## Zero Observations (WP 3.2)

- Summer flounder assessments 2002-2008
- Early ADAPT VPA assessments treated “zeros” as “missing”
- 2002: Add 1 to survey series zeros – initially just YOY surveys with many zeros
- Recommendation: attempt to find subjective basis, examine sensitivity

- Summer flounder assessment 2003: YOY
- Berry (1987): objective selection of appropriate value for additive constant when using ln-transform data in ANOVA
- Calculate g-statistic = abs (skewness + kurtosis)
- Minimize g over a wide range of additive constants
- Result: add 1 to some , 0.1 to others
- However, not very confident in results

- S&T 2006 (Methot) review: substitute 1/6 of series minimum for zeros in all survey series
- Minimum typically 0.01; value typically was 0.0001667
- Significant change in some survey qs, and VPA results

## Response to S&T 2006

- Apply Berry (1987) to all survey-age series
- No consistent pattern in the additive constant that minimized g
- No strong relationship between constant that minimized g and the absolute value of the index, length of time series, number of zeros, magnitude of smallest value, or any of the statistics of the series (mean, max, min, mean, var, skew, kurt)

## Response to S&T 2006

- Inability to pick a “best” constant: need to treat each survey-age independently
- Assessment sensitive to the additive constant and/or substituted value
- Conclusion: treat “zeros” as “missing”

## AP2-Debuncher Matchingand Increasing Aperture 

- Keith GollwitzerAntiproton SourceDecember, 2000

- Do what we can over the next year
- and make improvements as we go along

## Recent Aperture Work

- Following F. Bieniosek proposals in pbar note 595 of increasing transverse aperture in Debuncher injection region (new beam pipe and flanges, re-orient some elements and motion control of some quad stands) and now installing new septum.
- Outfitted some quads with movable quad stands.
- Replaced upstream AP2 toriod (3inch beam pipe) and with 6inch beam pipe.

- Gollwitzer - Dec 2000

## AP2 Orbit Control

- Current set of trims (4V & 5H) do not allow any ‘local’ bumps during transport.
- At Debuncher injection, the vertical control allows angle changes -- no position control.
- Horizontal control at injection into the Debuncher is not much better than the vertical.

- Gollwitzer - Dec 2000

## AP2 - Debuncher Matching

- The current modeling of both the AP2 line and Debuncher show a large mismatch at injection (suggesting 200-400% transverse size increase).
- Will be looking closely at models (shared elements) and target-lens Twiss parameters.
- Studies to check models.

- Gollwitzer - Dec 2000

## AP2 Aperture 

- New ‘Hot Spot’ after removal of 3inch beam pipe.
- Hot spot at top and bottom of horizontal scrappers.
- Model’s dispersion (p/p=4%) predicts beam to be ~100mm in left bend (5inch beam pipe); need to check pipe position.

- Gollwitzer - Dec 2000

## AP2 Diagnostics

- 16 H and 16 V BPMs; 7 SEMs; and BLMs
- Measuring all 8.9GeV negatively charged particles. We assume that the antiproton distributions are the same as what the diagnostics measure.
- BPM readout is not reliable; need to have consistent position and intensity measurements.
- Need to recognize beam induced signals (hit plate or upstream scrapping producing showers).

- Gollwitzer - Dec 2000

## Debuncher Orbit Control

- 11 H and 6 V trims; other trims were removed for Run II upgrade tanks.
- No real estate left; installed 5 movable quad stands (success making local bumps).
- Plan to install more quad stands:
- Possibly 10 by summer; into straight sections(?).
- Possibly an additional 20 for local bumping.

- Gollwitzer - Dec 2000

## Debuncher Aperture

- Design report was for debuncher to be 40 and the best measured is ~25.
- Need studies to determine the restrictions.
- Will look at beam pipe through dipoles, bellows/flanges and tanks.

- Gollwitzer - Dec 2000

## Debuncher Orbit Diagnostics 

- 120 BPMs and BLMs
- BPM electronics will be updated

- Gollwitzer - Dec 2000

## Basic tenets of model

- Adolescent risk behavior is a volitional, but often unplanned reaction to risk-conducive circumstances.
- Adolescents have distinct social images of the kind of person who engages in specific risk behaviors.
- These images influence adolescents’ decisions to engage or not engage in the behavior.

## Behavioral Willingness

**An openness to risk opportunity.**
**An acknowledgement that circumstances could lead one to engage in a risk behavior.**

## Risk Behaviors

- Prototype MET, Jet and EM
- _Reruns_ with L3 cache substantially faster
- First time through faster without cache
- Not understood (victims?)

