## Overview 

- Post 9/11 world has much greater focus on preparedness and response issues
- State public health authorities have comprehensive strategies for containing communicable diseases
- Mass transit faces ever greater challenges balancing security, economics and public acceptance
- “North Com” has developed strategies to deploy armed forces within U.S. in response to multiple terrorist attacks
- Continuum of response strategies exist within a legal framework of law and regulation

## Preparedness Landscape

- Preparedness is a “government” function
- But, which government?
- Federal?
- State?
- Local?
- Conflicting jurisdictions, strategies, accountability and resources

## Preparedness

- Citizens look to “government” to take care of them
- But government’s role is generally regulatory and payment driven
- Government does not directly provide many key services except for EMS
- Health care
- Food
- Utilities

## Response

- Effective response to emergency situations requires smooth interaction between public authorities and private sector
- For example, Health care providers need to fully understand what will be expected of them in public health emergencies
- Hospitals are often surprised when told what might occur

## Role of Counsel

- Clients will turn to counsel during emergencies for advice
- May be asked re:
- Government authority parameters
- Impact of having facility “quarantined” by public health authority
- Liability for employee injury/illness issues
- Volunteer management and liability

## Role of Counsel

- Most states have modified laws and regulations regarding emergencies and communicable disease containment
- These efforts continue as new issues emerge
- Counsel needs to be fully versed on these laws and regulations

## Role of Counsel

- Preparedness is relevant to every sector of the economy
- Health care faces significant issues
- Transportation sector can be tool of terrorists, VBIEDs
- Hospitality sector may be used as alternate sites if hospitals are overwhelmed
- Every sector can be involved in responding to emergencies and needs a plan

## Atlantic poison oak Toxicodendron   pubescens P. Mill.Synonyms:  Rhus  acutiloba, R.  pubescens, R. quercifolia, R. radicans,R. toxicarium, R. toxicodendron,  Toxicodendron  compactum,  T. monticola, T.  quercifolium.  Other common names;  eastern poison oak, poison oak.

**MEDICINALLY:**
- Pioneer doctors brewed the leaves into a tea and used it in the treatment of paralysis.
- As a poultice it was applied to any area where herpes was present.
**CULTURALLY:**
- The leaves have a high tannin content.  They were collected after they fell and used as a mixture in making a brown dye.
- When the juice, or sap, was collected it was used as an indelible marking ink.
- The sap was also used as a shoe polish or boot black.
- Western poison oak was discovered by David Douglas (1799-1834) on Vancouver Island.  Douglas fir was named after him.

## Epidemiologic Considerations in Developing a Database for Long-Term Follow-up of Subjects Receiving Gene Transfer Products

- Steven Rosenthal, M.D., M.P.H.
- FDA/CBER/OVRR/DVRPA

## Epidemiologic Criteria for Causal Nature of an Association

- Consistency
- Strength
- Specificity
- Temporal relationship
- Coherence or biologic plausibility

## Study Designs

- Case reports
- Case series
- Case-control study
- Cohort Study
- Randomized clinical trial

## Analytical Studies

| Study design | Advantages | Disadvantages |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cohort study | Can study multiple outcomes
Can study uncommon exposures
Selection bias less likely
Unbiased exposure data
Incidence data available | Possible biased outcome data
Expensive |
| Randomized Clinical Trial | Most convincing design
Only design which controls for unknown or unmeasurable confounders | Most expensive
Logistically most difficult |

## Cohort StudiesProblems

- Populations rates not usually available for populations with the underlying disease.
- Comparison cohorts
- Need to be similar to subject cohort
- Same underlying disease
- Not readily available outside of clinical trials
- For rare outcomes, and small RR, cohort studies are not of value.

## Sample Size Calculations

## Case series/reports

| Study design | Advantages | Disadvantages |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Case series | Easy quantitation of incidence | No control group |
| Case reports | Cheap easy method for hypothesis generation | Cannot be used for hypothesis testing |

## Cases in which case reports can suggest causation

- Outcome is so rare and characteristic
- CCA in young women exposed *in utero* to diethylstilbestrol
- Change in event course is reversible when exposure is withdrawn, and when event returns upon retreatment
- Alopecia following hepatitis B vaccination
- Gene therapy
- Vector persistence
- Vector sequences, and/or gene product in target organ of toxicity.

