## Transmission and Pathogenesis

**This is an archived document.**

## Transmission of M. tuberculosis

- Spread by droplet nuclei
- Expelled when person with infectious TB coughs,
- sneezes, speaks, or sings
- Close contacts at highest risk of becoming infected
- Transmission occurs from person with infectious
- TB disease (not latent TB infection)

## Probability TB Will Be Transmitted

- Infectiousness of person with TB
- Environment in which exposure occurred
- Duration of exposure
- Virulence of the organism

## Pathogenesis

- 10% of infected persons with normal immune
-  systems develop TB at some point in life
- HIV strongest risk factor for development of TB if
- infected
-  Risk of  developing TB disease 7% to 10% each
-    year
- Certain medical conditions increase risk that TB
- infection will progress to TB disease

## Conditions That Increase the Risk of 

- Progression to TB Disease

- HIV infection
- Substance abuse
- Recent infection
- Chest radiograph findings suggestive of previous TB
- Diabetes mellitus
- Silicosis
- Prolonged corticosteriod therapy
- Other immunosuppressive therapy

## Conditions That Increase the Risk of 

- Progression to TB Disease (cont.)

- Cancer of the head and neck
- Hematologic and reticuloendothelial diseases
- End-stage renal disease
- Intestinal bypass or gastrectomy
- Chronic malabsorption syndromes
- Low body weight (10% or more below the ideal)

## Common Sites of TB Disease

- Lungs
- Pleura
- Central nervous system
- Lymphatic system
- Genitourinary systems
- Bones and joints
- Disseminated (miliary TB)

## Drug-Resistant TB

- Drug-resistant TB transmitted same way as
- drug-susceptible TB
- Drug resistance is divided into two types:
-  Primary resistance develops in persons initially
-      infected with resistant organisms
-  Secondary resistance (acquired resistance)
-      develops during TB therapy

## Classification System for TB

- No TB exposure
- Not infected

- No history of exposure
- Negative reaction to tuberculin skin test

- TB exposure
- No evidence of infection

- History of exposure
- Negative reaction to tuberculin skin test

- TB infection
- No disease

- Positive reaction to tuberculin skin test
- Negative bacteriologic studies (if done)
- No clinical, bacteriological, or radiographic
- evidence of active TB

- TB, clinically active

*M. tuberculosis* cultured (if done)
- Clinical, bacteriological, or radiographic
- evidence of current disease

- TB
- Not clinically active

- History of episode(s) of TB
**or**
- Abnormal but stable radiographic findings
- Positive reaction to the tuberculin skin test
- Negative bacteriologic studies (if done)
**and**
- No clinical or radiographic evidence of
- current disease

##  Experiences with Metadata Federation with OAI and THREDDS

- Presented by: Michael Burek

## OAI based Collaboration 

- The Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting, OAI-PMH or OAI, was born in the Digital Library community in the early 00’s
- The protocol specifies a standard client-server that is used to exchange XML based metadata
- The first (and mandatory) metadata exchanged was Dublin Core, or DC metadata, a collection of 15 elements to contain the core information
- At the present, one OAI search engine has >10 million records from 830 institutions

**Notes:**
GEOSS 

I’ll focus this talk a bit  

## OAI Coordinated Search with Peer Institutions

**Notes:**
an OAI client is configured to access metadata on the CDP server

## OAI Coordinated Search with Peer Institutions

**Notes:**
Metadata is shared, search is at each site

## OAI Coordinated Search with Peer Institutions

## OAI Coordinated Search with Peer Institutions

**Notes:**
Data Collection or Production Centers
The CDP is acting in the DCPC role in the WMO system
DCPC to GISC is a low entry point for low data rate DCPCs to enter the WMO system
GISC to GISC communications are P2P but could also use OAI, but would require an extension

## Current status

- ~8000 ISO19139 “beta” records are available for harvesting
- Will be creating an ISO19139 to THREDDS stylesheet

- April 24, 2007

## The Mission

- “. . . disseminate knowledge to the widest extent practicable”
- National Space Act of 1958

## Are We Succeeding?

- Do we have the data?
- Without data, all you have is your own opinions
- If all anyone has is opinions, the HIPPO wins
- HIPPO: HIghest-Paid Person’s Opinion
- What does the data tell us?
- Who else should see the data?
- Who else besides them?

## Our Data Sources

- Public e-mail
- Look for the trends
- Note the outliers, but don’t spend much time on them
- Traffic logs
- Most useful combined with other tools, like:
- Surveys
- User testing

## Get the Data: Customer Satisfaction

## Know the Data:“The Student Factor”

## Get the Data:Is This Bad?

- Page Views per Session

## Know the Data:Maybe Not

**Notes:**
Depth of session (blue bars) and customer satisfaction with navigation

## How Does This Relate to Top Tasks?

- Fig. 2.  ENA images of (top) 27-60 keV hydrogen, (middle) 60-120 keV hydrogen, and (bottom) < 160 keV oxygen measured by the IMAGE/HENA instrument (left) before and (right) after a substorm onset at ~1130 UT on August 12, 2000..  The same color code is used for all panels.  The circle at the center represents the Earth, and also shown at L=4 and 8 dipole field lines at four local times.

