- Widely different quotes
- Widely different scopes
- Widely different quality of analysis
- Time lost in comparison/ clarification
- Work assigned to lowest bidder resulting in
- Narrow scope

## Purpose

- Provide the “user” (e.g., NRC) with the ability to limit access to models and conceptual site modeling scenarios

## Problem Description

- Models Associated with a Domain—lock the models within the Domain
- CSM Simulation—lock the CSM simulation picture.  Altering icons and the way in which they are connected to each other will not be allowed.
- Model associated with an Icon Type—lock a specific model to a specific icon type.  Only one applicable model will be available to the user, assuming the connections are valid.

- In context of FRAMES, a **Domain** represents a specific collection of models, usually created by a user for a special purpose (e.g., 3MRA Domain).  Three locking options have been developed to limit the user’s ability to change models or Conceptual Site Models (CSMs) within FRAMES:

- The United States Congress Adopted the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance act which was amended by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000
- The act authorizes the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)    to make grants to states for a number of purposes including mitigation.
- The grant contract between FEMA and the state authorizes the state to make grants to local governments for mitigation projects.

## Multicomponent Block CopolymersAs Precursors to Functional Nanoporous MaterialsMarc A. Hillmyer, University of Minnesota, DMR 0605880

**Nanoporous materials** are useful as selective separation membranes and catalysts supports. As we and others have shown, they can be prepared from **ordered block copolymers**. While quite versatile nanoporous materials result, they tend to suffer from poor mechanical performance. To address this deficiency, we have designed and synthesized an **A****B****A****C** **tetrablock terpolymer** containing an etchable component. This hybrid macromolecule can self-assemble to give an ordered precursor to a **nanaporous** ***A******B******A**** ****triblock copolymer*** after removal of the C block. Such triblocks are inherently tough thermoplastic elastomers, and thus the resulting nanoporous materials should exhibit exceptional mechanical properties. Studies are underway to assess the efficacy of this approach to high performance membrane materials for advanced applications in, for example, **water purification and biocatalysis**.

- Poly(styrene)-poly(isoprene)-poly(styrene)-poly(lactide) (PS-PI-PS-PLA) tetrablock copolymer. The PLA phase is chemically etchable.

## Multicomponent Block CopolymersAs Precursors to Functional Nanoporous MaterialsMarc A. Hillmyer, University of Minnesota, DMR 0605880

- The PI participated in three education and outreach activities since the beginning of 2007. These activities were targeted at young audiences and were designed to generate enthusiasm for and further interest in science and engineering. Over the past 7 months the PI:
- (1) performed a set of classroom science demonstrations for the first graders at Burroughs Elementary School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The theme of the demonstrations was “Chemical Changes”.
- (2) gave a plenary lecture (w/ Prof. Frank Bates) for a visit to the University of Minnesota by a group of young scholars from the Davidson Institute. The theme of the presentation was “Chemical Energy” (*top figure*).
- (3) co-organized and participated in “Polymer Day: You make it, you break it”, an event for high school students interested in careers in Science & Engineering. Part of the focus was on synthesis of polymers, and the students got hands on experience in the lab (*bottom figure*).

**To get improvement on model cold bias, EMC implemented  AER Rapid Radiative Transfer Model (RRTM) on 8/28/2003.  RRTM utilizes the correlated-k approach to calculate fluxes and heating rates efficiently and accurately.**

**Notes:**
Key features of RRTM_LW are:
k-distributions are obtained directly from a line-by-line radiative transfer code, LBLRTM , which has been extensively validated against observations, principally at the ARM SGP site 
fluxes and cooling  rates can be calculated over sixteen bands contiguous bands in the longwave (10-3250 cm-1) 
modeled molecular absorbers are:  water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone, nitrous oxide, methane, oxygen, nitrogen and halocarbons. 
fluxes calculated by RRTM agree with those computed by LBLRTM within 1.0 W/m2 at all levels, and the computed cooling rates agree to within 0.1 K/day in the troposphere and 0.3 K/day in the stratosphere. 
water clouds: 
The optical properties of water clouds are calculated for each spectral band from the Hu and Stamnes parameterization.  The optical depth,  single-scattering albedo, and asymmetry parameter are parameterized as a function of cloud equivalent radius and liquid water path.  Reference: Hu, Y. X., and K. Stamnes, An accurate parameterization of the radiative properties of water clouds suitable for use in climate models.  J. Climate, Vol. 6, 728-742, 1993. 
ice clouds: 
The optical properties of ice clouds are calculated for each spectral band from the ice particle parameterization from Fu, Yang, and Sun (J. Climate, Vol 11, 1998, pp. 2223 - 2237).

## HiRISE Image Challenge

- November 13, 2007 Webcast

## How to analyze an image

- Where is the image located?  What are distinctive features in the area?  Is it an old (heavily cratered) area, or a younger terrain?
- Look at the full browse-scale image: what features do you see?  What can these things tell you about the geology of the area?
- Zoom in on something interesting: What is the texture of the feature?  Do you see any interesting patterns or features?
- Keep zooming in until you are all the way zoomed in to full resolution.  What can you see that you couldn’t see before?
- Now look at the color: What does the color image tell you that the black and white image didn’t?

## Five Levels of Inspections

- Level I – North American Standard Inspection
- Level II – Walk-Around Driver/Vehicle Inspection
- Level III – Driver-Only Inspection
- Level IV – Special Inspections
- Level V – Vehicle-Only Inspection

- conducted at any  location.

- Level V

## Thank you

- Every driver must go through an inspection at some point; as long as you are properly prepared and following U.S. guidelines there should be no problems.
- Thank you for your time and attention.

## Revenue Neutrality 

**Revenue Neutrality**
**Staff Presentation**
**July 20, 2005**

## Revenue Neutrality

- The Treasury Department estimates the revenue implications of our plans.
- The starting point for any revenue estimate is a “revenue baseline.”  The baseline serves as the benchmark for measuring the effects of proposed tax law changes.
- Treasury uses the Administration’s 10-year projection of Federal receipts as the baseline in the revenue estimates they prepare for the Panel.
- The Administration baseline assumes that EGTRRA (2001) and JGTRRA (2003) sunsets are repealed and the temporary AMT provisions expire in 2005.

## Revenue Estimates

- Revenue estimates are reported as point estimates and are calculated in nominal dollars.
- Revenue estimates are provided over a 10-year period, often referred to as the "budget window."
- Conventional revenue estimating techniques
- Conventional revenue estimates hold macroeconomic aggregates (e.g., gross domestic product and total employee compensation) fixed.
- Conventional revenue estimates are not static, but micro-dynamic.
- Taxpayers' likely behavioral responses to proposed changes in tax law are taken into account
- Takes into account a variety of responses, including changes in the timing of transactions and income recognition, changes in entity form, shifts between business sectors, shifts in portfolio holdings, shifts between taxable and non-taxable consumption, and tax planning and avoidance strategies.
