## NASA Datasets Management Using Process Libraries and Electronic Handbooks (Where Shakespeare Meets Freud)

- Dr. Barry E. Jacobs
- NASA/GSFC

## Objective:  Develop Internet-based tools to support the paperless documentation and management of complex distributed processes. 

## Organizations provide different views of the subprocesses. 

## Solution: Process Libraries maintain organization's views of the subprocesses.

## Our basic approach is to wrap organization's subprocesses in a common envelope to facilitate learning, plus intra- and inter-organization communication.

## Provides communication vehicles between people in the same and different organizations. 

- Provides subprocesses and their subtasks.
- Provides subprocess documents and samples of these documents.
- Provides user instructions (Guidelines/Electronic Handbooks) to facilitate team development of subprocess documents.
- Allows organizations to tailor the above to their specific needs.
- Provides communication vehicles between people in the same and different organizations.

## Process Libraries (PLs) and Electronic Handbooks (EHBs) are where Shakespeare meets Freud.

- In Process Libraries (PLs), subprocesses are represented as "plays" where "actors" communicate thru the Internet. Each organization puts on its own “productions”. For each role, Electronic Handbooks (EHBs) guide actors thru their parts. [Shakespearean]
- Organizations are represented as "teams" having "multiple personalities". Subprocess "plays" provide communication vehicles between members of the same team, different teams, and teams from different processes. [Freudian]

## We believe that to truly understand one's universe, one must see it thru multiple "eyes“ and also have tools to “communicate” these views.

## Conclusion

**A model for the analysis of adiabatic instabilities in superconducting strands was built and tested with two strand types used in Fermilab cosine-theta and racetrack magnets. It was found that calculated quench current has a good correlation with the one measured in the cosine-theta short models. The model suggests that the reason of premature quenches in the racetrack models is not in the magnetic instabilities alone. **
**More work needs to be done on verifying the model with the strand measurements and analyzing effects of non-uniform transport current distribution within a strand, heat transfer and current sharing between adjacent filaments and external cooling by liquid helium.**

## Climate Database Modernization Program

**TASK ORDER TITLE: L-20**
**Imaging Tasks - Lightship Data from Finland and Sweden**
**National Oceanographic Data Center/World Data Center for Oceanography, Silver Spring**
**Robert D Gelfeld, **_[Robert.Gelfeld@noaa.gov](mailto:Robert.Gelfeld@noaa.gov)_

## The first phase involved scanning the historical lightship logbooks from:

- World Data Center for Oceanography, Silver Spring (WDC) archives
- 2. Finland Institute of Marine Research (FIMR) in Helsinki, Finland
- 3. Swedish Meteorological and Hydrographic Institute (SMHI) in Goteborg, Sweden

## The second phase digitized the scanned lightship images and provided the images and indexes to WDC on CD-ROM; these were forwarded to IMC and loaded into the WSSRD.

- The data for all three sources consists of three main types of data sets:
- 1. Temperature and salinity from standard depths
- 2. Daily surface temperature observations
- 3. Wind observations three times per day and accompanying observations of current speed and direction at  one or more depths

## PRV95 Pressure Relief Valve for Aerospace TestingMarotta Scientific Controls, Inc., Huntsville, AL

- Pressure Relief Valve
- The PRV95 Pressure Relief Valve offers high performance with no impact with an ultrasoft opening and closing design.

- Accomplishments
- PRV95 is still in the prototype stage.
- This non-impact, no-oscillation relief valve solves current fluid system pressure problems associated with conventional “pop-type” relief valves.
- The PRV95 establishes Marotta in the pressure relief valve market.
- Marotta has invested $250,000 into the continued development of the PRV95.

- Commercialization
- Marotta ownes U.S. Patent No. 5,078,177 on the PRV95 Pressure Relief Valve.
- The primary target market for the valve is the aerospace industry, applicable to both ground support and flight applications.
- Marotta plans to take the concept and develop it for use with other line media, such as cryogenic service, liquids (water, diesel fuel, etc.) and natural gas.
- The unique competitive advantage of the PRV95 is its no-impact design.
- The valve utilizes a concept known as upstream control for valve positioning, making the valve more stable and exhibiting excellent repeatability and minimal hysteresis.
- The PRV95 is especially desirable when used in oxygen-rich environments where the possibility of an explosion or fire is very high with conventional pop-type relief valves.

- Government/Science Applications
- Applications within the aerospace industry include, but are not limited to, launch facilities, launch vehicles and test facilities.
- Modified versions of the PRV95 will also be applicable for United States Navy and United States Army applications.

