## Microfluidic Device for DNA Dynamics in Mixed Flows

**Susan J. Muller, University of California Berkeley, and Eric S.G. Shaqfeh, Stanford**
**Highlight from Stanford MRSEC DMR-0213618**

- Lab-on-a-chip devices that are capable of performing microanalytical testing must have the capacity to precisely control the flow of very small volumes of fluid.  The typical approach to this involves microfluidic devices in which the flow channels are of the order of 50 to 100 microns in diameter.  Of particular interest in CPIMA has been the use of microfluidic devices that could be used to create flow conditions for capturing and orienting biomolecules that are sufficiently long that they may be visualized with optical microscopy.  The prime model system for such experiments has been double-stranded DNA, which could achieve lengths of the order of tens of microns.  In recent work, Muller and Shaqfeh have developed microfluidic devices and sequence-specific probes for studies of DNA hybridization kinetics that may also allow DNA genotyping with unprecedented read lengths.  One particular device developed in CPIMA is a novel microfluidic four-roll mill that allows all flow types (from extension to shear to rotation) to used to examine DNA tumbling in mixed flows.  The figure shows (a) the four-roll mill design, (b) images of -DNA in partially rotational flow (left side) and purely rotational flow (right side), and (c) master curves of dimensionless tumbling period in the rotational flow regime.  Brownian dynamics simulations (open symbols) and experimental observations (closed circles) are in good agreement.  *Seed project linked to IRG-2.*

## The FY04 Budget for DZero in PPD

- John Cooper
- Particle Physics Division
- September 19, 2003

## FY03 Summary for DZero

- The PPD budget allocation was $ 1808 K
- The fiscal year is not over, but it looks like DZero will obligate that budget or perhaps under run by about $ 100 K

## Background from our April meetingwe expect the operating cost to decline each year

- We expect M&S costs to decline as they did in Run I
- Dropped to 80% level in 2nd year
**So we might expect a request of about $ 1450 K**

**Run I**

## The FY04 process so far

- Linda Stutte (PPD DZero Experiment Department Head)                 updated the FY04 DZero Operating Budget Request at my request
- She asked her group leaders for input
- She reduced some of their requests, gathered other lower priority requests into a catch-all management reserve
- Linda’s list included two types of items
- Operating expenses previously agreed to by the Scrutiny Panel in April
- Operating expenses explicitly NOT agreed to by the Scrutiny Panel
- E.g. building infrastructure
- E.g. support of the Fermilab Scientist Group
- I sorted her list
- AND added $ 120 K required for overtime support in 24 x 7 operations as requested by the collaboration but not thought to be absolutely necessary by Fermilab management
- All this can be seen in the spreadsheet_[http://d0server1.fnal.gov/projects/spokes/financialcommittee/index.html](http://d0server1.fnal.gov/projects/spokes/financialcommittee/index.html)__ _
- We can discuss details: the FY04 total request is $ 1700 K

## Next Step, cast the information into the usual Finance Board format

- This is on the same webpage, but labeled as “Computing Division Cost Spreadsheet”
**It’s really the combination of PPD and CD**
- It shows the Fiscal Year history and the FY04 estimate
- The first page is the proposed Common expense part
- This includes CD salaries and PPD online computing salaries
- The second page is the part Fermilab still has to bear
- This includes the PPD mechanical, electrical, safety, administration and financial support salaries.

**Financial status of agent**

## Slide 2

## Issues addressed at the 2003 operations committee

**G-15 Financial status of agent:**
- C. Vassal reviewed the Argos financial status. The proposal to separate the JTA basic cost obligations from the total effective basic cost of Argos adopted by the JTA-21 meeting is maintained for the purpose of calculating the annual 2003 Argos basic costs.
**JTA-23 decision:**
- The meeting carefully reviewed the operation of the Five-Year Plan (FYP). It was pleased to note that the plan was very much on track to achieve its primary objectives of eliminating the JTA share of the accumulated Argos debt by the end of 2004. The annual 2003 Argos basic costs, for the purpose of calculating the JTA share will be capped at the actual 2000 figure of M€ 9,49 to be then increased by the annual inflation rate of 2001, 2002 and 2003 successively.

## Consequences for the JTA tariff structure

- 2002 JTA shows an excess of M€ 0,5
- 	JTA cumulated loss decreased from M€ 1,52 to M€ 1,02
- 2003 JTA structure shows:
- A calculated Argos basic cost of M€ 10,13 (2002 capped figure of M€ 9,93 times 2003 inflation calculated at 2,02%)
- A ratio JTA active PTTs/total active PTTs at 58,3% capped at 53,5% according to FYP)
- 	Taking this into account, the 2003 JTA contemplates an excess of 0,63 M€ and the JTA cumulated loss is now M€ 0,39.
- 	The FYP contemplates a full reimbursement of the loss the last year of FYP (2004).

