## ICCVAM Eye TestsComments to the Expert Panel II.Presented ByInstitute for In Vitro SciencesJanuary 12, 2005

## Items Addressed

- How does the addition of  histological evaluation affect the performance statistics ?
- Accuracy Vs. Concordance
- Statistical evaluation of new test methods

## BCOP Performance in HO/EC Study - Addition of Histology 

## Histology of EC/HO Materials

- Sodium Oxalate

## Quinacrine

- Control

- Depth of injury from the quinacrine exposure extended through the endothelial layer but did not lead to any appreciable corneal swelling

## Change of Statistics with Addition of Histology

## Accuracy Vs. Concordance

- “_Accuracy_ expresses the closeness of test results to a “true” value” or accepted reference value - paraphrased from ASTM Standard Practice
- To my mind an accepted reference value must be of high quality, e.g. a precise analytical measurement.
- Many of us think the “true” value is the human result, with the animal only an imprecise surrogate.
- What we are trying to convey with the statistics presented today is the performance of the in vitro method relative to the rabbit (for eye irritation). We are creating a set of “performance statistics” to describe this.
- ...and within the performance statistics are measures of concordance with the rabbit test results.

## Important Reference on the Use of Statistics to Understand Performance

- Feinstein, AR. (1975) Clinical Biostatistics. XXXI. On the sensitivity, specificity, and discrimination of diagnostic tests. Clin. Pharmacol. Therap. 17:104-116.
- Dr. Feinstein gives an excellent discussion concerning the need of physicians (or toxicologists) to use a set of statistics which help them understand the meaning of a test result (how predictive is the result?). This is predictive value, quite different from sensitivity and specificity. Both statistics, sadly, are highly influenced by prevalence - the percentage of positive materials (or diseased patients) in the general population or in the validation set.

## MCFast  to  C and C++

- Moussa Souaré, Electrical Engineering
- The University of Akron, OH
- Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
- Lynn Garren, Computing Division at Fermilab.
- *

## Research Objective

-    Conversion of portions of MCfast, a    complex fast Monte Carlo program,
-    from Fortran to C and C++

## Background

- MCFast is a fast Monte Carlo program
- Need an Absoft compiler

##  Definitions

- Monte Carlo
- Geant
- MCFast

## BTev detector.

## Procedure  

- Add counters to determine how many times the subroutine has been called.
- Learn to read Fortran code
- Rewrite Fortran code to C
- Create C and C++ headers
- Test different codes

## Example of Fortran code

## Example of C code

## Discussion

- In Fortran
- Variables are passed by address
- case insensitive
- Arrays are column-major
- Strings contain length

## In C

- Variables are passed by value
- Case sensitive
- Arrays are row-major
- Strings are null terminated (char pointers)

## Relations between Fortran and C 

| Fortran  | C  | size(bits)  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| INTEGER*1  | signed char  | 8  |
| INTEGER*2  | short  | 16  |
| INTEGER  | int  | 32  |
| REAL  | float  | 32  |
| DOUBLE PRECISION  | double  | 64  |
| COMPLEX  | 2 float struct  | 64  |
| DOUBLE COMPLEX  | 2 double struct  | 128  |
| SUBROUTINE SUBR( )  | void subr_( )  |    |
| FUNCTION FN( )  | void fn_( ) |    |
| COMMON /CB/data(10)  | structs |   |

## Relational and Logical Operators 

|  | Fortran  | Example  | C/C++  | Example  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Equal to  | .EQ.  | IF (A.EQ.B)...  | ==  | if(a==b)...  |
| Not Equal to  | .NE.  | IF (A.NE.B)...  | !=  | if(a!=b)...  |
| Less Than  | .LT.  | IF (A.LT.B)...  | <  | If(a<b)...  |
| Greater Than  | .GT.  | IF (A.GT.B)...  | >  | If(a>b)...  |
| Less Than or Equal to  | .LE.  | IF (A.LE.B)...  | <=  | if (a<=b)...  |
| Greater Than or Equal to  | .GE.  | IF(A.GE.B)...  | >=  | if(a>=b)...  |
| Logical Not  | .NOT.  | IF(.NOT.A)...  | !  | If(!a)...  |
| Logical AND  | .AND.  | IF(A.AND.B)...  | &&  | if (a && b)...  |
| Logical OR  | .OR.  | IF(A.OR.B)...  | ||  | if(a || b)...  |

