## Improving Geographic Market Analysis in Spatial Markets

- Daniel P. O’Brien
- U.S. Department of Justice
- May 24, 2007

- The views expressed herein are mine and do not purport to represent the views of the U.S. Department of Justice

## Why Define Markets?

- “Markets are defined so that when one calculates the share that a firm (or group of firms) comprises, one can assess whether that firm has significant market power.”  (Carlton, CPI, 2007).
- A corollary:
- Market definition allows using *changes* in concentration to assess *changes* in market power caused by merger.
- It is well-recognized that shares are very crude measures of market power.

## Crudeness of Market Definition in Spatial Markets

- Three “towns.”
- A and B merge.
- Guidelines market:
- A, B, C, D
- If travel costs matter
- D’s share will get too much weight.
- E’s and F’s shares will get too little weight.

- A

- B

- C

- F

- D

- E

## Crudeness of Market Definition in Spatial Markets

- Three “towns.”
- A and D merge.
- Relevant market
- A, D, F.
- If travel costs matter:
- C, B, and even E’s shares are under-weighted.

- A

- B

- C

- D

- E

- F

## Do These Errors Matter?

- One view is that these errors don’t matter much.
- Geographic market is to be used only for developing safe-harbors.
- Detailed competitive effects analysis ultimately supplants imperfect share-based analysis.
- My experience is that these errors do matter.
- Analytical competitive effects analysis may be difficult.
- Can cause Guidelines safe harbors morph into competitive effects analysis, something that was never intended.
- Courts demand market shares and typically give them significant weight.

## So What Should We Do?

- Two tracks

**Structural analysis**

- Guidelines share analysis

- Spatially-informed share  analysis (Distance Logit)

- Spatially-informed demand analysis (Distance Logit Plus)

**“****Reduced-form” analysis**

-  Error prone.
-  Reserve for safe harbors.

-  Better than the Guidelines safe harbors.
-  Easier than the Guidelines safe harbors.
-  Places moderate burden on the data.
-  Doesn’t yield demand elasticities.

-  Similar information demands as Guidelines safe harbors!
-  Yields demand elasticities.
-  Places heavy burden on the data.

-  Directly (“simply”) exploits experiments in the data.

## Conclusion

- Guidelines share analysis should not substitute for competitive effects analysis, especially in spatial markets.
- Ongoing research (with Mike Sandfort) on the benefits of spatially-informed share analysis.
- Significant potential to improve the antitrust analysis of spatial markets.
- Spatially-informed demand analysis highly feasible for extended investigations.

## Aerosol Cloud Interactions: 

***Field Studies and Interpretation***
- Peter Daum, Larry Kleinman, Robert McGraw,
- Yangang Liu, and Jian Wang

## Overall Focus

*Aerosol chemical and physical  properties and the supersaturation at which they activate. *
*Aerosol chemical and physical properties and the number and size distribution of cloud droplets.*
*Cloud microphysics and the initiation of rain in warm clouds.*

_*Overall Focus*_

## Background

_*Background*_

***S represents the uncertainty in %S if we know the particle size,  but not the composition.** *

## Background

_*Background*_

*To what extent do these compositional effects manifest themselves in the ambient atmosphere?*

## Aerosol/CCN Experiments

*Can we do better with more detailed measurements of aerosol properties?  Can we define “families” of aerosol particles based upon composition that have similar CCN properties?*

_*Aerosol/CCN Experiments*_

*VanReken, et al, 2003*

## Aerosol/CCN Experiments

*Surface studies-** *
*RH response/composition relations.  *
*	**Use a HTDMA to select particles according to their **	**	**size and hygroscopicity and an AMS to **	**	**	**determine composition. *
*CCN activity/composition studies*
*	**Selectively sample activated and unactivated **	**	**particles coming from a CCN counter sampling **	**	**ambient air with an AMS. *
*Aircraft studies-**  *
*Examine CCN/size/composition relations using a combination of the AMS and PILS for composition, DMA’s and OPC’s for size, and CCN spectrometer for CCN.*

## Aerosol/CDNC Closure

_*Aerosol/CDNC Closure*_

*Such closure experiments are necessary because aerosol-CCN closure experiments do not account for all of the quantities known to effect aerosol activation under ambient conditions.*

