## Medical Cost Control

- Job Corps PRH Change Notice No. 05-12
- Region 2 PRH Supplement No. 1.2R6

## PRH Change Notice No. 05-12

- Abolish Major Medical Reimbursement Policy
- Clarify Procedures for Addressing Health and Medical Costs Exceeding Basic Health Services

## Previously

- Medical Separation—
- If pre-existing or acquired health condition interferes with or precludes further JC training
- Is complicated to manage
- Unusually costly—over $3000 to RO, over $25000 to National

## Major Medical Reimbursement Study

- Reviewed past 3 years MMR
- Some regions had no major medicals
- Some were requesting major medical funding for incidents where student should have been medically separated and/or referred to OWCP

## Region 2 PRH Supplement No.1.2R6

- New procedures for review of applicants
- History Court Involvement
- Behavior Problems
- Mental or Physical Disability
- Extensive Medical Care
- Readmission
- As a result of changes to PRH

## AC Determines Applicant Potential for Successful Completion of JC

- Informed judgment based on:
- Assessment of applicant material
- Personal observation
- Record on ACAT
- If applicant’s needs can best be met by another program—stop interview and refer to another local resource

## Upon completion of applicant interview

- Positive recommendation for enrollment
- Assign to center
- If applicant will require frequent medical services and has Medicaid, do not assign out of state if trade request can be granted in state of residence.
- If applicant has 3rd party payer, may be assigned out of state.

## Upon completion of applicant interview

- Negative recommendation for enrollment by AC—
- Written notification of denial to applicant
- Provide referral to appropriate resource
- Inform applicant of appeal process

## Center Review

- If center recommends denial of applicant:
- Forward to Regional Office
- Annotate status in OASIS/CIS
- If center receives a file that requires _**frequent medical care**_ and is a resident of another state, the file should immediately be returned to the AC for instate assignment if requested trade is available in state of residence
- Maintain Chain of Custody Log

## Center Procedures

- Center may not deny admission
- Return to AC
- For in-state placement If applicant requires extensive medical care to ensure continuity of care for the applicant.
- Note:  If trade requested is not available in the applicants state of residence, continue with the accommodations process.
-     All accommodations and medical service provision should be in place before the applicant is provided with an arrival date.
- Refer to the regional office
- 	After additional information is obtained through communication  with AC, applicant or his/her provider
- Refer to the regional office If denial recommended.

**LSST:  Preparing for the Data Avalanche through Partitioning, Parallelization, and Provenance**(poster P2, room 1307)  by Kirk Borne

- LSST = Large Synoptic Survey Telescope:
- A ten-year movie of the night sky, which generates 100,000 alerts each night – *anything that goes bump in the night! *
***Cosmic Cinematography!  =  The New Sky***
- How do you process, archive, catalog, and distribute a 65-_Peta_byte image archive and a 70-_Peta_byte database catalog?  ...  come to the poster #P2 to find out.
- Features of LSST data management system:
**Sky Partitioning** of the data speeds ingest and retrieval.
**Data Parallelization** speeds pipeline processing.
**Data Provenance**:
- Reduces archive storage requirements
- Tracks every configuration change and state of the system
- Allows data product generation on-the-fly (= VIRTUAL DATA)

## LSST Data Challenges

**LSST Data Challenges**

***Camera Specs:***   201 CCDs @ 4096x4096 pixels _each_!= 3 gigapixels = 6 GB per image, covering 10 sq.degrees = ~3000 times the area of one Hubble Telescope image

***Observing Strategy:***   One pair of images every 40 seconds for each spot on the sky,
- then continue across the sky continuously every night for 10 years (2014-2024), with time domain sampling in log(time) intervals (to capture dynamic range of transients).

- 3-Gigapixel camera is largest ever used
- Obtain one sky image every 15 seconds
- Process image in 5 seconds
- Obtain & process a second co-located image for science validation (within 15 + 5 seconds)
- Process the 100 million sources in each image, catalog all sources, and generate worldwide alerts within 60 seconds  (e.g., incoming killer asteroid)
- Generate 100,000 alerts per night
- Obtain 2000 images per night
- Produce 30 Terabytes per night
- Move the data from South America to SDSC daily
- Repeat this every day for 10 years (2014-2024)
- Provide rapid DB access to worldwide community:
- 65-Petabyte image archive
- 70-Petabyte database catalog

## Recognizing Exotic Diseases of Citrus

**Recognizing Exotic Diseases of Citrus**

**Citrus leprosis is caused by a virus spread by *****Brevipalpus sp***** mites.**
**Control of mite vectors and trimming of infected branches account**
**for 25% of the cost of citrus production in Brazil; left untreated the**
**disease will kill a tree in 3 years.**

**CITRUS LEPROSIS**

***Brevipalpus***** mites on**
**a citrus leaf**

**Lesions occur on twigs, leaves, and fruit.  Leprosis-affected fruit falls early**

**CITRUS VARIEGATED CHLOROSIS (CVC)**
- caused by *Xylella fastidiosa*

**Sharpshooter insects spread the disease.**

**Infected trees are chlorotic and become stunted and decline.  Leaves have interveinal chlorosis with gum deposits on the underside**.

