- Confidential

## Experience from providing Wi-Fi in trains

**Currently, TorpedoRay is installed in many trains in Europe**
**1-way satellite reception with GPRS return**
**Current experience**
- Service availability 50%-60%
-     (no GPRS), still people are
-     happy (like the dial-up days)
- Cost of $100K or more per train
- Cellular connectivity,multiple
-      operators and roaming
**Strong need for 2 – way satellite**
**3G and other technologies don’t excel at 300 Km per hour **

- Confidential

## What is required from a mobile broadband service?

**Low profile antenna – 6’’ or less**
- Aesthetics for light-truck owner: market acceptance   appearance, appearance, appearance
- Garage height
- Wind resistance
**Seamless integration with the car**
- In-motion versus pop-up
- 1 cable installation
- Power consumption
- Small footprint in the vehicle
- Easy installation and maintenance

- Confidential

## Limitation of low-profile antennas

**Low height – low gain – wide beam width  (elevation)**
**The need to track the satellite in a moving vehicle on a bumpy road**
**Polarization control (and tracking)**
**Skew angle – antenna cannot match the geostationary arc**

- Confidential

## What is required to stimulate the industry?

**We recognize the FCC is creating an environment supportive to the industry**
**Building antennas that will work with multiple suppliers and multiple hub operators to create a multitude of distribution channels**
**Competitive environment requires quick approvals for license applications otherwise process will not start**
**Streamline process by using off-axis PFD instead of antenna sidelobe patterns**
**Due to the low antenna gains, high hub to remote PSDs are required.  If the increase of the limits from 6dBW/4KHz would be a tremendous help.**

## Old Search Screen

## Changes to Search Screen

**Text Search Section:**
- Consolidated the Summary Statement and Abstract and Title searches to a single
**Text Search** section on the search screen. You will now identify the text to search
- on and then use the checkboxes to indicate which one or more places to search for
- the specified text: **Abstract**, **SS**, and/or **Title**. You will only put one term in each of the two text boxes provided because the text searches are so database intensive, they will not perform adequately with a list of terms to search for.
- Added the **Exact Phrase Match** option. Currently the text searches are “containing” type searches, we will now provide the ability to search on exact words/phrases
- (e.g.: “apples and bananas” search request will NOT match on project titles containing “pineapples and bananas” when exact phrase match is selected.
**Crisp Search Section:**
- Changed the **CRISP terms** search to allow a comma delimited list of terms
- to be submitted. There are actually two input boxes so that you can look for all grants with CRISP TERMS a,b,c AND e,f,g  meaning grants with (one of a or b or c) AND (one of e or f or g). Added the **Exact CRISP Term Match** option. Same idea as for the text searches.

- Marshall Space Flight Center

**New Instrumentation Technologies for Testing **
**the Performance of Solid Rocket Motor Nozzles**

**ACCOMPLISHMENTS**
- In the past radiography was used to verify the attachment of sensors to solid materials;  however, this was not an effective method for testing the sensors that are installed in large aerospace systems or remote and inaccessible areas.  The Loop Current Step Response (LCSR) test was adapted for this purpose.  The test was used to qualitatively measure the dynamic characteristics of sensors attached to or embedded in solid materials and thereby verifies the attachment of the sensors.
**COMMERCIALIZATION**
- Contractual talks are underway with a nuclear utility to evaluate the attachment of surface mounted resistance temperature detector’s (RTD) used in a pressurized water nuclear reactor to insure that measurements recorded from the sensors are accurate.
- Commercial in-plant testing has been performed by AMS in a nuclear power plant in Europe to verify the installation of fuel thermocouples in the core of the reactor and to ensure that excessive fuel temperature is detected in a timely manner to avoid accidents.

- Work In Progress

- Parag Mhashilkar, Fermilab

- Augustl 14, 2006

## Resource Selection Service

- Gather the information about the job and resources and make decision where the job should run.
- Dereference abstract attributes to bind to the job during match-making or execution time.
- Use Case for DZero
- Example, site can be certified to run p20 Monte Carlo. Site needs to advertise this information as a part of the GlueSchema. Resource selector matches the job based on the information available.
- The Resource Selector is a component of the OSG Job Management Infrastructure.

## Architecture ...

- Generic Information Provider (GIP) describes resources in LDIF format using GLUE Schema.
- CEMon provides flexible plug-in mechanism to translate classads.
- Information Gatherer (IG)
- Subscribes to several CEMons to gather the information about the CEs and advertises it to several condor pools.
- It acts as an adapter between CEMons and Condor matchmaker.
- Support for callouts to external match-making functions. These functions can make match-making more extensible.

