## Federal Aviation Administration Average Weight SurveyProcess, Survey and Results

## Strategy

**Gather Information**
**Analyze and Evaluate**
**Identify Deficiencies**
**Formulate Corrective Action**
**Implement Corrective Action**

## Gathering Information

**FAA Notice 8400.40 required operators to validate their current approved Weight & Balance Control Program.**

**FOR MORE INFO...**

**Notice 8400.40 dated 1/24/03**

## Method of Survey 	

**All operators of 10-19 passenger seat aircraft conducting scheduled 121 operations and using average weight programs**
**Conducted over 3 consecutive days**
**Survey conducted at 30% of the carriers stations, with 15% of the flights sampled.**

## Obtaining weights

**Passengers weights **
**Asked weight, or **
**Actual weight**
**Carry-on and Checked Baggage **
**Actual weight**

## Analyze and Evaluate

-            *    Carrier currently uses actual weights in this category and did not report
-   Carrier did not properly conduct survey and results not reflected in survey results

## Survey results

## Survey results 

## Survey Outcome

**Of the 15 carriers using average weight programs, all 15 carriers adjusted their weights in one or more of the weight categories by 5%-25%.**

## Identify Possible Deficiencies		

- Compared survey weights to the stated weights in AC 120-27C
- Survey indicates the AC 120-27C weights may need to be revised.

## Corrective Actions: Short-Term 

**By August 11, 2003, Notice 8300.112 requires all 121, 125, and 135 operators to revise their average weight program with the following criteria or complete a average weight survey.***
**+10 pounds per passenger for personal items**
**+5 pounds to each domestic checked bag**
**Use actual weights for US Mail Bags & COMAT**
***8400.40 carriers are exempt**

## Corrective Action: Long-Term (6 months) 	

**Revise AC 120-27C under an Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC).**
**The ARC will address the following issues:**
**Survey average passenger, carry-on, checked baggage weights**
**Average weight of carry-on bags checked planeside**
**Seasonal operations**
**Time interval between average weight validations**
**International harmonization**
**Oversized bag weights**
**Male/Female ratios in average weight programs**

## Aspheric Surface Figuring Using Plasma      Assisted Chemical EtchingCorning-OCA Applied Optics, Inc.Garden Grove, CA

**Government/Science Applications**
- Potential applications include silicon aspheric figuring;  ultra-low scatter surfaces; silicon clad silicon carbide components; optical elements requiring zero subsurface damage; diamond thinning and figuring; and complex oxide thinning and figuring.
- The basic methodology developed during this program can be readily optimized for additional materials, including silicon, germanium and others.

**Accomplishments**
- Corning-OCA established pre-processing methods and a suitable Plasma Assisted Chemical Etching (PACE) removal depth strategy for fused silica to ensure that final PACE-finished surfaces meet current low-scatter optical standards.
- Corning-OCA developed an accurate model for the PACE process on fused silica to precisely optimize the plasma etching tool path over the substrate surface to produce the desired correction.
- Corning-OCA also designed and built a second generation PACE system which meets the material and electrical compatibility requirements imposed by the plasma etching process and demonstrated the capabilities of the final one-step PACE figuring method on a fused silica test substrate.
**Commercialization**
- Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has expressed a strong interest in PACE as a cost-effective fabrication technique for laser optics.
- Norton Diamond Films, a primary player in the diamond coating market, has expressed interest in PACE’s figuring capability.

- Points of Contact:
-    -  NASA (Denise Swain; 256/544-8112)
-    -  Corning-OCA Applied Optics (Steve Hoskins; 714/895-1667)
- 1990 SBIR Phase 2;  NAS8-39374

- Marshall Space Flight Center
-   Date of Update:	3/27/98
- Success Story #:  8-005

**Innovation**
- This SBIR project resulted in a rapid, automated, low-cost method       for the figuring of precision aspheric surfaces on fused silica          optical elements.

## Frequency Surface Response: Supporting Flash Flood Decision Making 

- Frequency Surface Response: Supporting Flash Flood Decision Making

## Program goals

- Enhance Flash Flood support with a true hydrologic/hydraulic model simulation.
- Offer QPF driven insight into a basin’s potential response given current basin states.
-  Couple WFO regional expertise and RFC modeling to best serve the local hydrologic needs of the community.

## Concept

- Utilize the Hydrologic-Lab Research Distributed Hydrologic Model (HL-RDHM) to provide connectivity and past event/soil state carryover.
- Compare each cell’s discharge (channel flow) and surface flow (non-channelized flow) to historic distribution of hourly values.  Returns the percentile.
- Display these values in near real-time via the CBRFC web page.
- Over time, work with the WFO to identify the threshold percentiles at which impacts to lives and property occur.

## Concept Cont’d

- Grid of Discharge

- Discharge Exceedence values

- For Each Cell...

