## Crash Dynamics

- 4-99

## NEWTON’S LAW OF MOTION

**An object in motion remains in motion at the original speed until acted on by an outside force****..................**
**...****the steering wheel, instrument panel etc...**

## Crash Forces

_**Approximation**_** For Parents:                                        **
**	****Weight X Speed = **
**	****	****	****Restraining Force**

## Can You Hold Them?

## Frontal Crashes

## Three Collisions

## Three Collisions

## Frontal Crashes

## Lateral Crashes

## Rear-end  Crashes

## Rollover  Crashes

## To be ejected or not---YOU decide!

## Unrestrained Occupant Dangers!

## 5 Ways Restraints Prevent Injury:

** ****Prevents ejection**
** ****Contacts the strongest parts of the body**
** ****Spreads force over a wide area of the body**
** ****Helps the body to “ride down” the crash**
** ****Protects the head and spinal cord**

## Un-survivable Crashes

**Restraint systems are designed to protect from crash forces most likely to occur**
**Many factors determine injury outcome (size & weight and speed)**
**Seat belts and airbags or CSS =       Best chance of survival**

## Common Myths

**“****It is better to be thrown out.  The car might burn or I might drown.  I don’t want to be trapped by my seat belt.”**
**“****I can hold my baby in a crash.”**
**“****Restraints are uncomfortable for me and my child.”**

## Common Myths

**“****I am a good driver, so I won’t get into a crash.”**
**“****I’m only going down the street to the store.  I’ll never get hit there.  I always buckle up when I go on the highway.”**
**“****My baby fusses and cries in his car seat.”**
**“****My toddler climbs out of his car seat.”**

## XSuperNova / Acceleration Probe (SNAP)

**June 28, 2001**

**XSuperNova / Acceleration Probe (SNAP)**

**Propulsion**

## SNAP Propulsion System

**FUNTIONAL REQUIREMENTS**
- Provide capability for multiple burn, 136 m/s V
- Provide capability for 3-axis momentum unload
**KEY DESIGN DRIVERS**
- Initial payload mass = 1619 kg
- ACS momentum unload = 3.5 kg/yr for 5 yrs
- No S/C orientation constraints during orbit transfer thruster firings (e.g., instrument protected with covers)
- Contamination sensitive instrument & sensors
- S/C power constrained to “several hundred watts”

## SNAP Propulsion SystemDesign Trade

- “Low Power” EP Assumptions

**SNAP Propulsion System****Design Trade**

## SNAP Propulsion SystemDesign Trade Conclusions

**Baseline Design: “Blowdown” (unregulated pressure) N2H4 System with 4x22N canted thrusters & three **
**	****48.3 cm dia. propellant tanks **
- Merits: Simple manifold design, low contamination, relatively low component mass & orbital ave. power
- Negatives:  Low Isp (large tanks)
**Propulsion System Options to Reduce Volume**
- MMH/NTO, pressure-regulated bipropellant system option would reduce the propellant tank diameter to 35 cm (4 tanks) + a 20 cm dia. pressurant tank.
- Orbit transfer with single high DV burn would allow use of solid motor + small N2H4 system (ACS unload & small DV orbit adjust)
- 2 kW power system would be required to use EP thrusters (N2H4 arcjet, Xe Hall) – low thrust; long orbit transfer time.

## SNAP Propulsion System

- SNAP N2H4 PROPULSION SYSTEM

- _N2H4 Propulsion System Design_
-  N2H4 mass (10% contingency) = 130 kg
-  “Dry” mass (4 Tank Design) = 34.1 kg
-  Three 48.3 cm dia tanks with AFE-332
-   elastomer diaphragm
-  Primary & Redundant set of 22N
-   thrusters mounted on –X axis & canted
-   15o off X-axis
-  Orbit Ave Power (@25% D.C.) = 23 W
-  Catalyst Bed + Thruster Power (During Firing)
-   = 10.2 W per thruster

## Nasa Project.

## We are going to explain you some of the reasons why people can live in the moon. We will tell you what things the people can or have to eat, the constructions that can be made with the material that is in the moon, etc.

- Arie

- Mariana

- and our asistant Tania

- We are the group of  Miss Dheming of seventh grade.

## Where can we live in the moon?

- The craters are the best places to live because it is less probably that an asteroid crashes on the same place where the crater is.
- 	The best crater to live is call “Eros” because it is a big crater where easily you can build the “house” to live inside, it is like a big hole and also it is on the atmospheric territory.

## What materials in the moon are useful for constuctions?

**In the moon there is a strange material called “Regolito” that is useful to make a very hard type of metal, that is also not too heavy.**
**	****Also in space ships you can transport Titanium for the construction of the laboratory and the observatory**.

## The food

**The food is going to be canned because the tortillas and all that type of food would float. Also the food has to be like jelly.**
**	****All the food has to be in cans or in bottles because it is easier for the people to transport it and it is more secure because the tortillas and the bread can enter the system.**

## Transports

- To transport faster in the moon  we are going to use fast cars with 10 wheels so it can`t choke with the little craters or some obstacles in the moon, that cars are going to take things in the moon (interesting and strange things).

## Advantages and Disadvantages.

- The advantages of this moon station is that works with magnetic and solar energy, also that this station is more safety because is in a very secure crater.
- The disadvantages are that this station doesn’t have a place to leave the transports and is a very cold zone.

