## Storage Resource Management

**Storage Resource Management**
**Working Group**
**Open Issues**
**September 14-15, 2005**
**Meeting at Jefferson Lab**
**http://sdm.lbl.gov/srm-wg**

## Open Issues to Discuss (1)

**What to do when a lifetime of a volatile file expires**
**Consider it finished?**
**No, maybe it was not used ...**
**Put it back in the end of queue**
**And bring in another file?**
**Or wait till at least one release occurs**
**Leave it in cache, but also**
**Put it in beginning of queue**
**And wait till at least one release occurs**
**What to do when the lifetime of all the files brought in for a request expired?**
**i.e. space is full**
**Terminate the request?**
**What to do if after srmPrepareToPut there is no activity for a default SRM period?**
**Terminate the request and remove the TURLs?**
**What to do when files put into SRM space are larger than the max default size?**
**Remove partial file?**
**Terminate the TURL?**

## Open Issues to Discuss (2)

**What to do if lifetime expired and the client asks to remove a file, but the file is open? e.g. srmCleanup**
**Refuse to remove?**
**What to do if lifetime expired and the SRM wants to remove a file, but the file is open?**
**Wait till file is closed?**
**What if it doesn’t close for a very long time?**
**Should we have Pin as a separate function?**
**Currently pin is done when a request is processed**
**ReassignToUser was removed**
**Needs coordination between two users**
**How would the SRM know it is a legitimate request?**

## The WOCE archive at WDC-Oceanography (NODC)

- All DACs providing data archive to NODC
- DACs  are submitting entire holdings to NODC
- Each *archive* will be assigned an NODC accession identifier that reflects WOCE; e.g
- WOCE Global Data: Current Meter Data, Version 3.0”
- WHPO, UOT and cm data (and flags) are to be preserved in NODC databases.

## Summary

- We are continuing evolution towards a complete integrated archive of WOCE data and data products.
- WOCE Global Data V3 has been delivered.
- Delivery of data, products in both offline and online, and archive insures legacy of WOCE data.

## PRICE HISTORY AND FORECAST

**Sold in Quantity**

**Power Modules**
**Average Selling Price**

**PRICE HISTORY AND FORECAST**
**POWER MODULES VS. LARGE MODULES IN QUANTITY**
**2001 Constant Dollars**

- Forecast prices for power modules are shown for two scenarios.  The upper line denotes pricing under “Business as Usual,” the lower line under an “Accelerated Scenario.”  The slope of both lines is based on the regression model, which indicates an approximate 18% price decrease for each doubling of cumulative volume.
- Pricing differentials between large modules sold in quantity and power modules were greater than 20% in the early 1990s.  However, this has declined to less than 5% in 2000, driven largely by two factors:

- The major growth of applications dominated by large power modules (grid-connected, remote habitation, and remote industrial)
- Extreme decreases in module prices in two years (17% in 1996 and 14% in 1998).  It is expected that this small differential will decrease to 4% in 2001, increasing to 8% in 2005, then declining to 5% in 2010.

- Note: manufacturers may produce more than one vehicle for a product

## Why is glycerol added to allergen extracts?

*Protein stabilizer*
*Protease inhibitor*
*Bacteriostatic*

## How does glycerol stabilize proteins?

*Freezing point depression*
*Conformational alterations*
*Preferential hydration*
*Domain interface changes*
*Reduction of backbone mobility*
*Changes in association constants*

## Slide 8

*50% glycerol or greater*

## Glycerol inhibits particulate formation in allergen extracts

*In one series of obsevations, particulates appeared in 95% of aqueous extracts but only 50% of glycerinated extracts*
*Particulates in glycerinated extracts are significantly smaller*

## Glycerol is a preservative

*“**Products in multiple-dose containers shall contain a preservative, except that a preservative need not be added to...an Allergenic Product in 50 percent or more volume in volume (v/v) glycerin.” 21 CFR 610.15*

## Negatives

*Pain on injection*
*Glycerol dose related*
*Not volume related*

*Van Metre et al JACI 1996;97:1033-9*

## More negatives

*Induration (“glycerin button”)*
*Bruising*

## Summary	

*Glycerol*
*Stabilizes allergens, especially at suboptimal temperatures*
*May inhibit proteases*
*Inhibits bacterial growth*
*Inhibits precipitate formation*
*Only real drawback is pain on injection*

## U. S. Climate Change Science Program Planning Workshop

**Breakout *****Group***** 4: Cross-cutting Issues**
**Breakout *****Session***** 24: Reporting and Outreach Plans**
**William H. Hooke**
**American Meteorological Society**

## Much to like...

**“****important to integrate public information and outreach considerations at an early stage.”**
**this comment process itself**

## ...including the writing style

**crisp**
**brief**
**clear**

## Focus on...

**“****building on a *****good***** start”**

## Goals of outreach?

**Build societal awareness of the impacts of climate-related decisions**
**Internalize climate change considerations in societal decisions**

## Goals of outreach? continued

**Reach out...**
**...****not just to “the choir,” but also to “the congregation,” as well as to “the unchurched”**
**...****globally, target locally/individually**

