Abstract. Tropical tree height-diameter (H:D) relationships may vary by forest type and region making large-scale estimates of above-ground biomass subject to bias if they ignore these differences in stem allometry. We have therefore developed a new global tropical forest database consisting of 39 955 concurrent H and D measurements encompassing 283 sites in 22 tropical countries. Utilising this database, our objectives were:   1. to determine if H:D relationships differ by geographic region and forest type (wet to dry forests, including zones of tension where forest and savanna overlap).   2. to ascertain if the H:D relationship is modulated by climate and/or forest structural characteristics (e.g. stand-level basal area, A).   3. to develop H:D allometric equations and evaluate biases to reduce error in future local-to-global estimates of tropical forest biomass. Annual precipitation coefficient of variation (PV), dry season length (SD), and mean annual air temperature (TA) emerged as key drivers of variation in H:D relationships at the pantropical and region scales. Vegetation structure also played a role with trees in forests of a high A being, on average, taller at any given D. After the effects of environment and forest structure are taken into account, two main regional groups can be identified. Forests in Asia, Africa and the Guyana Shield all have, on average, similar H:D relationships, but with trees in the forests of much of the Amazon Basin and tropical Australia typically being shorter at any given D than their counterparts elsewhere. The region-environment-structure model with the lowest Akaike's information criterion and lowest deviation estimated stand-level H across all plots to within a median –2.7 to 0.9% of the true value. Some of the plot-to-plot variability in H:D relationships not accounted for by this model could be attributed to variations in soil physical conditions. Other things being equal, trees tend to be more slender in the absence of soil physical constraints, especially at smaller D. Pantropical and continental-level models provided only poor estimates of H, especially when the roles of climate and stand structure in modulating H:D allometry were not simultaneously taken into account.
Development of an online radiative module for the computation of aerosol optical properties in 3-D atmospheric models: validation during the EUCAARI campaign

Published: October 2010

Abstract. Obtaining a good description of aerosol optical properties for a physically and chemically complex evolving aerosol is computationally very expensive at present. The goal of this work is to propose a new numerical module computing the optical properties for complex aerosol particles at low numerical cost so that it can be implemented in atmospheric models. This method aims to compute the optical properties online as a function of a given complex refractive index deduced from the aerosol chemical composition and the size parameters corresponding to the particles. The construction of look-up tables from the imaginary and the real part of the complex refractive index and size parameters will also be explained. This approach is validated for observations acquired during the EUCAARI (European integrated project on aerosol cloud climate air quality interactions) campaign on the Cabauw tower during May 2008 and its computing cost is also estimated. These comparisons show that the module manages to reproduce the scattering and absorbing behaviour of the aerosol during most of the fifteen-day period of observation with a very cheap computationally cost.
Potential groundwater contribution to Amazon evapotranspiration
Authors: Fan Y. , Miguez-Macho G.
Published: October 2010

Abstract. Climate and land ecosystem models simulate a dry-season vegetation stress in the Amazon forest, but observations do not support these results, indicating adequate water supply. Proposed mechanisms include larger soil water store and deeper roots in nature and the ability of roots to move water up and down (hydraulic redistribution), both absent in the models. Here we provide a first-order assessment of the potential importance of the upward soil water flux from the groundwater driven by capillarity. We present a map of equilibrium water table depth from available observations and a groundwater model simulation constrained by these observations. We then present a map of maximum capillary flux these water table depths, combined with the fine-textured soils in the Amazon, can potentially support. The maps show that the water table beneath the Amazon can be shallow in lowlands and river valleys (<5 m in 36% and <10 m in 60% of Amazonia). These water table depths can potentially accommodate a maximum capillary flux of 2.1 mm day−1 to the land surface averaged over Amazonia, but varies from 0.6 to 3.7 mm day−1 across nine study sites. We note that the results presented here are based on limited observations and simple equilibrium model calculations, and as such, have important limitations and must be interpreted accordingly. The potential capillary fluxes are not indicative of their contribution to the actual evapotranspiration, and they are only an assessment of the possible rate at which this flux can occur, to illustrate the power of soil capillary force acting on a shallow water table in fine textured soils. They may over-estimate the actual flux where the surface soils remain moist. Their contribution to the actual evapotranspiration can only be assessed through fully coupled model simulation of the dynamic feedbacks between soil water and groundwater with sub-daily climate forcing. The equilibrium water table obtained here serves as the initial state for the dynamic simulation, and together with the equilibrium potential capillary flux, will serve as a baseline to evaluate the diurnal, event, seasonal and inter-annual dynamics.
Synthesis of Functional Nanomaterials via Colloidal Mask Templating and Glancing Angle Deposition (GLAD)

