FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to frequency combs and, more particularly, to a system and method for improving the stability of a frequency comb by optical feedback.
Optical frequency combs (OFCs) have become essential tools for accurate optical frequency referencing or for spectroscopic applications that require highly coherent broadband light sources. Traditionally, OFCs have been based on optically pumped mode-locked fiber lasers with stabilization schemes that allow for long coherence times and low phase noise. However, these systems are often complex and costly, which has so far limited their use to controlled laboratory environments.
An alternative is provided by semiconductor laser frequency combs, where the comb emission is generated directly by a chip-scale semiconductor laser, whose wavelength can be engineered by careful control of the layered semiconductor growth process. Several advantages accompany this solution: (i) the combs can be produced by modern semiconductor fabrication technology, which enables full scalability of the manufacturing process; (ii) the devices are of chip-scale size allowing for miniaturization of the systems; and (iii) the devices are electronically pumped and highly energy-efficient, which opens for autonomous, battery-powered implementations.
However, a major hurdle for semiconductor laser frequency combs is the non-negligible cavity dispersion associated with these devices. This is an unwanted property of the materials and waveguides that can prevent comb formation. This issue has been well-known ever since the first demonstration of these comb sources and several methods to address this problem have been put forward. The basic principle of these dispersion engineering methods is to characterize the dispersion and compensate the dispersion by altering the waveguide geometry, the cavity losses, or adding a coating to one of the laser facets. Although these techniques have been shown to be effective, specific and often time-consuming fabrication configurations must be implemented for each device, which require fine-tuning and, in many cases, need to be applied manually to each device. Another approach to solve this problem is to inject a low phase-noise radio frequency (rf) signal directly to the devices, a technique commonly referred to as rf injection locking. However, the frequency of the rf signal needs to be closely matched (within 100 kHz) to the round-trip frequency of the laser. Relatively high powers (>10 dBm) are also required. If successful, the intermode beat note of the laser is locked to the injected low noise rf signal and stable comb operation is achieved. The drawback of this approach is the requirement of a low-phase noise rf signal generator capable of frequencies up to 20 GHz, which inevitably adds complexity and cost to the system. Furthermore, the injected frequency needs to be tuned to within ˜100 kHz of the intermode beat note, which limits the usefulness of this technique whenever the lasers are stepped or tuned in frequency.
As such, there is a need for semiconductor frequency combs that address at least some of the above issues.
According to various embodiments, a system for stabilizing operation of semiconductor laser frequency combs is disclosed. The system includes an external cavity having a beam-splitter, polarizer, and mirror mounted on a translational stage. The system also includes a laser facet. The external cavity and laser facet form an external optical resonator for coupling to a laser cavity.
According to various embodiments, a system for stabilizing operation of semiconductor laser frequency combs is disclosed. The system includes an external cavity having at least one partially reflective surface. The system also includes a laser facet. The external cavity and laser facet form an external optical resonator for coupling to a laser cavity.
According to various embodiments, a method for stabilizing operation of semiconductor laser frequency combs is disclosed. The method includes providing an external cavity having at least one partially reflective surface and providing a laser facet. The external cavity and laser facet forming an external optical resonator for coupling to a laser cavity.
Various other features and advantages will be made apparent from the following detailed description and the drawings.
In order for the advantages of the invention to be readily understood, a more particular description of the invention briefly described above will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments that are illustrated in the appended drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only exemplary embodiments of the invention and are not, therefore, to be considered to be limiting its scope, the invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings, in which:

