## GRB Engine:  Rotating BH+massive AD

- Compact Stellar Mergers

- Fast-Rotating Massive
- Stellar Collapses

## Compact Stellar Mergers

- Strong GW Sources
- Inspiral, Merging and Ring-down Phases

- Fast-Rotating Massive Stellar Collapses
- Possibly Strong GW Sources
- Bar and Fragmentation Instabilities

## GRB Jet

- (1) GRB progenitors are stronger GW sources
-        than the average nonbursting mergers or collapsars
- (2) GRB luminosity and GW polarization

- Linear Polarization Degree

- Recent GRB observations
- GRB luminosity is determined by
- the jet opening angle or the viewing angle

## 1% polarization : 

- Polarization Measurement

- Interferometer 1

- Interferometer 2

- (1) two interferometers (rotated by           )
- (2) optimal case: wave forms                  are known
- (3) For simplicity, GW source is in the direction
-      of z-axis. (GRB, afterglow: sky position)

- output

- Liner Polarization Degree

- 1% polarization :

-  are NOT observable, so that

- Interferometer identical to LIGO ( rotated by        )

- If some fraction of GRB progenitors are DNSs...

- Viewing angle    : larger by a factor
- In an optimal case               ,  we can determine
-                                  1% polarization degree up 7 Mpc.

- 1000 GRBs/year/(3000Mpc)
- the closest event in a year  d=30Mpc
- sky position random: correction
- measure 1% Polarization in a timescale of 1yr:

- 3

## Summary

- Correlation among  Luminosity of GRB,
- the amplitude as well as the polarization of GW
- is expected.

- Brigher GRB: stronger circular polarized GW

- LIGO-like interferometer
- Optimal case:  1% polarization in GW from  DNS at 7Mpc

- To detect 1% polarization in yr timescale

- METS Application Profiles

- Morgan Cundiff
- Network Development and MARC Standards Office
- Library of Congress

- What is a METS Application Profile?

- “METS Profiles are intended to describe a class of METS documents in sufficient detail to provide both document authors and programmers the guidance they require to create and process METS documents conforming with a particular profile.”
- A profile is expressed as an XML document. There is a schema for this purpose.

- What is a “class of documents”?

- An open question
- At LC we are making a one-to-one relationship between a document class, or “object type” and a typical library item, e.g. a book, a photograph, a compact disc, etc.

- How does one get started with Profiles?

- Download the documentation
- Download the XML Schema for Profiles
- Download the example Profile document

- http://www.loc.gov/mets

- How will Profiles be made available?

- A registry of METS profiles will be maintained on the METS website. All profiles can be freely downloaded.

- How does one register a Profile?

- Send the profile document via email to metsprofile@loc.gov
- The METS Editorial Board will review the profile, perhaps suggest changes, etc
- Upon completion of review it will be added to the METS website registry.

- What are the 13 components of a Profile?

- Unique URI
- Short Title
- Abstract
- Date and time of creation
- Contact Information
- Related profiles

- What are the 13 components? (cont’d)

- Extension schemas
- Rules of description
- Controlled vocabularies
- Structural requirements
- Technical requirements
- Tools and applications
- Sample document

- What are “structural requirements”?

- Occurrence of elements (METS)
- Occurrence of elements (extension schemas)
- Structure Map model
- Include metadata with mdRef or mdWrap
- Embed content file data in METS document with Fcontent or reference using Flocat
- Associate elements with ID/IDREF attributes

- Summary

- Provide guidance for the creation on METS documents
- Aid machine processing of METS documents (software tool building)
- A step towards interoperability of digital libraries

## Preparations for Next Week (1/3) – Kotcher Guidance (edited)

_***We have frozen the schedules for next week.***_**  **** **
- The PM’s are putting together responses in writing to the recommendations of the Preliminary Baseline Committee.  We will post these on the web site, along with the report itself. – _***DONE***__*** ***_
- All material for the committee including presentations (using new template) needs to be finalized, and posted, by COB eastern this Friday, 4/15 -- Send electronic version to Elaine and Steve Kane. _***No paper copies required***_.
- Bear in mind that people will be held to the allotted times for their talks next week.  Please review/revise your talks with this in mind.

## Preparations for Next Week (2/3) – Kotcher Guidance

- Technicians
- Engineers
- Physicists, broken into senior physicist, post-doc, and student
- Please keep track of this for BNL and university personnel separately.  This will make ten categories.
- I will set up VRVS for the plenary session (Wed AM), the question and answer session (Fri AM), and the closeout (Fri afternoon).  If any of the groups wants additional phone or computer connections at any of the sessions, they’ll have to make their own plans.  Contact Steve Kane if you need help setting something up.
- We will continue to attempt to present a full set of PMP’s for next week.  Alex, or I, will be in touch with you individually about that.

