The U.S. Department of Agriculture–Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) has been a leader in weed science research covering topics ranging from the development and use of integrated weed management (IWM) tactics to basic mechanistic studies, including biotic resistance of desirable plant communities and herbicide resistance. ARS weed scientists have worked in agricultural and natural ecosystems, including agronomic and horticultural crops, pastures, forests, wild lands, aquatic habitats, wetlands, and riparian areas. Through strong partnerships with academia, state agencies, private industry, and numerous federal programs, ARS weed scientists have made contributions to discoveries in the newest fields of robotics and genetics, as well as the traditional and fundamental subjects of weed–crop competition and physiology and integration of weed control tactics and practices. Weed science at ARS is often overshadowed by other research topics; thus, few are aware of the long history of ARS weed science and its important contributions. This review is the result of a symposium held at the Weed Science Society of America’s 62nd Annual Meeting in 2022 that included 10 separate presentations in a virtual Weed Science Webinar Series. The overarching themes of management tactics (IWM, biological control, and automation), basic mechanisms (competition, invasive plant genetics, and herbicide resistance), and ecosystem impacts (invasive plant spread, climate change, conservation, and restoration) represent core ARS weed science research that is dynamic and efficacious and has been a significant component of the agency’s national and international efforts. This review highlights current studies and future directions that exemplify the science and collaborative relationships both within and outside ARS. Given the constraints of weeds and invasive plants on all aspects of food, feed, and fiber systems, there is an acknowledged need to face new challenges, including agriculture and natural resources sustainability, economic resilience and reliability, and societal health and well-being.

Background:
Identification of evidence-based factors related to status of the clinical research professional (CRP) workforce at academic medical centers (AMCs) will provide context for National Center for Advancing Translational Science (NCATS) policy considerations and guidance. The objective of this study is to explore barriers and opportunities related to the recruitment and retention of the CRP workforce.
Materials and Methods:Qualitative data from a series of Un-Meeting breakout sessions and open-text survey questions were analyzed to explore barriers and recommendations for improving AMC CRP recruitment, retention and diversity.
Results:While certain institutions have established competency-based frameworks for job descriptions, standardization remains generally lacking across CTSAs. AMCs report substantial increases in unfilled CRP positions leading to operational instability. Data confirmed an urgent need for closing gaps in CRP workforce at AMCs, especially for attracting, training, retaining, and diversifying qualified personnel. Improved collaboration with human resource departments, engagement with principal investigators, and overcoming both organizational and resource challenges were suggested strategies, as well as development of outreach to universities, community colleges, and high schools raising awareness of CRP career pathways.
Discussion:Based on input from 130 CRP leaders at 35 CTSAs, four National Institute of General Medical Sciences’ Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program sites, along with industry and government representatives, we identified several barriers to successful recruitment and retention of a highly trained and diverse CRP workforce. Results, including securing institutional support, champions, standardizing and adopting proven national models, improving local institutional policies to facilitate CRP hiring and job progression point to potential solutions.

The effects of the plant growth regulator thidiazuron and the plant pathogen Colletotrichum coccodes on ethylene synthesis by velvetleaf and prickly sida were investigated. Untreated velvetleaf seedlings produced 1.5 and 2.3 pmol ethylene/mg fresh weight 24 and 48 h after treatment. Treatment with thidiazuron at 200 g ai/ha or C. coccodes at 1 × 109 spores/m2 increased ethylene production by 4.9 and 3.5 pmol/mg, respectively, in 24 h; and by 10.6 and 15.8 pmol/mg, respectively, in 48 h. Combination treatments caused synergistic increases in ethylene production by velvetleaf seedlings of 17.7 and 49.6 pmol/mg in 24 and 48 h, respectively. Thidiazuron at 10 μM, combined with an extract of C. coccodes mycelia, increased ethylene synthesis by more than 4-fold in vacuum-infiltrated excised velvetleaf petioles within 48 h. Thidiazuron at 50 g/ha, combined with an extract of C. coccodes mycelium, increased ethylene synthesis 16-fold in prickly sida seedlings in 24 h. Aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid (ACC), a precursor of ethylene, stimulated ethylene production by velvetleaf petioles more than 8-fold when supplied at 0.75 mM; thidiazuron and the pathogen effects were not discernible in its presence. Aminoethoxyvinyl-glycine (AVG), an inhibitor of ACC synthase, inhibited overall ethylene production by velvetleaf seedlings more than 40% when supplied at 0.58 to 0.67 mM, without obscuring the stimulatory effects of thidiazuron and the pathogen. These results indicate that the growth regulator and the plant pathogen or an extract of the pathogen act in concert to increase ethylene synthesis in velvetleaf. Stimulation probably occurs before the synthesis of ACC in the ethylene biosynthetic pathway.

