The design and scale-up of an effective pretreatment process has been
tested in a commercial fuel ethanol plant using commercial scale
equipment. This pretreatment process requires multiple steps and unit
operations. First the substrate feed enters a mixing tank where the
solids (corn fiber at 60% moisture) and liquid (stillage) are combined.
The resulting slurry is heated through a combination of stem injection
and heat exchange. The heat exchanger transfers heat from the
fiber/stover stream leaving the pretreatment reactor to the fiber/stover
entering the pretreatment reactor, and the second injection served to
attain the final operating temperature 160°C. The hot fiber/stover
stream entered a plug-flow reactor (snake coil) and was held for less
than a half hour. This was sufficient to dissolve about 60% of the dry
weight of the corn fiber. The resulting oligosaccharides gave both
hexoses and pentoses upon enzyme hydrolysis. Subsequent fermentation
trials showed that the hydrolysate was fermentable without any obvious
inhibition. This paper reports physical and compositional changes of the
fiber as a consequence of the pretreatment, as well as material and
energy balances for the process. A model that relates pretreatment
conditions to changes in the fiber structure, composition, and
hydrolysis upon subsequent addition of enzyme is described. A first
estimate of the economics for the process will also be discussed.

The Honorable John T. Conway

Chairman

Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board

625 Indiana Avenue, N.W., Suite 700

Washington, D.C. 20004

Dear Mr. Chairman:

The purpose of this letter is to report on the status of commitment
4.4.1 in the Implementation

Plan for Defense Nuclear Facility Safety Board (DNFSB) Recommendation
2002-2, U.S.

Department of Energy Plan to Address and Resolve Weapons Laboratory
Support of Defense

Nuclear Complex.

Commitment 4.4.1 was completed by the issuance of National Nuclear
Security Administration

(NNSA) Contracting Officer Representative (COR) letters to NNSA sites
with designees who oversee work of the Laboratory. The letters outline
COR responsibilities and authorities in relation to business conducted
at the Laboratory. Authorities include, but are not exclusive to,
providing program direction, initiating timely work authorizations, and
performing oversight activities for Directed Stockpile Work (DSW)
maintenance, and research and development

(R&D); weapon R&D associated with safety; SS-21; Laboratory weapons
response; the Integrated Weapons Activity Plan; pit manufacturing and
certification, science, and engineering campaigns; and Readiness in
Technical Base Facilities program readiness. Contracting Officers will
ensure Laboratory support requirements related to safety of operations
of the defense nuclear weapons complex are tracked and met within the
current resources of the contract. The NNSA COR nominating letters for
DSW and the national laboratory site office COR appointment letters are
enclosed per Commitment 4.4.1 of DNFSB Recommendation 2002-2.

If you have any further questions, please call me at (202) 586-1730.

Sincerely,

***M. Schoenbauer, Director***

Guidelines for Poster Presentations

***Authors are advised to adhere to the following guidelines.***

1.  Poster boards will be 3' (1 m) x 4' (1.2 m). **Please note that the
    3-foot width may be less than you are used to from other symposia or
    conferences.** The poster boards will be double-sided, push pin and
    velcro compatible. It is recommended that each poster presenter
    bring enough pushpins and/or velcro to use to mount their poster.

2.  The title of your presentation and the author(s) name(s) and
    affiliation(s) should be in letters not less than 1 inch (2.54 cm)
    high and preferably 2 inches (5 cm) high.

3.  The written text and all illustrations should be prepared
    beforehand. Charts, drawings, pictures, and graphs can be assembled
    on a poster board of the appropriate size or assembled in sections
    or pieces on the panel. A limited number of pushpins will be
    available for mounting your display. It is easier to mount a few
    large boards, rather than many small ones.

4.  Limit your exhibit to the essential data and choose what to include
    that will stimulate discussion. All data should carry the message
    without requiring any additional comment. Most viewers will scan the
    display for its prominent features, and when something catches their
    attention, they will linger for closer study and possible discussion
    of details with the author.

5.  The written text should be sufficiently large to allow easy reading
    from a distance of approximately 5 feet. Matte finish on micrographs
    provides better visibility because it reduces glare from lights.

