Temperature-dependent mechanism on hardening mitigation in thermomechanically processed 800H alloys under neutron irradiation

Irradiation induced hardening is commonly observed in structural materials, and is often associated with the degraded ductility. This study explores the role of thermomechanical processing (TMP) in mitigating irradiation-induced hardening in Incoloy 800H. The radiation response of solution-annealed and TMP-treated samples was systematically investigated to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of hardening reduction. Neutron irradiation was performed on solution-annealed and TMP-treated samples at 359, 431, and 580 °C, revealing consistently lower hardening in TMP samples. Microstructural characterization compared dislocation loops, cavities, clusters, and precipitates to assess their contributions to hardening. The strengthening contributions from individual microstructural features were estimated, and the microstructure-derived yield strength is consistent with the hardness-converted yield strength. The microstructure–properties correlation revealed the temperature-dependent primary hardening mechanism: dislocation loops dominated at lower temperature, whereas Ni3(Al,Ti) γ′ precipitates were predominant at higher temperature. TMP reduced radiation-induced hardening through two mechanisms: (1) increased sink strength from dislocations and Ti(C,N) precipitates limited dislocation loop formation at lower temperatures, and (2) reduced Ti solute within the matrix in TMP samples suppressed γ′ precipitate formation at higher temperatures. These findings identify the mechanisms governing radiation-induced hardening across different temperatures, which lays the foundation for TMP optimization for the development of advanced radiation-tolerant materials.

Multi-module-based CVAE to predict HVCM faults in the SNS accelerator

We present a multi-module framework based on Conditional Variational Autoencoder (CVAE) to detect anomalies in the power signals coming from multiple High Voltage Converter Modulators (HVCMs). We condition the model with the specific modulator type to capture different representations of the $\mathcal{normal}$ waveforms and to improve the sensitivity of the model to identify a specific type of fault when we have limited samples for a given module type. We studied several Artificial Neural Network (ANN) architectures for our CVAE model and evaluated the model performance by looking at their loss landscape for stability and generalization. Our results for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) experimental data show that the trained model generalizes well to detecting multiple fault types for several HVCM module types. The results of this study can be used to improve the HVCM reliability and overall SNS uptime.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of high Mn-containing ferritic-martensitic alloys exposed to cyclical thermal treatment

Substantial residual tensile stress tends to accumulate in currently available high-Cr ferritic martensitic steels that are subjected to cyclical heat treatment, which leads to premature brittle fracture. By tailoring the alloy composition, this thermal cycling can be exploited to induce a high number density of nanoprecipitates and phase transformations countering residual tensile stresses. In this work, three new variants of ferritic-martensitic steels have been designed with computational thermodynamics to meet the goals of mitigating residual tensile stresses by lowering martensite start temperatures and of enhancing mechanical strength and irradiation sink strength by increasing the number density of nanoprecipitates. Furthermore, ctenast materials were subjected to cyclical heat treatment. The thermally cycled samples were evaluated with mechanical testing and microstructural analysis to identify the optimal composition in which figures of merit include low residual stress and a high density of nanoscale MX (M = metal, X = C/N) precipitates, leading to high yield strength with reasonable ductility. The noticeably higher density of nanoprecipitates in the optimal alloy favor its higher yield strength, which is supported by the microstructure-derived yield strength calculation and precipitation kinetics simulation.

Multiscale Characterization of the Influence of the Organic–Inorganic Interface on the Dielectric Breakdown of Nanocomposites

Nanoscale engineered materials such as nanocomposites can display or be designed to enhance their material properties through control of the internal interfaces. In this report we unveil the nanoscale origin and important characteristics of the enhanced dielectric breakdown capabilities of gold nanoparticle/polymer nanocomposites. Our multiscale approach spans from the study of a single chemically designed organic/inorganic interface to micrometer-thick films. At the nanoscale, we relate the improved breakdown strength to the interfacial charge retention capability by combining scanning probe measurements and density functional theory calculations. At the meso- and macroscales, our findings highlight the relevance of the nanoparticle concentration and distribution in determining and enhancing the dielectric properties, as well as identifying this as a crucial limiting factor for the achievable sample size.

