- Varying options among:
- Regulators
- Providers of Service
- Manufacturers
- Pros & Cons are transposable
- Enforcement is critical

- December 3, 2001

## Arguments for SDoC

- Reduce complexity & cost
- Faster time to market
- Manufacturers have a vested interest
- Marketability of brand name
- Internal technical expertise, facilities, & test equipment
- Internationally recognized (ISO/IEC Guide 22)
- Precedence set with product verification

- December 3, 2001

## Arguments against SDoC

- Competitive disadvantage
- Increase product testing
- Manufacturers have a vested interest
- Loss of neutrality
- Lack of accountability
- Poorly-equipped
- Incorrect interpretation of criteria
- Prone to abuse

- December 3, 2001

## SDoC Enforcement

- Accountability is essential
- Identify party responsible
- Ensure traceability
- Detailed evidence of compliance
- Mechanisms and procedures
- Proactive (Audits, product monitoring)
- Reactive (Industry & public complaints)
- Enforcement of compliance
- Must be ready to act

- December 3, 2001

## SDoC in Part 68

- Responsible Party must be located in the USA
- Responsible Party must:
- Submit a copy to ACTA
- Include a copy in package
- Post on website
- SDoC must include:
- Identification of Responsible Party
- Statement of compliance
- Date & place of issue

**Notes:**
In the beginning, there was nothing.  And into the void came ASHRAE Standard 90-75.  This energy standard, released in 1975, was the first ASHRAE Standard 90 and the first real energy standard for residential buildings.  Standard 90-75 led to a short-lived and virtually unknown energy code called the Model Code for Energy Conservation (1977).  Five years later, ASHRAE came out with Standard 90A-1980, the second Standard 90.  The requirements in this standard showed up in the first Model Energy Code in 1983 and the next 3 MECs in 1986, 1989, and 1992.  These requirements continued, albeit with additional changes, in the 93 and 95 MEC, and the 98 and 2000 IECC.  In 1993, ASHRAE came out with Standard 90.2-1993, the third Standard 90 for residential.  No one uses 90.2-1993.

**Notes:**
In the beginning, there was nothing.  And into the void came ASHRAE Standard 90-75.  This energy standard, released in 1975, was the first ASHRAE Standard 90 and the first real energy standard for commercial buildings.  Standard 90-75 led to a short-lived and virtually unknown energy code called the Model Code for Energy Conservation (1977).  Five years later, ASHRAE came out with Standard 90A-1980, the second Standard 90.  The requirements in this standard showed up in the first Model Energy Code in 1983 and the next 3 MECs in 1986, 1989, and 1992.  However, in 1989, ASHRAE came out with Standard 90.1-1989, the third Standard 90.  This standard was also the basis of the first Federal commercial energy code - 10 CFR 435.  Users of the 1992 MEC were allowed to use it and the 1993 MEC required its use.  The Energy Policy Act of 1992 also required states to adopt commercial energy codes that met or exceeded Standard 90.1-1989, so the 1993 MEC was the first version of that code that met EPAct requirements. Early in 1993, ASHRAE also released a codified version of Standard 90.1-1989 and this version forms the basis of the new Federal commercial standard, 10 CFR 434.  The 1995 MEC and the 1998 IECC (the “new” MEC) were also based more or less on ASHRAE Standard 90.1-1989.  Finally, in 1999, ASHRAE released Standard 90.1-1999.  Plans call for this standard to be the basis of at least part of the 2001 IECC and a new Federal standard.  
The 2001 IECC is a supplement not a major edition.  It is tied to 90.1-1999 through Chapter 7.

- Identification of defects helps to detect weaknesses in the process.

## The TSP Workbook – Task List

## The TSP Workbook – Time Log

## TSP Defect Log

## Implementation

- Forming the team
- Training in TSP
- Initial Launch
- Status Meetings
- Relaunches
- Reports to Management
- Risks
- Change Management
- Changes to team membership

## Lessons Learned

- Start small for the first project
- A team leader should not plan to lead two TSP projects simultaneously
- Team may be comprised of both analysts and engineers
- Many team members not dedicated 100%

## Deciding when to use TSP

- Are people trained to use TSP?
- Is the scope compatible with TSP?
- Best if not too small, yet not too broad
- Will the team members be dedicated to the project?

