- External Consulting Services
- Outcomes
- Pharmacy Workflow Assessment Report
- Problem Definition
- Detailed Workflow Analysis
- Recommendations

## Pharmacy Workflow Problem Definition

- Reduced physician confidence in the safety of the EMR and the delay in entry of medication orders in the EMR
- Pharmacist’s work environment is hectic and disruptive and impedes accurate order entry
- Replacement dose requests are documented and processed in an inefficient manner
- Orders written at night are queued for EMR entry in the morning, putting the pharmacy behind at the start of each day
- Illegible physician names on order sheets

## Existing “Replace Dose” Process 

## Proposed “Replace Dose” Process

## Pharmacy Workflow Recommendations

- Remodel space to create less disruptive environment
- Modify “replace dose” processing
- Implement EMR generated paper Medication Administration Record (MAR)
- Implement electronic MAR following software upgrade
- Perform time studies to measure workload, identify additional resources and project when to reactivate CPOE
- Implement integrated pharmacy module to eliminate duplicate order entry in pharmacy

- Guidelines for oxygen self-rescuers
- Guidelines for rescue chambers

## Summary of the Presentation

- Introduction
- General rescue chamber requirements
- Examples of rescue chamber designs
- Other considerations
- Location methodology
- Conclusions

## Introduction

- Rescue (refuge) chambers are a last resort option for trapped miners who have no escape options

## General Rescue Chamber Requirements

- Mine specific
- Move-able and re-useable
- Explosion resistant
- Air supply
- Other considerations (supplies, where to locate, etc.)

## Design of A Crosscut Rescue Chamber

**Design of A Crosscut Rescue Chamber**

- Required the development of a re-usable explosion-proof bulkhead

## Two Part Project For Rescue Chamber Study

- Design, fabrication, and ***testing*** of explosion proof bulkhead(s) for use (and re-use) in a rescue chamber
- Development of guidelines

## Key Components of An Explosion-Proof Bulkhead

- The bulkhead
- Securing the bulkhead to ribs, roof, and floor
- Man-door
- Sealing around bulkhead perimeter
*	**Emphasis on using off-the-shelf materials*

## Mine Specific Designs

- Size of crosscut
- Competence of the surrounding strata

## -3

**Design #1:****Channel-Turnbuckle****Bulkhead**

## Design #2: Truss Bulkhead

**Design #2: ****Truss Bulkhead**

## Design #3: Arch Bulkhead

## Other Considerations

- Air supply (borehole preferred)
- Food and water
- Communications
- First aid
- Maintaining roof and rib support
- Ventilation during standby periods
- Choosing location(s)

## Location Methodology

- Mine specific
- Flooding risk (pumps lose power)
- Surface access
- Within 1 hour of the face
- Locations along escape routes (and to store additional SCSRs)

## Conclusions

- Rescue chambers have a place in an overall mine escapeway plan
- The rescue chamber concept is worth revisiting and updating
- New technology will play a role
- SCSRs and other emergency breathing apparatus
- Improved structural materials (strong, lightweight)
- Improved sealants

## Autosolid

-  A solid modeler was developed and integrated with an internal 		advisory expert system to automatically transform it into a finite 		element model and to perform structural analysis
**                             ****COMMERCIALIZATION**
-  The product caught the interest of AUTODESK, the world’s 		largest CAD/CAM software company before the contract          		end date and they bought Cadetron
-  The solid modeler  was first released as AUTOSOLID then as the
-      “Advanced Modeling Extension” (AME) to the AutoCAD product.
-      Sales of this product resulted in several million dollars of revenue.

## The GenVector Package

- The MathCore Replacement for CLHEP::Vector
- Lorenzo Moneta is spearheading it
- We came in early with
- CLHEP Vector expertise
- Significant design improvements

## What is in GenVector

- The usual 2-, 3-, and 4-vectors
- The usual Rotations, LorentzRotations
- And specializations like BoostZ
- The notion of coordinateSystem
- Polar, Cartesian, CylindricalEta, etc for 3d
- Minkowski and various combinations of E, m, pt, eta, ... for 4d
- Rotations in different representations
- Axis/angle
- Euler Angles
- Quaternions

## What is in GenVector

- The usual 2-, 3-, and 4-vectors
- The usual Rotations, LorentzRotations
- And specializations like BoostZ
- The notion of coordinateSystem
- Polar, Cartesian, CylindricalEta, etc for 3d
- Minkowski and various combinations of E, m, pt, eta, ... for 4d
- Rotations in different representations
- Axis/angle
- Euler Angles
- Quaternions

## What else is in GenVector

- Distinction between a PositionVector  and a DisplacementVector
- Demanded by Geant4 crowd
- Proper distinction is not always adhered to!

## What have we done

- We implemented quite a bit of the package
- Major revamp of the basic classes to avoid design disasters
- All the coordinate classes and the various rotation classes
- We have written most of the extensive testing

## Where are we?

- Just completed major testing of rotation classes (coordinate class testing was already completed)
- Would be good to complete various collections of features
- More efficient transformations among specialized coordinates and rotations
- Distance functions between any pair of 3- and/or 4- rotations
- Our GenVector work is on pause for now
- Can see about 3-4 weeks of useful items
- Can wait and see what the CERN crew does

## Issues

- For headaches concerning GenVector, see HepMC
- Depends on Vector
- Could move to GenVector
- But then users relying on CLHEP:::Vector are hassled
- It would be ugly (though possible) to template on vector type.
- Working on a team with CERN is possible
- But without a lot of travel, we end up as very junior partners

## Other MathCore Activities?

- We have not plunged into other sanctioned and active MathCore packages
- Not much resource or priority in that direction here
- Effort which potentially was “mathlib” is redirected to the aspect of doing the Phystat repository

## Overview

- The victim made a splice on a conveyor belt and was making adjustments to the belt.  He was found entangled in the tail pulley of the conveyor.

