## Development of Percolation Theory for Interface Networks in MaterialsChristopher A. Schuh, Materials Science and Engineering, MIT, DMR-0346848

- Materials usually contain internal interfaces, some of which can be weak-links that compromise properties.  We study the connectivity among the “weak-link” boundaries at short-, medium-, and long-range through polycrystalline structures

- Monte Carlo computer simulations are used to construct microstructures and impose crystallographic constraints on the grain boundary network.

- Crystallography is used to understand the tendency for local clustering among “weak-link boundaries”...

_**Our research from the past year has been widely disseminated through:**_
- The Ph.D. thesis of M. Frary
- The M.Eng. thesis of J. Zielinski
- The B.S. thesis of C. Ng
- High-profile papers in Phil.Mag. (v85 p1123), Acta Mater. (v53 p4323) and J. Materials Science (v40 p847)
- 9 seminars and conference presentations (7 invited)

- ... and we have recently shown that these have a strong tendency to form preferred, or “magic”, cluster sizes.  This result applies to *all polycrystals*, and will be especially important for micro-systems technologies

## Exercise 8.1e: Assess the likely importance of potential new data to the predictions using dss, css, and pcc (Book, p. 204-205)

**Two potential new observations to be collected under pumping conditions**

**Hydraulic head in layer 1, row 9, column 18**

**River gain or loss along entire reach**** **

## Exercise 8.1e: Assess the likely importance of potential new data to the predictions

**Calculate dimensionless scaled sensitivities (****dss****) for the two potential observations and calculate parameter correlations (****pcc****) that include these observations.**
**Use the dss and pcc to evaluate potential improvement in** **precision and uniqueness of the parameter estimates under pumping conditions.**

- Do Exercise 8.1e (p. 204) and the Problem, including answering Question 3: **Is it worth waiting for new data under pumping conditions?**

## Exercise8.1e:pss, dss,css

- Exercise8.1e:pss, dss,css

- By this analysis, no

## Recall results of Exercise 8.1b

- Observations only

- With predictions

- This analysis showed that the predictions depend on unique estimates of parameters that are NOT uniquely estimated using the existing observations.

- Tables 8.4 & 8.5,
- p. 199

**Notes:**
For this analysis, we can remove prior so that we have the true uncertainty of the parameters in the analysis.  For predictions, add pumping, add adv obs, and remove prior. 

## Exercise 8.1e:pcc

- By this analysis, yes!

- Observations only

- With potential observations

## Exercise 8.1f : OPR-ADD Results

- By the OPR analysis, are the potential observations important to the predictions?

- Figure 8.12, p. 207

- Yes!, Especially the new head!

- Are there other new head locations we should consider?

## Exercise 8.1f: OPR-ADDNODE Results

- Where are the best locations for collecting additional head data?

- Figure 8.12, p. 207

- Average OPR statistic at 100 years (averaged over x, y, z transport directions):Percent reduction in prediction standard deviation caused by adding one new head observation at a model node in layer 1.

- Proposed new head location

**Notes:**
(a), (b), and (c) correspond to x, y, and z prediction standard deviations

## Is the new data worth waiting for?

- Our analysis clearly shows that with the new data we are likely to be able to estimate more uniquely parameters important to predictions.
- The government officials want to see the results of the uncertainty analysis before they decide

## Thermally Responsive Surface Topologies

***Thermally Responsive Surface Topologies***
***From Patterned Reactive Mesogens***
**PI: Gregory P. Crawford (0506072)**
**Brown University**** **

- The underpinning scientific goal of this research is to develop a detailed understanding of the local thermal expansion “landscape” of patterned reactive liquid crystal films.  By heating a patterned ordered polymer liquid crystal film, the ordered regions can ‘pop-up since their coefficient of thermal expansion is radically different from the neighboring isotropic disordered regions as shown in the schematic illustration.  The interference microscope picture shows the film popping up for the high temperature case as compared to the room temperature case.  The feature size changes by 600 nm.
- Through advanced experimental characterization and modeling the thermally responsive surface features will be studied on the micro-, meso-, and nano-scale to fundamentally understand their tailorability through interfacial, molecular, and thermodynamic control.

