## Increasing Performance with More Effective Coordination

- Farbod N. Hagigi, MPH, Ph.D. Candidate

## Research Question

- Can organizations increase their
- performance by improving coordination?

## Coordination

- Managing dependencies between activities (Malone and Crowston 1994)
- Two views:
- Information processing: (Galbraith 1972; Tushman 1978; Argote 1982; March & Simon 1958)
- Relational: (Gittell 2002; 2003; 2004; 2005; Faraj 2006)

**Notes:**
Information processing: Focus on mechanisms and structures that help to transfer information between different providers and staff, or across a system of care.

Relational:
-Focus on interactions among participants rather than the mechanisms for supporting or replacing those interactions. 

-Role frequent, timely, accurate, and problem-solving communication plays as a mediator on different coordination mechanisms.

## Coordination

- Importance in health care:
- Fragmented providers and facilities
- Difficult because of complexities of service
- Poor coordination results in: (IOM 2001; Miranda 2002; Halm 2003; Gittell 2000, 2005; Young 1998; Strauss 1989)
- Low quality and efficiency
- Errors in medication and treatment
- Conflicting information

## Coordination & Performance

- Increased performance: (Granovetter 1985 ;Uzzi 1996)
- Trust
- Fine-grained information transfer
- Facilitate problem solving arrangements
- Mitigating cost/quality tradeoff with improved management practices

## Model

## Study Site

- 16 primary care clinics
- 3 hospitals
- Complex patient population
- Decentralized management of clinics
- EMR implementation

## Data

- Coordination Data:
- Coordination surveys (Gittell; Weinberg)
- Interviews
- Performance Data:
- Quality
- Costs
- Risk adjustment: demographic and health

## Coordination & Performance

- Chilingerian 2004

## Coordination & Performance

- Schmenner 1998

- Chilingerian 2004

## Broader Goals

- Understanding relative importance of underlying factors that impact performance, focusing on coordination as a key factor
- Using novel methodologies for performance measurement
- Theoretical contributions to coordination literature

## ALARA Philosophy (collimators and Long 3)

- General:
- Wait a week to start major work
- Go in early in the shutdown (maybe also before?) and map out exposure in hall area.  Indicate “loiter”/”no loiter” zones.  Possibly move shield wall near work area
- Minimize exposure for key personnel, particularly: Jim Lackey, Danny Douglas, Ben Ogert
- Wherever possible, use non-essential personnel (like me) to do actual hot work
- Collimator region
- Remove all beam pipes
- Place lead blankets over magnets and remaining beam elements prior to moving collimators into place
- Long 3
- Move old doglegs and septum to entry hallway
- Remove lower layers of steel shielding above work area (and possibly replace with new (cool) shielding.
- Place lead blankets over remaining beamline elements.

## Shut Down MiniBooNE Early??

- Suppressed zero

- One week

- Two weeks

- Not a huge effect.

## Powder diffractometers

- Two common designs
- Debye-Scherrer
- Position-sensitive detector -> high throughput
- Modest resolution
- Crystal analyzer
- Highest resolution
- Low systematic errors
- Slow!

## Analyzer mode

- Assume 17keV
- Angular stability is only important thing
- Typical powder peak is 0.01 – 0.001 degrees FWHM
- Average 0.005
- 10% -> 0.0005 = 8urad

## Energy stability

- dE/E = dD/D = alpha * dT
- SI(111) reflectivity width = 15urad @ 17keV
- 10% -> 1.5urad angular stability
- -> 10 degrees C temperature control of mono

## Area detector mode

- 10 x poorer resolution than analyzer mode
- Position is analog of angle
- Uses focused beam + area detector (100um resolution)
- 10% rule -> 10um in both directions.

## Semi-soft Response in Nematic Elastmers Tom C. Lubensky, University of Pennsylvania, DMR 0404670

- Elastomers (rubbers) are materials that can be reversibly stretched to more than twice their length without breaking.  Nematic liquid crystals are materials that flow like a liquid yet have an anisotropy axis like a crystal.  Nematic Elastomers (NE’s) combine the mechanical properties of rubber with the orienational properties of a nematic liquid crystal. NEs prepared with a preferred anisotropy direction ***n*** exhibit semi-soft elasticity characterized by an unusual plateau in the stress-strain curve on which very small stress increments produce large strain. We have determined the global conditions under which semi-soft behavior can occur as a function of temperature *r*, imposed anisotropy *h*, and external stress, *xx**.** *
- Ye, Fangfu: Mukhopadhyay, Ranjan; Stenull, Olaf ; and Lubensky, T. C.,  Semi-soft Nematic Elastomers and Nematics in Crossed Electric and Magnetic Fields, Phys. Rev. Lett. **98**, 147801/1-4 (2007)

- Global phase diagram showing the surface of continuous biaxial coexistence, *S**Y*, responsible for semi-soft behavior

## Soft Elasticity and Dynamics in SmC Elsatomers Tom C. Lubensky, University of Pennsylvania, DMR 0404670 

- Smectic elastomers are crosslinked layered structures. In SmA elastomers, rod-like mesogens attached to the polymer network align perpendicular to the layers.  When SmC elastomers transform to SmC elastomers, the mesogens develop a component parallel to the layers, and the sample shears as shown in Fig. 1, thereby breaking the rotational symmetry in the layer planes of the SmA phase.  All of the sheared states in Fig. 2 have the same energy, and they can be transformed one into the other with the application of vanishingly small forces.  The broken symmetry of the SmC phase gives rise to three types of sound waves with sound velocities that vanish along symmetry directions as shown in Fig. 3.