Generally disclosed herein are embodiments for a system and method to extend the operating range of semiconductor laser frequency combs by means of external optical feedback. An external cavity is constructed by adding at least one partially reflective surface to the configuration, which, together with a laser facet, forms an external optical resonator that is coupled to the laser cavity. Under the right external cavity conditions (for example, the cavity length can be ˜10 cm and the feedback intensity can be 0.1%-1%), this strongly favors low phase-noise operation of the semiconductor laser frequency comb, which stabilizes frequency comb operation and allows access to bias and temperature regions previously prone to high phase noise. The external cavity can be miniaturized and incorporated into a laser mount or provided as an accessory to an already packaged laser. This solution circumvents the need for extensive characterization of devices followed by intricate dispersion compensation schemes and can be applied to any semiconductor laser frequency comb, e.g., quantum cascade lasers, interband cascade lasers, or diode lasers.
The embodiments generally disclosed herein expand the comb operating range of semiconductor laser frequency combs. By optically re-injecting light that has been filtered and conditioned by an external cavity, the laser strongly favors low noise comb operation, which enables use under bias and temperature conditions that normally shows high phase noise behavior. Although the disclosed embodiments rely on the addition of an external cavity element to a semiconductor comb, it differs from dispersion compensation techniques such as that using a Gires-Tournois interferometer (GTI). Incorporation of a GTI on a laser device requires precise deposition of layers of dielectric materials and a highly reflective gold layer, which is labor intensive both in its configuration, fabrication, and optimization. In contrast, embodiments of the disclosed optical injection technique allow flexible choice of the external cavity elements as well as length of the external cavity that will allow for simpler manufacturing as well as use of cavity elements that provide additional dispersion compensation (e.g., via tailored selection of optical coatings, or use of diffractive cavity elements). The following parameters of the external cavity used for comb stabilization are characteristic to the embodiments disclosed herein.
(1) Cavity length is usually on the order of cm to 10s of cm determined by the maximum dispersion of the laser device and the laser facet reflectivity.
(2) The external cavity is resonant with the laser device cavity. In other words, the free spectral range (FSR) of the laser cavity should be an integer multiple of the FSR of the external cavity.
(3) Single or multiple external cavity elements can be used including dielectric and/or metallic mirrors, lenses, diffraction gratings, prisms, and polarization optics, as nonlimiting examples. The parameters of external elements (e.g., diffraction grating groove density, multi-layer dielectric mirror coatings) can be tailored to provide compensation of effective cavity dispersion.
(4) Opto-mechanical, electro-optical, or acousto-optical tuning of cavity parameters (e.g., cavity length) will provide means for precise cavity coupling and optimized comb operation.
This flexibility in choosing the external cavity parameters allows practical implementation of the disclosed embodiments at a system level. In addition, the external cavity can be realized with as few optical elements as a pair of reflective surfaces and does not involve any modification to the laser devices. Moreover, while simulations can be performed to predict the ideal external cavity condition, the optimization of optical feedback can be performed empirically without extensive laser characterization as is required for most dispersion compensation techniques art the device level. Therefore, embodiments disclosed herein are a cost-effective way to enable comb operation for otherwise non-dispersion-compensated laser devices.
Embodiments of the disclosed invention include an addition to a laser device that allows for more robust operation of laser frequency combs 10, which can include an interband cascade laser or a quantum cascade laser as nonlimiting examples. The addition is an external cavity, which includes either one or several reflective/transmissive surfaces (apart from the laser facet). Part of the light emitted from the comb 10 is resonant with the external cavity and re-injected into the laser. Since this light has been filtered by the low dispersion external cavity before re-injection, the laser favors low phase-noise operation, which enhances the usability of the comb.
Two exemplary implementations of this approach are shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b). In FIG. 1(a), the external cavity 12 includes a beam-splitter 14 (which could also be a polarizing beam-splitter), a polarizer 16 (for optical feedback rate control) and a mirror 18 mounted on a translational stage or piezo 20 (for cavity length adjustments). This configuration allows for fine tuning of the intensity of the optical feedback without affecting the main laser output that can be used as the coherent source for measurements 22, such as for tunable laser absorption spectroscopy, or for intermode beat note measurements.
Fine tuning of the feedback intensity is performed through rotation of the polarizer 16. A power meter can be placed after the polarizer 16 and before the feedback mirror 18 to measure the transmission as a function of the polarizer rotation angle. By measuring the intermode beat note of the comb while rotating the polarizer 16, the optimal feedback strength can be determined by noting the polarizer angle that results in the narrowest intermode beat note.
FIG. 1(b) depicts a simplified version, where an external cavity 24 includes a partially reflective element 26 (e.g., a window or a beam-splitter) that is used to form the external cavity 24 together with the translational stage or piezo 28 and laser facet 30. Here, the rate of feedback will be controlled by the coating of the partially reflective element 26. The Fresnel reflection from a zinc selenide window, for example, can range from 30% for the coated window surface to <1% for an anti-reflection coated surface. This latter solution requires determination of the optimal optical feedback intensity needed for stable comb operation, whether through experimental means as explained in relation to FIG. 1(a) or through calculations based on comb dispersion data, after which the surface coating of the partially reflective element 26 is configured to meet the required reflection.
While pre-characterization is required for this implementation, it might be preferred compared to the implementation in FIG. 1(a) from a manufacturing perspective due to its simplicity. Once the surface coating of the partially reflective element 26 is configured, the distance between 26 is adjusted with respect to the laser facet 30. The intermode beat note can be monitored during this adjustment process to experimentally determine the best placement position of partially reflective element 26 that results in the narrowest intermode beat note. This setup then remains stationary for any spectroscopic measurements using the laser output transmitted through the partially reflective element 26.
Other forms of external cavities (e.g., high finesse cavities, V-shaped cavities) can be implemented as well depending on the application. The external cavity elements may also be coated with custom optical coatings depending on the embodiment. Custom coatings can be optical thin film coatings that tailor reflectivity of the optical interfaces. Examples include anti-reflection coatings (AR coatings), high-reflection coatings (HR coatings), or a custom reflectivity coating that can be used to increase reflectivity at some optical wavelengths while decrease reflectivity at others. They can be used to tailor optical feedback of the external cavity for an optimum compensation of dispersion of a laser frequency comb.
In semiconductor (e.g., quantum- or interband-cascade laser) frequency combs, a narrow intermode beat note indicating comb operation can be measured by electrical means (e.g., using a bias-T to isolate the high frequency oscillation from the current supply leads, or an antenna to pick up electromagnetic radiation produced by the frequency comb at its intermode beat note frequency). FIG. 2(a) shows the intermode beat note that fluctuates as a function of time in a laser perturbed by unwanted optical feedback. This unwanted feedback could originate from any optical surface in the system capable of reflecting light back into the laser and gives rise to highly unstable behavior of the laser comb, which is here reflected by the widening and fluctuations of the intermode beat note. This phenomenon is widely acknowledged and requires careful configuration of the optical systems, with motor-controlled rotating polarizers, neutral density filters, and variable apertures inserted at strategic positions to limit this parasitic effect. However, when the developed technique based on a controlled optical feedback is applied to the laser, the intermode beat note clearly narrows and stable comb operation is obtained as illustrated in FIG. 2(b). The system is now less susceptible to other sources of optical feedback hence less effort to minimize these are needed.
In FIGS. 3(a)-(c), the effects of frequency tuning via the injection current is shown. In FIG. 3(a), the intermode beat note is shown as a function of injection current when the external cavity provides appropriate optical feedback (the external cavity length is synchronously varied). Highly linear behavior is observed without any regions that would indicate a loss of comb operation. In contrast, FIG. 3(b) shows the intermode beat note without the controlled optical feedback. As can be seen, the beat note width varies and regions with a wide beat note start to appear, indicating a loss of comb properties. FIG. 3(c) shows the tuning of modes measured by a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) when using the external cavity optical feedback. The modes tune linearly over the current range measured.
As such, embodiments generally disclosed herein depict a system and method to extend the operating range of semiconductor laser frequency combs by means of external optical feedback. An external cavity is constructed by adding at least one partially reflective surface to the configuration, which, together with a laser facet, forms an external optical resonator that is coupled to the laser cavity. This can strongly favor low phase-noise operation of the semiconductor laser frequency comb, which stabilizes frequency comb operation and allows access to bias and temperature regions previously prone to high phase noise.

