## Mercury Thermometer Exchange

- Replace mercury thermometers with non-mercury thermometers whenever feasible (e.g., liquid-in-glass or digital thermometers).
- Dispose of unbroken mercury thermometers as Universal Waste.  Call x5877 to arrange for pick-up.
- Contact Betsy MacGowan x2826 for a non-mercury replacement thermometer.

- Mercury Thermometer
- (silver mercury inside)

- Non-mercury Alcohol Thermometer (red liquid inside)

- Lessons Learned Reference: _[Mercury Thermometer Exchange Program](http://isswprod.lbl.gov/lessonslearned/browse/preview.aspx?id=504)_

- Breakage of mercury thermometers at LBNL has resulted in mercury spills, area closures, extensive clean-ups, and costly waste disposal.

## Goals and Methodology

-  Examine transport of electrons from the outer magnetosphere to the seed region to understand energization mechanisms (e.g., adiabatic, non-adiabatic)
-  Follow electron trajectories in a 3D model of the Earth’s magnetosphere using guiding center or full particle equations of motion (where appropriate)

- Collect particle data and form distribution functions

- Launch electrons in deep magnetotail with 100 eV Maxwellian distribution

**Goals and Methodology**

## Slide 2

## Conclusions

- Non-adiabatic acceleration can occur near weak magnetic field regions when electrons become de-magnetized and are accelerated directly by the convection electric field (at approximately x > 80 RE)
- Combination of adiabatic and non-adiabatic acceleration occurs as electrons convect earthward from deep magnetotail leading to seed region temperatures > keV
- Temperature anisotropy T/T|| ~ 2 develops at about x < 15 RE (possibly unstable distribution)

## FCC Interim Report

- Spectrum Study of the 2500 - 2690 MHz Band
*The Potential for Accommodating*
*Third Generation Mobile Systems*
- Published November 15, 2000

## 3G System Description

- ITU Recommended 5 radio Interface Standards
- Technical Characteristics for the Study Based on ITU Standards

## Incumbent Systems

- MDS & ITFS Share 190 MHz of spectrum
- ITFS:
- 120 MHz of spectrum
- 1,275 entities hold 2,175 licenses
- Can be used by MDS
- MDS
- 70 MHz of spectrum
- 2,570 licensees
- Approx. 1 million homes receive wireless cable

## Evaluation of Sharing

- Examined 500W & 10 W Base Stations; 100 milliwatt mobiles
- Used C/I Ratios for MDS/ITFS
- Assumed free space propagation
- Minimum separation distances ranged up to 160 km for base stations; 64 km for mobiles

## Band Segmentation

- Examined 3 Options to Provide 90 MHz of Spectrum
- No one option looks better than the others

## Slide 6

## Key Findings

- ITU has done considerable work on standards; no global consensus on how bands identified by ITU will be used to implement 3G
- The 2500 - 2690 MHz band is in a state of rapid evolution by incumbent ITFS and MDS licensees - -providing high speed access to the internet

## Key Findings

- Incumbent ITFS and MDS use varies from one geographic area to another - - a challenge for band sharing or segmentation
- Initial analysis shows sharing would cause interference to incumbent services without adequate separation distances
- Segmenting the band to enable 3G would raise technical and economic difficulties for incumbents

## Watersheds andPolluted Runoff

## The Water Cycle

- Evaporation/ Transpiration

- Saturation/ Condensation

- Precipitation

- Percolation/Run off

## Water: The Ultimate Recycling Process

- The same water that the dinosaurs
- drank is what we use today.

## What is a watershed?

- A watershed is the region of land which collects water that eventually drains into a lake, river, or the ground water.
- Anywhere that you stand on the ground, you are in a watershed.
- You are never outside of a watershed, you just cross from one boundary to the next.

## Your Watershed

- We insert a GIS map of all of the surrounding watersheds of the school being presented to, and have a flag inserted at the schools location.

## What is Polluted Runoff?

- Caused by rain and flood water washing over our nations landscapes, picking up dirt, oil, fertilizer, pesticides, animal waste and other substances
- Substances are then deposited into our rivers, lakes, bays, coastal waters, ground water, and even drinking water supplies.
- 88% of the impairment of our streams and rivers are caused by polluted runoff.

