## EbE Vertexing for Mixing

- Alex

## Outline

- Current status
- What was used for the mixing results
- What is the current understanding of Ebe
- Plans for improvements
- How can we improve?
- How much will this affect our reach:
- Resolution
- Better understanding (systematics)

## Current status

- Public analyses use a flat ~40um beamline!
- Move to “hourglass”
- Move to EbE

## What do we know about EbE?

- Unbiased estimator of PVTX
- Reasonable (~5%) control of systematics

|  | Transverse | Z |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Data (V1-V2) | 1.330.035 | 1.370.035 |
| MC (V1-V2) | 1.1920.034 | 1.260.035 |
| MC (V-truth) | 1.240.036 | 1.230.032 |
| J/ Prompt Peak | 1.2360.024 | NA |
| J/ d0/ | 1.1760.019 | NA |

## What do we not know about EbE?

- Lxy involves three ingredients:
- EbE
- Secondary vertex
- Beamline (in beamline constrained fits)

## ...hence the plans for improvements!A Prioritized List:

- Is the EbE code doing the right thing?
- Understand beamline parameterization:
- Is it used correctly
- Is it measured correctly
- Are secondary vertex pulls ok?
- Check with montecarlo truth
- If suspect still persists use n-prong vertices (J/K, K+/0, K+/0)
- Do we understand the 1.38 scale factor?
- (connected to 4.) investigate dependancies (Pt?, z?, multiplicity, ?)

## What do we gain?

- 15-20% In vertex resolution!
- Better control of systematics (hard to evaluate)
- Correct EbE resolution (it is not clear that it is correct now)

- Red arrow is the effect of 1. Only
- Point 2. Affects mostly the green area (tiny ?)
- Point 3. Has an effect qualitatively similar to 1., but hard to evaluate

- Euphemism

## Hadronic analysis systematics

## FDA MDUFMA Stakeholder MeetingAMDR Presentation

- November 17, 2005
- Gaithersburg, MD

- .

## “Pre-MDUFMA” Background

- .

- “Pre-MDUFMA” Background

- Reprocessors were subject to the same regulatory requirements as OEMs
- 20+ year stellar safety record, 30 million+ devices
- Embraced by the top hospitals
- No evidence of increased risk to patients.

## Why MDUFMA?

- .

- No public health rationale for additional requirements
- Continued OEM frustration with economic threat posed by reprocessing
- “[W]e want to ensure access to safe and effective reprocessed devices.”
- 			House Report 107-728, at 44.
- Least burdensome
- 	implementation

## What’s Happening Now

- .

- Reprocessors are complying with MDUFMA’s requirements
- Supplemental Validation Submissions
- Approximately 95 percent of products remain legally marketable.
- Additional submissions are under review.
- Patient safety is not
-   an issue!

- .

- What’s Happening Now

- Amendment of section 301
- OEM petitions to add devices to List I and List II
- Anti-reprocessing legislation at the state level
- Broad-based anti-reprocessing media campaign

## Reprocessing is Here to Stay

- .

- Despite the enormous efforts to eliminate reprocessed devices as an option for hospitals, the third-party reprocessing industry is growing, and is continuing to provide hospitals with a safe, effective way to achieve cost savings.

- .

- Benefits of Reprocessing

- Enables hospitals to save money without compromising patient care
- Savings are used to improve patient care
- Reduces the medical waste stream
- Provides competitive pressure on price of original devices

## RDRC Membership:SNM Suggestions

*Mathew L. Thakur, Ph.D.*
*President*
*Society of Nuclear Medicine*

## RDRC Membership: SNM Suggestions

_**Background**_
- The Society of Nuclear Medicine is an international scientific and professional organization founded in 1954.
- SNM’s mission is to promote the science, technology and practical application of nuclear medicine.
- The Society’s 15,000+ members are physicians, technologists, and scientists specializing in the research and practice of nuclear medicine.

## RDRC Membership: SNM Suggestions

- _Background_ *(cont)*
- In addition to publishing journals, newsletters and books, SNM also sponsors national and international meetings designed to increase the competencies of nuclear medicine practitioners and to promote new advances in the science of nuclear medicine.

## RDRC Membership: SNM Suggestions 

- The SNM supports RDRC, and recognizes RDRC’s contributions to both nuclear medicine practitioners and the patients they serve.
- SNM welcomes all opportunities to work more closely with FDA staff to enhance the function and effectiveness of RDRC.

