phase SO JOURNAL OF SOLID STATE CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article DE Crystal structure; Stuffed Ti2Ni structure; Zr5Pt3Ox; Zr-Pt-O system; Stoichiometry ID OXYGEN; ZONE AB Syntheses, structural and compositional analyses of the filled cubic Ti2Ni-type phase in Zr-Pt-O system have been studied, largely for the platinum-richer compositions. Diffraction quality Crystals were grown by annealing an arc-melted composition Zr4Pt2O0.66 at 1600 degrees C under Ar. The refined composition Zr4.0Pt1.95(1)O0.93(6) (a = 12.5063(6) angstrom, Fd (3) over barm, Z = 16) is close to the idealized composition Zr4Pt2O known in several other Zr-T-O systems (T = late 4d or 5d transition element). (This composition has been erroneously reported by ICDD for years as Zr6Pt3O (No. 00-017-0557) and referred to as epsilon-Zr6Pt3O.) The product is only marginally poor in platinum and oxygen, in contrast to the 1960 reports of metallographic studies (similar to Zr4Pt1.62O0.44). Under arc-melting conditions, high yields of the cubic phase are obtained from samples with lower platinum concentrations (Zr4Pt1.74O1.04), whereas samples near the refined cubic composition contain hexagonal Zr(5)pt(3)O(x) as well (Mn5Si3-type). The hexagonal structure of binary Zr5Pt3 was also refined (Mn5Si3 type, P6(3)/mcm, a = 8.210(1) angstrom, c = 5.385(2) angstrom) and shown to be non-stoichiometric to at least Zr5Pt2.5.

YFe2D4.2 crystal in a fully ordered, monoclinic structure (s.g. Pc, Z = 8, a = 5.50663(4), b = 11.4823(1), c = 9.42919(6) angstrom, beta = 122.3314(5)degrees, V = 503.765(3) A degrees at 290 K) containing 4 yttrium, 8 iron and IS deuterium atoms. Most D-D distances are, within the precision of the diffraction experiment, longer than 2.1 A: the shortest ones are of 1.96 angstrom. Seven of eight iron atoms are coordinated by deuterium in a trigonal bipyramid, similar to that in TiFeD1.95-2. The eighth iron atom is coordinated by deuterium in a tetrahedral configuration. The coordination Of iron by deuterium, and the iron-deuterium distances point to the importance of the directional bonding between it-on and deuterium atoms. The lowering of crystal symmetry due to deuterium Ordering occurs at much higher temperature than the magnetic ordering, and is therefore one of the parameters that are at the origin of the magnetic transition at lower temperatures.

The two main techniques are X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and high-resolution X-ray diffraction (XRD). Examples are given for in situ XAS and XRD studies of lithium-ion battery cathodes during cycling. This includes time-resolved methods. The paper also discusses the application of soft X-ray XAS to do ex situ studies on battery cathodes. By applying two signal detection methods, it is possible to probe the surface and the bulk of cathode materials simultaneously. Another example is the use of time-resolved XRD studies of the decomposition of reactions of charged cathodes at elevated temperatures. Measurements were done both in the dry state and in the presence of electrolyte. Brief reports are also given on two new synchrotron techniques. One is inelastic X-ray scattering, and the other is synchrotron X-ray reflectometry studies of the surface electrode interface (SEI) on highly oriented single crystal lithium battery cathode surfaces.

Moreover, we describe a new ultra-sensitive, flow-through electrical-conductance apparatus designed to bridge the gap between the currently lowest steam-density conditions at which we are able experimentally to attain electrical conductance measurements and the theoretically reachable zero-density limit. Finally, we highlight important modeling challenges encountered near the zero-density limit and discuss ways to overcome them.

The solubilities of these phases were measured using flow-through apparatus from 50 to 350 A degrees C in 100 A degrees C intervals over a wide range of pH. Both solid phases dissolve incongruently, presumably to form ZnO(s) and Fe(2)O(3)(s) (or the corresponding hydroxide phases at low temperature), respectively. The respective concentrations of zinc(II) and iron(III) matched those of ZnO(cr) and Fe(2)O(3)(s) (a parts per thousand yen150 A degrees C) reported in the literature, whereas the corresponding Si(IV) and Zn(II) concentrations were at least an order of magnitude below the solubility limits for their pure oxide phases. Therefore, the solubility constants for zinc silicate and ferrite were determined with respect to the known solubility constants for ZnO(cr) and Fe(2)O(3)(s) (a parts per thousand yen150 A degrees C), respectively, and the corresponding concentrations of Si(IV) and Zn(II) measured in this study. The results of independent experiments, as well as those reported in the literature provide insights into the mechanism(s) of formation of zinc silicate and ferrite in the primary circuits of nuclear reactors.

A typical increase in surface charge was observed with increasing temperature. There was no correlation between the radius of the cations, Li(+), Na(+), K(+) and (CH(3))(4)N(+), and the magnitude of their association with the surface. The combined results were treated with a 1-pK(a) MUSIC model, which yielded association constants for the cations (and chloride ion at low pH) at each temperature. The pH of zero-point-charge, pH(zpc), decreased with increasing temperature as found for other metal oxides, reaching an apparent minimum value of 4.1 by 250 A degrees C. Batch experiments were performed to monitor the concentration of LiOH in solutions containing suspended ZrO(2) particles from 200 to 360 A degrees C. At 350 and 360 A degrees C, Li(+) and OH(-) ions were almost totally adsorbed when the pressure was lowered to near saturation vapor pressure. This reversible trend has implications not only to pressure-water reactor, PWR, operations, but is also of general scientific and other applied interest. Additional experiments probed the feasibility that boric acid/borate ions adsorb reversibly onto ZrO(2) surfaces at near-neutral pH conditions as indicated in earlier publications. C1 [Palmer, D.