## Conclusion

- 	Rewriting Fortran code to C and C++ will
- certainly be economically beneficial, because
- there is no need to purchase a new compiler.
- 	In addition, this change makes some part of
- the utilities of MCFast callable from Fortran, C
- and C++.
- 	During the rewriting process, care should
- be observed when dealing with double arrays.

## University of Alabama MRSEC William H. Butler DMR-0213985 S. Kang, Z. Jia, S. Shi, D.E. Nikles, and J.W. HarrellEasy Axis Orientation of Chemically Synthesized L10 FePt Nanoparticles

- Chemically synthesized FePt nanoparticles have attracted considerable interest because of their potential for ultra-high density recording media. The synthesis originally reported by the IBM group of Sun and co-workers results in randomly oriented, chemically disordered particles that are magnetically unstable [1]. High-temperature annealing is required to convert the particles to the high-anisotropy, chemically ordered L10 phase. Fully ordered particles have the potential for one bit per particle recording with storage densities nearly 1000 times that of current state-of-the-art hard disk media. One of the most difficult materials issues is to produce an array of chemically ordered nanoparticles with aligned magnetic easy axes. The most obvious approach, thermally annealing in a large magnetic field, does not work. We have recently succeeded in obtaining easy-axis alignment using an alternative approach similar to that used by the magnetic tape industry [2]. Our method is to chemically synthesize FePt nanoparticles in the L10 phase, apply a dispersion of the particles to a substrate, and allow the dispersion to dry in an in-plane magnetic field. Partially ordered nanoparticles with diameter ~6-7 nm and HC ~ 1.3 kOe Oe were synthesized by modifying the IBM method by using a high-temperature solvent and refluxing at ~360oC. The particles were dispersed in a commercial PVC binder and aligned in a magnetic field. The figures below show the inplane parallel and perpendicular loops and the angular dependence of remanence for a 20 kOe drying field. This is the first report of significant easy-axis orientation of chemically synthesized L10 FePt nanoparticles. A model has been developed that is in semiquantitative agreement with the measured dependence of the orientation on the orienting field.

- Next steps; re-institute measurements in CalCOFI lines.
- New supplemental funding likely required

- Economics of Ocean Acidification in CC RE
- To the extent that effects of ocean acidification on fish species availability can be predicted:
- Existing research project on 1981-2005 fish landings, vessel gear etc may provide economic consequences of OA.
- Next step
- Need ecological forecast model of OA effects.

## Observation of Plastic Molecular Dynamics in GlassSabyasachi Sen, University of CA – Davis, DMR 0603933 

**	****Prof. Sabyasachi Sen and graduate student Erica Gjersing have recently discovered the existence of plastic dynamics in a molecular As-P-sulfide glass using variable temperature ****31****P Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy.**
**	****Typically rotational and translation motion of molecules are frozen in below glass transition temperature. Sen and Gjersing have observed isotropic tumbling motion (see movie on next slide) of the constituent molecules in their glass that is detectable even at ~ 70 K below the glass transition temperature ! **
**	****Their results indicate that the translationally frozen molecules in the glass are performing rotational dynamics, much like what’s observed in plastic crystals such as buckyball (C****60****) except in the latter the molecular positions show long-range ordering on a crystal lattice. **
**	**
**	**

## Tumbling dynamics of PAs3S3 

**Tumbling dynamics of PAs****3****S****3**** **
**molecules: S (yellow); As (3 bottom purple) ; P (1 top purple)**

**The presence of this novel dynamical disorder provides the much sought after evidence in favor of a dynamical rather than thermodynamic origin of glass transition. This research may have strong impact in identifying novel plastic glassy materials with liquid-like conductivity and diffusivity while solid-like mechanical strength and physical integrity for applications in the areas of solid-state fuel cell or solar cell, remote sensing etc.  **

