the Department of Defense (DOD) has experienced some problems in timely delivery of parachute orders from industry and
has been concerned about the ability of the U.S. Army to procure parachute systems quickly in a time of national need. A
detailed assessment of the health and competitiveness of the industry, specifically addressing its ability to meet future DOD
needs, was requested by the U.S. Army Soldier Biological and Chemical Command (SBCCOM), a subordinate unit of the U.S.
Army Materiel Command (AMC). The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, was asked to conduct
the assessment.

on the flow field and on the aerodynamic coefficients. The unsteady jet is shown to substantially alter the flow field both near
the jet and the base region of the projectile that in turn affects the forces and moments even at zero degree angle of attack.
The results have shown the potential of computational fluid dynamics to provide insight into the jet interaction flow fields and
provided guidance as to the locations and sizes of the jets to generate the maximum control authority to maneuver a projectile
to hit its target with precision.

bay of a C-130 aircraft in flight. This analysis utilizes the USAF Beggar code and incorporates full physics effects as well as
aerodynamic loading assuming an inviscid aircraft and viscous store for a time-accurate solution. Both an immediate and time
varying application of the parachute force are utilized as well as two different ordnance body styles at zero and 5 degrees AOA
with the store placed on centerline and offset in the cargo bay. The time accurate parachute model is based on empirical data
and more closely follows the force fall off as the parachute slows down during the extraction process. Both store body styles
were successfully extracted from the cargo bay without contacting any portion of the delivery aircraft, following a safe
trajectory down and away from all of the release conditions. The extraction took 1.7 seconds with the immediate application
of the parachute force and 2.1 seconds when the time varying model was applied. The maximum roll seen during an extraction
was 13 degrees, which was the largest movement on any axis.

Cohesion has long been a core concept in psychology and sociology, and has garnered a great deal of attention by both
Organizational and Sports Psychology in the past decade. Although the U.S. Army has increasingly viewed cohesion as a key
to the success of combat operations, a comprehensive review of the cohesion literature yielded few studies specifically
addressing the construct in military rotary=wing aircrews. The purpose of this review was to examine the Organizational and
Sports Psychology bodies of literature from the past decade to identify a set of characteristics associated with cohesive teams
that can readily be applied to the Army rotary-wing aviation environment. The primary characteristics gleaned from this
research are summarized, and a 4-dimension description of cohesion is presented. Suggestions for building cohesive Army
aviation units are offered. In addition, an annotated bibliography of the key studies from which these dimensions emerged is
provided.

This paper presents a strategic-level examination of the transportation industry -- an industry vital to national prosperity
and security. Because the defense sector relies on commercial transportation for both peacetime activities and for power
projection, senior military leaders must understand the global transportation industry and the environment in which the private
sector operates. They must also assess the role of government in determining transportation policy, as federal, state, and local
agencies regulate every mode of this industry. While the U.S. transportation industry functions well today, the industry must
address several challenges, particularly in light of forecasts that global trade will double by 2020. Issues common across all
modes of transportation include the growth of intermodal transport, the capital-intensive nature of the industry structure, the
need to carefully focus technological investment, planning for infrastructure capacity, replacing an aging workforce, and
coping with uncertain fuel costs. Security concerns following the terrorist attacks of September 11 require transportation
leaders to regularly conduct risk assessments and provide additional security when warranted. These initiatives have been
prudently balanced with the need to provide reliable, cost-effective transportation to fuel the economic engine of the USA.
After defining the industry in terms of each of the five different modes (i.e.,shipping, trucking, railroads, air, and pipelines),
this report reviews the industry’s current conditions, challenges, outlook, and government roles and regulations. Also included
are three essays on subjects current to the industry: Aviation Treaties, Short Sea Shipping, and Tanker-Civil Reserve Air Fleet
(CRAF). Given what the authors learned firsthand from government and private industry leaders, they conclude that the U.S.
transportation industry is generally in good health and should remain so for the foreseeable future. 7

Safer Aviation Materials Tested

A series of thermally stable polymer samples were tested. These materials are called low heat release materials and are
designed for aircraft interior decorative materials. The materials are designed to give off a minimum amount of noxious gases
when heated, which increases the possibility that people can escape from a burning aircraft. New cabin materials have suitably
low heat release so that fire does not spread, toxic chemicals are not given off, and the fire-emergency escape time for crew
and passengers is lengthened. These low heat-release materials have a variety of advantages and applications: interiors for
ground-based facilities, interiors of space vehicles, and many commercial fire-protection environments. A microscale
combustion calorimeter at the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Technical Center tested NASA Langley Research
Center materials samples. The calorimeter is shown. A sharp, quantitative, and reproducible heat-release-rate peak is obtained
in the microscale heat-release-rate test. The newly tested NASA materials significantly reduced the heat release capacity and
total heat release. The thermal stability and flammability behavior of the samples was very good. The new materials
demonstrated a factor of 4 reduction in total heat release over ULTEM (a currently used material). This information is provided
in the following barchart. In other tests, the materials showed greater than a factor 9 reduction in heat-release capacity over
ULTEM. The newly tested materials were developed for low dielectric constant, low color, and good solubility. A scale up of
the material samples is needed to determine the repeatability of the performance in larger samples. Larger panels composed
of the best candidate materials will be tested in a larger scale FAA Technical Center fire facility. The NASA Glenn Research
Center, Langley (Jeff Hinkley), and the FAA Technical Center (Richard Lyon) cooperatively tested these materials for the
Accident Mitigation aspects of Fire Prevention under NASA’s Aviation Safety Program.

Communications technologies are being developed to address safety issues during aviation travel. Some of these
technologies enable the aircraft to be in constant bidirectional communications with necessary systems, people, and other
aircraft that are not currently in place today. Networking technologies, wireless datalinks, and advanced avionics techniques
are areas of particular importance that the NASA Glenn Research Center has contributed. Glenn, in conjunction with the
NASA Ames Research Center, NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, and NASA Langley Research Center, is investigating
methods and applications that would utilize these communications technologies. In mid-June 2000, the flight readiness of the
network and communications technologies were demonstrated via a simulated aircraft. A van simulating an aircraft was
equipped with advanced phased-array antennas (Advanced Communications/Air Traffic Management (AC/ATM) Advanced
Air Transportation Technologies (AATT) project) that used commercial Ku-band satellite communications to connect Glenn,
Dryden, and Ames in a combined system ground test. This test simulated air-ground bidirectional transport of real-time digital
audio, text, and video data via a hybrid network configuration that demonstrated the flight readiness of the network and
communications technologies. Specifically, a Controller Pilot Data Link Communications application was used with other
applications to demonstrate a multiprotocol capability via Internet-protocol encapsulated ATN (Aeronautical
Telecommunications Network) data packets. The significance of this combined ground test is its contribution to the Aero
Information Technology Base Program Level I milestone (Software Technology investment area) of a real-time data link for
the National Airspace System. The objective of this milestone was to address multiprotocol technology applicable for real-time
data links between aircraft, a satellite, and the ground as well as the ability to distribute flight data with multilevel priorities
among several sites.

AVs must be able to cooperate to coordinate sensor assignments in the most efficient way possible. The environments in which
such teams are deployed are spatially complex, introducing additional uncertainty arising from perceptual occlusions and the
like. In addition to target tracking, we also plan to develop distributed algorithms for dynamically clustering vehicles around
objects of interest (e.g. to protect a convoy). Existing approaches to coordinating the activities of AVs have focused on
essentially 2D environments.

static/dynamic approach improves the performance of the damage identification, and the ULS increases the effectiveness of
the detection at low modes. In general, the PVDF sensor system is good for acquiring several low curvature mode shapes;
while the SLV system can generate higher displacement modes. Utilizing the advantages of each measurement system, the
proposed identification algorithms have great potential for viable SHM products, e.g., the PVDF sensor system for on-board
and the SLV system for portable on-site monitoring. The proposed sensor systems and developed identification techniques
pave the foundation for further refinement of the dynamics-based method, field implementation and commercial development.

Circulation control technology uses tangential blowing around a rounded trailing edge or a leading edge to change the
force and moment characteristics of an aerodynamic body. This technology has been applied to circular cylinders, wings,
helicopter rotors, and even to automobiles for improved aerodynamic performance. Only limited research has been conducted
on the acoustic of this technology. Since wing flaps contribute to the environmental noise of an aircraft, an alternate blown
high lift system without complex mechanical flaps could prove beneficial in reducing the noise of an approaching aircraft.
Thus, in this study, a direct comparison of the acoustic characteristics of high lift systems employing a circulation control wing
configuration and a conventional wing flapped configuration has been made. These results indicate that acoustically, a
circulation control wing high lift system could be considerably more acceptable than a wing with conventional mechanical
flaps.

in unison, but only over a limited range of CC jet momentum. Operating the nacelle inlet and exit CC devices together proved
very effective in reducing peak ground plane static pressure, while maintaining static thrust. The Morphing Nacelle concept
proved effective at enhancing off-design performance of the model; however, additional investigation is necessary to
generalize the results.

Numerical predictions of the lift augmentation and circulation control have been presented for a NCCR 1510-7607N
airfoil using Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations. Computations have been carried out for an airfoil at 0
angle-of-attack with the Reynolds number (based on chord length, c) of 5.45 x 10(exp 5). The effects of trailing edge wall jets
have been studied and two different blowing rates have been simulated to show the effect of the jet momentum on the lift
characteristics. Computations have been carried out for a fixed slot height (h/c = 0.003). Numerical solutions obtained using
kappa-omega RANS model are compared with experimental results. The results show very good agreement of the pressure
and the lift coefficients with the experimental values, at the low blowing rate case, while showing reasonable agreement at the
high blowing ratio.

The Professional Helicopter Pilot Guide is organized into a topic format style. Each chapter provides a complete
discussion of the topic. As such, there exists some duplicate discussion or description of material from chapter to chapter. This
was done such that as a reference source, the reader can consult any given topic and receive all of the pertinent information,
rather than be referred back and forth to other chapters for needed information to fully understand the topic in question. This
document is an introduction to the arena of wildland firefighting, as it applies to the helicopter pilot. For the helicopter to be
a fully effective tool in fire suppression it is essential that pilots work closely with the individuals involved in management
and use of helicopters. These people are primarily the helicopter manager and the crew, but may include any member of the
firefighting team. A helicopter is a valuable and efficient fire fighting resource available to the wildland fire service. To attain
the highest efficiency, close cooperation must take place between the pilot and incident management personnel.

AH-64 Apache helicopter pilots fly the aircraft using a monocular helmet-mounted display that provides imagery from
two separate forward-looking infrared sensors mounted on the nose of the aircraft. Studies have documented complaints of
fatigue, headaches, and visual problems associated with the use of this sighting system. The goal of this study were 1)to
quantify possible flight-induced fatigue in Apache aviators and 2)to evaluate minimally intrusive neurophysiologic measures
of fatigue for potential use in operational environments. Methods: Using a pre-post design, we assessed self-reported levels
of alertness, physical, cognitive, and visual fatigue and ocular indices of fatigue obtained using an instrument specifically
designed to capture various eye responses. Fifty-three aviators contributed data to this study. Results: Significant differences
in all pre- and postflight ocular responses were observed. Pupil size and constriction latency increased while constriction
amplitude and saccadic velocity decreased. Significant pre- and postflight differences also were seen on all self-report
measures. Pilots reported less alert and more fatigued following flight. Conclusions: We found that flight in an AH-64 Apache
was a significant factor in producing changes in ocular and self-report measures similar to those produced by sleep loss.

Swarming Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are the future of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR).
Swarms of hundreds of these vehicles, each equipped with multiple sensors, will one day fill the skies over hostile areas. As
the sensors collect hundreds of gigabytes of data, telemetry data links will be unable to transmit the complete data picture to
the ground in real time. The collected data will be stored on board the UAVs and selectively downloaded through queries
issued from analysts on the ground. Analysts expect to find relevant sensor data within the collection of acquired sensor data.
This expectation is not a quantified value, rather a confidence that this relevant data exists. An expectation of the likely quality
of the available sensor information is determined by the user through the use of the methods and tools developed in this thesis.
This work develops swarm coverage analysis models using position in time data from the swarm. With these models, a
geometric analysis of the swarm is conducted that shows analysts when and where the swarm likely collected sensor data most
relevant to a need. Convex hulls are used to calculate areas of coverage as well as swarm and sensor densities. Target profiling
algorithms are developed that show target coverage over time from the swarm for each sensor type. Target-centric and
sensor-centric analyses allow analysts to quickly determine where individual swarm agents were relative to a target at any
point during the mission. Finally a series of visualizations of the swarm and targets are created that allow the analyst to view
swarm activity from the perspective of individual swarm members or targets.

