## MATLAB Program for a Vehicle-Tracking Robotic Car

- _Allen Lin_
- Rutgers University
- NASA SHARP High School Apprenticeship Program
- mentored by Dr. Baruh

## Background

- Possible use on Moon or Mars
- Adaptive cruise control
- MATLAB

## 1-D Model

_**Figure 1:**_ A diagram of the forces acting on the vehicle in the simulation. The engine force (Fb) is determined by the forces of spring and dashpot in between the two cars.
- Fb = m * C1 * (D1 – D2 – Ddes) + m * C2 * (V1 – V2)

## Spring and Dashpot Constants

- 4000 lbs, mini-van size
- Larger – more accurate
- Smaller – less force oscillation

## Additions

- Three levels of braking
- Max acceleration
- Wind drag
- Rolling friction – steady state error
- Random error in distance apart, linear fit to determine velocity

## Slide 6

## Slide 7

## Slide 8

## Slide 9

## 2–D Model

- With 1–D model, one variable: velocity, one degree of freedom: position
- With 2-D model, two variables: steering angle, velocity; three degrees of freedom: x-position, y-position, angle relative to axes

## HepMC Report from MC4LHC

- CMS requested MathCore GenVector
- Others want no change to Lorentz vector
- Concern about dependencies
- Solution:  simple vector
- PdfInfo class requested by CMS
- Include generated mass

## The Simple Vector Proposal

- Remove all dependencies
- Replace HepLorentzVector with minimal simple vector
- Use templated constructor to make this *mostly* backwards compatible
- Pere has promised ROOT IO backwards fix

## Game Plan

- HepMC is a LCG external package:
- http://savannah.cern.ch/projects/HepMC/
- About to release HepMC 1.28 with PdfInfo
- HepMC 2 with simple vector
- Proposal at savannah site
- Complete implementation by the end of August (actually, as soon as I can get it out the door.)
- HepMC, HepPDT, StdHep to be removed from CLHEP
- Only after HepMC 2 is released

## Wakes are the Basis for Particle Interactions

**The Fourier transform of the wake field **
**in the beam frame is the **_***Impedance***_***.***

**The energy change **
**per turn is given by the**
***Wake Potential.***

**is the deviation from**

## Ozone and temperature profile comparisons between Aura MLS and NCEP Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS)

- Shuntai Zhou, Craig S. Long, Alvin. J. Miller (NCEP/CPC),
-        Lawrence E. Flynn and Trevor Beck (NESDIS)

## Purposes

- NCEP GDAS uses radiance from multi satellites/ instruments (HIRS, AMSU, GOES, AIRS) for temperature analysis, which can be used to validate the MLS temperature.
- NCEP GDAS uses SBUV/2 ozone profile information (NOAA-16 and -17), which lacks data in the polar night and data are less reliable in the LS/UT region. MLS ozone data can be used to validate GDAS ozone analyses.

## Data

- Time period: October 2005, January, April, and July 2006
- Vertical range for comparison: 200 – 1 hPa
- MLS data (v1.5) are binned into 5 degree latitude zones and interpolated to NCEP GDAS layers
- GDAS data (3D-VAR) are taken from 00Z zonal average
- CPC 12Z temperature analyses also compared

## MLS - CPC

**Below 5 hPa**: **CPC** uses GDAS 12Z.
**Above 5 hPa:** **CPC** uses AMSU only, objective analysis; **GDAS** uses HIRS, GOES and AIRS (no AMSU), 3D VAR assimilation.

**MLS - GDAS**

## Summary

- MLS and GDAS ozone profiles differ largely (~50%) in the polar night and the LS/UT region, where GDAS has no or less accurate ozone data input.
- In the middle to upper stratosphere where SBUV/2 accuracy and resolution are comparable to MLS, the GDAS ozone agrees well with the MLS (within ~10%).
- MLS temperature is generally warmer than the GDAS by 1~3K (maximum of ~10K in the upper stratosphere in January).

