## Statement on Concerta and Methylphenidate for the June 30, 2005Pediatric Advisory Committee

- The FDA has identified two possible safety concerns with the methylphenidate drug products: psychiatric adverse events and cardiovascular adverse events.

## Psychiatric Adverse Events

- Post-marketing reports received by FDA regarding Concerta and other methylphenidate products include psychiatric events such as visual hallucinations, suicidal ideation, psychotic behavior, as well as** **aggression or violent behavior.

## Psychiatric Adverse Events (cont.)

- We intend to make labeling changes describing these events. In addition, we believe it is critical to examine the other stimulant drug products approved for ADHD, specifically the amphetamine products, and atomoxetine (not a stimulant), to determine if they too are associated with these adverse events.
- We are currently examining the post-marketing reports for these products. We will bring to this committee a review of the amphetamine adverse events and, we hope, events associated with atomoxetine, in early 2006.

## Psychiatric Adverse Events

- Given that both methylphenidates and amphetamines are stimulants used in the treatment of ADHD, it is important we evaluate both stimulant classes in order to avoid potential switching from one class to the other based on incomplete safety assessments.

## Psychiatric Adverse Events (cont.)

- We are seeking your comments on this approach.
- Is there any information that we should provide the public while we are examining the post-marketing reports for the other stimulant products?

## Cardiovascular Adverse Events

- In August 2004, the FDA reviewed post-marketing cardiovascular adverse events for all stimulant medications and relabeled Adderall XR to carry a warning about sudden cardiovascular deaths, especially in children with underlying heart disease.

## Cardiovascular Adverse Events

- At this Pediatric Advisory Committee meeting, the FDA has presented post-marketing reports of adverse cardiovascular (CV) events with the use of Concerta.   Examples of these CV events include reports of hypertension, syncope, chest pain, prolonged QTc, arrhythmias, and tachycardia.

## Cardiovascular Adverse Events

- The agency believes that it is not yet possible to determine whether these events, especially the more serious ones, are causally associated with these treatments.  The FDA is pursuing additional means to better characterize the cardiovascular risks for all drug products approved for ADHD. Potential options under consideration include population-based pharmaco-epidemiologic studies, long term safety trials and other targeted CV risk studies.
- It is our proposal that the FDA obtain these additional data to help guide the development of any regulatory action regarding potential CV risks of drug products approved for ADHD.

## Cardiovascular Adverse Events

- We are seeking your comments on this approach.
- Is there any information that should be shared with the public while these studies are being conducted?

- Group responsible:
-  Univ. of Nijmegen, NL

## What is to be monitored:

-  _Instantaneous radiation levels:_
-      at millisecond time scales
-      at seconds time scale
-      at minutes time scale
-      at days/months/years time scale
-  _Sensitivity:_
-      rad/hour (long term)
-      rad/second (short term/bursts)

- DØ, PMG, August 17,2000
- H.Weerts

## Part I: a la CDF

- CDF already has a monitor and beam abort system:
-  Beam Loss Monitors (BLMs):
-      1 Atm. Ar filled glass/Al tubes
-           Current  Radiation / low sensitivity
-      TLDs infrequent access at long intervals
-           Used to gauge the BLMs a posteriori
- Will use same system in RUN II, but at larger z distance

- DØ, PMG, August 17,2000
- H.Weerts

## Part I: CDFDØ

- Part I: CDFDØ

- BLM proven to be reliable, Beams division trusts them                   ... use them also for DØ
- Bulky: use at large z distance, 4 on each side of DØ

- I.P.

- DØ, PMG, August 17,2000
- H.Weerts

## Part II: from OPAL

- All 4 LEP experiments have good radiation monitoring and beam abort systems, the OPAL system is used as inspiration for DØ.
- Principle: ~0.7x0.7 cm2 Si diode  current  radiation
- Two gain ranges (a la OPAL) to accommodate high sensitivity fast measurement and lower sensitivity long term integral measurement
- Maintain fast signals to the external electronics

- DØ, PMG, August 17,2000
- H.Weerts

## Location of the sensors in DØ:

                       F-disk                H-disk

- Location of the sensors in DØ:
-                        F-disk                H-disk

- 6 sensors at each location

- DØ, PMG, August 17,2000
- H.Weerts

## Si diodes sensor module prototype

- Correct dimensions for F-disk
- 2 layouts tested (one better than other: choice made)
- Design allows to cover with EM shielding foil

