- September 13, 2006

## Water isotopes as tracers of Convection

- HDO condenses more readily than H2O
- Rainout leads to HDO depletion
- Ice injection can make the stratosphere “Heavy”
*In situ* water isotope measurements can offer a tracer for the condensation history of air parcels

- D = 1000 ( HDO/H2O/SMOW – 1)

## In situ profiles of D indicate convective input

- Observations are the descents into San Jose, Costa Rica during CR_AVE: 20060130, 20060201, 20060206, 20060207, 20060209

**Convective**
**Injection**

## Possible Hydration pathways

- Use H2O and H2O isotopes observations identify:
**Convection in the mid-latitude overworld**
**Convection into the tropical stratosphere**
- Convection into the TTL

## Storm Track July 7, 2005

## Overworld stratosphere water vapor

## Water isotope values resulting from simple mixing

- _Rough calculation_
- Tropical source: 4 ppm @ -650 per mil
- Convected source: 2 ppm @ -210 per mil
- D = 4/6(-650 per mil) + 2/6(-210 per mil)
- D = -500 per mil
*Observed:*
- D = -460 per mil
- Convection is a significant source of water vapor in the overworld stratosphere (... in July ...over Houston ...)

**6 ppmv**
******D = -500 per mil**

## ATMOS tropical profiles

- Kuang et al., *GRL,* 2003.

**In situ tropical profiles**

- In situ profiles show more variability and higher stratospheric D.  Above 16 km the differences are within the uncertainties, but this is still an important  issue to resolve. De is a major uncertainty.

## MLS data show H2O maxima over convectively active areas

- Average H2O at  = 380 K for July 2005.  Simulated data are colored, observations from MLS are shown as contours. Method from *Dessler and Sherwood, JGR,* 2004

## In situ observations Convective influence in the middleworld stratosphere

**In situ observations Convective influence in the middleworld stratosphere**

## Geographic and seasonal variability of convective influence on water isotopes

- Modeled water isotope depletion on the 380 K surface. De = -650 per mil, Dc (ice + vapor) = -280 per mil. The model is from *Dessler and Sherwood, JGR 2004.*

- Longitude

- Latitude

- D (‰)

## Hydration pathways

- H2O and H2O isotopes observations identify:
- Ice lofting and convective outflow above 380 K and up to 420 K
- Ice lofting into the tropical stratosphere
- Convective influence in the TTL

**Thanks to: NASA Upper Atmospheric Research, AURA Validation, NASA IIP, NASA WB-57**

- The isotopically heavy  stratosphere indicates that the sum of 1 – 3 is significant.
- The relative contribution of each is not yet determined.

## VxWorks Support

- Steve Foulkes
- (CD/CEPA/OAA)

## Project  Drivers  & Scope

- Perform duties of liaison to WindRiver Systems for the laboratory and users
- Coordinate laboratory wide licensing maintenance and renewal
- TSR filing and tracking
- Correspondence between the laboratory and WindRiver
- Provide laboratory wide support and consultation on VxWorks and related issues for multiple versions
- Handle general queries on usage, development
- Investigate problem reports and work with users and WindRiver as appropriate
- Evaluate new versions of VxWorks for use
- Maintain local documentation on VxWorks

## Project Deliverables Status

- Laboratory wide license renewal and maintenance of licensing status
- 3 ELM Licenses, good for a year, expire in September.
- 500 Production licenses, 300 for AD and 200 for CD
- Support for multiple versions of VxWorks and Hardware combinations
- Currently support 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 6.1 on fndaut
- Most Motorola PPC Boards (162, 167, 230x, 24xx, 260x, 5500, 6100)
- Evaluate VxWorks 6.1 tools and deploy to users interested
- Currently installed on fndaut and nova
- The only issue encountered so far is the lack of support for older boards (MVME230x, MVME162, MVME167)

## Project  Milestones

- License renewal is an ongoing activity that generally is confined to once a year.
- General support and consultation is on an as needed basis and is intermittent throughout the year. There can be correlation with other accelerator or experiment based activities.
- VxWorks 6.1 tools evaluation was a one time activity with a tentative milestone of March 2006.
- Built kernels and boot loaders for the 5500 and 2400
- Wrote example programs to test out new features: real time processes and persistent logging.  Encountered some small problems.