- Fig. 1.  (top) The Asy-H index along with the 60-120 keV hydrogen ENA intensity measured by the IMAGE/HENA instrument for the two-day interval centered at  12:00 UT on August 12, 2000.  (bottom) The Sym-H (red) and Asy-H (blue) indices for the same interval.  The Sym-H index is decomposed into the trend and AR (auto-regression) components.

## Storm-time Ring Current

- S. Ohtani, A. Y. Ukhorskiy, P. C. Brandt, and D. G. Mitchell
- (The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory)

**Goal:**
**	**To estimate the variation of the storm-time ring current intensity from ground magnetic indices.

**Problem:**
- 	The *Dst*/*Sym*-*H* index is widely used as a measure of the ring current intensity.  However, the substorm-related change of *Dst*/*Sym*-*H* is actually anticorrelated to that of the ring current intensity, and is therefore misleading.

**Approach:**
- 1)** **Evaluate substorm-related variations from ground magnetic indices (*Sym-H* & *Asy-H*).
- 2) Calculate the associated change of the ENA intensity
- 3) Seek for an empirical formula to estimate the change of the ENA intensity from *Sym-H* and *Asy-H*.
- 4) Modify *Sym-H* using the obtained formula so that the new index better reflects the change of the ring current intensity.

**Observational Background:**
- Substorm-related variations of *Sym-H*, *Asy-H*, and the ENA intensity are all related (Fig. 1):
- The ring current is intensified due to particle injection during the substorm expansion phase (Fig. 2), but the expected decrease in the ground *H* component is overcompensated by the effect of the tail current reduction (Fig.1 shows the sharp recovery of *Sym-H* at ~11:30 UT for the interval of Fig. 2.)
- The ground *H* component increases inside the substorm current wedge but it decreases outside, and consequently *Asy-H* increases.
- Substorm injects fresh particles into the ring current, which enhances the ENA intensity (Fig.1-top).

**Superconducting Cavities**

** ****Tsuyoshi Tajima, Los Alamos, NM 87545, USA**

**Critical fields for Nb, Nb****3****Sn and MgB****2****.  The superheating field H****sh**** was calculated for Nb from H****sh**** = 1.2 H****c**** (********GL**** ~1) and for Nb****3****Sn and  MgB****2**** from H****sh**** = 0.75 H****c**** (********GL**** >> 1)**

**Theoretical limit of accelerating field in the case of **

**Relationships between H****c****, H****c1****, H****c2**** and ********GL**

**A Concept for Making a MgB****2****-Layered Copper Cavity with the HIP technique**

**Background and Summary**

- Hc: Thermodynamic critical magnetic field
- Hc1: Lower critical magnetic field
- Hc2: Upper critical magnetic field
- Hsh: Superheating critical magnetic field
- GL: Ginzburg-Landau parameter, GL = L/0
- L: London’s penetration depth
- 0: Coherence length

- Magnesium diboride (MgB2) was discovered to show a transition temperature at ~39 K in early 2001
- Studies have shown that this is a conventional BCS superconductor with absence of weak links, which makes it promising for applications to cavities
- Calculations show that MgB2 has 63 % higher theoretical limit (Eacc = 80 MV/m) than Nb at 4 K and has a limit of 52 MV/m even at 20 K, and a potential for higher Q0 due to its higher Tc.
- A possible method of making a MgB2 cavity using the hot isostatic press (HIP) technique is proposed

- Fill the gap of two copper pipes with MgB2 powder under vacuum (10-2 Torr)
- Attach this subassembly into two dies under vacuum and weld (seal) two pipes and dies at the top and bottom
- Put this module in a HIP furnace and carry out a HIP in an optimum condition, e.g., at 200 MPa and 1000 °C for 200 minutes.  A bulk-quality MgB2 layer is formed on copper
- Remove the dies
- Remove the inner copper layer with a chemical, e.g., HF, or machine it off
- Weld flanges on the end pipes

**Process**

**Effect of operating temperature on the BCS resistance.  Energy gap 2********/k****B****T****c**** = 3.5 is assumed for all the materials.  The numbers in the last column are normalized by the number for Nb operated at 4 K.**

## MNM Fatal 2006-07

- Fall of Highwall
- April 21, 2006 (Indiana)
- Dimension Limestone Operation
- Driller/Breaker
- 35 years old
- 48 weeks mining experience

## Overview

- The victim and a co-worker were drilling an uneven area of
- the quarry floor at the base of a limestone block that had
- been cut from the bench.  Subsequent movement of the
- limestone block caused a cracked section to fracture and
- fall on top of both men.  The victim was fatally injured and
- the co-worker was seriously injured when they were
- crushed under the limestone slab.

