## How to Report Program Income When Using the Deduction and Addition Method

## Instructions on the SF-269 

- Line 10c Program Income used in accordance with the deduction alternative.  Enter the amount of program income that was used in accordance with the deduction alternative.
- Program Income used in accordance with other alternatives is entered on lines q, r, and s.

## DEDUCTION METHOD

- 43 CFR 12.65 (g) (1) Deduction. Ordinarily program income shall be deducted from total allowable costs to determine the net allowable costs.  Program income shall be used for current costs unless the Federal agency authorizes otherwise.  Program income which the grantee did not anticipate at the time of the award shall be used to reduce the Federal agency and grantee contributions rather than to increase the funds committed to the project.

## Grant Agreement Deduction – Method Example

## SF-269 DEDUCTION METHOD

- Spent $90,000
- State Share $21,250
- Federal Share $63,750
- Program Income $5,000     Disbursed

## SF-269 – Deduction Method Example

## ADDITION METHOD

- 43 CFR 12.65 (g)(2) Addition.  When authorized, program income may be added to the funds committed to the grant agreement by the Federal agency and the grantee.  The program income shall be used for the purposes and under the conditions of the grant agreement.

## Grant Agreement -Addition Method Example

## SF-269 – Addition Method

- Spent $112,000 Total
- State Share $25,000
- Federal Share $75,000
- Program Income $12,000 (Disbursed)

## SF-269 – Addition Method Example

## UNDISBURSED PROGRAM INCOME

- 	_Per Directors Order No. 168, Section 8 _
- 	What may a State do with program income if it exceeds the amount that can be applied to the grant from which it was earned?
- 	If more program income is generated by the grantee during the grant period than can be deducted, added, or applied to meeting cost sharing requirements, then that excess program income may be applied, as appropriate, to a subsequent grant that has purposes consistent with the grant that generated the excess program income.

## Grant Agreement Deduction Method (Cost Overrun)

## SF-269 – DEDUCTION (COST OVERRUN)

- Spent $150,000
- State Share $23,750 + $50,000 (Cost Overrun)
- Federal Share $71,250
- Program Income $5,000       Disbursed

## SF-269 – Deduction Cost Overrun Method Example

## SF-269 – Deduction Cost Method (Cost Overrun) Cont.

- Program Income is deducted from the total outlays after the cost overruns have been deducted because you can not increase the funds committed to the grant agreement ($100,000).  The addition method allows program income to be added to the funds committed to the grant agreement by the Federal agency and the grantee.

## Undergraduate Research Solves Thickness Exponent PuzzleD. P. Birnie, III (PI), Rutgers University, DMR 0429220

- D. P. Birnie, III, S. K. Hau, D. S. Kamber, and D. M. Kaz, *submitted, J. Mat. Sci: Materials in Electronics*

- Three undergraduate students participated in a research project to help understand why exponents derived from coating-thickness data often deviate from their ideal value (-1/2).

- All the students involved in this project have gone to excellent graduate schools for further study: Kamber  **UC Santa Barbara**, Hau  **U. Washington**, and Kaz  **Harvard**.

- Standard theory describes spin-coating as a two-step process: first _flow_ dominated, then _evaporation_ dominated. The “cross-over” between these stages determines the final coating thickness. The ramping rate controls when the cross-over point occurs – and influences the final thickness. Note exponent differences shown here:

- We included the practical aspect that standard equipment ramps up *gradually* to the desired speed – a rate that is, unfortunately, seldom quoted by researchers.