- DØ, PMG, August 17,2000
- H.Weerts

## Current status

| BLM system | Si diodes |
| --- | --- |
| Have BLM’s at FNAL | Have 48 with guard/ 48 without in NL |
| Install during shutdown in September | Some sensors to be shipped next week from NL |
| Cables on order;  arrive in next two weeks |   same |
| HV use DØ system | Needs to be understood |
| DAQ/readout through BD system & feedback to DØ for monitoring | Prototype readout exist in NL, not at FNAL yet. Shipped in coming weeks. |
| Mounts to be decided next week |   same |
| Ready for commissioning run | Install during shutdown;  readout may not be available at start ( outside hall) |

## Components and Reuse

- Tom Carlson
- National Center for State Courts

## The Problem

- The problem
- IEPDs were being developed from scratch, often in isolation
- Model gives loads of flexibility
- Similar concepts implemented in dissimilar ways
- Short example: PersonFullName versus PersonGivenName combined with PersonSurName
- Makes interoperability hard

## What We Did

- Developed a bunch of court IEPDs
- Looked for commonalities
- For example, most included:
- People of some sort
- A court of some sort
- Built court components using those commonalities

## What It Looks Like

- Data Modeler Domain Model Thingie

## What It Looks Like

- Data Modeler Domain Model Thingie

## Limitations

- Locked in a proprietary tool
- It’s a nice tool, but it’s proprietary
- No mechanism for sharing these components, outside of the proprietary tool
- No mechanism for using components built by others in other ways

## Why It Doesn’t Matter

- Moving to a Service Oriented Architecture resolves the problem
- Exchange-based IEPDs will become Service-based IEPDs
- Those services will be composed of micro-services
- Composability is a principle of SOA
- Think fractals
- Those micro-services become the components
- The process of defining these services creates the components too! Sweet!

## What We All NeedTo Do Instead

- What We All NeedTo Do Instead

- Stop defining IEPDs in terms of exchanges
- Services based on “as is” exchanges result in services that codify “as is” processes
- Need to be able to create “to be” processes from the services
- Think of a code library
- If based on legacy code...
- ...then will only be good for coding legacy apps

## What We All NeedTo Do Instead

- What We All NeedTo Do Instead

- Start doing Functional Decompositions of the Business
- What is it that we really do
- From that decomposition, we can determine the services available
- Then we can create new business processes from these services
- This **could** be done with JIEM, with some significant changes
- We will need the Justice Reference Architecture (JRA) in order for this to happen

## PST Analysis Tasks Ahead

- Finish running load cases not yet analyzed (single sided deflections)
- Generate required displacement allowances (based on resolution concerns)
- Integrate PST model into Joel Cugoni’s SCT model in order to calculate more realistic coupling (and displacements)
- Add models of mounts (or at least stiffnesses) to the PST/SCT combined model, iterate with Eric to develop mount designs
- Calculate final forces and displacements including SCT compliance, mount compliance, and final material selection for PST
- Compare to agreed, well defined, allowable forces and displacements in SCT structure

## What are they and what they do

**What are they and what they do**

## According to information available from UNL, development of resistant varieties include several steps.

**Identify the sources of resistance**** **
**Identify the resistance mechanisms**** **
**Incorporate the resistance characters into economically acceptable varieties**** **
**Analyze the resistance traits**** **
**Identify the bases of resistance, both chemical and physical**

**According to information available from UNL, development of resistant varieties include several steps.**

## Important points about resistant varieties

**Crops can repel tolerate the insect pest**

**Important points about resistant varieties**

**Reduction of susceptibility of crops provides solid approach to  insect pest management:**
**Effective**
**Economical **
**Environmentally sound**

## Growers can sometimes reduce the crop susceptibility by altering the crop environment

**For instance, growers can aid crop vigor by timely watering and fertilizer**
**In some cases, plants with high vigor are not as attractive to insect pests as those under stress, or the vigorous crop can compensate for insect damage with no significant yield loss. **

## Planting resistant crop varieties is another common and effective approach to reducing crop susceptibility to insect pests. 

