## GPRA:  New Climate Observations Introduced

-      FY2005 Target: 1014 new ocean observing platforms deployed and reporting;
-      Sep 2005: 1133 total ocean observing platforms (relative to total FY04 deployments); 589 ARGO floats

- Sep. 05

## GPRA:  Reduce the Error in Global Measurements of Sea Surface Temperature

**Reduce the error in global measurement of Sea **

**surface Temperature**

**Year**

-      FY05 target: 0.5 °C; Long-term Target: Error of 0.2 °C by 2008
-      Long-term measure:  annual targets, progress reported quarterly

- More rapid expansion of the in situ network over the next several years will minimize the satellite bias error, enabling more accurate global sea surface temperature from a combination of satellite and in situ measurements.

- Note: this measure is proposed as a new GPRA for FY2006; it is already reported on quarterly

- Satellite bias error: the systematic difference between satellite-derived vs. in situ measurements of sea surface temperature

## OPTIMIZING THE RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS: TWO SUGGESTIONS

- FDA/CDER ANESTHETIC AND LIFE SUPPORT DRUGS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
-  9 September 2003
- Daniel Carr, MD
- Tufts -New England Medical Center

## IN AN IDEAL WORLD...

- Prospective identification, plans for patients at risk of undertreatment of pain and adverse effects of Rx
- Prompt (?pre-emptive) individualized antinociceptive, and palliative interventions -- including adjuvants
- Effective treatments, based upon rigorous evidence
- Standardized data capture (effects, adverse effects)
- Supportive climate: policies, payment, attitudes
- Recognition at the system level that
- disease burden of undertreated pain outweighs that of abuse, addiction, diversion
- people have always, and will always, treat their pain
- adverse effects often preclude adequate pain control

## EBM:24,000 Citations Screened for 2001+2002 AHRQ Cancer Symptom Reports

## Problems with “the Evidence”

- RCTs a tiny fraction of the literature
- 675 of 13,000 (acute pain, 1992)
- 180 of 20,000 (cancer pain, 2001)
- 218 of 24,000 (cancer pain NCI/NIH SOTSC, 2002)
- vast majority are observational or describe a technique
- underpowering a pervasive problem
- Pooled efficacy estimates precluded by heterogeneity of diagnosis, patient, outcomes
- 125 instruments in 218 pain trials for 2002 SOTSC
- even worse picture for non-pain symptoms
- 2003 Sysrev on opioid side effects (McNicol et al) hampered by lack of focus to date

## Towards an Answer (1)

- To date, assessment of effects and side effects of drugs have proceeded in different dimensions [Mannheimer, Cochrane Collab]
- effects: prospective, deliberately sought via instruments more likely to reflect consensus
- side effects: captured if volunteered, ad hoc
- Given side effects’ clinical importance, consensus instruments/methods should be encouraged, possibly required
- Standardization of instruments will allow pooling of data not currently possible

## Towards an Answer (2)

- Discouraging clinicians from prescribing controlled substances worsens underRx
- Thus, adding to risk management burdens may INCREASE societal risks from undertreated pain or unregulated analgesics (street drugs, alcohol, OTC NSAIDs...)
- True “risk” is aggregated and system-wide
- Shutting one spigot in a multi-spigot system:
- increases the aggregate impedance, slightly
- shifts flow through other spigots

## Spallation neutron studies  →  full absorption (≈100%) targets of heavy & dense materials (Pb, Unat) are used.

- It is claimed that the facility can serve as a **multi-purpose** one for future operations.
- The 1-cm thick copper target (10% of interaction length) is considered as a generic (modest “averaged”) target.

## Muons, Inc.

## Accidental beam loss

- Deflection upward due malfunction of upstream magnets as high as **50 mrad** (for 8-GeV proton beam accidents at Fermilab booster a deflection angle of about **1 mrad** is usually considered).
- Duration of an accident ~ a few minutes.
- Calculated dose rate on the top of the berm = 0.016 mrem/s = 1 mrem/min = 60 mrem/hr.

## Calculated dose rate on the top of the MTA berm at normal operation

## Beam absorber and groundwater activation

## Conclusions

- With the current beam absorber design the groundwater contamination with tritium does not exceed the EPA limits.
- The existing berm–10.5 ft soil–allows to run at rep.rates significantly lower than 15 Hz.  It is a matter of choice/money – run at low intensity for a long time or build a local shielding and run at high intensity.
*Significant local shielding around the RF test cell (Muons, Inc.) is required to irradiate the cell at maximum beam intensity (rep.rate).  Alternative – running at low rep. rate ~ 1 pulse/min.*
*The penetrations between the target hall and the cryo room is a problem.  Extra local shielding is required.*

## “Strawperson” NIH DirectoryDIT Design

- NIH AMG Technical
- Subcommittee

## Introduction

- Some objects to be represented:
- persons	- places
- devices		- organizations
- groups		- services
- Focus initially on:
**persons**
**groups **(for directory access control and management)

## Introduction (Continued)

- DIT must support:
- object **addressing**
- interactive **browsing** (e.g., moving around DIT and listing contents)
- LDAP client **searching** (e.g., scope, search bases)
- DIT design strategy:
- Use **flat namespace** to provide stable DNs for addressing
- Construct deep **views** of flat namespace to support browsing and searching

## NIH Directory Information Tree

- groups

- people

- geographic

- CIT

- = view namespace

- = stable namespace

- ...

