AB The growth of epitaxial graphene on C-face 6H-SiC substrates is investigated using process conditions that can form small, local areas of graphene. The thickness of SiC lost to Si sublimation is not completely countered by the thickness of the resulting graphene and so graphene-covered basins (GCBs) are formed. The GCBs are most likely nucleated at threading dislocations from the substrate. The GCB morphology exhibits ridges, similar to those found on continuous films. The GCBs expand through erosion of the surrounding SiC substrate walls, eventually coalescing into continuous films. The ratio of the Raman D and G peaks was used to estimate the crystallite length scale and it was found to be about 200 nm for small GCBs and > 1 mu m for continuous films.

AB Epitaxial graphene produced from SiC substrates exhibits a carrier mobility reduction thought to arise from intercalated silicon. We present the results of density functional simulations and show that individual silicon atoms are highly mobile on and between graphene sheets, suggesting that thermally stable structures involving individual Si impurities are likely to result from the interaction of silicon with defects in the graphene sheets.

AB The Remote Atmospheric and Ionospheric Detection System (RAIDS) is new NASA experiment studying the Earth's thermosphere and ionosphere from a vantage point on the International Space Station (ISS). RAIDS along with a companion hyperspectral imaging experiment were launched in September 2009 to operate as the first US payload on the Japanese Experiment Module-Exposed Facility. The scientific objectives of the RAIDS experiment are to study the temperature of the lower thermosphere (100-200 km), to measure composition and chemistry of the lower thermosphere and ionosphere, and to measure the initial source of O+ 83.4 nm emission. The RAIDS sensor complement includes three photometers, three spectrometers, and two spectrographs which span the wavelength range 50-874 nm and scan or image the atmospheric limb 90-300 km. After installation aboard the ISS, RAIDS underwent a 30-day checkout period before entering science operations. RAIDS is serving as a pathfinder for atmospheric remote sensing from the ISS, and the experiment team gained valuable operational insights using this space platform throughout the first year of the mission. This paper describes key aspects of experiment performance relevant to interpreting RAIDS science data and designing future atmospheric remote sensing experiments for the ISS.

AB The primary science objective of the Coronal Suprathermal Particle Explorer (C-SPEX) is to investigate the spatial and temporal variations of coronal suprathermal particle populations that are seeds for acceleration to solar energetic particles (SEPs). It is understood that such seed particle populations vary with coronal structures and can change responding to solar flare and coronal mass ejection (CME) events. Models have shown that higher densities of suprathermal protons can result in higher rates of acceleration to high energies. Understanding the variations in the suprathermal seed particle population is thus crucial for understanding the variations in SEPs. However, direct measurements are still lacking. C-SPEX will measure the variation in the suprathermal protons across various coronal magnetic structures, before/after the passage of CME shocks, in the post-CME current sheets, and before/after major solar flares. Understanding the causes for variation in the suprathermal seed particle population and its effect on the variation in SEPs will also help build the predictive capability of SEPs that reach Earth. The C-SPEX measurements will be obtained from instrumentation on the International Space Station (ISS) employing well-established UV coronal spectroscopy techniques.

DE International Space Station; ultraviolet; contamination; calibration;

AB This paper presents an analysis of the sensitivity changes experienced by three of the eight sensors that comprise the Remote Atmospheric and Ionospheric Detection System (RAIDS) after more than a year operating on board the International Space Station (ISS). These sensors are the Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrograph (EUVS) that covers 550-1100 angstrom, the Middle Ultraviolet (MUV) spectrometer that covers 1900-3100 angstrom, and the Near Infrared Spectrometer (NIRS) that covers 7220-8740 angstrom. The scientific goal for RAIDS is comprehensive remote sensing of the temperature, composition, and structure of the lower thermosphere and ionosphere from 85-200 km. RAIDS was installed on the ISS Japanese Expansion Module External Facility (JEM-EF) in September of 2009. After initial checkout the sensors began routine operations that are only interrupted for sensor safety by occasional ISS maneuvers as well as a few days per month when the orbit imparts a risk from exposure to the Sun. This history of measurements has been used to evaluate the rate of degradation of the RAIDS sensors exposed to an environment with significant sources of particulate and molecular contamination. The RAIDS EUVS, including both contamination and detector gain sag, has shown an overall signal loss rate of 0.2% per day since the start of the mission, with an upper boundary of 0.13% per day attributed solely to contamination effects. This upper boundary is driven by uncertainty in the change in the emission field due to changing solar conditions, and there is strong evidence that the true loss due to contamination is significantly smaller. The MUV and NIRS have shown stability to within 1% over the first year of operations.

AB Ceramic laser materials have come a long way since the first demonstration of lasing in 1964. Improvements in powder synthesis and ceramic sintering as well as novel ideas have led to notable achievements. These include the first Nd:YAG ceramic laser in 1995, breaking the 1 KW mark in 2002 and then the remarkable demonstration of more than 100 KW output power from a YAG ceramic laser system in 2009. Additional developments have included highly doped microchip lasers, ultrashort pulse lasers, novel materials such as sesquioxides, fluoride ceramic lasers, selenide ceramic lasers in the 2 to 3 mu m region, composite ceramic lasers for better thermal management, and single crystal lasers derived from polycrystalline ceramics. This paper highlights some of these notable achievements.

AB In August 2007, mosquitoes were collected using four different collection methods at 2 upland interior and 2 coastal villages in West Sumba District, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Methods included human-baited and unbaited tent and malaise traps, human-landing collections (HLC), and unbaited CDC light traps. Mosquitoes were identified to species by morphological characters and all anophelines were tested for malaria circumsporozoite protein (CSP) using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). During six trap nights, 4,174 Anopheles mosquitoes belonging to 13 species were captured and identified: An. aconitus, An. annularis, An. barbirostris, An. flavirostris, Hyrcanus Group species, An. indefinitus, An. kochi, An. leucosphyrus group, An. maculatus s.l., An. subpictus s.l., An. sundaicus s.l., An. tessellatus, and An. vagus. Of potential disease vectors, An. annularis, An. subpictus, and An. vagus were the most frequently collected species in the upland interior sites, whereas An. sundaicus, An. subpictus, and An. vagus were most commonly found along the coast. The predominant species from evening human-landing collections (mosquitoes per human) were An. subpictus and An. vagus in the upland interior and An. sundaicus along the coast. All mosquitoes were non-reactive for Plasmodium CSP. One specimen of the An. leucosphyrus group was captured from indoor HLC in Tenateke Village, an upland interior location. This finding appears to represent a new collection record for Sumba Island.

Terrorist Attacks Against the United States
SO STUDIES IN CONFLICT & TERRORISM

DT Article
AB While much of the focus of terrorism research is on successful terrorist attacks, the most significant lessons for terrorism prevention may come from examination of terrorist plots and attacks that do not succeed. This article analyzes 176 terrorist plots against American targets that have been thwarted or otherwise failed during the past 25 years. It considers what kinds of intelligence and security measures are most useful in counterterrorism, and argues that the conventional wisdom about why intelligence fails-because analysts and agencies are unable to "connect the dots"-is wrong. Most plots, especially domestic terrorist plots, are not foiled through imaginative analysis, but through conventional law enforcement efforts and aggressive domestic intelligence collection that reveal to authorities just what the plotters are up to.

AB This article analyzes the themes of language, cultural heterogeneity, and writing as liminal space in autobiographical nonfiction texts by Canadian-born bilingual author Nancy Huston and Algerian-born French writer Leila Sebbar. In their coauthored correspondence on the theme of exile, Lettres parisiennes: Autopsie de l'exil, Huston and Sebbar describe writing as a land or territory, a place of one's own, and Sebbar defines exile as the very foundation of her being. Each writer explores the meaning of language in her life (English and French for Huston, French and Arabic for Sebbar), particularly as it relates to childhood and loss. Other themes include the construction and performance of self through language and writing; mobility, even instability, as vital constituents of identity; and exile and difference as freedom. While "exile" for these authors is not a question of forced migration, their reflections on living in between and across cultures-in the fault lines-have rich resonance for theorists, writers, travelers, and users of language in a globalized world.

AB Ceramic laser materials have come a long way since the first demonstration of lasing in 1964. Improvements in powder synthesis and ceramic sintering as well as novel ideas have led to notable achievements. These include the first Nd:YAG ceramic laser in 1995, breaking the 1 KW mark in 2002 and then the remarkable demonstration of more than 100 KW output power from a YAG ceramic laser system in 2009. Additional developments have included highly doped microchip lasers, ultrashort pulse lasers, novel materials such as sesquioxides, fluoride ceramic lasers, selenide ceramic lasers in the 2 to 3 mu m region, composite ceramic lasers for better thermal management, and single crystal lasers derived from polycrystalline ceramics. This paper highlights some of these notable achievements.

AB The ability to simulate authentic engagements using real-world hardware is an increasingly important tool. For rendering maritime environments, scene generators must be capable of rendering radiometrically accurate scenes with correct temporal and spatial characteristics. When the simulation is used as input to real-world hardware or human observers, the scene generator must operate in real-time.
This paper introduces a novel, real-time scene generation capability for rendering radiometrically accurate scenes of backgrounds and targets in maritime environments. The new model is an optimized and parallelized version of the US Navy CRUISE_Missiles rendering engine. It was designed to accept environmental descriptions and engagement geometry data from external sources, render a scene, transform the radiometric scene using the electro-optical response functions of a sensor under test, and output the resulting signal to real-world hardware.
This paper reviews components of the scene rendering algorithm, and details the modifications required to run this code in real-time. A description of the simulation architecture and interfaces to external hardware and models is presented. Performance assessments of the frame rate and radiometric accuracy of the new code are summarized.
This work was completed in FY10 under Office of Secretary of Defense (OSD) Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP) funding and will undergo a validation process in FY11.

AB This 'country study' analyses substantial samples of research papers by Brazilian authors drawn from two global databases. The approach and the findings may each be of interest. Our approach is to examine R&D outputs through bibliometrics (to identify key authors, institutions, journals, etc.) and text mining with taxonomy generation (to identify pervasive research thrusts). We extend prior country studies by providing for interactive data access and exploring military-relevant R&D information. The resulting publication activity profiles provide insight on Brazilian R&D strengths and investment strategies, and help identify opportunities for collaboration. Brazil, a nation of 190 million, evidences a substantial research enterprise, with major capabilities in the life and biomedical sciences, as well as the physical sciences. We benchmark research patterns and trends against several other countries. We find a large measure of international collaboration, particularly with the USA.

AB Ultrasonic impact treatment (UIT) is a surface treatment that causes severe plastic deformation (SPD). UIT gives excellent parameter control and has a high energy efficiency, unlike similar processes such as shot peening. The objective of this work is to investigate the measured hardness, strength, and void properties of an ultrasonically impacted 5456-J116 aluminum. Micro-indentation is used to map the hardness properties while microsample specimens directly measure tensile mechanical properties. The micro species (3mm in length by 1mm wide with a gage section of 250 mu m(2)) are made at varying distances from the UIT treated surface and tested to characterize the Young's modulus and yield strength. Voids in the gage section of the micro specimens are analyzed before and after testing using novel X-ray tomography. These void characteristics are linked to the yield and plastic deformation behavior of the material.

AB Intensity interferometry, in which intensity fluctuations at separate apertures are measured and then correlated, is an attractive technique for high angular resolution measurements because of its simplicity. There is no need to transport light beams from the telescopes of the interferometer array to a beam combiner, and the telescope optics need not be precise. Michelson interferometry, in which light beams are brought together and the interference pattern is measured, is significantly more difficult, requiring precision optics and precise pathlength control, but it has a great advantage in sensitivity, requiring milliseconds to make a detection that might require hours with an intensity interferometer. However, for interferometry with a large number of array elements, the sensitivity of Michelson interferometry suffers from the fact that the light beams must be shared among many correlations, thereby reducing the sensitivity of each measurement. We explore these and other influences on the relative sensitivities of these techniques to determine under what circumstances, if any, their sensitivities become comparable.

AB The observation of satellites at geostationary earth orbits (GEO) from the ground presents some formidable technical and scientific challenges. In recent years, several approaches have been proposed and some have undergone field tests. The Naval Research Laboratory has pioneered the use of the Michelson-style sparse aperture interferometers for this problem by using the Naval Prototype Optical Interferometer (NPOI). Other groups have proposed the use of Intensity Interferometry to solve this problem. It is in this framework that we are addressing the issue of comparing Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) expressions and numerical simulations for various approaches in order to establish which is the most suitable technique for ground based observations. In this paper we present a comparison of SNR simulations for a Michelson Interferometer, an Intensity Interferometer and a filled aperture telescope. We present the basic background of the two interferometric techniques and the standard SNR expressions for the three approaches. We review the parameters of the simulations discussing the limitations and we will present the results.

AB Ivermectin (IVM) is a chemically modified macrocyclic lactone of Streptomyces avermitilis that acts as a potent neurotoxin against many nematodes and arthropods. Little is known of IVM's effect against either blood-feeding Phlebotomus sand flies, or the infective promastigote stage of Leishmania transmitted by these flies. We injected hamsters subcutaneously with two standard IVM treatments (200 and 400 mu g/kg body weight) and allowed cohorts of Leishmania major-infected Phlebotomus papatasi to blood-feed on these animals at various posttreatment time points (4 h, 1, 2, 6, and 10 days). Infected and uninfected sand flies that bit treated and untreated hamsters served as controls. Serum levels of IVM in low-and high-dose-treated hamsters were determined at the five time points. Sand fly mortality following blood feeding was recorded at 24-h intervals and, in relation to IVM treatment, was time and dose dependent. Mortality was most rapid and greatest among infected flies that fed nearest to time of dosing. Mean survival of infected sand flies after feeding on untreated hamsters was 11.5 days, whereas that of infected sand flies that fed 4 h, 1 day, or 2 days posttreatment on high-dose-treated hamsters (400 mu g/kg) was 1.6, 2.1, and 2.7 days, respectively. Infected and uninfected sand flies that blood fed 6 days following low-dose IVM treatment (200 mu g/kg) still experienced significantly greater mortality (p < 0.02) than controls. Promastigotes dissected out of surviving flies that fed on IVM-treated hamsters showed typical motility and survival. Moreover, 21.7% of IVM-treated hamsters developed lesions after being fed upon by infected sand flies. L. major promastigotes appeared to be tolerant to ng/mL blood levels of IVM that caused significant mortality for up to 10 days posttreatment in blood-feeding P. papatasi.

AB As the literature on stalking has grown, several studies have proposed a relationship between stalking and intimate partner violence (IPV). This study examines a clinical sample of intimate partner batterers to assess the stalking-related behaviors committed against the participants' intimate partners. The study examined the levels of severity between stalking-related behaviors and IPV, as well as identified differences between batterers who exhibited stalking-related behaviors and those who did not. A significant relationship between stalking-related behavior and IPV was found, with more severe stalking related to higher levels of IPV and more extreme psychopathology.

AB Magnetorheological finishing (MRF) is a deterministic method for producing complex optics with figure accuracy <50 nm and surface roughness <1 nm. MRF was invented at the Luikov Institute of Heat and Mass Transfer in Minsk, Belarus in the late 1980s by a team led by William Kordonski. When the Soviet Union opened up, New York businessman Lowell Mintz was invited to Minsk in 1990 to explore possibilities for technology transfer. Mintz was told of the potential for MRF, but did not understand whether it had value. Mintz was referred to Harvey Pollicove at the Center for Optics Manufacturing of the University of Rochester. As a result of their conversation, they sent Prof. Steve Jacobs to visit Minsk and evaluate MRF. From Jacobs' positive findings, and with support from Lowell Mintz, Kordonski and his colleagues were invited in 1993 to work at the Center for Optics Manufacturing with Jacobs and Don Golini to refine MRF technology. A "preprototype" finishing machine was operating by 1994. Prof. Greg Forbes and doctoral student Paul Dumas developed algorithms for deterministic control of MRF. In 1996, Golini recognized the commercial potential of MRF, secured investment capital from Lowell Mintz, and founded QED Technologies. The first commercial MRF machine was unveiled in 1998. It was followed by more advanced models and by groundbreaking subaperture stitching interferometers for metrology. In 2006, QED was acquired by and became a division of Cabot Microelectronics. This paper recounts the history of the development of MRF and the founding of QED Technologies.

AB Aeronautical chart data used widely by the U.S. military and its Allies is typically compressed using vector quantization in a multi-stage approach. The first stage is a simple red-green-blue (RGB) 3:1 color compression, which reduces the chart data from 24-bit color to 8-bit color, using a color palette to map the resulting color indices back to 24-bit RGB. For the compressed U.S. military aeronautical charts discussed in this paper, the color palette is limited to 216 indices to accommodate additional colors for mission-specific overlays. Reducing color from 24-bit to 8-bit is a "lossy" compression technique, since there is potential for color data loss. Optimizing the selection of a color palette to best represent a given set of aeronautical charts is key to minimizing color loss during compression. This paper evaluates two color palette selection techniques and their associated color compression schemes, and compares each with two different color spaces, to determine which combination of techniques will result in the least amount of color loss. The first technique selects the most prevalent 216 color values in a given set of charts as the color palette, and then color-clusters the remaining colors to their closest color palette value by Euclidean distance in the chosen color space. The second technique progressively increases Euclidean distances to generate 216 color clusters and selects the weighted centroid value of each color cluster to produce the color palette. The color palette selection techniques are performed both in RGB (red-green-blue) color space and the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) L*a*b* (CIELAB) color space. CIELAB color space is designed to be perceptually uniform, meaning that a change of the same amount in color value should produce a change of about the same visual importance. A high color variability aeronautical chart is used to evaluate each technique in terms of average distortion per pixel between the color compressed image and its source. Visual color loss is expected to be reduced by performing color clustering and color matching calculations in CIELAB color space.

AB Menstrual cycle patterns and concerns and oral contraceptive use in the combat environment were examined in Caucasian, Asian, Hispanic, and African American women to guide the development of educational resources for women soldiers. An anonymous, questionnaire was completed by 455 U.S. Army womenCaucasian (CA: n = 141); Asian (AS: n = 67); Hispanic (HIS: n = 67); and African American (AA: n = 184) to compare menstrual patterns and concerns, dysmenorrhea, and oral contraceptive patterns. Total menstrual concerns were significantly lower among African Americans relative to Caucasians, Asians, or Hispanics; Asians and Hispanics reported the greatest concern. Overall, secondary amenorrhea was noted by 14.9% of women. Severe dysmenorrhea rates were significantly lower in African American (6.1%) compared to Caucasian (11.6%), Asian (20.9%) and Hispanic (19.7%) women. Asian women reported missing less workonly 9.3% with moderate to severe dysmenorrhea missed work compared to 25.1% of all other women. Only 9.2% of women with mild, compared to 25.8% with moderate to severe (OR = 3.44; p 0.0001) dysmenorrhea sought health care. Less than 50% of women took oral contraceptive, and less than half of those women took oral contraceptive continuously. African Americans seemed to experience menstruation as less bothersome than others, despite no difference in the proportion with menstrual irregularities, mean duration of menses, and/or mean time between cycles.

AB Experiments were conducted in a gas-driven shock tube to investigate shock wave-induced damage to Bacillus thuringiensis Al Hakam endospores over a wide range of post-shock temperatures in non-oxidative gas environments. The results were compared with previous studies on B. atrophaeus and B. subtilis and demonstrate that B. thuringiensis Al Hakam exhibited a qualitatively similar response to rapid shock heating, even though this strain has a significantly different endospore structure. B. thuringiensis Al Hakam endospores were nebulized into an aqueous aerosol, which was loaded into the Stanford aerosol shock tube, and subjected to shock waves of controlled strength. Endospores experienced uniform test temperatures between 500 and 1000 K and pressures ranging from 2 atm to 7 atm for approximately 2.5 ms. During this process the bio-aerosol was monitored using in situ time-resolved laser absorption and scattering diagnostics. Additionally, shock-treated bio-aerosol samples were extracted for ex situ analysis including viability plating, flow cytometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging. B. thuringiensis Al Hakam endospores lost the ability to form colonies at post-shock temperatures above 500 K while significant breakdown in morphology was observed only for post-shock temperatures above 700 K. While viability loss and endospore morphological deterioration adhere to a similar framework across all endospore species studied, phenomena unique to B. thuringiensis Al Hakam were noted in the SEM images and optical extinction data. This initial characterization of the response of B. thuringiensis Al Hakam spores treated with shock/blast waves shows that these methods have potential for spore inactivation and detection.

TI The Effect of Water on Electron Transfer through Conductive
Oligo(phenylene vinylene) Quinones
SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C

DT Article
ID MOLECULAR CONDUCTANCE; SURFACES; TRANSPORT
AB Electron transfer (ET) through oxidized (QOPV) and reduced-protonated (HQOPV) forms of oligo(phenylene vinylene) quinone placed between two gold electrodes in the absence and presence of external water molecules is calculated using density functional theory with a nonequilibrium Green's function method. The results show that the presence of hydrogen atoms as an internal component (in reduced-protonated form of the molecule) screens the stimulating effect of oxygen on QOPV conductivity and eliminates the efficiency of the molecule conductance at low bias voltages. The formation of a complex with water restores the HQOPV conductivity at low biases and opens several additional strong conductivity channels below the Fermi level, substantially improving the efficiency of ET between QOPV and the electrode, especially at longer distances between the molecule and the metal. This effect of water can be utilized in the construction of novel highly efficient electrochemically gated electronic devices. It also opens a possibility for the fine regulation of direction of ET in "soft" molecular electronic devices with flexible organization and in biological systems.

AB Layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly was employed for alternating deposition of two electrochromic polymers to fabricate a single film composite. We report a wide spectral range, high contrast asymmetric solid state electrochromic device, fabricated by LbL assembly of the polycation polyaniline (emeraldine base) (PANI) and the polyanion poly(aniline sulfonic acid), (PASA). Detailed spectral and electrochemical investigation of the dual electrochrome thin film confirm that both electrochromic polymers contribute to the electrochromic and electrochemical characteristics of the composite. Under the application of +/-2.3 V potential the system exhibited an average contrast of 49.7% across the full visible spectrum. The dual electrochrome system was compared to single electrochrome systems, and it was observed that PANI predominantly affects the electrochromic optical spectra of the composite, whereas PASA increases the switching speed.

AB Marine ecosystems are greatly influenced by the structure and dynamics of fronts. In coastal upwelling systems, frontogenesis occurs frequently by upwelling and transport of cold water and warming in sheltered "upwelling shadow" retention sites. Monterey Bay, in the California Current upwelling system, hosts a dynamic upwelling shadow environment. Using a decade of satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) observations with ancillary remote sensing and in situ data, we describe recurrent surface slicks that develop along the seaward periphery of the Monterey Bay upwelling shadow, and we examine their relationships with fronts. Slick median dimensions, 17.5 km long and 0.8 km wide, describe their elongated structure. Although the typical pattern is a single slick, multiple slicks may concurrently develop in association with different types of fronts. Repeated volume surveys through a front, underlying a slick, revealed lateral mixing and interleaving of regional water types. Velocity fields from coastal HF radar show that slicks may coincide with a variety of surface circulation patterns, that they may extend contiguously across regions having very different surface velocity, and that they may be separated from the shear front of upwelling filaments by 5-10 km. Slicks occur in all seasons and may coincide with both upwelling and downwelling wind forcing. Surfactant accumulation in small-scale convergence zones is indicated as the primary mechanism of slick formation, not ocean current shear or small-scale air-sea coupling. The results of this study emphasize the role of upwelling system fronts in creating small-scale structure and dynamics that influence plankton ecology.

AB On 19 February 2008 a bolide traveled across the sky along a southern trajectory ending in a terminal burst above Oregon. The event was well recorded by the USArray, other seismic networks, four infrasound arrays, and several video cameras. We compare the results of locating the burst using these different sensor networks. Specifically, we reverse time migrate acoustic-to-seismic coupled signals recorded by the USArray out to 800 km range to image the source in 2-D space and time. We also apply a grid search over source altitude and time, minimizing the misfit between observed and predicted arrival times using 3-D ray tracing with a high-resolution atmospheric velocity model. Our seismic and video results suggest a point source rather than a line source associated with a hypersonic trajectory. We compare the seismic source locations to those obtained by using different combinations of observed infrasound array signal back azimuths and arrival times. We find that all locations are consistent. However, the seismic location is more accurate than the infrasound locations due to the larger number of seismic sensors, a more favorable seismic source-receiver geometry, and shorter ranges to the seismometers. For the infrasound array locations, correcting for the wind improved the accuracy, but implementing arrival times while increasing the precision reduced the accuracy presumably due to limitations of the source location method and/or atmospheric velocity model. We show that despite known complexities associated with acoustic-to-seismic coupling, aboveground infrasound sources can be located with dense seismic networks with remarkably high accuracy and precision.

AB Combining the inherent scaffolding provided by DNA structure with spatial control over fluorophore positioning allows the creation of DNA-based photonic wires with the capacity to transfer excitation energy over distances greater than 150 A. We demonstrate hybrid multifluorophore DNA-photonic wires that both self-assemble around semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) and exploit their unique photophysical properties. In this architecture, the QDs function as both central nanoscaffolds and ultraviolet energy harvesting donors that drive Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) cascades through the DNA wires with emissions that approach the near-infrared. To assemble the wires, DNA fragments labeled with a series of increasingly red-shifted acceptor-dyes were hybridized in a predetermined linear arrangement to a complementary DNA template that was chemoselectively modified with a hexahistidine-appended peptide. The peptide portion facilitated metal-affinity coordination of multiple hybridized DNA-dye structures to a central OD completing the final nanocrystal-DNA photonic wire structure. We assembled several such hybrid structures where labeled-acceptor dyes were excited by the QDs and arranged to interact with each other via consecutive FRET processes. The inherently facile reconfiguration properties of this design allowed testing of alternate formats including the addition of an intercalating dye located in the template DNA or placement of multiple identical dye acceptors that engaged in homoFRET. Lastly, a photonic structure linking the central QD with multiple copies of DNA hybridized with 4-sequentially arranged acceptor dyes and demonstrating 4-consecutive energy transfer steps was examined. Step-by-step monitoring of energy transfer with both steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy allowed efficiencies to be tracked through the structures and suggested that acceptor dye quantum yields are the predominant limiting factor. Integrating such DNA-based photonic structures with QDs can help create a new generation of biophotonic wire assemblies with widespread potential in nanotechnology.

AB Detection of high-energy (>= 100 MeV) gamma rays by the Fermi Large Area Telescope from a nova in the symbiotic binary system V407 Cygni has opened the possibility of high-energy neutrino detection from this type of source. A thermonuclear explosion on the white dwarf surface sets off a nova shell in motion that expands and slows down in a dense surrounding medium provided by the red giant companion. Particles are accelerated in the shocks of the shell and interact with the surrounding medium to produce observed gamma rays. We show that proton-proton interaction, which is most likely responsible for producing gamma rays via neutral pion decay, produces >= 0:1 GeV neutrinos that can be detected by the current and future experiments at >= 10 GeV.

AB We prepare ZnSe nanocrystals in the presence of several different Mn precursors to investigate the incorporation of Mn as an intentional impurity. Four different Mn sources, including dimethylmanganese, tricarbonyl methylcyclopentadienylmanganese, Mn(II) cyclohexanebutyrate, and Mn(2)(mu-SeMe)(2)(CO)(8) are tested in a standard hot-injection organometallic synthesis. The resulting ZnSe nanocrystals can exhibit two optical emission peaks: one related to the incorporation of Mn at around 585 nm and one due to electron-hole recombination in the nanocrystal at around 400 nm. We use the photoluminescence intensity ratio of these two peaks to extract information about the doping efficiency. These results are further verified with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Among the four Mn sources, dimethylmanganese leads to the highest doping efficiency, tricarbonyl methylcyclopentadienymanganese and Mn(2)(mu-SeMe)(2)(CO)(8) lead to poor incorporation, and Mn(II) cyclohexanebutyrate leads to weak incorporation of Mn that appears to be mostly at or near the nanocrystal surface.

AB We revisit a reported "Ionospheric Mass Ejection" using prior event observations to guide a global simulation of local ionospheric outflows, global magnetospheric circulation, and plasma sheet pressurization, and comparing our results with the observed global response. Our simulation framework is based on test particle motions in the Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry (LFM) global circulation model electromagnetic fields. The inner magnetosphere is simulated with the Comprehensive Ring Current Model (CRCM) of Fok and Wolf, driven by the transpolar potential developed by the LFM magnetosphere, and includes an embedded plasmaspheric simulation. Global circulation is stimulated using the observed solar wind conditions for the period 24-25 September 1998. This period begins with the arrival of a Coronal Mass Ejection, initially with northward, but later with southward interplanetary magnetic field. Test particles are launched from the ionosphere with fluxes specified by local empirical relationships of outflow to electrodynamic and particle precipitation imposed by the MHD simulation. Particles are tracked until they are lost from the system downstream or into the atmosphere, using the full equations of motion. Results are compared with the observed ring current and a simulation of polar and auroral wind outflows driven globally by solar wind dynamic pressure. We find good quantitative agreement with the observed ring current, and reasonable qualitative agreement with earlier simulation results, suggesting that the solar wind driven global simulation generates realistic energy dissipation in the ionosphere and that the Strangeway relations provide a realistic local outflow description.

AB We investigate experimentally and theoretically the effects of two different types of conductivity, electrical and ionic, upon magic-angle spinning NMR spectra. The experimental demonstration of these effects involves (63)Cu, (65)Cu, and (127)I variable temperature MAS-NMR experiments on samples of gamma-CuI, a Cu(+)-ion conductor at elevated temperatures as well as a wide bandgap semiconductor. We extend previous observations that the chemical shifts depend very strongly upon the square of the spinning-speed as well as the particular sample studied and the magnetic field strength. By using the (207)Pb resonance of lead nitrate mixed with the gamma-CuI as an internal chemical shift thermometer we show that frictional heating effects of the rotor do not account for the observations. Instead, we find that spinning bulk CuI, a p-type semiconductor due to Cu(+) vacancies in nonstoichiometric samples, in a magnetic field generates induced AC electric currents from the Lorentz force that can resistively heat the sample by over 200 degrees C. These induced currents oscillate along the rotor spinning axis at the spinning speed. Their associated heating effects are disrupted in samples containing inert filler material, indicating the existence of macroscopic current pathways between micron-sized crystallites. Accurate measurements of the temperature-dependence of the (63)Cu and (127)I chemical shifts in such diluted samples reveal that they are of similar magnitude (ca. 0.27 ppm/K) but opposite sign (being negative for (63)Cu), and appear to depend slightly upon the particular sample. This relationship is identical to the corresponding slopes of the chemical shifts versus square of the spinning speed, again consistent with sample heating as the source of the observed large shift changes. Higher drive-gas pressures are required to spin samples that have higher effective electrical conductivities, indicating the presence of a braking effect arising from the induced currents produced by rotating a conductor in a homogeneous magnetic field. We present a theoretical analysis and finite-element simulations that account for the magnitude and rapid time-scale of the resistive heating effects and the quadratic spinning speed dependence of the chemical shift observed experimentally. Known thermophysical properties are used as inputs to the model, the sole adjustable parameter being a scaling of the bulk thermal conductivity of CuI in order to account for the effective thermal conductivity of the rotating powdered sample. In addition to the dramatic consequences of electrical conductivity in the sample, ionic conductivity also influences the spectra. All three nuclei exhibit quadrupolar satellite transitions extending over several hundred kilohertz that reflect defects perturbing the cubic symmetry of the zincblende lattice. Broadening of these satellite transitions with increasing temperature arises from the onset of Cu(+) ion jumps to sites with different electric field gradients, a process that interferes with the formation of rotational echoes. This broadening has been quantitatively analyzed for the (63)Cu and (65)Cu nuclei using a simple model in the literature to yield an activation barrier of 0.64 eV (61.7 kJ/mole) for the Cu(+) ion jumping motion responsible for the ionic conductivity that agrees with earlier results based on (63)Cu NMR relaxation times of static samples.