##  Twin Boundaries in Superconducting YBCO: Their energy & dependence on Processing Parameters Siu-Wai Chan, Columbia University, DMR-0214650

- Twin boundaries, being strong magnetic-flux pinning centers, are being engineered to appear in high density to improve superconducting critical current. To do so, the boundary energy is measured by two methods to yield its entropy and enthalpy as 0.24 mJ/Km2 and 246 mJ/m2, respectively. The positive entropy is exploited  to refine twin by increasing annealing temperature with a concomitant increase of  the critical current density, the pinning force and the field at maximum pinning. Twin spacing reduces to 54 nm as the annealing temperature increases to 680oC with a high pinning-force i.e. 3.4 x 108 N/m3 at 77K and 1T. We have also substituted yttrium by rare earth elements in the 123 films to alter twin structure. Critical temperatures are being correlated with the rare earth ionic radii.

## Diesel Particulate FilterMaintenanceAnthony (Tony) J. Cook, PEChief Engineer, Frame SystemsInternational Truck and Engine CorporationTruck Technology and Development CenterFort Wayne, IN

## Diesel Particulate Filters – Why?

- 2007 Particulate Matter level = 0.01g/bHP-hr
- Unachievable with foreseeable “engine-out” technology
- Virtually assures use of a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
- Must also have 15ppm sulfur fuel to meet PM regulation

**Notes:**
Environmentally better than “engine-out” technology because DPF’s are effective at removing very small particles.

## DPF Maintenance – Why?

**DPF Maintenance – Why?**

- DPF Function
- Catch and hold exhaust particles for further _processing_;
- Regeneration – soot and combustible fractions oxidized in the DPF
- _Maintenance_ – non-combustibles remain in the DPF and must be removed periodically

**Notes:**
Factors influencing frequency of maintenance;
Size of filter
Duty-cycle

## DPF Maintenance – Issues & Concerns

- Development Needs
- Service Procedures
- DPF Conditioning, Disassembly, Ash Removal, Reinstallation

**Notes:**
Maintenance should be performed after a regeneration

## DPF Maintenance – Issues & Concerns

- Development Needs (continued)
- Standards
- SAE J-Standards and TMC Recommended Practices
- Special Equipment
- Typical shop equipment not sufficient
- Ash Handling/Disposal Method
- Not a hazardous residue under 40 CFR 261 Subpart C
- Easily dispersible due to consistency

**Notes:**
Joint & clamp type
Sensors and locations
Identification

Shop-vacs and shop air are not enough to dislodge deeply embedded ash.  Need a forcing function greater than the engine for effective ash removal.

## DPF Maintenance – Issues & Concerns

- Other Concerns
- Cost
- Expensive  must be handled with care!
- Inventory carrying costs (versus mufflers) and availability
- Need for serialization???
- 80/20 Fuel Rule
- Enables contamination from multiple sources
- Recycling
- Will automotive infrastructure support commercial vehicle aftertreatment devices???

**Notes:**
Balance between serviceability and security

One tank of 500ppm fuel will severely reduce a DPF’s effectiveness.

Core/exchange program???

**Comparison Between Original ODS and Current DNDP Analyses of Pediatric Suicidality Data Sets**
- Andrew D. Mosholder, M.D., M.P.H.
- Office of Drug Safety

## ODS Analysis of Suicidal Events in Pediatric Trials with Antidepressant Drugs

- Same trials as DNDP analysis, except for  TADS
- Events determined from responses to July 2003 data requests
- used sponsor-identified suicide related events that were also classified as serious
- predated Columbia University reclassification

## Differences in Analytic Methods

## ODS Analysis: Overview of Data

**Drug N = 2227, patient-years = 406.9**
- no completed suicides
- 74 sponsor-defined suicide related events, **54 serious**
**Pbo N = 1916, patient-years = 347.6**
- no completed suicides
- 34 sponsor-defined suicide related events, **24 serious**

## ODS Analysis: Overview of Data, continued

- Definition of “serious” adverse drug experiences (21CFR 312.32):
- fatal
- life-threatening
- involve hospitalization
- disabling
- congenital defect
- Sponsor determined whether an adverse event in a clinical trial was serious
**ODS “serious suicide-related events” will be compared to Columbia University “definitive suicidal behavior/ideation**”

