## Strong Coupling Expansions for Models of Strongly Correlated Electrons

- A central hypothesis of the field of high Tc superconductivity is that strong, 2D electronic correlations are the source of the superconducting behavior.  This has proven to be a very difficult point to show by unbiased calculations.  The PI has discovered (cond-mat/0507430) that the difficulty lies in choosing an appropriate correlation function.  The resulting correlation length for dx2-y2 pairing, as found in experiments, grows strongly with decreasing temperature.  Also, the correlation lengths for other symmetry pairs (s and dxy) remain small.

## MNM Fatal 2007-19

- Fall of Person Accident
- July 29, 2007 (Tennessee)
- Zinc Operation
- Contract Miner/Driller
- 29 years old
- 3 years experience

## Overview

- The victim was fatally injured while working
- from the top of a shaft conveyance (cage) in
- the main shaft compartment.  The victim
- and a coworker were positioned on a beam
- removing concrete from steel shaft sets.
- One end of the beam broke loose and both
- men fell.  They were wearing fall protection
- but the victim’s lanyard was not secured and
- he fell approximately 1,000 feet to the shaft
- bottom.

## Slide 3

## Causal Factors

- Management policies and controls were inadequate and failed to ensure that persons could safely work at elevated positions where there was a danger of falling. Management failed to conduct an assessment of the risk when performing these tasks and had not identified procedures to ensure the work could be completed safely.
- Management policies and work procedures failed to ensure that fall protection was properly used by persons working where there was a danger of  falling.

## Best Practices

**Ensure workers are trained and understand that safety lanyards are not permitted to be unfastened while working at elevated locations. **
**Provide self retracting lanyard mechanisms when workers are required to reposition themselves to perform tasks. **
**Ensure safety lanyards are securely fastened at all times when workers are positioned at elevated locations****. **

## Substance Abuse Prevention in New Mexico

**Alcohol, tobacco and other drug prevention** is an active process that promotes the personal, physical and social well-being of individuals and families and enhances healthy communities.

**NEW MEXICO HAS PROVEN RESULTS**** **
- Our prevention system is federally recognized by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) as one of the top prevention leaders in the nation and was one of only 5 states that was able to measures positive outcomes including:

**SAFER COMMUNITIES**
- By implementing **evidence-based **alcohol, tobacco, and other drug abuse prevention, New Mexico will also prevent suicide, teen pregnancy, violence, and school drop out.

**COST EFFECTIVE**
- For every dollar spent on drug abuse prevention, $4-$5 will be saved in future costs for drug abuse treatment.
- *National Institute on Drug Abuse

- Reductions in 30 day use by adolescents
- Reducing substance use
- Delaying the first use of alcohol and drugs
-  Improving parenting skills

- New Mexicans can not or will not treat or incarcerate our way out of the alcohol, tobacco and other illegal drug problems we have.  Our only hope of changing this cycle is by evidence-based SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION.
- Here is why you should invest in substance abuse prevention......

**EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACHES**
- NM prevention uses multiple strategies including, environmental strategies, which have been proven to strengthen communities and decrease drug use by sound scientific research.

## Nitrogen Inerting Requirements – A Lit. Review

- International Aircraft Systems Fire Protection Working Group
- Atlantic City, NJ
- October 30 - 31, 2002

- Steve Summer
- Project Engineer
- Federal Aviation Administration
- Fire Safety Branch, AAR-422

## Background

- Recent tests at the Tech Center produced inerting requirement data as a function of altitude.
- This data contradicts the typical requirement of 9% O2 used by the military, but a literature search shows that it does not contradict any previous data on the subject.

## Slide 3

## Background

- Values lower than 11 – 12% have arisen due to two things:
- A difference in ignition criteria
- Pressure rise should be used as criteria, as overpressurization is what will cause catastrophic failure.
- Safety factors added on to experimental values
- Data has been taken at stoichiometric levels with a large ignition source (worst-case scenario), so a certain amount of SF is built into the data.

## Ref. Kuchta (1986)

***Ref. Kuchta (1986)***

## Previous Jet Fuel Data

- Sam Zinn (1971) – Examined data as far back as 1946 from Boeing, Bureau of Mines, U of Cal., WADC, Convair, and Wright Pat
- All found levels of between 11 – 12% O2 were sufficient to suppress ignition except for one.

## Previous Jet Fuel Data

- Stewart & Starkman (1955) determined a level of 9.8%
- Criteria for ignition was any visual flame front.
- It is noted in their report that at times, flame occurred with little to no pressure rise.
- Their data does however verify the trend of decreasing inerting requirements as altitude increases.