Feasibility of Actively Cooled Silicon Nitride Airfoil for Turbine Applications Demonstrated

Nickel-base superalloys currently limit gas turbine engine performance. Active cooling has extended the temperature
range of service of nickel-base superalloys in current gas turbine engines, but the margin for further improvement appears
modest. Therefore, significant advancements in materials technology are needed to raise turbine inlet temperatures above 2400
F to increase engine specific thrust and operating efficiency. Because of their low density and high-temperature strength and
thermal conductivity, in situ toughened silicon nitride ceramics have received a great deal of attention for cooled structures.
However, the high processing costs and low impact resistance of silicon nitride ceramics have proven to be major obstacles
for widespread applications. Advanced rapid prototyping technology in combination with conventional gel casting and
sintering can reduce high processing costs and may offer an affordable manufacturing approach. Researchers at the NASA
Glenn Research Center, in cooperation with a local university and an aerospace company, are developing actively cooled and
functionally graded ceramic structures. The objective of this program is to develop cost-effective manufacturing technology
and experimental and analytical capabilities for environmentally stable, aerodynamically efficient, foreign-object-damage-
resistant, in situ toughened silicon nitride turbine nozzle vanes, and to test these vanes under simulated engine conditions.
Starting with computer aided design (CAD) files of an airfoil and a flat plate with internal cooling passages, the permanent
and removable mold components for gel casting ceramic slips were made by stereolithography and Sanders machines,
respectively. The gel-cast part was dried and sintered to final shape. Several in situ toughened silicon nitride generic airfoils
with internal cooling passages have been fabricated. The uncoated and thermal barrier coated airfoils and flat plates were
burner rig tested for 30 min without and with air cooling. Without cooling, the surface temperature of the flat plate reached
approximately 2350 F. Starting with computer aided design (CAD) files of an airfoil and a flat plate with internal cooling
passages, the permanent and removable mold components for gel casting ceramic slips were made by stereolithography and
Sanders machines, respectively. The gel-cast part was dried and sintered to final shape. Several in situ toughened silicon nitride
generic airfoils with internal cooling passages have been fabricated. The uncoated and thermal barrier coated airfoils and flat
plates were burner rig tested for 30 min without and with air cooling. Without cooling, the surface temperature of the flat plate
reached approximately 2350 F. With cooling, the surface temperature decreased to approximately 1910 F--a drop of
approximately 440 F. This preliminary study demonstrates that a near-net-shape silicon nitride airfoil can be fabricated and
that silicon nitride can sustain severe thermal shock and the thermal gradients induced by cooling and, thus, is a viable
candidate for cooled components.

NASA’s Ultra Efficient Engine Technology (UEET) program features advanced aeropropulsion technologies that include
highly loaded turbomachinery, an advanced low-NOx combustor, high-temperature materials, intelligent propulsion controls,
aspirated seal technology, and an advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) design tool to help reduce airplane drag. A
probabilistic system assessment is performed to evaluate the impact of these technologies on aircraft fuel burn and NOx
reductions. A 300-passenger aircraft, with two 396-kN thrust (85,000-pound) engines is chosen for the study. The results show
that a large subsonic aircraft equipped with the UEET technologies has a very high probability of meeting the UEET Program
goals for fuel-burn (or equivalent CO2) reduction (15% from the baseline) and LTO (landing and takeoff) NOx reductions
(70% relative to the 1996 International Civil Aviation Organization rule). These results are used to provide guidance for
developing a robust UEET technology portfolio, and to prioritize the most promising technologies required to achieve UEET
program goals for the fuel-burn and NOx reductions.

Fan Flutter Analysis Capability Enhanced

The trend in the design of advanced transonic fans for aircraft engines has been toward the use of complex
high-aspect-ratio blade geometries with a larger number of blades and higher loading. In addition, integrally bladed disks or
blisks are being considered in fan designs for their potential to reduce manufacturing costs, weight, and complexity by
eliminating attachments. With such design trends, there is an increased possibility within the operating region of part-speed
stall flutter (self-excited vibrations) that is exacerbated by the reduced structural damping of blisk fans. To verify the
aeroelastic soundness of the design, the NASA Glenn Research Center is developing and validating an accurate aeroelastic
prediction and analysis capability. Recently, this capability was enhanced significantly as described here.

mathematical models of both the flight vehicle and the wind tunnel model configurations have been conducted. Static
aeroelastic characterizations of the flight vehicle and wind tunnel model have been produced in the transonic regime and at
low supersonic Mach numbers. The flight vehicle has been analyzed using linear aerodynamic theory and transonic small
disturbance theory. Analyses of the wind-tunnel model were performed using only linear methods. Research efforts conducted
through these analyses include defining regions of the test space where transonic effects play an important role and
investigating transonic similarity. A comparison of these aeroelastic analyses for the AAW flight vehicle is presented in this
paper. Results from a study of transonic similarity are also presented. Data sets from these analyses include pressure
distributions, stability and control derivatives, control surface effectiveness, and vehicle deflections.

Persistent structures in the turbulent boundary layer are located and analyzed. The data are taken from flight experiments
on large commercial aircraft. An interval correlation technique is introduced which is able to locate the structures. The Morlet
continuous wavelet is shown to not only locates persistent structures but has the added benefit that the pressure data are
decomposed in time and frequency. To better understand how power is apportioned among these structures, a discrete Coiflet
wavelet is used to decompose the pressure data into orthogonal frequency bands. Results indicate that some structures persist
a great deal longer in the TBL than would be expected. These structure contain significant power and may be a primary source
of vibration energy in the airframe.

The TIGA Pilot Project was initiated in response to the demanding need for highly precise height coordinates and their
changes with time at tide gauge benchmarks. TIGA was formally established during the 16th IGS Governing Board Meeting
in Nice (April 2001). For the first time it is not the intention of the IGS to provide results with a very low latency, but to have
as many stations included as possible. The primary product of the service is time series of coordinates for analyzing vertical
motions of Tide Gauges (TG) and Tide Gauge Benchmarks (TGBM). All products will be made public to support and
encourage other applications, e.g. sea level studies. In particular, the products of the service will facilitate the distinction
between absolute and relative sea level changes by accounting for the vertical uplift of the station, and are, therefore, an
important contribution to climate change studies. The service may further contribute to the calibration of satellite altimeters
and other oceanographic activities. The pilot project will operate for a period of three years, from 2001 to 2004. After this
period the IGS Governing Board will evaluate the project and decide whether or not this activity should become a regular IGS
service function.

firings. This resulted in an unusually large amount of pyroshock data. Typically, only one or two pyroshock test firings are
performed for a spacecraft mission. Because of the size of this separation system shock database, engineers were able to
perform unique statistical analyses to characterize the distribution of the test data. For example, it was proven that the shock
data follow a lognormal distribution, a concept often assumed but rarely proven. The test-to-test repeatability of the shock
source level was analyzed, and the effects of various test configurations and separation nut production lots were examined and
quantified. Engineers investigated the change in shock level as the shock traveled from the spacecraft separation interface to
the avionics components of the upper stage and analyzed the effects of the structural fidelity (simulator versus real) of the
components and their weight on vibrational response. In addition, the shock attenuation with distance and across joints was
quantified and compared with concepts originally generated in 1970, and the effects of separation nut preload and firing
sequences effects were examined. Because of this EOS shock testing and the analyses performed at NASA Lewis, a significant
amount of new information on pyroshock and its characteristics is now available to the aerospace industry. We hope that this
information will help future spacecraft test planners to perform better and cheaper spacecraft separation shock tests and to
better understand their test data.

Vibration-Based Method Developed to Detect Cracks in Rotors During Acceleration Through Resonance
Sawicki, Jerzy T.; Baaklini, George Y.; Gyekenyesi, Andrew L.; Research and Technology 2003; May 2004; 4 pp.; In English;
No Copyright; Avail: CASI; A01, Hardcopy
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in developing rotating machinery shaft crack-detection
methodologies and online techniques. Shaft crack problems present a significant safety and loss hazard in nearly every
application of modern turbomachinery. In many cases, the rotors of modern machines are rapidly accelerated from rest to
operating speed, to reduce the excessive vibrations at the critical speeds. The vibration monitoring during startup or shutdown
has been receiving growing attention (ref. 1), especially for machines such as aircraft engines, which are subjected to frequent
starts and stops, as well as high speeds and acceleration rates. It has been recognized that the presence of angular acceleration
strongly affects the rotor’s maximum response to unbalance and the speed at which it occurs. Unfortunately, conventional
nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods have unacceptable limits in terms of their application for online crack detection.
Some of these techniques are time consuming and inconvenient for turbomachinery service testing. Almost all of these
techniques require that the vicinity of the damage be known in advance, and they can provide only local information, with
no indication of the structural strength at a component or system level. In addition, the effectiveness of these experimental
techniques is affected by the high measurement noise levels existing in complex turbomachine structures. Therefore, the use
of vibration monitoring along with vibration analysis has been receiving increasing attention.

Unsteady ejectors are currently under investigation for use in some pulse-detonation-engine-based propulsion systems.
Experimental measurements made in the past, and recently at the NASA Glenn Research Center, have demonstrated that thrust
augmentation can be enhanced considerably when the driver is unsteady. In ejector systems, thrust augmentation is defined
as = T(sup Total)/T(sup j), where T(sup Total) is the total thrust of the combined ejector and driving jet and T(sup j) is the
thrust due to the driving jet alone. There are three images in this figure, one for each of the named thrust sources. The images
are color contours of measured instantaneous vorticity. Each image is an ensemble average of at least 150 phase-locked
measurements. The flow is from right to left, and the shape and location of each driver is shown on the far right of each image.
The emitted vortex is a clearly defined ‘doughnut’ of highly vortical (spinning) flow. In these planar images, the vortex appears
as two distorted circles, one above, and one below the axis of symmetry. Because they are spinning in the opposite direction,
the two circles have vorticity of opposite sign and thus are different colors. There is also a rectangle shown in each image.
Its width represents the ejector diameter that was found experimentally to yield the highest thrust augmentation. It is apparent
that the optimal ejector diameter is that which just ‘captures’ the vortex: that is, the diameter bounding the outermost edge of
the vortex structure. The exact mechanism behind the enhanced performance is unclear; however, it is believed to be related
to the powerful vortex emitted with each pulse of the unsteady driver. As such, particle imaging velocimetry (PIV)
measurements were obtained for three unsteady drivers: a pulsejet, a resonance tube, and a speaker-driven jet. All the drivers
were tested with ejectors, and all exhibited performance enhancement over similarly sized steady drivers. The characteristic
starting vortices of each driver are shown in these images. The images are color contours of measured instantaneous vorticity.
Each image is an ensemble average of at least 150 phase-locked measurements. The flow is from right to left. The shape and
location of each driver is shown on the far right of each image. The rectangle shown in each image represents the ejector
diameter that was found experimentally to yield the highest thrust augmentation. It is apparent that the optimal ejector
diameter is that which just ‘captures’ the vortex: that is, the diameter bounding the outermost edge of the vortex structure.
Although not shown, it was observed that the emitted vortex spread as it traveled downstream. The spreading rate for the
pulsejet is shown as the dashed lines in the top image. A tapered ejector was fabricated that matched this shape. When tested,
the ejector demonstrated superior performance to all those previously tested at Glenn (which were essentially of straight,
cylindrical form), achieving a remarkable thrust augmentation of 2. The measured thrust augmentation is shown as a function
of ejector length. Also shown are the thrust augmentation values achieved with the straight, cylindrical ejectors of varying
diameters. Here, thrust augmentation is plotted as a function of ejector length for several families of ejector diameters. It can
be seen that large thrust augmentation values are indeed obtained and that they are sensitive to both ejector length and
diameter, particularly the latter. Five curves are shown. Four correspond to straight ejector diameters of 2.2, 3.0, 4.0, and 6.0
in. The fifth curve corresponds to the tapered ejector contoured to bound the emitted vortex. For each curve, there are several
data points corresponding to different lengths. The largest value of thrust augmentation is 2.0 for the tapered ejector and 1.81
for the straight ejectors. Regardless of their diameters, all the ejectors trend toward peak performance at a particular leng. That
the cross-sectional dimensions of optimal ejectors scaled precisely with the vortex dimensions on three separate pulsed thrust
sources demonstrates that the action of the vortex is responsible for the enhanced ejector performance. The result also suggests
that, in the absence of a complete understanding of the entrainment and augmentation mechanisms, methods of characterizing
starting vortices may be useful for correlating and predicting unsteady ejector performance.

