## Scandinavia and the Baltic Region

**Notes:**
Data from the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer's vertical-viewing (nadir) camera were combined to create this cloud-free natural-color mosaic of Scandinavia and the Baltic region. The image extends from 64°N, 0°E in the northwest to 56°N, 32°E in the southeast, and has been draped over a shaded relief Digital Terrain Elevation Model from the United States Geological Survey. It is displayed in an equidistant conic projection.
The image area includes southern Norway, Sweden and Finland, northern Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and part of western Russia. Norway's rugged western coastline is deeply indented by fjords. Elongated lakes, formed by glacial erosion and deposition, are characteristic of the entire region, and are particularly dense throughout Finland and Sweden. Numerous islands are present, and a virtually continuous chain of small, scattered islands occur between Sweden and Finland. The northern and eastern waters of the Baltic Sea are almost fresh, since the Baltic receives saltwater only from the narrow and shallow sounds between Denmark and Sweden that connect it to the North Sea. Most of the major cities within the image area are coastal, including St. Petersburg, Stockholm, Helsinki, Riga, and Oslo.
The Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) observes the daylit Earth continuously from pole to pole, and every 9 days views the entire globe between 82 degrees north and 82 degrees south latitude.
MISR was built and is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, for NASA's Office of Earth Science, Washington, DC. The Terra satellite is managed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology.
Image credit: NASA/GSFC/LaRC/JPL, MISR Team. Jim Knighton of Clear Light Image Products produced the image mosaic. Please note that the image shown here is at a pixel resolution of approximately 1.1 kilometers, but a more detailed version at a resolution of 278 meters is available from the producer.Text acknowledgment: Clare Averill

## Lattice & Diagnostics   

- P.N. Ostroumov
- June 15, 2006

## Triplet focusing

- Good idea: requires more detailed BD studies before the mechanical design
- Take into account:
- Use 3D fields of the triplet – all 3 lenses, include fringe fields that can be different than for the single lens. Field overlapping can be significant.
- It may require aperture diameter slightly higher than 20 mm. The solenoid aperture is larger – linear fields over full 20 mm aperture.
- The first CH will operate as a buncher (phase = -90 deg) due to the longitudinal focusing problems. It requires tunable triplet (or solenoid)
- The last triplet should provide matching to the SC linac section – higher gradient and adjustable
- Use realistic input beam parameters from the RFQ and MEBT, Jean- Paul has the latest lattice
- The phase advance should be from 90 deg to 60 deg for the zero current
- The SNS PM magnets have 37 T/m – Cheap option?
- Compare development & manufacture cost to the solenoid option.

## Triplet focusing

- Design triplet to replace the first solenoid downstream of the RFQ with the goal to reduce the space between the RFQ and buncher for the diagnostics.

## Buncher effective voltage

- Current tuning requires effective voltage =110 kV.
- 		Veff=E0TL
- The bunchers should be designed for ~140 kV

## MEBT – June 12, 2006: Dimensions are OK

- Increase this space and use it for the steering magnet

## Bunchers on MEBT – reduce space along the axis

## CH-SSR1

- Strip-line BPM

- This space can be increased up to 204 mm

## Inter-cryostat space for the beam diagnostics – 200 mm along the beamline

- Use diagnostics beam box (BB) which should enable cleaning to use in a SRF environment
- The (BB) consists of
- Current transformer
- BPM, phase pick-up
- Profile scanner
- Laser wire
- Niobium wire?

## SSR1-SSR1: increased from 98.4 to 200.4 mm

## SSR1-SSR1 drift = 98.4 mm

## SSR1-SSR1 drift = 200.4 mm

## SSR1-SSR1

- The inter-flange distance has been increased from 98.4 mm to 200.4 mm
- Good matching can be obtained by adjusting solenoid fields and phases of the cavities
- Slightly larger longitudinal emittance ~10% increase
- This can be applied also  to SSR1-SSR2

## Bunch length detector

- Can be build both for low (2.5 MeV and 90 MeV) area.
- For 2.5 MeV beam
- Tungsten wire at ~-10 -15 kV
- Similar to the SNS design, the cost is ~$120K/unit
- 20-90 MeV beam:
- 6D emittance analyser based on stripped electrons (10-45 keV)
- Includes laser wire; 180-deg bending magnet for electrons, rf deflector (streak camera), electron detector
- We can build it at ANL for ~$140K + overhead expenses

## Interferometry and Fringes

- Small Separation Low Resolution

- Large SeparationHigh Resolution

*Fringes*

*Fringes*

*The Resolution of an interferometer depends only on the separation of the two openings,  or telescopes, that admit light.*

- November 23, 2004

## What is a Michelson Interferometer?

- Light from two collectors (telescopes) is combined optically onto a single detector.
- When the two beams have traveled the same distance from the star to the detector, then the two beams interfere constructively.
- Pathlength is adjusted to find this maximum brightness condition.
- With this knowledge and precise measurements of SIM’s internal geometry, the angle to the target can be calculated.
- The process gives only one component of angle precisely.
- Two measurements are required with baseline rotated ~90° about the line to the star.