## Summary

- Team members must buy into the TSP concept
- The team leader needs to motivate team members and resolve issues that arise
- Management must be committed to letting the process work

Learn to choose the best role for a given situation
Identify tips for moving between the roles
Identify the elements of the Facilitation Model

- Learn to choose the best role for a given situation
- Identify tips for moving between the roles
- Identify the elements of the Facilitation Model

- MODULE 2 OBJECTIVES

## COMPARING THE THREE ROLES

**LEADER**
- Does the right thing
- Sets the vision; future oriented
- Focuses on what and why
- Inspires innovation

**MANAGER**
- Does things right
- Sets the plan and pace; present oriented
- Focuses on how
- Inspires stability

**FACILITATOR**
- Helps people do things
- Helps people create shared vision, work together to achieve it
- Helps people think clearly and communicate their thoughts
- Helps people respond to change and identify best of “old ways”

**Adapted from “Managers as Facilitators,” by Richard Weaver and John Farrell**

## 
A process through which a person helps others complete their work and improve the way they work together

- A process through which a person helps others complete their work and improve the way they work together

- DEFINITION OF FACILITATION

## CHOOSING THE BEST ROLE

- Factors to consider:
- Nature of the task
- Degree of support needed
- Experience of group

## TIPS FOR MOVING BETWEEN ROLES

- Announce the shift in role and explain why
- Don’t change roles too often
- Remember in the leader and manager role you are not a neutral observer
- Don’t abandon the facilitator role too quickly when you encounter a problem
- As facilitator, don’t participate in _content_ of group discussion

## FACILITATION MODEL

## MODULE 2 KEY POINTS

- The facilitator is the most important role to emerge in today’s workplace
- Recognizing the distinction between leader, manager, and facilitator is critical
- The nature of the task, level of support needed, and experience level of the group are practical guidelines for choosing the best role

## MODULE 2 KEY POINTS, continued

- It is not unusual at first to feel uncomfortable in the facilitator role
- Mastering the core elements of the Facilitation Model enables you to apply your knowledge and skills in a variety of settings

## Impact on the Recording and Reporting of Radiation Exposure Records

- Derek Hagemeyer, ORAU

## Changes to 835

- Changes to 10 CFR 835 that affect radiation exposure records:
- Dosimetric Terms
- Organ doses
- Internal dose reporting threshold

## Dosimetric Terms

| Old Term |  | New Term |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Committed Effective Dose Equivalent | CEDE | Committed Effective Dose | CED |
| Committed Dose Equivalent | CDE | Committed Equivalent Dose | CEqD-Organ |
| Total Effective Dose Equivalent | TEDE | Total Effective Dose | TED |
| Cumulative Total Effective Dose Equivalent | CTEDE | Cumulative Total Effective Dose | CTED |

## Deleted Terms

| Deleted Term |  | Replacement Term |  | Depth in 
Tissue (cm) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Deep Dose Equivalent | DDE | Equivalent dose to the whole body | ED-WB | 1.000 |
|  |  | There will be two different fields in the database as there is now, one for ED-Total and one for ED-Neutron only |  |  |
| Shallow Dose Equivalent | SDE-WB
SDE-ME | Equivalent dose to the skin or to an extremity | ED-SK
ED-EX | 0.007 |
| Lens Dose Equivalent | LDE | Equivalent dose to the lens of the eye | ED-LE | 0.330 |

## Organ Doses

| Currently in M231.1-1A |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|    Gonads |   Thyroid |  |
|    Breasts |   Bone Surface |  |
|    Red Bone Marrow |  |  |
|    Lungs |   Remainder  (Redefined) |  |
| New (need to be added) |  |  |
|    Colon |   Liver |  |
|    Stomach |   Esophagus |  |
|    Bladder |   Skin |  |

## Remainder

- Adrenals
- Brain
- Extrathoracic airways
- Small intestine
- Kidneys

- Muscle
- Pancreas
- Spleen
- Thymus
- Uterus

- Tissue Weighting Factor Remainder:

- The ED to the remainder tissues (Hrem) will be calculated as the mass-weighted mean dose to these ten organs.

## Internal Threshold

- Recording of internal dose (committed effective dose or committed equivalent dose) is not required for any monitoring result estimated to correspond to an individual receiving less than 0.01 rem (0.1 mSv) committed effective dose.

