## Council on Regulatory Environmental Modeling(CREM)

##          History of the CREM

**Establishment of the CREM responds to Science Advisory Board recommendations over the past ten years for enhanced Agency attention to regulatory environmental models**
**In 1994, an Agency Task Force on Environmental Regulatory Modeling (ATFERM) recommended training and technical support of models, development of model user acceptability criteria and Agency guidance for conducting external peer review, and establishment of a CREM**
**More recently, the Agency sponsored the Agency-wide Models-2000 Workshop in Athens, GA (1997) to renew support for the ATFERM recommendations and address new and emerging issues related to regulatory environmental modeling**
**Responding to recommendations from these EPA groups and the SAB, in June, 1999, the Science Policy Council (SPC) agreed to establish and oversee a CREM**
**An Ad Hoc SPC workgroup proceeded to draft a Framework document  setting forth principles and procedures for the CREM and in February, 2000, the Administrator signed the Framework formally establishing a models Council**

## Proposed Activities for FY’ 00/01 and Beyond

**Action Team  for Development of Models Clearinghouse—FY’00/01**

## What is the best plan?

- Peter Cramton(with Larry Ausubel and Paul Milgrom)
- November 2003

## Clock-Proxy Auction

- Clock phase for price discovery
- FCC states prices; bidders state quantities
- Prices ascend according to excess demand
- Stops when no excess demand on any product
- Final proxy round for adjustments
- Final fitting of demands with complements
- No demand reduction with large buyers

## Advantages of Clock-Proxy Auction

- Clock
- Take linear prices as far as they will go
- Simplicity and flexibility for bidders and FCC
- Expand substitution possibilities
- Minimize scope for collusion
- No exposure problem; no threshold problem
- Proxy
- Core outcome
- Efficiency
- Substantial seller revenues

## Concrete Example

- 90 MHz of 3G Spectrum
- 1710-1755, 2110-2155

## Current approach:FCC sets band plan

| Block | A | B | C | D | E |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| MHz | 20 | 20 | 10 | 10 | 30 |
| Licenses | 176 | 6 | 6 | 734 | 6 |

- All frequency paired

## Band plan fits best guess of what industry wants

| Block | A | B | C | D | E |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| MHz | 20 | 20 | 10 | 10 | 30 |
| Licenses | 176 | 6 | 6 | 734 | 6 |
| Winner | Cingular | AT&T | T-Mobile | Sprint | Verizon |

- Sources of competition eliminated
- Unpaired or other different approaches
- Size of blocks

## Clock-proxy approach addsflexibility and simplicity

- 36 blocks of 2.5 MHz in each of 734 markets
- Bidders indicate number of blocks (paired/unpaired):
- Nationwide (1)
- Regional economic area group (6)
- Economic area (176)
- Cellular market area (734)
- Specific bands determined at end of auction to maximize fit (contiguous spectrum across frequency and geography)
- Note: need price adjustment model

## Clock-Proxy Auction

- Simplicity (this can done!)
- Good starting point for two-sided auction

## Collaborative Research: Multi-Photon Phosphors Based on Vacuum Ultraviolet Excitation R. S. Meltzer, University of Georgia (DMR-0305400)

- Improvements of existing fluorescent lamps should include elimination of polluting mercury and an increase in the present 33% wall plug efficiency.  Lamps can be designed with a xenon discharge replacing mercury but this will require a new generation of phosphors that produce two quanta (photons) of light for each deep ultraviolet photon absorbed from the xenon discharge.  We are exploring the fundamental processes responsible for this quantum splitting.  The figure to the right demonstrates that the initial quantum splitting step that excites two ions, both of which emit a photon,  (population of the 6I  state of Gd3+ and 4F3/2  state of Nd3+) occurs in sub microseconds, proving that short-range superexchange interactions between the Gd3+-Nd3+ pair dominates. Studies in mixed crystals GdxY1-xLiF4:Nd3+ demonstrate the importance of energy migration among the Gd3+ ions and explain why all known quantum splitting phosphors which depend on cross relaxation energy transfer require 100% occupation of one of the ions of the pair (here Gd3+).

- Figure:  Time evolution of the excited state populations of Gd3+ and Nd3+ after pulsed excitation of the 4f25d state of Nd3+ at 157 nm

## Collaborative Research: Multi-Photon Phosphors Based on Vacuum Ultraviolet Excitation R. S. Meltzer, University of Georgia (DMR-0305400)

- 	Two Ph.D. students and two visiting scholars, Professor Hyo Jin Seo (Pukyong National University, Korea) and Dr. Sergey Feofilov, (Ioffe Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia), are currently involved with this project.  This research provides an opportunity for the students to gain expertise in phosphor development and to acquire the fundamental concepts in the optical properties of solids, especially those of rare earth doped insulators which form the basis for many phosphors. The training includes the gamut of techniques involved in vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectroscopy. Close cooperation in this project with scientists at Osram Sylvania allow students to understand the interfacing of research and development in an industrial setting.  Collaborating with us is Professor Keszler’s group at Oregon State University which designs and produces the phosphors used in this effort.  Students at the two Universities see first hand the synergy necessary to develop new materials.  Two students presented papers at the International Conference on Luminescence and the Conference on Dynamical Processes in Condensed Matter in China

- Mr. Zhou, a Ph.D. graduate student, and
- Dr. Feofilov, a visiting scientist, are shown  operating the VUV spectroscopy system.