*Conant et al, 2004.*

## Second Indirect effect Studies

*Focus-** *
*Evaluation and extension of recently developed theory and parameterizations of the autoconversion process (conversion of cloud droplets to drizzle). McGraw and Liu 2003; 2004, Liu and Daum, 2004, Liu et al, 2004.*
*Requirements-*
*Evaluation requires measurements of cloud microphysics and cloud dynamics (turbulence) under conditions where a gradient in cloud microphysics induced by anthropogenic aerosols exists.*

## Summary:

- ENSO-CLIPER can be utilized as a “no-skill” benchmark prediction
- For 1998-2002, the most skillful models were:
- 	(0-1 seasons):  CCA, Markov
- 	(2-3 seasons):  Analog, LIM, Markov
- For 1998-2002, numerical models are still having difficulty
- 	outperforming CLIPER and thus have little to no skill
- Significant biases:
- 	Too warm – BMRC, CCA, NCEP
- 	Too cold – COLA-Anom, LIM, Neural, SCR/MPI
- Improvements in ENSO predictability can achieve through optimal
- 	combination of existing models

## Northern Mid-Atlantic Cool-Season Damaging Wind Events

- An examination of methodology and technology.
- Raymond Kruzdlo
- WFO Mount Holly, New Jersey
- Severe Weather Technology Conference
- July 12, 2005

## Type of event

- Severe level(50 kts or greater) synoptic winds combined with shallow convection in the form on long linear lines(sometimes broken)
- Little or, in many cases, no lightning(limited instability)
- Short duration damaging winds

## Methodology

- ROML E-8-98, Section V. Combined Synoptic and Mesoscale Events.
- Uses a time-filtered approach to classify events.

## Methodology

- If the superposed convective wind event is expected to equal or exceed warning values for ONE HOUR or more, then a NPW(High Wind Warning) is recommended. If LESS THAN ONE HOUR, a SVR(Severe Thunderstorm Warning) is recommended.
- Advisory levels, Wind Advisory vs. NOW

## October 15 , 2003

- KDOX (Dover AFB) radar 16-level base reflectivity data at 0243 UTC on  15 October, 2003 (left), and corresponding base velocity (right).

## October 15, 2003

- KDIX radar 256-level base reflectivity data at 0428 UTC on 15 October 2003 (left) and corresponding base velocity (right).

## Technology

- WWA or GHG to compose High Wind Warning
- Long, tedious process
- WARNGEN to compose Severe Thunderstorm Warning
- Simplistic and quick

## Questions to Ask

- Is the public(our customers) served?
- Questions from storm surveys
- Give public more recognition, they have become more knowledgeable
- Are we painting an accurate picture?
- Do we need to reexamine methodology(policy)?
- Do we have the technology in place?

## Questions from Phil

- (1) a projection of when your experiment dAu goals will be met.
- (2) your proposal, with physics justification, for what to do next if we are given a budget that will not take us past the end of Feb.

## Summary of the Run 8 dAu Data set

- Last revised December 28, 2007.

- Sum = 9.2 Mevts
- 31% of Goal
- (<.8 Mevts/day>)

- Sum = 15.1 nb-1
- 50% of Goal
- (<1.15 nb-1/day> last 8 days)
- (<1.54 nb-1/day> best 4 days)

- Goals:
- 	- 30 Mevts of usable “min-bias”
- 	- 30 nb-1 of sampled luminosity (Slow Det. Readout)
- 	- 60 nb-1 of sampled luminosity (Fast Det. Readout, not started)

- About 26 more days to reach goal *at present rate*.

- About 13 more days to reach goal *at present rate*.

- For the Fast Det. Sampled luminosity, once going, best sustained rate probably ~ 1.4 nb-1/day. This means ~ 35-40 days to reach goal. (somewhere around Feb 1 – Feb 6)

## 200 GeV pp running.

- As a minimum, STAR would like to sample ~ 6 pb-1. This would likely require ~ 12 – 20 pb-1 delivered.

