Abstract A 1Π →X 1Σ+) of CO and the optically forbidden O (5So → 3P) 135.6 nm atomic transition by electron‐impact‐induced‐fluorescence of CO and CO2. We present a model excitation cross section from threshold to high energy for theA 1Π state, including cascade by electron impact on CO. TheA 1Π state is perturbed by triplet states leading to an extended FUV glow from electron excitation of CO. We derive a model FUV spectrum of the 4PG band system from dissociative excitation of CO2, an important process observed on Mars and Venus. Our unique experimental setup consists of a large vacuum chamber housing an electron gun system and the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph optical engineering unit, operating in the FUV (110–170 nm). The determination of the total Oi (5So ) at 135.6 nm emission cross section is accomplished by measuring the cylindrical glow pattern of the metastable emission from electron impact by imaging the glow intensity about the electron beam from nominally zero to ~400 mm distance from the electron beam. The study of the glow pattern of Oi (135.6 nm) from dissociative excitation of CO and CO2indicates that the Oi (5So ) state has a kinetic energy of ~1 eV by modeling the radial glow pattern with the published lifetime of 180 μs for the Oi (5So ) state. -
Abstract The genetic effective population size,
N e , can be estimated from the average gametic disequilibrium () between pairs of loci, but such estimates require evaluation of assumptions and currently have few methods to estimate confidence intervals. speed‐ne is a suite ofmatlab computer code functions to estimatefrom with a graphical user interface and a rich set of outputs that aid in understanding data patterns and comparing multiple estimators. speed‐ne includes functions to either generate or input simulated genotype data to facilitate comparative studies ofestimators under various population genetic scenarios. speed‐ne was validated with data simulated under both time‐forward and time‐backward coalescent models of genetic drift. Three classes of estimators were compared with simulated data to examine several general questions: what are the impacts of microsatellite null alleles on, how should missing data be treated, and does disequilibrium contributed by reduced recombination among some loci in a sample impact. Estimators differed greatly in precision in the scenarios examined, and a widely employed estimator exhibited the largest variances among replicate data sets. speed‐ne implements several jackknife approaches to estimate confidence intervals, and simulated data showed that jackknifing over loci and jackknifing over individuals provided ~95% confidence interval coverage for some estimators and should be useful for empirical studies.speed‐ne provides an open‐source extensible tool for estimation offrom empirical genotype data and to conduct simulations of both microsatellite and single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP ) data types to develop expectations and to compareestimators. -
Abstract Recently, slow molecular dynamics of poly(
l ‐lactic acid) (PLLA) by using 1D and 2D exchange NMR are investigated. In this work, slow molecular dynamics of PLLA chains in the α′, a stereocomplex (SC) with poly(d ‐lactic acid), and glassy states are investigated in terms of centerband‐only detection of exchange (CODEX) NMR. The mixing‐time dependence of the CODEX data demonstrates that the molecular dynamics of stems become slower in the order of α′, α, and SC. The temperature dependence of the correlation time 〈τc〉 of the helical jump motions in the α and SC phases simply exhibits Arrhenius behaviors, with activation energy,E a, values of 91 ± 1 and 97 ± 1 kJ mol−1, respectively. In contrast, the temperature dependence of 〈τc〉 in the α′ sample exhibits two Arrhenius lines with substantially differentE avalues of 273 ± 12 and 16 ± 14 kJ mol−1at temperatures below and above 84 °C. The obtained kinetics of molecular dynamics not only establish the relationship between packing structure and dynamics in PLLA polymorphs and in the SC, but also allow for an understanding of the coupled dynamics between the crystalline and amorphous regions at approximatelyT g.