The influence of Hickson-like compact group environment on galaxy luminosities

Compact groups of galaxies are devised as extreme environments where interactions may drive galaxy evolution. In this work, we analysed whether the luminosities of galaxies inhabiting compact groups differ from those of galaxies in loose galaxy groups. We computed the luminosity functions of galaxy populations inhabiting a new sample of 1412 Hickson-like compact groups of galaxies identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 16. We observed a characteristic absolute magnitude for galaxies in compact groups brighter than that observed in the field or loose galaxy systems. We also observed a deficiency of faint galaxies in compact groups in comparison with loose systems. Our analysis showed that the brightening is mainly due to galaxies inhabiting the more massive compact groups. In contrast to what is observed in loose systems, where only the luminosities of Red (and Early) galaxies show a dependency with group mass, luminosities of Red and Blue (also Early and Late) galaxies in compact groups are affected similarly as a function of group virial mass. When using Hubble types, we observed that elliptical galaxies in compact groups are the brightest galaxy population, and groups dominated by an elliptical galaxy also display the brightest luminosities in comparison with those dominated by spiral galaxies. Moreover, we show that the general luminosity trends can be reproduced using a mock catalogue obtained from a semi-analytical model of galaxy formation. These results suggest that the inner extreme environment in compact groups prompts a different evolutionary history for their galaxies.

Meanders as a scaling motif for understanding of floodplain soil microbiome and biogeochemical potential at the watershed scale

Abstract Background Biogeochemical exports from watersheds are modulated by the activity of microorganisms that function over micron scales. Here, we tested the hypothesis that meander-bound regions share a core microbiome and exhibit patterns of metabolic potential that broadly predict biogeochemical processes in floodplain soils along a river corridor. Results We intensively sampled the microbiomes of floodplain soils located in the upper, middle, and lower reaches of the East River, Colorado. Despite the very high microbial diversity and complexity of the soils, we reconstructed 248 quality draft genomes representative of subspecies. Approximately one third of these bacterial subspecies was detected across all three locations at similar abundance levels, and ~ 15% of species were detected in two consecutive years. Within the meander-bound floodplains, we did not detect systematic patterns of gene abundance based on sampling position relative to the river. However, across meanders, we identified a core floodplain microbiome that is enriched in capacities for aerobic respiration, aerobic CO oxidation, and thiosulfate oxidation with the formation of elemental sulfur. Given this, we conducted a transcriptomic analysis of the middle floodplain. In contrast to predictions made based on the prominence of gene inventories, the most highly transcribed genes were relatively rare amoCAB and nxrAB (for nitrification) genes, followed by genes involved in methanol and formate oxidation, and nitrogen and CO 2 fixation. Within all three meanders, low soil organic carbon correlated with high activity of genes involved in methanol, formate, sulfide, hydrogen, and ammonia oxidation, nitrite oxidoreduction, and nitrate and nitrite reduction. Overall, the results emphasize the importance of sulfur, one-carbon and nitrogen compound metabolism in soils of the riparian corridor. Conclusions The disparity between the scale of a microbial cell and the scale of a watershed currently limits the development of genomically informed predictive models describing watershed biogeochemical function. Meander-bound floodplains appear to serve as scaling motifs that predict aggregate capacities for biogeochemical transformations, providing a foundation for incorporating riparian soil microbiomes in watershed models. Widely represented genetic capacities did not predict in situ activity at one time point, but rather they define a reservoir of biogeochemical potential available as conditions change.

ORNL Second Target Station Project: Biological & Environmental Science Workshop

Recent advances in neutron sources and instrumentation have opened up many new opportunities for the application of neutron scattering techniques in the biological and environmental sciences. Neutrons enable studies of the structure and dynamics of biological and environmental samples with a particular sensitivity to light elements, such as hydrogen, which is a key component of biological and environmental samples. Studies using neutrons are complementary to X-rays and have the unique advantage of being non-destructive and highly-penetrating. Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s upcoming Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Second Target Station (STS) will provide high brightness cold neutron sources that significantly advance the scientific capabilities of neutron scattering instruments. The STS will advance our understanding of biological and environmental processes across spatial and temporal scales. The capabilities will enhance our ability to discover, design, and develop new materials essential for advanced sustainable technologies to address society’s most pressing needs. This report summarizes the discussions and recommendations from a joint workshop held by the STS Project and the Biological and Environmental Systems Science Directorate (BESSD) in June 2022. The purpose of the workshop was to explore science opportunities and capabilities related to biological and environmental systems that could be incorporated into both current and future STS instrument designs, as well as additional instruments at the SNS First Target Station (FTS) and High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). With six breakout sessions, each with two invited plenary speakers from other institutions, the participants discussed a wide range of topics relevant to biological and environmental research. Based on the input from participants, a number of recommendations on instrumentation, sample environments, complementary multi-modal methods, data processing and analysis and sample deuteration are provided in the report. The participants also identified science opportunities that are emerging from the planned instrument capabilities at STS. Selected recommendations and science opportunities are listed in the Executive Summary.