- Minimum integrated
- luminosity needed
- For d+Au ref. somewhere
- around here
- If polarization good, do trans.
- spin physics, but this is lower
- priority

## Summary

- Highest priority to finish d+Au and get “solid” measurement. If things go well this would be done by Feb 1.
- Short (couple of days) low E Au+Au test run very important—we are “flying blind” for a major program initiative presently scheduled for Run 10
- Minimum ref required for d+Au requires 6 nb-1 sampled  (12 nb-1) delivered which looks like 2-3 weeks of data taking
- If polarization good, transverse spin measurement at 200 GeV will add new results (correlations in FMS), but getting ref for d+Au drives the schedule from STAR’s view

**The ITWG MISSION**
**The International TOVS Working Group (ITWG) is convened as a sub-group of the Radiation Commission of the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS).  ITWG organizes the International TOVS Study Conferences (ITSC), which have met every 18-24 months since 1983.  Through this forum, operational and research users of TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder (TOVS) and Advanced TOVS (ATOVS) data from the NOAA series of polar orbiting satellites and other atmospheric sounding data have exchanged information on methods for extracting information from these data on atmospheric temperature, moisture and other fields, and on the impact of these data in numerical weather prediction and in climate studies.  The ITWG meetings also result in recommendations to guide the directions of future research and to influence relevant programs of WMO and satellite provider agencies (e.g. NASA, NESDIS, EUMETSAT, NSMC, JMA).**
** **
**An important part of the Group's work has been to foster and participate in the generation of software to be shared throughout the community to enable use to be made of these data for operations and research.  The Group also has an important education and training role through the WMO. **

## Background

- Inconsistent Comparisons of Test Data Created Questions of NEA Required to Inert an Aircraft  Center Wing Tank
- Focus of the Testing is to Better Determine the Best Method to Inert a Compartmentalized Fuel Tank
- Study Equal NEA Distribution and Localized NEA Deposit
- Study Cross-Vented and Single Vent Configurations
- Develop Methods to Make Fair Comparisons.

## Test Article

- Quarter Scale Model of Boeing 747 SP CWT was Built from Plywood By Scaling Drawings from Shepherd Report
- 24% length Scale (1.2% Volume)
- Scaled all Bay-Bay Penetrations
- “Variable Manifold” Allows for Depositing NEA in Any and All Bays of the Tank at Different Rates to Support Inerting Times as Low as 10 Minutes
- Oxygen Sensor in Each Bay and in One Vent Channel

## Scale Model Bay Convention

- Dry Bay

- 1

- 2

- 3

- 4

- 5

- 6

## Preliminary Balanced Data

- Inerted Tank Several Times with NEA 95% and NEA 98% with the Goal of Balancing the Flow into Inert Each Bay “Equally” for Standard Cross-Venting Configuration
- Acquired Data with a Stop Watch (1 reading per minute)
- Developed a Volumetric Average to Make Comparisons with Other Inerting Runs
- Results As Expected and Consistent with Previous Testing but New Numbers Point Toward a VTE of 1.6 for 95% NEA
- VTE Very Sensitive to O2 Concentration at 8% for 95% NEA

## Preliminary Balanced Inerting Data

## Preliminary Balanced Weighted Average Data

## Preliminary Unbalanced Data

- Inerted Tank Several Times with NEA 95% with the Goal of Minimizing the Volume Required to Inert the Tank with Standard Cross-Venting Configuration
- Acquired Data with a Stop Watch (1 reading per minute)
- Used the Volumetric Average Developed to Make Fair Comparisons with Other Inerting Runs
- Results Illustrated Very Little Improvement in VTE Required, but Allowed for Simpler Manifold Designs
- Smart Design as Good or Better then Well Balanced Manifold

## Preliminary Unbalanced Inerting Data

## Preliminary Unbalanced Weighted Average Data

## NEA Minimization Data

- Inerted Tank Several Times with NEA 95% to Minimizing the NEA Volume Required to Inert the Tank with Half Vent System Blocked (No Cross Venting)
- Acquired Data with Computer Data Acquisition System at a Rate of 1 Sample per Second (Approximate)
- First did Balanced Run to Give Baseline;  Used the Volumetric Average Developed to Make Fair Comparisons with Other Inerting Methods
- Results Illustrated Modest Improvement with Simplest Deposit Scheme

## NEA Minimization Data - Best Data

## Unbalanced Weighted Average Data

## Summary

- Model Results Consistent with Existing Knowledge Base But VTE Slightly Higher in These Experiments
- This is Believed to be due to Better Measurement Techniques Developed
- Depositing in an Efficient Manner Can Greatly Simplify Manifold Design and Even Improve Inerting Efficiency
- Still Need to Verify Results in Full-Scale Test Article

## MODIS Geolocation Status

- Robert Wolfe, Mash Nishihama, Al Fleig, James Kuyper
- MODIS Science Team Meeting
- December 19, 2001

## Measured RMS error

- Three Geolocation LUT updates since launch
- Nadir equivalent meters
- Update 3 vs. 2:
- Scan direction error better
- Track direction error worst

|  | Update 2 – June ‘00
(Collection 1) | Update 3 – Feb. ‘01
(Collection 3) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Along Scan | 58 m | 56 m |
| Along Track | 57 m | 74 m |
| # Days | 196 | 214 |
| Match-ups/day | 77 | 82 |

**Notes:**
The images are of MODIS data (blue) and Simulated MODIS data (red) derived from TM Data using the MODIS geomectric model.  
The top image shows the misalignment before bias removal.  There is a strong red line off the coast showing the missalignment.
The bottom image shows the images after the  bias is removed.

