## chokecherry  

_*Prunus*_ * *_*virginiana*_  L.
- Other common names; common chokecherry, red chokecherry, bird cherry, jam cherry.

**CAUTION:**
- This plant is listed as poisonous.  People and livestock have died from eating berries, twigs and leaves.  It contains two toxic chemicals, amygdalin and prunasin.  The most common form of poisoning is hydrocyanic acid (prussic acid).  This is created by enzymatic action on the glucoside, amygdalin.
**Medicinally:**
-  Berry juice was taken to treat for ague, colds, coughs, sore throats, chills, fever, laryngitis and diarrhea.
-  A tea was brewed from the bark or leaves and used by lactating mothers to pass medicinal qualities onto a baby.  Others used the tea as a blood tonic, a purge, a choleric, a sedative, to treat heartburn, promote menstruation, rid intestinal warts and as a general pain reliever.  A water mix was used as a wash on skin sores and open ulcers.  It was used in the steam in sweat lodges as a cure for bile, indigestion and jaundice.

## MADD Data Screen

## LADR Data Screen

## XADR Data Screen

## XADR

- Character by character compare with incoming record
- Reviews each record back 12 months
- If match found, skip incoming record
- If no match, proceed to LADR

## LADR

- Character by character compare with incoming record
- If match found, skip incoming record
- If no match, proceed to MADD

## MADD

- Character by character compare of incoming record for any end dated MADD for past 12 months
- If match found, skip incoming record

- If match found, skip incoming record
- If no match, create new LADR record for worker review

## Worker Actions

- When LADR record is created a Postal Verification form is automatically generated and mailed
- If worker does not either confirm, discard to XADR or delete record within 30 days, an alert is generated to remind worker to take additional action.
- If worker disposes of the LADR record, no alert is generated

## Flowchart

- For the Techies

## Defensive Stats

- Receive an average of 60,000 incoming address records per week from all interfaces.
- 3.12 million per year.
- 70% of incoming addresses are filtered out before entering the data base and are never seen by the worker.

## Defensive Stats

- Approximately 35,000 incoming records received from FPLS per week (address and employer).
- Filters eliminate about 80% of the incoming records as being older than 1 year or already known to system.
- About 7500 FPLS records per week require worker review/action.

## Summary

- Get to know your interface data sources
- Analyze incoming data

## Physical Exposure vs Mental Stress:Explaining Psychological Symptoms Following the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks

- Howard Kipen, Dan Wartenberg, Rob Laumbach,  Gerald Harris, Panos Georgopoulos, David Vlahov, Sandro Galea
- Environmental and Occupational Sciences Institute
- UMDNJ—RW Johnson Medical School, Piscataway, NJ
- Supported by NIEHS Center Supplement ES05022

## Previous Researchmultivariate predictors of symptoms

- Galea et al. 2002 (survey 1 month after event)
*PTSD *and *depression *higher below Canal St than below 110th St
*PTSD *Predictors:  Hispanic, _>_2 prior stressors, panic attack, low social support, death of friend/relative during attacks, loss of job due to attacks
*Depression  *Predictors:  Hispanic, _>_2 prior stressors, panic attack, loss of possessions due to attacks
- Galea et al. 2003 (survey 6 months after attack)
*PTSD dropped from 7.5% at 1 month to 0.6 at 6 months*
*Current Probable PTSD *Predictor:  loss of job due to attacks

## Current Research Questions

- Do quantitative exposure estimates improve prediction of *PTSD* and *Depression *symptoms
- Within Manhattan
- Or is residence south of Canal St. sufficient?
- In the New York Metropolitan Area
- What is the prevalence of new onset *asthma*?
- Does new onset *asthma *vary by region?
- What are predictors of new onset *asthma*?

## Methodologic Approach

## Nanostructured Surfaces with Long-range order for Controlled Self-AssemblyC.A. Ross, H.I. Smith, C.V. Thompson, F.M. Ross; MIT and IBM, DMR0210321, 8/1/2002 – 7/31/2006 

- This project develops methods and processes to control the position and geometry of arrays of nanostructures over large areas with precise long-range order. An example is the templating of domains in block copolymers (top). We have analysed the templating accuracy for lithographic applications. We also templated pores in anodic alumina and used the resulting porous film to create thin-walled magnetic tubes (bottom) which may be useful in magnetic fluids or drug delivery. We templated the formation of metal dots within regularly-spaced inverted pyramids: these can serve as nucleation sites for arrays of nanotubes.

