## What is a certification?

**Confirmation that the work being invoiced has been satisfactorily performed **
**The project being charged requires this good or service**
**The good or service was performed within the scope of the subcontract (purchase order)**

## When is Certification Required ?

**When services are provided**
**When goods cannot be accepted until they pass inspection or additional testing**
**The receiving process does not provide enough information to accept the goods**
**When subcontract (purchase order) is over $2,500**

## Who should certify?

**The Division contact capable of  confirming that the service was performed or that the goods provided passed internal testing and/or inspection**
**Often, the certifier will have the technical expertise required to accept the goods or services**

## What has changed in the Process?

**Signature authority will need to be verified for applicable subcontracts**
**Applicable subcontracts are over $1 million and require certification**

## The Certification

**I certify that the work for the above referenced invoice has been completed. The work performed was within the scope of the Purchase Order. I have routed any travel costs to the Travel Office for review and approval to assure that all costs adhere to Laboratory policy. I realize that this invoice will not be paid until I "REPLY ALL" to this notice. I also recognize that it is my responsibility to note any changes needed regarding the designated project charged. If this invoice is over $100,000, it must be approved by an Authorized Signer with sufficient dollar authority as shown in the Laboratory’s *****Signature Authorization System *****(SAS) To approve an invoice over $100,000: **

## Invoices Over $100,000

**To approve an invoice over $100,000: **
**Forward this email to the Authorized Signer. Have the signer indicate their approval and forward the email to the Accounts Payable operator shown in the original email **
**OR **
**–****Have an Authorized Signer sign a copy of the invoice, indicate their approval, and return it to the Accounts Payable operator.**

## Novel Polymer Microgel Dispersions with an Inverse Thermo-reversible Gelation 

**Zhibing Hu, University of North Texas, DMR-0507208 **

**An aqueous suspension of polymer microgels has been synthesized.  It is a fluid at room temperature but becomes a gel above 33 ****o****C. These microgels consist of polymer interpenetrating networks (IPN) of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) and polyacrylic acid (PAAc) and can form a reversible physical link between neighboring particles.  We have installed an advanced rheometer (VISCOANALYSER, ATS RheoSystems/Reologica Instruments) in our lab and are studying viscoelastic properties of this suspension.  The right figure shows typical temperature dependence of elastic modulus of this suspension. Using this suspension as a model system, we will enhance our understanding on gelation and jamming processes. **

**Temperature dependence of elastic modulus of the aqueous suspension of PNIPAM-PAAc IPN microgels with polymer concentration about 3.8 wt %.  The sharp increase of G’ and G’’ near 33 ****o****C indicates gelation of the suspension.**

## Education:

- Two graduate students have worked on this project.
- Stephen Crouch successfully defended his M. Sc. thesis entitled “The  synthesis and study of poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide)/poly(acrylic acid) interpenetrating polymer network nanoparticle hydrogels” in May 2006.
- Nicole Fox, an undergraduate student, and William Estabrook, an undergraduate student sponsored by NSF’s REU program, have worked on assemblies of polymer microgels. They presented their results at the 2005 Fall Texas Section Meeting of the American Physical Society at the University of Houston. They both received the Outstanding Student Presentation Award at the meeting.
- One student of the Texas Science and Mathematic Academy (TAMS) at UNT has participated in this project.
**Outreach:**
- The PI has made physics demonstrations for undergraduate students, pre-college teachers, young people, and other members of the public.

## What Constitutes an Unsafe School?Beyond the Persistently Dangerous Label

- Annie Salsich
- The Vera Institute of Justice
- October 23, 2006
- OSDFS Advisory Committee

## Research/Policy Questions

- How have states responded to the USCO requirements?
- What is to be achieved by identifying a school as persistently dangerous?
- What actually constitutes an “unsafe” school? What elements do such schools have in common?
- What are promising strategies for working within the framework of USCO?

## Methodology

- Analysis of state USCO criteria (2003-2004)
- 44 Interviews (17 States)
- State Education Officials (8)
- Local Education Officials/School Administrators (8)
- School Safety Center Staff (10)
- Scholars and Other National Experts (8)
- Union Representatives (3)
- Youth (5)
- Parents (2)
- Comprehensive review of school safety literature and research

## State Implementation of USCO

- Similar ***approaches*** across states
- Criteria based on:
- Rates of serious violent crime;
- Rates of suspension/expulsion resulting from serious violent crime; OR
- Combination of the two.
- Typically, criteria must be met for 2-3 consecutive years