## Issues

- Modify DOE M 231.1-1A for new terms and organ doses
- Implementation
- The use of the new terms and organ doses are required to be fully implemented by July, 2010.  Until then, both old and new data sets are acceptable to be reported to REMS
- Effective = July, 2007
- Full implementation 3 yrs after effective date = July, 2010

- Developed sizing agreements on drill, spectrometer.  Will reduce from original proposed interior size (e.g thicker wall) to improve drill performance.  Will test existing spectrometer in larger pipe segment to expedite testing.
- Contract proposals received, approved

## Significant Event

- Validated hermetic seal approach for detector/spectrometer
- Allows integration of stand-alone spectrometer/detector packages in the 25-50 gram range
- Reduces mass and risk associated with packaging issues

## Plans for Next Quarter

**Preliminary mechanical design – complete preliminary mechanical ICD for mounting spectrometer in drill segment, windows in drill flute**
**Complete optical design for small spectrometer optical bench, initiate foundry contract**
**Initial tests of environmental effects on hermetic seal, including thermal shock and vibration**
**Tests of mount and seal windows to drill flute**
**Window scratch tests**
**Design and bench test of illumination path**
**Additional data on drill vibration environment in multiple classes of rock**

## Financial Summary

**Summary **
-    Spending is delayed overall  $50.8K costed, $165K in currently pending external contracts, $172K (including burden on contracts) pending to keep tasks at JPL synchronized with contracts.  Revised plan shows 88% expended by end of FY, requires 12% carry-over to synchronize budget with revised schedule
**Causes of deviation**
- Delayed start of project activities to accommodate MSR (Drill)MRO (detector) critical activities
- Unexpected procurement delays, exacerbated by abnormal New Frontiers, MSL, and Discovery proposal stackup
**Recovery Plan**
- Procurement issues nearly resolved
- All ’04 milestones will be completed in calendar ’04 except waveguides and gratings (6 month slip)
- Schedule fully recovered by 6/30/05

**Growing Supermassive Black Holes**** in ****Cosmological AMR Simulations   **

- 1. JILA, University of Colorado    2. Fermilab   3. University of Chicago

## Why use adaptive techniques?

- Small scale-physics
- (hydrodynamics, radiative transfer, etc...)
**+**
-  cosmological context
-  (major evolutionary events)
****** ****need a LARGE dynamic range!**

## Hydrodynamic Adaptive Refinement Tree(a cosmological hydrodynamic code)

- Includes
- dark matter, stars, gas dynamics
- star formation and feedback
- physics of the ISM
- radiative transfer
- gas cooling by heavy elements and dust under the assumption of collisional ionization equilibrium

***(Kravtsov, Klypin, & Khokhlov)***

## Using the Zoom-in Approach

- Initial conditions: 1,700 kpc cosmological simulation with a single milky way progenitor galaxy (resolution of ~ 50 pc-- 9 refinement levels)
- ~1.5 kpc region centered on galaxy allowed to refine further
- replace gas from densest region with a supermassive black hole
- measure accretion of matter and follow the transport of angular momentum on different scales
- repeat above process at different cosmological epochs, measuring accretion rates as a function of time
- Quite feasible to conduct parallel tests involving different physical processes!

## Zooming in...

**Zooming in...**

- (similar to simulations of the 1st star by Abel, Bryan, and Norman (2002))

## Density Profile

**Density Profile**

**10 orders of magnitude!**

## Questions about SBH growth...

**Questions about SBH growth...**

- Mass accretion rates?
- dark matter, stars, gas
- time, radial dependence
- Angular momentum?
- Feedback effects?
- opening angle
- efficiency
- Merger rate?

** ****Drawing Credit: ** A. Hobart, CXC

## Average gas accretion rate over time from a very simple run

**Average gas accretion rate over time from a very simple run**
-  Initial simulation z = 4
-  BH mass = 3107 M
-  maximum refinement level 15 (~0.8 pc)
-  no feedback!
-  measurement of accretion rates non-trivial!

## Summary & Future Direction

- The technique of AMR allows us to measure accretion rates on a *computationally challenging* wide range of scales at many different epochs, including realistic evolutionary events and small-scale physics.
- The approach is complimentary to observational, semi-analytic and other numerical methods of studying SBH growth, and will provide useful boundary conditions for simulations of accretion disks.
- The inclusion of feedback and eventually mergers, will soon give an even more realistic picture of SBH growth.