Published: October 2010

We present a simple method for the fabrication of separated brush‐like networks with both improved optical and biological properties. The brush networks were fabricated by combing the glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique with colloidal mask templating. By changing the deposition angle during GLAD on the template layers as the amount of platinum deposited per area [surface mass density (g cm−2)] it is possible to create a wide range of reproducible and localized brush‐like networks consisting of high aspect ratio whiskers with different sizes and morphologies. The results presented here indicate that localized surface plasmons are present on the GLAD templated surfaces while cell assays with monocyte cells showed an impaired attachment to the brush structures. Consequently, deposition by means of a colloidal mask templating is indeed a very tunable and suited technique for the fabrication of multifunctional nanomaterials which could have potential impact on devices where both controlled optical properties and cell surface interactions are needed (for instance controlled cell adhesion on optical biosensor materials).
White Organic Light‐Emitting Diodes
Authors: Gather Malte C. , Köhnen Anne , Meerholz Klaus
Published: October 2010

White organic light‐emitting diodes (WOLEDs) offer a range of attractive characteristics and are in several regards conceptually different from most currently used light sources. From an application perspective, their advantages include a high power efficiency that rivals the performance of fluorescent lamps and inorganic LEDs and the potential for a very low cost of manufacturing. As flat‐panel light sources they are intrinsically glare‐free and generate light over a large area. WOLEDs are constantly improving in terms of performance, durability, and manufacturability, but these improvements require joint research efforts in chemistry and the materials sciences to design better materials as well as in physics and engineering to invent new device concepts and design suitable fabrication schemes, a process that has generated many exciting scientific questions and answers. This article reviews current developments in the field of WOLEDs and puts a special focus on new device concepts and on approaches to reliable and cost‐efficient WOLED manufacturing.

Published: October 2010

Objective

Amyloid‐β(Aβ) aggregates are presumed to be found in the brain at an early stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD) but have seldom been assessed by brain biopsy during life in often elderly patients.

Methods

Between 1991 and 2006 we evaluated 468 patients with suspected normal pressure hydrocephalus with intraventricular pressure monitoring and a right frontal cortical biopsy sample immunostained for Aβ and hyperphosphorylated tau (HPτ). Adequate samples and the clinical follow‐up data until death or the end of 2008, available in 433 cases, were reviewed for the clinical signs of dementia, including AD. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze whether Aβ and/or HPτ in the biopsy samples obtained during life predicted development of cognitive impairment, in particular, AD.

Results

Of the 433 frontal cortical samples, 42 (10%) displayed both Aβ and HPτ, 144 (33%) Aβ only, and 247 (57%) neither Aβ nor HPτ. In a median follow‐up time of 4.4 years, 94 patients (22%) developed clinical AD. The presence of both Aβ and HPτ was strongly associated (odds ratio [OR], 68.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 22.1–210) and Aβ alone significantly associated (OR, 10.8; 95% CI, 4.9–23.8) with the clinical diagnosis of AD.

Interpretation

This is the largest follow‐up study of patients assessed for the presence of Aβ and HPτ in frontal cortical brain biopsy samples. 1) The presence of Aβ and HPτ spoke strongly for the presence or later development of clinical AD; 2) Aβ alone was suggestive of AD; and 3) the absence of Aβ and HPτ spoke against a later clinical diagnosis of AD.

