## Scale Your Enthusiasm

*Nanotechnology*: Atomic or molecular units, with well known subatomic structure in isolation, offer the ultimate building blocks for a bottom-up manufacturing synthesis with applications in many  industries.
-  - Can materials chemistry provide us with a means to produce technologically useful monolayers and thin films?
- O’Brien works with collaborators at Columbia and IBM (with additional support from Columbia MRSEC, DMR-0213574) on self assembly of binary nanoparticle superlattices. These are highly uniform nanoparticles of a particular functional material that can be combined with nanoparticles of a second complimentary material. For example, a magnetic oxide nanoparticle can be assembled with a semiconductor to form a unique magnetic-semiconductor “metamaterial” with intrinsic order at the nanoscale.

## Show me the nanocrystals!

**Show me the nanocrystals!**
**Stephen O’Brien (PI), Columbia University DMR 0348938**

- Nanocrystal synthesis is an interdisciplinary activity, working best at the interface between materials science and chemistry. We throw in a good dose of physics as a motivator to study how materials properties and structure changes fundamentally as a function of size. Graduate and undergraduate students work together, with some extra help from an experienced post-doc. The training is exemplary for producing materials chemists with a sound knowledge of synthesis, characterization and structure-property relationships. Undergraduates gain immediate exposure to an exciting field of research that encourages them to sample a broad range of subjects in materials science.

## President Bush visits United Solar (February 20, 2006)

**“****A couple of things struck me.  One, solar technology is commercial, and particularly because they've figured out ways to make long rolls of this photovoltaic technology.  That's important to help us achieve a major goal, which is to become less dependent on foreign sources of oil”**
**“****I really am thankful that the folks of this company gave me a chance to come and visit about it”**
**“****I am very excited about what I've seen here.  I'm excited about the future, because we've got great inventors and great entrepreneurs here in our own country” **

## Expansion Plans

**United Solar is primarily a terrestrial supplier of thin film triple-junction a-Si/a-SiGe/a-SiGe flexible PV products on stainless steel**
**The development of space solar cells on polymer substrate has leveraged the terrestrial technology**

## Common Terms and Definitions Group

- Braking Action Reports

## 	Mission Statement: Develop common definitions for pilot braking reports of Good/Fair(Medium)/Poor/Nil.  Develop common guidelines for flight crew assessment of braking action conditions (how to take and report)

- Pirep to be made independent of runway length, aircraft type, crew experience
- Come up with a way to “un-nil” a runway
- Identify criteria that describes unsafe operations
- Standardize terminology with ICAO

## COMMON TERMS and DEFINITIONS GROUP

| Braking Action Term | Definition | Aircraft Reaction | Runway Surface Condition | ICAO Code | MU |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Good | More braking capability is available than is used in typical deceleration on a non-limiting runway (i.e., a runway with additional stopping distance available).  Directional control good. |  | Wet runway with a water depth of 1/8” or less 
Compacted snow with OAT below -15oC
3⁄4” or less of dry snow | 5 | 0.40 & above |
| Medium to Good |  |  |  | 4 | 0.36 – 0.39 |
| Medium | Noticeably degraded braking condition. Expect and plan for a longer stopping distance such as might be expected on a packed or compacted snow–covered runway.  Effective directional control. |  | Compacted and sanded snow
Compacted snow with an OAT above -15oC
Sanded ice | 3 | 0.30 – 0.35 |
| Medium to Poor |  |  |  | 2 | 0.29 – 0.26 |
| Poor | Very degraded braking condition (a potential for hydroplaning). Expect and plan for a significantly longer stopping distance such as might be expected on an ice-covered runway.  Directional control minimally effective. |  | Wet snow
Slush
Wet runway with a water depth more than 1/8” 
Heavy rain
Ice | 1 | 0.25 & below |
| Nil | Braking action is minimal to non-existent and/or directional control uncertain. |  | Wet Ice |  |  |

## Proposed Metrics for Pilot Observations

- Thrust Reverser Use

## JSC Lightning Safety Education

- Safety and Total Health Day
- October 2005

## Some Facts about Lightning

**Lightning is the most dangerous and frequently encountered weather hazard that most people experience each year.*****National Severe Storms Lab*****Lightning is the 2****ND**** leading cause of weather fatalities behind floods in the United States - more than hurricanes and tornadoes. ****A Texas A&M study found that Houston is the lightning capital of Texas.**

## Responsibilities

- _Weather Chapter 5.9 in JPR 1700.1_ describes employee and management responsibilities for lightning awareness and avoidance, and outlines processes and action plans for group events regarding weather safety.
- This policy was instituted within the past year.  Please review it.