-    **...****keeping (some such) broad understanding of “outreach” in mind would reshape this chapter...**

**  ****section-by-section comments**

## the introductory material

**In addition to differentiating between “two kinds” of stakeholders, also keep in mind their similarities**
**See goal as helping stakeholders integrate climate change science into other (broader? more immediate?) concerns**

## 1. Inventory of Existing Agency Activities

**cite url’s providing further access to agency inventory material?**

## 2. Reporting and Outreach for Decisionmakers

**Consider...**
**integrating the reporting and outreach for decision makers with the decision support tools material**

## 3. Reporting and Outreach for the Public

**Recognize and treat the media as decision makers in their own right...**
**Using decision support systems**
**Influencing not just the “public,” but also “decisionmakers”**
**...**

## 4. Outreach for K-12 Education

**(Surprise!) Recognize and treat teachers as decisionmakers in their own right **
**Using decision support systems**
**Influencing not just the “public,” but also “decisionmakers”**
**...**

## The key to making high mobility polymer thin film transistors: nucleation of crystals off of the gate dielectricStanford MRSEC, DMR-0213618

- Kline, R. J., McGehee, M. D., Fréchet, J. M. J., et al. *Macromolecules* 38, 3312 (2005)
- Kline, R. J., McGehee, M. D. & Toney, M. F., *Nature Materials* 5, **222** (2006).

- When conjugated polymer crystals nucleate off of the gate dielectric, the conjugated backbones, shown in red, are all aligned.  Charge can easily hop from one grain to another.
**Proven strategies for nucleating crystals on the dielectric**
-  Make the dielectric smooth
-  Coat the dielectric with OTS
-  Use high boiling point solvent or anneal the film
-  Use high molecular weight polymers.

## Satellite Tracking for UAE Field Campaign Support

- Rob Levy

## Why do we care?

- Field campaigns validate/improve/etc satellite data
- Surface and airborne measurements are integral
- Where do you locate and time these measurements to coincide with satellite data?

## What I have done

- Really, not much...
- Downloaded freeware code “Sattrack”, the same code that powers NASA’s Earth Observatory **Satellite Overpass Predictor**
- Modified output in order to calculate satellite information useful for field planning.
- Created a script so that all calculations are done “automatically...” (with the properly formatted input)

- We need more information...  (glint angle, scattering angle)

## Output data for UAE

- Al Khazana: Lat = 24.16 N, Long = 55.10 E

## Other relevant info

- Need input locations (AERONET lat/long for example)
- Satellite view zenith is an approximation (90 - elevation), therefore glint and scattering angles are also approximate.
- Need to update “two-line-elements” (tle) before running
- Valid for any satellite
- Charles Gatebe has my code

## Nanoscale Cr4+ Doped Olivine Crystallites Used In Optical Amplifiers and Lasers 

**By: Denise Asafu-Adjei (Bronx H.S. of Science)**
**Caesar Pereira (Archbishop Stepinac H.S.)**
**Supervising Scientist: Prof. Petricevic (CCNY)**
**Senior Scientist: Dr. Bykov (CCNY)**

**Notes:**
Project title: Nanoscale Cr4+ Doped Olivine Crystallites Used In Optical Amplifiers and Lasers 
Staff Member: Denise Asafu-Adjei and Caesar Pereira
Mentors: Dr. Petricevic and Dr. Bykov
Best Viewed As an active slide show in PowerPoint 2003

## Analysis of Cr doped Powders

- 0.1% and 0.5% samples seem to be the optimal concentrations for laser emissions.
- When heated to 1050C in general, the light emissions increased and encompassed a longer range of wavelengths.
- In conclusion, we can see that because the light emissions for 1050C surpassed 1000nm, Cr4+ ions are present now in our powders.

**Notes:**
Because the peaks for the compounds after 1050 Celsius surpassed 1000nm, we know that the Cr4+ ions we are looking for are present 

## Importance of this Research

- To synthesize an effective amplifying medium for the purpose of creating a **“tunable laser”** that will be able to emit light at **multiple wavelengths**
- This is of significance for NASA research because these lasers would be more **versatile**, **spatially efficient**, **convenient**, and **cost-effective **

## Applications of Lasers

- Optical communication
- Remote sensing
- Medical imaging
- Surgery and LASIK
- Tissue welding

**Notes:**
The IR tunable lasers developed at CCNY can be useful in other commercial and scientific areas 
Lasers are used anywhere light is produced e.g. fluorescent lights, gas lanterns, incandescent bulbs 
Optical communication (optic fiber)
Remote Sensing (similar to radar)
Medical Imaging (used to distinguish between two different types of tissue)
Surgery and LASIK Implications (IR Lasers can be used to precisely cut tissue and that is why it is used in laser eye surgery (LASIK))
Tissue Welding ( because laser surgery is so precise, it allows for easy cutting)

## FURTHER RESEARCH 

- Studying the light emissions from the crystals synthesized from the powders
- Attaining the optimal Cr concentration in the crystals, which will provide the maximum light emissions
- In this final part of our project x-ray spectroscopy will be utilized for further analysis of our crystals that will be grown