## IRB Issues in Releasing Individual Test Results in Clinical Research

- Glen Drew
- Atlanta, Georgia
- May 20, 2004

## Context

- OHRP regulates HHS conducted or supported research involving human subjects.
- OHRP gets assurance from institution that required protections will be provided.
- Human subjects are identifiable living individuals.
- Usual informed consent elements apply, or IRB may modify or waive.

## Tissue Repositories

- _[http://ohrp.osophs.dhhs.gov/humansubjects/guidance/reposit.htm](http://ohrp.osophs.dhhs.gov/humansubjects/guidance/reposit.htm)__._
- Collectors:  IRB review, consent, assurance, submittal agreement.
- Repository: IRB review, sample consent, assurance, certificate of confidentiality.
- Recipient investigators: Recipient agreement, local policies re IRB review, consent.

## Informed Consent

- Informed consent document captures information communicated during consent process.
- Fully informed adults can agree to a range of non-exculpatory conditions.
- Should give option to be in clinical trial, but withhold consent for donation of tissue (DNA).

## Informed Consent Top Ten

- IRB may find that consent should include:
- Purpose for obtaining samples.
- Potential legal, social, and psychological risks of genetic research.
- How confidentiality and privacy will be maintained.
- Whether, and conditions under which, samples will be sent to other institutions.

## Informed Consent Top Ten

- Whether future withdrawal of samples from use will be allowed.
- Length of time samples will be stored.
- Subject’s access to information learned from the research (final/interim results, incidentals).
- Any secondary use of samples (none, optional, re-contact before, de-identified).

## Informed Consent Top Ten

- Third party access (family, physicians, employers, insurers).
- For pedigree studies, whether publication may involve family pedigrees, potential breech of confidentiality.

## Conclusion

- Disclosure, non-disclosure, or extent and conditions of disclosure should be explained as part of informed consent.
- Requirements beyond 45 CFR part 46 may apply.
- Do what consent says will be done.

## Visualization 

- Need infrastructure
-  3d cave
- Facility resource to provide expert guidance to advanced techniques
- Tie together current knowledge that is now dispersed
- Needed on the timescale of the experiment
- Speed can come from desktop viewing & controlling
- Vector graphics can be better than bitmaps
- Copy plot to put in notebook/email
- Flexibility to change tools at the instrument/experiment level without going to a programmer
- Resources needed to extend current tools to TOF
- Who decides what visualization is needed?
- Common problems for pulsed sources (sparse data; cuts) dealt with up front
- Scientific communities set need for their experiments

- Pynn

## Collaboration

- Issue of responsibility of data/interpretation correctness

## blacksamson echinaceaEchinacea  angustifolia  DCOther common names; purple coneflower, echinacea, Blacksamson,  narrow-leaved purple coneflower, red sunflower, snakeroot, Kansas snakeroot, scurvy root, comb flower, hedge hog.

**Culturally**:
- It  was used for ritual feats such as immersing hands in scalding water or holding live coals in the mouth.  It is used in sweat lodges.   Seed heads were used as hair combs.  The stalks were used for play.  Children would whirl two flower stalks one around the other, the two stalks touching by the flower heads.

**Medicinally:**
-  All parts of this plant were used by Indians for medicine.  The root was widely known as a painkiller for toothaches and sore throats.  Chewing the root causes the throat, tongue and jaw to be numbed, much like a shot of novocaine administered by a dentist.  The plant was used as a blood purifier against gangrene, and to treat snakebite, bug and insect stings, blood poisoning, diphtheria, rheumatism, arthritis, mumps, measles, smallpox, rabies and cancer.  As a wash, it was used for sore or painful necks, and on burns.  The plant acts somewhat like a burn preventative and enables the body to endure extreme heat.  Medicine men bathed their hands and arms in the juice, then picked out meat from boiling stew.  Burns were bathed in the juice to give relief from pain.  Chewing on the root stimulates saliva flow.  Blacksamson was the most popular native prairie plant used as a medicine by pioneer doctors and folk practitioners.  Today this plant is widely used as an herbal remedy, primarily as an immuno-stimulant.  There is currently a market among herb dealers for the roots.  Illegal root digging can pose a threat to this plants’ population in some areas.