**Remember:   You are responsible for your own safety!**** **

## Personal Safety

**In the absence of any other information, ****a good rule of thumb is the 30/30 Rule:**** **_**30 seconds**_** or less flash-to-bang -- seek safer shelter**** Wait **_**30 minutes**_** after last thunder before resuming outdoor activities**** If you can’t see the lightning flash -- take action when you hear thunder**

**Flash-to-bang:  Time from when you see lightning flash until you hear thunder**

## JSC Lightning Notifications

- _Lightning Advisory_:  SMG *forecasts* lightning to occur within 6 SM of JSC
- Gives weather-sensitive organizations who request this service time to prepare.
- Notification is via phone
- SMG’s goal is to provide 30 minute lead time.
- _Lightning Alert_ – Lightning is *observed *within 6 SM of JSC. Take Action Now!
- Alert is posted on internal JSC web page
- Emailed to EPRs
- Scrolling banner on NASA TV channel 3
- SMG Advisory and Alert are available during duty hours; 6:30AM to 6:00PM, typically.
- Organizations handle internal notification

## Where to Go During Alert

- There are no truly lightning safe locations, only ***safer*** locations
- If you are indoors at JSC:
- Stay indoors
- Stay away from windows
- If you are outdoors at JSC:
- Get indoors into a substantial building (pavilions ***are not ***safe locations)
- If you can’t get indoors, get into a vehicle with a metal roof

## Lightning Discussion Topics

- What are your organization’s weather vulnerabilities?
- Is lightning one of them?
- Do you need to receive the Lightning Advisory?
- If you have people working outside:
- What procedures do you have in place to monitor routinely the weather?
- What are your lightning notification procedures?
- Could your procedures be more effective?
- Do you know what to do when a Lightning Alert is issued?

## If you have any questions, please contact:Tim Oram (281-483-3257), or Rich Lafosse (281-483-1048)NWS Spaceflight Meteorology Group

## Optimizing Distributed Application Performance Using Logistical Networking

***Micah Beck******	******	******	******Jack Dongarra******James S. Plank****	**	****Rich Wolski***
- Computer Science Dept.
- University of Tennessee, Knoxville

## Logistical Networking

- The use of storage resources as part of the network’s communicative infrastructure.
- Examples:
- mail, news, FTP, HTTP
- file and database caches, replication
- remote buffer managment
- distributed shared state

## The “Logistical Computing & Internetworking” (LoCI) Hypothesis

**If ** network resources (*distributed storage,* communication and computation) can be *predictably allocated and flexibly coscheduled*,
**Then **advanced applications can be implemented with higher performance and/or lower overall use of communication, computational, and storage resources.

## Management of State in the Network: Motivation

- The design of distributed systems for performance and modularity requires management of *state*
- The TCP/IP protocols implement data transmission in a *stateless* network.
- State management functions are currently pushed up to the application layer using application-specific protocols.

## The Internet Backplane Protocol

- The network is a “commons” used by a community to enable communication.
- Data transmission is currently the only resource held in common.
- IBP adds storage to the commons.
- Substantial storage resources are owned by the network and allocated to endpoints.

## IBP Client API: Allocation

**IBP_allocate**(char *host, int size, IBP_attributes attr)
- Open allocation is key to networking
- Attributes key to avoiding denial-of-use
- time limitation
- volatile (server can revoke)
- Circular, FIFO

## Dimensions in Communication

- The Internet allows spatial flexibility through transmission and routing
- no temporal flexibility: as quick as possible
- Storage allows temporal flexibility through storage for retrieval at later time(s)
- no spatial flexibility: the bits stay put
- IBP allows flexibility in both dimensions

## Dimensions in Communication

- Networking (spatial)

- Storage (temporal)

- Logistical Networking

## Example: NetSolve State Management

- The Problem: NetSolve calls are functional
- Excessive data transfers

- For example:

- A = F(A, B);
- A = F(A, B);

- Client

- A,B

## Tevatron VME BLM System Transition

- Dean Still
- June 11, 2007

## Things to Discuss

- Assessment of A1 VME BLM system
- Decide path to install.