Mapping glyceride species in biodiesel by high-temperature gas chromatography combined with chemical ionization mass spectrometry.

Accurate and comprehensive identification of residual glycerides in biodiesel is an important part of the fuel characterization, due to the impact of glycerides on the fuel physicochemical properties. However, analysis of bound glycerol in biodiesel samples faces challenges due to lack of readily available standards of structurally complex glyceride species in non-traditional biodiesel feedstocks, and a risk of misannotation in the presence of impurities in gas chromatographic separations. Here we evaluate methane and isobutane chemical ionization – single quadrupole mass spectrometry combined with high temperature gas chromatography separations for mapping monoacylglycerols, diacylglycerols and triacylglycerols in biodiesel. Unlike the electron impact ionization which produces mostly in-source fragments, isobutane chemical ionization spectra of tetramethylsilyl (TMS) derivatized monoacylglycerols and diacylglycerols are dominated by molecular ions and M-SiO(CH3)3+ ions, which provide important diagnostic information. We demonstrate the utility of isobutane chemical ionization in identifying structurally complex glycerolipid standards as well as species in biodiesel samples from different plant and animal feedstocks.

HIPASS study of southern ultradiffuse galaxies and low surface brightness galaxies

ABSTRACT We present results from an H i counterpart search using the HI Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS) for a sample of low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) and ultradiffuse galaxies (UDGs) identified from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). We aimed to establish the redshifts of the DES LSBGs to determine the UDG fraction and understand their properties. Out of 409 galaxies investigated, none were unambiguously detected in H i. Our study was significantly hampered by the high spectral rms of HIPASS and thus in this paper we do not make any strong conclusive claims but discuss the main trends and possible scenarios our results reflect. The overwhelming number of non-detections suggest that (a) Either all the LSBGs in the groups, blue or red, have undergone environment aided pre-processing and are H i deficient or the majority of them are distant galaxies, beyond the HIPASS detection threshold. (b) The sample investigated is most likely dominated by galaxies with H i masses typical of dwarf galaxies. Had there been Milky Way (MW) size (Re) galaxies in our sample, with proportionate H i content, they would have been detected, even with the limitations imposed by the HIPASS spectral quality. This leads us to infer that if some of the LSBGs have MW-size optical diameters, their H i content is possibly in the dwarf range. More sensitive observations using the SKA precursors in future may resolve these questions.

Barium stars as tracers of s -process nucleosynthesis in AGB stars: II. Using machine learning techniques on 169 stars

Barium (Ba) stars are characterised by an abundance of heavy elements made by the slow neutron capture process (s-process). This peculiar observed signature is due to the mass transfer from a stellar companion, bound in a binary stellar system, to the Ba star observed today. The signature is created when the stellar companion is an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star. We aim to analyse the abundance pattern of 169 Ba stars using machine learning techniques and the AGB final surface abundances predicted by the FRUITY and Monash stellar models. We developed machine learning algorithms that use the abundance pattern of Ba stars as input to classify the initial mass and metallicity of each Ba star’s companion star using stellar model predictions. We used two algorithms. The first exploits neural networks to recognise patterns, and the second is a nearest-neighbour algorithm that focuses on finding the AGB model that predicts the final surface abundances closest to the observed Ba star values. In the second algorithm, we included the error bars and observational uncertainties in order to find the best-fit model. The classification process was based on the abundances of Fe, Rb, Sr, Zr, Ru, Nd, Ce, Sm, and Eu. We selected these elements by systematically removing s-process elements from our AGB model abundance distributions and identifying the elements whose removal had the biggest positive effect on the classification. We excluded Nb, Y, Mo, and La. Our final classification combined the output of both algorithms to identify an initial mass and metallicity range for each Ba star companion. With our analysis tools, we identified the main properties for 166 of the 169 Ba stars in the stellar sample. The classifications based on both stellar sets of AGB final abundances show similar distributions, with an average initial mass of M = 2.23 M ⊙ and 2.34 M ⊙ and an average [Fe/H] = –0.21 and –0.11, respectively. We investigated why the removal of Nb, Y, Mo, and La improves our classification and identified 43 stars for which the exclusion had the biggest effect. We found that these stars have statistically significant and different abundances for these elements compared to the other Ba stars in our sample. We discuss the possible reasons for these differences in the abundance patterns.