## Conclusions

- Development of elaborate/detailed database for LTFU of gene therapy for analytic studies to determine causality of adverse events may not be of value, unless
- Events are common in general population, and
- Relative risks are very high
- Simple, LTFU case-series database could be useful to:
- Reveal causality for events that are characteristic and/or biologically plausible
- Generate hypothesis that could be further explored in ad-hoc analytic studies.

## Development of a High Temperature Maximum Bubble Pressure Apparatus For Measuring Surface Tension of Molten Metals DMR-0112792 

**Notes:**
-Thanks for intro
-It’s a pleasure
-Title

##                   Intellectual Merits

- The overall objective of this program is to develop an experimental methodology to measure surface tensions of liquid alloys under controlled oxygen contents in the gas.
- This will be used for characterizing surface tension of melts containing reactive elements such as Al, Cr and Ti. The effect of oxygen potential on the surface tension and surface phases will be elucidated and the results will be used to improve the understanding of surface physical chemistry of metallic melts and to address current industrial problems.

## Principle behind MBP

**Principle behind MBP**

- The pressure needed to form a bubble at the tip of the tube is registered.
- The maximum bubble pressure (P) to form a bubble is related to the surface tension and to the pressure necessary to create a new surface (P ) through the equation:.

## MBP apparatus used for molten metals 

**MBP apparatus used for molten metals **

- (1)   Furnace
- (2)  Zr-oxide capillaries for oxygen monitoring.
- (3)   Pt/Pt-Rh thermocouple
- (4)   Alumina crucible
- (5)   Ambient oxygen-gettered gas
- (6)   Protective alumina tube
- (7)   Pressure transducer.
- (8)   With the help of a gas flow controller
- (9)   Capillary lifting device

## High temperature furnace and controller 

**The MBP developed under this grant  **

- High temperature furnace and controller

- Computer control for gas flow rate, pressure monitoring and temperature control

##                   Broader Impacts

- Two graduate students have been supported by this project and a laboratory is being designed for undergraduate students.
- Collaboration is being established with industrial companies to use the equipment to determine properties that are key for manufacturing primary metals.

## SPRING 2004 RUC CHANGES (13 April 2004)

- 2)  RUC analysis
-  Improve use of surface data by incorporating information on boundary-layer depth.
* **Improves surface dew point and CAPE forecasts (and temperature to a lesser extent)*

- Removed 16Z   26 April  2004

## PBL-based METAR assimilation - Intention

- Use METAR data through PBL depth from 1h fcst

- RUC oper analysis
- 18z 3 Apr 02
- IAD

- x

- Effect of PBL-based
- METAR assimilation

## Occasional ridiculous features were noted in the analyses

## Some of the problems were actually related to long-standing biases

- High CAPE bullseyes
- in locations between
- raob sites.

## + moisture increment added to already  moist profile

- 1-hr
- guess

- Obs.
- Dulles
- sounding

- RUC analysis

## Overview of Changes

- Moisture corrections from METAR obs are applied to only ~ 200 mb above the sfc based on 1-hr PBL fcst (was more in previous version of code but only40 mb in ops)
- Moisture increment values are more limited
- Positive moisture increments are limited if 1-hr forecast shows non-zero convective precip
- T and q increments are now further constrained going from land to water points

## New Version often leads to improved CAPE forecasts

## Biggest Differences at 2-m

- Largest diffs in west

- Minimal impact on slp

## Decreasing Impact Aloft

- 850 mb

- 500 mb

## Sample Analysis Sounding Comparisons

- Both have same sfc dew point value but very different PBL structure

## Downside – Initial Fit to Raobs not as good

- Ops vs. Para

- Obs

## Verification Scores show worse fit to data at 00-hr but no problems by 03

## 2-m stats

## Conclusions

- Slightly modified analysis scheme being tested for the RUC
- Intent is to have more of a relationship between sfc METAR data and the PBL and to limit unreasonable extrapolation between stations