## Effort Profile VxWorks Support

- 1 Employee for liaison and support activities

## Risks

- Legacy hardware and/or VxWorks versions is a potential risk in terms of effort and supportability.
- Support for new versions and hardware combinations at least temporarily increase support load and could impact other ongoing support.
- New activities or users pose a risk of increased support load.
- Changes in licensing costs or terms could have laboratory wide impact.

- Grounded

## Summary

- The electrostatic center is the most susceptible location of a photocathode to be damaged in conventional (cylindrical symmetric) DC guns.
- Although electron gun vacuum and design continues to improve the bombarding ion contribution of the beam line can be (likely is) significant.
- Positively biasing the DC gun anode successfully limited ion damage at the “EC”, increasing photocathode lifetime there and improving QE uniformity.
- Biased anode has implication for other DC gun designs, e.g., where spot size is large or uniformity critical.

## ANDA Bioequivalence Studies That Fail to Meet FDA’s Current Bioequivalence Criteria

- Dale P. Conner, Pharm.D.
- Division of Bioequivalence
- Office of Generic Drugs
- OPS, CDER, FDA

## Introduction -- BE Studies

- Usually two-way crossover, single-dose study
- Normal volunteers
- Fasting
- BE criteria: 90% CI between 80 and 125%
- AUC
- Cmax
- Fed (point-estimate between 80 and 125)

## Examples of BE Results

## Introduction

- Definition of “failed”
- Sponsors often choose not to submit “failed” studies in ANDAs
- Sometimes these contain important information on the to-be-marketed ANDA product

## Background

- For NDAs all human investigations made to show whether or not such drug is safe for use and whether such drug is effective must be submitted (F.D.&C. 505 (b)(1)(A))
- For ANDAs (F.D.&C. 505 (j)) similar language was not included in the Act
- Sponsors have interpreted this to mean that “failed” BE studies need not be submitted in ANDAs

## Background

- Other important considerations
- Application may not contain untrue statements of material fact (F.D.&C. 505(j) (3) (K); 21 CFR 314.127 (a) (13))
- Selective reporting of data may constitute untrue statements of material fact (example FR 32982 June 26,1995)
- Failure to report failed studies may be considered selective reporting

## Reasons for “Failure” of BE Studies

- Under-powered study
- Unusual study designs
- “Outlier” response from one or more subjects
- Assay issues
- Wrong reference

## Reasons for “Failure” of BE Studies

- Baseline-corrected vs. not corrected
- Incorrect statistical analysis
- Compliance issues
- Formulation that is not truly bioequivalent to the reference

## Example 1 - Drug X Oral Liquid

- Liquid dosage form mixed with beverage prior to administration
- ANDA studies performed with one beverage
- Additional study in another beverage completed before ANDA approval
- Product was not bioequivalent under this labeled administration condition
- Study was not submitted before ANDA was approved

## Example 2 - Drug Y Solid Oral MR 

- Discovered by Compliance on inspection of another study
- First study against a lot (A) of brand product failed -- Cmax (105, 130)
- Second study against another lot (B) of brand passed (submitted in ANDA)
- Third study performed testing lot A vs. lot B -- failed: Cmax (111, 131)
- Problem with RLD

## Example 3 “Outlier” Response Example

- Solid oral dosage form
- Standard BE study with 24 normal subjects
- One subject’s T/R was ~4
- Point-estimate of other subjects T/R ~1.1
- Study did not pass CI criteria with all subjects
- Restudy of subject with 4 other original subjects
- Subject’s new T/R = 1.05  ==> subject data dropped from original study

## Questions

- Should sponsors submit the results of all BE studies performed on the to-be-marketed ANDA formulation?
- Full reports or complete summaries?
- What should FDA do with this information?
- Complete review
- Brief, but careful, examination