The growth retardant activity of MBR 18337 {N-[4-(ethylthio)-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-methanesulfonamide} was determined by injection into bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L. ‘Black Valentine’), California privet seedlings (Ligustrum ovalifolium Hassk.), and saplings of white ash (Fraxinus americana L.) and red maple (Acer rubrum L.). Height and leaf expansion of bean were inhibited by 8 μg of MBR 18337 per plant in growth chamber studies. Sprout growth of California privet grown in the greenhouse was inhibited for 92 days by 80 μg of MBR 18337 per tree, and the growth in the field of ash and maple saplings was retarded by 3.2 mg of MBR 18337 per tree for an entire growing season with little injury. Radioassays for 14C-MBR 18337 indicated rapid translocation of 14C-activity in privet from the lower stem to the region of the apical shoot. More than 80% of the MBR 18337 in the xylem and phloem was oxidized within 14 days.

The plant pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum coccodes (Cc) and the plant growth regulator thidiazuron (TDZ) were evaluated in Maryland and Quebec for velvetleaf control in ‘Williams' and ‘Maple Arrow’ soybean. TDZ was applied at 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 kg ai/ha alone or was combined with Cc at 109 spores/m2 when velvetleaf was at the 1- to 2-leaf (Trial 1) or 4- to 6-leaf (Trial 2) growth stages. Velvetleaf control increased with TDZ rate, and TDZ combined with Cc further increased control. TDZ reduced velvetleaf biomass and height, and Cc increased velvetleaf mortality. In Quebec, Cc also reduced the biomass of velvetleaf treated in Trial 1 and interacted positively with TDZ at this growth stage. Cc nearly halved the rates of TDZ required for 90 and 75% mortality of velvetleaf treated at the 1- to 2-leaf and 4- to 6-leaf stages to 0.09 and 0.12 kg/ha, respectively, in Quebec. Cc similarly lowered the rate of TDZ required for 75% stand reduction of velvetleaf in Trial 1 to 0.17 kg/ha in Maryland. Cool wet weather in Quebec contrasted with warm, dry weather in Maryland. Soybean biomass and yield were increased significantly by treatment with TDZ plus Cc in Trial 1 at both locations.

The growth of two mallow family weeds, velvetleaf and prickly sida, was inhibited 50% when seedlings were treated with less than 200 g ai/ha of thidiazuron. Spurred anoda was unaffected by treatment with up to 1120 g/ha of thidiazuron. Cotton, okra, and hibiscus, all in the mallow family, also were susceptible to thidiazuron treatment. Leaf development in 2-week-old cotton seedlings was inhibited 20% by less than 35 g/ha thidiazuron as were seedling okra and hibiscus. Plants of all these susceptible species were more resistant when grown for 2 months before treatment. Seedlings of soybean displayed localized injury after treatment, but plant height, biomass, and seed production were not significantly affected 10 weeks after treatment with up to 1120 g/ha thidiazuron. Seedlings of corn appeared unaffected by treatment with up to 1120 g/ha thidiazuron.

Burnout symptoms, which are characterized by exhaustion, cynicism, and a reduced sense of professional efficacy, may deleteriously affect cognitive function in military personnel. A total of 32 U.S. Military Special Operations personnel enrolled in Survival School completed measures of trauma history, dissociation, and burnout before training. They then completed the Groton Maze Learning Test (GMLT), a neuropsychological measure of integrative visuospatial executive function during three field-based phases of Survival School—enemy evasion, captivity/interrogation, and escape/release from captivity. Lower pre-training perceptions of professional efficacy were associated with reduced executive function during all of the field-based phases of Survival School, even after adjustment for years of education, cynicism, and baseline GMLT scores. Magnitudes of decrements in executive function in Marines with low efficacy relative to those with high efficacy increased as training progressed and ranged from .58 during enemy evasion to .99 during escape/release from captivity. Pre-training perceptions of burnout may predict visuospatial executive function during naturalistic training-related stress in military personnel. Assessment of burnout symptoms, particularly perceptions of professional efficacy, may help identify military personnel at risk for stress-related executive dysfunction. (JINS, 2011, 17, 494–501)