AB Laser separation of particles is achieved using forces resulting from the momentum exchange between particles and photons constituting the laser radiation. Particles can experience different optical forces depending on their size and/or optical properties, such as refractive index. Thus, particles can move at different speeds in the presence of an optical force, leading to spatial separations. In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis on laser separation of non-absorbing aerosol particles moving at speeds (1-10 cm/sec) which are several orders of magnitude greater than typical particle speeds used in previous studies in liquid medium. The calculations are presented for particle deflection by a loosely focused Gaussian 1064 nm laser, which simultaneously holds and deflects particles entrained in flow perpendicular to their direction of travel. The gradient force holds the particles against the viscous drag for a short period of time. The scattering force simultaneously pushes the particles, perpendicular to the flow, during this period. Our calculations show particle deflections of over 2500 mu m for 15 mu m aerosol particles, and a separation of over 1500 mu m between 5 mu m and 10 mu m particles when the laser is operated at 10W. We show that a separation of about 421 mu m can be achieved between two particles of the same size (10 mu m) but having a refractive index difference of 0.1. Density based separations are also possible. Two 10 mu m particles with a density difference of 600 kg/m(3) can be separated by 193 mu m. Examples are shown for separation distances between polystyrene, poly(methylmethacrylate), silica and water particles. These large laser guided deflections represent a novel achievement for optical separation in the gas phase. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America

AB Waveguide terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is used to characterize the temperature dependent vibrational properties of three threat-related materials: 4-amino-dinitrotoluene (4A-DNT), pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX). These materials are characterized as thin polycrystalline layers deposited in the 50 micron gap of a metal parallel plate waveguide. For each material waveguide THz-TDS at least partially resolves the underlying vibrational spectrum and reveals new features that have not been observed in previous free space measurements of these materials. Strong experimental evidence for a phase transformation is observed for 4A-DNT as the polycrystalline layer on the waveguide surface is cooled to near 200 K. For PETN a highly resolved spectrum containing eleven vibrational lines is observed at 11 K with full-width at half maximum linewidths ranging from 7 GHz to 40 GHz. Based on comparison to measurements in the literature, our PETN measurement suggests that it is possible to produce narrow linewidths from a polycrystalline layer that approach those from a single crystal. Finally, for HMX, a highly resolved vibrational spectrum is measured that is assigned to the metastable gamma polymorph. (C)2010 Optical Society of America

AB We present the first thermospheric wind measurements using a Doppler Asymmetric Spatial Heterodyne (DASH) spectrometer and the oxygen red-line nightglow emission. The ground-based observations were made from Washington, DC and include simultaneous calibration measurements to track and correct instrument drifts. Even though the measurements were made under challenging thermal and light pollution conditions, they are of good quality with photon statistics uncertainties between about three and twenty-nine meters per second, depending on the nightglow intensity. The wind data are commensurate with a representative set of Millstone Hill Fabry-Perot wind measurements selected for similar geomagnetic and solar cycle conditions.

AB Results from a climatologically forced, eddy-resolving (1/12 degrees) Atlantic simulation using the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model help clarify some presently unresolved connections between volume transports of Nordic Seas overflow water at key locations in the northernmost North Atlantic Ocean. The model results demonstrate that, in addition to the known westward flow through the Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone (CGFZ), some Iceland Scotland overflow water (ISOW) flows westward through gaps in the Reykjanes Ridge north of the CGFZ into the Irminger Sea, and some flows southward along the eastern flank of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge into the West European Basin. These results provide insights into the well-known inconsistency between observed westward transport of ISOW through the CGFZ (2.4 Sv) and the transports upstream at Southeast of Iceland section (3.2 Sv) and downstream in the western Irminger Sea (4.5 Sv). Although the portion of the simulated ISOW that flows through CGFZ is about 500 m deeper than observed, the model results also show two ISOW pathways of this flow into the Irminger Sea, one northward along the western flank of the Reykjanes Ridge and the other westward before turning north-eastward on the western side of the Irminger Basin. Comparisons with the long-term moored instrument database in the Irminger Sea show that the model-based mean circulation is in reasonable agreement with observed volume transports of overflow water and that it gives approximately correct temperature and salinity characteristics.

AB The emergence of Hendra Virus (Hey) and Nipah Virus (NiV) which can cause fatal infections in both animals and humans has triggered a search for an effective vaccine. Here, we have explored the potential for generating an effective humoral immune response to these zoonotic pathogens using an alphavirus-based vaccine platform. Groups of mice were immunized with Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus replicon particles (VRPs) encoding the attachment or fusion glycoproteins of either Hey or NiV. We demonstrate the induction of highly potent cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies to both viruses using this approach. Preliminary study suggested early enhancement in the antibody response with use of a modified version of VRP. Overall, these data suggest that the use of an alphavirus-derived vaccine platform might serve as a viable approach for the development of an effective vaccine against the henipaviruses.

AB The effects of local and remote wind forcing of water level heights in the Virginia Coast Reserve (VCR) are examined in order to determine the significant forces governing estuarine motions over subtidal time scales Recent (1996-2008) data from tide and wind stations in the lagoon a tide station to the north at Sandy Hook NJ and one offshore wind station at the Chesapeake Light Tower are examined Sea surface height spectrum calculations reveal significant diurnal and semidiurnal tidal effects along with subtidal variations but a suppressed inertial signal Sea-surface heights (SSH) with 2-5 day periods at Wachapreague VA are coherent with those at Sandy Hook and lag them in time suggesting that southward-propagating continental shelf waves provide subtidal variability within the lagoon The coherence between lagoon winds and sea surface height as well as between winds and cross-lagoon sea height gradient were significant at a relatively small number of frequency and wind direction combinations The frequencies at which this wind forcing occurs are the tidal and subtidal bands present to the north so that lagoon winds selectively augment existing SSH signals but do not generate them The impact of the wind direction is closely related to the geometry of the lagoon and bounding landmasses The effect of wind stress is also constrained by geometry in affecting the cross-lagoon water height gradient Water levels at subtidal frequencies are likely forced by a combination of local wind forcing remote wind forcing and oceanic forcing modified by the complex topography of the lagoon shelf and barrier Islands Published by Elsevier Ltd

ID SHEETS; FILMS
AB Transmission and reflection measurements performed on single- and few-layer graphene indicate the presence of circular dichroism (CD). Surface roughness appears to moderate the effect with ultraflat graphene on mica not showing CD. Application of an external magnetic field had no effect, ruling out any contribution from spin polarization. Symmetry breaking of the graphene lattice due to a soft shear mode in the graphene sheet is believed to be the origin of the requisite asymmetry for this effect to occur.

It also illustrates the potential for understanding transient events such as solar flares. This is a vast topic, and therefore the review is necessarily not complete, but we have tried to be as general as possible in showing in particular how solar spectra are currently being used to understand the solar upper atmosphere. The review is intended for non-solar physicists with an interest in spectroscopy as well as for solar physicists who are not specialists in spectroscopy.

AB We report on the search for 0.1-10 GeV emission from magnetars in 17 months of Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) observations. No significant evidence for gamma-ray emission from any of the currently known magnetars is found. The most stringent upper limits to date on their persistent emission in the Fermi energy range are estimated between similar to 10(-12) and 10(-10) erg s(-1) cm(-2), depending on the source. We also searched for gamma-ray pulsations and possible outbursts, also with no significant detection. The upper limits derived support the presence of a cutoff at an energy below a few MeV in the persistent emission of magnetars. They also show the likely need for a revision of current models of outer-gap emission from strongly magnetized pulsars, which, in some realizations, predict detectable GeV emission from magnetars at flux levels exceeding the upper limits identified here using the Fermi-LAT observations.

AB Prompted by the Fermi-LAT discovery of a radio-quiet gamma-ray pulsar inside the CTA 1 supernova remnant, we obtained a 130 ks XMM-Newton observation to assess the timing behavior of this pulsar. Exploiting both the unprecedented photon harvest and the contemporary Fermi-LAT timing measurements, a 4.7 sigma single-peak pulsation is detected, making PSR J0007+7303 the second example, after Geminga, of a radio-quiet gamma-ray pulsar also seen to pulsate in X-rays. Phase-resolved spectroscopy shows that the off-pulse portion of the light curve is dominated by a power-law, non-thermal spectrum, while the X-ray peak emission appears to be mainly of thermal origin, probably from a polar cap heated by magnetospheric return currents, pointing to a hot spot varying throughout the pulsar rotation.

AB Surface modification of aluminum powders for the purpose of flow improvement was performed and several samples were prepared. Correlations between the flowability and reactivity for these powders as well as for the initial untreated aluminum powder were established. The powders were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), particle size distribution, angle of repose flowability test, Constant Volume Explosion (CVE) combustion test, and Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). The surface modification of micron-sized aluminum powders was done by: (1) dry coating nano-particles of silica, titania and carbon black onto the surface of spherical aluminum powders and (2) chemically and physically altering the surface properties of the same powders with methyltrichlorosilane. All surface modifications improved flowability of the powders. CVE measurements indicate that powders with an improved flowability exhibit improved combustion characteristics if the powder treatment does not add an inert component to aluminum. The TGA results do not show significant differences in the reactivity of various powders. Based on combined flowability and CVE characteristics, the silane modified material gave the best results followed by the powders dry coated with carbon, titania and silica, respectively.

AB We present a sequential molecular dynamics/quantum mechanics (MD/QM) study and steady-state spectroscopy measurements of the nanostar dendrimer (a phenylene-ethynylene dendrimer attached to a ethynylperylene chromophore) to determine the temperature dependence of the electronic absorption process. We studied the nanostar as separate units and performed MD simulations for each chromophore at 10 and 300 K to study the effects of the temperature on the structures. The absorption spectrum of the nanostar, at 10 and 300 K, was computed using an ensemble of 8000 structures for each chromophore. Quantum mechanical (QM) ZINDO/S calculations were performed for each conformation in the ensemble, including 16 excited states for a total of 128 000 excitation energies, and the intensity was scaled linearly with the number of conjugated units. Our calculations and experimental spectra measured for the individual chromophores and the nanostar are in good agreement. We found that for each system, the spectral features are narrow at 10 K because the transitions are localized in wavelength and the absorption energy depends primarily on the length of the chromophore, while at 300 K, the spectra features are quite broad and blue-shifted due to conformational changes on the systems. We explain in detail the effects of temperature and their consequence for the absorption process.

AB Whereas spin injection from a ferromagnet into heavily doped Si is facilitated by tunneling through a narrow depletion region, it is shown here that for moderately doped Si it is crucial to suppress the Schottky barrier. Reducing carrier depletion by exposing the Si surface to a Cs flux prior to Al2O3 tunnel barrier growth, we demonstrate spin injection by tunneling from Fe into Si (confirmed by circular polarized electroluminescence) and achieve electrical detection (via the Hanle effect) of spin accumulation induced at room temperature in Ni80Fe20/Al2O3/Si junctions with 1.5 x 1018 cm(-3) carrier density. Tailored interfaces thus enable spin injection into moderately doped Si.

AB Bubbles in sediments, imaged via Computed Tomography (CT) scanning, and in surrogate transparent material (gelatin), are well-described geometrically as eccentric oblate spheroids. While sediments are undoubtedly visco-elasto-plastic solids, only part of that complex behavior appears to influence significantly the formation and shape of gas bubbles. Specifically, the shape of these bubbles can be explained if the mechanical response of fine-grained sediment is approximated by Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM). To determine the adequacy of the LEFM approximation for gas bubble growth in fine-grained sediments, a number of gas bubbles were injected and grown in natural sediments, while monitoring the size and shape using an industrial CT scanner. A comparison of measured inverse aspect ratios (IARs) of the injected bubbles with calculated IARs from pressure records provides support for the LEFM theory. Deviations from LEFM are observable in the data, but as bubbles grow larger they trend more closely toward the theory. The use of LEFM has been shown to describe gas bubble growth in shallow coastal sediments to first order.

AB Infrared attenuated total reflection spectroscopy has been used to study the interaction of DMMP vapor with SiO2, Al2O3, and AlO(OH) vs relative humidity (RH) and DMMP partial pressure (P/P-0). For SiO2 the growth with increasing RH once-like and liquid-like layers is seen in agreement with previous work. H <-> D exchange during exposure to H2O and D2O indicates that the ice-like layer is more resistant to exchange, consistent with stronger H-bonding than in the liquid-like layer. Exposure of nominally dry SiO2 to D2O indicates the existence of adsorbed H2O that does not exhibit an spectrum. The ice-like layer appears only at a finite RH. Exposure of SiO2 to DMMP in the absence of intentionally added H2O shows the formation of a strongly bound molecular species followed by a liquid-like layer. The strong interaction involves SiO-H center dot center dot center dot O=P bonds to surface silanols and/or HO-H center dot center dot center dot O=P bonds to preadsorbed molecular H2O. At a finite RH the ice-like layer forms on SiO2 even in the presence of DMMP up to P/P-0 = 0.30. DMMP does no: appear to penetrate the ice-like layer under these conditions, and the tendency to form a such a layer drives the displacement of DM MP. Amorphous Al2O3 and AlO(OH) do not exhibit an ice-like H2O layer. Both have a higher surface OH content than does SiO2, which leads to higher coverages of H2O or DM MP at equivalent RH or P/P-0. At low P/P-0, for which adsorption is dominated by Al-OH center dot center dot center dot O=P bonding, a-Al2O3 interacts with DM MP more strongly than does AlO(OH) as a result of the higher acidity of OH sites on the former. Up to RH = 0.30 and P/P-0 = 0.30, DMMP appears to remain bonded to the surface rather than being displaced by H2O. H2O appears to have little or no effect on the total amount of DMMP adsorbed on any of these surfaces, up to an RH of 0.30 and a P/P-0 of 0.30. The results have implications for the transport of DMMP and related molecules on oxide surfaces in the environment.

TI Removal of surface-reflected light for the measurement of remote-sensing
reflectance from an above-surface platform
SO OPTICS EXPRESS

DT Article
ID OCEAN COLOR; IN-WATER; OPTIMIZATION; VALIDATION; SYSTEM; MODEL
AB Using hyperspectral measurements made in the field, we show that the effective sea-surface reflectance rho (defined as the ratio of the surface-reflected radiance at the specular direction corresponding to the downwelling sky radiance from one direction) varies not only for different measurement scans, but also can differ by a factor of 8 between 400 nm and 800 nm for the same scan. This means that the derived water-leaving radiance (or remote-sensing reflectance) can be highly inaccurate if a spectrally constant rho value is applied (although errors can be reduced by carefully filtering measured raw data). To remove surface-reflected light in field measurements of remote sensing reflectance, a spectral optimization approach was applied, with results compared with those from remote-sensing models and from direct measurements. The agreement from different determinations suggests that reasonable results for remote sensing reflectance of clear blue water to turbid brown water are obtainable from above-surface measurements, even under conditions of high waves.

AB We investigate the fine structure of band-edge excitons in PbSe nanocrystals and nanorods using circularly polarized magnetophotoluminescence and optically detected magnetic resonance and, based on the results, propose a singlet-triplet model of exciton photoluminescence from nondegenerate conduction and valence bands. From the data and model we extract g-factors for electrons and holes of +1.2 and +0.8, respectively. The splitting of the triplet ground state, which is responsible for the low-temperature photoluminescence, is 88 mu eV for nanorods, and less than 20 mu eV for nanocrystals. The intervalley splitting of the electron and hole levels in the nanocrystals is much larger than the electron-hole exchange interaction.

AB In atmospheric and space environment studies it is key to understand and to quantify the coupling of atmospheric regions and the solar impacts on the whole atmosphere system. There is thus a need for a numerical model that encompasses the whole atmosphere and can self-consistently simulate the dynamic, physical, chemical, radiative, and electrodynamic processes that are important for the Sun-Earth system. This is the goal for developing the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM). In this work, we report the development and preliminary validation of the thermospheric extension of WACCM (WACCM-X), which extends from the Earth's surface to the upper thermosphere. The WACCM-X uses the finite volume dynamical core from the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model and includes an interactive chemistry module resolving most known neutral chemistry and major ion chemistry in the middle and upper atmosphere, and photolysis and photoionization. Upper atmosphere processes, such as nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium, radiative transfer, auroral processes, ion drag, and molecular diffusion of major and minor species, have been included in the model. We evaluate the model performance by examining the quantities essential for the climate and weather of the upper atmosphere: the mean compositional, thermal, and wind structures from the troposphere to the upper thermosphere and their variability on interannual, seasonal, and daily scales. These quantities are compared with observational and previous model results.

AB The field of seismoacoustics is emerging as an important discipline in its own right, owing to the value of colocated seismic and infrasound arrays that sample elastic energy propagating in both the solid Earth and the atmosphere. The fusion of seismic and infrasonic data provides unique constraints for studying a broad range of topics including the source physics of natural and man-made events, interaction of mechanical waves in Earth's crust and atmosphere, source location and characterization, and inversion of atmospheric and shallow subsurface properties. This review article traces the seismoacoustic wavefield from source to receiver. Beginning at the source, we review the latest insights into the physics of natural and anthropogenic sources that have arisen from the analysis of seismoacoustic data. Next, a comparative review of 3-D models of the atmosphere and solid Earth and the latest algorithms for modeling the propagation of mechanical waves through these media provides the framework for a discussion of the seismoacoustic path. The optimal measurement of seismic and acoustic waves, including a discussion of instrumentation, as well as of array configurations and regional networks, is then outlined. Finally, we focus on broad research applications where the analysis of seismoacoustic data is starting to yield important new results, such as in the field of nuclear explosion monitoring. This review is intended to provide a primer on the field of seismoacoustics for seismologists or acousticians, while also providing a more general review of what constraints seismoacoustics can uniquely provide for understanding geophysical phenomena.

ID REFRACTION; SCATTERING; NIHILITY; LIGHT
AB We theoretically investigate microwave transmission through a zero-index metamaterial loaded with dielectric defects. The metamaterial is impedance matched to free space, with the permittivity and permeability tending towards zero over a given frequency range. By simply varying the radii and permittivities of the defects, total transmission or reflection of the impinging electromagnetic wave can be achieved. The proposed defect structure can offer advances in shielding or cloaking technologies without restricting the object's viewpoint. Active control of the observed exotic transmission and reflection signatures can occur by incorporating tunable refractive index materials such as liquid crystals and BaSrTiO(3).

AB Air-augmented waterjets derive their propulsion from compressed gas mixed directly into the main flow. The gas bubbles expand as the mixture passes through the pressure gradient of the convergent nozzle, and energy is imparted to the water from the air in a complex fashion. This experiment measures the exchange of air and water energy for three nozzles over a range of flowrares and void fractions using compressed air injected and mixed upstream of the nozzle entrance. Pressures and nozzle thrust are measured to examine flow changes. The results are compared with predictions from a one-dimensional bubbly flow model. The measured efficiencies are lower than or comparable to predicted values. [DOI: 10.1115/1.4002999]

These techniques were applied to verify the influence of irradiation damage on the optoelectronic properties of each subcell in the monolithic MJ structure and correlate them with the illuminated (AM0, 1 sun, 25 degrees C) current-voltage (I-V) and quantum efficiency (QE) measurements. Minority carrier lifetime degradation data from CL measurements confirm that the GaAs subcell dominates the overall degradation of the 3J device. Also, a carrier removal mechanism in the GaAs subcell was revealed from the EBIC/CL measurements.

SO JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL ACOUSTICS
LA English
DT Article
DE Random media; uncertainty; acoustic propagation; polynomial chaos
ID GENERALIZED POLYNOMIAL CHAOS; LARGE RANDOMNESS; EQUATIONS; MODELS
AB A generalization of acoustic propagation in an uncertain ocean waveguide environment is described using a probabilistic formulation in terms of stochastic basis expansions. The problem is studied in the context of wave propagation in random media, where environmental uncertainty and its interaction with the acoustic field are described by stochastic, rather than deterministic parameters and fields. This representation, constructed explicitly in terms of Karhunen-Loeve (KL) and polynomial chaos (PC) expansions, leads to coupled differential equations for the expansion coefficients from which the stochastic acoustic field can be obtained as a random process. The equations are solved in the narrow-angle parabolic approximation using a split-step method to compute moments of the random acoustic field at any point in the waveguide. Results are compared with Monte-Carlo computations of the acoustic field in the same environment to study the convergence of the truncated stochastic basis expansion representing the acoustic field. The rate of convergence of the truncated chaos expansion was found to be dependent on the particular moment computed. For the first and second moments corresponding to the mean field and the field intensity, convergence was achieved rapidly, only requiring low order expansions. Another second moment, the acoustic spatial coherence, converged more slowly due to the relative phase information that, in this formulation, is described by polynomial approximation. While stochastic basis expansions show promise for the development of compact representations of the acoustic field in the presence of environmental uncertainty, accelerated convergence schemes will be needed to allow for practical applications.

AB This paper presents a method for registration of noisy airborne images for the purpose of the detection of moving objects. A new iterative algorithm is developed and presented for the correction of geometrical distortion caused by global motion in a scene. A binary hypotheses test is subsequently established using a likelihood ratio test (LRT) to classify the pixels in the corrected image as either locally moving (object motion) or not moving (stationary). The paper also incorporates the use of the Expectation-Maximization method for estimation of statistical image features needed by the LRT. We use and present experiments with real image sequences to validate the analytical developments. (C) 2010 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers. [DOI: 10.1117/1.3520057]

The present study quantifies the relative benefits of model complexity, compared to surface-observation assimilation, for making 30-min SCM ensemble predictions (nowcasts). The SCM is initialized and forced by timely mesoscale forecasts, making it capable of providing flow-dependent probabilistic very short-range forecasts of PBL profiles wherever surface observations are available. Factor separation (FS) analysis measures the relative contributions to skill from EF surface assimilation compared to selected SCM components: parameterized radiation and objectively scaled horizontal advection. Here, the SCM-EF system is presented and its deterministic skill (as represented by ensemble-mean error) is analyzed with FS. Results show that surface assimilation can more meaningfully contribute to the skill levels of temperature, wind, and mixing-ratio nowcasts than model enhancements under a wide range of flow scenarios. However, in the convective PBL regime surface assimilation can enhance the moist bias often observed in parameterized PBL mixing ratio profiles due to poor covariances estimated from the ensemble. Then, the SCM-EF proves useful in revealing a model deficiency. Externally imposed horizontal advection is required to provide skillful ensemble-mean forecasts when not assimilating surface observations, but can offset the benefit realized from assimilation by quickly sweeping the updated state out of the domain. The radiation scheme has a minor effect on forecast performance. It improves the nowcast surface temperature at night, and can act synergistically with assimilation to improve low-level jet predictions, but the effect above the surface steeply decreases with height. The results suggest that an SCM-EF may be helpful in wind-power and pollutant dispersion applications.

AB Parallel code presents a non-trivial problem of load balancing computational workload throughout a system of hardware and software resources. The task of load balancing is further complicated when the number of allowable processors changes through time. This paper presents a two-component load-balancing mechanism using optimal initial workload distribution and dynamic load maintenance. The initial guess is provided by inversion of the workload distribution function. Workload distribution inversion enables efficient domain decomposition for arbitrary workloads and easily compensates for changes in system resources. Dynamic load balancing is provided by process feedback control as used, for example, in control mechanisms of physical processes. Proportional, integral, and differential (PID) feedback readily allows controls to compensate for runtime-changes of the workload distribution function. This paper demonstrates a one-dimensional realization of the ideas presented here. We apply this load-balancing technique to our gridless direct simulation Monte Carlo algorithm. We demonstrate that the method does indeed maintain uniform workload distribution across available resources as the workload and usable system resources undergo change through time.

AB The full power of ab initio quantum mechanics applied to obtain the interaction of drugs and their molecular targets can provide detailed energetics useful to understanding of mechanism and drug design. The computational problem is the growth in quantum computational difficulty with the number of atoms in the molecule. As biochemical molecules are often large, the computational difficulty of the full quantum problem is challenging. Two things help alleviate the difficulty, viz., (1) parallel supercomputers, and (2) quantum crystallography and the use of quantum kernels, a method well suited for parallel computation. Calculations are simplified by approximating a full molecule by smaller "kernels" of atoms. Here, it is suggested that problems of medicinal chemistry, such as the rational design of drugs, may be illuminated by the use of the ab initio quantum-mechanical kernel energy method. Example calculations within the MP2/3-21G chemical model are illustrated for three aminoglycoside drugs, which attach to ribosomal A-site RNA nucleotide targets. (C) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB We consider a discrete time-and-space route-optimization problem across a finite time horizon in which multiple searchers seek to detect one or more probabilistically moving targets. This article formulates a novel convex mixed-integer nonlinear program for this problem that generalizes earlier models to situations with multiple targets, searcher deconfliction, and target-and location-dependent search effectiveness. We present two solution approaches, one based on the cutting-plane method and the other on linearization. These approaches result in the first practical exact algorithms for solving this important problem, which arises broadly in military, rescue, law enforcement, and border patrol operations. The cutting-plane approach solves many realistically sized problem instances in a few minutes, while existing branch-and-bound algorithms fail. A specialized cut improves solution time by 50% in difficult problem instances. The approach based on linearization, which is applicable in important special cases, may further reduce solution time with one or two orders of magnitude. The solution time for the cutting-plane approach tends to remain constant as the number of searchers grows. In part, then, we overcome the difficulty that earlier solution methods have with many searchers. (C) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.dagger Naval Research Logistics 57: 701-717, 2010

AB Complex projects typically involve high-consequence, project-specific risks that require detailed analysis and for which risk response actions (RRAs) need to be developed and implemented. The risk picture is dynamic. The sources and consequences of risks evolve and change over the project lifecycle; thus, it is necessary to constantly monitor risk. RRAs that do not keep pace with the changing project situation are a major cause of risk management failures. This paper extends traditional cost risk analysis from a purely macroscopic perspective by evaluating and tracking project-specific risks and RRAs at the microscopic level. The key elements of the method are (i) develop risk scenarios, (ii) model them using generalized decision trees, and (iii) quantify the risks using Monte Carlo simulation. For each risk the probability and cost values are conditional on the specific RRA and the preceding outcomes. The use of fractional factorial design provides a subset of all possible RRA combinations for efficiently determining the preferred total project RRA solution. Risk curves are generated to provide the necessary information to analyze, track, and manage the performance of the selected RRAs over time. Project managers and team leaders can use this information to dynamically manage the RRAs to keep pace with the changing project situation, thereby increasing the probability of project success in a cost-effective manner. The approach is detailed using a realistic but simplified case of a project examined first with one and then expanded to three technical risks. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB Using a sample of reverse leveraged buyout ('reverse-LBO') firms, I find that discretionary accruals quality (AQ), the quality of accruals that are subject to management discretion, significantly improves from pre-LBO to post-reverse LBO. Moreover, buyout houses' board seats and the length of firms' stay-in-private periods are significant explanatory variables for the cross-sectional variation in discretionary AQ for post-reverse-LBO firms. My findings suggest that the monitoring provided by private equity buyout houses improves discretionary AQ, consistent with the view of Jensen (1989a,b) that LBOs are a solution to inefficiencies that arise from agency problems.

AB The unique properties provided by hybrid semiconductor quantum dot (QD) bioconjugates continue to stimulate interest for many applications ranging from biosensing to energy harvesting. Understanding both the structure and function of these composite materials is an important component in their development. Here, we compare the architecture that results from using two common self-assembly chemistries to attach DNA to QDs. DNA modified to display either a terminal biotin or an oligohistidine peptidyl sequence was assembled to streptavidin/amphiphilic polymer- or PEG-functionalized QDs, respectively. A series of complementary acceptor dye-labeled DNA were hybridized to different positions on the DNA in each QD configuration and the separation distances between the QD-donor and each dye-acceptor probed with Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET). The polyhistidine self-assembly yielded QD-DNA bioconjugates where predicted and experimental separation distances matched reasonably well. Although displaying efficient FRET, data from QD-DNA bioconjugates assembled using biotin-streptavidin chemistry did not match any predicted separation distances. Modeling based upon known QD and DNA structures along with the linkage chemistry and FRET-derived distances was used to simulate each QD-DNA structure and provide insight into the underlying architecture. Although displaying some rotational freedom, the DNA modified with the polyhistidine assembles to the QD with its structure extended out from the QD-PEG surface as predicted. In contrast, the random orientation of streptavidin on the QD surface resulted in DNA with a wide variety of possible orientations relative to the QD which cannot be controlled during assembly. These results suggest that if a particular QD biocomposite structure is desired, for example, random versus oriented, the type of bioconjugation chemistry utilized will be a key influencing factor.

AB In the two-envelope problem, one is offered a choice between two envelopes, one containing twice as much money as the other. After seeing the contents of the chosen envelope, the chooser is offered the opportunity to make an exchange for the other envelope. However, it appears to be advantageous to switch, regardless of what is observed in the chosen envelope. This problem has an extensive literature with connections to probability and decision theory. The literature is roughly divided between those that attempt to explain what is flawed in arguments for the advantage of switching and those that attempt to explain when such arguments can be correct if counterintuitive. We observe that arguments in the literature of the two-envelope problem that the problem is paradoxical are not supported by the probability distributions meant to illustrate the paradoxical nature. To correct this, we present a distribution that does support the usual arguments. Aside from questions about the interpretation of variables, algebraic ambiguity, modal confusions and the like, most of the interesting aspects of the two-envelope problem are assumed to require probability distributions on an infinite space. Our next main contribution is to show that the same counterintuitive arguments can be reflected in finite versions of the problem; thus they do not inherently require reasoning about infinite values. A topological representation of the problem is presented that captures both finite and infinite cases, explicating intuitions underlying the arguments both that there is an advantage to switching and that there is not.

AB A variable droop leading edge (VDLE) airfoil was successfully used to control compressible dynamic stall and its associated adverse pitching moment variations. But, the price for this success was a 10% loss of lift. A Gurney flap was then attached normally to the airfoil pressure surface at its trailing edge to recover this "lost-lift". Gurney flaps are seldom used in compressible flow environment, especially when large angles of attack changes are involved. So, it became necessary to find the optimum flap height that worked satisfactorily for all helicopter retreating blade flow conditions of interest. Parametric experimental studies of airfoil relative performance data with three separate Gurney flaps (0.01c-0.03c height) indicated that a 1%-chord height flap was the most satisfactory. Even though the appropriate Gurney flap height was thus established, a post-experiment analysis of the ensemble averaged airfoil unsteady canonical pressure distributions offered an explanation for the observed success of the 1% Gurney flap. Based on the findings, it is suggested that canonical pressures could serve as a new parameter that can be used for the determination of the Gurney flap height and minimize the experimental effort.

AB Micron-sized particles have primarily been used in microfabricated flow cytometers for calibration purposes and proof-of-concept experiments. With increasing frequency, microparticles are serving as a platform for assays measured in these small analytical devices. Light scattering has been used to measure the agglomeration of antibody-coated particles in the presence of an antigen. Impedance detection is another technology being integrated into microflow cytometers for microparticle-based assays. Fluorescence is the most popular detection method in flow cytometry, enabling highly sensitive multiplexed assays. Finally, magnetic particles have also been used to measure antigen levels using a magnetophoretic micro-device. We review the progress of microparticle-based assays in microflow cytometry in terms of the advantages and limitations of each approach.

AB Impaired wound healing is a persistent clinical problem which has been treated with mixed results. Studies aimed at elucidating the mechanism of impaired wound healing have focused on small cohorts of genes which leave an incomplete picture of the wound healing process. We aimed to investigate impaired wound healing via a comprehensive panel of angiogenic/inflammation-related genes and wound closure kinetics with and without the application of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), which has been demonstrated to improve wound healing. Full-thickness skin from the dorsal surface of "normal" (BALB/c) and "impaired" (db (+)/db (+)) mice was excised, and wound margin tissue was harvested 2, 7, and 10 days post injury. A separate, but identical wound model was established over 40 days in order to measure wound closure kinetics. Over time, the normal non-ESWT treated wounds exhibited varying patterns of elevated expression of 25-30 genes, whereas wounds with impaired healing displayed prolonged elevated expression of only a few genes (CXCL2, CXCL5, CSF3, MMP9, TGF-alpha). In response to ESWT, gene expression was augmented in both types of wounds, especially in the expression of PECAM-1; however, ESWT had no effect on wound closure in either model. In addition, multiple doses of ESWT exacerbated the delayed wound healing, and actually caused the wounds to initially increase in size. These data provide a more complete picture of impaired wound healing, and a way to evaluate various promising treatments.