## Addressing Variability in  Mercury Stack Emissions

**MACT Working Meeting **
**Washington, DC**
**December 18, 2001**

## Method of Analysis 

**Builds on EPRI’s analysis of the Part III (stack) mercury ICR data.**
**Regression based - uses chlorine in coal as primary explanatory variable.**
**Makes use of the Part II (coal) ICR data.**

## ICR Part II

- Coal Data
- Hg, Cl, S

- ICR Part III
- Test Data,
- % removal

- EPRI ICR
- Report
- Equations

- Predicted
- Hg
- Emissions

## Computational Steps

**Using the appropriate EPRI regression model, compute a Hg emission factor for each Part II coal analysis.**
**Rank order the factors in ascending order.**
**Compute percent ******** each given value and plot results.**

## Regression Model -Spray Dryer/Fabric Filter

**Percent mercury removed is given by:**
**	****	****	****%R = 0.2854*Ln(Cl****2****) - 1.1302**
**Where:**
**	****%R = ****	****percent of mercury removed relative ****	****	****to that contained in the coal**
**	****Cl****2**** = ****	****concentration of chlorine in coal.**

## Slide 6

## Slide 7

## Slide 8

## Regression Model -Fabric Filter

**Percent mercury removal is given by:**
**	****	****	****%R = 0.1816*Ln(Cl****2****) - 0.4287**
**Where:**
**	****%R = ****	****percent of mercury removed relative ****	****	****to coal concentration**
**	****Cl****2**** = ****	****concentration of chlorine in coal.**

## Slide 10

## Slide 11

## Limitations and Observations

**The regression model is not a perfect fit.**
**Quantity of data is uneven ****(e.g., 418 samples for Sammis and 41 for Mecklenburg).**
**However, much consistency among the sites (i.e., the emission rate that can be  achieved 90% of the time is much higher than the one that can be achieved 50% of the time).**** **

## Transition Plan for NASA Adoption of ESD Association standard ANSI/ESD S20.20-1999 to replace NASA ESD standard NASA-STD-8739.7

- Garry McGuire
- Code 306
- Goddard Space Flight Center
- Greenbelt, MD 20771
- June, 2002

## NASA ESD Standard toVCS Transition Plan

- Current Situation:  NASA-STD-8739.7 was cancelled _*for new procurements*_ effective February 27, 2002.*
- ESD Association document ANSI/ESD S20.20-1999 cited as its replacement.
- Need to define training policy.

- *To see the cancellation notice, go to:
- 	http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/codeq/doctree/doctreed.htm

## Key Points

- The NASA Workmanship Technical Committee considers the default requirements listed in Table 1 of S20.20 to be equivalent in intent to the requirements in NASA-STD-8739.7.
- For the most part, any ESD control program that complies with NASA-STD-8739.7 meets or exceeds S20.20.
- S20.20 is intended to be tailored to meet the needs of individual organizations or programs.
- It is the responsibility of a particular organization or program to modify the default requirements where necessary.

## Differences

- There are 3 specific differences between S20.20 and the NASA standard that may or may not be of concern to certain programs. However, after a lengthy review and many discussions, the NASA Workmanship Technical Committee does not see these as reliability issues.
- S20.20 requires recurrent training, and a verification schedule for ESD protective measures, but does not define maximum time intervals for either.  The NASA standard requires bi-annual retraining, and Table 7-1 defines verification frequencies.
- S20.20 does not place a hard lower limit on relative humidity, although paragraph 6.2.3.2 does mention that the “Propensity for charge generation and accumulation increases with a reduction in humidity.”

## Differences (cont’d)

- S20.20 places the upper limit for static dissipative surfaces at 1x109 /sq rather than 1x1012 as defined in the NASA standard.