6.  Please assemble your poster on Sunday, May 4 from 10:00 AM to 8:00
    PM in the Breckenridge Ballroom. Please check with the conference
    registration desk upon arrival for more information on final layout.

7.  You may begin removing your posters on Wednesday morning, May
    7, 2003. All posters must be removed by 12:00 noon on Wednesday or
    they will be discarded.

8.  Security is not guaranteed. If you have items of great value, you
    may want to put them in your own room at night. Neither NREL and its
    personnel nor Beaver Run Resort and Conference Center and its
    personnel are responsible for lost or broken items.

***Please direct any questions regarding the Poster Presentations to***

| | Creating a \"standard serving\" would confuse consumers more     |  |

| | product label or in advertising. Displaying alcohol content in   |  |

Liaison on User Requirements for EDI

WG8 thanks WG1 for the opportunity to comment on their document N715
(WG8 N743) on User Requirements for EDI.

Because many of the user requirements for EDI concern MOTIS and the
general handling of messages, many of the requirements are outside the
concerns of WG8. WG8 would like to clarify, however, a few points about
the relationship of such mechanisms as EDI to WG8 work. In general EDI
will not influence the technical content of WG8 standards because these
standards deal with mechanisms for identifying and processing document
internals. However, WG8 would like assurance that the systems used to
transmit EDI documents can carry documents that include data structured
using SGML, DSSSL, and SPDL. We do not believe that this is a very
difficult request because the transmission requirements are similar to
those for ODA: the document content is either simple octet strings or
octet strings in ASN.1 wrappers. In short, we concur with Sect. 9.2, if
DSSSL and SPDL are added to SGML and ODA.

We are in general in agreement with most of the User Requirements
identified in Part 5 of the WG1 document. We would, however, note that
for some of the applications of EDI in which we expect some of our
documents to be transmitted, security requirements (Sect. 5.6) vary from
one part of a document to another. That is, we know that some invoicing
and ordering applications may include messages that are classified in
some parts and unclassified in others.

Section 7, ¬User Requirements for SGML║ requires a bit of comment. We do
not expect EDI to cause any changes in the SGML language. The task of
SGML is simply to provide structure for documents transmitted in EDI
applications. The requirements for the documents themselves are
essentially the same as those listed in Sect. 6, on ODA applications.
SGML, for example, can represent both the logical and layout structures
of an invoice, and, with the help of DSSSL and SPDL, can present the
formatted document.

There will be, however, some requirements for EDI systems to have SGML
processing capabilities, outside the transmission mechanisms like MOTIS.
That is, we know that in many applications, such as logistic-support and
acquisition information (e.g., parts catalog and inventory data) is
stored in SGML data bases, and there must be interfaces between these
data bases and the systems that process the purchase requisitions and
invoices typical of EDI applications.

One WG8 project may place special requirements on EDI systemsðthat is
DIS 9541, on font and glyph interchange. We envision that potential
transactions will include not only the requisitioning and invoicing
processes typical of other EDI applications but the delivery of the
merchandiseðdigital fontsðitself. What the special requirements may be
we cannot predict in detail until the actual interchange formats are
more fully developed.

PROMOTING COLLABORATIVE LEARNING USING A SHARED DRAWING SURFACE ON
TABLET PCS, Joel Dart^1^[, Zachary Koch^1^, Shawn

Research has shown that collaborative problem solving can be an
effective pedagogical tool. However, students may have trouble sharing a
paper drawing surface while solving problems collaboratively because of
space constraints. In this presentation, we demonstrate one way to
address this concern by using software that allows students with Tablet
PCs to share a virtual drawing surface without need for as close
proximity as with paper and pencil. Specifically, we describe a research
project that consisted of designing, implementing, and evaluating a
Tablet PC based software system to provide such a virtual drawing
surface.

