**5. Universities Space Research Association**

- The Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) mission is a follow-up on the successful EGRET experiment onboard the CGRO. It will provide a high-sensitivity survey of the sky in high-energy ****-rays, and will perform detailed observations of selected persistent and transient sources. There are two experiments onboard GLAST - a Large Area Telescope (LAT) and the GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM). The primary mission of the GBM instrument is to support the LAT in observing ****-ray bursts (GRB's) by providing low-energy measurements with high time resolution and rapid burst locations over a large (> 8 *sr*) field of view. The GBM will complement the LAT measurements by observing GRBs in the energy range 10 *keV* to 30 *MeV*, the region of the prominent spectral turnover of GRB's. An important objective of GBM is to compute the locations of GRB sources on-board the spacecraft and quickly communicate them to the LAT and to the ground to allow rapid follow-up observations at space- and ground-based observatories. This information may be used to re-point the spacecraft towards particularly interesting burst sources that occurred outside the LAT field of view.The GBM consists of 14 uncollimated scintillation detectors coupled to phototubes to measure ****-ray energies and arrival times. Two different detector types are used to obtain spectral information over a wide energy range: 12 NaI detectors (10 keV to 1 MeV), and 2 BGO detectors (150 *keV* to 30 *MeV*). The detectors are distributed around the GLAST spacecraft to provide a large unobstructed field of view. The 12 NaI detectors are mounted with different orientations to provide directional information for use in locating GRB sources.

## Mitigated FONSI

- What’s an EA?
- What’s a FONSI?
- A “mitigated FONSI?”
- Is it different from a normal EA/FONSI process?
- What’s the bottom line?

## Environmental Assessment

- A document ...
- ... that is prepared for an action where the significance of the social, economic, and environmental impacts are not clearly established
- 23 CFR 771.115(c)
- 40 CFR 1508.9

## Environmental Assessments

- Concise public document
- Briefly provide evidence and analysis
- Include brief discussions of ...
- Not contain long descriptions or detailed data
- CEQ suggested page limits
- Not mini EISs
- 40 CFR 1508.9

## FONSI

**Finding Of No Significant Impact**
- A document which briefly presents why an action does not have a significant impact
- It must include and reference the environmental assessment
- CEQ Q&A #37A
- 40 CFR 1508.13

## “Mitigated FONSI”

- Rely on mitigation to reduce the impact   below significance “threshold”
- Forego the preparation of an EIS by changes to the project or mitigation measures

## Is it Allowed? Defensible?

- CEQ Guidance 40 Q&A
- FHWA Policy
- Case law
- Standard of review and determination

## What the Courts Have Said

**4 factors**
- Must take a “hard look” at the problem
- Must identify the relevant area of environmental concern
- Make a convincing case that the impact is  not significant
- Where there is true significant impact,  changes in the project sufficiently reduce the impacts to less than significant

**Notes:**
The eighth circuit, Audubon Soc. of Cent. Arkansas v. Dailey, 977 F.2d 428 (8th Cir. Ark. 1992), also follows Cabinet Mountains:
"The District of Columbia Circuit has listed four factors to be considered in  [**17] determining whether an agency's decision to forego an EIS is arbitrary and capricious:(1) whether the agency took a 'hard look' at the problem;  (2) whether the agency identified the relevant areas of environmental concern;(3) as to the problems studied and identified, whether the agency made a convincing case that the impact was insignificant; and(4) if there was impact of true significance, whether the agency convincingly established that changes in the project sufficiently reduced it to a minimum.
Cabinet Mountains Wilderness v. Peterson 222 U.S. App. D.C. 228, 685 F.2d 678, 681-82 (D.C. Cir. 1982); Sierra Club v. United States Dept. of Transp., 243 U.S. App. D.C. 302, 753 F.2d 120, 127 (D.C. Cir. 1985). 

## The Determining Factors  

**Standard of review and determination**
- Not an arbitrary and capricious decision
- Mitigation measures will actually be implemented
- Mitigation measures will actually work
- Public and resource agency involvement
- Scoping

**Notes:**
Concerns 
Less of a hard look where impacts are significant
Little or no (less) public involvement 
Little or no (less) interagency coordination

- Evidence that pQCD fits data for colliders down to pT=2 GeV.
- This can be further studied using RHIC pp data from runs 02 (and 03).