- November 23, 2004

## Interferometry – The Path to High Resolution

*Interferometers can combine light from two or more mirrors as if they were pieces of a single large telescope.*

*Albert Michelson used interferometry to extend the capabilities of the then largest telescope in the world on Mt. Wilson in Southern California.*

- November 23, 2004

## Michelson Stellar Interferometry

- An interferometer combines the light from several small telescopes to yield the angular resolution of a much larger telescope

## Beam simulation 

- This time :
-    Debunch a beam down to 26 kV (E=5MeV)
-                                         or 17 kV (E4MeV) of RF voltage
-    When the beam is inside of a barrier bucket, turn the RF off
-    Compress the beam and let it sit inside the bucket for 50 ms

## Fast stacking with E  4 MeV

**Initial distribution**

**Final distribution**

## Initial distribution

**Final distribution**

##  After compression, spatial distribution of the beam is 2/3 of the original distribution instead of 1/2

-  The distribution becomes much wider after it sits in the bucket for 50ms

## Solution :  higher voltage for the barrier pulses

-                    the voltage should be larger than 5 kV

**Fast stacking with 5kV barrier pulses **

## Beam distribution inside the barrier bucket after 50 ms

## Color Hydrogen Flame Imaging SystemDuncan Technologies, Inc. (DTI), Auburn, CA

- Innovation
-   -  The DTI system provides color images of invisible hydrogen flames.

- Accomplishments
- -  The product is being manufactured commercially in small production runs.
- -  Using two charge-coupled devices (CCDs) in the near-infrared and one in the visible,
-    the system identifies the flame image and superimposes it real-time onto a color video image
-    of the scene.
- -  The imaging device can detect a three-inch flame from 150 feet.
- -  The system outputs standard NTSC and S-Video signals and can be used as a color
-    surveillance camera in the absence of a hydrogen fire.
- -  User selectable output modes provide display of the infrared, color or superimposed image.

- Commercialization
- -	Potential users of the hydrogen flame color imaging system include hydrogen suppliers, refineries, petroleum companies, food and semiconductor processors, the fertilizer industry, cosmetic companies, the hydrogen vehicle monitoring and maintenance industry, and the race car industry.
- -  	This system can replace the risky “broom method” of detecting invisible flames. This method involves waving a cornstraw broom around a suspicious area in hopes the broom will ignite to reveal the fire.
- -	Thermal imaging and vidicon systems image non-flame sources and do not reference the
-       surrounding color scene.
- -	DTI is in the process of working a commercial sale with an American automotive manufacturer.
- -	DTI is also pursuing sales from other NASA field centers.

- Government/Science Applications
- -  Stennis Space Center is using the prototype system developed through the SBIR program to monitor hydrogen flame stacks during turbopump and other rocket component testing at its E-2 Facility.
- -   Stennis purchased six systems for use in its E-1 Facility for use in testing hybrid rocket motors, turbomachinery and small rocket engines.

## IRG 1 - Premelting at defects within bulk colloidal crystals Arjun G. Yodh DMR-0520020

- Real time video microscopy has been used to gain insight into one natures’s  most basic phenomena  – melting of a crystalline solid.  Premelting, the localized loss of crystalline order at surfaces and defects for temperatures below the bulk melting transition,  can be thought of as the nucleation of the melting process.  We have found premelting at grain boundaries and dislocations within bulk colloidal crystals  made from thermally responsive microgel spheres. The thermal response of the microgel enables precision control of particle volume fraction. Particle tracking revealed increased disorder in crystalline regions bordering defects, the amount of which depends of the type of defect (e.g. grain boundaries, dislocations, vacancies), distance from the defect, and particle volume fraction. Our observations suggest interfacial free energy is the crucial parameter for premelting, in colloidal and atomic scale crystals.
*Science*, 309 1207-1210 (2005)

- We have discovered that crystalline colloids premelt near defects in crystal, before the bulk crystal melts.  This figure represents a two-dimensional slice of a three-dimensional colloidal crystal.  A grain boundary, separating two crystallites with different orientations, rises from left to right.  Near the boundary it is apparent that colloidal particles (i.e. ‘big atoms’) move rapidly and exhibit liquidlike diffusion.  Red represents the most movement and violet the least movement.