**These crops either inhibit the survival or reproduction of the insect pest (antibiosis), or are tolerant to the insects feeding and damage (tolerance), resulting in no economic yield loss. **
**Resistant varieties often eliminate the need for pesticide treatments or other management tactics related to a target pest. **

## Combining strategies

**Combining pest management strategies improves a grower’s ability to manage crops.**
**See the **_[Virtual Field Manual](http://screc.unl.edu/IPMManual/index.htm)__  or the __[High Plains IPM Guide](http://www.highplainsipm.org/)__ for up-to-date pest management information._

## Conclusions

** ****Multi-decadal variability in Atlantic basin sea surface temperatures and sea level pressures exists and is likely driven by changes in strength of the Atlantic thermohaline circulation**
** ****Atlantic basin tropical cyclone activity (and especially major hurricane activity) is much more frequent during strong THC years**
** ****Florida peninsula and East Coast landfalls are dramatically altered by THC phase changes**

## Parallel I/O

**Storage Efficient Access Team**

## Application I/O

**Applications have data models appropriate to domain**
**Multidimensional typed arrays, images composed of scan lines, variable length records**
**Headers, attributes on data**
**I/O system as a whole must:**
**Provide mapping of application data into storage abstractions**
**Coordinate access by many processes**
**Organize I/O devices into a single space**
**And also**
**Insulate applications from I/O system changes**
**Maintain performance!**

**Notes:**
Q: maybe show data from multiple processes with ghost cells, rather than just one, all going into a single file on disk?  That’s more like the original graphic.

## I/O for Computational Science

**Applications require more software than just a parallel file system**
**Break up support into multiple layers with distinct roles:**
**Parallel file system**** maintains logical space, provides efficient access to data (e.g. ****PVFS****, GPFS, ****Lustre****)**
**Middleware layer**** deals with organizing access by many processes****(e.g. ****MPI-IO (ROMIO)****, UPC-IO)**
**High level I/O library**** maps app. abstractions to a structured,****portable**** ****file**** ****format (e.g. HDF5, ****Parallel netCDF****)**

## Other Talks

**LBNL - Storage Resource Managers and MPI-IO**
**NWU - High-Performance Parallel I/O Libraries**
**ORNL - Efficiency of Parallel I/O Software**
**PNNL - Active Storage in Parallel File Systems **

## In the Coming Year...

**MPI-IO and Extended Attributes (EAs)**
**EAs are a relatively new feature of file systems that allow additional information to be associated with a file or directory**
**We will explore using EAs to store information useful to MPI-IO and also for enabling access to EAs through extensions to the MPI-IO interface**

## In the Coming Year...

**Data Models and I/O Interfaces**
**A gap still exists between high-level I/O library capabilities and APIs and the data models of simulation codes**
**We will work with application teams to understand their data models and how those could be stored in existing data formats**
**We will develop a “bridge” API for storing these data models in existing HLL formats**
**Later we will investigate formats more amenable to performance...**

## In the Coming Year...

**Benchmarking and performance analysis**
**Benchmarking of parallel I/O systems is complex, and different facets of performance can be important depending on the characteristics of the applications using the system**
**We will continue to evaluate existing tools for appropriateness and to fill in gaps where necessary to enable appropriate analysis**
**Instrumentation of I/O software components may play an important role in better understanding I/O behavior**

## Solar Array

- In the Solar Array experiment, sunlight was collected and converted into electrical power.   Two factors that effected the amount of sunlight collected were the payload’s view of the sun and the  atmospheric pressure.
- When considering the factors that effected the data, we concluded that the energy collected would have been more because the atmosphere thinned if the sun angle had not changed in respect to the payload.
-                                                                                   solar array

## Sky Diode

- The Sky Diode experiment measured the brightness of the sky.  As the balloon rose, the data readings initially decreased indicating that the sky got darker. However, as the balloon began to expand,  the readings started to increase until the balloon popped. Once the balloon popped the readings dropped considerably.  The readings then increased as the payload dropped to the ground.
- In conclusion, we propose that the balloon blocked the diode’s field of vision. Therefore, the most accurate data was taken as the payload started to rise.