The Ultra-Efficient Engine Technology (UEET) Program includes seven key projects that work with industry to develop
and hand off revolutionary propulsion technologies that will enable future-generation vehicles over a wide range of flight
speeds. A new program office, the Ultra-Efficient Engine Technology (UEET) Program Office, was formed at the NASA Glenn
Research Center to manage an important National propulsion program for NASA. The Glenn-managed UEET Program, which
began on October 1, 1999, includes participation from three other NASA centers (Ames, Goddard, and Langley), as well as
five engine companies (GE Aircraft Engines, Pratt & Whitney, Honeywell, Allison/Rolls Royce, and Williams International)
and two airplane manufacturers (the Boeing Company and Lockheed Martin Corporation). This 6-year, nearly $300 million
program will address local air-quality concerns by developing technologies to significantly reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx)
emissions. In addition, it will provide critical propulsion technologies to dramatically increase performance as measured in
fuel burn reduction that will enable reductions of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This is necessary to address the potential
climate impact of long-term aviation growth.

One-Dimensional Spontaneous Raman Measurements Made in a Gas Turbine Combustor

2001; 3 pp.; In English; No Copyright; Avail: CASI; A01, Hardcopy
The NASA Glenn Research Center and the aerospace industry are designing and testing low-emission combustor concepts
to build the next generation of cleaner, more fuel efficient aircraft powerplants. These combustors will operate at much higher
inlet temperatures and at pressures that are up to 3 to 5 times greater than combustors in the current fleet. From a test and
analysis viewpoint, there is an increasing need for measurements from these combustors that are nonintrusive, simultaneous,
multipoint, and more quantitative. Glenn researchers have developed several unique test facilities (refs. 1 and 2) that allow,
for the first time, optical interrogation of combustor flow fields, including subcomponent performance, at pressures ranging
from 1 to 60 bar (1 to 60 atm). Experiments conducted at Glenn are the first application of a visible laser-pumped,
one-dimensional, spontaneous Raman-scattering technique to analyze the flow in a high-pressure, advanced-concept fuel
injector at pressures thus far reaching 12 bar (12 atm). This technique offers a complementary method to the existing two- and
three-dimensional imaging methods used, such as planar laser-induced fluorescence. Raman measurements benefit from the
fact that the signal from each species is a linear function of its density, and the relative densities of all major species can be
acquired simultaneously with good precision. The Raman method has the added potential to calibrate multidimensional
measurements by providing an independent measurement of species number-densities at known points within the planar
laser-induced fluorescence images. The visible Raman method is similar to an ultraviolet-Raman technique first tried in the
same test facility (ref. 3). However, the visible method did not suffer from the ultraviolet technique’s fuel-born polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbon fluorescence interferences.

The Revolutionary Turbine Accelerator (RTA) project is a ground demonstration of a Mach 4 Turbine Based Combined
Cycle engine. This new combined cycle engine developed for the ground-based demonstration will use a new type of
augmentor called the hyperburner. The technical features of this new augmenter are introduced in this work. Some of the
salient features include a new variable area bypass injector system and a new flame holder configuration. A summary of the
hyperburner configuration and the supporting evidence obtained during the hyperburner rig experiments show that
hyperburner is a viable burner concept capable of meeting the goals of the RTA ground engine demonstration project.

for subsonic transports, which in addition to better fuel efficiency also helped mitigate engine noise by reducing the jet exhaust
velocity. These engines were introduced in the late 1960 s and power most of the commercial fleet today. Over the years, the
bypass ratio (that is the ratio of the mass flow through the fan bypass duct to the mass flow through the engine core) has
increased to values approaching 9 for modern turbofans such as the General Electric s GE-90 engine (Figure lb). The benefits
to noise reduction for high bypass ratio (HPBR) engines are derived from lowering the core jet velocity and temperature, and
lowering the tip speed and pressure ratio of the fan, both of which are the consequences of the increase in bypass ratio. The
HBPR engines are typically very large in diameter and can produce over 100,000 pounds of thrust for the largest engines. A
third type of engine flying today is the turbo-shaft which is mainly used to power turboprop aircraft and helicopters. An
example of this type of engine is shown in Figure IC, which is a schematic of the Honeywell T55 engine that powers the
CH-47 Chinook helicopter. Since the noise from the propellers or helicopter rotors is usually dominant for turbo-shaft engines,
less attention has been paid to these engines in so far as community noise considerations are concerned. This chapter will
concentrate mostly on turbofan engine noise and will highlight common methods for their noise prediction and reduction.

Engine With Regression and Neural Network Approximators Designed

CASI; A01, Hardcopy
At the NASA Glenn Research Center, the NASA engine performance program (NEPP, ref. 1) and the design optimization
testbed COMETBOARDS (ref. 2) with regression and neural network analysis-approximators have been coupled to obtain a
preliminary engine design methodology. The solution to a high-bypass-ratio subsonic waverotor-topped turbofan engine,
which is shown in the preceding figure, was obtained by the simulation depicted in the following figure. This engine is made
32
of 16 components mounted on two shafts with 21 flow stations. The engine is designed for a flight envelope with 47 operating
points. The design optimization utilized both neural network and regression approximations, along with the cascade strategy
(ref. 3). The cascade used three algorithms in sequence: the method of feasible directions, the sequence of unconstrained
minimizations technique, and sequential quadratic programming. The normalized optimum thrusts obtained by the three
methods are shown in the following figure: the cascade algorithm with regression approximation is represented by a triangle,
a circle is shown for the neural network solution, and a solid line indicates original NEPP results. The solutions obtained from
both approximate methods lie within one standard deviation of the benchmark solution for each operating point. The
simulation improved the maximum thrust by 5 percent. The performance of the linear regression and neural network methods
as alternate engine analyzers was found to be satisfactory for the analysis and operation optimization of air-breathing
propulsion engines (ref. 4).

allows the graphical representation of dynamic systems in a block diagram form. MAPSS is a nonlinear, non-real-time system
composed of controller and actuator dynamics (CAD) and component-level model (CLM) modules. The controller in the CAD
module emulates the functionality of a digital controller, which has a typical update rate of 50 Hz. The CLM module simulates
the dynamics of the engine components and uses an update rate of 2500 Hz, which is needed to iterate to balance mass and
energy among system components. The actuators in the CAD module use the same sampling rate as those in the CLM. Two
graphs of normalized spool speed versus time in seconds and one graph of normalized average metal temperature versus time
in seconds is shown. MAPSS was validated via open-loop and closed-loop comparisons with the Fortran simulation. The
preceding plots show the normalized results of a closed-loop comparison looking at three states of the model: low-pressure
spool speed, high-pressure spool speed, and the average metal temperature measured from the combustor to the high-pressure
turbine. In steady state, the error between the simulations is less than 1 percent. During a transient, the difference between the
simulations is due to a correction in MAPSS that prevents the gas flow in the bypass duct inlet from flowing forward instead
of toward the aft end, which occurs in the Fortran simulation. A comparison between MAPSS and the Fortran model of the
bypass duct inlet flow for power lever angles greater than 35 degrees is shown.

The objective of this effort is to develop a hybrid control theory for multiple UAVs. Specifically, to develop: A) A hybrid
interface between discrete and continuous systems, B) A coordination algorithm for UAVs with distributed sensors.
Application areas are air traffic control and satellite formation flight. 1) Real time hybrid system analysis and controller design,
2) Distributed sensing systems, and 3) Asynchronous control theory. Hybrid design (1) is based on solving a constrained
optimization problem. This is solved using LMIs with ellipsoidal bounding. The discrete modes use a theorem proven to
validate that the modes transition correctly. Distributed sensing (2) is based on precision control of formations of UAVs or
satellites with SAR or optical interferometry. Coordinated video ad motion is used to estimate position and resolve conflicts.
Asynchronous theory (3) is needed for an effective distributed control architecture. Data is time stamped and weighed with

This presentation covers six of the major CC exploratory investigations that have taken place since the last CC workshop
that was held in 1986. The 2-D dual slotted airfoil was designed and tested in 1987 by Jane Abramson. Test documentation
can be found in NSWCCD-50-TR-2004/030. The airfoil was the first CC model designed at Carderock to incorporate both
upper and lower trailing edge blowing slots. The dual slots provide the ability to produce lift in either direction. The
fundamental design objective was to increase the control range so that force control in both directions was available. This plot
shows lift coefficient vs. C(sub mu) and reveals that the goal of doubling the control range was met. An unexpected finding
was that the performance of the lower slot, in terms of measured lift augmentation, was noticeably better than the upper slot.

The first airfield pavement application of a recently developed antifreeze technology for cold weather concreting was

in North Dakota. The technology, which combines ordinary concrete admixtures into a formulation that depresses the freezing
point of water and accelerates the hydration rate of portland cement, was the product of a three-year study conducted for the
Federal Highway Administration and completed in February 2004. One of the eight admixture combinations developed in that
study was used to convert a standard concrete mixture into antifreeze concrete at GFAFB. Two trial batches of concrete made
on the day prior to working on the apron afforded the ready-mix producer ample time to adjust admixture dosages to produce
a workable concrete. Four truckloads of concrete were sequentially batched at the ready-mix plant and dosed with the
antifreeze formulation at the jobsite. Except for the second truckload, which was later discovered to have damaged mixing fins
inside its drum, the antifreeze concrete batched in this study behaved like normal fast-setting concrete during mixing, at the
time of placement, and throughout finishing. The apron section was ready for traffic two days after placement in subfreezing
weather.

On June 2, 2000, the NASA Glenn Research Center Learning Technologies Project (LTP) coordinated the first live remote
videoconferencing broadcast from a Glenn facility. The historic event from Glenn’s Icing Research Tunnel featured wind
tunnel technicians and researchers performing an icing experiment, obtaining results, and discussing the relevance to everyday
flight operations and safety. After a brief overview of its history, students were able to ‘walk through’ the tunnel, stand in the
control room, and observe a live icing experiment that demonstrated how ice would grow on an airplane wing in flight through
an icing cloud. The tour was interactive, with a spirited exchange of questions and explanations between the students and
presenters. The virtual tour of the oldest and largest refrigerated icing research tunnel in the world was the second of a series
of videoconferencing connections with the AP Physics students at Bay Village High School, Bay Village, Ohio. The first
connection, called Aircraft Safety and Icing Research, introduced the Tailplane Icing Program. In an effort to improve aircraft
safety by reducing the number of in-flight icing events, Glenn’s Icing Branch uses its icing research aircraft to conduct flight
tests. The presenter engaged the students in discussions of basic aircraft flight mechanics and the function of the horizontal
tailplane, as well as the effect of ice on airfoil (wing or tail) surfaces. A brief video of actual flight footage provided a view
of the pilot’s actions and reactions and of the horizon during tailplane icing conditions.