## UDDI

- Motivation from the “e-business” community
- Consortium of major computer systems vendors including by Ariba, Microsoft, IBM, Sun
- Not necessarily “new” concept or technically rich (especially in the current drafts)
- But lot of enthusiasm and support which is _more important _for interoperability standard

## UDDI

- e-marketplace model
- Businesses advertise services
- Customers/clients locate services (c.f. registries of Z39.50 services ala IndexData/SeaChange or ILL/NCIP proposed directories)
- Client software obtain protocol level information needed to connect and interact with the service (c.f. Explain)

## UDDI

- Data are in XML model
- Interaction with the registry (search, update etc.) via SOAP (i.e. XML normally over http)

- UDDI is a “next layer” in an emerging stack enabling rich Web services. UDDI uses standards-based technologies such as TCP/IP, HTTP, XML and SOAP to create a uniform service description format and service discovery protocol.

## Data Model				UDDI

## Explain and UDDI

- Alternative mechanism for publishing Explain and Explain-lite (registry of servers)
- UDDI front to existing Explain
- Why? Increased visibility of services

## ASN.1 and WSDL 

- ASN.1 could be recast in WSDL
- Could produce the core spec. better suited to XML encodings
- Next generation tools would build SOAP/XP layers automagically on discovering the protocol from the UDDI register
- Raises the visibility of Z39.50

## Directories				UDDI

- Z39.50 Service Registry?
- ILL/NCIP Registry?
- (Possibly as front to Explain/LDAP?)

## UDDI

- Technical Issues
- Very naïve search interface _at the moment_ (Z39.50 role?)
- Metadata model is still naïve (Role for ISO 2146 like work?)
- Issues of global distributed registry (replication)
- Multiple related tModels (e.g. reflecting the relationship between protocol, attribute sets, profiles, and service specifics)

- Lot of interest/backing_**THIS IS WHERE TO BE SEEN TO ATTRACT e-CUSTOMERS**_

## Safety Belt Benefits

**The 2% increase means:**
- 5.5 million more people buckling up
- 500 lives saved
- Reduce severity of 8,800 serious injuries

## Slide 5

**Notes:**
    Our critical function in domestic security is the support of  traffic law enforcement. 
	The most effective surveillance and counter-terrorism is done by the cop on the beat. 
	The worst domestic terroist in the country’s history was apprehended on a traffic stop. 
	Two of the foreign terrorists were encountered in traffic stops days before Sept 11, and but for the lack of real-time data, one could have been brought in on a traffic warrant. 
	The fall-out from Sept. 11 will impact the ability of agencies to provide traffic enforcement services -- services that are essential to saving lives.  
    Across the country law enforcement personnel have been and will continue to be re-directed to domestic security matters.

## Advanced Composition Explorer

- Measuring the Solar Wind and Solar Flares

**Oscar Puente **
**Mentor: Dr. Paul Marchese**

## Research Findings

- The solar wind contains more low energy particles than it does those of higher energies
- These particles can escape the sun’s gravity more easily
- They require less energy to be excited and shot away from the sun
- Electrons are more abundant in the solar wind than protons, and they travel more quickly
- Electrons weigh less than protons and therefore require less energy to enter the solar wind
- Elements of higher weights (He, O, Fe) are only present in the solar wind during times of great solar activity
- They weigh more than H+ ions and electrons

## Future Work

- Compare solar wind data from ACE to magnestosphere/ionoshphre data from the Earth
- Find out how the solar wind affects the earth’s magnetic fields
- Find predictable patterns in changes caused by the solar wind

## Rio Grande 

- Case Study

## Rio Grande River Basin

**Notes:**
Recent relief map of the US illustrating the Rio Grande River basin. 

The Rio Grande for the most part has levees at all major cities. The problem is the Rio Grande is the international boundary and under the authority of IBWC. FEMA never studied the Rio Grande because IBWC initially (in early 1970’s) said the levees provide 100-year protection. IBWC, in a recent letter to Dona Ana County, NM stated that the current Rio Grande levees will be overtopped or fail in many areas during the 100-year flood event. Texas A&M conducted a damage survey along the Rio Grande for the IBWC to estimate expected damages from the 100-year event. The study has not been released but there is lots of data available from USACE and A&M.