## Risk (and Benefit) Communication:Challenges and Resources

**Baruch Fischhoff**
**FDA **
**Risk Communication Advisory Committee**
**August 14, 2008**

## Context

- Under FDAAA (2007)
- 	permanent committee
- 	specific charges (recalls, DTC ...)
- 	general consultation resource
- Effectiveness will depend on
- 	our usefulness to staff
- 	strength of science that we bring
- 	resources committed to science

## Strong Citizen Support 

**for Trustworthy Communication**

- Provide Americans with honest, accurate information about the situation, even if the information worries people.
- (mean=3.6; 1=strongly disagree, 4=strongly agree)
- (National samples: Nov 2001; N=973; Nov-Dec 2002; N=591

## One Official Endorsement

**“****DHHS Communication Plan for First Case of H5N1 in US”**

- Keep the public fully informed -- tell what we know, tell what we don’t know, and tell it often...Maintain credibility and public trust, by providing accurate, science-based information.

## A Disclaimer

## Communication Leadership Requires

- Strategic processes, integrating 		communication with analysis and 	regulation
- Strategic staffing, with requisite 		expertise and coordination

## Slide 7

## Slide 8

## Strategic Staffing Requires

*Domain specialists,* for representing the 		science of the risks (and benefits)
*Risk and decision analysts*, for identifying 	the information critical to choices
*Behavioral scientists*, for designing and 		evaluating messages
*System specialists*, for creating and 		using communication channels

## Strategic Staffing Requires

*Domain specialists,* for representing the 		science of the risks (and benefits)
*Risk and decision analysts*, for identifying 	the information critical to choices
*Behavioral scientists*, for designing and 		evaluating messages
*System specialists*, for creating and 		using communication channels
**All working on their own tasks**

## So, No...

- Psychologists inventing medicine ...
- Physicians, pharmacologists ... pushing pet 	theories of citizen competence
- Public affairs staff spinning the facts
- Analysts independently defining value-laden 	terms (risk, benefit, equity...)

## Definitely Not

- Bio ... 0.101
- 	with “basic facts that everyone should know”
- “Messaging” sessions
- 	with “experts” determining content by fiat
- Guidance without supporting evidence
- 	“so people have a feeling of control”
- Universal guidance
- 	when values and circumstances vary
- Charisma per se

## Meeting Agenda

- FDA staff:
- 	programs and needs
- Non-persuasive communication:
- 	facilitating decision making
- Persuasive communication:
- 	motivating protective action
- Emergency communication:
- 	preparation and mobilization

## Processing Steps

## Processing Steps

## NMO Correction

- NMO corrects for the delay in first arrival times
- NMO shifts the arrival times according to a specific stacking velocity
- This is an important step in the velocity analysis

## Processing Steps

## Velocity Analysis

- A Constant Velocity Analysis was conducted on both deconvolved and non-deconvolved data
- The following NMO stacking  velocities were run for each situation:
- - 1000 m/s		-1200 m/s
- - 1400 m/s		-1600 m/s
- - 1800 m/s		-2000 m/s
- - 2200 m/s		-2400 m/s

## Conclusions

- Predictive deconvolution is an effective tool for eliminating multiples from seismic data
- A combination of the 2000 m/s and the 1600 m/s constant velocity models seems to produce a high resolution model
- This implies a higher average velocity medium on the east side of the fault, giving evidence that the normal La Bajada fault is being imaged

## And a Special Thanks To. . .

- The SAGE professors for their knowledge and patience
- Team 5 for their hard work and some good times
- Michelle Herrera, my Processing partner
- Lauren Larkin, who was more enthusiastic about splicing together my seismic sections than I was

## Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes (HAPO) Study

- What is HAPO?
- International, multicenter study examining the impact of mother’s glucose level on the growth and outcome of the baby
- Goal of the study is to ultimately determine what level of glucose during pregnancy should be treated
- ~25,000 women from 15 different centers and multiple race groups were recruited
- High quality phenotypic information related to fetal growth and maternal metabolism was collected using standardized and uniform protocols
- Bank of DNA from mothers and babies was established

## Why Study Women During Pregnancy?

- Diabetes occurs in 5-10% of women during pregnancy (gestational diabetes)
- Genes which increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes are largely the same GDM occurs secondary to -cell dysfunction in the face of insulin resistance
- Prevalence of gestational diabetes has increased in concert with that of type 2 DM
- Women with a history of gestational diabetes develop type 2 DM at a rate _>_ 5%/yr
- Family history of type 2 DM increases the risk of GDM

## NIH Gene-Environment Interaction – Genome Wide Association Initiative

- Perform whole genome association studies on ~3,000 HAPO mothers and their babies
- Caucasians, Blacks, Mexican-Americans
- Outcome of the study
- Identify genetic variation that impacts glucose levels and insulin secretion in mothers during pregnancy
- Identify genetic variation that impacts fetal growth and body composition

## Cosmic Ray background rejection

_**Requirements:**_
**Cosmic ray protons and helium**
**  ****-  their sum differential flux is up to 5 orders of magnitude higher than the high latitude diffuse gamma radiation at 30 GeV **
**cosmic ray electrons**
**  ****~1000 times more abundant **
- we need  3106 against protons and  3104 against electrons to have cleanest measurements

_**Rejection:**_
- calorimeter provides at least  103  rejection against protons and helium; ACD should recognize remaining 3 103
- calorimeter does not help much against electrons because their showers are identical to showers from gammas; ACD rejects 3000; remaining factor of 10 should come from the tracker
