TI Regulation of the PDK4 isozyme by the Rb-E2F1 complex

AB Loss of the transcription factor E2F1 elicits a complex metabolic phenotype in mice underscored by reduced adiposity and protection from high fat diet-induced diabetes. Here, we demonstrate that E2F1 directly regulates the gene encoding PDK4 (pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4), a key nutrient sensor and modulator of glucose homeostasis that is chronically elevated in obesity and diabetes and acutely induced under the metabolic stress of starvation or fasting. We show that loss of E2F1 in vivo blunts PDK4 expression and improves myocardial glucose oxidation. The absence of E2F1 also corresponds to lower blood glucose levels, improved plasma lipid profile, and increased sensitivity to insulin stimulation. Consistently, enforced E2F1 expression up-regulates PDK4 levels and suppresses glucose oxidation in C2C12 myoblasts. Furthermore, inactivation of Rb, the repressor of E2F-dependent transcription, markedly induces PDK4 and triggers the enrichment of E2F1 occupancy onto the PDK4 promoter as detected by chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis. Two overlapping E2F binding sites were identified on this promoter. Transactivation assays later verified E2F1 responsiveness of this promoter element in C2C12 myoblasts and IMR90 fibroblasts, an effect that was completely abrogated following mutation of the E2F sites. Taken together, our data illustrate how the E2F1 mitogen directly regulates PDK4 levels and influences cellular bioenergetics, namely mitochondrial glucose oxidation. These results are relevant to the pathophysiology of chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes, where PDK4 is dysregulated and could have implications pertinent to the etiology of tumor metabolism, especially in cancers with Rb pathway defects.

AB Photosystem II (PSII) is a large membrane protein complex that performs the water oxidation reactions of photosynthesis in cyanobacteria, algae, and plants. The unusual redox reactions in PSII often lead to damage, degradation, and reassembly of this molecular machine. To identify novel assembly factors, high sensitivity proteomic analysis of PSII purified from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 was performed. This analysis identified six PSII-associated proteins that are encoded by an operon containing nine genes, slr0144 to slr0152. This operon encodes proteins that are not essential components of the PSII holocomplex but accumulate to high levels in pre-complexes lacking any of the lumenal proteins PsbP, PsbQ, or PsbV. The operon contains genes with putative binding domains for chlorophylls and bilins, suggesting these proteins may function as a reservoir for cofactors needed during the PSII lifecycle. Genetic deletion of this operon shows that removal of these protein products does not alter photoautotrophic growth or PSII fluorescence properties. However, the deletion does result in decreased PSII-mediated oxygen evolution and an altered distribution of the S states of the catalytic manganese cluster. These data demonstrate that the proteins encoded by the genes in this operon are necessary for optimal function of PSII and function as accessory proteins during assembly of the PSII complex. Thus, we have named the products of the slr0144-slr0152 operon Pap (Photosystem II assembly proteins).

AB The wall temperatures of three Acquity-BEH-C-18 columns (2.1 mm x 50, 100, and 150 mm) and the temperature of the incoming eluent were maintained constant at 289 K, using a circulating water heat exchanger. The retention times and the band broadening of naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene were measured for each column as a function of the flow rate applied. Pure acetonitrile was used as the eluent.
The flow rate dependence of neither elution volumes nor bandwidths can be accounted for by classical models of retention and HETP respectively, since these models assume columns to be isothermal. Because the heat generated by friction of the eluent against the column bed increases with increasing flow rate. the column bed cannot remain isothermal at high flow rates. This heat is evacuated radially and/or longitudinally by convection, conduction, and radiation. Radial and axial temperature gradients are formed, which are maximum and minimum, respectively, when the temperature of the column wall is kept uniform and constant. The retention times that we measured match well with the values predicted based on the temperature distribution along and across the column, which we calculated and on the temperature dependence of the retention for the same column operated isothermally (i.e., at very low flow rate). The rate of band spreading varies along non-isothermal columns, so the HETP can only be defined locally. It is a function of the axial coordinate. A new contribution is needed to account for the radial thermal heterogeneity of the column, hence the radial distribution of the flow velocities, which warps the elution band. A new model, based on the general dispersion theory of Aris, allows a successful prediction of the unusually large bandwidths observed with columns packed with fine particles, operated at high flow rates, hence high inlet pressures.

AB In this paper results from a cloud-resolving model that can efficiently examine the impact of aerosol on nondrizzling stratus clouds will be shown. Because the model tracks aerosol and cloud droplets in a Lagrangian framework, it does not suffer from numerical errors associated with advection, and unlike most Eulerian approaches, the method can track cloud boundaries as they move across a grid cell. After illustrating the capability of the model to reproduce various observed cloud statistics such as the cloud water mixing ratio and the mean cloud droplet radius from the DYCOMS-II field program, the ability of the model to assess the impact of changes in aerosol number and composition on a stratus deck will be highlighted. Specifically, by using activation curves appropriate for soluble, insoluble, or a mixture of both types of aerosol and for certain extreme aerosol regimes, i.e., a majority of the aerosol are hydrophobic carbon aerosol, limiting situations were examined to bound their impact on clouds. However, though these situations may be somewhat extreme, they could occasionally occur in the atmosphere, e. g., an oceanic stratus field downwind of a large ship or an urban area. Not unexpectedly, results from these simulations support previous ship track observations that for increasing aerosol numbers, cloud droplet number concentrations increase, whereas cloud droplet radii decrease. However, these simulations also suggest that the correlation between cloud droplet number concentration and aerosol number concentration may be not only a function of aerosol number concentration but also aerosol types and/or cloud dynamics.

AB Leaf area index is an important input for many climate and carbon models. The widely used leaf area products derived from satellite-observed surface reflectances contain substantial erratic fluctuations in time due to inadequate atmospheric corrections and observational and retrieval uncertainties. These fluctuations are inconsistent with the seasonal dynamics of leaf area, known to be gradual. Their use in process-based terrestrial carbon models corrupts model behavior, making diagnosis of model performance difficult. We propose a data assimilation approach that combines the satellite observations of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer ( MODIS) albedo with a dynamical leaf model. Its novelty is that the seasonal cycle of the directly retrieved leaf areas is smooth and consistent with both observations and current understandings of processes controlling leaf area dynamics. The approach optimizes the dynamical model parameters such that the difference between the estimated surface reflectances based on the modeled leaf area and those of satellite observations is minimized. We demonstrate the usefulness and advantage of our new approach at multiple deciduous forest sites in the United States.

AB RNA polymerase (RNAP) is an essential enzyme for cellular gene expression. In an effort to further understand the enzyme's importance in the cell's response to temperature, we have probed the kinetic mechanism of Escherichia coli RNAP by studying the force-velocity behavior of individual RNAP complexes at temperatures between 7 and 45 degrees C using optical tweezers. Within this temperature range and at saturating nucleotide concentrations, the pause-free transcription velocity of RNAP was independent of force and increased monotonically with temperature with an elongation activation energy of 9.7 +/- 0.7 kcal/mol. Interestingly, the pause density at cold temperatures (7 to 21 degrees C) was five times higher than that measured above room temperature. A simple kinetic model revealed a value of 1.29 +/- 0.05 kcal/mol for the activation energy of pause entry, suggesting that pause entry is indeed a thermally accessible process. The dwell time distribution of all observable pauses was independent of temperature, directly confirming a prediction of the model recently proposed for Pol II in which pauses are diffusive backtracks along the DNA. Additionally, we find that the force at which the polymerase arrests (the arrest force) presents a maximum at 21 degrees C, an unexpected result as this is not the optimum temperature for bacterial growth. This observation suggests that arrest could play a regulatory role in vivo, possibly through interactions with specific elongation factors. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Sequenced genomes of dissimilatory sulfur-oxidizing and sulfate-reducing bacteria containing genes coding for DsrAB, the enzyme dissimilatory sulfite reductase, inevitably also contain the gene coding for the 12-kDa DsrC protein. DsrC is thought to have a yet unidentified role associated with the activity of DsrAB. Here we report the solution structure of DsrC from the sulfur-oxidizing purple sulfur bacterium Allochromatium vinosum determined with NMR spectroscopy in reducing conditions, and we describe the redox behavior of two conserved cysteine residues upon transfer to an oxidizing environment. In reducing conditions, the DsrC structure is disordered in the highly conserved carboxy-terminus. We present multiple lines of evidence that, in oxidizing conditions, a strictly conserved cysteine (Cys111) at the penultimate position in the sequence forms an intramolecular disulfide bond with Cys100, which is conserved in DsrC in all organisms with DsrAB. While an intermolecular Cys111-Cys111 disulfide-bonded dimer is rapidly formed under oxidizing conditions, the intramolecularly disulfide-bonded species (Cys100-Cys111) is the thermodynamically stable form of the protein under these conditions. Treatment of the disulfidic forms with reducing agent regenerates the monomeric species that was structurally characterized. Using a band-shift technique under nondenaturing conditions, we obtained evidence for the interaction of DsrC with heterohexameric DsrEFH, a protein encoded in the same operon. Mutation of Cys100 to serine prevented formation of the DsrC species assigned as an intramolecular disulfide in oxidizing conditions, while still allowing formation of the intermolecular Cys111-Cys111 dimer. In the reduced form, this mutant protein still interacted with DsrEFH. This was not the case for the Cys111Ser and Cys100Ser/Cys111Ser mutants, both of which also did not form protein dimers. Our observations highlight the central importance of the carboxy-terminal DsrC cysteine residues and are consistent with a role as a sulfur-substrate binding/transferring protein, as well as with an electron-transfer function via thiol-disulfide interchanges.

AB We present theoretical expressions relating the cohesive energy to the bulk modulus, the force constant and the lattice constant applicable to solids with a variety of crystal structures. We have found that the cohesive energy is directly proportional to the ratio between the product of the bulk modulus through the atomic volume and the exponent of the repulsion term. We have defined a figure of merit for materials as the ratio between the product of the bulk modulus through the atomic volume and the cohesive energy. The reciprocal of this ratio is a measure of the hardness of materials. Likewise, we have found the expressions for anharmonicity and thermal expansion coefficients, which can explain, also, their possible negative values.

TI Testing Lorentz Invariance and CPT Conservation with NuMI Neutrinos in
the MINOS Near Detector
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID STANDARD MODEL; VIOLATION
AB A search for a sidereal modulation in the MINOS near detector neutrino data was performed. If present, this signature could be a consequence of Lorentz and CPT violation as predicted by the effective field theory called the standard-model extension. No evidence for a sidereal signal in the data set was found, implying that there is no significant change in neutrino propagation that depends on the direction of the neutrino beam in a sun-centered inertial frame. Upper limits on the magnitudes of the Lorentz and CPT violating terms in the standard-model extension lie between 10(-4) and 10(-2) of the maximum expected, assuming a suppression of these signatures by a factor of 10(-17).

TI Phonon Density of States of LaFeAsO(1-x)F(x)

ID 43 K; SUPERCONDUCTIVITY; LAO1-XFXFEAS; COMPOUND; GAPS
AB We have studied the phonon density of states (PDOS) in LaFeAsO(1-x)F(x) with inelastic neutron scattering methods. The PDOS of the parent compound (x=0) is very similar to the PDOS of samples optimally doped with fluorine to achieve the maximum T(c) (x similar to 0.1). Good agreement is found between the experimental PDOS and first-principles calculations with the exception of a small difference in Fe mode frequencies. The PDOS reported here is not consistent with conventional electron-phonon mediated superconductivity.

TI Highly Reduced Fine-Structure Splitting in InAs/InP Quantum Dots
Offering an Efficient On-Demand Entangled 1.55-mu m Photon Emitter
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID PSEUDOPOTENTIAL THEORY; VIOLATION
AB To generate entangled photon pairs via quantum dots (QDs), the exciton fine-structure splitting (FSS) must be comparable to the exciton homogeneous linewidth. Yet in the (In,Ga)As/GaAs QD, the intrinsic FSS is about a few tens mu eV. To achieve photon entanglement, it is necessary to cherry-pick a sample with extremely small FSS from a large number of samples or to apply a strong in-plane magnetic field. Using theoretical modeling of the fundamental causes of FSS in QDs, we predict that the intrinsic FSS of InAs/InP QDs is an order of magnitude smaller than that of InAs/GaAs dots, and, better yet, their excitonic gap matches the 1.55 mu m fiber optic wavelength and, therefore, offers efficient on-demand entangled photon emitters for long distance quantum communication.

TI Itinerant Electron-Driven Chiral Magnetic Ordering and Spontaneous
Quantum Hall Effect in Triangular Lattice Models
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID PHASE-TRANSITION; FERROMAGNET
AB We study the Kondo Lattice and the Hubbard models on a triangular lattice. We find that at the mean-field level, these rotationally invariant models naturally support a noncoplanar chiral magnetic ordering. It appears as a weak-coupling instability at the band filling factor 3/4 due to the perfect nesting of the itinerant electron Fermi surface. This ordering is a triangular-lattice counterpart of the collinear Neel ordering that occurs on the half-filled square lattice. While the long-range magnetic ordering is destroyed by thermal fluctuations, the chirality can persist up to a finite temperature, causing a spontaneous quantum Hall effect in the absence of any externally applied magnetic field.

HUBBARD-MODEL; ATOMIC-SCALE; INSULATOR
AB The electronic properties of multilayers of strongly correlated models for cuprate superconductors are investigated using cluster dynamical mean-field techniques. We focus on combinations of underdoped and overdoped layers and find that the superconducting order parameter in the overdoped layers is enhanced by the proximity effect of the strong pairing scale originating from the underdoped layers. The enhanced order parameter can even exceed the maximum value in uniform systems. This behavior is well reproduced in slave-boson mean-field calculations which also find higher transition temperatures than in the uniform system.

TI Disorder-Induced Inhomogeneities of the Superconducting State Close to
the Superconductor-Insulator Transition
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID TIN FILMS; PHASE; AMPLITUDE; SYSTEMS
AB Scanning tunneling spectroscopy at very low temperatures on homogeneously disordered superconducting titanium nitride thin films reveals strong spatial inhomogeneities of the superconducting gap Delta in the density of states. Upon increasing disorder, we observe suppression of the superconducting critical temperature T-c towards zero, enhancement of spatial fluctuations in Delta, and growth of the Delta/T-c ratio. These findings suggest that local superconductivity survives across the disorder-driven superconductor-insulator transition.

AB For the purpose of recovering the intriguing electronic properties of freestanding graphene at a solid surface, graphene self-organized on a Au monolayer on Ni(111) is prepared and characterized by scanning tunneling microscopy. Angle-resolved photoemission reveals a gapless linear pi-band dispersion near (K) over bar as a fingerprint of strictly monolayer graphene and a Dirac crossing energy equal to the Fermi energy (E-F) within 25 meV meaning charge neutrality. Spin resolution shows a Rashba effect on the pi states with a large (similar to 13 meV) spin-orbit splitting up to E-F which is independent of k.

AB Using a first-principles method, we investigate the structural and electronic properties of grain boundaries (GBs) in polycrystalline CdTe and the effects of copassivation of elements with far distinct electronegativities. Of the two types of GBs studied in this Letter, we find that the Cd core is less harmful to the carrier transport, but is difficult to passivate with impurities such as Cl and Cu, whereas the Te core creates a high defect density below the conduction band minimum, but all these levels can be removed by copassivation of Cl and Cu. Our analysis indicates that for most polycrystalline systems copassivation or multipassivation is required to passivate the GBs.

AB Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory simulations, we have studied the diffusion of alkoxy species formed by the dissociation of alcohols on bridge-bonded oxygen (BBO) vacancies (BBO(V)'s) on TiO(2)(110). At elevated temperatures (>= 400 K) the sequential isothermal STM images show that mobile BBO(V)'s mediate the diffusion of alkoxy species by providing space for alkyl-group-bearing BBO atom to diffuse into. The experimental findings are further supported by simulations that find that BBO(V) diffusion is the rate limiting step in the overall diffusion mechanism.

AB DNA from low-biodiversity fracture water collected at 2.8-kilometer depth in a South African gold mine was sequenced and assembled into a single, complete genome. This bacterium, Candidatus Desulforudis audaxviator, composes > 99.9% of the microorganisms inhabiting the fluid phase of this particular fracture. Its genome indicates a motile, sporulating, sulfate-reducing, chemoautotrophic thermophile that can fix its own nitrogen and carbon by using machinery shared with archaea. Candidatus Desulforudis audaxviator is capable of an independent life-style well suited to long-term isolation from the photosphere deep within Earth's crust and offers an example of a natural ecosystem that appears to have its biological component entirely encoded within a single genome.

AB We report the deterministic growth of individual single-crystal organic semiconductor nanowires of silver-tetracyanoquinodimethane (Ag-TCNQ) with high yield (>90%) by a vapor-solid chemical reaction process. Ag-metal films or patterned dots deposited onto substrates serve as chemical reaction centers and are completely consumed during the growth of the individual or multiple nanowires. Selective-area electron diffraction (SAED) revealed that the Ag-TCNQ nanowires grow preferentially along the strong pi-pi stacking direction of Ag-TCNQ molecules. The vapor-solid chemical reaction process described here permits the growth of organic nanowires at lower temperatures than chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of inorganic nanowires. The single-crystal Ag-TCNQ nanowires are shown to act as memory switches with high on/off ratios, making them potentially useful in optical storage, ultrahigh-density nanoscale memory, and logic devices.

TI Using the preconditioned Generalized Minimum RESidual (GMRES) method to
solve the sea-ice momentum equation

AB We introduce the preconditioned generalized minimum residual (GMRES) method, along with an outer loop (OL) iteration to solve the sea-ice momentum equation. The preconditioned GMRES method is the linear solver. GMRES together with the OL is used to solve the nonlinear momentum equation. The GMRES method has low storage requirements, and it is computationally efficient and parallelizable. It was found that the preconditioned GMRES method is about 16 times faster than a stand-alone successive overrelaxation (SOR) solver and three times faster than a stand-alone line SOR (LSOR). Unlike stand-alone SOR and stand-alone LSOR, the cpu time needed by the preconditioned GMRES method for convergence weakly depends on the relaxation parameter when it is smaller than the optimal value. Results also show that with a 6-hour time step, the free drift velocity field is a better initial guess than the previous time step solution. For GMRES, the symmetry of the system matrix is not a prerequisite. The Coriolis term and the off-diagonal part of the water drag term can then be treated implicitly. The implicit treatment eliminates an instability characterized by a residual oscillation in the total kinetic energy of the ice pack that can be present when these off-diagonal terms are handled explicitly. Treating these terms explicitly prevents one from obtaining a high-accuracy solution of the sea-ice momentum equation unless a corrector step is applied. In fact, even after a large number of OL iterations, errors in the drift of the same magnitude as the drift itself can be present when these terms are treated explicitly.

AB A nanosystem formed by a high electric dipole moment thiopolypeptide alpha-helix, consisting of eight L-glycine units, chemisorbed on the (111) surface of Au-23 and Au-55 clusters, with the S as the linking atom, was studied using the wave function broken symmetry UDFT method. We have found a strong correlation between the orientation of the electric dipole of the alpha-helix and charge transfer and the magnetic behavior of the adsorbate-cluster system. Upon chemisorption, dipole moments may be quenched or enhanced, with respect to the gas phase value, with the strongest reduction corresponding to the magnetic state. A reduction of the alpha-helix's electric dipole with the net charge transfer from the Au surface was obtained for the more stable state. In this state description, it may happen that the calculated spin densities of the chemisorbed alpha-helix and its free radical form are similar. The magnetic properties are strongly dependent on the size of the Au cluster and on its electronic structure with respect to nuclei positions. In general, the localized spin density per atom increases and the magnetization of the extended system decreases with cluster size, a trend found experimentally for organic monolayers with a similar type of adsorbate we consider here.

AB Vertical excitation energies in uracil in the gas phase and in water solution are investigated by the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster and multireference configuration interaction methods. Basis set effects are found to be important for converged results. The analysis of electronic wave functions reveals that the lowest singlet states are predominantly of a singly excited character and are therefore well described by single-reference equation-of-motion methods augmented by a perturbative triples correction to account for dynamical cot-relation. Our best estimates for the vertical excitation energies for the lowest singlet n -> pi* and pi -> pi* are 5.0 +/- 0.1 eV and 5.3 +/- 0.1 eV, respectively. The solvent effects for these states are estimated to be +0.5 eV and +/- 0.1 eV, respectively. We attribute the difference between the computed vertical excitations and the maximum of the experimental absorption to strong vibronic interaction between the lowest A '' and A' states leading to intensity borrowing by the forbidden transition.

AB Currently available density functionals cannot describe the dispersion component of the interaction energy present in weakly bound complexes. Moreover, the exchange energy as obtained from the density-functional theory is often incorrect. Examples of problematic cases include clusters of van der Waals-bound rare-gas atoms and most hydrogen-bonded molecular systems. Thus, accurate ab initio methods to treat intermolecular forces should be used in such systems. These methods are, however, too slow to be applicable to the large systems needed to model adsorption. This is why DFT continues to be used, where, in addition, a quite common compensation of errors sometimes produces some sort of agreement with the corresponding experimental data. In this paper, we analyze in detail the inadequacy of standard DFT for describing the weak binding present in a few rare gas-rare gas, metal atom-rare gas, and metal atom-metal atom dimers. Inspired by the success of the Hartree-Fock plus (damped) dispersion (HFD) method, we test the use of an improved hybrid model in which to a density-functional interaction energy (with corrected exchange and avoidance of double-counting of dispersion), a (damped) dispersion expansion is added in the usual way. Comparisons with accurate theoretical or experimental benchmarks show that our DFdD method using the revPBEx or revPBEx+VWNc functionals and accurate dispersion coefficients is found to recover the interaction energy curves very well for many of the tested systems. The second paper in this series will describe the use of the DFdD method for physisorption for the previously well-studied (but not solved) case of Xe/Cu(111).

AB The new technique of nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) has increased the range and quality of dynamical data from Fe-containing molecules that when combined with Raman and infrared spectroscopies impose stricter constraints on normal mode simulations, especially at lower frequencies. Going beyond the usual single molecule approximation, a classical normal-mode analysis that includes intermolecular coupling and the full crystalline symmetry is found to produce a better fit with fewer free parameters for the heme compound iron octaethylporphyrin (FeOEP), using NRVS data from polycrystalline material. Off-diagonal force constants were completely unnecessary, indicating that their role in previous single molecule fits was just to emulate intermolecular coupling. Sound velocities deduced from the calculated phonon dispersion curves are compared to NRVS measurements to further constrain the intermolecular force constants. The NRVS data by themselves are insufficient to rigorously determine all unknown force constants for molecules of this size, but the improved crystal model fit indicates the necessity of including intermolecular interactions for normal-mode analyses.

AB In order to properly describe reactions in heterogeneous catalyst systems, the reactants, solvent, and bulk effects of the surface must be taken into account. Embedded-cluster QM (quantum mechanics)/MM (molecular mechanics) methods can treat reactions on surfaces (the gas-surface interface), and the effective fragment potential method (EFP) can accurately treat the solvent effects on reactions (the gas-liquid interface). In order to create a QM/MM/EFP hybrid method for treatment of heterogeneous catalytic systems in the presence of a solvent (the liquid-surface interface), an EFP-MM interaction potential has been developed. Example calculations on small clusters of silica and water have been carried out.

AB Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study the translocation of single-stranded (ss) DNA through the nanoscale gap between the nanoscale electrodes of a proposed genomic sequencing device. An applied electric field forces the ssDNA to move in the direction of the nanoscale gap in platinum electrodes. A series of simulations utilizing eight different nanoscale gap distances as well as seven different nucleotide chain lengths were performed to determine the impact of these variables on the overall design of the sequencing device and the translocation behavior of ssDNA. The results clearly indicate a threshold value of the gap width below which the ssDNA will readily enter and traverse the nanoscale gap. Translocation velocities obtained for various chain lengths were consistent with simulated bulk data; however, successful translocation was inconsistent, possibly related to the sample's affinity for the metal electrodes. An attempt at overcoming this barrier was made through the implementation of shaped electrodes as well as prethreading of the ssDNA sample.

AB Using first-principles calculations within density functional theory, we have investigated the electronic properties of H-passivated Si nanowires (SiNWs) oriented along the 112 direction, with the atomic geometries retrieved via global search using genetic algorithm. We show that [112] SiNWs have an indirect band gap in the ultrathin diameter regime, whereas the energy difference between the direct and indirect fundamental band gaps progressively decreases as the wire size increases, indicating that larger [112] SiNWs could have a quasi-direct band gap. We further show that this quasi-direct gap feature can be enhanced when applying uniaxial compressive stress along the wire axis. Moreover, our calculated results also reveal that the electronic band structure is sensitive to the change of the aspect ratio of the cross sections.

AB We prepared model supported nanoporous Pd catalysts grown via ballistic deposition with an unprecedented catalytic activity for ethylene hydrogenation. Extremely high conversion of ethylene to ethane (50%) exceeding that observed in prior studies by over an order-of-magnitude was achieved. Model Pd(111)/Pt(111) and Pd-decorated Pd(111)/Pt(111) and FeO(111)/Pt(111) thin film catalysts were employed to examine how the reactivity evolves with creation of catalytically active Pd sites. The origin of enhanced reactivity is shown to be due to the presence of highly reactive Pd sites and the absence of surface hydrogen depletion due to dissolution into the bulk. Collectively these studies present an enhanced and unified understanding of the catalytic behavior of various Pd samples employed in prior studies.

AB Ultrafast near-infrared photoexcitation of mixed adlayers of carbon monoxide and atomic oxygen on the Pd(111) surface results in the efficient associative desorption of carbon dioxide. The oxidized fraction of the desorbed molecules ranges from similar to 15% to 40%, approximately an order of magnitude greater than observed from Ru(001) under similar conditions. Time-resolved correlation measurements reveal fast dynamics that indicate the photochemistry is mediated by substrate electrons. The dynamics are strongly dependent on the initial CO coverage in a manner consistent with an activation energy for oxidation that depends on the initial CO binding site. These results, in addition to comparison of the ultrafast photooxidation to thermal oxidation, are consistent with the photooxidation occurring rapidly (within one to several picoseconds) from an initial mixed CO+O adlayer structure without time for diffusional phase segregation. The observed efficient ultrafast photoexcitation of associative desorption of CO2 from Pd(111) thus provides the opportunity to follow the picosecond dynamics of the bimolecular surface chemical reaction of CO+O from a well-defined initial geometry.

AB The realization of high- transition- temperature ( high- T-c) superconductivity confined to nanometre- sized interfaces has been a long- standing goal because of potential applications(1,2) and the opportunity to study quantum phenomena in reduced dimensions(3,4). This has been, however, a challenging target: in conventional metals, the high electron density restricts interface effects ( such as carrier depletion or accumulation) to a region much narrower than the coherence length, which is the scale necessary for superconductivity to occur. By contrast, in copper oxides the carrier density is low whereas T-c is high and the coherence length very short, which provides an opportunity - but at a price: the interface must be atomically perfect. Here we report superconductivity in bilayers consisting of an insulator ( La2CuO4) and a metal ( La1.55Sr0.45CuO4), neither of which is superconducting in isolation. In these bilayers, T-c is either similar to 15 K or similar to 30 K, depending on the layering sequence. This highly robust phenomenon is confined within 2 - 3nm of the interface. If such a bilayer is exposed to ozone, T-c exceeds 50 K, and this enhanced superconductivity is also shown to originate from an interface layer about 1 - 2 unit cells thick. Enhancement of T-c in bilayer systems was observed previously(5) but the essential role of the interface was not recognized at the time.

AB The single transverse spin asymmetries in heavy quark and antiquark production from the quark-antiquark annihilation channel contribution is studied by taking into account the initial and final state interactions effects. Because of the different color charges, the final state interaction effects lead to about a factor of 3 difference in the spin asymmetry for heavy quark over that for the antiquark in the valence region of low energy pp collisions. The experimental study of this model-independent prediction shall provide a crucial test for the underlying mechanism for the single spin asymmetry phenomena. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

TI Detection of the dominant direction of information flow and feedback
links in densely interconnected regulatory networks
SO BMC BIOINFORMATICS
LA English
DT Article
ID GRAPHS
AB Background: Finding the dominant direction of flow of information in densely interconnected regulatory or signaling networks is required in many applications in computational biology and neuroscience. This is achieved by first identifying and removing links which close up feedback loops in the original network and hierarchically arranging nodes in the remaining network. In mathematical language this corresponds to a problem of making a graph acyclic by removing as few links as possible and thus altering the original graph in the least possible way. The exact solution of this problem requires enumeration of all cycles and combinations of removed links, which, as an NP-hard problem, is computationally prohibitive even for modest-size networks.
Results: We introduce and compare two approximate numerical algorithms for solving this problem: the probabilistic one based on a simulated annealing of the hierarchical layout of the network which minimizes the number of "backward" links going from lower to higher hierarchical levels, and the deterministic, "greedy" algorithm that sequentially cuts the links that participate in the largest number of feedback cycles. We find that the annealing algorithm outperforms the deterministic one in terms of speed, memory requirement, and the actual number of removed links. To further improve a visual perception of the layout produced by the annealing algorithm, we perform an additional minimization of the length of hierarchical links while keeping the number of anti-hierarchical links at their minimum. The annealing algorithm is then tested on several examples of regulatory and signaling networks/pathways operating in human cells.
Conclusion: The proposed annealing algorithm is powerful enough to performs often optimal layouts of protein networks in whole organisms, consisting of around similar to 10(4) nodes and similar to 10(5) links, while the applicability of the greedy algorithm is limited to individual pathways with similar to 100 vertices. The considered examples indicate that the annealing algorithm produce biologically meaningful layouts: The function of the most of the anti-hierarchical links is indeed to send a feedback signal to the upstream pathway elements. Source codes of F90 and Matlab implementation of the two algorithms are available at http://www.cmth.bnl.gov/similar to maslov/programs.htm

AB The capsids of tailed-DNA bacteriophages first assemble as procapsids, which mature by converting into a new form that is strong enough to contain a densely packed viral chromosome. We demonstrate that the intersubunit crosslinking that occurs during maturation of HK97 capsids actually promotes the structural transformation. Small-angle X-ray scattering and crosslinking assays reveal that a shift in the crosslink pattern accompanies conversion of a semimature particle, Expansion Intermediate-I/II, to a more mature state, Balloon. This transition occurs in a switch-like fashion. We find that crosslink formation shifts the global conformational balance to favor the balloon state. A pseudoatomic model of EI-I/II derived from cryo-EM provides insight into the relationship between crosslink formation and conformational switching.

AB In the chemokine family, we characterize two examples of evolutionarily conserved unfavorable sequence motifs that affect quaternary structure. In contrast to the straightforward action of favorable sequences, these unfavorable motifs produce interactions disfavoring one outcome to indirectly promote another one but should not be confused with the broad sampling produced by negative selection and/or design. To identify such motifs, we developed a statistically validated computational method combining structure and phylogeny. This approach was applied in an analysis of the alternate forms of homodimerization exhibited in the chemokine family. While the chemokine family exhibits the same tertiary fold, members of certain subfamilies, including CXCL8, form a homodimer across the beta 1 strand whereas members of other subfamilies, including CCL4 and CCL2, form a homodimer on the opposite side of the chemokine fold. These alternate dimerization states suggest that CCL4 and CCL2 contain specific sequences that disfavor CXCL8 dimerization. Using our computational approach, we identified two evolutionarily conserved sequence motifs in the CC subfamilies: a drastic two-residue deletion (Delta RV) and a simple point mutation (V27R). Cloned into the CXCL8 background, these two motifs were experimentally proven to confer a monomeric state. NMR analyses indicate that these variants are structured in solution and retain the chemokine fold. Structurally, the motifs retain a chemokine tertiary fold while introducing unfavorable quaternary interactions that inhibit CXCL8 dimerization. In demonstrating the success of our computational method, our results argue that these unfavorable motifs have been evolutionarily conserved to specifically disfavor one dimerization state and, as a result, indirectly contribute to favoring another.

AB Background: Soluble guanylate cyclases generate cyclic GMP when bound to nitric oxide, thereby linking nitric oxide levels to the control of processes such as vascular homeostasis and neurotransmission. The guanylate cyclase catalytic module, for which no structure has been determined at present, is a class III nucleotide cyclase domain that is also found in mammalian membrane-bound guanylate and adenylate cyclases.
Results: We have determined the crystal structure of the catalytic domain of a soluble guanylate cyclase from the green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii at 2.55 angstrom resolution, and show that it is a dimeric molecule.
Conclusion: Comparison of the structure of the guanylate cyclase domain with the known structures of adenylate cyclases confirms the close similarity in architecture between these two enzymes, as expected from their sequence similarity. The comparison also suggests that the crystallized guanylate cyclase is in an inactive conformation, and the structure provides indications as to how activation might occur. We demonstrate that the two active sites in the dimer exhibit positive cooperativity, with a Hill coefficient of similar to 1.5. Positive cooperativity has also been observed in the homodimeric mammalian membrane-bound guanylate cyclases. The structure described here provides a reliable model for functional analysis of mammalian guanylate cyclases, which are closely related in sequence.

SO JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS

ID ALIGNMENT; FIELDS; PULSES
AB We present a computational study of the rotational molecular dynamics of bromotrifluoromethane (CF3Br) molecules in gas phase. The rotation is manipulated with an off-resonant 800 nm laser. The molecules are treated as rigid rotors. Frequently, we use a computationally efficient linear rotor model for CF3Br, which we compare with selected results for full symmetric-rotor computations. The expectation value < cos(2) theta >(t) is discussed. Especially, the transition from impulsive to adiabatic alignment, the temperature dependence of the maximally achievable alignment, and its intensity dependence are investigated. In a next step, we examine resonant x-ray absorption as an accurate tool to study laser manipulation of molecular rotation. Specifically, we investigate the impact of the x-ray pulse duration on the signal (particularly its temporal resolution) and study the temperature dependence of the achievable absorption. Most importantly, we demonstrated that using picosecond x-ray pulses, one can accurately measure the expectation value < cos(2) theta >(t) for impulsively aligned CF3Br molecules. We point out that a control of the rotational dynamics opens up a novel way to imprint shapes onto long x-ray pulses on a picosecond time scale. For our computations, we determine the dynamic polarizability tensor of CF3Br using ab initio molecular linear-response theory in conjunction with wave function models of increasing sophistication: Coupled-cluster singles (CCS), second-order approximate coupled-cluster singles and doubles (CC2), and coupled-cluster singles and doubles (CCSD).

AB Despite the significant advances in free-energy computations for biomolecules, there exists no general method to evaluate the free-energy difference between two conformations of a macromolecule that differ significantly from each other. A crucial ingredient of such a method is the ability to find a path between different conformations that allows an efficient computation of the free energy. In this paper, we introduce a method called "deactivated morphing," in which one conformation is morphed into another after the internal interactions are completely turned off. An important feature of this method is the (shameless) use of nonphysical paths, which makes the method robustly applicable to conformational changes of arbitrary complexity.