In order to achieve our goals, we added functionality to a pre-existing
software package called DyKnow Vision (hereafter referred to as DyKnow,
[www.dyknow.com](http://www.dyknow.com/)). DyKnow is a multi-page
note-taking and note-annotation system that began as a research project
at DePauw University and developed into a commercial product. Our
additions to the software allow a teacher to put students into groups,
save or load previously saved groupings, and limit student access of
notebook pages. The software also allows the teacher to collaborate with
individual student groups at will. Once grouped, students share a
virtual drawing surface which allows them to see and edit one another's
work. To encourage communication and interaction between students, we
also implemented two different types of "pointers". These pointers allow
any user to call his or her group members' attention to a specific
portion of the screen. Group chat capabilities were also added to the
software.

In the presentation, we will show the progression of the interface
design and development and will discuss the user requirements that were
addressed by the design decisions we made. Next, we will discuss a
controlled study that compared the use of a pair of Tablet PCs with the
use of a single overhead transparency. In this study, we sought to
compare the effectiveness of each respective medium at promoting
learning. Results of our follow-up surveys indicated higher satisfaction
with the shared drawing surface in the Tablet PC condition as compared
to the overhead transparency condition. These results were statistically
significant. Finally, we will present our plans for future work,
including an ecologically valid evaluation of our solution in a
classroom environment.

On 18 January 1943 Remington directed to divert from production 20,000
M1903A3 rifles for conversion to the U.S. Rifle M1903A4 (Sniper\'s).
Rifles #3407088‑3427087 (from the first \"block\" of numbers) were
diverted, and the first \"03‑A3\" converted was delivered in February
1943.

On 20 June 1943 an additional 8,365 M1909A4 rifles were ordered.
\"Block\" for these rifles and possible future orders were
4922001‑5784000. After this block had been used to 4997045, receiver
marking was changed to \"03‑A4\" and a new series of numbers begun with
Z4000000.

The second \"block\" of \"03‑A3\" numbers was used only to about 4168800
before cancellation of contract ended \"03‑A3\" production 28 February
1944.

In March 1944, with receiver Z4002290, production of the M1903A4 was
ended. Total production was 1,056,276 rifles, which included about
345,000 M1903 and M1903 (modified), about 711,276 M1903A3, and just
26,653 M1903A4 (short of the 28,365 ordered)

Department of the Interior Acquisition Policy Release (DIAPR) 2002-5

Subject: **FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION (FAR) DEVIATION - PERFORMANCE
EVALUATION FORMS**

1\. **[Purpose.]{.underline}** This DIAPR authorizes a class deviation
from Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 36 form prescriptions for
those using the National Institutes of Health Contractor Performance
System (CPS).

2\. **[Effective Date.]{.underline}** Upon signature.

3\. **[Expiration Date.]{.underline}** Upon issuance of a pertinent FAR
change.

4\. **[Background and Explanation.]{.underline}**

FAR 36.201(a)(1) and 36.701(e) prescribe the use of Standard From (SF)
1420, Performance Evaluation (Construction) for each construction
contract valued at \$500,000 or more, and each defaulted construction
contract valued above \$10,000. FAR 36.604(a) and 36.702(c) require the
use of SF 1421, Performance Evaluation (Architect-Engineer) for each
Architect-Engineer contract valued above \$25,000.

CPS provides a Contractor Performance Insert Form for both construction
and architect-engineer contacts. These CPS forms contain all the data
elements required by the standard forms. Therefore, they may be
substituted for the prescribed forms when CPS is utilized. A proposal is
pending to revise the FAR to allow CPS users to do this without
documenting a deviation. In the meantime, this DIAPR constitutes
authority to use the CPS forms instead of SFs 1420 and 1421.

5\. **[Action Required.]{.underline}**

When entering data into the CPS, substitute the CPS Performance Insert
Forms for the SF1420 and 1421.

Please disseminate within your bureau where appropriate. Please contact
Ms. Dee Emmerich of this office on (202) 208-3348 if you have any
questions regarding this policy issuance.

# CATARACT

**[What is a cataract?]{.underline}**

A cataract is a clouding of the lens inside the eye. Looking through a
cloudy lens is like looking through a dirty window. Glasses **cannot**
fix bad vision caused by a cataract.