## Update 2 vs. 3

## 16-day mean residuals time line

- 2000/201

- 2001/064

- 2000/312

- 2001/321

## CP match-up residual time series

## Possible correlation of along-track error with spacecraft pitch

- Suspect use of predicted orbit in FDS “definitive” attitude processing

- 5 data-days; 2001/093-097

## Along track error vs. scan angle

- This error is modeled by tilting mirror axis and performing a corresponding pitch correction.

## Planed geolocation LUT updates

- Update 4 planned for late January 2002 (after consistent year)
- Tilt vs. pitch bias correction (40 m in track direction at large scan angles)
- Remove +/- 10 m mirror side difference in scan direction
- Remove small 13 m roll bias (along scan)
- Pitch? – multiple LUTs may be needed (until time-dependent s/w available)
- Update 5 will be ready for next reprocessing
- Correct for annual cycle in scan direction (+/- 15m)
- Possible correction for pitch trend (step function?)

## S/W plans

- Next Terra geolocation code delivery
- expected in late April 2001
- Piecewise linear LUT
- Other minor improvements
- Aqua
- At-launch geolocation code ready since January 2001
- Participating in End-to-end testing (MT2, MOSS-n)
- Band-to-band registration a concern
- CP matching
- Started using hierarchal searching algorithm in Collection 3 reprocessing (reduced CPU usage by 90%)
- Island matching will be in operations in February 2002

## Land-sea mask

- South America inland water
- From EOS DEM SWG – best available sources

## Ancillary data update

- Attitude
- FDS Definitive (using predicted orbit!) vs. real-time spacecraft
- Only have to use FDS near maneuvers
- Land-sea mask
- Inland water class particularly problematic in central South America
- Should be updated with MODIS Land Cover product
- Terrain data
- Should be updated with SRTM data
- 500 m and 250 m DEM possible (is this needed?)
- Reconvene EOS DEM SWG?
- Refresh CP library
- All current CPs from L4/5
- Landsat 7?

## Free Cooling

## Psychrometric Chart for San Jose

**3,200 Hours Minimum **

## Free Cooling Configuration #2 - Series PCW Only

**Notes:**
Another schematic free cooling approach for free cooling of only the process chilled water.  Things to note: the process chilled water is at a relatively high temperature that can be served for a far greater number of the years with free cooling – for this client in Nampa, Idaho the free cooling system could cover the full process cooling load for 7,900  hours a year.  Again, note that there is no loss of reliability with the chiller supplied heat x-changers placed in series to provide topping cooling and immediate back-up in case of failure.  This allows for the use of lighter weight (cheaper, and perversely frequently more efficient) towers in the non-critical free cooling system. Feed into the medium temperature loops.

## An Innovative Layout Possibility

- Dual Temperature Chilled Water Plant

## Pumping Problems

## Current  Primary - Secondary Pumping

## VFD Chillers

## Lower Chiller Condenser Water Temperatures

## Slide 11

## Use Variable Speed Drives

-  Good for fans, even better for pumps, which are typically controlled and balanced by throttling

**Notes:**
RO pallet pump controlled by inlet vanes.  Addition of a VFD could reduce energy use and save $2,720 / yr.  Incremental cost of adding a VFD estimated at less than $10,000, for a payback of less than 3.7 years

## Remove Booster Pumps and close bypasses

## Close 3-way Valves

- B8 has a highly variable load due to air washer capacity, yet a constant flow

## Aim for Highest Possible CHW Delta T

## Exhaust Optimization

| Exhaust Reduction Amount | Annual Electricity Savings (kWh) | Annual Gas Savings (Therms) | Annual Energy Cost Savings ($) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 5,000 cfm | 223,400 | 24,350 | $20,800 |
| 10,000 cfm | 440,000 | 48,700 | $41,200 |
| 20,000 cfm | 854,000 | 97,400 | $81,300 |

- Tool exhaust can be optimized via tracer gas or other accepted test methods
- In most cases tool exhaust can be reduced 10 – 50%
- Fume containment testing required for optimization also verifies worker safety
- Case Study Savings Opportunity:

## When replacing broken or worn out equipment Select the most efficient option

- Efficiency often has little relationship to cost of equipment
- E.G. -----
- Pumps
- Electric Motors
- Fans
- etc.