## Columbia University MRSEC Irving P. Herman DMR-0213574 Research and Rolling Exhibits (RARE), a Partnership with the New York Hall of Science

- The National Science Foundation grant awarded through the Internships in Public Science Education (IPSE) program in September 2005, calls for the MRSEC and the New York Hall of Science to develop five materials science and nanotechnology rolling exhibits over the next three years.  The project will unite high school teachers who have worked in materials science research laboratories, research faculty, graduate students and museum staff in developing rolling exhibits that will engage students, teachers and the general public.  While using these hands-on, attractive and stimulating exhibits, the public will learn about current science and research.
- The prototype cart proposed for Year 1 will be a Sand Tank that will illustrate the basic principles of pollution and remediation with the use of materials science.  (These Sand Tanks were used earlier by the Columbia Environmental Molecular Sciences Institute (EMSI) in outreach efforts.) The modules are flexible enough that they can be adapted to teaching a wide range of individuals, from young children to adults.
- A kick-off meeting was held at the New York Hall of Science on January 21, 2006.  At this meeting, Herrera, Dubner, a high school teacher who formerly did research in a MRSEC lab and museum staff discussed the development of the first discovery cart. A cadre of museum staff members called “Explainers,” will be trained at the initiation of the project. Museum “explainers” interact with and instruct more than 300,000 annual visitors to the Hall of Science.
- The first cart, the Sand Tank, is projected to be available to the public in the spring 2006.  The four remaining discovery carts are projected to follow in early 2007 and early 2008

- Sand Tank prototype

- For more information, please contact Justine Herrera.

- The Columbia University MRSEC and Jay Dubner** **(leader of our partner program in which high school teachers do research) began a partnership with the New York Hall of Science, a hands-on science and technology center in Queens, to develop carts with hands-on experiments at this museum.

## Richard Thorne / UCLAPhysical Processes Responsible for Relativistic Electron Variability in the Outer Radiation Zone over the Solar Cycle

- 1 Outline
- 2 Local loss introduction
- 3 Local acceleration introduction
- 4 Radial diffusion simulations
- 5 Explanation for slide 4
- 6 Local acceleration simulations
- 7 Explanation for slide 6
- 8 Future work

## Dominant loss mechanismsand timescales

- (Yellow) Plasmaspheric Hiss loss time on the scale of 5-10 days
- (Blue) Chorus waves outside plasmapause provide fast losses on the scale of 0.5-1 day
- (Red) EMIC waves mostly in plumes on the dusk side very fast localized losses  on the scale of 1 hour
- 4) (Curved line) Combined effect of losses to magnetopause and outward radial diffusion on the scale of 1 hour at L>4

## Dominant acceleration mechanisms

- Inward radial diffusion driven by ULF waves very strong for higher L values.
- 2) Local acceleration due to energy diffusion driven by the chorus waves outside plasmapause. Will be especially effective when pe/e is small just outside plasmapause.

## Radial Diffusion Simulations comparison with observations.

- Comparison between 0.95 MeV electron fluxes (log cm-2 sr-1 s-1 MeV-1) computed by the radial diffusion model with empirical lifetimes (top), and electron flux measurements on CRESS (middle). The bottom panel shows the evolution of the Kp index used for calculation of the DLL and . [Shprits et al., 2005]

## Explanation for the Radial diffusion simulations

- Comparison of the radial diffusion simulations with observations show that radial diffusion can effectively redistribute radiation belt fluxes and can reproduce the inner boundary of the radiation belt fluxes and the location of the peak of fluxes.
- Future improvement of the model should include local acceleration and loss and variable outer boundary conditions.

## Evolution of phase space density obtained with the 2-D pitch-angle and energy diffusion code at L=3 during Halloween solar storms.

- [Shprits et al., 2005]

## Explanation for the 2-D local acceleration simulations. 

- Simulations of the local acceleration and loss during the unprecedented Halloween supper storms show that the unusual behavior of the radiation belts and formation of the new radiation belt at L<3 (region usually devoid of high energy electrons) is due to the local acceleration driven by chorus waves.
- ~100 keV electrons were accelerated locally to relativistic energies on the time scale of few hours, followed by a slow build up of fluxes.
- Inclusion of local acceleration and loss is crucial for radiation belt modeling.

## Future directions of the radiation belt research

-  Combine radial diffusion and  local 	acceleration and loss into a 3D 	radiation belt code.
-  Use data assimilation tools to correct 	imperfect models and compensate for 	missing physics.
-  Couple radiation belt code with MHD and 	ring current models.