AB Using ab initio spin density functional theory, we investigate the energetics and kinetics of Ti clustering on both neutral and charged C-60 surfaces. We compare the formation energy of sparsely dispersed zero-dimensional (0D), compact single-layered two-dimensional (2D), and clustered three-dimensional (3D) Ti-N configurations as a function of cluster size (N <= 12) and further study the transformation kinetics between them. We find that 0D configuration is always less stable than that of 2D and 3D configurations and 0D to 2D transformation involves in a single Ti diffusion process with kinetic barrier of <= 0.7 eV. On the other hand, there exists a critical cluster size (N-C) of N-C=5, below which 2D layers are preferred to 3D clusters. Hole- or B-doping greatly enhance the Ti-fullerene interaction and lead to stronger dispersion of Ti atoms. Even so, for moderate charge doping (less than seven holes) the critical size of Ti atoms on neutral C-60 surprisingly remains unchanged or only slightly increases to N-C=6 by B-doping. However, we find that the formation of 3D clusters may be hindered by a high kinetic barrier related to the process of single Ti atoms climbing up a single Ti layer. This barrier is similar to 1 eV or even 1.47 eV for B-doped C-60 surfaces which is high enough to stabilize larger 2D structures (N >= N-C) at low temperatures. These findings may prove to be instrumental in stabilizing transition metal coated nanostructures and especially homogeneously Ti-coated fullerenes, which are believed to be a very promising material for hydrogen storage.

AB Characterizing flow patterns and mixing of fossil fuel-derived CO(2) is important for effectively using atmospheric measurements to constrain emissions inventories. Here we used measurements and a model of atmospheric radiocarbon ((14)C) to investigate the distribution and fluxes of atmospheric fossil fuel CO(2) across the state of California. We sampled (14)C in annual C(3) grasses at 128 sites and used these measurements to test a regional model that simulated anthropogenic and ecosystem CO(2) fluxes, transport in the atmosphere, and the resulting Delta(14)C of annual grasses (Delta(g)). Average measured Delta(g) levels in Los Angeles, San Francisco, the Central Valley, and the North Coast were 27.7 +/- 20.0, 44.0 +/- 10.9, 48.7 +/- 1.9, and 59.9 +/- 2.5%, respectively, during the 2004-2005 growing season. Model predictions reproduced regional patterns reasonably well, with estimates of 27.6 +/- 2.4, 39.4 +/- 3.9, 46.8 +/- 3.0, and 59.3 +/- 0.2% for these same regions and corresponding to fossil fuel CO(2) mixing ratios (C(f)) of 13.7, 6.1, 4.8, and 0.3 ppm. Delta(g) spatial heterogeneity in Los Angeles and San Francisco was higher in the measurements than in the predictions, probably from insufficient spatial resolution in the fossil fuel inventories (e. g., freeways are not explicitly included) and transport (e. g., within valleys). We used the model to predict monthly and annual transport patterns of fossil fuel-derived CO(2) within and out of California. Fossil fuel CO(2) emitted in Los Angeles and San Francisco was predicted to move into the Central Valley, raising C(f) above that expected from local emissions alone. Annually, about 21, 39, 35, and 5% of fossil fuel emissions leave the California airspace to the north, east, south, and west, respectively, with large seasonal variations in the proportions. Positive correlations between westward fluxes and Santa Ana wind conditions were observed. The southward fluxes over the Pacific Ocean were maintained in a relatively coherent flow within the marine boundary layer, while the eastward fluxes were more vertically dispersed. Our results indicate that state and continental scale atmospheric inversions need to consider areas where mixing ratio measurements are sparse (e. g., over the ocean to the south and west of California), transport within and across the marine boundary layer, and terrestrial boundary layer dynamics. Radiocarbon measurements can be very useful in constraining these estimates.

AB ACE SWEPAM measurements of solar wind field-aligned electrons have been compared with simultaneous measurements of polar rain electrons precipitating over the polar cap and detected by DMSP spacecraft. Such comparisons allow investigation of cross-polar-cap gradients in the intensity of otherwise-steady polar rain. The generally good agreement of the distribution functions, f, from the two data sources confirms that direct entry of solar electrons along open field lines is indeed the cause of polar rain. The agreement between the data sets is typically best on the side of the polar cap with most intense polar rain but the DMSP f's in less intense regions can be brought into agreement with ACE measurements by shifting all energies by a fixed amounts that range from tens to several hundred eV. In most cases these shifts are positive which implies that field-aligned potentials of these amounts exist on polar cap field lines which tend to retard the entry of electrons and produce the observed gradients. These retarding potentials undoubtedly appear in order to prevent the entry of low-energy electrons and maintain charge quasi-neutrality that would otherwise be violated since most tailward flowing magnetosheath ions are unable to follow polar rain electrons down to the polar cap. In more limited regions near the boundary of the polar cap there is sometimes evidence for field-aligned potentials of the opposite sign that accelerate polar rain electrons. A solar electron burst is also studied and it is concluded that electrons from such bursts can enter the magnetotail and precipitate in the same manner as polar rain.

AB Here we investigate the dynamic self-assembly pathway of ordered gold nanocrystal arrays during the self-assembly of gold nanocrystal micelles, with and without the presence of colloidal silica precursors, using grazing-incidence X-ray scattering performed at a synchrotron source. With silica precursors present, a lattice with rhombohedral symmetry is formed from the partial collapse of a face-centered cubic structure. In the absence of silica, a transient body-centered orthorhombic phase appears, which rapidly collapses into a glassy nanocrystal film. The appearance of face-centered and body-centered structures is consistent with a phase diagram for charged colloidal particles with assembly modulated via Coulomb screening.

AB Defect sites on bone minerals play a critical role in bone remodeling processes. We investigated single crystal hydroxyapatite (100) surfaces bearing crystal defects under acidic dissolution conditions using real-time in situ atomic force microscopy. At defect sites, surface structure-dependent asymmetric hexagonal etch pits were formed, which dominated the overall dissolution rate. Meanwhile, dissolution from the flat terraces proceeded by stochastic formation of flat bottom etch pits. The resulting pit shapes were intrinsically dictated by the HAP crystal structure. Computational modeling also predicted different step energies associated with different facets of the asymmetric etch pits. Our microscopic observations of HAP dissolution are significant for understanding the effects of local surface structure on the bone mineral remodeling process and provide useful insights for the design of novel therapies for treating osteoporosis and dental caries.

AB Single-phase anatase-TiO2 nanomaterials with a size of ca. 10 nm and variable quantities of anion impurities were prepared using a novel pathway based on the use of amorphous ammonium Ti-oxychloride precursors synthesized using Ti/Cl initial ratios between 1 and 6. The precursor nature and evolution under thermal treatment were studied using chemical analysis, XRD, XPS, DRIFTS, and mass spectrometry. The nature and concentration of anatase-TiO2 materials anion impurities were analyzed by XPS and DRIFTS. It is shown that negatively charged impurities located in substitutional positions of the anatase network are maximized for a sample synthesized using a Ti/Cl 1:1 atomic ratio and are responsible for the elimination of liquid-phase (phenol) and gas-phase (isopropanol or methylcyclohexane) pollutants under sunlight excitation. A link is established among the initial chemical characterization of the precursors, the final morphological, structural, and chemical composition of the oxide materials, and their photochemical properties.

AB Estimates of 21st Century global-mean surface temperature increase have generally been based on scenarios that do not include climate policies. Newly developed multigas mitigation scenarios, based on a wide range of modeling approaches and socioeconomic assumptions, now allow the assessment of possible impacts of climate policies on projected warming ranges. This article assesses the atmospheric CO2 concentrations, radiative forcing, and temperature increase for these new scenarios using two reduced-complexity climate models. These scenarios result in temperature increase of 0.5-4.4 degrees C over 1990 levels or 0.3-3.4 degrees C less than the no-policy cases. The range results from differences in the assumed stringency of climate policy and uncertainty in our understanding of the climate system. Notably, an average minimum warming of approximate to 1.4 degrees C (with a full range of 0.5-2.8 degrees C) remains for even the most stringent stabilization scenarios analyzed here. This value is substantially above previously estimated committed warming based on climate system inertia alone. The results show that, although ambitious mitigation efforts can significantly reduce global warming, adaptation measures will be needed in addition to mitigation to reduce the impact of the residual warming.

AB We analyze the influence of applied source-drain bias (V(sd)) on the magnetoresistance (MR) of a field-effect transistor (FET) whose gate is formed by a nanoscale magnet. Using an external magnetic field to modulate the fringing magnetic fields that emanate into the channel of the hybrid FET from its gate, we observe a strongly hysteretic MR that is suppressed by the application of V(sd). Our analysis suggests that the effect of V(sd) is to reduce the effective barrier in the channel and that the tunneling/activated MR is quenched due to the associated increase in carrier transmission.

AB The ferroelectric polarization switching behavior at the 24 degrees (100) tilt grain boundary (GB) in an epitaxial multiferroic BiFeO(3) bicrystal film is studied using piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). The PFM amplitudes across positively and negatively poled GB regions suggest the presence of a frozen polarization component at the interface. The switching experiments demonstrate that the GB attracts the domain wall and acts as a pinning center. The PFM results are compared with conductive atomic force microscopy and spectroscopy, which suggest domain wall pinning at the GB can be partially attributed to increased conductance at the GB.

The effects of stretch rate and substrate on the material order are examined. We further show that the stretch-induced increase in long-range order leads to an increase in photoconductive response parallel to the stretch direction, and a decrease in the orthogonal direction. The introduction of small amounts of substituted fullerenes does not interfere with the ordering of the polymer on a bulk scale. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics. [DOI: 10.1063/1.2978247]

AB Nanocomposite (BiFeO(3))(0.5):(Sm(2)O(3))(0.5) films were deposited on (001) oriented Nb-doped SrTiO(3) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The leakage current density versus electric field characteristics were investigated and compared with those of as-deposited and annealed pure BiFeO(3) (BFO) thin films. The dominant leakage mechanisms of nanocomposite films were space-charge-limited current and Poole-Frenkle emission for positive and negative biases, respectively. The leakage current density of nanocomposite films was reduced three orders of magnitude in comparison with the as-deposited pure BFO films. The less oxygen vacancies in the BFO phase in the nanocomposite is believed to contribute to the leakage reduction. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.

AB Dehydrogenation of amine boranes is catalyzed efficiently by the iridium pincer complex (kappa(3)-1,3-((OPBu2)-Bu-t)(2)C6H3)Ir(H)(2) (1). With CH3NH2BH3 (MeAB) and with AB/MeAB mixtures (AB = NH3BH3), the rapid release of 1 equiv of H-2 is observed to yield soluble oligomeric products at rates similar to those previously reported for the dehydrogenation of AB catalyzed by 1. Delta H for the dehydrogenation of AB, MeAB, and AB/MeAB mixtures has been determined by calorimetry. The experimental heats of reaction are compared to results from computational studies.

AB Heterobimetallic complexes of a vanadium(V) and rhenium(VII) combination connected by mu-oxido bridge [LVO(mu-O)ReO3]center dot H2O [H2L = N, N'-ethylene bis(salicylideneimine) (H(2)salen) and its methoxy derivative] (1, 2) are reported. The compounds have been prepared by a single-pot synthesis in which the precursor [(VOL)-O-IV] complexes are allowed to be oxidized aerially in the presence of added perrhenate. The oxidized [(VOL)-O-V](+) species accommodate the ReO4- anion in their vacant coordination site, trans to the terminal oxido group, providing the complexes 1 and 2. The later generates a binuclear oxovanadium(V) compound [H(2)en][(TBC)VO(mu-TBC)(2)OV(TBC)]center dot 5H(2)O (3) when treated with tetrabromocatechol. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and H-1 NMR spectroscopy have been used to establish their identities. In compound 2, the Re(1)-O(11)-V(1) bridge angle is barely linear [170.2(3)degrees] with a Re...V separation of 3.9647(9) angstrom. The redox behavior of 1 and 2 are quite interesting, each undergoing two reductions both in the positive potential range at E-1/2 = 0.59 (process I) and E-1/2 = 0.16 V (process II) versus Ag/AgCl reference (corresponding potentials are 0.59 and 0.18 V for 2). Process I has a single-electron stoichiometry involving the [VO(salen)] part of the complexes as established by combined coulometry-Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) experiments which provide an eight-line isotropic EPR pattern at room temperature (< g > = 1.967; < A > = 87 x 10(-4) cm-1), characteristic of an unpaired electron being coupled to a vanadium nuclear spin (V-51, I = 7/2). The almost linear V-O-Re bridge in 1 and 2 allows this unpaired electron to interact effectively with the neighboring Re nuclear spin, leading to familiar "two-line pattern" superhyperfine coupling (A ((185),Re-187) = 20.7 x 10(-4) cm(-1)). Process II, on the other hand, is based on a Re(VII/VI) electron transfer as confirmed by differential pulse and normal pulse voltammetric experiments.

AB This work is aimed at utilizing a new synthetic technique to form novel complex hydrides for hydrogen storage. This technique is based on fusing different complex hydrides at elevated temperatures and pressures to form new species with improved hydrogen storage properties. Under conditions of elevated hydrogen overpressures and temperatures the starting materials can reach melting or near-melting point without decomposing (molten state processing), allowing for enhanced diffusion and exchange of elements among the starting materials. The formation and stabilization of these compounds, using the molten state process, is driven by the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the starting and resulting compounds. Complex hydrides (e.g. NaK2AlH6, Mg(AlH4)(2)) Were formed, structurally characterized and their hydrogen desorption properties were tested. In this paper we report on investigations of the thermodynamic aspects governing the process and products. We also report on the role of molar ratio in determining the final products. The effectiveness of the molten state process is compared with chemomechanical synthetic methods (ball milling). (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB ecomposition in Fe-x at.%Ga alloys subjected to different thermal treatments has been investigated by high-resolution X-ray and neutron diffraction for 12 < x < 25. Quenching suppresses the formation of a D0(3) structure in favor of a high-temperature disordered bcc (A2) structure. By contrast, annealing produces a two-phase mixture of A2 + D0(3) for 14 < x < 20 and a fully D0(3) phase for x = 25. Temperature dependent studies revealed that phase separation occurs below 650 degrees C on cooling for x = 20, where a notable radial line broadening develops. The splitting of the (2 0 0) and (0 0 2) Bragg peaks observed along the respective transverse directions indicates that the samples are composed of multiple crystal grains, slightly tilted with respect to each other.

ID CARBON CONCENTRATIONS; SOLAR-RADIATION; SURFACE; CLIMATE
AB In this paper, we compare constructed records of concentrations of black carbon (BC) - an indicator of anthropogenic aerosols - with observed surface temperature trends in California. Annual average BC concentrations in major air basins in California significantly decreased after about 1990, coincident with an observed statewide surface temperature increase. Seasonal aerosol concentration trends are consistent with observed seasonal temperature trends. These data suggest that the reduction in anthropogenic aerosol concentrations contributed to the observed surface temperature increase. Conversely, high aerosol concentrations may lower surface temperature and partially offset the temperature increase of greenhouse gases.

AB Mre11 forms the core of the multifunctional Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex that detects DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), activates the ATM checkpoint kinase, and initiates homologous recombination (HR) repair of DSBs. To define the roles of Mre11 in both DNA bridging and nucleolytic processing during initiation of DSB repair, we combined small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and crystal structures of Pyrococcus furiosus Mre11 dimers bound to DNA with mutational analyses of fission yeast Mre11. The Mre11 dimer adopts a four-lobed U-shaped structure that is critical for proper MRN complex assembly and for binding and aligning DNA ends. Further, mutations blocking Mre11 endonuclease activity impair cell survival after DSB induction without compromising MRN complex assembly or Mre11-dependant recruitment of Ctp1, an HR factor, to DSBs. These results show how Mre11 dimerization and nuclease activities initiate repair of DSBs and collapsed replication forks, as well as provide a molecular foundation for understanding cancer-causing Mre11 mutations in ataxia telangiectasia-like disorder (ATLD).

AB We develop an interpretation of the geometric phase in evolution with a non-Hermitian real-valued Hamiltonian by relating it to the angle developed during the parallel transport along a closed curve by a unit vector triad in the 3D Minkovsky space. We also show that this geometric phase is responsible for the anholonomy effects in stochastic processes considered by Sinitsyn and Nemenman (2007 Europhys.

AB It is shown that the use of a high power alpha of the Laplacian in the dissipative term of hydrodynamical equations leads asymptotically to truncated inviscid conservative dynamics with a finite range of spatial Fourier modes. Those at large wave numbers thermalize, whereas modes at small wave numbers obey ordinary viscous dynamics [C. Cichowlas et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 264502 (2005)]. The energy bottleneck observed for finite alpha may be interpreted as incomplete thermalization. Artifacts arising from models with alpha > 1 are discussed.

AB It is shown that collisional plasma transport is intrinsically ambipolar only in quasiaxisymmetric or quasihelically symmetric magnetic configurations. Only in such fields can the plasma rotate freely, and then only in the direction of quasisymmetry. In a non-quasi-symmetric magnetic field, the average radial electric field is determined by parallel viscosity, which in turn is usually governed by collisional processes. Locally, the radial electric field may be affected by turbulent Reynolds stress producing zonal flows, but on a radial average taken over several ion gyroradii, it is determined by parallel viscosity, at least if the turbulence is electrostatic and obeys the conventional gyrokinetic orderings. This differs from the situation in a tokamak, where there is no flow damping by parallel viscosity in the symmetry direction and the turbulent Reynolds stress may affect the global radial electric field.

TI Momentum dependence of the superconducting gap in NdFeAsO0.9F0.1 single
crystals measured by angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS

ID FERMI-SURFACE; LAO1-XFXFEAS
AB We use angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy to study the momentum dependence of the superconducting gap in NdFeAsO0.9F0.1 single crystals. We find that the Gamma hole pocket is fully gapped below the superconducting transition temperature. The value of the superconducting gap is 15 +/- 1: 5 meV and its anisotropy around the hole pocket is smaller than 20% of this value -consistent with an isotropic or anisotropic s-wave symmetry of the order parameter. This is a significant departure from the situation in the cuprates, pointing to the possibility that the superconductivity in the iron arsenic based system arises from a different mechanism.

AB We report a new type of carbon material - porous colossal carbon tubes. Compared with carbon nanotubes, colossal carbon tubes have a much bigger size, with a diameter of between 40 and 100 mu m and a length in the range of centimeters. Significantly, the walls of the colossal tubes are composed of macroscopic rectangular columnar pores and exhibit an ultralow density comparable to that of carbon nanofoams. The porous walls of colossal tubes also show a highly ordered lamellar structure similar to that of graphite. Furthermore, colossal tubes possess excellent mechanical and electrical properties.

AB A large exchange splitting of the conduction band in ultrathin films of the ferromagnetic semiconductor EuO was determined quantitatively, by using EuO as a tunnel barrier and fitting the current-voltage characteristics and temperature dependence to tunneling theory. This exchange splitting leads to different tunnel barrier heights for spin-up and spin-down electrons and is large enough to produce a near-fully spin-polarized current. Moreover, the magnetic properties of these ultrathin films (< 6 nm) show a reduction in Curie temperature with decreasing thickness, in agreement with theoretical calculation.

AB Spectrally resolved scattering of ultrafast K-alpha x- rays has provided experimental validation of the modeling of the compression and heating of shocked matter. The elastic scattering component has characterized the evolution and coalescence of two shocks launched by a nanosecond laser pulse into lithium hydride with an unprecedented temporal resolution of 10 picoseconds. At shock coalescence, we observed rapid heating to temperatures of 25,000 kelvin when the scattering spectra show the collective plasmon oscillations that indicate the transition to the dense metallic plasma state. The plasmon frequency determines the material compression, which is found to be a factor of 3, thereby reaching conditions in the laboratory relevant for studying the physics of planetary formation.

AB We have designed, fabricated, and tested five piezoresistive cantilever configurations to investigate the effect of shape and piezoresistor placement on the sensitivity of microcantilevers under both point loading and surface stress loading. The experimental study reveals that: (1) high aspect ratio cantilevers that are much longer than they are wide are optimal for point-loading applications such as microscopy and force measurements; (2) low aspect ratio cantilevers that are short and wide are optimal for surface stress-loading scenarios such as those that occur in biological and chemical sensor applications. The sensitivity data for both point loads and surface stress are consistent with previously developed finite-element models. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Surface properties can markedly affect the mechanical behavior of structural thin films used in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) applications. This study highlights the striking difference in the sidewall surface morphology of n(+)-type polysilicon films from two popular MEMS processes and its effect on fracture and fatigue properties. The sidewall surface roughness was measured using atomic force microscopy, whereas silicon oxide thickness and grain size were measured using (energy-filtered) transmission electron microscopy. These measurements show that the oxide layers are not always thin native oxides, as often assumed; moreover, the roughness of the silicon/silicon oxide interface is significantly influenced by the oxidation mechanism. Thick silicon oxides (20 +/- 5 nm) found in PolyMUMPs (TM) films are caused by galvanic corrosion from the presence of gold on the chip, whereas in SUMMiT V (TM) films a much thinner (3.5 +/- 1.0nm) native oxidewas observed. The thicker oxide layers, in combination with differences in sidewall roughness (14 +/- 5 nm for PolyMUMPs (TM) and 10 +/- 2 nm for SUMMiTV (TM)), can have a significant effect on the reliability of polysilicon structures subjecting to bending loads; this is shown by measurements of the fracture strength(3.8 +/- 0.3 GPa for PolyMUMPs (TM) and 4.8 +/- 0.2 GPa for SUMMiT V (TM)) and differences in the stress-lifetime cyclic fatigue behavior.

AB Li-ion battery anodes fabricated from crystalline MoO3 nanoparticles display an anomalous reversible capacity of 630 mAhg(-1) when cycled at high rate. The nanoparticle anodes show no degradation in capacity for 150 cycles, where micron sized MoO3 particles are shown to fail after several cycles. Theoretical calculations elucidate the Li-ion intercalation mechanism and explain the reversible capacity.

AB Facile synthesis of a series of thermoelectrically relevant AgPbmSbTem+2 (m = 1-18) nanoparticles (see figure) is carried out by using a colloidal synthetic route. As-synthesized nanocrystals are spherical in geometry and adopt a cubic NaCl-type structure.

AB This study outlines gas characteristics along the southeastern margins of the Illinois Basin and evaluates regional versus local gas variations in Seelyville and Springfield coal beds. Our findings suggest that high permeability and shallow (100-250 m) depths of these Indiana coals allowed inoculation with methanogenic microbial consortia, thus leading to widespread microbial methane generation along the eastern marginal part of the Illinois Basin. Low maturity coals in the Illinois Basin with a vitrinite reflectance R-o similar to 0.6% contain significant amounts of coal gas (similar to 3 m(3)/t, 96 scf/t) with >= 97 vol.% microbial methane. The amount of coal gas can vary significantly within a coal seam both in a vertical seam section as well as laterally from location to location. Therefore sampling of an entire core section is required for accurate estimates of coal gas reserves. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB In an attempt to characterize the state interactions near the dissociation energy of singlet methylene, the near ultraviolet band system of singlet methylene has been studied using a laser optical-optical double resonance scheme. Spectra terminating in several, previously unobserved, higher bending levels of the (c) over tilde (1)A(1) state have been detected. The highest energy band has simple rotational structure with lifetime broadened lines and is observed near 32300 cm(-1), which is 500 cm-1 above the current best estimate for the singlet bond dissociation energy to CH((2)Pi) + H(S-2). Two lower energy bands exhibit a proliferation of rotationally-labeled double-resonance lines in the vicinity of the bright (c) over tilde (0,12,0) and (c) over tilde (0,13,0) bending levels, indicating that at least 7 and 9 strongly coupled vibronic states participate in each of these bands, respectively. The additional states may be associated with kinks in the adiabatic E state potential along the asymmetric stretching coordinate associated with interactions among (c) over tilde (1)A', (a) over tilde (1)A', and 3(1)A' states, as described by Ostojic (J. Mol. Spectrosc. 2002, 212, 130). There is no evidence for lifetime broadening below the singlet dissociation energy; hence we conclude that coupling of spectroscopically accessible singlet CH2 levels to the triplet manifold is very small.

AB This work provides experimental evidence on how the molecular compositions of fuel-rich low-pressure premixed flames are influenced as the oxygenates dimethyl ether (DME) or ethanol are incrementally blended into the propene fuel. Ten different flames with a carbon-to-oxygen ratio of 0.5, ranging from 100% propene (phi = 1.5) to 100% oxygenated fuel (phi = 2.0), are analyzed with flame-sampling molecular-beam mass spectrometry employing electron- or photoionization. Absolute mole fraction profiles for flame species with masses ranging from m/z = 2(H-2) to m/z = 80 (C6H8) are analyzed with particular emphasis on the formation of harmful emissions. Fuel-specific destruction pathways, likely to be initiated by hydrogen abstraction, appear to lead to benzene from propene combustion and to formaldehyde and acetaldehyde through DME and ethanol combustion, respectively. While the concentration of acetaldehyde increases 10-fold as propene is substituted by ethanol, it decreases as propene is replaced with DME. In contrast, the formaldehyde concentration rises only slightly with ethanol replacement but increases markedly with addition of DME. Allyl and propargyl radicals, the dominant precursors for benzene formation, are likely to be produced directly from propene decomposition or via allene and propyne. Benzene formation through propargyl radicals formed via unsaturated C-2 intermediates in the decomposition of DME and ethanol is negligibly small. As a consequence, DME and ethanol addition lead to similar reductions of the benzene concentration.

AB The absolute photoionization cross-section of the methyl radical has been measured using two completely independent methods. The CH3 photoionization cross-section was determined relative to that of acetone and methyl vinyl ketone at photon energies of 10.2 and 11.0 eV by using a pulsed laser-photolysis/time-resolved synchrotron photoionization mass spectrometry method. The time-resolved depletion of the acetone or methyl vinyl ketone precursor and the production of methyl radicals following 193 nm photolysis are monitored simultaneously by using time-resolved synchrotron photoionization mass spectrometry. Comparison of the initial methyl signal with the decrease in precursor signal, in combination with previously measured absolute photoionization cross-sections of the precursors, yields the absolute photoionization cross-section of the methyl radical; sigma(CH)(10.2 eV) = (5.7 +/- 0.9) x 10(-18) cm(2) and sigma(CH3)(11.0 eV) = (6.0 +/- 2.0) x 10(-18) cm(2). The photoionization cross-section for vinyl radical determined by photolysis of methyl vinyl ketone is in good agreement with previous measurements. The methyl radical photoionization cross-section was also independently measured relative to that of the iodine atom by comparison of ionization signals from CH3 and 1 frauments following 266 nm photolysis of methyl iodide in a molecular-beam ion-imaging apparatus. These measurements gave a cross-section of (5.4 +/- 2.0) x 10(-18) cm(2) at 10.460 eV, (5.5 +/- 2.0) x 10(-18) cm(2) at 10.466 eV, and (4.9 +/- 2.0) x 10(-18) cm(2) at 10.471 eV. The measurements allow relative photoionization efficiency spectra of methyl radical to be placed on an absolute scale and will facilitate quantitative measurements of methyl concentrations by photoionization mass spectrometry.

AB Time-resolved single-nanoparticle spectroscopy has been carried out to examine the luminescence characteristics of individual CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots. In particular, the possible correlations between emission intensity, lifetime, spectrum, and polarization fluctuations have been investigated. The emission polarization was found to be correlated with the luminescence intensity in a nonlinear way. The low-emissive states were found to correlate with red-shifted spectrum, increased nonradiative decay, and low degree of emission polarization. The observations are consistent with the model that charged quantum dots can be emissive.

AB Helium droplets doped with Xe and Kr atoms were photoionized by using VUV synchrotron radiation from the Advanced Light Source and the resulting photoelectron images were measured. A wide range of He droplet sizes, photon energies, and dopant pick-up conditions was investigated. Significant ionization of dopants was observed at 21.6 eV, the absorption maximum of 2p P-1(1) electronic excited state of He droplets, indicating an indirect ionization mechanism via excitation transfer. The photoelectron images and spectra reveal multiple photoionization mechanisms and pathways for the photoelectrons to escape the droplet. Specifically, they show sets of sharp peaks assigned to two mechanisms for Penning ionization of the dopant by He* in which the photoelectrons leave the droplet with no detectable energy loss, a broad, intense feature representing electrons that undergo significant energy loss, and a small amount of ultraslow electrons that may result from electron trapping at the droplet surface. The droplet-size dependence of the broad, intense feature suggests the development of the conduction band edge in the largest droplets seen here (< N > approximate to 250,000).

AB Product channels for the self-reaction of the resonance-stabilized allyl radical, C3H5 + C3H5, have been studied with isomeric specificity at temperatures from 300-600 K and pressures from 1-6 Torr using time-resolved multiplexed photoionization mass spectrometry. Under these conditions 1.5-hexadiene was the only C6H10 product isomer detected. The lack of isomerization of the C6H10 product is in marked contrast to the C6H6 product in the related C3H3 + C3H3 reaction, and is due to the more saturated electronic structure of the C6H10 system. The disproportionation product channel, yielding allene + propene, was also detected, with an upper limit on the branching fraction relative to recombination of 0.03. Analysis of the allyl radical decay at 298 K yielded a total rate coefficient of (2.7 +/- 0.8) x 10(-11) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1), in good agreement with previous experimental measurements using ultraviolet kinetic absorption spectroscopy and a recent theoretical determination using variable reaction coordinate transition state theory. This result provides independent indirect Support for the literature value of the allyl radical ultraviolet absorption cross-section near 223 nm.

AB By combining a state-of-the-art high-harmonic ultrafast soft X-ray source with field-free dynamic alignment, we map the angular dependence of molecular photoionization yields for the first time for a nondissociative molecule. The observed modulation in ion yield as a function of molecular alignment is attributed to the molecular frame transition dipole moment of single-photon ionization to the X. A and B states of N-2(+) and CO2+. Our data show that the transition dipoles for single-photon ionization of N-2 and CO2 at 43 eV have larger perpendicular components than parallel ones. A direct comparison with published theoretical partial wave ionization cross-sections confirms these experimental observations, which are the first results to allow such comparison with theory for bound cation states. The results provide the first step toward a novel method for measuring molecular frame transition dipole matrix elements.

AB In this article we analyze quantitatively and discuss in detail a number of reactions that take place on a C3H5 potential. These reactions include the reaction of hydrogen atoms with allene and propyne, the reaction of methyl with acetylene, the isomerization of cyclopropyl to allyl, and the dissociation of allyl, 1-propenyl, and 2-propenyl. The theory employs high-level electronic-structure methods to characterize the potential energy surface, RRKM theory to calculate microcanonical, J-resolved rate coefficients, and master-equation methods to determine phenomenological rate coefficients, k(T,p). The agreement between our theory and the experimental results available is very good. The final theoretical results are cast in a form that is convenient for use in chemical kinetics modeling.

AB In this work, we report on the vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) photoionization of small methanol and methanol-water clusters. Clusters of methanol with water are generated via co-expansion of the gas phase constituents in a continuous supersonic jet expansion of methanol and water seeded in Ar. The resulting clusters are investigated by single photon ionization with tunable vacuum-ultraviolet synchrotron radiation and mass analyzed using reflectron mass spectrometry. Protonated methanol clusters of the form (CH3OH)(n)H+ (n = 1-12) dominate the mass spectrum below the ionization energy of the methanol monomer. With an increase in water concentration, small amounts of mixed Clusters of the form (CH3OH)(n)(H2O)H+ (n = 2-11) are detected. The only unprotonated species observed in this work are the methanol monomer and dimer. Appearance energies are obtained from the photoionization efficiency (PIE) curves for CH3OH+, (CH3OH)(2)(+), (CH3OH)(n)H+ (n = 1-9), and (CH3OH)(n)(H2O)H+ (n = 2-9) as a function of photon energy. With an increase in the water content in the molecular beam, there is an enhancement of photoionization intensity for the methanol dimer and protonated methanol monomer at threshold. These results are compared and contrasted to previous experimental observations.

AB The reactions of singlet methylene (a(1)A(1) (CH2)-C-1) with hydrogen and deuterium have been studied by experimental and theoretical techniques. The rate coefficients for the removal of singlet methylene with H-2 (k(1)) and D-2 (k(2)) have been measured from 195 to 798 K and are essentially temperature-independent with values of k(1) = (10.48 +/- 0.32) x 10(-11) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) and k(2) = (5.98 +/- 0.34) x 10(-11) cm(3) niolecule(-1) s(-1), where the errors represent 2 sigma, giving a ratio of k(1)/k(2) = 1.75 +/- 0.11. In the reaction with H2, singlet methylene can be removed by reaction giving CH3 + H or deactivated to ground-state triplet methylene. Direct measurement of the H atom product showed that the fraction of relaxation decreased from 0.3 at 195 K to essentially zero at 398 K. For the reaction with deuterium, either H or D may be eliminated. Experimentally, the H:D ratio was determined to be 1.8 +/- 0.5 over the range 195-398 K. Theoretically, the reaction kinetics has been predicted with variable reaction coordinate transition state theory and with rigid-body trajectory simulations employing various high-level, ab initio-determined potential energy surfaces. The magnitudes of the calculated rate coefficients are in agreement with experiment, but the calculations show a significant negative temperature dependence that is not observed in the experimental results. The calculated and experimental H to D ratios from the reaction of singlet methylene with D-2 are in good agreement, suggesting that the reaction proceeds entirely through the formation of a long-lived methane intermediate with a statistical distribution of energy.

AB Photoionization efficiency curves were measured for gas-phase PtC, PtO, and PtO, using tunable vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation at the Advanced Light Source. The molecules were prepared by laser ablation of a platinum tube, followed by reaction with CH4 or NO and supersonic expansion. These measurements provide the first directly measured ionization energy for PtC, IE(PtC) = 9.45 +/- 0.05 eV. The direct measurement also gives greatly improved ionization energies for the platinum oxides, IE(PtO) = 10.0 +/- 0.1 eV and FE(PtO2) = 11.35 +/- 0.05 eV. The ionization energy connects the dissociation energies of the neutral and cation, leading to greatly improved 0 K bond dissociation energies for the neutrals: D-0(Pt-C) = 5.95 +/- 0.07 eV, D-0(Pt-O) = 4.30 +/- 0.12 eV, and D-0(OPt-O) = 4.41 +/- 0.13 eV, as well as enthalpies of formation for the gas-phase molecules Delta H-f.0(0)(PtC(g)) = 701 +/- 7 kJ/mol, Delta H-f.0(0)(PtO(g)) = 396 +/- 12 kJ/mol, and Delta H-f.0(0)(PtO2(g)) = 218 +/- 11 kJ/mol. Much of the error in previous Knudsen cell measurements of platinum oxide bond dissociation energies is due to the use of thermodynamic second law extrapolations. Third law values calculated using statistical mechanical thermodynamic functions are in much better agreement with values obtained from ionization energies and ion energetics. These experiments demonstrate that laser ablation production with direct VUV ionization measurements is a versatile tool to measure ionization energies and bond dissociation energies for catalytically interesting species such as metal oxides and carbides.

