Extraction of radium and actinium with Pb resin and Rose Bengal

The extraction of radium and actinium with Eichrom Pb resin and Rose Bengal has been studied. Radium and actinium both show a strong affinity (k’ > 10,000) for the resin at intermediate pHs (~ 5–7) from solutions with Rose Bengal. The pH range and magnitude of uptake for both radium and actinium is significantly increased by the presence of Rose Bengal compared to basic solutions without this counter ion. Additionally, radium uptake is extremely fast from basic solutions with and without Rose Bengal; actinium uptake is slower, particularly in solutions without Rose Bengal. Column studies show that despite the similar behavior of actinium and radium in this system, separations of these two elements with Pb resin and Rose Bengal solutions are possible with reasonable yields due to the differences in uptake kinetics.

Extraction of radium and actinium with dibenzo-21-crown-7 resin and Rose Bengal

The extraction of 224 Ra and 228 Ac with dibenzo-21-crown-7 resin was studied in solutions with Rose Bengal and identical solutions without Rose Bengal (blanks) from pH 3 to 12. Batch studies demonstrated that actinium is extracted at high pH (> 10) from both solutions but with a significantly higher extraction from the Rose Bengal solutions (maximum extraction ~ 60,000) than the blank solutions (maximum extraction ~ 2,000). In the Rose Bengal solutions, there was a weak extraction of actinium at lower pH (4–10) as well. There was no uptake of radium from the blank solutions, and a weak extraction at all pH levels from the Rose Bengal solutions. Kinetics studies were performed for actinium only, as radium had no significant extraction. Two column studies are demonstrated for the separation of radium from actinium. These separations are moderately effective with ~ 78% of the actinium recovered with no detectable radium.

ROSE: A reduced-order scattering emulator for optical models

A new generation of phenomenological optical potentials requires robust calibration and uncertainty quantification, motivating the use of Bayesian statistical methods. These Bayesian methods usually require calculating observables for thousands or even millions of parameter sets, making fast and accurate emulators highly desirable or even essential. Emulating scattering across different energies or with interactions such as optical potentials is challenging because of the nonaffine parameter dependence, meaning the parameters do not all factorize from individual operators. Here we introduce and demonstrate the reduced-order scattering emulator ( ROSE ) framework, a reduced basis emulator that can handle nonaffine problems. ROSE is fully extensible and works within the publicly available band framework software suite for calibration, model mixing, and experimental design. As a demonstration problem, we use ROSE to calibrate a realistic nucleon-target scattering model through the calculation of elastic cross sections. This problem shows the practical value of the ROSE framework for Bayesian uncertainty quantification with controlled trade-offs between emulator speed and accuracy as compared to high-fidelity solvers. Finally, planned extensions of ROSE are discussed.

Putting ROSE to Work: A Proposed Application of a Request-Oriented Scheduling Engine for Space Station Operations

Scheduling engines are found at the core of software systems that plan and schedule activities and resources. A Request-Oriented Scheduling Engine (ROSE) is one that processes a single request (adding a task to a timeline) and then waits for another request. For the International Space Station, a robust ROSE-based system would support multiple, simultaneous users, each formulating requests (defining scheduling requirements), submitting these requests via the internet to a single scheduling engine operating on a single timeline, and immediately viewing the resulting timeline. ROSE is significantly different from the engine currently used to schedule Space Station operations. The current engine supports essentially one person at a time, with a pre-defined set of requirements from many payloads, working in either a "batch" scheduling mode or an interactive/manual scheduling mode. A planning and scheduling process that takes advantage of the features of ROSE could produce greater customer satisfaction at reduced cost and reduced flow time. This paper describes a possible ROSE-based scheduling process and identifies the additional software component required to support it. Resulting changes to the management and control of the process are also discussed.

An Evaluation of the ROSE System

A request-oriented scheduling engine, better known as ROSE, is under development within the Flight Projects Directorate for the purpose of planning and scheduling of the activities and resources associated with the science experiments to be performed aboard the International Space Station (ISS). ROSE is being designed to incrementally process requests from payload developers (PDs) to model and schedule the execution of their science experiments on the ISS. The novelty of the approach comes from its web-based interface permitting the PDs to define their request via the construction of a graphical model to represent their requirements. Based on an examination of the current ROSE implementation, this paper proposes several recommendations for changes to the modeling component and makes mention of other potential applications of the ROSE system.

Space Rose Pleases the Senses

International Flavors and Fragrances (IFF), Inc., discovered a new scent by flying a miniature rose plant aboard NASA's Space Shuttle Discovery Flight STS-95. IFF and the Wisconsin Center for Space Automation and Robotics (WCSAR) partnered to fly the rose plant in the commercial plant research facility, ASTROCULTURE(TM), for reduced-gravity environment research. IFF commercialized the space rose note, which is now a fragrance ingredient in a perfume developed by Shiseido Cosmetics (America), Ltd. In addition to providing a light crisp scent, the oil from the space rose can also serve as a flavor enhancer. ASTROCULTURE(TM) is a trademark of the Wisconsin Center for Space Automation and Robotics.

Design of a Model Execution Framework: Repetitive Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (ROSE)

The ROSE framework was designed to facilitate complex system analyses. It completely divorces the model execution process from the model itself. By doing so ROSE frees the modeler to develop a library of standard modeling processes such as Design of Experiments, optimizers, parameter studies, and sensitivity studies which can then be applied to any of their available models. The ROSE framework accomplishes this by means of a well defined API and object structure. Both the API and object structure are presented here with enough detail to implement ROSE in any object-oriented language or modeling tool.