Current NASA program goals for aircraft engines and vehicle performance include reducing direct operating costs for
commercial aircraft by 3 percent in large engines and 5 percent in regional engines, reducing engine fuel burn up to 10 percent,
and reducing engine oxides of nitrogen emissions by more than 50 percent. Significant advancements in current gas turbine
engines and engine components, such as seals, are required to meet these goals. Specifically, advanced seals have been
identified as critical in meeting engine goals for specific fuel consumption, thrust-to-weight ratio, emissions, durability, and
operating costs. In a direct effort to address and make progress toward these goals, researchers at the NASA Glenn Research
Center have developed a unique high-temperature, high-speed engine seal test rig to evaluate seals under the temperature,
speed, and pressure conditions anticipated for next-generation turbine engines. Newly installed, this seal test rig has
41
capabilities beyond those of any existing seal rigs. It can test air seals (i.e., labyrinth, brush, and new seal concepts) at
temperatures of up to 1500 F and pressures up to 100 psid (even higher pressures are possible at lower temperatures), and at
all surface speeds anticipated in future NASA (Ultra-Efficient Engine Technology, UEET) and Integrated High-Performance
Turbine Engine Technology (IHPTET) engine programs. In addition, seals can be tested offset from the rotor centerline, in the
rotor runout condition, and with simulated mission profiles. Support for this new rig was provided by Glenn, the U.S. Air
Force, and the U.S. Army.

This research effort analyzes the fundamental dynamics governing a satellite with a gravity gradient boom and a tethered
balloon. Satellites that use gravity gradient booms for passive attitude control are characterized by undamped pitch oscillations
and no roll control. The tethered balloon acts as a high drag device that accounts for the most drag on the satellite system.
By attaching a drag device, the system resists rolling movements while also damping oscillations. This could potentially be
a cost effective method for increasing satellite stabilization. The goal of this research is to model the dynamics and determine
the feasibility of a gravity gradient stabilized satellite with an attached balloon. A simulation written in Matlab analyzes the
behavior of such a satellite. The research is limited to circular orbits around a spherical Earth and includes only in-plane
motion for each mass. Stable ranges for certain tether characteristics are found for three different satellites.

NASA Lewis Launch Collision Probability Model Developed and Analyzed
Research and Technology 1998; April 1999; 2 pp.; In English; Original contains black and white illustrations; No Copyright;
Avail: CASI; A01, Hardcopy
There are nearly 10,000 tracked objects orbiting the earth. These objects encompass manned objects, active and
decommissioned satellites, spent rocket bodies, and debris. They range from a few centimeters across to the size of the MIR
space station. Anytime a new satellite is launched, the launch vehicle with its payload attached passes through an area of space
in which these objects orbit. Although the population density of these objects is low, there always is a small but finite
probability of collision between the launch vehicle and one or more of these space objects. Even though the probability of
collision is very low, for some payloads even this small risk is unacceptable. To mitigate the small risk of collision associated
47
with launching at an arbitrary time within the daily launch window, NASA performs a prelaunch mission assurance Collision
Avoidance Analysis (or COLA). For the COLA of the Cassini spacecraft, the NASA Lewis Research Center conducted an
in-house development and analysis of a model for launch collision probability. The model allows a minimum clearance criteria
to be used with the COLA analysis to ensure an acceptably low probability of collision. If, for any given liftoff time, the
nominal launch vehicle trajectory would pass a space object with less than the minimum required clearance, launch would not
be attempted at that time. The model assumes that the nominal positions of the orbiting objects and of the launch vehicle can
be predicted as a function of time, and therefore, that any tracked object that comes within close proximity of the launch
vehicle can be identified. For any such pair, these nominal positions can be used to calculate a nominal miss distance. The
actual miss distances may differ substantially from the nominal miss distance, due, in part, to the statistical uncertainty of the
knowledge of the objects positions. The model further assumes that these position uncertainties can be described with position
covariance matrices. With these, and some additional simplifying assumptions, a closed-form solution for the probability of
collision is obtained. This solution provides clear insights into how each of the independent parameters affects the probability
of collision. It shows that for a given maximum probability of collision and prior knowledge of the objects position
uncertainties and sizes, only knowledge of the nominal closest approach distance is required to make the launch/no launch
decision. The model was completed and used for the mission assurance COLA analysis for the Cassini spacecraft, which was
launched on a Titan IV/Centaur rocket on October 15, 1997. Although the model was specifically developed for the Cassini
mission, it is clearly applicable for other launches as well. The effect of COLA closures on the launch window is shown. The
bar represents the entire 140-min launch window on October 15, 1997; the blackened areas represent the loss of launch
opportunities due to the potential for a collision with an orbiting object.

A class of miniaturized pulsed plasma thrusters (PPT), known as MicroPPTs, is currently in development at the Air Force
Research Laboratory, Edwards Research Site, California. The MicroPPTs use a surface discharge across solid Teflon propellant
to provide precise impulse bits in the 10 micro-newton-per-second range. In the near term, these thrusters can provide
propulsive attitude control on 150-kg-class spacecraft using one-fifth the dry mass of conventional torque rods and reaction
wheels. Eventually these thrusters are designed for primary and attitude control propulsion on future 25-kg class spacecraft.
Efforts to characterize MicroPPT performance and the thruster plume are underway. To this end, a modified torsional thrust
stand has been developed for the purpose of accurately measuring the low-level thrust generated by the MicroPPT. A Herriott
Cell interferometer is introduced to establish the electron and neutral densities in the thruster plume. Comparison of the
measured electron density with modeling predictions shows close agreement. Additionally, a Pockels cell has been developed
to provide a zero-impedance MicroPPT breakdown voltage measurement, and an intensified CCD array has been used to
characterize the divergence of both the thruster plume and the particulate emission. A synopsis is also presented of the status
of the thruster development, including lifetime, thermal, and environmental testing.

The Propulsion Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) Technology Experiment (PITEX) is a continuing NASA
effort being conducted cooperatively by the NASA Glenn Research Center, the NASA Ames Research Center, and the NASA
Kennedy Space Center. It was a key element of a Space Launch Initiative risk-reduction task performed by the Northrop
Grumman Corporation in El Segundo, California. PITEX’s main objectives are the continued maturation of diagnostic
technologies that are relevant to second generation reusable launch vehicle (RLV) subsystems and the assessment of the
real-time performance of the PITEX diagnostic solution. The PITEX effort has considerable legacy in the NASA IVHM
Technology Experiment for X-vehicles (NITEX) that was selected to fly on the X-34 subscale RLV that was being developed
by Orbital Sciences Corporation. NITEX, funded through the Future-X Program Office, was to advance the technology-
readiness level of selected IVHM technologies within a flight environment and to begin the transition of these technologies
from experimental status into RLV baseline designs. The experiment was to perform realtime fault detection and isolation and
suggest potential recovery actions for the X-34 main propulsion system (MPS) during all mission phases by using a
combination of system-level analysis and detailed diagnostic algorithms.

NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field’s aviation Weather Information Communications (WINCOMM) and NASA
Langley Research Center’s Aviation Weather Information (AWIN) programs collaborated in a flight test and evaluation of a
worldwide weather data-link capability using satellites. This successful flight testing moves NASA closer to its goal of
developing advanced communications and information technologies to enable high-quality and timely dissemination of
aviation weather information to all relevant users on the aviation information network. Recognized as a major contributing
factor in aviation accidents and incidents, weather contributes directly or indirectly to nearly 80 percent of fatal general
aviation (small private aircraft) accidents. In 1997, the Aeronautics Safety Investment Strategy Team s weather team produced
a prioritized list of investment areas under weather accident prevention. Weather data dissemination is the most critical and
highest ranked priority on the list. NASA’s Aviation Safety Program founded the Aviation Weather Information initiative to
focus efforts on significantly reducing the number of weather-related aviation fatalities. Access to accurate and timely weather
data could contribute to a major reduction of weather-related incidents and accidents. However, a cost-effective solution has
eluded most general aviation pilots because of the high cost of onboard weather radar equipment. Rockwell Collins, through
a contract with NASA and in cooperation with WorldSpace Corporation, successfully completed ground and flight testing of
a receiver and antenna in Johannesburg, South Africa. This NASA/Rockwell Collins project is an evaluation of worldwide
weather data-link capability using transmissions from the Satellite Digital Audio Radio Services (S DARS) AfriStar satellite.
Owned and operated by WorldSpace, AfriStar is a geostationary satellite that broadcasts commercial digital audio services to
stationary and mobile platforms. S DARS satellites are the most powerful communications satellites produced to date,
allowing users to receive signals using simple, low-cost patch antennas instead of more expensive, beam-steered antenna
arrays. Engineers connected an inexpensive, commercially available radio receiver to a laptop computer and an antenna
designed and built by Rockwell Collins, enabling them to receive WorldSpace signals from the AfriStar satellite during flight
tests. WorldSpace broadcast their composite color graphical weather data files, which were multiplexed with normal audio
streams, to the flat patch antenna mounted on a single-engine aircraft. The aircraft was equipped with a modified commercial
S-DARS receiver, a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) receiver, and a laptop computer with color display. Continuous data
reception occurred during normal aircraft maneuvers performed throughout takeoff, cruise, and landing operations. In addition,
engineers monitored receiver power levels during steep turns and banks. In most instances, the receiver was able to maintain
acceptable power levels during all phases of flight and to obtain weather data with little or with the successful completion of
ground and flight testing of a receiver and antenna in Johannesburg, South Africa, the team has started to prepare for
experiments using highspeed aircraft in areas of the world with limited access to timely weather data. NASA plans to provide
a more advanced antenna design and consultation support. This successful test of real-time aviation-related weather data is a
positive step toward solving communications-specific issues associated with the dissemination of weather data directly to the
cockpit.

Radio Conference in the year 2000 (WRC 2000). Numerous interference studies have been conducted in support of a primary
space-tospace allocation in the 1215- to 1260-MHz and 1559- to 1610-MHz RNSS bands. Most of these studies and analyses
were performed by Glenn and submitted as U.S. input documents to the international Working Party 8D meetings in Geneva,
Switzerland. In the structure of the ITU, Working Party 8D is responsible for frequency spectrum issues in the RNSS and the
mobile satellite service (MSS). The full texts of the studies are available from the ITU web site under Working Party 8D
contributions. Note that because spaceborne RNSS receivers operate in a receive-only mode with navigation signals already
being broadcast toward the Earth, the addition of a space-tospace allocation will not result in interference with other systems.
A space-based RNSS receiver, however, could experience interference from systems of other services, including intraservice
interference from other RNSS systems. The interference scenarios examined in the studies can be inferred from the following
frequency allocation charts. In these charts, services labeled in all capital letters (e.g., ‘ARNS’) have primary status, whereas
those labeled with sentence-style capitalization (e.g., ‘Amateur radio’) have secondary status (i.e., a service with secondary
status cannot claim interference protection from or cause harmful interference to a service with primary status). Charts
showing the ITU frequency allocations in the 960 to 1350 MHZ range and the 1525-1660 MHZ range are discussed and
presented.