## Training Policy

- Employees shall be trained in accordance with the specific standard identified in the contract:
- Training for NASA-STD-8739.7 will remain available.
- Training for ANSI/ESD S20.20-1999 is available from many sources.
- Programs or organizations that identify different requirements from S20.20 (lesser or greater) shall train to the specific implementation requirements.
- For organizations with multiple contracts in one plant, the NASA programs are encouraged to make whatever agreements are necessary to allow the organization to implement a single ESD control program.

## Irrigation Scheduler Program-EOT Soil and Water Conservation District

## OBJECTIVES OF SCHEDULER PROGRAM:

- The Irrigation Scheduler Management Program is designed to give the farmer a second opinion on in-field soil moisture status that can assist the farmer’s decision on if and when to irrigate.
- Prevent crop loss due to insufficient moisture.
- Prevent ground water contamination due to over application of water and leaching of nutrients.
- **The success of the Scheduler Project depends on the working relationship between the farmer and the technician.

## SERVICES PROVIDED BY TECHNICIAN:

- Provide weekly visits to check soil moisture (includes a rain gauge for the season).
- Furnish weekly computer soil moisture graphs along with watering recommendations.
- Access to the daily crop water "ET" telephone message-(218)346-4260 Ext.119 (Also available via radio...Chad Moyer....Wadena (KWAD, KNSP,KKWS).
- A year-end summary (graph) showing irrigation total (s), rainfall amount, and potential leaching events.

## Responsibilities of the Irrigator:

- The farmer needs to notify the SWCD office of weekly irrigation and rainfall amounts before 9:00 AM each assigned day at 346-4260 ext. 120 or can be e-mailed.
- Inform technician of crop emergence dates.
- Spraying dates (**when** **pesticide application may restrict re-entry).**
- Harvesting dates/Alfalfa cutting dates.

## WHAT DOES THE PROGRAM COST?

- Time...for reading rain gauges and reporting rainfall and irrigation amounts to the technician (done weekly).
- Cost would be $200.00 per field/crop or $350.00 for 2 fields/crops.
- If a 2 year contract is signed, the cost of scheduler services would be $175.00 per year per field.
****** The SWCD defines a field as having only one crop on it.

## HOW DO YOU SIGN UP FOR THE PROGRAM?

- Provide your name, address, phone number, township and section number of the field and the crop to be grown.
- Complete a contract with the irrigation scheduler technician.
- Make full payment within 30 days of billing. Payments are to be made to the East Otter Tail Soil & Water Conservation District with a 1 1⁄2 % interest charge per month being added after 30 days.

## QUESTIONS?

- If you have question now......ASK
- If you have questions later.....Call 218-346-4260 and ask for Arnold Rethemeier or stop in and visit at the office at 801 Jenny Avenue in Perham.

## MNM Fatal 2008-02

- Handling Material Accident
- January 25, 2008 (Missouri)
- Lime Operation
- Maintenance Man
- 36 years old
- 1 year 42 weeks experience

## Overview

- The victim was fatally injured when he was hit on
- the head by a pry bar that fell from an 80-foot
- high elevated work platform.  He was wearing a
- hard hat at the time of the accident and was bent
- over shoveling.  The pry bar struck him behind the
- hard hat.  The victim was hospitalized and died of
- his injuries later that day.

## Slide 3

## Causal Factor

- A risk analysis was not performed to identify all
- possible hazards and ensure that controls were in
- place to protect persons performing work at the
- silo bucket elevator.   The top work platform was
- not cleaned up before maintenance tasks were
- begun.  The victim was allowed to work
- underneath a work platform where other persons
- were performing maintenance tasks using hand
- tools.

## Best Practices

- Review maintenance procedures to ensure all possible hazards have been identified and appropriate controls are in place to protect persons. Stop, Look, Analyze, and Manage (SLAM) each task.
- Establish policies to ensure that barricades or warning signs are installed to prohibit access and protect persons from falling object hazards.
- Ensure that persons are removed when work is being performed overhead.
- Keep workplaces clean and free of spillage.
