## The Role of Senior Management

- Executive Meeting on Designing Your Environmental Management System: Federal Facility Workshop
- USEPA Regions 4 and 6; DOE SPR
- February 25, 2003
- Edwin Pinero; Deputy FEE
- Office of the Federal Environmental Executive

## The Role of Management

- The management system model is built on the premise that senior management is consistently participating or otherwise involved.
- There are key points where senior management has a defined role (e.g., Policy, management review)
- Ongoing support is critical

## Specific Expectations

- Be visible and positive about the message.
- Show your support through organizational policy, as well as “walk the talk” by your words and actions.
- Discuss the benefits of using the EMS tool; Most importantly, verbalize how it supports the mission.
- Be up front and honest about the effort needed for successful implementation.
- Provide for resources (financial, staff, external).

## Specific Expectations (cont.)

- Provide moral support, encourage your team, and create a leadership environment that ensures success. The staff should feel that you are in it with them and committed to success.
- Encourage dialogue among the various offices, units and/or facilities.  Try to break down the silos!
- Share performance results with the workforce.
- Communicate outside the agency to share experiences and to learn from others.

## Low-Frequency Phase Rotation

- The UKNF phase rotator evolved from the CERN design
-  E reduction occurs in a single RF bucket:
- The Rees design used 67.5MV of peak voltage at 31.4MHz  180±23MeV goal

## Problem with Two Signs 

- Negative muons are rotated backwards:
- 61/09% *longitudinal* efficiency for +/-

## Solution (idea) for Two Signs

**I.**  Mixed-sign drifted bunch from decay channel

**II.**  Separate signs with on-peak RF

**III.**  Drift further to get separation in time

**IV.**  Put bunches on opposite sides of two adjacent wave troughs, to get the reverse sign separation and remaining phase rotation simultaneously

## Output for 31.4MHz Dual-Sign!

## Further Optimisation

- Efficiency was 37/45% for plus/minus
- Less of each, but more in total
- Allowing variation of RF frequencies has produced efficiencies of 47/56%

- Getting more bunches; higher frequency; looking a bit more like the Neuffer scheme?

## Comments

- Note that while these efficiencies are comparable with Study 2a, the longitudinal phase space occupied is smaller
- Slightly smaller energy spread
- Many fewer bunches (but lower frequency)
- Bunch train well under 100ns long
- These schemes are longer and use more RF than the original (~130m vs. 42m)

## Comments

- Future work will be to match the output bunches with those accepted into the Rees cooling ring or similar
- These are preliminary results
- So apologies for lack of scales on graphs etc.

## The California Tobacco ProgramWhat has this to do with medical care improvement?

- _Program characteristics_
- Attempted to change “system” and culture of tobacco acquisition and use
- Multi-component
- Multi-level – policy, institutional change, services to individuals
- Local adaptation expected and encouraged
- Evaluation depended on ongoing surveillance data supplemented by measures targeted at specific intervention components

## The California Tobacco ProgramWhat has this to do with medical care improvement?

- Same general evaluation questions
- Does the QI intervention work?
- If so, what is the contribution of the individual components?
- If not, were there promising components whose effect was too limited to impact overall outcome?

## Testing a standardized, simple unchanging treatment over a relatively short time span is irrelevant for many medical care and public health interventions.

- Randomization is not the issue; it is often possible and desirable

- Standardization of an intervention across sites and over time precludes learning and improvement, and fails to account for site differences

- Evidence and theory often suggest that comprehensive system change is indicated

## Comprehensive system change is often necessary 

- “Systems are perfectly designed to get the results they achieve.”
- Service systems are by definition complex and adaptive – not simple like a pill or machine
- Improving outcomes often means changing multiple interacting components of systems – making tobacco less attractive to buy, more difficult/costly to use, and easier to quit

## Interventions are multi-level

- The most potent public health or QI interventions like the CTCP often act at multiple levels – at the level of individual people, at the organizational level, and at the policy or environmental level
- Sequential testing and factorial designs may not be feasible or possible
- But, understanding the contributions of changes at all levels is important

## Multi-level, multi-component system change is often optimal, but is it evaluable?

- Small theory of treatment (Lipsey)
- Posit how the various elements of the intervention impact which intermediate or outcome variables in which subpopulations at which time points
- E.g., leadership influences QI team effectiveness which influences depth of system change which impacts outcome
- E.g., QI facilitation increases involvement of non-physician staff in prevention; EMR with registry function leads to proactive visits to meet prevention guidelines; nurse-involved preventive visits improve guideline adherence rate.