Song Review: The Electric Dream (Jonathan Gering Remix) – Mord Fustang
Jonathan Gering has remixed the "Electric Dream," by Mord Fustang, and the product is an exceptional, melodious experience. The odd song title and artist, as well as the fact that this song is a remix, may be unappealing to most. However, it is a feel good song that has variety and up-beats, making it very stimulating. The original song by Mord Fustang is significantly different from this version, but definite similarity between the two songs can be drawn. The title accurately reflects the mood and atmosphere of the song, as at times it feels very dream like, which leaves the listener in a state of reverie.
The song is seven minutes and 47 seconds long, which is long, but far from boring. The Electric Dream begins as any typical dance or techno song—with bass. As the song progresses, the listener is introduced to a cheerful and enticing melody. This serves to segue the song into the first drop, which comes after about two minutes. At this point, some high pitch beeps are presented, which are brief, but somewhat distracting and annoying. The song progresses past this stage after a bit, and returns to the introductory melody which functions as a build up of more to come.
At the halfway point of the song, at about 3 minutes and 50 seconds, comes the most interesting and significant drop. Here, the song almost takes a different direction, but it seems to fit the style and cadence previously established. Now, the song becomes dubstep-like, but not the typical sounds associated with this genre. The sounds are unique and strikingly positive, and are sure to get the listener into a good mood. A pumping bassline is still present, and to be truly enjoyed a listener should be sure to have quality speakers or headphones.
After a minute or so of this sequence, the song pulls back into a somewhat trance like state, with a muted melody and an ambient glow of sounds. But the song comes right back with an accelerated buildup that leads to a point that can catch the listener off-guard. For a split second, it seems as though the song is over, but this only leaves the listener wanting more. What makes this song great is that it delivers with more danceable sequences that tie directly to the main melody of this song, now enhanced to fully energize the audience. After an unforgettable series of beats, the song takes the time to curtail the established energy and ends by slowly eliminating these elements.
Overall, "The Electric Dream" by Mord Fustang, remixed by Jonathan Gering, is a feel-good song chock full of exciting drops. The song will be well accepted by techno, electric, or dance music enthusiasts, but anyone with an open taste in music will be sure to find the song engaging.