**(*****Xanthomonas axonopodis***** pv *****citri)***
**Affects limes, grapefruit, and trifoliates most severely.  Causes lesions on leaves, twigs, and fruit, causing fruit drop.  Spread by rain-driven wind and infested equipment.  A quarantine disease present in Florida.**

- Phone 951 827 4399

**HUANGLONGBING (Citrus Greening)**
- present in Florida

- The disease begins with chlorotic sectoring
- in the tree branches; thus the name:
- Huanglongbing (yellow shoot).

- Fruit remains green on the basal end, seed
- is aborted in affected fruit, and the fruit may
- be lopsided.

- The disease is spread by psyllids; heavy infestations with nymphs result in an obvious waxy excrement.

- Fruit from infected trees drops early and has a bitter taste.  The leaves have a blotchy mottle, often with a yellow mid-ribs.

## Timmy the Twister

*A Tool for Increasing Awareness of Severe Weather Threats!*

- National Weather Service
-   Memphis

## Why the Need for a Severe Weather Character!

- Nearly 40% of all Tornado Deaths Occur in Mobile Homes.
- The Southeast is perhaps the riskiest location in the country for tornadoes
- Dixie Alley!

**Average Killed and Injured due to Tornadoes each year!**

## The Inspiration – Fire Prevention

- In 1937 President Roosevelt kicked off a national campaign featuring Uncle Sam as a forest ranger. “Your Forests – Your Fault – Your Loss” was a powerful message for the public.

## Smokey BearAn American Icon!

- The Forest Service chose the name to be Smokey Bear, after “Smokey” Joe Martin, who had been the Assistant Chief of the New York City Fire Department. On August 9, 1944, the first poster of Smokey Bear was produced.

**Stamp for Smokey’s 40****th**** birthday!**

## Creating The Image for Awareness!

**Creating The Image for Awareness!**

- Life-like image
- The character immediately directs attention to the subject.

## The Application

**Community Signs**

## The Application

- Community Signs!
- Hazardous Weather Outlook

- THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF EAST ARKANSAS... THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL...NORTH MISSISSIPPI...AND WEST TENNESSEE.
- .DAY ONE...A STRONG COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO CROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING.  THE MID SOUTH IS UNDER A HIGH RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM 2 PM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH 8 PM TONIGHT.  LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE.
- .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY THERE IS NO SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED.
- .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS LIKELY AFTER 2 PM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH 8 PM TONIGHT.

## Daily Severe Weather Awareness

- Pontotoc, Mississippi – At City Hall on Main Street!
- Devastating Tornado F3 on February 24, 2001
- 40 community Shelters and 400 individual Shelters

## Impact of the Message

- Small Town – Word of Mouth
- According to the Mayor of Pontotoc, Bill Rutledge “if we had any doubt about people noticing the sign we sure found out when the high risk for severe weather was posted...the public response was tremendous”.
- Also Added Ecru, Mississippi and Adding Caruthersville, Missouri

## Other Applications

- Children’s Material
- Targeted Pamplets/Brochures
- A Face to Our Message - Internet

## Conclusion

- Create Character that has Name Brand Recognition
- Create methods to display easily that reach a lot of people
- Teach Children

## Tau Thumbnail and TMBTree

-  Thanks to Eric Thomas for coding TMBTree!!
-  Testing:
-  what one likes to do:
-  compare TMBTree entries from unpacked thumbnail with recoA root_tuples on event by event basis
-  what I faced:
-  root problems
-  my own stupidity
-  what one gets
-  comparison of inclusive distributions

## Inclusive distributions

-  look reasonable
-  need more bits for RMS, profile, etc.

- Float_t: not exact match, but close

- Int_t: almost exact match. Few wrong matches under investigation

- Histogram: recoA    Crosses: TMBTree

## Plans

-  Get event-by-event comparison working
-  now have Greg’s code as a guide
-  Allocate more bits to some variables
-  having 8 bits for RMS and profile does not compromise physics performance, but makes distributions ugly
-  There will be a few more variables in Tau for p13...

## Abbreviated Donor History Questionnaire 

_**The Problem**_
**Previous version of aDHQ contained one medical history capture question.  Question, however, when administered to four test subjects in one-on-one cognitive interviews to determine adequacy as a substitute for the specific medical questions failed to identify a “significant medical event” in one individual.**

## Abbreviated Donor History  Questionnaire – Continued 

_**The Solution**_
**The medical history capture question was split into two separate questions.**

## Abbreviated Donor History  Questionnaire – Continued 

_**The Issue**_
**A study is proposed to “test how well the two capture questions identify relevant donor eligibility information in repeat donors.”  Is the design appropriate to answer the question?**

