## The GLAST Burst Monitor

**Chip Meegan**
**NASA/MSFC**

## The goal of the GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM) is to enhance the Science return of the Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) mission in the study of gamma-ray bursts.  GBM will measure the spectra of bursts over a wide energy band and with high temporal resolution.  The GBM will also detect bursts over a large solid angle.  It will determine the directions to the bursts, to allow optional repointing of the main instrument.

## ENG Safety Equipment and Visual Markings

- Airworthiness Presentation

## Anticollision Lights

- 14 CFR 27.1401
- Accident helicopters equipped with anticollision lights
- Lights likely on during flights and likely visible

## Anticollision Lights

- High-intensity anticollision lights
- More visible than standard anticollision lights

## Anticollision Lights

## Blade Paint Schemes

- FARs do not address conspicuity of main rotor and tail rotor blades
- CAMI study: most conspicuous blade paint scheme provided flickering sensation

## Blade Paint Schemes

- USFS: high-visibility paint scheme requirements for helicopter contractors
- Helicopter air tour operators:             high-visibility rotor blades help avoid collisions
- TSB report: air tour flights in Niagara Falls area must have approved conspicuous paint schemes on upper blade surfaces

## Blade Paint Schemes

## Blade Paint Schemes

- Main rotor blades were blue-gray on top and black on bottom
- Enhanced coloration could have increased conspicuity of helicopters
- High-intensity anticollision lights would help when blade paint might not be visible

## Traffic Advisory System

- Channel 3 helicopter had optional traffic advisory system
- Tracked up to 30 aircraft
- Predicted collision threats
- Provided aural warning of aircraft on collision path
- Plotted eight most threatening aircraft locations on display
- Channel 15 helicopter did not have optional traffic advisory system

## Traffic Advisory Systems

- System would have aided pilot as helicopter entered the scene
- “Traffic, traffic” should have frequently sounded once channel 15 helicopter was inside channel 3 system’s alerting envelope
- System would have been less useful as position locator because of nuisance alerts

## Traffic Advisory Systems

- Visual displays of nearby traffic can show aircraft’s relative altitude and direction of travel
- Help pilots maintain awareness of, and visual contact with, nearby aircraft
- Traffic advisory systems are not substitute for see-and-avoid concept

## Traffic Advisory Systems

- Traffic advisory systems not specifically designed for helicopter flight characteristics
- System designed specifically for helicopters could help eliminate nuisance warnings that ENG pilots can receive

## Blending Mental Health Care and Primary Health Care

- (Why it might be a good idea to reattach the head to the body.)
- Heidi Erickson MD, LCDR, USPHS
- Phoenix Indian Medical Center

## The Current State of the World	

- Confusing mental health care infrastructure due to compacting, contracting, tribal vs. IHS sites, difficulty engaging state and local services
- P and T committees that restrict psychotropic medications to psychiatry
- Unavailability of psychiatric consultation

## 	The World (cont)

- Limited number of mental health care providers for the patient population
-      Psychiatrists
-      Psychologists
-      Therapists
-       Substance abuse counselors
-       Social workers
- Psychiatrists and mental health care workers off in “the behavioral health” building/trailer/house

##  What is Mental Health care?

- Behavioral Health—definition developed by managed care to include services of mental health, counseling, psychological testing, social services, and substances abuse (and then carve it out and not pay for it)
- Psychiatry—Branch of _**Medicine**_  concerned with diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders and related conditions

## Primary Care

-    The provision of integrated, accessible health care services by clinicians who are accountable for addressing a large majority of personal health care needs, developing a sustained partnership with patients, and practicing in the context of family and community.

## Why putting PC and MH together may be important

- Number of patients far exceeds the capabilities of the mental health care resources in IHS.
- Many patients prefer to see their primary care doctor as opposed to “a psychiatrist,etc”
- Less stigma and often much more accessible care in PCP settings.