The current study was undertaken in order to determine accurately the dissociation constants of the relevant amines at Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) operating conditions and to investigate the effect of sorption of two of these amines (morpholine and dimethylamine) by magnetite. The acid-dissociation equilibria of morpholine (MOR), dimethylamine (DMA) and ethanolamine (ETA) were measured potentiometrically with a hydrogen-electrode concentration cell (HECC) from 0 to 290 A degrees C in sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate (NaTr) solutions at ionic strengths up to 1 mola <...kg(-1). Magnetite surface titrations were performed at an ionic strength of 0.03 mola <...kg(-1) (NaTr medium) in the presence or absence of morpholine and dimethylamine buffers over a wide range of pH and total amine concentrations at 150-250 A degrees C.

Moreover, the computer systems used to solve these problems are becoming significantly more complex than the familiar, well-understood sequential model on their desktops. While it is possible to re-train scientists to use emerging high-performance computing (HPC) models, it is much more effective to provide them with a higher-level programming environment that has been specialized to their particular domain. By fostering interaction between HPC specialists and the domain scientists, problem-solving environments (PSEs) provide a collaborative environment. A PSE environment allows scientists to focus on expressing their computational problem while the PSE and associated tools Support mapping that domain-specific problem to a high-performance computing system. This article describes Arches, an object-oriented framework for building domain-specific PSEs. The framework was designed to Support a wide range of problem domains and to be extensible to support very different high-performance computing targets. To demonstrate this flexibility, two PSEs have been developed from the Arches framework to solve problem in two different domains and target very different computing platforms. The Coven PSE supports parallel applications that require large-scale parallelism found in cost-effective Beowulf clusters. In contrast, RCADE targets FPGA-based reconfigurable computing and was originally designed to aid NASA Earth scientists studying satellite instrument data. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Yu, Xiao-Ying Cary, Robert Laulainen, Nels Berkowitz, Carl TI Characterization of the Sunset Semi-Continuous Carbon Aerosol Analyzer SO JOURNAL OF THE AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION LA English DT Article ID THERMAL-OPTICAL METHOD; ELEMENTAL CARBON; ORGANIC-CARBON; REGRESSION; PARTICLES; ARTIFACTS AB The field-deployable Sunset Semi-Continuous Organic Carbon/Elemental Carbon (Sunset OCEC) aerosol analyzer utilizes the modified National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health thermal-optical method to determine total carbon (TC), organic carbon (OC),. and elemental carbon (EC) at near real-time. Two sets of OC and EC are available: thermal OC and EC, and optical OC and EC. The former is obtained by the thermal-optical approach, and the latter is obtained by directly determining EC optically and deriving optical OC from TC. However, the performance of the Sunset OCEC is not yet fully characterized. Two collocated Sunset OCEC analyzers, Unit A and Unit B, were used to determine the pooled relative standard deviation (RSD) and limit of detection (LOD) between September 18 and November 6, 2007 in Richland, WA. The LOD of Unit A was approximately 0.2 mu gC/m(3) (0.1 mu gC/cm(2)) for TC, optical OC, and thermal OC, and 0.01 mu gC/m(3) (0.01 mu gC/cm(2)) for optical EC. Similarly, Unit B had an LOD of approximately 0.3 mu gC/m(3) (0.2 mu gC/cm(2)) for TC, optical OC, and thermal OC, and 0.02 mu gC/m(3) (0.01 mu gC/cm(2)) for optical EC. The LOD for thermal EC is estimated to be 0.2 [mu gC/m(3) (0.1 mu gC/cm(2)) for both units. The pooled RSDs were 4.9% for TC (carbon mass loadings 0.6-6.0 mu gC/cm(2)), 5.6% for optical OC (carbon mass loadings 0.6-5.4 mu gC/cm(2)), 5.3% for thermal OC (carbon mass loadings 0.6-5.3 mu gC/cm(2)), and 9.6% for optical EC (carbon mass loadings 0-1.4 mu gC/cm(2)), which indicates good precision between the instruments. The RSD for thermal EC is higher at 24.3% (carbon mass loadings 0-1.2 mu gC/cm(2)). Low EC mass loadings in Richland contributed to the poor RSD of EC. The authors found that excessive noise from the non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) laser in the Sunset OCEC analyzer could result in a worsened determination of OC and EC. It is recommended. that a "quieter" NDIR laser and detector be used in the Sunset OCEC analyzer to improve quantification. Future work should re-evaluate the precision of the EC parameters in an environment favorable for EC collection. Investigation among quantification differences using various thermal-optical protocols to determine OC and EC is also in need.

In this study, four different sintering models are evaluated relative to one another and the experimental data, revealing their attributes, deficiencies, and modifications/improvements in order to facilitate their application, including the following: (i) a microstructure-based model for solid state sintering, mainly developed by Riedel and Svoboda (RS); (ii) a viscous sintering (SOVS) model developed by Skorohod and advanced by Olevsky; (iii) a Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) model provided by Tikare; and (iv) the master sintering curve (MSC) approach introduced by Johnson et al. For different reasons, all four models have deficiencies that preclude achieving the most challenging goal of being able to comprehensively understand and predict sintering behavior: (i) the RS and the KMC models are complicated and difficult to use; (ii) the SOVS model cannot predict microstructure evolution; and (iii) the KMC model and the MSC have no stresses in their mathematical description, so they cannot simulate the effects of external forces. Each model also has attributes: (i) the KMC model allows one to follow the evolution of mesostructure; (ii) the MSC concept and the RS model are suitable for predicting densification curves for a wide variety of temperature-time profiles; and (iii) the SOVS and the RS models, which are implemented into finite element codes, can be used to predict density gradients and the warping of complex shape parts. Individually and together, the MSC, KMC, SOVS, and RS models can be useful tools to advance the fundamental understanding and improve the control of sintering.