## ECHO

**ECHO**

**Optimizing Queries/ **
**Best Practices for Client Developers **
***Nathan Pollack***
***January 23, 2007***

## Agenda

**General best practices for running faster queries****	**
**Efficient Spatial Queries**
**Notes About Queries **
**Query/Present Performance**

## Best practices for running faster queries	

**Limit end user choices, lead them down a path rather than open everything**
**Search for collections first and limit the**** ****collection search**** ****by data center, spatially, temporal**
**Compare your search**** ****to Google or Amazon; you would not run a search on them for everything they have either**

## Efficient Spatial Queries

**If you are querying a single data**** ****provider, name the data**** ****provider in the query**
**If you are querying a single Collection, include the name of the Collection in the query as well**
**Smaller spatial regions query faster**
**Spatial regions with fewer points query faster**
**Spatial queries are CPU-intensive**

## Notes About Queries

**Queries that return large result sets take a long time to finish**
- Use limit on number of items returned
**Use HITS and not RESULTS when querying**
**Use TupleType to return only the necessary attributes when presenting data – ECHO defaults to all attributes**
**Return only what the user will see in the first present**
**Prefetch the next page of results while the user is examining the current page**

## More Notes on Queries

**Consider caching the results locally**
- Remember that you can use GetMetadata to do a “present” without having to query first
**Allow user to drill down on summary granule information to get full record resulting in a present of a single granule’s full metadata record**
**The goal is to move the least amount of data necessary to give the user a smooth experience**
**Presents are relatively low load on the system**

## Chemical Oxygen Generator

**Furnace Tests**

- International Aircraft Systems Fire Protection Working Group
- Atlantic City, NJ
- October 30-31, 2002

- David Blake
- FAA Technical Center
- Atlantic City Airport, NJ 08405
- Phone: 609-485-4525
- Email: dave.blake@faa.gov

## The testing was conducted at the request of RSPA.

- The purpose was to determine the temperature that would cause the self activation of oxygen generators and to recommend a maximum allowable exposure temperature.
- The recommended maximum exposure temperature would be used as the pass/fail criteria for protective packaging for generators to allow for their carriage in the cargo compartments of passenger carrying aircraft.

## 23 tests were conducted using generators from Scott and Puritan-Bennett.

- The minimum furnace temperature causing self activation was 600 oF.
- A literature search revealed a range of temperatures between 482 oF. and 572 oF. in which sodium chlorate and sodium chlorate/iron powder mixtures would start to decompose and liberate oxygen.

## Due to the uncertainty of the self activation temperature of primer caps or electrically activated ignition squibs in other generator designs not tested in this project and the literature data stating that decomposition could occur as low as 482 oF, a maximum exposure temperature of 400 oF is recommended.

- A report documenting the testing has been submitted for review and should be published shortly.

## Puerto Rico Strong Motion Program (PRSMP)

- José Martínez-Cruzado
- John Clinton
- Georgia Cua

## Aims

- Record motions ***on-scale*** from strongest earthquakes
- Provide **timely information** after an event (location, magnitude, [PRSN authoritative] shaking intensity patterns, raw records) to public, emergency management authorities, scientists, engineers
- Record motions from wide range of locations : isolated hard rock sites, representative soil sites in towns, critical infrastructure (tall buildings, bridges, dams), boreholes
- Conduct research with goal of enhancing seismic understanding and damage mitigation
- Reduce fatalities and economic loss resulting from earthquakes in Puerto Rico region

- History

- 1970’s  : initial strong motion sensors located around islands
- 1987     : existing analogue infrastructure handed over to UPRM Civil Engineering

- Current Infrastructure

- 20 standalone triaxial free-field/basement accelerometers (18-bit Kinemetrics ETNA)
- 47 triaxial free-field/basement accelerometers w/ dial-up communications to UPRM (18-bit Kinemetrics ETNA)
- 7 standalone multichannel accelerometers on structures (19-bit Kinemetrics K-2)
- 8 free-field triaxial free-field accelerometers with real-time communications (18-bit Kinemetrics ETNA)
- 8 free-field joint stations with PRSN (24-bit Kinemetrics EpiSensors)
- ANTELOPE software acquires data, detects/associates/locates events, archives data

## PRSMP Station Map

## Typical Stations:

- UPR Aguadilla - Continuous ETNA

- Hatillo Fire Station - Dialup ETNA

- Minillas Building -
- 15 channel standalone K2

- La Plata Dam
- 12 channel
- standalone K2

## Why Strong Motion alongside Broadband?

- Broadband sensors saturate at 1cm/s:

- Why Strong Motion alongside Broadband?

## Why Strong Motion alongside Broadband?

- Broadband sensors saturate at 1cm/s:

- For M8.3 Tokachi-Oki : all BB within 500km saturate, some up to 1000km (and sensors located in region of backwards directivity)

- Similar size event in North of PR (assuming similar event parameters,  wave attentuation) :
-               saturates all BB sensors in Dominican Republic,
-              PR, some in Haiti, Jamaica, Cuba - no magnitude
-              from local  networks!

## Antietam Trip – Lessons Learned

- Leadership-communication, clear roles and responsibilities, focus on the objective, knowing the terrain, taking responsibility, thinking it through and having a strategy
- Resources such as infrastructure, expertise, and experience make a difference
- Strategy and effective use can overcome lack of resources
- Resources without effective strategy will not win the day
- Flexibility, risk taking, individual performance makes a difference, give people credit for having done their best.
- Training, purposeful training, be flexible where you work, need to know your assetts and have a complete vision, can’t control what you can’t see, battle lead by the captain not the general, individual initiative and flexibility, taking opportunity.
- Approaching a problem from a different angle, take the time to regroup, create a new approach,communication is key, thinking outside the box
- When you have the momentum keep going
- Accountability, hold people accountable
- Provide Incentives
- Professor Reardon – targeted her communication