Primary cellular meningeal defects cause neocortical dysplasia and dyslamination
Authors: Hecht Jonathan H. , Siegenthaler Julie A. , Patterson Katelin P. , Pleasure Samuel J.
Published: October 2010

Objective

Cortical malformations are important causes of neurological morbidity, but in many cases their etiology is poorly understood. Mice with Foxc1 mutations have cellular defects in meningeal development. We use hypomorphic and null alleles of Foxc1 to study the effect of meningeal defects on neocortical organization.

Methods

Embryos with loss of Foxc1 activity were generated using the hypomorphic Foxc1hith allele and the null Foxc1lacZ allele. Immunohistologic analysis was used to assess cerebral basement membrane integrity, marginal zone heterotopia formation, neuronal overmigration, meningeal defects, and changes in basement membrane composition. Dysplasia severity was quantified using 2 measures.

Results

Cortical dysplasia resembling cobblestone cortex, with basement membrane breakdown and lamination defects, is seen in Foxc1 mutants. As Foxc1 activity was reduced, abnormalities in basement membrane integrity, heterotopia formation, neuronal overmigration, and meningeal development appeared earlier in gestation and were more severe. Surprisingly, the basement membrane appeared intact at early stages of development in the face of severe deficits in meningeal development. Prominent defects in basement membrane integrity appeared as development proceeded. Molecular analysis of basement membrane laminin subunits demonstrated that loss of the meninges led to changes in basement membrane composition.

Interpretation

Cortical dysplasia can be caused by cellular defects in the meninges. The meninges are not required for basement membrane establishment but are needed for remodeling as the brain expands. Specific changes in basement membrane composition may contribute to subsequent breakdown. Our study raises the possibility that primary meningeal defects may cortical dysplasia in some cases.

A Gradient of neuronal loss and meningeal inflammation in multiple sclerosis
Authors: Magliozzi Roberta , Howell Owain W. , Reeves Cheryl , Roncaroli Federico , Nicholas Richard , Serafini Barbara , Aloisi Francesca , Reynolds Richard
Published: October 2010

Objective

Prominent inflammation with formation of ectopic B‐cell follicle‐like structures in the meninges in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) (SPMS) is associated with extensive cortical pathology and an exacerbated disease course. Our objective was to evaluate the cellular substrates of the cortical damage to understand the role of meningeal inflammation in MS pathology.

Methods

Using >600 tissue blocks from 37 cases of SPMS and 14 non‐neurological controls, we carried out a detailed quantitative analysis of cortical atrophy and layer‐specific changes in cell populations in SPMS cases with (F+ SPMS) and without (F− SPMS) B‐cell follicle‐like structures.

Results

B‐cell follicle‐like structures were detected in the inflamed meninges of 20 of 37 SPMS cases (54%) and were associated with increased subpial cortical demyelination and cortical atrophy. A clear gradient of neuronal loss was observed in grey matter lesions and normal‐appearing grey matter in the motor cortex of F+ SPMS cases. The density of pyramidal neurons was significantly reduced in layers III and V of the motor cortex. Neuronal loss was accompanied by glia limitans damage with astrocyte loss and an opposite gradient of increased density of activated microglia. No gradient of neuronal loss was seen in F− SPMS cases.

Interpretation

We demonstrate substantial cortical neurodegeneration and generalized cell loss in progressive MS in association with meningeal inflammation and lymphoid tissue formation, supporting the hypothesis that cytotoxic factors diffusing from the meningeal compartment contribute to grey matter pathology and the consequent increase in clinical disability.