AB Differential astrometry measurements from the Palomar High-precision Astrometric Search for Exoplanet Systems have been combined with lower precision single-aperture measurements covering a much longer timespan ( from eyepiece measurements, speckle interferometry, and adaptive optics) to determine improved visual orbits for 20 binary stars. In some cases, radial velocity observations exist to constrain the full three-dimensional orbit and determine component masses. The visual orbit of one of these binaries-alpha Com ( HD 114378)-shows that the system is likely to have eclipses, despite its very long period of 26 years. The next eclipse is predicted to be within a week of 2015 January 24.

AB Differential astrometry measurements from the Palomar High-precision Astrometric Search for Exoplanet Systems (PHASES) are used to constrain the astrometric orbit of the previously known less than or similar to 2 day subsystem in the triple system 63 Gem A and have detected a previously unknown two-year Keplerian wobble superimposed on the visual orbit of the much longer period (213 years) binary system HR 2896. 63 Gem A was already known to be triple from spectroscopic work, and absorption lines from all three stars can be identified and their individual Doppler shifts measured; new velocities for all three components are presented to aid in constraining the orbit and measuring the stellar masses. In fact, 63 Gem itself is a sextuple system: the hierarchical triple (Aa1-Aa2)-Ab (in which Aa1 and Aa2 orbit each other with a rapid period just under 2 days, and Ab orbits these every two years), plus three distant common proper motion companions. The very small astrometric perturbation caused by the inner pair in 63 Gem A stretches the limits of current astrometric capabilities, but PHASES observations are able to constrain the orientation of the orbit. The two bright stars comprising the HR 2896 long-period (213 year) system have a combined spectral type of K0III and the newly detected object's mass estimate places it in the regime of being an M dwarf. The motion of the stars are slow enough that their spectral features are always blended, preventing Doppler studies. The PHASES measurements and radial velocities (when available) have been combined with lower precision single-aperture measurements covering a much longer time frame (from eyepiece measurements, speckle interferometry, and adaptive optics) to improve the characterization of the long-period orbits in both binaries. The visual orbits of the short-and long-period systems are presented for both systems and used to calculate two possible values of the mutual inclinations between inner and outer orbits of 152 degrees +/- 12 degrees or a less likely value of 31 degrees +/- 11 degrees for 63 Gem A and 10.. 2 +/- 2 degrees.4 or 171 degrees.2 +/- 2 degrees.8 for HR 2896. The first is not coplanar, whereas the second is either nearly coplanar or anti-coplanar.

AB The Palomar High-precision Astrometric Search for Exoplanet Systems monitored 51 subarcsecond binary systems to evaluate whether tertiary companions as small as Jovian planets orbited either the primary or secondary stars, perturbing their otherwise smooth Keplerian motions. Six binaries are presented that show evidence of substellar companions orbiting either the primary or secondary star. Of these six systems, the likelihoods of two of the detected perturbations to represent real objects are considered to be "high confidence," while the remaining four systems are less certain and will require continued observations for confirmation.

AB This paper reports Very Large Array observations at 325 and 1425 MHz (lambda 90 cm and lambda 20 cm) during and near the periastron passage of HD 80606b on HJD 2454424.86 (2007 November 20). We obtain flux density limits (3 sigma) of 1.7 mJy and 48 mu Jy at 325 and 1425 MHz, respectively, equivalent to planetary luminosity limits of 2.3x10(24) erg s(-1) and 2.7 x 10(23) erg s-1. Unfortunately, these are several orders of magnitude above the nominal Jovian value (at 40 MHz) of 2x10(18) erg s-1. The motivation for these observations was that the planetary magnetospheric emission is driven by a stellar wind-planetary magnetosphere interaction so that the planetary luminosity would be elevated near periastron. We estimate that, near periastron, HD 80606b might be as much as 3000 times more luminous than Jupiter. Recent transit observations of HD 80606b provide reasonably stringent constraints on the planetary mass and radius, and, because of the planet's highly eccentric orbit, its rotation period is likely to be "pseudo-synchronized" to its orbital period, allowing a robust estimate of the former. Consequently, we are able to make relatively robust estimates of the emission frequency of the planetary magnetospheric emission and find it to be around 60-90 MHz. While this is too low for our reported observations, we compare HD 80606b to other high-eccentricity systems and assess the detection possibilities for both near-term and more distant future systems. Of the known high-eccentricity planets, only HD 80606b is likely to be detectable, as the others (HD 20782B and HD 4113) are both lower mass and longer rotational periods, which imply weaker magnetic field strengths. We find that both the forthcoming "EVLA low band" system, which will operate as low as 65 MHz, and the Low Frequency Array may be able to improve upon our planetary luminosity limits for HD 80606b, and do so at a more optimum frequency. If the low-frequency component of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA-lo) and a future lunar radio array are able to approach their thermal noise limits, they should be able to detect an HD 80606b-like planet, unless the amount by which the planet's luminosity increases is substantially less than the factor of 3000 that we estimate; for the SKA-lo, which is to be located in the southern hemisphere, future planetary surveys will have to find southern hemisphere equivalents of HD 80606b.

AB Absolute proper motions are determined for stars and galaxies to V = 17.5 over a 450 deg(2) area that encloses both Magellanic Clouds. The proper motions are based on photographic and CCD observations of the Yale/San Juan Southern Proper Motion program, which span a baseline of 40 years. Multiple, local relative proper-motion measures are combined in an overlap solution using photometrically selected Galactic disk stars to define a global relative system that is then transformed to absolute using external galaxies and Hipparcos stars to tie into the ICRS. The resulting catalog of 1.4 million objects is used to derive the mean absolute proper motions of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC); (mu(alpha) cos delta, mu(delta))(LMC) = (1.89, + 0.39)+/-(0.27, 0.27) mas yr(-1) and (mu(alpha) cos delta, mu(delta))(SMC) = (0.98,-1.01) +/-(0.30, 0.29) mas yr(-1). These mean motions are based on best-measured samples of 3822 LMC stars and 964 SMC stars. A dominant portion (0.25 mas yr(-1)) of the formal errors is due to the estimated uncertainty in the inertial system of the Hipparcos Catalog stars used to anchor the bright end of our proper motion measures. A more precise determination can be made for the proper motion of the SMC relative to the LMC; (mu(alpha) (cos delta), mu(delta))(SMC-LMC) = (-0.91,-1.49) +/- (0.16, 0.15) mas yr(-1). This differential value is combined with measurements of the proper motion of the LMC taken from the literature to produce new absolute proper-motion determinations for the SMC, as well as an estimate of the total velocity difference of the two clouds to within +/- 54 km s(-1). The absolute proper-motion results are consistent with the Clouds' orbits being marginally bound to the Milky Way, albeit on an elongated orbit. The inferred relative velocity between the Clouds places them near their binding energy limit and, thus, no definitive conclusion can be made as to whether or not the Clouds are bound to one another.

AB This paper presents a search for radio transients at a frequency of 73.8 MHz (4 m wavelength) using the all-sky imaging capabilities of the Long Wavelength Demonstrator Array (LWDA). The LWDA was a 16-dipole phased array telescope, located on the site of the Very Large Array in New Mexico. The field of view of the individual dipoles was essentially the entire sky, and the number of dipoles was sufficiently small that a simple software correlator could be used to make all-sky images. From 2006 October to 2007 February, we conducted an all-sky transient search program, acquiring a total of 106 hr of data; the time sampling varied, being 5 minutes at the start of the program and improving to 2 minutes by the end of the program. We were able to detect solar flares, and in a special-purpose mode, radio reflections from ionized meteor trails during the 2006 Leonid meteor shower. We detected no transients originating outside of the solar system above a flux density limit of 500 Jy, equivalent to a limit of no more than about 10(-2) events yr(-1) deg(-2), having a pulse energy density greater than or similar to 1.5 x 10(-20) J m(-2) Hz(-1) at 73.8 MHz for pulse widths of about 300 s. This event rate is comparable to that determined from previous all-sky transient searches, but at a lower frequency than most previous all-sky searches. We believe that the LWDA illustrates how an all-sky imaging mode could be a useful operational model for low-frequency instruments such as the Low Frequency Array, the Long Wavelength Array station, the low-frequency component of the Square Kilometre Array, and potentially the Lunar Radio Array.

AB Context. Globular clusters with their large populations of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are believed to be potential emitters of high-energy gamma-ray emission. The observation of this emission provides a powerful tool to assess the millisecond pulsar population of a cluster, is essential for understanding the importance of binary systems for the evolution of globular clusters, and provides complementary insights into magnetospheric emission processes.
Aims. Our goal is to constrain the millisecond pulsar populations in globular clusters from analysis of gamma-ray observations.
Methods. We use 546 days of continuous sky-survey observations obtained with the Large Area Telescope aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope to study the gamma-ray emission towards 13 globular clusters.
Results. Steady point-like high-energy gamma-ray emission has been significantly detected towards 8 globular clusters. Five of them (47 Tucanae, Omega Cen, NGC 6388, Terzan 5, and M 28) show hard spectral power indices (0.7 < Gamma < 1.4) and clear evidence for an exponential cut-off in the range 1.0-2.6 GeV, which is the characteristic signature of magnetospheric emission from MSPs. Three of them (M 62, NGC 6440 and NGC 6652) also show hard spectral indices (1.0 < Gamma < 1.7), however the presence of an exponential cut-off can not be unambiguously established. Three of them (Omega Cen, NGC 6388, NGC 6652) have no known radio or X-ray MSPs yet still exhibit MSP spectral properties. From the observed gamma-ray luminosities, we estimate the total number of MSPs that is expected to be present in these globular clusters. We show that our estimates of the MSP population correlate with the stellar encounter rate and we estimate 2600-4700 MSPs in Galactic globular clusters, commensurate with previous estimates.
Conclusions. The observation of high-energy gamma-ray emission from globular clusters thus provides a reliable independent method to assess their millisecond pulsar populations.

AB We report the discovery of eight gamma-ray pulsars in blind frequency searches of similar to 650 source positions using the Large Area Telescope (LAT), on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. We present the timing models, light curves, and detailed spectral parameters of the new pulsars. PSRs J1023-5746, J1044-5737, J1413-5205, J1429-5911, and J1954+2836 are young (tau(c) < 100 kyr), energetic ((E) over dot greater than or similar to 10(36) erg s(-1)), and located within the Galactic plane (vertical bar b vertical bar < 3 degrees). The remaining three pulsars, PSRs J1846+0919, J1957+5033, and J2055+25, are less energetic, and located off the plane. Five pulsars are associated with sources included in the Fermi-LAT bright gamma-ray source list, but only one, PSR J1413-6205, is clearly associated with an EGRET source. PSR J1023-5746 has the smallest characteristic age (tau(c) = 4.6 kyr) and is the most energetic ((E) over dot = 1.1 x 10(37) erg s(-1)) of all gamma-ray pulsars discovered so far in blind searches. By analyzing > 100 ks of publicly available archival Chandra X-ray data, we have identified the likely counterpart of PSR J1023-5746 as a faint, highly absorbed source, CXOU J102302.8-574606. The large X-ray absorption indicates that this could be among the most distant gamma-ray pulsars detected so far. PSR J1023-5746 is positionally coincident with the TeV source HESS J1023-575, located near the young stellar cluster Westerlund 2, while PSR J1954+2836 is coincident with a 4.3 sigma excess reported by Milagro at a median energy of 35 TeV. PSRs J1957+5033 and J2055+25 have the largest characteristic ages (tau(c) similar to 1 Myr) and are the least energetic ((E) over dot similar to 5 x 10(33) erg s(-1)) of the newly discovered pulsars. We used recent XMM observations to identify the counterpart of PSR J2055+25 as XMMU J205549.4+253959. Deep radio follow-up observations of the eight pulsars resulted in no detections of pulsations and upper limits comparable to the faintest known radio pulsars, indicating that these pulsars can be included among the growing population of radio-quiet pulsars in our Galaxy being uncovered by the LAT, and currently numbering more than 20.

TI PROPERTIES OF A POLAR CORONAL HOLE DURING THE SOLAR MINIMUM IN 2007

AB We report measurements of a polar coronal hole during the recent solar minimum using the Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer on Hinode. Five observations are analyzed that span the polar coronal hole from the central meridian to the boundary with the quiet-Sun corona. We study the observations above the solar limb in the height range of 1.03-1.20R(circle dot). The electron temperature T-e and emission measure (EM) are found using a geometric mean emission measure method. The EM derived from the elements Fe, Si, S, and Al are compared in order to measure relative coronal-to-photospheric abundance enhancement factors. We also studied the ion temperature T-i and the non-thermal velocity v(nt) using the line profiles. All these measurements are compared to polar coronal hole observations from the previous (1996-1997) solar minimum and to model predictions for relative abundances. There are many similarities in the physical properties of the polar coronal holes between the two minima at these low heights. We find that the electron density, T-e, and Ti are comparable in both minima. T-e shows a comparable gradient with height. Both minima show a decreasing Ti with increasing charge-to-mass ratio q/M. A previously observed upturn of Ti for ions above q/M > 0.25 was not found here. We also compared relative coronal-to-photospheric elemental abundance enhancement factors for a number of elements. These ratios were similar to 1 for both the low first ionization potential (FIP) elements Si and Al and the marginally high FIP element S relative to the low FIP element Fe, as is expected based on earlier observations and models for a polar coronal hole. These results are consistent with no FIP effect in a polar coronal hole.

TI DISCOVERY AND ROSSITER-McLAUGHLIN EFFECT OF EXOPLANET KEPLER-8b

AB We report on the discovery and the Rossiter-McLaughlin (R-M) effect of Kepler-8b, a transiting planet identified by the NASA Kepler Mission. Kepler photometry and Keck-HIRES radial velocities yield the radius and mass of the planet around this F8IV subgiant host star. The planet has a radius R(P) = 1.419 R(J) and a mass M(P) = 0.60 M(J), yielding a density of 0.26 g cm(-3), one of the lowest planetary densities known. The orbital period is P = 3.523 days and the orbital semimajor axis is 0.0483(-0.0012)(+0.0006) AU. The star has a large rotational v sin i of 10.5 +/- 0.7 kms(-1) and is relatively faint (V approximate to 13.89 mag); both properties are deleterious to precise Doppler measurements. The velocities are indeed noisy, with scatter of 30 ms(-1), but exhibit a period and phase that are consistent with those implied by transit photometry. We securely detect the R-M effect, confirming the planet's existence and establishing its orbit as prograde. We measure an inclination between the projected planetary orbital axis and the projected stellar rotation axis of lambda = -26 degrees.4 +/- 10 degrees.1, indicating a significant inclination of the planetary orbit. R-M measurements of a large sample of transiting planets from Kepler will provide a statistically robust measure of the true distribution of spin-orbit orientations for hot Jupiters around F and early G stars.

AB Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope measurements of spectra, variability timescales, and maximum photon energies give lower limits to the apparent jet powers and, through gamma gamma opacity arguments, the bulk Lorentz factors of relativistic jets. The maximum cosmic-ray particle energy is limited by these two quantities in Fermi acceleration scenarios. Recent data are used to constrain the maximum energies of cosmic-ray protons and Fe nuclei accelerated in colliding shells of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and blazars. The Fermi results indicate that Fe rather than protons are more likely to be accelerated to ultra-high energies in active galactic nuclei (AGNs), whereas powerful GRBs can accelerate both protons and Fe to greater than or similar to 10(20) eV. Emissivity of nonthermal radiation from radio galaxies and blazars is estimated from the First Fermi AGN Catalog, and shown to favor BL Lac objects and FR1 radio galaxies over flat spectrum radio quasars, FR2 radio galaxies, and long-duration GRBs as the sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays.

DE Sun: activity; Sun: corona; Sun: coronal mass ejections (CMEs)
ID ACCELERATION; EVOLUTION; CMES
AB The study of fast, eruptive events in the low solar corona is one of the science objectives of the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) imagers on the recently launched Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which take full disk images in 10 wavelengths with arcsecond resolution and 12 s cadence. We study with AIA the formation of an impulsive coronal mass ejection (CME) which occurred on 2010 June 13 and was associated with an M1.0 class flare. Specifically, we analyze the formation of the CME EUV bubble and its initial dynamics and thermal evolution in the low corona using AIA images in three wavelengths (171 angstrom, 193 angstrom, and 211 angstrom). We derive the first ultra-high cadence measurements of the temporal evolution of the CME bubble aspect ratio (=bubble height/bubble radius). Our main result is that the CME formation undergoes three phases: it starts with a slow self-similar expansion followed by a fast but short-lived (similar to 70 s) period of strong lateral overexpansion which essentially creates the CME. Then the CME undergoes another phase of self-similar expansion until it exits the AIA field of view. During the studied interval, the CME height-time profile shows a strong, short-lived, acceleration followed by deceleration. The lateral overexpansion phase coincides with the deceleration phase. The impulsive flare heating and CME acceleration are closely coupled. However, the lateral overexpansion of the CME occurs during the declining phase and is therefore not linked to flare reconnection. In addition, the multi-thermal analysis of the bubble does not show significant evidence of temperature change.

SO BIOINSPIRATION & BIOMIMETICS
LA English
DT Article
ID SPEEDS; FLIGHT; FOILS
AB The common guillemot, Uria aalge, a member of the auk family of seabirds exhibits locomotive capabilities in both aerial and aquatic substrates. Simplistic forms of this ability have yet to be achieved by robotic vehicle designs and offer significant potential as inspiration for future concept designs. In this investigation, we initially investigate the power requirements of the guillemot associated with different modes of locomotion, empirically determining the saving associated with the retraction of the wing during aquatic operations. A numerical model of a morphing wing is then created to allow power requirements to be determined for different wing orientations, taking into account the complex kinematic and inertial dynamics associated with the motion. Validation of the numerical model is achieved by comparisons with the actual behaviour of the guillemot, which is done by considering specific mission tasks, where by the optimal solutions are found utilizing an evolutionary algorithm, which are found to be in close agreement with the biological case.

TI STATE OF THE CALIFORNIA CURRENT 2009-2010: REGIONAL VARIATION PERSISTS
THROUGH TRANSITION FROM LA NINA TO EL NINO (AND BACK?)
SO CALIFORNIA COOPERATIVE OCEANIC FISHERIES INVESTIGATIONS REPORTS
LA English
DT Article
AB This report summarizes observations of the California Current System (CCS) from Baja California, Mexico to Oregon for the period from spring 2009 through spring 2010. During this period, changes in the state of the CCS reflected a transition from cool La Nina conditions into and through a short-lived, relatively weak El Nino event. Weaker than normal upwelling and several extended relaxation events contributed to warming over much of the CCS during summer 2009, especially in the north. Moderation of La Nina conditions in the CCS coincided with the development of El Nino conditions in the equatorial Pacific, yet manifested well in advance of any evidence for direct effects of El Nino on the CCS. Responses to El Nino in fall 2009 and winter 2009-2010 appear to have varied substantially with latitude: conditions off southern California returned to near climatological values with the decline of La Nina, and did not indicate any subsequent response to El Nino, yet the northern CCS warmed subtantially following the decline of La Nina and was strongly affected by intense downwelling during winter 2009-2010. The 2009-2010 El Nino diminished rapidly in early 2010, and upwelling off central and southern California resumed unusually early and strongly for a spring following an El Nino, but recovery from El Nino in early 2010 appears to be less robust in the northern CCS. Thus, despite dynamic changes in the overall state of the California Current, 2009-2010 continued the recent pattern of strong regional variability across the CCS.

AB BACKGROUND & AIMS: Patients with esophageal high-grade dysplasia or mucosal esophageal cancer can be successfully treated by endoscopy. We performed a systematic review of the literature to determine whether endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) correctly predicts the T-stage of early esophageal cancers, compared with pathology specimens obtained by using endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or surgery. METHODS: Standard systematic review methods were used to perform reference searches, determine eligibility, abstract data, and analyze data. When possible, individual patient-level data were abstracted, in addition to publication-level aggregate data. RESULTS: Twelve studies had sufficient information to abstract and review for quality; 8 had individual patient-level data (n = 132). Compared with surgical or EMR pathology staging, EUS had T-stage concordance of 65%, including all studies (n = 12), but only 56% concordance when limited to individual patient-level data. Factors such as initial biopsy pathology (high-grade dysplasia vs early-stage cancer) did not appear to affect the concordance of staging between EUS and EMR/surgical staging. CONCLUSIONS: EUS is not sufficiently accurate in determining the T-stage of high-grade dysplasias or superficial adenocarcinomas; other means of staging, such as EMR, should be used.

AB Background and objectives: Variation in kidney transplant access across the United States may motivate relocation of patients with ability to travel to better-supplied areas.
Design, setting, participants, & measurements: We examined national transplant registry and U.S. Census data for kidney transplant candidates listed in 1999 to 2009 with a reported residential zip code (n = 203,267). Cox's regression was used to assess associations of socioeconomic status (SES), distance from residence to transplant center, and relocation to a different donation service area (DSA) with transplant access and outcomes.
Results: Patients in the highest SES quartile had increased access to transplant compared with those with lowest SES, driven strongly by 76% higher likelihood of living donor transplantation (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.76, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.70 to 1.83). Waitlist death was reduced in high compared with low SES candidates (aHR 0.86, 95% CI 0.84 to 0.89). High SES patients also experienced lower mortality after living and deceased donor transplant. Patients living farther from the transplant center had reduced access to deceased donor transplant and increased risk of post-transplant death. Inter-DSA travel was associated with a dramatic increase in deceased donor transplant access (HR 1.94, 95% CI 1.88 to 2.00) and was predicted by high SES, white race, and longer deceased-donor allograft waiting time in initial DSA.
Conclusions: Ongoing disparities exist in kidney transplantation access and outcomes on the basis of geography and SES despite near-universal insurance coverage under Medicare. Inter-DSA travel improves access and is more common among high SES candidates. Clin J Am Soc Nephrol 5: 2276-2288, 2010 doi: 10.2215/CJN.04940610

TI Oxygen saturation is not clinically useful in the exclusion of bacterial

SO EMERGENCY MEDICINE JOURNAL

DT Article
ID CHILDREN; MANAGEMENT; SYMPTOMS; SIGNS; FEVER; AGE
AB Background Acute respiratory infection remains a common presentation to Emergency Departments. Oxygen saturations (Sao(2)) may be useful in determining which febrile infants require chest x-rays (CXR) in investigation for bacterial pneumonia (PNA). This study aimed to determine whether Sao(2) is clinically useful in excluding bacterial PNA in febrile infants <24 months.
Methods A febrile infant registry was instituted at a tertiary care military hospital (55 000 annual patients, 27% children) from December 2002-December 2003. Eligible patients consisted of infants <3 months with temperature >= 38 degrees C or 3-24 months with temperature >= 39 degrees C. Bacterial PNA was defined in this cohort by a CXR revealing a 'lobar infiltrate' by a board-certified radiologist. Descriptive statistics are presented on groups who received CXR versus groups who did not, and on infants who had bacterial PNA versus those who did not. Student t tests were used to compare maximum temperature (Tmax), RR, and Sao(2). Logistic regression for PNA was performed using age, sex, Tmax, RR, HR and Sao(2). A Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curve was created to show Sao(2) cut-off points as related to sensitivity and specificity.
Results 985 patients (55% boys; median age: 12 months) met entry criteria. 790 underwent CXR and 82 were diagnosed with bacterial PNA. Sao(2) was lower in infants with bacterial PNA (96.6% +/- 2.5% vs 97.7% +/- 1.8%, p<0.001). Sao(2) was also predictive of bacterial PNA by logistic regression (p=0.017) but the ROC curve yielded a poor sensitivity/specificity profile (area under curve (AUC) of 0.6786).
Conclusions In febrile infants, Sao(2) was not found to be clinically useful for excluding bacterial PNA.

AB Ion-exchange resins in dynamic seawater and model bicarbonate systems were studied to determine their feasibility and practicality for extracting large quantities of carbon dioxide from seawater for use as a carbon feedstock for fuel synthesis. The capacity and selectivity of both a strong acid cation-exchange resin and a strong base anion-exchange resin revealed that the cation-exchange resin total carbon dioxide recovery (0.32 mg/g of resin) was far superior to the anion-exchange capacity (0.07 mg/g of resin). In addition, the ease of regeneration of the cation-exchange resin was demonstrated using deionized water as a possible substitute for strong acids. The laboratory-scale data are used to estimate the full industrial-scale feasibility of a carbon-capture process by these approaches.

DT Article
DE Formal specification; Refinement; Composition; Proof rules;

ID SPECIFICATIONS; REQUIREMENTS
AB This article introduces a new model-based method for incrementally constructing critical systems and illustrates its application to the development of fault-tolerant systems. The method relies on a special form of composition to combine software components and a set of proof rules to obtain high confidence of the correctness of the composed system. As in conventional component-based software development, two (or more) components are combined, but in contrast to many component-based approaches used in practice, which combine components consisting of code, our method combines components represented as state machine models. In the first phase of the method, a model is developed of the normal system behavior, and system properties are shown to hold in the model. In the second phase, a model of the required fault-handling behavior is developed and "or-composed" with the original system model to create a fault-tolerant extension which is, by construction, "fully faithful" (every execution possible in the normal system is possible in the fault-tolerant system). To model the fault-handling behavior, the set of states of the normal system model is extended through new state variables and new ranges for some existing state variables, and new fault-handling transitions are defined. Once constructed, the fault-tolerant extension is shown, using a set of property inheritance and compositional proof rules, to satisfy both the overall system properties, typically weakened, and selected fault-tolerance properties. These rules can often be used to verify the properties automatically. To provide a formal foundation for the method, formal notions of or-composition, partial refinement, fault-tolerant extension, and full faithfulness are introduced. To demonstrate and validate the method, we describe its application to a real-world, fault-tolerant avionics system.

TI On Optimal SINR-Based Scheduling in Multihop Wireless Networks

LA English
DT Article
DE Joint scheduling and routing; minimum-length scheduling; multihop
wireless networks; optimization; spatial-TDMA
AB In this paper, we revisit the problem of determining the minimum-length schedule that satisfies certain traffic demands in a wireless network. Traditional approaches for the determination of minimum-length schedules are based on a collision channel model, in which neighboring transmissions cause destructive interference if and only if they are within the "interference region" of the receiving nodes. By contrast, we adopt here a more realistic model for the physical layer by requiring that a threshold be exceeded by the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) for a transmission to be successful. We present a novel formulation of the problem that incorporates various power and rate adaptation schemes while seamlessly integrating the generation of "matchings" (i.e., sets of links that can be activated simultaneously) by taking into consideration the SINR constraints at the receivers. For the formulated problem, we propose a column-generation-based solution method and show that it theoretically converges to a globally optimal solution, with a potential advantage of not having to enumerate all the feasible matchings a priori. We also discuss the influence of power control, spatial reuse, and variable transmission rates on network performance. Furthermore, we include aspects of the routing problem and provide computational results for our proposed column-generation-based solution procedure.

ID DISPUTED FEDERALIST-PAPERS; AUTHORSHIP
AB This paper presents a novel solution to the problem of determining the ownership of carved information found on disk drives and other storage media that have been used by more than one person. When a computer is subject to forensic examination, information may be found that cannot be readily ascribed to a specific user. Such information is typically not located in a specific file or directory, but is found through file carving, which recovers data from unallocated disk sectors. Because the data is carved, it does not have associated file system metadata, and its owner cannot be readily ascertained. The technique presented in this paper starts by automatically recovering both file system metadata as well as extended metadata embedded in files (for instance, embedded timestamps) directly from a disk image. This metadata is then used to find exemplars and to create a machine learning classifier that can be used to ascertain the likely owner of the carved data. The resulting classifier is well suited for use in a legal setting since the accuracy can be easily verified using cross-validation. Our technique also results in a classifier that is easily validated by manual inspection. We report results of the technique applied to both specific hard drive data created in our laboratory and multiuser drives that we acquired on the secondary market. We also present a tool set that automatically creates the classifier and performs validation.

AB The fabrication, characterization, and radiation response of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) thin-film field effect transistors (SWCNT-TFTs) has been performed. SWCNT-TFTs were fabricated on SiO2-Si substrates from 98% pure semiconducting SWCNTs separated by density gradient ultracentrifugation. Optical and Raman characterization, in concert with measured drain current I-on/I-off ratios, up to 10(4), confirmed the high enrichment of semiconducting-SWCNTs. Total ionizing dose (TID) effects, up to 10 MRads, were measured in situ for a SWCNT-TFT under static vacuum. The results revealed a lateral translation of the SWCNT-TFT transfer characteristics to negative gate bias resulting from hole trapping within the SiO2 and SiO2-SWCNT interface. Additional TID exposure conducted in air on the same device had the opposite effect, shifting the transfer characteristics to higher gate voltage, and increasing the channel conductance. No significant change was observed in the device mobility or the SWCNT Raman spectra following a TID exposure of 10 Mrad(Si), indicating extrinsic factors dominate the transfer characteristics in the SWCNT-TFT devices during irradiation. The extrinsic effects of charge trapping and the role that gas adsorption plays in the radiation response are discussed.

AB We investigate the dependence of the single-event response of AlSb/InAs HEMTs on details of the doping, layer thicknesses, and contamination levels. The transconductance depends on the Delta-doping and layer thickness, which are shown to have the maximum impact on charge collection when the device is biased near the pinch-off voltage. In the on condition (near zero gate bias), the effect is minimal. The possible role of carbon contamination near the substrate-buffer heterointerface in reducing some of the longer transients is discussed.

AB A theory of the circuit-based response to SET phenomena in resonant tank oscillators is presented. Transients are shown to be caused by a change in the voltage state of the circuit's characteristic differential equation. The SET amplitude and phase response is derived for arbitrary strike waveforms and shown to be time-variant based on the strike time relative to the period of oscillation. Measurements in the time-domain are used to support the theory, while the frequency-domain is used to gauge potential impact on system performance. A design-oriented analysis of the relevant trade-offs is also presented.

AB We investigate the single-event transient (SET) response of T-body and notched-body contacted MOSFETs from a commercial 45 nm SOI RF-CMOS technology. Although body-contacted devices suffer from reduced RF performance compared to floating body devices, previous work on 65 nm and 90 nm MOSFETs has shown that the presence of a body-contact significantly mitigates the total ionizing dose (TID) sensitivity that is exhibited in floating-body SOI MOSFETs. The influence of body-contacting schemes on the single-event effect (SEE) sensitivity is examined here through time-resolved measurements of laser and microbeam-induced transients from T-body and notched-body MOSFETs. Laser-induced transients demonstrate the reduced SEE sensitivity of the notched-body MOSFETs as compared to the T-body MOSFETs; this is evidenced by a uniform reduction in the peak transient magnitudes and collected charge for transients captured at the worst-case bias of V-DS = 1.0 V, as well as with all terminals grounded. Microbeam-induced transient data are also presented to support the validity of the laser-induced transient data. Together, these data provide new insight into the RF versus TID versus SEE tradeoffs associated with body contacting schemes in nm-scale MOSFETs, an important concern for emerging space-based electronics applications.

AB A novel circuit design for separating single-event transients due to N-hits and P-hits is described. Measurement results obtained from a 65 nm technology using heavy-ions show different dominant mechanisms for charge collection for P-hits and N-hits. The data collected represent the first such separation of SET pulse widths for 65 nm bulk CMOS technology. For low LET particles, N-hit transients are longer, but for high LET particles, P-hit transients are longer. N-well depth and the parasitic bipolar effect are shown to be the most important parameters affecting transient pulse widths.

