- Smectic A

- Smectic C

- Layer Contraction:

**Notes:**
The layer spacing is approximately the same. The orientational order decreases as the transition is approached. 

## Experimental measure of M:  Birefringence (      ~ M)

**Orientational Order (****0 < *****M < *****1****)**

- (Optical Axis)

*M* << 1

*M* ~ 1

*M** *increases *monotonically*
- as *T* is decreased

*Conventional Smectics:*

*Material: DSi3-MR11*

*Normally *: *M* increases with decreasing temperature (*T*) BUT in de Vries....

**Notes:**
Orientational Order is a measure of how well aligned the molecules are. My research involved studying a model that explains the orientational order and the layer spacing. 

## Pure Q piece:

- Pure ** piece:

- Coupling between ** and *Q*:

- t

-  Note - *Q* contains *M* and *c*
- ts  : T dependent
-  Minimize *f  *wrt  *c*,
-  Find phases (*I, N, A, C*) and phase boundaries
-  Track  *c*,                    in each phase, and at phase transitions *                    *

## Layer Contraction:

- Layer Contraction:

- Layer Contraction is weighted by orientational order *M**0*
- => Systems with unusually small orientational order (birefringence) will exhibit unusually small layer contraction, i.e. de Vries behavior.

- Expected scaling with *c*

- Possible   *M*(*T*)  for some parameters

## Thoughts on Climate Change and Variability

- Jim Angel
- State Climatologist
- Illinois State Water Survey

## American Association of State Climatologists

- Formed in 1978 after state climatologists lost federal funding in 1973
- Members include state climatologists and regional climate centers in partnership with the National Climatic Data Center
- Programs in 47 states and Puerto Rico and are largely located at universities

## State Climatologist Activities

- Provide climate services to a variety of user groups
- Monitor current climate events
- Applied research on climate-related issues
- Interact frequently with the media

## Question 5: How can interactions between producers and users of climate information be optimally structured to ensure essential information needed for formulating adaptive management strategies is identified and provided to decisionmakers and policymakers?
Rephrased: How do we get the right climate information into the hands of those who need it?

- Rephrased: *How do we get the right climate information into the hands of those who need it?*

## Contribution of SCs

- The State Climatologists contribution to any climate change program is *to provide the critical link to the state and local level* where most of the climate services are required
- “Locals trust locals”
- “All (most) climate is local”

## Data collection within NOAA

- Better data collection within NOAA on temperature and precipitation
- Upgrade cooperative observer network
- Fully support the Climate Reference Network
- Better collection of “other” data, for example:
- Tornado statistics (change in procedures over time)
- Ice storms

## Question #2: Near-term and long-term climate prediction

- Near-term climate prediction is a hot topic among user groups - “What will happen this winter”
- Immediate payoff for both science and users
- Overlap of issues with long-term climate prediction

## Impacts and Adaptation

- “If we took practical steps to reduce our vulnerability to today’s weather, we would go a long way toward solving the problem of tomorrow’s climate” – Sarewitz & Pielke (The Atlantic Monthly – 2000)

## Slide 9

## Final Comments

- War is too important to be left to generals - Clemenceau (1917)
- Climate is too important to be left to climatologists
- We need to integrate the user community tightly from beginning to end

## Magnet design issues and discussion

- David Harding
- for
- Vladimir Kashikhin
- 3 April 2005

## Very early thoughts 

- First notions of requirements
- Challenges
- A concept
- More questions
- To be continued tomorrow morning

- 3 April 2005

## Magnet types

- One combined function magnet
- One quadrupole magnet
- Carol says Fermilab Linac quad with new coils is good for this

- 3 April 2005

## Fermilab Linac quad

- 3 April 2005

## General requirements

- Slot length
- 100 mm
- Aperture (good field)
- 50 mm wide
- 25 mm high
- Also
- Space for BPM
- Make up vacuum
- And so forth

- 3 April 2005

## Magnetic needs

- Integrated dipole
- Fixed strength
- 5 T-mm ( 1kG x 5 cm)
- Integrated quadrupole
- Adjustable strength
- Up to 0.2 T-mm/mm (1 kG/2.5 cm x 5 cm)
- Field uniformity
- +/- 1%