**PI: Gregory P. Crawford (0506072)**
**Brown University**** **

- We are developing a science based cartoon that is fun to read so as to capture K-12 students’ attention and stimulate imagination, as well as define an outreach activity that undergraduate and graduate students in the laboratory can participate in. The basic purpose is to create a cartoon or comic strip (of sorts) _grounded_ in basic science. An example prototype cartoon is shown  where photons, colored cars (different wavelengths), are driving on highways (fiber optic cable) to a computer to deliver information (optical communications) at a particular speed limit (index of refraction).  Although fun, all the basic are hidden in the cartoon.

- New applications, such as thermally switchable surface relief gratings (diffracting above) and thermally tunable photonic crystals, are possible.

- A international collaboration
- has been set up with the TU/e in
- the Netherlands so students can
- experience another research
- culture and capitalize on state-
- of-the-art equipment.

## Questions on Safety of Bovine Bone Gelatin in Oral and Topical Drugs, Foods and Cosmetics

- TSEAC Meeting
- July 17, 2003
- Bethesda, MD

## Question #1

- Do the results of these new studies demonstrate a reduction in infectivity that is sufficient to protect human health*?
- *When bovine bone gelatin is consumed by human through oral or topical administration

## Question 2a

- Do the scientific data and information available support the current FDA recommendation on bovine bone gelatin*?
- *For oral and topical administration

## Current FDA Recommendation

**At this time, there does not appear to be a basis for objection to the use of gelatin in FDA-regulated products for oral consumption and cosmetic use by human when the gelatin is produced from bones obtained from cattle residing in, or originating from BSE countries, if the cattle come from BSE-free herds and if the slaughterhouse removes the heads, spines, and spinal cords directly after slaughter.  Nor does there appear to be a basis for objection to gelatin for oral consumption and cosmetic use which is produced from bones from countries which have not reported BSE but which fail to meet OIE standards, if the slaughterhouse  removes the heads, spine, and spinal cords after slaughter.  Gelatin processors should ensure that slaughterhouses that supply bovine bones for gelatin production remove heads, spines, and spinal cords as the first procedure following slaughter.**

## Question 2b

- If the answer is NO, what specific changes does the Committee recommend?

## Creation of Nanoscopic Structures in Two Dimensions with Diblock CopolymersShenda Baker, Harvey Mudd College DMR-0109077		 (with Annette Hosoi, MIT DMS-0109077)		

- The ability to create nanoscopic structures by the self assembly of diblock copolymers is facilitated by the natural length scales of these macromolecules. We can control the structure of aggregating blocks of polystyrene-polyethylene oxide deposited at the air water interface. Through full fluid dynamic modeling using aggregation and Marangoni spreading, we better understand the ability of this system as a function of concentration to form uniform strands (spaghetti) and individual nanoscopic dots.

**2D fluid dynamic model of PS-PEO incorporating Marangoni effects, surface diffusion, solvent evaporation and polymer entanglement for low concentration (left) and high concentration (right)****. ****[submitted to Science]**

**AFM image of a binary mixture of different ratios PS/PEO in PS-PEO diblocks. By mixing copolymers, we can tune the ratios to achieve specific geometries and sizes. **

## History of the ENERGY STAR Refrigerator Specification

## NAECA Standard

- Congress passed the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act (NAECA) in 1987
- NAECA set federal energy standards for products and allowed the Department of Energy to amend and set new energy standards

## NAECA set the maximum federal energy consumption for 18 different product classes of refrigerators
The original NAECA level applied to models manufactured after January 1, 1990
The standards were amended to be approximately 30% more restrictive for models manufactured after January 1, 1993
The standards were amended again to be approximately another 30% more restrictive for models manufactured after July 1, 2001

- The original NAECA level applied to models manufactured after January 1, 1990
- The standards were amended to be approximately 30% more restrictive for models manufactured after January 1, 1993
- The standards were amended again to be approximately another 30% more restrictive for models manufactured after July 1, 2001

- NAECA Refrigerator Level

- Robert Mochkovitch
- Frédéric Daigne

## Summary

- The optical afterglow of GRB 030329
- Origin of the bumps
- Late energy injection from slow shells
- Afterglow calculation
- Discussion and conclusion

## The optical afterglow of GRB 030329

- (BAIT data, Li et al.)

