1. From crystal phase mixture to pure metal-organic frameworks – Tuning pore and structure properties

Abstract: In this study, a sonochemical route for the preparation of a new Hf-MIL-140A metal–organic framework from a mixture of UiO-66/MIL-140A is presented. The sonochemical synthesis route not only allows the phase-pure MIL-140A structure to be obtained but also induces structural defects in the MIL-140A structure. The synergic effect between the sonochemical irradiation and the presence of a highly acidic environment results in the generation of slit-like defects in the crystal structure, which increases specific surface area and pore volume. The BET-specific surface area in the case of sonochemically derived Zr-MIL-140A reaches 653.3 m2/g, which is 1.5 times higher than that obtained during conventional synthesis. The developed Hf-MIL-140A structure is isostructural to Zr-MIL-140A, which was confirmed by synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (SR-XRD) and by continuous rotation electron diffraction (cRED) analysis. The obtained MOF materials have high thermal and chemical stability, which makes them promising candidates for applications such as gas adsorption, radioactive waste removal, catalysis, and drug delivery.

Abstract: Funding: This work was supported by Faraday Institution (Grant-FIRG018). We are grateful to Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) for the Light Element Facility Grant (EP/T019298/1) and Strategic Equipment Resource Grant (EP/R023751/1). Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are emerging as promising devices for energy storage applications. Porous solids, such as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), are well suited as electrode materials for technologies involving bulkier charge carriers. However, only limited progress has been made using pristine MOFs, primarily due to lack of redox-active organic groups in the materials. In this work a azo-functional MOF, namely UiO-abdc, is presented as an electrode compound for sodium-ion insertion. The MOF delivers a stable capacity (∼100 mA h g−1) over 150 cycles, and post-cycling characterisation validates the stability of the MOF and participation of the azo-group in charge storage. This study can accelerate the realisation of pristine solids, such as MOFs and other porous organic compounds, as battery materials. Publisher PDF

Abstract: Zeolites are a class of microporous materials with tremendous value for large scale industrial applications such as catalysis, ion exchange, or gas separation. In addition to naturally ocurring variants, zeolites are made synthetically using hydrothermal synthesis, requiring temperatures beyond 100 °C and long reaction times up to weeks. Furthermore, specific applications may require more sophisticated synthesis conditions, expensive reagents, or post-synthetic modifications. Some of these issues can be tackled by using the reemerged technique of mechanochemistry. In 2014, Majano et al. reviewed the space and outlined several possibilities for the usage of mechanical forces in zeolite chemistry. Since then the field has seen many more publications employing mechanochemical methodology to further and improve the synthesis and properties of zeolite materials. The usage ranges from the activation of raw materials, rendering the synthesis of the widely used catalysts much more economical in terms of duration, atom efficiency, and production of waste, to post-synthetic modification of the materials leading to improved properties for target aplications. We present a short review of the advances that have been reported recently, highlight promising work and important studies, and give a perspective of potential future endeavours., Recent advances of mechanochemical methods in the field of zeolite science are reviewed and their future potential highlighted.

Abstract: Efficient hydrolysis of zeolites in the ADOR process using mechanochemistry, including economical enrichment with 17O for solid-state NMR., The ADOR (Assembly-Disassembly-Organisation-Reassembly) process for zeolites has been shown to produce a number of previously unknown frameworks inaccessible through conventional synthesis methods. Here, we present successful mechanochemically assisted hydrolysis of germanosilicate zeolite UTL leading to ADOR products under mild conditions, low amounts of solvent and in short reaction times. The expansion of zeolite synthesis into the realm of mechanochemistry opens up feasible pathways regarding the production of these materials, especially for industrial purposes, as well as an exciting application for economical enrichment of materials with the low natural abundance NMR-active isotope of oxygen, 17O. The results from mechanochemically assisted hydrolysis differ from those seen in the traditional ADOR approach: differences that can be attributed to a change in solvent availability.

D.N.R. acknowledges the EPSRC (grant: EP/N509759/1) for funding. Sodium-ion batteries are commanding increasing attention owing to their promising electrochemical performance and sustainability. Organic electrode materials (OEMs) complement such technologies as they can be sourced from biomass and recycling them is environmentally friendly. Organic anodes based on sodium carboxylates have exhibited immense potential, except the limitation of current synthesis methods concerning upscaling and energy costs. In this work, a rapid and energy efficient microwave-assisted synthesis for organic anodes is presented using sodium naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate as a model compound. Optimizing the synthesis and electrode composition enables the compound to deliver a reversible initial capacity of ≈250 mAh g–1 at a current density of 25 mA g–1 with a high initial Coulombic efficiency (≈78%). The capacity is stable over 400 cycles and the compound also exhibits good rate performance. The successful demonstration of this rapid synthesis may facilitate the transition to preparing organic battery materials by scalable, efficient methods. Publisher PDF

Abstract: The assembly–disassembly–organisation–reassembly (ADOR) process is an important tool to access zeolite structures that are otherwise unfeasible via hydrothermal methods. In situ flow pair distribution function (PDF) analysis has been used to probe the mechanism of the disassembly and organisation steps, with the disassembly a rapid step that is often difficult to capture. Zeolite UTL was hydrolysed by 6 M hydrochloric acid, with PDF measurements used to monitor framework alterations as the reaction proceeded. The resulting disassembly mechanism shows an initial rapid removal of germanium from the germanium-rich double 4 rings (d4r), followed by silicon rearrangement and gradual silanol condensation to form IPC-2P., A four step mechanism for the disassembly and organisation stages of the ADOR process was determined using in situ flow pair distribution function.

