## First Test of the D-60 System’s Atmospheric Pressure Deposition of CdS

- Sample shown was from a group of three (3) sheets sequentially loaded with a ~1cm gap between the 60 cm x 120 cm sheets demonstrating continuous loading capability
- Note, the D-60 system will process substrates up to 75 cm wide
- Subsequent deposition trials are underway refining the range of required deposition process parameters for both CdS and CdTe

## CdS Film on TEC-15 glass processed with the D-60 Atmospheric Pressure System 

- Thickness measurements by Dektak profilometer(*), optical absorption (*), and CdS film removal mass difference all place the thickness of the first large area CdS film samples in the 1300 angstrom range
-           (*) Courtesy of the University of Toledo Physics Department
- PV performance (AM1.5) of the dot cells showed 9.5 - 10% efficiency with the best from the 60 cm wide CdS to be 10.4%
- 10 cm x 10 cm samples were cut from a 60 cm x 120 cm sheet of the D-60 first CdS deposition trials
- CdTe was deposited in the lab 10 cm wide atmospheric pressure coating system
- PV performance for dot cells with both CdS and CdTe coated in the 10 cm x 10 cm lab atmospheric pressure coater are very similar, typically 9.5 - 10% efficiency, with 10.8% as the highest

## Project Status and Plans

- Approximately 24 months into the development,
- Demonstrated and _routinely_ deposit thin-film CdS and CdTe onto moving 10 cm x 10 cm TEC-15 at atmospheric pressure
-  Process these into PV dot cells that have ~10% efficiency
- Demonstrated atmospheric pressure deposition of CdS onto 60 cm x 120 cm moving TEC-15 substrates
- 10 cm x 10 cm samples of this material have had CdTe applied at atmospheric pressure using the lab coater, and
- These have been processed into ~10% efficient PV dot cells
- Development plans moving forward
- Subsequent deposition trials are underway using the D-60 System, refining the range of required deposition process parameters for both CdS and CdTe
- Entering the design phase for an atmospheric pressure coating system for larger scale continuous CdS and CdTe coating of glass substrates
- Developing a business plan for marketing and licensing the atmospheric pressure thin-film CdS / CdTe deposition technology

## Commercial Energy Code Vertical Glazing Requirements 

- David Weitz
- Executive Director
- Building Code Assistance Project

**2005 National Workshop on State Building Energy Codes  -  June 28, 2005**

## What we'll briefly cover

- ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1-2004
- 2006 IECC (pending but likely)
- Rx tables comparison

**Notes:**
DW also serves on the 90.1 and IECC committees, so is partly responsible for this mess

## Similarities and Differences

- Climate zones (nearly) identical
- U-factor and SHGC very close
- 90.1 covers 81⁄2 pages, IECC covers 1⁄2 page

| 90.1-2004 | 2006 IECC |
| --- | --- |
| 50% WWR limit (5 bins) | 40% WWR limit (no bins) |
| differentiates U-factor by fixed vs operable (+ exceptions) | differentiates U-factor by metal vs non-metal frame |
| differentiates SHGC by E/S/W vs N (latitudes >10°) + multipliers for PF | differentiates SHGC by projection factor |
| differentiates non-res, res, and semi-heated spaces | no corresponding distinctions |
| trade-offs allowed by envelope performance | trade-offs by "deemed to comply" COMcheck |

**Notes:**
climate zones 3C in 90.1
separate PF multipliers for N oriented vs all other orientations
U-factor exceptions for street-side first story glazing with 0.5 PF, and limited to wwr 75%

## 90.1 vs IECC

- relative stringency depends on
- climate zone
- glazing % (WWR)
- but generally
- SHGC nearly equal
- IECC has more stringent U-factor
- precision vs simplicity

## Summary

- Significant correlation between AOT and tropospheric NO2 is observed in both industrial and biomass burning regions.
- The slope between tropospheric NO2 and AOT is larger for East Europe as compared to West Europe, which may be explained by the difference of NOx and SO2 emissions;
- There is a large range in the slope of AOT versus NO2, which can be used to get indirect information on the aerosol composition.

## What is next?

- Include SO2 and Formaldehyde in the analysis;
- Compare the data with chemical transport model results;
- Provide detailed analysis for regional differences;
- Use additional aerosol parameters, like the fine mode fraction.

