## RF tuning of SSR1.Preliminary frequency target.

- Based on simulation results and data from Ivan, Giobatta and Timergali

## Room temperature bench measurement must take into account:

- The cavity dimensions change due to **cool-down**.
- The cavity dimensions change due to **helium** **pressure**.
- The change of **dielectric constant** after air is pumped out.
- The material removal due to **EP** or **BCP**.
- The cavity length change due to **weld shrinkage**.
- (For details see the slides from Ivan in the end of the presentation)

- Gennady Romanov

- 11/2/2006

## The estimations of frequency changes due to these factors are:

| Factor | Frequency shift, kHz | Remarks |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cool-down | + 460 
From 300K° to 4K° | Drift tube ends are free. It would be useful to  take into account the diffe- rential contraction of cavity support system. |
| Helium pressure | + (110÷225), 170 mean value
Pressure from 1 atm to 2 atm | Drift tube ends are constrained. It is closer to the real case. |
| Dielectric constant | + 90
From air to vacuum | Dielectric constant value for dry air at 25 C° has been used (ε=1.000536). A value for real temperature, air pressure and humidity in the lab will be used. |
| Material removal | + 90
For uniform removal of 200 μm of material | Depending on uniformity may vary from + 590 kHz to -500 kHz |
| Weld shrinkage | (200÷400)
For 0.3÷0.6 mm per joint | Sensitivity is -680 kHz/(mm per joint). For 0.3 mm/joint total length change is 0.6 mm.  |

## Room temperature frequency target. 

- 1. _Tuning before welding and polishing._
-     We have extra 10 mm per side of SSR body for tuning or 6.8 MHz above
-     nominal. We will cut the edges to get the desired room temperature frequency
-     This is one way tuning, 3-4 steps would be OK for the first time.
-     To have 325 MHz at nominal condition we must tune the cavity to
-          325 - 0.46 – 0.17 – 0.9 – 0.9 + (200÷400) = **324.39****÷324.59**** MHz**
- Assuming that** **it is easier to squeeze the cavity, I would choose **324.6** as a target.
- 2. _Tuning after welding and polishing_.
-     After welding and polishing we should have
-         325 - 0.46 – 0.17 – 0.9 = **324.28 MHz**
-     If we are too far from this frequency, we can additionally tune the cavity by
-     squeezing or pulling.
-      **All numbers will be corrected after this first cavity.**

## Why Holden?

- Well exposed, layered rock
- Erosional Expression includes many shallow slopes without stair-stepping
- One of the best (among a very rare form of occurrence) of both light and dark layers (beware MER/Endurance lesson)
- Erosional expression (undermining and collapse of several layers acting as cap-rocks) suggests the presence of multiple lithologies
- Site may be too rugged to land on, but nearby fans (probably alluvial?) provide easier access as a “Go-TO” landing site, with the advantage that the fans themselves may also be of considerable interest

## Areography

- Holden Crater is about 150 km in diameter
- The 20 km circle shown is centered at 26.66°S, 35.05°W (areograhic coordinates)
- Uzboi Vallis, a component of the Surinda, Runa, Uzboi Valles system between Nirgal and Ladon Valles, enters the crater from the SW

## Relief

- The floor of Holden is about 2 km below the mean MOLA elevation
- Regional relief ( ~ 1000’s m is < 100’s m
- The fans slope to the east at about 2-2.5°. The fan lobes are ~ 100 m thick
- Local transverse relief on the surface of the fans is ~ 10’s m for  of 100’s of m
- Local relief in the areas of layered rock outcrop is < 100 m, declivity of gentle layered slopes is a << 10°

## Stratigraphy and Geologic History

- Holden impact occurred after Eberswalde to the north; target material may have been layered rock (occasional layered outcrops on uplands surrounding Holden and at some distance away)
- Layered material emplaced within Holden; then lithified
- Subsequent fluvial history eroded and buried layered rock
- Fluvial erosion of western wall (ridges of layered rock perpendicular to wall, subsequently embayed and buried by fans
-  Uzboi Vallis breaches crater rim around this time and entrenches into layered rock at base of southwest wall
- The layered rock in SW Holden are NOT sediments from Uzboi

