Kochia is a troublesome weed throughout the western United States. Although glyphosate effectively controls kochia, poor control was observed in several no-till fields in Kansas. The objectives of this research were to evaluate kochia populations response to glyphosate and examine the mechanism that causes differential response to glyphosate. Glyphosate was applied at 0, 54, 109, 218, 435, 870, 1305, 1740, 3480, and 5220 g ae ha−1 on 10 kochia populations. In general, kochia populations differed in their response to glyphosate. At 21 d after treatment, injury from glyphosate applied at 870 g ha−1 range from 4 to 91%. In addition, glyphosate rate required to cause 50% visible injury (GR50) ranged from 470 to 2149 g ha−1. Differences in glyphosate absorption and translocation and kochia mineral content were not sufficient to explain differential kochia response to glyphosate.

Pyroxasulfone (KIH-485) is a seedling growth-inhibiting herbicide developed by Kumiai America that has the potential to control weeds in sunflower. However, little is known about how this herbicide will interact with various soil types and environments when combined with sulfentrazone. The objective of this research was to evaluate sunflower injury and weed control with pyroxasulfone applied with and without sulfentrazone across the Great Plains sunflower production area. A multisite study was initiated in spring 2007 to evaluate sunflower response to pyroxasulfone applied PRE at 0, 167, 208, or 333 g ai ha−1. In 2008, pyroxasulfone was applied alone and in tank mixture with sulfentrazone. In 2007, no sunflower injury was observed with any rate of pyroxasulfone at any location except Highmore, SD, where sunflower injury was 17%, 4 wk after treatment (WAT) with 333 g ha−1. In 2008, sunflower injury ranged from 0 to 4% for all treatments. Adding sulfentrazone did not increase injury. Sunflower yield was only reduced in treatments in which weeds were not effectively controlled. These treatments included the untreated control and pyroxasulfone at 167 g ha−1. Sunflower yield did not differ among the other treatments of pyroxasulfone or sulfentrazone applied alone or in combination. The addition of sulfentrazone to pyroxasulfone improved control of foxtail barley, prostrate pigweed, wild buckwheat, Palmer amaranth, and marshelder, but not large crabgrass or green foxtail. The combination of pyroxasulfone and sulfentrazone did not reduce control of any of the weeds evaluated.

Field experiments were conducted in grain sorghum at five locations in Kansas in 2009 and 2010, to evaluate the efficacy and crop safety of early- to mid-POST (EMPOST) and late-POST (LPOST) applications of premixed pyrasulfotole and bromoxynil (PYRA&BROM) in tank mix combinations with atrazine or atrazine plus 2,4-D ester or dicamba compared to bromoxynil plus atrazine. PYRA&BROM at 244 or 300 g ai ha−1 plus atrazine at 560 g ai ha−1 applied EMPOST controlled pigweed species (Palmer amaranth, tumble pigweed, and redroot pigweed), kochia, velvetleaf, common sunflower, ivyleaf morningglory, and common lambsquarters 93% or greater. Puncturevine control among three locations ranged from 85 to 99%. Control of most weed species was not improved by increasing PYRA&BROM rate from 244 to 300 g ha−1 or by tank mixing 2,4-D or dicamba with PYRA&BROM plus atrazine. However, ivyleaf morningglory control was improved at the LPOST timing by adding 2,4-D or dicamba at 140 g ae ha−1. In no instance did any PYRA&BROM treatment provide greater weed control than bromoxynil plus atrazine at 281 + 560 g ha−1 when applied EMPOST, but in most instances PYRA&BROM treatments were more effective than bromoxynil plus atrazine when applied LPOST. Generally, PYRA&BROM treatments were more effective when applied EMPOST than LPOST, especially when 2,4-D or dicamba was added. PYRA&BROM plus atrazine treatments caused foliar bleaching in sorghum within 7 ± 3 d after treatment, but recovery was complete within 3 to 4 wk and grain yields were not reduced. Tank mixing dicamba with PYRA&BROM and atrazine occasionally reduced visible crop response compared to PYRA&BROM plus atrazine. Our results indicate that PYRA&BROM plus atrazine with or without 2,4-D or dicamba selectively controls several troublesome broadleaf weeds in grain sorghum. Foliar bleaching of sorghum leaves can occur but the symptoms are transient, and grain yields are not likely to be reduced.