## Polluted Runoff“It’s People Pollution”

**Polluted Runoff****“It’s People Pollution”**

## What is urban runoff?

- Is the third largest source of water quality impairments to surveyed rivers
- Nonporous surfaces like roads, bridges, parking lots, and buildings are a huge part of the problem – cause flooding
- Attract large amounts of traffic on roadways
- Great deal of waste created
- A single city block creates 9X more waste than an area of the same size outside the city.

- Independence Mall

**Notes:**
Nonporous surfaces like roads, bridges, parking lots, and buildings do not allow water to slowly filter into the ground.  The water remains at the surface and builds up.  As the excessive amount of water runs off it eats away at stream banks, damages the trees and plants, and widens the streams. 

## What can we do to prevent Polluted Runoff?

- Conserve water – inside and out
- Do not fertilize your lawn before a rain storm or over-fertilize it so that the excess runs off into the streets
- Take your car to a car wash where the water is treated and recycled.
- Do not pour anything down your storm drain
- Look for alternative forms of transportation, i.e.car pool, public transportation, bike, etc.

## What can we do to prevent Polluted Runoff?

- Clean up after your pets
- Smart waste disposal, i.e. recycling, using proper receptacles to dispose of waste and hazardous waste, i.e. car batteries, solvents, pesticides, etc.
- Become involved, join your local watershed group or volunteer monitoring organization
- Get informed, learn all you can about your local watershed and about NPS pollution, with knowledge, we can make a difference

## Tracking

**Drew Alton**
**University of Michigan**

## P14 Tracking

**P14 Tracking**

**Promised better tracking**
**Bump hunting**
**Efficiency**
**Resolutions**
**We still need some improvements**
**# hits/Track**
******2**** for tracks**
**Mass locations...tuning material/magnetic field**
**Must run faster and more reliably**
**A look at reco-cloggers**

## Highlights of the many bumps we have

## Z Peak

**Nice Z peak.**
**Note that the resolution improvement is dramatic**

## Impact Parameter

**The IP resolution is within 10% of expectations.**

## Tracking Efficiency

**Track Match Efficiency in Z********ee **
**Spatial**
**CC 0.895+-0.009**
**EC 0.779+-0.029**
**Spatial +E/p**
**CC 0.808+-0.013**
**EC Same...no E/p**
**Can Forward tracking be improved using FPS MIP layer?**

## Image of HDI from γ-conversions

**Image of HDI from *****γ*****-conversions**

- CFT

- X, cm

- Y, cm

**HV cap**

## Timing

## It’s not perfect 

**Z->ee track comparison between data/MC**
**As you can see the number of hits doesn’t agree between ****data**** and ****Monte Carlo****.  **
**The ********2**** distribution in ****data**** is wider and has a long tail.**

## Mass 

**The mass of the J/******** is about 1/3 of a sigma low**
**Most peaks have similar issues**
**Currently there is work in the tracking group to understand how to separate effects from material and magnetic field.**

## Reco-Cloggers

**These events were identified on the farms by Mike Diesburg and named by Tom Diehl.**
**They run forever...eventually Mike kills them**

## Crossing Dependence 

**The distribution of RC events seems to depend on crossing number.**
**The CFT has a crossing dependence to it’s pedestal mean (random channel)**

## Improvements

|  | P14.04
Full d0reco | P14.04 + p14.05 tracking
Full d0reco |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Timing 
(GHz s/event) | 64.8 (CPU)
135.0 (real) | 43.0 (CPU)
43.4 (real) |
| Memory (vmem) | 2GB | 650MB |

**Tracking in p14.05 is supposed to mitigate**
**Removes “crumbling” clusters**
**On a file from run 179934 (46e30) (3k events) on CAB**

## Historic Reminders

**About two years ago we had SMT+**
**A year ago we had tracking **
**    ****efficiencies 45-65 %.**
**now we’re in the 90’s for high pt and isolated.**
**Where will we be next year?**
**Mike and Flera have a list of projects...see http://www-d0.fnal.gov/global_tracking/projects/active.html**