An implementation (and variations) of this sintering model based on a finite element (FE) formulation that allows three dimensional (3D) components to be modeled using Sandia National Laboratories' nonlinear large-deformation FE code, JAS3D, is presented. This tool provides a capability to model sintering of complex 3D components. Recent modifications to the model dictated that the suite of verification and validations problems, developed for the model, be exercised anew on the modified version. The verification, performance, and validation of the model within JAS3D is described and discussed herein. Modifications and improvements to the original implementation of the model are then also summarized and reviewed as the model's evolution is tracked to its current form.

TI An Experimental Measurement of Effective Diffusion Distance for the Sintering of Ceramics SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID MICROSTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT; GRAIN-GROWTH; DENSIFICATION; ALUMINA; INTERMEDIATE; EVOLUTION; PATHWAYS; CREEP AB The traditional models of sintering predict a pronounced dependence of densification rate on the scale of the microstructure as measured by the grain size. This study evaluates the grain size exponent for densification during isothermal sintering of an aggregated nanocrystalline zirconia powder, and for a submicrometer alumina powder. The results gave grain size exponents that are much higher than those anticipated for the expected sintering mechanisms. Furthermore, microstructural analysis showed that this overestimate of the exponent could be due to the spatial heterogeneity in the microstructure on the scale of the diffusion distance. To assess this issue, pore boundary tessellation was used to determine a new measurement of effective diffusion distance that takes into account the local spatial arrangement of pores. This measurement gives exponents much closer to those expected for the sintering of tetragonal zirconia by volume diffusion, and for the sintering of the alumina by grain-boundary diffusion.

These parameters provide unique tools to manipulate the architecture of freeze-cast materials at multiple length scales in a single processing step. However, we are still far from developing predictive models to describe the growth of ice crystals in concentrated particle slurries. In order to exert reliable control over the microstructural formation of freeze-cast materials, it is necessary to reach a deeper understanding of the basic relationships between the experimental conditions and the microstructure of the growing solid. In this work, we explore the role of several processing variables (e.g., composition of the suspension, freezing rate, and patterning of the freezing surface) that could affect the formulation strategies for the architectural manipulation of freeze-cast materials. We also demonstrate, using freeze-cast lamellar structures, that reducing the lamellar thickness by less than half increases the compressive strength by more than one order of magnitude.

The nature of this native oxide shell, in combination with the underlying Fe(0) core, determines the physical and chemical behavior of the core-shell nanoparticle. One of the challenges of characterizing core-shell nanoparticles is determining the structure of the oxide shell, that is, whether it is FeO, Fe(3)O(4), gamma-Fe(2)O(3), alpha-Fe(2)O(3), or something else. The results of prior characterization efforts, which have mostly used X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy, electron diffraction, and transmission electron microscopic imaging, have been framed in terms of one of the known Fe-oxide structures, although it is not necessarily true that the thin layer of Fe oxide is a known Fe oxide. In this Article, we probe the structure of the oxide shell on Fe nanoparticles using electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) at the oxygen (O) K-edge with a spatial resolution of several nanometers (i.e., less than that of an individual particle). We studied two types of representative particles: small particles that are fully oxidized (no Fe(0) core) and larger core-shell particles that possess an Fe core. We found that O K-edge spectra collected for the oxide shell in nanoparticles show distinct differences from those of known Fe oxides. Typically, the prepeak of the spectra collected on both the core-shell and the fully oxidized particles is weaker than that collected on standard Fe(3)O(4). Given the fact that the origin of this prepeak corresponds to the transition of the O 1s electron to the unoccupied state of O 2p hybridized with Fe 3d, a weak pre-edge peak indicates a combination of the following four factors: a higher degree of occupancy of the Fe 3d orbital; a longer Fe-O bond length; a decreased covalency of the Fe-O bond; and a measure of cation vacancies. These results suggest that the coordination configuration in the oxide shell on Fe nanoparticles is defective as compared to that of their bulk counterparts. Implications of these defective structural characteristics on the properties of core-shell structured iron nanoparticles are discussed.

These experiments reveal an initial high friction transient behavior that does not reoccur even after extended periods of exposure to low partial pressures of H(2)O and O(2). Experiments varying both water vapor pressure and sample temperature show trends of a decreasing friction coefficient as a function of both the decreasing water vapor pressure and the increasing substrate temperature. Theses trends are examined with regard to first order gas-surface interactions. Model fits give activation energies on the order of 40 kJ/mol, which is consistent with water vapor desorption.

Most other deposition techniques with low adatom energy produce amorphous or small crystal-grain films. Typically, high substrate temperatures and annealing steps are required to form the large, highly connected grains. The CED (TM) technique deposits from plasma consisting of a nonequilibrium, high energy (50-150 eV) ion population produced from the ionized source material. At the substrate these fast ions break up columnar structures, intermix with the first few atomic layers of the substrate to improve adhesion, and form dense films at lower substrate temperatures than are typical for low adatom energy techniques, such as physical vapor deposition (PVD). Nanoscale features of the thin films were examined using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The films' cryogenic state electrical properties were characterized by their residual resistivity ratio (RRR) and superconducting transition temperature (T(c)). RRR of similar to 77 and T(c)similar to 9.2 K were measured on a Nb thin film deposited on a sapphire substrate. EBSD and x-ray diffraction measurements indicated that the sapphire substrate thin films have single crystal structure, with a Nb {110} crystal plane monolithically aligned and parallel to the sample surface. Nb thin films on an similar to 400 degrees C Cu substrate had average crystal grain size of 50 mu m, which is an order of magnitude larger than that which is typical of films grown by PVD. The crystal structure of CED (TM) thin films is comparable to that of polycrystalline bulk Nb material, which is the state of the art for superconducting radio frequency (SRF) particle accelerators such as at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab). The films' novel crystal features suggest that CED (TM) is a promising technique to coat Nb thin films for lower cost SRF particle accelerators. Further studies of the nanoscale grain boundary features would shed light on the role played by these features in determining the performance of SRF cavities using such thin films on Cu.

