## Beamline Designer’s Perspective on Instrumentation

- a. For any primary beamline
- b. Specific to the NuMI line
- P. Lucas

## For Any Beamline Need:

- Positions
- See incident beam trajectory
- Understand steering of line
- Check for misaligned quadrupoles
- See effects of trims (requires that position monitors be located appropriately)

- Intensities
- Normalize Physics of experiment
- Provide check on accelerator statistics
- Respect safety envelope

- Losses - diagnose serious problems in
- Incident trajectory
- Polarity
- Steering
- Focusing

- Profiles
- Understand beamline optics
- Determine emittance and momentum spread
- See scraping from non-Gaussian profiles

- Targeting parameters
- Position
- Angle
- Spot size

## Also need, though non-beam related

- Kicker pulse shape and parameters
- Vacuum readings
- Magnet temperatures
- Tunnel environmental conditions

## NuMI Specific Requirements

- _Very_ sensitive to losses
- High beam intensity
- Smaller fractional losses matter
- Beam tails, at a level usually not observed, could matter
- For downstream parts of line, location in aquifer
- Need losses to be calibrated

- Need to be able to measure δp/p
- Vertical dispersion value of 20 meters makes us particularly sensitive
- Measure width at low and high dispersion points
- Not known whether there is a dependence on intensity

- Want beam-based inputs to permit system
- Similar in philosophy to e-berm
- Behaves like an abort in inhibiting future pulses
- Protects groundwater
- Guards against high residual activities

- Autotune to be integral to beamline operation
- Requires accurate and _reliable_ position information
- Must quantitatively understand effects of trims, quad steering included

- Details of primary beam targeting can affect the Physics of the experiment
- Affect near detector/far detector comparison

- Biphasic Motivational Effects of Nicotine in the
- Ventral Tegmental Area

## Questions

- What neuroanatomical and pharmacological systems mediate the biphasic motivational effects of nicotine?
- Can these systems be dissociated?
- Functional interactions?
- The role of Dopamine?

- Dopamine Blockade Does Not Affect Nicotine’s
- Discriminative Properties

## Nicotine’s Biphasic Motivational Effects in the VTA

- The Rewarding Effects of Acute Nicotine do Not Require Dopamine
- Dopamine is Necessary for the Acute Aversive Effects of Dopamine Demonstrated in Both the CPP and CTA Paradigms
- Mesolimbic Dopamine Blockade Potentiates Nicotine’s Rewarding Properties and Switches the Motivational Valence of Nicotine from Aversive to Rewarding

## Which Neural Circuits are Required for the Acute Nicotine Reward Signal?

- The Brainstem Pedunculopontine Nucleus (PPT) both sends and receives input from the VTA
- The PPT is Critical for the Acute Rewarding Effects of Various Stimuli Including Opiates, Food, Sucrose, Sex

## Summary

- Nicotine is unique in that the rewarding and aversive motivational properties can be dissociated on several levels
- We propose that the functional balance between these separate motivational pathways in the VTA may determine vulnerability to nicotine addiction in the acute stage
- We are now exploring how nicotine dependence and withdrawal may alter the functional interplay between these separate neural circuits
- Does nicotine dependence/withdrawal induce a motivational switching mechanism, similar to opiates, in the VTA?

## Using Self-Assembly of Block Copolymers to Arrange Nanoparticles on Surfaces

- Refs:* Chem. Mater* **2007**, 19, 745-754;  *Macromol*. In press

**Polymer nanocomposites** (PNCs) are greatly important in today’s world, tires, as well as for tomorrow’s high technology  applications, biological sensing.  PNCs are particularly important because they combine synergistic properties of disparate materials.  For example, the processability, transparency, and flexibility of polymers can be combined with semiconducting properties of nanoparticles (NPs) to create new nanoscale devices, such as transparent transistors for displays.

- The surface of a self-assembled block copolymer film decorated with silver NPs.   The light and dark stripes are 17nm wide and represent disparate    polymer blocks.  The light “dots” are the NPs situated on the light stripes.   The image is 2 m x 2 m.

**Using Self-Assembly of Block Copolymers to Arrange Nanoparticles on Surfaces**

- Cartoon of initial arrangement of NPs and bcp near the surface (**left**).  After         annealing, bcp near the surface reorganizes into parallel lamella with NPs            “tucked” one layer below the surface (**right**).  By adding a high concentration      of NPs, the initial structure (**left**) can be frozen and the NPs exposed.                      The _antimicrobial_ and _optical_ properties are under investigation.

- In this research program, PNC coatings have been prepared by a one-step process. Silver   nanoparticles (NPs) form and segregate to the surface during the self-assembly of a block  copolymer (bcp) without external intervention.  Although slowed by the NPs, the bcp         assembles into a nanoscale template of narrow stripes decorated by 17nm NPs. (right)

## Research Training:

-  14 undergraduates (4 REU)
-    7 PhD candidates (2 Awarded)
-    3 post-doctoral students
-    2 MS candidates (1 Awarded)
-    2 high school teachers (2 RET)
-    1 high school junior

**Broader Impact: Outreach, Education and Training**

- Using real world examples such as running shoes, the
- PI lectured to 40 **high school juniors** about polymers and
- their properties.  These students were participating in the
- summer PSSI program at the University of Pennsylvania.

