## Training and Publications

## Wake Turbulence Information

***A great deal of information has been acquired over the past thirty years relating to the characteristics and***
***transport properties of wake turbulence***
***In order to ensure that this information is disseminated***
***to the widest possible audience including pilots and***
***air traffic controllers, two training aids have been developed***
***along with a centralized bibliography of publications***

***1. Wake Turbulence Training Aid Package***
***2. Wake Turbulence Computer-Based***
***    ******Training Package***
***3. Wake Turbulence Bibliography ***

## Training Aid Package

***The first package, the Wake Vortex Training Aid, comprises a compact disk, a video, and a***
***manual. This package can be used to acquaint***
***interested parties with wake vortex behavior***

***Wake Turbulence Information***

## Computer-Based Training Package

***Wake Turbulence Information***

***The second package, the Wake Vortex Computer-Based Training (CBT) package, approaches the subject in a more formal training environment. The approach is to test the level of knowledge the trainee possesses, then proceed with a tutorial on wake turbulence properties. The last step in the ***
***process is a test of the knowledge acquired***

##  butterfly milkweed Asclepias  tuberosa  L.Other common names; chigger weed, pleurisy root, butterfly weed, Indian post, Canada tuber, Canada flux, orangeroot, orange milkweed, whiteroot, windroot, yellow milkweed.

**Food:**
- The young shoots, stems, flower buds, immature fruits and roots were eaten raw, cooked, used to thicken soups or brewed into teas.
-  **Culturally:**
- Milkweeds supply tough fibers for making cords, ropes and for weaving a coarse cloth.  Moccasins were washed in a milkweed solution  for running strength.  Chemicals from milkweeds make the monarch caterpillar distasteful to predators.  Monarch butterflies eat only on milkweed plants.  This is the only type of plant on which the eggs are laid and the larvae will  feed.

## butterfly milkweed

- Pioneer doctors thought this plant was a cure for pleurisy.  They used it as an alterative, expectorant, diuretic, laxative, astringent, antirheumatic, promote blood coagulation, increase perspiration, and to relieve colic, griping and flatulence.
- Indians used it as a salve for scrofulous swelling, and rashes.  As a tea or soup it was taken as a diarrhea medicine, by  mothers to produce milk, for snow and other forms of blindness, sore throats, bronchial and pulmonary problems, pleurisy, rheumatism, stomachaches, intestinal pains, to expel tapeworms, treat colic, as a contraceptive, and to cure snakebite.  It was used as a wash on sore muscles.

- DREN, ONT2, 13 Sep 2005

## Context

- MPLS VPN over MCI’s vBNS+
- IP, ATM, VPLS over MPLS
- IPsec, IPv6, jumbo frame
- OC192 WAN
- 120 RDT&E sites, DS3 to OC48

- DREN, ONT2, 13 Sep 2005

**Notes:**
RFC2547bis “BGP MPLS VPN”

## Optical Services

- “Light Path” in existing contract with MCI
- Details and dates TBD
- Useful for linking optical testbeds (like GIG-EF) over the wide area
- May be applicable to large bulk flows
- Optical separation for security?

- DREN, ONT2, 13 Sep 2005

**Notes:**
When does our current contract expire?
Bulk flow example: PANSTARS

## Optical Technology

- Under the covers
- Ultra Long Haul (ULH)
- GMPLS
- G.709
- Visible to DREN?
- WDM for fiber bandwidth expansion

- DREN, ONT2, 13 Sep 2005

**Notes:**
Ultra Long Haul (ULH) in MCI core with ROADM and G.709, but what does that mean to DREN?

## Interoperability Issues

- Will have mostly IP / BGP interfaces to other networks
- “IP is not the problem”
- But L2 interoperability could be useful
- e.g. Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS)
- L1/ L2 solutions might help resource sharing between different nets

- DREN, ONT2, 13 Sep 2005

## Key Themes and Issues

- $$$
- We buy what we can afford
- Fast / Cheap / Secure – choose one
- Commercial services
- Share public infrastructure
- Offerings in this area are TBD
- QoS at L1 / L2

- DREN, ONT2, 13 Sep 2005

## Key Research

## NHIN / HISPC / SLHIE Joint Conference

***NHIN / HISPC / ******SLHIE****** Joint Conference***
**Technical and Security Capabilities for the NHIN** **1.2**
**Subject Discovery**
***4/30/08***
*Dallas, TX*
**Tony Mallia**

