NOAA-K AVHRR/HIRS Instrument Louvers Not Connected

**Description of Driving Event:**

After launch it was observed that the Advanced Very High Resolution
Radiometer (AVHRR) instrument was running hotter than normal. The design
calls for active louvers to open to radiate heat and bring the
instrument baseplate temperature to within design limits. A review of
the procedures used in building the spacecraft indicates the louvers
were removed after Thermal Vacuum testing and reinstalled as a
\"Non-flight / Temporary mechanical installation\" for fit check
purposes. The connector was not mated at this time. A subsequent
decision was made to leave the louvers in place but no notation of the
lack of electrical connection was made. There was a procedure run prior
to shipment, which is used to verify the mate status of every accessible
connector on the spacecraft. This connector was not on the list. The
NOAA-K satellite was flown with the thermal louver cable disconnected.

**Lesson(s) Learned:**

1.  A critical review of out of flow processes is necessary to insure
    that no steps are deleted or improperly added.

2.  Keep good records of all \"non-flight\" installations. Discrepancy
    reports, red tags and/or a configuration log book should be mandated
    and reviewed at critical milestones.

3.  Double check all accessible connector matings before spacecraft
    shipment.

**FOXX COMMENDS U.S. FORCES FOR DEFEATING AL-ZARQAWI**

WASHINGTON -- United States Rep. Virginia Foxx (N.C.-5) made the
following statement this morning:

"We are making great strides in the War on Terror with every new day.
Just last night, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the mastermind behind countless
brutal acts of terror, was killed in an air strike. Al-Zarqawi was
directly responsible for thousands of bombings, assassinations,
kidnappings and other acts of terror in Iraq and around the globe.
Thanks to the hard work and perseverance of our United States military
and intelligence forces, he will no longer be able to kill again. This
is a major victory in the War on Terror and a major setback to Al Qaeda,
as Zarqawi was one of its strongest leaders.

"This is also a major victory for the U.S. intelligence community.
Today's news is concrete evidence that the Iraqi people are cooperating
with our military. This demonstrates their support of our efforts in the
War on Terror and their desire to be free.

"Yet, as President Bush said, we cannot expect the terrorists to give up
just because one of their most visible leaders is gone. We must continue
to prosecute this War on Terror until our mission is accomplished and
until Iraq can defend and govern itself fully. The terrorists can hide,
but they cannot hide forever."

**Abstract**: The oat enzyme plays an important role in oat food storage
and processing, but it has a bad effect on shortening food storage time
and arising free fatty acid oxidation. Deactivation treatment is
necessary for prolonging shelf life and increasing value. The common
useful method used for deactivation is steaming, but the disadvantage
that has been pointed was not convenience for industrialization and
their blank flavor of final products. To solve the problems that
obstructed naked oats (*Avena nuda*) for food processing in China, this
research focuses on the main factors including enzyme activity
distribution around the kernel, and debran treatment which can enhance
the mouth feel of the oat final products. Three naked oat varieties and
advanced Florence microscopy method are used to analyze the enzyme
distribution in the kernel. The results related to the research of
lipase enzyme distribution showed: lipase activity had significant
positive correlation with kernel length, width, areas, and one thousand
kernel weight, but negative correlation with ratio of kernel weight
divided by the area. The bigger the kernel, the lower the lipase
activity. Lipase was not uniformly distributed around the kernel and
most was located in the outer layer. Lipase activity was negatively
correlated with oat debran ratio and lipid content. With the peeling
time increases for the oat groats, the lipase activity decreases. The
oat rice obtained through 20s debran treatment was higher for kernel
whiteness, but was lower for β­-glucan content, and protein content. 20s
debran treatment with Japan Satake mill was selected as the optimum
technology for oat rice processing, which provided the basic fundament
for naked oat kernel and oat rice enzyme deactivation.