## Assess VME BLM system

- Currently VME BLM installed at A1 with NO abort capability.  Running there for ~ 1 month.
- Fixed many software bugs at all levels. (FE, lib, app)
- Hardware noise issues.  Added software de-ripple.
- Abort configuration software ready but need to confirm works.   Current abort limits are loaded. No statistics on abort or abort types yet.

## Assess VME BLM system (2)

- Things that are left to test:
- Display data  ... do we need injection frame?
- Not sure about FLASH data if it works?
- Not sure about confidence in the types of data like FAST, SLOW, V SLOW ....  Not much experience.
- Still many issues about abort data to build confidence on.
- Real abort – hooking the abort capability up for this system.

## Compare on AbortA11 to LEXCHU

## Snapshot on Abort

## Snapshot on Abort w/ de-ripple

## Snapshot on abort w/ de-ripple

## Current Abort Configuration 

## Path to Install

- Long shutdown is best time to swap all/some  houses  to new VME system.
- Questions:
- Can we gain enough confidence in the system now to shutdown to do this.
- Do we want to startup on new BLM system.
- Do we plan to use abort for last month at A1 ... other houses??

- -3 kV

- Reset

_**Gain**_
**10****5**
**500**

- Digital Output

- -2 kV

**Single MCP**

_**Total Gain/Ion = 5x10**__**7**_

*Ammeter: converts charge deposited over a short accumulation interval to a digital word, which is the output. The accumulation register in the ammeter is cleared after each accumulation.*

## Large Dynamic Range Ion Spectrometer (LDRIS)

- Thin-window silicon photodiode

- _Detection of Individual Ions:_
-  Oscilloscope traces of detection of three individual detected ions
-  Custom electronics will greatly reduce noise

- _Gain of LDRIS as a function of input beam current:_
-  Gain measured for both single particle mode (using oscilloscope) and sensitive ammeter.
-  Single MCP has unexpected nonlinear gain at high beam currents, allowing more headroom in nonlinear amplifier
-  MCP detector limited to about 10-12 A; LDRIS can measure at least 10-10 A, demonstrating an extension of dynamic range by a factor of at least 100.

-  The LDRIS detector substantially extends the dynamic range of incident ion flux, allowing larger geometric factors that provide unprecedented, statistically significant measurements of low ion fluxes.
- LDRIS uses a clocked ammeter circuit that is simpler in design and uses fewer resources than conventional CEM and MCP detectors.
- 2) Problems of pulse pileup and gain saturation due to high ion fluxes in CEM and MCP detectors is eliminated using the current design.
- 3) LDRIS has demonstrated (a) the ability to count individual ions and (b) a dynamic range approximately 100 times that of a conventional MCP detector.

- Gain adjusted to 300 mV for minimum ionizing

- Howard Matis

- June 17, 2005

## Location in Phenix

- Center of diode is 4” from beam center line - radial direction
- 12” along beam direction
- Much help from Phenix is setting  this up

- Howard Matis

- June 17, 2005

## Detector Works

- Top scope picture with no beam
- Bottom with beam
- Minimum ionizing near where expected

- Howard Matis

- June 17, 2005

## Data 

- Rate
- 2087 ZDC
- 5.972 x 1012 ions (blue)
- Need to correct for deadtime
- Try different thresholds
- Use saturation peak to normalize

- Howard Matis

- June 17, 2005

## Deadtime Analysis

- Notice small DC offsets per run
- Adjust for slightly varying beam rate
- Green curve threshold is just above noise
- Noise is very small component so can neglect

- Howard Matis

- June 17, 2005

## Normalized

- Front edge might  be dependent on threshold
- MIP scale asumes particle hits normal to detector

- Preliminary

- Howard Matis

- June 17, 2005

## To Do

- Higher gain run started yesterday - need someone at BNL to record data
- Would like to get tunneling through Phenix firewall working (Phenix needs it working too)
- Should we do this in STAR?
- Time is short to do this.

- Howard Matis