MAVEN ROSE Observations of the Response of the Martian Ionosphere to Dust Storms

During a Martian dust storm, the lower atmosphere is heated locally. Due to dynamical effects, the upper atmosphere and ionosphere can be lifted upward on a global scale by approximately 10 km. The connections between lower atmospheric dust events and associated ionospheric responses are poorly understood due to limited observations. Here, we present MAVEN Radio Occultation Science Experiment (ROSE) observations of ionospheric peak altitude during dust events in 2018 and 2016. In June 2018, a planet-encircling dust event arose from the Acidalia storm track in the northern hemisphere. Ionospheric peak altitudes at around 20°S were normal in ROSE egress observations on 19 June and 22 June and then 10–15 km higher on 26 June and thereafter. Ionospheric peak altitudes at around 50°N were also elevated in ROSE ingress observations, which began on 17 June. This suggests that the ionospheric peak altitude was affected by the dust event in the northern hemisphere before the southern hemisphere. We also observe evidence that smaller dust storms can trigger ionospheric responses: In July–October 2016, ionospheric peak altitudes at solar zenith angles of 54–70° and latitudes of 50–80°S were 20 km higher than expected. These observations were acquired during a modest “A storm” during a year without a global dust storm.

Location and characterization of heterogeneous phases within Mary Rose wood

Preserving the Mary Rose oak hull for future generations is a major challenge due to the highly heterogeneous nature of waterlogged wooden artifacts, which contain polycrystalline, amorphous, and nanostructured materials that test traditional characterization methods. Effective conservation requires detailed knowledge of the distribution and chemical nature of these species to develop strategies for preventing multiple chemo-mechanical degradation pathways. Here, we apply synchrotron-based computed tomography total scattering methods to the Mary Rose keelson wood that provides valuable position-resolved structural information on multiple embedded species of different length and concentration scales. We identify 5 nm zinc sulfide nanoparticles in the wood, presumably deposits from bacteria operating on the sulfur energy cycle under the anaerobic conditions on the seabed. These are identified as precursors to acid attack on the wood upon removal to an aerobic environment. These insights inform not only next-generation conservation strategies, but also the efficacy and unforeseen issues of previous treatments.

Taxogenomic Analysis of a Novel Yeast Species, Lachancea rosae Sp. Nov. F.A., Isolated From the Wild Rose Rosa californica

A novel Saccharomycotina yeast strain, yHQL494, was isolated from the rose hip of the wild rose Rosa californica from Castle Crags State Park, California, USA. Phylogenetic analyses of both whole genome data and the sequences from the D1/D2 region of the large ribosomal subunit (LSU) rRNA gene placed strain yHQL494 within the genus Lachancea and grouped it into a clade with Lachancea lanzarotensis and Lachancea meyersii. Taxogenomic analyses were conducted on publicly available genome sequences to gain a deeper insight into the carbon and nitrogen gene-trait associations across the Lachancea clade. The results of these analyses were found to be consistent across Lachancea species. Growth assays and microscopic analyses were conducted to determine the physiological characteristics of strain yHQL494, including the presence of hyphae or pseudohyphae, ascospore formation, fermentation abilities, and assimilation of carbon and nitrogen compounds. Based on the phenotypic and genomic characteristics of the strain yHQL494 T (=NRRL Y-64858 T , =CBS 18,574 T ), we propose a new species, Lachancea rosae sp. nov. f.a.

Gaussian FLOWERS: Wind-rose-based analytical integration of Gaussian wake model for extremely fast AEP estimation

A major cost in the study of wind farm layout optimization is the repeated evaluation of the annual energy production (AEP). The current approach to estimating AEP requires a large set of flow simulations to be performed that cover each discrete wind speed and direction combination contained within the wind rose, followed by a probability-weighted sum of the power production resulting from each simulation. Even with inexpensive engineering wake models, this numerical integration scheme can lead to high computational costs. In this paper, we derive an analytical formulation for estimating farm AEP across every wind direction, based on a Gaussian wake velocity model, which reduces the number of wind farm simulations to a single function evaluation. As a result, we find that the Gaussian-FLOWERS approach reduces the time for AEP calculations by more than two orders of magnitude with a small trade-off in accuracy when compared to a conventional approach. This massive reduction in computation cost is useful to reduce overall costs in wind farm layout optimization studies.

Roses in the nonperturbative current response of artificial crystals

In two-dimensional artificial crystals with large real-space periodicity, the nonlinear current response to a large applied electric field can feature a strong angular dependence, which encodes information about the band dispersion and Berry curvature of isolated electronic Bloch minibands. Within the relaxation-time approximation, we obtain analytic expressions up to infinite order in the driving field for the current in a band-projected theory with time-reversal and trigonal symmetry. For a fixed field strength, the dependence of the current on the direction of the applied field is given by rose curves whose petal structure is symmetry constrained and is obtained from an expansion in real-space translation vectors. We illustrate our theory with calculations on periodically buckled graphene and twisted double bilayer graphene, wherein the discussed physics can be accessed at experimentally relevant field strengths.

ROSE LCOM Tools

This project provides a tool to compute LCOM metrics for important Ada abstraction mechanisms (e.g., packages, protected objects). It analyzes data accesses and routine calls to compute an abstract representation of an Ada package (or some other abstraction). Different LCOM metrics (1-5) are computed from the abstract representation. The project also provides support for representing the abstraction graphically (via graphviz). The LCOM tool requires an existing ROSE installation configured with the GNAT 2019 compiler.
