- Management Council

- 2006 Nov 29

## Archiving Status

- DMAP signed
- ICD - implicit in DMAP
- SIS -
- Preliminary version reviewed for each instrument
- Final version not yet available (but preliminary versions were prettty good)
- Data
- No sample data available yet
- No calibration data available yet
- Pipeline
- All data to be processed at SOC (at SwRI Boulder)
- Peer review of pipeline discussed several times over last year but never held

- Management Council

- 2006 Nov 29

## Recent Developments

- Jim Green announced that there will be a JDAP for New Horizons using FY07 money
- SBN held discussions with New Horizons regarding “typical” requirements for data delivery to PDS for DAP eligibility
- Kolokolova and Raugh attended SOC + Science Team meeting in November
- New Horizons team still neither willing to schedule a pipeline peer review nor willing to provide sample data

- Management Council

- 2006 Nov 29

## Current Plan for Jovian Data

- Data taken and downlinked January 2007 to July 2007
- April delivery of data through closest approach - both raw and calibrated (a change from plan as of two months ago)
- All Jovian data will be delivered in August-September, including re-calibration of early data
- Noting the huge improvement in their plan, we presume NASA told them they had to deliver in order to get DAP funds

- Management Council

- 2006 Nov 29

## Data - Format & Volume

- ALL data will be in PDS-labelled FITS format
- This partly a result of A’Hearn’s attendance at an early science team meeting to urge uniformity across instruments - advantages recognized instantly by science team
- Estimated volume at Jupiter
- ALICE - 5 Gbits, images
- LEISSA - 18 Gbits, cubes
- LORRI - 12 Gbits, images
- MVIC - 1 Gbit, images
- PEPSSI - 10 Gbit, table
- REX - 26 Mbits, table
- SWAP - 900 Mbits, table
- SDC - ??

- Management Council

- 2006 Nov 29

## PDS Roles

- Until now, all interaction with SOC has been by SBN
- Minimizes need for SOC to deal with node-to-node vagaries
- ATM interested because data at Jupiter are mostly atmospheric
- PPI interested in SWAP and PEPSSI
- Radio Science interested in REX
- Original plan was to involve other nodes at time of pipeline review - with decision not to have a review, what should be role of other nodes?  Don’t want SOC to have to deal with multiple nodes (cf ESA PSA position)

## Other Considerations: Upper GI and renal effect

- OTC drugs may be self-administered as previously “prescribed” (high dose)
- OTC drugs may be used for long duration
- Risk increases with combination of >1 NSAID
- For GI events risk increases with aspirin use

## Other Considerations: Important other adverse effects

- Hypertension
- Small increases in mean BP, large population effect
- Small bowel and lower GI bleeding
- Dyspepsia
- Increased health care costs

**Notes:**
The robot will be controlled remotely with keyboard or joystick, communicating with a wireless card on the robot itself using UDP.

## Secure Communication between the GUI and the Robot (devserv)

- control gui

- devserv

- connect using SSL

- generate/store shared secret

- end SSL connection

- send control messages using shared secret

- TCP

- UDP

- multicast status information

**Notes:**
A "shared secret" is established over a secure TCP connection, then that secret is used to digitally sign all subsequent UDP packets.
The only concern is verifying the identity of the controller, so the control information itself is not encrypted.

## Robot Control GUI

- Two GUIs, really
- The "debug" GUI models very closely the commands available through the BASIC Stamp. The user selects parameters and then clicks on a button to issue a command.
- The "game" GUI provides (or will provide) a set of simple game-like controls for moving the robot and its cameras, issuing commands in a stream based on feedback from *devserv*.

## Possibility of Installing Passive Shielding in the Tevatron

- From Temple review:
- Recommendation to see if passive shielding will help reduce number of quenches for 2 cases:
- 1) Where the are a large number of quenches.
- 2) Where sensitive to losses.
- Main purpose to for adding passive shielding would be to decrease the amount of time recovering from quenches at locations that satisfy 1) and 2).

## Possible Locations of Passive Shielding from Quench Data

- Passive Shielding
- _Not_ possible in 2 & 3
- Houses. (no room)
- Possible locations are
- Zero house &17 & 48
- Locations.
- A0 large number of
- quenches due to
- Abort problems,
- Including A4 and B0.

- Represent best
- Locations to attempt
- Passive shielding.

## Statistics of Quench Locationsfrom 3/2001 to 2/2004

- Injection Quenches

- Abort Kicker Problems

- Beam on scraper

## Best Locations to Calculate to Install Passive Shielding

| Location | Energy | Particle | Cell |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| A11 | 150 and 980 | Proton | A11 upper and lower |
| F49 | 980 | Antiprotons | F48 Lower |
| A48 | 980 | Proton | A48 Upper |
| F17 | 980 | Proton | F17 Lower |
| F11 | 150 | Proton | F11 Upper |
| D48 | 980 | Proton |  D48 Lower |
|  |  |  |  |

## Info to proceed

- List/reason of Locations to shield.
- List of measurements to assess shielding at each location.
- Estimate of shielding material.
- Weight problems at location due to shielding.
- Simulation if shielding will decrease probability of quench.