## Pixel 3rd Hit

- September 22, 2003

## Numerology

- 3rd hit is about 50% increase

## Current ATLAS Planning

- The current ATLAS plan is to install services for a 3-hit system.
- This includes services internal to the pixel volume that are largely a US deliverable (although US baseline is 2-hits)
- The 3rd hit would be installed in a long shutdown sometime after the pilot run.
- Obviously this requires procurement of additional parts, assembly and testing of parts, etc
- Requires 4-6 months to remove, disassemble, reassemble and reinstall
- The hope in Italy, France and Germany is to appeal for funds for 3rd hit in summer 2004 once 2-hit system is well launched, with expectation of funds mostly in 2005 to complete 3-hit system
- ATLAS management desires US not to make decisions that prevent 3rd hit, in particular to meet responsibilities for services

## Internal Services are Complex

## Decision Dates

- To avoid a gap in production
- To follow the ATLAS plan to install all services for 3-hits requires FY04 funding – partly Research Program upgrade funding?
- As would buying parts etc to avoid a gap in production flow.
- Delaying 3rd hit parts, materials procurement, restarting assembly lines and so forth can be done but total cost will increase

## Comments

- Alternative plan would be to not install the pixel system for the pilot run but for 1st physics run ie about 6 months later
- In this case it’s just plausible to complete 3-hit system in time(with funding in FY04 and FY05 of course) assuming current LHC schedule.
- Or assume LHC schedule slides and finish 3rd hit before first run.
- The 3rd pixel hit is the only possible tracking upgrade that can occur before 201?
- The need is particularly compelling if one believes the performance of the TRT will not meet specs at design luminosity.
- Need to understand how to handle 3rd hit for ETC04 update within next month.

## Pelletron HV stability(status)

- Recycler Meeting
- March 19, 2008
- A. Shemyakin

## Problem description

- Sometimes, the Pelletron voltage starts to oscillate
- Also, the average level of the HV noise seems to be higher

- 20-hrs plot of HV as read by R: GVMVLT
- Data from D44, 11:00 9-Mar-08 to 7:00 10-Mar-08

- Good

- Present norm

- Bad

## Impact on operation

- 1-hr RMS of R:GVMVLT (1 Hz data from D44).
- 20 hours starting 11AM: 9-Mar-08 – left plot, 16-Mar-08 – right plot
- “Bad”/”Good” ~ 2
- Number from the “good” past: 0.25 kV
- Operational impact at present level
- Seems to be negligible when as on the right plot
- Could be noticeable if “bad” time happens during the shot
- Bad if the energy calibration is done in the time of a strong voltage deviation

## Possible culprits

- Greg and Howie has shown that the problem starts with GVM reporting a non-existing HV perturbation

- Location of the culprit

- Corona current follows the GVM signal; therefore, the reason for the erroneous signal could be
- Mechanical problem with the Generation VoltMeter (GVM)
- First stage of the GVM preamplifier
- Electron flow to GVM plates (corona from the terminal)

## Investigation: corona (#3)

- Comparison of 1-hr RMS of R:GVMVLT at 4.33 MV (16-Mar-08, curve 1) and 3.0 MV (18-Mar-08, point 2)
- Decrease of the voltage should dramatically decrease the level of corona currents
- No significant difference in the noise level
- In both cases, the software loop was off

- electrons

- 1

- 2

## Investigation: GVM preamplifier (#2)

- Options to address the issue (Greg and Kermit):
- Replace the chip with another (better) one
- Tap to the GVM signal
- 2-3 hrs MI-31 access
- In parallel, Greg prepares a new box that will include CPO into the regulation circuitry in addition to the GVM with a crossover frequency around 0.3 Hz
- Should significantly suppress HV jumps in ~1 Hz range if they are really coming from the GVM

## Plan for the GVM

- Kermit reports that the GVM noise has changed in the recent months
- Change in the rotation frequency may change the readback
- A predictable way to repair GVM is to replace the entire assembly
- Would be assembled and tuned at NEC
- Replacement can be done in a shift or so
- Kermit and Ron have put a PO
- ~12 k$
- Because of a large sum and furloughs, it still has not been placed
- Delivery time is between 6 weeks and 4 months from placing the order
- Emergency plan: replace moving parts
- Not obvious that disassembling and reassembling can be done without a damage  and changing the balance
- Kermit has all parts

## Summary

- The Pelletron HV is somewhat unstable
- Most of the time, it doesn’t create noticeable impact on operation
- However, common sense tells that once started, the problem will become worse
- Incorrect reporting by GVM is the most likely reason
- So far, we can’t ruled out any of 3 possible explanations:
- GVM mechanics, electronics, corona
- Plan to test electronics this week if there is an opportunity
- PO goes through administration
- An emergency plan is ready
- Not working readbacks complicate analysis
- Replacement parts are on site (Kermit)