- Three graduate students (Mike Walsh, Amanda Giermann, Ram Krishnan), two postdocs (Joy Cheng and Kornelius Nielsch) and an undergraduate researcher (Mariana Shnayderman) have worked on this project. Our work spans many self-assembling systems, and applications such as data storage, and we have worked with a range of collaborators from Spain, the Netherlands, Singapore and the US. Two of the PIs are writing a graduate course on nanoprocessing of materials.

**Outreach:**
- Working with Felice Frankel, a science communicator/artist at MIT, Mariana developed a set of animations designed to explain the  concept of templated self-assembly to the public. See http://web.mit.edu/dmse/ross/nanomovies.htm

## Status of Scaling  FFAG Phase Rotation ICOOL Simulations

- Ajit Kurup
- ISS Machine Group Meeting
- 27th July 2006

## Introduction

- A. Sato was kind enough to give me the OPERA field map of the PRISM magnet.
- Averaged the field map to use with ICOOL
- First simulations in ICOOL with the coarse grid without any cavities.
- Obtain closed orbit and look at dynamic aperture

## Field Map

- PRISM field map:
- r from 565 to 735 cm (step=1cm), z from 0 to 17cm (step=1cm) and  from -18 to 0 deg (step=0.1deg)
- Averaged field map:
- r from 567.5 to 732.5cm (step=5cm), z from 1 to 17cm (step=2cm) and  from -17 to  0deg in 1deg increments (theta direction)
- Br and B for y=0 was set to 0 and B was set to 0 for =0

## Dynamic Aperture

- Generated a beam evenly spaced in x, px, y and py
- x=x0(-0.5m+1m) in 0.1m steps, y=y0± 0.15m in 0.01m steps
- pi=pi0±0.02GeV/c in 0.002GeV/c steps (i=x,y)
- x0, y0, pi0 are the coords of the closed orbit particle.

- For 5 turns of the ring

## Gaussian Beam Tracking

- Generated a Gaussian beam (with no correlations) of 1000 muons using:
- x=0.05, y=0.035, px=0.0025 and py=0.002

## Gaussian Beam Tracking(2)

- Field region

## Dynamic Aperture Again

- With an aperture of ±1m in x and ±0.17m in y after each cell.

- Total number of particles that survive is now ~1/10 of what it was

- For 5 turns of the ring

## Field Map Again

- x(cm)

- x(cm)

- x(cm)

- Bx

- Bx

- Bx

## Simple Dipole

- Dipole field with a fixed Bx of 0.005T
- everywhere expect at y=0.
- Same grid spacing and same gaussian
- beam.

## Simple Dipole(2)

- For one particle

## Simple Dipole with a circular beam

- Linear interpolation

- Quadratic interpolation

- Circular beam.  The field region in y is now ±0.09m

## Simple Dipole with a circular beam

- Circular beam.  The field region in y is ±0.09m but the region of the simulation is now 0.08m in radius.

## Plan

- Solve interpolation problem!
- Include rf cavities with saw-tooth waveform and phase them correctly.
- Look at phase-rotation with a generated gaussian beam of mean momentum of 0.068GeV/c.
- Scale this up for a beam with mean momentum of 0.2GeV/c
- Use the MARS-15 10GeV protons on a Tantalum target input file.

## Facts to Consider:Presentation to the Coordinating Council on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention 

- Howard N. Snyder
- National Center for Juvenile Justice
- Washington, DC, September 8, 2006

## Mental Health Concerns

## Between 1981 and 2001, juveniles were about as likely to be a suicide victim as a murder victim

## Between 1981 and 2001, the juvenile suicide rate varied greatly by state

## Between 1981 and 2001, juvenile suicide victims outnumbered juvenile murder victims in 33 states 

## Life Style Changes

## Living in a disadvantaged community strongly influences a youth’s risk of victimization

## The annual birth rate for females ages 15–19 declined between 1950 and 2000, while the proportion of births to unmarried females rose