Plasma proteomic biomarkers of physical frailty in heart failure: a propensity score matched discovery-based pilot study

Background: Physical frailty is highly prevalent in heart failure (HF), but we lack an understanding of the underlying pathophysiology. Proteomics evaluation of plasma samples may elucidate potential mechanisms and biomarkers of physical frailty in HF. We aimed to identify plasma proteomic biomarkers that are differentially expressed between physically frail and non physically frail adults with HF. Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a subset of data and plasma samples from a study of frailty among patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification I-IV HF. Physical frailty was measured using the Frailty Phenotype Criteria. Propensity score matching was used to match pairs of physically frail (n = 20) vs. non-physically frail (n = 20) patients on clinical characteristics. Plasma samples were processed using a sensitive liquid chromatography mass spectrometry platform, utilizing a multiplexed tandem mass tag-labeled quantitative proteomics approach. Differentially expressed proteins were quantified individually using paired t tests with associated log fold change of 0.3 and Fisher’s combined p values. Results: The sample (n = 40) was 62.8±16.9 years old, 58% female, and 55% NYHA Class III/IV. Proteomics analysis revealed 7 proteins differentially expressed using full differential criteria: matrix metalloproteinase-14 was downregulated in frailty, and copine-1, low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor III-A and III-B, probable non-functional immunoglobulin kappa variable 2D-24, glutathione S-transferase Mu 1, and argininosuccinate lyase were upregulated in frailty. Conclusions: Proteomic biomarkers related to the immune system, stress response, and detoxification were differentially expressed between physically frail and non-physically frail adults with HF.

Multiple Mutations Associated with Emergent Variants Can Be Detected as Low-Frequency Mutations in Early SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic Clinical Samples

Genetic analysis of intra-host viral populations provides unique insight into pre-emergent mutations that may contribute to the genotype of future variants. Clinical samples positive for SARS-CoV-2 collected in California during the first months of the pandemic were sequenced to define the dynamics of mutation emergence as the virus became established in the state. Deep sequencing of 90 nasopharyngeal samples showed that many mutations associated with the establishment of SARS-CoV-2 globally were present at varying frequencies in a majority of the samples, even those collected as the virus was first detected in the US. A subset of mutations that emerged months later in consensus sequences were detected as subconsensus members of intra-host populations. Spike mutations P681H, H655Y, and V1104L were detected prior to emergence in variant genotypes, mutations were detected at multiple positions within the furin cleavage site, and pre-emergent mutations were identified in the nucleocapsid and the envelope genes. Because many of the samples had a very high depth of coverage, a bioinformatics pipeline, “Mappgene”, was established that uses both iVar and LoFreq variant calling to enable identification of very low-frequency variants. This enabled detection of a spike protein deletion present in many samples at low frequency and associated with a variant of concern.

Achieving robust somatic mutation detection with deep learning models derived from reference data sets of a cancer sample

Accurate detection of somatic mutations is challenging but critical in understanding cancer formation, progression, and treatment. We recently proposed NeuSomatic, the first deep convolutional neural network-based somatic mutation detection approach, and demonstrated performance advantages on in silico data. In this study, we use the first comprehensive and well-characterized somatic reference data sets from the SEQC2 consortium to investigate best practices for using a deep learning framework in cancer mutation detection. Using the high-confidence somatic mutations established for a cancer cell line by the consortium, we identify the best strategy for building robust models on multiple data sets derived from samples representing real scenarios, for example, a model trained on a combination of real and spike-in mutations had the highest average performance. The strategy identified in our study achieved high robustness across multiple sequencing technologies for fresh and FFPE DNA input, varying tumor/normal purities, and different coverages, with significant superiority over conventional detection approaches in general, as well as in challenging situations such as low coverage, low variant allele frequency, DNA damage, and difficult genomic regions.