## RDRC Membership: SNM Suggestions 

- SNM believes that RDRC benefits greatly from current 21 CFR 361.1(c) 1 requirements that RDRC be minimally comprised of –
- A nuclear medicine physician
- A person qualified to formulate radioactive drugs
- A person with special competency in radiation safety and radiation dosimetry.

## RDRC Membership: SNM Suggestions

- The SNM believes that RDRC would benefit by including a Pharmacologist in RDRC composition.
- SNM’s rationale for this suggestion is that a Pharmacologist could better advise RDRC on the invivo interaction of a radiopharmaceutical or a molecular probe when administered in minute quantities.

## RDRC Membership: SNM Suggestions 

**SNM suggests that;**
**At the time of a change of an RDRC member, the RDRC chair submits to FDA , the suggested new member’s qualifications (CV) and role in RDRC.**
**The FDA reviews the qualifications of the proposed RDRC member and makes recommendations within 30 days.**
**RDRC acts on the status of the proposed member.**

## Crystallization Behavior of Model Branched PolyethylenesRufina G. Alamo   (FAMU-FSU College of Eng.)    DMR-0503876

-    Polyethyelenes are among the most important large volume polyolefins produced in the world. Their properties depend on the details of the crystalline structure acquired during crystallization.

**O**

**F**

**Cl**

**Br**

**CH****3**

- Studies with model branched polyethylenes containing F, Cl, Br, O or CH3 on each 19th carbon along the polymer backbone served to quantify the degree to which the orthorhombic lattice of the linear PE chain can tolerate atomic hydrogen substitution. The figures illustrate changes in crystallographic packing and drastic depression of melting with increasing van der Waals radius of the side branch accommodated in the crystal lattice *(Macromolecules, 2006 in press).*
- The packing behavior of these model polyethylenes sets the bases to describe unusual crystallographic patterns observed in other highly branched polyolefins.

## A Geometric Constant Defining Shape Transitions of Carbon Nanotubes under Pressure

**Feng Liu**
**University of Utah**
- Discovery of geometric relations and calculation of geometric constants are among the very first scientific activities by human beings striving to understand nature. The most well-known example of a geometric constant is , the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Its discovery and calculation, going back thousands of years, has greatly improved our understanding of nature and stimulated the advancement of science in general. One of the most fascinating and intriguing properties possessed by carbon nanotubes is their geometry. Recently, Professor Feng Liu at the University of Utah has discovered the existence of a geometric constant that defines the shape transitions of single-walled carbon nanotubes under hydrostatic pressure (accepted by *Phys. Rev. Lett.*). This *universal* constant has a value of *G *= 0.819469, independent of tube type and tube size.
- It is rather remarkable that the discovery of a geometric constant, an ancient scientific endeavor, is brought out again in the study of carbon nanotubes, a modern research topic. Conversely, such an “ancient-type” discovery has important implications in modern science and technology, such as in designing carbon-nanotube-based electromechanical devices like pressure sensors. This research was partly supported by NSF.

## Fig. 1. Evolution of cross-sections of armchair tubes induced by hydrostatic pressure (MD simulations). (a) (6,6), (b) (12,12), and (c) (18,18) tube. The red tubes mark the first transition from circle to oval and the yellow tubes mark the second transition from oval to peanut. For all the tubes, the ratio of area of the yellow-to-red tube is found to be constant.

## Fig. 2. The ratio of the tube cross-sectional area at the second shape transition point (yellow tube in Fig. 1) to that at the first transition point (red tube in Fig. 1) for armchair and zigzag tubes, obtained from MD simulations. The ratio appears to be constant ~0.82, as indicated by the straight line. The small variations of data are due to uncertainty in determining the exact shape transition points in the simulation.

- Fig. 3. Numerical solutions of the variational geometric curves of length L0 with period of L0/2 (left) and L0/3 (right). The curves on the left match exactly, with a proper scaling, to those contours of the tube cross-sections shown in Fig. 1. Therefore, *the mathematical formulated shapes represent exactly the pressure-induced tube shape transitions, *allowing the accurate computation of* *the newly discovered geometric constant *G *= 0.819469.