## Assumptions and Requirements

- There is no nationwide subject identity
- Subject Discovery
- Finds where the subject is known
- Establishes the subject identity (MRN) in each NHIE
- Document Query uses the result of Subject Discovery
- Document Query is based on XCA (HITSP TP13)
- Distributed Query uses identity in the target NHIE
- Two patterns of pro-activity are identified
- In-band – Discover the subject at query
- Out-of-band – Discover the subject way before query
- Both are supported by the specification
- Initiator defines which mode and responder must conform

## General Architecture (Out-of-band)

- Out-of-band protocol is HL7 Patient Id feed with no Application acknowledgements
- Response is reverse HL7 Patient Identity Feed
- Both NHIEs may perform the match

## General Architecture (In-band)

- Application acknowledgement made when processing complete
- Return response is nested inside responder processing
- Initiator knows when all responses are received and can continue (with query)

## Subject Discovery Behavior

- NHIE Algorithms for matching are different
- 9 Cases are specified
- 1 – Certain no match
- 2/3 – Certain Match
- 4/5 – Ambiguous Match
- 6 – Revoke subject
- 7 – Update subject demographics
- 8 – Merge subjects
- 9 – Unmerge subjects

## Strategies (not part of the specification)

- Persisting the subject identifiers
- Stored (in correlating MPI, PIX etc)
- Saved only in the thread
- In-Band / Out-of-band
- Purpose for Use (e.g. Emergency in-band)
- Trigger events no immediate query (fire and forget)
- Degree of dispersion
- Notify to a single directed NHIE (requires UI to support it)
- Notify to all (wide broadcast for patient safety concerns)
- Notify to immediate neighbors (normal referral pattern)
- Single or bulk announcements
- Single subject on opt-in
- Multiple subjects if new neighbor added to broadcast list
- Completeness of Health Record
- Records must be electronic
- EHR must be member of NHIE
- Permissions to share must be given
- Subject discovery must be successful

## Statistical Issues in NDA 21239 Laura Lu, Ph.DFDA/CDER

## Objective

**To present the results of adrenal function testing with Cortrosyn® (synthetic ACTH) stimulation following dosing of GL701 at a dose of 200 mg once daily for 28 days (Trial GL 96-02)**

## Trial GL 96-02 Objectives

**The objective of the trial was to assess the interaction between DHEA and prednisone from a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic perspective.**
**The Pharmacodynamic response to DHEA was assessed via adrenal function testing with Cortrosyn****® ****(synthetic ACTH) in the absence of prednisone. **

## Trial GL 96-02 Methods

**This was a Phase I crossover trial in 14 pre-menopausal healthy women to evaluate the effect of 28 days oral administration of GL701 200 mg/day on single dose pharmacokinetics of orally administered prednisone.**
**Cortisol response was also evaluated in this trial by administering 250 ********g of synthetic ACTH (Cortrosyn******** ****) as an IV bolus pre- and post 28 days following GL701 administration.**

## Plasma Cortisol Concentrations

**Normal adrenal function was defined by the applicant as having a plasma cortisol concentration ******** 200 ng/mL at 1 hour post ACTH injection.**

## Plasma Cortisol Concentrations

## Baseline Plasma Cortisol Concentrations Pre- and Post ACTH Stimulation

## Plasma Cortisol Concentrations Pre- and Post ACTH Stimulation following DHEA 

## Plasma Cortisol Concentrations Before ACTH Stimulation on Day 0 and Day 28

- Median
- 56 ng/mL

- Median
- 50 ng/mL

## Plasma Cortisol Concentrations After ACTH Stimulation on Day 0 and Day 28

- Median
- 216 ng/mL

- Median
- 236 ng/mL

## Conclusions

**The mean plasma cortisol concentrations following 28 days of DHEA were > 200 ng/mL in all but 3 subjects (who had levels of cortisol < 200 ng/mL at baseline following ACTH stimulation).**
**A small but statistically significant reduction in plasma cortisol concentrations was seen after 28 days of DHEA 200 mg/day.**
**These results raise the possibility that DHEA or one of its metabolites may have a mild glucocorticoid-like activity.  The long term impact of this effect is unknown.**

worsening is allowed

## New Climate Zones in the IECC 2004 Supplement2005 National WorkshopBuilding Energy Codes ProgramJune 28, 2005

- Z. Todd Taylor
*Pacific Northwest National Laboratory*

## Why Did DOE Change the Climate Basis?

- Old scheme:
- Code requirements varied continuously w/HDD
- No geo-politically defined zones (except as compliance tools)
- Required access to climate data for ***all*** locations
- Every house had potentially unique climatically-based requirements
- Compliance-oriented HDD zones were too numerous
- Cooling drivers were not accounted for
- Residential and commercial zones differed
- New scheme
- All boundaries on state/county lines
- Fewer overall zones
- Cooling and moisture directly considered
- No climate data required (in U.S.)
- Residential and commercial use the same zones

