## How big are Hard X-ray Sources----Really?

- Brian Dennis
- GSFC

## Objectives

- Determine real HXR source sizes
- Compare image reconstruction algorithms
- Establish objective procedures
- Analyze many flares
- Obtain source size distributions vs.
- Energy
- Flare intensity

## Motivation

**SCIENTIFIC**
- Thermal SXR source area  volume
- 	volume + EM  density
- 	density + T + filling factor  thermal energy
- HXR footpoint area + spectrum  electron flux density
- Footpoint asymmetry  magnetic field asymmetry
**INSTRUMENTAL**
- Refine RHESSI imaging capabilities
- Establish requirements for future HXR imagers:
- STIX on Solar Orbiter
- XRI on Solar Sentinels

## METHOD FOR  DETERMINING

- SIZES, POSITIONS & FLUXES
- Thanks to Ed Schmahl

- RHESSI WORKSHOP, MEUDON, 2006 APRIL 5-8

-  Don't use  CLEAN OR MEM or PIXON
-  Use FORWARD FIT with VISIBILITIES
-  REASONS:    Old algorithms don't weight size sensitivity properly    Better to find the closest fit to the calibrated visibilities      of a specific model (e.g. Gaussians + albedo)
-   Select energy and time range with good S/N
-   Compute visibility using SSW tools
-   Run vis_fwdfit with 8-10 parameters

## WHAT DOES VIS_FWDFIT DO?

- Detectors 1 – 9 above ~25 keV
- Natural weighting, test factor = 1, 2 or ∞
- Uniform weighting for compact sources
- Use “media mode” - don’t add residuals
- Use Pixon for extended sources

- Use VIS_FF
- Only if one or two clear compact sources
- Use elliptical sources
- Check chi-squared values for each detector
- Include albedo
- Investigate poor fits to detector 1 & 2 visibilities

- Make data broadly discoverable, accessible and understandable to authorized planned and unanticipated users – including U.S. government, partner nations, non-government and commercial partners
- Improve data access/use - support “many-to-many” exchanges
- Shift emphasis for standardization to collaborative groups of users who exchange information in pursuit of shared goals, interests, missions, or business processes  (e.g. Communities of Interest)
**           ****EMPOWERING USERS THROUGH ACCESS TO DATA**

## Department of Defense – Key Activities

**Creating Information Assurance for a net-centric**
**environment**
- Secure the data and the network - enhance perimeter protection with on-going, persistent monitoring and detection
- Implement strong authentication
- Enable role-based access to data and resources
- Facilitate collaboration with partners – U.S. and coalition, public and private
-                        **MOVE FROM “NEED TO KNOW” **

## Potential Water Resource Monitoring Indices

- Kwabena Asante & Gabriel Senay
- USGS EROS / FEWS NET
- Sioux Falls, SD 57198

**U.S. Department of the Interior**
**U.S. Geological Survey**

## GeoSFM Challenges 

- Conversion between raster GIS grids and text files makes data management more difficult, particularly as number of basins get larger
- Display of interactive hydrographs  requires a live IMS connection which has been difficult to maintain
- Getting absolute flow values correct without local calibration has been difficult

## Flow Routing using River Network

- Catchment delineated around the river network
- Flow routed within catchments to catchment outlet
- Flow goes along river network to from outlet to outlet

## Impacts on Routing

- Flow must be routed through even tiny river reaches
- A new record is generated for each river reach each time step
- Results in a large time series matrix which is difficult to manipulate

## Flow Time to Basin Outlet

- Time for water to travel from a given location to the basin outlet
- Computed from elevation derived flow length and velocity

## Bands of Daily Travel Time 

- Travel time to the basin outlet discretized into daily intervals
- Flow time between two areas along same river can also be estimated

## Identify River Exit Points for Time Zones

- Identify points at which river exits daily travel time zones
- Delineate catchments associated with these exit point

## Travel Time Based Catchments

- Water takes exactly one day to travel between the travel time-based catchments
- Hence we can directly propagate daily runoff generated in a catchment to the next downstream catchment

- Travel Time
- Based Catchments

- Sample Daily Runoff Grid

## Daily Runoff Grids

- An existing operational product

## Event Monitoring with Daily Runoff 

- Doesn’t track what happens to the excess runoff

## Flow Event Monitoring with Proposed Grid-based Routing

## Comparison of Grid-based Model with GeoSFM

## Comparison of Grid-based Model with GeoSFM

## Annual Maximum Flows

- 1998

- 2000

- 2002

## Median of Annual Max Flows

## Sample Daily Flood Hazard Indices

- Flow in absolute terms

- Flood Hazard Index as a % of median annual flow

## Sample Output: Daily Flows or Storage

- A climatology is being computed. It will enable anomalies to be presented relative to median of peak flows (1998 – 2005).