**Synthetic Seismic Model**

## Outline

- Objective
- Definition
- Reflection Data
- Synthetic Model
- Comparison
- Conclusion

**Notes:**
In this presentation I will go through the purpose of my project, the method I used, and the results.

## Objective

- Determine the thickness of the Basalt layer

**Notes:**
The main goal of my work was to find out how thick the basalt layer. Of course, another thing is to learn more about the technique or the method I am using which is the Synthetic modeling

## Synthetic Seismogram’s Def’n

- “An Artificial seismic reflection record manufactured by assuming that a particular waveform travels through an assumed model”
- “A 1D sythetic seismogram is formed by simply convolving an embeded waveform with a reflectivity function”
- From E. D. A. G.

## Seismic Reflection Profile

**Notes:**
This is the profile my colleagues in the reflection crew came up with. That is after BandPass Filtering, AGC (that is Automatic Gain Control), NMO (Normal MoveOut)

## Thin Layer

- Time (sec)

**Notes:**
In this slide, I want to show the overlapping of wavelets in the traces. That what made us think that it cannot be a single interface but a layer of a top and a bottom. A bottom that shows a polarity flip. The reflection coeffecient goes from positive at the top of the layer to negative at the bottom of it. That means that layer has higher velocity than the layers above and beneath. We assumed that was the Basalt for different reasons. One would be looking at the Basalt outcrop up the eastern side of the fault or by the canyon. Another is our previous knowledge of high velocities going through basalt compared to ones traveling through sediments like Santa Fe group that is also outcropping underneath the basalt.

## Design

- Matlab Code
- Parameters
- Resulting Model

**Notes:**
I come to the design of my model. I used the matlab code written and provided by Dr. Larry Braile. Some parameters determine what kind of model is produced. The wavelet properties like the length and number of extrema will be input into the design of the wavelet itself. Other parameters are the number of layers and their velocities and thicknesses.

## Depth Velocity Model

**Notes:**
Running that code after inputting all the parameters, would plot this Velocity Depth Model to give you a rough idea of what the layers in the subsurface look like and what might happen to the wavelet propagating through it.

## Synthetic Seismogram

**Notes:**
This diagram shows that. It shows us a picture of what happens to that interpreted wavelet after traveling though our V-D Model 

## Reflections

- Time (sec)

**Notes:**
This is a close-up of the reflection data we looked at earlier. I would like you to see where the wavelet should be.

## Comparison

- Time (sec)

## Model Parameters

## Conclusion

-  Zbasalt = 45 m

- T R Knowles
- 3/7/01

## FY00 Progress

- Cooled carbon structure demo articles (full-scale)
- Lightweight
- Rigid
- Shingled surface
- Porous chip mount
- Al manifolds
- Issues
- Resistance at tube wall is high
- Need to increase thermal conductance
- Tubing cracked, leaked
- Need to increase toughness and assure leak-tightness

- Fibrous surface for shingling with high contact conductance
- Vertical high-k fibers with in-plane discrete fiber reinforcements
- Tubes cemented in grooves

## Increase Thermal Conductance

- “Fintubing” Concept
- Improved fiber orientation
- Issues: Precision? Manifolds?

## EIA’s Proposed Strategy for Addressing Declining Response Rates in the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS): 

- Presented at the Meeting of the ASA Committee
- April 28, 2005

## RECS Nonresponse can occur when .......

- The household interview cannot be obtained;
- A waiver is not obtained during the household interview permitting access to energy supplier billing records;
- Energy Consumption and Expenditure data are not obtained from the energy supplier.

## Slide 3

## Slide 4

## Slide 5

## Slide 6

## And of course .....

- Nonresponse at any stage affects the quality of the complete product
- So ...... what to do??

## Start With Household Interview Recruitment

- Introductory postcards – information is coming
- Introductory letters reworked
- More upbeat and encouraging
- Eliminate bureaucratic recitation of required info
- Mention gifts as a token of thanks
- Emphasize capability and responsibility to protect data confidentiality because of CIPSEA

## Incentives to Complete Household Interview and Sign the Waiver Form

- Nonmonetary
- Info about RECS
- Brochures on energy-saving methods
- Pen to keep upon signing the waiver form
- Plus a proposed monetary incentive!