## State Implementation of USCO

- Different ***outcomes*** across states
- A school designated persistently dangerous in one state may not meet the criteria in another state.
- 2003-2004:
-  A total of 47 schools in 5 states designated
- 1 in Oregon, 2 in New York, 7 in New Jersey, 9 in Puerto Rico, and 28 in Pennsylvania
- 2004-2005:
-  A total of 41 schools in 4 states designated
- 2 in South Dakota, 10 in New Jersey, 14 in Pennsylvania, and 15 in Puerto Rico

## Responses from the Field

- Reservations and Concerns about USCO

- The language of the legislation is politically unpalatable to state and local education officials – ramifications of the “persistently dangerous” label
- USCO does not provide recommendations or support for assisting schools that are deemed unsafe
- Most strategies used to monitor school safety on a statewide basis are limited and inconsistent.

## Responses from the Field

- Reservations and Concerns about USCO (cont.)

- 4.   USCO has not advanced a national effort to identify *unsafe* schools, a task that remains critical in the eyes of everyone interviewed.

## Factors that Constitute an Unsafe School?

***A Focus on School Climate***
- Based on interviews and an in-depth review of research and best-practice literature, five factors that constitute a negative school climate emerged:
- 1. Serious Violence
- 2. Bullying, Intimidation, and Harassment
- 3. Disordered Common Areas
- 4. Lack of Emotional Connectedness to School
- 5. Inconsistent Disciplinary Practices

## Suggested State Strategies for Responding to USCO

- Use multiple data sources – among them school climate surveys – to assess school safety
- Create a “watch list” for identifying – and responding to – struggling, unsafe schools long before they are labeled “persistently dangerous.”

- *Now at KLA Tencor

- Atmospheric aerosols (particles 10 nm to 10 m) play a crucial role in the Earth’s radiation balance and may hold the key to combating global warming. However, more knowledge is needed about aerosol sources, distributions and properties. This requires continuous observations from satellites, networks of ground-based instruments, and dedicated field experiments.

- The existing Ames airborne tracking sunphotometers (AATS) make sunlight transmission measurements at 6 or 14 discrete wavelengths from which we derive information on aerosols, water vapor and ozone.
- The AATS measuements have been used extensively to validate measurements from satellite-, aircraft- and surface-based instruments.
- NASA Ames has been the world leader in airborne sunphometry since 1985.

- In the project we build a ground-based prototype to address key technical challenges we encounter when designing the smaller, lighter, fully autonomous, more capable instrument described above. The challenges are:
- a) Dynamic range of the detection system,
- b) Suppression of unwanted stray light when measuring sky radiance 	a 	few degrees away from the Sun,
- c) In-flight self-cleaning of the optical window.

## Armada

**Armada**

**Science Objectives:**
- Develop an understanding of the global ionospheric, thermospheric, and plasmaspheric dynamics.
- Understand how high-latitude heating during storms and solar flares affects the global atmospheric structure and dynamics.
- Understand how forcing from the lower atmosphere affects the thermospheric structure.
- Understand how waves and the neutral winds redistribute energy throughout the global thermosphere.
- Understand the global plasmaspheric structure and dynamics during quite and active time periods.
**Associated RFAs:**
**F2.2, F2.4, F3.1, F3.3, F3.5, H2.1, H2.3, H3.2, J1.1, J4.3**

**Enabling and Enhancing Technology Development:**
- No “Enabling” technology required.
- Multiple, identical spacecraft will benefit from streamlined fabrication, test, and management approach.
- Communicating with 100 satellites will involve a distributed array of (low cost) ground-based systems.  This can be done with amateur radio groups within universities around the world.
- Determining launches for 100 satellite will involve some planning and clustering of satellites.

**Mission Implementation Description:**
***Number of spacecraft:  **25-100
***Location:  **The orbit needs to be started around 500 km altitude and is expected to degrade over ~1-2 years.  Orbits can be relatively random, from high to low inclination.
***Attitude control:  **Need to make sure that GPS antenna is pointing roughly up and comm antenna is pointing roughly down.
***Instrumentation:  **Dual frequency GPS using civilian bands.** **
***Payload resources:  **There is significant flexibility in the launching of Armada.  This can be done in a staged cluster deployment over a long time period (1-2 years), utilizing free space on various launchers or small launch vehicles.
**Measurement Strategy: ** We will utilize high-resolution GPS measurements to determine the acceleration and drag on each satellite to infer the thermospheric mass density at each satellite location.  The dual-frequency measurements will provide slant-path TEC above the satellites.  The use of data assimilation within global ionosphere-thermosphere models will allow specification of the global mass density.  The time-history of this (within the model) will allow determination of the neutral winds and other quantities.

