## Engineering Operations

-  Coming out of a 2 week maintenance period.  As of our last run day (6/4), NSTX completed 14.7 weeks of operations this year.  During this time there were 1800 plasma attempts resulting in 1618 plasmas.
-  Plasma operations to resume on Monday with 5 weeks of operations plus 1 week contingency scheduled through July 30th.  Extended run days are planned for Tuesdays and Thursdays, and a possible extension into the 1st week of August if we decide to run for 20 weeks this year.
-  The Lithium Pellet Injector is open to vessel vacuum and is undergoing pre-operational testing.
-  The power supply has been tested and bus links installed for operation of the PF4 coil.  Final connections will be made after a review of the proposed operating currents (18kA in PF4, 4kA in PF5) for upcoming experiments.

## Engineering Operations

-  Work continues on the Cap Bank for transient CHI start-up, vying for resources with other maintenance week activities.  The Cap Bank should be complete by the end of next week and the snubber circuit ready to install in the test cell by the weekend (6/26).
-  The mounting supports and coil sections for the 1st two RWM coils (Coil #2/#5) will be complete and installed this week.  Work will continue off-line to complete the coil links and then to complete connections over the next two weekends.

- The conductivity of the alluvium and bedrock is controlled by the matrix (sediment or rock), porosity, pore space saturation, and conductivity of pore solutions (water or leachate).
- Conductivity is a good measure of salinity in water. Other indirect measures are water density, sound speed, and refractive index. All can be used to calculate salinity.

## Nanomaterials for Live Cell TrackingPI: Greg Boebinger, National High Magnetic Field LaboratoryFlorida State University, University of Florida, Los Alamos National Laboratory NSF Award Number: DMR-0084173 

-                                 To increase the sensitivity and resolution of magnetic resonance and optical imaging of biological tissue, scientists at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) and the Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy Facility developed multimodal nanoparticles (NPs) that generate high optical contrast and large magnetic resonance response.
-    Monodisperse NPs of many compositions have been developed, each coated with an organic layer to be compatible with living cells. These include semiconductor quantum dots, super-paramagnetic iron oxide NPs, magnetic NPs, dye-doped NPs, and gadolinium (Gd) NPs.  This interdisciplinary research takes advantage of the NHMFL’s unique high-field magnets through development of contrast mechanisms that actually increase with magnetic fields as high as 21 teslas (900 MHz).

- At left are living cells labeled with Gd nanoparticles, each containing a semiconductor quantum dot engineered to provide very high contrast in large magnetic fields. The image at right, taken at 750MHz, illustrates live cell tracking in a neonatal mouse brain. Pink indicates nanoparticle-labelled neuroprogenitor cells and models damage resulting from hypoxia.

## Where did the Neutrons go?Paul Huffman/Bob GolubNorth Carolina State University

## History / Overview

- Pre-proposal contains detailed calculations of the LANL flux and production rate based on calculated LANL fluxes
- Scaling of LANL numbers to SNS fluxes done based on some rough guidelines given by Tribble report in the early stages of the FNPB project
- Paul Koehler’s simulations of the FNPB began afterwards
- Detailed simulations followed as the beamline was designed, procured, and installed (PRH and Tito)
- Minimum specifications on the FNPB were set based on the scaled numbers

## Pre-Proposal numbers

- LANL flux: 1.2 x 107 neutrons/_x0001_Å/cm2/s
- Based on measurements on FP 11 assuming an average proton current of 150 uA
- Jen-Chieh calculated a single phonon production rate of 0.4 UCN/s/cm3 at LANL for an unpolarized beam
- A value of 1 UCN/s/cm3 is however used in the proposal calculations
- The LANL numbers got worse after the pre-proposal because the source brightness was measured to be ~1/2 less

## Tribble report scaling numbers

- “Comparison of Time-Averaged Fluxes of Beamlines for FNPB” - Draft March ‘03
- Normalized fluence for FNPB = 29 x LANL
- Based on following factors:x (3.5)2 / (3.0)2 =1.36 - ratio of m-valuesx 120 / 90 = 1.33 - ratio of guide areasx 71 / 4.4 = 16.1 - ratio of cold source brightness (x 3 for running time)
- Calculated cold source brightness at LANL100 uA @80 kW operation -- scaling factor is 19 at 150 uADoes not include fact that actual flux down by x 2
- These SNS flux numbers did not include:guide reflectivities, curvature, windows, gaps, monochromators ...