## Habitability (?)

- Pros
- Closed, sedimentary basin
- Region with substantial evidence for both surface- and ground-water
- Sediments and sedimentray rock protected by overburden

- Cons
- Ancient
- Cyclic environmental change
- Almost 30° from equator (fairly strong seasonal illumination and thermal conditions)

## Capability Platforms

**A decade into the program,**
**WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY?**

## From “On top of the world”

**ASCI Red - #1 TOP500**

## To the scrap heap.....a short inevitable journey.

## Breaking News!

- From CNET:

**Intel Tflop on a chip...... should reduce the landfill requirement?**

## Today

- As Dimitri said this morning, the platforms are not our end product, rather they are enablers.
- So what have the 100 TF platforms delivered (enabled), and what more can we expect?
- Are they all that we hoped when ASCI began?
- Are they more than we expected?
- Are we looking at problem solving differently because of them?
- And looking ahead, if computing is a core competency, what next?  What can we expect from BG/L, Red Storm and Purple before they join their predecessors on the scrap head?

## How long Until they are cast aside?

- BG/L #1

- Red Storm #2

- ASC(I) Predecessors

## Clinical Documentation in the Inpatient Setting

- Craig Joseph, MD, FAAP
- Epic

## Why can clin doc be difficult?

- Type and click vs. handwriting
- Templated-documentation can be a double-edged sword
- Good: It’s fast and can bring in lots of data
- Bad:  It’s fast and can bring in lots of data
- Should a paper progress note look just like a progress note in an EMR?

## How big of a problem is clin doc?

- Generally easier than CPOE
- Benefits are fairly obvious fairly quickly to all involved
- Time is one of the biggest hurdles to overcome
- Training time
- Time it takes to actually do the documentation

## Who’s doing clin doc well?

- Hospitals  that:
- Mandate use of the system
- Train clinicians just-in-time with real-world workflows
- Get lots of input before creating templates
- Believe optimization begins soon after go-live
- Use similar systems for both inpatient and ambulatory

## Efficient documentation and CPT

- Templates
- Structured way to collect standard data
- Can be used to drive a “CPT calculator”
- Clinicians complain they “lose the story”
- Free text
- Takes more time (to document and calculate)
- Costs more money (in time or transcription)

## What’s the purpose of a note?

- Record clinical findings and plan of care
- Communicate with other members of the clinical team
- Defensive tool against lawsuits?
- Justification for payment from insurers?

## How can we make notes work?

- Eliminate note bloat
- Don’t encourage physicians to re-record information available elsewhere in the EMR
- Document for clinicians, not coders
- Give clinicians different tools
- Templates		**** Drawing
- Point and click	 Dictation / voice recognition

## Some Water Extreme Calculations

- TK Hemmick for the Tent Crew

## Overview:

- HBD is now out of Glove Box.
- Small Shot of air seems to have gotten in.
- Leak check revealed leaks that were the sealed effectively.
- Starting point (after 1-2 hours of flow)
- Oxygen 230 ppm.
- Water 65 ppm.
- Present levels (2.75 l/min flow):
- Oxygen – 2 ppm.
- Water – 25-35 ppm (depending upon temp?)
- Consequences:
- No danger to cathode QE.
- Transparency loss significant.

## Water Removal Rate

- Treat the water as an ideal gas whose volume is 30/1,000,000 of the HBD Volume (i.e. 30 ppm water by volume).
- Vtot = 300 liters = 0.3 m3
- Vwater= 0.3 m3 * 0.000030 = 0.000009 m3
- PV=nRT; n=PV/RT
- n=100000*0.000009/(8.315*300) = 3.6 x 10-4
- m = 3.6 x 10-4 moles * 18 g/mole = 6.5 mg
- Presently we’re flowing ~3 liters/min which is ~1.5 hours/turn = ~16 turns/day
- 6.5 mg * 16 ~ 100 milligram/day.

## Water Limits

- Assume that the total amount of water was equal to the HBD volume filled with 50% humidity air.
- Assume air was right amount to put 500 ppm* Oxygen into vessel.
- Normal air O2=0.21
- Fraction = 0.002
- The second of these should be realistic.