AB The quality of service of a network performing cooperative track detection is represented by the probability of obtaining multiple elementary detections over time along a target track. Recently, two different lines of research, namely, distributed-search theory and geometric transversals, have been used in the literature for deriving the probability of track detection as a function of random and deterministic sensors' positions, respectively. In this paper, we prove that these two approaches are equivalent under the same problem formulation. Also, we present a new performance function that is derived by extending the geometric-transversal approach to the case of random sensors' positions using Poisson flats. As a result, a unified approach for addressing track detection in both deterministic and probabilistic sensor networks is obtained. The new performance function is validated through numerical simulations and is shown to bring about considerable computational savings for both deterministic and probabilistic sensor networks.

TI Synthesis of mesoscale numerical weather prediction and empirical
site-specific radar clutter models
SO IET RADAR SONAR AND NAVIGATION
LA English
DT Article
AB A littoral clutter modelling approach that derives three-dimensional refractivity profiles from mesoscale numerical weather prediction (MSNWP), applies them to parabolic equation (PE) propagation models, and combines them with empirical surface clutter reflectivity models to generate a more realistic model of surface clutter, is described. The MSNWP model is COAMPS (R), coupled atmospheric mesoscale numerical prediction system. This study updates a paper for the IEEE Radar Conference in 2008: overwater discrete clutter, oil rigs, have been added to the model; new model comparisons with recorded data have been executed; and an evaporative duct model was appended below the refractivity profiles Burk et al. developed the approach presented here (i.e. COAMPS (R) provides atmospheric data for propagation models, which in turn provide data for clutter models). The current work advances this technology into the littorals. It has been tested over many cases of atmospheric conditions in several geographic areas. This synthesis of MSNWP and radar clutter models can provide clutter and propagation forecasts for military planners, retroactive prediction of propagation for clutter test data analysis and realistic models for radar system design and performance analysis.

AB There is a growing need to accurately assess exercise energy expenditure (EEE) in athletic populations that may be at risk for health disorders because of an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. The Actiheart combines heart rate and uniaxial accelerometry to estimate energy expenditure above rest. The authors' purpose was to determine the utility of the Actiheart for predicting EEE in female adolescent runners (N = 39, age 15.7 +/- 1.1 yr). EEE was measured by indirect calorimetry and predicted by the Actiheart during three 8-min stages of treadmill running at individualized velocities corresponding to each runner's training, including recovery, tempo, and 5-km-race pace. Repeated-measures ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc comparisons across the 3 running stages indicated that the Actiheart was sensitive to changes in intensity (p < .01), but accelerometer output tended to plateau at race pace. Pairwise comparisons of the mean difference between Actiheart- and criterion-measured EEE yielded values of 0.0436, 0.0539, and 0.0753 kcal . kg(-1) min(-1) during recovery, tempo, and race pace, respectively (p < .0001). Bland Altman plots indicated that the Actiheart consistently underestimated EEE except in 1 runner's recovery bout. A linear mixed-model regression analysis with height as a covariate provided an improved EEE prediction model, with the overall standard error of the estimate for the 3 speeds reduced to 0.0101 kcal . kg(-1) . min(-1). Using the manufacturer's equation that combines heart rate and uniaxial motion, the Actiheart may have limited use in accurately assessing EEE, and therefore energy availability, in young, female competitive runners.

AB In this study four mesoscale forecasting systems were used to investigate the four-dimensional structure of atmospheric refractivity and ducting layers that occur within evolving synoptic conditions over the eastern seaboard of the United States. The aim of this study was to identify the most important components of forecasting systems that contribute to refractive structures simulated in a littoral environment. Over a 7-day period in April May of 2000 near Wallops Island, Virginia, meteorological parameters at the ocean surface and within the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) were measured to characterize the spatiotemporal variability contributing to ducting. By using traditional statistical metrics to gauge performance, the models were found to generally overpredict MABL moisture, resulting in fewer and weaker ducts than were diagnosed from vertical profile observations. Mesoscale features in ducting were linked to highly resolved sea surface temperature forcing and associated changes in surface stability and to local variations in internal boundary layers that developed during periods of offshore flow. Sensitivity tests that permit greater mesoscale detail to develop on the model grids revealed that initialization of the simulations and the resolution of sea surface temperature analyses were critical factors for accurate predictions of coastal refractivity.

AB Within cumulus cloud fields that develop in conditionally unstable air masses, only a fraction of the cumuli may eventually develop into deep convection. Identifying which of these convective clouds is most likely to generate lightning often starts with little more than a qualitative visual satellite analysis. The goal of this study is to identify the observed satellite infrared (IR) signatures associated with growing cumulus clouds prior to the first lightning strike, or lightning initiation (LI). This study quantifies the behavior of 10 Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-12 (GOES-12) IR fields of interest in the 1 h in advance of LI. A total of 172 lightning-producing storms, which occurred during the 2009 convective season, are manually tracked and studied over four regions: northern Alabama, central Oklahoma, the Kennedy Space Center, and Washington, D.C. Four-dimensional and cloud-to-ground lightning array data provide a total cloud lightning picture (in-cloud, cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-air, and cloud-to-ground) and thus precise LI points for each storm in both time and space. Statistical significance tests are conducted on observed trends for each of the 10 LI fields to determine the unique information each field provides in terms of behavior prior to LI. Eight out of 10 LI fields exhibited useful information at least 15 min in advance of LI, with 35 min being the average. Statistical test; on these eight fields are compared for separate large geographical areas. Median IR temperatures and 3.9-mu m reflectance values are then determined for all 172 events as an outcome, which may be valuable when implementing a LI prediction algorithm into real-time satellite-based systems.

AB In July 2006, an Australian tourist returning from Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), developed acute scrub typhus. Her signs and symptoms included fever, myalgia, headache, rash, and eschar. Orientia tsutsugamushi serology demonstrated a 4-fold rise in antibody titers in paired serum collections (1: 512 to 1: 8,192), with the sera reacting strongest against the Gilliam strain antigen. An Orientia species was isolated by the in vitro culture of the patient's acute blood taken prior to antibiotic treatment. The gene sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene (rrs), partial 56-kDa gene, and the full open reading frame 47-kDa gene was performed, and comparisons of this new Orientia sp. isolate to previously characterized strains demonstrated significant sequence diversity. The closest homology to the rrs sequence of the new Orientia sp. isolate was with three strains of O. tsutsugamushi (Ikeda, Kato, and Karp), with a nucleotide sequence similarity of 98.5%. The closest homology to the 47-kDa gene sequence was with O. tsutsugamushi strain Gilliam, with a nucleotide similarity of 82.3%, while the closest homology to the 56-kDa gene sequence was with O. tsutsugamushi strain TA686, with a nucleotide similarity of 53.1%. The molecular divergence and geographically unique origin lead us to believe that this organism should be considered a novel species. Therefore, we have proposed the name "Orientia chuto," and the prototype strain of this species is strain Dubai, named after the location in which the patient was infected.

AB This article describes our efforts to develop a meso-scale in-plane tiling technique for fiber-reinforced composite laminates. Such a technique expands the design space of the laminate, and the ability to tailor local laminate properties may provide a means, for example, to mitigate stress concentrations that arise in places such as along free edges of the laminate. Preliminary fabrication of tiled laminates produced material with an elastic modulus that is nearly equal to that of continuously reinforced laminates; however, the strength of these first specimens was significantly reduced. Finite element analyses were then performed to characterize the effects of features unique to tiled composite laminates, such as the existence of resin-rich tile-to-tile interfaces, and to explore the effects of relative arrangement of tiles through the thickness of the laminate. This led to a novel composite joint geometry as well as recommendations to minimize strength reduction. Strength retention of laminates fabricated using the new design guidelines was experimentally found to exceed 92% in comparison with the traditional analogs. Finally, we discuss the potential application of composite tiling for the suppression of free-edge delamination.

AB We present a general mathematical model that can be used to improve almost all fragment-based methods for ab initio calculation of total molecular energy. Fragment-based methods of computing total molecular energy mathematically decompose a molecule into smaller fragments, quantum-mechanically compute the energies of single and multiple fragments, and then combine the computed fragment energies in some particular way to compute the total molecular energy. Because the kernel energy method (KEM) is a fragment-based method that has been used with much success on many biological molecules, our model is presented in the context of the KEM in particular. In this generalized model, the total energy is not based on sums of all possible double-, triple-, and quadruple-kernel interactions, but on the interactions of precisely those combinations of kernels that are connected in the mathematical graph that represents the fragmented molecule. This makes it possible to estimate total molecular energy with high accuracy and no superfluous computation and greatly extends the utility of the KEM and other fragment-based methods. We demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of our model by presenting how it has been used on the yeast initiator tRNA molecule, ytRN(i)(Met) (1YFG in the Protein Data Bank), with kernel computations using the Hartree-Fock equations with a limited basis of Gaussian STO-3G type.

DE turbulent boundary layers
ID FRICTION DRAG REDUCTION; INTERMEDIATE REGION; WALL; FLOWS; INTENSITY;

AB Smooth flat-plate turbulent boundary layers (TBLs) have been studied for nearly a century. However, there is a relative dearth of measurements at Reynolds numbers typical of full-scale marine and aerospace transportation systems (Re(theta) = U(e)theta/nu > 10(5), where U(e) = free-stream speed, theta = TBL momentum thickness and nu = kinematic viscosity). This paper presents new experimental results for the TBL that forms on a smooth flat plate at nominal Re(theta) values of 0.5 x 10(5), 1.0 x 10(5) and 1.5 x 10(5). Nominal boundary layer thicknesses (delta) were 80-90 mm, and Karman numbers (delta(+)) were 17 000, 32 000 and 47 000, respectively. The experiments were conducted in the William B. Morgan Large Cavitation Channel on a polished (k(+) < 0.2) flat-plate test model 12.9m long and 3.05 m wide at water flow speeds up to 20 ms(-1). Direct measurements of static pressure and mean wall shear stress were obtained with pressure taps and floating-plate skin friction force balances. The TBL developed a mild favourable pressure gradient that led to a streamwise flow speed increase of similar to 2.5% over the 11 m long test surface, and was consistent with test section sidewall and model surface boundarylayer growth. At each Re(theta), mean streamwise velocity profile pairs, separated by 24 cm, were measured more than 10 m from the model's leading edge using conventional laser Doppler velocimetry. Between these profile pairs, a unique near-wall implementation of particle tracking velocimetry was used to measure the near-wall velocity profile. The composite profile measurements span the wall-normal coordinate range from y(+) < 1 to y > 2 delta. To within experimental uncertainty, the measured mean velocity profiles can be fit using traditional zero-pressure-gradient (ZPG) TBL asymptotics with some modifications for the mild favourable pressure gradient. The fitted profile pairs satisfy the von-Karman momentum integral equation to within 1%. However, the profiles reported here show distinct differences from equivalent ZPG profiles. The near-wall indicator function has more prominent extrema, the log-law constants differ slightly, and the profiles' wake component is less pronounced.

AB Features of light absorption are critical to optical aspects of water quality and in regulating the signal available for remote sensing. Spectral characteristics and spatial patterns of light-absorbing components, and their relationships with optically active constituents, are documented for the Sturgeon River, Keweenaw Bay, and Lake Superior based on analyses of samples collected on two cruises (2006 and 2007, 20 sites). The absorption coefficient, a (m(-1)), is partitioned according to the additive components (a(x)) of colored dissolved organic matter (a(CDOM)), non-algal particles (a(NAP)), phytoplankton (a(phi),), and water itself (a(w): known). The role of minerogenic particles and their iron content in regulating amp is evaluated based on paired measurements by an individual particle analysis technique (Peng et al., 2009), through empirical analyses and Mie theory calculations of absorption by these particles (a(m)). Spectral characteristics of amp and a(phi)) were consistent with those reported for other case 2 (i.e., phytoplankton not dominant) systems. However, the slope values that describe a(CDOM) spectra for the bay and the lake were unusually low, suggesting an atypical composition for the lake's CDOM. The dominant absorbing component in the blue wavelengths was CDOM, representing >= 75% of a at a wavelength of 440 nm at all sites in the 2006 survey. A general gradient in both a(CDOM) and a(NAP) extended from the Sturgeon River, through the bay, into eastern Lake Superior in that survey. Relationships between a(x) and optically active constituents were within the broad ranges reported for other case 2 systems. Minerogenic particles, related to their iron content, are demonstrated to be an important component of a(NAP). (C) 2010 International Association for Great Lakes Research. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB Traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a consequence of exposure to blast is increasingly prevalent in military populations, with the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms mostly unknown. In the present study, we utilized an air-driven shock tube to investigate the effects of blast exposure (120 kPa) on rat brains. Immediately following exposure to blast, neurological function was reduced. BBB permeability was measured using IgG antibody and evaluating its immunoreactivity in the brain. At 3 and 24 hr postexposure, there was a transient significant increase in IgG staining in the cortex. At 3 days postexposure, IgG immunoreactivity returned to control levels. Quantitative immunostaining was employed to determine the temporal course of brain oxidative stress following exposure to blast. Levels of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) were significantly increased at 3 hr postexposure and returned to control levels at 24 hr postexposure. The response of microglia to blast exposure was determined by autoradiographic localization of H-3-PK11195 binding. At 5 days postexposure, increased binding was observed in the contralateral and ipsilateral dentate gyrus. These regions also displayed increased binding at 10 days postexposure; in addition to these regions there was increased binding in the contralateral ventral hippocampus and substantia nigra at this time point. By using antibodies against CD11b/c, microglia morphology characteristic of activated microglia was observed in the hippocampus and substantia nigra of animals exposed to blast. These results indicate that BBB breakdown, oxidative stress, and microglia activation likely play a role in the neuropathology associated with TBI as a result of blast exposure.

AB Pedestrian detection systems are finding their way into many modern "intelligent" vehicles. The body posture could reveal further insight about the pedestrian's intent and her awareness of the oncoming car. This article details the algorithms and implementation of a library for real-time body posture recognition. It requires prior person detection and then calculates overall stance, torso orientation in four increments, and head location and orientation, all based on individual frames. A syntactic post-processing module takes temporal information into account and smoothes the results over time while correcting improbable configurations. We show accuracy and timing measurements for the library and its utilization in a training application.

AB In this work we describe the installation of a real-time, fiber-optic strain monitoring system aboard a US Navy vessel undergoing sea trials The system is lightweight, unintrusive, corrosion resistant, and provides dynamic strain response measurements from direct current (DC) up to 360 Hz Also described are the data acquisition and subsequent analysis The goals of the study were to demonstrate a fiber-optic strain monitoring system under real world conditions and to better understand the source of deck cracking above an area housing mission-critical components The results of the two-day trial indicate that there exist large stresses in the deck plate during normal ship operation Based on the results, it is clear that ship maneuvers, slewing of the radar located on the deck plate, and Insolation-related effects are not the primary source of the observed stress

AB We have used X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Cu K-edge to investigate the electrochemical conversion reaction of 20 nm size 85 wt% CuF2-15 wt% MoO3 nanocomposite under in situ conditions. The nanocomposite was prepared by high energy milling. Upon discharge, the lithiation reaction with the nanocomposite resulted in the formation of nanophase metallic Cu, which is consistent with the conversion of CuF2 into Cu and LiF. Based on XANES and Fourier transforms of EXAFS spectra, we show that the discharge process proceeded via the formation of highly dispersed Cu particles. Based on the coordination number of the first shell of Cu, the average size of the Cu particles was estimated to be in the 1-3 nm range in the fully discharged state. (c) 2010 Elsevier Inc.

AB Study Design: A retrospective cohort study of consecutive type II Odontoid fractures presenting to a Level 1 Regional Model Systems Spinal Cord Injury Center between June 1985 and July 2006.
Objective: To assess trends in management of type II Odontoid fractures presenting to a Level 1 Model Systems Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center over a 20-year period.
Summary of Background Data: Type II Odontoid fracture management is controversial, and a majority of studies have had relatively small cohorts. There is no consensus regarding definitive treatment, particularly in older patients.
Methods: Medical records of 263 consecutive type II Odontoid fractures from June 1985 to July 2006 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were excluded if they had neurologic deficits, nonacute fracture, or ambiguous fracture classification. A cohort of 192 neurologically intact, acute type II odontoid fractures were identified. Admission records were reviewed for age, date of injury, date of admission, date of discharge, mechanism of injury, associated injuries, medical comorbidities, and radiologic findings.
Results: There was a statistically significant increase in the rate of presentation of type II odontoid fractures with time. The average age and medical comorbidities of the patient did not change over time. The probability of operative management markedly increased over time, corresponding to a statistically significant increase in length of hospital stay for patients undergoing surgery. The discharge disposition correlated significantly to both age of the patient and associated injuries.
Conclusions: The number and frequency of type II odontoid fractures compared with other spine injuries seems to be increasing over the last 2 decades, which may be correlated with the increasing number of elderly persons in the population, given that referral patterns have been unchanged at our institution. Prospective outcomes data are needed to better elucidate optimal treatment algorithms from both, an outcomes and cost-efficacy perspective.

TI Auditory masking of a 10 kHz tone with environmental, comodulated, and

DT Article
ID CRITICAL RATIOS; CRITICAL BANDWIDTH; 3 PINNIPEDS; RELEASE; UNDERWATER;
DURATION; PATTERN; BAND
AB The pattern of auditory masking derived from Gaussian noise is often cited and used to predict the detrimental effects of masking noise on marine mammals. However, environmental noise (both anthropogenic and natural) may not always be Gaussian distributed. Some noise sources are highly structured with complex amplitude fluctuations that extend across frequency regions, which are often termed comodulated noise. Recent evidence with bottlenose dolphins using comodulated noise demonstrated a significant release from masking compared to Gaussian maskers of the same bandwidth and pressure spectral density level, a result known as comodulation masking release. The present study demonstrates a pattern of masking where both temporally fluctuating comodulated noise and environmental noise produce lower masked thresholds compared to Gaussian noise of the same spectral density level and bandwidth. Furthermore, a threshold reduction or "masking release" occurred when the environmental noise bandwidth increased beyond a critical band. These results provide further evidence that conventional models of auditory masking using Gaussian maskers (i.e., the power spectrum model) do not fully describe the masking effects that occur in realistic environments.

AB The use of bioassay cages in the efficacy assessment of pesticides, application techniques, and technologies is common practice using numerous cage designs, which vary in both shape and size as well as type of mesh. The objective of this work was to examine various cage shapes and mesh types for their filtration effects on air speed, spray droplet size, and spray volume. Reductions in wind speed and droplet size seen inside the cages were measured by placing cages in a low-speed wind tunnel at air speeds of 0.5 m/sec, 1 m/sec, 2 m/sec, and 4 m/sec and cage face orientations (relative to the air stream) of 0 degrees, 10 degrees, 22.5 degrees, and 45 degrees. Reduction in spray volume inside a select number of cages was also evaluated under similar conditions. Generally, greater air speed reductions were seen at lower external air speeds with overall reductions ranging from 30% to 88%, depending on cage type and tunnel air speed. Cages constructed with screens of lower porosities and smaller cylindrical-shaped cages tended to provide greater resistance to air flow and spray volume. Overall, spray droplet size inside the cages was minimally reduced by 0-10%. There was a 32-100% reduction in concentration of the spray volume applied relative to that recovered inside the bioassay cages, depending on the cage geometry and screening material used. In general, concentration reductions were greatest at lower air speeds and for cages with lower porosity screens. As a result of this work, field researchers involved in assessing the efficacy of vector control applications will have a better understanding of the air speed and spray volume entering insect bioassay cages, relative to the amount applied, resulting in better recommended application techniques and dosage levels.

ID MOSQUITO-CONTROL; CROSS-FLOW
AB A study was conducted to analyze the performance of 3 electrostatic (Electrolon BP2.5 (TM), Spectrum Electrostatic 4010, and Spectrum Electrostatic head on a Stihl 420) and 2 conventional (Buffalo Turbine CSM2 and Stihl 420) sprayers for barrier sprays to suppress an adult mosquito population in an enclosed area. Sprayer characteristics such as charge-mass ratio, air velocity, flow rate, and droplet spectra were measured while spraying water. Dispersion of the spray cloud from these sprayers was determined using coverage on water-sensitive cards at various heights (0.5 m, 1.0 m, 1.5 m, 2.0 m, 2.5 m, and 3.0 m) and depths (I m, 3 m, and 5 m) into the under-forest vegetation while spraying bifenthrin (Talstar (TM) 7.9% AI; FMC Corporation, Philadelphia, PA) at the rate of 21.8 ml/300 m of treated row. The charge-mass ratio data show that Electrostatic head on a Stihl 420 did not impart enough charge to the droplets to be considered as an electrostatic sprayer. In general, the charged spray cloud moved down toward the ground. The Electrolon BP 2.5 had significantly lower spray coverage on cards, indicating lack of spray dispersion. This sprayer had the lowest air velocity and did not have the air capacity needed to deliver droplets close to the target for electrostatic force to affect deposition. The analysis shows that these 2 sprayers are not a suitable choice for barrier sprays on vegetation. The results indicate that the Buffalo Turbine is suitable for barriers wider than 3 m, and the Spectrum 4010 and Stihl 420 are suitable for 1-3-m-wide barriers.

DT Article
DE Evaluation; Planning; Decision making; Urban development; Transportation

ID GROWTH MANAGEMENT; STATES
AB Transportation agencies may review proposed projects that were not examined as part of the long range planning process. Typically, these projects require an immediate response and lack detailed data. This paper describes a methodology to assess such unplanned or "stand-alone" transportation projects and applies it to two case studies: a large development involving several major new highway sections and a pedestrian crossing of a four-lane arterial bisecting residential and commercial areas. The methodology specifies the trade-offs and uncertainties of the proposed stand-alone projects. For example, adding phasing to an existing signal resulted in a lower capital cost, and a lower feasibility of pedestrian use, than constructing an overpass. Yet, neither alternative assures crash risk is minimized because the extent of pedestrian compliance with traffic laws is not known. The outcome is thus a timely clarification of each alternative's advantages which can be compared to existing policies. Limitations are the availability of site-specific knowledge, the willingness to articulate difficult choices that are clarified by this work, and the feasibility of fully considering cumulative impacts. However, by formalizing the analysis of stand-alone projects, the methodology strengthens the link between such incremental decision making and comprehensive long range planning.

AB We test a job ladders theory of career progression within internal labor markets as developed by Lazear and Rosen (1990). The theory argues that gender promotion gaps are due to sorting of men and women into career tracks with different promotion opportunities based on ex ante quit probabilities. Analyzing US federal government employees using a dynamic unobserved panel data model, we find that job assignment is one of the strongest predictors of gender differences in promotion. We also find that women have to jump higher performance hurdles to promote across grades, but, within grades, their promotion probabilities are comparable to those of men. In this organization, women can be found in both fast-and slow-track jobs, based on their promotion history, suggesting that unobserved heterogeneity is revealed to the firm over the worker's career.

AB The structure and mineralogy of corrosion products formed on carbon steel coupons exposed in Duluth Superior Harbor (DSH, USA), were investigated and compared with corrosion products on similar substrata from other locations. Corrosion products in DSH form within a few months each year and are removed by ice scour and reform. The corrosion products formed in DSH are tubercles with an outer surface, an inner shell of magnetite, and a core of iron(III) oxyhydroxides, goethite, and lepidocrocite, in association with stalks produced by bacteria. In general, the tubercles formed in DSH are similar in morphology and mineralogy to corrosion products described for carbon steel and cast iron exposed to treated waters in decades-old drinking water and cooling water systems. DSH tubercles are unique in several structural details. DSH tubercles increase areal coverage of the substratum by consolidation of tubercles. Furthermore, the core material extends into the pit and is an exact replica of the pit profile.

AB Cu and Ag-Cu mixed alloy nanoparticles displayed significant inhibition to HIV-1 replication with limited toxicity to human cells at relatively low concentrations of metal. A previous study (Elechiguerra et al. in J Nanobiotechnol 3:6-16, 2005) suggested a size-specific Ag nanoparticle can be tailored to block or damage the glycoprotein (gp) 120/gp41 spike or, more specifically, the invariant epitope at the gp120 binding site. Two different protocols were employed to test whether nanoparticles block entry of HIV-1, and in both instances the nanoparticles acted at some point other than initial binding. This work shows that Ag, Cu, and Ag-Cu mixed alloy metals display a chemically dependent inactivation of the target virus.

AB Nowhere is it more important to maintain peek mental functioning than in a combat zone. Conditions ranging from pain to head injury to post-traumatic stress disorder can cause impairments in neuropsychological function and place service members at risk. Medications can sometimes help alleviate these problems, but also have the risk of further slowing cognitive function or impairing reaction time. Standard methods of neuropsychological testing are often not available in a combat environment. New technologies are being advanced that can allow portable, computerized neuropsychological testing to be performed at almost any location. We present a case that demonstrates how the use of such handheld technology can assist a military physician in assessing the influence of medication on reaction time and in determining if and when a service member is ready to return to combat.

AB Anisotropic textured surfaces allow water striders to walk on water, butterflies to shed water from their wings and plants to trap insects and pollen. Capturing these natural features in biomimetic surfaces is an active area of research. Here, we report an engineered nanofilm, composed of an array of poly(p-xylylene) nanorods, which demonstrates anisotropic wetting behaviour by means of a pin-release droplet ratchet mechanism. Droplet retention forces in the pin and release directions differ by up to 80 mu N, which is over ten times greater than the values reported for other engineered anisotropic surfaces. The nanofilm provides a microscale smooth surface on which to transport microlitre droplets, and is also relatively easy to synthesize by a bottom-up vapour-phase technique. An accompanying comprehensive model successfully describes the film's anisotropic wetting behaviour as a function of measurable film morphology parameters.

ID SPLIT-RING RESONATORS; REFRACTION; INDEX
AB A laser printing technique was used to fabricate split-ring resonators (SRRs) on Si substrates for terahertz (THz) metamaterials and their resonance behavior evaluated by THz time-domain spectroscopy. The laser-printed Ag SRRs exhibited sharp edge definition and excellent thickness uniformity, which resulted in an electromagnetic response similar to that from identical Au SRR structures prepared by conventional photolithography. These results demonstrate that laser printing is a practical alternative to conventional photolithography for fabricating metamaterial structures at terahertz frequencies, since it allows their design to be easily modified and optimized.

TI Acute Compartment Syndrome of the Foot Following Fixation of a Pilon
Variant Ankle Fracture
SO ORTHOPEDICS

DT Article
AB Acute traumatic compartment syndrome of the foot is a serious potential complication after fractures, crush injuries, or reperfusion injury after vascular repair. Foot compartment syndrome in association with injuries to the ankle is rare. This article presents a case of acute compartment syndrome of the foot following open reduction and internal fixation of an ankle fracture.
A 16-year-old girl presented after sustaining a left ankle injury. Radiographs demonstrated a length-stable posterior and lateral malleolar ankle fracture. Initial treatment consisted of a bulky splint and crutches pending the improvement of her swelling. Over the course of a week, the soft tissue environment of the distal lower extremity improved, and the patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation of both her fibula and distal tibia through 2 approaches. Approximately 2 hours from the completion of surgery, the patient reported worsening pain over the medial aspect of her foot and into her calcaneus. Physical examination of the foot demonstrated a swollen and tense abductor hallicus and heel pad. Posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis pulses were palpable and her sensation was intact throughout her foot.

ID BRAIN-INJURY; HISTORY; PROPHYLAXIS; DYSFUNCTION
AB OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to characterize our clinical population of patients suffering with post-traumatic migraine-associated dizziness (PTMAD) and determine any associations with medical interventions and vestibular testing metrics to help predict response to treatments.
STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective chart review.
SETTING: Tertiary referral center.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The electronic medical records of 83 patients presenting to a tertiary referral center who were given a diagnosis of PTMAD and who had been treated were retrospectively reviewed. General characteristics, clinical treatment, pre- and post-vestibular therapy testing metrics, and success and failure outcomes were assessed. Patients were assigned into responder and nonresponder groups related to their headaches and evaluated at two specific time points. Medication failures and vestibular test metrics were compared to identify and predict clinical outcomes.
RESULTS: Seventy-two of 82 patients (88%) were analyzed at two time points. Use of verapamil, topiramate, gabapentin, amitryptiline, and valproic acid showed no comparative treatment benefit in responders compared to nonresponders (P = 0.294). Findings associated with successful treatments include response to initial medication (P = 0.001), final dynamic gait index (DGI) scores (P = 0.029), final vertical dynamic visual acuity test (DVAT) scores (up, 0.007; down, 0.006), and both final and change in computerized dynamic posturography-sensory organization test (CDP-SOT) scores (P = 0.001, P = 0.032). The antipsychotic quetiapine was specifically associated with outcome failures (P = 0.003).
CONCLUSION: Specific prophylactic antimigraine medications were not associated with improved outcomes in PTMAD patients. Initial clinical responses and vestibular test metrics may guide physicians to predict successful outcomes. Copyright (C) 2010. Published by Mosby, Inc.

DE Lantana camara; poisoning; plant; toxicity
ID ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY; TRADITIONAL MEDICINE
AB OBJECTIVE: We sought to identify characteristics of children with reported ingestion of Lantana camara.
METHODS: We reviewed the California Poison Control System database for all reported pediatric ingestions of L camara for the years 1997-2008. Data collected included age, gender, clinical effects, duration of effects, medical interventions, and outcomes.
RESULTS: There were a total of 641 patients; patient ages ranged from 1 to 16 years, with a mean of 2.5 years. Reported effects included vomiting (n = 30), abdominal pain (n = 8), agitation (n = 6), diarrhea (n = 6), throat/mouth irritation (n = 5), tachycardia (n = 4), drowsiness (n = 3), nausea (n = 2), and mydriasis (n = 1). There was no difference in frequency of symptoms between patients who ingested ripe (15.5% [95% confidence interval: 9.1%-21.8%]) versus unripe (6.0% [95% confidence interval: 0.9%-11.1%]) berries or between patients who ingested berries (10.5% [95% confidence interval: 7.3%-13.8%]) versus other plant parts (7.1% [95% confidence interval: 4.0%-10.3%]). Fifty-one patients (8%) were treated in a health care facility and 2 (0.3%) were admitted. No significant effects and no deaths were recorded.
CONCLUSIONS: Ingestion of L camara (including unripe berries) was not associated with significant toxicity; patients who ingested unripe berries did not exhibit more-frequent or more-severe symptoms than did patients who ingested ripe berries or other plant parts. Most patients displayed no or minimal symptoms. Children with asymptomatic ingestions and those with mild symptoms can be treated at home. Pediatrics 2010;126:e1585-e1588

ID TOTAL VARIATION MINIMIZATION; RESTORATION
AB New imaging capabilities have given rise to higher dimensional image processing. This paper presents a generalization of total variation (Tv) based denoising model with a specific application to three-dimensional flash lidar imagery. The generalization uses a weighted norm, rather than the standard Euclidean measure, that accounts for sampling differences that may exist along different axes. We compare this new method against successive two-dimensional denoising and three-dimensional TV denoising. The results show that denoising with a weighted norm presents much better object recognition for multi-plane objects compared with both of the other methods. Further, it does not blur single plane objects beyond the result obtained with two-dimensional denoising.