**Abbreviated Donor History****  Questionnaire – *****Continued ***

## What Does Proposed Protocol Hope to Accomplish? 

**  ****Not an epidemiology study.**
**  ****Study discordances between two**
**    ****instruments: capture questions vs. 17**
**    ****medical condition questions.**
**  ****Reflux discordant donors to cognitive**
**   ****interviews to understand why differences**
**    ****exist.**
**  ****Emphasis for evaluation is on cognitive**
**    ****interviews.**

## Expectations

**  ****Study not designed to provide evidence of **
**   ****comparability.**
**  ****Discrepancies between aDHQ and full DHQ**
**   ****will be found.  Predict 17 questions will pick**
**   ****up more positive reports.**
**  ****Findings will lead to another cycle of a DHQ**
**    ****revisions?**

**Expectations**

## Expectations - Continued 

**  ****The degree of discordances will be on the**
**   ****order of less than 0.5% indicating a**
**   ****concordance of at least 99.5%**
**  ****Sample size requirement to demonstrate**
**    ****statistical discrepancy between DHQ and**
**    ****aDHQ is on order of 6,000.**
**  **

**Expectations - *****Continued***** **

## Conclusion 

**The aDHQ contains two general capture questions relating to time since last donation.  The DHQ instrument contains questions that have specific time periods (past 12 months, ever  and current).  With these differences it is difficult to design a study to demonstrate equivalency, or lack of equivalency of the two history forms.**

- Hot plasma assumed to fill the loop uniformly

## Obtaining Model Parameters

- Loop size from images:
- 		Radius of loop: 17"
-                 Diameter of magnetic tube: 4" 			                                  		Loop rotated: 53o

- Thermal plasma parameters:
- 		Emission measure:  2.4 × 1048 cm-3
- 		Temperature: 15 MK
- 		Density: 1.4 × 1011 cm-3

- Thick-target bremsstrahlung emission fit

- -4

- -4.7

## Conclusions

- Transport model can roughly simulate the flare images
- Thick-target photon spectrum agrees with the footpoint spectrum
- Thin-target photon spectrum predicts softer spectrum than the actual looptop spectrum
- Other looptop models may encounter the same difficulties
- Do we need a model with acceleration within flare loop?

## Current and Future Work

- Working on more limb flares
- Extending the model to study non-limb flares
- Try other looptop models

## A Heavyweight Lightweight Material:

- In ***Advanced Materials*** **19**, 661 (2007) we report on CNT aerogels produced by freeze- and critical-point-drying liquid suspensions filled with carbon nanotubes. Pure aerogels produced in this way are fragile, but when reinforced with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), the material is rendered stronger and more stable. The aerogels exhibit large, electrical conductivities, that can be manipulated *in-situ*, and the possibility of backfilling the aerogels with polymers and other materials provides a new basis for creation of novel composite materials based on CNTs.

- Images of Aerogels. a) Macroscopic pieces of CNT aerogels. Pristine carbon nanotube aerogel (left) appears black, while the aerogel reinforced in a 1 wt% PVA bath (right) is slightly gray. b) Three PVA-reinforced aerogel pillars supporting ~8000 times their weight. c) Scanning electron microscope image of an aerogel reveals an open, porous structure. d) Transmission electron microscope of the same aerogel reveals small-diameter CNTs arranged in a classic filamentous network.

_**Societal Impact:**_ My research focuses on fundamental and applied questions in soft condensed matter.  If successful, new information based on this research will impact our ability to manipulate particles (e.g. micro- and nano-particles, carbon nanotubes) and macromolecules in solution.  This new control, in turn, interfaces with a variety of industrial problems ranging from the formulation of paints, cosmetics and food-stuff to photonics.  Thus this research holds potential to positively impact the US technology infrastructure and economy.  For example, the Intellectual property generated from our research on single-wall carbon nanotubes has already led to the formation of a start-up company based in Philadelphia (*NanoSelect Inc.*), and our research has recently attracted a broad collaboration with a nearby company, Rhodia, Inc.

- For smaller companies or SBIR start-ups
- Early planning... Pre-Phase I  issues
- Phase I goals
- Pre-Phase II issues
- Phase II goals
- Phase III options and trade-offs

##                          SBIR Phases

-      Phases represent a continuum of effort
-      Phases are not necessarily serial
-      Do a business plan sketch before writing       	the Phase I proposal

##    Pre-Phase I Issues:  Part  I

-      Are you really dealing with an SBIR 		project ?
-      Is the proposed technology patentable ?
-      Is it already patented ??
-      Is the proposed technology marketable ?
-      How large is the market ?
-      What are the market barriers ?

## Pre-Phase I Issues:  Part  II

-      What are the experimental questions ?
-      How can you carry the program out ?
-      What is your Phase II plan ?  Phase III ?
-      What will you do between Phases ?
-      How will you fund it ?

## Pre-Phase I Issues:  Part  IV

-      Think hard about the go/no go decision

##                       Phase I Goals

-      proof-of-principle......not sufficient for 	the business end !
-      Working prototype (s!)
-      Secured collaborations.
-      Plan for proceeding.

##            Pre-Phase II Issues

-      Patent filing ?
