## Welcome to the NAQC and to DisneyWorld

- There are many, many similarities between AIRNow and DisneyWorld
- Walt said:  “It's kind of fun to do the impossible.”
- In 1997, who would have dreamed it possible that more than 300 of us would be sitting in this room; that we’d have thousands of real-time air quality maps, forecasts, and EnviroFlash alerts; partnerships with TWC, USAToday, and major WSPs

## The similarities don’t end there...

- Walt said:  “You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.”
- That’s part of why we’re here today, to celebrate what WE forced into reality.
- AIRNow is YOUR program and without each of you, it just doesn’t work.

## Booster Performance

- Eric Prebys

## This Year: Total Proton Rate*

- *Thanks to Paul Derwent for “Run II-style” automated proton delivery plots

## Protons to NuMI

- NuMI Target Failure

- Almost caught up

## MiniBooNE

- Benefited from NuMI’s problems

## Near Term Plan for MiniBooNE Beam

- Plan A:
- Accuse NuMI of being "a launching pad for Communist infiltration and Muslim extremism” at Fermilab
- Ask Pat Robertson to ask the President to have them all killed.
- Plan B (If you don’t have the guts for Plan A):
- Spend less time in reviews
- Work to increase batch intensity to MiniBooNE, even if it costs intensity in the short term
- Encourage operations to stay closer to beam limits
- MiniBooNE MUCH more sensitive to margin now that NuMI is running
- Sent letter to operations to this effect
- Monitor beam power loss (B:BPL5MA), and consider raising it if it becomes consistently the limiting factor

## Shutdown Planning

- ORBUMP/400 MeV line Project
- Magnets nearly complete
- Girder out for bid (critical path)
- Installation plan in good shape
- Booster dump relocation
- Plans in good shape
- Waiting to let contracts until shutdown date set
- West Tower settlers are reluctant to leave and may have to be removed by force.
- Both projects still on track for Oct. 31st shutdown
- Final decision to be made ~9/3

## Longer Term Planning

- Just survived “Proton Plan” review
- Closeout this afternoon
- Expect it to go OK
- One way or another, expect to go head with shutdown projects
- Expect significant loss reduction
- Next major benefit for 8 GeV line is Booster corrector upgrade
- Scheduled for 2007 shutdown...
- ...if nothing goes wrong

## Peak Booster Intensities (increased from Plan V1)

- “Peak” values

- Low intensity slip stacking to NuMI

## Machine Loading

## “Design” PoT

- Peak values

- Averages

## Cumulative Totals

- Note: these projections do *not* take into account the collider turning off in 2009
- NuMI rates would go up at least 20%
- Possibly much higher with Stage II improvements

##     Goals of Presentation

- Identify what a Financial Status Report is
- Applicable regulations
- 2 component parts of a financial status report
- Types of financial status report
- Uses of financial status reports
- Completing the financial status report

## What is a Financial Status Report?

** ****It is a record of expenditure activities of the a Federal grant award **
**Provides expenditure activities for the Title I Basic Grant and the Title II Tech Prep Grant **

##      Applicable Regulations

**     ****Applicable Regulations**
**Provisions relating to the Financial Status reports can be found in the Education Department General Administration Regulations (EDGAR) at 34 CFR 80.23 and 34 CFR 80.41**

## 		EDGAR Regulations

**34 CFR 80.23(b) States have 90 days to liquidate all obligations after the end of the funding period(9/30) to coincide with the submission of the FSR. This time period can be extended by the Federal agency**
**34 CFR 80.41 Financial Reporting. This section lays out the general reporting requirements associated with the FSR such as forms to use, frequency of filing reports, and due dates.**

## 2 component parts of a FSR

**Part of the Consolidated Annual Report (CAR) **
**Instructions for completing the Financial Status Reports. **
**Section C of the CAR**
**Status of Funds Report**
**Expenditure reports**

##    Types of Expenditure Reports

**Interim Financial Status Report**
**Covers the first 12/15 months of the Perkins grant**
**Final Financial Status Report**
**Covers the entire 27 months of the Perkins grant**