## Uses and Abuses of Screening Tests

- Screening tests are ubiquitous in practice
- Principles of screening are widely misunderstood
*Goal of screening is to test apparently well people to find those at increased risk of a disease or disorder*
- Inappropriate screening is harmful
- Injurious to one’s health
-  Stigmatizing
- Costly

## Differences between Clinical and Screening Tests

- Clinical Tests
- Patient Initiated
- Patient with a complaint
- Risk and cost acceptable to the patient

- Screening Tests
- Provider Initiated
- Healthy patient
- Patient not seeking help
- If patient initiated, then can be costly and of no clinical value

## When Earlier Diagnosis is Worth the Cost

- If improves survival or quality of life
- If the clinician has the time to manage the Dx before Sx develop
- If the patient with an earlier Dx will comply with intervention
- If the screening program effectiveness has been established
- If the test cost, accuracy and acceptibility are acceptable to the patient and society
- (Sackett, Clinical Epidemiology: a basic science for clinical medicine)

## Questions Clinicians Should Ask Themselves Before Screening a Patient

- What are the potential harms of screening?
- What right do clinicians have to rob people of their perceived health, and for what gain?
- If a test is available, should it be used?
- Is the test valid?
- Where should the cut-off for abnormal be?
- Can test results be trusted?
- Should a follow-up test be done?
- Does the screening test really improve health?
- (Grimes, Lancet 2002)

## Criteria Needed for a Screening Program

- Disease
- medically important and clearly defined
- prevalence known
- effective intervention exists
- Policy
- cost-effective
- facilities for Dx and Rx available
- course of action is generally agreed upon and acceptable
- Tests
- safe, valid, and reliable
- reasonable cut-off level defined
- (Cuckle, Principles of screening. In: Antenatal and neonatal screening)

## Module 5

**Motivational Interviewing ****as a Counseling Style**

## Assumptions of Motivational Interviewing

- Ambivalence is normal **and** an obstacle.
- Ambivalence can be resolved.
- Collaborative partnership—each has expertise.
- An empathic, supportive, yet directive, counseling style facilitates change.
- Direct argument/aggressive confrontation may **increase** defensiveness, **reduce** likelihood of change.

## Express Empathy 

- The key component of expressing empathy is reflective listening.
- Imposing direction and judgment rather than listening reflectively creates barriers that impair the therapeutic relationship.

## Develop Discrepancy

- Clinicians help clients recognize discrepancies by using carefully chosen, strategic reflecting.
- Clients’ cultural background affects their perceptions of discrepancy.
- Clinicians must have a good understanding of the clients’ cultural values.

## Avoid Argument

- Power struggles between clinician and client do not enhance motivation for change.
- When it is the client, not the clinician, who voices arguments for change, progress can be made.

## Support Self-Efficacy

- Communicate belief in the client’s capacity
- Talk about how others in similar situations have changed
- Provide opportunities for other clients to act as role models
- Provide credible, understandable, accurate information
- Provide information about tools for recovery in a way that instills hope in the client
- Break the change process down into achievable small steps

## Roll With Resistance

- Resistance is a signal that the clinician needs to change direction with or listen more carefully to the client.

## Improved reconstruction of total solar irradiance using  broad- band facular contrast measurements from the Solar Bolometric Imager (SBI)

- The SBI *images* the solar photosphere with *non- selective spectral response* over the range 0.2 – 2.6 micron i.e. 94% of the total solar irradiance (TSI).
- The first broad-band measurements of facular contrast were obtained during the first SBI flight on Sept 1 2003 ( Foukal et al., Ap.J. Letts, 611,57,2004).
- SBI is scheduled for re-flight from Antarctica in late 2006.

## SBI facular contrast (left panel) used to reconstruct TSI with no free parameters (right panel) for the first time (Foukal et al.,Ap.J.,submitted,Dec 2005). Note agreement in TSI variation amplitude between reconstruction and VIRGO radiometry, to better than +/-10% rms. This agreement indicates little contribution to TSI variation from Teff variations outside spots and faculae (e.g. “magnetic stirring”). It also supports the thermal impedance model of TSI variation over other mechanisms such as magnetic storage or downdrafts.

## STAR Status Report

-   Trigger commissioning work from about 12:30 am until about 8:20 am
-      this morning
-    Worked on studying coincidences, of various Trigger Counters. For most
-      of the night progress hindered because TACs for the ZDCs were not working,
-      so could not measure the relative timing of ZDC hits, adjust, and put cuts
-      on it to select collisions.
-    Performed a number of timing scans, adjusted various thresholds, and
-      maximized a trigger conditions rate. Looking at the ADC spectra for
-      the ZDCs however gave slightly ambiguous results.
-    Early in the morning expert for BBC came in Les turned on the BBC, and
-      looked at the BBC hits and TACs. Saw convincing evidence that we were
-      triggering on collisions, although with unknown absolute timing.
-    Took a time scan for the BBC which, once we establish and correctly adjust
-      the ZDC timing, should allow us to understand the necessary timing
-      adjustments necessary so that we can trigger on both/either the BBC and
-      the ZDC.

