## Status of Data Handling

- At the June 2003 collaboration meeting there were two options presented for handling the MINOS data
- Invent our own system
- Use SAM (Sequential Access with Metadata) which was developed for Run II and is used by CDF and D0
- Given our limited manpower (part of Liz Buckley-Geer and 50% of a programmer) we have decided to go with the SAM option which we think will meet our needs
- There are a number of advantages such as extensive experience and help from the SAM team – which we have already made heavy use of -  support for the product.
- These advantages far outweigh the minor inconveniences such as use of ups/upd to install the product.

## Work so far

- We (Liz Buckley-Geer and Bruce Greenway) have installed the SAM software on a Linux PC and have a data server (station) running.
- We have a SAM schema created for MINOS in the D0 development ORACLE database.
- We have populated the schema with the necessary startup data and have added a few files by hand. Bruce is working on some scripts to populate the file info for September 2003 so we can make more extensive tests. This information is extracted from the DBUSUBRUNSUMMARY tables in the offline database plus info from the PNFS entries.
- We have successfully defined a SAM dataset that consists of a few files and run SAM projects using this dataset.  We have configured the station to use both local disk cache and DCache disk – a mode that CDF uses.
- The client software has been installed on desktop PC and successfully used to run SAM projects using Dcache disk – need to try with locally configured SAM cache.

## Upcoming work

- So far all we can do is deliver the files from a SAM project to a SAM disk cache
- We want to be able to deliver the files into the loon job.
- This requires an input module that makes calls to SAM to obtain the next file in the project. We have started looking at this. When this is available we will ask for some initial offsite testers.
- A number of improvements are in the works for SAM and we would like these to be available before we go into production.
- Also we need to purchase the MINOS ORACLE database machine so that we can setup our own SAM database.
- We will need to work on things like installation instructions, customizing the web query tools

## GENETIC INHERITANCE – Why does a cow look (or not look) like its parents?

- Only 2 horn genes determine if a cow will be horned or polled.
- The polled gene (P) is dominant over the horned gene (h).
- Any animal with a polled gene (P) will be polled.
- Only animals with 2 horned genes (hh) genes will be horned.
- POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS

- GENETIC INHERITANCE – Why does a cow look (or not look) like its parents?

- RED AND BLACK COAT COLORS
- Only 2 color genes determine if a cow will be red or black.
- The black gene (B) is dominant over the red gene (r).
- Any animal with a black gene (B) will be black.

## A proposed alert-level notification system for all U.S. volcanoes 

**C.A. Gardner, M.C. Guffanti, C.C. Heliker, D.P. Hill, J.B. Lowenstern and T.L. Murray**

## The U.S is rich in volcanoes

- AVO

- HVO

**YVO**

**LVO**

- CVO

**~ 170 past 10,000 yrs**
**~  80 historical time**
**~  50 monitored**

**5 volcano observatories/**
** ****3 alert level systems**

## Our goal is a single system that:

** ****can accommodate all styles, sizes and durations of volcanic activity**
** ****is useful to both aviation and ground-based communities**
** ****works during escalating and de-escalating activity**
** ****does not erupt existing effective communication or protocols**

## Proposed System

| COLOR | TERM | DESCRIPTION |
| --- | --- | --- |
| GREEN | NORMAL | Normal non-eruptive state; typical background activity |
| YELLOW | ADVISORY | Elevated unrest above known background activity |
| ORANGE | WATCH | Escalating or sustained unrest indicates eruption likely, timeframe variable.  OR, eruption underway that poses a localized hazard (e.g., lava flows, lahars, or hydrothermal activity in largely uninhabited areas, or small ash plumes). |
| RED | WARNING | Hazardous eruption is expected within hours or is underway |

## Elements of the proposed system

** ****color compatible with the current aviation color code**
** ****term compatible with NWS system for ground-based hazards **
** ****description based on activity at the volcano**

-  **no specific language regarding plume height or forecast of activity**
**  ****information regarding plume height and forecast part of text accompanying change in alert levels or updates**

