description: Despite considerable advances in bone repair, many clinical problems such as bone loss, defects, soft tissue damage, lack of ample mechanical stability, and infection play a crucial role in successful bone healing and must be addressed. The periosteum responds to physical insult and serves as a source of reparative cells at the injury site. Without the periosteum present, the bone's source of chondrogenic and osteogenic cells are absent when an injury to bone occurs. Current clinical approaches for regenerating the periosteum utilize autologous periosteum transplantation, but this strategy is limited by the tissue availability, morbidity, and increased risk of infection. Thus, there is a critical need to develop effective replacements for damaged periosteum.
 Biomaterials provide an opportunity to create a tissue engineered periosteum (TEP) and replace its function. Compared to other approaches, granular microgels have distinct advantages over bulk materials that boast tunable parameters ranging from stiffness to porosity and can be used to easily generate gradients of relevant biophysical properties. Microgels are customizable building blocks that can be assembled to fabricate multi-material, multi-stiffness, multi-cellular scaffolds with tunable pore size. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) microgels are an ideal platform for a periosteum mimic due to their homogeneity in size and tunable properties in annealed form.
 For this project, LLNL’s biological laboratory facilities, Micro-fabrication facility, and bioprinting laboratory will be used. Further equipment and facilities used include mechanical characterization (e.g., rheometer, Instron, Chiaro nanoindenter) and the Buchi Encapsulator B-390. The nanoindenter and encapsulator are of particular interest to this project and are not found on the UC Davis campus. The knowledge and expertise of Dr. Moya and her team are also vital for the successful completion of this project. Animal studies will be conducted at UC Davis at the Sacramento medical campus to leverage the experience of orthopedic surgeons and expertise in treating bone defects in preclinical models. My previous work at LLNL, research experience, and technical training make me the ideal candidate for carrying out this work at LLNL. My career goal of holding a PI position at a national laboratory is also ideally situated for completing this work at LLNL.

description: Astrophysical observations of stellar explosions contain a wealth of information on the nuclear processes occurring in the evolution and eventual death of massive stars. In recent years, astronomers have discovered that many stars shed off their outer layers near the end of their lives. Once the star dies, the supernova explosion slams into the expelled material, creating a highly energetic shockwave that is observable across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. However, the resulting emission remains poorly understood, as it involves the complex interplay of atomic-scale physical processes manifesting in a cosmic-sized shockwave. Previous attempts to simulate the shockwave emission have used overly simplified models in order to be computationally feasible; as such, these models have been limited in their predictive power.

 As it turns out, supernova shockwaves bear a great deal of resemblance to structures that appear in the context of fusion and high energy density science. Many of the diagnostic tools used in modeling fusion experiments, such as the CRETIN code at Lawrence Livermore (Scott & Hansen 2010), are identical to those used in our astrophysical context. However, the capabilities of such codes are more mature and extensive than those in use by astrophysicists to model stellar explosions; the computational advancements in fusion codes have yet to make their way into astrophysics. As such, supernova codes are not able to fully utilize the capabilities of current supercomputers.

 We therefore intend to adapt these recent algorithmic and computational developments in fusion diagnostic codes to further our modeling capabilities of supernova shockwaves. These improvements, combined with advances in supercomputing capabilities, will enable us to realistically simulate supernova shockwaves to a degree that was previously unfeasible. Our simulations will supply astronomers with synthetic observables that can be directly compared to supernova shockwaves seen in the universe. Finally, these simulations will demonstrate how astrophysical shockwaves can help inform the field of high energy density physics more broadly, and provide context for the design of fusion experiments.