## Previous Jet Fuel Data

- Kuchta@Bureau of Mines (1970) suggested a SF of 20% be added on to the LOC value.
- It appears that this is where the current military standard of 9% has come from.
- This added SF might not be needed as the tests were performed under worst-case conditions (i.e. stoich. mixture, large ignition source)

## Conclusions

- A literature search of previous experimental data shows excellent agreement with the current dataset that was obtained.
- All reported levels that were lower than     11 – 12% O2 were due either to a disparity in ignition criteria or excessive safety factors added onto the experimental data.

## ENFORCEMENT—STATUTORY PROVISIONS

- Price Anderson indemnified contractors subject to civil penalties for rule violations
- Maximum civil penalty $70K per violation per day
- Either contractual or civil penalty but not both
- No exemption for certain not-for-profits as currently exists in nuclear enforcement
- Penalties assessed in a given year cannot exceed total fees paid by DOE

## ENFORCEMENT—REGULATORY PROVISIONS

- Philosophy—Process should closely track nuclear enforcement process (10 CFR 820), with which contractor community is familiar
- Process virtually identical to nuclear except with respect to administrative appeals
- In nuclear process, adjudication before an administrative law judge
- In OSH process, Office of Hearings and Appeals reviews the Final Notice of Violation

## APPENDIX B—ENFORCEMENT POLICY	

- Purpose—To use policy as a tool to promote proactive behavior to improve WS&H performance
- As with nuclear, provides substantial incentives to contractor organizations that self-identify, report and correct WS&H noncompliances

## CATEGORIES OF VIOLATIONS

- Definitions of violation categories closely track OSHA categories—most contractor and subcontractor organizations familiar with these
- Three severity levels, with associated potential civil penalties of 100%, 50% and 10% of the statutory maximum, as with nuclear enforcement

## ENFORCEMENT SEVERITY LEVELS

- Severity Level I (Serious)
- Violations involving the potential for death or serious bodily harm
- Up to $70,000
- Severity Level II (Other than Serious)
- Violations for which the most serious injury or illness that would potentially result from a hazardous condition cannot reasonably be predicted  to cause death or serious bodily harm but does have a direct relationship to worker safety or health
- Up to $35,000

## ENFORCEMENT SEVERITY LEVELS (cont.)

- Severity Level III (*De Minimus)*
- These minor violations will be tracked to assure corrective actions are taken to prevent recurrence and determine whether there are broader issues
- If a number of related minor noncompliances have occurred in the same time frame or recurred despite several attempts at corrective action, may be considered in the aggregate as a more serious violation
- Up to $7,000
- Isolated minor violations will not be subject of Notices of Violation

## ENFORCEMENT FOR NNSA CONTRACTORS

- Regulations essentially codify the practice that is the subject of an MOU between EH and NNSA for nuclear safety enforcement
- For NNSA sites, the NNSA Administrator would sign and issue actions that direct NNSA contractors (e.g. NOV’s, subpoenas), after consideration of the recommendations of the OE Director

## CHALLENGES AHEAD

- Revisions to Noncompliance Tracking System needed to accommodate worker safety reporting
- Thresholds for reporting
- Size of workload indeterminate
- Legacy Issues

## Personal Data: Rick Antle

- Professor of Accounting & Associate Dean ,Yale School of Management
- Authored several academic publications on auditor independence, auditor incentives and the scope of services
- Co-authored the economic analysis for AICPA’s, *Serving the Public Interest: A New Conceptual Framework for Auditor Independence*
- Co-authored “Response to the Independence Standards Board’s Request for Information from the Five Largest Accounting Firms”

- July 26, 2000

## Terms of My Appearance Today

- I am here today as an informed and concerned citizen.
- I am** NOT** a representative of any body, nor am I being compensated for my appearance today.
- My remarks are confined to the issue of independence and the scope of services

- July 26, 2000

## Two Major Issues with Scope of Services

**Integrity of the U.S. financial reporting system**
- We want auditors to have good incentives.
**Value added by non-audit services**
- We want everyone in the economy to produce value-added goods and services.
- It is my understanding that the SEC is charged only with protecting the integrity of financial reporting, but I would hope efficiency is a concern as well.

