## Preparing Workplaces for an Influenza Pandemic

- A severe pandemic would affect workplaces.
- All business and organizations should begin planning for a pandemic now.
- Critical infrastructure / key resource industries have a special responsibility to plan for a pandemic.

## How Can Influenza Spread Between People?

## Classifying Employee Exposure to Pandemic Influenza at Work

## Steps Employers Can Take

- Develop a Disaster Plan.
- Protect Employees - Use the Hierarchy of Controls.
- The Role of Facemasks and Respirators.
- A Pandemic Preparedness Plan for _Your_ Workplace.

## Stockpiling

- New “Proposed Guidance on Workplace Stockpiling of Respirators and Facemasks for Pandemic Influenza.”
- Employers should stockpile respirators and facemasks.

- Sample Calculation:
- 		4 N95s per HCW per shift X
- 		120 pandemic workdays =
- 		480 N95s per exposed HCW.
- Consider advantages and disadvantages of different types of respirators.
- Consider short term cost vs. long term cost.

## Drosophila Genomics Resource Center

- collection ~300,000, distribution >3,000
- Cell lines
- collection ~ 100, distribution >200
- Microarrays
- Amplcon transcriptome microarrays, distributed ~500
- Oligonucleotide transcriptome microarrays (INDAC) pending
- Distribuion of genome tiling microarrays (White Russell) pending
- Users
- Individual: total 1,500, active 600
- Laboratory: total 650, active 500

## Amplicon transcriptome arrays

-   Probes PCR amplified using gene specific primers
-   Donated by Incyte Genomics and Brian Oliver, NIDDK
-   15,552 spots = 10,000 non-redundent r3.1 genes
-   Quality control: gels, stain, barcode, hybridization
-   Shipped ready for hybridization
-   Gene lists, QC data and protocols available for download at web site

## Systematic functional annotation 

- Where are all the cis-regulatory sequences, what are the corresponding trans-factors, what is the regulatory network diagram through space and time?
- The solution is going to include a range of integrated experimental and computational approaches (comparative sequence analysis, transcriptional profiling, chip-chip) spanning a range of organizational levels (centers, consortia, individual labs).

- Systematic functional annotation
- of the transcriptome: the big picture

## Resolution will increase over time

-  gene specific

- transcript specific

- animals

- organs

- cell types

- genetic background

- resolution:

- low

- high

- microarrays:

- tissue:

- organization:

- centralized

- decentralized

- species specific

## Issues

- Microarray resources will evolve as our knowledge base increases
- oligonucleotide probes against current gene models will be relatively stable
- microarray evolution should be by addition rather than by revolution so that data is back compatible, eg gene specific -> exon/splice specific
- INDAC oligonucleotide arrays serve as a useful starting point for future versions: exon specific, to be used internationally
- will it be possible to develop a Drosophila pan-species transcriptome microarray(s)?

## Issues

- Isolation of cell types is an immediate technical challenge
- Dissection, LCM, FACS
- New technologies
- Is a facility efficient/logical?

## Issues

- Integration between systematic centralized and de-centralized approaches
- Overall efficiency will be maximized if all units use common reagents with compatible data
- Data standards and data warehousing/mining should be coordinated
- Should be addressed at the planning stage

## Issues

- Resource distribution
- Specific plan now required by NIH
- Should be addressed at the planning stage

- Why calibration with fast detectors only ?

**Endcap**

## METHOD: MIPs from Isolated  Pairs of SMD Strips

- Murad Sarsour +JB, IUCF

- SMD cross section

- U & V planes are orthogonal in each sector

- vertex

- Slopes used to relative gain match of strips

## Absolute SMD Calibration

-  Units are average energy deposit of MIP going perpendicular through the SMD plain
-  constrain on gains:

- 1.3 MeV

- Strip ID

- Gain  Correction
- (slopes used as input)

## Distribution of  SMD gains

- Distribution of  SMD gains

- HV change will reduce spread to some extent

## Absolute Pre/Post-shower Calibration

-  Units are energy deposit of MIP going perpendicular through  tile
-  Formula for gains from Landau fit
- to MIP peak
-  reco of actual energy deposit in a tile
-  reco of energy equivalent to MIP perp to tile

- 

- 

## Pre/Post-shower absolute gains

## Absolute Calibration of Towers (sectors 5-8)

** ****use 6 ‘o’ in **ooxxoo** or **ooxoo** in UxV patterns **(veto ~2 x 4cm )
** ****require pres1, pres2, post > thres= ped+5chan**

- Gains from MIPs w/ TPC (P. Zolnierczuk)