## Uses of Financial Status Reports

**Interim Report**
**Used to determine how quickly states are obligating and liquidating grant funds**
**Used as a tool by Federal reviewer/auditor to identify possible compliance problems**

## Final Report

**Uses of Financial Status Reports**
**Final Report**
**Used to determine that states have met the compliance requirements of Perkins**
**Section 112 set-asides**
**Tech Prep administration “reasonable and necessary’ provisions contained in government wide cost principles**
**Report is not “final’ until all funds have             been obligated and then liquidated or have lapsed and been returned to the US Government**

- 21-25 June 2004

## The GOES Sounder

## The GOES Sounder

## SO2 from GOES

- Infrared channel near 7.3 μm SO2 absorption (channel 11)
- Reference channel (channel 9)
- Upper-level SO2 only (>3 km)
- Example – Montserrat

## SO2 Retrieval from Sounder Data

- _Absorption measurement._  GOES channel 11 brightness temperatures are colder than expected, because of the presence of **SO****2**.
- _Reference channel._  A second channel is used to eliminate background effects.  The **O****3** channel was used (channel 9).
- _Brightness temperature difference (__****__**BT**__)._  The ******BT** is related to transmittance and then to absorber amount through radiative transfer modelling.

## GOES-12

- SO2 retrieval using the ozone channel as reference

## Montserrat

- GOES

- AIRS

- TOMS

- HYSPLIT

**JULY 13, 2002**

## Conclusions

- It appears that the GOES sounder is capable of detecting Upper Troposphere Lower Stratosphere SO2.
- Unprecedented temporal resolution heralds new possibilities for monitoring SO2 and ash.
- Changes to the ABI will permit purposeful SO2 detection using the 7.3 μm channel.
- More work is required to validate the SO2 retrievals and to find the ‘optimum’ reference channels.

## Glued Fittings

- October 5, 2005

## Samples and Prep

- Three samples using Hysol 9396
- Seven samples using Hysol 9394
- Surface prep tubes
- Sandpaper(600) with alcohol
- Wash with alcohol
- Wash with acetone
- Surface prep fitting
- Brass wire brush with alcohol
- Wash with alcohol
- Wash with acetone
- Irradiate to about 25 MRad (exact value TBD)
- He leak -> P to 15.5 bar -> He leak -> irradiate -> P to 15.5 bar -> He leak

## Samples After Irradiation

- Note that epoxy turns blue-like color. No evidence of epoxy running.

## Before/After Comparison

- Small weight gain
- Note that did not try to control electrical contact between fittings and pipe. Resistance after. Did not measure before.
- Change in leak rate not significant. Small change from setup on different days.

## 9396 Pictures

## 9394 Pictures

## Cross Section 9396

- Tube in about
- Correct
- Longitudinal
- position

## Cross Section 9394

- 9394

- Tube not
- Fully
- Inserted

- Big void

- Glue film

## First Conclusion

- Promising but need more testing
- Thermal cycling about to start
- Will do pressure cycling also
- Mechanical strength tests to follow, need to define protocol
- Need more tests in C3F8 not irradiated and irradiated to understand penetration into epoxy. Bulk epoxy samples
- Assuming all is OK, better control of glue application and assembly. These samples were done in a hurry.

## white sagebrushArtemisia  ludoviciana  Nutt. Other common names; white sage, sagewort, Louisiana sagewort, Louisiana sage, Louisiana sagebrush, prairie sage, cudweed, cudweed sagebrush, cudweed sagewort, mugwort, western mugwort, wormwood, ghost plant and man sage.