## CPL 2-2.67Brass and Bronze Ingot Manufacturing Industry (BBIM)

*Compliance Requirements and Dates Under the Lead Standard *
*(29 CFR 1910.1025)*

## History

- November 1978 - Lead Standard (29 CFR 1910.1025) promulgated with PEL of 50 micrograms/m3
- After challenges by industry and labor, the Court of Appeals affirmed feasibility for 10 industries; ordered reconsideration for 38 industries
- December 1981 - OSHA submitted   determination of feasibility for all but 9 industries

## History (cont’d)

- March 1987 - Court of Appeals remanded the 9 industries for further consideration
- July 1989 - OSHA submitted feasibility for 8 of the 9 industries; also for large but not small nonferrous foundries; 6 industries challenged findings
- January 1990 - OSHA determined feasibility of meeting 75 micrograms/m3 for small nonferrous foundries

## History (cont’d)

- July 1991 - Court upheld OSHA’s determination for all but brass and bronze ingot manufacturing industry (BBIM)
- OSHA concluded 8-hour TWA of 75 micrograms/m3 economically feasible for BBIM except for briquetting and baghouse maintenance operations

## History (cont’d)

- July 1995 - Settlement with BBIM and Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI)
- Court of Appeals stay on the application to BBIM is not yet lifted (as of 2-97)

## Current Compliance for BBIM	

- Compliance required for all provisions of Lead Standard

## Current Compliance (cont’d)

- Compliance with 8-hour TWA of 200 micrograms/m3 must be achieved only by
- Engineering controls
- Work practice controls

## Compliance in Years 1-6 After Judicial Stay is Lifted

- Where PEL is not achieved solely by means of engineering and work practice controls, employer must provide interim and/or supplemental respiratory protection
- Until an 8-hour TWA exposure of 75 micrograms/m3 is achieved, employer must submit to BBIM and/or ISRI air lead and blood lead monitoring data

## Compliance in Years 1-6 (cont’d)

- By end of year 1, employers with air TWA’s above 75 micrograms/m3 must
- Conduct an IH evaluation

## 200 Run2 papers

- Authorship Committee Perspective

## Do’s and Don’ts

- Do: be entertaining
- Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of funny stories that the authorship committee runs into.

## Do’s and Don’ts

- Don’t: tell horror stories
- Not even the one about the person who had been on the experiment for five years, but had never been proposed for authorship, UNTIL he *HAD* to be added in two days before a paper was submitted. (Got him added too! For *that* paper and later as a full author.)
- Nor the one about the student who was about to get his PhD, had done only a few shifts and couldn’t understand why he wasn’t yet an author.
- Or the one about the above student’s adviser who couldn’t figure it out either.

## So what?

## Present Study Strategy

- Integrate 225 pb-1 by August 25, 2003
- Parasitic Studies
- Affect stacking timeline only
-  Studies permitted only when stack reaches > 80% (120mA) of target value (160 mA)
- Study cycles can only occupy 20% of stacking timeline
- Priorities
- Run II short term
- Run II long term
- NUMI
- Switchyard 120
- Exceptions
- Study cycles that can fit in between stacking cycles
- Maintenance studies (Pbar stacking)
- Recycler one-shots

## Present Study Strategy

- TEV Studies
- 4 hours every other store
- Focused studies
- New high energy ramp helix
- Injection lattice matching
- Lattice measurements
- Emittance characterization
- Maintain at least 70 hours of stores per week
- Dedicated Pbar Studies
- On hold

## FY04 Parasitic Study Strategy

- Recycler “Pbar Tax”
- 25% of the Pbar stacking time line will go to Recycler commissioning
- Uses of the tax
- MI Access time
- Proton events
- Pbar transfers
- Present 80% Stack size / 20% Time-line strategy
- Stack Size target will be reduce from 160 mA to 130 mA because of the Recycler Pbar Tax.
- Studies would start at stack sizes of 105 mA

## FY04 Dedicated Study Strategy

- A study period would begin only if the previous 14 days contained 140 hours of store time.