description: After a critical incident (Hanton, Cropley, Neil, Mellalieu & Miles 2007) during a school cricket coaching session, the issue of a coaches’ philosophy of coaching emerged. The realisation that as a coach I had allowed myself to become a purveyor of information without an understanding of the background of those being coached led to the development of a caring coaching philosophy. An examination of the literature highlights the long held belief that involvement in sport inherently develops positive behaviours, yet there is little evidence to support this belief. However, where the behaviours to be developed are explicitly targeted there is evidence to support their development (Hellison 2003, Wright and Burton 2008, Galvan 2010, Riley 2012. Based upon this, the approach to develop social and emotional skills and behaviours in children in areas of high indices of multiple deprivation (IMD) was developed. Using a behaviour matrix based upon the work of Cothram and Kulinna (2007), the school’s behaviour policy and the UK Government behaviour and discipline policy (www.education.gov.uk), Year 3 pupils were exposed to a school based cricket coaching program. Time was taken prior to the coaching program to get to know the participants through the medium of photoelicitation, individual and group interviews and focus groups. A 12-week coaching program was then commenced with the first 4 weeks being a traditional schools approach then, using the spirit of cricket as a vehicle an 8-stage caring coaching approach was adopted. During the 12 week coaching programme the class teacher made extensive notes about the observed behaviour of the children and the coach kept a reflective diary as part of an autoethnography. Using Straussian Grounded Theory as a basis of analysis four key themes emerged as the principles of caring coaching – awareness of the perceptions of the participants, understanding the lives as lived by the participants, the development of positive relationships and the development of social competence. The latter was through a process of 6 E’s – exposure, explanation, examples, engagement, expansion and enhancement. A one-year follow up with the children identified that they were still aware of the explicit concepts developed, and could give examples from their own lives both in school and out of school, demonstrating transference. The development of caring coaching has the potential to revolutionise the delivery of sports coaching within a school setting, offering more than simple technical and tactical instruction, developing the child as a whole by developing social competence.

description: The optical response of epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) metasurface/material has gained significant interest recently as these materials show near-zero permittivity and exhibit unique optical properties, including strong optical confinement and abnormal light-matter interaction and optical nonlinearity. While ultrathin ENZ metasurfaces are promising for the ultrathin and lightweight photonic components and devices, several fundamental challenges limit the use of current ENZ optical materials for practical optical applications, including (1) low power operation because of high optical losses (2) limits to the maximum achievable optical confinement in conventional bulk ENZ materials (3) lack of efficient tunability due to the fixed electron density of the metallic or semiconducting ENZ material.

 This proposal opens a new scientific direction for tunable ENZ metasurfaces by developing novel 2D ENZ materials with low optical losses, high damage threshold, and large tunability, overcoming the limitations of conventional materials and opening the field of nanophotonics and metamaterials of 2D materials for novel optical and laser applications that require exceptionally fast speeds and exceptional precision. We will develop tunable 2D ENZ metasurfaces for high power laser applications and perform this project using the high-power laser characterization facility at LLNL and the ENZ material fabrication and characterization in Lee’s Lab at UCI. This project is significant because it will enable implementation of novel electrically tunable 2D ENZ devices, such as beam steering devices and optical switches/limiters, with high operation speeds, low energy consumption, and high power operation for advanced high power laser technologies for defense, imaging/sensing, and telecommunication. This fellowship program also exploits LLNL’s Lasers and Optical Science and Technology core competency. It is relevant to the use of advanced optical metasurfaces in the Directed energy focus area, enabling better performance of steering and aberration correction of laser beams. It is also strongly aligned with LLNL’s core competency in Advanced Materials and Manufacturing for laser-based systems for additive manufacturing using 3D volumetric printing and selective laser melting of powder beds, enabling better accuracy and speed of the raster beam system and thus scalability.

description: Honey bees are essential to global agriculture and food security. In the U.S., bees pollinate over 100 commercially grown crops and increase their values by over $15 billion each year, including the world’s biggest pollination event of CA almond trees. Bee populations are in decline, with chronic colony losses driven by biological (parasites, pathogens), dietary (poor nutrition), climate (warmer, dryer) and man-made (pesticides) stressors. Risk assessments often focus on single pesticide safety profiles based on worker bee lethality tests. Yet, the effects of co-exposure to two or more pesticides and their metabolites have been poorly studied. In addition, low-dose effects of those compounds on the most essential members of a bee hive, the queen bee and her developing larvae, have not been evaluated.
 To better understand how environmental mixtures of crop pesticides can enter, disperse, and accumulate within a beehive and promote synergistic toxicity to vulnerable colony members, I propose to trace and quantify radioactively labeled single and binary combinations of pesticides through biologically relevant matrices, from nectar to nurse bee to queen bee to larvae. The fate and levels of compounds will also be analyzed in bee products of human consumption and commercial interest, honey and wax. Such studies are often hampered by the small amounts of chemicals and metabolites that are exchanged via food (trophallaxis) between hive members and the inability to trace a pesticide metabolite detected in bee products back to its biological source within the hive. These sensitivity challenges lead me to the unique Biological Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) facility at LLNL to trace non-lethal amounts of radiolabeled pesticides. Dr. Bruce Buchholz is an expert in biological tracers and has successfully applied AMS to study pesticide levels in Argentinian ant colonies.