TI Structural and magnetic properties of epitaxial Fe25Pt75 SO JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY A LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 55th International Symposium of the American-Vacuum-Society CY OCT 19-24, 2008 CL Boston, MA SP Amer Vacuum Soc DE antiferromagnetic materials; Curie temperature; epitaxial growth; ferromagnetic materials; iron alloys; magnetic epitaxial layers; magnetic hysteresis; magnetic structure; metallic epitaxial layers; paramagnetic materials; platinum alloys; reflectivity ID EXCHANGE BIAS; ALLOYS AB Epitaxial films of Fe25Pt75 have a number of different magnetic phases as a function of temperature and chemical order. For example, chemically ordered epitaxial films have two distinct antiferromagnetic phases at temperatures below similar to 160 K and exhibit paramagnetism above that temperature. In sharp contrast, chemically disordered epitaxial films are ferromagnetic with a Curie temperature that is greater than 400 K. It is demonstrated that by varying the substrate temperature during growth, epitaxial films with varying degrees of chemical order can be produced and it is possible to produce an alloy with the same composition throughout the film with a modified magnetic structure. The authors used polarized neutron reflectivity to gauge the magnetism of a Fe25Pt75 sample produced with a periodic variation in the growth temperature and showed that the sample exhibits a reduced Curie temperature of approximately 300 K as compared to bulk Fe25Pt75.

The cleaning of EUV reflector to remove the contamination particles has two requirements: to prevent corrosion and etching of the reflector surface and to maintain the reflectivity functionality of the reflector after the corrosive cleaning processes. Two main approaches for EUV reflector cleaning, wet chemical treatments [sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide mixture (SPM), ozonated water, and ozonated hydrogen peroxide] and dry cleaning (oxygen plasma and UV/ozone treatment), were tested. The changes in surface morphology and roughness were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, while the surface etching and change of oxidation states were probed with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Significant surface oxidation of the Ru capping layer was observed after oxygen plasma and UV/ozone treatment, while the oxidation is unnoticeable after SPM treatment. Based on these surface studies, the authors found that SPM treatment exhibits the minimal corrosive interactions with Ru capping layer. They address the molecular mechanism of corrosive gas and liquid-phase chemical interaction with the surface of Ru capping layer on the EUV reflector.

The BiFeO3 films show a near band edge emission at 2.7 eV and defect emissions at energies varying from 2.0 to 2.5 eV. The overall results clearly suggest that the electronic structure, especially the defect states and their spatial distributions, of BiFeO3 films are strongly dependent on the growth conditions and method, stoichiometry, and strain, so that understanding and controlling them are crucial to optimize BiFeO3 film properties.

TI Diffraction studies of submonolayer Sr structures on the Si (001) surface SO JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY B LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 36th Conference of Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces CY JAN 11-15, 2009 CL Santa Barbara, CA SP AVS, Army Res Off, Off Naval Res ID X-RAY-DIFFRACTION; INTERFACE; ADSORPTION; SILICON; SI(100); PHASE; OXIDES; STM AB Using electron and synchrotron x-ray diffraction, the authors investigate the reconstructions induced on the Si (001) surface by the presence of a submonolayer of Sr atoms. These Sr surface phases on Si (001) are the first steps in the synthesis of crystalline oxide on silicon heterostructures. Through the use of in situ reflection high energy electron diffraction, the authors observe 2 x 1 --> 2 x 3 --> 1 x 2 transitions in the surface symmetry as 1/2 monolayer Sr is deposited at 650 degrees C. Anomalous synchrotron x-ray diffraction studies of the 2 x 3 structure are consistent with a model where each Sr atom replaces two silicon dimers, resulting in a change in the surface Si stoichiometry. X-ray diffraction from the surface formed when the Sr deposition occurs at room temperature shows a different dependence on x-ray energy and is consistent with a surface phase consisting of Sr adsorbed onto a stoichiometric Si surface.

The selective epitaxy is realized by a combination of a patterned Si(3)N(4) mask, which defines the position and diameter of the nanowires, and appropriate growth conditions, which lead to a near one-dimensional growth along the c-direction. They find that the electrical transport in nominally undoped nanowires is dominated by space charge limited conduction, and using a new theory for space charge limited conduction, they extract an electron mobility of similar to 400 cm(2)/V s and a free carrier concentration of similar to 10(15)-10(16) cm(-3). By controlling the nanowire doping, they observe Ohmic transport for n-doped nanowires and rectifying characteristics for pn-junction nanowires. C1 [Talin, A.

SOFIA is a surround optical fiber immunoassay which is comprised of a set of specific monoclonal antibodies and comprehensive capture of high energy fluorescence emission. In its current format, this system is capable of detecting less than 10 attogram (ag) of hamster, sheep and deer recombinant PrP. Approximately 10 ag of PrP(Sc) from 263 K-infected hamster brains can be detected with similar lower limits of PrP(Sc) detection from the brains of scrapie-infected sheep and deer infected with chronic wasting disease. These detection limits allow protease treated and untreated material to be diluted beyond the point where PrP(C), non-specific proteins or other extraneous material may interfere with PrP(Sc) signal detection and/or specificity. This not only eliminates the issue of specificity of PrP(Sc) detection but also increases sensitivity since the possibility of partial PrP(Sc) proteolysis is no longer a concern. SOFIA will likely lead to early antemortem detection of transmissible encephalopathies and is also amenable for use with additional target amplification protocols. SOFIA represents a sensitive means for detecting specific proteins involved in disease pathogenesis and/or diagnosis that extends beyond the scope of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.