**Max Kaulbach**, a junior at Germantown
- Friends School, designed and built a
- device for processing polymer coating
- with variable thickness (background)
- during January 2007 to satisfy his
- independent project requirement.

**Congressional Visit**

- To highlight materials science in K-12 education, the **House **
**Sci & Tech Committee** sponsored a showcase for House
- members (Raybourn Bld, March 2007).  The PI with Eric
- Werwa, legislative director with Congressman Honda.

## Washington, DC, Dec. 7th, 2005  

**The EU Data Protection Panel**
- Workshop - Safe Harbor Framework
-  Bridging Differences in Approaches to Data Protection
- Washington, DC, Dec.* *7th,* *2005
- Rosa Barcelo

## Overview

- The basics of the EU Panel
- The dynamic of the EU Panel
- Developments

**What is it? **
- Informal body competent for resolving complaints for alleged infringement of the Safe Harbor
- Complaints related to human resources data for alleged infringement of the Safe Harbor must be heard by the panel
- For other types of data,  harborites may decide that other ADRs will hear the complaints
- 30% of the harborites import human resources data

**The EU Panel: the Basics (I)**

**Who are the members?**
- Composed of 7 DPAs.  In 2005, the same DPAs confirmed their role as members of the panel (Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Finland, Ireland, Netherlands, United Kingdom)
- The Commission is the Secretariat of the Panel
- http://forum.europa.eu.int/Public/irc/secureida/safeharbor/home
**Financing of the EU Panel: **
- Harborites using panel must pay an annual fee of 50 USD (recently reduced)

**The EU Panel: the Basics (II)**

**Operating procedures:**
- Notion of «handling authority»
- Mostly working at a distance; meetings not excluded but exceptional
- Exchange of information through limited-access website
- Procedures to ensure the parties’ involvement
- Advice is delivered to ensure that the harborites comply with the “safe harbor” principles.  It may also include remedies, including financial compensation

**The Dynamics of the EU Panel (I)**

- Neither organisations nor individuals have ever referred complaints to the EU panel which has therefore never delivered any advice (*Commission’s report on SH Implementation Oct. 2005*)
**Causes:**
- Lack of general information at European and US levels about the existence of the EU panel
- Proposes various initiatives to raise awareness of the existence of the EU panel

**Developments (I)**

- Activities towards raising awareness:
-  Commission has posted on its website:
- 	http://europa.eu.int/comm/justice_home/fsj/privacy/thridcountries/index_en.htm
-  A document containing basic Information about the Panel
-  Standard complaint forms translated in all MS languages
-  Asked DPAs to link to such website

**Developments (II)**

## Slide 1

**Notes:**
Dependent Resurvey in California.  Although helpful at times, fence lines can not be depended upon to locate the true corner or boundary.

## Slide 2

**Notes:**
Recorded testimony of witnesses to aid in discerning the location of land boundaries.  Reliable testimony can be the only remaining evidence a surveyor may have to restore a survey.

## Slide 3

**Notes:**
The BLM is very interested in locating historical features such as gravesites. In this case a GPS Rover is used in locating features for representation on BLM survey plats.

## Slide 4

**Notes:**
Greg better be careful as I’m sure the cows don’t value his equipment as much as he does!  Observing the location of an existing corner found several inches below the surface. 

## Slide 5

**Notes:**
I’m sure the farm equipment didn’t even miss a beat as it disturbed this monument.  Inadvertent damage to survey features are costly mistakes.

## Slide 6

**Notes:**
Surveying on the Beach!  What could be better?  I’m sure that isn’t a bright shiny quarter Greg has just found.		

## Slide 7

**Notes:**
Surveying along the California coast.  No doubt this is a witness corner to a meander corner along the Pacific Ocean.

## Slide 8

**Notes:**
Scenic vistas, good clean air, and professional colleagues are all benefits of working for Cadastral Survey!

## Slide 9

**Notes:**
Sidewalk chalk art? No, more like a Standard Corner on a correction line.

## Slide 10

**Notes:**
“X” marks the spot!  Buried pirate treasure? More like a BO.  No it doesn’t stink it’s a bearing object.

## Slide 11

**Notes:**
The “Gang” getting ready to set a monument.  

## Slide 12

**Notes:**
Prior to 1910, surveyors marked their corners with stones, pits and wooden posts.  Here is the remnant portion of a wooden post used as a General Land Office (predecessor to the BLM) corner set in the original 1800s survey.  The post appears to be burnt on one end with something covering the burnt area.

## 10 minute repository talk

- Brian TingleCalifornia Digital LibraryMETS Opening Day
- Library of Congress2003/10/28

## Repository Features

- Persistent object identification
- XSLT transformation of METS
- Generic Dublin Core search of METS
- Customizable search results power multiple collections projects

## Object Assumptions

- Every object has a METS Document (/mets)
- Every object has an ARK (/mets/@OBJID)
- Every object has a profile (/mets/@PROFILE)

## PROFILE for profiles

- Every profile has a METS document matching the Identity Profile (ark:/13030/kt8s20152f)
- These METS use the METS_Profile schema for the dmdSec
- //file[@ID='toHTML'] = display xslt
- //file[@ID='toQDC'] = Dublin Core xslt