- 3 April 2005

## Challenges

- Aspect ratio (gap to length)
- Squeeze so much into such a short slot
- Current density
- Getting the heat out
- End field

- 3 April 2005

## Concept

- Power the dipole component with permanent magnets
- Compact
- No power issues
- Power the quadrupole component with a (modified) Panofsky coil
- Compatible with rectangular aperture
- Relatively short ends

- 3 April 2005

## First look – dipole only field lines

- 3 April 2005

## Dipole plus quad field lines

- 3 April 2005

## By(x)

- 3 April 2005

## Questions

- Is this dipole field adequate?
- If BL if fixed, can we vary L (and B)?
- Is this quadrupole gradient adequate?
- Can we reduce the range of gradients?
- What magnet spacing is really required?

## Space Weather ForecastingJoseph M. KunchesChief, Space Weather OperationsNOAA Space Environment CenterBoulder, ColoradoJoseph.Kunches@noaa.gov

*Living With a Star and the Exploration Initiative *Workshop
-  Washington, DC
- April 5, 2004

## Proton Forecasts from SEC

**Produced daily for 1-3 days forward**
**Utilize active region information and -- if eruptive already occurred -- LASCO Coronagraph, GOES SXI, and ACE EPAM data**
**Have not improved appreciably as predicting eruptive event still elusive**
**Produced as event occurs**
**Uses GOES, SOHO, and ACE data**
**Have improved over the last few years as more data are available, as evidenced by excellent predictions during Halloween Storms 2003**

## Daily Forecasts

**There is a strong need to know the value of the predictions**
**Forecast verification is a necessary component in ascertaining value**
**Daily forecasts are difficult due to the additional aspect of needing to predict the solar eruptive as well as the proton characteristics that may follow**

## Verification Statistics

**Results are for 1-3 day lead time forecasts issued daily**
**For explanation of terms go to **_**[http://sec.noaa.gov/forecast_verification.html](http://sec.noaa.gov/forecast_verification.html)**_
**Forecasts show a modest level of skill**

## Slide 5

## Slide 6

## Slide 7

## Slide 8

## Event-Driven Forecasts

**Include start, max, and predicted flux – no spectrum as yet**
**What predictions will Mars mission require?**
**Commercial airlines serve as an example in defining requirements**
**Airlines want 8 hour lead time, a predicted end time, and peak flux**
**Mars and Lunar scenarios probably will want spectral information**
***All Clear***** desirable for EVA’s**
**Need 360****o**** monitoring to safeguard against missed events**
**Improved models necessary to account for radial and azimuthal separation**

## Halloween Storms 2003

**EXCELLENT!**
**13 Radiation Storm (i.e., SEP) days, Oct. 26 – Nov. 7**
**4 Warnings issued**
**31 Alerts issued**
**195 minute average lead time**
**0 missed warnings**
**0% false alarm rate**

## Summary

**Two types of forecasts, daily and event-driven, are produced by SEC**
**Event-driven forecasts are the most skillful**
**Both types of forecasts rely heavily on GOES, SOHO, and ACE observations**
**To forecast for a Mars mission, a full suite of similar instruments must be flown, spatially optimized for full observational capability**
**Appropriate models need to be employed to fill in both spatial and temporal voids**

## Clinical Trials in AECBFDA - IDSA - PhRMA Workshop

- Roger M. Echols, M.D.
- Clinical Development - Infectious Diseases
- Bristol-Myers Squibb
- November 20, 2002

## AECB:  Current Study Design

- True acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis
- chronic productive cough (3 months/yr.; _>_ 2 yr.)
- smoking history in majority of subjects
- excludes 2° bacterial infection of acute bronchitis
- Non-inferiority study design
- expected success ~80-85%
- 95% 2 sided CI, 90% power, 85% evaluability
- Delta 15%, Enroll N = 350
- Delta 10%, Enroll N = 800

## AECB Clinical Trial:  Quinolone vs. Macrolide

- Patient Population:
- 	N=786  Females=52%  Age: 53 (18-90)
- 	Anthonisen type I = 90%
- 	81% smoking history, 46% current
- 	Duration of symptoms >7d = 53%
- 	Systemic Steroid use = 10%

