## TCSP/NAMMA: Wednesday Morning Session Topics

**Use of “targeted observations” to examine where to best gather observations to best influence downstream forecasts**
* **Not only for dropsondes, since future satellite sensors may have pointing capabilities, or rapid-update microwave capabilties from geo orbit*
**Identification and analysis of vortical hot towers from EDOP data**
-  *Only ER-2 based radars can readily identify the presence of VHTs*
* **EDOP has been involved with many field programs and sufficient number of VHT’s may be readily identifiable for multi-case studies*
**Examination of different microphysical parameterization schemes upon development of TC intensity**
-  *Model’s microphysics determine what radars and satellites “remotely sense”*
* **No clear answer on whether one or two moment schemes are better*

## TCSP/NAMMA: Wednesday Morning Session Topics

**Initialization of numerical forecast models with satellite rainrate data to examine effects on microphysical processes and hurricane intensity**
* **Satellite-based rainfall may have large errors in its quantitative estimates (especially at short time scales), but does have the advantage of placing the rain in the right place*
* **Helps guide the model time evolution*
* **Three-hourly global multi-satellite rainfall analysis are readily available*
* **Excellent application of NASA-developed satellite technologies and GPM-like products*
**Role of Saharan dust on large-scale circulation and role in tropical cyclone development**
-  *Links between TC development and West African rainfall*
* **Showcases combined role for NASA satellite observations (SST and precip from MODIS, TRMM) and large scale modeling*

## CAREER: Development of Novel Ternary Copolymer AssembliesRobert B. Grubbs, Dartmouth College, DMR-0239697

- Linking chemically dissimilar polymer chains together into block copolymers leads to materials that form interesting self-assembled structures in bulk and in solution in which specific chemical functionality is localized to well-defined nanometer-scale regions in three-dimensional space.
- We are attempting to use this behavior to locate multiple nanometer-scale metallic particles in polymer films.  Alkyne-functional polymers have proven to effective for the localization of cobalt-functional polymer blocks to defined regions of a polymer film (Figure 1). Organization of cobalt-containing domains might allow the preparation of high capacity magnetic storage devices.
*(see* Mîinea, et al. *Macromolecules ***2004**; Sessions, et al. *ibid*. **2005**.*)*

- We have also prepared triblock copolymers that should form assemblies of vastly different sizes and shapes depending upon solution temperature (Figure 2).  We are investigating these assemblies as potential nanometer-scale devices and as drug delivery vehicles.
*(see* Wegrzyn, et al. *J. Polym. Sci. A  ***2005**; Aubrecht, et al. *ibid*. **2005**.*)*

## New system at T254 with assimilation reduces systematic error in height and temperature in Northern Hemisphere extratropics near orography

- Reduces positive wind bias in lower and mid-troposphere, but does not reduce damping of jet cores
- Reduces stratospheric biases in Z, T, RH
- Increases forecast variability.
- Decreased wind error in NH extratropics; increased wind error in tropics, Southern Hemisphere
- No spin-up in tropics, instead cooler in tropics.  Due to effect of horizontal resolution on physics?  Could be effect of assimilation with new system, but doesn’t show up in analyses.
- Scores--NH better, SH same, tropics slightly worse

- Designed higher frequency, higher field VUV source.
**  ****	****	****COMMERCIALIZATION**
- ECR plasma equipment and technology were adapted to treat internal and external surfaces of polymer tubing, especially for medical applications. (See graphic of ECR plasma inside 4 mm ID silicone rubber tube.)
- Patent application has been filed for ECR plasma treatment of polymer tubing.
- Spire plans to commercialize ECR plasma treatments for medical devices.

**S****mall**
**B****usiness**
**I****nnovation**
**R****esearch**

- 1992 Phase II, SS-5-074, 1/03

**GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE APPLICATIONS**
- Many potential NASA and Government applications for ECR plasma treatment of polymers, glass, and ceramics.  E.g., biological and medical research, bioactive coatings, low-temperature sterilization.
- Spire Corporation has received Phase I and Phase II SBIR grants from National Science Foundation to develop ECR plasma treatments for bioactive coatings on internal and external surfaces of polymer tubing such as catheters.

**Goddard Space Flight Center**

**INNOVATION**
- Radiation source based on resonant heating of electrons in magnetically-confined plasma. Light output covers a wide wavelength range from visible to VUV.  Source could provide intense, stable radiation for instrumentation calibration and UV degradation studies on large samples.

