## Climate parameters

***Climate parameters***

***Sea surface energy balance***

***1981-1997 COADS Climatology***

***1981-1997 Anomalies Time Series***

***Conclusions***
- - ***17 years*** ***COADS cloud cover shows interannual variability more pronounced in coastal than oceanic regions, while dust presents strong annual variation.***
*** ***
***- When 6 months and lower periodicities are removed from clouds time series, the annual variation display good agreement with regional dust deposition. ***
*** ***
- - ***A positive correlation [0.6 - 0.8] was found between clouds and dust time series, suggesting that COADS cloud data include mineral dust aerosols in their observations.***
*** ***
***- Existing parameterizations for short and long wave radiation does not consider aerosol effects by the time of this investigation. Keeping in mind the inclusion of dust in COADS clouds, we use bulk parameterization to compute sea surface energy.***
*** ***
***- Since maximum in observed cloud cover, and dust concur with depressions in computed solar radiation and net heat flux we conjecture that mineral aerosols have a blocking effect on solar radiation affecting the sea surface heat flux in the Northwestern tropical Atlantic. ***

- Applications

- Optical Limiters

- Acquisition of spectroscopic and computational instruments for undergraduate education and research in nonlinear optical materials

**James Butler, Pacific University, DMR 0521496**

- The optical limiters in this investigation use nonlinear absorbers.  The percentage of light that these materials absorb increases with the intensity of the incident light.

- Bright Light In       		Dim Light Out

- Optical limiters are devices that can be used to control the brightness of the light that reaches a sensitive optical component

## Optical Limiting in Capillary Waveguides at Infrared Wavelengths

**James Butler, Pacific University, DMR 0521496**

## Molecular Modeling Results

**Undergraduate student, Joshua D. King, completed his senior thesis in chemistry titled, “Investigation of the electronic Spectroscopic Properties of Phthalocyanines and Related Dye Molecules Using Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory”. **

- SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS
- Results to Date
- A computational study of the effect of macrocycle size and symmetry was undertaken for a series of Magnesium Phthalo- and Naphthalo-cyanines
- Simulated electronic absorption spectra for ground singlet, S0, first excited singlet, S1, and first excited Triplet states were calculated and are shown to the right.
- Ground state MO density is observed to be a  orbital with electron density distributed equally on the thalocyanine plane. Excited singlet states are observed to concentrate MO density on a single axis of the molecule.
- When the two molecular axes are of the same length, the LUMO orbitals are degenerate. However, counter to expectations, for molecules with unequal length in the axes of the macrocycle plane, the lower energy virtual orbital concentrates MO density on the short axis. This is the origin of splitting in the ground state spectra.

- SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION
- Developed modeling protocol using the TD-DFT implementation in the ADF software package
- The ADF implementation of TD-DFT with Slater type orbitals was found to be superior in predicting electronic spectra of both ground and excited states.
- The software also runs Parallel on our Power Macintosh, greatly improving computation times.
- Software License supported by internal Faculty Development Grant from Pacific University to co-Pi Johnson

## Managing Biohazardous Waste

- Store waste in leak-resistant, rigid containers with tight fitting lid.
- Label containers with the word “Biohazard” or international biohazard symbol on lid and sides, so visible from all lateral directions.
- Keep lids on waste containers when not in use, and clean the lids - weekly for containers lined with red bags.
- Do not overfill waste containers or sharps containers.
- Dispose of sharps containers into a pickup container when about 2/3 full.
- Dispose of bagged waste into a pickup container (grey barrel) in a timely manner - weekly for red bags. Tie or tape all bags closed.
- Transport waste to pickup container using properly labeled, leak-resistant, rigid container with tight-fitting lid.

## Poster Title 66 pt

- 2005, Michigan Technological University

**Poster Title 66 pt**

**Section Titles in 66 pt Bold Arial**

- Straight Text that is meant to be read from across the Booth should be in 44 pt

- Other stuff that people would read while standing right next to the poster could be smaller. This should only be for details or footnotes. This is 18 pt.

