Cold spray offers unique possibilities in processing intermetallic-forming or phase-segregating metallic alloys, which are difficult to address by classical melt-metallurgical processes such as casting or thermal spraying due to the formation of large brittle regions or low melting point and volatile eutectics. An example is the production of thick coatings of the copper-indium-gallium (CIG) system on plates or tubes, as they are required in the fabrication of the CIGS(Se) absorber layer of thin film photovoltaic solar modules on an industrial-scale. At the relevant compositions, extended solidification intervals, such as in casting, create material segregation into large brittle CuGa2-type regions intermixed in an indium-rich matrix rendering the cast non-uniform and fragile with high internal stresses. Shrinkage effect further promote porosity. The equilibrium phase diagrams even allow the retention of pure Ga and the In-Ga eutectic, essentially liquid materials at room temperature and highly undesirable for the application. On the other hand, using rapid solidification by gas atomizing the Cu-In-Ga to produce cold spray powder promotes a fine-scaled and uniform phase distribution and microstructure of Cu(In,Ga), CuIn and In. By decoupling the material synthesis from the forming process, this phase distribution can be fully preserved in the cold spray deposition process to advantageously fabricate the coatings for that application.

In this talk, we present a new methodology for computing projections in tomographic additive manufacturing. Currently, tomographic printing systems require that light-rays in the printing volume are parallel, and have low etendue. In this work, we show that accurate modeling of the light rays through the print volume enables improved printing in systems with diverging beams. We also demonstrate that ray-tracing can compensate for non-parallel projection in 3D. We anticipate that our ray-tracing methodology will relax the hardware requirements necessary in the conventional Radon-based approach, and enable a broader range of tomographic printing configurations.

A recent theoretical proposal for teleamplification requires preparation of Fock states, programmable interferometers, and photon-number resolving detectors to herald the teleamplification of an input state. These enable teleportation and heralded noiseless linear amplification of a photonic state up to an arbitrarily large energy cutoff. We report on adapting this proposal for Borealis and demonstrating teleamplification of squeezed-vacuum states with variable amplification factors. The results match the theoretical predictions and exhibit features of amplification in the teleported mode. This demonstration motivates the continued development of photonic quantum computing hardware for noiseless linear amplification's applications across quantum communication, sensing, and error correction.

These data describe 286 small streams in Canada, Sweden and Finland and the conditions of their riparian buffers. All the study streams were subject to forest harvest between 2010 and 2016 and riparian buffers were left by forest practitioners. We measured number of stream physical properties (size, substrate, channel forms) and the conditions of the associated riparian buffers (width, tree composition, age structure). We further assessed other impairments caused by forestry operations such as machine tracks in the riparian area, drainage ditches connected to the streams, and stream crossing. Those data are also available in the database. Table S3. The separately uploaded table contains data which were used for analyzing riparian buffer widths and the factors affecting it (catchment area, riparian slope and clearcut size), as well as Impairment Index for all sites in all three countries. Table S4-S6. These separately uploaded tables contain all data from the Canadian, Finnish and Swedish sites used in the study, including information on the buffer width and composition, stream properties, impairments, site names, site information and buffer functions. Dessa data beskriver 286 små vattendrag i Kanada, Sverige och Finland och deras kantzoner. Alla vattendrag har varit under avverkning mellan 2010 och 2016 och kantzoner lämnades. Vi mätte antalet fysiska vattendragsegenskaper (storlek, underlag, geomorfiska former) och villkoren för tillhörande kantzoner (bredd, trädsammansättning, åldersstruktur). Vi bedömde vidare andra skogsbruksstörningar som maskinspår i bäcknära zoner, diken anslutna till vattendrag och strömningskorsning. Alla dessa data finns också tillgängliga i databasen.

Physical Functioning, Mental Health, and Quality of Life in Different Congenital Heart Defects: Comparative Analysis in 3538 Patients From 15 Countries. Can J Cardiol. 2021 Feb;37(2):215-223. doi: 10.1016/j.cjca.2020.03.044. Epub 2020 Apr 6. PMID: 32739453. This is the abstract: Background: We compared physical functioning, mental health, and quality of life (QoL) of patients with different subtypes of congenital heart disease (CHD) in a large international sample and investigated the role of functional class in explaining the variance in outcomes across heart defects. Methods: In the cross-sectional Assessment of Patterns of Patient-Reported Outcome in Adults with Congenital Heart Disease-International Study (APPROACH-IS), we enrolled 4028 adult patients with CHD from 15 countries. Diagnostic groups with at least 50 patients were included in these analyses, yielding a sample of 3538 patients (median age: 32 years; 52% women). Physical functioning, mental health, and QoL were measured with the SF-12 health status survey, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), linear analog scale (LAS) and Satisfaction with Life Scale, respectively. Functional class was assessed using the patient-reported New York Heart Association (NYHA) class. Multivariable general linear mixed models were applied to assess the relationship between the type of CHD and patient-reported outcomes, adjusted for patient characteristics, and with country as random effect. Results: Patients with coarctation of the aorta and those with isolated aortic valve disease reported the best physical functioning, mental health, and QoL. Patients with cyanotic heart disease or Eisenmenger syndrome had worst outcomes. The differences were statistically significant, above and beyond other patient characteristics. However, the explained variances were small (0.6% to 4.1%) and decreased further when functional status was added to the models (0.4% to 0.9%). Conclusions: Some types of CHD predict worse patient-reported outcomes. However, it appears that it is the functional status associated with the heart defect rather than the heart defect itself that shapes the outcomes.

The FAA‑funded In-Cloud ICing and Large drop Experiment (ICICLE) presented a watershed moment to test modern era high resolution numerical model forecasts of supercooled liquid water. Furthermore, the field campaign was relatively unique in its opportunity to assess the explicit prediction between small droplet in-cloud icing and freezing drizzle and freezing rain. This talk will show case study results from two flights on 17 Feb 2019 that included multiple hours in freezing drizzle conditions in addition to ice pellets, snow grains, and the more commonly measured in-cloud small droplet icing. Numerical model results using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with 600‑meter grid spacing and the Thompson and Eidhammer (2014) aerosol-aware microphysics scheme are compared against aircraft measurements of aerosol concentration, particle size distributions of water and ice, and on-board radar data as well as surface observations and satellite brightness temperatures.