Coevolution of phyllosilicate, carbon, sulfide, and apatite in Ryugu's parent body

Abstract We analyzed an asteroid Ryugu sample returned to Earth by JAXA's Hayabusa2 mission using nanoIR, SEM, and TEM microscopy. We identified multiple distinct carbon reservoirs within the phyllosilicate matrix and demonstrate infrared spectral affinities for some of the carbon to insoluble organic matter (IOM). TEM studies of Ryugu samples have allowed us to better understand the interrelationship between the crystallographic orientations of phyllosilicates and the secondary minerals such as carbonate, sulfide, and apatite. Transport of elements provides a unifying theme for understanding these interrelationships.

UCB-GLOBES: An open-access mass spectral database of identified and unidentified atmospheric organic compounds

Chemical characterization of atmospheric organic aerosols using gas chromatography with 70 eV electron ionization mass spectrometry (GC/EI-MS) has been used for decades in advancing molecular marker detection and identification, though primarily through suspect screening and/or targeted analyses. To advance non-targeted analyses of environmental samples, we have catalogued approximately 27 000 mass spectra (MS) of the trimethylsilyl derivatives of semi-volatile organic aerosol (OA) analytes in the open-access University of California Berkeley Goldstein Library of Organic Biogenic Environmental Spectra (UCB-GLOBES). Analytes were observed in ambient samples from the U.S. and the Central Amazon and/or laboratory simulations of secondary OA (SOA) formation. These samples are representative of OA under urban and biomass burning influences as well as SOA derived from biogenic precursors (e.g., isoprene, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes) and biomass burning intermediates. MS are documented in UCB-GLOBES without regard to known chemical identity, annotated with extensive metadata such as sample source/experimental conditions, any structural information gained from MS analyses, and predicted chemical properties such as average carbon oxidation state and carbon number. UCB-GLOBES MS are compatible for importing into the NIST MS Search program, and we have also provided a Jupyter Notebook for MS visualization and comparisons. We demonstrate the utility of UCB-GLOBES through MS reanalyses of prior analytes observed in ambient data, finding a 20 % reduction in the number of analytes assigned to OA source categories reliant solely on time series correlation and an overall 11 % increase in new MS-based OA source categorization for the Southeast U.S. For 1513 analytes observed previously in the Central Amazon, we found 375 MS matches using UCB-GLOBES vs. 136 MS matches during prior analyses, representing a 14 % gain in newly confirmed or newly categorized OA species. While OA from laboratory oxidation experiments in UCB-GLOBES are highly diverse chemically, on average only 29 % of UCB-GLOBES MS have a mass spectral match to another MS entry in UCB-GLOBES and/or in databases of known compounds (i.e. NIST MS Database, Adams Essential Oil, MANE Flavor and Fragrance Company). This indicates that roughly 70 % of UCB-GLOBES MS are unique thus far, not observed more than once among the laboratory oxidation samples and ambient data in UCB-GLOBES MS. Further, only 18 % can be positively identified using these databases or known authentic standards. This points to a large gap between these laboratory simulations and ambient OA. Overall, the UCB-GLOBES database can be utilized for improving confidence in OA source categorization and/or identification, novel chemical marker discovery, tracking chemical diversity, de novo structure and properties prediction, and improving MS search and matching algorithms. This can ultimately inform future research priorities for the chemical characterization of atmospheric organic samples.

Chemistry imaging and distribution analysis of rare earth elements in coal using LIBS and LA-ICP-MS instruments

Currently, demand for rare earth elements (REEs) increased significantly. Coal is actively evaluated as potential economic sources for extraction of REEs. Here, in this work, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was evaluated for rapid estimation of REEs content and their distribution in the natural coal samples. The results were compared with similar laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) measurements. Thirteen coal samples (nine standard samples and five natural samples) were used in this study. Powder samples were pressed into pellets while coal chunks were directly ablated for data recording. Pellets of the powder standard samples were used to optimize the data acquisition system and then data recorded with this optimized system was used to identify the proper data acquisition and analysis models. After establishing the proper data acquisition system and analysis model using the standard samples, natural coal samples in powder form and their chunks were utilized to record LIBS and LA-ICP-MS spectra. Multivariate calibration models were developed using four of the natural samples, which were evaluated by predicting the REE content in the fifth sample. Principal component analysis was performed on the LIBS data obtained from the natural samples and it classified all the samples with high accuracy. Two-dimensional (2D) elemental mapping on coal chunk samples was also performed using both LIBS and LA-ICP-MS to study the distribution of REEs in the samples. The resulting elemental images and their correlations can be used to infer mineral distributions.