## Monetary Incentive

- Unconditional
- Carried out as an experiment
- 1/3 receive nothing; 1/3 receive $5.00
- 	1/3 receive $10.00
- Cash/cash equivalent
- Classes at segment level

## Spanish-speaking Households May Pose a Significant Problem ....

- Geographic information as part of new design identifies heavily Spanish areas
- Bilingual interviewers
- Spanish background materials
- Spanish translation of the RECS questionnaire
- Built into Blaise CAPI system
- Other languages not frequently-occurring enough to justify this procedure

## Despite our efforts, some household nonresponse will occur ....

- Reasons for refusal
- Security/confidentiality
- Lack of time
- Uncertain about need
- Customized letters for conversion
- “Soft” Nonresponse subsampling an option

## Missing Energy Supplier Data is a Separate Problem

- Caused by
- Refusal to sign waiver or refusal by supplier
- Inaccessability of the supplier (esp. fuel oil/propane)
- Difficulty in associating account number with supplier records
- Problem of master metering in apartment buildings

## Scanners may help .....

- Ask respondents to have latest energy bills handy
- Helps get supplier names and account numbers correct
- Some bills provide a year’s consumption, though not expenditures

## ..... but Master-Metered Apartment Buildings are still a problem

- Scanners to be used to get building level energy information in rental agent survey
- Once again, suppliers and account numbers identified clearly
- Any consumption information on bill can be used to prorate energy use for sample HH

## In Conclusion .....

- EIA takes nonresponse seriously
- Concerted effort to address it
- Does Committee have any improvements or additional procedures to suggest?

## VSI Scatterplate Interferometry for PM Segment Alignment and Phasing(VSI SPI 4 PM SAP)

- John Hayes, Ph.D.

## The Challenge of PM PhasingDuring Fabrication

- Mechanical vibration is a problem
- High speed phase measurement (SPSI, PhaseCam, etc.)
- Active vibration compensation (AVCS)
- Slope measurement (Shack-Hartman)
- Common path interferometer
- Phasing requires the measurement of large “steps”
- Multiple wavelength interferometry
- The test beam at C.O.C is highly aberrated
- Null optics required
*The scatterplate interferometer can solve all of these problems!*

## The Scatterplate Interferometer

- Common path
- Can use a white light or laser source
- Scatterplate properties
- Random scattering pattern
- Feature size determines F/#
- Mirror symmetry
- How it works
- Four combinations of beams are possible
- SS = background noise
- DD = hot spot
- SD, DS = signal

## The Phase Shifting SPI

- Michael North-Morris, et. al., University of Arizona

## Vertical Scanned Interferometry (VSI)

- How it works...
- Use white light, equal path interferometer
- Single, high speed detector to measure signal
- Change position of mirror
- Look for peak signal contrast...we’ll see how in a minute
- Used on WYKO white light optical profilers for focusing & measurement
- 1 to 10 seconds ...depending on scan length

- Scan
- Direction

- Detector

- Sample

- White Light
- Interferometer

- Encoder

## VSI Signal Processing

## VSI Scatterplate Optical Schematic

## Steps to Phase Multiple Mirrors

- 1. Use 633 nm to align the scatterplate with the center reference segment (minimize tilt and focus)
- 2. Pick a segment and align it geometrically with the scatterplate (using alignment fiducials on the scatterplate)
- 3. Minimize tilt and focus fringes
- 4. Switch to white light
- 5. Use VSI (at a point) to phase segment with center section
- 6. Flip back to 633 nm to remove tilt
- 7. Repeat steps 5-7 to phase and align segment
- 8. Repeat steps 2-7 to phase and align each of the other segments

## Advantages

- Relatively simple
- Inherently accurate
- Fast
- May be possible to implement with OTS components
- WYKO hardware/software does VSI with single point detectors

## Problems To Be Solved

- Must have an achromatic null solution
- Both Mitch Ruda and Jose Sassian have SPI null designs
- SPI has lots of “stray light”
- Lowers signal contrast...not a big problem
- Requires a fast scatterplate
- Should not be a big problem to make F/3 or F/4 scatterplate
- Scatterplate can also be pointed in different directions
- Direct beam path is the only true common path
- No data available at hot spot
- Sensitive to relative vibration between segments
- Only common mode vibration is cancelled
- However, this is true for any interferometric solution

## MNM Fatal 2007-30

- Handtools Accident
- October 24, 2007 (Indiana)
- Limestone Operation
- Assistant Superintendent
- 36 years old
- 17 years experience

## Overview

- The victim was injured on October 24, 2007,
- while removing a loader bucket tooth lodged
- in a crusher.  He was struck by material that
- had been placed on top of jacks in an
- attempt to free the tooth.  The victim was
- hospitalized and died of his injuries on
- October 29, 2007.