## Conclusions

- A new daily flood hazard index (FHI) product is being created to simulate the movement of flow from daily runoff grids.
- Flood Hazard Index (FHI) is will be presented as a percentage of median annual flood peak, and will be useful for identifying the location and relative magnitude of flood hazards.
- Low daily flows do not necessarily indicate hydrologic drought as subsurface runoff yield is not being simulated.
- The product could be operational within the next couple of weeks if it meets with your approval.

## Green Roofs and the Urban Heat Island Effect

**Jason Jayanty**
**Dr. Stuart Gaffin**
**Dr. Cynthia Rosenzweig**

## What Are Green Roofs?

**Green Roofs are roofs covered by vegetation**
**Two types of Green Roofs**
**Intensive – Heavy, expensive; capable of supporting large plants**
**Extensive – Light-weight patches of shrubbery**
**Green Roofs are advantageous for**
**Keeping buildings cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter**
**Protecting a city from combined sewage overflow during storms**
**Extend the life of a roof**

## Extensive Green Roof

## Intensive Green Roof

**(photo by Don Carlson, Carlson Architects)**

## The Urban Heat Island Effect

**The Urban Heat Island Effect refers to the fact that cities can be up to 5-7****o**** C**** hotter than the surrounding rural areas**
**This usually happens because...**
**Anthropogenic heat (Man-Made)**
**Concrete can absorb a lot of heat**
**Tall buildings increase overall surface area for heat absorption**
**Urban Canyon effect**

**Notes:**
Example – Anthropogenic heat is AC’s, Cars, etc.
Example – The Empire State Building’s wall area is 40x its base area

## Why New York City?

- New York City has 5 times the area of Central Park in roof space (Gaffin et al, 2004)
- If even half of these roofs were made green, It would have significant environmental effects. (Rosenzweig et al, 2005)

## My Objective

- My objective is to confirm LANDSAT surface temperature data at key sites of interest around New York City.
- Measure differences between green roofs and black roofs
- Measure how quickly surfaces heat up in New York

## Observations for July 11, 2005

| Observation Site | Consistent with Photo | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | No | Possible that the roofs that we couldn’t see hold a lot of heat |
| 2 | Yes | A great deal of vegetation, high tree cover |
| 3 | No | Unknown.  Satellite may have been wrong. |
| 4 | Yes | Amount of rocks may have counteracted the vegetation’s effects |
| 5 | No | There was a row of trimmed trees here, and thus without vegetation, heat levels will rise |
| 6a | Yes | Vegetation has an obvious effect on the temperatures here |
| 6b | Yes | Some shade and vegetation, similar to 6a, but on a lesser scale |
| 7 | Yes | highly reflective surfaces and high heat-absorptions of surfaces make this area cool in the day. |

## MNM Fatal 2005-13

- Powered Haulage
- May 31, 2005 (Kentucky)
- Limestone Mine
- Truck Driver
- 55 years old
- One year, six months mining experience

## Overview

- The victim was riding in the passenger seat of a haul truck while task training a newly hired miner. The trainee lost control of the truck and traveled through the roadway berm. The truck fell 70 feet to the lower level and landed on its top. The trainee, who was wearing his seat belt, was hospitalized overnight for treatment of his injuries. The victim was not wearing his seat belt.

## Slide 3

## Why Did Accident Occur?

- The accident occurred because the task training
- procedures for the newly hired miner were
- inadequate and did not ensure that he could safely
- operate the haul truck.  The trainee operator had
- no previous experience operating heavy
- equipment.  He had not completed his 40 hour
- new miner training before being assigned work
- duties.  The operator’s manual for the haul truck
- and other written procedures were available but were not
- used for task training.

## Causal Factor

- Policies, procedures, and controls were inadequate and failed to ensure
- that employees received training in the health and safety aspects and
- safe work procedures related to operating mobile equipment.  The
- new miner being trained did not maintain control of the equipment he
- was operating.  Task training at this mine was inadequate because the
- new miner, who was driving the haul truck, had no previous experience
- operating mobile equipment.  The operator’s manual was not part of
- the task training.  There were no records indicating that the miner,
- who was providing the task training, had received any task training on
- the operation of this model haul truck.

## Best Practices

- Ensure that new miners receive Task Training and demonstrate proficiency in all phases of mobile equipment operation at places where production is not the primary objective. Classroom training that includes a through review of the Operator's Manual should be provided prior to operating mobile equipment.
- Ensure that experienced miners who administer Task Training are knowledgeable of all safety requirements, proficient in the safe operation of the equipment, and utilize all the required personal protective equipment.