## Predictions of Solar Wind Speed and IMF Polarity Using Near-Real-Time Solar Magnetic Field Updates

**Predictions of Solar Wind Speed and IMF Polarity Using Near-Real-Time Solar Magnetic Field Updates**

**C. “Nick” Arge **
- University of Colorado/CIRES & NOAA/SEC
**Vic Pizzo**
- NOAA/SEC

**Abstract**

**Reliable predictions of the background solar wind speed and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) polarity can be directly used to improve forecasts of high-speed streams, current sheet crossings, and many other space weather applications. Our application of the Wang & Sheeley model provides solar wind speed and IMF polarity based on current daily photospheric magnetic field measurements (modified by a number of correction techniques) from multiple ground based solar observatories. Using WIND and ACE data for comparisons, we find that the model makes successful predictions of background solar wind conditions from about a year before the 1996 solar minimum to at least 3 years into the ascending phase of the solar cycle. **

**Polar Field Correction**

**Verification**

- Our modified version of the Wang & Sheeley model makes successful predictions of the background solar wind speed and IMF polarity during the first three years of the ascending phase of the solar cycle, extending the period of validity of the model beyond the minimum phase.
- The statistical results presented here provide only a _lower limi_t to the actual agreement between the _predictions_ and "true" _background_ parameters, since transients where not taken into account.
- Quality control of the input magnetic data is essential for improving the predictive success of the model.
- Joint use of data from multiple solar observatories can (potentially) improve the predictive reliability of the model.

**Summary**

**1)** 	The solar wind velocities are first assigned at source surface using the following empirical function relating* ****V*** with* ****f******s*****:**
- 		For **WSO**:
*V*(*f**s*) = 285 + 650/(*f**s*)5/9 (km s-1)
- or
- If *f**s*  1.9, then *V(f**s*) = 725 km s-1
- For **MWO**:
*V*(*f**s*) = 250 + 675/(*f**s*)1/2.2 (km s-1)
- or
- If *f**s*  2.3, then *V*(*f**s*) = 725 km s-1
**2) ****	**The solar wind is then propagated from source surface to the Earth using radial propagation and a simple method to account for stream interactions.

**Modifications Made to the Original Model**

## Highlight: Nanocoatings Harvest Water from Fog

- R. **Cohen **(MIT) and M. **Rubner **(MIT)
- This work was supported primarily by the **MRSEC Program** of the National Science Foundation under award number **DMR-0213282.**

- In the Namib Desert in Namibia, Africa, a tiny beetle is able to convert microscopic droplets of water present in a morning fog into larger sized droplets that are directed into the beetle’s mouth to quench a desert thirst.   Inspired by the remarkable accomplishment of the tiny Stenocara beetle, members of **IRG-II** of the **MIT MRSEC** have created a synthetic mimic of the beetle's unique surface pattern of water-attracting (hydrophilic) and super water-repelling (superhydrophobic) regions (Zhai et al. *Nano Letters* 6(6), 1213-1217, 2006).   Using a simple patterning scheme, they were able to create a superhydrophobic surface patterned with super water-attracting (superhydrophilic) regions, thus going beyond the beetle’s unique surface architecture.  Such patterns of extreme wetting behavior can be used to manipulate the flow of water on surfaces.  Potential applications include fog- and dew-harvesting materials for arid climates, open channel microfluidic devices and microarrays for diagnostic testing.  In this coming year, local TV stations all over the U.S. will air a DBIS science news video spot focusing on this research.  Discoveries and Breakthroughs Inside Science (DBIS) is a syndicated television science news segment produced by The American Institute of Physics with support from the National Science Foundation.

**Figure.**   Photographs showing **(a)** small droplets of water collected on hydrophilic regions of a patterned superhydrophobic surface after spraying with a fine water mist, and **(b)** sideview photograph of a section of the same patterned film illustrating the coexistence of superhydrophobic regions (water remains as essentially spherical droplets that roll on the surface) and water collecting hydrophilic regions (water is pinned at these sites).  Scale bar in bottom photo equals 750 microns..

## Environmental Remediation Science DivisionPART Review

- Long-term measure: by 2015 ERSD will “provide sufficient scientific understanding to allow a significant fraction of DOE sites to incorporate coupled biological, chemical and physical processes into decision making for environmental remediation and long-term stewardship”.