Thermoelectric modules have high mechanical strength under compression and can typically survive compressive loads of up to 1000 psi. Thermoelectric modules do not perform well under shear or tensile loading. As a result, the mechanical design of any thermoelectric system must ensure that only compressive loads are applied to the modules. Solid State Cooling System's extensive expertise in the mechanical design of thermoelectric systems ensures that premature thermoelectric module failure from improper mechanical loading will not occur.
Thermoelectric modules must reject the heat they transfer plus the electrical energy applied to them. This requires intimate thermal contact between the TE module hot side and its heat sink. Poor thermal contact will result in overheating of the TE module, which will significantly reduce performance and could lead to premature module failure.
Moisture is the nemesis of thermoelectric modules. Moisture inside a thermoelectric module can lead to reduced performance and premature failure of the device. Moisture can both corrode materials inside the module and provide a ground path between the module's electrically hot components and the heat sink, leading to an electric short. Both scenarios will lead to premature module failure. Solid State Cooling Systems overlays a triple seal on its products to ensure moisture never enters the modules. First, the thermoelectric module is sealed with a highly moisture resistant acrylic epoxy. Next, the heat sink/cold plates are sealed with a silicone RTV. Finally, the entire thermoelectric assembly, bolts and all, are coated with another silicone barrier. In-house tests show that Solid State Cooling Systems thermoelectric heat exchangers can operate for over 6 months completely submerged in water!
Thermoelectric module reliability is reduced when the material interfaces inside the module are cycled in temperature. Cycling these interfaces, such as between the Bi2Te3 crystals and copper inter-connecting pads, or between the copper pads and the ceramic covers, can lead to material fatigue and structural failure due to the different rates of thermal expansion between these materials.
There are two ways to cycle thermoelectric module interface temperatures: cycling the operating temperature or cycling the operating current. The more rapid the cycling, the sooner the failure.
Cycling the operating temperature is typically a process requirement, but optimum system design and module selection can maximize the number of cycles before failure. In one study, by iTi Ferrotec, a two stage 150 °C rated thermoelectric module assembly cycled from -55 °C to 125 °C produced a MTBF of 8100 cycles while the same assembly using 200 °C rated modules yielded an MTBF of 17,500 cycles. In another test, single stage 200 °C rated modules were cycled from +30 °C to +100 °C. None of the modules tested failed at less than 25,000 cycles, with an MTBF for the group of 68,000 cycles.
Cycling the operating current of thermoelectric modules causes changes in internal temperatures even when the system temperature is kept constant. In one test, 150 °C rated thermoelectric modules cycled on and off every 15 seconds (7.5 seconds on, 7.5 seconds off) at a constant temperature exhibited an MTBF of 30 million cycles. In a separate test, thermoelectric modules cycled between cooling and heating at a constant system temperature exhibited an MTBF of 16 million cycles.
Tests have shown this cycling phenomenon exists until switching frequencies reach approximately 1000 Hz (1000 cycles per second). As a result, the choice of control schemes can substantially impact module reliability. On/off or pulse width modulation at frequencies of less than 1000 Hz can have a major impact on module reliability. For example, a 1 Hz (one cycle per second) pulse width modulation control at a constant system temperature will turn on and off 31.5 million times in one year, when operated 24 hrs/day, 365 days per year. Such a thermoelectric system would have an MTBF of less than one year. The same system using a variable current supply would have an MTBF of about 200,000 hours, or 22.8 years. As a result, on/off control (such as thermostats) and pulse width modulated control less than 1000 Hz is not recommended for high reliability systems. Such systems must use a variable output supply, such as Solid State Cooling Systems Switchback 6600 power supply.

Sam Nunberg ran a one man blitz on the news circuit yesterday at a phrenetic pace that would make Trump's tweets jealous. In a matter of a few hours he managed to get interviewed by multiple networks and increasingly displayed just how much of a shambles our political atmosphere is in. If you didn't know who he is or just how much of a joke this presidency is….i'm sure you do now. His erratic behavior, off color remarks and see-saw style of communicating is a microcosm of how bizarre the "leadership" of this country has conducted itself.
Sam began his day with words of bravado defying the subpoena issued by Robert Mueller's office. Followed by insults to Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Corey Lewandowski, Carter Page, Donald Trump and a slew of other characters associated with the administration. He saved his kind words and admiration for the two "stand up guys", Roger Stone & Steve Bannon, we've all grown to love (SARCASM).
Sam Nunberg is also the same individual that was hired by the Trump campaign, then fired, then rehired just to be fired again. He was later sued by Trump for 10 million dollars (which was settled amicably) but remains a supporter despite disliking him for poor treatment. Does that have your head spinning yet? If not, there's more!
During Nunberg's later rants in the evening, he suggested that the FBI does have some damaging information on Trump and that he would end up cooperating with the investigation afterall. Yes you just read that change of heart in the same article.
Believe it or not…this is the reality show we are living under in America these days and this is the worse one yet!