 This project aims to characterize the biochemical flow of pesticides through a bee colony and to locate and mitigate biological sinks within the hive. The immediate goal is to help beekeepers to develop replacement strategies to assure survival of a colony. The long-term goal is to systematically analyze multiple pesticide exposures to inform regulatory guidelines on best bee and pesticide management strategies to improve the economic value of pollination and food security in the U.S.

description: X-ray radiography is an essential imaging tool across many fields. In high-energy-density plasmas, x-ray backlighting aids in extracting various physical properties from the system. The use of high-intensity lasers focused on high-Z foil targets produce relativistic electrons that generate MeV photons via Bremsstrahlung, Compton scattering, and synchrotron emission. The advantages over existing sources include smaller spot size, shorter pulse duration, tailorable spectra, and flexible configurations. This enables imaging with higher spatial and temporal resolution and multiple fields of view. The ability to resolve finer features on dense objects and capture physical processes on the order of picoseconds would be transformational; however, certain limiting factors must be addressed to achieve such a source.

 Ideally, laser energy would be coupled to the front surface of the target and converted to x-rays at the rear surface. Typical short pulse lasers have pedestals prior to the peak pulse that create pre-plasmas near the front surface, reflecting a large fraction of incident energy. The x-ray dose increases as energy deposition is improved, and to that end the use of high-contrast lasers will minimize the pedestal that creates the pre-plasma. In addition, developments in target fabrication have permitted nano-structured and foam targets to be deployed. These system conditions introduce the relativistically induced transparency regime where the laser penetrates deeper into the target, yielding greater conversion efficiency.

 While increases in efficiency are necessary, there must be stability in the spectrum and dose for the source to be a viable diagnostic. The object must experience uniform irradiation with minimal spot motion. Resulting pre-plasmas filament beams which in turn degrade the reproducibility of emissions. Experiments will quantify this stability and validate models that facilitate the design of radiographic systems for targeted applications. Addressing these factors will be possible using LANL’s extensive resources, such as VPIC and MNCP transport codes that model the generation of hot-electrons and x-rays, respectively, and the lab’s expertise in target fabrication and connection with high-contrast laser facilities. Ultimately, laser-based x-ray sources will enable new applications in the weapons program and broader scientific community.

Comments.
Based on the comparison of S. spinicollis and B. sumatrensis, we found that there are no significant differences between the two species. For example, in both species, the body colour is predominantly pale reddish brown, the pronotum has a small, rounded, ochraceous pubescent patch on each side of the anterior margin, which is distinctly separated from the outer pubescent patch and the posterior large, rounded pubescent patch, and the elytra that are unevenly scattered with the yellowish brown pubescence. Therefore, we propose that B. sumatrensis Breuning, 1966 is a junior synonym of S. spinicollis Breuning & de Jong, 1941.
As B. sumatrensis is the type species of Bulbolmotega, this genus becomes a junior synonym of the genus Spinosodus.

description: Recently, the DOE has funded efforts involving multiple national laboratories to develop therapeutic treatments for emerging biothreats, namely SARS-CoV-2 (National Virtual Biotechnology Laboratory). The known drug-like chemical space is regularly cited as being on the order of 1e60 possibilities and experiment feedback can occur on the order of days or longer. Atomistic Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations have made progress as comparatively rapid computational feedback mechanisms that produce atomistic descriptions of biomolecules over a temporal scale that serve as the basis for SOA methods for ranking potential lead molecules predicted to interact with a target protein. It is well documented that MD simulations require specialized computing architectures to reach relevant timescales. MD simulations also exhibit poor sampling efficiency in exploration of configuration space, which is a primary focus of current MD research.
 Structure-based deep learning methods (SDL) trained on experimentally derived atomistic “snapshots” have demonstrated the ability to perform competitively compared to more expensive MD-based scoring methods. SOA-competitive SDL methods developed and applied at LLNL on several projects to rank potential SARS-CoV-2 viral protein inhibitors have highlighted significant challenges. SDL methods lack dynamic information of the interaction and are subject to limited experimental training data. MD has seldom been explored in the literature to address these issues.
 A better understanding of tradeoffs between combinations of various SDL architectures and data collected from representative MD simulation algorithms would provide a significant improvement in current understanding of approaches to incorporate dynamics information to improve SDL generalization to novel protein targets. We propose to develop an improved model based on our insights and current approaches in the literature to then retroactively compare with previous approaches developed and applied at LLNL. The combination of prior SDL research and current relationships with simulation experts at LLNL puts our team in a unique position to leverage LLNL GPU clusters such as Lassen, our access to high-quality molecular simulation engines such as Amber, our extensive prior experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, and existing data generated from prior related projects.