## First look at production

- Assume RUN 7 electronics installation in Sept 06.
- One month contingency  August
- 2 months  PCB production + assembly
- We only have to build 50 FEMs. This time could be shorten.
- Schedule final design review on the electronics.
- chain test with detector
- To understand ground, gain/shaping time of the FEM etc
- Once the parts is solder to the PCB, it is final...
- 3 months  parts procurements
- 1 month to generate P.O. and 2 months to get the parts
- March is the time to buy parts.
- Once we send out RFQ, we will know how good is the 3 months estimate.
- Risks
- March is the time to get ready for the RUN 6 test
- Split manpower and attention

## Antibacterial Handwashes:Formulations with Antimicrobial Persistence

- Lawton Seal, PhD
- Sr. Program Manager
- Healthpoint R&D

## Antibacterial Handwashes

- Consumer products for hand antisepsis are not routinely formulated to provide antimicrobial persistence or residual effects, allowing for relative rapid re-growth of flora
- Therefore, frequent product applications are needed to maintain some degree of hand antisepsis
- Alcohol-based formulations can be produced that provide prolonged antimicrobial action, may be used with or without water, and do not overtly damage the skin
- Given the importance of this product indication to the general public, we tested to ensure appropriate efficacy

## Testing Methods

- Supporting data was obtained employing the following test methods:
- Tentative Final Monograph *in vivo* test for Health Care Personnel Handwash (HCPHW)
- 5-day *in vivo* persistence assay:
- Similar concept to surgical scrub test
- Washout for 7 days and baseline assessments
- Four daily product applications (in an hour) per product instructions
- Application times varied
- Subjects gloved
- Post-application samples at 1 min, 4 hrs, and 8 hrs
- Both water-aided and waterless product applications were tested
- Results published: Am J Infect Control 2005:33:207-216.

## Waterless ProductsTFM in vivo HCPHW Test

- Am J Infect Control 2005:33:207-216

## Waterless Products5-day in vivo Persistence Test

- Am J Infect Control 2005:33:207-216

## Water-aided Products5-day in vivo Persistence Test

- Am J Infect Control 2005:33:207-216

## Conclusions

- These data support our assertion that antimicrobial persistence is available to the consumer
- A TFM-like test should be employed for these consumer products
- Thus provide adequate information about the level and duration of antimicrobial action

## A Propensity Score Comparison ofAprotinin vs Tranexamic AcidUpdated Analysis of a Large, Single-Centre Cardiac Surgery Database

**Keyvan Karkouti, MD, FRCPC, MSc**
**Toronto General Hospital**
**University Health Network**
**University of Toronto**
** **

## Disclosure

**In 2005, I received $3,000 from Bayer Inc. for various speaking engagements **

## Updated TGH Data Analyses

**Practice preference: **
**Aprotinin for high risk cases, tranexamic acid for others**
**Practice variations allows for matching aprotinin and tranexamic patients with similar risk profiles**
**Prospectively collected clinical database on consecutive CPB patients from 1999-2006 (excluding VA Devices)**
**APR = 948  TXA = 14,091   **
**Propensity score matching of APR with TXA based on likelihood of using APR**

## Confounders

**Preoperative**
**Demographics and co-morbidities**
**Surgical urgency and complexity**
**CPB Related**
**CPB and DHCA duration, blood sugar and hematocrit**
**Coagulopathy Related**
**Perioperative transfusion and coagulopathy**

## Results

**Model 1: Preoperative**
**N = 788 per group, C-index = 0.92**
**Model 2: Preoperative + CPB related**
**N = 741 per group, C-index = 0.93**
**Model 3: Preoperative + CPB related + coagulopathy related**
**N = 747 per group, C-index = 0.93**
**All models produced matches well-balanced for demographics and co-morbidities**

## Prognostic Differences – Model 1

|  | Pre-Match |  | P | Post-Match |  | P |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  | TXA | APR |  | TXA | APR |  |

| > 4 FFP Units | 25% | 32% | 0.003 | 27% | 29% | 0.3 |

## Results

## Conclusions

**Except for renal dysfunction (50% increase in creatinine to above normal within 7d of surgery or dialysis), adverse outcomes associated with aprotinin use are highly dependent on perioperative confounders**
**Existing observational studies may not have accounted for these confounders; hence, prognostic imbalances may explain their findings**