## AECB Clinical Trial:  Quinolone vs. Macrolide

- Microbiology:
- 	Subjects with pathogens = 67%
- 	Single pathogen = 49%
- 	Multiple pathogen = 18%
- 	Big 3 (*S. pneumo, H. inf, M. cat*)  	= 42%
- 	*S.  aureus*			= 15%
- 	*H. parainfluezae*		= 14%
- 	other gram positive		=   5%		other gram negative		= 24%
- 				 100%
- % susceptible (N=700): quinolone =  99%
-   	                              macrolides = 70%

## AECB Clinical Trial:  Quinolone vs. Macroslide

- Outcome:  Clinical response @ 7-14 days post-Rx
- 	Eval. Pop. 84% vs. 87%	95% CI (-7.6, 2.5)
- 	All Treated 82% vs. 85%	(-7.6, 2.6)
- 	Micro. Eval. 85% vs. 86%	(-5.2, 6.7)
- 	Bact. Erad. 92% vs. 88%	N.A.

## Clinical Trials in AECB - Issues

- Sensitivity or predictive power of non-inferiority.  What delta?
- Heterogeneity of study population
- sputum culture = infection or colonization?
- infection severity - Anthonisen type 1, 2, 3?
- no objective measure of response (FEV1, sputum color)

## Clinical Trials in AECB - Issues

- Natural history of untreated exacerbated
- placebo response ~50% at 3 weeks
- but ~50% of  “failures” hospitalized
- COPD - 4th leading cause of death
- Microbiologic eradication does not correlate with clinical response

## AECB - Placebo controlled trials

- Often “reviewed”, not often attempted
- Minimal benefit observed, but
- underpowered, poorly designed
- outcome measures not useful, inconsistent
- old drugs (TMP/SMX, amoxicillin, doxycycline)
- “Risk” too high for marketed product

## Way Out:  Placebo Controlled Trials

- Required for regulatory approval
- Clinically meaningful benefit defined
- time to response; continuous variable
- “cardinal” symptom score
- time to next exacerbation
- “Objective” measures
- pulmonary function, e.g. FEV1
- sputum analysis - cells, color
- quantitative microbiology

## U.S. Climate Change Science Program Planning WorkshopBreakout Group #16 Stabilizing Greenhouse Gases in the Earth’s Atmosphere: Opportunities for Technology and InnovationPanelists: Robert Socolow, Robert Marlay, Ken Caldeira,            Brian Flannery, Charles Kennel, Linda HortonRapporteurs: Mike Curtis, Lisa HanleWashington, D.C.December 4, 2002

## Breakout Session #16The only breakout session (of 24) explicitly focusing on technology

- Where do  “we” fit in?

## Where do “we” fit in?

- The other 23 breakout sessions are about the *problem*.
- Technology R&D is about the *solutions*.

- #1-15, 17-24
- Reduce uncertainty about the hazard of elevated CO2

- #16
- Reduce uncertainty about the risks and costs of solutions

- Make policy decisions about how strongly to react. Then iterate.

- The solutions are uncertain too! How safe? How effective? How costly? Both new science and field experience are needed.

## Examples of solution science

| Technological solution | Missing science |
| --- | --- |
| Geological storage of CO2 | CO2 in brines |
| CO2 separation from gas mixtures | Membranes, absorbers |
| Hydrogen fuels | Storage/retrieval from solids |
| Crop residues for energy | Nutrient replenishment for sustainable agriculture |
| Thousands of GW of wind | Regional climate impacts |

## Key Thrusts for Technology

- Transform Energy Supply
- Transform Energy End-Use
- Capture and Sequester GHGs
- Mitigate Contributions to Warming of Other Gases
- Measure, Monitor and Verify

## A Question for the Cabinet-Level Committee on Climate Change Science and Technology Integration

-     ***How can we ensure that the climate change science and technology efforts work as an integrated program and not as independent initiatives?***
-     Could we conduct regular integrated assessments of the scientific, technological, environmental, and socioeconomic progress in the technology strategy outlined in the CCTI?