AB Fragmentation of protonated RVYIHPF and RVYIHPF-OMe and the corresponding radical cations was studied using time- and collision energy-resolved surface-induced dissociation (SID) in a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (FT-ICR MS) specially equipped to perform SID experiments. Peptide radical cations were produced by gas-phase fragmentation of Co-III (salen)-peptide complexes. Both the energetics and the mechanisms of dissociation of even-electron and odd-electron angiotensin III ions are quite different. Protonated molecules are much more stable toward fragmentation than the corresponding radical cations. RRKM modeling of the experimental data suggests that this stability is largely attributed to differences in threshold energies for dissociation, while activation entropies are very similar. Detailed analysis of the experimental data obtained for radical cations demonstrated the presence of two distinct structures separated by a high free-energy barrier. The two families of structures were ascribed to the canonical and zwitterionic forms of the radical cations produced in our experiments.

AB We use full-dimensional classical trajectories to study how reaction probabilities for the D + H-2 --> DH + H reaction are altered when the system is confined to move within various-sized carbon nanotubes (CNTs). This study focuses on D atoms initially moving parallel to the long axis of the tube. We compare our results with standard gas-phase reaction probabilities. Enhanced reaction probabilities are found for the smaller diameter CNTs, and slight quenching is found for the largest diameter CNT studied. These results are also consistent with those of a reduced-dimensional, quantum study. The origins of the confinement effects are discussed in terms of how the CNT modifies the H-2 reactant state and of the modified forces experienced by the incoming D atom.

AB Single-walled aluminosilicate nanotubes are attractive materials for construction of nanofluidic devices. They have a well-defined structure, a hydrophilic interior with periodic wide and narrow regions, precisely tunable length and diameter, and a functionalizable interior for tuning mass transport and adsorption properties. We report a computational and experimental investigation that highlights the unique adsorption and diffusive water transport properties of these nanotubes. Axial self-diffusivities of water molecules (at loadings ranging from near-infinite dilution to near-saturation) are calculated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, whereas adsorption properties are computed with grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations and are also compared to experimental data. The transport diffusivities are evaluated through the Darken approximation. Water transport in these nanotubes at room temperature was observed to occur via Fickian diffusion. The self-diffusivity decreases with an increase in water content,. whereas the transport diffusivity exhibited a maximum at intermediate water content. The diffusivities were comparable to the diffusivity of bulk liquid water and hence are considerably higher than in other nanoporous aluminosilicates such as zeolites. The computed adsorption isotherms exhibited inflections at low partial pressures (similar to 6 mm Hg) with a large fraction of adsorption occurring in the pores of the nanotube displaying remarkable hydrophilicity. As a combined result of the relatively fast Fickian diffusion of water, hydrophilicity of the nanotubes, and short nanotube lengths, the diffusive water flux through an aluminosilicate nanotube film is predicted to be quite high (10(2)-10(3) mol m(-2) s(-1)), even at very low pressure differentials across the membrane.

AB This research addresses a comprehensive particle-based simulation study of the structural, dynamic, and electronic properties of the liquid-vapor interface of methanol utilizing both ab initio (based on density functional theory) and empirical (fixed charge) models. Numerous properties such as interfacial width, hydrogen bond populations, dipole moments, and correlation times are characterized with identical schemes to draw useful conclusions on the strengths and weakness of the proposed models for the interface of neat methanol. Our findings indicate that all models considered in this study yield similar results for the radial distribution functions, hydrogen bond populations, and orientational relaxation times. Significant differences in the models appear when examining both the dipole moments and surface relaxation near the liquid-vapor interface. Here, the density functional theory interaction potential predicts a significant decrease in the molecular dipole moment and slight expansion in the oxygen-oxygen distance as the interface is approached.

ID TOP-QUARK PRODUCTION; PRODUCTION CROSS-SECTION; EVENTS; DETECTOR
AB We present a search for a narrow-width heavy resonance decaying into top quark pairs (X -> t (t) over bar) in p (p) over bar collisions at root s = 1.96 TeV using approximately 0.9 fb(-1) of data collected with the DO detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. This analysis considers t (t) over bar candidate events in the lepton plus jets channel with at least one identified b jet and uses the t (t) over bar invariant mass distribution to search for evidence of resonant production. We find no evidence for a narrow resonance X decaying to t (t) over bar. Therefore, we set upper limits on sigma x center dot B(X -> t (t) over bar) for different hypothesized resonance masses using a Bayesian approach. For a Topcolor-assisted technicolor model, the existence of a leptophobic Z' boson with mass M-Z' < 700 GeV and width Gamma(Z') = 0.012M(Z') can be excluded at the 95% C.L. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

AB We show that the QCD color transparency of higher-twist contributions to inclusive hadroproduction cross sections, where baryons are produced directly in a short-distance subprocess, can explain several remarkable features of high-p(T) baryon production in heavy ion collisions which have recently been observed at RHIC: (a) the anomalous increase of the proton-to-pion ratio with centrality, (b) the increased power-law fall-off at fixed X-T = 2p(T) / root s of the charged particle production cross section in high centrality nuclear collisions, and (c) the anomalous decrease of the number of same-side hadrons produced in association with a proton trigger as the centrality increases. We show that correlations between opposite-side hyperons and kaons can provide a clear signature of higher-twist contributions. These phenomena emphasize the importance of understanding hadronization at the amplitude level in QCD illustrate how heavy ion collisions can provide sensitive tools for interpreting and testing fundamental properties of QCD.

AB A collection of MATLAB classes for computing and using spherical harmonic transforms is presented. Methods of these classes compute differential operators on the sphere and are used to solve simple partial differential equations in a spherical geometry. The spectral synthesis and analysis algorithms using fast Fourier transforms and Legendre transforms with the associated Legendre functions are presented in detail. A set of methods associated with a spectral field class provides spectral approximation to the differential operators. del(.), del x, del, and del(2) in spherical geometry. Laplace inversion and Helmholtz equation solvers are also methods for this class. The use of the class and methods in MATLAB is demonstrated by the solution of the barotropic vorticity equation on the sphere. A survey of alternative algorithms is given and implementations for parallel high performance computers are discussed in the context of global climate and weather models.

AB Nanomaterials (NM) exhibit novel physicochemical properties that determine their interaction with biological substrates and processes. Three metal oxide nanoparticles that are currently being produced in high tonnage, TiO2 ZnO, and CeO2 were synthesized by flame spray pyrolysis process and compared in a mechanistic study to elucidate the physicochemical characteristics that determine cellular uptake, subcellular localization, and toxic effects based on a test paradigm that was originally developed for oxidative stress and cytotoxicity in RAW 264.7 and BEAS-2B cell lines. ZnO induced toxicity in both cells, leading to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxidant injury, excitation of inflammation, and cell death. Using ICP-MS and fluorescent-labeled ZnO, it is found that ZnO dissolution could happen in culture medium and endosomes. Nondissolved ZnO nanoparticles enter caveolae in BEAS-2B but enter lysosomes in RAW 264.7 cells in which smaller particle remnants dissolve. In contrast, fluorescent-labeled CeO2 nanoparticles were taken up intact into caveolin-1 and LAMP-1 positive endosomal compartments, respectively, in BEAS-2B and RAW 264.7 cells, without inflammation or cytotoxicity. Instead, CeO2 suppressed ROS production and induced cellular resistance to an exogenous source of oxidative stress. Fluorescent-labeled TiO2 was processed by the same uptake pathways as CeO2 but did not elicit any adverse or protective effects. These results demonstrate that metal oxide nanoparticles induce a range of biological responses that vary from cytotoxic to cytoprotective and can only be properly understood by using a tiered test strategy such as we developed for oxidative stress and adapted to study other aspects of nanoparticle toxicity.

AB The influence of excitation wavelength and embedding media on fluorescence blinking statistics of 4 nm x 20 nm cadmium selenide(CdSe) nanorods is investigated. Photon antibunching (PAB) experiments confirm nonclassical emission from single CdSe nanorods that exhibit a radiative lifetime of 26 +/- 13 ns. The blinking data show behaviors that can be categorized into two classes: excitation near the energy of the band gap and at energies exceeding 240 meV above the band gap. Excitation at the band gap energy (lambda >= 560 nm) results in more pronounced "on" time probabilities in the distribution of "on" and "off" events, while those resulting from excitation exceeding the band gap by 240 meV or more (lambda <= 560 nm) are 200 times less likely to display continuous "on" fluorescence persisting beyond 4 s. The "off" time statistics are also sensitive to the excitation wavelength, showing a similar, but inversely correlated, effect. To understand better the excitation-wavelength dependence, fluorescence measurements are obtained for single nanorods deposited both on a bare microscope coverslip and embedded in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidizolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL). The embedding RTIL medium has a significant influence on the resultant fluorescence statistics only when the excitation energy exceeds the 240 meV threshold. The results are explained by a threshold to access nonemissive trap states, attributed to self-trapping of hot charge carriers at the higher photon excitation energies.

AB The title compound, [Zn(4)(C(2)H(2)N(3))(3)(NCS)(3)S](n), is a three-dimensional coordination polymer consisting of tetrahedral SZn(4) clusters bridged by triazole ligands. In the tetrahedral unit, three Zn atoms are connected to six bridging triazolate ligands, whereas the fourth Zn atom (site symmetry 3m) is bonded to three terminal thiocyanate anions that protrude into the void space created by the Zn-triazolate network. The network prototype is simple cubic, but a strong distortion along a body diagonal and the imposition of a polar direction by the arrangement of the molecular constituents lead to the trigonal space group R3m. This study demonstrates the use of the 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole ligand as an effective source for sulfide ions in the synthesis of sulfide-based coordination polymers.

AB The X-ray crystal structure of the 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase (PTPS) homolog from Streptomyces coelicolor, SCO 6650, was solved at 1.5 angstrom resolution. SCO 6650 forms a hexameric T-fold that closely resembles other PTPS proteins. The biological activity of SCO 6650 is unknown, but it lacks both a required active-site zinc metal ion and the essential catalytic triad and does not catalyze the PTPS reaction. However, SCO 6650 maintains active-site residues consistent with binding a pterin-like substrate.

AB Solidification of single-crystal nickel-base superalloys introduces large-scale segregation of constituent elements and defects such as dislocations and mosaicity. By exploiting the energy tunability and interference capabilities of high-brilliance X-ray radiation, key structural features of the dendritic single crystals were mapped over large areas. Interference and diffraction of synchrotron X-rays revealed significant misorientations between individual dendrites in the as-solidified state. For the first time this mosaic structure was quantified for an array of dendrites and correlated with the density of "grown-in" dislocations whose density ranged from 10(7) to 10(8) cm(-2). Absorption contrast permitted simultaneous mapping of the distribution of refractory metal additives (e.g. rhenium and tungsten), which segregated preferentially to the dendrite cores with a linear composition gradient toward the interdendritic regions. The results demonstrate that synchrotron X-ray imaging is promising for in situ studies of single-crystal structure and defects in nickel-base superalloys. (C) 2008 Acta Materialia Inc.

AB This paper reports on the pseudoelastic, isothermal mechanical cycling of copper-aluminium-nickel single-crystals. It was found that stress-free transformation temperatures at the end of 1000 stress cycles did not change, whereas the transformation stresses decreased by about 10%; otherwise, the overall strain of 7% imposed during a loading cycle was completely recovered at the end of 1000 cycles. Noncontact multi-video extensometry uncovered a significant spatial non-uniformity in the maximum strains attained in different sections of the wire, At the end of the 1000th cycle. the top and bottom sections demonstrated very similar maximum strains while the midsection demonstrated lower strain. Phase quantification of the midsection of the wire using neutron diffraction demonstrated an increase in the stabilization of austenite from 0% in the first cycle to about 60% in the 1000th cycle. The specific nature of the tests required by neutron diffraction also uncovered a creep-like response of the SMA. Preliminary investigation suggests that this "pseudo-creep" is due to the motion of phase fronts during the phase transformation. Neutron diffraction has also confirmed that while the single crystallinity of the SMA is excellent at 175 degrees C, there is it spread in orientation of the cubic phase at 200 degrees C with respect to the axis of the wire that is estimated at 2.17 degrees. This spread disappears/reappears on mechanical loading/unloading, but decreases permanently on cyclic loading. (C) 2008 Acta Materialia Inc. published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB A NiAl-Mo eutectic was directionally solidified to produce composites with well-aligned single-crystal Mo-alloy fibers embedded in a NiAl matrix. They were pre-strained by compressing along the fiber axis and then the matrix was etched away to expose free-standing micropillars having different sizes (360-1400 nm) and different amounts of pre-strain (0-11%). Compression testing of the pillars revealed a variety of behaviors. At one extreme were the as-grown pillars (0%, pre-strain) which behaved like dislocation-free materials. with yield stresses approaching the theoretical strength, independent of pillar size. At the other extreme were pillars pre-strained 11%, which behaved like the bulk, with reproducible stress-strain curves, relatively low yield strengths, stable work-hardening and no size dependence. At intermediate pre-strains (4-8%), the stress-strain curves were stochastic and exhibited considerable scatter in strength. This scatter decreased with increasing pre-strain and pillar size, suggesting a transition front discrete to collective dislocation behavior. (C) 2008 Acta Materialia lnc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Atomic-level simulations are used to investigate the interaction of an edge dislocation with '100' interstitial dislocation loops in alpha-iron at 300 K. Dislocation reactions are studied systematically for different loop positions and Burgers vector orientations, and results are compared for two different interatomic potentials. Reactions are wide-ranging and complex, but can be described in terms of conventional dislocation reactions in which Burgers vector is conserved. The fraction of interstitials left behind after dislocation breakaway varies from 25 to 100%. The nature of the reactions requiring high applied stress for breakaway is identified. The obstacle strengths of '100' loops, 1/2'111' loops and voids containing the same number (169) of point defects are compared. (10 0) loops with Burgers vector parallel to the dislocation glide plane are slightly stronger than '100' and 1/2'111' loops with inclined Burgers vector: voids are about 30% weaker than the stronger loops. However, small voids are stronger than small 1/2'111' loops. The complexity of some reactions and the variety of obstacle strengths poses a challenge for the development of continuum models of dislocation behaviour in irradiated iron.

AB Strain-induced hardening and annealing-induced softening are typical in crystalline metals. Bulk metallic glasses (BMG) exhibit the opposite behavior, namely, strain-induced softening and annealing-induced hardening. In addition, reversible softening-hardening-softening occurs in a BMG subjected to a three-step deformation-annealing-deformation process. The hardness changes after deformation and annealing can be correlated with the shear band patterns around/underneath Vickers indents. Shear bands produced during indentation of as-cast BMG are semicircular and radial, consistent with the stress distribution beneath the indenter. In contrast, the shear bands in the pre-strained BMG are irregular and convoluted, and appear to be a mixture of the shear bands produced during the prior compression and those in the as-cast BMG. After annealing, the shear bands tend to recover their semicircular and radial shapes consistent with the annealing-induced hardening. (C) 2008 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Fluorous derivatives of dibenzo-18-crown-6 ether were readily prepared by means of metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, and then successfully applied as catalysts in representative solid-liquid phase transfer catalysis (PTC) reactions, which were performed in standard organic solvents, such as chlorobenzene and toluene, and also in fluorous solvents, such as perfluoro-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane (PFDMC). It was clearly shown that properly designed fluoroponytailed crown ethers can promote the disintegration of the crystal lattice of alkali salts and transfer anions from the solid surface into an apolar, non-coordinating perfluorocarbon phase. Far from being a simple chemical curiosity, this unprecedented observation has relevant implications in the design of PTC scenarios of wide applicability. This new paradigm represents an advance in crown ether chemistry, and their use as recyclable phase transfer catalysts.

AB Eddy covariance flux towers provide continuous measurements of net ecosystem carbon exchange (NEE) for a wide range of climate and biome types. However, these measurements only represent the carbon fluxes at the scale of the tower footprint. To quantify the net exchange of carbon dioxide between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere for regions or continents, flux tower measurements need to be extrapolated to these large areas. Here we used remotely sensed data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) instrument on board the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Terra satellite to scale up AmeriFlux NEE measurements to the continental scale. We first combined MODIS and AmeriFlux data for representative U.S. ecosystems to develop a predictive NEE model using a modified regression tree approach. The predictive model was trained and validated using eddy flux NEE data over the periods 2000-2004 and 2005-2006, respectively. We found that the model predicted NEE well (r = 0.73, p < 0.001). We then applied the model to the continental scale and estimated NEE for each 1 km x 1 km cell across the conterminous U.S. for each 8-day interval in 2005 using spatially explicit MODIS data. The model generally captured the expected spatial and seasonal patterns of NEE as deter-mined from measurements and the literature. Our study demonstrated that our empirical approach is effective for scaling up eddy flux NEE measurements to the continental scale and producing wall-to-wall NEE estimates across multiple biomes. Our estimates may provide an independent dataset from simulations with biogeochemical models and inverse modeling approaches for examining the spatiotemporal patterns of NEE and constraining terrestrial carbon budgets over large areas.

TI Efficient Global Reliability Analysis for Nonlinear Implicit Performance
Functions
SO AIAA JOURNAL
LA English
DT Article
ID STRUCTURAL RELIABILITY; APPROXIMATIONS; OPTIMIZATION; PROBABILITY
AB Many engineering applications are characterized by implicit response functions that are expensive to evaluate and sometimes nonlinear in their behavior, making reliability analysis difficult. This paper develops an efficient reliability analysis method that accurately characterizes the limit state throughout the random variable space. The method begins with a Gaussian process model built from a very small number of samples, and then adaptively chooses where to generate subsequent samples to ensure that the model is accurate in the vicinity of the limit state. The resulting Gaussian process model is then sampled using multimodal adaptive importance sampling to calculate the probability of exceeding (or failing to exceed) the response level of interest. By locating multiple points on or near the limit state, more complex and nonlinear limit states can be modeled, leading to more accurate probability integration. By concentrating the samples in the area where accuracy is important (i.e., in the vicinity of the limit state), only a small number of true function evaluations are required to build a quality surrogate model. The resulting method is both accurate for any arbitrarily shaped limit state and computationally efficient even for expensive response functions. This new method is applied to a collection of example problems including one that analyzes the reliability of a microelectromechanical system device that current available methods have difficulty solving either accurately or efficiently.

AB We examine oxygen-isotope exchanges in a nanometer-size oxide molecule in water and, separately, both its rates of dissociation and molecular products. This molecule, the decaniobate ion ([H(x),Nb(10)O(28)]((6-x)-)), is at the same size scale as geochemically interesting features on minerals, such as surface polymers and kink sites on growth steps, although it is structurally quite dissimilar. Unlike mineral surface structures, however, we have complete confidence in the aqueous structure of this molecule and it yields a clear spectroscopic signature as it reacts. We thus can follow proton-enhanced isotope exchanges and base-induced dissociation in unprecedented detail and clarity.
The results are surprising and require new thinking about geochemical reactions at the molecular scale. For example, base-induced dissociation of the molecule, which is unprotonated, causes rates of oxygen-isotope exchanges of all structural oxygens to accelerate dramatically. Similarly, protonation of the molecule causes sets of oxygens to react, although protonation is limited. In general, all reactions are via concerted motions of many atoms and the reactivities vary as though the entire structure was responding to changes in solution composition. The site reactivities could not be inferred from the stable structure of the decaniobate molecule because so much of the structure is involved in each exchange event. Thus, computational models must be structurally faithful to an extraordinary degree, and inherently dynamic, or they will miss the essential chemistry.

AB We have developed and field-tested a now operational civilian biodefense capability that continuously monitors the air in high-risk locations for biological threat agents. This stand-alone instrument, called the Autonomous Pathogen Detection System (APDS), collects and selectively concentrates particles from the air into liquid samples and analyzes the samples using multiplexed PCR amplification coupled with microsphere array detection. During laboratory testing, we evaluated the APDS instrument's response to Bacillus anthracis and Yersinia pestis by spiking the liquid sample stream with viable spores and cells, bead-beaten lysates, and purified DNA extracts. APDS results were also compared to a manual real-time PCR method. Field data acquired during 74 days of continuous operation at a mass-transit subway station are presented to demonstrate the specificity and reliability of the APDS. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security recently selected the APDS reported herein as the first autonomous detector component of their BioWatch anti-terrorism program. This sophisticated field-deployed surveillance capability now generates actionable data in one-tenth the time of manual filter collection and analysis.

AB Field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) has emerged as an analytical tool of broad utility, especially in conjunction with mass spectrometry. Of particular promise is the use of FAIMS and 2-D ion mobility methods that combine FAIMS with conventional IMS to resolve and characterize protein and other macromolecular conformers. However, FAIMS operation requires a strong electric field, and ions are inevitably heated by energetic collisions with buffer gas molecules. This may induce ion isomerization or dissociation, which distort the separation properties of FAIMS (and subsequent stages) or reduce instrumental sensitivity. As FAIMS employs a periodic waveform, whether those processes are controlled by ion temperature at maximum or average field intensity has been debated. Here we address this issue by measuring the unfolding of compact ubiquitin ion geometries as a function of waveform amplitude (dispersion field, E-D) and gas temperature, T. The field heating is quantified by matching the dependences of structural transitions on E-D and T: increasing E-D from 12 to 16 or from 16 to 20 kV/cm is equivalent to heating the (N-2) gas by similar to 15-25 degrees C. The magnitude of field heating for any E-D can be estimated using the two-temperature theory, and raising E-D by 4 kV/cm augments heating by similar to 15-30 degrees C for maximum and similar to 4-8 degrees C for average field in the FAIMS cycle. Hence, isomerization of ions in FAIMS appears to be determined by the excitation at waveform peaks.

SO ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY

DT Article
ID EFFICIENCY; PAIRS
AB It has been known for some time that correlated detection of pairs of photons generated by parametric down-conversion can eliminate several sources of error that occur in single-beam measurements. In the correlated photon measurements, the down-converted photons are separated into two beams with one photon of a pair in each beam. The absolute detection efficiency of a detector in one beam can be determined from the count rate of a detector in the other beam and the coincidence rate for the two detectors. These ideas can be used to measure the optical absorbance of a sample placed in front of one of the detectors. Errors due to stray light and dark counts are substantially reduced and fluctuations in pump intensity largely eliminated.

ID FABRICATION
AB We describe a contact printing approach for microarrays that uses fused-silica capillary tubes with tapered tips for printing pins and a pressure/vacuum system to control pin loading, printing, and cleaning. The printing process is insensitive to variable environmental factors such as humidity, and the small diameter of the pins allows routine printing from 1536 well source plates. Pin load capacity, 0.2 mu L in the current system, is adjustable by controlling pin length. More than 2000 spots can be printed per 0.2-mu L pin load (< 100 pl/spot), and densities of > 12 000 spots/cm(2) are readily achievable. Solutions with a wide range of viscosities and chemical properties can be printed. The system can print tens of thousands of different solutions at high speed, due to the ability to use large numbers of pins simultaneously, and can produce a large number of replicate arrays since all of the solution picked up by the pins is available for deposition.

AB We study whether an inverse modeling approach is applicable for characterizing vascular tissue subjected to various levels of internal pressure and axial stretch that approximate in-vivo conditions. To compensate for the limitation of axial-displacement/pressure/diameter data typical of clinical data, which does not provide information about axial force, we propose to constrain the ratio of axial to circumferential elastic moduli to a typical range. Vessel wall constitutive behavior is modeled with a transversely isotropic hyperelastic equation that accounts for dispersed collagen fibers. A single-layer and a bi-layer approximation to vessel ultrastructure are examined, as is the possibility of obtaining the fiber orientation as part of the optimization. Characterization is validated against independent pipette-aspiration biaxial data on the same samples. It was found that the single-layer model based on homogeneous wall assumption could not reproduce the validation data. In contrast, the constrained bi-layer model was in excellent agreement with both types of experimental data. Due to covariance, estimations of fiber angle were slightly outside of the normal range, which can be resolved by predefining the angles to normal values. Our approach is relatively invariant to a constant or a variable axial response. We believe that it is suitable for in-vivo characterization.

We studied the relationships between language presentation, A beta amyloidosis, and glucose metabolism in three PPA variants using [C-11]-Pittsburgh compound B ([C-11]PIB) and [F-18]-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ([F-18]FDG-PET).
Methods: Patients meeting PPA criteria (N = 15) were classified. as logopenic aphasia (LPA), progressive nonfluent aphasia (PNFA), or semantic dementia (SD) based on language testing. [C-11]PIB distribution volume ratios were calculated using Logan graphical analysis (cerebellar reference). [F-18]FDG images were normalized to Pons. Partial volume correction was applied.
Results: Elevated cortical PIB (by visual inspection) was more common in LPA (4/4 patients) than in PNFA (1/6) and SD (1/5) (p < 0.02). In PIB-positive PPA, PIB uptake was diffuse and indistinguishable from the pattern in matched AD patients (n = 10). FDG patterns were focal and varied by PPA subtype, with left temporoparietal hypometabolism in LPA, left frontal hypometabolism in PNFA, and left anterior temporal hypometabolism in SD. FDG uptake was significant asymmetric (favoring left hypometabolism) in PPA (p < 0.005) but not in AD.
Interpretation: LPA is associated with A beta amyloidosis, suggesting that subclassification of PPA based on language features can help predict the likelihood of AD pathology. Language phenotype in PPA is closely related to metabolic changes that are focal and anatomically distinct between subtypes, but not to amyloid deposition patterns that are diffuse and similar to AD.

AB In quadruple isotropic (QUADRISO) coated particles, a burnable absorber layer surrounds the fuel kernel; consequently, during irradiation, the poison depletion allows more neutrons to stream into the kernel and to produce more fission reactions that attenuate the reactivity loss due to fuel depletion. In our previous studies, we have proposed for the first time the novel concept of QUADRISO particles for managing the long term excess of reactivity and we have shown in details how the new concept flattens the reactivity curve as function of time compared to traditional designs of burnable absorbers. In the present study, we apply the new concept of QUADRISO particles for transmuting Light Water Reactors waste in a prismatic high temperature reactor. We simulated two irradiation periods of 500 and 200 days that allow to transmute over 95%, and 52% of (239)Pu and actinides, respectively, without any reprocessing of the irradiated fuel in-between. During the first irradiation period the high initial excess of reactivity is managed by the QUADRISO particles; during the second irradiation period, there is no need of QUADRISO particles because of the small initial fissile inventory in the core.

AB The Bacillus subtilis spore coat is a multilayer, proteinaceous structure that consists of more than 50 proteins. Located on the surface of the spore, the coat provides resistance to potentially toxic molecules as well as to predation by the protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila. When coat-defective spores are fed to Tetrahymena, the spores are readily digested. However, a residue termed a "rind" that looks like coat material remains. As observed with a phase-contrast microscope, the rinds are spherical or hemispherical structures that appear to be devoid of internal contents. Atomic force microscopy and chemical analyses showed that (i) the rinds are composed of insoluble protein largely derived from both outer and inner spore coat layers, (ii) the amorphous layer of the outer coat is largely responsible for providing spore resistance to protozoal digestion, and (iii) the rinds and intact spores do not contain significant levels of silicon.

AB Polaromonas sp. strain JS666 can grow on cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE) as a sole carbon and energy source and may be useful for bioremediation of chlorinated solvent-contaminated sites. Analysis of the genome sequence of JS666 (5.9 Mb) shows a bacterium well adapted to pollution that carries many genes likely to be involved in hydrocarbon and xenobiotic catabolism and metal resistance. Clusters of genes coding for haloalkane, haloalkanoate, n-alkane, alicyclic acid, cyclic alcohol, and aromatic catabolism were analyzed in detail, and growth on acetate, catechol, chloroacetate, cyclohexane carboxylate, cyclohexanol, ferulate, heptane, 3-hydroxybenzoate, hydroxyquinol, gentisate, octane, protocatechuate, and salicylate was confirmed experimentally. Strain JS666 also harbors diverse putative mobile genetic elements, including retrons, inteins, a miniature inverted-repeat transposable element, insertion sequence transposases from 14 families, eight genomic islands, a Mu family bacteriophage, and two large (338- and 360-kb) plasmids. Both plasmids are likely to be self-transferable and carry genes for alkane, alcohol, aromatic, and haloacid metabolism. Overall, the JS666 genome sequence provides insights into the evolution of pollutant-degrading bacteria and provides a toolbox of catabolic genes with utility for biotechnology.

AB Despite the ubiquity of ammonium in geothermal environments and the thermodynamic favorability of aerobic ammonia oxidation, thermophilic ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms belonging to the crenarchaeota kingdom have only recently been described. In this study, we analyzed microbial mats and surface sediments from 21 hot spring samples (pH 3.4 to 9.0; temperature, 41 to 86 degrees C) from the United States, China, and Russia and obtained 846 putative archaeal ammonia monooxygenase large-subunit (amoA) gene and transcript sequences, representing a total of 41 amoA operational taxonomic units (OTUs) at 2% identity. The amoA gene sequences were highly diverse, yet they clustered within two major clades of archaeal amoA sequences known from water columns, sediments, and soils: clusters A and B. Eighty-four percent (711/846) of the sequences belonged to cluster A, which is typically found in water columns and sediments, whereas 16% (135/846) belonged to cluster B, which is typically found in soils and sediments. Although a few amoA OTUs were present in several geothermal regions, most were specific to a single region. In addition, cluster A amoA genes formed geographic groups, while cluster B sequences did not group geographically. With the exception of only one hot spring, principal-component analysis and UPGMA (unweighted-pair group method using average linkages) based on the UniFrac metric derived from cluster A grouped the springs by location, regardless of temperature or bulk water pH, suggesting that geography may play a role in structuring communities of putative ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA). The amoA genes were distinct from those of low-temperature environments; in particular, pair-wise comparisons between hot spring amoA genes and those from sympatric soils showed less than 85% sequence identity, underscoring the distinctness of hot spring archaeal communities from those of the surrounding soil system. Reverse transcription-PCR showed that amoA genes were transcribed in situ in one spring and the transcripts were closely related to the amoA genes amplified from the same spring. Our study demonstrates the global occurrence of putative archaeal amoA genes in a wide variety of terrestrial hot springs and suggests that geography may play an important role in selecting different assemblages of AOA.

AB Simulations applied to hyperspectral imagery from the AVIRIS sensor are employed to quantitatively evaluate the performance of anomalous change detection algorithms. The evaluation methodology reflects the aim of these algorithms, which is to distinguish actual anomalous changes in a pair of images from the incidental differences that pervade the entire scene. By simulating both the anomalous changes and the pervasive differences, accurate and plentiful ground truth is made available, and statistical estimates of detection and false alarm rates can be made. Comparing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves that encapsulate these rates provides a way to identify which algorithms work best under which conditions.

AB Phase transformation of thin film (similar to 30 nm) In2Se3/Si(111) (amorphous. crystalline) was performed by resistive annealing and the reverse transformation (crystalline. amorphous) was performed by nanosecond laser annealing. As an intrinsic-vacancy, binary chalcogenide semiconductor, In2Se3 is of interest for non-volatile phase-change memory. Amorphous InxSey was deposited at room temperature on Si(111) after pre-deposition of a crystalline In2Se3 buffer layer (0.64 nm). Upon resistive annealing to 380 C, the film was transformed into a gamma-In2Se3 single crystal with its {0001} planes parallel to the Si(111) substrate and (1120) parallel to Si(110), as evidenced by scanning tunneling microscopy, low energy electron diffraction, and X-ray diffraction. Laser annealing with 20-ns pulses (0.1 millijoules/pulse, fluence <= 50 mJ/cm(2)) re-amorphized the region exposed to the laser beam, as observed with photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM). The amorphous phase in PEEM appears dark, likely due to abundant defect levels inhibiting electron emission from the amorphous InxSey film.

AB The isotope Lu-177 is used in nuclear medicine and biology for in vivo applications as a radioactive label of various targeting agents. To extend the availability of no-carrier added Lu-177, we investigated the feasibility of its production in a proton accelerator. Tantalum and Hf targets were irradiated and chemically processed to determine the radioisotope yield and cross-sections. The largest cross-sections (similar to 20 mb) were found for the Hf target at 195 MeV; however, the presence of co-produced Lu isotopes may limit the product applications. The results are in good agreement with theoretical data calculated using computer codes MCNPX and ORIGEN2S. Production of relevant medical isotopes such as Tm-167 and Yb-169 from the above targets is discussed as well. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB We have conducted experimental measurements to estimate the liquid penetration length of a diesel fuel jet injected into an inert environment. We analyzed the effects of the characteristic parameters, i.e., the nozzle diameter, discharge coefficient, injection pressure, and working fluid density. The transient fuel injection process was recorded using optical access, and the liquid penetration length before the second break-up regime was measured using the ombroscopy technique. The experimental data were subsequently fitted to a correlation that accurately predicts liquid penetration length at conditions typical of modern Heavy Duty common rail diesel engines operating with direct fuel injection. Astatistical analysis of our experimental measurements suggests a power function correlation to model the liquid penetration length. The proposed model is in good agreement with experimental data and yields a correlation coefficient R-2 = 93.3%. It is expected that this correlation can be of assistance in the successful designing of combustion chambers required by modern heavy duty diesel engines. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Aims. We report on X-ray observations of the supernova remnant 0509-67.5 in the Large Magellanic Cloud acquired by the XMM-Newton X-ray observatory. We use the imaging spectroscopy (EPIC) and Reflective Grating Spectrometer (RGS) data to investigate properties of the remnant and its environment.
Methods. The X-ray spectra were analyzed with SPEX software package. In addition, we performed a numerical hydrodynamic simulation of the remnant.
Results. The EPIC data show prominent Fe K line emission, but the deduced overall amount of iron in the shocked ejecta is low. The data also show that the remnant has an asymmetric ejecta structure: the bright southwest region of the remnant shows an overabundance of metals. The analysis of the RGS spectrum shows that the remnant has a high line velocity broadening of 5000 km s(-1). We developed a hydrodynamical model for the remnant with basic hydrodynamical and spectral parameters that are similar to those observed.
Conclusions. The data analysis indicates that the reverse shock just recently reached iron layers of the ejecta. The brightness enhancement in the southwest region could be a sign of an asymmetric explosion or it could be the result of a density enhancement in the interstellar medium. We constructed numerical models that are in good agreement with the observations, with circumstellar density of 3 x 10(-25) g/cm(3), age of similar to 400 years, velocities of similar to 5000 km s(-1), and an electron-to-ion temperature ratio of 10(-2).