## Climate Zones—Before(Requirements varied continuously w/HDD)

- Dashed lines represent HDD-based
- zones – Note that ***no*** zone is
- homogenous

## Climate Zones—Before(Even county aggregations were difficult)

**Climate Zones—Before****(Even county aggregations were difficult)**

- Note large number of “boundaries” between the 19 unique zones—every boundary is a potential battle

## Climate Zones—After

## Note similarity of new zones to standard climate classifications

## Climate Zones—After

- 8 temp regions x 3 moisture regimes = 24 theoretical zones
- Only 17 actually occur in the U.S.
- Moisture regimes don’t apply to zones 7 & 8, so there are actually _15 unique zones in the U.S._
- Most code requirements don’t distinguish by moisture regime, so there are usually _8 zones to think about_
- Not all code requirements differ between all zones, leaving, in residential for example, _7 unique code-related zones_

## Mapping from HDD-based Zones to New Zones(each cell shows the number of cities)

- New Zone Number

- Old Zone Number

## Climate Zones – Final Thoughts

- New zones much easier to use
- New zones designed for code purposes—inadequate for design tools
- Others have embraced the new zones
- ASHRAE 90.2, 90.1
- Building America
- Energy Star
- International application requires access to climate data

## Enhancing Commodity Scalar Processors with Vector Components for Increased Scientific Productivity

## Vectors on Commodity Components

- Find the minimum set of vector-derived modifications to commodity micros to improve efficiency
- Deconstructing Vectors (segregate features of vector architecture)
- ISA, memory BW, addressing modes, vector regsisters
- Commodity market has focused on increasing peak flops with SIMD/Vector-like features
- High peak flops for little space on silicon, but hard to keep fed with operands
- Does not improve efficiency for scientific applications
- High end (IBM Power series) demonstrates that high memory bandwidth (in bytes/flop) is not an exclusive feature of vectors
- Efficient utilization of BW requires deep pipelining of memory requests (a natural ability for vectors register loads/stores)
- Required by Little’s Law (eg. Power5 requires 3k of requests)
- Shift focus from vector ISA (eg. SIMD) to vecregs & addressing modes
- Samples include ViVA-2, PERCS programmable cache, and IBM Cell processor

## Investigation

- Collect information on real DOE Scientific codes on Vector architectures
- Evaluate where deconstructed features of vector arch. Benefits these codes (and where it fails)
- Compare to results on microprocessors (particular interest in new processors that match vector Bytes/flop & Vector systems like X1e with lower bytes/flop than microprocessors)
- Develop parameterized architectural probes that mimic behavior of full codes
- Allows us to run on architectural simulators and test systems to assess impact of new vector-like architectural features on scientific codes
- Work with vendor partners to develop arch features more suited to improving efficiency of scientific applications
- Past work on Tera, ViRAM, IMAGINE, DIVA.
- ViVA-2, PERCS, Sun HERO, Impulse
- Move towards collaborations with industry to push science-driven advances in processor technology that can also leverage mainstream mass-market components  *(eg. IBM Power processor customization centers)*

- Contractual protection
- Technical controls and access
- Monitoring use and misuse of IP
- Enforcement

## IP Rights in China

- Patents
- Invention patent
- Utility model
- Design patent
- Trademarks
- Well-known marks
- Registered marks
- Copyrights
- Trade secret

## Contractual Protection of IP Rights

- Controls packaging or labels
- Requires that rejects be destroyed
- Prohibits diverted product and over production from getting in the marketplace
- Prohibits or limits subcontracting
- Addresses post-termination treatment of technology
- Allows for IP and technology audits
- Limits access to technology
- Binds employees and anyone with access
- Prohibits Chinese party from registering your IP rights

## Technical Controls and Access

- Make reverse engineering difficult
- Disclose only necessary information in technical specifications and manuals
- Pick your business partner and employees carefully
- Limit access to technology on need-to-know basis
- Don’t put all your eggs in one basket
- Compile source code in U.S.
- Keep design, supply, repair and maintenance of key components in U.S.