**Key words**: Naked oats (*Avena nuda*); enzyme; lipase activity;
distribution; physical characters

Optimization of an Immobilized Enzymatic Microbioreactor

via Numerical Simulation

[Robert Bailey]{.underline}\*, Frank Jones, Ben Fisher

Department 2502

615 McAllie Ave.

Chattanooga, TN 37403

At the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC), research continues
on the development and optimization of continuous flow enzymatic
microbioreactors. Because of physical phenomena particular to the
reduced scale, these very small devices have the potential for
dramatically increased effectiveness (*e.g*., higher purity of product)
over their larger counterparts. Applications for such microreactors
include the production of beneficial drugs and the cleanup of toxic
waste streams.

Since microreactors are such a new technology, little is known about how
to optimize their design. Experimental testing of various reactor
geometries yields valuable information about which designs are the most
promising. However, testing can be both time-consuming and expensive,
and the myriad of possible configurations (*e.g*., channel lengths,
widths, flow obstruction shape and packing density, *etc*.) demands that
testing be performed efficiently. One way to achieve such efficiency is
to combine an experimental test program with computer simulations. By
developing computer models of flow and reaction within the reactor
channels, investigators can evaluate how changes in geometric and flow
configurations affect reactor performance. Experimental tests are used
to validate the models, and computational results are used to steer
future tests. In this way, the approaches complement each other, and the
design and optimization process is significantly enhanced.

In a previous study, the authors established the feasibility of using
computational modeling to simulate the complex physics that occurs
within enzymatic microreactors. This paper builds upon and extends this
prior work. The commercial code CFD-ACE+, developed by CFD Research
Corporation (CFDRC), is used to perform the simulations. The beneficial
effect of reduced scale is quantified, and optimized reactor
configurations are identified for a hydrogen peroxide/catalase reaction.
Results are compared with experimental data to demonstrate the accuracy
of the numerical model.

Congresista Roy Blunt

> 22 de febrero de 2005

-   **Se entrevistarán con el Presidente Batlle y el**

**Presidente electo, Dr, Tabaré Vázquez**

-   **Analizarán temas comerciales**

CONGRESISTAS NORTEAMERICANOS LLEGAN MAÑANA A URUGUAY

Con la finalidad de discutir temas comerciales como la liberalización
comercial hemisférica, así como otros asuntos relacionados con las
relaciones bilaterales entre Uruguay y Estados Unidos, llegara mañana a
Uruguay una delegación de Congresistas norteamericanos.

La delegación es encabezada por el Coordinador de la Bancada Partidaria
del Partido Republicano, Roy Blunt (Republicano de Missouri) e integrada
además por los Congresistas William Clay (Demócrata de Missouri), Mark
Foley (Republicano de Florida), Steve Pearce (Republicano de Nuevo
Mexico) y Don Sherwood (Republicano de Pennsilvania).

La delegación mantendrá una intensa agenda durante el día jueves, en
compañía del Embajador Martin J. Silverstein, que incluye sendas
entrevistas con el Presidente de la República, Dr. Jorge Batlle y el
Presidente electo, Dr. Tabaré Vázquez, así como una visita al Parlamento
uruguayo.

El Representante Roy Blunt, que encabeza la delegación es el Coordinador
de la Bancada Partidaria y llegó a la Cámara de Representantes de los
Estados Unidos en 1997, con un historial como funcionario público,
presidente y administrador universitario.

Blunt, quien se convirtió en Coordinador de la Bancada Partidaria antes
que cualquier otro Miembro del Congreso en su carrera en las últimas
siete décadas, fue re-elegido para un segundo mandato como Coordinador
de la Bancada Partidaria en noviembre de 2004. En dicho cargo, el tercer
puesto de mayor jerarquía en la Cámara de Representantes, el
Representante Blunt tiene la función de reunir los votos necesarios para
completar la agenda Republicana. Escoge y dirige un equipo de Encargados
Alternos y Asistentes de Disciplina Partidaria, que el columnista Robert
Novak ha descrito como "la operación de disciplina partidaria más
eficiente en la historia del Congreso".