For a moment in time, Felix Baumgartner captured the attention of the world when he became the first human to break the speed of sound. Sponsored by energy drink Red Bull, it was the ultimate act of branding: a visual, living expression of the values that the company purported to represent.
Snack brand Nature Valley drew attention to its commitment to public land when it used Google's Street View technology to create an immersive digital experience for the hiking trails in three parks: Yellowstone, the Great Smoky Mountains, and the Grand Canyon. And Toyota gave away 100 cars to deserving nonprofits that were selected by the public, engaging millions while connecting the brand to values like generosity and giving back.

When inserting a Storyline block into Rise the text becomes blurry?
Can you please explain how can I fix this?
I have the same problem. If you change the "Story Size" (width/ Heigth) in storyline and/ or the "small, - medium - full" settings in rise the result is better or worse... but it is trial and error. Maybe we could have an optimal settings recommendation by Articualte?
I have noticed that changing it to medium or large in Rise makes it slightly clear although I don't really want it to take up that much space.
Thanks for letting us know what's going on, and I'm happy to help.
Do you notice that the Storyline block looks more blurry in some browsers? For example, if you test the course in both Chrome and Internet Explorer, do you notice that the Storyline content looks more blurry in Chrome?
If you don't mind sending me the Rise "Share" link, I'd love to help you test it!
Can I send the link privately?
You can share with us privately by uploading it to me here. Happy to take a look at your example if you can pass it along, and feel free to share the Rise course link and a copy of your .story file.
I am experiencing the same issues. All my Storyline blocks are fuzzy. Was there a resolution to the above question. Also, I am using Chrome.
I saw you also submitted a Support case so that we can take a look at your project. Thanks!
One of my colleagues will be in touch as soon as they've had a chance to test it.
Any update on this? Is there a magic storyline size?
The reported issues seem specific to viewing in Chrome. Is that what you're experiencing as well?

Deutsche Welle March 13, 2016 Be the first to comment
German engineering giant Siemens has announced it'll have to cut thousands of jobs in a realignment program. But it added it would start a huge hiring initiative as of next year to reflect the firm's new structure.
Siemens said Wednesday it would cut 2,500 jobs in its process industries and drives division (PD) in a reorganization of the company aimed at coping with a slump in the oil and gas sectors.
The Munich-based firm said the move was also meant to reflect sluggish business in the metals and mining segments.
"Plunging demand in raw materials markets has led to a significant intensification of competition, particularly in Asia," PD CEO Jürgen Brandes said in a statement.
"To guarantee our competitiveness, we've got to adapt to these conditions," he added.
Temporary reduction of global workforce
Out of the positions to be cut, 2,000 will be axed in Germany, with 1,000 jobs being slashed completely, while another 1,000 will be relocated to eastern Europe and Asia.
Jürgen Wechsler from the IG Metall union criticized the announcement, calling the plan "a knee-jerk reaction" and devoid of imagination."
Siemens emphasized that the cuts this year would be followed by massive hiring as of 2017 as the company kept shifting to a "digital industrial firm."
Management said it would hire at least 25,000 people each year globally as of 2017, with some 3,000 new jobs to be created annually in Germany.

VakıfBank became the first team to secure a slot in the semi-finals of the CEV Champions League Volley 2022 | Women, doing so for the 10th time in a row in the top-tier European club competition. Last week, the rookies Developres prevailed 3-2. The rematch brought a fierce fight that ended with a 4-set victory of the reigning club world champions. VakıfBank dominated the first 2 sets, while the remaining 2 presented leveled play in which the Rzeszów side had a chance to take both of those sets but took only one.
The Swede Isabelle Haak was VakıfBank's best player today, scoring 28 points. Zehra Güneş served 4 aces, while American Michelle Bartsch-Hackley made 4 blocks and 71% reception (17 digs, 65% excellent). On the way to the SuperFinals (or home and away match in the final – it's not yet decided), VakıfBank will face the rival from the domestic Sultanlar Ligi, Fenerbahçe Opet İstanbul (advanced to semis without a fight due to the expulsion of Russia's Lokomotiv Kaliningrad Region).