- *230 ppm of oxygen was measured after ~1 turn of gas.

## Water Removal Rate For Glove Box(for extreme conditions)

- Volume of the glove box is 3.4 m3
- _http://www.google.com/search?hs=zdy&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%28%28102+cm+*+83+cm%29+%2B+%28+2+*+%2883+cm+*+9+cm+%2F2+%29%29%29+*+370+cm+in+meters+%5E+3&btnG=Search_
- 	- Vwater = 3.4 m3 * .000002 = .0068 L
- PV=nRT ; n=PV/RT
- 	- n=100000*0.0068/(8.315*300) = 2.7 x 10-4 moles
- 	- m = 2.7 x 10 -4 * 18 g/mole = 4.9 mg
- _http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=100000+Pa+*+3.4+m%5E3+*+2+%2F+1000000%2F+%288.315+Joules+%2F+%28mole+Kelvin%29%29+%2F+300+Kelvin&btnG=Search_
- The box flows 50 cfm or 600 turns/day
- 4.9 mg * 600 ~ 3.0 grams/day
- Another way:
- If 3 grams per day makes 2 ppm.
- Then 0.1 grams per day makes  0.06 ppm.

## Conclusions:

- The present out-gassing rate of the HBD would have produced a negligible change in the glove box readings (maybe all along?)
- The 9 mg of contamination is likely MUCH closer to the truth and would have been removed in 0.1 days. (NOT the trouble!!)
- It is likely that this out-gassing rate of the HBD is not due to the air leak. (O2 low)
- It is unknown how much time is required to reduce the water enough for operation.

## Possible Actions

- Pump the HBD?
- Could be possible.
- WOULD be stupid.
- Warm the HBD?
- Turn on all Electronics Cards
- Warms the detector to realistic running conditions.
- Allows double-check of noise levels.
- Warm the gas
- Stainless piping cannot be used to warm the gas.
- Need to add 50’ Cu tubing to supply side.
- Use temperature controller to warm pipe.
- Flow through bypass until pipe clean
- Flow through detector to accelerate water removal.
- Other Ideas?

**Precedent **
**Directly observed therapy in the field for tuberculosis (TB)**

## Background (cont.)

**Gonorrhea (GC) and Chlamydia (CT) cases identified through STD screening at youth and adult detention centers and STD clinic**
**Disease Intervention Specialists (DIS) assigned cases for follow-up**
**Of cases assigned, high proportion (43%) not treated**

## Background (cont.)

**Screening expanded in jails (1999)**
**Increase in GC and CT cases assigned**
**Field Delivered Therapy (FDT) protocol implemented to help reach the growing number of clients and improve treatment**

## Objectives

**Offer treatment to individuals with uncomplicated GC and CT infection who are unlikely, unable or unwilling to come to STD clinic**
**Evaluate FDT by measuring the number of individuals accepting medication in the field and the proportion of persons treated**

## Protocol Development

**Enable DIS to treat clients in the field**
** ****Acting under the medical license of the STD Controller**
**Design portable field pack for DIS to take into the field**

## Field Pack Contents

**Consent forms**
**Medication instructions**
**3x5 card **

## Impact of the MS-DRGs on the AHRQ QIs

- Sheryl Davies, MA
- Stanford University

## Use of the CMS DRGs in the AHRQ QIs

- Denominator specification
- PSIs/PDIs (e.g. Medical, Surgical DRGs)
- Obstetric DRGs
- IQIs (Craniotomy)
- Exclusions
- PSIs/PDIs
- cancer, cardiac, cardiac arrhythmia, infection, trauma
- Risk Adjustment
- PSIs/PDIs
- Stratification
- Select PDI

## Evolution of the DRGs

- Goal to better account for severity of patient
- Selected CMS DRGs are divided into with and without complications and comorbidities
- Recommendations made by MedPAC to incorporate patient severity into DRG
- Planned to adopt Consolidated Severity DRGs (CS DRGs)
- Contracted with RAND to investigate alternative severity adjusted DRGs, including CS DRGs, proprietary systems, MS-DRGs
- In FY 2008, ruled that it would adopt the Medicare Severity DRGs (MS-DRGs)