Power System Options Evaluated for the Radiation and Technology Demonstration Mission

The Radiation and Technology Demonstration (RTD) Mission is under joint study by three NASA Centers: the NASA
Johnson Space Center, the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and the NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field. This
Earth-orbiting mission, which may launch on a space shuttle in the first half of the next decade, has the primary objective of
demonstrating high-power electric thruster technologies. Secondary objectives include better characterization of Earth’s Van
Allen trapped-radiation belts, measurement of the effectiveness of the radiation shielding for human protection, measurement
of radiation effects on advanced solar cells, and demonstration of radiation-tolerant microelectronics. During the mission,
which may continue up to 1 year, the 2000-kg RTD spacecraft will first spiral outward from the shuttle-deployed,
medium-inclination, low Earth orbit. By the phased operation of a 10-kW Hall thruster and a 10-kW Variable Specific Impulse
Magneto-Plasma Rocket, the RTD spacecraft will reach a low-inclination Earth orbit with a radius greater than five Earth radii.
This will be followed by an inward spiraling orbit phase when the spacecraft deploys 8 to 12 microsatellites to map the Van
Allen belts. The mission will conclude in low Earth orbit with the possible retrieval of the spacecraft by the space shuttle. A
conceptual RTD spacecraft design showing two photovoltaic (PV) array wings, the Hall thruster with propellant tanks, and
stowed microsatellites is presented. Early power system studies assessed five different PV array design options coupled with
a 120-Vdc power management and distribution system (PMAD) and secondary lithium battery energy storage. Array options
include (1) state-of-the-art 10-percent efficient three-junction amorphous SiGe thin-film cells on thin polymer panels deployed
with an inflatable (or articulated) truss, (2) SCARLET array panels, (3) commercial state-of-the-art, planar PV array rigid
panels with 25-percent efficient, three-junction GaInP2/GaAs/Ge solar cells, (4) rigid panels with 25-percent efficient,
three-junction GaInP2/GaAs/Ge solar cells, in a 2 -concentrator trough configuration, and (5) thin polymer panels with
25-percent efficient, three-junction GaInP2/GaAs/Ge solar cells deployed with an inflatable (or articulated) truss. To assess the
relative merits of these PV array design options, the study group developed a dedicated Fortran code to predict power system
performance and estimate system mass. This code also modeled Earth orbital environments important for accurately predicting
PV array performance. The most important environmental effect, solar cell radiation degradation, was calculated from
electron-proton fluence input from the industry standard AE8/AP8 trapped radiation models and the concept of damage
equivalence. Power systems were sized to provide 10 kW of thruster power and approximately 1 kW of spacecraft power at
end of life. Of the five PV array design options, the option 1 (thin-film cells) power system was the most massive 590 kg,
whereas the option 4 (trough concentrator) power system was the lightest 260 kg. Arguably, the lowest cost would come from
the option 3 (commercial array panels) power system with an acceptable, albeit greater, system mass of 320 kg. Predicted
power system performance during the spiral-out mission phase is shown the preceding graph for the option 5 (flexible-panel)
array. From the results, the radiation-induced power loss over time is evident as the spacecraft slowly spirals outward through
the trapped proton belt. The importance of the spiral trip time is also evident in the two curves representing 74-day and
182-day spiral-out periods. The longer spiral time introduces a beginning-of-life power oversizing penalty greater than 1 kW.
Future studies will analyze power system performance and mass with a 50-Vdc power management and distribution
architecture favorable to the VASIMR thruster and longer missions.

Researchers at the NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field designed conceptual SEP vehicle, conceived the mission
architecture to use this vehicle, and analyzed the vehicle s performance. This SEP stage has a dry mass of 35 metric tons (MT),
40 MT of xenon propellant, and a photovoltaic array that spans 110 m, providing power to a cluster of eight 100-kW Hall
thrusters. The stage can transfer an 80-MT payload and upper stage to the desired HEEPO. Preliminary packaging studies
show this space-station-class SEP vehicle meets the proposed ‘Magnum’ launch vehicle and volume requirements with
considerable margin. An SEP vehicle for outer planetary missions, such as the Europa Mapper Mission, would be dramatically
smaller than human Mars mission SEP stage. In this mission architecture, the SEP power system with the payload to provide
spacecraft power throughout the mission. Several photovoltaic array design concepts were considered for the SEP vehicle
power system for the human mission to Mars. These include a space station derivative, a SCARLET (Solar Concentrator
Arrays with Refractive Linear Element Technology) derivative, and a hybrid inflatable-deployable thin polymer membrane
array with thin-film solar cells (as shown in the concept illustration). This concept is based on a design developed for the Next
Generation Space Telescope Sun shield. The array is divided into 16 independent electrical sections with 500-V,
negative-grounded solar cell strings. The power system employs a channelized, 500-Vdc power management and distribution
(PMAD) architecture with lithium ion batteries for energy storage for vehicle and payload secondary loads (the high-power
Hall thrusters do not operate in eclipse periods). The 500-V PMAD voltage permits ‘direct-drive’ thruster operation, greatly
reducing the power processing unit size, complexity, and power loss. Similar power system architecture, designs, and
technology are assumed for the Europa Mapper Mission SEP vehicle. The primary exceptions are that the photovoltaic array
is assumed to consist of two rectangular wings and that the power system rating is 15 kW in Earth orbit and 200 W at Europa.
To size the SEP vehicle power system, a dedicated Fortran code was developed to predict detailed power system performance,
mass, and thermal control requirements. This code also modeled all the relevant Earth orbit environments; that is, the

results for the Human Mars Mission SEP vehicle show a power system mass of 9-MT and photovoltaic array area of
5800-square meters for the thin-membrane design concept with CuInS2 thin-film cells. Power processing unit input power for
a thin-membrane array design with three-junction, amorphous SiGe solar cells is shown in the graph. Power falls off rapidly
inhe first weeks of the mission because of light-induced (Staebler-Wronksi) solar cell losses. During the next 200 days, power
decreases steadily as the SEP stage spirals through the proton belts and sustains the bulk of the mission radiation damage. Once
the vehicle apogee is above approximately four Earth radii, little additional degradation is incurred. From 400 to 800 days,
a 1100-km ‘parking’ orbit is maintained to await the next payload transfer opportunity. This orbit is below the main proton
belt, and thus, little radiation dose is accumulated during this time period. During the second LEO-to-HEEPO transfer, power
degrades somewhat further, but power requirements are still met. In comparison, the Europa Mapper SEP vehicle power
system had a mass of 150 kg and a thin membrane array area of 100 square meters.

laser pulse condition, a maximum 7.5-kW peak power with a duration of approximately 0.1 to 0.2 msec (a spike) can be
achieved, followed by a plateau region that has about one-fifth of the maximum power level with several milliseconds
duration. The laser thermal fatigue rig has also been developed to adopt flat and rotating tubular specimen configurations for
the simulated engine tests. More sophisticated laser optic systems can be used to simulate the spatial distributions of the
temperature and shock waves in the engine. Pulse laser high-cycle thermal fatigue behavior has been investigated on a flat
Haynes 188 alloy specimen, under the test condition of 30-Hz cycle frequency (33-msec pulse period and 10-msec pulse width
including a 0.2-msec pulse spike; ref. 4). Temperature distributions were calculated with one-dimensional finite difference
models. The calculations show that that the 0.2-msec pulse spike can cause an additional 40 C temperature fluctuation with
an interaction depth of 0.08 mm near the specimen surface region. This temperature swing will be superimposed onto the
temperature swing of 80 C that is induced by the 10-msec laser pulse near the 0.53-mm-deep surface interaction region.

The NASA Glenn Research Center is developing an advanced multidisciplinary analysis environment for aerospace
propulsion systems called the Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS). This simulation is initially being used to
support aeropropulsion in the analysis and design of aircraft engines. NPSS provides increased flexibility for the user, which
reduces the total development time and cost. It is currently being extended to support the Aviation Safety Program and
Advanced Space Transportation. NPSS focuses on the integration of multiple disciplines such as aerodynamics, structure, and
heat transfer with numerical zooming on component codes. Zooming is the coupling of analyses at various levels of detail.
NPSS development includes using the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) in the NPSS Developer’s Kit
to facilitate collaborative engineering. The NPSS Developer’s Kit will provide the tools to develop custom components and
to use the CORBA capability for zooming to higher fidelity codes, coupling to multidiscipline codes, transmitting secure data,
and distributing simulations across different platforms. These powerful capabilities will extend NPSS from a zero-dimensional
simulation tool to a multifidelity, multidiscipline system-level simulation tool for the full life cycle of an engine.

Pulse Detonation Engine Technology is currently being investigated at Glenn for both airbreathing and rocket propulsion
applications. The potential for both mechanical simplicity and high efficiency due to the inherent near-constant-volume
combustion process, may make Pulse Detonation Engines (PDE’s) well suited for a number of mission profiles. Assessment
of PDE cycles requires a simulation capability that is both fast and accurate. It should capture the essential physics of the
system, yet run at speeds that allow parametric analysis. A quasi-one-dimensional, computational-fluid-dynamics-based
simulation has been developed that may meet these requirements. The Euler equations of mass, momentum, and energy have
been used along with a single reactive species transport equation, and submodels to account for dominant loss mechanisms
(e.g., viscous losses, heat transfer, and valving) to successfully simulate PDE cycles. A high-resolution numerical integration
scheme was chosen to capture the discontinuities associated with detonation, and robust boundary condition procedures were
incorporated to accommodate flow reversals that may arise during a given cycle. The accompanying graphs compare
experimentally measured and computed performance over a range of operating conditions for a particular PDE. Experimental
data were supplied by Fred Schauer and Jeff Stutrud from the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson AFB and
by Royce Bradley from Innovative Scientific Solutions, Inc. The left graph shows thrust and specific impulse, Isp, as functions
of equivalence ratio for a PDE cycle in which the tube is completely filled with a detonable hydrogen/air mixture. The right
graph shows thrust and specific impulse as functions of the fraction of the tube that is filled with a stoichiometric mixture of
hydrogen and air. For both figures, the operating frequency was 16 Hz. The agreement between measured and computed values
is quite good, both in terms of trend and magnitude. The error is under 10 percent everywhere except for the thrust value at
an equivalence ratio of 0.8 in the left figure, where it is 14 percent. The simulation results shown were made using 200
numerical cells. Each cycle of the engine, approximately 0.06 sec, required 2.0 min of CPU time on a Sun Ultra2. The
simulation is currently being used to analyze existing experiments, design new experiments, and predict performance in
propulsion concepts where the PDE is a component (e.g., hybrid engines and combined cycles).

in liquid helium. The particle sizes, molecular transformations, and agglomeration times were estimated from video image
analyses. The experiments were conducted at the NASA Glenn Research Center in the Supplemental Multilayer Insulation
Research Facility (SMIRF, ref. 3). The facility has a vacuum tank, into which the experimental setup was placed. The vacuum
tank prevented heat leaks and subsequent boiloff of the liquid helium, and the supporting systems maintained the temperature
and pressure of the liquid helium bath where the solid particles were created. As the operation of the apparatus was developed,
the hydrogen particles were easily visualized. The figures (ref. 1) show images from the experimental runs. The first image
shows the initial particle freezing, and the second image shows the particles after the small particles have agglomerated. The
particles finally all clump, but stick together loosely. The solid particles tended to agglomerate within a maximum of 11 min,
and the agglomerate was very weak. Because the hydrogen particles are buoyant in the helium, the agglomerate tends to
compact itself into a flat pancake on the surface of the helium. This pancake agglomerate is easily broken apart by reducing
the pressure above the liquid. The weak agglomerate implies that the particles can be used as a gelling agent for the liquid
helium, as well as a storage medium for atomic boron, carbon, or hydrogen. The smallest particle sizes that resulted from the
initial freezing experiments were about 1.8 mm. About 50 percent of the particles formed were between 1.8 to 4.6 mm in
diameter. These very small particle sizes are encouraging for future formation experiments, where simpler operations will
reduce the costs of production.

recreation areas. Observations of direct onsite application have determined that recycled plastics are a cost-saving alternative
to traditional lumber and wood products in certain applications. Two sites--Hartwell Lake and the Old Faithful Area of
Yellowstone National Park--are cited here. Over the past few years, innovations in the design and construction of recycled
post-consumer plastics have become a favorable way to save money and protect the environment. With the recent introduction
of recycled plastic ‘timbers,’ this efficient application is gaining popularity as a durable, long-lasting alternative to the
creosote-treated timbers and pressurized lumber used for decades. In the arena of outdoor recreation, new technologies,
products, and services are resulting in better and more effective means for providing recreational facilities across the nation.
Creosote-treated crossties, decking (on courtesy docks, etc.), and wooden playground facilities are being replaced at Hartwell
Lake and throughout other projects in the U.S. Army Engineer District, Savannah. Although possibly less aesthetically
pleasing, plastics, especially recycled plastics, are proving to be more durable and longer lasting than conventional wood
products. These products typically come with up to a 50-year manufacturer warranty and are alleged to have a life expectancy
equivalent to glass. Manufactured in 100-percent plastic or a mixture of 50 percent plastic-50 percent wood, these products
are available in most shapes and sizes comparable to lumber. They can also be handled like lumber.