AB Background and purpose: Chest wall recurrences of breast cancer are a therapeutic challenge and durable local control is difficult to achieve. Our objective was to determine the local progression free survival (LPFS) and toxicity of thermochemoradiotherapy (ThChRT) for chest wall recurrence.
Methods: Twenty-seven patients received ThChRT for chest wall failure from 2/1995 to 6/2007 and make up this retrospective series. All received concurrent superficial hyperthermia twice weekly (median 8 sessions), chemotherapy (capecitabine in 21, vinorelbine in 2, and paclitaxel in 4), and radiation (median 45 Gy). Patients were followed up every 1.5-3 months and responses were graded with RECIST criteria and toxicities with the NCI CTC v4.0.
Results: Twenty-three (85%) patients were previously irradiated (median 60.4 Gy) and 22 (81%) patients received prior chemotherapy. Median follow-up was 11 months. Complete response (CR) was achieved in 16/20(80%) of patients with follow-up data, and 1 year LPFS was 76%. Overall survival was 23 months for patients with CR, and 5.4 months in patients achieving a partial response (PR) (p = 0.01). Twenty-two patients experienced acute grade 1/2 treatment related toxicities, primarily moist desquamation. Two patients experienced 3rd degree burns; all resolved with conservative measures.
Conclusions: ThChRT offers durable palliation and prolonged LPFS with tolerable acute toxicity, especially if CR is achieved. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved. Radiotherapy and Oncology 97 (2010) 535-540

AB Study Objectives: To determine the associations between deployment in support of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and sleep quantity and quality.
Design: Longitudinal cohort study
Setting: The Millennium Cohort Study survey is administered via a secure website or US mail.
Participants: Data were from 41,225 Millennium Cohort members who completed baseline (2001-2003) and follow-up (2004-2006) surveys. Participants were placed into 1 of 3 exposure groups based on their deployment status at follow-up: nondeployed, survey completed during deployment, or survey completed postdeployment.
Interventions: N/A
Measurements and Results: Study outcomes were self-reported sleep duration and trouble sleeping, defined as having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Adjusted mean sleep duration was significantly shorter among those in the deployed and postdeployment groups compared with those who did not deploy. Additionally, male gender and greater stress were significantly associated with shorter sleep duration. Personnel who completed their survey during deployment or postdeployment were significantly more likely to have trouble sleeping than those who had not deployed. Lower self-reported general health, female gender, and reporting of mental health symptoms at baseline were also significantly associated with increased odds of trouble sleeping.
Conclusions: Deployment significantly influenced sleep quality and quantity in this population though effect size was mediated with statistical modeling that included mental health symptoms. Personnel reporting combat exposures or mental health symptoms had increased odds of trouble sleeping. These findings merit further research to increase understanding of temporal relationships between sleep and mental health outcomes occurring during and after deployment.

AB Study Objectives: The study provided an opportunity to observe sleep patterns in a college-age population attending the United States Military Academy.
Design: This 4-year longitudinal study investigated sleep patterns of cadets. A stratified sample of 80 cadets had sleep patterns monitored using actigraphy for 8 months: one month in both fall and spring academic semesters over a 4-year period.
Setting: Data were collected at the United States Military Academy, West Point, NY.
Participants: Participants were members of the class of 2007 (n similar to 1300) ranging in age from 17 to 22 when entering USMA.
Measurements and Results:A sample of the class (n = 80) wore wrist activity monitors and completed activity logs for one month in fall and spring academic semesters for the 4-year period. On average over the 4 years, cadets slept < 5.5 h on school nights. Cadets napped extensively, perhaps in an attempt to compensate for chronic sleep debt. Cadets slept more during fall than spring semesters. Male and female cadet sleep patterns varied dramatically, with males consistently receiving less sleep than females (similar to 21 m for nighttime sleep and similar to 23 m for daily sleep).
Conclusions: Cadet sleep at USMA is related to academic year, semester, season, sex, school day or weekend, and day of the week. These students suffer from chronic sleep debt. Restrictions imposed by the military academy limit the generalizability of the findings to other college age populations.

AB The use of performance specifications became a key US Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition reform in the 1990s. Gone were the detailed military specifications for parts and materials selection, workmanship, derating, and fault tolerance. Maximum use was to be made of commercial specs. Reliability would be specified only in quantitative terms such as Mean-Time-To-Failure (MTTF) and/or the reliability R(t). However, there are significant differences between commercial and military weapon systems whereby performance specifications might bring in significantly greater mission risk. Reliability data from 1996 to 2000 might be an indicator of negative unintended consequences of the cancellation of military specifications. The acquisition of successful military systems requires a mix of performance and prescriptive reliability requirements that depend on the application, technology maturity, and complexity.

AB TiC1-x N (x) hard coatings present time-dependent tribological behavior with an initial running-in period (500-2000 cycles) marked by an elevated friction coefficient, followed by > 10000 cycles with low-friction and wear at room temperature (RT) in ambient air. The mechanisms behind this behavior are not completely understood. Tribological tests performed at RT and at different relative humidity (RH) levels revealed that a minimum value between 15 and 25% RH is needed to trigger the low-friction regime at a sliding speed of 100 mm s(-1). By in situ observations of transfer film growth, it could be observed that third body material is formed during this running-in period by plowing of the coating and shearing of the removed material. The appearance and thickening of the transfer film marks the beginning of the steady-state low-friction regime where the velocity is accommodated by interfacial sliding. At this stage in the tribological test, the recorded Raman spectra indicated the presence of C-H bonds in the wear track. Use of in situ analytical tools during wear tests provided insights with respect to tribological phenomena that were not available by conventional, post-mortem analysis methods.

AB In North Carolina, reported human cases of tick-borne illness, specifically Rocky Mountain spotted fever, have escalated over the past decade. To determine the relative abundance of vectors and to estimate the risk of acquiring a tick-borne illness in peri-residential landscapes, ticks were collected in Chatham County, a typical Piedmont county and, samples of the ticks were tested for infection with selected bacterial pathogens using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays. Ticks (n = 3746) were collected by flagging vegetation at 26 sites from April to July 2006. The predominant questing tick was Amblyomma americanum (98.5%) with significantly fewer Dermacentor variabilis (1.0%) and Ixodes scapularis (0.5%) collected. Spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae were detected in 68.2% of 1590 A. americanum with 56.4% of the molecular isolates identified as Rickettsia amblyommii, an informally named member of the SFG rickettsiae. Comparatively, smaller numbers of A. americanum contained Ehrlichia chaffeensis (1.8%) and Borrelia lonestari (0.4%). Of 15 I. scapularis nymphs tested, 6 (40%) were positive for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. Seven (19.4%) of 36 adult D. variabilis tested positive for Rickettsia montanensis, 4 (11.1%) were positive for R. amblyommii, and 5 (13.9%) were infected with unidentified species of SFG rickettsiae. The tick population in Chatham County contains a diverse array of microbes, some of which are known or potential pathogens. Highest attack rates would be expected from A. americanum ticks, and highest potential risk of infection with a tick-transmitted agent would be to rickettsial organisms, particularly R. amblyommii. Accordingly, longitudinal eco-epidemiology investigations are needed to determine the public health importance of A. americanum infected with rickettsial organisms.

AB We present calculations of acoustic scattering from an aluminum cylinder near a rough interface computed using the elastodynamic finite integration technique (EFIT) a time-domain numerical method useful for pulse propagation in inhomogeneous fluid-elastic environments These calculations are relevant to the modeling of underwater acoustic scattering by objects near the ocean seafloor in the low-frequency structural-acoustics regime where penetrability of both the object and seafloor are important The generality of the EFIT allows for the inclusion of stratified seafloors with rough interfaces and volume inhomogeneities such as shells or rocks Non-reflecting computational boundaries are implemented using a recursive convolution time-domain form of the perfectly matched layer (PML) The scheme and examples discussed are in two space dimensions for computational simplicity The explicitness of the scheme (unknowns only depend on spatially local values at previous time steps) however allows for straightforward parallelization by decomposing the domain which is efficient for three-dimensional problems We first examine the relationship between source geometry and bottom penetration for grazing angles below the critical angle for a fluid-fluid interface similar to a water-sand interface in the ocean Ensemble averaged bottom penetration is then computed for a statistically rough power-law interface and comparison is made with the flat-interface case The aluminum cylinder is then introduced at variable height relative to the fluid-fluid interface and backscattering is computed for both sub and supercritical incidence angles Separation of interface reverberation and cylinder echo contributions to the total backscatter is made to demonstrate the importance of roughness The EFIT is demonstrated to effectively capture the enhancement of bottom penetration and object backscatter for subcritical incidence angles for a buried object under a rough interface We also consider an example of scattering in the presence of a rough interface and small randomly distributed subsurface inhomogeneities to demonstrate how different environmental factors can influence an echo from an object Published by Elsevier B V

AB A very strong Arctic major sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event occurred in late January 2009. The stratospheric temperature climbed abruptly and the zonal winds reversed direction, completely splitting the polar stratospheric vortex. A hindcast of this event is attempted by using the Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS), which includes the full stratosphere with its top at around 65 km. As Part I of this study, extended-range (3 week) forecast experiments are performed using NOGAPS without the aid of data assimilation. A unified parameterization of orographic drag is designed by combining two parameterization schemes; one by Webster et al., and the other by Kim and Arakawa and Kim and Doyle. With the new unified orographic drag scheme implemented, NOGAPS is able to reproduce the salient features of this Arctic SSW event owing to enhanced planetary wave activity induced by more comprehensive subgrid-scale orographic drag processes. The impact of the SSW on the tropospheric circulation is also investigated in view of the Arctic Oscillation (AO) index, which calculated using 1000-hPa geopotential height. The NOGAPS with upgraded orographic drag physics better simulates the trend of the AO index as verified by the Met Office analysis, demonstrating its improved stratosphere-troposphere coupling. It is argued that the new model is more suitable for forecasting SSW events in the future and can serve as a tool for studying various stratospheric phenomena.

AB Macromolecular crowding in cells is recognized to have a significant impact on biological function, yet quantitative models for its effects are relatively undeveloped. The influence of crowding on protein-protein interactions is of particular interest, since these mediate many processes in the cell, including the self-assembly of larger complexes, recognition, and signaling. We use a residue-level coarse-grained model to investigate the effects of macromolecular crowding on the assembly of protein-protein complexes. Interactions between the proteins are treated using a fully transferable energy function, and interactions of protein residues with the spherical crowders are repulsive. We show that the binding free energy for two protein complexes, ubiquitin/UIM1 and cytochrome c/cytochrome c peroxidase, decreases modestly as the concentration of crowding agents increases. To obtain a quantitative description of the stabilizing effect, we map the aspherical individual proteins and protein complexes onto spheres whose radii are calculated from the crowder-excluded protein volumes. With this correspondence, we find that the change in the binding free energy due to crowding can be quantitatively described by the scaled particle theory model without any fitting parameters. The effects of a mixture of different-size crowders-as would be found in a real cell-are predicted by the same model with an additivity ansatz. We also obtain the remarkable result that crowding increases the fraction of specific complexes at the expense of nonspecific transient encounter complexes in a crowded environment. This result, due to the greater excluded volume of the nonspecific complexes, demonstrates that macromolecular crowding can have subtle functional effects beyond the relative stability of bound and unbound complexes.

AB Ga2O3 nanowires (NWs) incorporated into capacitance-based room temperature gas sensors were functionalized with acetic and pyruvic acid (AC and PA, respectively) with the goal of achieving higher selectivity toward different groups of hydrocarbons. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to determine the geometry of the resulting adsorbate complexes. A bridge-like geometry was observed for adsorbed AC and a mixture of different geometries for PA, some of which had hydrogen-bonded OH groups. In addition, FTIR studies showed evidence of the enolic form of PA adsorbed on the surface. The AC-functionalized NWs showed a significant decrease in response to such common analytes as acetone and nitromethane as well as to triethylamine (TEA). In the case of PA-functionalized NWs, no response was observed to nitromethane, however, the response to TEA increased one order of magnitude compared to the bare NWs. FTIR spectroscopy was used to obtain more insight into the mechanism of interaction of AC- and PA-functionalized NWs with these analytes. This work demonstrates the use of a bifunctional molecule (PA) to modify the response of an oxide sensor in a way that a monofunctional molecule (AC) cannot. A significant result of this work is that the functionalization chemistry does not presume the existence of OH groups on the initial oxide surface. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB We propose using mode locking to enable coherent nonlinear optical effects in inhomogenously broadened spin ensembles. We carry out detailed calculations for quantum dot systems in which increased spin coherence via mode locking has been recently observed [A. Greilich et al., Science 313, 341 (2006); 317, 1896 (2007)]. We show how, in the presence of spin locking, a strong pulse-matching effect occurs, providing a powerful tool for high-bandwidth linear optical processing. We then go on to study "slow light" in this system and show that high-bandwidth pulses can be controllably delayed by a time comparable to the pulse width.

AB We model multiwavelength afterglow data from the short gamma-ray burst (GRB) 090510 using a combined leptonic-hadronic model of synchrotron radiation from an adiabatic blast wave. High-energy, greater than or similar to 100 MeV, emission in our model is dominated by proton-synchrotron radiation, while electron-synchrotron radiation dominates in the X-ray and ultraviolet wavelengths. The collimation-corrected GRB energy, depending on the jet-break time, in this model could be as low as 3 x 1051 erg but two orders of magnitude larger than the absolute gamma-ray energy. We also calculated the opacities for electron-positron pair production by gamma-rays and found that TeV gamma-rays from proton-synchrotron radiation can escape the blast wave at early time, and their detection can provide evidence of a hadronic emission component dominating at high energies.

AB LS I +61 303 is an exceptionally rare example of a high-mass X-ray binary that also exhibits McV-TcV emission, making it one of only a handful of "gamma-ray binaries." Here we present H alpha spectra that show strong variability during the 26.5 day orbital period and over decadal timescales. We detect evidence of a spiral density wave in the Be circumstellar disk over part of the orbit. The H alpha line profile also exhibits a dramatic emission burst shortly before apastron, observed as a redshifted shoulder in the line profile, as the compact source moves almost directly away from the observer. We investigate several possible origins for this red shoulder, including an accretion disk, mass-transfer stream, and a compact pulsar wind nebula that forms via a shock between the Be star's wind and the relativistic pulsar wind.

AB Recent searches by unbiased, wide-field surveys have uncovered a group of extremely luminous optical transients. The initial discoveries of SN 2005ap by the Texas Supernova Search and SCP-06F6 in a deep Hubble pencil beam survey were followed by the Palomar Transient Factory confirmation of host redshifts for other similar transients. The transients share the common properties of high optical luminosities (peak magnitudes similar to -21 to -23), blue colors, and a lack of H or He spectral features. The physical mechanism that produces the luminosity is uncertain, with suggestions ranging from jet-driven explosion to pulsational pair instability. Here, we report the most detailed photometric and spectral coverage of an ultra-bright transient (SN 2010gx) detected in the Pan-STARRS 1 sky survey. In common with other transients in this family, early-time spectra show a blue continuum and prominent broad absorption lines of O II. However, about 25 days after discovery, the spectra developed type Ic supernova features, showing the characteristic broad Fe II and Si II absorption lines. Detailed, post-maximum follow-up may show that all SN 2005ap and SCP-06F6 type transients are linked to supernovae Ic. This poses problems in understanding the physics of the explosions: there is no indication from late-time photometry that the luminosity is powered by (56)Ni, the broad light curves suggest very large ejected masses, and the slow spectral evolution is quite different from typical Ic timescales. The nature of the progenitor stars and the origin of the luminosity are intriguing and open questions.

AB Two conformationally locked versions of L-deoxythreosyl phosphonate nucleosides (2 and 3) were synthesized to investigate the preference of HIV reverse transcriptase for a conformation displaying either a fully diaxial or fully diequatorial disposition of substituents Synthesis of the enantiomeric 4-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)bicyclo[3 1 0]hexan-2-ol carbocyclic nucleoside precursors (diaxially disposed) proceeded straightforwardly from commercially available (1R,4S)-4-hydroxy-2-cyclopent-2-enyl-1-yl acetate employing a hydroxyl-directed Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation that culminated with a Mitsunobu coupling of the purine base For the more complicated 1-(6-amino-9H-punn-9-yl)bicyclo[3 1 0]hexan-3-ol carbocyclic nucleoside precursors (diequatorially disposed), the obligatory linear approach required the syntheses of key 1-aminobicyclo[3 1 0]hexan-3-yl benzoate precursors that were assembled via the amide variant of the Kulinkovich reaction involving the intramolecular cyclopropanation of a substituted delta-vinylamide Completion of the purine ring was achieved by conventional approaches but with much improved yields through the use of a microwave reactor The syntheses of the phosphonates and the corresponding diphosphates were achieved by conventional means None of the diphosphates, which were supposed to act as nucleoside triphosphate mimics, could compete with dATP even when present in a 10-fold excess

AB We present the results of our analysis of cosmic-ray electrons using about 8 x 10(6) electron candidates detected in the first 12 months on-orbit by the Fermi Large Area Telescope. This work extends our previously published cosmic-ray electron spectrum down to 7 GeV, giving a spectral range of approximately 2.5 decades up to 1 TeV. We describe in detail the analysis and its validation using beam-test and on-orbit data. In addition, we describe the spectrum measured via a subset of events selected for the best energy resolution as a cross-check on the measurement using the full event sample. Our electron spectrum can be described with a power law proportional to E-3.08+/-0.05 with no prominent spectral features within systematic uncertainties. Within the limits of our uncertainties, we can accommodate a slight spectral hardening at around 100 GeV and a slight softening above 500 GeV.

TI Searches for cosmic-ray electron anisotropies with the Fermi Large Area
Telescope
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW D
LA English
DT Article
ID ARRIVAL DIRECTIONS; SPECTRUM; MILAGRO; CLUMPS
AB The Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi satellite (Fermi LAT) detected more than 1.6 x 10(6) cosmic-ray electrons/positrons with energies above 60 GeV during its first year of operation. The arrival directions of these events were searched for anisotropies of angular scale extending from similar to 10 degrees up to 90 degrees, and of minimum energy extending from 60 GeV up to 480 GeV. Two independent techniques were used to search for anisotropies, both resulting in null results. Upper limits on the degree of the anisotropy were set that depended on the analyzed energy range and on the anisotropy's angular scale. The upper limits for a dipole anisotropy ranged from similar to 0.5% to similar to 10%.

AB A large meteor entered the atmosphere above northeastern Oregon on 19 February 2008 at 530 PST. Several hundreds of broadband seismic stations in the U.S. Pacific Northwest recorded acoustic-to-seismic coupled signals from this event. The travel times of the first arriving energy are consistent with a terminal explosion source model, suggesting that the large size of the explosion masked any signals associated with a continuous line source along its supersonic trajectory. Several infrasound arrays in North America also recorded this event. Both the seismic and infrasound data have been used to locate the explosion in 3-D space and time. Climatological atmospheric velocity models predict that infrasound signals from sources that occur at mid-northern latitudes in winter are usually ducted to the east due to eastward zonal winds. In this paper, we analyze travel time picks and use 3-D ray tracing to generate synthetic travel times based on various atmospheric models to show that the seismic network data instead reveal a predominant westward propagation direction. A sudden stratospheric warming event that reversed the zonal wind flow explains this westward propagation. The seismic data illuminate in unprecedented spatial detail the range and azimuthal definition of shadow zones out to a range of 500 km, suggesting that dense seismic networks can be used to study infrasound propagation at spatial resolutions that exceed that which can be done with only a handful of globally distributed infrasound arrays.

AB Malaria infections commonly contain multiple genetically distinct variants. Mathematical and animal models suggest that interactions among these variants have a profound impact on the emergence of drug resistance. However, methods currently used for quantifying parasite diversity in individual infections are insensitive to low-abundance variants and are not quantitative for variant population sizes. To more completely describe the in-host complexity and ecology of malaria infections, we used massively parallel pyrosequencing to characterize malaria parasite diversity in the infections of a group of patients. By individually sequencing single strands of DNA in a complex mixture, this technique can quantify uncommon variants in mixed infections. The in-host diversity revealed by this method far exceeded that described by currently recommended genotyping methods, with as many as sixfold more variants per infection. In addition, in paired pre- and posttreatment samples, we show a complex milieu of parasites, including variants likely up-selected and down-selected by drug therapy. As with all surveys of diversity, sampling limitations prevent full discovery and differences in sampling effort can confound comparisons among samples, hosts, and populations. Here, we used ecological approaches of species accumulation curves and capture-recapture to estimate the number of variants we failed to detect in the population, and show that these methods enable comparisons of diversity before and after treatment, as well as between malaria populations. The combination of ecological statistics and massively parallel pyrosequencing provides a powerful tool for studying the evolution of drug resistance and the in-host ecology of malaria infections.

AB There is a vast literature on finding simple roots of nonlinear equations by iterative methods. These methods can be classified by order, by the information used or by efficiency. There are very few optimal methods, that is methods of order 2(m) requiring m + 1 function evaluations per iteration. Here we give a general way to construct such methods by using inverse interpolation and any optimal two-point method. The presented optimal multipoint methods are tested on numerical examples and compared to existing methods of the same order of convergence. Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB A reduced shallow water model under constant, non-zero advection in the infinite channel is considered. High-order (Givoli-Neta) non-reflecting boundary conditions are introduced in various configurations to create a finite computational space and solved using a spectral element formulation with high-order time integration. Numerical examples are used to demonstrate the synergy of using high-order spatial, time, and boundary discretization. We show that by balancing all numerical errors involved, high-order accuracy can be achieved for unbounded domain problems. Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB Effective immunotherapy for type 1 diabetes (T1D) relies on active induction of peripheral tolerance. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) play a critical role in suppressing immune responses in various pathologic settings via multiple mechanisms, including expansion of regulatory T cells (Tregs). In this study, we investigated whether MDSCs could act as APCs to induce expansion of Ag-specific Tregs, suppress T cell proliferation, and prevent autoimmune T1D development. We found that MDSC-mediated expansion of Tregs and T cell suppression required MHC-dependent Ag presentation. A murine T1D model was established in INS-HA/RAG(-/-) mice in which animals received CD4-HA-TCR transgenic T cells via adoptive transfer. We found a significant reduction in the incidence of diabetes in recipients receiving MDSC plus HA, but not OVA peptide, leading to 75% diabetes-free mice among the treated animals. To test further whether MDSCs could prevent diabetes onset in NOD mice, nondiabetic NOD/SCID mice were injected with inflammatory T cells from diabetic NOD mice. MDSCs significantly prevented diabetes onset, and 60% of MDSC-treated mice remained diabetes free. The pancreata of treated mice showed significantly lower levels of lymphocyte infiltration in islet and less insulitis compared with that of the control groups. The protective effects of MDSCs might be mediated by inducing anergy in autoreactive T cells and the development of CD4(+) CD25(+) Foxp3(+) Tregs. Thist study demonstrates a remarkable capacity of transferred MDSCs to downregulate Ag-specific autoimmune responses and prevent diabetes onset, suggesting that MDSCs possess great potential as a novel cell-based tolerogenic therapy in the control of T1D and other autoimmune diseases. The Journal of Immunology, 2010, 185: 5828-5834.

AB Detection of sub-surface optical layers in marine waters has important applications in fisheries management, climate modeling, and decision-based systems related to military operations. Concurrent changes in the magnitude and spatial variability of remote sensing reflectance (R(rs)) ratios and submerged scattering layers were investigated in coastal waters of the northern Gulf of Alaska during summer of 2002 based on high resolution and simultaneous passive (MicroSAS) and active (Fish Lidar Oceanic Experimental, FLOE) optical measurements. Principal Component Analysis revealed that the spatial variability of total lidar backscattering signal (5) between 2.1 and 20 m depth was weakly associated with changes in the inherent optical properties (IOPs) of surface waters. Also based on a 250-m footprint, the vertical attenuation of S was inversely related to the IOPs (Spearman Rank Correlation up to -0.43). Low (arithmetic average and standard deviation) and high (skewness and kurtosis) moments of R(rs)(443)/R(rs)(490) and R(rs)(508)/R(rs)(555) ratios were correlated with vertical changes in total lidar backscattering signal (5) at different locations. This suggests the use of sub-pixel ocean color statistics to infer the spatial distribution of sub-surface scattering layers in coastal waters characterized by stratified conditions, well defined S layers (i.e., magnitude of S maximum comparable to near surface values), and relatively high vertically integrated phytoplankton pigments in the euphotic zone (chlorophyll a concentration >150 mg m(-2)).

TI Air-sea flux of CO2 in the Arctic Ocean, 1998-2003
SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-BIOGEOSCIENCES
LA English
DT Article
AB The Arctic Ocean has experienced an unprecedented reduction in sea ice over the last 3 decades, increasing the potential for greater exchange of gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) between the atmosphere and the upper ocean. The present study utilizes remotely sensed data on distributions of both sea ice and chlorophyll a, together with modeled temperature and salinity fields, to obtain high-resolution basin-scale estimates of the air-sea flux of CO2 (FCO2) in the Arctic Ocean for the years 1998-2003. Concentrations of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) were derived from multiple linear regression relationships with sea surface temperature, salinity, and chlorophyll a. The partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO(2)) in surface waters was computed from DIC and alkalinity, the latter of which varied with salinity. FCO2 was calculated from the air-sea difference in pCO(2) and wind speed. Annual FCO2 was highest in the Atlantic-dominated Greenland and Barents sectors due to their lower sea ice cover, although area-normalized FCO2 in these sectors was low. Only the Siberian sector exhibited a significant increase in annual FCO2 during the time of our study, due to a corresponding increase in ice-free water. Overall, the Arctic Ocean was a net atmospheric sink for CO2, with annual FCO2 averaging 118 +/- 7 Tg C yr(-1) during 1998-2003.

TI Measurement of the Bottom Quark Contribution to Nonphotonic Electron
Production in p plus p Collisions at root s=200 GeV
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID TOMOGRAPHY; MATTER
AB The contribution of B meson decays to nonphotonic electrons, which are mainly produced by the semileptonic decays of heavy-flavor mesons, in p + p collisions at root s = 200 GeV has been measured using azimuthal correlations between nonphotonic electrons and hadrons. The extracted B decay contribution is approximately 50% at a transverse momentum of p(T) >= 5 GeV/c. These measurements constrain the nuclear modification factor for electrons from B and D meson decays. The result indicates that B meson production in heavy ion collisions is also suppressed at high p(T).

AB This paper examines the self-assembly of cyclic beta-tripeptides using density functional theory On the basis of literature precedents, those cyclic. peptides were expected to sell-assemble into cylindrical structures by stacking through backbone-backbone hydrogen bonding Our calculations show that such stacking is energetically favorable. that the. association energy per cyclic peptide decreases (becomes more favorable), and that the overall macrodipole moment of the cylindrical assembly increases with the number or stacked rings, for up to eight rings For a Stucture in which two peptide ring units are joined through a single side chain-side chain covalent linker, the association energy between the two rings is favorable, albeit less so than for the unlinked rings Significantly the association energy in the dimers is only weakly dependent on the length (above a certain minimum) and conformation of the covalent linkers Finally as a plausible tome for controlling assembly/disassembly of nanocylinders, we show that, lot it pair of rings. each beating a single ammo-functionalized side chain, protonation of the amino group results in a strongly positive (unfavorable) association energy between the two rings.

AB A theory of the electronic-structure and excitonic absorption spectra of PbS and PbSe nanowires and nanorods in the framework of a four-band effective-mass model is presented. Calculations conducted for PbSe show that dielectric contrast dramatically strengthens the exciton binding in narrow nanowires and nanorods. However, the self-interaction energies of the electron and hole nearly cancel the Coulomb binding, and as a result the optical absorption spectra are practically unaffected by the strong dielectric contrast between PbSe and the surrounding medium. Measurements of the size-dependent absorption spectra of colloidal PbSe nanorods are also presented. Using room-temperature energy-band parameters extracted from the optical spectra of spherical PbSe nanocrystals, the theory provides good quantitative agreement with the measured spectra.

AB The extragalactic background light (EBL) includes photons with wavelengths from ultraviolet to infrared, which are effective at attenuating gamma rays with energy above similar to 10 GeV during propagation from sources at cosmological distances. This results in a redshift- and energy-dependent attenuation of the gamma-ray flux of extragalactic sources such as blazars and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The Large Area Telescope on board Fermi detects a sample of gamma-ray blazars with redshift up to z similar to 3, and GRBs with redshift up to z similar to 4.3. Using photons above 10 GeV collected by Fermi over more than one year of observations for these sources, we investigate the effect of gamma-ray flux attenuation by the EBL. We place upper limits on the gamma-ray opacity of the universe at various energies and redshifts and compare this with predictions from well-known EBL models. We find that an EBL intensity in the optical-ultraviolet wavelengths as great as predicted by the "baseline" model of Stecker et al. can be ruled out with high confidence.

TI Angular Dependence of the Superconducting Transition Temperature in
Ferromagnet-Superconductor-Ferromagnet Trilayers
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS

DT Article
ID ODD TRIPLET SUPERCONDUCTIVITY
AB The superconducting transition temperature T-c of a ferromagnet (F)-superconductor (S)-ferromagnet trilayer depends on the mutual orientation of the magnetic moments of the F layers. This effect has been previously observed in F/S/F systems as a T-c difference between parallel and antiparallel configurations of the F layers. Here we report measurements of T-c in CuNi/Nb/CuNi trilayers as a function of the angle between the magnetic moments of the CuNi ferromagnets. The observed angular dependence of T-c is in qualitative agreement with a F/S proximity theory that accounts for the odd triplet component of the condensate predicted to arise for noncollinear orientation of the magnetic moments of the F layers.

AB Ethnicity may be associated with the incidence of pneumococcal infections and the frequency of protective vaccine responses. Earlier studies have suggested that HIV-infected persons of black ethnicity develop less robust immune responses to pneumococcal vaccination that may relate to their higher incidence of invasive disease. We evaluated the association of ethnicity with capsule-specific antibody responses to pneumococcal revaccination, with either the pneumococcal conjugate (PCV) or polysaccharide (PPV) vaccines among 188 HIV-infected adults. The proportion of the 77 African Americans (AA) and 111 Caucasians with comparable virologic and immunologic parameters who achieved a positive immune response (>= 2-fold rise in capsule-specific IgG from baseline with post-vaccination value >= 1 mu g/mL for >= 2 of 4 serotypes) at day 60 after revaccination was similar (43% vs. 49%, respectively, p = 0.65). Results were also similar when vaccine types (PPV and PCV) were examined separately. Mean changes in log(10) transformed IgG levels from baseline to days 60 and 180 post-vaccination were also not significantly different between AA and Caucasians. In summary, in this ethnically diverse cohort with equal access to care, we did not observe differential antibody responses between AA and Caucasian HIV-infected adults after pneumococcal revaccination.

AB The collision between a laser generated shock wave and a supersonic flow from a gas jet was studied using pump-probe Schlieren shadowgraphy. The velocity of a gas escaping into vacuum from a high pressure gas jet nozzle was measured and verified in simulation. Time resolved tracking of the shock wave provided critical information about the gas jet vertical velocity and horizontal gas density profile. The measured velocity of the diatomic gas jet was found to be close to the theoretical maximum escape velocity of the gas released into vacuum. Modification of the hemispherical shock wave structure by the supersonic flow was minimal. However, the propagation of the shock wave was observed to be substantially effected by the gas flow.

AB Heterojunctions of p(+) B-doped nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) to n(-) 4H-SiC were studied by electrical and cathodoluminescence (CL) methods. Current rectification at 30 degrees C had a curvature coefficient gamma(0) of 42.1 V(-1) at zero bias, gamma(max) of 105.35 V(-1) at 0.2 V, and a reverse current of <10 nA/cm(2). The NCD sheet resistance decreased from 4.1 x 10(11) to 403.56 Omega/sq. as the carrier density N(s) was increased from 3.5 x 10(5) to 1.5 x 10(16) cm(-2) by B(2)H(6) doping. The 348 cm(2)/V-s mobility of the B-free NCD films was comparable to that of single crystal diamond. CL data revealed traps 0.6-0.8 eV from the NCD EV edge. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.

AB Airborne measurements in regions of varying meteorology and pollution are used to quantify the contribution of organic acids and a mass spectral marker for oxygenated aerosols, m/z 44, to the total organic aerosol budget. Organic acids and m/z 44 separately are shown to exhibit their highest organic mass fractions in the vicinity of clouds. The contribution of such oxygenated species is shown to increase as a function of relative humidity, aerosol hygroscopicity (and decreasing organic mass fraction), and is typically greater off the California coast versus the continental atmospheres studied. Reasons include more efficient chemistry and partitioning of organic acid precursors with increasing water in the reaction medium, and high aqueous-phase processing times in boundary layers with higher cloud volume fractions. These results highlight the importance of secondary organic aerosol formation in both wet aerosols and cloud droplets. Citation: Sorooshian, A., S. M. Murphy, S. Hersey, R. Bahreini, H. Jonsson, R.