- Points of Contact:
- 	NASA – Ray Boucarut (301) 286-4251
- 	Spire - Ward Halverson (781) 275-6000

- graphic

**Notes:**
NOTES:
NASA Goddard-sponsored Phase II program demonstrated strong, stable VUV output can be achieved down to about 25 nm.  Shorter wavelengths (down to about 5 nm, required for NASA VUV instrument calibration) would need a new light source design with higher microwave frequency and stronger magnetic field.
Commercial potential of a VIS-UV-VUV light source is very limited—principally to manufacturers of research instrumentation such as optical spectrometers.
ECR plasma sources for thin-film deposition have been commercially successful for about 25 years—Spire’s adaptation for plasma treatment of inside and outside surfaces of small-diameter tubing is new and has been shown to promote adhesion of bioactive coatings on materials such as silicone rubber, polyurethane, and other polymers used in medical products.  
Spire is proceeding, on IR&D funding and an NSF Phase II SBIR grant, to develop ECR plasma treatments for its new hemodialysis catheter product.  The catheter represents a considerable commercial opportunity for Spire Biomedical, and an antithrombotic coating, facilitated by the ECR plasma treatment, would add both medical and economic value to the product.

## Novel Polymer Microgel Dispersions with an Inverse Thermoreversible Gelation Zhibing Hu , University of North Texas, DMR 0507208 

- Photo-, thermally, and pH-responsive polymer microgels have been synthesized by incorporation of a photochromic spiropyran monomer (SP) into poly(*N*-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgels. The resultant PNIPAM-SP monodisperse microgels can self-assemble into crystalline structures in water that have interesting optical properties due to long-range ordering in additional to their thermal and photo responsive properties.
- For biological applications, the use of light offers unique opportunities, as light fluxes are easy to control temporally and are less likely to perturb delicate biological structures than most other stimuli.

**Top:** A dispersion of PNIPAM-SP microgels under various light conditions. From left to right: (a) dark, (b) UV, and (c) visible light irradiation. **Bottom:**  UV-visible spectra of the same sample. The absorbance peak around 512 nm is attributed to the merocyanine. Two sharp peaks are Bragg diffractions from colloidal crystallites in the dispersion.  [*Langmuir* **23**, 224, 2007]

## Novel Polymer Microgel Dispersions with an Inverse Thermoreversible Gelation Zhibing Hu, University of North Texas, DMR 0507208 

- Two graduate students and two undergraduate students are working on this project.
- Shijun Tang received PhD in Physics, 2006; Stephen Crouch received MS in Chemistry, 2006; and Chiming Chen received MS in Materials Science and Engineering, 2006.
- J'Nae Zwaschka, an undergraduate sponsored by NSF’s REU program, and Robert Breedlove have worked on this project in summer 2006. Zwaschka has presented her results at the 2006 Fall Texas Section Meeting of the American Physical Society.

**Outreach**
- The PI hosted three students of the Texas Science and   Mathematic Academy (TAMS) at UNT in the laboratories.  One of them, A. Lin, based on her innovative research in the Hu Lab, was named as:
- --a Siemens Westinghouse Competition Semifinalist and Regional Finalist,

## MNM Fatal 2006-17

- Powered Haulage
- July 15, 2006 (Puerto Rico)
- Sand & Gravel Operation
- Truck Driver
- 61 years old
- 40 years experience

## Overview

- The victim was fatally injured when the haul
- truck he was operating in the mine
- extraction area backed into a water filled
- pit.

## Slide 3

## Root Causes

- A risk assessment to determine possible hazards and to establish work procedures was not conducted prior to resuming work in the mine extraction area.
- Management policies, standards, and controls were inadequate. Examinations had not been conducted to evaluate the hazards at the mine extraction area the day prior to the accident or on the day of the accident. The mine supervisor was on vacation and no one was assigned to conduct the examinations.

## Best Practices

**Ensure that examinations of ground conditions are conducted in pit areas before commencing work and relay potential hazards to all miners exposed. **
**In situations/locations where travelways are not clearly distinguishable, markers or other marking techniques should be used to aid equipment operators. **
**When conditions change, examine travelways to evaluate hazards and install barriers to limit travel of mobile equipment. **
**Stop, Look, Analyze, and Manage, SLAM each task to identify all potential hazards. Initiate action to protect yourself when performing every task. **

## Studies of Pedestal Spliting

- 8 modules on the support structure
- Read out only 1 and 2 in this study
- We know cal_sr in 2 has contribution to 1
- Try to see the effect of clock
- HV = 50 V
- BW = 4 with 132 ns integration time

-    4         3           2         1

-    8         7           6         5

- z = 0

- Andrei/Daekwang/Kazu

## Starting point

- pipeline depth same timing with cal_sr

- cal_sr away from sampling pipeline

- Size of pedestal splitting is ~1.2 after eliminating cal_sr contribution (0.8-0.9 in single module)

## Putting capacitor in parallel

- Failed to see the effect in the last report, but there was some mistake  repeated measurement
- capacitor is added on module 2
- sampling pipeline away from cal_sr
- some effect seen

- 20pF

- 56pF

- 100pF

- ADC=0

## Noise level

- default (no cap. pipeline=cal_sr)

- 100pF pipeline=cal_sr

- 100pF pipeline away from cal_sr

- We finally see not only the pedestal splitting but also pick-up noise, but why with this configuration?