D-Ribose boosts energy and reduces pain in patients with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and congestive heart failure!
D-Ribose is a naturally occurring simple sugar found in all living cells. It is the fuel that mitochondria use to produce adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP), which provides the body's cellular energy. Studies show that patients with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and congestive heart failure are low in D-Ribose.
Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome affect twice as many women as men and typically first appears at middle age. It still isn't clear what the cause is but studies indicate that people with fibromyalgia have lower levels of ATP and a reduced capacity to make ATP in their muscles.
Recent studies show that ribose supplementation can reduce muscle pain and enhance quality of life for those suffering with fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue.
A 2006 study published by Jacob Teitelbaum, MD in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine showed that D-Ribose significantly reduced clinical symptoms in patients suffering from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Forty-one patients with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia and/or CFS were given D-Ribose, at a dose of five grams a day, three times a day.
How much D-Ribose should you take for fibromyalgia and CFS?
Recommended dose for fibromyalgia and CFS is five grams, three times a day. Look for a brand that is pure D-Ribose, and remember you need to take it for an average of 12 days to start feeling better.
Congestive heart failure (CHF), or heart failure, is a condition in which the heart can't pump enough blood to the body's other organs. Millions of Americans suffer from CHF, and more than 500,000 cases are diagnosed annually.
How much should you take for congestive heart failure?
15-30 grams daily for patients with advanced heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy, or frequent angina, for individuals awaiting heart transplant, and for people with fibromyalgia or neuromuscular disease.

Fuel Effects on Combustion
Vehicle Technologies Office
About the Vehicle Technologies Office
Fuel Effects on Advanced Combustion
Home » Fuel Efficiency & Emissions » Fuel Effects on Advanced Combustion
More than 90 percent of transportation relies on petroleum-based fuels: gasoline and diesel. While alternative fuels and plug-in electric vehicles offer great promise to reduce America's petroleum consumption, petroleum-based fuels are likely to play a substantial role for years to come. However, the sources of these petroleum-based fuels are changing, with more fuels than ever from unconventional sources. Canada, which is the United States' largest foreign supplier of crude oil, is currently getting more than half of its petroleum from oil sands.
Co-Optima National Lab Participants:
Idaho National Lab
Los Alamos National Lab
National Renewable Energy Lab
Oak Ridge National Lab
Pacific Northwest National Lab
Sandia National Lab
In addition, new advanced combustion engines are particularly sensitive to variations in fuel composition. The Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) supports research into fuels to enable more efficient engines and more effective emissions control systems that improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. Much of this research can also provide insight into how biofuels' unique properties can affect these engines and systems.
Currently, VTO is supporting the Co-Optimization of Fuels and Engines Initiative. Over the courese of this multi-year initiative, VTO and the Bioenergy Technologies Office are supporting research and development to concurrently accelerate the introduction of affordable, scalable, and sustainable biofuels along with high-efficiency, low-emission vehicle engines. This coordinated research and development effort brings together nine Department of Energy national laboratories and numerous industry and academic partners to integrate the research areas of biofuels, combustion, and analysis. The Co-Optimization initiative has three concurrent phases of research and development:
Optimizing spark ignition (SI) fuels and engines for near-term effect
Developing fuels and engines to enable advanced compression ignition (CI) technologies needed for revolutionary long-term solutions, and
Developing and applying analysis tools to assess the economic and environmental impact of the proposed technologies.

You've Probably Heard About The Scientist Who Created A Two-Headed Dog
By Felix Behr/July 19, 2020 6:37 pm EST
If you have heard the name Vladimir Demikhov, it's probably for the science fiction-sounding experiments he conducted, in which he transplanted the head of one dog to another, in effect, creating a two-headed dog. According to Russia Beyond, by the time the Associated Press released the news of the Soviet doctor's experiments to the world in 1959, he had already been experimenting with these transplants for five years ... with mixed results.
The most famous of these, at least in the West, is Demikhov's twenty-fourth attempt, which Life covered, appropriately enough, as "Russia's Two-Headed Dog." The article followed an operation in which Demikhov's team attached the head and forelegs of one dog to the neck of another. When the operation was completed "[both] heads could see, hear, smell, and swallow."
Unfortunately, the two dogs — Brodyaga and Shavka — only survived for four days, due to a vein in the neck receiving accidental damage. Most of Demikhov's dogs, in fact, barely made it to six days. The longest surviving canines managed to live for twenty-nine days after the operation, thus proving the concept that such transplants were possible. When explaining the failures of the transplants, Demikhov pointed out that it was always the transplant that gave out first: "[Even in our best case] it was the small head, not the host dog, that sickened first. Had we acted in time, we could have saved the host dog."
The real reason why you should've heard of him
The image of Demikhov adding transplanted dog heads does give the impression of an eccentric pursuing a pointless path. However, Vladimir Demikhov was actually blazing a genuine path of scientific inquiry, not science fiction, which he called "transplantology," or the study of organ transplants.
In an article for The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, Dr. Harris Schumacker lauds Demikhov as being the first person to "transplant an auxillary heart into the thorax of a warm-blooded animal, first to replace the heart with a homograft organ, first to carry out a pulmonary transplantation, and first to perform a complete heart and lung replacement." Even in the case of the two-headed dogs, there was an actual point to them, as Demikhov explained in the Life article: His tests revealed that the failure lies with the transplanted part, so a woman who was bothering him for a leg transplant, for instance, could now receive one with minimal risk: "The main problem will be joining the nerves so the woman can control her movements... But I am sure we can lick that problem too."
While attaching human heads to new bodies still seems out of reach, according to Popular Science, the fact that we can take a beating heart and put it inside another person's body would have struck an early twentieth century scientist as fanciful. Now, it's perfectly possible.

