Viewgraphs are presented on the structures technology for the Earth orbiting platforms program. The objective of the work is to develop component and system level structural concepts and design methods to enable in-space construction and deployment of large platform structures in low earth orbit (LEO) and geosynchronous orbit (GEO) including primary platform structures, reflectors and antenna, and habitat and storage modules.
Background Papers on COVID-19 are being published at a high rate and concern many different topics. Innovative tools are needed to aid researchers to find patterns in this vast amount of literature to identify subsets of interest in an automated fashion. Objective We present a new online software resource with a friendly user interface that allows users to query and interact with visual representations of relationships between publications. Methods We publicly released an application called PLATIPUS (Publication Literature Analysis and Text Interaction Platform for User Studies) that allows researchers to interact with literature supplied by COVIDScholar via a visual analytics platform. This tool contains standard filtering capabilities based on authors, journals, high-level categories, and various research-specific details via natural language processing and dozens of customizable visualizations that dynamically update from a researcher’s query. Results PLATIPUS is available online and currently links to over 100,000 publications and is still growing. This application has the potential to transform how COVID-19 researchers use public literature to enable their research. Conclusions The PLATIPUS application provides the end user with a variety of ways to search, filter, and visualize over 100,00 COVID-19 publications.</:p>
The potential consequences of nuclear events and the complexity of nuclear waste management motivate the development of selective solid-phase sorbents to provide enhanced protection. Herein, we show that two dimensional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with unique structures possess all the traits to be well-suited as a platform for the deployment of highly efficient sorbents such that they exhibit remarkable performance, as demonstrated by uranium capture. The chelating groups laced on the open one dimensional channels exhibit exceptional accessibility, allowing significantly higher utilization efficiency. In addition, the two dimensional extended polygons packed closely in an eclipsed fashion bring chelating groups in adjacent layers parallel to each other, which may facilitate their cooperation, thereby leading to high affinity towards specific ions. As a result, the amidoxime functionalized COFs far outperform their corresponding amorphous analogues in terms of adsorption capacities, kinetics, and affinities

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) diacrylate copolymer networks containing pentafluorophenyl active esters can be quantitatively substituted with a wide variety of primary amines, enabling the development of a versatile synthetic platform for the preparation of polymer hydrogel and membrane libraries. Here, by tuning the starting network, a high degree of control over cross-linking density, water uptake, and functional group incorporation can be reproducibly achieved, which is vital for elucidating structure–property relationships in ion transporting membranes. From the same cross-linked scaffold, a diversity of basic, acidic, and solute-chelating moieties were obtained through functionalization, which allows for tailored uptake of basic and acidic organic dyes and metal chloride salts. Ion permeation and sorption measurements for a series of polymer networks with controlled cross-linking density and varied imidazole grafting densities illustrate the ability of this platform to isolate the effect of chemical functionality on ion transport from the effects of cross-linking density and water content.
Nanoscale or single cell technologies are critical for biomedical applications. However, current mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic approaches require samples comprising a minimum of thousands of cells to provide in-depth profiling. Here, we report the development of a nanoPOTS (Nanodroplet Processing in One pot for Trace Samples) platform as a major advance in overall sensitivity. NanoPOTS dramatically enhances the efficiency and recovery of sample processing by downscaling processing volumes to <200 nL to minimize surface losses. When combined with ultrasensitive LC-MS, nanoPOTS allows identification of ~1500 to ~3,000 proteins from ~10 to ~140 cells, respectively. By incorporating the Match Between Runs algorithm of MaxQuant, >3000 proteins were consistently identified from as few as 10 cells. Furthermore, we demonstrate robust quantification of ~2400 proteins from single human pancreatic islet thin sections from type 1 diabetic and control donors, illustrating the application of nanoPOTS for spatially resolved proteome measurements from clinical tissues.
Recent years have witnessed the exploration and synthesis of an increasing number of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). The utilization of stable MOFs as a platform for catalysis and biomimetics is discussed.
When electrified transit systems make grid aware choices, improved social welfare is achieved by reducing grid stress, reducing system loss, and minimizing power quality issues. Electrifying transit fleet has numerous challenges like non availability of buses during charging, varying charging costs and so on, that are related the electric grid behavior. However, transit systems do not have access to the information about the co-evolution of the grid's power flow and therefore cannot account for the power grid's needs in its day-to-day operation. In this paper we propose a framework of transportation-grid co-simulation, analyzing the spatio-temporal interaction between the transit operations with electric buses and the power distribution grid. Real-world data for a day's traffic from Chattanooga city's transit system is simulated in SUMO and integrated with a realistic distribution grid simulation (using GridLAB-D) to understand the grid impact due to transit electrification. Charging information is obtained from the transportation simulation to feed into grid simulation to assess the impact of charging. We also discuss the impact to the grid with higher degree of transit electrification that further necessitates such an integrated transportation-grid co-simulation to operate the integrated system optimally. Our future work includes extending the platform for optimizing the charging and trip assignment operations.
The programmatic data for the reference concept of the Manned Space Platform is presented. Details regarding work breakdown structure (WBS) and dictionary, the facilities and equipment required to produce the modules, the project schedule and logic diagram, a preliminary assessment of environmental impacts and details regarding the estimated costs for the reference concept are included. The proposed WBS which was developed to provide summary and system level segregation of the nonrecurring and recurring portions of the Manned Space Platform project is also included. The accompanying dictionary outlines the function and activities contained within each WBS element. The facility and equipment required to produce the various modules is discussed. Generally, required equipment is within the existing state of the art although the size of some of the items to be manufactured is a consideration. A preliminary manufacturing flow was also provided.