- Discharge

- Frequency

- Critical
- Threshold

## Basin HL-RDHM Model Structure

- Snow17

-  Runoff

- SAC-SMA

- Water content in Soil tanks, ET

- Rain +melt

- Kinematic Wave Routing

- surfaceFlow
- Discharge
- Hydrograph

- Snow Pack

- Water Contents at Depth

- FRZ (Sac-HT)

- Surface and subsurface flow

## HL-RDHM Model Hydraulic Methods: Channel and Hill-slope routing (Discharge)

- Real HRAP
- Cell

- Hillslope
- model

- Cell-to-cell channel routing

- From Yu Zhang, 2006

## Why two separate parameters to address cell response?

- Surface Flow – excess, unrouted water (mm/sec), from the HRAP cell. Does this provide information not included in the Channelized flow?
- Discharge – local cell flow plus the upstream flows

## Frequency Discharge Example

- Discharge Percentile

- Discharge

- File:/ss1/epc/gorms/images/Threshold_flow/TFsF_animation/tf_sf_animation.png

## Slide 12

## Improvements

- Incorporates soil, land use, slope and vegetation cover into a calibrated model.
- Adds connectivity to route multiple headwater basin cells into downstream cells.
- Remembers the carryover in soil moisture states from previous events.
- Values are relative to previous response. WFO’s can develop knowledge of their local regional problem areas.

## Cell value time series -- Are Hydrologic Conditions getting better or worse?

## Meeting WFO needs

- Dissemination methods: Stand alone viewer, incorporate within other gridded data products, etc?
- QPF:  Could we incorporate meaningful WFO generate QPF into such a system, and how?
- Ground Truth Impact:  How do we determine the threshold at individual known problem cells?

## Last Weekend’s RF Problems

- RF 11 Work:
- New PA
- Clean choke
- Clean blocker
- Check done on 50 ohm damper loads
- RF 13 Work:
-  New PA
- Checked high voltage cable - ok
- New Choke
- New Blocker Cap
- Vacuumed
- RF 15 Work:
- PA removed and checked then re-installed
- blocker cleaned
- new choke
- High Voltage cable repaired.  (Radiation Damage!!)
- Cleaned
- Only RF 15 was clearly radiation damaged.  It has been hotter in the past than it is now, but we are a bit concerned.  Still proceeding under the assumption that the triple whammy was just bad luck.

## Experimental goals

- To continue to investigate the ** limit in high triangularity double null discharges at high elongation using the recently modified PF1A coil
- To further optimize shape to more closely approach the shape target
- To attempt to minimize the impact of any intrinsic error fields that exist on NSTX, in particular the recently identified error proportional to *I**tf***I**oh*

## Highest  shot requires more shape optimization

- Highest  shot requires more shape optimization

- Triangularity not optimized  ~ 0.6
-   control complicated by the eddy currents during strong current ramp (as expected, but requires run time)
- Elongation ~ 2.5, but
- High  due to large gap  (small minor radius) raising aspect ratio
- Better to make plasma taller

- Troyon plot for shots from XP 502

## Evidence indicates non-rotating low-n mode terminates discharge

- Plasma terminates with rapid thermal collapse
- Evidence of large non-rotating mode which grows
- Locked mode?
- RWM?
- Need MSE during these plasmas to facilitate stability analysis
- Should also analyze lower ** counterparts for comparison

- t = 282ms
- t = 298ms

- n=1 signal from toroidally opposed fast Mirnovs

- Time of thermal collapse

## Error field driving RWM (RFA?)

- Error field observed to scale with *I**oh***I**tf*
- Maximum achievable ***N* decreases with increasing *I**oh***I**tf*
- Motivates investigation of error field mitigation proportional to *I**oh***I**tf*

- Measured and simulated error field due to TF motion within the OH bundle

- Measured ***N* vs. *I**oh***I**tf*

## Required run time

- Shape development
- Increase ** in high ** target plasmas use 122625 with reduced TF (3kG) as target
- Vary current ramp rate over range of 3-6MA/s (5-6 shots)
- Vary HFS gas between 1000-1400 Torr
- Correct shape control for varying eddy current history (if necessary, 3 shots)
- Raise Ip in 100kA steps (3-4shots)
- Perform beam timing scan (3 shots)
- Raise kappa to ~2.4 (1 shot). Repeat Ip rate scan (5 shots)
- Repeat best shot at 3.5kGauss.
- Attempt error field minimization/feedback (another day)
- This effort will benefit greatly from knowledge obtained in other XPs investigating the appropriate phasing and amplitudes for error field reduction (Menard, Sabbagh)
- Error field feedback + Mode feedback

## MODIS contribution to NACP

**MODIS **
**Land break-out**
**Session**
**March 24, 2005**
- Jeff Morisette1jeff.morisette@nasa.gov
- Bill Emanuel2
- 1 NASA Goddard2 NASA HQ

## OUTLINE

- Background and realities
- MODIS-land contribution
- MODIS-land participation in mid-continent intensive campaign(s)
- Conclusions

## Background

- Several MODIS-land team members and associates are involved with NACP in some way
- Specific projects
- Science steering group
- Inter-agency working group
- NACP will rectify “top-down” and “bottom-up” approaches to derive continental carbon budgets.
- “TD w/out BU is unexplained”
- “BU w/out TD is unvalidated”
- (Dave Schimel)
- MODIS-land data contribute significant input for BU modeling as well as for TD analyses.