- ERSD supports fundamental scientific research that underpins the Department’s needs in **environmental remediation** and **long-term stewardship.**

## Task 1:  Assess progress towards LTM

- • The research program is aligned with DOE Program needs
- • Basic science calls are consistent with the Strategic Plan
- • Has assessed its progress toward LTM through annual measure. The long-term measure is ambitious and the *path to completion will not be linear*.
- • Has a searchable database of funded projects.
- • COV evaluation in ‘04 found the program well aligned with mission, has catalyzed many interlab collaborations, and...is of highest quality ...and much at cutting edge.
- • _That progress toward the LTM over the past three years has been excellent_.

## ERSD Research Strategy Flow Chart

## Task 2: Assess appropriateness of PART measures

- The committee finds the ERSD PART measure, and the annual measures, to be reasonable and appropriate.
- • The LTM includes definitions (from Excellent to Poor). This ios best quantified by a broad review of ERSD research and EM remediation strategies, as simple statistical approaches will likely be misleading.

## Task 3: Assess how well positioned to make progress

- The overall achievement  towards the LTM is possible and a reasonable pathway towards achievement exists and is being implemented
- • Success of field research center (FRC) and expansion of FRC’s in line with LTM.
- • Documentation of _use_ of science findings at several DOE sites and contaminant problems: Hanford, Rocky Flats, Rifle, Savannah River, Oak Ridge (bullets on pg 8-9)

## Findings & Recommendations

**The review committee finds:**
- ­ The ERSD long-term measure is appropriate;
- ­ BER’s progress toward the LTM over the past three years has been excellent;
-  Overall achievement of the LTM is possible and a reasonable pathway toward that achievement exists and is being implemented.
**The review committee recommends:**
**- **Strategic plan provides clear and well-organized approach to meeting goals
-  BER identify sites to which LTM should apply (define denominator)
** **Seek opportunities to provide supporting discussion
-  Maintain** **the ERSD on-line project database
-  Continue to post quality, technical reports of quarterly progress.
-  Focus on fundamental science but enhance efforts to involve DOE Program Offices.
-  Consider impacts of any budget reductions, and appropriately revise measures. Though the diversity of sites will require broadening of field research.

## “Minimum” L&P for transverse spin physics

- xF & pT dependence of AN (& near side di-hadrons)		~3/pb 50%
- Gluon Sivers function with di-jet/away side di-hadron		~10/pb 50%
- Transversity * CollinsFF/IFF from jet/near side di-hadrons	~30/pb 50%
- Transversity from jet/hadron ATT				~100/pb 70%
- Transversity from DY 					~1000/pb 85%

-  It’s hard to set “Minimum” : Asymmetries are proportional to multiple of 2 unknown functions, not just one.  (Belle results in 1 year or so?)
-  Multiple physics goals & channels with sliding requirements
-  Intermediate goals as L&P develops
-  PHENIX and STAR are independent, in principle
-      (overhead is 1-2 shifts to tune machine with different settings?)
- Average 1/3~1/4 of beam time to do transverse spin physics  (L:T=2:1 ~ 3:1)?
- Akio (and discussion with Matthias and Les)

## EPA-specific UDDI Taxonomies

- Howard Tsai – EPA
- John Lavery – CSC
- April 24, 2006

## Agenda

- Taxonomy – A Definition
- Taxonomies and UDDI
- EPA UDDI Taxonomy Structure and Example
- Next Steps

## Taxonomy – A Definition

- What do we mean by Taxonomy1?
- Taxonomy (from Greek *taxis* meaning arrangement or division and *nomos* meaning law) is the science of classification according to a pre-determined system, with the resulting catalog used to provide a conceptual framework for discussion, analysis, or information retrieval
- What makes a _good_ Taxonomy?
- Separates elements of a group into subgroups that are mutually exclusive, unambiguous, and taken together, include all possibilities
- Should be simple, easy to remember, and easy to use