- Charged and neutral pion spectra are sensitive to the Gluon Polarization.

- Input distributions:

-                                   will largely cancel in the asymmetry.
-                               o Variations in the unpolarized parton distributions
-                                   have little effect on the asymmetry.

## Initial Perturbations for NCEP EPS  

-  Breeding:  Analysis error variances at 500mb are specified in breeding mask,
-       not flow dependent.
-  ETKF:  Analysis perts are  based on ensemble Kalman filter; real-time
-     observations can be used.  But for real obs, large variation of obs number
-     is hard to deal with.
-  ET:  Operational mask in breeding used to specify the initial analysis error variances;
-     computationally cheaper than ETKF;   less influence from the variation of obs number;
-     high dimension of ensemble subspace; testing for possible implementation.
-   Future Development:   the analysis covariance matrix will be extracted from
-     operational  data  assimilation system GSI.  The observational data impact will be
-     automatically  reflected in the analysis covariance matrix.

## Bicontinuous Nanoporous Plastics Marc Hillmyer – University of Minnesota (DMR-0094144)

- Block copolymers are excellent precursors to nanoporous materials.1 Selective chemical etching of the minority component in a self-assembled AB diblock copolymer results in a nanoporous version of the majority component. We have demonstrated this in cylinder-forming polystyrene-polylactide (PS-PLA) diblock copolymers using PLA as the etchable block.2 We showed that orientation of the cylinders was required for the generation of macroscopic nanoporous samples. Etching of the gyroid morphology has been more challenging due to limited regions of stability in the AB diblock morphology diagram. Recently, we have shown that by vitrification of a PS-PLA diblock copolymer that forms the gyroid phase at high temperatures, this interesting bicontinuous morphology can be trapped at room temperature. Subsequent degradation of the PLA component by chemical etching (with aqueous HI) gave nanoporous PS monoliths with bicontinuous channels.3 These materials may prove to be very useful in applications associated with selective separations and nanomaterial templating.

- Standards for diagnostic electrocardiographs

**Notes:**
Welcome to GE, to learn about our $1B start-up – GE Medical Systems Information Technologies. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share our vision, strategy and thoughts with you here today.  

We title our story in recognition of the fact that today patients moves faster through a healthcare episode than does their medical information... doctors and nurses continuously scrambling to assemble the medical record... it is therefore all about “information at the speed of life.”

## Some history of ECG standards

- track medicine and technology

**1967 - American Heart Association, Kossman**
**1975 - American Heart Association, Pipberger **
**1983 - AAMI / EC11 first edition**
**1990 - American Heart Association, Bailey**
**1991 - AAMI / EC11 second edition**
**1999 - IEC 62D-60601-3-2 draft**
**2001 - AAMI / EC11 second edition, reaffirmed**

- AAMI = Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation
- IEC = International Electrotechnical Commission

## About AAMI standards

**AAMI standards are voluntary**
**Referee tests**
**consensus (industry,  users,  academic/government)**
**requirement  vs.  disclosure**

## AAMI EC11 diagnostic electrocardiographs

-  less standardization for measurement

**labeling requirements**
**operator’s manual, service manual**
**performance requirements**
**operating conditions**
**signal accuracy**
**safety**
**measurement accuracy**
***EC11 does not cover any analysis***
***EC57-1998  cardiac rhythms, ST measurement algorithms***
***IEC 60601-2-51 (draft) does regard QT measurement accuracy***
- ±12 msec mean, 10 msec sd, 19 calibration ECGs

## Comparison of Florida Scrub-Jay Juvenile Production in Different Landscapes

- Erin Allman, SLSTP 2004 Ecology Trainee
- Southeast Missouri State University, Cape Girardeau, MO
- Geoffrey Carter, Principal Investigator
- Dynamac Corporation, Kennedy Space Center, FL

- The purpose of this study is to understand habitat needs of the Florida Scrub-Jay. Habitat loss and degradation threatens this bird with extinction. Comparing juvenile production in different landscapes facilitates understanding about demographic habitat relationships.  This knowledge will help in habitat restoration projects on Kennedy Space Center.

