Proposed naming convention for all API data

The aim is to use uniform naming convention for all experiments and ME
performed for API project.  We propose to use the following code:

Experiment	Position

Type	1st Location	2nd  Season	3rd + 4th 	5th    Mode	6th 	7th  	8th 

ME-Atlanta	A	S-Summer

W-winter	ME number (01, etc)	M-main

P- 5 min 

B-breath	Under score	Replicate number	Breath: A-pre; B-peak, C-post

ME-Chicago	C	S-Summer

W-winter	ME number	M-main

P- 5 min 

B-breath	Under score	Replicate number	Breath: A-pre; B-peak, C-post

ME-Houston	H	S-Summer

W-winter	ME number	M-main

P- 5 min 

B-breath	Under score	Replicate number	Breath: A-pre; B-peak, C-post; NOx
denuder: D

trailing Vehicle	V	S-Summer

W-winter	Fuel (a,c,h) +  vehicle (t-truck, s-sedan)	MalFunction (F)

Normal (N)	Under score	High (H), Low (L) vent, or coMbined (m)
Background –A; Main-B; Idle-C

Residence w/attached garage	R	S-Summer

W-winter	Fuel (a,c,h) +  vehicle (t-truck, s-sedan)	MalFunction (F)

Normal (N)	Under score	Kichen (K) or Garage(G) location	Background: A;
Main - B

For example: AS02M_1 means Atlanta, summer, ME#2, first replicate. 
HW11B_3B means Houston, winter, ME#11, breath sample, peak

VWasN_HC means trailing vehicle, winter, Atlanta fuel, sedan, normal
mode, high vent, idle.  RSctF_KA means garage, summer, Chicago fuel,
truck, malfunction, kitchen, background