## FY04 Dedicated Study Strategy

- Study periods would occur twice a week.
- Study periods will be short (8-12 hours)
- There would be at least two stores between each study period.
- Pbar studies would occur 16 hours ahead of TEV studies.
- This would allow for 16 hours of stacking by the time the TEV is finished with studies.
- We would try to engineer store lengths so that studies would begin at predictable times
- Pbar Studies would aim at starting at 4pm on Monday and Thursday
- TEV Studies would aim at starting at 8am on Tuesday and Friday

## FY04 Dedicated Study Strategy

- Studies would be blocked according to themes.
- We would only focus on few problems at a time, for example:
- TEV injection lattice mismatch
- TEV High energy ramp helix
- At the end of the study block (or theme) a short write-up (TEV Note or Pbar Note) describing the results of the studies would be expected.
- Maintenance  studies would occur at the discretion of the Run Coordinator.
- i.e. TEV orbit smoothing
- or Pbar cooling phasing

## Conflict Resolution

**Avoiding**  -  Not addressing the conflict, or postponing  (**lose-lose**)
**Accommodating**-  Neglecting own concerns to satisfy concerns of others
- 		(**lose-win**)
**Competing** - 	Power oriented, pursuing own concerns at the expense of
- 		 others (**win- lose**)
**Compromising** – Middle ground; settling for half of what you want
- 		(**1 + 1 =1.5**)
**Collaborating** – Two good ideas, when blended, produce a result better
- 		than the original individual ideas (**1 + 1 = 3**)  (**win- win**)

## Some things observed when starting 12 Planet:

- Allow at least 3 weeks for collaboration to become effective
- Do not put blocks in but use timing instead. Remember as you create Grid forecast keep in mind that the grids are used for
- Graphics
- Point and click forecasts
- Animation
- Forecasters are afraid to go to extremes
- HPC discussion in chatroom at 12Z
- View ISC grids from start.  Don’t wait until the end to use ISC

## Look at breakpoints especially when collaborating POPs and 

- Cloud Cover. 	If different, then look in between for differences.
- Concentrate on days 1 to 3.  Days 4 through 7 should only be changed
- when really necessary.
- “Give me a reason to change”
- Nudging vs. new forecast
- Geopolitical boundary forecasts = not thinking gradients but absolutes.
- Don’t do the forecast and leave, stay in the chat room
- Avoid wheeling and dealing

## Potential problems: 

- Local models
- Collaborating and changing first 6 hours.
- 	If you are updating, send a chat message before, not
- 	after changes
- You are responsible for discrepancies, not just your forecast
- Don’t just say I’d like to change, give reasoning but not a novel
-  or dissertation
- HPC is monitoring, you can chat with them
- If you are running late, say so
- During the shift briefing, include strategy of grids

**Notes:**
I’m here to give a very quick summary of a document STAPPA/ALAPCO is putting together to help states and localities in designing strategies to reduce emissions of PM2.5 and PM2.5 precursors.  It’s called a “menu of options” because it’s just that: a menu you can pick and choose from, depending on what sources are in your area and what reductions you need.
It will cover

## PM2.5 Menu of Options - Example

- Mobile Sources - Diesel Retrofits
- Key elements of a diesel retrofit program
- Technical issues to consider
- Retrofit experience in US

## Design of Nanoporous Polymers with New Functional Capabilities Using Monomer Self-AssemblyDouglas Gin, University of Colorado at Boulder, DMR 0552399

- Our group is interested in designing ordered, nanoporous polymer resins with new functional capabilities via the polymerization of self-organizing, lyotropic (i.e., surfactant) liquid crystals (LLCs).  The main goal of this NSF project is to design nanoporous LLC networks that reversibly change their pore dimensions or chemical character in response to specific stimuli, for “gated” transport. A second goal is to design new functional LLC networks with more sophisticated 3-D interconnected pore architectures for better transport and access.  This the past year, we completed work on a LLC monomer with a macrocycle core (**1**) that can be polymerized in an ordered tubular phase, and reversibly opened (ca. 30%) using light (submitted for publication). We also made modular LLC monomers (**2**) based on a natural product (imidazole) that form LLC phases with a 3-D interconnected water nanopore network (i.e., bicontinuous cubic phases) for enhanced molecular filtration applications (patent filed).