- July 26, 2000

## Value Added by Non-audit Services

- Prima fascia case that accounting firms have added a lot of value to the economy by providing non-audit services.
- The firms make money offering these services, and we should presume the clients also receive benefits

- July 26, 2000

- from the Five Largest Accounting Firms," Antle & Gitenstein

- Source: “Analysis of Data Requested by the Independence Standards Board
- from the Five Largest Accounting Firms," Antle & Gitenstein

- July 26, 2000

## Economies of Scope: The Key Issue

- Economies of scope are the values of the synergies generated by bundling services
- There is no systematic evidence of their magnitude.
- Firms have been successful incubators:
- Firms have achieved high growth in their consulting businesses
- Arthur Andersen re-grew consulting after Andersen Consulting split

- July 26, 2000

## Integrity of Financial Reporting: Auditor Incentives

- Auditors’ incentives originate from many sources
- Reputation
- Competition & market pressures
- Regulation & professional discipline
- Civil litigation and criminal laws

- July 26, 2000

## Incentives are a Joint Product

- It is impossible to isolate one feature and call it independence
- Results:
- Problem of auditor’s overall incentives is too often forgotten in favor of  moralizing about “independence”
- “Concerns” are substituted for evidence.

- July 26, 2000

## Requests

- A thorough, systematic attempt to **estimate the magnitude** of the **economies of scope** should be undertaken before serious restrictions on the scope of services are imposed
- Whatever rules are adopted should **balance** the value of the economies of scope against the potential financial reporting costs

- July 26, 2000

**Began in 2004**
**Maximum age of 68 mo**

## Data

**7,366 records (2004 to present)**
**6,666 cows**
**393 herds**
**21,458 ancestors born in 1985 and later**
**6 unknown-parent groups including        4 birth years**

## Animal Model

**Fixed effects**
**Herd-appraisal date**
**Parity-lactation stage**
**3 parities (1, 2, ********3)**
**4 90-d stages, ********400 d, and unknown-calving group**
**Random effects**
**Animal**
**Permanent environment**
**Residual**

## Variance Component Estimates

**Heritability = 0.22**
**Repeatability = 0.42**
**Residual variance = 1.13**

## Solutions for lactation stage by parity

## Correlation of milking speedwith production traits

| Trait | Correlation | P |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Milk | 0.16 | 0.073 |
| Productive life | 0.56 | 0.0001 |
| SCS | 0.40 | 0.0001 |

## Investigation of SCS Correlation

**Identify 60 bulls with common sires**
**Calculate correlation of SCS with milking speed within sire of bull**
**Correlation = ********0.14, *****P***** = 0.276**
**A few bull sires in a small-population breed could have caused the correlation of ********0.40**

## Correlation of milking speed with type traits

| Trait | Correlation | P |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Final score | 0.19 | 0.034 |
| Stature | 0.27 | 0.003 |
| Strength | 0.31 | 0.001 |
| Dairy form | 0.22 | 0.016 |
| Rump width | 0.21 | 0.021 |
| Fore udder attachment | 0.22 | 0.016 |

## Graniteville, SC

- Hazardous Materials

## Chlorine Release:

- Tank car punctured
- About 60 tons of poisonous liquefied chlorine gas released
- Ninth of 42 freight cars

## Chlorine Gas:

- Poisonous by inhalation
- Liquefied gas
- Vaporizes rapidly
- Volumetric expansion: 450 to 1
- Heavier than air

## Slide 4

## Slide 5

## Punctured Tank Car:

- Manufactured in 1993
- tested to 500 psig
- 	(3⁄4 inch thick steel shell)
- Normalized steel
- Improved fracture toughness
- Lower ductile-to-brittle transition temperature
- One of the strongest tank cars in service

## Minot, North Dakota

- Canadian Pacific Railway
- January 18, 2002
- 5 tank cars catastrophically ruptured
- 147,000 gals anhydrous ammonia were instantaneously released
- 1 fatality and 11 serious injuries

## Minot Conclusion:

*  *The low fracture toughness of the non-normalized steels used for the tank shells of the five tank cars that catastrophically failed in this accident contributed to the cars’ complete fracture and separation.

## Minot Recommendations to FRA:

- Validate a predictive model that will quantify the dynamic forces acting on a tank car during an accident
- Develop and implement tank car design-specific fracture toughness standards for materials used to manufacture pressure tank cars

## Chlorine Gas Releases:

- 12 Fatalities
- Graniteville, South Carolina (9)
- Macdona, Texas (3)
- Large lethal clouds are generated within minutes
- Little time to alert citizens

## Reduction of Public Risk:

- Operational changes are needed to reduce the vulnerability of tank cars transporting poisonous by inhalation gases.

## Transportation Studies:

- The rear one-quarter of a train is the most desirable location for Haz Mat
- Reducing speed
- Reducing the length of trains