Tras haber integrado el comité de exploración del entonces Gobernador
George W. Bush, originalmente compuesto por diez personas, y como enlace
entre la Cámara de Representantes y la campaña de Bush, Blunt tiene
estrechos lazos con el Gobierno de Bush. Cuando Blunt fue nombrado
Republicano del Año en Missouri en 2000, el Presidente Bush lo describió
como "un líder que sabe como elevar sus aspiraciones y bajar su voz".

Blunt integra el Comité de Energía y Comercio de la Cámara. Como el
grupo con la más amplia jurisdicción, el Comité de Energía y Comercio
tiene como cometido principal la promoción del comercio y de los
intereses de la salud pública y del mercado. Blunt es además miembro del
Comité de Relaciones Internacionales y de Servicios Financieros, aunque
actualmente se encuentra con licencia. Ha integrado el Comité de
Selección Permanente de Inteligencia de la Cámara, que tiene por
cometido supervisar los recursos de inteligencia y las actividades de
inteligencia.

NEW DESIGNS FOR THE GOLD COINAGE.

In response to a popular demand for an improvement in the designs used
on our coin, the President took steps early in the year 1905 to
accomplish this result. It was decided to make the first change on the
gold coins, and the eminent sculptor, Mr. Augustus Saint Gaudens, was
employed at the request of the President to prepare models for all
denominations of the gold coins, and with the purpose in view of
securing a much higher relief in design than was ordinarily used in
modern coinage several models were made of the same design but with
different heights of relief. But it was found to be impossible to work
any of the designs upon the ordinary coining press until a third model
was made with a greatly reduced relief. This was somewhat disappointing
to those urging a high relief, and therefore some 12,153 pieces of
double eagles from the second model were struck on a medal press and
sent to such places in the United States were a general distribution of
them could be made. Of the new Saint Gaudens double eagle perfected for
coinage in the regular way, \$105,939,360 were struck by the close of
the fiscal year.

The new designs for the eagle were also prepared by Mr. Saint Gaudens,
and are regarded by competent critics as artistic. The standing eagle is
true to nature, while the feathered head of Liberty is a radical
departure from the head heretofore appearing on any of our coins of
either gold or silver.

There were coined in eagles during the fiscal year \$4,829,060 in the
new design.

**FELLOWS GUIDANCE DOCUMENT: VIRTUAL AND PHYSICAL EXHIBITS**

**October 2005**

Fellows and other staff members in the Office of NIH History may develop
virtual or physical exhibits in the performance of their duties. For
such projects, the NIH Stetten Museum is the office of record. This
designation has been made so that documents, photographs, and objects
generated by the creation of such projects leave a record after the
Fellow or staff member leaves. The Office of NIH History continues to
refer to such files, sometimes for several years after a project.

Most of these projects generate emails, memoranda, notes, and official
forms which document the project. They may also involve photography and
the collection of objects from donors. The following types of paper and
digital records should be turned over to the NIH Stetten Museum in a
timely manner:

1.  Budget -- including estimates, can numbers, purchase orders, etc.

2.  Design -- this may include drawings, lay-outs, mock ups, and copies
    of web pages

3.  Fabrication

4.  Exhibit/web page scripts -- the final copy and any important drafts

5.  Research notes -- this may be copies of the staff member's notes,
    etc. (it is understood that the staff member may want to keep
    originals)

6.  Photographs, videos, and other audiovisual items -- these need to be
    catalogued and added to the Office of NIH History database quickly
    because projects usually generate interest and requests for copies)

7.  Scientific instruments or non-scientific objects -- these will most
    likely be accessioned into the NIH Stetten Museum's collection--they
    are not the property of the staff member and their provenance should
    be documented before giving them to the Museum

These records should be given to the curator of the NIH Stetten Museum.
To ensure that records are not broken up, the curator will handle the
disposition of photographs and audiovisual material to be catalogued
with the archivist.

