Elemental profiling and genomewide association studies reveal genomic variants modulating ionomic composition in Populus trichocarpa leaves

Samples were collected from a population of 1,089 black cottonwood genotypes (P. trichocarpa) assembled from native stands to encompass the central portion of the natural range of the species, stretching from 38.8° to 54.3° N Q13 latitude from California, USA, to British Columbia, Canada. Establishment of the common garden, growth conditions, and site maintenance have been described by Muchero et al (2015). In this study, leaf samples for ionomic profiling were collected from 4-year-old trees, during the growing season, in July 2012, from a field located in Clatskanie, Oregon, USA (46°6′11″N 123°12′13″W). The field site was located in a protected alluvial floodplain containing a uniform Wauna-Locoda silt loam soil area characterized by an acidic pH, in Columbia County, Oregon. A subset of 584 out of the 1,089 P. trichocarpa genotypes were represented in this sampling. These genotypes were randomly selected to represent the geographical distribution of the population. A single fully mature (LPI 7-9) leaf on the south side of the tree exposed to full sunlight conditions was removed from the tree within a 6-hour window centering on solar noon and immediately frozen under dry ice before processing. Leaf samples of 584 P. trichocarpa genotypes were finely ground to 40 mm particle size using a mortar and pestle, and ionomic composition was analyzed using ICP-MS. In total, 20 elements were profiled, including aluminum (Al27), arsenic (As75), boron (B11), cadmium (Cd111), calcium (Ca43), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe57), magnesium (Mg25), manganese (Mn55), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni60), phosphorus (P31), potassium (K39), rubidium (Rb85), selenium (Se82), sodium (Na23), strontium (Sr88), sulfur (S34), and zinc (Zn66), following a protocol established by Ziegler et al. (2013). For each sample, 75mg of powder was digested overnight in 2.5 mL HNO3 containing 20 parts per billion (ppb) indium as an internal standard, following the protocol described in Ziegler et al. (2013). Following a dilution, concentration of the 20 elements was measured using an Elan 6000 DRC-e mass spectrometer (Perkin-Elmer SCIEX) connected to a PFA microflow nebulizer (Elemental Scientific) and Apex HF desolvator (Elemental Scientific). One measurement per sample per genotype was done. For subsequent analyses, the quantifications were converted to total element concentration.

Elemental profiling and genome-wide association studies reveal genomic variants modulating ionomic composition in Populus trichocarpa leaves

The ionome represents elemental composition in plant tissues and can be an indicator of nutrient status as well as overall plant performance. Thus, identifying genetic determinants governing elemental uptake and storage is an important goal for breeding and engineering biomass feedstocks with improved performance. In this study, we coupled high-throughput ionome characterization of leaf tissues with high-resolution genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to uncover genetic loci that modulate ionomic composition in leaves of poplar ( Populus trichocarpa ). Significant agreement was observed across the three ionomic profiling platforms tested: inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), neutron activation analysis (NAA) and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Relative quantification of 20 elements using ICP-MS across a population of 584 genotypes, revealed larger variation in micro-nutrients and trace elements content than for macro-nutrients across genotypes. The GWAS performed using a set of high-density (>8.2 million) single nucleotide polymorphisms, identified over 600 loci significantly associated with variations in these mineral elements, pointing to numerous uncharacterized candidate genes. A significant enrichment for genes related to ion homeostasis and transport was observed, including several members of the cation-proton antiporters (CPA) family and MATE efflux transporters, previously reported to be critical for plant growth and fitness in other species. Our results also included a polymorphic copy of the high-affinity molybdenum transporter MOT1 found directly associated to molybdenum content. For the first time in a perennial plant, our results provide evidence of genetic control of mineral content in a model tree species.