- New Mexico statutory provisions related to use and disclosure of PHI are fragmented, outdated, and poorly-written

## Recent Legislative Efforts in New Mexico 

- Proposed Solution:  Enact legislation that:
- Authorizes electronic health records
- Provides a consistent means of allowing uses and disclosures of PHI in the context of electronic health exchange
- Provides relevant statutory provisions with updated, clear terminology in a centralized location

## Recent Legislative Efforts in New Mexico 

- Approach:
- Reviewed efforts in other states
- Draft proposed legislation
- Meet with significant stakeholders
- Introduce and participate in debate on legislation

## Recent Legislative Efforts in New Mexico 

- New Mexico Electronic Records Act
- For electronic health records – utilized approach and terminology adapted from Uniform Electronic Transactions Act
- For privacy – initially adopted approach of Minnesota, generally requiring consent of patient for disclosures, amended to conform to HIPAA
- Permitted disclosures to HIE record locator services and out-of-state providers
- Act passed House/died in Senate

**Notes:**
HB 37, 48th Legislature – State of New Mexico – Second Session 2008

Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, (1999), see <number>

Minnesota Health Records Act, MINN. STAT. ANN. Sections 144.291 to 144.298

## Recent Legislative Efforts in New Mexico 

- Autopsy:
- Short (30 day) session
- Medical community opposed as more restrictive than HIPAA
- After amended to conform to HIPAA, privacy advocates (primarily ACLU) opposed as not strong enough on privacy

## Recent Legislative Efforts in New Mexico 

- Autopsy:
- Some viewed as requiring move to electronic health records, opposed as too costly for rural providers
- May have been tainted by poor relationship between Legislature and Governor

## Recent Legislative Efforts in New Mexico 

- Recommendations:
- Time is a key factor – “short” sessions are difficult
- Identify Key Committees & Legislators
- Especially MDs and attorneys
- Keep things as simple as possible

**Notes:**
New Mexico MD/Senate Member:

“I never use medical records—they’re a waste of time.  We should carry our health records on a 3” by 5” card, as they do in Nepal.”

“Ninety-nine percent of the medical records you send to a physician are never read, they go to the record room , and they just take up space”

- Through support from this NSF MRI Award, *in-situ* deformation observations are being performed to identify the deformation evolution of metallic alloys and metal-matrix composites from surface observations.  Below is an image of the Ernest Fullam, Inc. tensile stage inside the Environmental SEM.  This stage can be tilted to acquire electron backscatter diffraction patterns while pulling a sample in tension.  It also can be used to heat a specimen to 1000C while deforming it.  Thus creep experiments have also been performed.  Investigations of Ti-6Al-4V-1B(wt.%) (see right-hand side images) are particularly noteworthy as we were able to characterize the RT tensile response of this material

- and in particular the surface deformation evolution.  This material exhibited TiB platelet (black) cracking prior to global yielding and after global yielding the TiB cracking became extensive and was followed by matrix plasticity including slip.

**The goal of this outreach program is to educate non-majors, high school students, and teachers about Materials Science and Engineering (MSE).  The program is based on Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) education and involves hands-on instruction in use of a SEM.**  **In its first two years, over 355 students have been taught by Alfred University volunteers, including faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students.  Some of the students then return to the program to perform a project for their high school science classes on samples they have prepared.  The Environmental SEM which was supported by this NSF MRI award has been used in this **

## Impact of AIRS Retrievals on Forecast Skill using the GEOS-5 DASOreste Reale, Bob Rosenberg, Eugenia Brin, Joe Terry, Juan Carlos Jusem, Joel Susskind, Max Suarez, Larry Takacs, Ricardo Todling, Lars Peter Riishojgaard

*Special Thanks*
- Michele Rienecker and the GMAO for providing the GEOS-5 DAS and the technical support needed to set up and run these experiments.
- AIRS team at JPL
- Joel Susskind and his group
- Genia Brin for her tireless work in setting and running the experiments

## The Experiment 

- Control assimilation is the GEOS-5 DAS Version beta7P2 at 1x1 degree resolution
- AIRS assimilation is the 1x1-deg. GEOS-5 DAS Version beta7P2 with AIRS retrievals inserted as rawinsonde temperature profiles at 100 levels
- Retrievals used for this experiment are produced by the Version 4.7 AIRS algorithm with latest quality control, thinned by removing every other point

**Notes:**
Find out what to say about error estimates, cloud clearing, quality control. 

## The Experiment

- Control assimilation started 12/15/2002 and run through 1/31/2003
- AIRS assimilation started 1/1/2003 and run through 1/31/2003
- Individual 5-day forecasts begun at 00Z each day starting 1/6/2003 and ending 1/31/2003.
- First 5 days in January discarded for spin-up, used 26 5-day forecasts.
- Both control and AIRS forecasts verified against the NCEP analysis

## GEOS-5 AIRS vs. Control 

## Individual Forecast Anomaly Correlations

## Case Selection

- Goal was to pick a forecast where the control did reasonably well and AIRS showed notable improvement
- Selected forecast from Jan. 25 (case 20)
- Looked in NH Extratropics for a link between the data and a synoptic event that was better forecast using AIRS data

**Notes:**
What is the formula for anomaly correlation?

## AIRS data over N. Pacific used by assimilation on  00 GMT Jan. 25, 2003

- (will show plot of global coverage of AIRS data on January 25, 2003)

## Hov. Z500 1/25-1/30 30-60N

**Notes:**
Shows how initial 500MB height anomaly in NE Pacific produces large difference by day 5 over eastern N. America, with wavenumber 2 response over Asia.  Will draw lines on plot to demonstrate this

## 500MB Height anomalies

**Notes:**
Top panel shows the AIRS minus CNTRL 500MB heights at day 5
Bottom panel shows NCEP analysis minus CNTRL 500MB heights at day 5

## 700MB Height anomalies

**Notes:**
Top panel shows the AIRS minus CNTRL 700MB heights at day 5
Bottom panel shows NCEP analysis minus CNTRL 700MB heights at day 5

## Summary

- AIRS retrievals produced meaningful improvement in GEOS5 skill over a sample of 26 5-day forecasts in Jan. 2003
- A case was selected where an improved representation of geopotential height over the northeastern Pacific leads to a better forecast of deep cyclones over Canada and the N Atlantic.