## Emergency Department Overcrowding and Ambulance Diversion

**Emergency Department Overcrowding and Ambulance Diversion**

**Robin M. Weinick, Ph.D.**
- Director, Intramural Research
- Center for Primary Care Research
- Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality

## What Is ED Overcrowding?

- Need for emergency services outstrips available resources
- More patients than staffed ED beds,  long wait times
- Patients typically treated and monitored in hallways
- Constrains ability to triage patients

## Measuring Overcrowding

- No established way to measure
- AHRQ is developing a set of measures
- Time from arrival to physician contact
- Number of patients being boarded
- Boarding time
- Time on ambulance diversion

## Ambulance Diversion

- Closed to ambulance traffic
- A symptom, not the primary problem
- Results in
- Increased ambulance cycle/response time
- More first-time patients
- Forced override
- Measured by number of hours on divert

## D->K/pi in Run4 by HardpDST

- Hua Pei
- Iowa State University

## Stripe_1 and 2 Data are Ready

- The code used to build HardpDST is now in CVS: offline/packages/HardpDST
- The files for Stripe_1 and 2 are on production disks
- Go to ‘**Run4 – Documentation**’ at Hard-Photon internal homepage, and you will find a brief introduction on using HardpDST (maintained by Hua Pei)
- A list of all files can be found on Run4 production page:
- http://www.phenix.bnl.gov/phenix/WWW/run/04/dataprod/Projects/Central_200/Central_200.html

## Code of the CabanaBoy

- Kazuya and Hua have developed a set of analysis code within CabanaBoy. It’s in CVS now: offline/AnalysisTrain/CabanaBoy/D0*
- It’s composed of 3 parts:
- D0Pool
- D0Cutter
- D0Histos

## D0Pool:
each event should mix with 18 neighbouring events (9 before and 9 after)

D0Cutter: 
vertexcut = 30.0; // 30 cm 		
kaonPIDcut = 3.0; // pidcut		 pionPIDcut = 3.0; // pidcut
kaonptcut = 0.3; // ptcut		 pionptcut = 0.3; // ptcut 
phiDCCut[0] = phiDCCut[2] = -2.0;	 phiDCCut[1] = phiDCCut[3] = 6.0; PC3MatchCut = 4.0; ZedCut = 75.0; pairZedCut = 0.2; pairphiDCCut = 0.08; pairdistPC1Cut = 10.0; pairdistPC3Cut = 15.0; 

D0Histos:
Invmass spectrum of K-/pi+ at same arms / opposite arms
Invmass vs. Pt (of D0) also at same arms / opposite arms

- each event should mix with 18 neighbouring events (9 before and 9 after)
- D0Cutter:
- vertexcut = 30.0; // 30 cm
- kaonPIDcut = 3.0; // pidcut		 pionPIDcut = 3.0; // pidcut
- kaonptcut = 0.3; // ptcut		 pionptcut = 0.3; // ptcut
- phiDCCut[0] = phiDCCut[2] = -2.0;	 phiDCCut[1] = phiDCCut[3] = 6.0; PC3MatchCut = 4.0; ZedCut = 75.0; pairZedCut = 0.2; pairphiDCCut = 0.08; pairdistPC1Cut = 10.0; pairdistPC3Cut = 15.0;
- D0Histos:
- Invmass spectrum of K-/pi+ at same arms / opposite arms
- Invmass vs. Pt (of D0) also at same arms / opposite arms

## Code are almost ready to run

- Currently, we use the macro at CVS:
- offline/AnalysisTrain/CabanaBoy/macros/analyze_D0.C
- We have isK and isPi in CNT or HardpDST. However, the calibration is not yet finished. I find m2 of TOF ready for Run4 200GeV, but isK or isPi are still using Run2 parameters.

- Polarimeter improvement
- for 110 bunches

- Evaluation of BRAHMS magnet effects

## Bunch intensities at the end of a store

- Problem with more than 56 bunches: strong loss dependence on bunch number.
- Possible sources: parasitic beam-beam, electron cloud (less probable).
- We may keep for a time being 56 bunch operation while evaluating this problem.