## Lessons

- Maximize design within constraints
- Maximize learning from variation within the intervention
- Validate then use existing surveillance measures
- Use multiple measures of same phenemenon

## FDA’s Third Annual MDUFMA Stakeholder Meeting November 17, 2005

- “The User Fee Structure”
- Mark Leahey, Executive Director
- Medical Device Manufacturers Association (MDMA)

## User Fees before MDUFSA

- Volatile and unpredictable for the industry
- Fees increased between 55-60% in just two years
- PMA fee from $154,000 (FY03) to $239,237 (FY05)
- 510(k) fee from $2,187 (FY03) to $3,502 (FY05)
- Allowed FDA to collect more $ per submission if they saw a decline in fee generating submissions
- Increases were unsustainable for 99% of the industry
- Fee generating submissions dropped significantly after the user fee was created

## User Fees after MDUFSA

- Fees are much more predictable for the industry
- Fees increases capped at 8.5% annually (MDMA recommended inflation)
- Eliminated the workload and compensating adjustments (MDMA recommendation from 2002 & previous two stakeholder meetings)
- Provided greater fee relief for companies under $100million in annual revenues (MDMA recommendation from 2002)

## User Fees -What’s Ahead

- Evaluate the value of user fees
- Fees must be reasonable & rational
- Look at fees and performance together
- Need to ensure that fees do not increase at unsustainable rates
- Understanding that fees are meant to be additive to appropriations and not a substitute
- Determine FDA’s actual resource needs related to the premarket review program

## User Fees -What’s Ahead

- Looking forward to working with the FDA, the Hill and other stakeholders to ensure that patients have timely access to safe and effective medical technologies and that smaller companies continue to have the ability to innovate

## Impact of interface relaxation on the nanoscale corrugation in Pb/Si(111) islands

- Ames Laboratory-US DOE and Department of Physics and Astronomy,
- Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50011, USA

- We calculated the STM images of Pb film on Si(1 11) up to 7-layers. We found that the Pb film is not flat if the film is allowed to relax [1]. The positions of the bright spots in the simulated STM images correspond to the places where the Pb film are buckled-up, and do not change with the bias voltage. These results are qualitatively different from simulated STM images from a flat unrelaxed Pb film where the location of the bright spots change their locations with the STM bias voltage or with the film thickness. Experimentally observed  behavior of the STM apparent corrugation [2, 3] can be reproduced by our calculations. Our present study demonstrates that relaxation effect in addition to quantum size effect contribute to the electronic structures of this system.

## First, do no harm

- 2012

## General Guidelines

- Prior to the shutdown, the Booster was demonstrating ~all the proton capacity which it has promised through the start of high intensity NOvA operation in 2012.
- Our overriding goal will be to return to this level of performance *as quickly as possible*.
- Want tuning to have the same “look and feel” as before.
- Enhanced functionality of the new system (ramped HL correctors, distributed sextupoles) should not be used until we have demonstrated pre-shutdown performance without it
- i.e. we don’t want to use new features to compensate for tuning problems.

## Proposed initial operation

- Vertical Dipoles
- Ramped as before
- Preloaded with scaled versions of old ramps (??)
- Horizontal Dipoles
- Run DC, using offset or direct DAC write.
- Preloaded with scaled pre-shutdown values
- Quads
- Offset register loaded with scaled preshutdown DC values.
- Ramps: see next page
- Sextupoles
- Initially off
- Later: harmonically controlled DC levels

## Quad Ramp Operation

- Want an aggregate devices, like B:QLRMP and B:SLRMP, to set all quads in parallel, BUT
- Should not affect OFFSET register
- Want to tune those individually, as we do now
- Options for mixed ramps
- Separate device for new and old in addition to existing QLRMP and SLRMP
- Sounds complicated to operate
- Redo QLRMP and SLRMP to include new and old ramps, with proper scaling
- Best initial option
- How hard?

## To do list

- Database entries – Triplett
- Initial translation of old settings - Prebys
- Parameter pages/mults (B2,3,6,11,12,etc) - ??
- Ramp Applications (B14,15,16) – Waller (?)
- Harmonic Corrector (B71) – Prebys (?)
- Closed Orbit (B87)
- Initial porting – Prebys
- Upgrades for new ramps – Marsh
- Ramped 3-bumps (B82) – Prebys
- Aperture Scan (B75) - ??
- What else?