- This layout has the Institutional Logos along the bottom of the poster.   This way there will be lots of room in the case of joint posters and url’s and such.

- If we go with this banner on the poster than everyone will replace the language logo with the appropriate choice.  The PGAS logo will replace the text above.  This means that there will only be three different banners on the posters.

**2. Motivation to search energy density functional**
**3. Energies and BE2’s of lowest 2****+**** states of spherical nuclei**
**4. Gamow-Teller strength**

## Quasiparticle random-phase approximation

- HFB calculation

- Introduce a creation operator of an excited state:

- creation operator of quasiparticle

- and

- QRPA equation

## If you define

- creation operator of single-particle

- excited states obtained by 2-particle transfer reaction are
- obtained.

- neutron-annihilation and proton-creation operator

- excited states obtained by charge-exchange reaction are
- obtained.

## Partnerships and Data Management

## Data Management

- Who is in charge?
- Who has it?
- Transferability
- Agency consultation with state/local
- Ocean to land data needs
- Transparency in data/proprietary issues
- Overlay wind resources with other data
- Interface w/ IOOS/GEOS-weather modeling

## Data Management (cont.)

- Posting data on web (clearinghouse)
- Point Person to represent state, Federal, local agencies, NGOs, academia

## Partnerships

- Create technical working groups to share data/information (include industry)
- Build on existing collaborative efforts
- States should identify individuals needed to advise on energy issues
- MMS web page or list serve to identify partners – and communicate ongoings
- Letters to states – requesting point of contacts for birds, CZM staff, etc.
- Provide resources necessary to have state representation

## Partnerships

- Site Selection
- Work through Atlantic Seabird Conservation Coop.
- Offshore Wind Working Group (DOI)

## Partnerships

- MMS guidance should be flexible
- However, need protocol document for minimum requirements through interim process
- Years of data collection (pre, during, post)
- Survey techniques (standardized)
- Monitoring/mitigation
- Consider FWS guidelines
- Need to have industry part of the process

## Partnerships

- Collect data in standardized way
- States will send letter to MMS
- From Atlantic Nongame Flyway Council
- From Coastal States Org – all spp of concern
- Coordinate with CZM offices
- Formalized mechanism for Coordination and Information dissemination
- Consider requiring observational data for interim policy site characterization – both above and below water surface.

## Partnerships

- Collaborate on studies (state, academics, industry, other Feds, etc.)
- Multiple partners and key stakeholders at the table

## Partnerships & Data “add-ons” based on further discussion

- FTP or extranet site- can this be put up asap, international and domestic information, warehouse so everyone does not need to do their own literature searches; users could also upload
- National Renewable Energy Lab could link to MMS Offshore Alternative Energy page (believe it is already done)
- Peer review of existing data and studies
- Listserve - MMS could send out updates as things develop; provide info on Alt E study priorities (this will also eventually be on the Alt E website) and study needs, announcements of RFPs

## BEA R&D Satellite Account

- Comments
- Iain M. Cockburn
- Boston University and NBER

## What to Like

- A big step forward in getting serious about the knowledge economy
- Identification of core “hard questions”

## Things to worry about (1)

- What is R&D?
- R vs. D?  Does it matter?
- Frascati/SNA/Corrado-Hulten-Sichel “domains”
- Formal/corporate vs. informal/SME
- Distinctions we might care about
- Codified vs. non-codified knowledge?
- Transactable? Replicable? Reusable?
- See “knowledge management” literature

## Things to worry about (2)

- Marketed/non-marketed “output”
- There is a Market for Knowledge, _surely informative: e.g._
- Licensing
- Out-sourced R&D, research services
- Partnerships, consortia
- Technical books
- Education & training
- But horrendously poor data on most of this

## Things to worry about (3)

- Rates of return
- Returns to govt-funded/basic research mostly spillovers: i.e. 50%+
- “Bond rate plus premium” seems very low
- To what extent is data reported on surveys like (NSFs) significantly shaped by tax reporting rules, GAAP etc.?