AB We report on the environmental dependence of properties of galaxies around the RDCSJ0910+ 54 cluster at z = 1.1. We obtained multi-band wide-field images of the cluster with Suprime-Cam and MOIRCS on Subaru and WFCAM on UKIRT. Also, an intensive spectroscopic campaign was carried out using LRIS on Keck and FOCAS on Subaru. We collected 161 spectra with secure redshifts, with which we calibrated a larger sample of photometric redshifts. We discover a possible large-scale structure around the cluster in the form of three clumps of galaxies. Two out of the three newly discovered clumps of galaxies are detected as extended X-ray sources, suggesting that they are bound systems. There seem to be filaments of galaxies in between the clumps. This is potentially one of the largest structures found so far in the z > 1 Universe. We then examined stellar populations of galaxies in the structure. First, we quantified the color-radius relation. Red galaxies have already become the dominant population in the cores of rich clusters at z similar to 1, and the fraction of red galaxies has not strongly changed since then. The red fraction depends on the richness of clusters in the sense that it is higher in rich clusters than in poor groups. We confirm that this trend is not due to possible biases in photometric redshifts. Next, we examined red sequence galaxies. The luminosity function of red galaxies in rich clusters is consistent with one in local clusters. On the other hand, the luminosity function of red galaxies in poor groups shows a deficit of faint red galaxies. This confirms our earlier findings that galaxies follow an environment-dependent down-sizing evolution. Interestingly, the truncation magnitude of the red sequence appears brighter than found in the RDCS J1252-29 field at z = 1.24. This suggests that there is a large variation in the evolutionary phases of galaxies in groups with similar masses. Further studies of high redshift clusters will be a promising way of addressing the role of nature and nurture effects in shaping the environmental dependence of galaxy properties observed in the local Universe.

AB Measurements of double-differential charged pion production cross-sections in interactions of 12 GeV/c protons on O-2 and N-2 thin targets are presented in the kinematic range 0.5 GeV/c <= p(pi) < 8 GeV/c and 50 mrad <= 0(pi) < 250 mrad (in the laboratory frame) and are compared with p-C results. For p-N-2 (p-O-2) interactions the analysis is performed using 38576 (7522) reconstructed secondary pions. The analysis uses the beam instrumentation and the forward spectrometer of the HARP experiment at CERN PS. The measured cross-sections have a direct impact on the precise calculation of atmospheric neutrino fluxes and on the improved reliability of extensive air shower simulations by reducing the uncertainties of hadronic interaction models in the low energy range. In particular, the present results allow the common hypothesis that p-C data can be used to predict the p-N-2 and p-O-2 pion production cross-sections to be tested. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

AB The application of superheated droplet detectors (SDDs) to dark matter searches has so far been confined to the light nuclei refrigerants C2CIF5 and C4F10 (SIMPLE and PICASSO, respectively), with a principle sensitivity to spin-dependent interactions. Given the competitive results of these devices, as a result of their intrinsic insensitivity to backgrounds, we have developed a prototype trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I)-loaded SDD with increased sensitivity to spin-independent interactions as well. A low (0.102 kgd) exposure test operation of two high concentration, I I devices is described, and the results compared with leading experiments in both spin-dependent and -independent sectors. Although competitive in both sectors when the difference in exposures is accounted for, a problem with fracturing of the detector gel must be addressed before significantly larger exposures can be envisioned.

AB We present results obtained from a series of observations of the supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 by Suzaku. Hard X-rays have been detected up to similar to 40 keV. The hard X-ray spectra are described by a power law with photon indices of similar to 3.0, which is larger than those below 10 keV. The combination of the spatially integrated XIS and HXD spectra clearly reveals a spectral cutoff which is linked to the maximum energy of accelerated electrons. The broad-band coverage of Suzaku allows us to derive, for the first time, the energy spectrum of parent electrons in the cutoff region. The cutoff energy in the X-ray spectrum indicates that the electron acceleration in the remnant proceeds close to the Bohm diffusion limit. We discuss the implications of the spectral and morphological properties of the Suzaku data in the context of the origin of nonthermal emission. The Suzaku X-ray and H.E.S.S. gamma-ray data together hardly can be explained within a pure leptonic scenario. Moreover, the leptonic models require a weak magnetic field, which is inconsistent with the recently discovered X-ray filamentary structures and their short-term variability. The hadronic models with strong magnetic fields provide reasonable fits to the observed spectra, but require special arrangements of parameters to explain the lack of thermal X-ray emission. For morphology studies, we compare the X-ray and TeV gamma-ray surface brightness. We confirm the previously reported strong correlation between X-rays and TeV gamma rays. At the same time, the Suzaku data reveal a deviation from the general tendency, namely, the X-ray emission in the western rims appears brighter than expected from the average X-ray to gamma-ray ratio.

AB In 2006 March the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1900+14 resumed its bursting activity after similar to 2 yr of quiescence. The Swift mission observed the source several times. We report on the intense burst "forest'' recorded on March 29, which lasted for similar to 30 s, when Swift was pointing at the source with the narrow field of view instruments. More than 40 bursts were detected by BAT and XRT, 7 of which were rare intermediate flares (IFs). The BAT data were used to carry out time-resolved spectroscopy in the 14-100 keV range down to 8 ms timescales. BAT and XRT simultaneous data were used to characterize the broadband energy spectra of IFs and verify the results obtained from the BAT-only spectral fits. This unique data set allowed us to test the magnetar model predictions, such as the magnetically trapped fireball and twisted magnetosphere, over an unprecedented range of fluxes and with large statistics. We confirmed that a two-blackbody component adequately fits the time-resolved and integrated spectra of IFs. However, Comptonization models give comparably good reduced chi(2). Moreover, we found a change of behavior, around similar to 10(41) erg s(-1), above which the softer blackbody shows a sort of saturation, while the harder one still grows to a few times 10(41) erg s(-1), and a rather sharp correlation between temperature and radii of the blackbodies (R-2 proportional to kT(-3)), which holds for the most luminous parts of the flares (similar to L-tot >= 10(41) erg s(-1)). Within the magnetar model, the majority of these findings are accounted for in terms of thermalized emission from the E-mode and O-mode photospheres. Interestingly, the maximum observed luminosity coming from a region of similar to 15 km matches the magnetic Eddington luminosity at the same radius, for a surface dipole field of similar to 8 x 10(14) G (virtually equal to that deduced from the spin-down of SGR 1900+14).

AB Proton-rich material in a state of nuclear statistical equilibrium (NSE) is one of the least studied regimes of nucleosynthesis. One reason for this is that after hydrogen burning, stellar evolution proceeds at conditions of an equal number of neutrons and protons or at a slight degree of neutron-richness. Proton-rich nucleosynthesis in stars tends to occur only when hydrogen-rich material that accretes onto a white dwarf or a neutron star explodes, or when neutrino interactions in the winds from a nascent proto-neutron star or collapsar disk drive the matter proton-rich prior to or during the nucleosynthesis. In this Letter we solve the NSE equations for a range of proton-rich thermodynamic conditions. We show that cold proton-rich NSE is qualitatively different from neutron-rich NSE. Instead of being dominated by the Fe-peak nuclei with the largest binding energy per nucleon that have a proton-to-nucleon ratio close to the prescribed electron fraction, NSE for proton-rich material near freezeout temperature is mainly composed of (56)Ni and free protons. Previous results of nuclear reaction network calculations rely on this nonintuitive high-proton abundance, which this Letter explains. We show how the differences and especially the large fraction of free protons arises from the minimization of the free energy as a result of a delicate competition between the entropy and nuclear binding energy.

AB Results from the first 2 years of data from the Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) are presented. Stars have been monitored photometrically at 4 or 5 Hz to search for occultations by small (similar to 3 km) Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs). No statistically significant events were found, allowing us to present an upper bound to the size distribution of KBOs with diameters 0.5 km < D < 28 km.

AB In this paper we investigate the results of multi-model simulations performed on the ETEX-2 experiment by the ENSEMBLE modelling community. New sets of results were created by taking different percentiles of the distribution of the models' predicted values. Both single models and the new constructed sets of results have been compared with the observed data. While a similar comparison for the ETEX-1 case indicated the median model was superior to any single model, for the ETEX-2 case, the situation is more difficult due to complex meteorological conditions, and no absolute and clear conclusions can be obtained. However, for emergency response purposes the median model still can be considered the most viable option also for complicated meteorological situation such is the ETEX-2 experiment.

TI Atmospheric mercury concentrations at Storm Peak Laboratory in the Rocky

AB The goal of this study was to test if Asian long-range transport (ALRT) of pollutants leads to enhanced levels of atmospheric mercury in the Colorado Rocky Mountains in the United States. Storm Peak Laboratory, a high-elevation (3200 m asl) mountaintop research facility, is located on top of the Continental Divide ideally exposed to the prevailing westerly winds 1500 km inland from the Pacific where near-coastal stations previously measured significant atmospheric mercury enhancements due to ALRT. Measurements of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) from October 2006 to May 2007 averaged 1.51 +/- 0.12 ng m(-3) at this laboratory, with minimum and maximum concentrations of 1.06 ng m(-3) and 2.15 ng m(-3), respectively. GEM showed diel patterns with peak concentrations during daytime and lowest concentrations during late night and early morning hours. In fall and winter, these patterns closely followed diel fluctuations of water vapor, aerosol number concentration, and ozone. The patterns are hence attributed to transitions of daytime boundary layer and nighttime air masses with regional representation as daytime surface heating causes air masses enhanced with air pollutants to rise from the valley floor to the laboratory.
In spring, diel patterns of GEM and carbon monoxide (CO) occurred time-shifted in respect to water vapor, aerosol number, and ozone concentrations, indicating additional or different sources or sinks. A large GEM enhancement (2.15 ng m(-3)) Was observed in early April and was associated with a pressure increase of almost 10 hPa and a decrease in water vapor concentration. CO levels increased correspondingly (213 ppbv) resulting in a GEM/CO enhancement ratio of 0.0061 ng GEM m(-3)/ppbv CO, which is in the range of previously observed ALRT. These patterns, along with 10-day HYSPLIT air mass trajectories and increased levels of coarse aerosols (i.e., 3-4 mu m) typical of Asian dust events indicate the presence of Asian air masses at the laboratory. Further, springtime concentrations showed pronounced late-morning and afternoon decreases of GEM along with decreases of CO2 typical during the onset of photosynthetic activity of plants. We attribute GEM afternoon declines in spring to possible plant uptake of atmospheric mercury. We conclude that in spring, ALRT can be detected in the Rocky Mountains against local and regional patterns caused by slope flow and boundary layer upward mixing, and that plant activity may affect daytime GEM levels.

using Bayesian inference

DT Article
DE Bayesian statistics; Event reconstruction; Source characterization;
Gaussian plume models; Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)
ID ALGORITHM
AB Environmental sensors have been deployed in various cities for early detection of contaminant releases into the atmosphere. Event reconstruction and improved dispersion modeling capabilities are needed to estimate the extent of contamination, which is required to implement effective strategies in emergency management. To this end, a stochastic event reconstruction capability that can process information from an environmental sensor network is developed. A probability model is proposed to take into account both zero and non-zero concentration Measurements that can be available from a sensor network because of a sensor's specified limit of detection. The inference is based on the Bayesian paradigm with Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling. Fast-running Gaussian plume dispersion models are adopted as the forward model in the Bayesian inference approach to achieve rapid-response event reconstructions. The Gaussian plume model is substantially enhanced by introducing stochastic parameters in its turbulent diffusion parameterizations and estimating them within the Bayesian inference framework. Additionally, parameters of the likelihood function are estimated ill a principled way using data and prior probabilities to avoid toning in the overall method. The event reconstruction method is Successfully validated for both real and synthetic dispersion problems, and posterior distributions of the model parameters are used to generate probabilistic plume envelopes with specified confidence levels to aid emergency decisions.

AB The periplasmic nitrite reductase system from Escherichia coli and the extracellular Fe(III) reductase system from Shewanella oneidensis contain multihaem c-type cytochromes as electron carriers and terminal reductases. The position and orientation of the haem cofactors in multihaem cytochromes from different bacteria often show significant conservation despite different arrangements of the polypeptide chain. We propose that the decahaem cytochromes of the iron reductase system MtrA, MtrC and OmcA comprise pentahaem 'modules' similar to the electron donor protein, NrfB, from E coli. To demonstrate this, we have isolated and characterized the N-terminal pentahaem module of MtrA by preparing a truncated form containing five covalently attached haems. UV-visible spectroscopy indicated that all five haems were low-spin, consistent with the presence of bis-His ligand co-ordination as found in full-length MtrA.

AB The positional preferences of the twenty amino-acid residues in a phospholipid bilayer are investigated by calculating the solvation free energy of the corresponding side chain analogues using a five-slab continuum electrostatic model. The side-chain analogues of the aromatic residues tryptophan and tyrosine are found to partition in the head-group region, due to compensation between the increase of the non-polar component of the solvation free energy at the boundary with the aqueous region and the decrease in the electrostatic component. The side chain analogue of phenylalanine differs from the other aromatic molecules by being able to partition in both the head-group region and the membrane core. This finding is consistent with experimental findings of the position of phenylalanine in membrane helices. Interestingly, the charged side-chain analogues of arginine and lysine are shown to prefer the head-group region in an Orientation that allows the charged moiety to interact with the aqueous layer. The orientation adopted is similar to the "snorkelling" effect seen in lysine and arginine residues in membrane helices. In contrast, the preference of the charged side-chain analogues of histidine (protonated) and aspartate (deprotonated) for the aqueous layer is shown to be due to a steep decrease in the electrostatic component of the solvation free energy at the boundary to the aqueous region. The calculations allow an understanding of the origins of side chain positioning in membranes and are thus useful in understanding membrane-protein:lipid thermodynamics. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

AB Scrapie is a neurodegenerative disorder that involves the misfolding, aggregation and accumulation of the prion protein (PrP). The normal cellular PrP (PrPc) is rich in alpha-helical secondary structure, whereas the disease-associated pathogenic form of the protein (PrPSc) has an anomalously high beta-sheet content. in this study, protein structural changes were examined in situ in the dorsal root ganglia from perorally 263K scrapie-infected and mock-infected hamsters using synchrotron Fourier Transform InfraRed Microspectroscopy (FTIRM) at four time points over the course of the disease (pre-clinical, 100 and 130 days post-infection (dpi); first clinical signs (similar to 145 dpi); and terminal (similar to 170 dpi)). Results showed clear changes in the total protein content, structure, and distribution as the disease progressed. At pre-clinical time points, the scrapie-infected animals exhibited a significant increase in protein expression, but the beta-sheet protein content was significantly lower than controls. Based on these findings, we suggest that the pre-clinical stages of scrapie are characterized by an overexpression of proteins low in beta-sheet content. As the disease progressed, the 1 sheet content increased significantly. Immunostaining with a PrP-specific antibody, 3F4, confirmed that this increase was partly - but not solely - due to the formation of PrPSc in the tissue and indicated that other proteins high in beta-sheet were produced, either by overexpression or misfolding. Elevated beta-sheet was observed near the cell membrane at pre-clinical time points and also in the cytoplasm of infected neurons at later stages of infection. At the terminal stage of the disease, the protein expression declined significantly, likely due to degeneration and death of neurons. These dramatic changes in protein content and structure, especially at pre-clinical time points, emphasize the possibility for identifying other proteins involved in early pathogenesis, which are important for a further understanding of the disease.

AB Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique used in both clinical and experimental settings to produce hi.-h-resolution images of opaque organisms without ionizing radiation. Currently, MR imaging is augmented by contrast agents, and the vast majority these small molecule Gd(III) chelates are confined to the extracellular regions. As a result, contrast agents are confined to vascular regions reducing their ability to provide information about cell physiology or molecular pathology. We have shown that polypeptides of arginine have the capacity to transport Gd(III) contrast agents across cell membranes. However, this transport is not unidirectional, and once inside the cell, the arginine-modified contrast agents efflux rapidly, decreasing the intracellular Gd(III) concentration and corresponding MR image intensity. By exploiting the inherent disulfide reducing environment of cells, thiol compounds. Gd(III)-DOTA-SS-Arg(8) and Gd(III)-DTPA-SS-Arg(8), are cleaved from their cell-penetrating peptide transduction domains upon cell internalization. This reaction prolongs the cell-associated lifetime of the chelated Gd(III) by cleaving it from the cell transduction domain.

AB Although all species provide some spatial information about past environments, remnant populations of habitat specialists can serve as biological legacies and natural archives of historical landscapes. The endangered longleaf pine ecosystem is home to an array of imperiled fauna that specialize on the habitat. Often referred to as pine savanna, the ecosystem was characterized by longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), but included an array of open-canopy habitats within a grassland matrix dominated by a variety of tree species. In this study, we used a coarse scale of description to quantify habitat associations of a declining reptile, the eastern diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus), historically associated with pine savannas of the southeastern United States. We made cross-scale habitat comparisons and controlled for land use and geographic variability. Habitat models of within home range and microhabitat selection indicated that the species was associated with an open-canopy savanna community structure. We identified the eastern diamondback rattlesnake as a remnant of the historical southeastern savanna, which is important for species conservation and broader management of the southeastern savanna community. Given their longevity and habitat specificity, remnant eastern diamondback rattlesnake populations are biological legacies of the southeastern savanna community and act as a surrogate for the prioritization of land conservation. Thus, the species' presence provides spatial information that can be used by conservationists to identify habitats that have high restoration potential, and also increases the probability that other species associated with pine savanna occur locally.

TI Mechanism of iodine uptake by cabbage: Effects of iodine species and
where it is stored
SO BIOLOGICAL TRACE ELEMENT RESEARCH
LA English
DT Article
DE uptake mechanism; iodine species; iodine distribution; Chinese cabbage
ID DEFICIENCY DISORDERS; SOIL
AB Iodine-enhanced vegetable has been proven to be an effective way to reduce iodine deficiency disorders in many regions. However, the knowledge about what mechanisms control plant uptake of iodine and where iodine is stored in plants is still very limited. A series of controlled experiments, including solution culture, pot planting, and field experiments were carried out to investigate the uptake mechanism of iodine in different forms. A new methodology for observing the iodine distribution within the plant tissues, based on AgI precipitation reaction and transmission electron microscope techniques, has been developed and successfully applied to Chinese cabbage. Results show that iodine uptake by Chinese cabbage was more effective when iodine was in the form of IO3- than in the form of I- if the concentration was low (< 0.5 mg L-1), but the trend was opposite if iodine concentration was 0.5 mg L-1 or higher. The uptake was more sensitive to metabolism inhibitor in lower concentration of iodine, which implies that the uptake mechanism transits from active to passive as the iodine concentration increases, especially when the iodine is in the form of IO3-. The inorganic iodine fertilizer provided a quicker supply for plant uptake, but the higher level of iodine was toxic to plant growth. The organic iodine fertilizer (seaweed composite) provided a more sustainable iodine supply for plants. Most of the iodine uptake by the cabbage is intercepted and stored in the fibrins in the root while the iodine that is transported to the above-ground portion ( shoots and leaves) is selectively stored in the chloroplasts.

AB The viscoelastic response of bovine corneas was characterized using in vitro inflation (bulge) experiments combined with spatially-resolved deformation mapping via digital image correlation. A complex fixture conforming to the limbal annulus was developed to hold the attached sclera rigid while allowing deformation only in the cornea. A statistical set of experiments was performed for a pressure range of 3.6-8 kPa (27-60 mmHg), representing nominal bovine intraocular pressure (IOP) to acute glaucoma conditions. A broader pressure range of 0-32 kPa (0-240 mmHg) was also examined to characterize the nonlinear finite deformation behavior of the tissue. Results showed that for pressures near and above IOP, the majority of the deformation was localized in the limbus and peripheral regions, which left the central cornea largely undeformed. This observation was consistent with the known preferred circumferential alignment of collagen fibrils outside of the central cornea. In general, the inflation experiments observed viscoelastic behavior in the form of rate-dependent hysteresis in the pressure-deformation response of the apex of the cornea, creep in the apex deformation at a constant inflation pressure, and relaxation in the pressure response at a constant inflation volume. The 3.6-8 kPa (27-60 mmHg) pressure range produced small viscoelastic deformations and a nearly linear pressure-deformation response, which suggests that for physiological pressure ranges, the cornea can be approximated as a linear viscoelastic or linear pseudo-elastic material.

AB We present an on-chip microfluidic sample concentrator and detection triggering system for microparticles based on a combination of insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) and electrical impedance measurement. This platform operates by first using iDEP to selectively concentrate microparticles of interest based on their electrical and physiological characteristics in a primary fluidic channel; the concentrated microparticles are then directed into a side channel configured for particle detection using electrical impedance measurements with embedded electrodes. This is the first study showing iDEP concentration with subsequent sample diversion down an analysis channel and is the first to demonstrate iDEP in the presence of pressure driven flow. Experimental results demonstrating the capabilities of this platform were obtained using polystyrene microspheres and Bacillus subtilis spores. The feasibility of selective iDEP trapping and impedance detection of these particles was demonstrated. The system is intended for use as a front-end unit that can be easily paired with multiple biodetection/bioidentification systems. This platform is envisioned to act as a decision-making component to determine if confirmatory downstream identification assays are required. Without a front end component that triggers downstream analysis only when necessary, bio-identification systems (based on current analytical technologies such as PCR and immunoassays) may incur prohibitively high costs to operate due to continuous consumption of expensive reagents.

AB Petrobactin is the primary siderophore synthesized by Bacillus anthracis str Sterne and is required for virulence of this organism in a mouse model. The siderophore's biosynthetic machinery was recently defined and gene homologues of this operon exist in several other Bacillus strains known to be mammalian pathogens, but are absent in several known to be harmless such as B. subtilis and B. lichenformis. Thus, a common hypothesis regarding siderophore production in Bacillus species is that petrobactin production is exclusive to pathogenic isolates. In order to test this hypothesis, siderophores produced by 106 strains of an in-house library of the Bacillus cereus sensu lato group were isolated and identified using a MALDI-TOF-MS assay. Strains were selected from a previously defined phylogenetic tree of this group in order to include both known pathogens and innocuous strains. Petrobactin is produced by pathogenic strains and innocuous isolates alike, and thus is not itself indicative of virulence.

Monolayers composed of 20 mol% ganglioside GT(1b), the phospholipid dipalmitoyl phosphatidylethanolamine ( DPPE), and the phospholipid dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine ( DPPC) were studied in the gel phase at 23 degrees C and at surface pressures of 20 and 40 mN/m, and at pH 7.4 and 5. Under these conditions, the two components did not phase-separate, and no evidence of domain formation was observed. The x-ray scattering measurements revealed that GT(1b) was intercalated within the host DPPE/DPPC monolayers, and slightly expanded DPPE but condensed the DPPC matrix. The oligosaccharide headgroups extended normally from the monolayer surfaces into the subphase. This study demonstrated that these monolayers can serve as platforms for investigating toxin membrane binding and penetration.

AB Branched DNA motifs can be designed to assume a variety of shapes and structures. These structures can be characterized by numerous solution techniques; the structures also can be inferred from atomic force microscopy of two-dimensional periodic arrays that the motifs form via cohesive interactions. Examples of these motifs are the DNA parallelogram, the bulged-junction DNA triangle, and the three-dimensional-double crossover (3D-DX) DNA triangle. The ability of these motifs to withstand stresses without changing geometrical structure is clearly of interest if the motif is to be used in nanomechanical devices or to organize other large chemical species. Metallic nanoparticles can be attached to DNA motifs, and the arrangement of these particles can be established by transmission electron microscopy. We have attached 5 nm or 10 nm gold nanoparticles to every vertex of DNA parallelograms, to two or three vertices of 3D-DX DNA triangle motifs, and to every vertex of bulged-junction DNA triangles. We demonstrate by transmission electron microscopy that the DNA parallelogram motif and the bulged-junction DNA triangle are deformed by the presence of the gold nanoparticles, whereas the structure of the 3D-DX DNA triangle motif appears to be minimally distorted. This method provides a way to estimate the robustness and potential utility of the many new DNA motifs that are becoming available.

AB The objectives of this research were to determine the variation of chemical composition across botanical fractions of cornstover, and to probe the potential of Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) techniques in qualitatively classifying separated cornstover fractions and in quantitatively analyzing chemical compositions of cornstover by developing calibration models to predict chemical compositions of cornstover based on FT-NIR spectra. Large variations of cornstover chemical composition for wide calibration ranges, which is required by a reliable calibration model, were achieved by manually separating the cornstover samples into six botanical fractions, and their chemical compositions were determined by conventional wet chemical analyses, which proved that chemical composition varies significantly among different botanical fractions of cornstover. Different botanic fractions, having total saccharide content in descending order, are husk, sheath, pith, rind, leaf, and node. Based on FT-NIR spectra acquired on the biomass, classification by Soft Independent Modeling of Class Analogy (SIMCA) was employed to conduct qualitative classification of cornstover fractions, and partial least square (PLS) regression was used for quantitative chemical composition analysis. SIMCA was successfully demonstrated in classifying botanical fractions of cornstover. The developed PLS model yielded root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP %w/w) of 0.92, 1.03, 0.17, 0.27, 0.21, 1.12, and 0.57 for glucan, xylan, galactan, arabinan, mannan, lignin, and ash, respectively. The results showed the potential of FT-NIR techniques in combination with multivariate analysis to be utilized by biomass feedstock suppliers, bioethanol manufacturers, and bio-power producers in order to better manage bioenergy feedstocks and enhance bioconversion.

AB Agricultural and herbaceous feedstocks may contain appreciable levels of sucrose. The goal of this study was to evaluate the survivability of sucrose and its hydrolysis products, fructose and glucose, during dilute sulfuric acid processing at conditions typically used to pretreat lignocellulose biomass. Solutions containing 25 g/l sucrose with 0.1-2.0% (w/w) sulfuric acid concentrations were treated at temperatures of 160-200 circle C for 3-12 min. Sucrose was observed to completely hydrolyze at all treatment conditions. However, appreciable concentrations of fructose and glucose were detected and glucose was found to be significantly more stable than fructose. Different mathematical approaches were used to fit the kinetic parameters for acid-catalyzed thermal degradation of these sugars. Since both sugars may survive dilute acid pretreatment, they could provide an additional carbon source for production of ethanol and other bio-based products. (C) 2007 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB The aim of the study was to investigate petroleum waste remediation and toxicity reduction by five bacterial strains: Ralstonia picketti SRS (BP-20), Alcaligenes piechaudii SRS (CZOR L-1B), Bacillus subtilis (I'-1a), Bacillus sp. (T-1), and Bacillus sp. (T'-1), previously isolated from petroleum-contaminated soils. Petroleum hydrocarbons were significantly degraded (91%) by the mixed bacterial cultures in 30 days (reaching up to 29% in the first 72 h). Similarly, the toxicity of the biodegraded petroleum waste decreased 3-fold after 30 days. This work shows the influence of bacteria on hydrocarbon degradation and associated toxicity, and its dependence on the specific microorganisms present. The ability of these mixed cultures to degrade hydrocarbons and reduce toxicity makes them candidates for environmental restoration applications at other hydrocarbon-contaminated environments.

LA English
DT Article
ID MESOSCALE ALPINE PROGRAM
AB The international field campaign called the Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation Study (COPS) took place from June to August 2007 in southwestern Germany/eastern France. The overarching goal of COPS is to advance the quality of forecasts of orographically-induced convective precipitation by four-dimensional observations and modeling of its life cycle.
COPS was endorsed as one of the Research and Development Projects of the World Weather Research Program (WWRP), and combines the efforts of institutions and scientists from eight countries. A strong collaboration between instrument principal investigators and experts on mesoscale modeling has been established within COPS. In order to study the relative importance of large-scale and small-scale forcing leading to convection initiation in low mountains, COPS is coordinated with a one-year General Observations Period in central Europe, the WWRP Forecast Demonstration Project MAP D-PHASE, and the first summertime European THORPEX Regional Campaign. Furthermore, the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement program Mobile Facility operated in the central COPS observing region for nine months in 2007.
The article describes the scientific preparation of this project and the design of the observation systems. COPS will rest on three pillars: A unique synergy of observing systems, the next-generation high-resolution mesoscale models with improved model physics, and advanced data assimilation and ensemble prediction systems. These tools will be used to separate and to quantify errors in quantitative precipitation forecasting as well as to study the predictability of convective precipitation. (Page 1477)

AB The phase composition and microphysical structure of clouds define the manner in which they modulate atmospheric radiation and contribute to the hydrologic cycle. Issues regarding cloud phase partitioning and transformation come to bear directly in mixed-phase clouds, and have been difficult to address within current modeling frameworks. Ground-based, remote-sensing observations of mixed-phase clouds can contribute a significant body of knowledge with which to better understand, and thereby more accurately model, clouds and their phase-defining processes. Utilizing example observations from the Mixed-Phase Arctic Cloud Experiment (M-PACE), which occurred at the Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program's Climate Research Facility in Barrow, Alaska, during autumn 2004, we review the current status of ground-based observation and retrieval methods used in characterizing the macrophysical, microphysical, radiative, and dynamical properties of stratiform mixed-phase clouds. In general, cloud phase, boundaries, ice properties, liquid water path, optical depth, and vertical velocity are available from a combination of active and passive sensors. Significant deficiencies exist in our ability to vertically characterize the liquid phase, to distinguish ice crystal habits, and to understand aerosol-cloud interactions. Further validation studies are needed to evaluate, improve, and expand our retrieval abilities in mixed-phase clouds. (Page 1549)

TI Difference spectrograms: A new method for studying S-wave generation
from explosions
SO BULLETIN OF THE SEISMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA

ID NUCLEAR-EXPLOSIONS; GROUP-VELOCITY; TEST SITES; LG; NTS; KAZAKH
AB A new method for studying the source characteristics of regional phases including explosion-generated S waves is developed and utilizes differences between spectrograms of two closely located explosions recorded at a common station. Relative source effects of a normal-buried explosion with respect to an overburied explosion are isolated in the resultant difference spectrogram because path and receiver site effects cancel. Difference spectrograms provide a global view of the relative frequency content, while the spectral ratio method is specific to the time window selected for Fourier analysis. Difference spectrograms for Nevada test site (NTS) explosions are characterized by the presence of amplitude modulations in Pg coda, in time windows predicted for Sn and Lg, and in long-duration Lg codas. Previous studies have modeled similar features in Lg spectral ratios by invoking the Rg-to-S scattering hypothesis and the notion of Rg imprinting, where the modulations arise due to interference of Rg waves from explosion and induced tensile failure sources. We propose that spectral peaking at low frequencies in Lg spectra is related to resonances in the source medium that affect the excitation and propagation of Rg waves, adding further support to Rg imprinting and the Rg-to-S scattering hypothesis. Difference spectrograms for explosion pairs Rousanne/Techado and Baseball/Borrego are interpreted to have a spectral null related to a pulse of Rg-derived energy from a common scatterer. Using the relative timing of this null, we estimate an Rg velocity (similar to 0.8 km/sec) and locate a candidate scattering source at the Yucca Basin boundary near Climax Stock. Difference spectrograms provide a wealth of information about the spectral content of regional phases related to source effects, which can be used to gain insights into source generation processes.

AB Surface waves were generated by the North Korean nuclear explosion of 9 October 2006 and were recorded at epicentral distances up to 34, from which we estimated a surface wave magnitude (M-s) of 2.94 with an interstation standard deviation of 0.17 magnitude units. The International Data Center estimated a body-wave magnitude (m(b)) of 4.1. This is the only explosion we have analyzed that was not easily screened as an explosion based on the differences between the M-s and m(b) estimates. Additionally, this M-s predicts a yield, based on empirical M-s/yield relationships, that is almost an order of magnitude larger than the 0.5-1 kt reported for this explosion. We investigate how emplacement medium effects on surface wave moment and magnitude may have contributed to the yield discrepancy.

TI Shear-wave splitting and mantle flow beneath the Colorado Plateau and
its boundary with the Great Basin

AB Shear-wave splitting measurements from SKS and SKKS phases show fast polarization azimuths that are subparallel to North American absolute plate motion within the central Rio Grande Rift (RGR) and Colorado Plateau (CP) through to the western rim of the CP, with anisotropy beneath the CP and central RGR showing a remarkably consistent pattern with a mean fast azimuth of 4 degrees +/- degrees 6 E of N. Approaching the rim from the southeast, fast anisotropic directions become north-northeast-south-southwest (NNE-SSW), rotate counter clockwise to north-south in the CP-GB transition, and then to NNW-SSE in the western Great Basin ( GB). This change is coincident with uppermost mantle S-wave velocity perturbations that vary from +4% beneath the western CP and the eastern edge of the Marysvale volcanic field to about -8% beneath the GB. Corresponding delay times average 1.5 sec beneath the central CP, decrease to approximately 0.8 sec near the CP-GB transition, and increase to about 1.2 sec beneath the GB. For the central CP, we suggest anisotropy predominantly controlled by North American plate motion above the asthenosphere. The observed pattern of westward-rotating anisotropy from the western CP through the CP-GB transition may be influenced to asthenospheric flow around a CP lithospheric keel and/or by vertical flow arising from edge-driven small-scale convection. The anisotropic transition from the CP to the GB thus marks a first-order change from absolute plate motion dominated lithosphere-asthenosphere shear to a new regime controlled by regional flow processes. The NNW-SSE anisotropic fast directions of split SKS waves in the eastern GB area are part of a broad circular pattern of seismic anisotropic fast direction in the central GB that has recently been hypothesized to be due to toroidal flow around the sinking Juan de Fuca-Gorda slab.

AB The enantiospecific adsorption and desorption of (R)-3-methylcyclohexanone on naturally chiral Cu(531)(R&S) surfaces was studied using temperature programmed desorption. The Cu(531)(R&S) surfaces are of interest because they lie at the center of the stereographic triangle and thus, have the highest density of chiral adsorption sites possible on the surface of a face centered cubic metal. Several (R)-3-methylcyclohexanone desorption features were resolved in the TPD spectra from Cu(531)(R&S) surfaces and were assigned to desorption of molecules from terrace, step, and kink sites. The peaks associated with (R)-3-methylcyclohexanone desorbing from the R- and S-kink sites differed in temperature by 2.2 +/- 0.6 K. This corresponds to an enantiospecific difference in the desorption energies of 0.5 +/- 0.2 kJ/mol, with a preference for adsorption of (R)-3-methylcyclohexanone at the S-kinks on the Cu(531)(S) surface.

AB Here we investigate isotope effects on the catalytic methanol synthesis reaction and the reactivity of copper-bound formate species in CO(2)-H(2) atmospheres on Cu/SiO(2) catalysts by simultaneous IR and MS measurements, both steady-state and transient. Studies of isotopic variants (H/D, (12)C/(13)C) reveal that bidentate formate dominates the copper surface at steady state. The steady-state formate coverages of HCOO (in 6 bar 3:1 H(2):CO(2)) and DCOO (in D(2):CO(2)) are similar and the steady-state formate coverages in both systems decrease by similar to 80% from 350 K to 550 K. Over the temperature range 413 K-553 K, the steady-state methanol synthesis rate shows a weak H/D isotope effect (1.05 +/- 0.05) with somewhat higher activation energies in H(2):CO(2) (79 kJ/mole) than D(2):CO(2) (71 kJ/mole) over the range 473 K-553 K. The reverse water gas shift (RWGS) rates are higher than methanol synthesis and also shows a weak positive H/D isotope effect with higher activation energy for H(2)/CO(2) than D(2)/CO(2) (108 vs. and 102 kJ/mole) The reactivity of the resulting formate species in 6 bar H(2), 6 bar D(2) and 6 bar Ar is strongly dominated by decomposition back to CO(2) and H(2). H(2) and D(2) exposure compared to Ar do not enhance the formate decomposition rate. The decomposition profiles on the supported catalyst deviate from first order decay, indicating distributed surface reactivity. The average decomposition rates are similar to values previously reported on single crystals. The average activation energies for formate decomposition are 90 +/- 17 kJ/mole for HCOO and 119 +/- 11 kJ/mole for DCOO. By contrast to the catalytic reaction rates, the formate decomposition rate shows a strong H/D kinetic isotope effect (H/D similar to 8 at 413 K), similar to previously observed values on Cu(110).