## Monitoring Use and Misuse of IP 

- Competitors and their products
- “Your own” products
- Your own employees
- IP rights registered by your competitors, customers and partners
- Your partners’ compliance with their legal obligations
- Know your customers, partners  and employees

## Enforcement

- Enforce your IP rights!!!!
- Courts
- Generally fair and efficient courts
- Competent judges
- Insufficient monetary damages
- Enforcement of court judgment
- Difficult to enforce court judgment against small companies and individuals
- Generally adequate enforcement against large companies

## ATLAS-SN-2003-024

- EPJ Direct, C: 32
- Suppl. 2 (2004) pp.19-54

- -- Detector Effects, Pile-up studies
- -- Channel-by-channel discussion

## General Properties

- Two quarks emitted in the forward region
- No color flow in the central part of the detector

- Require two forward (Tagging) jets and Veto extra jet Activity in the central region

## Forward Jet Distribution

- HWW 2l 2ν

## Jet Reconstruction Efficiency

- Probability to find a jet in a
- Cone of r=0.2 around a parton
- Note the calorimeter structure
- And the end of the detector

## The effect of Pile-up

- Energy released in the
- calorimeters from Minimum bias
- interactions
- Low luminosity = 1033 cm-2s-1
- High luminosity = 1034 cm-2s-1

## Fake Veto from Pile-up

- Events can be vetoed because
- Of a Jet from Minimum Bias
- Low luminosity = 1033 cm-2s-1
- High luminosity = 1034 cm-2s-1

## Fakes from Pile-up

## Comments on the IVB Signature

- Clearly depends on the Tagging and Veto performances. Last evaluation rather old (Summer ’01)
- Can we Identify jets in the Forward Region? (low signal/noise ratio)
- How well can we reconstruct low PT jets in the central region?
- The studies I showed assume a model for Minimum  Bias, as in Pythia 5.7, 4 years ago. Systematic can be >~ 2

## Higgs Decays

**LEP**

- WW and tau tau decays
- are the alternatives
- Tau can be searched in
- 2 lepton final state, and
- One lepton and one hadron

## HWW2 lep. decay

- _Main Backgrounds_
- Top production
- WW (electroweak production can be very similar to signal)
- Drell-Yan
- _Selection_
- Forward tagging
- Jet Veto
- Mll < 75GeV, ETmiss > 30GeV
- Tau rejection (Ztau tau)
- Lepton Symmetry
- Transverse mass

## Transverse Mass MT

- 160 GeV e/ Channel

- MT before the angular cut on the
- leptons

- _Define:_
-      MT<175GeV Signal region
-      MT>175GeV Background region

## Lepton Angular Correlation

- Signal Region				Background Region

## Higgs Mass Reconstruction

- S=1.02fb   B=2.28fb

- S=8.24fb   B=2.44fb

## Hττ

- Define x1 and x2 as the visible energy of the tau decay products
- Use collinear approximation and assume all decay products (including) neutrino in the same direction
- Mtt=mll/(x1x2)1/2

## Mass Reconstruction in the Tau Channel for 30 fb-1

- Di-Lepton Tau Decays		         Lepton-Hadron Tau decays

## Discovery Potentials

## Comments

- Finding the Higgs is a tough job...
- Possible with 10 fb-1?
- Depend on several channels exploiting different detector characteristics
- Still do not include NLO corrections
- Systematic from the minimum bias model used
- I didn’t show any neural network analysis
- The most “interesting” mass region is also the most difficult

## Group C Summary

*Session 3: Improving relationships at the federal level *

- Building the Regional Network:  Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Regional Coordination Workshop
- Nov. 7-9, 2006  Chicago, IL

## Priority Solutions 

- Inventories – what are the regions and what are the assets/components?
- Identify products and services on a regional basis – helps also with clarifying the regional identity
- Pilots – get some fraction of the system demonstrated and working and move them to the operational phase.  NOPP was originally designed to assemble funding for ocean priorities from the agencies.  Two things broken: 1.  priorities of IOOS may not be tied into NOPP BAAs and 2. NOPP focuses on research not operations – will need new mechanism to fund operational component (e.g. SBIR) that may involve a different suite of agencies
- National backbone stewardship – establish structure for routine regional engagement in process of definition and enhancement

## Priority Solutions cont.

- Interpretive education – interfacing with the public to communicate IOOS to the public, industry, users
- IOOS is oversold to the regions (users conferences, industry days, etc.)  Need to manage expectations for IOOS deployment.
- IWGOO federal agency representatives need to transmit information into their agencies – relevance of IOOS to their agencies’ missions and mandate
- Thematic products and services – common to regions – launch as initiatives on a year to year basis