##     With the 8:30 access the STAR magnet barriers were quickly installed. 	

-      People went in to power up the EEMC electronics, and to work on the ZDC TACS.
-      Believe the problem is fixed and will check it out tonight when we hope to
-      do further trigger commissioning. Able to diagnose, and we believe
-      fix, the ZDC TAC problem, so hopefully things will go much better tonight
-      with the Trigger commissioning.
-    Called out the CAS Watch to unlock the Magnet Power Supplies they
-      recalled that, with the new Soft Start gear installed by C-AD, that they
-      need to change their procedure for preparing the magnet to come on.
-     They are currently working on this, and the hope is to get the magnet on
-      shortly after lunch. Magnet is being watched during the
-      day; need to know if coverage is needed for the swing shift.
-    Hope is for C-AD to check the effect of the STAR magnet on the beam,
-      that it will be negligible, and that we can then can turn it on and off at our
-      convenience. It would start 24 hour operation next week.
-     Alternative would be 24 hour coverage which we can do, but might not
-       be the best use of resources.

## Some words about emittance exchange through coupling resonance

- Nicolas Pichoff, Jean-Michel Lagniel, Subrata Nath

## What is the problem ?

**No phase advance crossing**

**Phase advance crossing**

- Same transverse and longitudinal phase-advances :
-  Emittance exchange (ASH project, 1998)
-  Halo formation ?

## Questions ?

**What is the associated physics ?**
-  Coming from intra-beam scattering ? (No)
-  Induced by space-charge routines ? (No)
-  Collective effect ?
-  Coupling between longitudinal and transverse particle motion ?

**Is it really dangerous ?**
- - Is it a potential beam losses source ?

**How to avoid or minimise it ?**
-  Find a good working point ?
-  Equipartition ?

## Is it really dangerous ?

- - Because of space-charge, the matching depends on the beam emittance :
-  If there is emittance exchange, what happens to the matching ?

-  Through the coupling resonance, particles with large energy in one direction can get large energy in the other direction :
-  Halo transfer

-  Do the coupling resonances amplify the effect of mismatch on emittance growth and halo formation ?

## What is the associated physics ?

- Particles oscillate in both directions with a phase advance per meter *k**r* in transverse direction and *k**z* in longitudinal direction.

## Perturbation theory

- In the non linear force, when the coupling term is neglected, each particle oscillates with periods Lx and Ly in both directions.
- The particle « phase advance per unit length » :
- 	kx = 2/Lx and ky = 2/Ly
- depend on the particle amplitude.

- The coupling term can be considered as a perturbation, and one can easily show that :
- The term : **k****i,j****·x****i****·y****j** excites the resonance : **i****·k****x**** - j·k****y**** = n**.

## hamiltonian polynomial expansion

**h****amiltonian polynomial exp****a****nsion**

## Continuous or periodic focusing channel ?

## Study of 4th order coupling resonance

- We have studied the _dynamics of one particle_ driven by :

- We have observed that :

-  2·x = 2·y resonance is excited,
-  a exchange of particle oscillation amplitude (energy) occurs,
-  for k22>0, particle with slightly higher frequency gains energy.
-  the resonance band-pass is a few percents.

## Energy phase-space observation

## How to avoid or minimise it ?

-  Find a working point with 1 not in [0=t0/l0; ce].
-  Some « mismatch instabilities » have been observed for 0 <1 ??? (explained by Ji Qiang & al. PAC2001 ?),
-  For more security take 1 not in [t/l0; t0/l].

-  Be equipartionned is preferable as it should reduce the effect, but it will not avoid halo exchange from one direction to the other one.

## Historical Production

-    221(d)(4) _	__	__1960s - 2007_
- 			9,099 loans
- 			1,107,865 units
- 			$42.6 billion insurance written
-                      $15.9 billion insurance in force

**Notes:**
Some history – you may not want to spend time on this one (or the next slide).

## Current production

-    221(d)(4)_ – FY 2006_
- 			92 loans
- 			14,996 units
- 			$885 million insurance written

**Notes:**
Some more history.  If you divide, you see that it’s actually about 120,000 units per year, but many / most have been refinanced and so we don’t want to be counting the same units twice.

## 221(D)(4) PROGRAM BASICS 

- NEW CONSTRUCTION AND SUBSTANTIAL REHABILIATION
- _INSURES  BOTH CONSTRUCTION AND PERMANENT LOANS_
- _40 YEAR MORTGAGE TERM_
- _FINANCED WITH GNMA MORTGAGED-BACKED SECURITIES _

**Notes:**
Some history – you may not want to spend time on this one (or the next slide).

## Builder/Sponsor Profit and Risk Allowance (BSPRA)

- . History
- . Identity of interest with General Contractor
- . 10% of all costs except land
- . Effect on borrower equity

**Notes:**
Some more history.  If you divide, you see that it’s actually about 120,000 units per year, but many / most have been refinanced and so we don’t want to be counting the same units twice.