A total of 50 arthropod taxa were identified from 41 fossil packrat (Neotoma sp.) middens from 160 to 625 m elevation in three study areas in the Lower Colorado River Valley subdivision of the Sonoran Desert. Radiocarbon dates associated with the middens range from >43,200 to 610 yr B.P. The fauna in the Tinajas Altas Mountains, southwestern Arizona, was relatively modern by ca. 10,000 yr B.P. in the early Holocene although a California juniper woodland persisted in the area until 8970 yr B.P. In contrast the fauna of the Hornaday Mountains, northwestern Sonora, increased dramatically in species richness after 4000 yr B.P. Although we are limited by poor taxonomic resolution and by insufficient knowledge of current distributions, the arthropod fauna may have been much more conservative than the regional flora during the last glacial/interglacial climatic cycle. Decreasing differences between modern and glacial climates (both temperature and precipitation) at lower latitudes and elevations may have resulted in minimal changes in the arthropod fauna of the Sonoran Desert lowlands.

Experiments on the National Ignition Facility show that multi-dimensional effects currently dominate the implosion performance. Low mode implosion symmetry and hydrodynamic instabilities seeded by capsule mounting features appear to be two key limiting factors for implosion performance. One reason these factors have a large impact on the performance of inertial confinement fusion implosions is the high convergence required to achieve high fusion gains. To tackle these problems, a predictable implosion platform is needed meaning experiments must trade-off high gain for performance. LANL has adopted three main approaches to develop a one-dimensional (1D) implosion platform where 1D means measured yield over the 1D clean calculation. A high adiabat, low convergence platform is being developed using beryllium capsules enabling larger case-to-capsule ratios to improve symmetry. The second approach is liquid fuel layers using wetted foam targets. With liquid fuel layers, the implosion convergence can be controlled via the initial vapor pressure set by the target fielding temperature. The last method is double shell targets. For double shells, the smaller inner shell houses the DT fuel and the convergence of this cavity is relatively small compared to hot spot ignition. However, double shell targets have a different set of trade-off versus advantages. Details for each of these approaches are described.

Medical technology offers enormous potential for scalable medicine—to improve the quality and access in health care while simultaneously reducing cost. However, current medical device innovation within companies often only offers incremental advances on existing products, or originates from engineers with limited knowledge of the clinical complexities. We describe how the Hacking Medicine Initiative, based at Massachusetts Institute of Technology has developed an innovative “healthcare hackathon” approach, bringing diverse teams together to rapidly validate clinical needs and develop solutions. Hackathons are based on three core principles; emphasis on a problem-based approach, cross-pollination of disciplines, and “pivoting” on or rapidly iterating on ideas. Hackathons also offer enormous potential for innovation in global health by focusing on local needs and resources as well as addressing feasibility and cultural contextualization. Although relatively new, the success of this approach is clear, as evidenced by the development of successful startup companies, pioneering product design, and the incorporation of creative people from outside traditional life science backgrounds who are working with clinicians and other scientists to create transformative innovation in health care.

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) films between 1 and 3 μm thick were grown using solution deposition techniques to study the effects of crystal structure and orientation on the direct piezoelectric output of these films on platinized Si membranes. By varying the chemistry of the film from Zr-rich to Ti-rich, the {100}/(111) relative intensity increased for films grown on randomly oriented Pt films. The 40:60 PZT had a tetragonal crystal structure and produced greater electrical output at a given strain than the rhombohedral film (Zr:Ti concentrations less than 50:50), while having a similar e31 constant, between 4.8 and 6.3 C/m2. Orientation and voltage output at a given strain were not strongly influenced by thickness in the ranges investigated. Defects in internal PZT/PZT crystallization interfaces were identified and include porosity on the order of tens of nm, with a corresponding depletion in Pb and accumulation of O at these interfaces. The {100} texture of rhombohedral films deposited upon (111) textured Pt films is significantly greater than the {100} texture of tetragonal films, which show both a {100} and {111} orientation on the same Pt film.