Neutron-capture Element Abundances of 491 Stars in Milky Way Dwarf Satellite Galaxies from Medium-resolution Spectra

The chemical compositions of evolved stars in Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) provide insight into the galaxy’s past star formation and nucleosynthesis. Neutron-capture element abundances are especially interesting. In particular, s-process elements can provide a third chemical clock for resolving star formation histories in addition to core-collapse and Type Ia supernovae. Likewise, the primary sites of the r-process are still areas of extensive research. Until now, the number of stars with neutron-capture element abundances in dSphs has been limited by the need for stars bright enough for high-resolution spectroscopy. We present abundance measurements of the neutron-capture elements Sr, Y, Ba, and Eu with errors <0.4 dex—as well as new measurements of Mg—in 491 stars in Sculptor, Fornax, Draco, Sextans, and Ursa Minor. The large number of stars in our sample is possible because we used medium-resolution spectra from the DEIMOS spectrograph, assembling the largest homogeneous set of neutron-capture abundances in dSphs to date. By utilizing the abundances of both s- and r-process elements, we find evidence of an s-process contribution at early times in Sculptor from our measurements of [Ba/Fe]. This is a potential signature of s-process nucleosynthesis in fast-rotating massive stars. By comparing our measurements of [Eu/Fe] with [Mg/Fe], we show the need for an r-process source that has a short delay time to enrich stars in the dSphs. Thus, neutron star mergers are likely not the sole source of r-process material in dSphs.

Creep in multi-principal element materials –– A review

The ongoing push towards enhanced energy efficiency and reduced emissions has necessitated the creation of materials with superior performance, especially under extreme conditions. Modern industries, such as aerospace, energy production, and nuclear power, rely heavily on materials that can withstand elevated temperatures without compromising structural integrity. At these heightened temperatures, materials, even when subjected to mechanical stresses well below their yield strength, may experience slow deformation leading to eventual rupture — a phenomenon known as creep. With the expansive design space that comes with the high entropy concept and their reported excellent high temperature strength, multi-principal element materials (MPEMs) have attracted interest in the scientific community for high-temperature applications. Here, this review offers a comprehensive examination of existing studies on creep in MPEMs, which includes multi-principal element−alloys, −bulk metallic glasses, −ceramics, and −superalloys, comparing published findings on MPEMs with pure elements, traditional alloys, bulk metallic glasses, and superalloys. The sub-topics covered include a comparison among different creep-testing methods, creep mechanisms, creep exponents, creep strain rates, activation volume, and creep-activation energy. Modeling efforts for predicting creep behavior of MPEMs are also reviewed. Methods for improving creep resistance by performing heat treatments and/or modifying microstructures are discussed. Overall, the current state of MPEMs has not yet surpassed the creep performance of commercial alloys. Finally, directions for future efforts are suggested, such as experimenting in various controlled environments, expanding the number of compositions tested, exploring advanced manufacturing techniques, and using machine-learning to predict creep properties based on compositions and microstructures.

Poromechanical cohesive interface element with combined Mode I-II cohesive zone elastoplasticity for simulating fracture in fluid-saturated porous media

A combined Mode I-II cohesive zone (CZ) elasto-plastic constitutive model, and a two-dimensional (2D) cohesive interface element (CIE) are formulated and implemented at small strain within an ABAQUS User Element (UEL) for simulating 2D crack nucleation and propagation in fluid-saturated porous media. Here, the CZ model mitigates problems of convergence for the global Newton-Raphson solver within ABAQUS, which when combined with a viscous stabilization procedure allows for simulation of post-peak response under load control for coupled poromechanical finite element analysis, such as concrete gravity dam stability analysis. Verification examples are presented, along with a more complex ambient limestone-concrete wedge fracture experiment, water-pressurized concrete wedge experiment, and concrete gravity dam stability analyses. A calibration procedure for estimating the CZ parameters is demonstrated with the limestone-concrete wedge fracture process. For the water-pressurized concrete wedge fracture experiment it is shown that the inherent time-dependence of the poromechanical CIE analysis provides a good match with experimental force versus displacement results at various crack mouth opening rates, yet misses the pore water pressure evolution ahead of the crack tip propagation. This is likely a result of the concrete being partially-saturated in the experiment, whereas the finite element analysis assumes fully water saturated concrete. For the concrete gravity dam analysis, it is shown that base crack opening and associated water uplift pressure leads to a reduced Factor of Safety, which is confirmed by separate analytical calculations.