Decalin is used as an industrial solvent for naphthalene, fats, resins, oils, and waxes. It is also used as a substitute for
turpentine in lacquers, paints, and varnishes; as a solvent and stabilizer for shoe polishes and floor waxes; and as a constituent
of motor fuels and lubricants. Other applications include use as a paint thinner and remover, a patent fuel in stoves, a
high-density fuel in submarine launched cruise missile systems, and in stain removal and cleaning machinery. Decalin was
nominated for study by the National Cancer Institute because of its chemical structure, its potential for consumer exposure,
and a lack of adequate testing of the chemical. Male and female F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice were exposed to decalin
(greater than 99% pure) by inhalation for 2 weeks, 3 months, or 2 years. Groups of male NBR rats were exposed to decalin
for 2 weeks. Male NBR rats do not produce 2u-globulin; the NBR rats were included to study the relationship of 2u-globulin
and renal lesion induction. Genetic toxicology studies were conducted in Salmonella typhimurium and mouse peripheral blood

As part of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) initiative on developing new technologies for storage of carbon dioxide in
geologic reservoirs, Battelle has been awarded a project to investigate the feasibility of CO2 sequestration in the deep saline
reservoirs in the Ohio River Valley region. This project is the Phase III of Battelle’s work under the Novel Concepts in
Greenhouse Gas Management grant. In addition to the DOE, the project is being sponsored by American Electric Power
(AEP), BP, The Ohio Coal Development Office (OCDO) of the Ohio Department of Development, and Schlumberger. The
main objective of the project is to evaluate the geology of deep formations in the Ohio River Valley region in general and in
the vicinity of AEP’s Mountaineer Power Plant in particular, in order to determine their potential use for conducting a
long-term test of CO2 disposal in deep saline formations and potentially in nearby deep coal seams. This work supports the
overall project objective of demonstrating that CO2 sequestration in deep formations is feasible from engineering and
economic perspectives, as well as being an inherently safe practice and one that will be acceptable to the public. The current
technical progress report summarizes activities completed for the October through December 2004 period of the project. As
discussed in the report, the technical activities focused on initial injection well design, completion of the site characterization
report, assessment of monitoring technologies, shipment of coal samples for testing the capture system to Mitsubishi Heavy
Industry, and presentation of project progress at several venues. In addition, proposals to DOE for continued funding of the
project activities under the current contract and potentially a new contract for development of regional framework were being
evaluated and processed.

Automatic measurement of radioactivity is necessary for considering cost effectiveness in final radiological survey of
building structures in decommissioning nuclear facilities. The RAPID (radiation measuring pilot device for surface
contamination) was developed to be applied to automatic measurement of low level contamination on concrete surfaces. The
RAPID has a capability to measure contamination with detection limit of 0.14 Bq/ sq cm for Co-60 in 30 seconds of
measurement time and its efficiency is evaluated to be 5 sq m/h in a normal measurement option. It was confirmed that low
level contamination on concrete surfaces could be surveyed by the RAPID efficiently compared with direct measurement by
workers through its actual application.

One method of reducing styrene emissions from vinyl ester (VE) and unsaturated polyester resins (UPE) is to replace
some or all of the styrene with fatty acid-based monomers. Methacrylated fatty acid (MFA) monomers are ideal candidates
because they are inexpensive, have low volatilities, and free-radically polymerize with vinyl ester. The viscosity of VE resins
using these fatty acid monomers ranged from 700 2000 cP, which is considerably higher than that of VE/styrene resins (^100
cP). In addition, the Tg of VE/MFA polymers were only on the order of 80 C, which is significantly lower than that of
VE/styrene polymers. Decreasing the length of the base fatty acid chains from 18 to 12 carbon atoms improved the Tg by 20
C, while lowing the resin viscosity from ^2500 to ^1000 cP. Residual unsaturation sites on the fatty acid backbone decreased
the cure rate of the resins thereby decreasing polymer properties. Ternary blends of VE, styrene, and fatty acid monomers also
effectively improved the flexural, fracture, and thermo-mechanical properties and reduced the resin viscosity to acceptable
levels, while using less than 15 wt% styrene, far less than commercial VE resins.

This work has focused on understanding how cutting fluid additives, contaminants, and metal-working cleanser can
influence the dermal disposition of potential skin irritants. Representatives of three commonly used classes of additives
(emulsifier, lubricant, and biocide) were investigated in this study. The three representative additives, linear alkylbenzene
sulfonate (LAS), sulfate ricinoleic acid (RA), and triazine, were used in the initial phases of this research answer these
questions. Diffusion of these additives across skin and inert membranes was determined experimentally to help identify
physicochemical and chemical-biological interactions when workers are exposed to similar complex cutting fluid
formulations. Because triazine was shown to be more readily absorbed across skin, it was used as a chemical marker to further
assess contaminant and cleanser effects on dermal absorption.

High-Flow PMR-Polymide Composites Developed With Mechanical Properties Comparable to Other High-
Temperature Systems

PMR polyimides, in particular PMR-15, are well known for their excellent high-temperature stability and performance,
and solvent resistance. However, the processing of these materials is limited, for the most part, to prepreg-based methods, such
as compression or autoclave processing. These methods involve substantial amounts of hand labor, and as a result,
manufacturing costs for components made from PMR polyimides can be high. In cost-sensitive applications, these high
manufacturing costs can make the use of PMR polyimide-based components cost prohibitive. Lower cost manufacturing
methods, such as resin transfer molding (RTM) and resin film infusion, have been demonstrated to reduce manufacturing costs
by as much as 50 percent over prepreg-based methods. However, these processes are only amenable to materials with melt
viscosities below 30 poise. Most PMR polyimides have melt viscosities on the order of 100 poise or higher. Recent efforts
at the NASA Glenn Research Center have focused on chemical modifications to PMR polyimides to reduce their melt viscosity
to the point where they could be processed by these low-cost manufacturing methods without adversely affecting their
high-temperature properties and performance. These efforts have led to a new family of PMR polyimides that have melt
viscosities significantly lower than that of PMR-15. Reductions in melt viscosity are brought about through the introduction
of molecular twists in the polymer backbone. Carbon fiber (T650- 35) composites were prepared from one of these polyimides,
designated PMR-Flex, by compression molding. The properties of these composites are presented below and compared with
comparable composites made from PMR-15 and PETI-RTM, a new low-melt-viscosity polyimide.

Creep/Rupture Behavior of Melt-Infiltrated SiC/SiC Composites Being Investigated

illustrations; No Copyright; Avail: CASI; A01, Hardcopy
The failure behavior of melt-infiltrated SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composites is under investigation at the NASA Glenn
Research Center as part of NASA’s Ultra-Efficient Engine Technology Program. This material was originally developed under
the High Speed Research Office’s Enabling Propulsion Materials Program. Creep and rupture data provide accelerated testing
information to predict material behavior under engine use situations (1500 to 2400 F). This information gives insights into
various material development paths to improve composites as well as improve understanding of failure mechanisms. The left
figure shows the fracture surface of a CMC material following over 200 hr of testing at 2400 F. This surface demonstrates the
kind of fibrous pullout desirable for maximum crack deflection, hence non-brittle failure. Microscopy suggests that creep and
rupture of these materials can best be considered as a probabilistic property, rather than a material property. Fiber failure
occurs first in isolated regions, while stronger adjacent fibers remain intact. The right figure shows a region where oxide
deposits blur and round the fiber images. Because the oxidation kinetics of SiC are well understood, this oxide scale can be
used as a measure of the length of time various regions of the composites have been exposed to the environment, hence
providing vital information regarding the sequence of failure. The oxide scale in the right figure indicates an early failure of
this tow of fibers, whereas adjacent tows remain oxide free, suggesting failure much later in time. The path of various cracks
can be followed throughout the composite in this manner, suggesting failure mechanisms.

High-temperature electronics and sensors are necessary for harsh-environment space and aeronautical applications, such
as sensors and electronics for space missions to the inner solar system, sensors for in situ combustion and emission monitoring,
and electronics for combustion control for aeronautical and automotive engines. However, these devices cannot be used until
they can be packaged in appropriate forms for specific applications. Suitable packaging technology for operation temperatures
up to 500 C and beyond is not commercially available. Thus, the development of a systematic high-temperature packaging
technology for SiC-based microsystems is essential for both in situ testing and commercializing high-temperature SiC sensors
and electronics. In response to these needs, researchers at Glenn innovatively designed, fabricated, and assembled a new
prototype electronic package for high-temperature electronic microsystems using ceramic substrates (aluminum nitride and
aluminum oxide) and gold (Au) thick-film metallization. Packaging components include a ceramic packaging frame, thick-film
metallization-based interconnection system, and a low electrical resistance SiC die-attachment scheme. Both the materials and
fabrication process of the basic packaging components have been tested with an in-house-fabricated SiC semiconductor test
chip in an oxidizing environment at temperatures from room temperature to 500 C for more than 1000 hr. These test results
set lifetime records for both high-temperature electronic packaging and high-temperature electronic device testing. As
required, the thick-film-based interconnection system demonstrated low (2.5 times of the room-temperature resistance of the
Au conductor) and stable (decreased 3 percent in 1500 hr of continuous testing) electrical resistance at 500 C in an oxidizing
environment. Also as required, the electrical isolation impedance between printed wires that were not electrically joined by
a wire bond remained high (greater than 0.4 GW) at 500 C in air. The attached SiC diode demonstrated low (less than 3.8
W/mm2) and relatively consistent dynamic resistance from room temperature to 500 C. These results indicate that the
prototype package and the compatible die-attach scheme meet the initial design standards for high-temperature, low-power,
and long-term operation. This technology will be further developed and evaluated, especially with more mechanical tests of
each packaging element for operation at higher temperatures and longer lifetimes.

A second generation PMR (in situ Polymerization of Monomer Reactants) polyimide resin PMR-II-50, has been
considered for high temperature and high stiffness space propulsion composites applications for its improved high temperature
performance. As part of composite processing optimization, two commercial prepregging methods: solution vs. hot-melt
processes were investigated with M40J fabrics from Toray. In a previous study a systematic chemical, physical, thermal and
mechanical characterization of these composites indicated the poor resin-fiber interfacial wetting, especially for the hot-melt
process, resulted in poor composite quality. In order to improve the interfacial wetting, optimization of the resin viscosity and
process variables were attempted in a commercial hot-melt prepregging line. In addition to presenting the results from the
prepreg quality optimization trials, the combined effects of the prepregging method and two different composite cure methods,
i.e. hot press vs. autoclave on composite quality and properties are discussed.

A prerequisite for full utilization of composite materials in aerospace components is accurate design and life prediction
tools that enable the assessment of component performance and reliability. Such tools assist both structural analysts, who
design and optimize structures composed of composite materials, and materials scientists who design and optimize the
composite materials themselves. NASA Glenn Research Center’s Micromechanics Analysis Code with Generalized Method
of Cells (MAC/GMC) software package (http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/LPB/mac) addresses this need for composite design
and life prediction tools by providing a widely applicable and accurate approach to modeling composite materials.
Furthermore, MAC/GMC serves as a platform for incorporating new local models and capabilities that are under development
at NASA, thus enabling these new capabilities to progress rapidly to a stage in which they can be employed by the code’s end
users.

Particle-reinforced composites are candidate materials for a wide variety of aerospace and nonaerospace applications. The
high costs and technical difficulties involved with the use of many fiber-reinforced composites often limit their use in many
applications. Consequently, particulate composites have emerged as viable alternatives to conventional fiber-reinforced
composites. Particulate composites can be processed to near net shapepotentially reducing the manufacturing costs. They are
candidate materials where shock or impact properties are important. For example, particle-reinforced metal matrix composites
have shown great potential for many automotive applications. Typically, these materials are aluminum matrix reinforced with
SiC or TiC particles. Reinforced concrete can also be thought of as a particle-reinforced composite. In situ ceramics can be
modeled as particulate composites and are candidate materials for many high-temperature applications. The characterization
of these materials is fundamental to their reliable use. It has been observed that the overall properties of these composites
exhibit scatter because of the uncertainty in the constituent material properties, and fabrication-related parameters.