Schistosomes are digenean flukes, parasitic of birds, mammals and crocodiles. The family Schistosomatidae contains species of considerable medical and veterinary importance, which cause the disease schistosomiasis. Previous studies, both morphological and molecular, which have provided a good deal of information on the phylogenetics of this group, have been limited in the number of species investigated or the type or extent of molecular data used. This paper presents the most comprehensive phylogeny to date, based on the sequences of 3 genes, complete ribosomal small subunit rRNA and large ribosomal subunit rRNA, and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1, sequenced from 30 taxa including at least 1 representative from 10 of the 13 known genera of the Schistosomatidae and 17 of the 20 recognized Schistosoma species. The phylogeny is examined using morphological characters, intermediate and definitive host associations and biogeography. Theories as to the origins and spread of Schistosoma are also explored. The principal findings are that Ornithobilharzia and Austrobilharzia form a sister group to the Schistosoma; mammalian schistosomes appear paraphyletic and 2 Trichobilharzia species, T. ocellata and T. szidati, seem to be synonymous. The position of Orientobilharzia within the Schistosoma is confirmed, as is an Asian origin for the Schistosoma, followed by subsequent dispersal through India and Africa.

The geminiviruses are a group of plant DNA viruses characterized by having one or two copies of a single-stranded, circular DNA genome and frequent occurrence of geminate, quasi-isometric particles as observed by transmission electron microscopy. The Geminiviridaefamily is classified into three genera (Mastrevirus, Curtovirus and Begomovirus)based on the number of DNA components, the plant hosts, and the transmission vectors. Maize streak virus (MSV), the type member of the Mastrivirusgenus, is transmitted by the leafhopper and infects Gramineaespecies. Wheat dwarf virus, Digitaria streak virus, and Chloris striate mosaic virus (CSMV) are examples of other members of the Mastrivirusgenus. The Nigerian strain of MSV (MSV-N) contains one copy of a singlestranded, circular DNA molecule (2687 nucleotides). Two protein products, VI and V2, are coded by the MSV-N genome.2 V2 (244 amino acids) is the only coat protein found in virions.

Alphaviruses are a group of enveloped viruses in the Togaviridae family. Studies of several alphaviruses, including Ross River, Sindbis and Semliki Forest viruses, by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), three-dimensional (3D) image resconstruction and other techniques have illustrated that these spherical viruses have a T=4, multi-layered structure.
Aura virus, which is closely related to Sindbis, was first isolated in South America. Unlike the other alphaviruses, both genomic RNA (12kb, 49S) and subgenomic RNA(4.2kb, 26S) are encapsidated efficiently and form mature virions. Studies on negatively-stained virus particles demonstrated that there are two major size classes. The first contains particles of ∼72nm diameter, which are most similar to wild type virus, whereas the second class includes particles of ∼62nm in diameter. The 72nm particles are believed to have one copy of genomic RNA or one to three copies of subgenomic RNA, and a T=4 structure. The 62nm particles probably only have a single copy of subgenomic RNA and are presumed to be T=3 structures.

A chemical solution powder synthesis technique has been developed that produces fine, uniform powders of lead magnesium niobate (PMN) with 60 to 80 nm crystallite size. The synthesis technique was based on the dissolution of lead acetate and alkoxide precursors in acetic acid followed by precipitation with oxalic acid/propanol solutions. Lead magnesium niobate ceramics fabricated from these chemically derived powders had smaller, more uniform grain size and higher dielectric constants than ceramics fabricated from mixed oxide powders that were processed under similar thermal conditions. Chem-prep PMN dielectrics with peak dielectric constants greater than 22,000 and polarizations in excess of 29 μC/cm2 were obtained for 1100°C firing treatments. Substantial decreases in dielectric constant and polarization were measured for chemically prepared PMN ceramics fired at lower temperatures, consistent with previous work on mixed oxide materials.