TI Modeling Subgenomic Hepatitis C Virus RNA Kinetics during Treatment with Alpha Interferon SO JOURNAL OF VIROLOGY LA English DT Article ID PROTEASE INHIBITOR; HCV RNA; VIRAL DYNAMICS; PLUS RIBAVIRIN; REPLICON CELLS; CHIMERIC MICE; IN-VIVO; REPLICATION; INFECTION; MECHANISM AB Although replicons have been used to demonstrate hepatitis C virus (HCV) inhibition by alpha interferon (IFN-alpha), the detailed inhibition kinetics required to mathematically model HCV RNA decline have been lacking. Therefore, we measured genotype 1b subgenomic replicon (sg1b) RNA levels under various IFN-alpha concentrations to assess the inhibition kinetics of intracellular HCV RNA. During nine days of IFN-alpha treatment, sg1b RNA decreased in a biphasic, dose-dependent manner. Using frequent measurements to dissect these phases during IFN-alpha treatments of 100 and 250 U/ml revealed that the first-phase sg1b RNA decline began similar to 12 h posttreatment, continued for 2 to 4 days, and then exhibited a distinct flat or slower second phase. Based on these data, we developed a mathematical model of IFN-alpha-induced intracellular sg1b RNA decline, and we show that the mechanism(s) mediating IFN-alpha inhibition of HCV acts primarily by reducing sg1b RNA amplification, with an additional effect on HCV RNA stability/degradation detectable at a dose of 250 U/ml IFN-alpha. While the extremely slow or flat second phase of viral RNA inhibition observed in vitro, in which there is little or no cell death, supports the in vivo modeling prediction that the more profound second-phase decline observed in IFN-alpha-treated patients reflects immune-mediated death/loss of productively infected cells, the second-phase decline in viral RNA with a dose of 250 U/ml IFN-alpha suggests that a further inhibition of intracellular HCV RNA levels may contribute as well. As such, dissection of HCV IFN-alpha inhibition kinetics in vitro has brought us closer to understanding the mechanism(s) by which IFN-alpha may be inhibiting HCV in vivo.

SO JOURNAL OF WILDLIFE DISEASES LA English DT Article DE Biopsy; histopathology; Graptemys; map turtle; microbiology; shell disease ID ELECTRON MICROSCOPY; DESERT TORTOISES; NECROPSY SURVEY; HISTOPATHOLOGY; CHELONIANS; CALIFORNIA; GEORGIA; LAKE AB Nineteen map turtles (Graptemys Spp.) maintained under natural conditions were investigated because of chronic shell abnormalities. Animals were evaluated using a novel shell scoring system that divided the 54 scutes into six regions, with each region scored for lesion extent and severity, and summated to produce a total shell disease score (TSDS), Complete blood counts and various, biochemistry analytes (total protein, albumin, globulin, urea, uric acid, 25-hydroxycholecalciferol, phosphorus, and ionized and total calcium) were measured. under ketamine-medetomidine-morphine anesthesia, cytology tape strips and full thickness shell biopsies were collected aseptically for microbiologic, histologic (including scoring of biopsy quality), and ultrastructural evaluations. The TSDSs were low mid ranged from 4 to 22 (median=9) out of a possible score of 54. There were no correlations between TSDS and any hematologic or biochemistry parameter. The histologic quality of shelf biopsies was good, and normal shell structure, by both light and electron microscopy, is described. Small clefts and pitting lesions were noted ill 8/19 sections. There was no evidence of erosion, ulceration, inflammation, or infections agents, but algae and diatoms were observed. Six biopsies yielded aerobic isolates (Chryscobacterium indologenes, Aeromonas hydrophila, Ralstonia pickettii, and Morganella morganii), whereas 11 shell samples grew various clostridial anerobes. No fungal organisms were cultured.

Four main approaches are highlighted: multi-junction cells, intermediate-band cells, hot carrier cells and spectrum conversion. Multi-junction cells use multiple solar cells that selectively absorb different regions of the solar spectrum. Intermediate-band cells use one junction with multiple bandgaps to increase efficiencies. Hot-carrier cells convert the excess energy of above- bandgap photons into electrical energy. Spectrum conversion solar cells convert the incoming polychromatic sunlight into a narrower distribution of photons suited to the bandgap of the solar cell.

Among echinoids, the cidaroids depart from this pattern, and the shaft of the spine lacks an epidermis. Thus, the spines lack antifouling protection, allowing ectosymbionts such as bryozoans and foraminiferans to attach. This raises a question about the adaptive role of the cortical layer of the stereom. This study examined the micro- and mesostructure of the spines of 11 cidaroid species collected in the Weddell Sea and Drake Passage, and the nature of their ectosymbiont attachments. Scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the cortex surface and X-ray micro computed tomography (mu CT) to describe the symbiont attachments. Spine microstructure features provide a useful taxonomic character for distinguishing among three species in the genus Ctenocidaris, and challenge a previous parasitic interpretation of cortical filaments on the spines of Rhynchocidaris triplopora. Ectosymbiont attachments were classified as Anchoring, Molding, Cementing, or Corroding. The study suggests that some microstructure features may be protective, keeping the ectosymbionts away from the cortex and loosely attached at intervals along the shaft of the spine, while other micro-structures facilitate attachment over considerable areas of the shaft.

As an alternative to conventional sonography that uses hand-held transducers, toroidal array probes that encircle the breast immersed in a water bath have been investigated for ultrasound tomography. In this paper, two sets of experiments performed with a prototype ultrasound scanner on a phantom and a human breast in vivo are used to investigate the effects of diffraction and coherence in ultrasound tomography. Reconstructions obtained with transmission diffraction tomography (TDT) are compared with conventional reflection imaging and computerized ultrasound tomography showing a substantial improvement. The in vivo tests demonstrate that TDT can image the complex boundary of a cancer mass and suggest that it can reveal the anatomy of milk ducts and Cooper's ligaments.

While earlier laboratory studies of stardust mainly focused on grain types that can be extracted from bulk meteorites by acid dissolution techniques, Such as silicon carbide and graphite, recent analyses of presolar silicates rely on isotope imaging searches for locating these grains in situ. Since presolar silicates are generally less than a micrometer in diameter and represent at best only a few hundred ppm of their host materials (e.g., primitive meteorites or interplanetary dust particles), locating and studying these particles can be analytically challenging. Recently, we began using scanning Auger spectroscopy for the in situ elemental characterization of presolar silicate grains as a complement to NanoSIMS isotopic studies for obtaining spatially matched compositional data. Auger spectroscopy is a well-established analytical technique for elemental characterizations in the material sciences, but has not been widely used in geological applications. We discuss the application of this technique to sub-micrometer sized silicate grains and address practical issues such as sample preparation, measurement settings, spatial resolution, data processing, and elemental quantification.