Multi-principal element alloys for fast reactor cladding applications

Given the extensive list of multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) within literature and the overwhelming number of alloys that can be made from only a handful of elements, this article proposes a methodology for prioritizing alloys for use as cladding within advanced reactors. This paper applies neutronic, mechanical, and chemical assessments to a collection of MPEAs available within literature for use as advanced reactor cladding. The results are compared to a reference design of HT9, a ferritic/martensitic steel, for employed in sodium-cooled fast reactor. Mechanical assessments determined pressure limits for a thin-walled tube pressure boundary, thus relating the material's mechanical properties to a minimum acceptable wall thickness. Neutronic analyses reveal a maximum allowable wall thickness that a given material must meet to provide a level of neutronic economy that is equivalent to than that of HT9. Lastly, each alloying element is compared to typical fission products found in a fast reactor fuels to mitigate deleterious phenomena such as fuel-cladding chemical interactions (FCCI). These analyses indicate that Mo-Nb-Ti-V-based alloys are likely to be advantageous and that the inclusion of elements with a high neutronic penalty (e.g., Hf) could be considered with minimal consequences.

Fungal elemental profiling unleashed through rapid laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS)

Elemental profiling of fungal species as a phenotyping tool is an understudied topic and is typically performed to examine plant tissue or non-biological materials. Traditional analytical techniques such as inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) have been used to identify elemental profiles of fungi; however, these techniques can be cumbersome due to the difficulty of preparing samples. Additionally, the instruments used for these techniques can be expensive to procure and operate. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is an alternative elemental analytical technique—one that is sensitive across the periodic table, easy to use on various sample types, and is cost-effective in both procurement and operation. LIBS has not been used on axenic filamentous fungal isolates grown in substrate media. In this work, as a proof of concept, we used LIBS on two genetically distinct fungal species grown on a nutrient-rich and nutrient-poor substrate media to determine whether robust elemental profiles can be detected and whether differences between the fungal isolates can be identified. This data set contains the raw LIBS spectral data for the summarized results described inRush, et. al. 2024

Space-Time Finite Element Tensor Network Approach for the Time-Dependent Convection–Diffusion–Reaction Equation with Variable Coefficients

In this paper, we present a new space-time Galerkin-like method, where we treat the discretization of spatial and temporal domains simultaneously. This method utilizes a mixed formulation of the tensor-train (TT) and quantized tensor-train (QTT) (please see Section Tensor-Train Decomposition), designed for the finite element discretization (Q1-FEM) of the time-dependent convection–diffusion–reaction (CDR) equation. We reformulate the assembly process of the finite element discretized CDR to enhance its compatibility with tensor operations and introduce a low-rank tensor structure for the finite element operators. Recognizing the banded structure inherent in the finite element framework’s discrete operators, we further exploit the QTT format of the CDR to achieve greater speed and compression. Additionally, we present a comprehensive approach for integrating variable coefficients of CDR into the global discrete operators within the TT/QTT framework. The effectiveness of the proposed method, in terms of memory efficiency and computational complexity, is demonstrated through a series of numerical experiments, including a semi-linear example.

Extraction and Separation of Rare-Earth Elements from Coal Fly Ash and Leachate using a Recyclable Ionic Liquid

Coal fly ash (CFA) can be a promising source for recovering rare-earth elements (REEs), as it contains a broad range of REEs with average concentrations frequently exceeding those in traditional rare earth mines. Recent research from our group has demonstrated that REEs can be preferentially extracted from CFA solids using a recyclable ionic liquid (IL), betainium bis-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([Hbet][Tf2N]). When CFA was heated with the mixture of IL and an aqueous solution above 65°C, most leached REEs partitioned into the IL phase and were separated from the bulk elements. Subsequent acid stripping of the REE-loaded IL removed the REEs and regenerated the IL for reuse in multiple extraction cycles. This IL-based REE-CFA recovery method has been applied to ten CFA samples derived from different coal sources, including ash recovered from disposal ponds. Analysis of 34 elements confirmed the process consistently achieved high REE recovery efficiency, with strong selectivity over bulk and trace elements across diverse CFA types. In addition to the IL-solid extraction, the performance of [Hbet][Tf2N] in extracting REEs from fly-ash leachates have been evaluated by four commonly used leaching reagents, including HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, and citrate. During the IL-leachate extraction, [Hbet][Tf2N] was mixed and heated with a Class C fly ash leachate generated from each leaching reagent, followed by an acid stripping. It was observed that the partitioning and recovery of REEs increased as the leachate pH increased from 3 to 11. Among the investigated leachates, HCl and citrate proved to be the most compatible with IL extraction, exhibiting a slightly higher REE recovery and a lower non-REE co-extraction compared to the IL-solid extraction. Sc, Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, and Yb consistently showed a high recovery rate from both CFA solids and leachates. Notably, Pr, Tb, and Ho, which were not previously leached from the CFA solids, were partially recovered from the leachates. Overall, our studies revealed the strong potential of [Hbet][Tf2N] for effectively recovering REEs from leachates, highlighting its applicability as a sustainable strategy for other aqueous REE feedstocks. Furthermore, a techno-economic analysis will be performed to quantify the economic viability of the IL-based REE recovery method and guide future process improvement.