DT Article
ID SOLAR BACKSCATTER ULTRAVIOLET; CALIBRATION; SATELLITE; ICE
AB Backscattered ultraviolet (BUV) instruments designed for measuring stratospheric ozone profiles have proven to be robust tools for observing polar mesospheric clouds (PMCs). These measurements are available for more than 30 years and have been used to demonstrate the existence of long-term variations in PMC occurrence frequency and brightness. The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on the EOS Aura satellite provides new and improved capabilities for PMC characterization. OMI uses smaller pixels than previous BUV instruments, which increases its ability to identify PMCs and discern more spatial structure, and its wide cross-track viewing swath provides full polar coverage up to 90 latitude every day in both hemispheres. This cross-track coverage allows the evolution of PMC regions to be followed over several consecutive orbits. Localized PMC variations determined from OMI measurements are consistent with coincident Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet model 2 (SBUV/2) measurements. Nine seasons of PMC observations from OMI are now available and clearly demonstrate the advantages of these measurements for PMC analysis.

AB The adoption of open architecture has several economic implications in the life of an asset, including developmental, production, storage, training and maintenance costs. This research responds to an inquiry by the Program Executive Officer Integrated Weapons System (US Department of the Navy) regarding the value of open architecture (OA) in the design of complex assets. With this intent, we evaluate how the inventory allocation of spare engines for the F-16 operations in the continental United States would be affected with and without the adoption of open architecture, focusing on the benefits of inventory pooling to meet the demand of many users from a small number of storage sites. We use a distance-constrained version of the Ardalan heuristic for solving the facility location problem, responding to practical limitations exposed by the model. This article shows that open architecture may provide substantial supply chain cost reduction, and simplification of the distribution network when combined with proper inventory storage policies.

DE Dimension reduction; POD; Empirical KL analysis; Slow manifold; Singular

ID CHAOS
AB We explore the approximation of attracting manifolds of complex systems using dimension reducing methods. Complex systems having high-dimensional dynamics typically are initially analyzed by exploring techniques to reduce the dimension. Linear techniques, such as Galerkin projection methods, and nonlinear techniques, such as center manifold reduction are just some of the examples used to approximate the manifolds on which the attractors lie. In general, if the manifold is not highly curved, then both linear and nonlinear methods approximate the surface well. However, if the manifold curvature changes significantly with respect to parametric variations, then linear techniques may fail to give an accurate model of the manifold. This may not be a surprise in itself, but it is a fact so often overlooked or misunderstood when utilizing the popular KL method, that we offer this explicit study of the effects and consequences. Here we show that certain dimensions defined by linear methods are highly sensitive when modeled in situations where the attracting manifolds have large parametric curvature. Specifically, we show how manifold curvature mediates the dimension when using a linear basis set as a model. We punctuate our results with the definition of what we call, a "curvature induced parameter," d(cl). Both finite- and infinite-dimensional models are used to illustrate the theory.

AB Information-intensive services (IIS), such as financial services, business services, health care, and education, form a large and growing part of the service sector in the US economy. In this paper we present a classification of IIS based on their operational characteristics. We also propose empirically grounded conceptual analysis and prescriptive frameworks useful for the improvement of certain types of IIS. By conducting statistical analyses of a large sample of claims data from one of the largest property and casualty companies in the United States, we isolate key drivers of service performance and identify preemptive actions that can favorably impact performance metrics. Those results demonstrate the direct operationalization of the proposed frameworks with primary data. Our conceptual analysis, empirical findings, and the prescriptive framework that follow, provide an action plan that can lead to a systemic improvement in the performance of information and customer contact intensive services.

AB Efficient energy transfer at room temperature from Tm3+ to Pr3+ has been demonstrated in co-doped KPb2Cl5. Because of the low phonon energies in KPb2Cl5, the energy transfer processes result in the conversion of 805 nm laser diode pump energy to a broad band of mid-IR radiation between 3500 to 5500 nm. Energy transfer pathways, rates, and quantum efficiencies are evaluated. Results show that the material is suitable as a phosphor for the 4 to 5 mu m spectral range that can be optically pumped with low-cost 0.8 mu m laser diodes. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America

SO ACCIDENT ANALYSIS AND PREVENTION
LA English
DT Article
DE Pedestrian; Autonomous braking; Mitigation effectiveness; Real-life data
AB The objective of this study was to calculate the potential effectiveness of a pedestrian injury mitigation system that autonomously brakes the car prior to impact. The effectiveness was measured by the reduction of fatally and severely injured pedestrians. The database from the German In-Depth Accident Study (GIDAS) was queried for pedestrians hit by the front of cars from 1999 to 2007. Case by case information on vehicle and pedestrian velocities and trajectories were analysed to estimate the field of view needed for a vehicle-based sensor to detect the pedestrians one second prior to the crash. The pre-impact braking system was assumed to activate the brakes one second prior to crash and to provide a braking deceleration up to the limit of the road surface conditions, but never to exceed 0.6 g. New impact speeds were then calculated for pedestrians that would have been detected by the sensor. These calculations assumed that all pedestrians who were within a given field of view but not obstructed by surrounding objects would be detected. The changes in fatality and severe injury risks were quantified using risk curves derived by logistic regression of the accident data. Summing the risks for all pedestrians, relationships between mitigation effectiveness, sensor field of view, braking initiation time, and deceleration were established. The study documents that the effectiveness at reducing fatally (severely) injured pedestrians in frontal collisions with cars reached 40% (27%) at a field of view of 40 degrees. Increasing the field of view further led to only marginal improvements in effectiveness. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB The microstructures and crystallographic textures produced during friction stir welding of the near-alpha Ti-5111 titanium alloy were characterized as a function of welding speed. The textures produced were compared with ideal hexagonal close packed (hcp) shear textures and with predicted textures of hcp Burgers variants of ideal body-centered cubic (bcc) shear textures, showing that the deposited welds are dominated by the hcp P(1) and bcc D(1) textures. The hcp P(1) shear texture was dominant at slow weld speeds, while the bee D(1) shear texture was dominant at the fast weld speed. This variation appears to result from a poor transmission of the shear deformation from the rotating tool to the deposited weld that develops at faster welding speeds. These observations are compared to other studies of friction stir welds in hcp and bcc materials reported in the literature. Published by Elsevier Ltd. on behalf of Acta Materialia Inc.

AB With a view toward developing a rugged microflow cytometer, a sheath flow system was micromachined in hard plastic (polymethylmethacrylate) for analysis of particles and cells using optical detection. Six optical fibers were incorporated into the interrogation region of the chip, in which hydrodynamic focusing narrowed the core stream to similar to 35 mu m x 40 mu m. The use of a relatively large channel at the inlet as well as in the interrogation region (375 mu m x 125 mu m) successfully minimized the risk of clogging. The device could withstand pressures greater than 100 psi without leaking. Assays using both coded microparticles and cells were demonstrated using the microflow cytometer. Multiplexed immunoassays detected nine different bacteria and toxins using a single mixture of coded microspheres. A549 cancer cells processed with locked nucleic acid probes were evaluated using fluorescence in situ hybridization.

ID MESOPLODON-DENSIROSTRIS
AB The detection performance of a towed hydrophone array for deep-diving species is quantified by comparing detections of echolocation clicks from foraging groups of Blainville's beaked whales (Mesoplodon densirostris) from the TNO Delphinus array to detections from bottom-mounted hydrophones at the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC) in the Bahamas. A beaked whale group detection probability of 40% is obtained at close ranges (R < 2000 m) with the Delphinus towed array, and a maximum detection range of 5000 m is measured. The detection function can be explained by models, when taking into account the range in rms source levels (200-220 dB re 1 mu Pa(2) m(2)), and the high system noise levels during the experiment. The model results suggest that detection ranges up to about 7 km are possible under favourable conditions, and demonstrate the effectiveness of using towed arrays to monitor deep-diving species, such as beaked whales.

ID DIVING BEHAVIOR
AB We present a passive acoustic method for estimating the density of echolocating cetaceans that dive synchronously, based on isolation of dive starts using a field of distributed bottom-mounted hydrophones. The method assumes that all dive starts of the target species within a defined area are detected, and that independent estimates of dive rate and group size are available. We apply the method to estimate the density of Blainville's beaked whales (Mesoplodon densirostris) at the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC) in the Bahamas during the time of a multi-ship active sonar exercise. Estimated densities for the 65 h before the exercise, 68 h during, 65 h after, and the final 43 h monitored were 16.99 (95% Cl 13.47-21.43), 4.76(3.78-6.00), 8.67(6.87-10.94), and 24.75 (19.62-31.23) respectively, illustrating a possible avoidance reaction. Results for the 65 h before were compared with those from the click count density estimation algorithm developed by Marques et al. [Marques T, Thomas L, Ward J, DiMarzio N, Tyack P. Estimating cetacean population density using fixed passive acoustic sensors. An example with Blainville's beaked whales. J Acoust Soc Am 2009;125(4):1982-1994]. The click count-based estimate was 19.23 animals/1000 km(2) (95% CI 12.69-29.13)-similar (13% higher), but with higher variance (CV 21% for click count method versus 12% for the dive count method). We discuss potential reasons for the differences, and compare the utility of the two methods. For both, obtaining reliable estimates of the factors that scale the measured quantity (dive starts or detected clicks) to density is the key hurdle. Defining the area monitored in the dive count method can also be problematic, particularly if the array is small. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB The optical constants beta and delta of the complex refractive index (n) over tilde = 1 - delta + i beta of Sm, Ho, and Er were obtained in the 1.5-850 eV energy range using a transmittance method. Thin films of Sm, Ho, and Er were deposited by magnetron sputtering, and transmittance was measured using synchrotron radiation under a high vacuum condition. All films were directly coated on Si photodiodes, which were used as coating substrates, as well as photon detectors. Si was used as capping layer while a thin W layer was used as barrier against interface diffusion between Si and the highly reactive rare earth elements. The constants beta were extracted from transmittance results, and the constants d were calculated based on measured beta values using the Kramers-Kronig formalism. Small deficiencies determined from the present data using the partial sum rules were partly attributed to the sputtered film densities that could be slightly lower than the bulk values.

SO APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS

DT Article
ID CHEMICAL TREATMENT; FIBERS; TRANSPORT; NETWORKS
AB Application of drawing dies to radially densify sheets of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into bulk wires has shown the ability to control electrical conductivity and wire density. Simultaneous use of KAuBr(4) doping solution, during wire drawing, has led to an electrical conductivity in the CNT wire of 1.3 x10(6) S/m. Temperature-dependent electrical measurements show that conduction is dominated by fluctuation-assisted tunneling, and introduction of KAuBr(4) significantly reduces the tunneling barrier between individual nanotubes. Ultimately, the concomitant doping and densification process leads to closer packed CNTs and a reduced charge transfer barrier, resulting in enhanced bulk electrical conductivity.

DT Article
AB Objectives: To describe a cause of recurrent nasal obstructive symptoms after septoplasties including the creation of a sizable submucous window and to suggest treatments for this complication.
Methods: Case report of a woman presenting with side-changing nasal dyspnea approximately 1 year after undergoing septoplasty and engineering analysis of nasal cavity airflow. We created a computer model of the airway, analyzed varying sizes of surgical defects, and optimized the geometry of the submucous window.
Results: An optimum area of resection to maximize the area of cartilage and/or bone resected and to minimize deflection of the septal area of iatrogenic litheness is a rectangular shape approximately 44 mm long by 12 mm high in our model.
Conclusions: A large submucous window can result in obstruction of nasal airflow after septoplasty owing to displacement of this compliant area with respiration under the forces described in the Bernoulli theorem. Treatment may include turbinate reduction and/or septal reconstruction.

AB Empirical studies and surveillance projects increasingly assess and address potentially adverse psychological health outcomes from the stress of military operations, but no standards yet exist for common concept definitions, variable categories, and measures. This article reports the consensus recommendations of the federal interagency Operational Stress Working Group for common data elements to be used in future operational stress research and surveillance with the goal of improving comparability across studies. Operational stress encompasses more than just combat; it occurs everywhere service members and their families live and work. Posttraumatic stress is not the only adverse mental or behavioral health outcome of importance. The Operational Stress Working Group contends that a primary goal of operational stress research and surveillance is to promote prevention of adverse mental and behavioral outcomes, especially by recognizing the preclinical and subclinical states of distress and dysfunction that portend a risk for failure of role performance or future mental disorders. Recommendations for data elements are divided into 3 tiers: core, supplemental, and emerging, including variable domains and specific measures for assessing operational stressor exposures, stress outcomes, moderating factors, and mediating processes. Attention is drawn to the emerging construct of stress injury as a generic term for subclinical operational stress, and to emerging data elements addressing biological, psychological, and spiritual mediators of risk. Methodologies are needed for identifying preclinical and subclinical states of distress or dysfunction that are markers of risk for failure of role performance and future clinical mental disorders, so that targeted prevention interventions can be developed and evaluated.

AB Context. The flux of gamma rays with energies greater than 100 MeV is dominated by diffuse emission coming from cosmic-rays (CRs) illuminating the interstellar medium (ISM) of our Galaxy through the processes of Bremsstrahlung, pion production and decay, and inverse-Compton scattering. The study of this diffuse emission provides insight into the origin and transport of cosmic rays.
Aims. We searched for gamma-ray emission from the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) in order to derive constraints on the cosmic-ray population and transport in an external system with properties different from the Milky Way.
Methods. We analysed the first 17 months of continuous all-sky observations by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) of the Fermi mission to determine the spatial distribution, flux and spectrum of the gamma-ray emission from the SMC. We also used past radio synchrotron observations of the SMC to study the population of CR electrons specifically.
Results. We obtained the first detection of the SMC in high-energy gamma rays, with an integrated >100 MeV flux of (3.7 +/- 0.7) x 10(-8) ph cm(-2) s(-1), with additional systematic uncertainty of <= 16%. The emission is steady and from an extended source similar to 3 degrees in size. It is not clearly correlated with the distribution of massive stars or neutral gas, nor with known pulsars or supernova remnants, but a certain correlation with supergiant shells is observed.
Conclusions. The observed flux implies an upper limit on the average CR nuclei density in the SMC of similar to 15% of the value measured locally in the Milky Way. The population of high-energy pulsars of the SMC may account for a substantial fraction of the gamma-ray flux, which would make the inferred CR nuclei density even lower. The average density of CR electrons derived from radio synchrotron observations is consistent with the same reduction factor but the uncertainties are large. From our current knowledge of the SMC, such a low CR density does not seem to be due to a lower rate of CR injection and rather indicates a smaller CR confinement volume characteristic size.

AB Context. Cosmic rays (CRs) can be studied through the galaxy-wide gamma-ray emission that they generate when propagating in the interstellar medium. The comparison of the diffuse signals from different systems may inform us about the key parameters in CR acceleration and transport.
Aims. We aim to determine and compare the properties of the cosmic-ray-induced gamma-ray emission of several Local Group galaxies.
Methods. We use 2 years of nearly continuous sky-survey observations obtained with the Large Area Telescope aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope to search for gamma-ray emission from M31 and M33. We compare the results with those for the Large Magellanic Cloud, the Small Magellanic Cloud, the Milky Way, and the starburst galaxies M82 and NGC 253.
Results. We detect a gamma-ray signal at 5 sigma significance in the energy range 200 MeV-20 GeV that is consistent with originating from M31. The integral photon flux above 100 MeV amounts to (9.1 +/- 1.9(stat) +/- 1.0(sys)) x 10(-9) ph cm(-2) s(-1). We find no evidence for emission from M33 and derive an upper limit on the photon flux > 100 MeV of 5.1 x 10(-9) ph cm(-2) s(-1) (2 sigma). Comparing these results to the properties of other Local Group galaxies, we find indications of a correlation between star formation rate and gamma-ray luminosity that also holds for the starburst galaxies.
Conclusions. The gamma-ray luminosity of M31 is about half that of the Milky Way, which implies that the ratio between the average CR densities in M31 and the Milky Way amounts to xi = 0.35 +/- 0.25. The observed correlation between gamma-ray luminosity and star formation rate suggests that the flux of M33 is not far below the current upper limit from the LAT observations.

AB Context. Global relationships between the photospheric magnetic flux and the extreme ultraviolet emission integrated over active region area have been studied in a previous paper by Fludra & Ireland (2008, A&A, 483, 609). Spatially integrated EUV line intensities are tightly correlated with the total unsigned magnetic flux, and yet these global power laws have been shown to be insufficient for accurately determining the coronal heating mechanism owing to the mathematical ill-conditioning of the inverse problem.
Aims. Our aim is to establish a relationship between the EUV line intensities and the photospheric magnetic flux density on small spatial scales in active regions and investigate whether it provides a way of identifying the process that heats the coronal loops.
Methods. We compare spatially resolved EUV transition region emission and the photospheric magnetic flux density. This analysis is based on the O V 62.97 nm line recorded by the SOHO Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) and SOHO MDI magnetograms for six solar active regions. The magnetic flux density phi is converted to a simulated O V intensity using a model relationship I(phi, L) = C phi L-delta(lambda), where the loop length L is obtained from potential magnetic field extrapolations. This simulated spatial distribution of O V intensities is convolved with the CDS instrument's point spread function and compared pixel by pixel with the observed O V line intensity. Parameters delta and lambda are derived to give the best fit for the observed and simulated intensities.
Results. Spatially-resolved analysis of the transition region emission reveals the complex nature of the heating processes in active regions. In some active regions, particularly large, local intensity enhancements up to a factor of five are present. When areas with O V intensities above 3000 erg cm(-2) s(-1) sr(-1) are ignored, a power law has been fitted to the relationship between the local O V line intensity and the photospheric magnetic flux density in each active region. The average power index delta from all regions is 0.4 +/- 0.1 and lambda = -0.15 +/- 0.07. However, the scatter of intensities in all regions is significantly greater than +/- 3 sigma from the fitted model. We therefore determine for the first time an empirical lower boundary for the I-OV - phi relationship that is the same for five active regions. We postulate that it represents a basal heating. Because this boundary is present in the spatially-resolved data, this is compelling proof that the magnetic field is one of the major factors contributing to the basal component of the heating of the coronal plasma. We discuss the implications for the diagnostics of the coronal heating mechanism.

AB Aims. A large-scale survey of the Galactic center region in the 3 mm rotational transitions of SiO, HCO+ and (HCO+)-C-13 (beamsize similar to 3'.6) was conducted to provide an estimate of cloud conditions, heating mechanisms, chemistry, and other properties.
Methods. Using the NANTEN 4 m telescope from Nagoya University, a region between -5 degrees.75 < l < 5 degrees.6 and -0 degrees.68 < b < 1 degrees.3 was mapped in the J = 1 -> 0 lines of HCO+ and (HCO+)-C-13 and in the J = 2 -> 1 line of SiO with a spacing of 3'.75 (HCO+) and 1'.875 (SiO and (HCO+)-C-13).
Results. Velocity channel maps, longitude-velocity maps, and latitude-velocity maps are presented. We identify 51 molecular clouds; 33 of them belong to the Galactic center and 18 to disk gas. We derive an average of the luminosity ratio of SiO(J = 2 -> 1)/CO(J = 1 -> 0) in clouds belonging to the Galactic center of 4.9 x 10(-3) and for disk clouds of 3.4 x 10(-3). The luminosity ratio of HCO+(J = 1 -> 0)/CO(J = 1 -> 0) in the Galactic center is 3.5 x 10(-2), and for disk clouds it is 1.5 x 10(-2). We can distinguish clearly between regions where the SiO or HCO+ dominate.

AB Context. The expanding magnetic flux in coronal mass ejections (CMEs) often forms a cavity. Studies of CME cavities have so far been limited to the pre-event configuration to evolved CMEs at great heights, and to two-dimensional imaging data.
Aims. Quantitative analysis of three-dimensional cavity evolution at CME onset can reveal information that is relevant to the genesis of the eruption.
Methods. A spherical model was simultaneously fit to Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUVI) and Inner Coronagraph (COR1) data of an impulsively accelerated CME on 25 March 2008, which displays a well-defined extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and white-light cavity of nearly circular shape already at low heights h approximate to 0.2 R-circle dot. The center height h(t) and radial expansion r(t) of the cavity were obtained in the whole height range of the main acceleration. We interpret them as the axis height and as a quantity proportional to the minor radius of a flux rope.
Results. The three-dimensional expansion of the CME exhibits two phases in the course of its main upward acceleration. From the first h and r data points, taken shortly after the onset of the main acceleration, the erupting flux shows an overexpansion compared to its rise, as expressed by the decrease in the aspect ratio from kappa = h/r approximate to 3 to kappa approximate to (1.5-2). This phase is approximately coincident with the impulsive rise in the acceleration and is followed by a phase of very gradual change in the aspect ratio (a nearly self-similar expansion) toward kappa similar to 2.5 at h similar to 10 R-circle dot. The initial overexpansion of the CME cavity can be caused by flux conservation around a rising flux rope of decreasing axial current and by the addition of flux to a growing, or by even newly formed, flux rope by magnetic reconnection. Further analysis will be required to decide which of these contributions is dominant. The data also suggest that the horizontal component of the impulsive cavity expansion (parallel to the solar surface) triggers the associated EUV wave, which subsequently detaches from the CME volume.

AB Recent measurements have shown that the quiet unstructured solar corona observed at the solar limb is close to isothermal, at a temperature that does not appear to change over wide areas or with time. Some individual active region loop structures have also been found to be nearly isothermal both along their axis and across their cross section. Even a complex active region observed at the solar limb has been found to be composed of three distinct isothermal plasmas. If confirmed, these results would pose formidable challenges to the current theoretical understanding of the thermal structure and heating of the solar corona. For example, no current theoretical model can explain the excess densities and lifetimes of many observed loops if the loops are in fact isothermal. All of these measurements are based on the so-called emission measure (EM) diagnostic technique that is applied to a set of optically thin lines under the assumption of isothermal plasma. It provides simultaneous measurement of both the temperature and EM. In this work, we develop a new method to quantify the uncertainties in the technique and to rigorously assess its ability to discriminate between isothermal and multithermal plasmas. We define a formal measure of the uncertainty in the EM diagnostic technique that can easily be applied to real data. We here apply it to synthetic data based on a variety of assumed plasma thermal distributions and develop a method to quantitatively assess the degree of multithermality of a plasma.

AB The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope detected a gamma-ray source that is spatially consistent with the location of Eta Carinae. This source has been persistently bright since the beginning of the LAT survey observations (from 2008 August to 2009 July, the time interval considered here). The gamma-ray signal is detected significantly throughout the LAT energy band (i.e., up to similar to 100 GeV). The 0.1-100 GeV energy spectrum is well represented by a combination of a cutoff power-law model (<10 GeV) and a hard power-law component (>10 GeV). The total flux (>100 MeV) is 3.7(-0.1)(+0.3) x 10(-7) photons s(-1) cm(-2), with additional systematic uncertainties of 10%, and consistent with the average flux measured by AGILE. The light curve obtained by Fermi is consistent with steady emission. Our observations do not confirm the presence of a gamma-ray flare in 2008 October, as reported by Tavani et al., although we cannot exclude that a flare lasting only a few hours escaped detection by the Fermi LAT. We also do not find any evidence for gamma-ray variability that correlates with the large X-ray variability of Eta Carinae observed during 2008 December and 2009 January. We are thus not able to establish an unambiguous identification of the LAT source with Eta Carinae.

AB Spectra and optical constants of nitrile ices known or suspected to be in Titan's atmosphere are presented from 2.0 to 333.3 mu m (similar to 5000-30 cm(-1)). These results are relevant to the ongoing modeling of Cassini CIRS observations of Titan's winter pole. Ices studied are: HCN, hydrogen cyanide; C2N2, cyanogen; CH3CN, acetonitrile; C2H5CN, propionitrile; and HC3N, cyanoacetylene. For each of these molecules, we also report new cryogenic measurements of the real refractive index, n, determined in both the amorphous and crystalline phases at 670 nm. These new values have been incorporated into our optical constant calculations. Spectra were measured and optical constants were calculated for each nitrile at a variety of temperatures, including, but not limited to, 20, 35, 50, 75, 95, and 110 K, in both the amorphous phase and the crystalline phase. This laboratory effort used a dedicated FTIR spectrometer to record transmission spectra of thin-film ice samples. Laser interference was used to measure film thickness during condensation onto a transparent cold window attached to the tail section of a closed-cycle helium cryostat. Optical constants, real (n) and imaginary (k) refractive indices, were determined using Kramers-Kronig analysis. Our calculation reproduces the complete spectrum, including all interference effects.

AB Flame acceleration and deflagration-to-detonation transitions (DDT) in large obstructed channels filled with a stoichiometric methane-air mixture are simulated using a single-step reaction mechanism. The reaction parameters are calibrated using known velocities and length scales of laminar flames and detonations. Calculations of the flame dynamics and DDT in channels with obstacles are compared to previously reported experimental data. The results obtained using the simple reaction model qualitatively, and in many cases, quantitatively match the experiments and are found to be largely insensitive to small variations in model parameters.

AB Corrosion surface damage in the form of pitting and micro-cracks is observed in many metals. Cracks usually initiate from the pits and grow under cyclic stresses and eventually lead to material failure. An image analysis based on wavelet transforms and fractals was used to study the corrosion morphology of nickel aluminum bronze metal under varying corrosion conditions and applied stresses. Image feature parameters were extracted and analyzed to classify the pits/cracks in the metal samples. The results obtained indicate that classification of pits/cracks is possible with image analysis and may be used for correlating service/failure conditions based on corrosion morphology.

BIOGEOCHEMISTRY
AB Deep-sea biogeochemical cycles are, in general, poorly understood owing to the difficulties of making measurements in situ, recovering samples with minimal perturbation, and, in many cases, coping with high spatial and temporal heterogeneity. In particular, biogeochemical fluxes of volatiles such as methane remain largely unconstrained because of the difficulties with accurate quantification in situ and the patchiness of point sources such as seeps and brine pools. To better constrain biogeochemical fluxes and cycling, we have developed a deep-sea in situ mass spectrometer (ISMS) to enable high-resolution quantification of volatiles in situ. Here we report direct measurements of methane concentrations made in a Gulf of Mexico brine pool located at a depth of over 2300 m. Concentrations of up to 33 mM methane were observed within the brine pool, whereas concentrations in the water directly above were three orders of magnitude lower. These direct measurements enabled us to make the first accurate estimates of the diffusive flux from a brine pool, calculated to be 1.1 +/- 0.2 mol m(-2) yr(-1). Integrated rate measurements of aerobic methane oxidation in the water column overlying the brine pool were similar to 320 mu mol m(-2) yr(-1), accounting at most for just 0.03% of the diffusive methane flux from the brine pool. Calculated rates of anaerobic methane oxidation were 600-1200 mu M yr(-1), one to two orders of magnitude higher than previously published values of AOM in anoxic fluids. These findings suggest that brine pools are enormous point sources of methane in the deep sea, and may, in aggregate, have a pronounced impact on the global marine methane cycle.

AB We analyzed a randomly selected group of 30 diffusely adherent (DAEC), 30 enteropathogenic, 30 enteroaggregative, and five Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli strains isolated from children with diarrhea. Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) colonization factors (CFs) were evaluated by a dot-blot assay using 21 CF-specific monoclonal antibodies. Out of 95 non-ETEC strains, three DAEC were found to express coli surface antigen 20 (CS20). No other E. coli expressed CFs. We confirmed the three CS20-positive strains as ETEC-negative by repeat PCR and as toxin-negative by ganglioside-GM1-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. To our knowledge, this is the first study that has identified currently recognized CFs in non-ETEC diarrheagenic E. coli strains identified using molecular methods. CFs may be an unrecognized relevant adherence factor in other E. coli, which may then play a role in pathogenesis and the immune response of the host.

AB Here, we fully characterize the genomes of 14 Plasmodium falciparum patient isolates taken recently from the Iquitos region using genome scanning, a microarray-based technique that delineates the majority of single-base changes, indels, and copy number variants distinguishing the coding regions of two clones. We show that the parasite population in the Peruvian Amazon bears a limited number of genotypes and low recombination frequencies. Despite the essentially clonal nature of some isolates, we see high frequencies of mutations in subtelomeric highly variable genes and internal var genes, indicating mutations arising during self-mating or mitotic replication. The data also reveal that one or two meioses separate different isolates, showing that P. falciparum clones isolated from different individuals in defined geographical regions could be useful in linkage analyses or quantitative trait locus studies. Through pairwise comparisons of different isolates we discovered point mutations in the apicoplast genome that are close to known mutations that confer clindamycin resistance in other species, but which were hitherto unknown in malaria parasites. Subsequent drug sensitivity testing revealed over 100-fold increase of clindamycin EC50 in strains harboring one of these mutations. This evidence of clindamycin-resistant parasites in the Amazon suggests that a shift should be made in health policy away from quinine + clindamycin therapy for malaria in pregnant women and infants, and that the development of new lincosamide antibiotics for malaria should be reconsidered.

AB In this paper, we discuss the detection of systematic biases in star positions of the USNO A1.0, A2.0, and B1.0 catalogs, as deduced from the residuals of numbered asteroid observations. We present a technique for the removal of these biases, and validate this technique by illustrating the resulting improvements in numbered asteroid residuals, and by establishing that debiased orbits predict omitted observations more accurately than do orbits derived from non-debiased observations. We also illustrate the benefits of debiasing to high-precision astrometric applications such as asteroid mass determination and collision analysis, including a refined prediction of the impact probability of 99942 Apophis. Specifically, we find the IP of Apophis to be lowered by nearly an order of magnitude to 4.5 x 10(-6) for the 2036 close approach. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB Organic planar heterojunction solar cells using C(60) as an electron acceptor and group 10 metal phthalocyanines ( nickel, palladium, and platinum) as electron donors have been fabricated and evaluated for their device characteristics. Upon changing the metal center, these devices exhibit interesting trends, such as variations in the open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current density, and power-conversion efficiency. Devices based on palladium phthalocyanine (PdPc) exhibited the best performance, achieving power-conversion efficiencies of 2.4% under AM1.5G (76mW/cm(2)) illumination. This is due to the higher ionization potential of PdPc and greater efficiency of charge photogeneration. Nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc) has the highest hole mobility, but cells using NiPc have the weakest charge-generation efficiency. This is due to poor exciton diffusion to the organic heterojunction that can be overcome by using a composite NiPc:C(60) charge-generation layer. An optimized NiPc-based cell has a power-conversion efficiency of 1.9%.

AB Simulations and measurements are presented for an all-metal flared-notch array element in both single and dual-polarization configurations. The ultrawideband radiator exhibits an operational bandwidth of 12:1 for broadside scan and 8:1 bandwidth at a 45-degree scan in all planes, maintaining active VSWR<2. The feed consists of a direct coax-to-slot-line transition that mounts directly into the base of the radiator. The all-metal flared-notches are machined from common metal stock and fed via SMA coaxial connectors. No soldering is required for any part of the design-including the feed-and assembly is simple and modular. The array parts are machined using a high-precision wire-EDM cutting technology, ensuring that measurements (in the 700 MHz-9 GHz range) are repeatable and give close agreement with theory, even through multiple assembly cycles of the modular construction system. This paper presents results for a 32-element linear array of horizontal elements and also an 8 x 8 planar array of dual-polarized elements, comparing measurements with full-wave simulations of the complete finite array structures.

AB A comprehensive analysis supported by experimental results is provided for RF and microwave power conversion efficiency (PCE) of photodiodes driven by optical signals with either shaped or pure sinusoidal intensity-envelopes where the shaping is performed with a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). It is shown that optical envelope-shaping provides a significantly improved maximum theoretical PCE of 67% as compared to 50% for sinusoidal intensity-envelopes. Practical PCEs of 40.5%-53.5% have been achieved as compared to previously published efficiencies in the 32%-41% range. The results demonstrate that high-current photodiodes can be used as efficient wideband high-power output stages in microwave photonic distribution systems leading to less complex and more efficient antenna array backplanes.