## IL 3He Relaxation

- Jacob Yoder
- UIUC
- Feb. 15 2007

## Outline

- Status as of Oct. 2006 meeting
- Progress
- To Do

## As of October 2006

- The “final” cryogenic test cell was made
- The magnet was in place
- RT NMR test results in overall T1< 1 min, small polarization in “cold” cell
- Background gradients most likely problem
- Large gradients induced by testing with magnet

## Background Field

- Several magnetic parts were removed, but...
- Many things could not be removed easily
- Converted transformer into degaussing magnet and passed over all parts of cryostat *in situ*

**Notes:**
Add pic of degaussing coil

## Results of Degaussing

- 1 K pot / 3He condenser

- Bellows weld joints

- Room temp T1 ~ 2 min after degaussing

## Gas System Built

- 4He supply

- 3He supply

- Pump out

- Cold trap

- Cell

- 4He storage

- 3He storage

**Notes:**
Still need to make this drawing

## State of Manifold

- Appears to be leak tight, but contaminated
- Able to achieve MEOP, but polarization roughly 1⁄4 of previous system
- Will be baking components under vacuum

## Future Work

- Simplify and clean manifold/cell
- Cryo test with pyrex cell at ~ 0.3 K
- Begin materials testing

## Future Cryo Cell

- 20 cm3 cell, 50 cm2 surface area
- EDM cell will be 4000 cm3, with 2000 cm2 surface area
- S/V for test cell will be 2.5 cm-1, S/V for dTPB EDM cell will be 0.5 cm-1

- Test Material

## Comparison of test cell and EDM cell

- 1/T1 ~ S/V
- 10,000 s T1 in EDM cell equivalent to 2000 s T1 in test cell
- T1 from gradient proportional to diffusion constant D ~ T1/2, so 100 s T1 at room temp implies 3000 s T1 at 0.3 K
- Gradient induced T1 can be improved by increasing amount of 3He in test cell or adding correction coils

## Getting the “right” message to the customer

- Action Items!!!

## Joint Hurricane Testbed

- 	Results of social science research needs to be an integral part of the hurricane forecast and warning program.
- 	The tropical cyclone community needs to seek opportunities to identify social science research priorities, with the Joint Hurricane Test bed being a possible venue to attack these priorities (without compromising current projects).

## Advisory Format

- 	NOAA, in conjunction with its partners, should work with diverse user groups to develop and test format modifications.
- 	Test messages should build upon current formats/products/procedures and change as necessary to optimize desired outcomes. Two types of messages should be considered: _technical_ and _actionable_.

## Warning Categories and Terminology

- 	Empirical research should be encouraged and supported to develop and test modifications to current terminology used to define levels of hurricane threat (e.g., watch, warning,
- 	CAT 1-5, etc.)

## Timing of Hurricane Advisories

- Recommendation/Action
- NOAA/NHC should review its timing cycle for better coordination with end-users, especially for media news cycles.

## Review and Improve the Emergency Warning “System”

- Recommendation
- Provide an end-to-end review of the National hurricane warning system
- Action
- The OFCM will coordinate bringing together the appropriate federal agencies to begin the process of reviewing and improving the National hurricane warning “system.”
- Examples of elements to consider in end-to-end review include protocols, responsibilities, key organizations (including Community-based Centers of Influence), and communications.

## University of Minnesota-Twin Cities MRSEC Timothy P. Lodge DMR-0212302 Transverse Shear Microscopy Reveals Microstructure in Ultrathin Pentacene Films  (IRG 2)

- Graduate student Kanan Puntambekar demonstrated that an unusual mode of conventional lateral force microscopy (LFM) can produce striking images of the microstructure in pentacene on SiO2, a common gate insulator for organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). It is known from grazing incidence X-ray diffraction performed by the IRG that the first few monolayers (MLs) of pentacene on SiO2 are polycrystalline, with a different structure than the bulk. However, previously it had not been possible to image the grain structure in the first ML directly. Full understanding of the microstructure of pentacene/SiO2 is required to understand electrical transport in pentacene OTFTs, as the current is carried in the first MLs nearest the SiO2 substrate.
- The figure shows topography and transverse shear (TS) images of a coalesced pentacene ML on SiO2, with small islands of a second overlying ML growing on top. The topography image shows a flat pentacene ML with no apparent contrast. The TS images, however, show marked contrast reflecting faceted pentacene grains. Puntambekar showed that the TS contrast reflects grain orientation. Scanning along some crystallographic directions, eg., [110], produces high cantilever twist, while other directions produce very low twist. Consequently, she was able to assign crystallographic directions to individual grains. These images can be analyzed to determine the GB density and the fraction of high angle GBs. Correlation with electrical transport is underway.