Kinetic Modeling of Hyperbranched Polymer Synthesis through Atom‐Transfer and Nitroxide‐Mediated Radical Polymerization of Vinyl/Divinyl Monomers
Authors: Gonçalves M. A. D. , Dias R. C. S. , Costa M. R. P. F. N.
Published: October 2010

Kinetic models describing the controlled radical polymerization (CRP) of vinyl and divinyl monomers are presented. The main focuses of this work are the atom‐transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of n‐butyl acrylate/diacrylate monomers (nBA/diacrylate) and of methyl methacrylate with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (MMA/EGDMA). Nitroxide‐mediated radical polymerization (NMRP) of styrene with divinylbenzene (S/DVB) is also considered as a case study. For the three chemical systems, this analysis is restricted to the formation of soluble (hyperbranched) polymers. Particular kinetic mechanisms associated with the synthesis of hyperbranched polymers based on these chemical systems are considered, such as crosslinking involving radicals and double bonds with different reactivities, branching due to polymerization of terminal double bonds and/or chain transfer to polymers, the presence of two isomers in the commercial DVB and thermal polymerization of styrene. For the three polymerization systems, predicted values of dynamics of monomer conversion, molecular weights and z‐average radius of gyration are compared with the measured values of these properties obtained through the characterization by SEC/RI/MALLS of the synthesized materials.
Free‐Radical Acrylic Polymerization Kinetics at Elevated Temperatures
Authors: Wang W. , Hutchinson R. A.
Published: October 2010

Free‐radical acrylic homo‐ and copolymerization kinetics are reviewed, focusing on secondary reactions that impact the polymerization rate and polymer molecular weight (MW) under industrially‐relevant synthesis conditions. Dependent on the monomer type (acrylate, methacrylate, styrene), mechanisms that must be considered include chain‐end depropagation, monomer self‐initiation, formation and reaction of midchain radicals, and incorporation of macromonomers formed by β‐scission of midchain radicals. The relative importance of these reactions varies with temperature and, for copolymerization, monomer composition. A comprehensive treatment of these complexities has been completed for polymerizations conducted up to 180 °C, but further work is required to extend the applicability of the model to even higher temperatures.
Modeling of Continuous Dispersion Copolymerization of Styrene and Acrylonitrile in a Polyol Medium
Authors: Pla F. , Fonteix C. , Van der Wal H.
Published: October 2010

Acrylonitrile and styrene radical copolymerization in a dispersed medium has been investigated. Experiments were carried out in a continuous stirred‐tank reactor in the presence of a stabilizing agent elaborated in situ during polymerization. The continuous phase was a polyol. The numerous elementary chemical mechanisms concerning the copolymerization as well as synthesis and grafting of the stabilizing agent together with several physical phenomena clearly show the complexity of the process. Using justified assumptions and a simplified kinetic scheme, a tendency model of the process was developed, using mass balances and thermodynamics. Its unknown parameters were identified by use of an evolutionary algorithm and experimental data resulting from an adapted experimental strategy. This model was then validated and allowed to forecast, with an acceptable order of magnitude, the number and weight average molecular weights, monomers and transfer agent conversions, amounts of solids, copolymer composition, amounts of grafted copolymer, and average particle diameters versus the operating conditions.
Inverse Free Radical Suspension Polymerization as a Potential Means to Encapsulate Biologically Active Materials
Authors: Luciani C. V. , Choi K. Y. , Xiao Z.
Published: October 2010

Some recent advances in the production of hollow polymer particles at room temperature via inverse suspension polymerization are presented. Although suspension polymerization has been used for years to produce solid microspheres, there is a lack of information regarding its application in the production of polymer microcapsules when an intraparticle phase separation is induced during the course of polymerization. As a model system, the inverse suspension copolymerization of acrylamide, neutralized methacrylic acid, andN,N‐methylenebisacrylamide in cyclohexane at low temperature was investigated. The effects of the composition of the disperse phase and stabilizer on the final particle morphology were studied. The results were interpreted by means of a qualitative model. Due to the low temperature of the reaction and the use of water‐soluble monomers, the investigated suspension polymerization can be also regarded as a potentially attractive technique to encapsulate biologically active materials.