## A0 Space for Passive Shielding 

- F49 Side

- A11 Side

- ~ 10 m

- ~ 13m

- These are in the middle of the straight section
- Not at the ends where you would like shielding

## F17 Downstream End

- This much room

## B0 – B1 Side Shielding

## B0 – A4 Side Shielding

## Conclusions

- It will be very difficult to install passive shielding in the Tevatron and get significant results because:
- 1) Limited space for shielding.
- 2) Even if shielding worked 50% of time would only gain 1-2 days of regained downtime per year.

## Conclusions

- However we can calculate effects for above locations.
- Also A0 is best place out of all locations to attempt passive shielding.  There are also different configurations of A0 that could be considered.
- Current lattice of A0.
- A0 with dumps moved toward kickers to reduce amount of angle but kicker and move kickers to accommodate shielding in from of cold magnets.

**Notes:**
This figure is an attempt to explain the spatial analysis.  In the case of a zip code analysis, The program assigns the ratio of syndrome to other non categorized visits to central points of each zip code which are in red. The analysis looks for all possible combinations of circles and their Log likelihood ratios (LLR) in blue. The largest LLR is compared to 999 simulations based on historical data and its ranking is equal to the p value (this is Monte Carlo simulation).

## What has Syndromic Surveillance been useful for?

- Detection of annual citywide outbreaks of norovirus, rotavirus, influenza, asthma
- Age-specific influenza morbidity surveillance
- Usually earliest indication of community-wide influenza
- Detected citywide increase in diarrhea and local respiratory signals after August 2003 blackout
- Less useful for detecting localized outbreaks
- Reassurance when there are no citywide signals (e.g., SARS 2003, plague 2002, anthrax 2001)
- Other uses:  Monitoring trends in cigarette sales and Rx for tobacco cessation aids

## IB Report

- Project management representation on the Executive Committee
- It was agreed that now that NOvA is approved and there will be a project management team, the team should be represented on the executive committee by an ad hoc member or members.  The exact format of the representation will be decided when the management team is defined.
- The elections, did they work OK?
- The turnout for the elections was disappointing, even after vigorous encouragement from the IB chair, under 50% voted in the executive committee election. This reflects the fact that a large fraction of the names on the proposal are not active on the experiment.  Some of the committee expressed the opinion that the MINOS scheme of election by the IB worked better than universal democracy, at least in the early stages of the experiment.  The fact that all the elected members came from MINOS was unfortunate.

## IB report

- The committee decided to adopt the MINOS procedure of enlarging the executive committee by one person per year for the next two years to cater for new institutions joining now we are approved.
- Procedure for admitting new institutions now we are approved
- The Nova bylaws currently specify that new institutions must wait for two IB meetings to be admitted.  It was considered that at this stage in the experiment this was too restrictive and the bylaws should be modified to allow an institution to be admitted at the same meeting as that in which they gave their presentation to the collaboration
- Any Other Business
- John Cooper has produced a Nova-authors address list which will be more complete and more restrictive than the current Nova list, based on the proposal author list.

## NHB

**NHB**

## NASA Assurance Standard (NAS)

- Effective immediately, NASA Headquarters _will not_ approve the release of any new NASA Handbooks, including revisions.

- The replacements for workmanship standards are called NASA Assurance Standards and are considered direct replacements for all users of the current NHB’s.

- The assurance standards are requirements documents and are to be imposed, interpreted, and implemented exactly as the NHB’s were.

## Reduction and/or Consolidation

- The NASA Assurance Standard Technical Committee remains obligated to continue to research industry standards and identify those that will provide the reliability necessary for NASA hardware.
- For disciplines that do not have industry contemporaries, the committee must continue to pursue an aggressive reduction/consolidation schedule, satisfactory to NASA Headquarters.

## What to do....

## University of Minnesota-Twin Cities MRSEC Timothy P. Lodge DMR-0212302 Electrostatic Tuning of the Magnetic Properties of Manganites (IRG 3)