- Gains from MIPs w/ SMD

- Eta bin 5

- Eta bin 8

- Eta bin 11

- Eta bin 6

- Eta bin 9

- Eta bin 12

## Tower gains summary sectors 5-8

- Goal  +/- 10%
- ET=60 GeV @
- ADC=4095

## Tower gains for sectors 1-4 and 9-12

** ****No SMD installed in 2004**
** ****use slopes**
** ****absolute (eta dependent) scale from calibrated sect. 5-8**
** ****use only runs with slow detectors (less corruption)**

## Murad & Jan want to thank:

- Dave – produce ezTree for bulk of pp200 data
- Iwona, Ernst – disk space @ LBL & assistance

## Summary for 2004 data

- EEMC is calibrated  for 2004 data
- MIP’s define gains for individual towers in sectors 5-8 and all pre/post-shower tiles
- Slopes define relative gains for individual towers in sectors 1-4, 9-12 and all SMD strips.
- Absolute scale for all EEMC set by MIP’s
- pi0’s will be used to set the final energy scale for towers, once available, perhaps 10-20% change

## HV setup scheme for 2005 running

- Towers:
- Find average gain per eta bin
- Change HV for outliers above 10%
- Use slopes to confirm relative gains

- SMD, Pre, Post-shower:
- - Equalize MAPMT’s

- 2-3M minB (fast detector only) events
-  is enough to repeat MIP calib for all elements
- Perhaps not needed?

## A Regulator’s View of Stress Corrosion Cracking

- December 2, 2003
- Linda Daugherty
- Office of Pipeline Safety

## What Is the Regulatory Community Doing About SCC?

- What Concerns and Unanswered Questions Are Driving Regulatory Decisions?

- Linda Daugherty – Federal Office of Pipeline Safety
- Brian Pierzina – Minnesota Office of Pipeline Safety
- Josef Jan Kopec – Canada National Energy Board

## We have more questions than answers.

- An Uninformed (or Ill-Informed Regulator) is More Likely to Make Incorrect Regulatory Decisions

## Federal Office of Pipeline Safety

- Research and Development
- Public Workshop
- We are working to come up to speed on SCC issues.
- We are promoting information exchange within the pipeline and research communities AND with the regulatory community.

## Federal Office of Pipeline Safety

- Investigations and Monitoring of SCC Programs
- Inspections
- Standard Inspections
- 2004 Inspection Emphasis Area
- Integrity Management Audits

## Federal Office of Pipeline Safety

- October 2003 Advisory Bulletin
- All owners and operators of pipeline systems, whether or not their pipeline systems are subject to the Integrity Management Plan rules, should determine whether their pipeline system is susceptible to SCC and assess the impact of SCC on pipeline integrity.

## Federal Office of Pipeline Safety

- SCC has not appeared to be a leading cause of pipeline failures over the years.
- Is this a misperception?
- Are the numbers of SCC failures increasing?
- If so, why?

## Federal Office of Pipeline Safety

- Questions/Concerns
- There is a perception that near neutral SCC is a Canadian problem.  It might be more prevalent, but we cannot discount it in the US.
- If coating is a primary issue, why aren’t more pipelines being recoated?
- When is it time to replace problematical pipelines?

## Federal Office of Pipeline Safety

- Question/Concerns
- DA can identify SCC indications but may not  find all of it.
- Not as definitive as hydrostatic testing
- Large role in combination with other testing (hydrostatic and pigging).

## Everyone Has a Different Solution

- Pigging
- 		versus
- Hydrostatic testing
- 		versus
- Direct Assessment
- 		versus
- ???

## Federal Office of Pipeline Safety

- How does a regulator determine that a company is taking (or has taken) appropriate action?
- What to do when a pipeline in a SCC program fails...once, twice?

## We still have more questions than answers.

- An Uninformed (or Ill-Informed Regulator) is More Likely to Make Incorrect Regulatory Decisions

## Do Your Part...

- Share Your Knowledge to Improve Safety

**Degree of Particle Alignment**

-      Shear thickening in concentrated colloidal dispersions occurs when the hydrodynamic lubrication forces due to shear flow overcome interparticle stabilization forces, resulting in the formation of transient aggregates or “hydroclusters”. Discontinuous shear thickening behavior in anisotropic particle dispersions is observed to occur at significantly lower particle loadings than reported for spherical particle dispersions.  One hypothesis for this observed phenomenon is that at the shear thickening transition, anisotropic particles rotate out of flow-field alignment, resulting in the formation of randomly packed aggregate structures.
-      Rheo-SANS experiments at NIST have been conducted in order to observe the microstructural changes that occur in polyethylene glycol based dispersions of acicular (rod-like) precipitated calcium carbonate particles during shear thickening.  Through neutron scattering experiments concurrent with real time, stress controlled rheological measurement, we observe that the high degree of long-axis particle alignment that occurs during shear thinning is maintained at higher shear stresses associated with shear thickening behavior.  We conclude that shear thickening in these anisotropic particle dispersions is not the result of particle misalignment.  Rather, the observed shear thickening results from the formation of transient hydroclusters of flow-oriented particles.