## Mortgage Limitations 

-   90% of Replacement Cost(New Construction))
-    90% of Rehab cost plus As-Is Value(Sub Rehab)
-     Debt Service Limit(90% of Net Income)
-   Statutory Per Unit Limits

**Notes:**
Explain that when we use the term market rate, we are typically talking about both the rents paid (vs Section 8 or other subsidies, or LIHTC rent restrictions), and that the mortgage itself is a “conventional” product – that is, there are no interest rate subsidies such as in the older assisted FHA or in a tax exempt bond transaction.

## Cost Certifcation

- . History
- .  Borrower in all cases
- .  General Contractor in identity of interest (e.g., BSPRA) cases

**Notes:**
If it’s built, will anyone live here?
Can it be built in this location?
What can go wrong???? – another way to ask this question is “Why isn’t there a project already being built here?”

Evidence of Site Control
Deed – no impermissible reverter language
b. Purchase Agreement – does it give enough time to get deal done? Add clause making purchase contingent on issuance of HUD commitment 

## Ground Leases 

-   Term
-       - 99 year renewable
-       - 10 years beyond maturity date
-    Limit on Value
-   FHA right to purchase Fee title
-    Limit on Ground Rent

**Notes:**
Things the Developer is thinking about before anyone else.

## Status of Indirect Search for Dark Matter with Milagro

- Todd Haines
- P-23, LANL
- For L. Fleysher & Milagro Collaboration

- Description of Milagro
- Calculation of annihilations in the solar neighborhood
- Results & Conclusions

## Air-Showers

## Milagro—A Different Approach

- Goal:  High-duty cycle, wide-FOV observations of the TeV sky
- World’s first continuous, open-aperture instrument in the TeV energy regime

## Milagro EAS Detection

- 8 Mgal. water pond @ 8,600’
- 2 layers for detection of “soft” and “hard” components
- 405 PMTs in “AS-layer”
- 273 PMTs in “-layer”

## Inside Milagro

## Direction Determination

- Reconstruct direction from fast-timing measurements
- ~1/2 ns rel. time of arrival
- Time-over-threshold for pulse-height

## Cosmic Ray Rejection

**Cosmic Ray Rejection**

- Search for large pulses in small number of tubes

- X2

- Gamma MC

- Data

- Proton MC

- _Demand X__2__ > 2.5_
- Retain:
- 54% of Gammas
- 9% of Protons
- Q = 1.8

## WIMP Annihilation in the Solar Neighborhood

- Why gamma-rays?
- +Gamma-ray products are easier to detect than neutrinos
- -Gamma-rays don’t escape from solar interior
- Must understand annihilations of trapped WIMPs in solar neighborhood
- Calculation proceeds as follows:
- Start with initial conditions for annihilation point (**X****0**, **p****1**, **p****2**)
- Calculate each WIMP’s orbit backwards in time, allowing elastic WIMP/sun interactions, until it escapes solar system
- Weight each annihilation using Maxwellian velocity dist’n at infinity
- Main simplifications:
- Steady state, # captured = # annihilated
- no ‘direct’ annihilations,
- constant density sun
- no planets

## Simulation Results

- 50% of annihilations
- outside of Sun!

## Summary of Results

- General procedure:
- Use cut to enhance signal/noise
- Measure total depth of solar shadow
- Use moon shadow observation to compare with Solar results
- Assume excess from Sun remainder is from WIMPs
- Also 0’s from CR-p on solar limb...
- Assuming neutralino mass M = 200 GeV
- Local DM density 0 = 0.3 GeV/cm3
- Solar capture rate
- ~6x1022 hr-1 [p-/10-43 cm2] [/0]
- Detection rate
- ~10 BR [p-/10-43 cm2] [/0] events/day
- should observe signal >> 3  if
- p-  10-41 – 10-42 cm2 (200 GeV/ M)~0.5
- Of course, really limit BR p-

- Thesis work of Lazar Fleysher

## Results II

- Moon

- Sun

- Sig. of excess

- Exposure

## Gamma-ray Flux Limits

- Allowed

- Allowed

- Direct annihilations

- Continuum annihilations

- Limits on the photon flux come directly from
- Milagro’s sensitivity and the (assumed) spectral
- shape.

## Limits on WIMP parameters

- Photon flux at earth as a function of various
- WIMP parameters

- Allowed

## WIMP Parameters II

## Summary

- Calculation of WIMP signal in solar neighborhood is complete
- Approx. 50% of annihilations occur outside of sun
- Search for annihilation signal near sun finished, competitive limits for M> few x 100 GeV
- Can look for clumps in DM halo with good sensitivity, etc.