**ALASKA VOLCANO OBSERVATORY**
**CURRENT STATUS REPORT**
- Thursday, June 10, 2004 3:50 PM ADT (23:50 UTC)
-    **MOUNT VENIAMINOF **(CAVW#1102-07)
- 53° 10’N 159°23’W  Summit Cone elevation 10,016 ft; 3,053 m)
**CURRENT LEVEL OF CONCERN COLOR CODE:  YELLOW**
-     Episodes of low-level tremor were recorded at Mount Veniaminof throughout the day.  Several episodes were of similar amplitude to those that in the past were accompanied by short-duration, small ash emissions (less than 10,000 feet above sea level).  Clouds continue to obscure the volcano in satellite data and web camera images.  Activity at Mount Veniaminof can increase quickly and small ash emissions that pose a hazard to people and low-flying aircraft in the vicinity of the caldera may occur with little or no warning.

## Feedback

**from the aviation community to ensure effective communication**

**  ****from the volcano community to discuss other approaches - someday a  worldwide scheme?**

## Centro de recepción de visitantes en el Castillo de San Lorenzo El Real de Chagres. 

- Centro de recepción de visitantes en el Castillo de San Lorenzo El Real de Chagres.

- Darién Montañez ARQUITECTO PANAMEÑO©

## Localización

- El objetivo del proyecto es satisfacer las necesidades básicas de un visitante al Castillo de San Lorenzo El Real de Chagres. El área a ser construida es el terreno plano que queda a la izquierda de la carretera de acceso al fuerte, justo antes del actual área de estacionamientos.

## Localización

- Una rotonda permite el desembarque de los visitantes. Las áreas de rodamiento serán de adoquines de cemento, y los estacionamientos de bloques ornamentales tipo “grama-block”. La plaza de recepción, situada entre la rotonda y el edificio, también será de adoquines.

## Planta arquitectónica

- Para explotar la vista de la desembocadura del Chagres, además de la vista al Castillo de San Lorenzo, los accesos y circulación públicos se dan en portales abiertos al sur y al este. En el lado sur se instalará una terraza abierta con piso de madera que se proyecta más afuera sobre la pendiente, consiguiendo perspectivas nuevas del castillo y el río.

- Los espacios internos están distribuidos sencillamente: La entrada principal lleva al área de exhibiciones, de donde el visitante pasa a una pequeña tienda, con el área de administración detrás. Las dos baterías de baños tienen un acceso independiente desde el portal más estrecho al lado sur del edificio. En la esquine noroeste hay un pequeño cuarto de aseo.

## Elevaciones

- Los techos de tejalit, con sus amplios aleros y ventanucos de ventilación en el caballete, hacen referencia al “bungalow” canalero, cliché inevitable de toda construcción postmoderna en el área del canal, pero recuperan todas las lecciones básicas del modelo original: principalmente fomentar la ventilación natural y ofrecer protección contra los elementos.

- Ninguno de los muros se eleva hasta el nivel de la pendiente del techo, sino que tienen la misma altura de la fascia permietral del mismo: 2.25 metros. Las brechas irregulares que se producen entre el tope del muro y el cielo raso son cerrada con malla expandida de acero, lo que permite la circulación natural del aire y la iluminación natural y difusa de los espacios interiores.

## Unit 2D Objective

**Describe and identify the various types of hose lays used in initial attack and mopup of fires.**

## Simple Hose Lay

**Simple Hose Lay**

**   ****A hose lay that comes straight off the pump and goes directly to the nozzle with no junctions in between.**

## Progressive Hose Lay

**   ****A hose lay that comes from a pump source to the fire which has a series of lateral junctions in place between the pump and lead nozzle.**

## Simple Hose Lay

**Simple Hose Lay**

**   **

## Progressive Hose Lay Steps

**Progressive Hose Lay Steps**

**      ****A progressive hose lay can easily supply 3 to 5 nozzles depending on friction loss and required head pressure.  It provides numerous opportunities for lateral lines to speed up mopup and to prevent having to move trunk lines.**

## Assessing Hospital and Health System Preparedness and Response

**Howard Levitin, M.D.**
**Emergency Physician and Consultant**
**Disaster Planning International**

## Level of Preparedness in Four Hospitals Surveyed

**None met minimum level of preparedness**
**Only one center provided bioweapon (BW) training**
**Only one facility’s plan addressed mass casualties**
**All four hospitals regularly experience staffing problems**
**Most had no excess capacity in the ED or ICU**
**None had sufficient supplies to manage a mass casualty incident**