Subjects: Materials science, Chemical engineering, Electron diffraction, Transmission electron microscopy, Scanning electron microscope, Microporous material, Zeolite, Porosity, Heterogeneous catalysis, Catalysis
Abstract: Heterogeneous catalysis is crucial branch of chemistry, having unprecedented impact on nearly every aspect of our life. Zeolites as crystalline microporous solids have found application in many industrial catalytic processes like fluid catalytic cracking (FCC), hydrogenations, polymerisations, or alkylations. Their main advantages are defined pore structure resulting in so-called shape/size-selectivity and presence of Bronsted acid sites due to the trivalent atoms (such as Al) in the framework. The proper design of zeolite catalysts, study of the crystal formation, their morphology, structural properties, location of active species, porosity and structural determination of new materials often requires support by advanced characterisation techniques Among them, electron microscopy and related methods are often essential for the thorough description of mentioned features. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) describe the morphology and surface of crystals of zeolite catalysts. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), including scanning mode (STEM), supported by electron diffraction (ED) methods can give crucial information about structure, especially when conventional methods are limited for the full description of solid catalysts, like zeolites. Often those techniques are supported by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) for the elemental analysis of the samples. This chapter is an overview focused on electron microscopy and related characterisation techniques as well as their utilisation in the fields of design, synthesis, and formation of crystals, characterisation, and performance of zeolites as heterogeneous catalysts.

Abstract: Chemically and structurally flexible zeolites that adapt to coordinate extra-framework cations show a rich variety of gas adsorption behavior. Zeolite framework composition can be tuned to optimize pore geometry and host-guest interaction to improve selectivity. Herein, we report the study on the influence of zeolite framework nature on the separation of CO2/CH4, for CHA system containing variable isomorphously substituted heteroelements (none, B, Al, Ga, and Ti). Their performance has been evaluated by single-component isotherms and the overall separation ability was found to be related to both the geometry of 8-ring pore apertures in CHA and interaction between zeolite host and guest molecules, as revealed by Rietveld refinement of PXRD after dehydration and variable-pressure FTIR spectroscopy. Nearly isotropic geometry of the 8-ring pore opening in Al-CHA (3.84 × 3.89 A) was obtained, while Ga-CHA exhibits the largest distortion (3.76 × 3.93 A). Despite the smallest ionic radius of B, both the pore size of 8-ring (3.76 × 3.86 A) as well as the unit cell volume are the smallest amongst the studied materials. Due to the combination of both the textural and the chemical factors, the maximum CO2 capacity and separation selectivity over CH4 follows the order Al-CHA > Ga-CHA > B-CHA ≈ Si-CHA > Ti-CHA. These observations suggest that tuning the framework composition of zeolite can strongly influence the separation of small molecules such as CO2 and CH4.