AB Src-family kinases are modular signaling proteins involved in a diverse array of cellular processes. All members of the Src family share the same domain organization, with modular SH3, SH2 and kinase domains followed by a C-terminal negative regulatory tail. X-ray crystallographic analyses of several Src family members have revealed critical roles for the SH3 and SH2 domains in the down-regulation of the kinase domain. This review focuses on biological, biophysical, and computational studies that reveal conformationally distinct active states within this unique kinase family.

AB Model systems for studying molecular surface chemistry have evolved from single crystal surfaces at low pressure to colloidal nanoparticles at high pressure. Low pressure surface structure studies of platinum single crystals using molecular beam surface scattering and low energy electron diffraction techniques probe the unique activity of defects, steps and kinks at the surface for dissociation reactions (H-H, C-H, C-C, O=O bonds). High-pressure investigations of platinum single crystals using sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy have revealed the presence and the nature of reaction intermediates. High pressure scanning tunneling microscopy of platinum single crystal surfaces showed adsorbate mobility during a catalytic reaction. Nanoparticle systems are used to determine the role of metal-oxide interfaces, site blocking and the role of surface structures in reactive surface chemistry. The size, shape and composition of nanoparticles play important roles in determining reaction activity and selectivity and is covered in this tutorial review.

AB We calculated the relative abundances of charge hadron, K-S(0), A and A in the near-side and away-side cones correlated with triggered high P-T particles in minimum bias in p+p collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV in the PYTHIA model. From the quark and gluon jet events in the PYTHIA model, we have found that the particle yields' different splitting. So the di-hadron correlation in the quark jet events and gluon jet events are also presented. And the particle charge dependance of the di-hadron correlation is extracted from the PYTHIA model. The di-hadron plus and di-hadron minus correlations are similar in the near-side (Delta phi similar to 0), but in the away-side, the di-hadron minus correlation seems to be lower. The Hadron-K-S(0) and -Lambda+(Lambda) over bar correlations seem to be differet. We have used a double-Gaussian function to fit those correlation functions and compared the fit parameters.

AB Recent-progress in research on octupole deformation around Z=56, N=88 neutron-rich nuclei by our cooperative groups of Tsinghua University, Vanderbilt University and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has been introduced. The experiment was carried out by measuring the prompt gamma-rays in spontaneous fission of (252)Cf with the Gammasphere detector array. The new results of high spin states in (143)La and (148)Ce have been obtained and the octupole deformation bands are identified in both nuclei. The important structural characteristics have been discussed.

AB It has been over 20 years since the discovery of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), a tyrosine kinase receptor that is a patent oncoprotein in breast and other cancers and has become an opportune forget for therapy. HER2 plays a critical role in normal development, forming homodimers or heterodimers with other HER family members and triggering downstream signaling cascades controlling proliferation, cell survival, and apoptosis. However, amplification of the HER2 gene in cancer cells results in overexpression of HER2 receptors on the cell surface, leading to excessive and dysregulated signaling. HER2-driven signaling also upregulates transcription factors that act on the HER2 promoter, increasing its expression. In breast cancer, HER2 is gene amplified in 20%-25% of primary tumors and is associated with a more aggressive phenotype and poorer prognosis. The key role HER2 plays In tumorigenesis makes it an ideal target for therapy. Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody against HER2, Inhibits downstream signaling and has proven to be effective against HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer both as a single agent and in combination with chemotherapy. Seminal clinical trial data also show that the use of adjuvant trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy or as a single agent after chemotherapy significantly increases disease-free and overall survival. Lapatinib, a dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor against HER1 and HER2, has been approved in combination with capecitabine for HER2-overexpressing advanced or metastatic breast cancer, which has progressed following previous anthracycline, taxane, and trastuzumab therapy. Other HER2-targeting strategies are also under active investigation.

AB Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) has long been associated with breast cancer cell invasiveness and evidence of EMT processes in clinical samples is growing rapidly. Genome-wide transcriptional profiling of increasingly larger numbers of human breast cancer (HBC) cell lines have confirmed the existence of a subgroup of cell lines (termed Basal B/Mesenchymal) with enhanced invasive properties and a predominantly mesenchymal gene expression signature, distinct from subgroups with predominantly luminal (termed Luminal) or mixed basal/luminal (termed Basal A) features (Neve et al Cancer Cell 2006). Studies providing molecular and cellular analyses of EMT features in these cell lines are summarised, and the expression levels of EMT-associated factors in these cell lines are analysed. Recent clinical studies supporting the presence of EMT-like changes in vivo are summarised. Human breast cancer cell lines with mesenchymal properties continue to hold out the promise of directing us towards key mechanisms at play in the metastatic dissemination of breast cancer.

AB A theoretical framework, based upon the peridynamic model, is presented for analytical and computational Simulation of electromigration. The framework allows four Coupled physical processes to be modeled simultaneously: mechanical deformation, heat transfer, electrical potential distribution, and vacancy diffusion. The dynamics of void and crack formation, and hillock and whisker growth can potentially be modeled. The framework can potentially be applied at several modeling scales: atomistic, crystallite, multiple crystallite, and macro. The conceptual simplicity of the model promises to permit many phenomena observed in microchips, including electromigration, thermo-mechanical crack formation, and fatigue crack formation, to be analyzed in a systematic and unified manner. Interfacial behavior between dissimilar crystallites and materials can also be handled in a natural way. A computational implementation of the theoretical framework is proposed, and a one-dimensional example is presented.

AB Filtered mass density functions (FMDFs) of mixture fraction and temperature are studied by analyzing experimental data obtained from one-dimensional Raman/Rayleigh/LIF measurements of nonpremixed CH4/H-2/N-2 turbulent jet flames at Reynolds numbers of 15,200 and 22,800 (DLR-A and -B). The experimentally determined FMDFs are conditioned on the Favre filtered values of the mixture fraction and its variance. Filter widths are selected as fixed multiples of the experimentally determined dissipation length scale at each measurement location. One-dimensional filtering using a top-hat filter is performed to obtain the filtered variables used for condition. The FMDFs are obtained by binning the mass and filter kernel weighted samples. Emphasis is placed on the shapes of the FMDFs in the fuel-rich, fuel-lean, and stoichiometric intervals for the Favre filtered mixture fraction, and low, medium, and high values for the Favre filtered mixture fraction variance. It is found that the FMDFs of mixture fraction are unimodal in samples with low mixture fraction variance and bimodal in samples with high variance. However, the FMDFs Of Mixture fraction at the smallest filter size studied are unimodal for all values of the variance. The FMDFs of temperature are unimodal in samples with low mixture fraction variance, and either unimodal or bimodal, depending on the mixture fraction mean, in samples with high variance. The influence of the filter size and the jet Reynolds number on the FMDFs is also considered. (c) 2008 The Combustion Institute. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB Three-dimensional direct numerical simulation of soot formation with complex chemistry is presented. The simulation consists of a temporally evolving, planar, nonpremixed ethylene jet flame with a validated, 19-species reduced mechanism. A four-step, three-moment, semiempirical soot model is employed. Previous two-dimensional decaying turbulence simulations have shown the importance of multidimensional flame dynamical effects on soot concentration [D.O. Lionell, J.H. Chen, P.J. Smith, T. Lu, C.K. Law, Combust. Flame 151 (1-2) (2007) 2-28]. It was shown that flame curvature strongly impacts the diffusive motion of the flame relative to soot (which is essentially convected with the flow), resulting in soot being differentially transported toward or away from the flame zone. The proximity of the soot to the flame directly influences soot reactivity and radiative properties. Here, the analysis is extended to three dimensions in a temporal jet configuration with mean shear. Results show that similar local flame dynamic effects of strain and curvature are important, but that enhanced turbulent mixing of fuel and oxidizer streams has a first-order effect on transport of soot toward flame zones. Soot modeling in turbulent flames is a challenge due to the complexity of soot formation and transport processes and the lack of detailed experimental soot-flame-flow structural data. The present direct numerical simulation provides the first step toward providing such data. Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of The Combustion Institute.

AB A polydentate ligand, H4L, based on adjacent 1,3-diketone and phenol functions has been used in combination with a strong base for the assembly of four Ni(II) ions into molecular species, [Ni4L2(py)(6)] (1), featuring a targeted linear [Ni-Ni center dot center dot center dot Ni-Ni] sequence. Weak antiferromagnetic exchange is observed within pairs of closest Ni(II) centers, of J = -5.04 cm(-1) (in the H = -2JS(1)S(2) convention). An unusual combination of coordination geometries (square pyramidal + octahedral) is observed within each [Ni-2] moiety in the molecule, attributed to the geometrical constraints imposed by L4-.

AB In this paper we present the package S@M (Spinors@Mathematica) which implements the spinor-helicity formalism in Mathematica. The package allows the use of complex-spinor algebra along with the multipurpose features of Mathematica. The package defines the spinor objects with their basic properties along with functions to manipulate them. It also offers the possibility of evaluating the spinorial objects numerically at every computational step. The package is therefore well suited to be used in the context of on-shell technology, in particular for the evaluation of scattering amplitudes at tree- and loop-level.

AB High strength low alloy (HSLA) steels are candidate Rockbolt materials for use as underground roof supports at Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository. Oxidation kinetics of International Rollforms Split Set Friction Rock Stabilizers (SS46), and Swellex Mn24 steels have been determined by temperature modulated thermogravimetry at temperatures ranging between 600 and 900 degrees C in pure oxygen atmosphere for 100 hr. The imposed sinusoidal temperature modulations (+/- 5 degrees C for a period of I cycle per 200 s) on the isothermal temperature did not have any noticeable effect on the weight gain characteristics during oxidation. Weight gain data on the steels indicate two distinct regions with different oxidation profiles, where a definite change in rates of oxidation is observed: a first oxidation regime where the steels followed a rate law y = kt(0.40-0.63) (changing index of rate law depending upon steel and temperature) and a second stage oxidation regime that follows the parabolic law. The results of characterization of the oxide films using SEM/EDAX, X-ray diffraction and Synchrotron white beam X-ray microdiffraction are presented. The oxidation data of the steels presented here is expected to be useful for characterizing those steels for use in underground rock bolt system and as roof support for the DOE proposed Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time thermogravimetric studies of this kind have been done on these steels. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Culture-independent molecular surveys using the 16S rRNA gene have become a mainstay for characterizing microbial community structure over the past quarter century. More recently this approach has been overshadowed by metagenomics, which provides a global overview of a community's functional potential rather than just an inventory of its inhabitants. However, the pioneering 16S rRNA gene is making a comeback in its own right thanks to a number of methodological advancements including higher resolution (more sequences), analysis of multiple related samples (e.g. spatial and temporal series) and improved metadata, and use of metadata. The standard conclusion that microbial ecosystems are remarkably complex and diverse is now being replaced by detailed insights into microbial ecology and evolution based only on this one historically important marker gene.

AB Florigen is the hypothetical leaf-produced signal that induces floral initiation at the shoot apex. The nature of florigen has remained elusive for more than 70 years. But recent progress toward understanding the regulatory network for flowering in Arabidopsis has led to the suggestion that FLOWERING LOCUS T(FT) or its product is the mobile flower-inducing signal that moves from an induced leaf through the phloem to the shoot apex. In the past year, physical and chemical evidence has shown that it is FT protein, and not FT mRNA, that moves from induced leaves to the apical meristem. These results have established that FT is the main, if not the only, component of the universal florigen.

AB Neutron crystallography has had an important, but relatively small role in structural biology over the years. In this review of recently determined neutron structures, a theme emerges of a field currently expanding beyond its traditional boundaries, to address larger and more complex problems, with smaller samples and shorter data collection times, and employing more sophisticated structure determination and refinement methods. The origin of this transformation can be found in a number of advances including first, the development of neutron image-plates and quasi-Laue methods at nuclear reactor neutron sources and the development of time-of-flight Laue methods and electronic detectors at spallation neutron sources; second, new facilities and methods for sample perdeuteration and crystallization; third, new approaches and computational tools for structure determination.

AB X-ray scattering and diffraction from non-crystalline systems have gained renewed interest in recent years, as focus shifts from the structural chemistry information gained by high-resolution studies to the context of structural physiology at larger length scales. Such techniques permit the study of isolated macromolecules as well as highly organized macromolecular assemblies as a whole under near-physiological conditions. Time-resolved approaches, made possible by advanced synchrotron instrumentation, add a crucial dimension to many of these investigations. This article reviews experimental approaches in non-crystalline X-ray scattering and diffraction that may be used to illuminate important scientific questions such as protein/nucleic acid folding and structure-function relationships in large macromolecular assemblies.

AB Methods for imaging cellular architecture and ultimately macromolecular complexes and individual proteins, within a cellular environment, are an important goal for cell and molecular biology. Coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) is a method of lensless imaging that call be applied to any individual finite object. A diffraction pattern from a single biological structure is recorded and ail iterative Fourier transform between real space and reciprocal space is used to reconstruct information about the architecture of the sample to high resolution. As a test system for cellular imaging, we have applied CDI to an important human pathogen, the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. We have employed a novel CDI approach, known as Fresnel CDI which uses illumination with a curved incident wavefront to image red blood cells infected with malaria parasites. We have examined the intrinsic X-ray absorption contrast of these cells and compared them with cells contrasted with heavy metal stains or immunogold labeling. We compare CDI images with data obtained from the same cells using scanning electron microscopy, light microscopy, and scanning X-ray fluorescence microscopy. We show that CDI can offer new information both within and at the surface of complex biological specimens at a spatial resolution of better than 40 urn. and we demonstrate all imaging modality that conveniently combines scanning X-ray fluorescence microscopy with CDI. The data provide independent confirmation of the validity of the coherent diffractive image and demonstrate that CDI offers the potential to become ail important and reliable new high-resolution imaging modality for cell biology. CDI can detect features at high resolution within unsectioned cells. (C) 2008 International Society for Advancement of Cytometry.

AB Ions of high atomic number and energy (HZE particles) pose a significant cancer risk to astronauts on prolonged space missions. On Earth, similar ions are being used for targeted cancer therapy. The properties of these particles can be drastically altered during passage through spacecraft shielding, therapy beam modulators, or the human body. Here, we have used pertinent responses to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) to understand the consequences of energy loss versus nuclear fragmentation of Fe ions during passage through shielding or tissue-equivalent materials. Phosphorylation of histone H2AX and recruitment of 53BP1 were used to generate 3D reconstructions of DNA damage in human cells and to follow its repair. Human cells are unable to repair a significant portion of DNA damage induced by Fe ions. DNA-PK and ATM are required, to different extents, for the partial repair of Fe-induced DNA damage. Aluminum shielding has little effect on DNA damage or its repair, confirming that the hulls of the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station afford scant protection against these particles. Lead shielding, on the other hand, exacerbates the effects of Fe ions due to energy loss during particle traversal. In sharp contrast, polyethylene (PE), a favored hydrogenous shield, results in DNA damage that is more amenable to repair presumably due to Fe-ion fragmentation. Human cells are indeed able to efficiently repair DSBs induced by chlorine ions and protons that represent fragmentation products of Fe. Interestingly, activation of the tumor suppressor p53 in Fe-irradiated cells is uniquely biphasic and culminates in the induction of high levels of p21 (Waf1/Cip1), p16 (INK4a) and senescence-associated (beta-galactosidase activity. Surprisingly, these events occur even in the absence of ATM kinase implying that ATR may be a major responder to the complex DNA damage inflicted by Fe ions. Significantly, fragmentation of the Fe beam through PE attenuates these responses and this, in turn, results in better long-term survival in a colony-forming assay. Our results help us to understand the biological consequences of ion fragmentation through materials, whether in space or in the clinic, and provide us with a biological basis for the use of hydrogenous materials like PE as effective space shields.

AB Relapse to drug use is a core feature of addiction. Previous studies demonstrate that -gamma-vinyl GABA (GVG), an irreversible GABA transaminase inhibitor, attenuates the acute rewarding effects of cocaine and other addictive drugs. We here report that systemic administration of GVG (25-300 mg/kg) close-dependently inhibits cocaine- or sucrose-induced reinstatement of reward-seeking behavior in rats. In vivo microdialysis data indicated that the same doses of GVG close-dependently elevate extracellular GABA levels in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). However, GVG; when administered systemically or locally into the NAc, failed to inhibit either basal or cocaine-priming enhanced NAc dopamine in either naive rats or cocaine extinction rats. These data suggest that: (1) GVG significantly inhibits cocaine- or sucrose-triggered reinstatement of reward-seeking behavior: and (2) a GABAergic-, but not dopaminergic-, dependent mechanism may underlie the antagonism by GVG of cocaine-triggered reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior, at least with respect to GVG's action on the NAc.

AB Hydrogen adsorption isotherms, evaluated by combination of cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry, are reported on Pt(1 1 1) and Pt(1 0 0) surfaces in 0.1 M HCIO4. We found that at E > 0.05 V Pt(1 1 1) and Pt(1 0 0) are only partially covered by the adsorbed hydrogen (H-ad). On both surfaces, a full monolayer of the adsorbed hydrogen is completed at -0.1 V, i.e. the adsorption of atomic hydrogen is observed in the hydrogen evolution potential region. We also found, that the activity of the hydrogen oxidation reaction is mirrored by the shape of the hydrogen adsorption isotherms, implying that Had is in fact a spectator in the HOR.

ID METALLOIMMUNOASSAY; LABELS
AB We describe a multiplex electrochemical immunoassay based on the use of gold nanoparticle (Au-NP) probes and immunochromatographic strips (ISs). The approach takes advantage of the speed and low cost of the conventional IS tests and the high sensitivities of the nanoparticle-based electrochemical immunoassays. Rabbit IgG (R-IgG) and human IgM (H-IgM) were used as model targets for the demonstration of the proof of concept. The Au-NPs based sandwich immunoreactions were performed on the IS, and the captured gold nanoparticle labels on the test zones were determined by highly sensitive stripping voltammetric measurement of the dissolved gold ions (III) with a carbon paste electrode. The detection limits are 1.0 and 1.5 ng ml(-1) with the linear range of 2.5-250 ng ml(-1) for quantitative detection of R-IgG and H-IgM, respectively. The total assay time is around 25 min. Such multiplex electrochemical immunoassay could be readily highly multiplexed to allow simultaneous parallel detection of numerous proteins and is expected to open new opportunities for protein diagnostics and biosecurity.

AB Human and industrial development over the past hundred years has led to a huge increase in fossil fuel consumption and CO(2) emissions, causing a dramatic increase in atmospheric CO(2) concentration. This increased CO(2) is believed to be responsible for a significant rise in global temperature over the past several decades. Global-scale climate modeling suggests that the temperature increase will continue, at least over the next few hundred years, leading to glacial melting and rising sea levels. Increased atmospheric CO(2) also leads to ocean acidification, which will have drastic consequences for marine ecosystems. In an attempt to solve these problems, many have proposed the large-scale sequestration of CO(2) from our atmosphere. This introductory article presents a summary of some of the evidence linking increasing atmospheric CO(2) concentration to global warming and ocean acidification and our efforts to stem this rise though CO(2) sequestration.

AB Carbon dioxide capture and sequestration (CCS) in deep geological formations has recently emerged as an Important option for reducing greenhouse emissions. If CCS is Implemented on the scale needed to make noticeable reductions in atmospheric CO(2), a billion metric tons or more must be sequestered annually-a 250 fold Increase over the amount sequestered today. Securing such a large volume will require a solid scientific foundation defining the coupled hydrologic-geochemical-geomechanical processes that govern the long-term fate of CO(2) In the subsurface. Also needed are methods to characterize and select sequestration sites, subsurface engineering to optimize performance and cost, approaches to ensure safe operation, monitoring technology, remediation methods, regulatory overview, and an institutional approach for managing long-term liability.

Closing the loop between evaluation and implementation

LA English
DT Article
DE Evaluation; Regulator; Implementer
AB Program implementers often use evaluation results to improve the performance of their programs, but, as described in this paper, this is not always the case. Based on a review of the literature, participation in workshops, and interviews with over 50 program implementers, evaluators, and regulators in the United States and Canada, the utilization of evaluation results is investigated by asking the following questions: (1) How are program evaluation results used by program implementers and other stakeholders? (2) How are program evaluation results communicated to program implementers and other stakeholders? (3) Are the needs of program implementers being met by program evaluation? (4) What is the role of the utility regulator in facilitating the use of program evaluation results? (5) What other mechanisms can facilitate the use of program evaluation results? While there is some consensus on the answers to these questions, the type of interest in and use of evaluation varies by functional role (e.g., evaluator versus implementer), maturity of the energy efficiency market, institutional context (e.g., evaluation and implementation conducted inside the same organization, or evaluation and implementation conducted by separate entities), and by regulatory demands and evaluation interests.

ID GENERATION; OPTIONS
AB Nuclear energy has the potential to play an important role in the future energy system as a large-scale source of hydrogen without greenhouse gas emissions. Thus far, economic studies of nuclear hydrogen tend to focus on the levelized cost of hydrogen without accounting for the risks and uncertainties that potential investors would face. We present a financial model based on real options theory to assess the profitability of different nuclear hydrogen production technologies in evolving electricity and hydrogen markets. The model uses Monte Carlo simulations to represent uncertainty in future hydrogen and electricity prices. It computes the expected value and the distribution of discounted profits from nuclear hydrogen production plants. Moreover, the model quantifies the value of the option to switch between hydrogen and electricity production, depending on what is more profitable to sell. We use the model to analyze the market viability of four potential nuclear hydrogen technologies and conclude that flexibility in output product is likely to add significant economic value for an investor in nuclear hydrogen. This should be taken into account in the development phase of nuclear hydrogen technologies. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB The 10th International Congress on Combustion Byproducts and their Health Effects was held in Ischia, Italy, from June 17-20, 2007. It is sponsored by the US NIEHS, NSF, Coalition for Responsible Waste Incineration (CRWI), and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). The congress focused on: the origin, characterization, and health impacts of combustion-generated fine and ultrafine particles; emissions of mercury and dioxins, and the development/ application of novel analytical/diagnostic tools. The consensus of the discussion was that particle-associated organics, metals, and persistent free radicals (PFRs) produced by combustion sources are the likely source of the observed health impacts of airborne PM rather than simple physical irritation of the particles. Ultrafine particle-induced oxidative stress is a likely progenitor of the observed health impacts, but important biological and chemical details and possible catalytic cycles remain unresolved. Other key conclusions were: (1) In urban settings, 70% of airborne fine particles are a result of combustion emissions and 50% are due to primary emissions from combustion sources, (2) In addition to soot, combustion produces one, possibly two, classes of nanoparticles with mean diameters of similar to 10 nm and similar to 1 nm. (3) The most common metrics used to describe particle toxicity, viz. surface area, sulfate concentration, total carbon, and organic carbon, cannot fully explain observed health impacts, (4) Metals contained in combustion-generated ultrafine and fine particles mediate formation of toxic air pollutants such as PCDD/F and PFRs. (5) The combination of metal-containing nanoparticles, organic carbon compounds, and PFRs can lead to a cycle generating oxidative stress in exposed organisms.

AB This paper describes the genome sequence of Moorella thermoacetica (f. Clostridium thermoaceticum), which is the model acetogenic bacterium that has been widely used for elucidating the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway of CO and CO(2) fixation. This pathway, which is also known as the reductive acetyl-CoA pathway, allows acetogenic (often called homoacetogenic) bacteria to convert glucose stoichiometrically into 3 mol of acetate and to grow autotrophically using H(2) and CO as electron donors and CO(2) as an electron acceptor. Methanogenic archaea use this pathway in reverse to grow by converting acetate into methane and CO(2). Acetogenic bacteria also couple the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway to a variety of other pathways to allow the metabolism of a wide variety of carbon sources and electron donors (sugars, carboxylic acids, alcohols and aromatic compounds) and electron acceptors (CO(2), nitrate, nitrite, thiosulfate, dimethylsulfoxide and aromatic carboxyl groups). The genome consists of a single circular 2 628 784 bp chromosome encoding 2615 open reading frames (ORFs), which includes 2523 predicted protein-encoding genes. Of these, 1834 genes (70.13%) have been assigned tentative functions, 665 (25.43%) matched genes of unknown function, and the remaining 24 (0.92%) had no database match. A total of 2384 (91.17%) of the ORFs in the M. thermoacetica genome can be grouped in orthologue clusters. This first genome sequence of an acetogenic bacterium provides important information related to how acetogens engage their extreme metabolic diversity by switching among different carbon substrates and electron donors/acceptors and how they conserve energy by anaerobic respiration. Our genome analysis indicates that the key genetic trait for homoacetogenesis is the core acs gene cluster of the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway.

AB Members of the uncultured bacterial genus Candidatus Accumulibacter are capable of intracellular accumulation of inorganic phosphate in activated sludge wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal, but were also recently shown to inhabit freshwater and estuarine sediments. Additionally, metagenomic sequencing of two bioreactor cultures enriched in Candidatus Accumulibacter, but housed on separate continents, revealed the potential for global dispersal of particular Candidatus Accumulibacter strains, which we hypothesize is facilitated by the ability of Candidatus Accumulibacter to persist in environmental habitats. In the current study, we used sequencing of a phylogenetic marker, the ppk1 gene, to characterize Candidatus Accumulibacter populations in diverse environments, at varying distances from WWTPs. We discovered several new lineages of Candidatus Accumulibacter which had not previously been detected in WWTPs, and also uncovered new diversity and structure within previously detected lineages. Habitat characteristics were found to be a key determinant of Candidatus Accumulibacter lineage distribution while, as predicted, geographic distance played little role in limiting dispersal on a regional scale. However, on a local scale, enrichment of particular Candidatus Accumulibacter lineages in WWTP appeared to impact local environmental populations. These results provide evidence of ecological differences among Candidatus Accumulibacter lineages.

AB Observations from the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) were used in combination with a large data set of field measurements to map woody above-ground biomass (AGB) across tropical Africa. We generated a best-quality cloud-free mosaic of MODIS satellite reflectance observations for the period 2000-2003 and used a regression tree model to predict AGB at 1 km resolution. Results based on a cross-validation approach show that the model explained 82% of the variance in AGB, with a root mean square error of 50.5 Mg ha(-1) for a range of biomass between 0 and 454 Mg ha(-1). Analysis of lidar metrics from the Geoscience Laser Altimetry System (GLAS), which are sensitive to vegetation structure, indicate that the model successfully captured the regional distribution of AGB. The results showed a strong positive correlation (R(2) = 0.90) between the GLAS height metrics and predicted AGB.

AB We simulated a marine stratus deck sampled during the Marine Stratus/Stratocumulus Experiment (MASE) with a three-dimensional large eddy simulation (LES) model at different model resolutions. Various characteristics of the vertical velocity from the model simulations were evaluated against those derived from the corresponding aircraft in situ observations, focusing on standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, probability density function (PDF), power spectrum, and structure function. Our results show that although the LES model captures reasonably well the lower-order moments (e. g., horizontal averages and standard deviations), it fails to simulate many aspects of the higher-order moments, such as kurtosis, especially near cloud base and cloud top. Further investigations of the PDFs, power spectra, and structure functions reveal that compared to the observations, the model generally underestimates relatively strong variations on small scales. The results also suggest that increasing the model resolutions improves the agreements between the model results and the observations in virtually all of the properties that we examined. Furthermore, the results indicate that a vertical grid size <10 m is necessary for accurately simulating even the standard-deviation profile, posing new challenges to computer resources.

AB This work examines the influences of relative dispersion ( the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean radius of the cloud droplet size distribution) on cloud albedo and cloud radiative forcing, derives an analytical formulation that accounts explicitly for the contribution from droplet concentration and relative dispersion, and presents a new approach to parameterize relative dispersion in climate models. It is shown that inadequate representation of relative dispersion in climate models leads to an overestimation of cloud albedo, resulting in a negative bias of global mean shortwave cloud radiative forcing that can be comparable to the warming caused by doubling CO(2) in magnitude, and that this dispersion bias is likely near its maximum for ambient clouds. Relative dispersion is empirically expressed as a function of the quotient between cloud liquid water content and droplet concentration (i.e., water per droplet), yielding an analytical formulation for the first aerosol indirect effect. Further analysis of the new expression reveals that the dispersion effect not only offsets the cooling from the Twomey effect, but is also proportional to the Twomey effect in magnitude. These results suggest that unrealistic representation of relative dispersion in cloud parameterization in general, and evaluation of aerosol indirect effects in particular, is at least in part responsible for several outstanding puzzles of the aerosol-cloud conundrum: for example, overestimation of cloud radiative cooling by climate models compared to satellite observations; large uncertainty and discrepancy in estimates of the aerosol indirect effect; and the lack of interhemispheric difference in cloud albedo.

AB Recent ice core measurements show lead concentrations increasing since 1970, suggesting new nonautomobile-related sources of Pb are becoming important worldwide (1). Developing a full understanding of the major sources of Pb and other metals is critical to controlling these emissions. During the March, 2006 MILAGRO campaign, single particle measurements in Mexico City revealed the frequent appearance of particles internally mixed with Zn, Pb, Cl, and P. Pb concentrations were as high as 1.14 mu g/m(3) in PM10 and 0.76 mu g/m(3) in PM2.5. Real time measurements were used to select time periods of interest to perform off line analysis to obtain detailed aerosol speciation. Many Zn-rich particles had needle-like structures and were found to be composed of ZnO and/or Zn(NO3)(2)center dot 6H(2)O. The internally mixed Pb-Zn-Cl particles represented as much as 73% of the fine mode particles (by number) in the morning hours between 2-5 am. The Pb-Zn-Cl particles were primarily in the submicrometer size range and typically mixed with elemental carbon suggesting a combustion source. The unique single particle chemical associations measured in this study closely match signatures indicative of waste incineration. Our findings also show these industrial emissions play an important role in heterogeneous processing of NO, species. Primary emissions of metal and sodium chloride particles emitted by the same source underwent heterogeneous transformations into nitrate particles as soon as photochemical production of nitric acid began each day at similar to 7 am.

AB Uranium-containing precipitates have been observed in a dolomitic gravel fill near the Department of Energy (DOE) S-3 Ponds former waste disposal site as a result of exposure to acidic (pH 3.4) groundwater contaminated with U (33 mg L(-1)), Al(3+) (900 mg L(-1)), and NO(3)(-) (14 000 mg L(-1)). The U containing precipitates fluoresce a bright green under ultraviolet (UV) short-wave light which identify U-rich coatings on the gravel. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) microprobe analysis show U concentration ranges from 1.6-19.8% (average of 7%) within the coatings with higher concentrations at the interface of the dolomite fragments. X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy (XANES) indicate that the U is hexavalent and extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) shows that the uranyl is coordinated by carbonate. The exact nature of the uranyl carbonates are difficult to determine, but some are best described by a split K(+)-like shell similar to grimselite [K(4)Na(UO(2))(CO(3))(3)center dot H(2)O] and other regions are better described by a single Ca(2+)-like shell similar to liebigite [Ca(2)(UO(2))(CO(3))(3)center dot 11(H(2)O)] or andersonite [Na(2)CaUO(2)(CO(3))(3)center dot 6H(2)O]. The U precipitates are found in the form of white to light yellow cracked-formations as coatings on the dolomite gravel and as detached individual precipitates, and are associated with amorphous basalumnite [Al(4)(SO(4))(OH)(10)center dot 4H(2)O].

TI Development of a hybrid process and system model for the assessment of
wellbore leakage at a geologic CO(2) sequestration site
SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
LA English
DT Article
ID CEMENT
AB Sequestration of CO(2) in geologic reservoirs is one of the promising technologies currently being explored to mitigate anthropogenic CO(2) emissions. Large-scale deployment of geologic sequestration will require seals with a cumulative area amounting to hundreds of square kilometers per year and will require a large number of sequestration sites. We are developing a system-level model, CO(2)-PENS, that will predict the overall performance of sequestration systems while taking into account various processes associated with different parts of a sequestration operation, from the power plant to sequestration reservoirs to the accessible environment. The adaptability of CO(2)-PENS promotes application to a wide variety of sites, and its level of complexity can be increased as detailed site information becomes available. The model CO(2)-PENS utilizes a science-based-prediction approach by integrating information from process-level laboratory experiments, field experiments/observations, and process-level numerical modeling. The use of coupled process models in the system model of CO(2)-PENS provides insights into the emergent behavior of aggregate processes that could not be obtained by using individual process models. We illustrate the utility of the concept by incorporating geologic and wellbore data into a synthetic, depleted oil reservoir. In this sequestration scenario, we assess the fate of CO(2) via wellbore release and resulting impacts of CO(2) to a shallow aquifer and release to the atmosphere.

AB This study examined the effect of solvent on the analysis of organic aerosol extracts using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) produced by ozonation of d-limonene, as well as several organic molecules with functional groups typical for OA constituents, were extracted in methanol, d(3)-methanol, acetonitrile, and d(3)-acetonitrile to investigate the extent and relative rates of reactions between analyte and solvent. High resolution ESI-MS showed that reactions of carbonyls with methanol produce significant amounts of hemiacetals and acetals on time scales ranging from several minutes to several days, with the reaction rates increasing in acidified solutions. Carboxylic acid groups were observed to react with methanol resulting in the formation of esters. In contrast, acetonitrile extracts showed no evidence of reactions with analyte molecules, suggesting that acetonitrile is the preferred solvent for SOA extraction. The use of solvent-analyte reactivity as a tool for the improved characterization of functional groups in complex organic mixtures was demonstrated. Direct comparison between mass spectra of the same SOA samples extracted in methanol versus acetonitrile was used to estimate the lower limits for the relative fractions of carbonyls (>= 42%) and carboxylic acids (>= 55%) in d-limonene SOA.

ID DYNAMICS
AB It is shown that for Boussinesq flows in which rotation and stratification are equally strong, the forward cascade of potential enstrophy constrains the spectral distribution of horizontal kinetic energy and potential energy. Horizontal kinetic energy is suppressed in the small-aspect-ratio wave modes, and potential energy in suppressed in the large-aspect-ratio wave modes. Scaling estimates based on phenomenological arguments yield scaling of k(h)(-3) and k(z)(-3), respectively, of the two spectra. High-resolution numerical simulations of the Boussinesq equations in the relevant parameter regimes show spectral scaling exponent closer to -4, and hence even stronger suppression than is predicted by dimensional estimates.