## Themes from the discussion

- Links between science and technology
- The range of available technology strategies
- Unintended consequences of solutions: Safety, health, and the environment.
- The knowledgeable consumer/citizen
- Diffusion of technology within and across countries, including to the developing countries.

## What next?

- A draft program plan, a big public meeting to collect reactions like this one, and a national commitment to enact a technology plan as ambitious as the science plan in front of us here.

## V.  Patogênese da Doença

## Fatores de Risco Relatados para FHD

- Cepa do vírus
- Anticorpo antidengue pré-existente
- infecção anterior
- anticorpos maternais em bebês
- Genética dos hospedeiros
- Idade

## Fatores de Risco para FHD  (continuação)

- Maior risco em infecções seqüenciais
- Maior risco em locais com dois ou mais sorotipos circulando simultaneamente em altos níveis (transmissão hiperendêmica)

## Maior Probabilidade de FHD

- Hiperendemicidade

- Maior circulação do vírus

- Maior probabilidade de
-  infecção seqüencial

-   Maior probabilidade da ocorrência de cepas virulentas

- Maior probabilidade de
- reforço imunológico

- Maior probabilidade de FHD

- Gubler & Trent, 1994

## Hipótese sobre a Patogênese da FHD (Parte 1)

- Pessoas que tenham sofrido uma infecção do dengue desenvolvem anticorpos de soro que podem neutralizar o vírus de dengue do mesmo sorotipo (homólogos)

## Anticorpos Homólogos Formam Complexos Neutralizantes

**1**

- Vírus Dengue 1
- Anticorpo neutralizante ao vírus Dengue 1
- Anticorpo não neutralizante
- Complexo formado por anticorpo
- neutralizante e vírus Dengue 1

## Hipótese sobre a Patogênese da FHD (Parte 2)

- Em uma infecção subsequente, os anticorpos heterólogos pré-existentes formam complexos com os novos sorotipos de vírus que causam infecção mas não neutralizam o novo vírus

## Anticorpos Heterólogos Formam Complexos Não-Neutralizantes

- Vírus Dengue 2
- Anticorpo não neutralizante
- Complexo formado por anticorpo não neutralizante e vírus Dengue 2

## Hipótese sobre a Patogênese da FHD  (Parte 3)

- A amplificação dependente de anticorpos  é o processo no qual determinadas cepas do vírus do dengue, complexadas com anticorpos não-neutralizantes, podem penetrar uma grande proporção de células mononucleares, aumentando assim a produção do vírus

## Complexos Heterólogos Penetram Mais Monócitos Onde o Vírus se Multiplica

- Vírus Dengue 2
- Anticorpo não neutralizante
- Complexo formado por anticorpo não
- neutralizante e vírus Dengue 2

## Hipótese sobre a Patogênese da FHD (Parte 4)

- Os monócitos infectados liberam mediadores vasoativos resultando em permeabilidade vascular e manifestações hemorrágicas maiores do que as que caracterizam a FHD e o SCD

## Fatores de Risco Viral para a Patogênese da FHD

- Cepa de vírus (genotipo)
- Potencial epidêmico: Grau de viremia e infectuosidade
- Sorotipo do vírus
- Risco de FHD é maior para DEN-2, seguido do DEN-3, DEN-4 e DEN-1

## Collaborative Active Thermo Chemistry Tables (ATcT) 

**Collaborative Active Thermo Chemistry Tables (ATcT) **
**Using The OGSA Framework**

**ATcT**
- ATcT uses innovative algorithms to derive precise thermo chemistry data for complex chemical reactions. It generates a chemical network for these reactions and solves the network for a particular species.
- Requires collaborative steering, whereby chemists around the world can interactively control the application in a distributed manner.

**ATcT will use following OGSA features**
**Instance Management**: Chemists initiate sessions and invite peers to participate, thereby exchanging thermo chemistry data
**Notification**: Chemists participating in collaborative sessions subscribe to notification topics, dynamically creating and managing interactive groups
**Registration**: Sessions will be registered to remote registries to be discovered by the collaborating researchers.
**Security**: For sophisticated authentication and authorization.