## IP Multicast Engineering for Access Grid Nodes

- State of the Art in IPv4 Multicast Deployment

**Bill Nickless****nickless@mcs.anl.gov****http://www.mcs.anl.gov/home/nickless**

## Problems Solved

- Distance Vector Metric Routing Protocol (DVMRP) does not scale
- Easy to create IP Multicast “amplifiers”.
- Separate tunneled routing infrastructure, not aligned with modern BGP Internetworking.
- Flood & Prune does not scale
- Examples: PIM-Dense Mode, DVMRP.
- Not sensitive to available bandwidth.
- Requires receivers that are smart and powerful enough to send prune messages.

## Pieces of the Solution

- Multicast Border Gateway Protocol.
- Provides  reachability and policy control for multicast routing, just as BGP does for unicast.
- Protocol Independent Multicast (Sparse Mode)
- Listeners receive traffic only when requested.
- Forms multicast distribution trees.
- Multicast Source Discovery Protocol
- Finding active sources in other PIM Sparse Mode domains (usually other ASes).

## Setting Policy: Multicast Border Gateway Protocol

- RFC 2283 adds the MP_REACH_NLRI attribute to BGP-4.
- Identifies a BGP route as unicast, multicast, or both unicast and multicast.
- When implemented in a router, all the standard BGP machinery is available for prefix filtering, preference setting, MEDs, AS length comparisons, etc.
- M-BGP routes can be independent of BGP, allowing for diverse inter-AS routing tables and policy.

## PIM Sparse Mode

- RFC 2362 defines PIM Sparse Mode.
- No PIM-SM activity until a host starts transmitting traffic, or a host subscribes to a group.
- A Rendezvous Point (RP) is elected to become the root of the distribution tree for an IP Multicast Group within an AS.
- Given enough traffic, a source-based distribution tree is created.

## PIM Sparse Mode

## Multicast Session Discovery Protocol

- Not yet an RFC.  See **http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/msdp-charter.html**and**http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/****     draft-ietf-msdp-spec-06.txt**
- PIM-SM RPs in separate ASes communicate through MSDP to find active multicast sources.
- Currently only covers IPv4.  IETF’s working group may decide to extend to IPv6.

## The Beacon: Test Signal

- Testing Multicast requires active sessions
- _[http://](http://dast.nlanr.net/projects/beacon)__[dast](http://dast.nlanr.net/projects/beacon)__[.](http://dast.nlanr.net/projects/beacon)__[nlanr](http://dast.nlanr.net/projects/beacon)__[.net/projects/beacon](http://dast.nlanr.net/projects/beacon)_
- In Java, so runs_anywhere_

## The Beacon: Issues

- Shows current state only.
- Archive state over time?
- How to visualize evolving state?  Inherently a 3-dimensional problem, since state is 2D already.
- Server scaling problems with O(40) beacons.
- Assumes Internet Standard Multicast model.

## North American R&E Network IP Multicast Status

- ESNet, Abilene, vBNS+, and NREN all running M-BGP, MSDP, and PIM-SM amongst themselves and with their customers/peers.
- Regional and Institutional networks are currently the most common limitations.
- STARTAP router in Chicago is an international IP multicast meeting point.
- International networks are coming online.

## Hematology Case Study

## Patient History

- Patient- 30-year-old man arrived at the clinic with severe stomach pain after eating. He also complained of hip pain during the last several weeks. His doctor found on physical examination that he had an enlarged spleen.
- A complete blood count was performed on the automated hematology analyzer

## Laboratory Results:

- RBC= 2.96
- WBC= 230.0
- Hemoglobin = 9.9
- Hematocrit = 30. 2
- Platelet= 105
- WBC/ PLT Histogram is giving abnormal flags
- RBC Histogram is giving abnormal flags

## What laboratory findings should be discussed?

## Interpretation

- WBC ‘s are markedly increased
- Platelets are decreased
- RBC and Hemoglobin and Hematocrit are slightly decreased.

## Should other tests be performed?

- What?

## Manual Differential Smear

## Results of Manual Differential Smear:

- Segmented Neutrophils= 30
- Band Neutrophils = 22
- Metamyelocytes= 10
- Myelocytes= 7
- Promyelocytes= 4
- Blasts= 1
- Basophils= 7
- Eosinophils= 2
- Lymphocytes= 17
- NRBC’s/100 cells= 3
- RBC Morphology: 2+ aniso, 1+ polychromasia, 1+ poik

## Other Manual Test Results

- Hgb conc. without centrifugation- 9.9
- Hgb conc. after centrifugation- 7.5
- RBC count – 1.94

## 				Explanations

- When WBC > 99.9 or exceeds the linearity range of WBC’s
- Spin the Hgb and perform manual hgb
- Hemolysates prepared from whole blood same as, marked leukocytosis can cause turbidity and erroneous results
- Hemolysates should be centrifuged

##  Troubleshooting Notes, continued:

- Correct the RBC because an extremely high WBC count can falsely elevate the RBC count.
- Perform manual WBC if particle interference is present on WBC or PLT histogram.
- Question Platelet Validity- check smear and or perform manual platelet  count.
- Abnormal blood specimens will produce small particle interference that results in false elevation of the platelet count.