## What are the MS-DRGs

- The MS-DRGs account for difference in severity by dividing base DRGs into up to 3 severity groups
- Severity groups are defined using secondary diagnosis and procedure codes (no CC, CC, MCC)
- Retains current base DRGs by coalescing DRGs previously split by CC
- Empirically, each base DRG was determined to have:
- 1 severity group (combining no CC, CC and MCC)
- 2 severity groups (either no CC/CC and MCC or no CC and CC/MCC)
- 3 severity groups

## MS-DRG Reclassification

- Moving from 538 DRGs to 745 MS-DRGs
- Patients in any one CMS DRG may be split between multiple DRGs
- Nearly all DRGs now have multiple severity categories
- Pediatric DRGs removed and pediatric patients reclassified to adult DRGs
- Obstetric DRGs left as is

## Impact on the AHRQ QIs

| PSIs | Denominator: Medical and Surgical DRGs | New MS-DRGs translate. No impact.  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| PSIs | Denominator: Exclusions for cancer, trauma, infection, and immunosuppression | Current exclusions defined using both ICD-9 and DRG. DRG removed, 1% impact |
| PSIs/ IQIs | Definitions relying only on DRG (cardiac surgery, arrhythmia and abdominopelvic surg) | Cardiac surgery  redefined using ICD-9. Reduction in # excluded. |

## Impact on the AHRQ QIs

| IQIs | Denominator for Craniotomy  | New MS-DRGs translate. No impact.  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| PDIs | Adult DRGs exclusion | No longer applies. Age exclusion used exclusively.  |

## Impact on the AHRQ QIsSpecial cases

- Death in low mortality DRG
- Requires estimation of low-mortality DRGs based on applying MS-DRG logic to earlier data
- Stratification of PDIs Postop Sepsis and Postop Wound Dehiscence
- Conversion of stratification scheme to MS-DRGs and testing using earlier data
- Both issues will result in untested indicators until data using MS-DRGs becomes available

## Impact of MS-DRGs on Risk Adjustment

- No impact IQIs (APR-DRGs) or PSIs (demographics only)
- PSIs and PDIs: recalculated model based on the base DRGs (no severity stratification). Separate models for CMS-DRGs and MS-DRGs.
- Severity classification includes both complications and comorbidities, which would result in over-adjustment for PSIs if used

## Source of Cord Blood for                  U.S. Transplants

- In calendar year 2005, there were **759** units of cord blood shipped for transplantation in the U.S.
- 84% from U.S. cord blood banks
***16% were imported***
- In calendar year 2006, there were **891** units of cord blood shipped for transplantation in the U.S.
- 81% from U.S. cord blood banks
***19% were imported***
- Source: World Marrow Donor Association

**Notes:**
Science & data behind these projections, but not always clear what data & assumptions used

## Imports of Cord Blood are Growing 

- Based on the WMDA data, it is estimated that about 20% of the units of cord blood transplanted in the United States are *imported*.
- Based on both WMDA and NMDP records, *imports of cord blood are growing**.***  **

**Notes:**
Gap between supply and requirements

## Netcord Concerns 

- There are professionally recognized international standards developed by NetCord and FACT for collection, preservation, selection, testing and transport of cord blood.
- A rigorous system of onsite inspections and accreditation has been developed, and most of our banks are either accredited or in the process of seeking accreditation.

## Cord Blood Transplantation 

- The selection of cord blood units is the practice of medicine.
- U.S. patients are ethnically diverse:  the best cord blood unit is often in another country.
- Denying access to such units would primarily affect minority patients for whom cord blood is often the only option.

## Netcord Concerns 

- There is no reason to assume that the current inventory of cord blood is not safe or that it is not of high quality.
- Patients must have access to the existing inventory of cord blood, as well as to units stored in banks that are not licensed.

## Netcord Suggestions 

- Requirement of CLIA-certified laboratories for testing:
- Acknowledge comparable certifications from other countries.
- Re-testing prior to shipment in a CLIA-certified laboratory.
- Work with NetCord to assure access of their high quality cord blood units to U.S. patients.