## Store orbit variation due to Brahms magnet polarity switch

- D1 magnet are kept now off on the ramp

## Update on Chemical and Isotopic Data for the Hanford 100 H Chromium Bioremediation Project

**Mark Conrad**

## Post-HRC Bromide Injection Tests

**August 5, 2004 - 12 L of KBr added to Well 45 (6 L into yellow line, 6 L into black line).  Pumping from Well 44 from August 5 through August 30.**
**June 7, 2005 - 12 L KBr (as above).  Pumping from Well 44 from June 7 through July 11.**
**April 10, 2006 - 12 L KBr (as above).  Pumping from Well 44 from April 10 through May 2.**

## Deep Injection Well Sulfate

## Deep Pumping Well Sulfate

## Deep 13C of DIC

## Deep Response

**Sulfate in Well 45 (injection well) drops to zero ~6 months after HRC injection.  Pumping from Well 44 draws in sulfate into injection well. **
**Sulfate in Well 44 decreases during pumping, but rebounds when pumping stops.**
**Carbon isotope ratios of DIC increases in both wells during pumping (reflecting biodegradation of ****13****C-labeled HRC), but decreases when pumping stops.**

## Shallow Injection Well Sulfate

## Shallow Pumping Well Sulfate

## Shallow 13C of DIC

## Shallow Response

**Sulfate drops to a lesser extent than in the deep intervals, but follows a similar pattern. **
**Nitrate in the shallow interval in Well 44 decreases to zero during pumping, but rebounds when pumping stops.**
**Carbon isotope ratios of DIC increase during pumping, but not as much as in the deeper intervals.**

## Major Legislative Changes:  Tech Prep Programs and Accountability

*Len Lintner and John Haigh*

## Topics to be Covered

- Fiscal provisions
- State plan requirements
- Accountability provisions

## Tech Prep --- Fiscal Provisions

**Options**
- Retention of Title II funds as Title II funds
- Fund consolidation
- Consolidate all Title II with Title I
- Consolidate a portion of Title II with Title I

## Tech Prep --- Fiscal Provisions

**Fund Consolidation Issues**
- Consolidated Title II funds are to be treated in accordance with section 112 requirements
- Consolidation to be described in state plan

## Tech Prep --- Fiscal Provisions

**Allocation of Title II funds**
- Fund consortia
- Use of a formula or a competitive process
- No funds for state leadership
- State and local administration --- “reasonable and necessary”

## Tech Prep --- State Plan Requirements

- State tech prep application --- Sec. 201(c)
- Tied to coordination with activities of the sec. 122 State plan
- Contains information as the Department may require

## Tech Prep --- State Plan Requirements

- Contents required of a tech prep program described in section 203(c)

- Each consortium must reach agreement with the eligible agency on performance levels for the core indicators in section 113(b) and 203(e)
- Special considerations
- Same as Perkins III
- Perkins  IV adds --- coordination and integration with Title I activities

## Tech Prep --- Accountability

- If a State maintains *all or a portion* of its Title II tech prep funds, then the ***State*** must report to the Department on the core indicators in section 113(b).
- If a State maintains *all or a portion* of its Title II tech prep funds, then the State’s ***consortia ***must report to the State on:
- Core indicators in section 113(b)

- Bryan Palaszewski
- working with the
- Digital Learning Network
- NASA Glenn Research Center

## Soyuz 11 (USSR)

- Launched: June 6, 1971
- Mission: First occupancy of a long duration space station
- On return to Earth on June 29, 1971, a valve accidentally opened, allowing the air to escape the spacecraft. The crew did not survive.

## Soyuz 11 (USSR) Results

- There were no flights of Russian  human crew until September 27, 1973.
- Many robotic test flights were conducted to assure safety.
- Spacecraft (Soyuz 12) was redesigned to carry 2 persons with spacesuits.
- Original (Soyuz 11) spacecraft was considered so safe that spacesuits were not required for the 3 cosmonauts.