- Bethesda

- bldgs

- MD

- NC

- = view generation path

- people

- 10

## DIT Design Issues

- View objects
- Copies
- Allows a particular view to have a subset of attributes that may exist in source object
- Attribute updates (if allowed) are delayed
- Aliases
- Object view identical to source object
- Attribute updates are immediate
- Not all directory services support aliases
- Can use either for different views

## DIT Design Issues (continued)

- RDNs of People Objects
- uniqueIdentifier
- DN never changes
- Meaningless to people who see DNs
- Common Name (e.g. “Johnson, Mary A1”)
- DN may change
- More meaningful representation of person’s name
- One postalAddress, telephoneNumber, secretary, etc. enough for people who work for multiple organizations?

## Slide 3

## Slide 4

## 2050 Strategic Objectives

- To sustain a coastal ecosystem with the essential functions and values of the natural ecosystem
- To restore the ecosystem to the highest practicable acreage of productive and diverse wetlands
- To accomplish this restoration through an integrated program that has multiple use benefits; benefits not solely for wetlands, but for all the communities and resources of the coast.

## 2050 Strategic Goals

- Assure vertical accumulation to achieve sustainability
- Maintain estuarine gradient to achieve diversity
- Maintain exchange and interface to achieve system linkages

## Slide 7

## Slide 8

## La Branche Project

- 300 ac (1.2 km2) of open water converted to land
- 2.7 million cubic yards deposited
- 4 months for construction
- $ 3,500,000  cost

## Use of Abandoned Pipelines

- Pipeline system is statewide, interconnected & high density in wetlands and coast
- Excess capacity as oil/gas fields are depleted
- Eliminates removal impacts and costs
- Industry in-kind contribution to coastal restoration

## Slide 11

## Slide 12

## Wetland Restoration Needs

- Current loss rate 12,000 acres/yr (48 km2)
- Rebuilding objective 12,000 acres/yr
- Total objective 24,000 acres/yr (96 km2)
- Equivalent to 80 “La Branches”  per year

## Wetland Rebuilding Strategy 

- Create General Permit type designs for wetland types
- Provide industry with priority locations, rights of way,  & sediment source information
- Build 80 lowest cost “La Branches” per year based upon competitive bids
- Manage diversions and sediment re-nourishment using monitoring and ecosystem modeling

## Corals

- Landlords of the Reefs

## What should you know about corals?

- They are animals
- Plants live inside of them
- Two kinds
- Soft corals
- Hard corals (These build reefs!)
- They are made of tiny polyps (which look like upside-down jellyfish)

## Hard CoralsThe Reef Builders

- Polyps build hard limestone cups around their bases
- The cups cement together to make a coral colony
- Reefs are made of hundreds of hard coral colonies next to and on top of each other

## What’s a Polyp?

- Tentacles release stinging cells when something brushes by them
- Polyps make their own limestone cup to hide in during the day
- At night, polyps come out to catch plankton floating by.

## Slide 5

## Zoo-what!?!  Algae, Coral Polyps’ Tenants

- Inside polyps live zooxanthellae, which are algae.
- Zooxanthellae give corals their color.
- Since algae are plants, they use sunlight and CO2 to make food (the process known as photosynthesis).

## Symbiosis:So Happy Together

- Two organisms living together and helping each other is called ***symbiosis***.
- Zooxanthellae make oxygen, remove the polyp’s wastes, and make food for the polyp from photosynthesis.
- Coral polyps protect the zooxanthellae, release CO2, and provide it with necessary nutrients from their own waste.

## Mutually Beneficial SymbiosisA Win-Win Situation

- Egyptian Plover bird and crocodile
- Bumblebee and flowers
- Lichens (fungi and algae)
- Your intestine and bacteria

## Parasitic Symbiosis A Win-Lose Situation

- Tapeworms and intestines
- Ticks and dogs
- Mistletoe and trees

## How are these mutually symbiotic?

## Why Use RSIGuard?

- wrists or arms or sore eyes at the end of a long day at the computer?
- If so, you have experienced computer-related discomfort that can
- progress to a work-related injury if you ignore these telltale signs.
- RSIGuard is a software application designed to help reduce
- your exposure to computer-related discomfort, encourage
- healthier work habits and allow you track your progress.
- Why software? When you think of ergonomic solutions, do you think of things like adjustable chairs
- and curved keyboards? Adjustable furniture and ergo equipment can go along way to improve your
- postures and your comfort over the day.
-            However, fixed body positions, long periods of work without rest breaks, and inefficient use or misuse
-            of equipment will likely cause discomfort even in the best environment over time.
-            Software can dynamically remind you to be aware of how you interact with your workstation and remind
-            you to pay attention to your body and rest when needed.

## RSIGuard Helps Minimize Risk

- Aside from making ergonomic sense, intelligent break timing makes the breaks feel much less intrusive. During breaks you will be shown videos of suggested stretches to help your body feel more comfortable and minimize your risk of developing a work-related injury.

## Customize your break settings & stretches

- The Setup Wizard will walk you through a half-dozen questions that
- will help you customize your break timer reminders and the types of
- stretches and posture checks based on your preferences.
*If you think that frequent break reminders will get on your nerves, be sure *
*to select longer rest break intervals and greater willpower to take breaks!*

## Finished: RSI Icon Appears on Taskbar

- If you click the RSI icon, it will bring up the timer window so you can periodically check on your break status, adjust your settings