The third metatarsal has a base that is very small relative to bone length, dorso-plantarly short and with a marked dorsoplantar convexity of the proximal articular facet. The proximal pedal phalanx (rays 2��4) shares shape affinities with Australopithecus: marked longitudinal curvature, parallel medial and lateral sides in dorsal view, a small bicondylar head and weak dorsal canting of the proximal articular surface (unlike African and European early Homo, H. naledi, H. neanderthalensis, H. floresiensis and H. sapiens). Description and comparison of the fossil elements Of the seven posterior maxillary teeth, six are from the right side (CCH6-a to CCH6-e and CCH9) and one (CCH8) is from the left (Fig. 2a, f, g, Extended Data Fig. 1 and Supplementary Information). The M 2 (CCH6-b) and one of the M 3 s (CCH9) are complete; the other teeth have well-preserved crowns, and at least one��but sometimes all��roots are partly broken. Micro-fissures are present in the enamel, dentine and cementum, and the pulp cavity is generally filled by calcium carbonate; however, these post-depositional modifications do not affect the size, shape or morphological attributes of the teeth. In comparison to Australopithecus, Paranthropus and other species of the genus Homo, the maxillary postcanine teeth of H. luzonensis are small and mesio-distally compressed, and there is a marked contrast between the relative size and shape of the premolars and molars (Figs. 2��4 and Extended Data Figs. 1��4). The upper molars of H. luzonensis have small crown sizes with a M 1 > M 2 > M 3 pattern and simplified occlusal surface morphology with a reduced number of cusps and an absence of marked crenulations at the EDJ (Fig. 3 and Extended Data Fig. 1). These derived features are found in other Late Pleistocene species of the genus Homo (that is, H. neanderthalensis, H. floresiensis and H. sapiens), but in this respect H. luzonensis molars more closely resemble those of H. sapiens 4, 5. However, the M 1 and M 2 of H. luzonensis have smaller crown sizes than those of H. sapiens (Fig. 3 and Extended Data Fig. 2d, e). Compared to the molars of H. floresiensis, H. luzonensis molars are smaller and the M 1 is not more mesio-distally compressed than the other postcanine teeth 6, 7 (Extended Data Figs. 2��4). For their diminutive size and simplified crown morphology, H. luzonensis molars also differ considerably from Asian H. erectus 4, 5, 8, 9 and Denisovans 10, although the EDJ of H. luzonensis M 1 shows some shape affinities with several Indonesian H. erectus specimens (Extended Data Fig. 4f, h). H. luzonensis premolars are noticeably large relative to the molarseven more so than seen in H. floresiensis and unlike the pattern seen in other hominins, except Paranthropus (Fig. 3)��and also display several primitive features. For instance, the P 3 and P 4 crowns are asymmetric with a large and mesially displaced lingual cusp, as in early Homo 11, and complete or partial mesial transverse ridges are present on the upper premolars, similar to those of H. floresiensis 6, 7. Developed mesial and distal vertical grooves are also evident on the buccal aspects of the P 3 and P 4; features that are more frequent in early Homo than in H. sapiens 12 and that are absent in H. floresiensis 6, 7. Moreover, H. luzonensis premolars have multiple roots (P 3 has three, P 4 has two) that are robust and highly divergent, an archaic condition typically found in Australopithecus, Paranthropus and early Homo 13. Multiple robust and divergent premolar roots also occur in Asian H. erectus (Early Pleistocene Indonesian and Middle Pleistocene Chinese specimens), but are rare in H. sapiens and absent in H. floresiensis 4, 6, 9, 12 �� 17. CCH8 (Fig. 2f and Extended Data Fig. 1f), an isolated left upper premolar, exhibits three roots (typically a P 3 feature) with a relatively symmetric crown (typically a P 4 feature). If CCH8 is a P 4, a similar three-rooted condition has not been reported for any Pleistocene Homo from Asia and is rarely found in modern humans (1 to 3%) 13, 14. In terms of absolute tooth size and premolar��molar proportions, H. luzonensis shows a pattern that is not seen elsewhere in the genus Homo (Fig. 3 and Extended Data Fig. 2). Although Paranthropus shows similarly large premolars relative to molars (Fig. 3), the maxillary postcanine teeth of H. luzonensis differ markedly from those of Paranthropus in absolute size and shape (Extended Data Fig. 2). Multivariate statistical analysis of P 3 ��M 2 dental diameters results in H. luzonensis clustering with Asian H. erectus. Both species are characterized by almost similarly sized first and second molars, large premolars relative to molars and postcanine teeth that are mesio-distally compressed (Extended Data Fig. 2g, h). The mesio-distally compressed shape of the M 1 of H. luzonensis is also visible in the results of the elliptic Fourier analysis of the crown contour, in which H. luzonensis plots at the margins of the range of variation for H. sapiens (which is characterized by more squared or rhomboidal M 1 s) (Extended Data Fig. 3). H. luzonensis differs from H. floresiensis, which displays an M 1 crown contour shape that is even more mesio-distally compressed and has a more developed protocone (Extended Data Fig. 3c, f). Threedimensional geometric morphometric analyses of the P 3 and P 4 EDJs discriminate CCH6 and CCH8 from fossil and extant H. sapiens, H. neanderthalensis and Asian H. erectus, with H. luzonensis occupying its own area of the morphospace or sharing it with H. floresiensis when the latter is included (Fig. 4 and Extended Data Fig. 4d, e). The 3D geometric morphometric analyses of M 1 and M 2 EDJs are less clear, with H. luzonensis clustering with extant H. sapiens and Asian H. erectus (Extended Data Fig. 4f), with extant H. sapiens only (Extended Data Fig. 4g), with Asian H. erectus only (Extended Data Fig. 4h), or by itself (Extended Data Fig. 4i). However, the overall pattern of morphology seen in the dental remains of H. luzonensis is easily distinguishable from all previously described hominin species. CCH2 is an intermediate manual phalanx with a total length of 32.5 mm (interarticular length, 31 mm; Fig. 2b, Supplementary Information and Supplementary Table 2). The bone is complete and well-preserved, but it was recovered broken just distal of the midshaft in two refitting parts (Extended Data Fig. 5a). On the basis of the asymmetry of the proximal and distal ends, it belongs to rays 2, 3 or 4 of the left hand. CCH2 displays primitive features such as an elongated and dorso-palmarly compressed shaft and well-developed flexor sheath attachments (Extended Data Fig. 5b). All these features are observed in Australopithecus 18 �� 20 and to a lesser extent in the Homo habilis holotype OH7 21 (but see a previous publication 22), but not in other Homo species that show more derived morphologies 23 �� 26 (Extended Data Fig. 5c), although a primitive morphology is reported for H. naledi 27. Metric (Extended Data Fig. 5 d��f) and 3D geometric morphometric analyses (Extended Data Fig. 6) show that the intermediate manual phalanx of H. luzonensis is long, narrow medio-laterally (base, shaft and head) and markedly curved. These shape characteristics are shared with Australopithecus and H. floresiensis, but not with H. naledi (which shares shape affinities with Paranthropus /early Homo specimens from Swartkrans), and are seen occasionally in H. sapiens (Extended Data Fig. 6a, d, e). H. floresiensis differs from H. luzonensis and most other hominins by the shape of the phalangeal head, which��in lateral or medial view��has a very small diameter and is only slightly palmarly deviated relative to the proximo-distal axis of the shaft (Extended Data Fig. 6b, c). An idiosyncratic feature that differentiates H. luzonensis from all other species of Homo is the strong development and proximal projection of the dorsal beak and this may have limited extension at the interphalangeal joint. CCH5 is a complete and well-preserved distal manual phalanx 15.9 mm in total length (interarticular length, 15.6 mm; Fig. 2c, Extended Data Fig. 7, Supplementary Information and Supplementary Table 2). Its laterality and ray cannot be determined with certainty, but its proximal articular surface is too small to articulate with CCH2. The proportions of CCH5 (apical tuft expansion and robusticity indices) are within the ranges of variation for H. sapiens and Australopithecus and outside those of H. neanderthalensis and H. floresiensis 23, 28 (Extended Data Fig. 7d, e). CCH4 is a complete and well-preserved right proximal pedal phalanx of rays 2, 3 or 4 (Fig. 2d, Extended Data Fig. 8, Supplementary Information and Supplementary Table 2) that is 27.4 mm long (interarticular length, 26.5 mm). It shows primitive�� Australopithecus -likefeatures, including pronounced longitudinal curvature of the shaft in lateral view, parallel medial and lateral diaphyseal margins in dorsal view and well-developed flexor sheath attachments in the distal two-thirds of the shaft, bordered by marked plantar crests (Extended Data Fig. 8b, c). The base is small, with a circular proximal articular surface that displays dorsal canting and articular angles of 94.5�� and 89.6��, respectively. These angular values are outside of the ranges of variation for H. sapiens, H. neanderthalensis, H. naledi and H. floresiensis, but within those of Australopithecus afarensis and Australopithecus africanus 20, 29 �� 31 (Extended Data Fig. 8f, g). The head is relatively small, bicondylar and proximo-dorsally to disto-plantarly compressed, with a plantar breadth that is larger than its dorsal one. All of these features are typically found in combination in Australopithecus 19, 20, 29, 31. The morphology of the proximal pedal phalanges of H. floresiensis has also been described as Australopithecus -like in some respects (for example, absence of an hourglass shape) 32, 33; however, the combination of features found in CCH4 is essentially indistinguishable from the features of A. afarensis and A. africanus as shown by a 3D geometric morphometric shape analysis (Fig. 5). Although proximal pedal phalanges are missing from the Asian H. erectus fossil record, those known for African and European species (for example, H. naledi, Homo antecessor and H. neanderthalensis) suggest that the morphology of H. luzonensis is unique among the genus Homo 26, 31, 34.