## Reduced clock amplitude

- Again sampling pipeline away from cal_sr
- Pedestal splitting becomes smaller in module 1, but larger in 2 (?)

- longer cable

- 320 mV swing

- 100 mV swing

## Other observation

- Local effect by cal_sr is enhanced after replacing the digital cable   distance between digital cable to chip changed ???

- normal clock

- clock-clockbar 320mV

## Summary

- We confirmed clock actually affects the size of pedestal splitting, on top of cal_sr
- Detailed mechanism is not clear
- Reduced clock in module 2 helps to improve module 1, but makes module 2 worse
- cal_sr effect is local or only for chip below the cal_sr trace, however, clock gives contribution to whole module

## TDT2000 Link Detection 

**TDT2000 Link Detection **
**Evaluation Results**
- Jonathan Fiscus and George Doddington

## TDT Link Detection Task

- One Participant: University of Massachusetts
- System Goal:
**To detect whether a pair of stories discuss the same topic.**
- (Can be thought of as a “primitive operator” to build a variety of applications)

**?**

## 2000 Link Detection Results

- A lot was learned last year:
- The test set must be properly sampled
- “Linked” story pairs were selected by randomly sampling all possible on-topic story pairs
- “Unlinked” pairs were selected using all on-topic stories as one of the pair, and a randomly chosen story was chosen as the second
- This year, the task was made multilingual
- More story pairs were used

- Link Detection Test Set Composition

## Link Detection Results

**Link Detection Results**

- Required Condition
- Multilingual texts
- Newswire + Broadcast News ASR,
- Reference story boundaries
- 10 file decision deferral

- FFMP
- FFG
- Urbanization and Fire Scars
- Mass Wasting (Landslide)
- Radar QPE
- Flash Flood Modeling
- River Ice Jams
- Dambreak

## Flash Flood Training at COMET

- Flash flood will be part of the: Basic Hydrologic Sciences (Distance Learning) FY06
- Basic Hydrologic Cycle
- Unit Hydrograph
- Land Use
- Rainfall-Runoff Process
- Hydrologic Models
- River Ice

## Flash Flood Training Definition

- A life threatening flood that occurs within 6 hours of heavy or excessive rainfall, dam or levee failure, or sudden release of water from an ice jam
- ***Note:**** Flash flood is often within 1 hour of intense rainfall; in river ice situations the flood usually occurs **_**upstream**_** of an ice jam**

## Flash Floods in Storm Data

- 1. Heavy rain caused street flooding just as street festival was underway (street was not closed)
- No listed info on timing w.r.t. intense rainfall
- No injuries, no damages reported
- 2. Road closed due to flooding.
- About 2 hours after intense rainfall began
- No injuries or damages listed

## Flash Floods in Storm Data

- 3. Major flooding across the county.  *(Long description described excessive rainfall amounts and road closures over four days for multiple counties).*
- 12 hours or more after rain began, in effect for 9-17 hours
- 1 fatality, $10K damages
- The same description appeared for more than 12 counties, some called it “flood”, some called it “flash flood”.

## Flash Flood Training Issues

**What do you do if you get reports of water on the road?**
**Depth criteria?**
**More than localized?**
**Is a road closure report a ****flash flood for certain?**
**What about potential levee failures ****when flood warnings are already ****issued?**
**In remote areas, can there be a**** rainfall threshold criteria?**
**How do you know when an urban flood (nuisance) becomes a “life-threatening” flash flood?**

- Full solution, taking into account both skill by methods and ‘co-linearity’ among methods:
-     AA		AB		AC		a		AO
- 	BA		BB		BC		b		BO
- 	CA		CB		CC		c		CO
- If  a, b, and c are too sensitive to details of co-linearity, try:
- AA +ε2	AB		AC		a		AO
- 	BA		BB +ε2 		BC		b		BO
- 	CA		CB		CC +ε2 		c		CO
- Even very small +ε2  can stabilize the worst possible matrices.
- Adding  +ε2   to main diagonal plays down the role of co-linearity ever so slightly.
- 2nd layer of amplitude adjustment may be needed
