Establishing Cost-Effective Computational Models for the Prediction of Lanthanoid Binding in [Ln(NO)] (with Ln = La to Lu).

Evaluating the efficiency of predictive methods is critical to the processes of upscaling laboratory processes to full-scale operations on an industrial scale. With regard to separation of lanthanoids, there is a considerable motivation to optimize these processes because of immediate use in nuclear fuel cycle operations, nuclear forensics applications, and rare-earth metal recovery. Efficient predictive capabilities in Gibbs free energies of reaction are essential to optimize separations and ligand design for selective binding needed for various radiochemical applications such as nuclear fuel disposition and recycling of lanthanoid fission products into useful radioisotope products.

Structural Characteristics, Population Analysis, and Binding Energies of [An(NO)] (with An = Ac to Lr).

Efficient predictive capabilities are essential for the actinide series since regulatory constraints for radioactive work, associated costs needed for specialized facilities, and the short half-lives of many actinides present great challenges in laboratory settings. Improved predictive accuracy is advantageous for numerous applications including the optimization and design of separation agents for nuclear fuel and waste. One limitation of calculations in support of these applications is that the large variations observed from predictions obtained with currently available methods can make comparisons across studies uncertain.

Structural Analysis of the Complexation of Uranyl, Neptunyl, Plutonyl, and Americyl with Cyclic Imide Dioximes.

Knowledge-based design of extracting agents for selective binding of actinides is essential in stock-pile stewardship, environmental remediation, separations, and nuclear fuel disposal. Robust computational protocols are critical for in depth understanding of structural properties and to further advance the design of selective ligands. In particular, rapid radiochemical separations require predictive capabilities for binding in the gas phase.

The Performance of two silica based ion exchange resins in the separation of Bi from its parent solution of Ac.

The performance of two inorganic ion exchange resins, Isolute SCX and Isolute SCX-2, were compared to the performance of the organic resin AG-50X8 in the separation of the radionuclide bismuth-213 from its parent solution of actinium-225. The breakthrough of the actinium-225 for all three columns was well below the toxicity level but the Isolute SCX and Isolute SCX-2 produced less of the bismuth-213 available on the column.

Gas chemical adsorption characterization of lanthanide hexafluoroacetylacetonates.

Newly-established adsorption enthalpy and entropy values of 12 lanthanide hexafluoroacetylacetonates, denoted Ln[hfac], along with the experimental and theoretical methodology used to obtain these values, are presented for the first time. The results of this work can be used in conjunction with theoretical modeling techniques to optimize a large-scale gas-phase separation experiment using isothermal chromatography. The results to date indicate average adsorption enthalpy and entropy values of the 12 Ln[hfac] complexes ranging from -33 to -139 kJ/mol K and -299 to -557 J/mol, respectively.

Review of current nuclear fallout codes.

The importance of developing a robust nuclear forensics program to combat the illicit use of nuclear material that may be used as an improvised nuclear device is widely accepted. In order to decrease the threat to public safety and improve governmental response, government agencies have developed fallout-analysis codes to predict the fallout particle size, dose, and dispersion and dispersion following a detonation. This paper will review the different codes that have been developed for predicting fallout from both chemical and nuclear weapons.

Characterization and thermogravimetric analysis of lanthanide hexafluoroacetylacetone chelates.

This work reports the thermodynamic characterizations of organometallic species as a vehicle for the rapid separation of volatile nuclear fission products via gas chromatography due to differences in adsorption enthalpy. Because adsorption and sublimation thermodynamics are linearly correlated, there is considerable motivation to determine sublimation enthalpies. A method of isothermal thermogravimetric analysis, TGA-MS and melting point analysis are employed on thirteen lanthanide 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetone complexes to determine sublimation enthalpies.

Gas-phase detection of solid-state fission product complexes for post-detonation nuclear forensic analysis.

This study presents the first known detection of fission products commonly found in post-detonation nuclear debris samples using solid sample introduction and a uniquely coupled gas chromatography inductively-coupled plasma time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Rare earth oxides were chemically altered to incorporate a ligand that enhances the volatility of the samples. These samples were injected (as solids) into the aforementioned instrument and detected for the first time.

A Three-Wave Longitudinal Test of Self-Determination Theory's Mediation Model of Engagement and Disaffection in Youth Sport.

Research adopting self-determination theory (SDT) supports a mediation model whereby coach motivational styles (autonomy support and interpersonal control) predict athletes' engagement and disaffection in youth sport via the satisfaction and frustration of psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness). Our study extends this research by examining SDT's mediation model longitudinally with three waves of data. Two hundred fifty-two youth sports participants (Mage = 12.

Thermodynamic analysis of volatile organometallic fission products.

The ability to perform rapid separations in a post nuclear weapon detonation scenario is an important aspect of national security. In the past, separations of fission products have been performed using solvent extraction, precipitation, etc. The focus of this work is to explore the feasibility of using thermochromatography, a technique largely employed in superheavy element chemistry, to expedite the separation of fission products from fuel components.

Production of Synthetic Nuclear Melt Glass.

Realistic surrogate nuclear debris is needed within the nuclear forensics community to test and validate post-detonation analysis techniques. Here we outline a novel process for producing bulk surface debris using a high temperature furnace. The material developed in this study is physically and chemically similar to trinitite (the melt glass produced by the first nuclear test).

Development of synthetic nuclear melt glass for forensic analysis.

A method for producing synthetic debris similar to the melt glass produced by nuclear surface testing is demonstrated. Melt glass from the first nuclear weapon test (commonly referred to as trinitite) is used as the benchmark for this study. These surrogates can be used to simulate a variety of scenarios and will serve as a tool for developing and validating forensic analysis methods.

Relationships between the coach-created motivational climate and athlete engagement in youth sport.

Youth sport is a source of well-being for adolescents, yet experiences vary and attrition can be high. We sought to better understand the coach behaviors that foster positive experiences in youth sport by examining relationships between the motivational climate and athlete engagement (viz., confidence, dedication, enthusiasm, and vigor).

The mediating role of psychological need satisfaction in relationships between types of passion for sport and athlete burnout.

Research indicates that obsessive and harmonious passion can explain variability in burnout through various mediating processes (e.g., Vallerand, Paquet, Phillippe, & Charest, 2010).