## Obstacles to Preparedness

**Lack of financial support for BW planning & preparedness (typically volunteer)**
**No generally accepted planning scenario**
**Shortage of “true” planning/response expertise**
**Minimal (or no) excess patient care capacity**

## Current Health of the Healthcare System 

**Fewer hospitals**
**Fewer hospital beds**
**ED overcrowding **
**Personnel shortage**
**Resource limitations**
**Financial instability**

**- Decreased by 1,075 1979-1999**

**- 378,000 decrease 1979-1999**

**- ED volume up 14%**

**- Nurses, Pharmacists, etc.**

**- Just in time purchasing**

**- Decline in government support for hospitals; unfunded mandates; increase demand for charity care**

## To Measure Capacity, Hospitals must:

**Evaluate existing & immediately available services for inpatient & outpatient care**
**Assess its rapid expansion capacity – physical plant, personnel, supplies & equipment**
**Consider maintenance of standards for medical care, monitoring & tracking**
**Consider contingency plans to ensure patient care – alternative care centers, discontinuance of services & patient transfers**

## Processes to Increase Capacity

**Early patient discharge**
**Cancel elective procedures**
**Open unused patient care areas**
**Utilize “non-traditional” patient care areas**
**Increase nurse/patient ratios**

**Limiting factors **
**Personnel**
**Supplies**
**Monitors/equipment**
**Utilities**
**Baseline demand for care doesn’t change**
**What will be the impact of the increased capacity?**

## Hospital Assessment 

**Biological Emergency **
**Planning ****& ****Preparedness Questionnaire**
**For **
**Healthcare Facilities**

**Clinical Preparedness Maturity Model**
**Management & Planning**
**Information Technology **
**Logistics**
**Staff Skills**
**Surveillance/detection**

## Public Health

**Lead agency in a biological attack **
**Under reporting of infectious outbreaks**
**Underutilized resource ****by medical providers**
**Inadequate daily contact ****with community ****emergency resources**
**Staff shortage – ****especially Epidemiologists**
**Not available 24/7**

## 50 Anthrax PatientsBed Requirements

## Yearly Impact of Influenza

**Excess hospitalizations 50/100,000**
**50% hospitalized >65**
**20,000 die annually from the flu**
**Direct costs -$1B (1986)**
**Indirect costs - $2-4B**

**Seasonal effects:**
**Overcrowding – ED, UCC, PPP, clinics**
**ED diversion**
**Prolonged wait times**
**Bed shortages**
**Overworked (sick) staff**
**Scarcity of ventilators**

## Saturn

- By: C.J. and Stuart

**Brewster Middle**

## The Problem

- Our objective is to create an AU based on a planet other than earth. Then we have to find the distance of the other planets in AU’s, using our new calculation.Our planet is Saturn which now has 1 AU.

## Work

- 1,426,725,400/n
- n= the AU of the planet you are trying to find.
- 1 AU= distance from Saturn to the sun.
- Mercury=.04AU; Venus=.07AU; Earth=.10AU; Mars=.16AU; Jupiter=.55AU; Saturn=1AU; Uranus=2.01AU; Neptune=3.15AU; Pluto=4.14AU

- This is our work!

## Advantage

- Easy to calculate.

## Disadvantages

-  Most of the numbers aren’t “user friendly.”
- A lot of decimal values make it harder to work with.
- You would have to go back and change all the books.

## Other Facts About Saturn

- 6th planet from the sun.
- Second largest planet in our solar system.
- Has the largest rings in our solar system.
- Made of helium and hydrogen.