## Justification and Background

- The Florida Scrub-Jay is the only endemic bird to the state of Florida and is threatened with extinction.
- Their habitat is becoming fragmented and degraded making it hard to have nest success.
- Two study sites were selected because of the difference in habitat.
- The optimal habitat is dry oak scrub measuring between 120cm and 170cm with open sandy areas.
- This habitat is controlled by natural and prescribed fires.

- Figure 1. The Happy Creek study site has become dense and overgrown due to fire suppression.

- Figure 2. The Tel-4 study site has an optimal habitat for the Florida Scrub-Jay to breed and survive.

## Methods

- Peanuts were used to bring the birds in close enough to see the bands on the legs.
- Juveniles were selected to count because they are a measure of overall demographic success.
- Counting juveniles measures the success of each breeding pair and gives an estimated number of birds that will be breeding in the upcoming years.
- The number of juveniles from each study site are compared to see if they are significantly different.
- Significance was determined using the Mann-Whitney Test.

- Figure 3.  The adult Florida Scrub-Jay has a blue head and back with some gray.

- Figure 4.  The juvenile Florida Scrub-Jay has a brown head and back and is nutritionally independent from the parents. (Donna Oddy)

## Related Reading

- Tel-4 (T4) produced more juveniles per breeding pair than Happy Creek (HC).
- T4 averaged 0.929 juveniles and HC only averaged 0.231.
- The habitat at T4 had more openings possibly helping the birds to spot predators more effectively.

## Detector Aging 

- Wieman
- RNC
- LBNL
- TPC Review
- Friday 6 October 2006

## Wire aging

- Present condition
- Projection
- Chamber trips

## Currently no evidence for aging

- Yuri Fisyak dE/Dx gain calibration is puzzling, Inner sector shows gain increase with time, but outer shows reduction.  In any case no sign of aging
- Blair Stringfellow estimate of integrated charge on the inner wires is 0.0005 coul/cm so far
- So, don’t expect aging yet since this is factor 200 below 0.1 coul/cm, a number where one might expect aging in P10

**Wire gain as function of time**

**Inner +5% gain/year**

**Outer -1.5% gain/year**

**Yuri Fisyak**

## Wire aging projection from measured wire currents

- From max measured wire currents in pp operation (0.07 nA/cm inner most wire)
- A gate closed component – depends on L and background
- A gate open component – depends on L and background times gating rate
- 260 yr before reach aging onset of 0.1 coul/cm at current rate
- 29 yr before reach 0.1 coul/cm with 2008 L of 80x1030 cm-2Hz-1 and a gate rate of 1 kHz
- 6 yr with RHIC II 400x1030 cm-2Hz-1
- From max wire currents in AuAu operation (also 0.07 nA/cm inner most wire), central trigger
- Assume large interaction track density dominates over background and pileup so then wire current scales as gate frequency, no dependence on L or background
- 320 yr before reach 0.1 coul/cm at 2004 gate frequency, 75 Hz
- 24 yr before reach 0.1 coul/cm at 1 kHz gate frequency

## Anode trips 

| Run | Species | Inner trips per month
(96 HVPS) | Outer trips per month
(96 HVPS) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2003 | dAu and pp | 28.4 | 8.4 |
| 2004 | AuAu | 39.5 | 3.0
 |
| 2005 | CuCu and pp | 45.2 | 9.6 |
| 2006 | pp | 42 | 3.8 |

- Note1: nearly all outer trips are caused by unplanned beam aborts
- Note2: During 2006 pp running, average was 2 trips per shift with beam

**RHIC II L 20 times 2006 – could mean trip every 12 minutes **

**B. Stringfellow**

## Conclusion

- Aging does not appear to be an issue, but the 0.1 coul/cm limit is not guaranteed – could be a factor of 10 either way
- Anode trips on the inner sector could be a problem for the heaviest pp operation – faster automated recovery possible – without ending run.
- But how trips can a sector survive