Grain boundary segregation and chemical ordering in CoCrFeMnNi multi-principal element alloy

Owing to their far-from-dilute compositions, multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) can exhibit unique combinations of engineering properties. As nearly all MPEAs are polycrystalline aggregates, it is necessary to understand the interactions of various elemental species with grain boundaries (GBs). This is of particular importance in extreme environments, such as radiation and elevated temperatures, where such interactions have implications on the properties of MPEAs. Herein, we employ atomistic simulations to generate a series of [001] asymmetric tilt GBs in a model CoCrFeMnNi MPEA and quantify solute interactions and segregation to these boundaries. We employ the Warren-Cowley order parameters to investigate the interplay between GB segregation and chemical short-range order (SRO). At temperatures above 800 K, simulation results reveal the segregation of Cr and Mn to CoCrFeMnNi GBs and show weak dependence of boundary solute excess on GB geometry, at least for the boundaries explored in this work. At temperatures in the range of 673–800 K, formation of domains rich in Cr is observed at GBs in agreement with experimental observations. Quantitative analysis shows that solute excess of various alloying elements decreases rapidly with the increase in temperature in the range of 1000–1200 K. Furthermore, we show that GB regions exhibit SRO characteristics that are distinct from the bulk crystals, leading to spatial variations in SRO. In broad terms, our study highlights the need to account for GB interactions with alloying elements when designing advanced MPEAs with novel chemistries.

Trace elements and their isotopes in streams and rivers

The occurrence and speciation of trace elements in streams and rivers are controlled by interconnected hydrogeological, biogeochemical, and anthropogenic factors that include rock weathering, climate, vegetation, and land use within the watershed. This chapter provides a broad overview of trace element abundance, speciation, and mobility in streams and rivers, including an assessment of how trace elements are partitioned into dissolved, colloidal, and particulate phases. We also discuss how trace elements are mobilized into stream networks and transformed during transport. Select isotopic systems are reviewed to provide examples of how isotopic analyses can be used to understand geochemical and anthropogenic processes.

Analysis of Line Distance Elements for Various Ibr Controllers and System Conditions

The large-scale penetration of inverter-based resources in power systems has challenged protection engineers because of the different fault behaviors these sources provide compared to conventional generation systems. The main challenges include a low level of fault current magnitude, unpredictable angles of sequence currents, and lack of inertia that can lead to maloperation of conventional phasor-based protection elements. This paper presents a sensitivity analysis of transmission line distance protection elements during phase-to-ground and phase-to-phase faults for different inverter controllers and power system conditions. It also summarizes which line protection elements remain secure near IBR terminations and identifies the ones affected by the inverter-based response. The paper concludes by highlighting that regulating negative-sequence current injection during the fault aids correct protection decisions, but does not address the entire challenge. Finally, alternative protection elements to those affected by the inverter fault response are discussed.

First measurement of polarized spin-density matrix elements and differential cross sections dσ/dt in ω photoproduction off the proton for 2.7 < Eγ < 5.2 GeV using CLAS at Jefferson Lab

We report on the differential cross sections dσ/dt, the unpolarized spin-density matrix elements ρ 00 0 , ρ 1 − 1 0 , Re ρ 10 0 , and the first extraction of the polarized elements Im ρ 10 3 , Im ρ 1 − 1 3 for the reaction γp → pω using the CLAS spectrometer at Jefferson Laboratory. The ω mesons were detected in their dominant charged decay mode, ω → π + π − π 0 , and all t-dependent results are presented in a fine binning for incident photon energies between 2.73 and 5.16 GeV (corresponding to the center-of-mass energy range W ∈ [ 2.45, 3.25 ] GeV). All matrix elements are first measurements for − t > 0.6 GeV2. Moreover, differential cross sections dσ/d(cos Θ c . m . ω ) and the corresponding angle-dependent unpolarized spin-density matrix elements in the Adair frame are presented for the incident photon energy range 1.56–3.80 GeV (corresponding to W ∈ [ 1.95, 2.83 ] GeV). These new ω photoproduction data are consistent with earlier CLAS results but extend the energy range well beyond the nucleon resonance region into the Regge regime. The comparison with Regge-theory-based model predictions shows that the new data impose more stringent constraints on our understanding of ω photoproduction.

