## Prototype L2/3 Trigger PC Farm

- Using PC’s from old PC Farms at Fermilab
- 3 dual-CPU Manager PCs
- boulder (1 GHz P3) - meant for data server
- iron (2.8 GHz P4) - httpd, BB and Ganglia gmetad
- slate (500 MHz P3) - httpd, BB
- Managers have a private network through 1 Gbps link
- bouldert, iront, slatet
- 15 dual-CPU (500 MHz P3) workers (btrigw2xx)
- 84 dual-CPU (1GHz P3) PC workers (btrigw1xx)
- No plans to add more, but may replace with faster ones
- Ideal for RTES - 11 workers already have problems!

## L2/3 Prototype Farm Setup

## BTeV Prototype Farms at FCC

**L2/3 Trigger Racks F1-F5**

- L2/3 Trigger Workers

- L1 Trigger Farm

## Prototype L2/3 Trigger PC Farm

- Other hardware:
- Lantronix 32-port serial console server (SCS3200), allow serial connections to managers and 15 workers (**btrigw2xx**)
- APC networked power distribution strips, allow network control of power outlets for managers and all workers except for rack F1.
- 140 GB of disk on **boulder** for data storage and data distribution, meant to simulate the L1 buffer (could also use **iron** if we can add disks).
- One Cisco switch, with a private network VLAN for the L2/3 workers and one for the L1 Trigger, also provides VLAN public network to WAN
- Possible for L2/3 and L1 Trigger workers to exchange data, (maybe the next demo is a combined L1+L2/3 demo?)

## Setup for the Prototype L2/3 Farm

- PCs running Scientific Linux version LTS 3.0.1
**boulder**, **slate**, **btrigw2xx**
- PCs running Scientific Linux version LTS3.0.3
**iron**, **btrigw1xx**
- Remote access via kerberos to manager PCs as user **rtes**, from a manager, **rtes** can login to any worker
- Slower access to **btrigw1xx** (than for **btrigw2xx**) - still need to solve
- Email _cheung@fnal.gov_ to request system level software installed
- User **rtes** on workers do not have a common home area. But all run **tcsh**, and source **/rtes_disk/rtes/.cshrc** and **/rtes_disk/rtes/.login**
- Monitoring of workers using **iron** and **slate**, using BB and ganglia
**iron** runs httpd, bb, gmetad; **slate** runs httpd, bb
**boulder** runs ftp service (vsftp) for workers on private network
- Web page on **iron** and **slate** accessible only from .fnal.gov

## Utilizing Vaccine Stockpiles

**National Vaccine Advisory Committee’s**
**Second Workshop on Strengthening the Supply of Routinely Recommended Vaccines **
**January 24-25, 2005 – Washington, D.C.**
**Stephen L. Cochi, M.D., M.P.H.**
**Acting Director, National Immunization Program**

## History of the Pediatric Vaccine  Stockpile Program

**1970’s, early 1980’s--several domestic vaccine manufacturers stopped producing vaccines**
**1982—CDC asked Congress for funds to begin rotating, six-month stockpiles**
**1983—the Pediatric Vaccine Stockpile Program began **
**MMR, DTP, polio vaccines recommended at that time**

## New Funding Source for Pediatric Vaccine Stockpile Program

**Congress appropriated funds for vaccine stockpile purchases from 1983-1991**
**OBRA 1993 created the Vaccines for Children Program (VFC)**
**Authorized CDC to use VFC funds for stockpile purchase**
**Charged CDC with managing stockpile for use in disease outbreaks**

## Using Vaccine Stockpiles

**Stockpiled vaccine has been used on at least 12 occasions since 1983**
**Reasons for use include**
**Fire damage at manufacturing plant**
**Unforeseen production problems**
**Quality assurance difficulties**
**Disease outbreak**
**2002-- use of stockpiled vaccine to address the last MMR shortage**

## NVAC Report on Vaccine Supply Shortages (2002)

**NVAC concluded that vaccine stockpiles are an important short-term solution to prevent future shortages**
**Recommendations:**
**Additional resources be provided to allow sufficient purchase of all routinely recommended vaccines**
**Acknowledged financial risk to government for vaccines no longer in use**
**Development of a strategic plan for growth and management of the vaccine stockpile program**