A detailed list of specimens can be found in Supplementary Table 6. CCH3 is a complete and well-preserved intermediate pedal phalanx with a total length of 16.3 mm (interarticular length, 14.9 mm; Fig. 2e, Extended Data Fig. 9, Supplementary Information and Supplementary Table 2). Because the shape, size and morphology of this element is highly variable in H. sapiens and other hominins, little can be said at this time about its comparative morphology; however, it visually more closely resembles the intermediate pedal phalanges of H. sapiens and H. floresiensis than it does those of A. afarensis (Extended Data Fig. 9c). The previously published third metatarsal (CCH1) 1, 2 has a proximal base that is particularly small compared to the total length of the bone. It is further characterized by a pronounced triangular shape with a short dorso-plantar height and a medio-laterally expanded dorsal aspect, and a marked dorso-plantar convexity of the proximal articular facet for the lateral cuneiform. The latter feature, which is very uncommon in hominins, has been reported (since the description of CCH1) in a fourth metatarsal of Australopithecus sediba 35. The referred specimen, CCH7, is a partial left femur from which both the proximal and distal ends are missing (Fig. 2h, Extended Data Fig. 10 and Supplementary Information). Transverse slices of micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) scans show a high density of Haversian canals in the cortical bone that is characteristic of a growing juvenile individual (Extended Data Fig. 10c). Implications of H. luzonensis for hominin evolution The Late Pleistocene hominin fossils from Callao Cave show a combination of dental and postcranial (hand and foot) features that is distinct from currently known species of the genus Homo (Supplementary Table 3). The premolars of H. luzonensis combine size and shape features seen in other Late Pleistocene species of the genus Homo (for example, H. neanderthalensis, H. floresiensis and H. sapiens) with primitive morphological features of the crown, EDJ and roots, which are typically found in earlier hominins, including Australopithecus and Paranthropus (Supplementary Table 3). The molars are extremely small and their external morphology resembles those of H. sapiens and��to a lesser extent��those of H. floresiensis, whereas some of their EDJ shapes show affinities with those of Asian H. erectus. Notable similarities are observed between H. luzonensis and Australopithecus in the anatomy of their manual and pedal elements. The morphologies of the hands and feet of Australopithecus, which are generally described as an intermediate between the morphologies of great apes and modern humans, are typically interpreted either as indicating adaptations to various degrees of bipedalism and climbing and/or suspension 36 or as reflecting the retention of plesiomorphic features in obligatory bipeds 35, 37. However, the partial and fragmentary nature of the H. luzonensis postcranial elements presently limits further interpretation of its locomotor and manipulative abilities. The origin of H. luzonensis, as well as its phylogenetic relationships with other hominins present in eastern Asia at around the same timeincluding H. sapiens 38, H. floresiensis 39 and Denisovans 10, and hominins recently discovered in China 40 ��remains to be determined. As is the case for most hominins recovered from tropical Asia 41, attempted DNA extraction from H. luzonensis fossils has been unsuccessful. Direct dates on H. luzonensis tooth and bone samples indicate it was present on Luzon before 50 kyr ago 1, 3 and the recent discovery 42 of stone tools and a butchered rhinoceros in the nearby Cagayan Valley indicates t, Published as part of D��troit, Florent, Mijares, Armand Salvador, Corny, Julien, Daver, Guillaume, Zanolli, Cl��ment, Dizon, Eusebio, Robles, Emil, Gr��n, Rainer & Piper, Philip J., 2019, A new species of Homo from the Late Pleistocene of the Philippines, pp. 181-186 in Nature 568 on pages 1-5, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-019-1067-9, http://zenodo.org/record/2640603, {"references":["1.

Abstract: We present the results of a LIGO search for short-duration gravitational waves (GWs) associated with the 2006 March 29 SGR 1900+14 storm. A new search method is used, "stacking'' the GW data around the times of individual soft-gamma bursts in the storm to enhance sensitivity for models in which multiple bursts are accompanied by GW emission. We assume that variation in the time difference between burst electromagnetic emission and potential burst GW emission is small relative to the GW signal duration, and we time-align GW excess power time-frequency tilings containing individual burst triggers to their corresponding electromagnetic emissions. We use two GW emission models in our search: a fluence-weighted model and a flat (unweighted) model for the most electromagnetically energetic bursts. We find no evidence of GWs associated with either model. Model-dependent GW strain, isotropic GW emission energy E_GW, and \gamma = E_GW / E_EM upper limits are estimated using a variety of assumed waveforms. The stacking method allows us to set the most stringent model-dependent limits on transient GW strain published to date. We find E_GW upper limit estimates (at a nominal distance of 10 kpc) of between 2x10^45 erg and 6x10^50 erg depending on waveform type. These limits are an order of magnitude lower than upper limits published previously for this storm and overlap with the range of electromagnetic energies emitted in SGR giant flares., Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures

Abstract: A widely used assumption within the gravitational-wave community has so far been that a test mass acts like a rigid body for frequencies in the detection band, i.e. for frequencies far below the first internal resonance. In this paper, we demonstrate that localized forces, applied for example by a photon pressure actuator, can result in a non-negligible elastic deformation of the test masses. For a photon pressure actuator setup used in the gravitational-wave detector GEO 600, we measured that this effect modifies the standard response function by 10% at 1 kHz and about 100% at 2.5 kHz.