People with cataracts often say their vision is foggy. It is like
looking through a stain on their glasses. They say it is hard to see at
night. Eyes become more sensitive to headlights in the dark.

**[How do you get a cataract?]{.underline}**

Cataract is a normal change that takes place as we get older. People who
have been exposed to a lot of sunlight during their lives have worse
cataracts. Cataracts are more common in people who have diabetes or take
steroid medicines. An injury to the eye can also cause cataracts to
form.

**[How do you know if you have cataracts?]{.underline}**

Getting an eye exam can let you know if you have cataracts. Sometimes
cataracts can be seen in the eye. It looks like a gray or white cloud.
An eye doctor using special equipment can see cataracts. A cataract is
**not** **in front** of the eye. The cataract **is** behind the colored
part of the eye, inside the eyeball.

**[What can be done about cataracts?]{.underline}**

The only treatment for cataracts is surgery. Surgery is done on people
who have bad vision. Bad vision is when you are not able to do your
normal daily activities. If your vision interferes with your daily
activities, you need to see the eye doctor.

**[My doctor says that I have cataracts. Do I have to have
surgery?]{.underline}**

The decision to have surgery is up to you. It is usually not worth going
through surgery if you have mild cataracts. Surgery is advised if your
cataracts are bad. The time you spend deciding to have surgery usually
does not affect the result of the surgery. If you ever decide to have
the surgery it will work. Sometimes patients with other eye problems
will need cataract surgery first. Then the doctor can take care of the
other eye problem. In these cases your doctor will let you know what is
best for you.

**[How does cataract surgery work?]{.underline}**

At Tuba City Indian Medical Center, cataract surgery is a day surgery.
This means that you do not stay in the hospital. After surgery the eye
is sore for several days. The pain is not bad. Often vision is better
the first day after surgery. But it takes weeks of healing and a new
pair of glasses to get the best possible vision.

**[Will cataracts come back after surgery?]{.underline}**

No, a cataract cannot come back. Some people will have a thin piece of
tissue called "after cataract" form in their eye. This may happen a few
months after the surgery. This growth can make your vision cloudy again.
This growth is easy to treat with a laser treatment. It takes just a few
minutes in the clinic and it will never grow back again.

**THE BRATTLEBORO AREA ADULT DAY CARE SERVICE PURCHASES NEW DINING ROOM
CHAIRS WITH \$897 USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT GRANT**

Brattleboro, VT: The Brattleboro Area Adult Day Care Services will use
an \$897 USDA Rural Development Community Facility grant to purchase 40,
specially designed for the elderly, dining room chairs for The Gathering
Place, an adult daycare for individuals who are frail, isolated,
disabled or suffering from a disabling disease,. The chairs offer
support for the spine, safe transfers and are completely washable. The
Brattleboro Area Adult Day Care Services serves individuals from the
towns in Windham County in Vermont and Southwest New Hampshire, is open
from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and has been providing services to the elderly
population for fourteen years, offering meals, health care screening,
socialization and transportation.

The Brattleboro Area Adult Day Care Services purchased the old Victorian
building, now known as The Gathering Place, on Terrace Street with a
\$58,650 grant and a \$257,300 loan from USDA Rural Development in 2001.
In January, 2002, staff from RD spent a day at the center, painting
rooms, helping to get the center ready for its clients.

"We have recognized from the beginning the exceptional and very
necessary services offered at The Gathering Place," said Jolinda H.
LaClair, State Director of USDA Rural Development in Vermont. "I am
pleased that we are able to continue to help this organization care for
our elderly rural residents."

"When the Gathering Place needed funding to purchase and renovate its
building, USDA Rural Development was there to help," said Lynn Bedell,
Executive Director of the Gathering Place. "Each year it becomes more
challenging to provide the services our participants need to live active
and productive lives. We are thankful to Rural Development for their
help -- it truly makes a difference in people's lives."

USDA Rural Development Community Facility loans and grants are available
to communities and non-profits to finance essential community facilities
in rural areas. For more information about these and other USDA Rural
Development loan and grant programs, please call Jon Muise at (802)
257-7878 or visit the website at <http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/vt>.