## Slide 3

## Causal Factors

- Management policies procedures and controls were inadequate. Management had not developed safe work procedures to remove objects lodged in the crusher. The crew working to free the blocked crusher used jacks to raise the upper section of the crusher while it was under pressure from the compression springs.
- Management did not have a system in place to prevent metal from entering the crusher.

## Best Practices

- Contact the manufacturer to discuss their recommendations before attempting to free wedged material.
- Train persons in safe work procedures and ensure they are provided with the appropriate tools or equipment to safely perform the task.
- Review maintenance procedures to ensure all possible hazards have been identified and appropriate controls are in place to protect persons.
- Remember and use SLAM: Stop, Look, Analyze, and Manage.

## Bayesian Analysis of Internal Dosimetry Problems

**Bayesian Statistical Methods Workshop**
**Charleston, South Carolina**
**November 14, 1997 **

## Disclaimer

**I reserve the right to, at any time, change the **
**opinions expressed in this presentation without **
**undue heckling from my colleagues.**

## Thanks

## Two Questions

**Does a particular urine sample contain plutonium (Detection)?**** **
**Given that the urine sample does contain plutonium, did the person have an intake of plutonium (Interpretation)?**

## Status

**Been studying LANL publications.**** **
**Enlisted SRS statisticians to help.**** **
**Performed evaluation of Bayesian methods applied to the interpretation question.**** **
**I still don’t get it.**

## Detection

**The prior for detection should be free of extraneous opinions.**** **
**The detection level should make sense.**** **
**Don’t forget false negatives.**** **
**The ability of an analytical/statistical method to detect plutonium in a urine sample can and should be tested.**

## Proposed Test for Urine

**Pu in Urine (dpm/L)**

**Percent**
**Correct**
**Answers**

**L****c**** = 0.025 dpm/L**

## Distribution of Routine Samples

**Pu-239 in Urine**
**(dpm/L)**

**Probits**

**N = 12363**

## Interpretation

**By necessity, the prior contains considerable professional judgment.**** **
**So much judgment is put into the solution, frequently the math is unnecessary.**

## Example

## Status Quo Axiom

**In going from a non-Bayesian method to a Bayesian method, the prior and critical posterior probabilities will be chosen to maintain or reduce the frequency of intakes.**

## Complexity Issue

**Few facilities have internal dosimetrists with mathematical/computational horsepower on a par with the Los Alamos crew.**** **
**Many dosimetrists still misapply the relatively simplistic frequentist methods.**

## Summary

**The Bayesian approach is one way, not the way, to attack our problems.**
**I plan to further investigate applications of the Bayesian approach. **
**The complexity issue must be addressed before the Bayesian approach is widely adopted:**
**Detailed hands-on workshop**
**“****Navy” training**
**Internal dose equivalent to Berry’s book**

## The Importance/Implication of Asset Management Data to Senior ManagersorWhat do they Really Need to Know

## Goals of Transportation Agencies

- - Get the farmer out of the mud
- - Build a transcontinental freeway           system (interstate)
- - “STILL SEARCHING”                    	  Some call it Operational Phase.

- 1900
- 1950
- 2000

## Customer Desires

## Today we use data that we collect to measure, evaluate, and predict:

- Pavement condition
- Bridge condition
- System performance and
- Organizational performance.

## Customer Desires

- is discussing how to
- integrate data systems
- and migrate data from
- one system to another.

## So

- What is wrong?
- Have we looked over our shoulder?

## We are changing?

## Today our transportation system is the glue that makes our economy prosper.

- In the 21rd Century, our transportation system will be faced with:

- Increased need for more dollars.
- Increased demand from users.
- Getting more out of what we have.

- -
- -
- -

## Slide 9

## If we continue to do business the way we did last year and the year before, we will not be needed.

## Currently our data address:

## In the future we are going to be addressing:

- Which provides the better benefit cost; pavement repair or total replacement?
- What is the system operational pay off if add a lane here vs. repair another section?
- Does the pavement meet the warranty conditions?

## So what do I do?

## Work with your leadership to:

- Establish a vision
- Establish system goals
- Develop performance measures
- Determine what questions do I
- want to answer

## Then you need to determine:

- What data do I need?
- Can I collect it?
- How much will it cost to collect?
- What do I really have to have?

## Quote:  “It might be fair to say that in the past, the assets managed the agency rather than the agency managing the assets.”

- How do you match up?