Abstract: The fourth science run of the LIGO and GEO 600 gravitational-wave detectors, carried out in early 2005, collected data with significantly lower noise than previous science runs. We report on a search for short-duration gravitational-wave bursts with arbitrary waveform in the 64-1600 Hz frequency range appearing in all three LIGO interferometers. Signal consistency tests, data quality cuts, and auxiliary-channel vetoes are applied to reduce the rate of spurious triggers. No gravitational-wave signals are detected in 15.5 days of live observation time; we set a frequentist upper limit of 0.15 per day (at 90% confidence level) on the rate of bursts with large enough amplitudes to be detected reliably. The amplitude sensitivity of the search, characterized using Monte Carlo simulations, is several times better than that of previous searches. We also provide rough estimates of the distances at which representative supernova and binary black hole merger signals could be detected with 50% efficiency by this analysis., Comment: Corrected amplitude sensitivities (7% change on average); 30 pages, submitted to Classical and Quantum Gravity

Abstract: We report on a matched-filter search for gravitational wave bursts from cosmic string cusps using LIGO data from the fourth science run (S4) which took place in February and March 2005. No gravitational waves were detected in 14.9 days of data from times when all three LIGO detectors were operating. We interpret the result in terms of a frequentist upper limit on the rate of gravitational wave bursts and use the limits on the rate to constrain the parameter space (string tension, reconnection probability, and loop sizes) of cosmic string models., Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures.

Abstract: We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries, of total mass between 2 and 35M(circle dot), using LIGO observations between November 14, 2006 and May 18, 2007. No gravitational-wave signals were detected. We report upper limits on the rate of compact binary coalescence as a function of total mass. The LIGO cumulative 90%-confidence rate upper limits of the binary coalescence of neutron stars, black holes and black hole-neutron star systems are 1.4x10(-2), 7.3x10(-4) and 3.6x10(-3) yr(-1) L-10(-1), respectively, where L-10 is 10(10) times the blue solar luminosity.

Abstract: This paper reports on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from sources such as deformed isolated rapidly-spinning neutron stars. The analysis uses 840 hours of data from 66 days of the fifth LIGO science run (S5). The data was searched for quasi-monochromatic waves with frequencies f in the range from 50 Hz to 1500 Hz, with a linear frequency drift \dot{f} (measured at the solar system barycenter) in the range -f/\tau < \dot{f} < 0.1 f/\tau, for a minimum spin-down age \tau of 1000 years for signals below 400 Hz and 8000 years above 400 Hz. The main computational work of the search was distributed over approximately 100000 computers volunteered by the general public. This large computing power allowed the use of a relatively long coherent integration time of 30 hours while searching a large parameter space. This search extends Einstein@Home's previous search in LIGO S4 data to about three times better sensitivity. No statistically significant signals were found. In the 125 Hz to 225 Hz band, more than 90% of sources with dimensionless gravitational-wave strain tensor amplitude greater than 3e-24 would have been detected., Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures

Abstract: According to general relativity a perturbed black hole will settle to a stationary configuration by the emission of gravitational radiation. Such a perturbation will occur, for example, in the coalescence of a black hole binary, following their inspiral and subsequent merger. At late times the waveform is a superposition of quasi-normal modes, which we refer to as the ringdown. The dominant mode is expected to be the fundamental mode, l=m=2. Since this is a well-known waveform, matched filtering can be implemented to search for this signal using LIGO data. We present a search for gravitational waves from black hole ringdowns in the fourth LIGO science run S4, during which LIGO was sensitive to the dominant mode of perturbed black holes with masses in the range of 10 Msun to 500 Msun, the regime of intermediate-mass black holes, to distances up to 300 Mpc. We present a search for gravitational waves from black hole ringdowns using data from S4. No gravitational wave candidates were found; we place a 90%-confidence upper limit on the rate of ringdowns from black holes with mass between 85 Msun and 390 Msun in the local universe, assuming a uniform distribution of sources, of 3.2 x 10^{-5} yr^{-1} Mpc^{-3} = 1.6 x 10^{-3}yr^{-1} L_{10}^{-1}, where L_{10} is 10^{10} times the solar blue-light luminosity., 8 pages, 6 figures

Abstract: We report on an all-sky search with the LIGO detectors for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range 50-1100Hz and with the frequency's time derivative in the range -5×10-9-0Hzs-1. Data from the first eight months of the fifth LIGO science run (S5) have been used in this search, which is based on a semicoherent method (PowerFlux) of summing strain power. Observing no evidence of periodic gravitational radiation, we report 95% confidence-level upper limits on radiation emitted by any unknown isolated rotating neutron stars within the search range. Strain limits below 10-24 are obtained over a 200-Hz band, and the sensitivity improvement over previous searches increases the spatial volume sampled by an average factor of about 100 over the entire search band. For a neutron star with nominal equatorial ellipticity of 10-6, the search is sensitive to distances as great as 500pc. © 2009 The American Physical Society.