AB We investigate the electronic properties of corrugated graphene and show how rippling-induced pseudo-magnetic fields alter graphene's low-energy electronic properties by combining first-principle calculations with an effective field theory. The formation of. at bands near the Fermi level corresponding to pseudo-Landau levels is studied as a function of the rippling parameters. Quenched and relaxed ripples turn out to be fundamentally different is this respect: it is demonstrated, both numerically and analytically, that annealing of quenched ripples can destroy the. at bands.

CA CMS HCAL Collaborations

SO EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL C

DT Article
AB The Outer Hadron Calorimeter (HCAL HO) of the CMS detector is designed to measure the energy that is not contained by the barrel (HCAL HB) and electromagnetic (ECAL EB) calorimeters. Due to space limitation the barrel calorimeters do not contain completely the hadronic shower and an outer calorimeter (HO) was designed, constructed and inserted in the muon system of CMS to measure the energy leakage. Testing and calibration of the HO was carried out in a 300 GeV/c test beam that improved the linearity and resolution. HO will provide a net improvement in missing E (T) measurements at LHC energies. Information from HO will also be used for the muon trigger in CMS.

TI A laboratory search for variation of the fine-structure constant using
atomic dysprosium
SO EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL-SPECIAL TOPICS
LA English
DT Article
AB Electric-dipole transitions between nearly degenerate, opposite parity levels of atomic dysprosium (Dy) were monitored over an eight-month period to search for a variation in the. ne-structure constant, a. The frequencies of these transitions are sensitive to variation of a due to large relativistic corrections of opposite sign for the opposite-parity levels. In this unique system, in contrast to atomic-clock comparisons, the difference of the electronic energies of the opposite-parity levels can be monitored directly utilizing a radio-frequency (rf), electric-dipole transition between them. Our measurements for the frequency variation of the 3.1-MHz transition in 163 Dy and the 235-MHz transition in 162 Dy can be analyzed for both a temporal variation and a gravitational-potential dependence of a since, during the data acquisition period, the Earth is located at different values of the gravitational potential of the Sun. The data provide a rate of fractional temporal variation of a of (-2.7 +/- 2.6) x 10(-15) yr(-1) or a value of (-8.7 +/- 6.6) x 10(-6) for k(alpha), the linear-variation coefficient for a in a changing gravitational potential. These results are independent of assumptions regarding variation of other fundamental constants. The latter result can be combined with other experimental constraints to extract the first limits on k(e) and k(q), which characterize the variation of m(e)/m(p) and m(q)/m(p) in a changing gravitational potential, where m(e), m(p), and m(q) are electron, proton, and quark masses. All results indicate the absence of significant variation at the present level of sensitivity.

AB The charge diffusion is measured in back illuminated, fully depleted, 250 mu m thick CCDs by imaging the diffraction pattern of a double slit. The CCDs studied are the focal plane detectors for the dark energy camera (DECam) instrument currently under construction for the dark energy survey (DES). The results presented here indicate that the dispersion of charge due to diffusion can be kept below the DES specification (sigma(d)< 7.0 mu m ).

TI Structure of the influenza virus A H5N1 nucleoprotein: implications for

AB The threat of a pandemic outbreak of influenza virus A H5N1 has become a major concern worldwide. The nucleoprotein (NP) of the virus binds the RNA genome and acts as a key adaptor between the virus and the host cell. It, therefore, plays an important structural and functional role and represents an attractive drug target. Here, we report the 3.3-angstrom crystal structure of H5N1 NP, which is composed of a head domain, a body domain, and a tail loop. Our structure resolves the important linker segments (residues 397401, 429-437) that connect the tail loop with the remainder of the molecule and a flexible, basic loop (residues 73-91) located in an arginine-rich groove surrounding Arg150. Using surface plasmon resonance, we found the basic loop and arginine-rich groove, but mostly a protruding element containing Arg174 and Arg175, to be important in RNA binding by NP. We also used our crystal structure to build a ring-shaped assembly of nine NP subunits to model the miniribonucleo-protein particle previously visualized by electron microscopy. Our study of H5N1 NP provides insight into the oligomerization interface and the RNA-binding groove, which are attractive drug targets, and it identifies the epitopes that might be used for universal vaccine development.

AB Plasmid pTer331 from the bacterium Collimonas fungivorans Ter331 is a new member of the pIPO2/pSB102 family of environmental plasmids. The 40 457-bp sequence of pTer331 codes for 44 putative ORFs, most of which represent genes involved in replication, partitioning and transfer of the plasmid. We confirmed that pTer331 is stably maintained in its native host. Deletion analysis identified a mini-replicon capable of replicating autonomously in Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida. Furthermore, plasmid pTer331 was able to mobilize and retromobilize IncQ plasmid pSM1890 at typical rates of 10(-4) and 10(-8), respectively. Analysis of the 91% DNA sequence identity between pTer331 and pIPO2 revealed functional conservation of coding sequences, the deletion of DNA fragments flanked by short direct repeats (DR), and sequence preservation of long DRs. In addition, we experimentally established that pTer331 has no obvious contribution in several of the phenotypes that are characteristic of its host C. fungivorans Ter331, including the ability to efficiently colonize plant roots. Based on our findings, we hypothesize that cryptic plasmids such as pTer331 and pIPO2 might not confer an individual advantage to bacteria, but, due to their broad-host-range and ability to retromobilize, benefit bacterial populations by accelerating the intracommunal dissemination of the mobile gene pool.

AB The interactions between two plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR, Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 and Paenibacillus brasilensis PB177), two arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi (Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices) and one pathogenic fungus (Microdochium nivale) were investigated on winter wheat (Triticum aestivum cultivar Tarso) in a greenhouse trial. PB177, but not SBW25, had strong inhibitory effects on M. nivale in dual culture plate assays. The results from the greenhouse experiment show very specific interactions; for example, the two AM fungi react differently when interacting with the same bacteria on plants. Glomus intraradices (single inoculation or together with SBW25) increased plant dry weight on M. nivale-infested plants, suggesting that the pathogenic fungus is counteracted by G. intraradices, but PB177 inhibited this positive effect. This is an example of two completely different reactions between the same AM fungus and two species of bacteria, previously known to enhance plant growth and inhibit pathogens. When searching for plant growth-promoting microorganisms, it is therefore important to test for the most suitable combination of plant, bacteria and fungi in order to achieve satisfactory plant growth benefits.

AB Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electrodes, after their high temperature sintering, may be impregnated (infiltrated) to deposit nanoparticles within their pores. There are two main motivations for modifying the electrodes: (i) to add catalytic function, and (ii) to enhance electronic or ionic conduction pathways, since either or both may not be sufficient within the as-sintered electrodes. The impregnated particles take on two configurations: dispersed or connected. While dispersed nanoparticles introduce catalysts, connected nanoparticulate networks can add conduction paths in addition to enhancing catalysis. This paper reviews the prevalent SOFC electrode types, the function of the impregnated nanoparticles, and the common impregnation methods. Specific attention is given to the optimal uses of each method, with positives and negatives addressed for each.

AB Novel stellarator configurations have been developed for ARIES-CS. These configurations are optimized to provide good plasma confinement and flux surface integrity at high beta. Modular coils have been designed for them in which the space needed for the breeding blanket and radiation shielding was specifically targeted such that reactors generating GW electrical powers would require only moderate major radii (<10 m). These configurations are quasi-axially symmetric in the magnetic field topology and have small numbers of field periods (<= 3) and low aspect ratios (<= 6). The baseline design chosen for detailed systems and power plant studies has three field periods, aspect ratio 4.5, and major radius 7.5 m operating at beta similar to 6.5% to yield 1 GW of electric power. The shaping of the plasma accounts for >= 75% of the rotational transform. The effective helical ripples are very small (<0.6% everywhere), and the energy loss of alpha particles is calculated to be <= 5% when operating in high-density regimes. An interesting feature in this configuration is that instead of minimizing all residues in the magnetic spectrum, we preferentially retained a small amount of the nonaxisymmetric mirror field. The presence of this mirror and its associated helical field alters the ripple distribution, resulting in the reduced ripple-trapped loss of alpha particles despite the long connection length in a tokamak-like field structure. Additionally, we discuss two other potentially attractive classes of configurations, both quasi-axisymmetrie: one with only two field periods, very low aspect ratios (similar to 2.5), and less complex coils, and the other with the plasma shaping designed to produce low-shear rotational transform so as to ensure the robustness and integrity of flux surfaces when operating at high beta.

AB A stellarator systems/optimization code is used to optimize the ARIES-CS fusion power plant parameters for minimum cost of electricity subject to a large number of physics, engineering, and in-vessel component constraints for a compact stellarator configuration. Different physics models, reactor component models, and costing algorithms are used to test sensitivities to models and assumptions. The most important factors determining the size of the fusion power core are the allowable neutron and radiative power fluxes to the wall, the distance needed between the edge of the plasma and the nonplanar magnetic field coils for the intervening components, and an adequate tritium breeding ratio. The magnetic field and coil parameters are determined from both plasma performance and constraints on the Nb3Sn superconductor. The same costing approach and algorithms used in previous ARIES studies are used with updated material costs. The result is a compact stellarator reactor with a major radius close to that of tokamaks. A one-dimensional power balance code is used to study the path to ignition and the effect of different plasma and confinement assumptions on plasma performance for the reference plasma and coil configuration. A number of variations are studied that affect the size and cost of the fusion power core: maximum field at the coils, component cost penalties, a different blanket and shield approach, alternative plasma and coil configurations, etc. Comparisons are made with some earlier ARIES power plant studies. A number of issues for the development of compact quasi-axisymmetric stellarators are identified.

AB The ARIES-CS team has concluded an integrated study of a compact stellarator power plant, involving physics and engineering design optimization. Key engineering considerations include the size of the power core, access for maintenance, and the minimum distance required between the plasma and the coil to provide acceptable shielding and breeding. Our preferred power core option in a three-field-period configuration is a dual-coolant (He + Pb-17Li) ferritic steel modular blanket concept coupled with a Brayton power cycle and a port-based maintenance scheme. In parallel with a physics effort to help determine the location and peak heat load to the divertor, we developed a helium-cooled W alloy/ferritic steel divertor design able to accommodate 10 MW/m(2). We also developed an intercoil structure design to accommodate the electromagnetic forces within each field period while allowing for penetrations required for maintenance, plasma control, coolant lines, and supporting legs for the in-vessel components.
This paper summarizes the key engineering outcomes from the study. The engineering design of the fusion power core components (including the blanket and divertor) are described and key results from the supporting analyses presented, including stress analyses of the components and thermal-hydraulic analyses of the power core coupled to a Brayton cycle. The preferred port-based maintenance scheme is briefly described and the integration of the power core is discussed. The key stellarator-specific challenges affecting the design are highlighted, including the impact of the minimum plasma-coil distance, the maintenance, integration, and coil design requirements, and the need for alpha power accommodation.

AB Within the ARIES-CS project, design activities have focused on developing the first compact device that enhances the attractiveness of the stellarator as a power plant. The objectives of this paper are to review the nuclear elements that received considerable attention during the design process and provide a perspective on their successful integration into the final design. Among these elements are the radial build definition, the well-optimized in-vessel components that satisfy the ARIES top-level requirements, the carefully selected nuclear and engineering parameters to produce an economic optimum, the modeling for the first time ever-of the highly complex stellarator geometry for the three-dimensional nuclear assessment, and the overarching safety and environmental constraints to deliver an attractive, reliable, and truly compact stellarator power plant.

AB The critical issue of divertor configuration for heat and particle flux control in a conceptual ARIES compact stellarator (CS) reactor is addressed. The goal is to determine a divertor location and geometry with a peak heat load of not more than 10 MW/m(2) for a CS equilibrium based on the configuration to be used in the NCSX experiment, optimized for high beta (6.4%) and designed for low alpha-particle power loss fraction (<= 5%). The surface heat flux on the target has three components: thermal particles, lost energetic alphas, and radiation from the core and the scrape-off layer. The first two components are dominant and their magnitudes can be comparable. To maintain a tritium-breeding ratio of 1.1, the total target area should not exceed 15% of the boundary plasma surface area. The divertor concept consists of two pairs of target plates per field period, one pair each at the top and bottom of the plasma. The heat flux profile is assessed by assuming that the parallel transport can be represented by field line mapping and that cross-field transport can be modeled with a prescribed field line diffusion scheme. In this manner, the poloidal and toroidal extents of the plates and their shape and distance to the plasma are designed to intercept all the heat flux and to minimize the peak thermal heat load. An approximate scheme, based on particle drift orbits in the core and field line tracing in the edge, is derived to estimate the alpha-particle heat load distribution over the plates and the first wall. The best plate configuration to date yields total peak heat loads (thermal + alpha) ranging from 5 to 18 MW/m(2). Further optimization of the target plates is required to reach the design goal, which will be addressed in a future study.

AB The ARIES-CS study focusing on the conceptual design and assessment of a compact stellarator power plant identified the important advantages and key issues associated with such a design. The coil configuration and structural support approach represent key design challenges, with the final design and material choices affected by a number of material and geometry constraints. This paper describes the design configuration and analysis and material choices for the ARIES-CS magnets and its structure. To meet aggressive cost and assembly/ maintenance goals, the magnets are designed as lifetime components. Due to the very complex geometry, one of the goals of the study was to provide a robust operational design. This decision has significant implications on cost and manufacturing requirements. Concepts with both conventional and advanced superconductors have been explored. The coil structure design approach adopted is to wind all six modular coils of one field period in grooves in one monolithic coil structural shell (one per field period). The coil structural shells are then bolted together to form a strong structural shell to react the net radial forces. Extensive engineering analyses of the coil system have been performed using ANSYS shell and solid modeling. These include electromagnetic (EM) analyses to calculate the magnetic fields and EM forces and structural analyses to evaluate the structural responses and optimize the coil support system, which has a considerable impact on the cost of the ARIES-CS power plant.

AB ARIES-CS is a 1000 MW(electric) compact stellarator conceptual fusion power plant design. This power plant design contains many innovative features to improve the physics, engineering, and safety performance of the stellarator concept. ARIES-CS utilizes a dual-cooled lead lithium blanket that employs low-activation ferritic steel as a structural material, with the first wall cooled by helium and the breeding zone self-cooled by flowing lead lithium. In this paper we examine the safety and environmental performance of ARIES-CS by reporting radiological inventories, decay heat, and radioactive waste management options and by examining the response of ARIES-CS to accident conditions. These accidents include conventional loss of coolant and loss of flow events, an ex-vessel loss of coolant event, and an in-vessel loss of coolant with bypass event that mobilizes in-vessel radioactive inventories (e.g., tritium and erosion dust from plasma facing components). Our analyses demonstrate that the decay heat can be safely removed from ARIES-CS and the facility can meet the no-evacuation requirement.

AB Forward genetic mutational studies, adaptive evolution, and phenotypic screening are powerful tools for creating new variant organisms with desirable traits. However, mutations generated in the process cannot be easily identified with traditional genetic tools. We show that new high-throughput, massively parallel sequencing technologies can completely and accurately characterize a mutant genome relative to a previously sequenced parental (reference) strain. We studied a mutant strain of Pichia stipitis, a yeast capable of converting xylose to ethanol. This unusually efficient mutant strain was developed through repeated rounds of chemical mutagenesis, strain selection, transformation, and genetic manipulation over a period of seven years. We resequenced this strain on three different sequencing platforms. Surprisingly, we found fewer than a dozen mutations in open reading frames. All three sequencing technologies were able to identify each single nucleotide mutation given at least 10-15-fold nominal sequence coverage. Our results show that detecting mutations in evolved and engineered organisms is rapid and cost-effective at the whole-genome level using new sequencing technologies. Identification of specific mutations in strains with altered phenotypes will add insight into specific gene functions and guide further metabolic engineering efforts.

AB We examined relationships between the pore structure of microaggregates and the protection of organic matter (OM) within that structure. By using ultra-small angle X-ray scattering (USAXS) before and after combustion of microaggregates at 350 degrees C, we took advantage of differences in X-ray scattering contrast among soil minerals, OM, and air to evaluate the distribution of the total- and OM-filled porosity within microaggregates (53-250 mu m in diameter). Systematic changes in microaggregate structure were observed for long-term field manipulations of land use (a chronosequence of tallgrass prairie restorations) and agricultural management (conventional tillage versus no-till at two levels of nitrogen fertilization). Our results imply that OM preservation arose from the evolution of the architectural system of microaggregates during their formation and stabilization. Soils and treatments with increasing OM in microaggregates were associated with encapsulation of colloidal OM by minerals, thereby creating protected OM-filled pores at the submicron scale within the microaggregate structure. For example, in the prairie chronosequence, microaggregates from the cultivated soil had the lowest concentration of OM, but 75% of the OM that had survived cultivation was in OM-filled pores. Following restoration, the concentration of OM in microaggregates increased rapidly, but the proportion of OM in OM-filled pores declined initially and then increased over time until 90% of the OM was in OM-filled pores. OM totally encapsulated within the pore structure can create spatial and kinetic constraints on microbial access to and degradation of OM. Encapsulation of OM increases the capacity for its protection relative to sorption on mineral surfaces, and comparison of its extent among treatments suggests important feedback loops. The use of USAXS, which has not previously been applied to the study of soil aggregate structures and the distribution of OM within those structures, provided new information on the mechanisms of OM protection in soil microaggregates, and insights relevant to strategies for enhancing carbon-sequestration in soil through changes in agricultural management practices and land use.

AB In this paper, we present an integrated set of algorithms for the automatic detection, association, and location of low-frequency acoustic events using regional networks of infrasound arrays. Here, low-frequency acoustic events are characterized by transient signals, which may arise from a range of natural and anthropogenic sources, examples of which include (but are not limited to) earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, explosions, rockets and bolides. First, we outline a new technique for detecting infrasound signals that works successfully in the presence of correlated noise. We use an F-statistic, sequentially adapted to ambient noise conditions, in order to obtain detections at a given statistical significance while accounting for real background noise. At each array, individual arrivals are then grouped together based on measured delay-times and backazimuths. Each signal is identified as either a first or later arrival. First arrivals at spatially separated arrays are then associated using a grid-search method to form events. Preliminary event locations are calculated from the geographic means and spreads of grid nodes associated with each event. We apply the technique to regional infrasound networks in Utah and Washington State. In Utah, over a period of approximately 1 month, we obtain a total of 276 events recorded at three arrays in a geographic region of 6 x 4 degrees. For four ground-truth explosions in Utah, the automatic algorithm detects, associates, and locates the events within an average offset of 5.4 km to the actual explosion locations. In Washington State, the algorithm locates numerous events that are associated with a large coalmine in Centralia, Washington. An example mining-explosion from Centralia is located within 8.2 km of the mine. The methodology and results presented here provide an initial framework for assessing the capability of infrasound networks for regional infrasound monitoring, in particular by quantifying detection thresholds and localization errors.

AB A three-dimensional numerical model of the Pauzhetsky geothermal field has been developed based on a conceptual hydrogeological model of the system. It extends over a 13.6-km(2) area and includes three layers: (1) a base layer with inflow: (2) a geothermal reservoir; and (3) an upper layer with discharge and recharge/infiltration areas. Using the computer program iTOUGH2 [Finsterle, S., 2004. Multiphase inverse modeling: review and iTOUGH2 applications. Vadose Zone J. 3, 747-762], the model is calibrated to a total of 13,675 calibration points, combining natural-state and 1960-2006 exploitation data. The principal model parameters identified and estimated by inverse modeling include the fracture permeability and fracture porosity of the geothermal reservoir, the initial natural upflow rate, the base-layer porosity, and the permeabilities of the infiltration zones. Heat and mass balances derived from the calibrated model helped identify the sources of the geothermal reserves in the field. With the addition of five make-up wells, simulation forecasts for the 2007-2032 period predict a sustainable average steam production of 29 kg/s, which is sufficient to maintain the generation of 6.8 MWe at the Pauzhetsky power plant.

AB The ongoing changes in the global climate expose the world's ecosystems not only to increasing CO2 concentrations and temperatures but also to altered precipitation (P) regimes. Using four well-established process-based ecosystem models (LPJ, DayCent, ORCHIDEE, TECO), we explored effects of potential P changes on water limitation and net primary production (NPP) in seven terrestrial ecosystems with distinctive vegetation types in different hydroclimatic zones. We found that NPP responses to P changes differed not only among sites but also within a year at a given site. The magnitudes of NPP change were basically determined by the degree of ecosystem water limitation, which was quantified here using the ratio between atmospheric transpirational demand and soil water supply. Humid sites and/or periods were least responsive to any change in P as compared with moderately humid or dry sites/periods. We also found that NPP responded more strongly to doubling or halving of P amount and a seasonal shift in P occurrence than that to altered P frequency and intensity at constant annual amounts. The findings were highly robust across the four models especially in terms of the direction of changes and largely consistent with earlier P manipulation experiments and modelling results. Overall, this study underscores the widespread importance of P as a driver of change in ecosystems, although the ultimate response of a particular site will depend on the detailed nature and seasonal timing of P change.

AB M-Band and L-Band Gold spectra between 3 and 5 key and 8 and 13 keV, respectively, have been recorded by a photometrically calibrated crystal spectrometer. The spectra were emitted from the plasma in the laser deposition region of a 'hot hohlraum'. This is a reduced-scale hohlraum heated with approximate to 9 kJ of 351 nm light in a 1 ns square pulse at the OMEGA laser. The space- and time-integrated spectra included L-Band line emission from Co-like to Ne-like gold. The three L-Band line features were identified to be the 3s -> 2p, 3d(5/2) -> 2p(3/2) and 3d(3/2) -> 2p(1/2) transitions at approximate to 9 key, approximate to 10 key and approximate to 13 key, respectively. M-Band 5f -> 3d, 4d -> 3p, and 4p -> 3s transition features from Fe-like to P-like gold were also recorded between 3 and 5 keV. Modeling from the radiation-hydrodynamics code LASNEX, the collisional-radiative codes FLYCHK and SCRAM, and the atomic structure code FAC were used to model the plasma and generate simulated spectra for comparison with the recorded spectra. Through these comparisons, we have determined the average electron temperature of the emitting plasma to be between 6.0 and 6.5 key. The electron temperatures predicted by LASNEX appear to be too large by a factor of about 1.5. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier B.V.

DE X-ray laser; Interferometers; Index of refraction; Plasmas; Anomalous

AB Over the last several years we have predicted and observed plasmas with an index of refraction greater than 1 in the soft X-ray regime. These plasmas are usually a few times ionized and have ranged from low-Z carbon plasmas to mid-Z tin plasmas. Our main calculational tool has been the average-atom code. We have recently observed C(2+) plasmas with an index of refraction greater than 1 at a wavelength of 46.9 nm (26.44 eV). In this paper we compare the average-atom method, AVATOMKG, against two more detailed methods, OPAL and CAM, for calculating the index of refraction for the carbon plasmas and discuss the different approximations used. We present experimental measurements of carbon plasmas that display this anomalous dispersion phenomenon. It is shown that the average-atom calculation is a good approximation when the strongest lines dominate the dispersion. However, when weaker lines make a significant contribution, the more detailed calculations such as OPAL and CAM are essential. During the next decade X-ray free electron lasers and other X-ray sources will be available to probe a wider variety of plasmas at higher densities and shorter wavelengths so understanding the index of refraction in plasmas will be even more essential. With the advent of tunable X-ray lasers the frequency-dependent interferometer measurements of the index of refraction may enable us to determine the absorption coefficients and lineshapes and make detailed comparisons against our atomic physics codes.

AB The motivation for this work is to provide a more accurate and cost effective in-line NLTE capability for calculating plasma properties in large scale radiation-transport hydrodynamic simulations. A method is developed to transform the large detailed atomic models to very small models that can be used for fast in-line calculations. An averaging technique is used to reduce detailed models involving tens of thousands of states into just a few, 10-40 states, per ionization state. The reduced model is more accurate than the average atom models conventionally used in such simulations. In the present work, the averaging scheme is presented and results of the reduced model are compared to the original detailed model and the average atom model. The average ionization state of iron and uranium plasmas under various conditions of material temperature, atom number density, and radiation temperature are compared. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

AB Several applications in biology-e. g., incorporation of protein flexibility in ligand docking algorithms, interpretation of fuzzy X-ray crystallographic data, and homology modeling- require computing the internal parameters of a flexible fragment (usually, a loop) of a protein in order to connect its termini to the rest of the protein without causing any steric clash inside the loop and with the rest of the protein. One must often sample many such conformations in order to explore and adequately represent the conformational range of the studied loop. While sampling must be fast, it is made difficult by the fact that two conflicting constraints-kinematic closure and clash avoidance-must be satisfied concurrently. This paper describes two efficient and complementary sampling algorithms to explore the space of closed clash-free conformations of a flexible protein loop. The "seed sampling" algorithm samples broadly from this space, while the "deformation sampling" algorithm uses seed conformations as starting points to explore the conformation space around them at a finer grain. Computational results are presented for various loops ranging from 5 to 25 residues. More specific results also show that the combination of the sampling algorithms with a functional site prediction software (FEATURE) makes it possible to compute and recognize calcium-binding loop conformations. The sampling algorithms are implemented in a toolkit, called LoopTK, which is available at https://simtk.org/home/looptk.

AB Grazing illumination of smooth sediments by acoustical beams generates a rapidly decaying evanescent transmitted wave. One approach to laboratory-based simulation of this process Is described in this paper. Immiscible liquids are placed in contact, and the acoustical source is placed in the liquid having the lower sound speed. The orientation of the source transducer (a piezo-composite panel) is adjusted to give subcritical beam illumination. An acoustical field that has a significant evanescent component close to the interface is generated in the second liquid. The second liquid (water) has a lower density than the liquid containing the source of the acoustical beam so that the liquid containing the source is trapped below the simulated sediment (the water). This arrangement is convenient for hydrophone scans of the detailed soundfield in the simulated sediment. Above the center of the illuminated region, close to the interface, the field decays exponentially with a fixed phase. Adjacent to the intensely illuminated region there is a sequence of quasi-nulls associated with the interference of relatively weak evanescent and nonevanescent components of the transmitted wave. Similar features are found to be present in soundfields computed using the OASES, a widely used wave-number-integration-based algorithm.

AB An adiabatic matching device (AMD) generates a tapered high-strength magnetic field to capture positrons emitted from a positron target to a downstream accelerating structure. The AMD is a key component of a positron source and represents a technical challenge. The International Linear Collider collaboration is proposing to employ a pulsed, normal-conducting, flux-concentrator to generate a 5 Tesla initial magnetic field. The flux-concentrator structure itself and the interactions between the flux-concentrator and the external power supply circuits give rise to a nontrivial system. In this paper, we present a recently developed equivalent circuit model for a flux concentrator, along with the characteristics of a prototype fabricated for validating the model. Using the model, we can obtain the transient response of the pulsed magnetic field and the field profile. Calculations based on the model and the results of measurements made on the prototype are in good agreement.

ID SIMULATION PLATFORM; GATE; SPECT; PET; TOOLKIT
AB A scintillating crystal's surface reflectance has to be well understood in order to accurately predict and optimize the crystal's light collection through Monte Carlo simulations. In this paper, we measure the inner surface reflectance properties for BGO. The measurements include BGO crystals with a mechanically polished surface, rough-cut surface, and chemically etched surface, and with various reflectors attached, both air-coupled and with coupling compound. The measurements are performed with a laser aimed at the center of a hemispherical shaped BGO crystal. The hemispherical shape eliminates any non-perpendicular angles for light entering and exiting the crystal. The reflected light is collected with an array of photodiodes. The laser can be set at an arbitrary angle, and the photodiode array is rotated to fully cover 2 pi of solid angle. The current produced in the photodiodes is readout with a digital multimeter connected through a multiplexer. The two rows of photodiodes achieve 5-degree by 4-degree resolution, and the current measurement has a dynamic range of 10(5) : 1. The acquired data was not described by the commonly assumed linear combination of specular and diffuse (Lambertian) distributions, except for a very few surfaces. Surface roughness proved to be the most important parameter when choosing crystal setup. The reflector choice was of less importance and of almost no consequence for rough-cut surfaces. Pure specular reflection distribution for all incidence angles was measured for polished surfaces with VM2000 film, while the most Lambertian distribution for any surface finish was measured for titanium dioxide paint. The distributions acquired in this paper will be used to create more accurate Monte Carlo models for light reflection distribution within 1360 crystals.

TI Coupling Deterministic and Monte Carlo Transport Methods for the
Simulation of Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy Scenarios

measurements; radiation detectors; radiation monitoring; simulation
AB Simulation is often used to predict the response of gamma-ray spectrometers in technology viability and comparative studies for homeland and national security scenarios. Candidate radiation transport methods generally fall into one of two broad categories: stochastic (Monte Carlo) and deterministic. Monte Carlo methods are the most heavily used in the detection community and are particularly effective for calculating pulse-height spectra in instruments. However, computational times for scattering- and attenuation-dominated problems can be extremely long-many hours or more on a typical desktop computer. Deterministic codes that discretize the transport in space, angle, and energy offer potential advantages in computational efficiency for these same kinds of problems, but pulse-height calculations are not readily accessible. This paper investigates a method for coupling angular flux data produced by a three-dimensional deterministic code to a Monte Carlo model of a gamma-ray spectrometer. Techniques used to mitigate ray effects, a potential source of inaccuracy in deterministic field calculations, are described. Strengths and limitations of the coupled methods, as compared to purely Monte Carlo simulations, are highlighted using example gamma-ray detection problems and two metrics: 1) accuracy when compared to empirical data and 2) computational time on a typical desktop computer.

AB We report on the design and characterization of a new ASIC for the RatCAP, a head-mounted miniature PET scanner intended for neurological and behavioral studies of an awake rat. The ASIC is composed of 32 channels, each consisting of a charge sensitive preamplifier, a 5-bit programmable gain in the pole-zero network, a 3(rd) order bipolar semi-Gaussian shaper (peaking time or 80 ns), and a timing and energy discriminator. The energy discriminator in each channel is used to arm the zero-crossing discriminator and can be programmed to use either a low energy threshold or an energy gating window. A 32-to-1 serial encoder is embedded to multiplex into a single output the timing information and channel address of every event. Finally, LVDS I/O were integrated on chip to minimize the digital noise on the read-out PCB. The ASIC was realized in the TSMC 0.18 mu m technology, has a size of 3.3 mm x 4.5 mm and a power consumption of 177 mW. The gate length of the N-channel MOSFET input device of the charge sensitive preamplifier was increased to minimize 1/f noise. This led to a factor similar to 1.5 improvement of the ENC with respect to the first version of the ASIC [1]. An ENC of 650 e-rms was measured with the APD biased at the input. In order to predict the achievable timing resolution, a model was derived to estimate the photon noise contribution to the timing resolution. Measurements were performed to validate the model, which agreed within 12%. The coincidence timing resolution between two typical LSO-APD-ASIC modules was measured using a(68)Ge source. Applying a threshold at 420 keV, a timing resolution of 6.7 ns FWHM was measured. An energy resolution of 18.7% FWHM at 511 keV was measured for a(68)Ge source.

SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NUCLEAR SCIENCE

DT Article
DE CdZnTe; radiation detectors; Te inclusions
ID DEFECTS; GROWTH
AB Te inclusions existing at high concentrations in CdZnTe (CZT) material can degrade the performance of CZT detectors. These microscopic defects trap the free electrons generated by incident radiation, so entailing significant fluctuations in the total collected charge and thereby strongly affecting the energy resolution of thick (long-drift) detectors. Such effects were demonstrated in thin planar detectors, and, in many cases, they proved to be the dominant cause of the low performance of thick detectors, wherein the fluctuations in the charge losses accumulate along the charge's drift path. We continued studying this effect using different tools and techniques. We employed a dedicated beam-line recently established at BNL's National Synchrotron Light Source for characterizing semiconductor radiation detectors, along with an IR transmission microscope system, the combination of which allowed us to correlate the concentration of defects with the devices' performances. We present here our new results from testing over 50 CZT samples grown by different techniques. Our goals are to establish tolerable limits on the size and concentrations or these detrimental Te inclusions in CZT material, and to provide feedback to crystal growers to reduce their numbers in the material.

AB Frisch-ring CdZnTe detectors have demonstrated both good energy resolution, < 1% FWHM at 662 keV, and good efficiency in detecting gamma rays, highlighting the strong potential of CdZnTe materials for such applications. We are designing a hand-held gamma-ray spectrometer based on Frisch-ring detectors at Brookhaven National Laboratory. It employs an 8 x 8 CdZnTe detector array to achieve a high volume of 19.2 cm(3), so greatly improving detection efficiency. By using the front-end application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) developed at BNL, this spectrometer has a small profile and high energy-resolution. It includes a signal processing circuit, digitization and storage circuits, a high-voltage module, and a universal serial bus (USB) interface. In this paper, we detail the system's structure and report the results of our tests with it.

AB Multicore processors are an architectural paradigm shift that promises a dramatic increase in performance. But, they also bring an unprecedented level of complexity in algorithmic design and software development. In this paper, we describe the challenges involved in designing a Breadth-First Search (BFS) algorithm for the Cell Broadband Engine (Cell/BE) processor. The proposed methodology combines a high-level algorithmic design that captures the machine-independent aspects to guarantee portability with performance to future processors, with an implementation that embeds processor-specific optimizations. Using a fine-grained global coordination strategy derived from the Bulk-Synchronous Parallel (BSP) model, we have derived an accurate performance model that has guided the implementation and the optimization of our algorithm. Our experiments show an almost linear scaling over the number of used synergistic processing elements in the Cell/BE platform and compares favorably against other systems. On graphs that offer sufficient parallelism, the Cell/BE is typically an order of magnitude faster than conventional processors, such as the AMD Opteron, the Intel Pentium 4, and the Intel Woodcrest and custom-designed architectures such as the MTA-2 and BlueGene/L.

ID CROSS-FIELD TRANSPORT
AB A substantial narrowing of the plume of the cylindrical Hall thruster (CHT) was observed upon the enhancement of the electron emission from the hollow-cathode discharge, which implies the possibility for the thruster efficiency increase due to the ion-beam focusing. It is demonstrated that the miniaturized CHT can be operated in the non-self-sustained regime, with the discharge current being controlled by the cathode electron emission. The thruster operation in this mode greatly expands the range of the plasma and discharge parameters normally accessible for the CHT. The observed variation of the plasma potential, electron temperature, and plasma density with the cathode current in the non-self-sustained regime points to the fact that the cathode discharge can affect the electron cross-field transport in the CHT plasma.

AB A miniaturized cylindrical Hall thruster (CHT) is studied using a 2-D hybrid model. The simulation results are compared with experimental results for 100-W laboratory CHT. The channel of this thruster has a short coaxial part and a longer cylindrical region with a larger volume-to-surface ratio to reduce erosion. The 2-D model combines a fluid description of the electrons (continuity and momentum equations) and a particle description of the ions and the neutral atoms. The simulations confirm that the ionization takes place in the annular part of the channel, while the unusually high propellant utilization efficiency is found to be due to doubly charged ions.