Compared to (control) planar cells, all three operate at higher speeds, attributed to the enhanced electric field across the tunneling oxide surrounding the channel. The MAHOS cells (Al(2)O(3) blocking layer) outperform the MCHOS cells (SiO(2) blocking layer) and both have large memory window, fast operation speed, good endurance and retention.

TI Applications of focused ion beam for preparation of specimens of ancient ceramic for electron microscopy and synchrotron X-ray studies SO MICRON LA English DT Review DE FIB; TEM; Ancient pottery ID MATERIALS SCIENCE; LUSTER POTTERY; TEM; FIB; PIGMENTS AB In this paper the capabilities of FIB systems as a tool for TEM studies of ancient pottery are explored, especially when the amount of available material is very limited and when, for instance, there is stringent demand for very accurate location of the electron-tran spa rent area as is the case for investigation of outer surface layers, such as slips and patinas. The advantages of the two main FIB milling techniques (H-bar and Lift-out) are discussed in detail and illustrated through the study of metallic lustre decorations and a particular type of Roman Terra Sigillata coating. The H-bar technique is ideal for investigations where the features of interest are near the edges of a ceramic fragment. A significantly large area of surface decoration can be studied without any restriction on the size and the shape of fragment. On the other hand, the Lift-out technique is very powerful for extracting TEM membranes far from the edges. An added advantage of this technique is that the thickness of the foil is very uniform and that allows large tilts and makes it possible to obtain electron diffraction patterns of several zones axes from the same crystal, making crystallographic phase identification easier and precise, and identification of complex structures possible. We also show that the FIB system can be used to deposit very precise registration marks, allowing an experimenter to correlate results from TEM measurements with other complementary techniques, such as synchrotron based microdiffraction and mu XANES. Combination of these complementary techniques is becoming a very powerful approach to probe the chemical and morphological microstructure of heterogeneous and complex material from the nanometre to millimetre scale.

This synthesis utilizes the SiCl(4) induced cyclotrimerization of 2,6-diacetylpyridine to make a dendritic polymer, built Of alternating benzene and pyridine rings. The cyclotrimerization allows for a high degree of crosslinking to take place at low temperatures stabilizing the mesostructure and allowing the carbonization to be carried out at only 600 degrees C, the lowest temperature reported to date for an N-doped mesoporous carbon. The functional mesoporous carbon so formed was found to have a surface area of 1275 m(2)/g, 35 angstrom pores, and contain 6.8% N. XPS reveals two N-containing species, with the predominant species being pyridine N. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

TI A thermodynamic approach to determine accurate potentials for molecular dynamics simulations: thermoelastic response of aluminum SO MODELLING AND SIMULATION IN MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING LA English DT Article ID TEMPERATURE ELASTIC MODULI; EMBEDDED-ATOM METHOD; INTERATOMIC POTENTIALS; UNIVERSAL EQUATION; CUBIC METALS; SHOCK-WAVES; CONSTANTS; SOLIDS; STATE; PHASE AB An accurate description of the thermoelastic response of solids is central to classical simulations of compression- and deformation-induced condensed matter phenomena. To achieve the correct thermoelastic description in classical simulations, a newapproach is presented for determining interatomic potentials. In this two-step approach, values of atomic volume and the second-and third-order elastic constants measured at room temperature are extrapolated to T = 0K using classical thermo-mechanical relations that are thermodynamically consistent. Next, the interatomic potentials are fitted to these T = 0K pseudo-values. This two-step approach avoids the low-temperature quantum regime, providing consistency with the assumptions of classical simulations and enabling the correct thermoelastic response to be recovered in simulations at room temperature and higher. As an example of our approach, an EAM potential was developed for aluminum, providing significantly better agreement with thermoelastic data compared with previous EAM potentials. The approach presented here is quite general and can be used for other potential types as well, the key restriction being the inapplicability of classical atomistic simulations when quantum effects are important.

We believe this is the first description of the uptake kinetics, sub- and intracellular distribution, and temporal fate of Tb3+ ion in E. coli. We used the luminescence of the terbium-dipicolinic acid chelate to study metal ion transport. The bacteria had a high tolerance for the metal (IC50 = 4 mM Tb3+). Metal ion transport was passive and metabolism independent. The uptake kinetics rapidly reached a maximum within 15 min, followed by a stasis for 60 min, and declining thereafter between 120 and 240 min, resulting in a biphasic curve. During this period, greater than one-third of the metal ion was sequestered within the cell. Our choice of a safe Biosafety Level I E. coli bacteria and the relatively non-toxic Tb3+ metal represents a model system for luminescent investigations of biosorption, for studying bacterial-water interfacial chemistry and for the bioremediation of heavy metals and radionuclides.