Real-Time Elemental and Isotopic Measurements of Molten Salt Systems through Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Molten salt reactors are an emerging advanced nuclear reactor concept in which the fuel is dissolved into the working fluid in the form of a high-temperature molten salt. The complex, mobile, and corrosive nature of this fluid presents a fundamental challenge for analytical measurements. Tracking species throughout the reactor is important for ensuring proper operation. This article presents laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) used to monitor the elemental composition of a molten salt and corresponding hydrogen isotopic shifts in real-time. A NaNO 3 –KNO 3 eutectic salt was saturated with protium and deuterium gases, then the effluent aerosol stream formed using an argon sparging vessel was monitored with LIBS. This modular LIBS system permitted several spectrometers to be used simultaneously to capture high-resolution isotopic shifts and provide broadband elemental coverage. Further, the results exhibit how LIBS can be used to understand salt–gas chemical and physical interactions such as diffusion. Furthermore, LIBS’ broad elemental coverage can provide greater insight into the chemical reactions within the salt vessel such as the formation of water vapor by monitoring hydrogen and oxygen signatures simultaneously. Ultimately, this study demonstrates the analytical possibilities of LIBS for real-time monitoring of isotopes and elemental composition in molten salt systems.

Pressurized Gas-Driven Elemental Redistribution Enables Ultrastable PtNi Catalysts for Heavy-Duty Vehicles

Gas-driven element redistribution, characterized by the preferential enrichment of one element at the surface relative to the bulk, is frequently observed in multicomponent alloys. Using L1 0 -ordered PtNi as a model system, we reveal that gas pressure plays a critical role in governing adsorption-driven surface composition during annealing in reducing gases: low pressure favors Pt surface segregation, while high pressure facilitates Ni surface enrichment. In this study, we developed a high-pressure nitriding (HPN) strategy that modulates the surface structure and composition of PtNi catalysts. The resulting HPN-PtNi exhibits enhanced performance and durability in membrane electrode assemblies for heavy-duty fuel cell applications, maintaining a high current density of 1.19 A cm −2 at 0.7 V after 90,000 voltage cycles. Through a combination of experimental and theoretical analyses, we reveal that the HPN process forms additional stabilizing Ni−N bonds and induces elemental redistribution with Ni surface enrichment and a Ni-deficient Pt subsurface. These modifications alter the atomic coordination environment of the ordered PtNi phase. This work presents a generalizable strategy to design robust and high-performing Pt-based catalysts by controlling gas-pressure-driven elemental redistribution and dopant incorporation.

Data-driven multi-element substitution of TiFe alloys for tunable thermodynamics and enhanced activation behaviour for hydrogen storage

Due to their high volumetric hydrogen storage capacity under moderate storage conditions, TiFe alloys have been widely investigated as candidates for practical solid-state hydrogen storage. Partially substituting Ti or Fe sites can improve the key characteristics of TiFe alloys, such as the first hydrogen absorption step (activation) and the equilibrium hydrogen pressure (thermodynamic properties). However, the selection of substitution elements has heavily relied on intuition and trial-and-error. Also, conventional substitution strategies have mainly focused on single-element substitution within the TiFe alloy, limiting the design space and tunability for target applications. Here, to address this limitation, we report a multi-element substitution strategy motivated by an efficient, data-driven machine learning (ML) approach combined with corroborating density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Our models successfully predict experimentally measured hydride stability in five selected alloys using only compositional descriptors. Most importantly, the multi-element substitution leads to enhanced activation properties compared to pure TiFe, achieving near room-temperature activation behaviour. This work provides a method for on-demand tuning of hydrogen storage and activation properties, which may have broad implications for data-driven discovery of energy storage materials.