## What reattaching the mind to the body might add for providers.

- Collaboration, support and ongoing training of primary care providers can:
- Increase recognition of mental disorders possibly leading to increased treatment
- Increase in effective treatment of primary psychiatric diagnosis
- Increase feelings of competence among PCP’s
- Decrease feelings of demoralization and sense of being overwhelmed
- Decrease spending due to ordering of laboratory and invasive tests as comfort level with psychiatric diagnosis increases.

## What benefits might there be for our patients.

- Increase compliance amongst patients who are generally more comfortable with their PCP’s
- Treatment of disorders that affect their quality and quantity of life
- Improved sense of well-being
- Destigmatization of psychiatric illness
- In children, decrease in drug use, pregnancy, suicide, and a host of other problems.
- In adults, decrease in disability, jail, suicide, etc

## Ideas for improvement

- Ask PCP’s what they think would increase comfort and desire to effectively treat mental disorders and then address perceived barriers.
- Consider a pilot project to create a usable algorithm for treatment of a common psychiatric disorder in primary care
- Strive to make collaboration a norm as opposed to an exception

- Survey and Alignment Group
- March 3, 2005

**SNS Survey and Alignment**

## Alignment Tolerances

- SNS Parameters List, Revision 12 (November 2004):
- Expected Ring magnet alignment:  _0.1 mm (rms)_

## Ring Injection Area - Construction History

- Construction-induced dropout discovered in August 2001 during excavation for Ring.
- Dropout excavated to a depth of 20 feet below tunnel subgrade, then repaired with stone and concrete.
- Uneven backfill loading, due to construction of Injection Dump.
- Unusual floor cracks, but recompression settlement not extraordinary.

## Ring Injection Floor Crack – November 2002

## Ring Injection Floor Crack – September 2003

## Ring Injection Floor Crack – September 2004

## Locations of Floor Cracks and Monuments

## Modes of Deformation Identified in Ring Injection Area

- Wall spreading
- Floor spreading
- Fragmentation by transverse cracks
- 		- horizontally
- 		- vertically
- Differential settlement: side-versus-center

## Wall Spreading

** ****+ 0.230 mm (typical) between April 2004 and December 2004**

## Floor Spreading

**+ 0.230 mm (typical) between April 2004 and December 2004**

## Horizontal Motion of Floor Blocks Separated by Cracks

## Horizontal Motion of Floor Blocks Separated by Cracks

## Vertical Motion of Floor Blocks Separated by Cracks

## Differential Settlement Between Sides and Center of Floor

**Edges of the tunnel floor settle more than the center (10% - 30%).**

## Other Deformation-Related Issues

- Recompression settlement (absolute) is still unknown.
- Deformation at the other three construction-induced dropouts is still unknown.
- Direction of 3-mm horizontal displacement at the RTBT-Target interface is still unknown.
- How long will each of these modes of deformation continue to operate?

## Field Induced Order and Spin Waves in the Pyrochlore Antiferromagnet Tb2Ti2O7

- Tb2Ti2O7 is a geometrically frustrated antiferromagnet in which magnetic Tb3+ ions are located at the vertices of a network of corner-sharing tetrahedra. High resolution time-of-flight experiments using the CHRNS DCS with long wavelength (5 Å and 9 Å) neutrons, in “fields” as high as 9 T, reveal a complex magnetic-field vs temperature phase diagram;  a cooperative paramagnet, a polarized paramagnet, and a high field long range ordered phase.

- Panels a, b and c show the measured diffuse intensity at 1K, integrated over low energies (-0.5 to 0.5 meV); panel d shows the elastic and near-elastic scattering integrated over Q, including the (002) position. As the field is increased additional Bragg peaks appear and the diffuse scattering around (002) disappears.

- Other measurements, at 0.4 K, show that in the ordered phase (above ~2 T) there are well-defined spin-wave excitations. These new observations of complex behavior in Tb2Ti2O7 will hopefully motivate theoretical study aimed at a more complete understanding of this enigmatic material.