AB Thrusters that exploit vacuum arc discharges to produce high-velocity plasma jets directly or as sources of plasma that is subsequently accelerated electrostatically have been proposed or are currently under development. Vacuum arc discharges exhibit certain regularities in their behavior that allow the performance of these thrusters to be described by simple semiempirical models. Empirical data on the current density distribution, charge state and velocity of ions created in vacuum are discharges, and the total cathode mass loss rate are used to develop expressions for the expected thrust and specific impulse as a function of thruster geometry. Thruster electrical efficiency and thrust-to-power ratio are calculated based on measurements of the burning voltage for given thruster operating parameters. Estimates of achievable thruster performance for a wide range of cathode materials are presented. This analysis suggests that thrusters using vacuum arc sources can be operated efficiently with a range of propellant options that gives great flexibility in specific impulse. In addition, the efficiency of plasma production in these devices appears to be largely independent of scale because the metal vapor is ionized within tens of micrometers of the cathode electron emission sites, so this approach is well suited for micropropulsion.

AB Semi-insulating silicon carbide and gallium nitride are attractive materials for compact high-voltage photoconductive semiconductor switches (PCSSs) due to their large bandgap, high critical electric field strength, and high electron saturation velocity. Carriers must be optically generated throughout the volume of the photoswitch to realize the benefits of the high bulk electric field strength of the 6H-SiC (3 MV/cm) and GaN (3.5 MV/cm) materials. This is accomplished by optically exciting deep extrinsic levels in vanadium-compensated semi-insulating 6H-SiC and iron-compensated semi-insulating GaN. Photoconducting switches with opposing electrodes were fabricated on a-plane 6H-SiC and c-plane GaN substrates. This paper reports what we believe to be the first results of high power photoconductive switching in bulk semi-insulating GaN and reviews the first phase of switch tests of a-plane 6H-SiC PCSS devices.

photoconductive semiconductor switches (PCSSs); pulsed power trigger
generators (TGs); triggering pulsed power switches
AB The development and testing of fiber-optically controlled trigger generators (TGs) based on high gain photoconductive semiconductor switches (PCSSs), constructed from high resistivity GaAs, are described in this paper. The TGs are optimized to trigger the high voltage switches (HVSs) in pulsed power systems, where they control the timing synchronization and amplitude variation of multiple pulse forming lines that combine to produce the total system output. Future pulsed power systems are even more dependent on triggering, as they consist of many more HVS and, in some cases, produce shaped pulses by independent timing of the HVS. The goal of the PCSS TG is to improve timing precision and replace high voltage trigger cables or line-of-sight optics with fiber-optic trigger control. The PCSS trigger has independent EMP-free timing control via 200-mu m-diameter optical fibers. This design is simpler than other TG because optical isolation allows PCSS triggers to be remotely located near the HVS at any voltage. PCSS can improve the performance of prime power HVS, diverters, and diagnostics by supplying trigger pulses with subnanosecond jitter and rise time that are more precise and easily adjusted than the conventional TG. For pulse-charged HVS, the PCSS TG can generally derive their trigger energy from the stray fields of the RVS. High gain PCSS capabilities for producing pulsed power TG have been demonstrated previously (not all simultaneously): 220 kV, 8 kA, 350-ps rise time, 100-ns pulsewidth, 50-ps rms jitter, and 10-kHz repetition rate. Furthermore, PCSS has previously triggered a 300-kV trigatron with 100-ps rms jitter.

AB The Cygnus Dual Beam Radiographic Facility consists of two 2.25-MV 60-kA 50-ns X-ray sources fielded in an underground laboratory at the Nevada Test Site. The tests performed in this laboratory involve the study of the dynamic properties of plutonium and are called subcritical experiments. From end to end, the Cygnus machines utilize the following components: Marx generator, water-filled pulse-forming line (PFL), water-filled coaxial transmission line, three-cell induction voltage adder (IVA), and rod-pinch diode. The upstream transmission line interface to the PFL is via a radial insulator with coaxial geometry. The downstream transmission line terminates in a manifold where the center conductor splits into three lines which individually connect to each of the IVA cell inputs. There is an impedance mismatch at this juncture. It is a concern that a reflected pulse, due to anomalous behavior in the IVA or diode, might initiate breakdown upon arrival at the upstream PFL/transmission line insulator. Therefore, near the beginning of the transmission line, a radial diverter switch is installed to protect the insulator from overvoltage and breakdown. The diverter has adjustable gap spacing and an in-line aqueous-solution (sodium thiosulfate) resistor array for energy dissipation. There are capacitive voltage probes at both ends of the transmission line and on the diverter switch. These voltage signals will he analyzed to determine diverter performance.

AB The generation of high-voltage electrical pulses with very fast rise times is important for several pulsed-power applications. Although several techniques and devices have been used to generate ultrashort rise-time pulses, most suffer from problems relating to reliability, lifetime, and power-handling capacity. Here, the concept of using nonlinear transmission lines is used for attaining ultrashort rise times and pulse sharpening. Numerical simulations are carried out using barium strontium titanate as the dielectric system. The concept is based on using the nonlinear voltage-dependent capacitance of the granular material. The presence of internal grains increases the breakdown strength and also provides for a nonlinear voltage-dependent capacitance that depends on the internal grain size. The output characteristics of transmission lines based on such nonlinear material are simulated. Our results clearly demonstrated rise-time shortening. The results were in agreement with some published experimental data.

DE Jitter; Marx generators; radiography; triggering
AB The Cygnus Dual Beam Radiographic Facility consists of two radiographic sources (Cygnus 1 and 2), each with a dose rating of 4 rd at I m, and a I-mm-diameter spot size. The electrical specifications are the following: 2.25 MV, 60 kA, and 60 ns. This facility is located in an underground environment at the Nevada Test Site (N'rs). These sources were developed as a primary diagnostic for subcritical experiments (SCEs), which are single-shot high-value events. The SCE program was initiated after the 1992 moratorium on underground nuclear testing in support of stockpile stewardship. In such an application, there is an emphasis on reliability and reproducibility. A robust low-jitter trigger system is a key element for meeting these goals. The trigger system was developed with both commercial and project-specific equipment. Although not a trigger element, Marx is included in the analysis since it is the target of the final trigger and is a source of jitter. In addition to the traditional function of a trigger system, there are novel features added to the Cygnus Trigger System to protect the investment of a high-value shot. Details of the trigger system, including elements designed specifically for a subcritical test application, will be presented. The individual electronic components have their nominal delay, and when assembled, they have a system delay with a measured range of jitter. The shot-to-shot jitter will be assessed both individually and in combination. Trigger reliability and reproducibility results will be presented for a substantial number of shots executed at the NTS.

AB This paper investigates the ablation of wires in two-wire tungsten X-pinches driven by an 80-kA current over 50 us. High-resolution imaging using a Nomarski interferometer allows measurements close to the X-pinch cross point, where the ablation "flare" structure is observed to clearly develop during the drive-current rise time. Electron density profiles are recovered as a function of both distance normal to the wire and of time. Results compare favorably to the rocket model of wire ablation. In addition, the density contrast over the ablation "stream" and "gap" structure is measured and compared to similar measurements made using quantitative radiography on the I-MA 250-ns MAGPIE generator at Imperial College London, London, U.K.

AB A dust storm consisting of carbon grains accelerated to speeds of up to similar to 3 km/s has been launched by a plasma jet produced in a coaxial gun. Diamond and graphite powders with grain radii of 0.5-30 mu m have been used. A distinctive feature of this plasma accelerator is that it can use different types of gases and can operate with microparticles having a large range of sizes. Deuterium gas and carbon dust are chosen to be compatible with fusion plasmas as a diagnostic tool. The operating voltages of the coaxial gun are between 5 and 10 kV, and the maximum measured discharge current is 250 kA. High-speed imaging of the plasma jet accelerated by the J x B force, and exiting the gun at 34 km/s, shows a good collimation of the flow for about 1.5 m before it diverges inside a large vacuum tank.

AB We propose and analyse an implicit trust-region method in the general setting of Riemannian manifolds. The method is implicit in that the trust region is defined as a superlevel set of the rho ratio of the actual over-predicted decrease in the objective function. Since this method potentially requires the evaluation of the objective function at each step of the inner iteration, we do not recommend it for problems where the objective function is expensive to evaluate. However, we show that on some instances of a very structured problem-the extreme symmetric eigenvalue problem or equivalently the optimization of the Rayleigh quotient on the unit sphere-the resulting numerical method outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms. Moreover, the new method inherits the detailed convergence analysis of the generic Riemannian trust-region method.

AB In this study, the absorption properties of CO2 in seven different solid amine absorbents were measured. The specific characteristics, such as absorption capacity, absorption/desorption rate, cyclic capacity, cycle decay effect, temperature of reaction in the absorber, and optimal conditions for the CO,) absorption process were measured. This absorption process occurred at two temperatures-either 296.15 or 313.15 K-while the desorption process temperature was raised to 348.15 K. The solid amines (TEPAN and E-100AN) demonstrated higher cyclic capacity than others under these conditions. Our testing showed high reproducibility for the CO2 capture of TEPAN and E-100AN in measuring their cyclic capacity. Diminished cyclic capacities were noted for the MEA and 194B materials, with measured drops at the third cycle of about 16.17% and 15.79% lower than those in the first cycle, respectively.

SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY & APPLICATIONS

DT Article
DE Geometric modeling; dataflow; parallel computation
ID REPRESENTATION; POLYHEDRA
AB We introduce a parallel approach to geometric modeling of complex objects and scenes, combining a dataflow streaming of BSP trees with a partition of the object space into independent portions, to be evaluated in parallel with minimal interprocess communication. Binary Space Partition ( BSP) is a space index used in graphics for hidden-surface removal and animation. We use BSP trees with fuzzy leaves as a progressive representation of solid meshes. Our approach is implemented as a dataflow with processes that progress concurrently, where each refinement of the input to a process is mapped instantly to a refinement of the output, so that the result is also a stream of progressive refinements. This framework allows for progressive generation of complex geometric parts and large-scale assemblies. We have adapted several graphics techniques, including BSP, boundary polygons, CSG, splines and subdivision methods, to fit into our dataflow graph, where four types of processes produce, transform, combine or consume mesh cells. This approach is scalable over different kinds of HPC hardware and different number of computing nodes, by way of the decomposition of the object space and of the distribution of computational processes. Compiling a generative geometric expression into a dataflow graph is well suited to SMP machines, whereas a space decomposition into independent portions fits well with computing clusters and grids.

AB Saline aquifers of high permeability bounded by overlying/underlying seals may be surrounded laterally by low-permeability zones, possibly caused by natural heterogeneity and/or faulting. Carbon dioxide (CO2) injection into and storage in such "closed" systems with impervious seals, or "semi-closed" systems with non-ideal (low permeability) seals, is different from that in "open" systems, from which the displaced brine can easily escape laterally. in closed or semi-closed systems, the pressure buildup caused by continuous industrial-scale CO2 injection may have a limiting effect on CO2 storage capacity, because geomechanical damage caused by overpressure needs to be avoided. In this research, a simple analytical method was developed for the quick assessment of the CO2 storage capacity in such closed and semi-closed systems. This quick-assessment method is based on the fact that native brine (of an equivalent volume) displaced by the cumulative injected CO2 occupies additional pore volume within the storage formation and the seals, provided by pore and brine compressibility in response to pressure buildup. With non-ideal seals, brine may also leak through the seals into overlying/underlying formations. The quick-assessment method calculates these brine displacement contributions in response to an estimated average pressure buildup in the storage reservoir. The CO2 storage capacity and the transient domain-averaged pressure buildup estimated through the quick-assessment method were compared with the "true" values obtained using detailed numerical simulations of CO2 and brine transport in a two-dimensional radial system. The good agreement indicates that the proposed method can produce reasonable approximations for storage-formation-seal systems of various geometric and hydrogeological properties.

AB Storage of large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) in deep geologic formations for greenhouse-gas mitigation is gaining momentum and moving from its conceptual and testing stages towards widespread application. In this work we explore various optimization strategies for characterizing surface leakage (seepage) using near-surface measurement approaches such as accumulation chambers and eddy covariance towers. Seepage characterization objectives and limitations need to be defined carefully from the outset especially in light of large natural background variations that can mask seepage. The cost and sensitivity of seepage detection are related to four critical length scales pertaining to the size of the: (1) region that needs to be monitored; (2) footprint of the measurement approach, and (3) main seepage zone; (4) region in which concentrations or fluxes are influenced by seepage. Seepage characterization objectives may include one or all of the tasks of detecting, locating, and quantifying seepage. Each of these tasks has its own optimal strategy. Detecting and locating seepage in a region in which there is no expected or preferred location for seepage nor existing evidence for seepage requires monitoring on a fixed grid, e.g., using eddy covariance towers. The fixed-grid approaches needed to detect seepage are expected to require large numbers of eddy covariance towers for large-scale geologic CO2 storage. Once seepage has been detected and roughly located, seepage zones and features can be optimally pinpointed through a dynamic search strategy, e.g., employing accumulation chambers and/or soil-gas monitoring. Quantification of seepage rates can be done through measurements on a localized fixed grid once the seepage is pinpointed. Background measurements are essential for seepage detection in natural ecosystems. Artificial neural networks are considered as regression models useful for distinguishing natural system behavior from anomalous behavior suggestive of CO2 seepage without need for detailed understanding of natural system processes. Because of the local extrema in CO2 fluxes and concentrations in natural systems, simple steepest-descent algorithms are not effective and evolutionary computation algorithms are proposed as a paradigm for dynamic monitoring networks to pinpoint CO2 seepage areas.

AB Heat transfer and laminar fluid flow in an array of parallel microchannels etched on a silicon substrate with water as the circulating fluid was studied numerically. The fluid region consisted of a microchannel with a hydraulic diameter of 85.6 mu m and aspect ratios ranging from 0.10 to 1.0. A constant heat flux of 90 W/cm(2) was applied to the y = H face of the computational domain, which simulates thermal energy generation from an integrated circuit. Generalized transport equations were discretized and solved in three dimensions for velocities, pressure, and temperature. The SIMPLE algorithm [S.V. Patankar, Numerical Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow, Hemisphere, New York, 1980] was used to link pressure and velocity fields, and a thermally repeated boundary condition was applied in the lateral direction to model the repeating nature of the geometry. The numerical results for apparent friction coefficient and convective thermal resistance at the channel inlet and exit closely matched the experimental data in the literature for the case of 0.32 aspect ratio. Apparent friction coefficients were found to increase linearly with Reynolds number. inlet and outlet thermal resistance values monotonically decreased with increasing Reynolds number and increased with aspect ratio.

AB This paper presents comparisons of recent experimental data, presented in a companion paper, to the existing correlations for heat transfer in various gas flow regimes and development of more accurate new correlations. The existing correlation of Celeta et al. showed the best agreement with the data in the turbulent heat transfer regime, while most of the existing correlations for laminar heat transfer showed unsuccessful predictions. Three new sets of correlations, each covering the mixed convection laminar, normal turbulent and deteriorated turbulent heat transfer (DTHT) regimes for heated gas up-flow, have been developed to agree better with the data in each regime.

AB Numerical simulations of shell-and-tube heat exchanger and chemical decomposer with straight tube configuration and porous media were performed using FLUENT6.2.16 to examine the percentage decomposition of sulfur trioxide. The decomposition process can be a part of sulfur-iodine (S-I) thermochemical water splitting cycle, which is one of the most studied cycles for hydrogen production. A steady-state, laminar, two-dimensional axisymmetric shell-and-tube model with counter flow and parallel flow arrangements and simple uniform cubical packing was developed using porous medium approach to investigate the fluid flow, heat transfer and chemical reactions in the decomposer. As per the investigation, the decomposition percentage of sulfur trioxide for counter flow arrangement was found to be 93% and that of parallel flow was 92%. Also, a high pressure drop was observed in counter flow arrangement compared to parallel flow. The effects of inlet velocity, temperature and the porous medium properties on the pressure drop across the porous medium were studied. The influence of geometric parameters mainly the diameter of the tube, diameter of the shell and the length of the porous zone on the percentage decomposition of sulfur trioxide in the tube was investigated as well. A preliminary parametric study of the mentioned configuration is conducted to explore effects of varying parameters on the decomposition of sulfur trioxide. From the performed calculations, it was found that the Reynolds number played a significant role in affecting the sulfur trioxide decomposition. The percentage decomposition decreases with an increase in Reynolds number. Surface-to-volume area ratio and activation energy were also the important parameters that influenced the decomposition percentage. A high surface-to-volume area ratio enhances the rate of the chemical reaction and high activation energy decreases the decomposition percentage. The decomposition of sulfur trioxide is calculated and compared for both counter and parallel flow arrangements. (C) 2008 International Association for Hydrogen Energy. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INFORMATION SECURITY

DE network security; wireless security; host identification
AB Computer networks have become increasingly ubiquitous. However, with the increase in networked applications, there has also been an increase in difficulty to manage and secure these networks. The proliferation of 802.11 wireless networks has heightened this problem by extending networks beyond physical boundaries. We present a statistical analysis and propose the use of spectral analysis to identify the type of wireless network interface card (NIC). This mechanism can be applied to support the detection of unauthorized systems that use NICs that are different from that of a legitimate system. We focus on active scanning, a vaguely specified mechanism required by the 802.11 standard that is implemented in the hardware and software of the wireless NIC. We show that the implementation of this function influences the transmission patterns of a wireless stream that are observable through traffic analysis. Our mechanism for NIC identification uses signal processing to analyze the periodicity embedded in the wireless traffic caused by active scanning. A stable spectral profile is created from the periodic components of the traffic and used for the identity of the wireless NIC. We show that we can distinguish between NICs manufactured by different vendors, with zero false positives, using the spectral profile. Finally, we infer where, in the NIC, the active scanning algorithm is implemented.

TI A simple model to simulate electromagnetic sheet free bulging process
SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCES
LA English
DT Article
DE Electromagnetic sheet forming; Finite elements; Free bulging;
Viscoplasticity
ID METAL; FORMULATION
AB Electromagnetic sheet forming is a high-velocity forming process driven by the coupled electromagnetic and mechanical phenomena. The deformation of the workpiece is governed by the body forces (Lorentz forces) that results from a pulsed magnetic field produced by a flat spiral coil. Formability can be increased using this high-velocity forming technique due to the inertial forces and high strain rates. In this study, we consider the electromagnetic and the mechanical aspect of the process as two independent problems. The finite difference method has been employed to solve the electromagnetic equations. The pressure acting on the sheet and due to the Lorentz forces is estimated neglecting the influence of the sheet velocity on the magnetic field. Then it has been treated as a load in the mechanical problem. Numerical simulations of the mechanical problem have been performed with the commercial finite element code ABAQUS/Explicit. The magnetic pressure has been introduced in ABAQUS/Explicit as an analytical pressure distribution. The general objective of this study is to better understand the complex phenomenon of deformation and the influence of viscoplastic material behaviour during the simulation of a free bulging electromagnetic sheet forming process.

AB A new formalism closely related to the Method of Moments of Coupled-Cluster equations (MMCC) is obtained by embedding approximate coupled cluster (CC) or equation-of-motion CC (EOMCC) formalism into a formalism which uses cluster or excitation operators defined by excitation operators of higher rank with respect to a given approximation. Noniterative corrections akin to completely renormalized EOM-CCSD(T) corrections reveal structural similarities to the CCSD(T) corrections for the ground state. Several benchmark calculations on the O-3 and Cl2O molecules are discussed to illustrate the performance of this approach. (c) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB All-electron all-virtual spinor space (AVSS) relativistic second order Moller-Plesset (RMP2), coupled-cluster singles doubles (RCCSD), RCCSD(T) (RCCSD Plus the triple excitation correction included perturbationally) calculations are reported for tetrahedral (T-d) PbH4 at various bond lengths using our finite contracted universal Gaussian basis set. Our relativistic calculations predict the RMP2, RCCSD, and RCCD(T) molecular correlation energy for PbH4 as -2.2563, -2.1917, and -2.2311 au, respectively. Ours are the first AVSS RMP2, RCCSD, and RCCSD(T) molecular calculations for electron correlation energy of the heavy element molecule PbH4. All-electron AVSS coupled-cluster calculations for the Pb atom are also reported and these were used (in conjunction with the corresponding molecular electron correlation energy calculations for PbH4) to predict atomization energy (A(e)) of PbH4 at various levels of coupled-cluster electron correlation. Our predicted atomization energy for PbH4 (at the optimized bond length of 1.749 angstrom) with our Dirac-Fock, RM.P2, RCCSD, and RCCSD(T) calculations is 5.73, 7.27, 11.24, and 11.62 eV, respectively. Neither such relativistic molecular correlation energy nor atomization energy has been reported so far for heavy polyatomic with 86 electrons. Calculation of relativistic molecular correlation energy is no more a nightmare, and bottlenecks are broken for the calculation of relativistic correlation as well as atomization energy for molecules of heavy elements.

TI Spin echo scattering angle measurement at a pulsed neutron source
SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED CRYSTALLOGRAPHY
LA English
DT Article
AB Two experiments were performed to adapt spin echo scattering angle measurement (SESAME) to pulsed neutron sources. SESAME is an interferometric method that provides enhanced resolution of neutron scattering angles without the loss of neutron intensity that results when collimation is used to improve angular resolution. The method uses the neutron equivalent of optical wave plates to produce a phase difference between the two neutron spin components of a polarized neutron beam. Because the wave plate is inclined to the neutron beam, this phase difference depends sensitively on the trajectory of the neutron. In the absence of a sample, a second wave plate, which is parallel to the first, undoes the phase difference introduced by the first wave plate, producing a polarization identical to that of the incident neutron beam. When a scattering sample is placed between the two neutron wave plates, the cancellation of the phase difference between the neutron spin states is not perfect and the resulting neutron-beam polarization is a measure of the distribution of scattering angles. In the first experiment, thin (30 and 60 mu m-thick) magnetized Permalloy films were used as neutron wave plates. In a second experiment, current-carrying solenoids with triangular cross sections were used as birefringent prisms for neutrons. The arrangement of these prisms was such that they mimicked the effect of the neutron wave plates in the first experiment. In both experiments, correlation lengths in the scattering sample of about 1000 A were probed using very simple and inexpensive equipment. These experiments brought to light a number of advantages and disadvantages of implementing SESAME at pulsed neutron sources and provided insights into the relative merits of SESAME and traditional small-angle neutron scattering.

AB Results are presented for an in situ synchrotron-based ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS) study of the solution-mediated formation and growth of nanocrystalline ceria (n-CeO(2)) using a new remote-controlled, isothermal, circulating fluid flow cell. The fluid flow mitigates or reduces X- ray beam-induced damage, air bubbles or particulate flocculation within the bulk solution, but prevents any coarse particulates that do form from settling out from suspension. Combined with the large-scale range accessible in USAXS studies, the flow cell has enabled measurement, in situ and in real time, of structural characteristics from 10 angstrom to a few micrometres in size as a function of the changing physical and chemical conditions. By applying a multi-component model, the nanoparticle formation and growth component has been identified. Control and online monitoring of flow rate, temperature and pH suspension conditions have permitted real-time studies of the formation and growth of the individual n-CeO(2) particles from homogeneous dilute solution over several hours. Aspects of the nanoparticle nucleation and growth are revealed that have not been observed directly in measurements on this system.

AB Aims: Having and executing a well-defined and validated sampling protocol is critical following a purposeful release of a biological agent for response and recovery activities, for clinical and epidemiological analysis and for forensic purposes. The objective of this study was to address the need for validated sampling and analysis methods called out by the General Accounting Office and others to systematically compare the collection efficiency of various swabs and wipes for collection of bacterial endospores from five different surfaces, both porous and nonporous. This study was also designed to test the collection and extraction solutions used for endospore recovery from swabs and wipes.
Methods and Results: Eight collection tools, five swabs and three wipes, were used. Three collection/preservation solutions were evaluated: an ink jet aerosol generator was used to apply Bacillus subtilis endospores to five porous and nonporous surfaces. The collection efficiencies of the swabs and wipes were compared using a statistical multiple comparison analysis.
Conclusions: The ScottPure (R) wipe had the highest collection efficiency and phosphate-buffered saline (PBST) with 0.3% Tween was the best collection solution of those tested.
Significance and Impact of the Study: Validated sampling for potential biological warfare is of significant importance and this study answered some relevant questions.

AB We have shown that the magnetic properties of nanoparticles may be tuned from superparamagnetic to ferromagnetic by changing the substrate or thin film matrix in which they are embedded. Nickel nanoparticles were embedded into alumina, titanium nitride, and cerium oxide matrices on both silicon and sapphire substrates via pulsed laser deposition. The laser ablation time on the nickel target was kept constant. Only nickel nanoparticles in cerium oxide showed characteristics of ferromagnetism (room temperature coercivity and remanence). Ni nanoparticles, in either alumina or titanium nitride, possessed blocking temperatures below 200 K. Detailed scanning transmission electron microscopy analysis has been conducted on the samples embedded into cerium oxide on both substrates and related to the magnetic data.

AB A plasma polymerization method was employed to deposit an ultrathin pyrrole film of 3 nm onto the surfaces of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and Al(2)O(3) nanoparticles for developing high-strength nanocomposites. The surfaces of plasma coated SWCNTs and Al(2)O(3) nanoparticles were studied by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy. After sintering the SWCNTs-Al(2)O(3) composites at different temperatures (maximum of 1200 degrees C), the thermal stability of plasma-coated SWCNTs was significantly increased, compared to their uncoated counterparts. After hot-press sintering, the SWCNTs without plasma coating were essentially decomposed into amorphous clusters in the composites, leading to degraded mechanical properties. However, under the same sintering conditions, the plasma surface modified SWCNTs were well preserved and distributed in the composite matrices. The effects of plasma surface coating on the thermal stability of SWCNTs and mechanical behavior of the nanocomposites are discussed. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics.

AB Integrated magnetic modeling and design are important to meet the requirements for (1) formation, (2) translation, and (3) compression of a field reversed configuration (FRC) for magnetized target fusion. Off-the-shelf solutions do not exist for many generic design issues. A predictive capability for time-dependent magnetic diffusion in realistically complicated geometry is essential in designing the experiment. An eddy-current code was developed and used to compute the mutual inductances between driven magnetic coils and passive magnetic shields (flux excluder plates) to calculate the self-consistent axisymmetric magnetic fields during the first two stages. The plasma in the formation stage was modeled as an immobile solid cylinder with selectable constant resistivity and magnetic flux that was free to readjust itself. It was concluded that (1) use of experimentally obtained anomalously large plasma resistivity in magnetic diffusion simulations is sufficient to predict magnetic reconnection and FRC formation, (2) comparison of predicted and experimentally observed timescales for FRC Ohmic decay shows good agreement, and (3) for the typical range of resistivities, the magnetic null radius decay rate scales linearly with resistivity. The last result can be used to predict the rate of change in magnetic flux outside of the separatrix (equal to the back-emf loop voltage), and thus estimate a minimum theta-coil loop voltage required to form an FRC.

AB We develop and validate an interatomic potential for ruthenium based on the embedded atom method framework with the Finnis/Sinclair representation. We confirm that the potential yields a stable hcp lattice with reasonable lattice and elastic constants and surface and stacking fault energies. We employ molecular dynamics simulations to bring two surfaces together, one flat and the other with a single asperity. We compare the process of asperity contact formation and breaking in Au and Ru, two materials currently in use in microelectromechanical system switches. While Au is very ductile at 150 and 300 K, Ru shows considerably less plasticity at 300 and 600 K (approximately the same homologous temperature). In Au, the asperity necks down to a single atom thick bridge at separation. While similar necking occurs in Ru at 600 K, it is much more limited than in Au. On the other hand, at 300 K, Ru breaks by a much more brittle process of fracture/decohesion with limited plastic deformation. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics. [DOI: 10.1063/1.2991301]

AB We characterize the time evolution of ion spatial distributions in a laser-produced plasma. Krypton ions are produced in strong, linearly and circularly polarized optical laser fields (10(14)-10(15) W/cm(2)). The Kr(+) ions are preferentially detected by resonant x-ray absorption. Using microfocused, tunable x rays from Argonne's Advanced Photon Source, we measure ion densities as a function of time with 10 mu m spatial resolution for times <= 50 ns. For plasma densities of the order of 10(14) cm(-3), we observe a systematic expansion of the ions outward from the laser focus. We find the expansion timescale to be independent of the plasma density though strongly dependent on the plasma shape and electron temperature. The former is defined by the laser focus, while the latter is controlled by the laser polarization state. We have developed a fluid description assuming a collisionless quasineutral plasma, which is modeled using a particle-in-cell approach. This simulation provides a quantitative description of the observed behavior and demonstrates the role of the very different electron temperatures produced by circularly and linearly polarized light. These results demonstrate the utility of this method as an in situ probe of the time and spatial evolution of laser-produced plasmas. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics. [DOI: 10.1063/1.2991339]

AB The experimental study of grain growth in nanocrystalline metallic foils under ion irradiation showed the existence of a low-temperature regime (below about 0.15-0.22T(m)), where grain growth is independent of the irradiation temperature, and a thermally assisted regime where grain growth is enhanced with increasing irradiation temperature. A model is proposed to describe grain growth under irradiation in the temperature-independent regime, based on the direct impact of the thermal spikes on grain boundaries. In the model, grain-boundary migration occurs by atomic jumps, within the thermal spikes, biased by the local grain-boundary curvature driving. The jumps in the spike are calculated based on Vineyard's analysis of thermal spikes and activated processes using a spherical geometry for the spike. The model incorporates cascade structure features such as subcascade formation, and the probability of subcascades occurring at grain boundaries. This results in a power law expression relating the average grain size with the ion dose with an exponent equal to 3, in agreement with the experimental observations. The model is applied to grain growth observed in situ in a transmission electron microscope in a wide range of doses, temperature, and irradiation conditions for four different pure metals, and shown to predict well the results in all applicable cases. Some discussions are also presented on the expansion of the model to the thermally assisted regime. The paper is organized in six sections. Section I gives background and literature review, while Secs. II s3 review experimental methods and results for in situ grain growth under irradiation. Section IV derives the model proposed to find the grain-growth equation in the nonthermal regime, and in Sec. V the model is applied to the results. In Sec. VI grain growth in the thermally assisted regime is discussed and Sec. VII presents the conclusions. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics. [DOI:10.1063/1.2988142]

AB Compressional and shear wave velocities as well as unit-cell volumes across the alpha-omega transition of Zr have been measured up to 10.5 GPa at room temperature using ultrasonic interferometry in conjunction with synchrotron x radiation. In the pressure range of 5.0 to 6.2 GPa, a mixture of alpha and omega phase is clearly identified and the alpha phase is completely transformed to omega phase at 6.8 GPa. The measured velocity jumps across the alpha-omega transition are 9.6% and 13.1% for P and S waves, respectively. Negative pressure dependence for the shear modulus of alpha-Zr has been found at pressures from 1.4 to 2.9 GPa, which may be ascribed to the shear instability of the alpha phase prior to transition. According to velocity data, the onset pressure of the alpha-omega transition is determined to be similar to 4.0 GPa. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics. [DOI: 10.1063/1.2987001]

AB Manganin stress gauges in lateral orientation have been used to monitor the shock response of Ti-6Al-4V when loaded either parallel to or radial to the long axis of the original bar stock studied in this investigation. Materials characterization has shown that the c-axis of the hexagonal unit cell is preferentially orientated radially to the axis of the bar. Shear strengths measured along the long axis of the bar were found to be in agreement with previous data in the literature, while strength in the radial direction was found to be significantly lower. It was also noted that the lateral stress, when measured in the radial direction, displayed a pronounced drop in the lateral stress after reaching the peak shock stress unlike the longitudinal orientation. This decrease is indicative of an increase in shear strength behind the shock front. In both instances, it is postulated that extensive deformation twinning during the early stages of deformation in the shock and thereafter c+a slip and dislocation tangling builds up over a longer time period, resulting in the higher degree of hardening noted.

AB Structural changes of alpha-FeSi(2) induced by electron beam irradiation have been investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Single crystals of Si(111) were implanted with 120 keV Fe ions at -150 degrees C to a fluence of 1.0x10(17) /cm(2), followed by thermally annealing at 350-550 degrees C. Cross-sectional and plan-view TEM observations revealed the formation of the metastable alpha-FeSi(2) in the annealed samples. Under high-energy electron beam irradiation, the alpha-phase changed to a metastable crystalline phase whose structure is close to the CsCl structure. The phase transformation was caused mainly by displacement damage processes and suggests a low displacement energy for Fe atoms (< 9 eV). To explain these observations, it was considered that vacancies in alpha-FeSi(2) are responsible for the electron irradiation-induced phase transformation. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics.

AB Aluminum-doped ZnO (AZO) films were epitaxially grown on sapphire (0001) substrates using pulsed laser deposition. As-deposited AZO films had a low resistivity of 8.01x10(-4) Omega cm. However, after annealing at 450 degrees C in air, the electrical resistivity of the AZO films increased to 1.97x10(-1) Omega cm because of a decrease in the carrier concentration. Subsequent annealing of the air-annealed AZO films in H-2 recovered the electrical conductivity of the AZO films. In addition, the conductivity change was reversible upon repeated air and H-2 annealing. A photoluminescence study showed that oxygen interstitial (O-i(')) is a critical material parameter allowing for the reversible control of the electrical conducting properties of AZO films.

ID SUPERCONDUCTIVITY; PSEUDOPOTENTIALS
AB Electronic structures of nanodiamond crystals are elucidated by means of first principles calculations. It is found that the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of diamond molecules forms the conduction band with a parabolic dispersion centered at the momentum origin. This results in a direct band gap in the nanodiamond crystal, which contrasts sharply with the indirect gap in bulk diamond. The corresponding light absorption/emission energy can be tuned within the ultraviolet wavelength range by choosing different nanodiamonds, which provides significant potential for their optoelectronic applications.

ID ISENTROPIC COMPRESSION; IMPACT; MODEL
AB A general formulation was developed to represent material models for applications in dynamic loading. Numerical methods were devised to calculate response to shock and ramp compression and ramp decompression, generalizing previous solutions for scalar equations of state. The numerical methods were found to be flexible and robust, and matched analytic results to a high accuracy. The basic ramp and shock solution methods were coupled to solve for composite deformation paths, such as shock-induced impacts and shock interactions with a planar interface between different materials. These calculations capture much of the physics of typical material dynamics experiments, without requiring spatially resolving simulations. Example calculations were made of loading histories in metals, illustrating the effects of plastic work on the temperatures induced in quasi-isentropic and shock-release experiments and the effect of a phase transition.

