Deep space
No full textA detailed breakdown of effects and techniques used to create the film short Deep Space.
This is a film and animation project created using Adobe After Effects taking the viewers
on a conceptual journey through the solar system. Techniques include track mattes,
compositing, roto scoping, creating planets from NASA planet scans, 3d space, particle
acceleration, and creating a theoretical black hole. (Author abstract)McCormick, B. (2021). Creating a deep space adventure. Retrieved from http://academicarchive.snhu.ed

Accurate structure geometry of P2/n omphacite at variable pressures
No full textOur recent high-pressure (HP) Raman spectroscopy study of natural omphacite (space group P2/n, with composition close to Jd45Di55 from Münchberg Massif, Germany) up to 10 GPa revealed some interesting changes in elastic behavior. The pressure dependence of the wavenumber of few Raman peaks shows a discontinuity near 5 GPa, that can be related to the homogenization of the volume compressibility associated with chemical order at the six- and eight-coordinated sites in the structure. Available HP diffraction data of omphacites [1-3] is not sufficient to make a one-to-one comparison with the pressure dependence of the structure and our HP Raman results. Considering this we have recently done a HP single-crystal diffraction study of the same sample at the Xpress beamline of the Elettra Synchrotron, Trieste. The crystal, previously cut in two different perpendicular directions with a focused ion beam, was loaded to the diamond anvil cell (DAC) to maximize the available reciprocal space information during our HP investigation. This permitted us to overcome the limitations in accessible reciprocal space in usual HP studies and enabled us to obtain a structure refinement with anisotropic atomic displacement parameters (adp’s). In particular, the data was sufficient to refine adp’s of all the atoms in the structure of omphacite while changing pressure, and to obtain accurate structural variations in terms of deformation of bonds and coordination polyhedra.
The description of the elastic and structural behavior of omphacite crystals during compression will further help to understand the genetic processes of omphacite-rich rocks, such as eclogites.

Tucson International Airport area superfund site, Tucson, Arizona.
No full textabstract: This public health assessment evaluates the potential public health hazard from exposure to contaminated groundwater in the vicinity of the Tucson International Airport. The Tucson International Airport Area superfund site consists of a main plume of contaminated groundwater and three smaller areas of groundwater contamination east of the main plume. This report focuses on one of these areas of contamination called Plume B and evaluates the public health hazard posed by Plume B to residents of the area of south Tucson bounded by Valencia Road, Campbell Avenue, Irvington Road, and 6th Avenue.Under cooperative agreement with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.Includes bibliographical references (p. 24-25)
Effect of group-14 and group-16 substitution on the photophysics of structurally related donor–acceptor polymers
No full textA series of eight polymers based on the parent structure, poly[2,6-(4,4-bis-(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-cyclopenta[2,1-b;3,4-b′]-dithiophene)-alt-4,7-(2,1,3-benzothiadiazole)] (PCPDTBT), were synthesized for a systematic group-14 and group-16 single atom substitution study. The eight polymers were constructed with C/Si/Ge and S/Se/Te varied in the donor and acceptor, respectively. By examining experimental spectroscopic data and DFT calculated geometry and electronic structure, we gain new physical insights into the effects of heavy atom substitution at different positions in a donor–acceptor polymer. Absorption and emission experiments demonstrate that group-14 substitution in the donor unit only slightly blue shifts the long wavelength absorption (HOMO to LUMO transition) and that group-16 substitution in the acceptor affects this absorption to a much greater extent. Solvatochromism experiments show that the charge transfer excited state is most polarized when the acceptor contains a lighter atom and is influenced very little by the atom in the donor. Changing the atom in the acceptor has less effect on the absorption of the Si-donor and Ge-donor polymers than the C-donor polymers. Polymers that contain C-donors are stronger light absorbers than their Si-donor and Ge-donor analogues regardless of which atom is in the acceptor position. These results clarify the effects of single atom substitution on donor–acceptor polymers and aid in the future design of polymers containing heavy atoms.Peer reviewedFinal article publishe
The Streptomyces O-B one connection : a force within layered repression of a key developmental decision
No full textThe study of Streptomyces development has made significant advances in the past few years and ongoing work is poised to add even more. One key to advancing the field has been the application of genome-wide approaches using Streptomyces venezuelae, which is capable of fairly synchronous sporulation in submerged growth conditions. WhiA and WhiB are well-known transcriptional regulators governing the pathway for spore formation in aerial hyphae. Recent ChIP-seq and RNA expression analyses indicated that WhiA and WhiB regulate the same set of genes, each being dependent on the presence of the other to exert control. Functional WhiAB is believed to form when developmental accumulation of WhiB joins constitutive accumulation of WhiA, suggesting that an important developmental decision is the control of WhiB accumulation. Now, a new WhiAB-controlled gene called bldO has been described and characterized. Strikingly, BldO has one target for repression in the entire genome, whiB. BldO now joins pleiotropic repressor BldD to exert a multi-layer control of the temporal and spatial activity of WhiB. BldD activity is controlled by c-di-GMP concentration and BldO potentially responds to an unknown signal. Together BldO and BldD repress developmental genes from being expressed until the appropriate time