## So far . . .

- 0.4 UCN/s/cm3 vs. 1 UCN/s/cm3
- 150 uA vs. 100 uA
- 29 UCN/s/cm3 x (0.4 x 100 / 1.0 x 150) = 7.7 UCN/s/cm3

## More realistic SNS numbers

- Initial calculations by Paul Koehler and Wei Lu.  These numbers used by Bob et al. in his paper that calculates UCN production rates at various facilities.  (See Bob for a copy.)
- Calculated both a straight guide and ballistic guide
- 10 x 12 guide, m=3.5, 98% at m=1 and 80% at m=3.5
- 5 channel bender, no gaps
- Flux = 4.2 x 107 n/_x0001_Å/cm2/s -> 1.8 UCN/s/cm3

## So far . . .

- 0.4 UCN/s/cm3 vs. 1 UCN/s/cm3
- 150 uA vs. 100 uA
- 29 UCN/s/cm3 x (0.4 x 100 / 1.0 x 150) -> 7.7 UCN/s/cm3
- 4.2 x 107 n/_x0001_Å/cm2/s -> 1.8 UCN/s/cm3

## More refined calculations

- Includes longer guide, monochromators, gaps, choppers, shutters, etc.
- 9 Å flux at end of 15 m guide = 4 x 107 n/_x0001_Å/cm2/s
- 9 Å flux at end of 30 m guide with 2 monochomators (straight guide) = 4.5 x 106 n/_x0001_Å/cm2/s
- But guide is bigger - 10 x 12 -> 14 x 16, so for equal areas, flux = 8.4 x 106 n/_x0001_Å/cm2/s (÷ 5)
- Ballistic guide: increase by 75% = 1.5 x 107 n/_x0001_Å/cm2/s

## More refined calculations, cont.

- 1.5 x 107 n/_x0001_Å/cm2/s ÷ 2 for polarization = 7.5 x 106 n/_x0001_Å/cm2/s
- -> UCN production rate of 0.3 UCN/cm3/s
- Maybe a factor of x2 by matching the guide size to the cell sizes, but probably a factor of 2 loss in the polarizer(?).
- Could possibly gain ~10-20% by focusing monochromator crystals
- Future 2 MW upgrade (~40%)

## Evidence for mammals as amplification hosts of WNV

- K.B. Platt and W.A. Rowley
- Iowa State University

## Background

- The mosquito-bird-mosquito paradigm
- Mammals might be more important than previously believed especially those that occur in peridomestic settings

## Focus points

- Low levels of viremia can be infective for zoophilic and opportunistic mosquitoes.
- The cottontail rabbit, chipmunk and squirrel can be a source of WNV for mosquitoes.
- The potential for a mosquito-mammal-mosquito enzootic cycle exists.

## Summary and conclusions

- Rabbits, chipmunks and squirrels develop    viremias sufficient to infect known enzootic and bridge vectors.
- Implications of a mosquito-mammal-mosquito enzootic cycle in suburban areas can not be underestimated relative to the epidemiology of WNV.

- Support for these studies provided by the CDC                       (Grant # 1RO1C1000267-01)

## Results of BTeV Database Workshop

- Please see :
- DBMS and TOOls Comparison talk by Pavel Semenov
- Possible Database Categories from first Survey by Joel Butler
- Online Database Support Experience by Nelly Stanfield
-  Database API by Dennis Box

## Comparison of  Databases

- MySql and PostgreSQL and Oracle
- MySql and PostgreSQL
- 			Open Source software
- 			Commercial Support
- 			Both available in KITS

## Comparison of  Databases

- Drawbacks of MySQL vs PostgreSQL
- Future MySql versions will have
- Constraints
- Foreign Keys
- Views
- Stored Procedures
- PostgreSQL has these now.

## Comparison of  Databases

- Oracle – Includes all features discussed with MySQL and PostgreSQL but in addition:
- Stable, strong support
- More DB administration features
- Large data
- Drawbacks for Oracle – commercial, cost, administration support

## MySql and PostgreSQL

- PostGreSQL seems to be a 'real database', MySQL seems to be a 'File System with an SQL interface'. MySQL is faster because file systems are faster than databases.
- Our recommendation is to use MySql and Postgres to prototype but dont count on growing it into a production system without switching to Oracle.

## Middleware

- JDBC
- ODBC

## Design Tools – Recommended	

- DBDesigner – Open source, ER diagrams drawing and conversion from DDL, Generates DDL for MySQL and PostreSQL, Only at first stage of development
- DIA with UML plug in  - Open source, ER diagram drawing and general ddl, Tested with MySQL and PostgreSQL only, not very convenient
- DeZign – Commercial not cheap. ER diagram drawing. Generates DDL for MySQL, PosgreSQL
- Oracle Designer Tool – Commercial not cheap.Does not generate DDL for MySQL and PostgreSQL, ER diagram drawing

## MiniBooNE Status

*Eric Prebys*
- FNAL Beams Division

## A Cautionary Tale About the Beamline

- Look at the number of multiwires in your design.
- Increase the number.
- People will tell you this is not necessary.
- These people are lying.
- Power up the beamline with your design optics.
- Do a power on access to verify all magnet polarities and control paths.
- People will tell you this is not necessary.
- These people are lying.
- Now on to the Booster...

## Protons to MiniBooNE this Week

- Total

- MiniBooNE

- Stacking

## In Short...

- MiniBooNE is running.
- We typically take 1.5-2.0 times as many protons as stacking.
- This number needs to go up by about a factor of 8.