Ceramic thermal/environmental barrier coatings for SiC-based ceramics will play an increasingly important role in future
gas turbine engines because of their ability to effectively protect the engine components and further raise engine temperatures.
However, the coating durability remains a major concern with the ever-increasing temperature requirements. Currently,
advanced T/EBC systems, which typically include a high temperature capable zirconia- (or hahia-) based oxide top coat
(thermal barrier) on a less temperature capable mullite/barium-strontium-aluminosilicate (BSAS)/Si inner coat (environmental
barrier), are being developed and tested for higher temperature capability Sic combustor applications. In this paper, durability
of several thermal/environmental barrier coating systems on SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composites was investigated under laser
simulated engine thermal gradient cyclic, and 1650 C (3000 F) test conditions. The coating cracking and delamination
processes were monitored and evaluated. The effects of temperature gradients and coating configurations on the ceramic
coating crack initiation and propagation were analyzed using finite element analysis (FEA) models based on the observed
failure mechanisms, in conjunction with mechanical testing results. The environmental effects on the coating durability will
be discussed. The coating design approach will also be presented.

Metal-catalyzed carbon nanotubes are highly ordered carbon structures of nanoscale dimensions. They may be thought
of as hollow cylinders whose walls are formed by single atomic layers of graphite. Such cylinders may be composed of many
nested, concentric atomic layers of carbon or only a single layer, the latter forming a single-walled carbon nanotube. This
article reports unique results using a flame for their synthesis. Only recently were carbon nanotubes discovered within an arc
discharge and recognized as fullerene derivatives. Today metal-catalyzed carbon nanotubes are of great interest for many
reasons. They can be used as supports for the metal catalysts like those found in catalytic converters. Open-ended nanotubes
are highly desirable because they can be filled by other elements, metals or gases, for battery and fuel cell applications.
83
Because of their highly crystalline structure, they are significantly stronger than the commercial carbon fibers that are currently
available (10 times as strong as steel but possessing one-sixth of the weight). This property makes them highly desirable for
strengthening polymer and ceramic composite materials. Current methods of synthesizing carbon nanotubes include thermal
pyrolysis of organometallics, laser ablation of metal targets within hydrocarbon atmospheres at high temperatures, and arc
discharges. Each of these methods is costly, and it is unclear if they can be scaled for the commercial synthesis of carbon
nanotubes. In contrast, flame synthesis is an economical means of bulk synthesis of a variety of aerosol materials such as
carbon black. Flame synthesis of carbon nanotubes could potentially realize an economy of scale that would enable their use
in common structural materials such as car-body panels. The top figure is a transmission electron micrograph of a multiwalled
carbon nanotube. The image shows a cross section of the atomic structure of the nanotube. The dark lines are individual atomic
layer planes of carbon, seen here in cross section. They form a nested series of concentric cylinders, much like the growth rings
on a tree. This sample was obtained by the supported catalyst method, whereby the nanoscale catalysts are dispersed on a
substrate providing their support. The substrate with catalyst particles was immersed within an acetylene diffusion flame to
which nitrogen had been added to eliminate soot formation. Upon removal from the flame, the nanotubes were dispersed on
a holder suitable for electron microscopy. Although not seen in the figure, the tube diameter reflects that of the catalyst particle.

using room temperature Hall effect measurements. From this data the Hall mobility, sheet carrier concentration, and electrical
activation efficiencies were calculated. Activation efficiencies of almost 100% were achieved for Al(0.2)Ga(0.8)N samples
having doses of 5x10(exp 13) and 1x10(exp 14) /sq cm after annealing at 1350 and 1300 C, respectively, for 20 minutes. After
annealing at 1250 C for 20 minutes, 87% efficiency was achieved for Al(0.1)Ga(0.9)N implanted with 1x10(exp 14) /sq cm
silicon ions. The largest observed mobility was 89 /sq cm/V’s for Al(0.1) Ga(0.9)N implanted with 1x10(exp 14) /sq cm and
5x10(exp 13) /sq cm silicon ions and annealed at 1250 degrees C for 20 minutes and at 1200 degrees C for 40 minutes,
respectively. The optimal anneal condition to maximize electrical activation efficiency and minimize nitrogen dissociation
damage for Al(0.1)Ga(0. 9)N was 1200 C anneal for 40 minutes. The mobilities, sheet carrier concentrations, and electrical
activation efficiencies generally increased.

Ebola virus (EBOV), an emerging pathogen, is the causative agent of a rapidly progressive hemorrhagic fever with high
mortality rates. There are currently no approved vaccines or treatments available for Ebola hemorrhagic fever. Standard plaque
assays are currently the only reliable techniques for enumerating the virus. Effective drug-discovery screening as well as target
identification and validation require simple and more rapid detection methods. This report describes the development of a rapid
ELISA that measures virus release with high sensitivity. This assay detects both Ebola virus and EBOV-like particles (VLPs)
directly from cell-culture supernatants with the VP40 matrix protein serving as antigen. Using this assay, the contribution of
the EBOV nucleocapsid (NC) proteins in VLP release was determined. These findings indicate that a combination of NC
proteins together with the envelope components is optimal for VLP formation and release, a finding that is important for
vaccination with Ebola VLPs. Furthermore, this assay can be used in surrogate models in non-biocontainment environment,
facilitating both basic research on the mechanism of EBOV assembly and budding as well as drug-discovery research.

Dimensional changes related to temperature cycling of the beta and deltapolymorphs of HMX (octahydro-1,
3,5,7-tetranitro- 1,3,5,7-tetrazocine) areimportant for a variety of applications. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of
the beta and delta phases are measured and reported in this work over a temperature range of 20 degrees C to 215 degrees
C. In addition, dimensional changes associated with the phase transition were measured, both through the transition and back
down. Initially, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to investigate back conversion of the delta phase to the beta
phase polymorph. The most successful approach was first to measure the amount of the beta to deltaconversion, then after a
given cooling period a repeat analysis, to measure the heat consumed by a second pass through the beta to delta phase
transition. In addition, TMA is used to measure the dimensional change of a 0.20-gram sample of HMX during its initial
heating and then three days later during a 2nd heating. This HMX shows the beta to delta phase transition a second time,
thereby confirming the back conversion from delta to beta phase HMX.

Flame Design: A Novel Approach Developed to Produce Clean, Efficient Diffusion Flames

Soot formation and flame extinction are vital concerns in the combustion of fossil fuels. In particular, soot is responsible
for pollutant emissions, and extinction can cause inefficient or unstable burning. Normal-gravity experiments have
demonstrated that flames can be designed to improve both characteristics by redirecting some or all of the nitrogen from the
oxidizer into the fuel. Such nitrogen exchange can produce permanently blue flames, which are soot free under all possible
flame conditions. Furthermore, this approach can lead to stronger, extinction-resistant flames. Past investigations of nitrogen
exchange were unable to identify the physical mechanisms responsible for its benefits because these mechanisms cannot be
isolated when normal-gravity flames are studied. In contrast, the Diffusion Flame Extinction and Soot Inception (DESI)
experiment considers spherical flames, where nearly perfect spherical symmetry affords new levels of control. Because of
buoyancy, spherical flames cannot be created in Earth s gravity. DESI was conceived by principal investigator Professor R.L.
Axelbaum of Washington University in St. Louis. Tests to date have utilized the 2.2-Second Drop Tower at the NASA Glenn
Research Center at Lewis Field. The experiment is slated for testing aboard the International Space Station in a few years. Two
mechanisms have been proposed to explain the connection between nitrogen exchange and permanently blue flames. These
are the structure (chemical effects) and hydrodynamics (flow direction and speed). In normal-gravity flames, the structure and
hydrodynamics are coupled, since nitrogen exchange simultaneously modifies both. Spherical microgravity flames, on the
other hand, allow independent control of these factors. Specifically, structure can be modified via nitrogen exchange, and flow
direction can be reversed by swapping the ambient and burner-feed gases. In DESI, these variations can be accomplished
without changing the theoretical flame temperature.

Atomic Oxygen Interactions With Silicone Contamination on Spacecraft in Low Earth Orbit Studied
Banks, Bruce A.; Research and Technology 2000; March 2001; 2 pp.; In English; Original contains color illustrations; No
Copyright; Avail: CASI; A01, Hardcopy
Silicones have been widely used on spacecraft as potting compounds, adhesives, seals, gaskets, hydrophobic surfaces, and
atomic oxygen protective coatings. Contamination of optical and thermal control surfaces on spacecraft in low Earth orbit
(LEO) has been an ever-present problem as a result of the interaction of atomic oxygen with volatile species from silicones
and hydrocarbons onboard spacecraft. These interactions can deposit a contaminant that is a risk to spacecraft performance
because it can form an optically absorbing film on the surfaces of Sun sensors, star trackers, or optical components or can
increase the solar absorptance of thermal control surfaces. The transmittance, absorptance, and reflectance of such contaminant
films seem to vary widely from very transparent SiOx films to much more absorbing SiOx-based films that contain
hydrocarbons. At the NASA Glenn Research Center, silicone contamination that was oxidized by atomic oxygen has been
examined from LEO spacecraft (including the Long Duration Exposure Facility and the Mir space station solar arrays) and
from ground laboratory LEO simulations. The findings resulted in the development of predictive models that may help explain
the underlying issues and effects. Atomic oxygen interactions with silicone volatiles and mixtures of silicone and hydrocarbon
volatiles produce glassy SiOx-based contaminant coatings. The addition of hydrocarbon volatiles in the presence of silicone
volatiles appears to cause much more absorbing (and consequently less transmitting) contaminant films than when no
hydrocarbon volatiles are present. On the basis of the LDEF and Mir results, conditions of high atomic oxygen flux relative
to low contaminant flux appear to result in more transparent contaminant films than do conditions of low atomic oxygen flux
with high contaminant flux. Modeling predictions indicate that the deposition of contaminant films early in a LEO flight should
depend much more on atomic oxygen flux than it does later in a mission.

by approximately 50 percent in comparison to that for pristine Al-FEP. X-ray-exposed samples were stored in air or under
vacuum for various time periods to see the effect of storage on tensile properties. Tensile results indicated that samples stored
in air had larger decreases in tensile properties than samples stored under vacuum had, as seen in the graph. Samples stored
under vacuum (for up to 400 hr) showed no further decrease in tensile properties over time, whereas samples stored in air (for
up to 900 hr) appeared to show decreases in tensile properties over time. X-ray-exposed samples stored in air developed a hazy
appearance in the exposed area, as seen in the photographs. When the source of the haziness was evaluated using scanning
electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, it was found to reside at the Al/FEP interface as witnessed by an increased
surface roughness of the aluminized side of the material and a dramatic decrease in the adhesion between the Al and FEP.
Optical properties of air-stored irradiated samples showed an increase in the diffuse reflectance, which is consistent with
observed roughening that was characterized by AFM. These findings indicate that air exposure helps degrade x-ray-irradiated
FEP. These results indicate that proper sample handling and storage is necessary with space-retrieved materials and with those
exposed to ground-based irradiation simulation exposures.

LYS(11-36) were studied by fluorescence anisotropy. This peptide, derived from the (beta)-sheet region of the T4 lysozyme
molecule, has the potential to form amyloid fibrils. 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) induces a change in peptide secondary
structure, and was used in aqueous solutions at concentrations from 0 to 50% (v/v) at 25 and 37 C to examine the role of
peptide conformation on peptide-peptide interactions. The association constant for dimerization increased with rising TFE
concentration and with falling temperature. The peptide-peptide potential of mean force was computed from these association
constants. Circular-dichroism measurements showed that the secondary structure of the peptide plays an important role in
these strong attractive interactions due to intermolecular hydrogen-bond formation and hydrophobic interactions.

There is much demand for chemical kinetic models to represent practical fuels such as gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel.
These blended fuels contain hundreds of components whose identity and amounts are often unknown. A chemical kinetic
mechanism that would represent the oxidation of all these species with accompanying chemical reactions is intractable with
current computational capabilities, chemical knowledge and manpower resources. The use of surrogate fuels is an approach
to make the development of chemical kinetic mechanisms for practical fuels tractable. A surrogate fuel model consists of a
small number of fuel components that can be used to represent the practical fuel and still predict desired characteristics of the
practical fuel. These desired fuel characteristics may include ignition behavior, burning velocity, fuel viscosity, fuel
vaporization, and fuel emissions (carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, soot and nitric oxides). Gasoline consists of many different
classes of hydrocarbons including n-alkanes, alkenes, iso-alkanes, cycloalkanes, cycloalkenes, and aromatics. One approach
is to use a fuel surrogate that has a single component from each class of hydrocarbon in gasoline so that the unique molecular
structure of each class is represented. This approach may lead to reliable predictions of many of the combustion properties
of the practical fuel. In order to obtain a fuel surrogate mechanism, detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms must be developed
for each component in the surrogate. In this study, a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism is developed for disobutylene, a fuel
intended to represent alkenes in practical fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel.