- 1 Source:  W*hatis.com*

## Taxonomies and UDDI

- UDDI Taxonomies
- Are the classification lists or systems used for the published services
- Services may belong to many taxonomies
- By default the UDDI registry comes with 60+ taxonomies
- Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS)
- Universal Standard Product and Service Classification (Product Taxonomy)
- Should reflect the service consumer’s agenda
- May need different taxonomies for different user “groups”
- Internal users may find services using known lines of service
- Public or Partner users may need a more generic nomenclature

## Taxonomies and UDDI (Cont’d)

- EPA UDDI Taxonomies should be EPA-centric
- Two classification schemes are being proposed
***EPA Organizational Structure***
- Expert EPA users fully familiar with who provides what services
***Environmental Interests***
- Geared toward non-expert users
- Based upon the EPA’s Terminology Reference System (TRS)
- TRS has been used to generate a keyword list to support the searching capabilities of the Environmental Data Registry (EDR) and can provide keyword generation capabilities for other Agency Web resources, i.e., UDDI
- Uses EPA Controlled Vocabulary (Version 2.7.7 rev. 1/4/05)

## UDDI – General Taxonomy Structure

## UDDI – Taxonomy Example

## Wrap-up and Closure

- Next Steps
- Identify and remove irrelevant “out-of-box” taxonomies
- Install EPA-specific taxonomies
- Map Existing UDDI Services, etc., to new taxonomies
- Questions/Comments/Discussion

## International Z39.50 Profile for Searching Virtual Catalogues

- Presentation by
- Barbara Shuh
- Information Analysis and Standards
- National Library of Canada

- Z39.50 Tutorial        					10 August 1999

**Notes:**
Session 2	Introduction to the ISO Interlibrary Loan Protocol
Close to 20 years ago, when work began on the standardizing system to system communications through OSI (Open Systems Interconnection), so that disparate systems could talk to each other, interlibrary loan messaging was one computer application where it was identified that such standardization could be of benefit.
Interlibrary Loan activity, by its nature, always requires communication between two parties, the borrower and the lender.  (The Borrower sending a request, asks Can I borrow this from you? or Can you supply me with a copy?  And in response, the potential lender or supplier may reply in the affirmative and provide the item requested, or in the negative, giving the reason why it can't be supplied, sometimes sending it on to a more likely source).

## Studies on Z39.50 Basic Searching of Bib. Systems

- Indicate Need for Agreement on:
- search indexes supported
- search attributes supported
- semantics for keyword searching
- holding information provided
- set of attributes used in configuration of clients
- semantics for specifying key words

## Why International?

- Reluctance of vendors to develop profile specs for multiple national or consortial profiles.
- National Library of Canada convened group to define international profile

## Meetings

- 2 meetings with ZIG in 1998
- not the right mix; needed input from users, not implementors
- 2 teleconferences held thus far in 1999
- March and May
- connecting Canada, U.S., U.K., Australia...
- Goal:  complete development by Dec. 1999.

## Basic Profile

- Searching MARC-based library catalogues
- using basic Bib-1 attributes
- Not excluding, but delaying coverage of other functions
- support of cross-domain searching and retrieval
- implementation of GRS
- searching holdings of museums and archives

## Building on Existing Work

- Working with Bill Moen (TZIG)
- Internationalize existing work
- Z Texas Profile
- based on earlier profiles:
- Models, vCuc, ONE
- 4 discussion papers on outstanding issues

## Outstanding Issues:

- Definition of title and subject searches (Judith Pearce)
- Draft framework for holdings (Judith Pearce)
- Issues re: how to handle a follow-up search after a Scan (Janifer Gatenby)
- Clarification of the use of truncation and completeness attributes  (Joe Zeeman)

## Next Step

- Meeting at Bath, 15-17 August 1999
- hosted by Dr. Paul Miller, Interoperability Focus, UKOLN
- draft new Z39.50 International Interoperability  Profile document
- explore extending Profile beyond description of solely bibliographic resources