AB The multiple antigen peptide (MAP) approach is an effective method to chemically synthesize and deliver multiple T-cell and B-cell epitopes as the constituents of a single immunogen. Here we report on the design, chemical synthesis, and immunogenicity of three Plasmodium falciparum MAP vaccines that incorporated antigenic epitopes from the sporozoite, liver, and blood stages of the life cycle. Antibody and cellular responses were determined in three inbred (C57BL/6, BALB/c, and A/J) strains, one congenic (HLA-A2 on the C57BL/6 background) strain, and one outbred strain (CD1) of mice. All three MAPs were immunogenic and induced both antibody and cellular responses, albeit in a somewhat genetically restricted manner. Antibodies against MAP-1, MAP-2, and MAP-3 had an antiparasite effect that was also dependent on the mouse major histocompatibility complex background. Anti-MAP-1 (CSP-based) antibodies blocked the invasion of HepG2 liver cells by P. falciparum sporozoites (highest, 95.16% in HLA-A2 C57BL/6; lowest, 11.21% in BALB/c). Furthermore, antibodies generated following immunizations with the MAP-2 (PfCSP, PfLSA-1, PfMSP-1(42), and PfMSP-3b) and MAP-3 (PfRAP-1, PfRAP-2, PfSERA, and PfMSP-1(42)) vaccines were able to reduce the growth of blood stage parasites in erythrocyte cultures to various degrees. Thus, MAP-based vaccines remain a viable option to induce effective antibody and cellular responses. These results warrant further development and preclinical and clinical testing of the next generation of candidate MAP vaccines that are based on the conserved protective epitopes from Plasmodium antigens that are widely recognized by populations of divergent HLA types from around the world.

AB We evaluate what distinguishes a highly cited Interfaces paper from other Interfaces papers that are cited less often. Citations are used to acknowledge prior relevant research, to document sources of information, and to substantiate claims. As such, citations play a key role in the evolution of knowledge. More recently, citations are also being used to quantify the impact of papers and journals, a practice not without controversy, but one that motivates our work here. We find that Edelman competition papers, longer papers, tutorials, papers with larger numbers of references to prior literature, and papers with a larger number of "callouts" (a feature no longer used by Interfaces) tend to have a higher number of citations.

AB With the increasing biological threat from emerging infectious diseases and bioterrorism, it has become essential for governments around the globe to increase awareness and preparedness for identifying and containing those agents. This article introduces the basic concepts of laboratory management, laboratory biosafety and laboratory biosecurity. Assessment criteria for laboratories' biorisk should include both biosafety and biosecurity measures. The assessment requires setting specific goals and selecting management approaches. In order to implement technologies at the laboratory working level, a management team should be created whose role is to implement biorisk policies, rules and regulations appropriate for that facility. Rules and regulations required by government authorities are presented, with special emphasis on methods for air control, and liquid and solid waste management. Management and biorisk measures and appropriate physical facilities must keep pace, ensuring efficient facilities that protect workers, the environment, the product (research, diagnostic and/or vaccine) and the biological pathogen.

TI Optimal Linear Fitting for Objective Determination of Ocean Mixed Layer
Depth from Glider Profiles
SO JOURNAL OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC TECHNOLOGY
LA English
DT Article
ID PACIFIC-OCEAN; BARRIER LAYER; MODEL; VARIABILITY
AB A new optimal linear fitting method has been developed to determine mixed layer depth from profile data. This methodology includes three steps: 1) fitting the profile data from the first point near the surface to a depth using a linear polynomial, 2) computing the error ratio of absolute bias of few data points below that depth versus the root-mean-square error of data points from the surface to that depth between observed and fitted data, and 3) finding the depth (i.e., the mixed layer depth) with maximum error ratio. Temperature profiles in the western North Atlantic Ocean over 14 November-5 December 2007, collected from two gliders (Seagliders) deployed by the Naval Oceanographic Office, are used to demonstrate the capability of this method. The mean quality index (1.0 for perfect determination) for determining mixed layer depth is greater than 0.97, which is much higher than the critical value of 0.8 for well-defined mixed layer depth with that index.

AB In the Northern Hemisphere midlatitude western boundary current (WBC) systems there is a complex interaction between dynamics and thermodynamics and between atmosphere and ocean. Their potential contribution to the climate system motivated major parallel field programs in both the North Pacific [Kuroshio Extension System Study (KESS)] and the North Atlantic [ Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) Mode Water Dynamics Experiment (CLIMODE)], and preliminary observations and analyses from these programs highlight that complexity. The Gulf Stream (GS) in the North Atlantic and the Kuroshio Extension (KE) in the North Pacific have broad similarities, as subtropical gyre WBCs, but they also have significant differences, which affect the regional air-sea exchange processes and their larger-scale interactions. The 15-yr satellite altimeter data record, which provides a rich source of information, is combined here with the longer historical record from in situ data to describe and compare the current systems. While many important similarities have been noted on the dynamic and thermodynamic aspects of the time-varyingGS and KE, some not-so-subtle differences exist in current variability, mode water properties, and recirculation gyre structure. This paper provides a comprehensive comparison of these two current systems from both dynamical and thermodynamical perspectives with the goal of developing and evaluating hypotheses about the physics underlying the observed differences, and exploring the WBC's potential to influence midlatitude sea-air interaction. Differences between the GS and KE systems offer opportunities to compare the dominant processes and thereby to advance understanding of their role in the climate system.

AB Two cases of febrile respiratory illness associated with untypeable influenza A virus were identified in Southern California in March 2009. One was initially detected as influenza virus using an experimental diagnostic device in a clinical trial, while the other was detected at a local reference lab using a diagnostic PCR assay. In both cases, analyses yielded negative results for strain-specific tests targeting circulating strains of influenza A virus (seasonal H1 and H3). These two samples became the first reported cases of the pandemic 2009/H1N1 influenza virus. The first reportable characterization was made from the second collected specimen on 15 April 2009 at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention central lab using traditional culture and sequencing methods. The novel nature of the strain and its apparent zoonotic origins were initially characterized using the first collected specimen at the Naval Health Research Center in San Diego, CA, on 13 April using an experimental molecular analysis tool, PCR electro-spray ionization-mass spectrometry (PCR/ESI-MS), designed to amplify PCR products from any strain of influenza virus and to generate informative (phylogenetic) strain identifications through mass spectrometry of PCR amplicons. The ability of this high-throughput tool to correctly identify both well-characterized and novel influenza strains offers the possibility to integrate surveillance for emerging strains with on-site rapid diagnosis used for patient management, shortening the times between the emergence of new strains, their detection and identification, and appropriate public health response activities. Here we describe the initial characterization of the pandemic 2009/H1N1 influenza strain and discuss the possible roles of diagnostic tools with discovery potential.

AB Design studies are performed for composite material adherends in an axially loaded single lap shear joint with a three-layer adherend architecture. An optimal three-layer symmetric design and an improved three-layer asymmetric design are found. For the specific composite and adhesive material systems chosen, peel stresses are reduced by approximately 7% by using this improved three-layer asymmetric architecture. The maximum principal stress is reduced by approximately 4% for this optimized architecture.

AB A comparative study of AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) surface passivation using ex situ and in situ deposited SiNx is presented. Performing ex situ SiNx passivation increased the reverse gate leakage and off-state channel leakage by about three orders of magnitude. The in situ SiNx layer was characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and capacitance-voltage (CV) measurements. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra indicated a reduction of nonradiative recombination centers in in situ SiNx-passivated samples, indicating improved crystal quality. CV measurements indicated a reduction of surface state density as well, and thus better overall passivation using in situ SiNx. Electroluminescence (EL) images of the channel regions in AlGaN/GaN HEMT devices operating in forward blocking mode with up to 400 V drain bias demonstrated reduced channel emission profiles of in situ-passivated devices. Compared with a nonpassivated reference sample, the reduced EL emission profiles correlated with a reduced channel temperature on ex situ SiNx-passivated devices.

MOOS-IvP is composed of two open-source software projects funded by the Office of Naval Research. MOOS provides a core autonomy middleware capability, and the MOOS project additionally provides a set of ubiquitous infrastructure utilities. The IvP Helm is the primary component of an additional set of capabilities implemented to form a full marine autonomy suite known as MOOS-IvP. This software and architecture are platform and mission agnostic and allow for a scalable nesting of unmanned vehicle nodes to form large-scale, long-endurance ocean sensing systems composed of heterogeneous platform types with varying degrees of communications connectivity, bandwidth, and latency.

(ONR) support from Grant N-00014-97-1-0202 (Program Managers Tom Curtin,
Jeff Simmen, Tom Swean, and Randy Jacobson). The development of the
nested autonomy concept for environmental acoustic sensing and the MIT
component of the GLINT'08 experiment was funded by the ONR under the
GOATS program, Grant N-00014-08-1-0013 (Program Manager Ellen
Livingston). The development of the unified communication, command, and
control infrastructure and the execution of the SWAMSI09 experiment were
supported by ONR, Grant N-00014-08-1-0011 (Program Manager Bob
Headrick). The IvP-Helm autonomy software and the basic research
involved in the interval programming model for multiobjective
optimization were developed under support from ONR Code 311 (Program
Managers Don Wagner and Behzad Kamgar-Parsi). Prior prototype
development of IvP concepts benefited from the support of the In-house
Laboratory Independent Research (ILIR) program at the Naval Undersea
Warfare Center in Newport, Rhode Island. The NATO Undersea Research
Centre (NURC) has supported the development of the MOOS-IvP nested
autonomy concept by conducting seven major field experiments, in which
MIT LAMSS has been a partner, including GOATS'2000 and '2002, FAF'2003,
FAF'2005, CCLNet'08, GLINT'08, and GLINT'09. Without the world-class
seagoing experiment capabilities of NURC, with its state-of-the-art RVs,
NRV Alliance and CRV Leonardo, and their outstanding crew, and NURC's
excellent engineering and logistics support, the nested autonomy concept
and the underlying MOOS-IvP software base would not have reached the
level of sophistication and robustness that it has achieved.

AB Exposure to light or heat, or simply a dearth of fingerprint material, renders some latent fingerprints undetectable using conventional methods. We begin to address such elusive fingerprints using detection targeting photo- and thermally stable fingerprint constituents: surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). SERS can give descriptive vibrational spectra of amino acids, among other robust fingerprint constituents, and good sensitivity can be attained by improving metal-dielectric nanoparticle substrates. With SERS chemical imaging, vibrational bands' intensities recreate a visual of fingerprint topography. The impact of nanoparticle synthesis route, dispersal methodology-deposition solvent, and laser wavelength are discussed, as are data from enhanced vibrational spectra of fingerprint components. SERS and Raman chemical images of fingerprints and realistic contaminants are shown. To our knowledge, this represents the first SERS imaging of fingerprints. In conclusion, this work progresses toward the ultimate goal of vibrationally detecting latent prints that would otherwise remain undetected using traditional development methods.

AB This paper proposes a real time control algorithm for autonomous operation of a quadrotor unmanned air vehicle. The quadrotor is a small agile vehicle, which as well as being a excellent test bed for advanced control techniques could also be suitable for internal surveillance, search and rescue and remote inspection. The proposed control scheme incorporates two key aspects of autonomy; trajectory planning and trajectory following. Using the differentially-flat dynamics property of the system, the trajectory optimization is posed as a non-linear constrained optimization within the output space in the virtual domain, not explicitly related to the time domain. A suitable parameterization using a virtual argument as opposed to time is applied, which ensures initial and terminal constraint satisfaction. The speed profile is optimized independently, followed by the mapping to the time domain achieved using a speed factor. Trajectory following is achieved with a standard multi-variable control technique and a digital switch is used to re-optimize the reference trajectory in the event of infeasibility or mission change. The paper includes simulations using a full dynamic model of the quadrotor demonstrating the suitability of the proposed control scheme.

TI Spatial Modulation and Filtering of Diffusion Patterns for Inverse
Analysis of Heat Deposition
SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS ENGINEERING AND PERFORMANCE
LA English
DT Article

ID WELDS; CONDUCTION; MODEL
AB General parameterizations are constructed for spatial modulation and filtering of heat diffusion patterns according to general energy deposition characteristics occurring within a volume of material resulting from a volumetrically coupled energy source. These parameterizations include previously constructed models of energy deposition as special cases. The construction of a general parameterization of energy deposition processes is necessary for their inverse analysis. The structure of such a parameterization follows from the concepts of model and data spaces that imply the existence of an optimal parametric representation for a given class of inverse problems. Accordingly, the optimal parametric representation is determined by the characteristics of the available data, which in principle can contain both experimental measurements and numerical simulation data. Parameterizations for spatial modulation and filtering of heat diffusion follow from the observation that many different types of energy deposition processes can be represented by weighted sums of basis functions whose general forms are that of spatially modulated or filtered diffusion. A significant aspect of the parameterizations presented is that the definition of the inverse heat deposition problem, which is adopted for their construction, provides a rigorous foundation for a highly flexible and general parameterization of energy deposition processes, which is essential for their inverse analysis. A preliminary proof is presented that shows the significance of these parameterizations for the application of similarity transformations to the inverse analysis of energy deposition processes. The applicability of similarity transforms to the inverse analysis of heat deposition is another property that follows from the specific definition of the inverse heat deposition problem considered here.

AB Ectoparasites were sampled from small mammals collected in West Java, West Sumatra, North Sulawesi, and East Kalimantan, Indonesia, in 2007-2008 and were screened for evidence of infection from bacteria in the Rickettsaceae family. During eight trap nights at eight sites, 208 fleas were collected from 96 of 507 small mammals trapped from four orders (379 Rodentia; 123 Soricomorpha; two Carnivora; three Scandentia). Two species of fleas were collected: Xenopsylla cheopis (n = 204) and Nosopsyllus spp. (n = 4). Among the 208 fleas collected, 171 X. cheopis were removed from rats (Rattus spp.) and 33 X, cheopis from shrews (Suncus murinus). X. cheopis were pooled and tested for DNA from rickettsial agents Rickettsia typhi, Rickettsia felis, and spotted fever group rickettsiae. R. typhi, the agent of murine typhus, was detected in X. cheopis collected from small mammals in West Java and East Kalimantan. R. felis was detected in X. cheopis collected from small mammals in Manado, North Sulawesi. R. felis and spotted fever group rickettsiae were detected in a pool of X. cheopis collected from an animal in East Kalimantan. Sixteen percent of the X. cheopis pools were found positive for Rickettsia spp.; four (10.8%) R. typhi, one (2.7%) R. fells, and one (2.7%) codetection of R. felis aid a spotted fever group rickettsia. These data suggest that rickettsial infections remain a threat to human health across Indonesia.

AB Four types of commercial mosquito control traps, the Mosquito Magnet Pro (MMP), the Sentinel 360 (S360), the BC-Sentinel (BGS), and the Mega-Catch Ultra (MCU), were compared with a standard Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) light trap for efficacy in collecting phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) in a small farming village in the Nile River Valley 10 km north of Aswan, Egypt. Each trap was baited with either carbon dioxide (CO(2)) from combustion of butane gas (MMP), dry ice (CDC and BGS traps), light (MCU and S360), or dry ice and light (CDC). Traps were rotted through five sites in a 5 X 5 Latin square design, repeated four times during the height of the sand fly season (June, August, and September 2007) at a site where 94% of sand flies in past collections were Phlebotomus papatasi (Scopoli). A total of 6,440 sand flies was collected, of which 6,037 (93.7%) were P. papatasi. Of the CO(2)-baited traps, the BGS trap collected twice as many P. papatasi as the MMP and CDC light traps, and at least three times more P. papatasi than the light-only MCU and S360 traps (1 < 0.05). Mean numbers (+/-SE) of P. papatasi captured per trap night were as follows: BGS 142.1 (+/-45.8) > MMP 56.8 (+/-9.0) > CDC 52.3 (+/-6.1) > MCU 38.2 (+/-6.4) > S360 12.5 (+/-1.8). Results indicate that several types of commercial traps are suitable substitutes for the CDC light trap in sand fly surveillance programs.

AB The average local ionization energy (I) over bar (r) is the energy necessary to remove an electron from the point r in the space of a system. Its lowest values reveal the locations of the least tightly-held electrons, and thus the favored sites for reaction with electrophiles or radicals. In this paper, we review the definition of (I) over bar (r) and some of its key properties. Apart from its relevance to reactive behavior, (I) over bar (r) has an important role in several fundamental areas, including atomic shell structure, electronegativity and local polarizability and hardness. All of these aspects of (I) over bar (r) are discussed.

ID DYSFUNCTION; INCONTINENCE; PREVALENCE; SAMPLE; SCALE
AB Introduction.
The American Psychiatric Association recommends considering sexually related personal distress when assessing female sexual dysfunction. Currently, there is little data regarding the impact of sexual complaints on sexual distress.
Aim.
To investigate the association between sexual complaints and perceived sexual distress in a population of ambulatory adult women.
Methods.
Using the short forms of the Personal Experiences Questionnaire and Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Function Questionnaire, we assessed sexual complaints among 305 women seeking outpatient gynecologic care. Depressive symptoms were quantified using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CESD) score. Sexual distress was measured using the Female Sexual Distress Scale (FSDS). Using multivariable logistic regression, we compared sexual complaints between distressed and nondistressed women.
Main Outcome Measures.
Sexual distress, defined by FSDS score >= 15.
Results.
FSDS scores were available for 292/305 participants. Seventy-six (26%) scores reflected distress. Distressed women were more likely to be younger (55.2 +/- 1.0 years vs. 56.7 +/- 0.8 years, P = 0.017); have higher CESD scores (16.6 vs. 9.5, P = 0.001); and report decreased arousal (56.8% vs. 25.1%, P = 0.001), infrequent orgasm (54% vs. 28.8%, P = 0.001), and dyspareunia (39.7% vs. 10.6%, P = 0.001). Women with sexual distress were also more likely to report sexual difficulty related to pelvic floor symptoms, including urinary incontinence with sexual activity (9% vs. 1.3%, P = 0.005), sexual avoidance due to vaginal prolapse (13.9% vs. 1%, P = 0.001), or sexual activity restriction due to fear of urinary incontinence (14.9% vs. 0.5%, P = 0.001). After multivariate analysis, sexual distress was significantly associated with dyspareunia (odds ratio [OR] 3.11, P = 0.008) and depression score (OR 1.05, P = 0.006), and inversely associated with feelings of arousal during sex (OR 0.19, P = 0.001).
Conclusion.
Our results indicate that sexually related personal distress is significantly associated with dyspareunia, depressive symptoms, and decreased arousal during sexual activity. This contributes to our understanding of how sexual complaints may adversely affect women's quality of life. Knoepp LR, Shippey SH, Chen CCG, Cundiff GW, Derogatis LR, and Handa VL.

TI Approximate transducer transient suppression with increased output
amplitude
SO JOURNAL OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA
LA English
DT Article
AB A technique for the rapid, smooth turn-on of a transducer is described. The method is based on a previously described technique [J. C. Piquette, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 92, 1203-1213 (1992)]. In the previous method, transducer output amplitude is severely reduced compared to that obtained when driving the transducer using a standard gated sine due to the presence of a ramp component in the transient-suppressing voltage waveform. In the present work, approximate methods that eliminate the ramp component are described. Eliminating the ramp component results in significantly greater output amplitude, although the level of transient suppression that is achieved is not as good as that seen when using the exact transient-suppressing drive. Nonetheless, the smoothness (i.e., lack of spikes) in the transducer response is not compromised by the approximations. [DOI: 10.1121/1.3490855]

AB Tendinopathy of the long head of the biceps brachii encompasses a spectrum of pathology ranging from inflammatory tendinitis to degenerative tendinosis. Disorders of the long head of the biceps often occur in conjunction with other shoulder pathology. A thorough patient history, physical examination, and radiographic evaluation are necessary for diagnosis. Nonsurgical management, including rest, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, and injections, is attempted first in patients with mild disease. Surgical management is indicated for refractory or severe disease. In addition to simple biceps tenotomy, a variety of tenodesis techniques has been described. Open biceps tenodesis has been used historically. However, promising results have recently been reported with arthroscopic tenodesis.

AB This paper explores the hypothesis that a tropical cyclone (TC) may produce baroclinic waves through the divergent circulation that arises from its low level inflow and upper level outflow The model setting is a quasigeostrophic (QG) two layer fluid in which the effect of the tropical cyclone is parameterized through a source term on the QG potential vorticity equation Equations predicting the spectral subset of baroclinic waves that are excited through linear resonance are derived The near TC pattern of the barochnic waves in the streamfunction field typically takes the form of a ridge trough couplet whose phase with respect to the TC varies with the speed and direction of the TCs motion sector The predictions from the linearized theory are verified in two ways 1) fully nonlinear simulations are shown and 2) comparison is made to the observed upper level ridge trough couplets produced by recurving TCs in the Navy s Operational Global Prediction System (NOGAPS) The implications of this work for the predictability of downstream Impacts from recurving TCs are briefly described

AB We studied the surface and thermal properties of seven different varieties of cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine (RDX) crystalline explosives from five manufacturers using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The specific varieties of the RDX studied were acquired from the previous Reduced Sensitivity RDX Round Robin program. They were chosen because intensive characterization of the materials already existed including shock sensitivity and cyclotetramethylene-tetranitramine (HMX) impurity levels. AFM scans revealed a diversity of surface defects. To quantify the surface defects on the crystalline surface of the RDX particles, surface roughness measurements were acquired. Statistical analysis was undertaken to correlate the observed surface, HMX impurity levels, and DSC thermal curve properties with the known shock sensitivities of the material. It was determined that a statistically significant relationship exists between surface roughness and the shock sensitivity of the material while no relationship was observed between the DSC thermal properties and either surface roughness or shock sensitivity. The HMX content greatly affected the thermal properties of RDX but was uncorrelated with the shock sensitivity.

TI A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Evaluating the
Efficacy and Safety of Rifaximin for the Prevention of Travelers'
Diarrhea in US Military Personnel Deployed to Incirlik Air Base,

SO JOURNAL OF TRAVEL MEDICINE
LA English
DT Article
ID IMPACT
AB Background. Infectious diarrhea is an important problem among travelers and deployed US military overseas causing substantial morbidity due to acute illness and may result in burdensome postinfectious sequelae.
Methods. The nonsystemic antibiotic rifaximin was evaluated for prevention of travelers' diarrhea (TD) in a US military and civilian adult beneficiary population in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. In all, 100 volunteers deployed to Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, received rifaximin 1,100 mg once daily or placebo for 2 weeks, and participants were followed daily for 2 weeks.
Results. In an intention to treat analysis (n = 95), TD (based on subjects meeting case definition or early treatment) developed in 6.3% (3 of 48) of the rifaximin group compared with 19.2% (9 of 47) in the placebo group (Fisher's exact test p = 0.07). Rifaximin provided 67% (95% confidence interval, -13% to 91%, p = 0.07) protection against TD. Rifaximn 1,100 mg once daily was well tolerated with no observed differences in adverse events, whether solicited or unsolicited among the two treatment groups.
Conclusions. Rifaximin may represent an option among military personnel on deployment for prevention of TD with supportive future studies that consider deployment length, settings, and operational situations where widespread use of chemoprophylaxis may increase force health protection without undue risk during critical deployments.

AB The authors present a new software tool (eBEAM) for high accuracy simulations of electron beams with stochastic space charge effects as a module of the SAIC/NRL MICHELLE particle simulation code. In modeling low current electron beam systems such as in electron beam lithography and electron microscopy, it is necessary to simulate ensembles of individual electrons to account correctly for the statistical effects of interparticle interactions. This article demonstrates the use of CPU/GPU hybrid techniques that run on multiple platforms to accomplish the simulation task within the MICHELLE/eBEAM framework. (C) 2010 American Vacuum Society.

AB Numerical and experimental studies on the impact and penetration of armor plates subjected to sub-ordnance range impact velocities by pointed and flat strikers is presented. Three target scenarios are considered: (1) a blank (unbacked) steel plate; (2) the same steel plate backed by a thick layer of polyurea; and (3) two identical steel plates of half the original thickness placed on both sides of the polyurea layer. For the blank plate, two fracture mechanisms of the steel plate - shear plugging and petalling of the plates - are observed in the simulation. For the same plate with a thick polyurea coating at the back side, it is found that the polyurea coating provides additional resistance in terms of energy absorption through two mechanisms: (1) the increase in the energy dissipated by the steel plate and (2) increased energy stored in the polyurea itself. For the sandwich configuration of the target plate, where the polyurea layer is placed between two steel plates, no advantage in terms of penetration resistance is found. These numerical results agree with experimental observations on the failure modes and exit velocities. (c) 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

EFFICACY; PASSAGE; TRIAL
AB Purpose: alpha-blockers and calcium channel blockers have shown promise for medical expulsion therapy (MET) of distal ureteral calculi <1 cm in size. Although MET has been discussed in urology for some time, little has been written about MET in the emergency medicine and primary care literature. We sought to evaluate current practice patterns of MET among urologists, emergency medicine physicians, other primary care providers, and frontline military care providers. Methods: Web-based, self-developed survey to assess the current practice patterns of providers for the initial management of uncomplicated ureteral calculi, and specifically, their frequency of using MET. Cross-tabulation strategies utilizing compiled survey results were used to assess survey outcomes and determine prevalence values for understanding, familiarity, and therapeutic interventions for nephrolithiasis. Results: Of 293 medical professionals, 114 (39%) were urologists, 55 (48%) of which were fellowship trained in endourology. Fifty-six (19%) were emergency medicine physicians, 22(8%) were family practitioners, and 19(7%) were internists and other primary care physicians. Other physician subspecialists and medical paraprofessionals comprised the remaining 34%. Overall 27% of respondents were unfamiliar with MET for expulsion of uncomplicated ureteral stones, including 13% of staff physicians, 21% of emergency medicine doctors, 56% of family practitioners, 40% of internists, and 43% of other primary care providers. The overall prevalence of use of MET was 45%. All urologists were familiar with MET, but 31% rarely, never, or only sometimes used this therapy. Specifically, urologists, emergency physicians, family practitioners, internists, and other providers, usually or always used MET 69%, 55%, 16%, 16%, and 27%, of the time, respectively. In academic institutions, 71.6% use MET usually or almost always compared to 36% in military healthcare settings and 47% in other practice settings. Tamsulosin is the most widely used medication for MET, accounting for 57% of MET use. Factors identified that inhibit more widespread use of MET include, physician unfamiliarity with MET (72%), the belief that MET is not effective (10%), patient unwillingness to undergo MET (5%), and medications not covered by insurance plans (4%). Conclusion: While MET has been established as a reasonable adjunct for management of uncomplicated ureteral stones, it may be underutilized due to physician unfamiliarity with this type of treatment and perceived ineffectiveness. This therapy may be of particular benefit to forward deployed forces. Education programs and practice-specific guidelines to target this audience may help to improve the dispersion of MET into the medical community.

ID PERSONNEL; EMERGENCIES
AB Objectives: The aims of this research were to evaluate the effectiveness of two different sets of dental classification guidelines to differentiate dental emergency (DE) rates between deployable and nondeployable personnel. Methods: A retrospective study of the dental records of two cohorts of Marine Corps recruits examined and treated using different classification guidelines was completed. Results: Both classification systems showed significant differences between DE rates of nondeployable and deployable personnel. No statistical difference was observed when comparing the adjusted HRs of the two cohorts. Conclusions: Results of this study suggest that both guidelines are able to distinguish between deployable and nondeployable personnel and give reasonable assurance that class 1 and 2 patients will not experience a DE for a 6-month period. Incorporating factors such as caries risk, number of missing and filled teeth, and number of third molars may improve the ability of the dental classification systems in predicting DE.

AB An experiment is being conducted to directly compare the impact of all assimilated observations on short-range forecast errors in different forecast systems using an adjoint-based technique The technique allows detailed comparison of observation impacts in terms of data type, location, satellite sounding channel, or other relevant attributes This paper describes results for a "baseline" set of observations assimilated by three forecast systems for the month of January 2007 Despite differences in the assimilation algorithms and forecast models, the impacts of the major observation types are similar in each forecast system in a global sense However, regional details and other aspects of the results can differ substantially Large forecast error reductions are provided by satellite radiances geostationary satellite winds, radiosondes, and commercial aircraft Other observation types provide smaller impacts individually, but their combined impact is significant Only a small majority of the total number of observations assimilated actually improves the forecast, and most of the improvement comes from a large number of observations that have relatively small individual Impacts Accounting for this behavior may be especially important when considering strategies for deploying adaptive (or "targeted") components of the observing system

TI Anisotropic structure of the order parameter in FeSe0.45Te0.55 revealed

SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS

ID D-WAVE SUPERCONDUCTORS; VORTEX STATE
AB The central issues for understanding iron (Fe)-based superconductors are the symmetry and structure of the superconducting gap. So far the experimental data and theoretical models have been highly controversial. Some experiments favor two or more constant or nearly constant gaps, others indicate strong anisotropy and yet others suggest gap zeros ('nodes'). A unique method for addressing this issue, and one of very few methods that are bulk and angle resolved, is measuring the electronic-specific heat in a rotating magnetic field. In this study, we present the first such measurement for an Fe-based high-T-c superconductor. We observed a fourfold oscillation of the specific heat as a function of the in-plane magnetic field direction. Our results are consistent with the expectations for an extended s-wave model, with a significant gap anisotropy on the electron pockets and the gap minima along the Gamma M (Fe-Fe bond) direction.

ID QUANTUM-WELL LASERS; HIGH-POWER; NARROW-RIDGE
AB We report an experimental study of how the light-current characteristics and lateral mode properties of interband cascade lasers depend on ridge width. Narrower ridges provide greater heat dissipation due to lateral flow, along with operation in a single lateral mode. However, sidewall imperfections increase the cw threshold current density somewhat, from J(th) = 582 A/cm(2) at 300 K for an 11-mu m-wide ridge to 713 A/cm(2) and 1.07 kA/cm(2) for 5- and 3-mu m-wide ridges, respectively. The narrowest ridges similarly display a degradation of the slope efficiency. A 13-mu m-wide ridge produced 45 mW per facet of cw output power and maximum wall-plug efficiency of 3.5% per facet at T = 20 degrees C. A 5-mu m-wide ridge with 3-mm cavity length and no facet coatings operated cw at lambda = 3.5-mu m to a new record temperature of 345 K for the 3 to 4-mu m spectral range.

AB The equations for threshold-current density J(th) and external differential quantum efficiency eta(d) of quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are modified to include electron leakage and the electron-backfilling term corrected to take into account hot electrons in the injector. We show that by introducing both deep quantum wells and tall barriers in the active regions of 4.8-mu m-emitting QCLs, and by tapering the conduction-band edge of both injector and extractor regions, one can significantly reduce electron leakage. The characteristic temperatures for J(th) and eta(d), denoted by T(0) and T(1), respectively, are found to reach values as high as 278 and 285 K over the 20 to 90 degrees C temperature range, which means that J(th) and eta(d) display approximate to 2.3 slower variation than conventional 4.5- to 5.0-mu m-emitting, high-performance QCLs over the same temperature range. A model for the thermal excitation of hot injected electrons from the upper laser level to the upper active-region energy states, wherefrom some relax to the lower active-region states and some are scattered to the upper miniband, is used to estimate the leakage current. Estimated T(0) values are in good agreement with experiment for both conventional QCLs and deep-well QCLs. The T(1) values are justified by increases in both electron leakage and waveguide loss with temperature. (C) 2010 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers. [DOI: 10.1117/1.3509368]

DE midwave infrared sensor; panoramic imager; periscope; high resolution
AB A high-resolution midwave infrared panoramic periscope sensor system has been developed. The sensor includes an f/2.5 catadioptric optical system that provides a field of view with 360-deg horizontal azimuth and -10- to +30-deg elevation without requiring moving components (e. g., rotating mirrors). The focal plane is a 2048x2048, 15-mu m-pitch InSb detector operating at 80 K. An onboard thermoelectric reference source allows for real-time nonuniformity correction using the two-point correction method. The entire system (detector-Dewar assembly, cooler, electronics, and optics) is packaged to fit in an 8-in.-high, 6.5-in.-diameter volume. This work describes both the system optics and the electronics and presents sample imagery. We model both the sensor's radiometric performance, quantified by the noise-equivalent temperature difference, and its resolution performance. Model predictions are then compared with estimates obtained from experimental data. The ability of the system to resolve targets as a function of imaged spatial frequency is also presented.