Abstract: A search for periodic gravitational waves, from sources such as isolated rapidly-spinning neutron stars, was carried out using 510 hours of data from the fourth LIGO science run (S4). The search was for quasi-monochromatic waves in the frequency range from 50 Hz to 1500 Hz, with a linear frequency drift f-dot (measured at the solar system barycenter) in the range -f/tau < f-dot < 0.1 f/tau, where the minimum spin-down age tau was 1000 years for signals below 300 Hz and 10000 years above 300 Hz. The main computational work of the search was distributed over approximately 100000 computers volunteered by the general public. This large computing power allowed the use of a relatively long coherent integration time of 30 hours, despite the large parameter space searched. No statistically significant signals were found. The sensitivity of the search is estimated, along with the fraction of parameter space that was vetoed because of contamination by instrumental artifacts. In the 100 Hz to 200 Hz band, more than 90% of sources with dimensionless gravitational wave strain amplitude greater than 1e-23 would have been detected., 29 pages, 19 figures

Abstract: We present the results obtained from an all-sky search for gravitational-wave (GW) bursts in the 64-2000 Hz frequency range in data collected by the LIGO detectors during the first year (November 2005 - November 2006) of their fifth science run. The total analyzed livetime was 268.6 days. Multiple hierarchical data analysis methods were invoked in this search. The overall sensitivity expressed in terms of the root-sum-square (rss) strain amplitude h_{rss} for gravitational-wave bursts with various morphologies was in the range of 6 times 10^{-22} Hz^{-1/2} to a few times 10^{-21} Hz^{-1/2}. No GW signals were observed and a frequentist upper limit of 3.6 events per year on the rate of strong GW bursts was placed at the 90% confidence level. As in our previous searches, we also combined this rate limit with the detection efficiency for selected waveform morphologies to obtain event rate versus strength exclusion curves. In sensitivity, these exclusion curves are the most stringent to date., Comment: v3: various figure and text edits; submitted to PRD; 26 pages

Abstract: An error has been found in the computation of the C parameter defined in Eq. (44), which led to its overestimation by a factor 2(1/4). The correct values for C are 9.2, 9.7, and 9.3 for the multi-interferometer, H1 and L1 analyses, respectively. None of the upper limits presented in the article were affected.

Abstract: We present an all-sky search for gravitational waves in the frequency range 1 to 6 kHz during the first calendar year of LIGO's fifth science run. This is the first untriggered LIGO burst analysis to be conducted above 3 kHz. We discuss the unique properties of interferometric data in this regime. 161.3 days of triple-coincident data were analyzed. No gravitational events above threshold were observed and a frequentist upper limit of 5.4 events per year on the rate of strong gravitational wave bursts was placed at a 90% confidence level. Implications for specific theoretical models of gravitational wave emission are also discussed., Comment: 13 pages, accepted for publication in Physical Review D

Abstract: We have searched for gravitational waves from coalescing low mass compact binary systems with a total mass between 2 and 35 Msun and a minimum component mass of 1 Msun using data from the first year of the fifth science run (S5) of the three LIGO detectors, operating at design sensitivity. Depending on mass, we are sensitive to coalescences as far as 150 Mpc from the Earth. No gravitational wave signals were observed above the expected background. Assuming a compact binary objects population with a Gaussian mass distribution representing binary neutron star systems, black hole-neutron star binary systems, and binary black hole systems, we calculate the 90%-confidence upper limit on the rate of coalescences to be 3.9 \times 10^{-2} yr^{-1} L_{10}^{-1}, 1.1 \times 10^{-2} yr^{-1} L_{10}^{-1}, and 2.5 \times 10^{-3} yr^{-1} L_{10}^{-1} respectively, where $L_{10}$ is $10^{10}$ times the blue solar luminosity. We also set improved upper limits on the rate of compact binary coalescences per unit blue-light luminosity, as a function of mass., Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures, 2 tables; changes associated with referee comments, inclusion of recent LIGO calibration data, fixing small error in upper limit calculation

Abstract: We present the results of a LIGO search for short-duration gravitational waves (GWs) associated with Soft Gamma Repeater (SGR) bursts. This is the first search sensitive to neutron star f-modes, usually considered the most efficient GW emitting modes. We find no evidence of GWs associated with any SGR burst in a sample consisting of the 27 Dec. 2004 giant flare from SGR 1806-20 and 190 lesser events from SGR 1806-20 and SGR 1900+14 which occurred during the first year of LIGO's fifth science run. GW strain upper limits and model-dependent GW emission energy upper limits are estimated for individual bursts using a variety of simulated waveforms. The unprecedented sensitivity of the detectors allows us to set the most stringent limits on transient GW amplitudes published to date. We find upper limit estimates on the model-dependent isotropic GW emission energies (at a nominal distance of 10 kpc) between 3x10^45 and 9x10^52 erg depending on waveform type, detector antenna factors and noise characteristics at the time of the burst. These upper limits are within the theoretically predicted range of some SGR models., Comment: 6 pages, 1 Postscript figure

Abstract: We report on a search for gravitational waves from the coalescence of compact binaries during the third and fourth LIGO science runs. The search focused on gravitational waves generated during the inspiral phase of the binary evolution. In our analysis, we considered three categories of compact binary systems, ordered by mass: (i) primordial black hole binaries with masses in the range 0.35 M(sun) < m1, m2 < 1.0 M(sun), (ii) binary neutron stars with masses in the range 1.0 M(sun) < m1, m2 < 3.0 M(sun), and (iii) binary black holes with masses in the range 3.0 M(sun)< m1, m2 < m_(max) with the additional constraint m1+ m2 < m_(max), where m_(max) was set to 40.0 M(sun) and 80.0 M(sun) in the third and fourth science runs, respectively. Although the detectors could probe to distances as far as tens of Mpc, no gravitational-wave signals were identified in the 1364 hours of data we analyzed. Assuming a binary population with a Gaussian distribution around 0.75-0.75 M(sun), 1.4-1.4 M(sun), and 5.0-5.0 M(sun), we derived 90%-confidence upper limit rates of 4.9 yr^(-1) L10^(-1) for primordial black hole binaries, 1.2 yr^(-1) L10^(-1) for binary neutron stars, and 0.5 yr^(-1) L10^(-1) for stellar mass binary black holes, where L10 is 10^(10) times the blue light luminosity of the Sun., 12 pages, 11 figures