## Carbon-Carbon (C-C) Composites 

- Carbon matrix precursors are coupled with molding operations that permit one- to two-step processing to produce high-density C-C composites. Typical state-of-the-art processing requires up to ten reimpregnation steps.
**Accomplishments**
- The one- to two-step process can reduce C-C composites to well under $50/lb. compared to prices of several hundreds to thousands of dollars per pound for conventional C-C composites.
**Commercialization**
-  	The low cost C-C composite process has been applied to fabricating components for a variety of applications. The applications include aerospace components for reusable launch vehicles, leading edges, rocket/missile nozzles, and automotive components for engines and friction components. These include valves, blocks and pistons, brakes and clutches.
-  	Economical C-C composite prescursors for reinfiltration with metals are utilized for the same aerospace and automotive applications as well as thermal management materials for electronics and heat exchangers.
-  	MER has invested significant capital of its own in the technology.
-  	MER’s capital, plus additional private capital has lead to joint ventures and consortiums for producing C-C components in transportation.

**Government / Science Applications**
- 	The low cost C-C composite technology has led to other government-sponsored R&D contracts for rocket nozzles, thermal management, controlled low-expansion materials and fusion energy applications.
-  	Ultra lightweight space application components for Gossamer and other programs such as solar sails.

## Case 3:Flow Simulation Methodology for Active Flow Control

- Daniel M. Israel and Hermann F. Fasel
- Supported by the AFOSR, F49620-02-1-0122
- NASA LaRC Workshop: CFD Validation of Synthetic Jets and Turbulent Separation Control
- March 31, 2004
- Williamsburg, VA

## Outline

- Motivation
- Flow Simulation Methodology
- Grid and Boundary Conditions
- Results
- Conclusions

## Motivation

- LES requires very fine grid- can be as expensive as DNS
- RANS can’t necessarily capture unsteady flows
- For example, in our 4th order EASM the flow is unsteady, but
- In CFL3D the same case is steady.
- Even if unsteady, the growth rates are underpredicted.
- Hybrid RANS/LES – Zonal Models
- Sharp transition often between two different models
- Fixed boundary between RANS & LES

## Flow Simulation Methodology

- To address theses issues we use the Flow Simulation Methodology (FSM) of Speziale (1997).
- Combines a state-of-the-art RANS closure with a contribution function to adjust the magnitude of the model contribution to the local state of the flow.
- The contribution function adjusts the level of the turbulent stresses in a manner that is local in both time and space.

## FSM Formulation

- Previous experience for this geometry seems to show that two length scales are necessary for the contribution function,
- One to identify the RANS limit, and
- One to identify the DNS limit.

## FSM Formulation

- We use the following contribution function:
- This is motivated by a k-5/3 spectrum. Note that we do not necessarily expect a -5/3 spectrum for this flow.

## Numerical Method

- Preliminary calculations at Re=105 with 4th order explicit code
- CFL restriction for high Re case requires >200,000 steps/chord flow time
- Implicit code required
- CFL3D already has the underlying EASM closure
- Implementation of FSM relatively straight forward

## Grid

**Grid**

- Number of grid points: 901x181x17 (~280,000 points)
- Compare to 108 for the DNS
- 800 points from x/c=-1.0-3.0
- Additional 100 point exponentially stretched outflow buffer

## Boundary Conditions

- No-slip lower wall
- No-stress upper wall
- Periodic in span
- Slot is modeled using a specified transpiration velocity

## Inflow Boundary

- Inflow boundary condition from boundary layer solver
- Profiles compared at x/c=-2.15 (actual inflow x/c=-1)

## Effect of Spanwise Domain Size

## Turbulent Structures

## Turbulent Structures

## Turbulent Structures: FSM vs. DNS

## Forcing Slot

- Flow will exit the slot nearly tangentially
- Flows enters the slot at a steeper angle

## Current and Future Work

- Complete 3-D forced simulations
- Half span simulation with side wall
- Resolution study for 2nd order code

## Conclusions

- The FSM allows for the development of unsteady structures.
- Further post-processing is required to investigate the nature of the FSM structures and the coherent structures present in the DNS.
- The 3-D structures are important for the unforced case.
- The results are identical for several spanwise domain sizes
- The FSM produces excellent results on a relatively coarse grid
- FSM: 901x181x17
- DNS: 2049x321x160 (Dieter)