TI FastTree: Computing Large Minimum Evolution Trees with Profiles instead of a Distance Matrix SO MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND EVOLUTION LA English DT Article DE minimum evolution; Neighbor-Joining; large phylogenies ID NEIGHBOR-JOINING ALGORITHM; MAXIMUM-LIKELIHOOD; PHYLOGENETIC TREES; DATABASE; ACCURATE; RECONSTRUCTION; PRINCIPLE; FAMILIES AB Gene families are growing rapidly, but standard methods for inferring phylogenies do not scale to alignments with over 10,000 sequences. We present FastTree, a method for constructing large phylogenies and for estimating their reliability. Instead of storing a distance matrix, FastTree stores sequence profiles of internal nodes in the tree. FastTree uses these profiles to implement Neighbor-Joining and uses heuristics to quickly identify candidate joins. FastTree then uses nearest neighbor interchanges to reduce the length of the tree. For an alignment with N sequences, L sites, and a different characters, a distance matrix requires O(N(2)) space and O(N(2)L) time, but FastTree requires just O(NLa + N http://www.w3.org/1999) memory and O(N http://www.w3.org/1999 (N)La) time. To estimate the tree's reliability, FastTree uses local bootstrapping, which gives another 100-fold speedup over a distance matrix. For example, FastTree computed a tree and support values for 158,022 distinct 16S ribosomal RNAs in 17 h and 2.4 GB of memory. Just computing pairwise Jukes-Cantor distances and storing them, without inferring a tree or bootstrapping, would require 17 h and 50 GB of memory. In simulations, FastTree was slightly more accurate than Neighbor-Joining, BIONJ, or FastME; on genuine alignments, FastTree's topologies had higher likelihoods. FastTree is available at http://microbesonline.org/fasttree.

TI The long-chain fatty acid sensor, PsrA, modulates the expression of rpoS and the type III secretion exsCEBA operon in Pseudomonas aeruginosa SO MOLECULAR MICROBIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID GENE-EXPRESSION; CYSTIC-FIBROSIS; TETR FAMILY; TRANSCRIPTIONAL REGULATOR; VIRULENCE DETERMINANTS; NUTRIENT ACQUISITION; EXOENZYME-S; PROTEIN; SYSTEM; PATHOGENESIS AB P>The Pseudomonas aeruginosa PsrA autorepressor has dual roles as a repressor of the fadBA5 beta-oxidation operon and an activator of the stationary-phase sigma factor rpoS and exsCEBA operon of the type III secretion system (TTSS). Previously, we demonstrated that the repression of the fadBA5 operon by PsrA is relieved by long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs). However, the signal affecting the activation of rpoS and exsC via PsrA is unknown. In this study, microarray and gene fusion data suggested that LCFA (e.g. oleate) affected the expression of rpoS and exsC. DNA binding studies confirmed that PsrA binds to the rpoS and exsC promoter regions. This binding was inhibited by LCFA, indicating that LCFA directly affects the activation of these two genes through PsrA. LCFA decreased rpoS and exsC expression, resulting in increased N-(butyryl)-l-homoserine-lactone quorum sensing signal and decreased ExoS/T production respectively. Based on the crystal structure of PsrA, site-directed mutagenesis of amino acid residues, within the hydrophobic channel thought to accommodate LCFA, created two LCFA-non-responsive PsrA mutants. The binding and activation of rpoS and exsC by these PsrA mutants was no longer inhibited by LCFA. These data support a mechanistic model where LCFAs influence PsrA regulation to control LCFA metabolism and some virulence genes in P. aeruginosa.

The e-h exchange interaction may have both a short-range and a long-range component. Calculating numerically the e-h exchange energies from atomistic pseudopotential wave functions, we show here that in direct-gap quantum dots (such as InAs) the e-h exchange interaction is dominated by the long-range component, whereas in indirect-gap quantum dots (such as Si) only the short-range component survives. As a result, the exciton dark/bright splitting scales as 1/R(2) in InAs dots and 1/R(3) in Si dots, where R is the quantum-dot radius.

Micro-ARPES band maps provide evidence for a strong electronic coupling between monolayer graphene and the adjacent metal, which causes the complete disruption of the graphene pi-bands near the Fermi energy, However, the perturbation by the metal decreases rapidly with the addition of further graphene sheets, and already an epitaxial graphene bilayer on Ru recovers the characteristic Dirac cones of isolated monolayer graphene. A graphene trilayer on Ru behaves like free-standing bilayer graphene. Density-functional theory based calculations show that this decoupling is due to the efficient passivation of metal d-states by the interfacial graphene layer. C1 [Sutter, P.; Hybertsen, M.

While the remnant old-growth forests contain diversity that is significant regionally and globally. they most likely represent only it portion of the variety that old forests once sustained. High within-habitat diversity and rarity in the landscape magnify the conservation value of these systems. Old-growth stands of two particular communities-longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) forests and floodplain (bottomland/swamp) forests-have emblematic links to two notable bird species of concern, the Red-cockaded (Picoides borealis) and Ivory-billed (Campephilus principalis) Woodpeckers. In addition to conservation importance, southern old forests have social and economic values that are in danger of further impoverishment if these systems are lost to future generations. Summarizing the findings front it recent workshop, we review old-growth Status and values, identify current threats, and describe potential strategies to promote greater long-term conservation of old forests across the South.

But realizing that potential will require meeting the challenges that have accompanied the rapid development of the underlying technology and the exponential growth of data. New technologies provide unprecedented opportunities but also call for conceptual shifts.

Recent theories have proposed schemes for cloaking devices using transformation optics and conformal mapping(1-4). Metamaterials(5,6), with spatially tailored properties, have provided the necessary medium by enabling precise control over the flow of electromagnetic waves. Using metamaterials, the first microwave cloaking has been achieved(7) but the realization of cloaking at optical frequencies, a key step towards achieving actual invisibility, has remained elusive. Here, we report the first experimental demonstration of optical cloaking. The optical 'carpet' cloak is designed using quasi-conformal mapping to conceal an object that is placed under a curved reflecting surface by imitating the reflection of a flat surface. The cloak consists only of isotropic dielectric materials, which enables broadband and low-loss invisibility at a wavelength range of 1,400-1,800 nm.

TI Experimental onset threshold and magnetic pressure pile-up for 3D reconnection SO NATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID CURRENT SHEET; PLASMA; FLUX; RELAXATION; PHYSICS; POINT AB Magnetic reconnection changes the topology of magnetic field lines to a lower-energy state. This process can liberate stored magnetic field energy and accelerate particles during unsteady, explosive events. This is one of the most important processes in astrophysical, space and laboratory plasmas. The abrupt onset and cessation has been a long-standing puzzle. We show the first three-dimensional (3D) laboratory example of the onset and stagnation of magnetic reconnection between magnetized and parallel current channels (flux ropes) driven by magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) attraction and a 3D plasma-current-driven instability. Antiparallel magnetic field lines carried by these colliding flux ropes annihilate and drive an electric field. The inflow soon exceeds a threshold for the formation of a reconnection current layer. Magnetic flux and pressure pile up just outside this layer, and eventually become large enough to support MHD back-reaction forces that stall the inflow and stagnate the reconnection process.