- Parag Mhashilkar, Fermilab

- Augustl 14, 2006

## Work In Progress

- Resource broker has been deployed on integration test bed at Fermilab. We are working with OU to do the integration testing for ReSS.
- Testing/Studying the scalability of IG and ReSS infrastructure. Focus is on testing the match making infrastructure submitting O(1) job/sec for 1 hour.
- Plans to do p20 ‘primary processing’ with Samgrid via OSG. This will involve –
- Number of events: 300,000,000
- CPU hours: 5.8 Million (4 month job with 2,000 CPU's)
- In future -
- Support for tagging certified sites and making resource selection more manageable.
- Support new VOs

## US ICD-9/ICD-10 Comparability for Injury

**Centers for Disease Control and Prevention**
**National Center for Health Statistics**

**Margaret Warner, Ph.D.**
- Office of Analysis and Epidemiology
- ICE on Injury Statistics, Vienna, June 2004

**US ICD-9/ICD-10 Comparability for Injury**

**Notes:**
Comments: Kappa 
ARI- how available is the file?  When do you anticipate the final report.

## The U.S. ICD-9/ICD-10 Comparability Study

- Purpose
- To measure the effect of ICD-10 on cause of death trends
- To provide a check on the ICD-10 automated coding systems

## The U.S. ICD-9/ICD-10 Comparability Study

- Preliminary results published in 2001
- National Vital Statistics Reports vol 49 no 2
- based on about 80 percent of 1996 mortality records
- Final comparability data include all 1996 multiple cause mortality
- ICD-10 information is available for more than 99 percent, some known errors in the data file
- File will be available to public

## Products from NCHS

**Produce a final report on ICD-9/ICD-10 comparability for all deaths (future)**
**Maintain (in-house) updated version of file with corrections and modifications **
**For injury: **
**CR are available for cells and marginals of EC matrix**
**Comparability for specific nature of injury codes (e.g. TBI)**

## Development of Comparability EC Matrix

- Majority of comparisons on cells and marginals of EC matrix
- ICD-10 matrix developed to be consistent with ICD-9 matrix where possible
- Some movement of codes based on changes to ICD-10 (e.g. MVTC) and updates (e.g. drowning)
- For trends, ICD-9 External cause matrix adjusted to match ICD-10 matrix

## Comparability ratios different from 1 expressed as percent

- -20

- -10

- 0

- 10

- 20

- 30

- 40

- 50

- 60

**Cut/pierce**

**Drowning**

**Machinery**

**MVTC**

**Natural/Environ**

**Poisoning**

**Struck by, against**

**Suffocation**

**Other spec**

**Other specified NEC**

**Unspecified**

## Example: Falls 

- CR = 1.0015 or .2 % increase
- Total ICD-9   = 11,483
- Total ICD-10 = 11,500
- Agreement			  10,840	89 %
- Outflows (ICD-9 & not ICD-10)      643	  5.3%
- Inflows (ICD-10 & not ICD-9)	       660	  5.4%

## More injuries in ICD-10 than ICD-9 

- All injuries, Comparability Ratio = 1.0159
- 2,391 more deaths with underlying cause of injury in ICD-10 than ICD-9
- In ICD-10, 33% of 2,391 were classified as unintentional suffocations
- In ICD-9, 17% of 2,391 were classified as Pneumonia
- Change in selection rules for underlying cause

## Conclusion

- On web in near future-- Death and death rates for ICD-9 comparability modified EC matrix by age and sex
- Examples of how to deal with trend data in many publications from NCHS (e.g. Health, US)
- Guidelines with examples on how to do analysis available
- Lots more work here!!!

## Interactions Between State Climatologists and the NWS

- Jim Angel
- Illinois State Climatologist
- Illinois State Water Survey

## History of the State Climate Program

- State climate services – 1800s
- Absorbed into USWB – late 1800s
- Ag focus until the 1930s
- Decline until 1973 when terminated
- Recovery by individual states since 1973

## Current Status

- Programs in 47 states and Puerto Rico
- Most located at universities with a few in state agencies
- Most SCs have a Ph.D. in a climate-related field
- Organized at the national level as the American Association of State Climatologists (AASC)

## Roles of the State Climatologist

- Use observations from various networks for climate monitoring
- Disseminate climate information
- Show value of climate information (including seasonal forecasts)

## Roles of the State Climatologist

- Perform impact assessments and examine noteworthy events
- Conduct applied research

## AASC

- Organized after cut by Feds in 1973
- Includes SCs, RCCs, NCDC, and NWS
- Moving forward in recognizing active programs (ARSCO):
- Strongly encourages interaction with local NWS offices

## State-wide Focus

- Illinois is covered by five different WSFOs, only two are in Illinois
- However, many end-users of climate information are focused at the state level or sub-state regions that don’t coincide with NWS office boundaries.

## Institutional Memory of Climate

- SCs have been in their state on average for 10-15 years, some 20-40 years
- Host institutions have been around even longer
- Accumulate lots of historical weather records and climate research for their state

## Local Networks

- Most states have them
- For example, Illinois Climate Network
- 18 sites
- Hourly and daily data:
- Temperature, precipitation, winds
- Soil temperature, soil moisture, solar radiation
- In operation for over 15 years -- climatology

## Things to consider

- SCs can be your friend – but they may be limited by time and resources
- SCs have a wealth of climate information and experience with climate services
- SCs have seen the ebb and flow within NWS on climate services

## Interactions

- Visits to NWS offices and vice versa
- Sharing of research and data
- Promote Coop program
- Address operational issues on observations
- Design of next generation of observation systems
- Internships/career guidance

## Opportunities

- Education and outreach
- State-specific, not “snowstorms” but “snowstorms in MN”
- “local” research projects (e.g., snow or El Nino)
- Climate/weather impacts
- “Forts” project
- Operational products like the U.S. Drought Monitor