Abstract: We report on an all-sky search with the LIGO detectors for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range 50-1000 Hz and with the frequency's time derivative in the range -1.0E-8 Hz/s to zero. Data from the fourth LIGO science run (S4) have been used in this search. Three different semi-coherent methods of transforming and summing strain power from Short Fourier Transforms (SFTs) of the calibrated data have been used. The first, known as "StackSlide", averages normalized power from each SFT. A "weighted Hough" scheme is also developed and used, and which also allows for a multi-interferometer search. The third method, known as "PowerFlux", is a variant of the StackSlide method in which the power is weighted before summing. In both the weighted Hough and PowerFlux methods, the weights are chosen according to the noise and detector antenna-pattern to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio. The respective advantages and disadvantages of these methods are discussed. Observing no evidence of periodic gravitational radiation, we report upper limits; we interpret these as limits on this radiation from isolated rotating neutron stars. The best population-based upper limit with 95% confidence on the gravitational-wave strain amplitude, found for simulated sources distributed isotropically across the sky and with isotropically distributed spin-axes, is 4.28E-24 (near 140 Hz). Strict upper limits are also obtained for small patches on the sky for best-case and worst-case inclinations of the spin axes., Comment: 39 pages, 41 figures An error was found in the computation of the C parameter defined in equation 44 which led to its overestimate by 2^(1/4). The correct values for the multi-interferometer, H1 and L1 analyses are 9.2, 9.7, and 9.3, respectively. Figure 32 has been updated accordingly. None of the upper limits presented in the paper were affected

Abstract: We carry out two searches for periodic gravitational waves using the most sensitive few hours of data from the second LIGO science run. The first search is targeted at isolated, previously unknown neutron stars and covers the entire sky in the frequency band 160-728.8 Hz. The second search targets the accreting neutron star in the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1, covers the frequency bands 464-484 Hz and 604-624 Hz, and two binary orbit parameters. Both searches look for coincidences between the Livingston and Hanford 4-km interferometers. For isolated neutron stars our 95% confidence upper limits on the gravitational wave strain amplitude range from 6.6E-23 to 1E-21 across the frequency band; For Scorpius X-1 they range from 1.7E-22 to 1.3E-21 across the two 20-Hz frequency bands. The upper limits presented in this paper are the first broad-band wide parameter space upper limits on periodic gravitational waves using coherent search techniques. The methods developed here lay the foundations for upcoming hierarchical searches of more sensitive data which may detect astrophysical signals., 35 pages, 30 figures

Abstract: We have searched for gravitational waves (GWs) associated with the SGR 1806−20 hyperflare of 27 December 2004. This event, originating from a Galactic neutron star, displayed exceptional energetics. Recent investigations of the x-ray light curve’s pulsating tail revealed the presence of quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs) in the 30–2000 Hz frequency range, most of which coincides with the bandwidth of the LIGO detectors. These QPOs, with well-characterized frequencies, can plausibly be attributed to seismic modes of the neutron star which could emit GWs. Our search targeted potential quasimonochromatic GWs lasting for tens of seconds and emitted at the QPO frequencies. We have observed no candidate signals above a predetermined threshold, and our lowest upper limit was set by the 92.5 Hz QPO observed in the interval from 150 s to 260 s after the start of the flare. This bound corresponds to a (90% confidence) root-sum-squared amplitude h^(90%)_(rss-det) =4.5×10^(−22) strain Hz^(−1/2) on the GW waveform strength in the detectable polarization state reaching our Hanford (WA) 4 km detector. We illustrate the astrophysical significance of the result via an estimated characteristic energy in GW emission that we would expect to be able to detect. The above result corresponds to 7.7×10^(46) erg (=4.3×10^(−8) M_⊙c^2), which is of the same order as the total (isotropic) energy emitted in the electromagnetic spectrum. This result provides a means to probe the energy reservoir of the source with the best upper limit on the GW waveform strength published and represents the first broadband asteroseismology measurement using a GW detector.

Abstract: We searched for an anisotropic background of gravitational waves using data from the LIGO S4 science run and a method that is optimized for point sources. This is appropriate if, for example, the gravitational wave background is dominated by a small number of distinct astrophysical sources. No signal was seen. Upper limit maps were produced assuming two different power laws for the source strain power spectrum. For an f^-3 power law and using the 50 Hz to 1.8 kHz band the upper limits on the source strain power spectrum vary between 1.2e-48 Hz^-1 (100 Hz/f)^3 and 1.2e-47 Hz^-1 (100 Hz /f)^3, depending on the position in the sky. Similarly, in the case of constant strain power spectrum, the upper limits vary between 8.5e-49 Hz^-1 and 6.1e-48 Hz^-1. As a side product a limit on an isotropic background of gravitational waves was also obtained. All limits are at the 90% confidence level. Finally, as an application, we focused on the direction of Sco-X1, the closest low-mass X-ray binary. We compare the upper limit on strain amplitude obtained by this method to expectations based on the X-ray luminosity of Sco-X1., Comment: 11 pages, 9 figures, 2 tables

Abstract: A processing error in the signal template used in this search led to upper limits about 30% lower than we now know is warranted by the early S5 data. We have re-analyzed that data and find new upper limits on the strain parameter h 0 of 4.9 × 10–25/3.9 × 10–25 for uniform/restricted prior assumptions concerning the Crab inclination and polarization angles. These results have now been superseded by upper limits of 2.6 × 10–25/2.0 × 10–25 based on the full S5 data and presented in Abbott et al. (2009). The multitemplate search was not affected by the error. This is an Erratum for the article in Astrophysical Journal, 683 L45 2008