## Comparison of Case Classifications

*ODS Serious, suicide-related events* n=78
- 61 were classified by Columbia Univ. as “definitive suicidal behavior/ideation”
- 13 of the remaining 17 cases classified as self-injurious behavior with unknown intent
*Columbia University “definitive suicidal behavior/ideation *n=95
- 61 also were ODS serious, suicide-related events
- 18 new cases
- 16 sponsor-defined suicide-related events, but nonserious (thus not included in ODS analysis)

## The DPM Estimator for Metal and Nonmetal Mines

## Metal and Nonmetal Diesel Particulate Rule

**Personal exposure limit:**
**TC = OC + EC  or,**
**TC = 1.3 x EC**
**Based on technological and economic feasibility**

## Estimator Background

**Developed and published in proposed rule.**
**Peer reviewed and published April 2000 in SME Journal.**
**Posted on MSHA home page January 2001.**
**Used by NIOSH to estimate technical feasibility of dpm level.**

## Estimating Effect of DPM Controls Using Estimator

**Concentration is related to:**
**Engine Emission Rate**
**Ventilation**
**Operations (HP, Hours, Duty Cycle)**
**Filtration Efficiency**

## How The Estimator Calculates DPM Concentrations After Controls Are Implemented

**Ventilation**
**DPM****AFTER**** = DPM****BEFORE**** x [Q****1**** / Q****2****]****	****	****	****	**
**Engine Emission Rate**
**DPM****AFTER**** = DPM****BEFORE**** x [e****2**** / e****1****]****	****	****	****	****	**
**Filter**
**DPM****AFTER**** = DPM****BEFORE**** x (1- n%)**

## Estimator Calculations

**Estimator simultaneously does the calculations for multiple controls on multiple pieces of equipment.**
**Considers emissions, airflow, after-treatment (filtration or OCC) and cabs.**

## General Design

**Excel Spreadsheet**
**Two Input Options**
**In-mine DPM Concentration Data Available**
**Laboratory Tailpipe Emission Data Available**

## General Design

**Excel Spreadsheet**
**Column A Option - Concentration Data**
**Works well. The measurement works as a “calibration point”.**
**MSHA analysis for 31 mines is based on concentration.**
**Column B Option - Emission Data**
**Alternative when concentration data is not available.**
**Operational data must be estimated.**
**Both enable “what if” simulations.**

## Estimator Operation

**Input - Engine Emissions**
**Input - Ventilation**
**Input - Operations Data (HP, Hours, ****	****	**** Duty Cycle)**
**Input - Efficiency of Controls**
**Output - Concentration of dpm based on controls applied.**
***Change controls and repeat until desired dpm concentration is achieved***

## Estimator Methodology

**Highest sample result used as basis for simulation**
**Identify equipment involved (immediate vicinity and “upstream”)**
**Three simulations for mine:**
**Baseline - existing conditions**
**Controls for 400 ug/m3**
**Controls for 160 ug/m3**

## Diesel Control Strategies

**Performance oriented rule**
**Operators wanted ability to pick and choose controls from “toolbox” that best suits operation**
**Estimator gives flexibility to assess multiple control scenario**
**MSHA made prudent choices when selecting DPM controls based on available data**
***MSHA doesn’t claim they are the best or optimum choices****** !***

## Tracking data quality

- M.Weber, FNAL
- 2/22/04

## Outline

- Data quality
- Bad runs
- Reasonable runs
- This is more about trackers, for tracking see Tue morning

## Data quality

- Detector hardware status
- Readout
- Reconstruction

-  Enabled ?
-  Data integrity

- Time evolution / stability

## Bad runs 

- Flagged manually (with scripts) based on e-log / shifter rating / experts info /run database
- Runs with unrecoverable data are marked as “bad”.
- Runs with somewhat lower efficiency that is measurable are marked as “reasonable”
- 	When one or more readout _crates_ are not included in the run or not in the trigger

## The e-log

**Run****	****	****Type****	****	****Events****	****SMT Quality**
- 175030	PDAQ/PHYSICS	55020	GOOD
- 175031	PDAQ/PHYSICS	36106	GOOD
- 175033	PDAQ/PHYSICS	434401	GOOD
- 175034	PDAQ/PHYSICS	0	GOOD

**Very good job by shifter, but sometimes...**

- Run 175033

## SMT more in detail

- What makes a run bad?
- Missing crates.
- Large scale HV problems.
- Solenoid
- What compromises data quality?
- Missing VRBs.
- Threshold screw ups that affect many HDIs.
- Suspicious examine histos
- What does not degrade run quality?
- Reduced HV on a few HDIs.
- Disabled HDIs.