AB The structure of a single antiparallel ferroelectric domain wall in LiNbO3 is quantitatively mapped by piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM) with calibrated probe geometry. The PFM measurements are performed for 49 probes with the radius varying from 10 to 300 nm. The magnitude and variation of the experimental piezoelectric coefficient across a domain wall match the profiles calculated from a comprehensive analytical theory, as well as three-dimensional finite element method simulations. Quantitative agreement between experimental and theoretical profile widths is obtained only when a finite disk-type tip radius that is in true contact with the sample surface is considered, which is in agreement with scanning electron microscopy images of the actual tips after imaging. The magnitude of the piezoelectric coefficient is shown to be independent of the tip radius, and the PFM profile width is linearly proportional to the tip radius. Finally we demonstrate a method to extract any intrinsic material broadening of the ferroelectric wall width. Surprisingly wide wall widths of up to 100 nm are observed in the limit of zero tip radius. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics. [DOI: 10.1063/ 1.2979973]

AB First-principles calculations have been carried out to study the electronic properties of A(2)Ti(2)O(7) (A=Sm, Gd, Er) pyrochlores. It was found that f electrons have negligible effect on the structural and energetic properties, but have significant effect on the electronic properties. Density of state analysis shows that A-site 4f electrons do take part in the chemical bonding. Also, we found that < Gd-O(48f)> bond is less covalent than < Sm-O(48f)> and < Er-O(48f)> bonds, while < Ti-O(48f)> bond in Gd(2)Ti(2)O(7) is more covalent. It was proposed that for A(2)Ti(2)O(7) (A=Sm, Gd, Er) pyrochlores, < Ti-O(48f)> bonds may play more significant role in determining their radiation resistance to amorphization.

AB We examined bulklike Heusler nanocrystals using real-space pseudopotentials constructed within density functional theory. The nanocrystals were made of various compositions of Ni-Mn-Ga in the size range from 15 up to 169 atoms. Among these compositions, the closest to the stoichiometric Ni2MnGa were found to be the most stable. The Ni-based nanocrystals retained a tendency for tetragonal distortion, which is inherited from the bulk properties. Surface effects suppress the tetragonal structure in the smaller Ni-based nanocrystals, while bigger nanocrystals develop a bulklike tetragonal distortion. We suggest the possibility of switchable Ni-Mn-Ga nanocrystals, which could be utilized for magnetic nanoshape-memory applications. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics. [DOI: 10.1063/1.2988189]

AB In this work, we investigate He-3 magnetic resonance imaging as a noninvasive morphometric tool to assess emphysematous disease state on a local level. Emphysema was induced intratracheally in rats with 25 U/100 g body wt of porcine pancreatic elastase dissolved in 200 mu l saline. Rats were then paired with saline-dosed controls. Nine three-dimensional (3D) He-3 diffusion-weighted images were acquired at 1, 2, or 3 wk postdose, after which the lungs were harvested and prepared for histological analysis. Recently introduced indexes sensitive to the heterogeneity of the air space size distribution were calculated. These indexes, D-1 and D-2, were derived from the moments of the mean equivalent airway diameters. Averaged over the entire lung, it is shown that the average 3He diffusivity (D-ave) correlates well with histology (R = 0.85, P < 0.0001). By matching small (0.046 cm(2)) regions in 3He images with corresponding regions in histological slices, Dave correlates significantly with both D-1 and D-2 (R = 0.88 and R = 0.90, respectively, with P < 0.0001). It is concluded that 3He MRI is a viable noninvasive morphometric tool for localized in vivo emphysema assessment.

AB In January-February 2003, the 14-channel NASA Ames airborne tracking sun photometer (AATS) and the NASA Langley/Ames diode laser hygrometer (DLH) were flown on the NASA DC-8 aircraft. The AATS measured column water vapor on the aircraft-to-sun path, while the DLH measured local water vapor in the free stream between the aircraft fuselage and an outboard engine cowling. The AATS and DLH measurements have been compared for two DC-8 vertical profiles by differentiating the AATS column measurement and/or integrating the DLH local measurement over the altitude range of each profile (7.7-10 km and 1.1-12.5 km). These comparisons extend, for the first time, tests of AATS water vapor retrievals to altitudes > similar to 6 km and column contents < 0.1 g cm(-2). To the authors' knowledge, this is the first time suborbital spectroscopic water vapor measurements using the 940-nm band have been tested in conditions so high and dry. Values of layer water vapor (LWV) calculated from the AATS and DLH measurements are highly correlated for each profile. The composite dataset yields r(2) 0.998, rms difference 7.7%, and bias (AATS minus DLH) 1.0%. For water vapor densities AATS and DLH had r(2) 0.968, rms difference 27.6%, and bias (AATS minus DLH) -4.2%. These results for water vapor density compare favorably with previous comparisons of AATS water vapor to in situ results for altitudes < similar to 6 km, columns similar to 0.1 to 5 g cm(-2), and densities similar to 0.1 to 17 g m(-3).

AB Spores of Bacillus subtilis have a thick outer layer of relatively insoluble protein called the coat, which protects spores against a number of treatments and may also play roles in spore germination. However, elucidation of precise roles of the coat in spore properties has been hampered by the inability to prepare spores lacking all or most coat material. In this work, we show that spores of a strain with mutations in both the cotE and gerE genes, which encode proteins involved in coat assembly and expression of genes encoding coat proteins, respectively, lack most extractable coat protein as seen by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, as well as the great majority of the coat as seen by atomic force microscopy. However, the cotE gerE spores did retain a thin layer of insoluble coat material that was most easily seen by microscopy following digestion of these spores with lysozyme. These severely coat-deficient spores germinated relatively normally with nutrients and even better with dodecylamine but not with a 1: 1 chelate of Ca2+ and dipicolinic acid. These spores were also quite resistant to wet heat, to mechanical disruption, and to treatment with detergents at an elevated temperature and pH but were exquisitely sensitive to killing by sodium hypochlorite. These results provide new insight into the role of the coat layer in spore properties.

AB The increasing occurrence of multidrug-resistant pathogens of clinical and agricultural importance is a global public health concern. While antimicrobial use in human and veterinary medicine is known to contribute to the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance, the impact of microbial communities and mobile resistance genes from the environment in this process is not well understood. Isolated from an industrially polluted aquatic environment, Escherichia coli SMS-3-5 is resistant to a record number of antimicrobial compounds from all major classes, including two front-line fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin), and in many cases at record-high concentrations. To gain insights into antimicrobial resistance in environmental bacterial populations, the genome of E. coli SMS-3-5 was sequenced and compared to the genome sequences of other E. coli strains. In addition, selected genetic loci from E. coli SMS-3-5 predicted to be involved in antimicrobial resistance were phenotypically characterized. Using recombinant vector clones from shotgun sequencing libraries, resistance to tetracycline, streptomycin, and sulfonamide/ trimethoprim was assigned to a single mosaic region on a 130-kb plasmid (pSMS35_130). The remaining plasmid backbone showed similarity to virulence plasmids from avian-pathogenic E. coli (APEC) strains. Individual resistance gene cassettes from pSMS35_130 are conserved among resistant bacterial isolates from multiple phylogenetic and geographic sources. Resistance to quinolones was assigned to several chromosomal loci, mostly encoding transport systems that are also present in susceptible E. coli isolates. Antimicrobial resistance in E. coli SMS-3-5 is therefore dependent both on determinants acquired from a mobile gene pool that is likely available to clinical and agricultural pathogens, as well, and on specifically adapted multidrug efflux systems. The association of antimicrobial resistance with APEC virulence genes on pSMS35_130 highlights the risk of promoting the spread of virulence through the extensive use of antibiotics.

AB While window frames typically represent 20-30% of the overall window area, their impact on the total window heat transfer rates may be much larger. This effect is even greater in low-conductance (highly insulating) windows that incorporate very low-conductance glazing. Developing low-conductance window frames requires accurate simulation tools for product research and development. Based on a literature review and an evaluation of current methods of modeling heat transfer through window frames, we conclude that current procedures specified in ISO standards are not sufficiently adequate for accurately evaluating heat transfer through the low-conductance frames.
We conclude that the near-term priorities for improving the modeling of heat transfer through low-conductance frames are:
1. Add 2D view-factor radiation to standard modeling and examine the current practice of averaging surface emissivity based on area weighting and the process of making an equivalent rectangular frame cavity.
2. Asses 3D radiation effects in frame cavities and develop recommendation for inclusion into the design fenestration tools.
3. Assess existing correlations for convection in vertical cavities using CFD.
4. Study 2D and 3D natural convection heat transfer in frame cavities for cavities that are proven to be deficient from item 3 above. Recommend improved correlations or full CFD modeling into ISO standards and design fenestration tools, if appropriate.
5. Study 3D hardware short-circuits and propose methods to ensure that these effects are incorporated into ratings.
6. Study the heat transfer effects of ventilated frame cavities and propose updated correlations.

AB Dendrimer-metal-nanocomposites (DMNs) were used as precursors to prepare SiO2-supported monometallic fit, Cu, and bimetallic Pt-Cu catalysts with Pt/Cu atomic ratios of 1: 1 (Pt50Cu50) and 1:3 (Pt25Cu75)After impregnation of these DMNs onto the Support, the catalysts were thermally treated and activated following an optimized protocol. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) showed that the metal nanoparticles in the dendrimer-derived SiO2-supported catalysts were smaller and had a narrower size distribution compared with those in conventional catalysts prepared using Corresponding metal salts via the wet-impregnation method. Slow deactivation was observed for hydrodechlorination of 1,2-dichloroethane over monometaillic Cu catalysts, which showed an activity about one to two orders of magnitude lower than that of the Pt-containing catalysts. Hydrodechlorination of 1,2-dichloroethane over the Pt and Pt50Cu50 catalysts produced mainly ethane, and the selectivity toward ethane increased with temperature. For the Pt25Cu75 catalyst, the selectivity toward ethane decreased in favor of that of ethylene. The overall activity decreased with increasing Cu loading in the catalysts. Activity based on surface Pt sites suggests the formation of bifunctional surfaces in Pt25Cu75 catalyst favoring C-Cl bond scission on Cu sites and hydrogenation of intermediate center dot CH2CH2 center dot on Fit sites. In addition, kinetic analyses suggest different reaction mechanisms for hydrodechlorination of 1,2-dichloroethane over Pt and Cu-enriched surfaces in the Pt-Cu bimetallic catalysts.

AB Computational grids are a promising resource for modeling complex biochemical processes such as protein folding, penetration of gases or water into proteins, or protein structural rearrangements coupled to ligand binding. We have enabled the molecular dynamics program CHARMM to run on the Open Science Grid. The implementation is general, flexible, easily modifiable for use with other molecular dynamics programs and other grids and automated in terms of job submission, monitoring, and resubmission. The usefulness of grid computing was demonstrated through the study of hydration of the Glu-66 side chain in the interior of protein staphylococcal nuclease. Multiple simulations started with and without two internal water molecules shown crystallographically to be associated with the side chain of Glu-66 yielded two distinct populations of rotameric states of Glu-66 that differed by as much as 20%. This illustrates how internal water molecules can bias protein conformations. Furthermore, there appeared to be a temporal correlation between dehydration of the side chain and conformational transitions of Glu-66. This example demonstrated how difficult it is to get convergence even in the relatively simple case of a side chain oscillating between two conformations. With grid computing, we also benchmarked the self-guided Langevin dynamics method against the Langevin dynamics method traditionally used for temperature control in molecular dynamics simulations and showed that the two methods yield comparable results.

AB BACKGROUND: A single-stage reactor, in which the growth of bacterial culture, induction of desulfurizing enzymes, and desulfurization reaction are carried out in a single step, was adopted to investigate desulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT) at high cell densities. Rhodococcus erythropolis, IGTS8 was used as the biocatalyst. Optimal conditions for bacterial growth and DBT desulfurization were investigated. RESULTS: Optimization of fermentation conditions was necessary to obtain high cell densities including controlling accumulation of acetate. Under optimal operating conditions, the maximum optical density at 600 nm (OD600) was measured to be 26.6 at 118 h of cultivation. When biodesulfurization of DBT in model oil with a high cell density culture of IGTS8 was investigated, accumulation of sulfate was found to limit the extent of desulfurization. A sulfate removal step was added to obtain a single-stage integrated biodesulfurization process. Sulfate removal was achieved via an aqueous bleed stream and use of a separation unit to recycle the organic phase. CONCLUSION: A proof of principle of a complete system capable of biocatalyst growth, induction, desulfurization and by-product separation was demonstrated. This system enables simplification of the biodesulfurization process and has potential to lower the operating cost of the bioprocess. (c) 2008 Society of Chemical Industry.

AB Microcalorimetry and high-performance liquid chromatography have been used to conduct a thermodynamic investigation of the following reactions:
1, 4-beta-D-Xylobiose(aq) + H(2)O(I) = 2D-xylose(aq),
1,4-beta-D-Xylotriose + 2H(2)O(I) = 3D-xylose(aq),
D-maltose(aq) + H(2)O(I) = 2 alpha-D-glucose(aq),
D-cellobiose(aq) + H(2)O(I) = 2 alpha-D-glucose(aq).
The results of the equilibrium measurements were K = (1.46 +/- 0.15). 10(3) for reaction (1) and K = (551 +/- 34) for reaction (3). Although it was not possible to measure directly a value for the equilibrium constant for reaction (4), it was possible to obtain the value K = 657 for this reaction via a thermochernical pathway calculation. The results of the calorimetric measurements were standard enthalpies of reaction Delta(r)H degrees = (0.12 +/- 0.26) kJ (.) mol(-1) for reaction (1) and Delta(r)H degrees = -(0.06 +/- 0.18) kJ (.) mol(-1) for reaction (2). It is noted that values Of Delta(r)H degrees for reactions (1) and (2) are equal to each other within their respective experimental errors. This fact is consistent with earlier observations that, for reactions involving the making/breaking of N saccharide linkages, the assignment of characteristic values of Delta(r)H degrees/N or Delta(r)G degrees/N or Delta(r)S degrees/N for a specified linkage, is accurate in predicting the values Of Delta(r)H degrees. Delta(r)G degrees, and Delta(r)S degrees for reactions involving saccharides that contain multiples or combinations of such linkages. Also, the values of the standard entropy changes Delta(r)S degrees for the hydrolysis reactions (3) and (4) fall into the range of values ((32 to 48)J (.) K(-1) (.) mol(-1))) previously noted for the hydrolysis of six-carbon disaccharides. In order to tie the results of this study into the thermochernical literature, a reaction catalog of related property values was created. Selected property values from this reaction catalog were then used to calculate "best" values of the standard Gibbs free energy of formation Delta(f)G degrees, the standard enthalpy of formation Delta(f)H degrees, the standard molar entropy S degrees(m), and the standard molar heat capacity C degrees(p,m), for the substances of interest to this investigation.

AB To aid in understanding the role that marine boundary layer (MBL) clouds play in climate and assist in improving their representations in general circulation models (GCMs), their long-term microphysical and macroscale characteristics are quantified using observations from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroracdiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) Terra satellite. Six years of MODIS pixel-level Cloud products are used from oceanic study regions off the west coasts of California, Peru, the Canary Islands, Angola, and Australia where these cloud types are common. Characterizations are given for their organization (macroscale structure), the associated microphysical properties, and the seasonal dependencies of their variations for scales consistent with the size of a GCM grid box (300 km X 300 km). MBL mesoscale structure is quantified using effective cloud diameter C-D, which is introduced here as a simplified measure of bulk cloud organization; it is straightforward to compute and provides descriptive information beyond that offered by cloud fraction. The interrelationships of these characteristics are explored while considering the influences of the MBL state, such as the occurrence of drizzle.
Several commonalities emerge for the five study regions. MBL clouds contain the best natural examples of plane-parallel clouds, but overcast clouds occur in only about 25% of the scenes, which emphasizes the importance of representing broken MBL cloud fields in climate models (that are subgrid scale). During the peak months of cloud occurrence, mesoscale organization (larger C-D) increases such that the fractions of scenes characterized as "overcast" and "clumped" increase at the expense of the "scattered" scenes. Cloud liquid water path and visible optical depth usually trend strongly with C-D, with the largest values occurring for scenes that are drizzling. However, considerable interregional differences exist in these trends, suggesting that different regression functionalities exist for each region. For peak versus off-peak months, the fraction of drizzling scenes (as a function of C-D) are similar for California and Angola, which suggests that a single probability distribution function might be used for their drizzle occurrence in climate models. The patterns are strikingly opposite for Peru and Australia; thus, the contrasts among regions may offer a test bed for model simulations of MBL drizzle occurrence.

AB Two different approaches to explain and predict the types of magnetic ordering in the 3d metal series and their compounds are reviewed. According to the crossing theorem of Heine and Samson, the effective exchange coupling changes sign from negative (antiferromagnetic ordering) in the middle of 3d band to positive (ferromagnetic ordering) for the nearly empty or nearly filled d band cases. On the other hand, the analytical properties of the Crystal Orbital Hamilton Population, which is a measure of chemical bonding, predict only one crossing at the center of the band in the region of nonbonding states. Thus intermetallic compounds with Fermi energies falling within metal-metal nonbonding states are ordered antiferromagnetically whereas they order ferromagnetically when the Fermi levels fall within antibonding states. The general character of these dependencies is demonstrated for various examples containing the magnetically active 3d metals, examples that include the bcc metals, Heusler alloys, and a series of novel quaternary intermetallic borides.

In these refinements we used an observation by Booth that has made possible the calculation of up to the 10th eigenpair for simple test problems simulating the transport of neutrons in the steady state of a nuclear reactor. Here, we summarize our techniques and efforts to-date on determining mainly just the two largest or two smallest eigenpairs. To illustrate the effectiveness of the techniques, we determined the two extremal eigenpairs of a cyclic matrix, the transfer matrix of the two-dimensional Ising model, and the Hamiltonian matrix of the one-dimensional Hubbard model.

ID STORAGE-RINGS; HEAVY-IONS; PHYSICS
AB We present two algorithms for accurate beam-frame simulations of the dynamical friction force on a non-relativistic ion moving for a short time in a low-density electron distribution, in the presence of arbitrary external fields. A special-purpose 4th-order predictor-corrector ("Hermite") algorithm, taken from the astrophysical dynamics community, has been generalized to work with charged particles in the presence of a constant magnetic field. An alternative algorithm uses operator splitting techniques to solve binary Coulomb collisions (BCC) in the presence of arbitrary external fields. We discuss the close mathematical relationship between the Hermite and BCC algorithms, and their order of convergence. We discuss the parallel efficiency of the BCC algorithm and use it in the parallel simulation framework VORPAL to study problems in a parameter regime relevant to the electron cooling section for the proposed luminosity upgrade of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. In particular, we simulate the field-free case to show how finite time effects strongly modify the traditional Coulomb logarithm, resulting in a significant reduction of the dynamical friction force as calculated by standard theoretical formulas. We show that diffusive dynamics can be correctly simulated, but that it must be artificially suppressed in order to accurately obtain the friction force. We discuss the proposed use of a helical undulator magnet to focus the electron beam and inhibit electron-ion recombination, showing that this device reduces the friction force.

AB Exploring the diversity of dark energy dynamics, we discover a calibration relation, a uniform stretching of the amplitude of the equation of state time variation with scale factor. This defines homogeneous families of dark energy physics. The calibration factor has a close relation to the standard time variation parameter w(a), and we show that the new, calibrated w(a) describes observables, i. e. distance and Hubble parameter as a function of redshift, typically to an accuracy level of 10(-3). We discuss implications for figures of merit for dark energy science programs.

AB The peridynamic model of solid mechanics is a nonlocal theory containing a length scale. It is based on direct interactions between points in a continuum separated from each other by a finite distance. The maximum interaction distance provides a length scale for the material model. This paper addresses the question of whether the peridynamic model for an elastic material reproduces the classical local model as this length scale goes to zero. We show that if the motion, constitutive model, and any nonhomogeneities are sufficiently smooth, then the peridynamic stress tensor converges in this limit to a Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor that is a function only of the local deformation gradient tensor, as in the classical theory. This limiting Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor field is differentiable, and its divergence represents the force density due to internal forces. The limiting, or collapsed, stress-strain model satisfies the conditions in the classical theory for angular momentum balance, isotropy, objectivity, and hyperelasticity, provided the original peridynamic constitutive model satisfies the appropriate conditions.

AB Mono-/bi-layer Au nanoparticle films with large areas were prepared by the assembly of Au nanoparticles in aqueous colloid at toluene/water interfaces, which can be transferred onto the hydrophilic solid surface and adhere strongly to the substrate without any binding agent. The transferred Au nanoparticle films exhibited satisfactory catalytic performance for electro-oxidizing nitric oxide (NO) in solution, and had a low detection limit (2.7 x 10(-8) mol/L), a rapid response time (less than 0.5 s) and a wide linear range (5.0 x 10(-8)-1.0 x 10(-5) mol/L) for the detection of NO in solution. UV-vis spectra, cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry were conducted to characterize the prepared Au nanoparticle films. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB A common problem faced by drinking water studies is that of properly characterizing the corrosion products (CP) in iron pipes or synthetic Fe (hydr)oxides used to simulate the iron pipe used in municipal drinking-water systems. The present work compares the relative applicability of a suite of imaging and analytical techniques for the characterization of CPs and synthetic Fe oxide thin films and provide an overview of the type of data that each instrument can provide as well as their limitations to help researchers and consultants choose the best technique for a given task. Crushed CP from a water distribution system and synthetic Fe oxide thin films formed on glass surfaces were chosen as test samples for this evaluation. The CP and synthetic Fe oxide thin films were analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD), grazing incident diffractometry (GID), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared, Mossbauer spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller N-2 adsorption and Fe concentration was determined by the ferrozine method. XRD and GID were found to be the most suitable techniques for identification of the mineralogical composition of CP and synthetic Fe oxide thin films, respectively. AFM and a combined ToF-SIMS-AFM approach proved excellent for roughness and depth profiling analysis of synthetic Fe oxide thin films, respectively. Corrosion products were difficult to study by AFM due to their surface roughness, while synthetic Fe oxide thin films resisted most spectroscopic methods due to their limited thickness (118 nm). XPS analysis is not recommended for mixtures of Fe (hydr)oxides due to their spectral similarities. SEM and TEM provided great detail on mineralogical morphology.

SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING-ASCE

DT Article
ID HYDROLOGIC PROPERTIES; CRYSTALLINE ROCKS
AB Determination of aqueous diffusion coefficients of solutes through fractured media is essential for understanding and modeling contaminant transport at many hazardous waste disposal sites. Development of experimental methods and measurements for the characterization of diffusion in fractured glass media is necessary for the design and performance assessment of glassified radionuclear waste disposal facilities. We report on the use of time-lag diffusion experimental method to assess the diffusion behavior of three different solutes (Cs, Sr, and pentafluoro benzoic acid) in fractured, immobilized low activity waste (ILAW) glass forms. A fractured media time-lag diffusion experimental apparatus, which allows the measurement of diffusion coefficients, has been designed and built for this purpose. Use of time-lag diffusion method, a considerably easier experimental method than the other available methods, was not previously demonstrated for measuring diffusion in fractured waste glass media. Hydraulic conductivity, porosity, and diffusion coefficients of a solute were experimentally measured in fractured glass blocks using this method for the first time. Results agree with the range of properties reported for similar rock media earlier, indicating that the time-lag experimental method can effectively characterize the diffusion coefficients of fractured ILAW glass media. Data presented are rare and useful for the design of vitrified glass disposal facilities.

AB Vertical distributions of (CO)-C-60 are determined in soil cores obtained from a 10-ha grassland, where anaerobically digested sludge was applied by surface spraying from 1986 to 1995 on the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Reservation. These results, along with historical application records, are used to estimate vertical-migration rates and perform a mass balance. The presence of Co-60 results solely from the sludge-application process. Soil, vegetation, and surface-water samples were collected. Eleven soil cores were sectioned into 3-cm increments and analyzed by gamma-ray spectrometry. No (CO)-C-60 was detected in the vegetation or water samples. The downward migration rate of Co-60 in the upper 15 cm of soil ranged from 0.50 to 0.73 cm/yr. About 98%, 0.020 +/- 0.011 Bq/cm(2), of 60Co remained in the upper 15 cm of soil, which compared favorably with the expected Co-60 activity based on historical records of 0.019 +/- 0.010 Bq/cm(2).

AB Many long-lived radionuclides are present in groundwater at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) as a result of 828 underground nuclear weapons tests conducted between 1951 and 1992. In conjunction with a comprehensive geochemical review of radionuclides (H-3, C-14, Cl-36, Tc-99 and I-129) that are presumably mobile in the subsurface, we synthesized a body of radionuclide activity data measured from groundwater samples collected at 18 monitoring wells, to qualitatively assess their migration at the NTS over distances of hundreds of meters and over timescales of decades. Tritium and Cl-36 showed little evidence of retardation, while the transport of C-14 may have been retarded by its isotopic exchange with carbonate minerals in the aquifer. Observed local reducing conditions (either natural or test-induced) will impact the mobility of certain redox-sensitive radionuclides (especially Tc-99) that were otherwise soluble and readily transported under oxidizing conditions. Conversely, strongly oxidizing conditions may impact the mobility of I-129 which is mobile under reducing conditions. The effect of iodine speciation on its transport deserves further attention. Indication of delayed transport of some "mobile" radionuclides (especially Tc-99) in the groundwater at the NTS suggested the importance of redox conditions of the natural system in controlling the fate and transport of radionuclides, which has implications in the enhanced performance of the potential Yucca Mountain repository, located adjacent to the NTS, to store high-level nuclear wastes as well as management of radionuclide contamination in legacy nuclear operations facilities.

ID FINITE REYNOLDS-NUMBER; LINEAR SHEAR-FLOW; RIGID SPHERE; MODERATE RE;
FORCES; SEDIMENT; CURRENTS
AB we computed the lift and drag forces on a sphere, subjected to a wall-bounded oscillatory flow. The forces were found as a function of the Reynolds number, the forcing frequency, and the gap between the particle and the ideally smooth rigid bounding wall. Here we investigate how the forces change as a function of the above parameters and its moment of inertia if the particle is allowed to freely rotate. Allowing the particle to rotate does not change appreciably the drag force, as compared to the drag experienced by the particle when it is held fixed. Lift differences between the rotating and nonrotating cases are shown to be primarily dominated in the mean by the pressure component. The lift of the rotating particle varies significantly from the fixed-particle case and depends strongly on the Reynolds number, the forcing frequency, and the gap; much less so on the moment of inertia. Of special significance is that the lift is enhanced for small Reynolds numbers and suppressed for larger ones, with a clear transition point. We also examine how the torque changes when the particle is allowed to rotate as compared to when it is held fixed. As a function of the Reynolds number the torque of the fixed sphere is monotonically decreasing in the range Re = 5 to Re = 400. The rotating-sphere counterpart experiences a smaller and more complex torque, synchronized with the lift transition mentioned before. As a function of the gap, the torque is significantly larger in the fixed particle case.

AB A curved rotating heat pipe for use in motor and generator applications is studied experimentally The heat pipe is built so that both the condenser and evaporator sections are parallel to the axis of rotation. The condenser section is close to the axis of rotation while the evaporator section can be placed in contact with off-axis heat sources in the rotating machine. The geometry is achieved by incorporating an S-shaped curve between the on-axis rotating condenser section and the off-axis revolving evaporator section. The curved rotating heat pipe allows for a direct coupling of the rotating condenser section to an on-axis stationary refrigeration system, while allowing the revolving evaporator section to intercept off-axis heat sources in the rotating machine. An experimental rotating heat pipe test apparatus was built and operated. The test data indicate that the working fluid continued to circulate, resulting in heat transfer with a high effective thermal conductivity with the curved rotating heat pipe operating under the influence of centrifugal accelerations approaching 400g. Furthermore, the experimental results were used to validate a heat pipe thermal model that can be used in the design of rotating machines that rely on the curved rotating heat pipe as part of the thermal management system.

AB In most global fits of the constrained minimal supersymmetric model (CMSSM) to indirect data, the a priori likelihoods of any two points in tan beta are treated as equal, and the more fundamental mu and B Higgs potential parameters are fixed by potential minimization conditions. We find that, if instead a flat ("natural") prior measure on mu and B is placed, a strong preference exists for the focus point region from fits to particle physics and cosmological data. In particular, we find that the lightest neutralino is strongly favored to be a mixed bino-higgsino (similar to 10% higgsino). Such mixed neutralinos have large elastic scattering cross sections with nuclei, leading to extremely promising prospects for both underground direct detection experiments and neutrino telescopes. In particular, the majority of the posterior probability distribution falls within parameter space within an order of magnitude of current direct detection constraints. Furthermore, neutralino annihilations in the sun are predicted to generate thousands of neutrino induced muon events per years at IceCube. Thus, assuming the framework of the CMSSM and using the natural prior measure, modulo caveats regarding astrophysical uncertainties, we are likely to be living in a world with good prospects for the direct and indirect detection of neutralino dark matter. These conclusions have a dependence upon the prior measure, which more data will reduce.

AB We study the possibility of experimental verification of the spin = 2 nature of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) graviton which is predicted to exist in the extra-dimensional Randal-Sundrum (RS) warped models. The couplings of these gravitons to the particles located on or near the TeV brane is the strongest as the overlap integral of their profiles in the extra-dimension is large. Among them are unphysical Higgses (W-L(+/-) and Z(L)) and KK excitations of the Standard Model (SM) gauge bosons. We consider the possibility to confirm the spin-2 nature of the first KK mode of the warped graviton (G(1)) based on the angular distribution of the Z bozon in the graviton rest frame in the gg -> G(1)-> W-KK(Z(KK))W(Z)-> WWZ, gg -> G(1)-> ZZ and gg -> G(1)-> Z(KK)Z -> ZZH decay channels. Using Wigner D-matrix properties, we derive the relationship between the graviton spin, signal angular distribution peak value, and other theoretically calculable quantities. We then study the LHC signals for these decay modes and find that with 1000 fb(-1) of data, spin of the RS graviton up to similar to 2 TeV may be confirmed in the pp -> W-KK(Z(KK))W(Z)-> WWZ -> 3 leptons + jet + E-T and pp -> ZZ -> 4 leptons decay modes.

AB A second quantized field theory on the world sheet is developed for summing planar graphs of the phi(3) theory. This is in contrast to the earlier work, which was based on first quantization. The ground state of the model is investigated with the help of a variational ansatz. In complete agreement with standard perturbation theory, the infinities encountered in carrying out this calculation can be eliminated by the renormalization of the parameters of the model. We also find that, as in the earlier work, in the ground state, graphs form a dense network (condensate) on the world sheet.

AB We outline a general strategy for measuring spins, couplings and mixing angles in the case of a heavy partner decay chain terminating in an invisible particle. We consider the common example of a heavy scalar or fermion D decaying sequentially to other heavy particles C, B and A by emitting a quark jet j and two leptons l(n)(+/-) and l(f)(-/+). We derive analytic formulas for the dilepton ({l(+)l(-)}) and the two jet-lepton ({jl(n)} and {jl(f)}) invariant mass distributions for the case of most general couplings and mixing angles of the heavy partners. We then consider various spin assignments for the heavy particles A, B, C and D, and for each case, derive the relevant functional basis for the invariant mass distributions which contains the intrinsic spin information and does not depend on the couplings and mixing angles. We propose a new method for determining the spins of the heavy partners, using the three experimentally observable distributions {l(+)l(-)}, {jl(+)} + {jl(-)} and {jl(+)} - {jl(-)}. We show that the former two only depend on a single model-dependent parameter alpha, while the latter may depend on two other parameters beta and gamma. By fitting these distributions to our set of basis functions, we are able to do a pure measurement of the spins per se. Our method is also applicable at a p (p) over bar collider such as the Tevatron, for which the previously proposed lepton charge asymmetry is identically zero and does not contain any spin information. In the process of determining the spins, we also end up with an independent measurement of the parameters alpha, beta and gamma, which represent certain combinations of the couplings and the mixing angles of the heavy partners A, B, C and D.

AB Low energy supersymmetric models provide a solution to the hierarchy problem and also have the necessary ingredients to solve two of the most outstanding issues in cosmology: the origin of the baryon asymmetry and the source of dark matter. In the MSSM, weak scale generation of the baryon asymmetry may be achieved in the presence of light stops, with masses lower than about 130 GeV. Moreover, the proper dark matter density may be obtained in the stop-neutralino co-annihilation region, where the stop-neutralino mass difference is smaller than a few tens of GeV. Searches for scalar top quarks (stops) in pair production processes at the Tevatron and at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) become very challenging in this region of parameters. At the LHC, however, light stops proceeding from the decay of gluino pairs may be identified, provided the gluino mass is smaller than about 900 GeV. In this article we propose an alternative method for stop searches in the co-annihilation region, based on the search for these particles in events with missing energy plus one hard photon or jet. We show that this method is quite efficient and, when complemented with ongoing Tevatron searches, allows to probe stop masses up to about 160 GeV, fully probing the region of parameters consistent with electroweak baryogenesis in the MSSM.

AB Electroweak baryogenesis in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model may be realized within the light stop scenario, where the right-handed stop mass remains close to the top-quark mass to allow for a sufficiently strong first order electroweak phase transition. All other supersymmetric scalars are much heavier to comply with the present bounds on the Higgs mass and the electron and neutron electric dipole moments. Heavy third generation scalars render it necessary to resum large logarithm contributions to perform a trustable Higgs mass calculation. We have studied the one-loop RGE improved effective theory below the heavy scalar mass scale and obtained reliable values of the Higgs mass. Moreover, assuming a common mass (m) over tilde for all heavy scalar particles, and values of all gaugino masses and the Higgsino mass parameter about the weak scale, and imposing gauge coupling unification, a two-loop calculation yields values of the mass (m) over tilde in the interval between three TeV and six hundred TeV. Furthermore for a stop mass around the top quark mass, this translates into an upper bound on the Higgs mass of about 150 GeV. The Higgs mass bound becomes even stronger, of about 129 GeV, for the range of stop and gaugino masses consistent with electroweak baryogenesis. The collider phenomenology implications of this scenario are discussed in some detail.

AB A gene encoding a plant terpene cyclase, Artemisia annua amorpha-4,11-diene synthase (ADS), was expressed in Aspergillus nidulans under control of a strong constitutive promoter, (p)gpdA. The transformants produced only small amounts of amorphadiene, but much larger amounts of similar sesquiterpenes normally produced as minor by-products in planta. In contrast, expression of ADS in Escherichia coli produced almost exclusively amorpha-4,11-diene. These results indicate that the host environment can greatly impact the terpenes produced from terpene synthases.

AB The ATLAS TRT end-cap is a tracking drift chamber using 245,760 individual tubular drift tubes. It is a part of the TRT tracker which consist of the barrel and two end-caps. The TRT end-caps cover the forward and backward pseudo-rapidity region 1.0 < vertical bar eta vertical bar < 2.0, while the TRT barrel central eta region vertical bar eta vertical bar < 1.0. The TRT system provides a combination of continuous tracking with many measurements in individual drift tubes ( or straws) and of electron identification based on transition radiation from fibers or foils interleaved between the straws themselves. Along with other two sub-systems, namely the Pixel detector and Semi Conductor Tracker (SCT), the TRT constitutes the ATLAS Inner Detector. This paper describes the recently completed and installed TRT end-cap detectors, their design, assembly, integration and the acceptance tests applied during the construction.