**Medicinally:**
- As a tea or soup it was taken to control headaches, colds, sore throats, bronchitis, fever, smallpox, diarrhea, stomachaches, skin sores, tonsillitis, reduce phlegm and heartburn.  As a wash, it was used for sore eyes and open lesions or sores.  Crushed leaves were used as snuff for sinus attacks, nosebleeds and headaches.  A salve was made by mixing it with bison neck tallow and applied on open sores.  It was used as a head and scalp tonic to prevent graying hair.  Frontiersmen drank a tea to cure Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
**Culturally:**
- This is the most important ceremonial plant for some tribes.  Many believe it has a spiritual power, which drives away evil.  It was used ceremonially before hunting.  It is burned as  incense and smudged on the body and burned in homes to ward off evil spirits.  Bracelets and head wreaths made from it are used in the Sun Dance ceremony and  in sweat lodges.

## Clinical Trials in Acute Bacterial MeningitisFDA - IDSA - PhRMA Workshop

- Roger M. Echols, M.D.
- Clinical Development - Infectious Diseases
- Bristol-Myers Squibb
- November 20, 2002

## Clinical Trials for Meningitis:  Perspectives

- IDSA (clinician) - What works? Need options
- microbiologic eradication paramount
- FDA (regulator) - What is safe and effective?
- high degree of confidence in “non-inferiority”
- need to “validate” surrogate endpoint
- Pharma (developer) - What is feasible?
- risk adverse - only 3 attempts in 1990s

## Meningitis Clinical Trials

- 	Cefepime	Meropenem	Trovafloxacin
- 	1990-1996	1992-1996	1998-1999
- No. patients	286/345 (83%)	255/397 (64%)	192/311 (62%)
- eval/enrolled
- % U.S.	0%	39%	~8%
- # Months	67	56	15
- 	(5 countries)	(10 countries)	(11 countries)
- 	(6 sites)	(60 sites)	(50 sites)
- Clinical Response	75% vs. 78%	77% vs. 79% vs. 77%	79% vs. 81%
- 95% CI	(-12%, 8%)	(-12.2%, 9.9%)	(-14.2%, 8.3%)
- % *S. pneumo*	12%	18%	29%
- Micro erad.	93% vs. 94%	98% vs. 98%	94% vs. 96%
- @24-48 hr

## Ideal Study Designs

- Clinical endpoint
- Success = survival without major sequellae @ 6 months
- 90% power, delta 10%
- expected response = 80%
- evaluability = 75%
- sample size = 900 enrolled
- Microbiologic endpoint
- success = CSF sterile @ 24-48 hrs
- 90% power, delta 10%
- expected response = 95%
- evaluability = 75%
- sample size = 270 enrolled

## Alternative Design:  Non-comparative, observational study

- Pros
- very tight 95% CI for microbiologic endpoint
- greater experience with pathogens of interest
- less complex logistics
- Cons
- no comparative data
- all safety events suspect
- very dependent on patient/site selection

## Meningitis Clinical Trial Approaches

- 	Traditional 	Alternative	Non-comparative
- 	Approach	Endpoint	Approach
- Primary Endpoint	Clinical	Microbiologic	Microbiologic
- Projected Response Rate	80%	95%	95%
- Power/Delta	80%/10%	90%/10%	-
- Distance from Proportion
- to Limit (95% C.I.)	-	-	5%/4%/3%
- Evaluable Sample Size1	504	200	73/115/203
- Target Enrollment	720	286	105/165/290
- Subjects with *S. pneumo*2	50	20	15/23/41
- 1  Assuming 70% evaluability rate
- 2  Projected at 20% of evaluable subjects

## What’s Feasible

- Maximum enrollment ~300 subjects
- High confidence of non-inferiority only for microbiologic endpoint, e.g.  = 10%
- Clinical endpoints need to be objective and defined as major, e.g. death or neurologic
- Number of evaluable *S. pneumoniae* ~20

## BrO Measurements from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument

- Thomas P. Kurosu and Kelly Chance
- Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
- Cambridge, MA
- Aura Validation Workshop
*Lanham, MD 21 September 2005*

## The Retrieval Algorithm

- Based on non-linear least-squares, direct fitting
- Direct fitting:
- I = (I0 e-Absorbers + Ring + Pol1) * Pol2
- I0: solar spectrum for BrO, OClO
-             radiance spectrum for HCHO
- Performs solar and radiance wavelength calibration
- Proceeds by individually fitting all ground pixel radiances