## Design of Nanoporous Polymers with New Functional Capabilities Using Monomer Self-AssemblyDouglas Gin, University of Colorado at Boulder, DMR 0552399

**Education:**
- Two graduate students (Cory Pecinovsky (5th year, Chem.); Kortney Klinkel (4th year, Chem.)), and one postdoctoral associate (Dr. Jason Bara, Chem.) were partially supported on this NSF grant during the past year.  Cory pioneered and completed the synthesis and study of new LLC monomers with photo-gatable headgroups.  Kortney explored incorporating chemical sensing groups on LLC monomers as a new functional property of interest.  Dr. Bara designed the new imidazole-based LLC monomers that form bicontinuous cubic phases in water and other solvents.  This past year, the P.I. taught Advanced Physical Organic Chemistry in Fall 2006 to a small Chemistry graduate class.  In Spring 2007, the P.I. taught Polymer Engineering to a joint undergraduate/graduate Chem. Eng. class of 70 students.  The latter class  centered on polymer design and polymer structure–performance issues to better match the interests of engineering students.

**Outreach:**
- Eric Karp (a Chem. Eng. undergraduate) worked with C. Pecinovsky, and published a paper in *Langmuir* on the photo-gating behavior of a LLC monomer as a monolayer on water.  Eric is first author on that paper.  In partnership with the NSF Liq. Crystal. Mater. Res. Center at CU Boulder, an REU student (Steve Spurgeon from Carnegie-Mellon) and an RET participant (Mabel McMiller from Curie High School, Chicago) are currently working in our labs this summer.  They are helping with LLC polymer characterization, and developing a new high school lab demo using chromatography and grape KoolAid, respectively.

## Usability of Web Services

- Scott Isensee
- BMC Software
- November 4, 2002

## Guidelines Needed

- Style guides have improved consistency and usability for Macintosh, Windows, UNIX, etc.
- Websites and web applications vary greatly in UI
- Many sets of web guidelines exist, but none are widely accepted.
- For acceptance, need guidelines endorsed by an organization with authority and credibility like W3C
- One new area where usability guidelines are needed is web services

## What are Web Services?

- A new breed of web application based on components.
- Utilize the standards:
- XML (structured data)
- SOAP (access protocol)
- UDDI (directory)
- WSDL (describes the component)
- Enabled by technologies like .NET and J2EE

## Classes of Web Services

## Benefits of Web Services?

- Reusable components increase development efficiency
- Provides mechanisms for integrating applications
- Facilitates improved communication between companies
- IT departments spend less time writing code and more time solving business problems.

## Examples

- E-business website provides package tracking supplied by Fedex
- GUI added to a mainframe application
- Computer manufacturer links their inventory system to parts ordering to the supplier’s

## Example

## Potential Usability Problems

- Internal inconsistency in applications built from components developed by different suppliers
- What happens if a component is slow or unavailable?
- How to accommodate working offline?
- It is feasible to implement features like drag and drop across multiple web services?
- How can an application best be displayed on widely varying devices?
- What are the standards for menus, icons, etc. in the web services environment?

## What Needs to be Done?

- Research and testing to determine best recommendations
- Write guidelines
- Determine best way to deliver these guidelines:
- Make part of programming specs?
- Write separate usability spec?
- Should web services usability guidelines be part of website usability guidelines?

## From AVHRR to Glory APS

## Global Warming: Declining Aerosols 

***Global Warming: Declining Aerosols ***
***Cannot Counterbalance Greenhouse Gases ***

- Multi-decadal record derived from AVHRR data reveals a likely 20% decrease in the global amount of tropospheric aerosols since the late 1980s. This decline makes aerosols less efficient in counter-balancing the warming effect of the greenhouse gases.

## Regional aerosol trends revealed by the GACP record 

*between the early 2000s and late 1980s*

***Regional aerosol trends revealed by the GACP record ***