AB The genus Stenotrophomonas comprises at least eight species. These bacteria are found throughout the environment, particularly in close association with plants. Strains of the most predominant species, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, have an extraordinary range of activities that include beneficial effects for plant growth and health, the breakdown of natural and man-made pollutants that are central to bioremediation and phytoremediation strategies and the production of biomolecules of economic value, as well as detrimental effects, such as multidrug resistance, in human pathogenic strains. Here, we discuss the versatility of the bacteria in the genus Stenotrophomonas and the insight that comparative genomic analysis of clinical and endophytic isolates of S. maltophilia has brought to our understanding of the adaptation of this genus to various niches.

Brr2 contains two helicase-like domains, each of which is followed by a Sec63 domain with unknown function. We determined the crystal structure of the second Sec63 domain, which unexpectedly resembles domains 4 and 5 of DNA helicase Hel308. This, together with sequence similarities between Brr2's helicase-like domains and domains 1-3 of Hel308, led us to hypothesize that Brr2 contains two consecutive Hel308-like modules (Hel308-I and Hel308-II). Our structural model and mutagenesis data suggest that Brr2 shares a similar helicase mechanism with Hel308. We demonstrate that Hel308-II interacts with Prp8 and Snu114 in vitro and in vivo. We further find that the C-terminal region of Prp8 (Prp8-CTR) facilitates the binding of the Brr2-Prp8-CTR complex to U4/U6. Our results have important implications for the mechanism and regulation of Brr2's activity in splicing.

BoNT serotypes B, D, F and G cleave and inactivate vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP), each at a unique peptide bond. The specificity of BoNTs depends on the mode of substrate recognition. We have investigated the mechanism of substrate recognition of BoNT F by determining the crystal structures of its complex with two substrate-based inhibitors, VAMP 22-58/Gln58D-cysteine and 27-58/Gln58D-cysteine. The inhibitors bind to BoNT F in the canonical direction (as seen for BoNTs A and E substrates) but are positioned specifically via three major exosites away from the active site. The cysteine sulfur of the inhibitors interacts with the zinc and exists as sulfinic acid in the inhibitor VAMP 27-58/Gln58D-cysteine. Arg133 and Arg171, which form part of two separate exosites, are crucial for substrate binding and catalysis.

TI Investigation of alternative layouts for the supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle for a sodium-cooled fast reactor SO NUCLEAR ENGINEERING AND DESIGN LA English DT Article AB Analyses of supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO(2)) Brayton cycle performance have largely settled on the recompression supercritical cycle (or Feher cycle) incorporating a flow split between the main compressor downstream of heat rejection, a recompressing compressor providing direct compression without heat rejection, and high and low temperature recuperators to raise the effectiveness of recuperation and the cycle efficiency. Alternative cycle layouts have been previously examined by Angelino (Politecnico, Milan), by MIT (Dostal, Hejzlar, and Driscoll), and possibly others but not for sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs) operating at relatively low core outlet temperature. Thus, the present authors could not be sure that the recompression cycle is an optimal arrangement for application to the SFR. To ensure that an advantageous alternative layout has not been overlooked, several alternative cycle layouts have been investigated for a S-CO(2) Brayton cycle coupled to the Advanced Burner Test Reactor (ABTR) SFR preconceptual design having a 510 degrees C core outlet temperature and a 470 degrees C turbine inlet temperature to determine if they provide any benefit in cycle performance (e.g., enhanced cycle efficiency). No such benefits were identified, consistent with the previous examinations, such that attention was devoted to optimizing the recompression supercritical cycle. The effects of optimizing the cycle minimum temperature and pressure are investigated including minimum temperatures and/or pressures below the critical values. It is found that improvements in the cycle efficiency of 1% or greater relative to previous analyses which arbitrarily fixed the minimum temperature and pressure can be realized through an optimal choice of the combination of the minimum cycle temperature and pressure (e.g., for a fixed minimum temperature there is an optimal minimum pressure). However. this leads to a requirement for a larger cooler for heat rejection which may impact the tradeoff between efficiency and capital cost. In addition, for minimum temperatures below the critical temperature, a lower heat sink temperature is required the availability of which is dependent upon the climate at the specific plant site.

TI V3FIT: a code for three-dimensional equilibrium reconstruction SO NUCLEAR FUSION LA English DT Article ID CIRCULAR CROSS-SECTION; DIII-D TOKAMAK; PLASMA CONFIGURATIONS; STOCHASTICITY; STELLARATORS; PARAMETERS; PROFILE; DESIGN; PINCH; LI AB The V3FIT code for performing equilibrium reconstruction in three-dimensional plasmas is described. It is a modular code that has the potential to be coupled with a variety of equilibrium solvers to compute the externally measured response to an arbitrary internal state of the plasma. Singular-value decomposition is used to identify the dominant components of the plasma state that can be accurately determined by the reconstruction process and to guide the minimization of the chi(2) variance-normalized mismatch between the measured and computed signals. Comparison of a tokamak plasma equilibrium computed by V3FIT and by the axisymmetric equilibrium reconstruction code EFIT is presented. V3FIT is used to reconstruct an axisymmetric DIII-D equilibrium using experimentally observed magnetic diagnostic signals. Three-dimensional reconstructions of stellarator plasma equilibria in the CTH device show the code behaves as expected in the presence of experimental noise, appropriately ignores near-singular directions in parameter space and robustly reconstructs equilibria starting from substantially different initial parameter values.