- Includes
-  undersampling correction
-  on-line de-striping (L1 data)
-  post-processing de-striping (L2 data)

## BrO

- Bromine is an element in the destruction of stratospheric ozone
- Large abundance of BrO makes catalytic Br+O3 cycle 40-100 times more efficient than that of Chlorine
- Relatively uniform global distribution, with stratospheric minimum at the equator:      2-4×1013 mol/cm2
- Troposphere: Volcanoes,  Dead Sea, Shelf Ice

- Fitting window: 323 – 353 nm

- Currently the most advanced of OMI/SAO data products;
- validation release pending
- (QAStatPctMeasWarningUV2 QAStatPctGeolocationErrorUV2 QAStatPctPixWarningUV2)

## The Effect of Cloud Liquid Water on Surface Fluxes in the GFS

**Glenn.White@noaa.gov**

## Need to get physics right to keep improving data assimilation, forecasts

**- direct measure of physical interaction between atmosphere and ocean.**
**-good diagnostic of model’s parameterization of boundary layer, radiation and cloudiness**
**-essential for coupling atmosphere and ocean models**

***Need to get physics right to keep improving data assimilation, forecasts***

## Reanalyses (and current assimilation) have problems with surface radiative fluxes.

**—****cloudiness and moisture poorly known and modeled.**
**Reanalyses’  sensible and latent heat and wind stress are more realistic.**
**--Parameterizations dependent on near-surface fields, which NWP data assimilation can handle.**

## In May 2001, a prognostic parameterization of cloud liquid water replaced a diagnostic cloudiness parameterization based on relative humidity.  Refinements were introduced in August 2001.

**The changes increased forecast skill, reduced model biases and introduced a more realistic representation of cloudiness**.

## This compares radiation and clouds from analysis cycle before and after changes to cloudiness.

- Changes are large enough not to be caused by interannual variability.

## IP Services and 9-1-1“A Paradigm Shift”

- Nate Wilcox
- Vermont Enhanced 9-1-1

## IP Services/9-1-1 Barriers

- Nomadic users
- Location information
- TTY’s
- No standardized approach to IP communication enhancements
- Good recognition though
- QoS end to end for IP communications
- Codec’s, bandwidth and power.
- Current efforts and timelines

## Nomadic VoIP Users

- Civil location is only accepted for 9-1-1 if it is validated.
- Validation usually takes 24 hours.
- Portable IP TA’s get dial tone as soon as they are plugged in.
- Paradigm Shift - have broadband service providers validate location of end points.

## TTY’s

- Total character error rate for ToIP can have a negative impact on effective communications.
- Dropped packets can result in dropped emergency calls.
- IP communications drop packets to preserve bandwidth by design.
- Paradigm Shift -
- Ensure a compression-less codec is used for 9-1-1 (i.e. G.711).
- Promote technologies that improve throughput and use of alternate communication methods (SMS, 2 way paging etc.)

## No Standardized Approach

- Chat and instant message sessions are not supported in Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP’s)... officially
- Full streaming video is not supported.
- Paradigm Shift - create a platform that calls for a standardized approach to these technologies.
- Migrate this capability to emergency responders.
- Considerable work already done - BTW

## Quality of Service

- Low bandwidth and certain Codec’s can impact good communications with VoIP
- Background noises
- Good audio
- Loss of power.
- Paradigm Shift -
- Education
- Support and promote better technologies

## What’s Being Done?

- National Emergency Number Association
- Tech and Ops Committee’s working the issues
- Internet Engineering Task Force
- Several RFC’s have been written regarding emergency calling
- Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS)
- Poised to provide ANSI accreditation to the standards once written

## Timeline

- Standard for delivering calls to existing PSAP is completed - will be published next month.
- No location
- No nomadic/mobile support
- Standard(s) for an analogous solution TBC by end of year.
- Standard(s) for native end to end VoIP with support for all IP communications is “on going”.
- Several Technical Information Document’s (TID) already completed.