## Progress Made

**CDC has developed a high level strategic plan for the Pediatric Vaccine Stockpile Program**
**Expansion strategy**
**Program management**
**CDC has achieved full or partial target quantities for six different vaccines**

## Remaining Challenges

**Revenue recognition**
**Incorporation of new vaccines**
**Adjusting to changes in market share**
**Combination vaccines**
**Vaccines with little/no market**
**Integration of vaccine stockpiles with the Vaccine Management Business Improvement Project (VMBIP)**

## Using Light to Construct Pathogen Microarray Sensors Jeffrey T. Koberstein, Columbia University, DMR-0214363

- Surface-exposed carbohydrate moieties that are uniquely present in a given microbe serve as key biomarkers for pathogen identification, diagnosis and vaccine development. With collaborators Nick Turro and Denong Wang, and graduate student Greg Carrol, we have developed a high-throughput strategy (see figure) for identification and immunological characterization of pathogen-specific carbohydrate moieties. The method is the first to provide covalent  photo-immobilization and micro-patterning of unmodified mono- and oligo-saccharides.

- Using photo-generated glycan arrays, we characterized a large-panel of synthetic carbohydrates for their antigenic reactivities with pathogen-specific antibodies. In view of the risk of *B. anthracis* spores* *as a biological weapon of mass destruction, it is of great interest to us to achieve the capacity for the rapid and specific detection of *B. anthracis *spores in various conditions. We discovered that rabbit IgG antibodies elicited by *B. anthracis* spores recognize the sugar moieties that decorate the outermost surfaces of *B. anthracis* exosporium. Since this antigenic structure is highly specific for the spores of *B. anthracis,* it appears to be a key immunological target for spore identification and development of novel anthrax vaccines that target *B. anthracis* spores.

## Neuroeconomics in a Nutshell

## Goals of Neuroeconomics:

- How does the brain computes the solution to different types of DM problems?	-- which variables are computed?	-- how do they interact?	-- how do they lead to choices?	-- what is their neural basis?	-- can the brain act in multiple modes?
- How does the brain computes its subjective experience of well-being?	-- how do these processes differ from DM process?    -- how do they affect DM processes?
- What are the implications of this knowledge for all of the behavioral sciences and their applications?

## AGINGSTUDIES

**AGING****STUDIES**

## Suggestions for Discussion

## TOPIC I: Cross-disciplinary Fertilization

- Neuroecon -> Aging: What can neuroeconomics contribute to aging studies?
- 	-- Characterization of processes required for good 	     DM in different situations	-- Tools to study how these processes change over	     the life cycle
- Aging -> Neuroecon: What can aging studies contribute to neuroeconomics?	-- Menu of life-cycle behavioral changes that need	     to be explained	-- New questions. Examples?

## TOPIC II: Typology of processes & choice situations

- PROCESSES: In order to make sound choices, the brain needs to deploy multiple processes: What are the minimal set of separate processes that we need to understand?
- SITUATIONS: Different choices are likely to be solved using a different composition of these processes: What is a useful taxonomy of DM situations that we need to study?

## TOPIC III: Which tasks?

- In order to understand how DM processes change over the life-cycle and how this affects DM performance, _which battery of tasks should we run_?

## TOPIC IV: External validity

- Two different types of external validity to worry about:I. Population validityII. Task validityAre there any “golden standards” that we should follow at the intersection of Neuroecon & Aging?

## Development of Percolation Theory for Interface Networks in MaterialsChristopher A. Schuh, Materials Science and Engineering, MIT, DMR 0346848

- Materials usually contain internal interfaces, some of which can be weak-links that compromise properties.  An example is creep—the gradual deformation of a material in service, which limits the lifetime of many engineering components.  Internal interfaces like grain and phase boundaries can dramatically impact creep.

- The distribution of creep strain (and damage) in a “conventional” material...
- ...is dramatically reduced in a “grain boundary engineered” material

- Our research uses both experiment and simulations to answer the following key question:
- When there are many interfaces in a material, how does the connectivity and topology of those interfaces affect the overall “effective” properties?
- The example shown here illustrates how a minor change to the interface network can dramatically mitigate creep of a polycrystalline material.