## Conclusion

- We think we picked a good planet to work with.
- It worked well, but as you saw there are some disadvantages.
- THE END

## Beam Position Correction

- Wendy Taylor
- STT Meeting
- August 9, 2002

## Get Beam Spot for Each Barrel

- (rB,B) downloaded from vertex_examine online
- Offline, vertex_examine isn’t available
- Beamtilt package?
- Beam slope parameters not available in MCKineChunk
- For now, compute it by hand from the beam slope using the center of each barrel
- New RCP parameters in tsim_l2stt.rcp
- xslope, yslope
- xoffset, yoffset
- Fit is performed to find b, , 0, then b, 0 corrected for the beam spot in the barrel in which resides the innermost SMT hit

## Beam Position Correction in the Fit

- Lowest order term of Taylor expansion, neglecting terms quadratic in 

## ZH Events, No Beam Slope

## Single Muon Events, Slope not Corrected

## Single Muon Events, Slope Corrected

## More Interesting Plots from tsim_l2stt

## More Interesting Plots from tsim_l2stt

## Summary

- Results aren’t as I expected
- Presumably a bug somewhere; I need to implement my own histogramming as there is insufficient information in the STT root files
- More detailed studies required
- When everything makes sense in the floating-point 3xN fitter, need to verify results in the integer DSP version (where sine’s and sqrt’s must be approximated)

## Dynamic Transmission Losses in LMP Markets

- SSG-WI Workshop
- September 14-15, 2004

## Marginal Losses

- Transmission Losses
- Sample actual prices from New York on July 1st, 2001
- No congestion in the hour
- 40% delta in prices solely due to losses!

## NY ISO Actual Marginal Losses – July 31, 2002

## NY ISO Actual Marginal Losses – July 2002

## Marginal Loss Rate Goes Into LMP

- Let’s assume losses = .0005 x (flow into B)2
- Then marginal loss rate = .001 x (flow into B)
-                                              = .1 MWlosses/MWflow
- LMPB = Price of Marginal Generator x 1.1
-               = 20 x 1.1 = 22 $/MWh

## Marginal Loss Rate Goes Into LMP

- Over-collection of loss revenues
- Who gets the difference?
- (For congestion, the difference goes to the holders of FTRs)
- Typically allocated back to load customers as offset of transmission service charge
- (Socializes losses over loads, leaves generators exposed)

## Effects of Marginal Losses

- Reduce flows due to price penalty

- ERCOT North/South Interface Flow Distribution:
- PROMOD IV Simulation for July 2004

## Effects of Marginal Losses

- Price marginal remote generation out of the market
- Additional dimension to price volatility
- Potential unanticipated re-allocation of costs over customers
- Improves locational price signal for new loads and generation

## Existing Contracts inTransmission Planning

- SSG-WI Workshop
- September 14-15, 2004

## Types of Existing Contracts

- Remote/Joint-Owned Generation
- Owned resources
- QF
- Merchant
- Unit Purchase
- Wholesale Load
- Bilateral Contracts

## Sources of Data

- FERC Tariffs
- Tedious to discover details
- Form 1
- Gives general historical quantities
- Difficult to discern dispatchability, price, term, etc.

## Can Existing Contracts Be Ignored?

- Do they affect system economic dispatch?
- Out-of-merit dispatch
- Market incentive to adopt economic dispatch
- Bypass hurdle rates across seams?
- May affect economic transfers
- Just a hedge against spot prices?
- Should transmission be planned around uneconomic transfers that bypass the market?

## Treatment of Grandfathered Agreements

- Self-schedule, with hedge for actual congestion
- Convert to “equivalent” FTR
- Buy out uneconomic contracts
- Stranded cost treatment of QF contracts

## NewEnergy Recommended Approach

- Assume existing contracts just represent hedges
- Market incentives enforce economic scheduling
- Existing Contracts only affect portfolio value of holder
- LMPs, transmission flows are unaffected
- In a transparent coordinated market, value of transmission and energy resources are reflected in spot prices.

## E-1-3

- NPOESS Program and Spacecraft

## Nunn-McCurdy Impacts to A-DCS on NPOESS

- NPOESS is dual-funded by NOAA and DOD
- Nunn-McCurdy law (applies to DOD) required re-certification of NPOESS program to Congress
- Recertification took place June 6th, 2006
- NGST/IPO working on a restructured contract since June 2006, to be completed July 2007
- Recertified program differs in some respects from prior program
- 		- NPOESS returning to the original concept of two orbit planes
- 			- Two (sequential) satellites for each plane
- 		- NPOESS no 21:30 ascending (9:30 descending) orbit
- 		- 21:30 orbit did not include A-DCS, so no A-DCS impact due 	  to fewer orbit planes
- 		- New launch dates (see next page)