## What is the Most Likely Cause of this Situation?

## Case Solution

- Massive splenomegaly with marked leukocytosis and a left shift in precursor cells of the myeloid series, and basophilia is highly suggestive of chronic granuloma leukopenia (CGL).
- Unlike leukemia reactions, in which the blood smear findings may be similar to that seen in CGL, the leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) score is high, while in patients with CGL it is extremely low or cannot be estimated.

## An Ounce of Prevention = A Pound of CureCRC, CAA & High Water Mark (HWM)Utility-Funded Documentation Requirements

- BPA reviews claims made through the Planning, Tracking & Reporting (PTR) system.  With minimal exception, BPA only has the numbers and letters on the screen to determine the acceptability of the claims made.
- Customer’s use of the PTR system enables their retention of supporting documentation.  This means customers do not need to copy and mail volumes of documents to BPA to receive reimbursements or acceptance of claims made.
- The documentation in customer’s files and the unique number that ties those documents to the PTR system reports are critical to the successful use of the PTR system.  The unique report number is the link from the PTR system to the documents in the file and to the measures installed and operating in end-use consumers’ facilities.
- The documentation BPA requires customers to keep in their files is more comprehensive than the information that must be entered into the PTR system.  The amount of information entered into the PTR system and the documentation required varies by measure.  That is, we require less documentation for residential CFLs, and more for custom projects.
- BPA has developed a Documentation Requirements document in response to questions asked about our requirements.  This document provides requirements in general, as well as specific requirements for selected measures.
- The Documentation Requirements document is updated as BPA’s requirements change, or as customers ask for information on measures not specifically included in the document.
- The documentation requirements apply to CAA, CRC and the utility-funded HWM measures.
- During oversight visits, the COTRs review the CAA, CRC and utility-funded HWM files and conduct site visits to validate the claims made in the PTR system.  BPA will make corrections to the amounts reimbursed or credits provided as necessary based upon our oversight review findings
- If you are unsure of the requirements, please ask.  We really are here to help!

## Lunar project station

- 	We believe there can be a station were people can live on the moon. We will tell you the main characteristics that a lunar station must have. And what we have to think of when we plan a station.

## 

The great high lunar plateau is the best place to locate a lunar station because the chances of a meteorite sticking the surface of the moon are lower so is the amount of radiation. 

- The great high lunar plateau is the best place to locate a lunar station because the chances of a meteorite sticking the surface of the moon are lower so is the amount of radiation.

**Location**

## Materials

- It would be very expensive to transport materials from earth. The best is to use materials available on the moon.  Even though the moon is poor on Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Carbon it has materials that can be of use and are easy to process like Regolite.
- Lunar soil is rich in oxides. The most common is silicon dioxide (SiO2), "like beach sand,". Also plentiful are oxides of calcium (CaO), iron (FeO) and magnesium (MgO). Add up all the O's: 43% of the mass of lunar soil is oxygen and can be used for several purposes.
- NASA is working on a technique that heats lunar soils until they release oxygen. This can eventually be used to our advantage.
- A new and advanced material called RXF1 based on Polyethylene, that is actually stronger and lighter than aluminum can be transported to the moon at lower costs.
- Finally Oxygen, metals and other materials could be extracted from the asteroids that crash in the lunar surface.

## Communications

- 	Compared with other requirements communications are relatively easier to establish due to the vacuum existent in space.  Radio signals travel easily in these conditions and make good communication systems.  For this to work properly special attention should be put into precisely calibrating the antennas. This has to be the case in both moon and earth stations.

## Food and Water

- 	The best way to conserve food is dehydrated in cans or special plastic bags.
- 	To obtain water a special robot can travel to the north or south poles of the moon to get ice and bring it back to the station where it can be melted. This can also produce oxygen.

## Protection against radiation

- It would be helpful but expensive to use the new electrically charged set of sphere shields and the 40m masts that have been designed by NASA to deviate radiation.

## Energy

- Solar energy will be used in many instances like ovens made with light metallic sheets. Solar panels  could provide the station with energy for electric light, computers and to heat water and electric stoves. Some reflection panels could be used to provide light for plants, this could eventually form a small atmosphere.