## What it Limiting MiniBooNE

- (Longitudinal?) instabilities in the Booster are limiting the per pulse intensity to ~4E12 ppp.
- Normalized tunnel losses limit the total protons to about 2E16 pph when the Booster is running well.
- Beam power loss limit (currently 400 W) is similar.
- Heating in the extraction septum (MP02) currently limits MiniBooNE rate to ~.9 Hz during stacking.

## Effect of Longitudinal Damping

- High Dispersion Region

- No Dampers

- Dampers Working

- Occasional Bad Pulse at High Intensity (trips loss monitors)

## Tunnel Losses

## Limit Summary

## A Fairly Bad 9 Hour Period

- Per pulse intensity (E12)

- MiniBooNE rate (p/hr)

- Booster Power Loss

## Plan

- New Power Supply is Ready for MP02.  Negotiating time to connect.
- At the same time, we will do a magnet move which should improve some of the worst losses (L13, L22, L24).
- Review of collimator shielding design on Monday.  Build and install shielding over next few months to bring collimators on line.
- Progress in beam position correction.  Soon implemented full time.
- New extraction septum installed during January shutdown.

## Digitizing NGSPhoto Index Map SheetsClimate Database Modernization ProgramWorkshop 2008 Santa Cruz, CATim BlackfordNGS/NOSNovember 5, 2008

## Photo Index Background

* **Collection of about 2500 photo index map sheets identify location *
*    **and auxiliary information about NGS Aerial Photography.*
* **Indexes are used as a source for researching orders for photos.*
* **Many of the photo centers were digitized directly from the indexes *
*    **(not from scans) 15-20 years ago to build the FIF.*
* **But much of the existing digital index data is incomplete and contains*
*    **many errors.*
* **Most indexes (2120) have been scanned in MrSID format.*
* **Many of the MrSID images (~half) have already been georeferenced.*

## Photo Index Background

## The Task

** ****PART I:**
** ****NOAA staff will pack the 2500 indexes and ship to contractor**
** ****Contractor will organize and inventory indexes**
** ****Contractor will scan and georeference the indexes in GeoPDF format**
** ****PART II:**
** ****Extract (digitize) the photo center points in ESRI shapefile format**
** ****Collect attribute information for the photo points**
-  **Use NOAA supplied Photographic Flight Reports for Quality Control**
** ****Compare extracted points with NOAA supplied Frame Index File (FIF)**

## Photo Index Shapefile Attributes

**ExposeNum:** Sequential number of the image (0146)
**SpotNumber:** Internal indexing system; written on Photographic Flight Report (056-022)
**RollNumber:** Internal indexing system; written on Photographic Flight Report (91AP01)
**ExposeDate:**  Date image was acquired (30-APR-1991)
**Scale:** Image scale, in thousands (Example: 30 means 1:30,000)
**FlightLine:** The flight line identifier within the project (30-01)
**QuadName:** Name of the Quadrangle Map on which index is based (Tulsa)
**State:** State in which the image is located (OK)
**PhotoIndexNum:** Identifier in lower right margin of index (129-E-F**3**(IR))

- Proyecto Hombre, Spain

## A Practice Guide on the Setting up & Implementation of Drug Dependence Treatment in Prisons

- Maximise access to treatment
- What, why & how
- International applicability
- Integrated and effective

## “Methodology”

- Review of provision and issues
- ‘can do approach’
- Key issues in provision in prison
- Research best practice examples
- The ‘mechanics’ of delivery
- International guidelines
- references

## Working in Prison and Working with Prisons – Cranstoun’s Experience

## Key Issues

- Security
- Staff training
- Service Provision

## A prison is a prison ....

- Security is paramount
- Drugs are a security issue
- Demand reduction and supply reduction must go hand in hand
- Behaviour change not substance use = indicator of success
- Coercive treatment has a role

## Training

- Prison Warders
- Prison Managers
- Health and Drug Services Staff
- Attitudes and Beliefs about Substance Use
- Security inc confidentiality
- On the job
- Develop understanding
- Knowledge + Skills Based

## Service Provision

- Prison Health is Public Health
- Equivalence
- Range of Treatment Provision – treatment continuum, models of working
- Risk Reduction
- Prisoner Choice + match of interventions
- Therapeutic issues in the prison context
- Diversity issues

## ‘What Works’

- Advice & information services
- Assessment and referral
- Care planned counselling
- Counselling & psychotherapy
- Substitution treatment
- Detoxification

- Prescribing
- Relapse prevention
- Social & Life Skills
- Treatment Programmes – TC’s, CBT, 12 Step
- Drug Free Wings
- Drug Testing
- Peer Led Initiatives

## Experiences

- Think the unthinkable and encourage others to do the same
- Look for the similarities & not the differences
- See things from others points of view
- Shared care
- Joint working with statutory services

## Issues

- Flexibility to try something different v ‘what works’
- Unrealistic expectations – staff, prisons
- Gaining experience, takes experience to support delivery – accessing this
- Not just abstinence
- Not just drugs
- HIV and Hepatitis

## How – Cranstoun inc ENDIPP

- Conferences and seminars
- Training academies
- Service visits
- Study visits + exchanges
- Networking – regional, international & criminal justice agencies
- Partnerships
- Mentoring