**700 MHz GUARD BAND AUCTION RAISES \$519,892,575.00**

Washington, D.C. - The Federal Communications Commission\'s 700 MHz
Guard Band auction ended today, raising a total in net bids of
\$519,892,575.00. Winners in this auction represent a new type of FCC
licensee \-\-- "Guard Band Managers." Guard Band Managers will be
engaged in the business of subdividing the spectrum they have won and
leasing it for value to third parties for both commercial and private
wireless uses.

"Guard Band Managers are an innovative and efficient approach to
spectrum management, " said FCC Chairman William E. Kennard. "These
companies have an exciting opportunity ahead of them to promote the
development of secondary markets of spectrum usage. Winning companies
will be able to rely on the ebb and flow of the marketplace to lease
this spectrum to third parties for their unique business needs."

The auction, which began on September 6, ended after 66 rounds of
bidding. Of the 9 winning bidders 5 claimed small business status. A
total of 104 licenses were offered in 52 Major Economic Areas. In each
economic area a 4 MHz and 2 MHz license was auctioned. 96 licenses were
sold in the auction. The 8 unsold licenses will be part of a future
auction.

"Our approach to licensing this spectrum serves two important purposes,"
said Thomas Sugrue, Chief of the FCC's Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau. "First, spectrum will be made available to commercial and
private users under innovative leasing arrangements. Second, these
spectrum users will operate in a manner that protects adjacent public
safety spectrum users from interference."

License winners must make down payments on licenses 10 business days
after the release of the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau\'s Public
Notice announcing the close of the auction. Winning bidders must also
file their long form applications with the FCC within the same period.

  **Head Organizer: David Wink**

  **Summary Prepared By: Terry Moody**

  Dr. Stefan Ambs presented research on the epidemiology of prostate
  cancer. Each year there are 219,000 cases of prostate cancer and 27,000
  deaths. Risk factors include race/ethnicity, family history, smoking
  status and chromosome 8q24 variants. Nuclear oncogenes such as c-myc
  may be overexpressed in the chromosome 8q24 variants. African American
  men have a 2.4 increased risk of death from prostate cancer than do
  European Americans. By gene array analysis, African American men had
  increased expression of inflammation associated genes such as CXCR4,
  MMP9 and AMFR relative to European American men. Cytokines such as
  interferon gamma are also overexpressed. The mechanism by which
  nicotine alters gene expression is being investigated.

# Executive Summary

The Crop Protection General Directorate (DGPC) of the Ministry of
Agriculture and the corn growers association (ANPROMIS) have jointly
drafted an Order in Council (Portaria) and a document on technical
cultivation standards for GM-crops. Members of the Technical Council of
the DGPC, the Ministry's food quality and inspection services, producer
organizations and the seed industry, have until November 24, 2004 to
comment. DGPC plans to complete its review by the end of November 2004,
and publish the National Order in the Official Journal by December 2004.
DGPC also plans to hold a press conference to announce the co-existence
regulation in January 2005.

The proposed coexistence legislation would minimize/preclude
adventitious corn contamination through pollen or mechanical means from
seed storage to first-buyer crop delivery. Examples in the proposed
legislation include: 1) Establishing a 50-meter minimum between GM corn
and conventional varieties and a 200-meter minimum between GM and
organically grown corn; 2) Requiring that 12 conventional-variety rows
be planted (around the GM corn) and harvested with and as GM corn, and
25 rows where organically-grown conventional varieties are produced; (3)
Requiring staggered planting, or the planting of dissimilar pollination
cycle varieties in lieu of to the previously mentioned buffering
measures; and, (4) Setting strict planting, harvesting, drying, storage,
and delivery procedures to preclude commingling.

We are hearing that some in Government have already decided to propose
even stiffer requirements, including, among other ideas, an increase in
the standard buffer zones from 50-to-200 meters, where GM and
traditional varieties are co-located. An increase of this type would
surely preclude GM plantings in Portugal.