-      The rheometer is equipped with a radial aperture and tangential slit package cut into boron aluminum backed with cadmium. The aperture is a 1 cm diameter circle with available slits for the tangential position measuring 0.3, 0.5, 0.6 and 0.8 mm in width. The slit/aperture package is mounted to two micrometer screws placed in the X and Y planes to ease alignment of the slit.
-      The tangential slit is aligned by comparing transmission runs across the gap. As the beam traverses from the outer edge of the cup through the gap into the bob, the transmission changes. By looking at the transmission vs. position (see right) we can determine the proper alignment of the tangential slit.
-      The exact distance between the center of the tangential slit and the center of the radial aperture is fixed. Therefore, proper alignment of the slit also gives proper alignment of the aperture.

**  ****correct given the training data *****y******T ***
** ****Weight assigned to model *****M******k***

## BMA

**For temperature:**

**Forecast error PDF centered on each individual bias-corrected forecast**** **

## BMA

**Designed for combining predictive distribution from different models.**
**Particularly well suited to EPS with distinct models or to blend members from different EPS (super-ensemble).**
**BMA PDF is a weighted average of PDF’s centered on individual bias-corrected forecasts from EPS members.**
***w******k***** is the posterior probability of member *****k***** being right over the training period. **
***w******k***** reflects member *****k***** relative contribution to overall accuracy during the training period. Generally only a few members contribute significantly. **
***w******k***** has diagnostic value to determine the relative usefulness of individual member *****k*****.**
**BMA predictive variance = between forecast variance (spread) + within forecast variance (uncertainty).**
***w******k***** and ***********k***** evaluated with the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm.**

## Neuroendocrine Tumors

- James C. Yao, MD
- Associate Professor
- Deputy Chairman, Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology
- University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center

## Neuroendocrine Tumors

- Spectrum of neoplasms.
- WHO classification
- Well differentiated neuroendocrine tumor
- Well differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma
- Poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma
- Generally more indolent then adenocarcinoma of the same site.
- Capable of producing hormonal syndrome (ie carcinoid syndrome).

## Epidemiology

- SEER

## All malignant neoplasm

- Malignant NETs

- Yao, unpublished data

## 2004 Prevalence estimate29-year limited duration prevalence analyses

- Yao, unpublished data

## Neuroendocrine versus non-neuroendocrine histologies

- NET

- Non-NET

## Significant differences among neuroendocrine tumors of various sites

## Neuroendocrine Tumors: Current Situation (1)

- Diagnosed incidence is on the rise.
- Vastly different outcome compare to more common neoplasm of the same anatomic site.
- Vastly different treatment offered.
- Adenocarcinoma: Cytotoxic chemotherapy +/- newer targeted agents
- Neuroendocrine: Hormonal therapy, interferon, newer targeted agents

## Neuroendocrine Tumors: Current Situation (2)

- No ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes except:
- 157.4 Malignant neoplasm, Islets of Langerhans (pancreatic subset of neuroendocrine tumors).
- 259.2 Carcinoid syndrome (only small subset of neuroendocrine patients has carcinoid syndrome).
- This leads to...
- Lack of precision in coding.
- Misleading statistics.
- No way to accurately bill for services.

- And Storage
- Access

- Could help
- Facilitate

- GDM Project Presentation

## Project  Drivers  & Scope

- The primary goal of this phase of the project was to deliver the execution call-out for finer-grained authorization of processing resources
- Generate an extended proxy based on role information stored in VOMS
- Module to parse extended attribute certificates
- Communicate the information to a identity mapping service in a secure manner
- Return the information to the Globus gatekeeper
- Map the user to a specified UID

- GDM Project Presentation

## Status

- Privilege has delivered an infrastructure that has been deployed on OSG
- The authorization system has been deployed on all CMS-T2 centers, the T1 at FNAL, FermiGrid, BNL, etc.
- CMS and ATLAS have defined roles that can be implemented within VOMS
- Voms extended proxy is parsed by the callout and given to GUMS for authentication
- User is either assigned to a specified account or a pool of accounts.
- Pool mapping is maintained persistently between sessions
- The release for the pre-web service globus-gatekeeper callout is stable
- Relatively light operations support
- A couple of tickets a month, so far rapidly solved
- The infrastructure does the basic elements from the initial proposal for the processing gatekeeper.
- Room for performance and functionality improvements, but fast enough for now