## Slide 3

## Causal Factors

- Procedures had not been established that required guards to be installed upon completion of repair work.  Guarding was removed to facilitate the splicing of the conveyor belt and had not been replaced prior to operating the conveyor.
- Management failed to recognize the hazards associated with performing work near moving conveyor belts

## Best Practices

- Stop, Look, Analyze, and Manage (SLAM) each task.
- Keep all guards securely in place except when testing or making adjustments which cannot be performed without the removal of the guard.
- Align conveyor belts from a safe location where the moving parts can't grab you.
- Clean up excessive spillage before repairing a conveyor belt.

## Low Fuel Load Flammability Work

**International Aircraft Systems Fire Protection Working Group**
**Ottawa, Canada**
**February 15 – 16, 2005**

**Steve Summer**
**Project Engineer**
**Federal Aviation Administration**
**Fire Safety Branch**

## Objectives

- Previous tests have shown that in order to see a significant decrease in flammability, the mass loading of the tank must be driven down to 0.25 kg/m3 or less.
- If it were feasible to do this though, would fuel leaking in from other tanks be counterproductive to the flammability reduction.

## Apparatus

- Utilizing same tank as was used in the fuel condensation modeling work.
- Peristaltic pump used to pump fresh fuel into tank such that it sprays in at far side and traverses the entire bottom of the tank.
- Fuel inside of tank is continuously drained at approximately the same rate that fresh fuel is entering (~0.3 LPM).
- Bottom heater temperature is maintained at 180oF for approximately 1.5 hours.

## Apparatus

**Apparatus**

- Fuel Spray

- Drain

## Results

## Conclusion

- Flow of fresh fuel across the heated bottom surface of a tank negate the effects of a low fuel load by increasing THC (flammability) by a factor of 2.5 - 4.

## Impacts of Land Use Changes on California’s Climate

**Impacts of Land Use Changes on California’s Climate**
**Hideki Kanamaru (hkanamaru@ucsd.edu), Masao Kanamitsu **
**Experimental Climate Prediction Center, Scripps Institution of Oceanography**

- California has seen a huge change in land use since mid-1800s with a sharp increase in population. This study investigates the role of land use changes had on California’s climate.
- This study is a part of model intercomparison project of land use change research for California (MM5 and RegCM3 are other participating models).

- The RSM is nested within the Global Spectral Model (GSM).
- Physics and dynamics are consistent with the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis model.
- Spectral formulation of difference between global and regional fields.
- Land surface model is OSU2 with two soil layers.

- Two land cover data sets were prepared. 1: pre-1890 pre-settlement natural vegetation and 2: modern land cover with irrigated croplands and urban areas.
- In the model two distinct land covers are treated as:
- In irrigated cropland, soil is saturated.
- In urban land, canopy resistance is very large.

| 0 | Water | 7 | Tropical evergreen broadleaved forest |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Mixed farming tall grassland | 8 | Evergreen forest, needle leaved forest |
| 2 | Tall/medium grassland, shrubland | 9 | Medium grassland |
| 3 | Short grassland meadow and shrubland | 10 | Deciduous forest |
| 4 | Tundra | 11 | Mixed deciduous and evergreen forest |
| 5 | Sandy desert | 12 | Urban |
| 6 | Rocky desert | 13 | Irrigated cropland |

**JUL**

**JAN**

- Areas with significant temperature changes (beyond variance from the pre-settlement ensemble run) are shaded in colour.
- Diurnal temperature range (DTR) is reduced in irrigated land due to decreased daily maximum temperature.
- DTR is slightly increased in urban land due to increased daily maximum temperature.
- Temperature changes between pre-settlement and modern runs are much smaller in January than July.
- Higher surface pressure causes wind changes in the valley. Small changes in precipitation pattern to the east of valley in mountains

- Urban land has lower albedo, less latent heat cooling due to lack of vegetation and drier soil, and more sensible heat. Tsfc increases with urbanization as well as T2m.
- Tmax increase (2C) is larger than Tmin increase (1C), so diurnal temperature range is slightly larger in modern run.
- January changes are smaller than July.

- Perform long-term solder joint reliability test for recolumned package assemblies until failure using baseline thermal cycle profile (-55/100°C).
- Analyze thermal cycle reliability and microstructural changes inc comparison to packages with virgin columns.
- Generate guideline for package recolumning as well as reliability changes due to such package rework both internal/external to package.

-    Review literature rework procedure and plan rework
-    Initiate rework for one part that had already failed after cycling
-    Establish rework procedure, lessons learned
-     Rework other parts as become available when failed
-     Send to vendor for recolumning
-     Assemble recolumn package on board
-     Inspection and document quality
-     Start thermal cycling (-55/100°C-first)

## We already know what is in the bulk dust

**i.e. We know the signature “semi-quantitatively”**
- Questions to answer
-  Are signature components present in background samples?
-  At what dilution levels is the signature no longer useful?
-  Does the signature change with distance/elevation?
-  Is the signature consistent with different sample types – wipe, microvac, air?
-  How variable are the signature components from sample to sample?
-  Is the relationship between signature components and COPCs consistent

## What we need

-  Background samples
-  Samples containing different dilutions of WTC dust. *We will need to make some or all of these samples.*
-  Protocols for collecting new samples that are compatible with the analytical techniques to be used.  Example: filters must have low background for trace element and organic analysis.
-  Protocols for collecting new samples that accurately reflect the level of contamination.