## The optical afterglow of GRB 030329

- (BAIT data, Li et al.)

## tbreak ~ 0.45 day           (and also 5 days)
	   → double jet model (Berger et al. 2003)

First bump:
tbump ~ 1.3 day
Δtbump ~ 0.6 day
Jump in afterglow flux: ~ factor of 2
Same slope after the bump

Several other bumps up to t ~ 8 days

- 	   → double jet model (Berger et al. 2003)
- First bump:
- tbump ~ 1.3 day
- Δtbump ~ 0.6 day
- Jump in afterglow flux: ~ factor of 2
- Same slope after the bump
- Several other bumps up to t ~ 8 days

- The optical afterglow of GRB 030329

- Γ~100

## Origin of the bump(s)

- Double jet model: 1st bump explained by emerging second component (wider jet)
- Granot, Nakar and Piran, 2003 :
- Density clumps in external medium
- 	increase of density in discret steps: unlikely
- Patchy shell
- 	no significant fluctuation after jet break
**Refreshed shock: late energy injection from a slow shell**

## Late energy injection from slow shells

- For E53=1 and n=1, tbump = 1 day for Γs≈12

## Late energy injection from slow shells

- GRB 030329: conditions for Δtbump< tbump

## Afterglow calculation

- Simplifing assumption:

## Afterglow calculation: parameters

- Γr = 100
- Γs = 7.5±0.2
- Er,53=1.15x10-1
- Es,53≈ Er,53
- n=2 cm-3

- θ0=0°
- Δθr=6°
- Δθs=4°
- p=2.1
- αb=2.1x10-4
- αe=10-1

## Afterglow calculation: results

## Discussion

- Fitting the data imposes ΔΓs/ Γs small:

## Discussion

- In Γ ~ 10 material internal shocks generally occur before transparency:
- 	**→** IS in slow material not observed

- A comment:
- 	In EMM (Blandford and Lyutikov), late energy injection implies late activity of central source (~1day after the main event)
- 	Is it realistic?

## Conclusion

- Bumps in GRB 030329 well explained by late energy injection from a slow shell
- → baryonic ejecta rather than purely EM
- Requires slow shell with ΔΓs/ Γs small
- → an evidence for previous internal shocks?
- Two jet model:
- does not explain late variability
- but compatible with the refreshed shock model

## ModelQuest System ValidatorAbTech Corporation, Charlottesville, VA

- Innovation
-   -  ModelQuest System Validator (SV) is an automated flight control system (FCS) system validation product for the F-18 High Alpha Research Vehicle (HARV).  System validation is being accomplished by computing overplots of hundreds of simulations for insignificant and significant anomalies with a truth model (i.e., comparing new cases with previously established truth cases).  Statistical network overplot analysis models automatically identified important differences between the truth model and an actual or hardware-in-the-loop simulated FCS.  This is expected to substantially reduce the time required to validate new control systems.

- Accomplishments
-   -  Prototype development completed and delivered to DFRC (funding amount $599,000).
-   -  Substantially reduces costs associated with manual inspection of numerous variables for each
-      FCS simulation run
-   -  Automates the generation of system validation and diagnostic models based on simulations of
-      normal and anomalous conditions.

- Commercialization
-     -  ModelQuest general data mining tool, MarketMiner market mining tool
-     -  Direct marketing and general data mining markets.
-     -  MarketMiner helps businesses acquire new customers more cost effectively, maximize the
-         profitability of their customers, and gain a better understanding of their prospects and
-         customers.
-     -  ModelQuest is applicable to a variety of domains including financial analysis, diagnostics,
-         prognostics, and outcomes analysis
-     -  ModelQuest and MarketMiner are currently being sold as packaged software products.
-     -  Software development kits available for online and real-time analysis applications
-     -  See www.marketminer.com

- Government/Science Applications