## Slide 3

## Root Causes

- Management policies and controls were inadequate.  Procedures were not in place to require that hazardous ground conditions be taken down or supported before work or travel commenced.
- Management failed to formalize policies and procedures that would require thorough examinations of air control valves to identify defects.  The defective air control valve was not removed from service.

## Best Practices

- Always conduct examinations of highwalls to identify loose ground or unstable conditions before work begins and as changing ground conditions warrant.
- Ensure that the person conducting the examination has the training and experience to recognize potential hazards.
- Prohibit work or travel in areas where hazards from unstable ground have not been corrected.
- Discuss work procedures and identify all hazards associated with the work to be performed along with the methods to protect personnel. Stop, Look, Analyze, Manage ( SLAM )

## MNM Fatal 2005-03

- Sliding Material
- March 11, 2005 (Kentucky)
- Crushed Stone Operation
- Laborer
- 23 years old
- 1 year experience

## Overview

- The victim had entered a bin and was attempting to dislodge material that had adhered to the inside walls.  He was not wearing a safety belt secured to a lanyard and was engulfed when the material suddenly broke free.

## Entrapment occurred in this bin.

**Entrapment occurred in this bin.**

## Entrapment Area

**Entrapment Area**

## Why Did Accident Occur?

- The accident occurred because management failed to establish safe work procedures and methods for cleaning the bins.  The victim had not been task trained in the health and safety aspects and safe work procedures relating to the task being performed.  It was a practice at this mine for employees to enter bins without being equipped with a safety belt or harness with a lifeline attached.  A second person similarly equipped was not present to adjust or keep the victim’s lifeline tight.

## Causal Factor

- Management policies and controls were inadequate.  Procedures had not been established to ensure employees were protected from the sliding material hazards when they entered the #2 Dust Bin.  Miners entered the bin and routinely cleared blockages but were not provided with safety belts or harnesses attached to lifelines.  A second person was not present to ensure the lifeline was kept tight.

## Causal Factor

- Management policies and controls were inadequate and failed to ensure that miners received training in the health and safety aspects and safe work procedures related to cleaning bins.  There was no documentation to verify that the victim was adequately trained on how to safely unplug or clean the plant bins.

## Best Practices

**Prior to entering bins, hoppers, tanks, or silos:**
- Ensure supply and discharge operating controls are locked out.
- Ensure a safety harness properly secured to a lanyard is worn and a second person is positioned outside to adjust the lanyard.
- Ensure miners have been trained to safely perform the task.

## Best Practices

**Prior to entering bins, hoppers, tanks, or silos****:**
- Miners should discuss the work procedures, identify all possible hazards, and ensure steps are taken to safely perform the task.
- Management should routinely monitor these activities to ensure miners are protected from possible hazards.

## Use of GPS in Cellular Phone Industry

**Use of GPS in Cellular Phone Industry**

- September 11, 2001CGSIC Meeting
- Jari Syrjärinne Research and Technology AccessNokia Mobile Phones

## In Telecom Industry GPS Is Needed for... 

**Network synchronization**

**Positioning of cellular phones**

## Network Synchronization

- US CDMA cellular network is inherently synchronized with GPS time.
- Synchronization is e.g. needed for call handovers.

- GSM and the coming 3G (UMTS) systems are asynchronous networks.
- Only time difference measurement is needed for call handovers.

## Network Synchronization continued

**Network Synchronization continued**

- Base station 2

- Base station 3

- Base station 1

- E-OTD (GSM)
- IPDL-OTDOA (UMTS)

- GPS is used to measure base station clock drifts and real time differences.

- Cellular network based positioning methods requirea synchronous network.

## Positioning of Cellular Phones

-  Wireless Assisted GPS (WAG, AGPS)
- MS-Assisted NW-Based GPS
- MS-Based NW-Assisted GPS
- Network assistance includes e.g.
- navigation data
- DGPS corrections
- reference frequence
- reference position
- reference time
- Reductions in acquisition time and TTFF
- Sensitivity improvement app.. 20-25 dB

## GPS Time Delivery over Asynchronous Cellular Link

**GPS-time = ****GPS-timestamp**** + ********FN**** + clockdrift(********FN****) + RTD/2  **

## Near Future Deployment of GPS  in Telecom Industry

- GPS is needed for implementing cellular network based methods
- 	=> rather small volume
- More than 400 million cellular phones sold annually in the world, but...
- Deployment of AGPS capable cellular phones depends on
- cost of technology
- maturity of technology
- competitiveness of AGPS
- emergence of location based services
- Synergism between cellular network based positioning and AGPS promotes both solutions!