## Future Work

- We plan to evaluate all cases of meaningful impact, both positive and negative.
- We will document the impact and the manner of the dynamics related to that impact.
- We plan to re-run experiments using Version 5 retrievals with specified error estimates.

## AGENDA

- OVERVIEW
- CHANGES
- What Will Stay The Same?
- What Will Change?
- USERS
- Who Are They?
- What Will They Do?
- ACCESS
- How will SRAs & GTAs Use The System?

## OVERVIEW

- Percentiles in Use at NIH Since Early '80's.
- Currently, scores entered in IMPAC II must bridge to IMPAC I, where they must be "Released" for percentiles to be calculated.

## CHANGES

- What Will Stay The Same?
- Logic used in IMPAC I has been duplicated in IMPAC II
- What Will Change?
- Capability for controlling special rules will be in the hands of the IC super users instead of OER staff (i.e. Mark Siegert)
- what to %,
- what not to percentile,
- what to suppress)

## USERS

- Who are the Super Users?
- One super user (plus alternate) per IC
- What Will They Do?
- Use the following screens to define and refine rules for percentiling

## CURRENT BANNER SCREEN

## NEW BANNER SCREEN

## WHAT TASKS CAN BE CARRIED OUT ON THE BASE ADMINISTRATION SCREENS?

- Define the Percentile Base for chartered SRGs.
- Create the Percentile Base for an IC (to percentile SEPs)

## DEFINE SRG BASE TAB

## CREATE IC BASE TAB

## Slide 10

## WHAT TASKS CAN BE CARRIED OUT ON THE APPLICATION ADMINISTRATION SCREEN?

- This screen is used to:
- define the rules for which applications get percentiled,
- indicate if percentiles will be displayed,
- Indicate which meetings will use which base.

## RULES FOR % ASSIGNMENT, DISPLAY

## SRA/GTA USES

- For Chartered Groups:
- 	No Actions Required;
- 	Just release scores and percentiles will be calculated.
- For SEPs:
- 	Users will see the following screen when they release scores

## Slide 14

## This is the Warning message you will receive if you enter an invalid parent SRG or the Super User has NOT created the base.

## This is the Warning message you will receive if the SEP met before the parent SRG.  Choose

- 	CONTINUE to accept the base from the previous round, or
- 	CANCEL to wait until the parent SRG base is created.

## Slide 17

- Training
- 	- “SUPER USERS”– 2 PER IC, HANDS ON
- 	- SRAs, GTAs – WORKSHOP
- Scheduled Deployment - 8/17/01
- 	- % Calculation only in IMPAC II

## Discussion Goal

- Establish units of CO2 in various codes         (Atm, Ocn, Lnd, Flux Exchange, Radiation)

- 975 year model run with prescribed CO2 - stable
- 300 year model run with free co2 (land, ocean) - relatively big jump in atm co2 (on the order of 10 ppm) at start of run (approximately first 20 years) not understood – possibly due to units.

## Supercritical Fluid Assisted Particle Synthesis

- Antoinette Kretsch
- New Jersey Institute of Technology

## Supercritical Fluid Extraction

## Analysis Techniques

- Beckman Coulter N4 Plus: Submicron Particle Size Analyzer
- determines particle size by measuring the rate of change in laser light intensity scattered by particles as they diffuse through a fluid
- Leo 1530 VP: SEM Microscope
- Produces 3-D image magnified x100,000 by spraying specimen with fine metal coating and sending beam of electrons over the surface to be projected onto fluorescent screen** **
- SigmaScan: Systat software program
- Collects data such as diameter and area of nanoparticles using pictures taken by the SEM
- FTIR: Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
- Used to identify chemical bonds in various substances by interpreting the infrared absorption spectra

## Conclusions

- A smaller nozzle will yield smaller, less agglomerated particles
- A pressure closer to supercritical pressure (78 bar for CO2) will yield smaller particles, so 82 bar had smaller particles than 100 bar
- The higher ratio of acetone to DCM will yield smaller particles with a narrow size distribution although the particles will have a distorted shape

## Suggestions for Further Study

- Can a stronger pump be used for force the solution through tinier micronozzles (ex: 10 μm and 5 μm)?
- Is there a better way to increase yield of particles (particles stick to sides of, top of, and apparatus inside the collecting chamber and are hard to remove) and decrease amount lost to air?
- What would the results be if another supercritical fluid was used instead of CO2?
- Can the durability of the micronozzles be increased so they last more than one or two trials?