Abstract: Funding: This work was supported by University of St Andrews Restarting Research Funding Scheme (SARRF), funded through the SFC grant reference SFC/AN/08/020 (XRR064) and European Research Council grant ADOR (Advanced Grant 787073). The authors acknowledge the EPSRC Light Element Analysis Facility Grant (EP/T019298/1) and the EPSRC Strategic Equipment Resource Grant (EP/R023751/1). Since the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, a multitude of strategies have been explored for the means of protection and shielding against virus particles: filtration equipment (PPE) has been widely used in daily life. In this work, we explore another approach in the form of deactivating coronavirus particles through selective binding onto the surface of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to further the fight against the transmission of respiratory viruses. MOFs are attractive materials in this regard, as their rich pore and surface chemistry can easily be modified on demand. The surfaces of three MOFs, UiO-66(Zr), UiO-66-NH2(Zr), and UiO-66-NO2(Zr), have been functionalized with repurposed antiviral agents, namely, folic acid, nystatin, and tenofovir, to enable specific interactions with the external spike protein of the SARS virus. Protein binding studies revealed that this surface modification significantly improved the binding affinity toward glycosylated and non-glycosylated proteins for all three MOFs. Additionally, the pores for the surface-functionalized MOFs can adsorb water, making them suitable for locally dehydrating microbial aerosols. Our findings highlight the immense potential of MOFs in deactivating respiratory coronaviruses to be better equipped to fight future pandemics. Publisher PDF

45. Controlled Synthesis of Large Single Crystals of Metal‐Organic Framework CPO‐27‐Ni Prepared by a Modulation Approach: In situ Single‐Crystal X‐ray Diffraction Studies

Abstract: The size of single crystals of the metal‐organic framework CPO‐27‐Ni was incrementally increased through a series of modulated syntheses. A novel linker modulated synthesis using 2,5‐dihydroxyterephthalic acid and the isomeric ligand 4,6‐dihydroxyisophthalic acid yielded large single crystals of CPO‐27‐Ni (∼70 μm). All materials were shown to have high crystallinity and phase purity through powder X‐ray diffraction, electron microscopy methods, thermogravimetry, and compositional analysis. For the first time single‐crystal structure analyses were carried out on CPO‐27‐Ni. High BET surface areas and nitric oxide (NO) release efficiencies were recorded for all materials. Large single crystals of CPO‐27‐Ni showed a prolonged NO release and proved suitable for in situ single‐crystal diffraction experiments to follow the NO adsorption. An efficient activation protocol was developed, leading to a dehydrated structure after just 4 h, which subsequently was NO‐loaded, leading to a first NO loaded single‐crystal structural model of CPO‐27‐Ni., A novel mixed linker modulation approach yielded large single crystals of CPO‐27‐Ni, an analogue that has not yet been able to be studied via single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction due to crystal size limitations. This study investigates the nitric oxide, an important therapeutic agent, gas loading behavior of CPO‐27‐Ni single crystals utilizing an in situ gas cell setup using synchrotron radiation.

46. A re-analysis of electron spin resonance dating results associated with the Petralona hominid

Author: Gru¨n, Rainer
Abstract: Two electron spin resonance (ESR) dating studies of the late 1970s and early 1980s on speleothems associated with the Petralona hominid cranium yielded age estimates of 350–700ka and 200ka, respectively. These dating results are re-assessed in view of more than a decade of progress in ESR dating. The re-assessed values are in reasonable agreement with some independent U-series results on the same material, suggesting an age of 150–250ka for the speleothems bracketing the cranium.

47. ESR and U-series analyses of teeth from the palaeoanthropological site of Hexian, Anhui Province, China

Author: Gru¨n, Rainer, Huang, Pei-Hua, Huang, Wanpo, McDermott, Frank, Thorne, Alan, Stringer, Chris B., and Yan, Ge
Abstract: ESR and U-series analyses of teeth from the palaeoanthropological site of Hexian which containedHomo erectusremains, illustrate the limited effectiveness of stand-alone ESR and U-series age estimates on faunal materials. The problem lies in the unknown U-uptake history causing very large uncertainties in the age results of both techniques. This study demonstrates the particular strength that lies in the integration of ESR and U-series dating analyses allowing the estimation of the U-uptake history. We obtained a combined ESR/U-series age estimate of 412±25ka (average of six analyses on two teeth). This pinpoints the deposition of the faunal remains to the time of the transition between oxygen isotope stages 12 and 11. This is in agreement with the faunal composition which show a mixture of cold adapted northern mammals and more subtropical-tropical southern elements. The age also implies that the advanced HexianHomo erectusoccurred at a similar time as the less advancedHomo erectusspecimens at Locality 1 at Zhoukoudian (LI-LIII).

Abstract: LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration; In gravitational-wave detection, special emphasis is put onto searches that focus on cosmic events detected by other types of astrophysical observatories. The astrophysical triggers, e.g. from gamma-ray and X-ray satellites, optical telescopes and neutrino observatories, provide a trigger time for analyzing gravitational wave data coincident with the event. In certain cases the expected frequency range, source energetics, directional and progenitor information is also available. Beyond allowing the recognition of gravitational waveforms with amplitudes closer to the noise floor of the detector, these triggered searches should also lead to rich science results even before the onset of Advanced LIGO. In this paper we provide a broad review of LIGO's astrophysically triggered searches and the sources they target.

49. [The correlation analysis of amino acids: an aid in the diagnosis of chronic polyarthritis?]

Author: G, Partsch and N, Rainer
Subjects: Arthritis, Rheumatoid, Statistics as Topic, Age Factors, Methods, Humans, Urea, Amino Acids
Abstract: This report is concerned with the correlation analysis of plasma amino acids as a possible tool to differentiate between healthy people and patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Out of 450 theoretically possible correlations between plasma amino acids 95 statistically significant correlations were found in normals whereas 184 correlations were observed in RA. When the method reported here was used to find out whether an unknown sample originated from RA or normal, only one out of 40 RA-samples was incorrect. In controls 3 out of 14 failed. The possibility to use this method for common diagnostic problems is indicated.