The synthesis, structural and spectroscopic characterization of the first transplutonium metal-organic framework (MOF) is described. The preparation and structure of Am GWMOF-6, [Am2(C6H8O4)3(H2O)2][(C10H8N2)], is analogous to that of the isostructural trivalent lanthanide-only containing material GWMOF-6. The presented MOF architecture is used as a plat-form to probe Am3+ coordination chemistry and guest-enhanced luminescent emission, whereas the framework itself provided a means to monitor the effects of self-irradiation upon crystallinity over time. Presented here is a discussion of these properties and the opportunities that metal-organic frameworks provide in the structural and spectroscopic study of actinides.

Herein, we describe a novel multifunctional metal–organic framework (MOF) materials platform that displays both porosity and tunable emission properties as a function of the metal identity (Eu, Nd, and tuned compositions of Nd/Yb). Their emission collectively spans the deep red to near-infrared (NIR) spectral region (~614–1350 nm), which is highly relevant for in vivo bioimaging. These new materials meet important prerequisites as relevant to biological processes: they are minimally toxic to living cells and retain structural integrity in water and phosphate-buffered saline. To assess their viability as optical bioimaging agents, we successfully synthesized the nanoscale Eu analog as a proof-of-concept system in this series. In vitro studies show that it is cell-permeable in individual RAW 264.7 mouse macrophage and HeLa human cervical cancer tissue culture cells. The efficient discrimination between the Eu emission and cell autofluorescence was achieved with hyperspectral confocal fluorescence microscopy, used here for the first time to characterize MOF materials. Importantly, this is the first report that documents the long-term conservation of the intrinsic emission in live cells of a fluorophore-based MOF to date (up to 48 h). As a result this finding, in conjunction with the materials’ very low toxicity, validates the biocompatibility in these systems and qualifies them as promising for use in long-term tracking and biodistribution studies.
In the design of stronger chitin fibers reinforced with poly(lactic acid) (PLA), during this work, an ionic-liquid-based (IL-based) approach was developed in which both polymers were codissolved in an 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C 2 mim][OAc]) and wet-jet spun into composite fibers. Chitin, directly extracted from shrimp shell, had a solubility in the IL of 2.75 wt %, while PLA of MW 700 000 g/mol had a solubility of 49 wt %. Keeping the IL saturated in chitin, homogeneous solutions of chitin and PLA could be obtained up to 27 wt % (relative to the IL) PLA. Spinning dopes were prepared by maintaining the chitin concentration relative to the IL at 1.75 wt % and adding PLA in chitin to PLA weight ratios of 1:0.1 through 1:1 (PLA concentrations of 0.175–1.75 wt % relative to the IL). Homogeneous chitin/PLA fibers could be spun when the chitin to PLA ratio was between 1:0.1 and 1:0.3. The tensile strength and plasticity of the fibers depended on the chitin to PLA ratio with the highest plasticity (8.8% vs 3.0% for pure chitin fibers), strength (112 vs 71 MPa), and stiffness (5.9 vs 4.2 GPa) observed for fibers with a chitin to PLA ratio of 1:0.3. Studies of the fracturing surface of the fibers indicated that fracturing occurred through an initial disruption of the interactions between polymer chains, followed by complete fiber breakage. The work not only demonstrates that homogeneous composite fibers can be spun using a biopolymer and PLA additive, but also suggests a versatile platform for preparation of multiple biopolymer–PLA materials using solution processing methods.
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is a key interaction in spintronics, allowing electrical control of spin or magnetization and, vice versa, magnetic control of electrical current. However, recent advances have revealed much broader implications of SOC that is also central to the design of topological states with potential applications from low-energy dissipation and faster magnetization switching to high tolerance of disorder. SOC and the resulting emergent interfacial spin-orbit fields are simply realized in junctions through structural inversion asymmetry, while the anisotropy in magnetoresistance (MR) allows their experimental detection. Surprisingly, we demonstrate that an all-epitaxial ferromagnet/MgO/metal junction with a single ferromagnetic region and only negligible MR anisotropy undergoes a remarkable transformation below the superconducting transition temperature of the metal. The superconducting junction has a MR anisotropy 3 orders of magnitude higher and could enable novel applications in superconducting spintronics. In contrast to common realizations of MR effects that require a finite applied magnetic field, our system is designed to have two stable zero-field states with mutually orthogonal magnetizations: in plane and out of plane. This bistable magnetic anisotropy allows us to rule out orbital and vortex effects due to an applied magnetic field and identify the SOC origin of the observed MR. Such MR reaches approximately 20% without an applied magnetic field and could be further increased for large magnetic fields that support vortices. Our findings call for a revisit of the role of SOC, even when it seems negligible in the normal state, and suggest an alternative platform for superconducting spintronics.