## Nunn-McCurdy Impacts to A-DCS on NPOESS (cont.)

- Initial order for two satellites,
- 		- option for additional two to be exercised in 2010
- Planned launch dates:	C1	31 Jan 2013  	1330 orbit
- 		C2	31 Dec 2015	1730 orbit
- 		C3	31 Jan 2018	1330 orbit
- 		C4	31 Jan 2020	1730 orbit
- Spacecraft “need dates” for A-DCS instrument being worked between NGST/IPO and CNES
- Program runs through 2026 (provide data through 2026)

## French oceanographic cruisesG. Reverdin, F. Marin

- French oceanographic cruises with XBTs launched ship steaming arond 10-12 knots between two CTDs typically 20-40 km apart from XBT. The launch is done manually from a position fairly low above water, typically near the aft of the ship or along the side (a little higher on DTX, seems to be)
- There seems to be generally no documentation on the equation used in the French archives (‘unknown’). And for the recent ones, different choices have been done on the total depth of reported data (and no correlation with the equation used)
- Comparisons of XBT T(3m) with intake temperatures have not been done, but this is possible in a large number of cases.
- Cruises are in the tropical Oceans mostly (from 1979, 1980, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1991, some of the PIRATA cruises since 1997, **EGEE cruises, 2005-2007**); also mid-latitude North Atlantic (Semaphore, 1993; **POMME 2000-2001** among others)

## EGEE5 June 2007original

## EGEE6 Oct 2007original

- EGEE1: numerous problems. Why?
- All EGEE (except EGEE5, 6 on the R.V. Antea) show positive SST anomaly (0.06°C) and upper thermocline too warm (suggesting depth overestimated down to 80m). Is same software used (MK12 EGEE1 MK21 others, but I dont know for EGEE5, 6)
- Pomme winter data on Atalante dont have a positive SST bias. On the other hand the late summer Thalassa ones have a 0.12°C bias (same software, same batch of XBTs). The DTX winter ones also seem to have a small bias (0.04°C).
**Questions**:
- 	Do we trust the CTD SSTs during ‘warm’ season? (mixing by the ship in station: what is its effect?).
- Conditions on research vessels very different than the ones on merchant vessels (height of launch of XBTs; also position on the ship somewhat different)

- Reduced abatement costs
- Cheap substrate handling
- Reduced packaging costs

## Printed Transistors

## Plans & Current Status

- Year 1:
- Development of baseline arrayed sensor process
- Sensor Characterization
- Development of arrayable materials
- Year 2:
- Array demonstration
- Development of signature table for above arrayed sensor
- Characterization of 2nd generation targets
- Year 3:
- Optimization of arrayed sensors
- Characterization of real-time monitoring
- Characterization of fluid sensing using organic gas sensors
- Optimization of derivatives for sensing applications.

## Baseline sensor screening process

**S**

**D**

**G**

- Materials are characterized using a substrate-gated architecture (easy fabrication for rapid screening)

- A silicon substrate enables easy I/O via an edge connector

- The channel is exposed to the analyte, resulting in performance changes

## Sensor Characterization

- To ensure accuracy, measurements are performed with a calibrated precision semiconductor parameter analyzer.

- Switching between individual sensors is performed via a switch matrix PCB

## Experimental Setup

## Sensor Repeatability

- Multiple cycles can be performed with full regeneration

## Multi-parameter sensing

## Sensor dynamics – transient response

- Sensor response can be very slow, due to slow analyte absorption.  Speed can be increased by reducing film thickness

## Differential sensitivity – pathway to an electronic nose?

## Demonstration of basic electronic nose functionality

## Organic Transistor Stability

- Implication: We must either improve dielectric interface or use VT-insensitive differential sensing method

## Interaction Mechanisms

- Baseline

- Sensors show a wide range of interactions, complicating analysis.  Interactions include:
- Polar group interactions
- Chain / bulk interactions
- Swelling

## Conclusions & Future Work

- Organic FET-based sensors show promising responses, including transient behavior and cycle life
- Work remains to optimize structure and process flow, particularly in terms of stability and reliability
- Future Work:
- Integration of latest sensing materials into printed device architecture
- Deployment in testing of environmentally-relevant analytes
- Enhancement of specificity through functionalization / doping
