## Data Visualization and AnalysisSummary

**Ian Anderson**

**October 15, 2003**

## The Vision – a sociological change

- SNS will provide an integrated environment where all the tools and capabilities can be brought together to solve the problem at hand for both expert and casual users
- SNS will take the lead and work with the community and other facilities to achieve this goal
- Taking neutron scattering to the broader scientific community
- Taking the facility to the User!
- Freely Available!! SNS will be a full user facility

- The total experience!

- Knowledge

## The SNS role

- With appropriate community involvement SNS will develop and provide the basic infrastructure
- Data Storage and access
- Basic data reduction
- Basic Visualization
- Electronic Notebook
- The overall architecture and (Intuitive) interface
- The inclusion of the more advanced treatment, analysis and simulation tools will require major input from the various user communities
- The two together create the “all encompassing” environment

## Implementation

- Requirements document:
- Drafted locally based on this workshop
- Checked by moderators
- Posted on the web for community comment
- Develop the plan for meeting the requirements
- funding
- Solicit detailed input from user groups for initial and advanced software:
- Inelastic
- Diffraction
- Engineering Solid Mechanics
- Reflectometry
- SANS
- Other groupings??

## Magnetism meets SuperconductivityZachary Fisk, University of California Irvine DMR-0503360 and DMR-0710492

- Magnetism is the foe of conventional superconductors, but in unconventional superconductors, such as high Tc cuprates and heavy Fermions in which the superconducting condensate takes a different form which often is nearly magnetic, the relationship between superconductivity and magnetism is still being worked out. In crystals of CeCoIn5 grown from molten In1-xCdx one finds that both unconventional superconductivity (sc) and magnetism (af) exist together, and our collaborative research with physicists from Los Alamos and Dresden (to appear in Physical Review B) seeks to understand this coexistence. The magnetic ordering signal of the nominal x=0.1 material indicated in the upper panel is shown in the lower panel, and it is seen that the signal grows in the ordered state below 3K only until superconductivity sets in at 1.4K. It appears that magnetism and superconductivity can coexist by dividing up the electrons available in this metallic compound between them.

## Magnetism meets SuperconductivityZachary Fisk, University of California Irvine DMR 0503360 and DMR 0710492

**Education:** Five graduate students have been involved in the work on CeCoIn5 related materials. Three of these students have received their PhD’s this year. Two are now working in industry and one is a post doctoral fellow at Los Alamos National laboratory. One undergraduate student has completed a directed research project on related intermetallic materials, and this Summer an Irvine high school junior has worked in our laboratory growing the Cd-doped crystals and analyzing their properties.

**Societal Impact:*** *CeCoIn5 was discovered in NSF-DMR funded research and has proven to be an ideal material for studying physics at the magnetic/superconducting boundary. Parallels have been demonstrated between the superconductivity of this material and high Tc cuprate superconductors, and the understanding of the physics and chemistry of these materials suggests way to explore for new transition metal materials with improved technological properties.

## Can users find what they are looking for?

- Librarians and health care providers
- 	were  generally successful
- General public reported being less successful
- Not yet clear why
- Incomplete database?
- Service sought has no Web site?

## Do users visit any of the NC Health Info resources?

## Are MedlinePlus and NC Health Info being used together?

- General public reported linking to NC Health Info from MedlinePlus
- 50% librarians and 30% health care providers rated custom linkages as useful (others don’t know, didn’t respond)
- Traffic moves between the 2 sites
- Goal: increase traffic to MedlinePlus

## Is site ADA compliant and accessible to low literacy users?

- Site compliant with section 508 and WCAG 1.0 Level guidelines

## 				Conclusions1.Atmospheric and soil N were elevated at the west end of the Park and some edge sites, low in center.2. Increased soil N promoted increased exotic grass 	biomass after two years of fertilization.3.There was not a significant decline in cover of native 	species after two years of fertilization4. Native forb richness increased or decreased with N 	depending on grass cover. 5. Other local factors also control vegetation.