## Realities

- Little *specific* funding within the MODIS science team for NACP
- No specific funding for an NACP data system
- Wide range of remote sensing/MODIS experience among the NACP funded investigators

## MODIS-land contribution

- Nearly all currently available MODIS land products provide information useful to carbon studies
- Some value-added distribution could help integrate the currently available products into NACP efforts
- Several key products are not currently available but could potentially be derived from MODIS data

## Value-added services

- Mosaics for intensive study areas
- Reprojecting
- Reformation
- Unpacking and filtering QA bits
- Subsetting specific data layers
- LP DAAC and ORNL have tools and the capability, but limited resources
- Could be a test case for the LADS system

## Key products still needed

- Improved agricultural maps
- Crop type
- C3/C4 continuous fields map
- Wetlands map
- Urban areas
- Disturbance map (30+ year scale)
- Forest stand age
- Fire emissions
- 250m LAI/fPAR/NPP products

## MODIS validation opportunities with mid-continent intensive

- SMEX05 experimental area

## Conclusions

- Participation in the mid-west intensive field campaigns as a validation activity seems feasible
- Value-added products could make a big impact but will require juggling limited resources
- Some interesting new products are needed but not currently funded

## Advanced opportunities for catalysis science at the NSLS-II

- Anatoly Frenkel, Yeshiva University

- M.B.J. Roeffaers, et al,
- Nature **2006,** 439, 572

- Mapping the spatial distribution of active sites over a single catalytic crystal (*fluorescence microscopy*)

- Hydrolysis reactions occur along certain crystal edges!

- Single Pt nanoparticle (~ 4nm) collides with the electrode and catalyzes proton reduction
- (~ 1s characteristic time)
- 			X. Xiao and A. J. Bard, JACS Commun., 2007 (in press)

## “Rational design of catalysts remains a pipe dream, because the experimental tools available for monitoring catalysts in action are still, by and large, too rudimentary.” 

- 	Chemical & Engineering News, Feb. 6, 2006

## Location of active sites in nanocatalysis:

- -Single metal ions?
- -Molecules?
- -Nanoparticles?
- Most samples are heterogeneous AND most structure-sensitive techniques give either ensemble average (XRD, XAFS) or have insufficient spatial resolution (TEM)
- Smallest particles (< 100 atoms):
- Competing interactions
- (support interaction, intra-particle relaxation, dynamics, adsorbates)
- Single NP studies promise new opportunities to isolate them

## High flux, nm-scale focusing, high energy cut-off, 0.1 meV energy resolution:

- -In situ structure and dynamics of individual NP (XAFS, DAFS, _nanoprobe_)
- -Kinetics (Time resolved/Quick XAFS/XRD (_3-pole wiggler,_ _damping wiggler_, _nanoprobe_)
- -Studies of catalysts in operational conditions: dilute (0.1-1% loading), high pressure (20 atm)  (_damping wiggler, nanoprobe_)
- -In situ catalytic activity (high energy resolution fluorescence)
- -Short and medium range order (high energy diffraction/PDF)

- What to expect from the NSLS-II?

## XAFS capabilities relevant for catalysis research

- of bimetallic particles:

- Determination of
- nanocluster’s
- size, shape,
- morphology:

## House Price Sustainability

*Bubble, Plateau, or Decline; Market Variations*
- Michelle Dreiman
- Sr. Economist, OFHEO

## Background:  Why do we Care?

- Real estate accounts for **32%** of total household assets; homeownership rate is **68%.**
- Declines in value decrease household wealth and can also lead to increased numbers of delinquencies and defaults (risk to financial institutions).
- Rising home prices increase household wealth for current homeowners, but can shut out future buyers.
- The larger the swings in house prices the greater the potential gains or losses.

## Cycles or Bubbles?

- Housing prices are characterized by cycles, as we tend to see consecutive periods of increase followed by consecutive periods of decline.
- Cycles are the result of expectations and the fundamental determinants of supply and demand.
- Bubbles result when speculation and not fundamentals, is the primary driving force behind price increases.  This can result in extremely rapid appreciation followed by sudden large declines.
- Bubbles traditionally occur at the metropolitan area level, but can also be regionwide (i.e. New England, WSC).

## So What are We Looking at Now?

- -9.0%

- 22.0%

- -11.0%

- 32.0%

*About 1.2% annually*

- 7 yrs up, 5 yrs down

- 3.6% annually

- 2.8% annually

## Regions of Interest

- High appreciation in both upwards cycles was driven by New England and Pacific Census Divisions (**63%** and **53%** house price growth over the past 5 years compared to **38%** nationally).
- Metro areas with most bubble characteristics were San Jose, San Francisco, and Boston (although Boston was much less this time than in the previous cycle).

## Boston

## San Jose

## Preliminary Conclusions

- Patterns of housing appreciation suggest that housing prices are cyclical and that real increases will be followed by real declines.
- While housing is seen as an alternative investment to stocks etc... the data suggest that increases in housing prices will be followed by declines.
- Over the long run, housing is a fairly safe investment.