- GDM Project Presentation

## Plans

- There are 3 significant pieces of work facing the Privilege Developers
- Implementation of the callout for storage
- This is work that we expected to have completed already.   Slowed due to communication and available effort issues.
- The gPlasma Architecture designed by Ahbishek Rana at UCSD with help from CCF should allow the same consistent mapping received by the Globus-Gatekeeper to be available to the SRM interface
- Expected for scale deployment at FNAL by the end of the year
- The desire to deploy the GT4 Web services requires a callout for privilege
- Gabriele C. and G., and Vikram have made good progress
- Currently waiting on a patch from Globus
- Progress is somewhat dependent on others
- Hopefully a production release by early January
- The final piece of work is a detailed survey of deployment experiences and an understanding of the level of adoption on OSG sites

## MNM Fatal 2004 - 01

- Fall of Person Accident
- January 29, 2004 (South Carolina)
- Cement Plant
- Contractor Laborer
- 24 years old
- Four days experience

## Overview

- Many contractors working at plant during a scheduled maintenance outage.
- Victim worked with a crew cleaning material in and around the raw mill.
- He left his assigned work area** **and walked through duct work under the roller mill grinding table.

## Overview

- The victim walked on the crusted surface of a mound of hot dust that had accumulated directly beneath a hot gas generator.
- He received fatal burns when the material unexpectedly gave way and he fell waist deep into the hot dust.

## Slide 4

## Why Did Accident Occur?

- Victim left his assigned work area.
- He was unaware of the hazards in the duct work.
- No Barricades or warning signs.

## Slide 6

## Slide 7

## Area where victim fell.

**Area where victim fell.**

## Causal Factors

- No risk assessment conducted.
- No site specific hazard awareness training provided.
- Victim unaware of hazards associated with accumulations of hot material.

## Best Practices

- Train employees in safe work procedures and workplace hazards before beginning any work.
- Restrict access, using warning signs indicating the hazards and/or barricades, to areas where hazards may exist that are not apparent to employees.
- Ensure that employees stay in the work areas they are assigned and not venture into unfamiliar areas.
- Monitor new employees closely.

## Coronal Image ProcessingThe Accurate Depiction of Structure in Qualitative Images of the White Light Corona

- Huw Morgan, Shadia Habbal, Richard Woo

## Outline	

- Finding an unbiased radial graded filter using a model pB corona
- Apply to pB observations
- Compare results with standard LASCO images (made using division by a long term minimum method)
- Processing of white light images

## Synthetic Solar Minimum Corona

- pB at pole

- pB at equator

- Current sheet
- width

*w *is constant so **RADIAL** corona

- pB at equator

- pB at pole

- LOG pB

## Simple Radial Graded Filter (RGF)

- Processed
- intensity

- Original intensity

- Intensity averaged
- over all latitudes at *r*

- WHY NOT
- RADIAL
- ????

*r *height
** latitude

## WHY NOT RADIAL?

- Std. deviation 

- Average

- _Std. dev._
- Average

**WHY NOT RADIAL?**

- Large change in relative contrast between high and low intensity regions with height
- RGF neglects the change in contrast so processed corona is distorted

## Application to pB observations - Solar Minimum January 18 1997

- MLSO MKIII & MKIV coronameters - 1.15-2.28 Rs
- LASCO (SOHO) C2 coronagraph  -  2.28-6.2 Rs

- ‘Standard’ LASCO & MKIII

- NRGF

## Application to pB observations - Solar Maximum (June 21 2000)

- ‘Standard’ LASCO & MKIII

- NRGF

## LASCO ‘standard’ images or the NRGF - which gives the true picture?

- Latitudinal profiles at 3 heights

- LOG

- Standard

- NRGF

- Solar min

- Solar max

## Application to white light (WL)...

- Easy to apply NRGF to pB observations since pB does not contain F corona and stray light. Why bother with WL?
- LASCO makes ~30 WL obs./day, compared with ~2 pB.
- LASCO WL observations have 12” resolution (1024x1024 pix). LASCO pB have half this resolution.

**How we do it...**
- Calculate WL-pB for many days surrounding observation, and average.
- Subtract this average from desired observation
- This method provides excellent qualitative images of coronal structure after final processing with NRGF

- White light

- White light
- processed

- pB

- Minimum

- Maximum

## Application to WL - comparison with LASCO standard images 

## Application to WL - CME 

## Conclusions 

- The NRGF is a correct method for removing radial gradient from coronal images
- Division by a long term minimum almost invariably leads to a misleading depiction of structure
- A new method for processing white light images provides good results with LASCO C2 observations (C3 needs more work - due to polarization of F corona?)
- Using the NRGF, we can avoid saturating the image to see structure, and finer detail can be seen at all heights in the corona.