## Best Practices

- Exercise caution and operate mobile equipment in the appropriate gear at speeds consistent with conditions of the roadway and the experience level of the trainee.
- Ensure adequate pre-operational checks are conducted and the service brakes are properly maintained and will stop and hold the mobile equipment prior to operating it.

## “Mitigation” (in the broad-based sense)

- If pre-construction not possible, push for _>_ 2 yrs. post-construction monitoring (both mortality and bird/bat behavior).  Allow FWS to peer-review protocols.
- Temporary turbine shutdown.  In theory, good idea, however need to deal w/ operational issues – *e.g., *gear loading, gear mesh damage, bearing freeze.  Turbine designed automatically shut down at certain max. rpm, however blades “feathered,” still able to move.  Industry working to completely shut down blades.  Appears make little/no difference for bats since strike non-moving blades and nacelles.
- Move turbines.  Recommendation at Altamont, also in MD regulation.  Expensive.  Better to do right at outset.
- -1-

## “Mitigation,” cont.

- Technological changes
- Continue testing blade coloring/painting/opposing color patterns.  Further address Hodo’s “smear effect.”
- Larger blades mean slower rpm’s, but tip speeds 160-170 mph at max.  Larger blade means greater length, increased surface area, higher/greater rotor-swept area.
- Logistically, land-based turbines will probably not exceed _+_ 525 ft. rotor-swept area.  Offshore likely exceed 600 ft.
- Successes
- Downsize wind farm Galveston Is. from 36 proposed to 6, planned to install industrial park, raise rotor-swept area reduce risk Brown Pelicans.  Project not yet initiated.
- Consultants w/ WEST and EDM Internatl. using FWS guidance.
- FPL, AWEA, FWS conducting bat collaborative WV.
-  Non-successes (but not yet failures)
- Chautauqua, NY –  proposed site is “reference area.”
- Horicon NWR Forward Wind project.

- Inverse model with Shawn’s software

- Gravity forward model with Shawn’s software

## Interpretation and Conclusion

- Using Gravity Forward modeling (with 2 different softwares) and inversion method, all the final models converge on the same interpretation:
- (assuming that the density contrast is correct)
- Presence of a feature between 2 and 4 km along the line: this feature can be interpreted as an intrusion which may be caused by faulting
- The crustal block slopes down to the North-West, reaching a depth of 4km
- The magnetic model shows high values on the North west side of the profile (with a constant density) located in the upper block (volcanic or magmatic sediments?)

- Gravity and Magnetic need to be correlated with other method such as Seismic or Electromagnetic

## Synthesis of Engineered Particulates Using Dry Particle Coating

- By Nick van Nispen

## Engineered Particulates

- Powder materials designed to have specific properties are called *Engineered *or *Designed Particulates*
- Three Types
- Coated particles (discrete and film coatings
- Designer particles having a specific size, shape or morphology
- Composite particles (nano-composites, granulated particles)
- Our research focuses on the formation/synthesis of coated particles using new and innovative techniques

## Engineered Particulates

- The coating of individual particles with other, smaller particles is commonly carried out to improve the characteristics of particles
- Wet Particle Coating
- Dry Particle Coating

## Applications

- Nanoparticulates are widely used in industry
- Cosmetics
- Dyestuff
- Toner
- Pharmaceuticals
- Food
- Ceramics
- Powder
- Biochemical
- Electromaterials
- Fertilizer

## Applications

- Particle Coating can change the properties of target particles
- Flowability
- Dispersibility
- Wettability
- Coloring
- Falvor
- Hydrophilic/Hydrophobic Properties
- Electristatic/Electric/Magnetic/Optical Characteristics
- Particle Size Distribution
- Shape/Sphericity
- Solid Phase Reactivity

## Wet Particle Coating

- Currently Industrial Standard for nanoparticle coating
- Drawbacks
- WPC solution may be volatile and toxic
- Requires post treatment and waste processing  increases cost

## Dry Particle Coating

- Advantages to WPC
- new particles may have completely different functionality or much improved properties
- much reduced use of high-priced or rare materials
- Process is environmentally clean
- Water soluble powders can now be coated without compromising the sample

## Dry Particle Coating

## Dry Particle Coating

- Dry Particle Coating Equipment
- Mechanofusion
- Hybridizer
- Magnetic Assisted Impactation Coating

## Mechanofusion

## Hybridizer

## MAIC

## Examples

- Cornstarch

- CS coated with TiO2

## Examples

- Processing Time – 5 Mins

- Processing Time – 10 Mins

- Surface Morphology of Cellulose/TiO2 at different processing times

## Examples

## Current Research at NJIT

- Coating Particles using various coating techniques to create host/guest blends
- Cornstarch/TiO2
- Pure Al/R972
- After Processing, nanoparticulates are processed again together to discover if guest particle exchange still occurs after coating
- To be analzyed using EDX and SEM imaging