## Netcord Concerns 

- The risk to be prevented with licensure is undefined.  The risk of denying access to the most appropriately matched units of cord blood is clearly defined.

## 2006 Conference Section 4(f)

- Lance Hanf, Senior Agency Counsel, HCC-WE, San Francisco
- 415-744-8272

## APA – the Door to Sue

- Final agency actions
- Arbitrary & capricious or unlawful
- Courts may not substitute their judgment for the agency’s.
- Deference to Agency

## Introduction

- New 4(f) Policy Paper
- Major Area of concern
- Three examples on picking alternatives

## 4(f) Flexibility

- Moving away from the black box.

## Example One 

- Must choose the alternative the does not use 4(f) if there is a prudent and feasible alternative

## Example Two 

- If there are no prudent and feasible alternatives, need to use one one with the least net use after minimizing harm.

## NewExample Three

- What happens when all the alternatives use 4(f), but there are other important non- 4(f) resources involved?

## Case Law

- Four Cases from four difference circuits that held that in determining what is prudent, a totality of factors can add up to making an alternative not prudent.

## The Cases

- Hickory Neighborhood Defense League v. Skinner, 910 F.2d 159 (4th Cir. 1990)

## Louisiana Env. Society v. Dole,707 F.2d 116 (5th 1983)

## Eagle Foundation v. Dole, 813 F.2d 798 (7th Cir. 1987)

## Committee to Preserve Boomer Lake Park v. Skinner, 4 F.3d 1543 (10th Cir. 1993)

## Must start with strong presumption against using 4(f) 

- Create record of why it is not prudent.
- Get other resource agencies to support.
- Make a conclusion based on that.

## Totality 

- Adding up the items that in and of themselves would not make it imprudent.

## Prudent Test

- Balancing factors
- Are there other factors that make the least net harm not prudent?

## FHWA Judgment  

- A prudent judgment by an  agency is one that takes into account everything important that matters.  A cumulation of small problems may add up to a  sufficient reason to use  4(f) lands

## 4(f) Problems

- Substantive statute (less deference)
- Not reviewing feasible and prudent w/ EA
- Not providing basis for eliminating alternatives (extraordinary factors)
- Not doing Statement
- Not doing all possible planning to mitigate harm

## Use your lawyers

- Difficult area.
- Work as a team.
- Use when you really need.

## Help is on the way!

- New statutory programs
- New policy paper
- New understanding

## Simulation-driven

- Fusion
- High performance computing
- Small number of people
- Annoyance
- Data issues
- Run simulation
- Move data
- GBs of data – time consuming
- Collaboration difficult
- Overhead of getting setup
- want
- Rather than emailing, want peer-to-peer communication
- Leave data at source
- Minimize data movement

## Simulation-driven

- GTL
- Hard to get scattered small groups collaborating
- BIRN
- Construction of models to facilitate simulations
- Automate utilities installation on sites
- Weather severe storm
- Import technology too hard on a small scale
- Combustion
- Few PIs
- No time/money to invest in infrastructure
- SNS
- Data is at site
- Users want to use codes/analysis at site
- Show others your results

## Common Issues

- Large time lag between development and deployment
- As scientist – too much to know
- Want
- Wizard – “make me a grid”
- Simple tools to add people
- Publication of metadata about services, resources,
- Capture metadata automatically or force user to enter
- Standard organization of metadata schemas,or discover the schemas
- Standards is a problem
- Too many formats – requires translators
- Create workflows
- Automate execution of “same pattern” workflows
- Integrate publication process in workflow
- Mentoring tools
- Examples of tools that work

## Common Issues

- Want
- For vis
- For vis need fast efficient data movement for local vis
- Vis dream: virtual total control
- Can remote vis for large datasets become a reality?
- Knowledge system to ask question outside of the domain
- Find out who else is working on “my problem”
- Machine recognition of synergies

## Common Issues

- Remote steering of instruments
- Need to capture compute resource to dynamically analyze
- Real time access to scalable computational resource, compare to models, feeding back for decision support
- Control “nobs” for speciments
- Similar in severe storm application
- Real time steering
- Dynamic steering on simulations
- Avoid “stopping” and resubmit”
- E.g. Molecular dynamic simulations