## How to Help Women and Children in Crisis

- _Listen_ -without judging.  Abused women often believe their abusers negative messages. They feel responsible, ashamed, inadequate and are afraid they will be judged.
- Explain that physical violence is unacceptable at any time.  Alcohol, drugs, financial pressures, depression and jealousy are not excuses.
- Let her know that in spite of the his promises the violence will most likely continue and probably get worse_._
- If she has children , let her know that domestic violence is damaging to them.
- Ask direct questions . Give her ample opportunity to talk.  Don’t rush into providing solutions.
- Make sure she knows that she is not alone.  - millions of women of every race, religion, and social standing suffer from abuse. Many women find it difficult to leave.

- Advise her that domestic violence is a crime and that she may seek protection from the court system.
- Advise her to seek help through her medical provider or local shelter program. Documentation of events is in her best interest in the event of  future legal pursuits.
- Emphasize that when she is ready, she can make a choice to leave the relationship, and that help is available for her.
- Let her know that you support and care for her.   Assure her that the violence is not her_ _responsibility.
- Provide her and advice with the following numbers, or call yourself for more info.

## NuMI/MINOS Overview

- The Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) Project
- A powerful neutrino beam from Fermilab through the Earth and aimed at a deep underground detector (MINOS) in the Soudan Mine in Minnesota (730 km).
- Detector is 5,400 tons of thin magnetized steel plates alternating with scintillators to detect and measure neutrino interactions.
- More than 250 physicists and engineers are involved from 32 institutes (including 17 U.S. universities) in six countries (U.S., China, England, France, Greece, Russia).
- The NuMI facility and MINOS detector will have unique capabilities to detect and measure the neutrino mass.
- If neutrinos have mass, then they are part of the “dark matter” in the universe.
- These issues are at the center of modern elementary particle physics, cosmology, and astrophysics.

## CCD Packages and Focal Plane V2

- Some successes in packaging and testing
- Towards Choosing directions for R&D for V2

- HTD Feb-01-2007

## S1-04

- Works
- Bright pixels

## S1-06

- Works
- Bright pixel
- a scratch
- (procedure changed after that)

## S1-10

- Works
- I thought there would be a bright pixel
- Can still see the tape, of course

## Discussion and plans for V1

- S1-01 to S1-03 wouldn’t readout out. S1-05 broke off Nanonics connector. S1-07 wouldn’t wirebond
- But 3-in-a-row V1 packages that made it to the test stand a row have worked.  First time we have had that kind of success
- What we are doing that is different:
- ESD-safe shoes?
- Michelle is getting more experience and more comfortable with the job?
- New Packages on the way
- S1-08 and S1-09 – taking out glue from connector
- S1-11 is ready to test

## What to package this week

- We are behind on pedestal packaging testing so ...
- Two picture frame packages
- Do not use thinned 2kx4k OR thinned 2kx2k devices
- How many picture frame cards in hand?
- IF 2kx4k are in hand (control wafers)
- Do not use 112094.6.1 or 112094.8.2
- Use 112094.6.2 and 112094.8.4 are ok to use
- OTHERWISE
- whatever we already have parts for
- especially if we have thinned 1/2k x 1k

## Two Possible V2 Package Directions

- Option A (not like V1)
- HiRose connector and JFET on ALN (no CCDI), kapton cable stays with device
- Focal plane slots bigger
- Questions
- JFET fits on ALN? Package flat enough (FEA)? Focal Plane flat enough (FEA)?
- Option B (similar to V1, see next slide)
- Nanonics Connector and CCDI, CCDI and kapton cable stays with device
- Focal plane slots bigger
- Questions
- Focal Plane flat enough (FEA)?

- Electronics vs Focal Plane & Package

## HIRose and JFET on AlN

- Terry Shaw

- Option A

## Decoupled Plans

- Greg Derylo is aiming at a thinner package
- so it can have wirebond repairs
- Question: Will it be flat enough (FEA)?
- Possibly all-AlN pedestal
- better mechanically, less packaging steps
- Question: Can these be manufactured and how do they compare flatness-wise?

- In situ ligand synthesis is becoming a popular route to new hybrid materials. Briefly, this involves the (often serendipitous) formation of organic linker molecules that were not present as reactants. Mechanistic information has been scarce in the literature, yet we have identified a series of oxidation reactions whereby amines are converted to oxalate and/or glycolate species. The resulting compounds that contain these units are not able to be produced directly from the oxalate/glycolate species suggesting that a ‘time-resolved’ formation of reagents yields a distinct set of reaction products.