The three-dimensional nanostructured SiO2-based microshells of diatoms have been converted into nanocrystalline BaTiO3 via a series of shape-preserving reactions. The microshells, obtained as diatomaceous earth, were first exposed to a surfactant-induced dissolution/reprecipitation process [C.E. Fowler, et al., Chem. Phys. Lett.398, 414 (2004)] to enhance the microshell surface area, without altering the microshell shape. The SiO2 microshells were then converted into anatase TiO2 replicas via reaction with TiF4 gas and then humid oxygen. Hydrothermal reaction with a barium hydroxide-bearing solution then yielded three-dimensional nanocrystalline microshell replicas composed of BaTiO3. The enhanced surface area of the surfactant-treated microshells resulted in faster conversion into phase-pure BaTiO3 at 100 °C.

In stably stratified flow over a three-dimensional hill, we can define a dividing streamline that separates those streamlines that pass around the hill from those that pass over the hill. The height Hs of this dividing streamline can be estimated by Sheppard's simple energy argument; fluid parcels originating far upstream of a hill at an elevation above Hs have sufficient kinetic energy to rise over the top, whereas those below Hs must pass around the sides. This prediction provides the basis for analysing an extensive range of laboratory observations and measurements of stably stratified flow over a variety of shapes and orientations of hills and with different upwind density and velocity profiles. For symmetric hills and small upwind shear, Sheppard's expression provides a good estimate for Hs. For highly asymmetric flow and/or in the presence of strong upwind shear, the expression provides a lower limit for Hs. As the hills become more nearly two-dimensional, these experiments become less well defined because steady-state conditions take progressively longer to be established. The results of new studies are presented here of the development of the unsteady flow upwind of two-dimensional hills in a finite-length towing tank. These measurements suggest that a very long tank would be required for steady-state conditions to be established upstream of long ridges with or without small gaps and cast doubt upon the validity of previous laboratory studies.

Controlled-shape BaTiO3-based microparticles were synthesized with the use of diatom microshells (frustules) as templates. The SiO2-based frustules of Aulacoseira diatoms were first converted into MgO-based replicas via a gas/solid displacement reaction at 900°C. A BaTiO3 coating was then applied to the MgO-bearing frustules by a sol-gel process. After firing at 700°C for 1.5 h, a conformal nanocrystalline coating of BaTiO3was generated on the surfaces of the MgO-bearing frustules. The underlying MgO scaffolds were then selectively dissolved away to yield freestanding 3-D BaTiO3-based replicas of the original Aulacoseira diatom frustules. This work demonstrates that microparticles with well-controlled 3-D morphologies and non-natural multicomponent ceramic compositions can be produced by merging the self-assembly ability of biomineralizing micro-organisms with synthetic chemical tailoring.

Many U.S. Army systems, such as ground vehicles and fully equipped soldiers, are comprised of multiple subcomponents which each typically perform unique functions. Combining these functions into single, multifunctional components could reduce mass and improve overall system efficiency. In particular, creating structural materials that also provide power generating or energy storing capacity could provide significant weight savings over a range of platforms. In this study, structural composite batteries, fuel cells, and capacitors are proposed. To ensure performance benefits, these multifunctional composites are designed so that the materials involved in power and energy processes are also load bearing, rather than simply packaged within monofunctional structural materials. Fabrication and design details for these multifunctional systems, as well as structural and power/energy performance results, are reported. Critical material properties and fabrication considerations are highlighted, and important technical challenges are identified.

Continuous flow electrophoresis employs an electric field to separate biological cells suspended in a flowing liquid buffer solution. Good separations based on differences in electrophoretic mobility are obtained only when a unidirectional flow is maintained. The desired flow has a parabolic structure in the narrow dimension of the chamber and is uniform across the width, except near the edges where the no-slip condition prevails. However, because of buoyancy, very small lateral or axial temperature gradients deform the flow significantly. The results of experiments conducted with a specially instrumented chamber show the origin and structure of the buoyancy-driven perturbations. It is found that very small temperature gradients can disturb the flow significantly, as was predicted by earlier theoretical work.