**Figure.** Topography (A) and transverse shear images (B and C) of a vapor deposited pentacene ML on SiO2. (D) defines the scan direction vector **S** which is parallel to the long axis of the cantilever. (E) depicts the herringbone molecular packing in the pentacene ML. TS contrast is maximized for a scan vector **S** aligned along the diagonal <110> directions and is minimized for **S** aligned along the a or b directions. The plot in (F) demonstrates the variation of the transverse shear contrast with sample rotation angle (i.e., grain orientation) for the four grains shown in the inset. The ~180o periodicity of the contrast reflects the symmetry of the pentacene unit cell and confirms the sensitivity of TSM to grain orientation.

## Run II DAQ Support And Developmment(Software) Project Status Update for 9/05/2006

- Gerald Guglielmo
- (CD/CEPA/OAA)

## Project Deliverables Status for CDF

- CDF
- SEVB and Merlin front line support transitioned to experiment
- Consultation basis and guidance being given (~February 2006)
- CDFRDL
- Still in development and testing phase not support (*REX provides front line support?*)
- RDL running on Upgrade Production Hardware (completed 06/30/06)
- Full BW with RDL &  CSL 07/10/06 (completed 08/25/06)
- 80 MB/s aggregate for 8 nodes to Mass Storage (nominal) 08/25/06
- 30 MB/s single node to Mass Storage (nominal) 08/25/06
- 1.5 times above rates for recovery of backlogs
- CSL Upgrade readiness review 08/28/2006
- Integration testing mid-September (roughly on schedule)

## Project Deliverables Status for CDF (Cont.)

- CDFRDL full bandwidth tests on 08/28/2006 (plot from R. Snider talk)
- Peak sustained rate requirement achieved
- Single node rate requirement achieved (2 tape drives)

## Project Deliverables Status for D0

- D0
- Provide backup monitoring and issue intervention when necessary (REXX provides primary)
- Collector/Datalogger/ITC/Dlsam/Dlcat/DSM/Distributor
- Dlsam/Dlcat updates in CVS based on bugs from CDFRDL work
- Consultation on service name based fail over pending
*No longer a priority. D0 may move away from cluster model due to cluster service failover issues. *
- Unofficially advise on L3 resource leveling impact and constraints (*e.g. luminosity block related requirements*)
- If approved this will yield potentially significant request for effort

## Effort Profile RunII Support(Software)

- 2 employees in CEPA/OAA, additional effort 1 employee in REXX/DHG

## Risks From CDF

- CDF
- CDFRDL
- Has all the risks of supporting a new product in production
- Long backlog load on system under some conditions (investigating phase space)
- Violation of claimed uniqueness may require changes
- Small file sizes compared to design at high data would rates impose significant additional load
- Throttling may need to be enhanced
- Proliferation to other experiments or aspects of experiment may require refactoring and moving away from forked code model.

## Risks from D0

- D0
- Most of the technical experts have been lost to attrition over several years
- Remaining experts reside in different departments
- coordination, authority, responsibility
- New hardware or library dependencies could require significant effort
- New features or upgrades means potential new instabilities
- Older versions have been running for years
- Higher luminosity may provoke new issues
- Resource leveling in L3 potentially large impact (need to keep eyes open and ear to the rails)
- Problems now rare (great!)
- potential for loss of expertise (not so great)

- with Kolmogorov cascade ideas and is applicable to NS
- Vieillefosse (R,Q) plane densities of the 2nd and 3rd invariants are
- illuminating in detecting the role of vorticity and strain intermittency
-  The tetrad model is surprisingly reach in physics offering an insight
- both into geometry and dynamics, statistics and scaling of variety of
- the internal range fields
-  It is suggestive to study tetrad statistics (four-points Lagrangian
- measurements) experimentally
-  Large Eddy Simulations may be build on the basis of the model
-  Gap between the phenomenological modeling (particles) and
- the original microscopic problem (fields) is well contoured.
- All the theoretical reserves (1/d, instanton, operator product
- expansion) should be called to bridge it.

- SHEPO

- NAA EMS Program
- Safety, Health, Environmental Protection Office

## GOALS

- Abolish the use of mercury thermometers
- Address mercury hazard awareness
- Implement a successful mercury thermometer exchange program
- Promote the substitution of mercury filled thermometers with non-mercury thermometers.

## Program Elements

**Research the alternative thermometers for laboratory use**
**Cost/ Benefit analysis of each alternative**
**Meet with research leaders, veterinarian's, and technicians about mercury thermometer alternatives to determine their needs**
**Match the users needs with appropriate thermometers**
**Poster Presentation**
**Conduct Trials, evaluate the choices in each application**

**Notes:**
This also includes inventory, determining type of thermometers need to be replaced, lastly replace mercury therms and discard them.