DE through-the-wall imaging; radar; finite-difference time domain
AB This paper describes the use of microwaves to accurately image objects behind dielectric walls. The data are first simulated by using a finite-difference time-domain code. A large model of a room with walls and objects inside is used as a test case. Since the model and associated volume are big compared to wavelengths, the code is run on a parallel supercomputer. A fixed 2-D receiver array captures all the return data simultaneously. A time-domain backprojection algorithm with a correction for the time delay and refraction caused by the front wall then reconstructs high-fidelity 3-D images. A rigorous refraction correction using Snell's law and a simpler but faster linear correction are compared in both 2-D and 3-D. It is shown that imaging in 3-D and viewing an image in the plane parallel to the receiver array is necessary to identify objects by shape. It is also shown that a simple linear correction for the wall is sufficient. (C) 2010 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers. [DOI: 10.1117/1.3509364]

TI Why Preoperative Acuity Predicts Postoperative Acuity in
Wavefront-Guided LASIK
SO OPTOMETRY AND VISION SCIENCE
LA English
DT Article
DE LASIK; preoperative acuity; regression to the mean
ID VISUAL-ACUITY; REGRESSION
AB Purpose. To critically evaluate the following clinical wisdom regarding custom (wavefront-guided) laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) that subjects with better-than-average best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) before surgery have a greater risk of losing BCVA postoperatively than do subjects with worse-than-average BCVA before surgery.
Methods. High contrast BCVA was measured once before and 3 months after custom LASIK in one eye of 79 subjects. Preoperative spherical equivalent refractive error ranged between -1.00 and -10.38 D. The sample was divided into one of two subsamples: eyes that had better-than-average preoperative BCVA (<-0.11 logMAR) and eyes that had average or worse-than-average preoperative BCVA (>=-0.11 logMAR). Controls were implemented for retinal magnification and for the statistical phenomenon of regression to the mean of the preoperative acuity measurement.
Results. On average, for the entire sample, moving the correction from the spectacle plane to the corneal plane increased letter acuity 4.7% (1 letter, 0.02 logMAR). For each subsample, the percentage regression to the mean was 57.24%. After correcting for magnification effects and regression to the mean, eyes with better-than-average preoperative acuity had a small but significant gain in acuity (similar to 1 letter, p = 0.040) that was nearly identical to the gain for eyes with worse-than-average preoperative acuity (similar to 1.5 letters, p = 0.002).
Conclusions. Custom LASIK produced a statistically significant gain in visual acuity after correction for magnification effects. Dividing the sample into two subsamples based on preoperative acuity confirmed the common clinical observation that eyes with better-than-average acuity tend to remain the same or lose acuity, whereas eyes with worse-than-average acuity tend to gain acuity. However, when only one acuity measurement is taken at a single time point and the sample is subsampled nonrandomly, this clinical observation is due to a statistical artifact (regression to the mean) and is not attributable to the surgery.

AB Pancreatic pain resulting from chronic inflammation of the pancreas is often intractable and clinically difficult to manage with available analgesics reflecting the need for more effective therapies. The mechanisms underlying pancreatitis pain are not well understood. Here, the possibility that interleukin-6 (IL-6) may promote pancreatitis pain was investigated with TB-2-081 (3-O-formyl-20R,21-epoxyresibufogenin, EBRF), a small molecule IL-6 receptor antagonist that was semi-synthetically derived from natural sources. The potential activity and mechanism of TB-2-081 were investigated following the induction of persistent pancreatitis using dibutyltin dichloride (DBTC) in rats. TB-2-081 displaces the binding of IL-6 to the human recombinant soluble IL-6 receptor with apparent high affinity and inhibits IL-6 mediated cell growth. Systemic or oral, but not intrathecal, administration of TB-2-081 reversed DBTC-induced abdominal hypersensitivity in a dose-and time-dependent manner. IL-6 levels were significantly up-regulated in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) of rats with pancreatitis on day 6 after DBTC injection. IL-6-enhanced capsaicin-evoked release of calcitonin gene-related peptide from cultured DRG neurons was blocked by TB-2-081. Our data demonstrate that TB-2-081 acts as a systemically available and orally active small molecule IL-6 receptor antagonist. TB-2-081 effectively reduces pancreatitis-induced pain through peripheral mechanisms that are likely due to (a) increased expression of IL-6 in the DRG and (b) IL-6-mediated sensitization of nociceptive neurons.

AB There is a substantial genetic component for birth weight variation. We tested 18 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IGF2, H19, and IGF2R genes for associations with birth weight variation in 342 mother-newborn pairs (birth weight 2.1-4.7 kg at term) and 527 parent-newborn trios (birth weight 2.1-5.1 kg) across three localities. SNPs in the IGF2R (rs8191754; maternal genotype), IGF2 (rs3741205; newborn genotype), and 5' region of the H19 (rs2067051, rs2251375, and rs4929984) genes were associated with birth weight. Detailed analyses to distinguish direct maternal, direct newborn, and parent of origin effects for the most strongly associated H19 SNP (rs4929984) determined that the association of maternal genotype with newborn birth weight was due to parent of origin effects not direct maternal effects. That SNP is located near the CTCF binding sites that influence expression of the maternally imprinted IGF2 and paternally imprinted H19 locus, and there are statistically significant and independent opposite effects of the same rs4929984 allele, depending on the parent from which it was inherited.

ID SUPERCONDUCTORS
AB A detailed knowledge of the gap structure for the Fe-pnictide superconductors is still rather rudimentary with several conflicting reports of either nodes, deep gap minima, or fully isotropic gaps on the Fermi-surface sheets, both in the k(x)-k(y) plane and along the c axis. In this Rapid Communication, we present considerations for electronic Raman scattering which can help clarify the gap structure and topology using different light-scattering geometries. Using density-functional calculations for the Raman vertices, it is shown that the location of the gap minima may occur on loops stretching over a portion of the c axis in Ba(Fe0.94Co0.06)(2)As-2.

AB Electron thermal transport in a laser produced plasma cannot be described with a local approximation in many regions of a laser produced plasma because the electron mean free path is longer than the temperature gradient scale length Since a Krook model for the electron Vlasov equation is analytically solvable in the nonlocal limit, one can find simple expressions for the electron thermal flux in the nonlocal limit, and these can be economically incorporated into fluid simulations The Krook model provides reasonable descriptions of both preheat and flux limitation We have analyzed the Krook model in a series of publications Here we streamline the presentation of the model, show qualitatively just what the model predicts in certain situations, give internal tests to check the validity of the model, and provide more accurate analytic approximations to the integral formulas which the model gives rise to (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics [doi:10.1063/1.3505304]

AB Background: Despite the global threat caused by arthropod-borne viruses, there is not an efficient method for screening vector populations to detect novel viral sequences. Current viral detection and surveillance methods based on culture can be costly and time consuming and are predicated on prior knowledge of the etiologic agent, as they rely on specific oligonucleotide primers or antibodies. Therefore, these techniques may be unsuitable for situations when the causative agent of an outbreak is unknown.
Methodology/Principal Findings: In this study we explored the use of high-throughput pyrosequencing for surveillance of arthropod-borne RNA viruses. Dengue virus, a member of the positive strand RNA Flavivirus family that is transmitted by several members of the Aedes genus of mosquitoes, was used as a model. Aedes aegypti mosquitoes experimentally infected with dengue virus type 1 (DENV-1) were pooled with noninfected mosquitoes to simulate samples derived from ongoing arbovirus surveillance programs. Using random-primed methods, total RNA was reverse-transcribed and resulting cDNA subjected to 454 pyrosequencing.
Conclusions/Significance: In two types of samples, one with 5 adult mosquitoes infected with DENV-1- and the other with 1 DENV-1 infected mosquito and 4 noninfected mosquitoes, we identified DENV-1 DNA sequences. DENV-1 sequences were not detected in an uninfected control pool of 5 adult mosquitoes. We calculated the proportion of the Ae. aegypti metagenome contributed by each infecting Dengue virus genome (p(IP)), which ranged from 2.75x10(-8) to 1.08x10(-7). DENV-1 RNA was sufficiently concentrated in the mosquito that its detection was feasible using current high-throughput sequencing instrumentation. We also identified some of the components of the mosquito microflora on the basis of the sequence of expressed RNA. This included members of the bacterial genera Pirellula and Asaia, various fungi, and a potentially uncharacterized mycovirus.

AB Electrophoretic displays (EPDs) have made their way into consumer products. EPDs enable displays that offer the look and form of a printed page, often called "electronic paper". We will review recent apparatus and method patents for EPD devices and their fabrication. A brief introduction into the basic display operation and history of EPDs is given, while pointing out the technological challenges and difficulties for inventors. Recently, the majority of scientific publications and patenting activity has been directed to micro-segmented EPDs. These devices exhibit high optical reflectance and contrast, wide viewing angle, and high image resolution. Micro-segmented EPDs can also be integrated with flexible transistors technologies into flexible displays. Typical particles size ranges from 200 nm to 2 micrometer. Currently one very active area of patenting is the development of full-color EPDs. We summarize the recent patenting activity for EPDs and provide comments on perceiving factors driving intellectual property protection for EPD technologies.

AB Background: Injecting drug use is increasing in Afghanistan but little is known about sexual risk behaviors and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevalence among injection drug users (IDU). The purpose of this study is to assess prevalence and correlates of syphilis and condom use with female sex workers (FSWs) among male IDUs in Hirat, Jalalabad, Kabul, and Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan.
Methods: Participants in this cross-sectional study completed an interviewer-administered questionnaire and serologic testing for syphilis between June 2005 and January 2008. Factors associated with syphilis condom use with FSWs were assessed with site-controlled logistic regression analysis.
Results: Of 1078 male IDUs, most (90.3%) reported prior sexual experience, of whom 27.6% reported any condom use. Sexual experiences with FSWs (58.1%) and men or boys (25.7%) were common, although prior condom use with FSWs (32.6%) or male partners (10.8%) was relatively rare. Few reported having a lifetime STI diagnosis (6.3%, n = 68) or symptoms (10.4%, n = 110) in the last 6 months. Prevalence of syphilis was 3.72% (95% CI: 2.66%-5.06%) and varied significantly between sites ranging from 0% (Jalalabad) to 13.9% (Mazar-i-Sharif) (P < 0.001). Syphilis was significantly associated with STI diagnosis (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 3.84) or sex with FSWs (AOR = 3.82) in the last 6 months, and with lower (<= 6 years) educational level (AOR = 2.20). Prior condom use with FSWs was independently associated with living outside Afghanistan in the last decade (AOR = 5.52, 95% CI: 1.83-16.71), higher income (AOR = 2.03, 95% CI: 1.17-3.51), greater number of lifetime partners (AOR = 1.80, 95% CI: 1.32-2.45), and younger age (AOR = 0.985, 95% CI: 0.973-0.998).
Conclusions: Although prevalence of syphilis and condom use varied significantly by site, high levels of risky sexual behavior were common, and consistent condom use was rare among IDUs in Afghanistan. Harm reduction programming should incorporate sexual risk reduction and condom promotion and distribution in Afghan cities.

TI Examining Periodic Solar-Wind Density Structures Observed in the SECCHI

SO SOLAR PHYSICS

DT Article
ID SUN; EJECTION; DRIVEN; CORONA
AB We present an analysis of small-scale, periodic, solar-wind density enhancements (length scales as small as approximate to 1000 Mm) observed in images from the Heliospheric Imager (HI) aboard STEREO-A. We discuss their possible relationship to periodic fluctuations of the proton density that have been identified at 1 AU using in-situ plasma measurements. Specifically, Viall, Kepko, and Spence (J. Geophys. Res. 113, A07101, 2008) examined 11 years of in-situ solar-wind density measurements at 1 AU and demonstrated that not only turbulent structures, but also nonturbulent, periodic density structures exist in the solar wind with scale sizes of hundreds to one thousand Mm. In a subsequent paper, Viall, Spence, and Kasper (Geophys. Res. Lett. 36, L23102, 2009) analyzed the alpha-to-proton solar-wind abundance ratio measured during one such event of periodic density structures, demonstrating that the plasma behavior was highly suggestive that either temporally or spatially varying coronal source plasma created those density structures. Large periodic density structures observed at 1 AU, which were generated in the corona, can be observable in coronal and heliospheric white-light images if they possess sufficiently high density contrast. Indeed, we identify such periodic density structures as they enter the HI field of view and follow them as they advect with the solar wind through the images. The smaller, periodic density structures that we identify in the images are comparable in size to the larger structures analyzed in-situ at 1 AU, yielding further evidence that periodic density enhancements are a consequence of coronal activity as the solar wind is formed.

AB Numerical device modeling is used to study p-channel FETs with InSb, GaSb and InGaSb channels. To be as realistic as possible, the basic parameters are chosen to be those measured experimentally in state-of-the-art high-mobility materials, and where possible, predictions are compared against published data. Confinement effects are captured in the simulations using the density-gradient description of quantum transport. The emphasis is on projecting scaling properties and ultimate performance, with key issues being short-channel effects, the importance of source-drain leakage current, power considerations and p(+)-cap design. Although important, issues related to gate leakage current and gate stack design are not well addressed by modeling, and so are not considered in detail. With III-V complementary circuits and high-speed, low-power applications in mind, the general conclusion is that among the antimonide-based pFETs, InGaSb devices provide the best balance of speed and power dissipation.

AB AlGaN/GaN/Be:GaN heterostructures have been grown by rf-plasma molecular beam epitaxy on freestanding semi-insulating GaN substrates, employing unintentionally-doped (UID) GaN buffer layers with thicknesses. d(UID), varying between 50 nm and 500 nm. We have found that the heterostructures with UID buffers thicker than 200 nm exhibit much improved Hall properties and inter-device isolation current compared to heterostructures with d(UID) < 200 nm. The output conductance of devices fabricated on these heterostructures increases as d(UID) decreases below 200 nm, and devices with gate lengths of 240 nm and 1 mu m exhibited no significant difference in output conductance. Evidence of buffer trapping is observed in devices for which d(UID) <= 100 nm. The observed effects are tentatively explained by the presence of parallel conduction paths in samples with non-optimized UID buffer thickness. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

TI Enabling methods for community health mapping in developing countries
SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HEALTH GEOGRAPHICS

DT Article
ID GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION-SYSTEMS; GIS; CARE
AB Background: Spatial epidemiology is useful but difficult to apply in developing countries due to the low availability of digitized maps and address systems, accurate population distributions, and computational tools. A community-based mapping approach was used to demonstrate that participatory geographic information system (PGIS) techniques can provide information helpful for health and community development.
Results: The PGIS process allowed for the rapid determination of sectional (neighborhood) boundaries within the city of Bo, Sierra Leone. When combined with data about hospital laboratory visits, a catchment area for one hospital in Bo could be established. A survey of households from within the catchment area determined that the average population per household (about 6 individuals) was similar to that found in the 2004 census. However, we also found that the average house was inhabited by more than one household, for an average of 17.5 inhabitants per residential building, which is critical information to know when estimating population size using remote imagery that can detect and enumerate buildings.
Conclusions: The methods developed in this paper serve as a model for the involvement of communities in the generation of municipal maps and their application to community and health concerns.

AB Midlatitude cirrus cloud radiative forcing (CRF) values at the tropopause over China are estimated using a radiative transfer model initialized by Earth-orbiting Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) measurements. A derived diurnal mean CRF, solved as a function of solar zenith angle, theta, though varied over the solar day, is used to evaluate the sensitivity and influence of theta on CRF calculations. Although a total mean net (NET) CRF of 36.5 +/- 48.4 W m (2), estimated using direct observation data, is approximately equal to the value of 36.8 +/- 50.4 W m (2) from the diurnal mean simulations, monthly differences illustrate a seasonality function dictating the influence of theta on CRF. A significant positive NET effect exceeding similar to 80 W m (2) over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is found, which is in contrast to a NET CRF found to be closer to 20 W m (2) for most parts of China. This finding is attributable to a more prominent warming effect of cirrus clouds observed over higher terrain. Furthermore, a warmer and more humid thermal profile over the high terrain in summer induces decreases in longwave (LW) and NET CRF over the plateau. The seasonal spatial variability of cirrus cloud visible optical depths also contributes to the corresponding spatial variability of shortwave (SW), LW, and NET CRF solved.

AB The roles played by mesons in the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon are explored using as a basis a model containing vector mesons with coupling to the continuum together with the asymptotic Q(2) behavior of perturbative QCD. Specifically, the vector dominance model (GKex) developed by E. L. Lomon is employed, as it is known to be very successful in representing the existing high-quality data published to date. An analysis is made of the experimental uncertainties present when the differences between the GKex model and the data are expanded in orthonormal basis functions. A main motivation for the present study is to provide insight into how the various ingredients in this model yield the measured behavior, including discussions of when dipole form factors are to be expected or not, of which mesons are the major contributors, for instance, at low Q(2) or large distances, and of what effects are predicted from coupling to the continuum. Such insights are first discussed in momentum space, followed by an analysis of how different and potentially useful information emerges when both the experimental and theoretical electric form factors are Fourier transformed to coordinate space. While these Fourier transforms should not be interpreted as "charge distributions," nevertheless the roles played by the various mesons, especially those which are dominant at large or small distance scales, can be explored via such experiment-theory comparisons.

Our calculations show that the low-energy magnetic properties are correctly described by an effective three-site spin s = 1/2 Heisenberg model, with an antiferromagnetic exchange coupling J approximate to 5 meV. The ground-state manifold of the model is composed of two degenerate spin S = 1/2 doublets of opposite chirality. Due to lack of inversion symmetry in the molecule these two states are coupled by an external electric field, even when spin-orbit interaction is absent. The spin-electric coupling can be viewed as originating from a modified exchange constant delta J induced by the electric field. We find that the calculated transition rate between the chiral states yields an effective electric dipole moment d = 3.38 x 10(-33) C m approximate to e10(-4)a, where a is the Cu separation. For external electric fields epsilon approximate to 10(8) V/m this value corresponds to a Rabi time tau approximate to 1 ns and to a delta J on the order of a few mu eV.

AB Background: Research on Vietnam veterans suggests an association between psychological problems, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and misconduct; however, this has rarely been studied in veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom. The objective of this study was to investigate whether psychological problems were associated with three types of misconduct outcomes (demotions, drug-related discharges, and punitive discharges.)
Methods: A population-based study was conducted on all U. S. Marines who entered the military between October 1, 2001, and September 30, 2006, and deployed outside of the United States before the end of the study period, September 30, 2007. Demographic, psychiatric, deployment, and personnel information was collected from military records. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was conducted to investigate associations between the independent variables and the three types of misconduct in war-deployed (n = 77 998) and non-war-deployed (n = 13 944) Marines.
Results: Marines in both the war-deployed and non-war-deployed cohorts with a non-PTSD psychiatric diagnosis had an elevated risk for all three misconduct outcomes (hazard ratios ranged from 3.93 to 5.65). PTSD was a significant predictor of drug-related discharges in both the war-deployed and non-war-deployed cohorts. In the war-deployed cohort only, a specific diagnosis of PTSD was associated with an increased risk for both demotions (hazard ratio, 8.60; 95% confidence interval, 6.95 to 10.64) and punitive discharges (HR, 11.06; 95% CI, 8.06 to 15.16).
Conclusions: These results provide evidence of an association between PTSD and behavior problems in Marines deployed to war. Moreover, because misconduct can lead to disqualification for some Veterans Administration benefits, personnel with the most serious manifestations of PTSD may face additional barriers to care.

AB We introduce a coupled multiscale, multiphysics method (CM(3)) for solving for the behaviour of rarefied gas flows. The approach is to solve the kinetic equation for rarefied gases (the Boltzmann equation) over a very short interval of time in order to obtain accurate estimates of the components of the stress tensor and heat-flux vector. These estimates are used to close the conservation laws for mass, momentum and energy, which are subsequently used to advance continuum-level flow variables forward in time. After a finite time interval, the Boltzmann equation is solved again for the new continuum field, and the cycle is repeated. The target applications for this type of method are transition-regime gas flows for which standard continuum models (e.g. Navier-Stokes equations) cannot be used, but solution of Boltzmann's equation is prohibitively expensive. The use of molecular-level data to close the conservation laws significantly extends the range of applicability of the continuum conservation laws. In this study, the CM(3) is used to perform two proof-of-principle calculations: a low-speed Rayleigh flow and a thermal Fourier flow. Velocity, temperature, shear-stress and heat-flux profiles compare well with direct-simulation Monte Carlo solutions for various Knudsen numbers ranging from the near-continuum regime to the transition regime. We discuss algorithmic problems and the solutions necessary to implement the CM(3), building upon the conceptual framework of the heterogeneous multiscale methods.

AB We report a graphene-based transparent conductive electrode for use in ultraviolet (UV) GaN light emitting diodes (LEDs). A few-layer graphene (FLG) layer was mechanically deposited. UV light at a peak wavelength of 368nm was successfully emitted by the FLG layer as transparent contact to p-GaN. The emission of UV light through the thin graphene layer was brighter than through the thick graphene layer. The thickness of the graphene layer was characterized by micro-Raman spectroscopy. Our results indicate that this novel graphene-based transparent conductive electrode holds great promise for use in UV optoelectronics for which conventional ITO is less transparent than graphene.

AB We have studied the mesospheric response to two recent stratospheric warmings by performing short-term forecasts at medium (1.5 degrees) and high (0.5 degrees) spatial resolution under different gravity wave drag (GWD) scenarios. We validated our models with our high-altitude analysis that extends from 0 to 90 km. For the minor warming of January 2008, reduced upper-level orographic GWD weakened the downward residual circulation and cooled the mesosphere. Parameterized nonorographic GWD increased the simulated mesospheric cooling. For the prolonged major warming of 2006, heavily attenuated orographic GWD led to pronounced cooling near 50 km. During the extended phase of this event, an unusually strong westerly polar vortex reformed in the lower mesosphere, which allowed westward propagating nonorographic gravity waves to reach the mesosphere and break, with net westward accelerations of over 50 ms(-1) d(-1). This, in turn, forced a strong residual circulation, yielding descent velocities over 2 cm s(-1) between 65 degrees N and 85 degrees N, consistent with previous reports of enhanced downward transport of trace constituents. The resulting adiabatic heating, as evidenced by the unusually vertically displaced stratopause at 80 km, is likely a direct consequence of this enhanced gravity wave driven descent. High-resolution simulations without parameterized GWD were closer to the analysis than medium-resolution simulations with parameterized orographic GWD only, but still did not fully simulate the mesospheric thermal response. Specifically, the 80 km temperature enhancement was still underestimated in these simulations. This suggests that higher spatial resolution is needed to adequately resolve extratropical gravity wave momentum fluxes.

AB The Spatial Heterodyne Imager for Mesospheric Radicals (SHIMMER) was a high-resolution, near ultraviolet spectrometer that imaged the Earth's limb for 2.5 years between March 2007 and October 2009. The instrument used the Spatial Heterodyne Spectroscopy technique for the first time on a satellite and successfully demonstrated its capabilities. SHIMMER measured the solar resonance fluorescence of the OH A(2)Sigma(+)-X-2 Pi (0, 0) band around 309 nm, which allows the retrieval of mesospheric OH density profiles. It also measured the Rayleigh scattered background from the clear atmosphere and solar scattering from polar mesospheric cloud particles. We present details on the SHIMMER mission, the payload design, and the data analysis. A comparison between SHIMMER and concurrent Microwave Limb Sounder OH data shows good agreement between 60 and 90 km altitude for several latitudes and seasons. We also find good agreement of the SHIMMER OH densities and standard photochemical model calculations between 60 and 80 km. We find no evidence of a 25%-35% mesospheric OH deficit, previously reported using Middle Atmosphere High-Resolution Spectrograph Investigation (MAHRSI) OH data. However, independent analysis of Rayleigh scattered background signals observed by SHIMMER and MAHRSI under similar lighting conditions revealed that MAHRSI radiances are systematically smaller than SHIMMER radiances by 24%. Although this difference is well outside of the combined uncertainties for both experiments, the agreement of SHIMMER OH with Microwave Limb Sounder OH and standard photochemistry results, together with our Rayleigh scattering comparison, suggests an unidentified MAHRSI calibration problem that effectively eliminates the mesospheric OH deficit reported using MAHRSI observations.

AB Chaotic advection has served as the paradigm for mixing in fluid flows with simple time dependence. Its skeletal structure is based on analysis of invariant attracting and repelling manifolds in fluid flows. Here we develop a finite-time theory for two-dimensional incompressible fluid flows with arbitrary time dependence and introduce a new mixing diagnostic based on it. Besides stretching events around attracting and repelling manifolds, this allows us to detect hyperbolic mixing zones. We used the new diagnostic to forecast the spatial location and timing of oil washing ashore in Plaquemines Parish and Grand Isle, Louisiana, and Pensacola, Florida, in May 2010 and the flow of oil toward Panama City Beach, Florida, in June 2010.

AB Background: Nonresponse bias in a longitudinal study could affect the magnitude and direction of measures of association. We identified sociodemographic, behavioral, military, and health-related predictors of response to the first follow-up questionnaire in a large military cohort and assessed the extent to which nonresponse biased measures of association.
Methods: Data are from the baseline and first follow-up survey of the Millennium Cohort Study. Seventy-six thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five eligible individuals completed the baseline survey and were presumed alive at the time of follow-up; of these, 54,960 (71.6%) completed the first follow-up survey. Logistic regression models were used to calculate inverse probability weights using propensity scores.
Results: Characteristics associated with a greater probability of response included female gender, older age, higher education level, officer rank, active-duty status, and a self-reported history of military exposures. Ever smokers, those with a history of chronic alcohol consumption or a major depressive disorder, and those separated from the military at follow-up had a lower probability of response. Nonresponse to the follow-up questionnaire did not result in appreciable bias; bias was greatest in subgroups with small numbers.
Conclusions: These findings suggest that prospective analyses from this cohort are not substantially biased by non-response at the first follow-up assessment.

AB X-shaped radio galaxies are defined by their peculiar large-scale radio morphology. In addition to the classical double-lobed structure they have a pair of low-luminosity wings that straddles the nucleus at almost right angles to the active lobes, thus giving the impression of an 'X'. In this paper we study for the first time the optical spectral properties of this object class using a large sample (similar to 50 sources). We find that the X-shaped radio population is composed roughly equally of sources with weak and strong emission-line spectra, which makes them, in combination with the well-known fact that they preferentially have radio powers intermediate between those of Fanaroff-Riley type I (FR I) and type II (FR II) radio galaxies, the archetypal transition population. We do not find evidence in support of the proposition that the X shape is the result of a recent merger: X-shaped radio sources do not have unusually broad emission lines, their nuclear environments are in general not dusty and their host galaxies do not show signs of enhanced star formation. Instead, we observe that the nuclear regions of X-shaped radio sources have relatively high temperatures. This finding favours models which propose that the X shape is the result of an overpressured environment.

AB The T-regulatory (T-reg) cells restrict the T-cell functions in various viral infections including influenza infection. However little is known about the effect of T-regs in influenza vaccination. Herein, we found that immunization of BALB/c mice with a prototype of UV-inactivated influenza PR8/A/34 virus vaccine expanded the CD4(+)Foxp3(+) T-reg pool and fostered the development of virus-specific CD4(+)Foxp3(+) T-reg cells. Increasing the size of Foxp3(+) T-reg pool did not alter the primary PR8-specific B-cell response, but it did suppress the primary and memory PR8-specific T helper responses induced by vaccination. In contrast, the vaccination-induced T helper cell response was augmented in the absence of CD4(+)Foxp3(+) T-reg cells. Since CD4 T helper cells contribute to anti-influenza protection, therapeutic "quenching" of T-reg function prior to vaccination may enhance the efficacy of influenza vaccination.

AB We present an analysis of the gamma-ray data obtained with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in the direction of SNR W49B (G43.3-0.2). A bright unresolved gamma-ray source detected at a significance of 38 sigma is found to coincide with SNR W49B. The energy spectrum in the 0.2-200 GeV range gradually steepens toward high energies. The luminosity is estimated to be 1.5 x 10(36) (D/8 kpc)(2) erg s(-1) in this energy range. There is no indication that the gamma-ray emission comes from a pulsar. Assuming that the supernova remnant (SNR) shell is the site of gamma-ray production, the observed spectrum can be explained either by the decay of neutral pi mesons produced through the proton-proton collisions or by electron bremsstrahlung. The calculated energy density of relativistic particles responsible for the LAT flux is estimated to be remarkably large, U-e,U-p > 10(4) eV cm(-3), for either gamma-ray production mechanism.

AB The LASCO coronagraphs, in continuous operation since 1995, have observed the evolution of the solar corona and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) over a full solar cycle with high-quality images and regular cadence. This is the first time that such a data set becomes available and constitutes a unique resource for the study of CMEs. In this paper, we present a comprehensive investigation of the solar cycle dependence on the CME mass and energy over a full solar cycle (1996-2009) including the first in-depth discussion of the mass and energy analysis methods and their associated errors. Our analysis provides several results worthy of further studies. It demonstrates the possible existence of two event classes: "normal" CMEs reaching constant mass for > 10 R(circle dot) and "pseudo"-CMEs which disappear in the C3 field of view. It shows that the mass and energy properties of CME reach constant levels and therefore should be measured only above similar to 10R(circle dot). The mass density (g/R(circle dot)(2)) of CMEs varies relatively little (< order of magnitude) suggesting that the majority of the mass originates from a small range in coronal heights. We find a sudden reduction in the CME mass in mid-2003 which may be related to a change in the electron content of the large-scale corona and we uncover the presence of a 6 month periodicity in the ejected mass from 2003 onward.

AB We reconstruct the global structure and kinematics of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) using coordinated imaging and in situ observations from multiple vantage points. A forward modeling technique, which assumes a rope-like morphology for CMEs, is used to determine the global structure (including orientation and propagation direction) from coronagraph observations. We reconstruct the corresponding structure from in situ measurements at 1 AU with the Grad-Shafranov method, which gives the flux-rope orientation, cross section, and a rough knowledge of the propagation direction. CME kinematics (propagation direction and radial distance) during the transit from the Sun to 1 AU are studied with a geometric triangulation technique, which provides an unambiguous association between solar observations and in situ signatures; a track fitting approach is invoked when data are available from only one spacecraft. We show how the results obtained from imaging and in situ data can be compared by applying these methods to the 2007 November 14-16 and 2008 December 12 CMEs. This merged imaging and in situ study shows important consequences and implications for CME research as well as space weather forecasting: (1) CME propagation directions can be determined to a relatively good precision as shown by the consistency between different methods; (2) the geometric triangulation technique shows a promising capability to link solar observations with corresponding in situ signatures at 1 AU and to predict CME arrival at the Earth; (3) the flux rope within CMEs, which has the most hazardous southward magnetic field, cannot be imaged at large distances due to expansion; (4) the flux-rope orientation derived from in situ measurements at 1 AU may have a large deviation from that determined by coronagraph image modeling; and (5) we find, for the first time, that CMEs undergo a westward migration with respect to the Sun-Earth line at their acceleration phase, which we suggest is a universal feature produced by the magnetic field connecting the Sun and ejecta. The importance of having dedicated spacecraft at L4 and L5, which are well situated for the triangulation concept, is also discussed based on the results.