## Variable Speed Drive Compressors and waste heat regen dryers

- VSD Compressors address the cycling problem

## Commissioning / Retrocommissioning

- Retrocommission - on a regular basis commission key components of system
- E.G. - Develop standard tests for key control loops

## Effect - Supply Air Temperature is Deficient

- Design Supply Air
- Temp is 55 deg F
- with no SAT
- reset

## Cause

- Chilled Water Temperatures

## Slide 22

## Commission to avoid cycling

## Control Optimization

## Integrated Terminal Weather System (ITWS) Data Publication

**Product Fact Sheet – ITWS Data Publication**

- Integrated Terminal Weather System (ITWS) improves NAS efficiency (and enhances NAS capacity) by displaying the impact of convective weather, storm cells, precipitation, airport winds, microbursts, gust fronts, windshear,  lightning, and tornadic activity at selected NAS pacing airports to AOC dispatchers and traffic managers at the ATCSCC, ARTCCs, ATCTs, and large TRACONs. With this real-time picture of convective weather at pacing airports, traffic managers can collaborate with dispatchers to route/re-route traffic as necessary.  Traffic Managers track storm activity at major NAS airports, manage the airport acceptance rates (AAR), and facilitate the flow of traffic in order to mitigate the impact of weather on NAS operations.  This promotes common situational awareness, which is absolutely crucial to the collaborative decision making process that is necessary to reduce weather-related delays. The SWIM provided ITWS Data Publication Service will improve on this by providing ITWS products digitally to the AOCs and other subscribers that supports overlay of ITWS products onto user workstations for greater common situational awareness.   Further, engineering these data services using SWIM standards will reduce integration costs while enabling wider access to weather products.

## An OEM Perspective on On-Board Hydrogen Storage for Passenger Vehicles:Technical Issues and Challenges

- Morse N. Taxon
- Liberty & Technical Affairs
- DaimlerChrysler Corporation
- May 7, 2003

## The Automotive Business

- Our goal is to make money
- We do that by *profitably* selling a broad spectrum of vehicles which collectively meet the widely varying needs of our customers
- We _must_ satisfy our customers, our stockholders, our employees, regulations (federal, state, international), and society

## At Present, Fossil Fuels Rule

- Why?
- Hydrocarbon fuels are energy dense, cheap, abundant, easy to process and transport, and familiar
- Issues
- HC, CO, NOx emissions (however, SULEV vehicles have actually been demonstrated to clean the air!)
- Unregulated greenhouse gas emissions (CO**2**)
- Dependence on foreign sources of oil (national security)
- A new OEM goal
- Remove the automobile from both the CO**2** and oil dependence issues by eliminating the use of hydrocarbon fuels

## Hydrogen’s Advantages as a Fuel

- Most abundant element
- Enables both FC and ICE developments
- No carbon emissions from on-board use
- High gravimetric energy density

## Problems with Hydrogen as a Fuel

- Very diffuse
- Smallest molecule – hard to contain
- Extremely low volumetric energy density

## Fundamental Issues

- Customer requirements drive everything we do
- In order to sell a broad spectrum of hydrogen powered vehicles, the customer experience must not require any compromises (or different behavior) in these areas:
- SAFETY
- Initial Cost
- Vehicle performance
- Range between refueling events
- Passenger capacity
- Luggage capacity
- Operation
- Driving
- Refueling
- Cost

## We Need New Materials

- Material requirements
-   lightweight with high capacity for hydrogen
-   rapid kinetic properties
-   equilibrium properties (P,T) consistent with  	near ambient conditions
-   low cost

## The Challenges

- Meet customer-driven requirements
- Fully investigate known options and permutations
- High pressure gas
- Liquid
- Cryogenic gas
- Metal hydrides
- Advanced chemical hydrides
- Chemical storage
- Carbon nanostructures
- Glasslike spheres
- Others?
- Invent something new
- Possibly limit hydrogen to specific applications
- Least desirable: worst business case, smallest effect on oil imports and CO**2**
- Don’t give up!
