Abstract

Here we report the results of an experimental and theoretical study of the gas-phase reactions between O($^1$D) and H$_2$O and O($^1$D) and D$_2$O at room temperature and below. On the experimental side, the kinetics of these reactions have been investigated over the 50-127 K range using a continuous flow Laval nozzle apparatus, coupled with pulsed laser photolysis and pulsed laser induced fluorescence for the production and detection of O($^1$D) atoms respectively. Experiments were also performed at 296 K in the absence of a Laval nozzle. On the theoretical side, the existing full-dimensional ground X$^1$A potential energy surface for the H$_2$O$_2$ system involved in this process has been reinvestigated and enhanced to provide a better description of the barrierless H-atom abstraction pathway. Based on this enhanced potential energy surface, quasiclassical trajectory calculations and ring polymer molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to obtain low temperature rate constants. The measured and calculated rate constants display similar behaviour above 100 K, showing little or no variation as a function of temperature. Below 100 K, the experimental rate constants increase dramatically, in contrast to the essentially temperature independent theoretical values. The possible origins of the divergence between experiment and theory at low temperatures are discussed.

Abstract

Because of the very peculiar conditions of chemistry in many astrophysical gases (low densities, mostly low temperatures, kinetics-dominated chemical evolution), great efforts have been devoted to study molecular signatures and chemical evolution. While experiments are being performed in many laboratories, it appears that the efforts directed towards theoretical works are not as strong. This report deals with the present status of chemical physics/physical chemistry theory, for the qualitative and quantitative understanding of kinetics of molecular scattering, being it reactive or inelastic. By gathering several types of expertise, from applied mathematics to physical chemistry, dialog is made possible, as a step towards new and more adapted theoretical frameworks, capable of meeting the theoretical, methodological and numerical challenges of kinetics-dominated gas phase chemistry in astrophysical environments. A state of the art panorama is presented, alongside present-day strengths and shortcomings. However, coverage is not complete, being limited in this report to actual attendance of the workshop. Some paths towards relevant progress are proposed., Comment: 24 pages, 7 figures. White paper reporting a workshop held in Garching, Nov 23-Dec 4, 2015

Abstract

Wastewater surveillance for pathogens using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is an effective, resource-efficient tool for gathering additional community-level public health information, including the incidence and/or prevalence and trends of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater may provide an early-warning signal of COVID-19 infections in a community. The capacity of the world’s environmental microbiology and virology laboratories for SARS-CoV-2 RNA characterization in wastewater is rapidly increasing. However, there are no standardized protocols nor harmonized quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) procedures for SARS-CoV-2 wastewater surveillance. This paper is a technical review of factors that can lead to false-positive and -negative errors in the surveillance of SARS-CoV-2, culminating in recommendations and strategies that can be implemented to identify and mitigate these errors. Recommendations include, stringent QA/QC measures, representative sampling approaches, effective virus concentration and efficient RNA extraction, amplification inhibition assessment, inclusion of sample processing controls, and considerations for RT-PCR assay selection and data interpretation. Clear data interpretation guidelines (e.g., determination of positive and negative samples) are critical, particularly during a low incidence of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater. Corrective and confirmatory actions must be in place for inconclusive and/or potentially significant results (e.g., initial onset or reemergence of COVID-19 in a community). It will also be prudent to perform inter-laboratory comparisons to ensure results are reliable and interpretable for ongoing and retrospective analyses. The strategies that are recommended in this review aim to improve SARS-CoV-2 characterization for wastewater surveillance applications. A silver lining of the COVID-19 pandemic is that the efficacy of wastewater surveillance was demo