description: Thirdhand tobacco smoke (THS) refers to persistent and toxic chemical residues from tobacco smoke that remain in indoor environments after smoking has ended, react with ambient oxidants, re-emit from surfaces, and re-suspend from dust deposits. For the last ten years the THS Consortium has been supported by TRDRP and has built a strong science base for understanding its health effects, as well as policy implications and remediation. We propose extending our previous advances in the fields of THS toxicology, exposure science, health impacts, and policy for a new three-year cycle, with a central theme of leveraging THS research to inform and contribute to the California Tobacco Endgame Initiative. We will focus on efforts most relevant to reducing disparities in priority populations. THS, due to its pervasiveness and persistence after smoking has ended, can be a powerful tool to discourage indoor use of tobacco and related products and to engage multiple stakeholder groups (e.g., health, housing, real estate, transportation, hospitality) in this effort. As cannabis products are widely used, often in the same indoor environments as tobacco, we propose to study their contributions to THS indoor contaminants, including those derived from interactions between cannabis and tobacco emissions. Our proposed research projects will advance (1) the development of markers of THS pollution and exposure; (2) our understanding of how we absorb THS toxicants, with an emphasis on uptake through the skin, also known as dermal exposure pathways; (3) insights into disease mechanisms and susceptibility to THS-related harm; (4) knowledge of health disparities, harm, and risks in children; (5) evidence-based approaches to remediation of a THS contaminated indoor environment; and (6) strategies for reaching and effectively communicating with priority populations about THS. These cutting-edge research projects will be supported by Consortium core facilities for biomarkers, environmental chemistry, THS generation, and outreach, dissemination, and community resources. We propose to disseminate our research widely, and engage with public and private stakeholders to develop, implement and promote tobacco control policies that will reduce the adverse impact of THS on public health.

Laos, China (new country record), Vietnam (new country record), Thailand (new country record), and India (new country record).
Comments.
This species is very similar to the type species, S. spinicollis from Indonesia, with the main differences being in body coloration and the shape of pubescent patches on the pronotum. In S. rufomaculatus, the body color is darker, and the premedian pubescent patches on both sides of the pronotum are narrow, transverse, and uniformly ochre-colored, while in the type species, the body color is lighter, and the premedian pubescent patches on the pronotum are nonuniform in color, featuring a distinct, circular ochre spot on the inner side with noticeably lighter pubescence on the outer side.
Previously, S. rufomaculatus was known only from Laos. However, based on our own records presented in this study (Fig. 2 d, e), data and images provided by Xavier Gouverneur (Fig. 2 c, f), and the Cerambycoidea Forum (Vitali 2024), the range of this species has been extended to Guangxi and Yunnan in China, Cao Bang in Vietnam, Phrae in Thailand, and Kerala in India.

description: Thirdhand smoke (THS) refers to tobacco smoke residues in indoor environments that remain, react and/or re-emit form materials and/or re-suspend from surfaces (dust), which clings to hair, skin, clothes, furniture, drapes, walls, carpets, dust, and other surfaces, even long after smoking has stopped. These residues are thought to react with common indoor pollutants to create a toxic mix. Studies have shown that this toxic mix of THS contains cancer-causing substances, posing a potential health hazard to nonsmokers who are exposed to it. Therefore, an emerging human health issue has been raised for exposure to THS. However, there are many unanswered questions in the field of THS as it is still early in the process of characterizing the exposure scenarios as well as potential biological and health effects of THS. Our previous studies have shown that that (1) exposure to THS causes significant DNA damage in human cells and enhances tumorigenic traits; (2) early-life exposure to THS caused persistent immunological alterations in mice; (3) early-life exposure to THS resulted in a mouse strain-dependent increase in cancer incidence, suggesting that genetic backgrounds significantly influence THS-induced cancer development. This proposal aims to address that individual susceptibility across life span impacts cancer risk from THS exposure using a population-based animal model system. It furthermore aims to investigate the toxic and inflammatory effects of exposure to mixed tobacco and cannabis thirdhand smoke. At the completion of this 3-year project, we will identify biomarkers and mechanisms associated with THS health effects and develop a THS risk prediction model based on an individual’s risk profile to THS-induced cancer development and provide guidance to protect the most vulnerable subpopulations. Our research may shed light on whether THS exposures can contribute to cancer development and will delineate molecular mechanisms underlying THS-induced cancer. This understanding is critical to formulate novel cancer preventive strategies including educating health practitioners, families, and public health providers and organizations regarding the potential risks of THS exposures, and to help framing and enforcing new policies against THS in the U.S. and the world.