Steven Sotloff, 31, Saw the Big Stories in the Little People
The Jewish-American journalist went to the Middle East armed with a natural curiosity and a desire to delve into the world's most complicated conflicts.

Steven Sotloff, the journalist recently murdered by Islamic State, studied the Middle East at the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya, which is – ironically enough – the academic home of one of the world's top terrorism-research institutes.
With that academic background, a natural curiosity about and a drive to understand the region, and a knowledge of and willingness to accept the risks, he delved deep into some of the world's most dangerous and complicated conflicts, reports say.
Sotloff, who was 31, grew up in Miami, the son of Arthur and Shirley Sotloff. Reports say that he worked at a day school at a local synagogue. He was a fan of football and basketball – the Miami Dolphins and Miami Heat – and he played rugby.
The New York Times reports that he attended a boarding high school in New Hampshire and, from 2002 to 2004, the University of Central Florida. He came to Israel in 2008 to pursue an undergraduate degree at the IDC.
Sotloff reported for a number of publications, including the Christian Science Monitor, Foreign Policy, the Jerusalem Post, the Jerusalem Report, the Media Line, Time and World Affairs Journal. He learned Arabic in Yemen, carried a Yemeni phone number, and reported from there as well as countries including Bahrain, Egypt, Israel, Libya, Syria and Turkey.
Sotloff also served as a visiting fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a policy-research group focused on foreign policy and national security, FrontPage magazine reported.
The Jerusalem Post reported that Sotloff filed his final dispatch from Syria to the Jerusalem Report, shortly before he was taken from Aleppo, Syria, in August 2013.
He wasn't heard from for a year – until last month, when the Islamic State group released a video of its beheading of the journalist James Foley. It ended the message with images of Sotloff also held captive by the group. IS warned that Sotloff would be the group's next victim, depending on how U.S. President Barack Obama responded.
Last week, his mother addressed the head of Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and pleaded with him to spare her son's life, saying he was "an innocent journalist" who did not control what the American government did or might do.
Reports say that he didn't make a point of his Jewishness or Israeli citizenship while he worked. But when he was taken, references to his background were removed from social media to avoid informing his Islamist captors. A report from the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth quotes a former fellow captive of Sotloff as saying that he feigned sickness so he was able to fast on Yom Kippur.
He was also thinking broadly about the region he covered.
Friends said he was critical of how average Israelis fare in their home country.
A former editor at Time magazine who worked with Sotloff is quoted in the Washington Post as saying that Sotloff wrote informed and important pieces about Libya's descent into chaos after Muammar Gadhafi's regime collapsed.
The New York Times picked up a tweet from a writer, Anna Marlowe, who wrote that Sotloff "deeply loved [the] Islamic world." His mother, in her plea to IS, said Sotloff traveled to the Middle East to document the suffering of Muslims.
Ilene Prusher, a blogger for Haaretz who edited Sotloff at the Jerusalem Report, said he was particularly good at man-on-the-street reporting, finding out what average people are thinking.
The Times of Israel quoted Time magazine's managing editor, Nancy Gibbs, as saying that Sotloff "gave his life so readers would have access to information from some of the most dangerous places in the world".
In his tribute to Sotloff, Obama said:
"Like Jim Foley before him, Steve's life stood in sharp contrast to those who murdered him so brutally.
"They make the absurd claim that they kill in the name of religion, but it was Steven, his friends say, who deeply loved the Islamic world. His killers try to claim that they defend the oppressed, but it was Steven who traveled across the Middle East risking his life to tell the story of Muslim men and women demanding justice," he said, according to Politico.com.
Obama made clear that the United States will not back down, saying that "those who make the mistake of harming Americans will learn that we will not forget and that our reach is long and that justice will be served."