**    ****There are three periods to be distinguished :**
_**  **__**1717 to 1730**_** : Father Feuillée, Minime, a  great traveller was frequently absent and his observations are often missing. The barometers in use are diverse and unrecognised. The Feuillée observatory was located at Long (Isle de Fer) 23°3"7'' and Lat 43° 17' 34''.  The observations performed by Father Laval  S.J. are yet to be gathered. (scattered in 28 cahiers or papers from 1698 to 1724).**
_**2.  1730-1739 and 1743**_** :  Father Pezenas at the Royal Observatory on the Accoules Hill near Marseille, 43 meters above the sea. This observations allow a better continuity.****  **
_**3.  From 1746 to the present days**_**. Excellent continuity and completeness (in spite of two gaps from 1793 to 1799  and 1817 to 1821). This missing data will to be replaced by observations from Avignon, Montpellier or Nîmes.**

**The data of the periods 1 and 2 (1717-1730 and 1730-1739, 1743) are in electronic form, and can be sent to you by e-mail. The digitising of the daily data (thermometer, pressure, state of the sky, rain) from Catelin le Cadet (43 years) is in progress. But is a large task: 2 observations of temperature and 3 of pressure every day (about 78 000 data). For Pezenas, Silvabelle and Thulis, the digitising has not been performed. In the nineteenth century, the daily and monthly data were published from 1823 or so. The daily observations of temperature are actually to be digitised by Meteo-France, but not the pressures.  I possess the latest.**

## Thoughts on Comparing Sensitivity of Different Sites

- Jonathan Link
- Columbia University
- Cal Poly Meeting
- March 15, 2004

## Assumptions and Considerations

-  The U.S. consensus is to aim for sensitivity at the 0.01 level
-  There are currently three “proposals” which aim for this sensitivity: Braidwood, Daya Bay and Diablo Canyon
-  In February I presented an attempt at a “site figure of merit”
-  All of the above proposals use the same far baseline and the maximum reactor powers differ by at most 70%
- Depth is the Most Interesting Comparison
-  How much is gained by greater depth?
-  When is sensitivity limited by a shallow site?

## Characterizing the Backgrounds: Muons

- The muon rate is lower under a flat overhead than under a mountain.
- As the rate goes down the spectrum hardens.
- This leads to a higher production of neutrons and radioactive isotopes.

## Cosmic Muon Production of Neutrons

- Neutron production is done according to Wang *et al.*
- Between 450 mwe (flat overhead) and 800 mwe (mountain) is less than a factor of 2.
- Flat to flat is a factor of 3.6 decrease in neutron production rate.

## 9Li + 8He Production

| Depth | Mountain | Flat |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 450 mwe | 0.12/ton/day | 0.066/ton/day |
| 800 mwe | 0.036/ton/day | 0.018/ton/day |

- 9Li + 8He Production

- 16% of 8He and 50% of 9Li decay to β+neutron
- The relative production rates of 8He and 9Li are not known
- Coincidence Rates (/ton/day)

- Isotope production is calculated following Hagner *et al.*

| Depth | Mountain | Flat |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 450 mwe | 0.019 to 0.06 | 0.011 to 0.033 |
| 800 mwe | 0.006 to 0.018 | 0.003 to 0.009 |

## Conclusions and Future Work

- From 450 mwe flat to 800 mwe mountain is a approximately a factor of two in correlated backgrounds.
- When is sensitivity limited by a shallow site?
- Needs more work.  Will depend on the quality of the active and passive shielding, and the ability to identify showering muons.  Also, it will depend on whether the backgrounds are a limiting error.

## Active Passive Veto System

## Characterizing BG with Vetoed Events

- From CHOOZ

- interactions

- ?

- Matching distributions from vetoed events outside the signal region to the non-veto events will provide an estimate of correlated backgrounds that evade the veto.

- Proton recoils

- Other Useful Distributions:
-  Spatial separation prompt and delayed events
- Faster neutrons go farther
-  Radial distribution of events
- BGs accumulate on the outside of the detector.