- The field-effect-transistors used in devices such as microprocessors are controlled by an gate electrode, which is used either to add or remove charge carriers from a narrow region of semiconductor, known as the channel, which is underneath the gate.   For example, a positive voltage applied to the gate attracts electrons into the channel, making it more conducting, while a negative voltage removes electrons, so that the channel behaves like an insulator.  This ability to tune the electrical conductance is what provides transistors with their functionality.    In principle, other physical properties besides electrical conductance can be controlled in this fashion.  For example, modifying the density of carriers in certain materials can change them from non-magnetic to magnetic or from insulating to superconducting.    The ability to control magnetism or superconductivity electronically could have immense technological impact.  A significant problem, however, is that the variations in charge density required to reach this goal are much larger than those achieved in typical semiconductors.   IRG3 researchers have addressed this problem by preparing extremely thin substrates of strontium-titanate, on which oxide films can be grown epitaxially.   A gate electrode is deposited on the bottom of the sample, allowing for control of the charge density at the interface between the strontium-titanate and the oxide.    In addition to permitting epitaxial growth, the strontium-titanate has a large dielectric constant, which leads to much larger charge densities than conventional insulators of comparable thickness.  Figure 1 provides an example for the case when La¬¬¬0.8Ca0.2MnO3 is used as the gated material.  The magnetoresistance of the La¬¬¬0.8Ca0.2MnO3 film can change by up to 40% upon application of a gate voltage.  Unlike the usual case of a doped semiconductor, the effect is independent of the sign of

- the gate voltage.  Finally, the gate voltage can also be used to modify the magnetic disorder that determines the dynamics of very thin films on long time scales.

## A Burn Scar Mapping Algorithm for MODIS Direct Broadcast Data

- J. Meghan Salmon, W. M. Hao, and B. Nordgren
- USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station, Fire Sciences Laboratory, Missoula, Montana

**Introduction:**
- At the Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory, a MODIS DB station is in place to demonstrate the potential for monitoring forest fires in near-real-time and predicting their effects on air quality downstream. As building blocks of this system, we extract active fire locations (MOD14-4.3.2) and burned area detections (Li et. al. 2004)*. The former are visible on our website, mapped over a course-scale resampling of each pass for the day (_[www.firelab.org](http://www.firelab.org/)_).    * Li, Rong-Rong, Y. Kaufman, W. M. Hao, J. M. Salmon, and B.-C. Gao. June 2004. A Technique for Detecting Burn Scars Using MODIS Data. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, V. 42 N. 6, pp. 1300-1308.

**Algorithm Description:**
- The burnscar algorithm has multiple layers. The first is a spectral test for the signature characteristic of a recently-burned area. For this, we use the algorithm outlined in Li et al 2004, but we have found it to have a prohibitively high false alarm rate. We have therefore added a subsequent tests. The first is a convolution filter to remove small clusters of detections (less than 6 in a 5x5 pixel box). Next, we filter on the minimum distance to an active fire detected in the past ten days (eliminate when dmin >= 5km). Finally, the active fire and burnscar detections are aggregated together to form fire perimeters for each burning event. These perimeters grow with the addition of detections, merge together when appropriate, and become ‘inactive’ after 10 days pass without any active fire detections.

**Results:**
- We compared the algorithm results to infrared mapped fire perimeters from the I-90 Complex incident near Missoula, Montana August 4-21. In some cases, the MODIS 250m corrected reflectance product is shown in the background, and in others a topographic map is shown instead. When available, the fire perimeter from the evening’s IR flight is shown in orange.

**Conclusions:**
- Monitoring the algorithm’s performance during the 2005 fire season, and comparing its results to data from fires in Idaho and Western Montana has led us to conclude that it effectively maps fire growth in near-real time. A complete validation is still necessary, and planned for winter 2006. The above perimeters, when combined with a fuel type map and FOFEM (First Order Fire Effects Model) software, allowed us to generate daily emissions estimates from the I-90 Complex, shown at left.

- The key element in implementing this burnscar mapping method was storing all fire information (hotspots, potential burnscar detections, and fire perimeters) as geographic objects in a PostGIS database (_[http://postgis.refractions.net/](http://postgis.refractions.net/)_). This allows the spatial and temporal searches required for generating time-series of fire perimeters.

## Managing Pervasive Data in a Ubiquitous Computing World

- Finding and using data without *a priori* knowledge about data sources on the network is a fundamental activity for ubiquitous computing applications
- Distributed Query Processing Systems can be used to address this problem
-  These are typically peer-to-peer overlay networks built on top of existing IP-networks
- Distributed in nature with some centralization under the covers
- Used to address a wide variety of problems: wide-area service discovery, event notification, directory enabled networks, distributed sensor-based systems

## Which is best?

- Nearly impossible to perform a comparative study
- Lack of detailed knowledge about assumed operating environments
- Specialized for different applications, performance metrics
- “Best” system is one that provides “best” support for applications at the best performance level
- Issue 1: What are the applications?
- WWW? GnutellaNet?
- Issue 2: What are the performance metrics?
- Network/processor usage?

## Radiosonde Launch Network

## What do meteorologists do with radiosonde data?

## Reasons to collect radiosonde information

- Can assess the stability of the atmosphere
- Can see weather elements at every layer
- Can determine potential for convection, forecast temperatures, character of severe weather
- The data is used to produce weather forecast models

## What are the disadvantages?

- Only available twice a day (00Z and 12Z)
- Character of weather can change dramatically between soundings
- Sounding does not give a true vertical dimension since wind blows balloon downstream
- Sounding does not give a true snapshot since it takes several minutes to travel from the surface to the upper troposphere