**PHYSICS run**

- Transverse component is systematically remaining radial component.
- Vertical component seems ~ 0. (SPIN rotator and SNAKE are not changed...)

- J. Lajoie - RHIC Machine-Expt. Meeting

## Plan for Transverse Running

- PHENIX needs ~0.1pb-1 sampled transverse luminosity to limit the systematic effect of ATT on the ALL measurement
- Currently we are integrating luminosity at 0.055nb-1 per day
- Less than three days of running required
- Polarization can be _transverse_ (vertical), do not require radial!
- Want to limit the effect on longitudinal running!
- Switch to transverse running for STAR and PHENIX following June 13th beam experiments
- Run until PHENIX has 0.1pb-1 sampled
- Agreement with STAR to limit running to < 60 hours (morning of June 16th)

- J. Lajoie - RHIC Machine-Expt. Meeting

## Run-6?

- What does PHENIX want for Run-6?
- The collaboration needs to discuss this in light of new results from both the CuCu and pp portions of Run-5
- Natural timescale for this is after the summer conferences
- PHENIX would benefit from a longer shutdown
- TOF-W installation, HBD engineering run
- Support within PHENIX for a long pp run
- Strong interest in running with radial polarization to study Sivers effect
- Ask CAD to keep this in mind while planning for Run-6
- Strong interest in a pp run at 62.4 GeV
- Reference dataset for RAA measurements

## Peaks, Shortages, and Other 

**Peaks, Shortages, and Other **
**Oil Market Myths**
**Dan Butler**
**Energy Information Administration**
**Department of Energy**
**2005 EIA Midterm Energy Outlook and Modeling Conference**
**April 12, 2005**
**Washington, DC**

## Oil Market Insights?

- “The diagnosis of the U.S. energy crisis is quite simple: demand for energy is increasing, while supplies of oil and natural gas are diminishing.  Unless the U.S. makes a timely adjustment before world oil becomes very scarce and very expensive in the 1980’s, the nation’s economic security and the American way of life will be gravely endangered.”
-    1977

## Oil Market Insights?

- “...there is the common misconception that the world is running out of oil, that it will become more valuable over time and that one should take steps now to preserve it for future generations.  [In fact,] oil is being discovered in large quantities and reserves continue to increase faster than consumption...Over the next three to four decades...supply will not be an issue...nor are we likely to see any upward trend in the prices of energy.”
-    1993

## Oil Market Insights?

- “...it is unsafe to rest in the assurance that plenty of petroleum will be found in the future merely because it has been in the past.” 1936

## Oil Market Insights?

- “...the peak of [U.S.} production will soon be passed – possibly
-    within three years.”
-    1919

## Oil Market Insights?

- “ ... Non-OPEC production in the longer term will at best remain stagnant and is more likely to fall gradually due to resource constraints.”
-   1990

## Oil Market Insights?

- “ ... Higher [resource] numbers are
-    likely to be quoted and used by
-    economists and others lacking
-    insight into the matter...”
-    1994

## Con-Way Transportation ServicesFederal Highway Administration Workshop 

*Albert M. Zahn*

##  Con-Way Transportation Services

- A CNF, Inc. company
- Common Carrier group;  three Regional LTL companies
- 17,000 employees
- 12.4 million shipments
- 14.1 billion pounds
- 508 million highway miles
- State and Federal fuel tax-$36M

## Fleet Operations

- EZ Pass for all toll roads
- Commercial lanes in Metro districts
- Capacity constraints
- The science of road material
- Common rules for LCV
- Road and fuel tax simplification

## Safety Issues

- Safety is “Job One”
- “Hours of Service”
- Rest Areas
- Common Driver License Information System (CDLIS)
- Automatic weather/road hazard alert
- Share the road with a truck

## Maintenance Perspective

- Poor roads cost carriers money
- Suspension cost per truck up 154% in Central Area.
- Super Singles are coming-review load formula.
- Speed limits- corporate limit 65 MPH

## Summary

- The Motor Carrier industry has witnessed both the deterioration and the dramatic increase in road usage.  The combination of increased activity coupled with declining resources has led to the almost gridlock situation we now find around our major cities.  One has only to travel by truck into the heartland’s industrial cities to witness first hand all of the aforementioned problems.  If these conditions are not addressed by a diverse group of stakeholders, the situation will only continue to worsen.  CON-WAY welcomes the opportunity to work shoulder to shoulder with this transportation planning board in improving our country’s highways.