Recently, an energetic film growth technique was developed. In this process, an RF (radio frequency) plasma was ignited in an ambient atmospheric environment. An aqueous solution was excited into mist, which was then fed into the plasma reactor. After vaporization, films were formed on substrates outside the plasma. As a by-product, small amount of powders were collected in the plasma reactor. Films studied were indium-tin oxide (ITO), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and lanthanum strontium manganite oxides (LaSrMnO). Films and powders were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX, EDS), and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) transmission measurements. Morphology of a film surface was dependent on deposition conditions, such as chemical composition of the precursor materials, precursor feeding rate, and/or substrate temperature.

Diamond-like Carbon(DLC) films have been deposited at Los alamos National Laboratory by pulsed ion beam ablation of graphite targets. the targets are illuminated by an intense beam of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen ions at a fluence of 15-45 J/cm2. Ion energies are on the order of 350 keV, with beam current rising to 35 kA over a 400 ns ion current pulse.
Raman spectra of the deposited films indicate an increasing ratio of sp3 to sp2 bonding as the substrate is moved further away from the target and further off the target normal. Using a thin film platinum resistor at various positions, we have measured the heating of the substrate surface due to the kinetic energy and heat of condensation of the ablated material. Plume power density and energy input are inferred from the temperature measurements. This information is used to determine if substrate heating is responsible for the lack of DLC in positions close to the target and near the target normal.

Availability of optoelectronic components operating in the U V-Visible part of the spectrum opens several exciting and important system applications. Solid state ultraviolet and blue-green lasers can increase the optical data storage density of CDROM/WORM and magneto-optical disks by a factor of four. They are also ideally suited for environmental pollutant identification and monitoring. On the other hand, solid state ultraviolet detectors that do not respond to visible or IR radiation are highly desirable for various commercial systems. These include medical imaging, industrial boiler systems, fire/flame safeguard systems around oil and gas installations and several military applications. A key requirement for these ultraviolet laser and sensor devices is the availability of a semiconductor material system with high quality controlled doping and fabrication technology.
AlxGa1−xN and InxGa1−xN for which the direct bandgap can be tailored from the visible to the deep UV is such a material system. Ours and several other research groups (nationally and internationally) have been developing AlxGa1−xN materials and processing technologies over the past several years. Recently, by employing innovative approaches, significant advances have been made in heteroepitaxy of AlxGa1−xN on sapphire substrates. Also, controlled n and p-type doping has been achieved. Several high performance devices that form the basis of exciting future research have been demonstrated. These include high responsivity visible blind ultraviolet sensors, basic transistor structures and high power blue light emitting diodes. These pave the way for future research leading to exciting products such as blue-green lasers and UV-imaging arrays. The demonstrated transistor structures are foundation for building AlxGa1−xN -GaN based high power, high frequency and high temperature electronic components. In this paper, we will summarize some of our recent work and reflect on the potential and the issues in AlxGa1−xN-InxGa1−xN based device development.

Measurements are presented which show the effect of proton irradiation on the irreversibility line and critical current in Tl2 CaBa2Cu2O8 thin films. These data show that the irreversibility line is dependent on the defect structure and that the pinning energy is increased by proton irradiation. This leads to an increase in the critical current density at 60 K for the lowest radiation dose. Further irradiation reduces the critical current, even while the irreversibility line is enhanced.

Thin films of β- SiC were grown on Si substrates by excimer laser pulse ablation of bulk SiC. The films were examined by Auger electron, X-ray, and photoelectron spectroscopies. The film was smooth as monitored by scanning electron microscopy. Scanning electron and scanning tunneling microscopy showed inclusions in the deposited SiC film and laser ionization mass analysis detected SiC dimers in the vapor plume emitted from the target.