## Living in a two-parent family may protect a youth from the effects of a disadvantaged community

## Violent crime by juvenile offenders peaks in the after-school hours on school days

## The Level ofJuvenile Violence

## The juvenile Violent Crime Index arrest rate was lower in 2004 than in any year since at least 1980

## The juvenile arrest rate for murder in 2004was 77% below the peak 1993 rate; to return to1993 levels, it would have to increase by 330%

## Increases in Violence byJuvenile Females

## The growth in the juvenile violent crime arrest rate was greater for females than males

## The decline in the juvenile murder arrest ratewas similar for females and males

**The decline in the juvenile murder arrest rate****was similar for females and males**

## The decline in the juvenile arrest rate for robbery was similar for males and females

**The decline in the juvenile arrest rate for robbery was similar for males and females**

## The juvenile arrest rate for burglary declinedfor both males and females

**The juvenile arrest rate for burglary declined****for both males and females**

## The arrest rate trends for motor vehicle theft were similar for males and females

**The arrest rate trends for motor vehicle theft were similar for males and females**

## The trend in juvenile arrest rate for drug abuse violations was similar for males and females

## But the growth in the aggravated assault arrest rate was proportionately greater for juvenile females

## And the growth in simple assault arrest rates was proportionately greater for juvenile females

## And the growth in weapon arrest rates was considerably greater for juvenile females

## violet prairie clover Dalea  purpurea  Vent.Synonym: Petalostemon  purpureum. Other common names; purple prairie clover, red tassel flower, thimbleweed.

**Medicinally:**
- Violet and white prairie clovers were used in much the same way.  When mixed with hot water, the pulverized root makes a strong tea, which was used as a preventative medicine or prophylactic, for cardiovascular problems, diarrhea, measles, and stomachaches.
- As a wash, it was used on open skin wounds.
- As a poultice, it was applied to wounds.
- Settlers mixed the bark of white oak and the flowers of prairie clovers to make a drink they used as a medicine for diarrhea, and to reduce fever in measles.

## Slide 1

## According to information from Colorado State University, wheat varieties resistant to Russian wheat aphid have been in Colorado for about 10 years, starting with Halt.

_**Resistant versions of several popular wheats**_**:**
**Ankor(Akron)**
**Prairie Red (TAM 107)**
**Prowers 99 (Lamar)**
**Yumar (Yuma)**
**Stanton is from Kansas and has different source of resistance**

## The resistance in the first five of these varieties is conferred by the gene Dn4

**Russian wheat aphid resistant varieties accounted for roughly 25 percent of Colorado’s wheat acres in 2002 and 2003 crop years, with higher percentages in counties with more consistent infestations**

**Source: Colorado State University**

## A biotype survey revealed a new biotype. Original biotypes were classified as Biotype A. Biotype B was found in eastern Colorado and has expanded since first observed last spring.

**A biotype survey revealed a new biotype. Original biotypes were classified as Biotype A. Biotype B was found in eastern Colorado and has expanded since first observed last spring.**

**Varieties resistant to Biotype A are still an important Russian wheat aphid management tool**

## A common question is how soon will varieties resistant to both Biotype A and the New biotypes be available?

**This will depend on where researchers can find new sources of resistance**

## The development period will be short IF:

**Resistance is found in advanced breeding material with good quality and agronomic traits**

**This is highly unlikely, so a more likely scenario will be resistance may be found **

**Breed-of-sire evaluation****	**
**Fixed breed effect to distinguish between purebred and F****1**** calvings**

## Calving Ease Data

**CE records from 1998 to 2003**
**11,793 BS and 3443 BS-sired F****1****s**
**65,293 JE and 7095 JE-sired F****1****s**
**Herds with only one observation or only difficult calvings were excluded**

## BS Threshold Model Solutions

## BS Service Sire and Daughter PTA for %DBH by Birth Year of Bull

## Distribution of BS Service Sire and Daughter PTA for %DBH

## JE Threshold Model Solutions

## JE Service Sire and Daughter PTA for %DBH by Birth Year of Bull

## Distribution of JE Service Sire and Daughter PTA for %DBH

## Conclusions

**Crossbred animals can be rapidly identified using the new database.**
**It is feasible to use crossbred records in genetic evaluation.**
**There is no genetic trend for calving ease in BS or JE.**
**Future analyses will include breed effects for service sires and dams.**