## The surface energy balance

- <date/time>

- Gr = heat flux at the reference depth zr
- S = rate of change of heat storage in the soil above the reference depth

- G0 = heat flux at the soil surface

## Methods for measuring soil heat flux

- Plate method
- Most common by far
- Thermopile measures vertical temperature difference across a plate embedded in the soil
- Flux through the plate may not equal flux through the soil

## Slide 4

## Methods for measuring soil heat flux

- Plate method
- Most common by far
- Thermopile measures vertical temperature difference across a plate embedded in the soil
- Flux through the plate may not equal flux through the soil
- Gradient methods
- Rarely used
- Soil temperature gradient and thermal conductivity measured
- In situ thermal conductivity measurements are challenging

## Slide 6

## Methods for measuring soil heat flux

- Plate method
- Most common by far

- Flux through the plate may not equal flux through the soil
- Gradient methods
- Rarely used
- Soil temperature gradient and thermal conductivity measured
- In situ thermal conductivity measurements are challenging
- Self-calibrating plate method
- Relatively new
- Heater on top of plate permits in situ correction for heat flux divergence
- Large plate and unpublished theory

## Slide 8

## Slide 9

## Bare soil site – 2001

- Flux estimates from HFT1.1 plates ~25% smaller than from three-needle gradient method.

- Two independent gradient methods gave similar flux estimates.

## Corn site – 2002

- Flux estimates from HFT1.1 plates ~25% smaller than from three-needle gradient method.

- Two independent gradient methods gave similar flux estimates.

## Slide 12

## Soybean site – 2004

- Flux estimates from HFT1.1 plates ~25% smaller than from three-needle gradient method.

- Self-calibrating plates and three-needle gradient method gave similar flux estimates.

## Bare soil site – 2001

- Flux estimates by the HFT1.1 plates were better than those from the other three types we tested.

- Regression statistics for plate versus three needle gradient heat flux estimates.

| Plate | Slope | Intercept | r2 | Mean absolute difference |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  | W m-2 |  | W m-2 |
| HFT1.1 | 0.751 | 2.28 | 0.908 | 14.2 |
| CN3 | 0.640 | 1.82 | 0.913 | 17.4 |
| GHT-1C | 0.522 | 3.49 | 0.852 | 22.8 |
| 610 | 0.328 | 1.19 | 0.912 | 29.4 |

## Conclusions

-  Heat flux plates typically underestimate the magnitude of soil heat flux.
-  The best of the four types of plates we tested underestimated the flux by about 25%.
-  The three-needle gradient method and the self-calibrating plate method are promising alternatives.
-  Further development of these methods are needed for frozen soil conditions.

## CCDs for DECam

**CCDs for DECam**

- Baseline: SNAP CCDs from LBNL
- (E2V or others are not excluded)
-  higher QE at near-IR
-  nearly ready (submit pre-production)
-  potentially lower cost (<50%)
- Business model:
-  DALSA does ~90% processing
-  LBNL finishes backside processing
-  FNAL does packaging
- End product is a “module”:
-  CCD sensor
-  Al N board(s) for support/CRIC
-  On-plane electronics and cable
-  Other support/thermal to focal plane

## Near IR Response 

## Recent progress

- LBNL has received v.1 SNAP wafers
- Business model continues to look promising
- In December, concern was the last top metal step. Normally Al could not withstand a high temperature backside process. DALSA top metal processing with Ti N looks promising
- LBNL did acquire a plasma etcher for top side processing with Al
- CRIC prototype has read out a LBNL CCD
- LBNL desires an on-site furnace (~$400K)

**Motion and Segregation of Particles**
**in Dielectrophoretic Microfluidics**

##  The purpose of this project is to test a  dielectric filter that will be able to segregate particles in “dirty” lube oil subject to high gradient strong electric fields 

**Radial Dielectrophoretic Filter**
- Made using Pro/Engineer
- The experimental filter made is based on this design

## Progress

-  **Requirements for experimental filter: **
- Must catch particles <10 microns
- Built with a self cleaning feature
- Be able to filter out 70 gallons per minute

- 4 filters built so far
- 3rd short circuited but gave results
- 4th still intact
- 5th is currently being built

**Progress**

## Results

- Short circuited at 360 VAC
- Flow rate of 0.3 liters per minute

**Results from 4****th**** Filter**

## Conclusion

- The main problem is short circuiting. When cutting the very fine mesh, the extra “hairs” of the wires come in contact with the rest of the mesh which, causes the short circuit.
- The tape that was used to prevent short circuiting will be changed from the yellow tape to a brass “tape” (no adhesive). By changing the “tape” we will be using all inorganic material for the filter so that there won’t be additional counts of particles.
- The design is not filtering at the desired rate. To fix this, the filter will be enlarged so as to be able to filter more oil.
- The design is also not filtering the smaller particles. However, if a larger filter is made, there will be more mesh for the oil to go through and thus smaller particles should be captured as well as the larger ones.
- The making of the fifth filter is still in progress. The fifth filter will be tested with the brass “tape” to prevent contamination due to the adhesive. It will also be larger than the other filters that have been made thus far.

**The Interpreter extracts roughing workingsteps from the STEP-NC data file and generates NC code automatically.**

**When roughing is done, the Interpreter extracts probing workingsteps and generates NC code, including the setting of NC variables with the results.**

**When probing is done, the Interpreter reads out the NC variables and stores them in the STEP-NC database, providing uniform access to data for either on-machine compensation or upstream analysis and planning.**

**The Interpreter computes the actual tool diameter, and updates the CNC's tool table accordingly. **

**Finishing workingsteps are extracted and converted to NC code. Unlike with wear registers, fewer or more tool paths may be calculated depending on the degree of wear. **