Michelangelo's Women-Men's Breasts
So in the first part of this post, I've argued that Michelangelo's women had access to female models, and that his use of male models for female figures wasn't unusual. The other thing that is often mentioned in class is that Michelangelo was gay and thus somehow had an inbuilt distaste, or even inability, to portray women's bodies accurately. Now, without getting too closely into the fluidity of sexual identities in the Renaissance/early modern period (if you're interested, a great starting point is the essays in Judith Brown and Robert Davis, Gender and Society in Renaissance Italy), I don't think it's possible in this period that a person's sexuality can be taken as a straightforward explanation for his or her artistic choices. Moreover, it certainly doesn't explain why this type of image should be popular with a broader audience.
There are two easier explanations:
1) androgynous bodies were thought to be beautiful in the Renaissance,
2) artistic nudes weren't meant to be realistic.
The boundaries between male and female were conceived differently in renaissance culture than they are today. Thomas Laqueur has argued in relation to renaissance anatomical practice that at this time there was "only one canonical body and that body was male". Although people have objected to what Laqueur has called the "one-sex model", it seems to have been a highly influential way of understanding sexual difference in the renaissance. The idea was that the normative human body was male, and that women's bodies were simply imperfect versions of men's. For this reason, in early anatomical books, the bodies used to demonstrate human physiology are always male unless the female reproductive system is specifically being studied
Women, after all, were related to Eve who was created from Adam's rib. Leone Ebreo in his Dialogues of Love (written from the 1490s but first published in 1535) explains that when God created Adam, he was a complete human, containing both male and female parts; Eve was created from his rib whilst he was sleeping, as women represent the imperfect, passive and corporeal aspect of men – who are representative of the intellectual and spiritual tendencies of humans.
Leonardo da Vinci, John the Baptist, 1513-16, Paris, Louvre
No wonder then, that for some in the renaissance, the most beautiful women were those who looked the most like that perfect original form. Like is attracted to like, Marsilio Ficino explained: "Women truly easily capture men, and even more those women who bear a masculine character. And even more easily, men catch men, as they are more like men than are women". Ficino's follower, Mario Equicola, claimed in 1525 that "the effeminate male and the manly female are graceful in almost every aspect". This was shown to comic effect in Benvenuto Cellini's Autobiography, where he tells a story of a dinner party where he brought his young and beautiful model, Diego, dressed up as a woman, and Diego was declared the most beautiful of all the ladies. There are plenty of images of feminine-looking young men in the Renaissance that show the interest in male androgyny too – many of Leonardo da Vinci's male figures look feminine (hence the non-controversy about John the Evangelist "really" being Mary Magdalen that Dan Brown talked about in the Da Vinci code).
There are good reasons, therefore, beyond convenience, why renaissance artists might study a male r model as the basis for their female figures. What we need to do when looking at this type of renaissance nude is to disassociate ourselves from expectations of naturalism and to recalibrate our understanding of what is beautiful.

Robert Plant Hints at New Honeydrippers Project
Dave Lifton Published: January 8, 2019
Erika Goldring, Getty Images
Is Robert Plant working on a sequel to his long-dormant Honeydrippers group? A new tweet from him referenced their lone work, 1984's The Honeydrippers: Volume One EP.
The singer posted a picture of himself and Nile Rodgers in a studio with the caption, "Another reunion … Honeydrippers Vol I 1984, Part 2 ... ." Rodgers, the Chic guitar legend with a vast array of session and production credits, played on the original five-track EP.
Plant first assembled the Honeydrippers in 1981 following the breakup of Led Zeppelin. Working with a bunch of musicians he'd known since childhood, they jammed on '50s jump blues and rockabilly tunes, and performed unadvertised gigs in small clubs far away from the London limelight. That lineup ended when Plant began his solo career in earnest with 1982's Pictures at Eleven.
He revived the Honeydrippers name a couple years later at the behest of Atlantic Records president Ahmet Ertegun, who had seen one of those gigs and wanted a new album featuring the classic tunes. But rather than use the journeymen from the earlier tour, Plant brought in Rodgers, guitarists Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page and keyboardist Paul Shaffer.
"Rockin' at Midnight," a Roy Brown song, was chosen as the first single, but DJs preferred the flip side, a lush cover of Phil Phillips' "Sea of Love." The track reached No. 3, Plant's highest-charting song on the Billboard Hot 100, either solo or with Led Zeppelin.
Promises of a full-length album never materialized, so maybe Plant is finally making good on those decades-old plans. Or it could just be a photo of two people who worked together 35 years ago reconnecting in a studio.