## What is needed?

- Teacher preparation and professional education
- Targets content in benchmarks and standards
- Incorporates elements of good instruction
- In context of curriculum materials
- Coherent curriculum K-12 (Good Curriculum Materials)
- Targets benchmarks and standards
- Incorporates elements of good instruction
- Tells a story K-12
- Solid published research on student learning of specific ideas

**Archived Information**

## Things You Want to Hear

- Informal education can address topics that are great motivators like space or forensic science--teachers and kids love this stuff
- Informal education can target specific audiences like young science enthusiasts and provide opportunities for learning beyond school
- Informal education can be a resource for schools to achieve their NCLB mission

## Things You Don’t Want to Hear

- Most current science teaching K-14 is ineffective
- Most students are learning very little science K-14
- TIMSS, NAEP, ask a college professor
- Learning and teaching science is hard
- Science does not have a mechanical component like reading and mathematics
- Most curriculum materials don’t have potential for helping teachers teach or students learn
- Almost no materials produced by the major publishers or the informal education community have been researched
- There isn’t room in the school curriculum for most of the stuff that informal education organizations would like to push

## How much time is available  for learning science in school?

- Space Science example:
- ~ 50 hours per year for all science K-5
- ~100 hours per year for all science 6-12
- 1000 hours total K-12, Maybe 300 for “Earth Science”
- Maybe 150 hours total K-12 for Astronomy and Space Science
- ~12 hours per year!
- Our expectations for what most students can learn about astronomy and space science K-12 are probably way too high
- What would NASA like to do? Is it realistic?

## What can informal education do to bridge to schools?

- Approach education as you do science
- Read the science education and learning literature
- Study the benchmarks and standards
- Learn from teachers—spend time in classrooms
- Do experiments--set learning goals, gather data, publish the results
- Focus on your strengths and niches

## MNM Fatal 2007-06

- Powered Haulage Accident
- April 3, 2007 (Missouri)
- Lead – Zinc Operation
- Haul Truck Driver
- 40 years old
- 1 1⁄2 years experience

## Overview

- The victim was fatally injured when the haul
- truck he was operating left the road and
- overturned.  He was not wearing a seat belt
- at the time of the accident.

## Slide 3

## Root Causes

- Work policies and procedures were inadequate and failed to ensure that all braking systems on the haul truck were maintained in a functional condition.
- Work policies and procedures were inadequate and failed to ensure that a haul truck was operated on grades compatible with the truck’s specifications.  The operator’s manual, indicating appropriate grades for various payloads, was not available on the truck.
- Work policies and procedures were inadequate and failed to ensure that berms or guardrails were provided where a drop-off existed of sufficient grade or depth to cause a vehicle to overturn.
- The driver of the haul truck failed to wear his seat belt while operating the truck.

## Best Practices

**Establish traffic rules requiring mobile equipment to be operated in the appropriate gear at speeds and payloads consistent with grades, conditions of the roadway, and the experience level of the drivers. **
**Ensure adequate pre-operational checks are conducted and the retarding and braking systems are properly maintained and will stop and hold the mobile equipment. **
**Task training for equipment operators should include a thorough review of the manufacturer's Operator's Manual and all warnings should be adhered to. **
**Monitor regularly, to ensure equipment operators utilize seat belts at all times. **
**Ensure that adequate berms of mid-axle height are provided for roadways where a drop off exists. **

## CONCLUSIONS (contd)

CFS improves the most from extensive hindcasts (21 years noticeably better than 8) and has the most skill. Other models have far less skill with all years included.

Cross validation (CV) is problematic (leave 3 years out when doing 8 year based SEC?)