## Status ReportWeek of 2003 March 3-9

**In Supervised Access all week**
**Search & Secure was done Sunday evening**
**Significant commissioning efforts**
**Tracking Trigger**
**Forward Proton Detector**
**AFE Boards & Pot motion/positions**
**Continued debugging **
**Calorimeter:  Small fraction of channels**
**Drifting pedestals over period of weeks**
**Replaced Switched Capacitor Array (SCA) chips**
**Muon Trigger**
**L2 Online Code**
**Silicon VRBc firmware**
**Quiet time studies**
**Special runs without beam & w/HV on**

## Calorimeter Preamp Fans

**Replaced all Calorimeter Preamp fans during the January Shutdown**
**Preventative measure as three fans had failed last year**
**12 Preamp boxes, each with two small and one large fan near the heat exchanger**
**All fans were inspected and tested**
**We have run > 1 month with no failures**
**Manufacturer quotes an expected 10% failure > 55k hours**
**Wed Mar 5****th**** Eve Shift**
**Shifter noticed a minor alarm on one of the temperature readings displayed in the control room **
**Expert was paged & advised shifter to log problem and it would be investigated on Thur morning**
**But...communication mishap**
**High temperature was rediscovered on Friday afternoon**
***Skip to next slide...***** **

**Temperature rose from 43 C to 59 C and has been fairly constant over the weekend**
**Borderline of minor/major alarm limits**
**Likely only one fan has failed**
**To replace fan, we would need an access of about 12 hours**
**4 hours each to open & close either North or South & West Muon End Iron, and to raise scaffolding in the Cathedral to the Calorimeter Preamp boxes **
**4 hours to disassemble box and replace failed fan**
**As Tevatron had declared they were ahead of schedule on Saturday, we could not open detector without impacting Tevatron operations**
**Decided to assume risks and wait for:**
**Natural gap in Tev operations or**
**Further increase in temperature or other fan failure**

## Calorimeter Preamp Fan Failure?

- Slide from
- 7 Oct 2002
- AEM talk

## Plans for Upcoming Week

**Aside from CAL Preamp Fan, there are no other outstanding problems**
**Will let Ron or Keith know if/when fan status changes**
**Controlled Accesses for continued commissioning efforts are welcome as they become available**
**From 1 hour or more **
**Prepared to take data at **_**any**_** **_**time**_
**All systems up and ready!**
**Reminder: D0 Wine and Cheese seminar on Winter Conferences results on ****Friday March 14****th**** **
**Brad Abbott, University of Oklahoma**
**Recent D0 results in B, QCD, Electroweak and Top/Higgs Physics**

## User Centered Design ofCollaboration Technologies

*What we’re doing here today*
**Judith S. Olson (Judy)**
**Richard W. Pew Chair of Human Computer Interaction**
**School of Information**
**University of Michigan**

## User Centered Design

**Why** do this
- If the designers don’t fully understand what the users want to do with the system...
- Wasted time
- Bad system
- So there are **methods** that involve users in the whole development process
- User centered design
- Participatory design
- It works!

## What’s involved (the higher level)

- Understand the users’ tasks
- What functionality can help?
- Based on these needs, determine
- Collaboration, computational technologies
- Procedures that will help people work better together
- “rules of the road”
- Develop prototype functionality, user interface
- Evaluate prototype
- Iterate

## What’s involved (where we are now)

- Understand the users’ tasks
- REALLY
- With diagrams, flow charts, etc.
- Called “use cases”
- Look at the set of technologies available
- What technology fits what need
- Build scenarios of the future
- Assess whether this really fits the need

## How to do this

- Interview users about what they ***do***
- Not just what they ***want***
- We use
- Who’s where, what the roles are
- Simple narratives
- Flow charts
- “Swimming lane” diagrams
- At each point determine needs
- Computation
- Communication
- Simultaneous both face-to-face and remote
- Asynchronous
- Notification
- Awareness

## Slide 6

## Slide 7

## Simple

- Narrative

## Flow charts

## Swimming

- Lane
- Diagrams

## Today

- We are here to listen to what you say
- About what you do
- About what you envision
- Collaboration technologies available
- What technologies are good
- for you
- for various tasks