- R. Moore

## Global Prototype

- Timed prototype
- Single “pass” tool
- 100kB compiled code
- Runs on EBSDK (not Linux)
- Execution time 2.3-13μs

- R. Moore

## Memory Benchmark

- Run Linux memory benchmark program:
- Compares to K6/233 MHz PC
- 1.729 times faster with L3 cache
- 1.504 times faster w/o L3 cache

- R. Moore

## Kernel Compilation

- Time compile time of kernel (2.2.14)
- Large executables
- Lots of I/O + CPU

- R. Moore

## Comparison

- Performance decreases as complexity increases
- Global _probably_ not as bad as kernel compilation

- R. Moore

## Conclusions

- Performance drop _probably_ less than a factor of two
- Global likely to be affected the worst
- Most complex executable

## Update on Sport and Recreational Aviation

**Notes:**
Presenter:  Kim Smith

## Major Discussion Points

**FAA presented the LSA rule:**
- Sport Aviation is less restrictive than Part 23 -- intended to get more people interested in Aviation.
- Growing Community-  75 models and 1100 SLSA, 2000 airmen in US.
- Discussed manufacture, operations, pilot requirements, maintenance, continued airworthiness
**EASA presented its flight plan for general aviation covering airworthiness operations and licensing.**
- NPA planning was outlined
- An overview of the NPA to part 21 for light sport airplane was presented
**Differences identified during the session:**
- Aircraft Certification
- FAA will not issue TC or PC, manufacturer will issue a statement of compliance for each aircraft.
- EASA intends to issue TC and NAA’s will issue C of A for each aircraft.
- Criteria for Light Sport Aeroplanes are different (e.g. no maximum speed limit for EASA)
- Pilot Licensing
- FAA requires medical or a valid drivers license (restrictions apply).
- EASA will require a medical issued by a general practitioner Licensing of pilots

## Reaction from the Floor

**Should we single out piston engine propulsion system? **
- EASA to revisit.
**Clarification was requested relative to the condition for use of LSA and ELA in commercial operations:**
- LSA can only be used for personal use and for compensation or hire when limited to flight training and rental for personal use
- ELA: the conditions will be defined during the rulemaking process for operations
**Concern about EASA bringing such a formal system to a community not familiar with EASA.**
- EASA plans to rely on the network of NAA and Qualified Entities. Standardization of NAA by EASA will be done. Workshops are also envisioned.
**Fees and charges for ELA system:**
- EASA will start working on an adaptation of the fees and charges system
**Validation of ELA and LSA:**
- EASA and FAA recognize that it is a difficult issue not yet envisioned by the Bilateral Agreements
**Role of qualified entities envisaged by EASA:**
- EASA remains responsible for all legal acts; qualified entities perform only technical certification task

## Outcomes/Additional Ideas

**EASA strongly encourages comments on MDM.032 and NPA 2008-07**
**New and evolving industry – authorities will track trends and propose changes if appropriate**

## Abstract

**The goal of the project is ...... The project is developing computer-based instructional modules for statics and mechanics of materials.  The project uses 3D rendering and animation software, in which the user manipulates virtual 3D objects in much the same manner as they would physical objects. Tools being developed enable instructors to realistically include external forces and internal reactions on 3D objects as topics are being explained during lectures. Exercises are being developed for students to be able to communicate with peers and instructors through real-time voice and text interactions. The material is being beta tested at multiple institutions including community colleges. The project is being evaluated by ...  The project is being disseminated through ...**

## Sample Evaluation Plan

**Assessment of the Student Response Technology (SRT) will be both quantitative and qualitative.  First, students will be surveyed at the end of the semester on the content, level of difficulty, and their perceived level of mastery of the concepts of Statics.  Second, faculty members teaching the course using SRT will be asked to judge its effectiveness in monitoring student achievement throughout the semester.  In addition, faculty members who have been teaching Statics course for several years will be asked to compare students' abilities after using SRT with those in previous years who have not used SRT.  Finally, the final grades of students using SRT will be compared with those from previous years who have not used the technology in the classroom.**** **

## Sample Dissemination Plan

**This project will serve as a pilot for other courses at the University of ____ and at other colleges and universities throughout the country.  The results of our evaluation will be disseminated on the University's web site, which will contain a special page devoted to this NSF-sponsored project.  Additional dissemination will occur through presentations at conferences, such as teacher education and science education conferences, regionally and nationally, and through articles published in peer-reviewed journals.**