- 	- share music files and photos,
- 	- games & gamble
- 	- bank, trade stocks, pay bills

## Attributes

- Speed, reliability, AO “important” to high-speed
- Reliability important for all
- Cost important to non-high-speed
- Indifference to sharing files

## IV.  Econometric model

- Conjoint analysis
- 	- 8 Internet choice questions: A & B
- 	- A & B differ by 6 attributes
- 	- Respondents give preferred choice
- 	- Adopt/switching question
- 	- Estimate utility function

## Utility function

- 	U* = 1ALWAYS ON + 2SPEED
- 		 + 3COST + 4INSTALLATION
- 		 + 5RELIABLE + 6SHARING FILES + 
- where:
- 		’s are marginal utilities; and
- 		WTPSPEED = 2/3

## V. Model results

- Marginal utilities < 0
- WTP
- 	- $14.18 for more reliable service
- 	-   $9.87 for speed
- 	-   $4.41 for sharing files
- 	-   $3.37 for “easy” installation
- 	-   $1.94 for always on

## Next wave of adopters

- 17% of HHs
- 	- $16.67, slow, not always on, less reliable,
- 	- broadband access
- Broadband 50% “more reliable”
- 	- WTP $32 to $42
- 	- annual revenues of $2b to $5b

## VI. Conclusions

- Broadband Internet
- 	-17.6% penetration
- 	- high-income, educated, metro
- 	-  $40
- Willingness-to-pay
- Future & policy?

## About Hypertension

- It is the medical term for high blood pressure.
- It increases the risk for heart disease and stroke.
- It can also cause other problems, like kidney disease and blindness.
- People who have diabetes or are overweight are at an increased risk for high blood pressure.

## Physical Fitness

- Physical inactivity is a major cause of heart disease.  It also contributes to hypertension and being overweight.
- Exercise for people ages 50+ has a great impact on health, and leads to an independent and active lifestyle.
- Seniors and people who have hypertension should exercise regularly.

## Sterile Drug Products

- Dr. Peter Cooney
- Associate Director for Microbiology
- Office of New Drug Chemistry
- Center for Drug Evaluation and Research

## Microbiological Risk

- Potential for Introduction of Microorganism
- Ability to Proliferate
- Time/Temperature of Storage

## Relatively Low-Risk

- Use of commercially available presterilized components
- Few and basic aseptic manipulations
- Closed Systems

## Relatively High-Risk

- Intermediate or Open Systems
- Complex, numerous, or lengthy aseptic manipulations
- Nonsterile drug substances or components used in preparation

- Sterility is built into a product through production processes and controls.
- Production processes and controls are unavoidably complex.
- Significant public health hazards exist with contaminated products.

## Evaluation FactorsSterile Products

- Potential demonstration of adverse effects on safety or effectiveness:
- Complexity of compounding
- Facilities and equipment
- Training
- Testing and quality assurance

## Complexity of Compounding

- Manipulations
- Processes
- Controls

## Facilities and Equipment

- Highly controlled environment
- Specialized procedures

## Training

- Highly personnel intense
- Uniform and strict performance standards

## Testing and Quality Assurance

- Accomplished when training, testing, facilities and equipment are properly used and monitored

## Evaluation FactorsSterile Products

- No reasonable demonstration of adverse effects on safety or effectiveness:
- Drug Delivery System
- Drug Formulation and Consistency
- Bioavailability

## Tentative Conclusion

- Sterile products are demonstrably difficult to compound properly if compounded under conditions other than described in USP Chapter <1206>

## Advice Requested

- Should sterile products not compounded in accordance with USP Chapter <1206> be on the list of drugs that are difficult to compound?
- Is USP Chapter <1206> an appropriate standard?
- Should compliance with USP Chapter<1206> be required for compounding relatively low-risk sterile products from sterile components?