Structural integrity and reliability of torque tube actuators must be assured before this material can be used in flight-critical
components. Thorough understanding of the fatigue response of the material is essential for a structurally-sound SMA actuator
design. The present effort investigates pure torsion and combined tension-torsion fatigue behavior of Nitinol at room
temperature. Monotonic tests in tension and torsion were conducted to typify uni-directional stress-strain behavior.
Fully-reversed torsion fatigue tests were conducted with shear stress ranges of 416, 584, 674, and 1310 MPa. In fully-reversed
biaxial fatigue tests, a shear stress range of 500 MPa was superimposed on the axial stress ranges of 250, 500, 1000, 1120,
and 1500 MPa. Fatigue behavioral characteristics, including fatigue S-N curves were established. Fatigue lives obtained in
torsion-dominated biaxial tests were similar to those obtained in pure torsion. Conversely, tension-dominated biaxial fatigue
was significantly more damaging, resulting in decreased fatigue lives. Applicability of von Mises criterion to correlating
uniaxial and biaxial test results was examined. Evolution of stress-strain behavior with cycling is discussed.

A fifth area of interest was to determine if the releases were limited by iron saturation of the solution. The data obtained from
the entire study will be compared with the data from the High Level Waste Glass (HLWG) form previously qualified for
repository disposal. Even though the MWF samples used in these tests contained no actinides and no Tc, conclusions can be
made with respect to the releases of the noble metal fission products and the stainless steel constituents. Fe releases are an
order of magnitude or higher than the releases of the noble metal fission-product elements in all solutions. Releases of noble
metal fission products and Cr and Ni in SJ13 and CJ13 solutions at 90 C are close to the limits of detection. Solution
concentration increased the Zr release. Zr releases from CJ13 were about a factor of 2 lower than the Fe release. In CJ13, Zr
releases from oxidized samples were higher than from polished samples. Releases of all elements increased in the AJ13, pH=2
solution. Total cumulative releases as a function of time continued to increase for the 308 days of tests unlike the behavior
in other test solutions. Tests in solutions with pH between 2 and 8 are needed to understand the different behavior. Except for
high chloride solutions, (10KCl), release rates of stainless steel elements and noble metal fission products from the MWF
samples are lower than release rates from HLWG.

Advanced ferritic/martensitic steels are being used extensively in fossil energy applications. New steels such as 2
1/4Cr-W-V (T23, T24), 3Cr-W-V, 9Cr-Mo-V (T91), 7Cr-W-V, 9Cr-W-V (T92 and T911), and 12Cr-W-V (T122, SAVE 12, and
NF12) are examples of tubing being used in boilers and heat recovery steam generators (1). Other products for these new steels
101
include piping, plates, and forgings. There is concern about the high-temperature performance of the advanced steels for
several reasons. First, they exhibit a higher sensitivity to temperature than the 300 series stainless steels that they often replace.
Second, they tend to be metallurgically unstable and undergo significant degradation at service temperatures in the creep
range. Third, the experience base is limited in regard to duration. Fourth, they will be used for thick-section, high-pressure
components that require high levels of integrity. To better understand the potential limitations of these steels, damage models
are being developed that consider metallurgical factors as well as mechanical performance factors. Grade 91 steel was chosen
as representative of these steels for evaluation of cumulative damage models since laboratory and service exposures of grade
91 exceed 100,000 hours.

studied at 873 K. Precipitates with radii as small as 0.45 nm are characterized fully by three-dimensional atom-probe (3DAP)
microscopy. Contrary to what is often assumed by theory or in models, the average precipitate composition is shown to evolve
with time, such that solute concentrations decrease toward an equilibrium value given by the solvus lines. Power-law time
dependencies of the number density, mean radius, and supersaturations of Al and Cr are discussed in light of theoretical
predictions for Ostwald ripening.

used in components with exposures to temperatures as high as 290 C, which leads to substantial reductions in weight, as much
as 30 percent over metal components. PMR-15 composites are used widely in aerospace applications ranging from ducts and
external components in aircraft engines to an engine access door for the Space Shuttle Main Engine. A major barrier to more
widespread use of these materials is high component costs. Recent efforts at Glenn have addressed the various factors that
contribute to these costs in an attempt to more fully utilize these lightweight, high-temperature materials.

Silicon-based ceramics are promising candidate structural materials for heat engines. The long-term stability of these
materials to environmental degradation is dependent on the formation and retention of a protective SiO2 layer. It is well known
that SiO2 forms stable volatile hydroxides in the presence of water vapor at elevated temperatures. Combustion conditions,
which characteristically are at high velocities, contain significant water vapor pressures, and high temperatures tend to promote
continuous formation of these hydroxides with resulting material degradation. For the degradation of silicon-based ceramics
to be predicted, accurate thermodynamic data on the formation of silicon hydroxides are needed.

Silicon-based ceramics, such as SiC/SiC composites and Si3N4, are the prime candidates for hot section structural
components of next-generation gas turbines. A key barrier to such an application is the rapid recession of silicon-based
ceramics in combustion environments because of the volatilization of silica scale by water vapor (refs. 1 and 2). Environmental

Research has shown that performance of liquid hydrocarbon fueled pulse detonation engines is limited by the time
required to evaporate liquid fuel droplets within the mixture. Vaporization of liquid fuels prior to injection has been shown
to decrease ignition times and also increases fuel efficiency; however, the size and efficiency of the vaporization system used
are not feasible for use in future pulse detonation aircraft concepts. The purpose of this research is to harness the waste heat
of pulse detonation engine thrust tubes to generate a steady-state, self-sustained flash vaporization and supercritical heating
system using JP-8 as the working fluid and fuel. Using a pulse detonation engine thrust tube mounted heat exchanger, the
successful flash vaporization of JP-8 has been demonstrated. Additional testing demonstrated the successful heating of JP-8
to supercritical conditions with fuel injection temperatures over 760 K. All JP-8 flash vaporization and supercritical heating
tests were sustained by the heated fuel and run to steady-state conditions. Heat addition rates to the fuel of up to 7.7 kW were
achieved during superheated testing. A method for experimentally determining supercritical fluid density is presented based
on the findings of the supercritical heating tests.

The objective of this study at the NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field is to hone our understanding of
spontaneous chemical reactions and determine the various factors that influence when, where, and how cool flames and
autoignitions develop. These factors include the molecular structure of the fuel, the pressure and temperature of the mixture,
and the various ways in which heat can be lost - through conduction, convection, or radiation. Generally, radiation heat transfer
is weak at low temperatures, and most of the heat is lost through convection or conduction.

Zero-Boiloff Cryogenic Storage Cryocooler Integration Test
Plachta, David W.; Research and Technology 2000; March 2001; 2 pp.; In English; No Copyright; Avail: CASI; A01,
Hardcopy
Developments in NASA Glenn Research Center’s Centaur work have led to an exciting new cryogenic storage concept
being considered for future NASA space missions. With long-duration cryogenic storage, propellants will boil off because of
the environmental heating of the tank. To accommodate these losses, extra propellant is required along with larger propellant
tanks. Analyses of space transportation concepts show that spacetransfer cryogenic stages with the zero boiloff (ZBO)
cryogenic storage concept reduce the stage mass for missions longer than approximately 45 days in low Earth orbit. The ZBO
system consists of an active cryocooling system using a cryocooler in addition to traditional passive thermal insulation.
Engineers at Glenn analyzed, designed, built, and bench tested a heat exchanger and integration hardware for a large-scale
ZBO demonstration for the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. The heat exchanger, which transfers the heat that enters the
tank from the fluid to the cryocooler, must limit the temperature difference across it to limit the cryocooler size and power
requirements. With a low temperature difference, the system efficiency is improved. For that temperature difference to be
reduced, the thermal conductivity must be as high as possible at liquid hydrogen temperatures, around 25 K (-248 C). In
addition, it is important for the heat exchanger to be welded to a stainless steel flange and have enough strength to
accommodate piping stress. High-conductivity copper was selected and fabricated, then integrated with the stainless steel
piping tee as shown in the cutaway representation. Literature showed that this conductivity might range from 2 to 100 W/cm/K
but that is was likely to be around 13 W/cm/K. Unexpectedly, this conductivity was measured to be 23 W/cm/K, which limited
the temperature increase along the heat exchanger to just 2 K. This limited temperature increase, compared with the predicted
difference of 3.5 K, improves the overall system efficiency by 7.4 percent and limits the expected integration losses to a
projected 4 percent with a flight design for liquid hydrogen storage. These results improve the cryocooler integration concept
by allowing the cryocooler to operate at a lower input power, or by potentially permitting a smaller cryocooler to be selected.

A simplified kinetic scheme for Jet-A, and methane fuels with water injection was developed to be used in numerical
combustion codes, such as the National Combustor Code (NCC) or even simple FORTRAN codes. The two time step method
is either an initial time averaged value (step one) or an instantaneous value (step two). The switch is based on the water
concentration in moles/cc of 1x10(exp -20). The results presented here results in a correlation that gives the chemical kinetic
time as two separate functions. This two time step method is used as opposed to a one step time averaged method previously
developed to determine the chemical kinetic time with increased accuracy. The first time averaged step is used at the initial
times for smaller water concentrations. This gives the average chemical kinetic time as a function of initial overall fuel air
ratio, initial water to fuel mass ratio, temperature, and pressure. The second instantaneous step, to be used with higher water
concentrations, gives the chemical kinetic time as a function of instantaneous fuel and water mole concentration, pressure and
temperature (T4). The simple correlations would then be compared to the turbulent mixing times to determine the limiting
rates of the reaction. The NASA Glenn GLSENS kinetics code calculates the reaction rates and rate constants for each species
in a kinetic scheme for finite kinetic rates. These reaction rates are used to calculate the necessary chemical kinetic times.
Chemical kinetic time equations for fuel, carbon monoxide and NOx are obtained for Jet-A fuel and methane with and without
water injection to water mass loadings of 2/1 water to fuel. A similar correlation was also developed using data from NASA’s
Chemical Equilibrium Applications (CEA) code to determine the equilibrium concentrations of carbon monoxide and nitrogen
oxide as functions of overall equivalence ratio, water to fuel mass ratio, pressure and temperature (T3). The temperature of
the gas entering the turbine (T4) was also correlated as a function of the initial combustor temperature (T3), equivalence ratio,
water to fuel mass ratio, and pressure.

required because, on Earth, index-matched colloidal dispersions often cannot be density matched, resulting in significant
settling over the crystallization period. This settling makes them a poor model of the equilibrium atomic system, where the
effect of gravity is truly negligible. For this purpose, a customized light-scattering instrument was designed, built, and flown
by the NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field on the space shuttle (shuttle missions STS 83 and STS 94). This
instrument performed both static and dynamic light scattering, with sample oscillation for determining rheological properties.
Scattered light from a 532- nm laser was recorded either by a 10-bit charge-coupled discharge (CCD) camera from a concentric
screen covering angles of 0 to 60 or by sensitive avalanche photodiode detectors, which convert the photons into binary data
from which two correlators compute autocorrelation functions. The sample cell was driven by a direct-current servomotor to
allow sinusoidal oscillation for the measurement of rheological properties. Significant microgravity research findings include
the observation of beautiful dendritic crystals, the crystallization of a ‘glassy phase’ sample in microgravity that did not
crystallize for over 1 year in 1g (Earth’s gravity), and the emergence of face-centered-cubic (FCC) crystals late in the
coarsening process (as small crystallites lost particles to the slow ripening of large crystallites). Significant quantitative
findings from the microgravity experiments have been developed describing complex interactions among crystallites during
the growth process, as concentration fields overlap in the surrounding disordered phase. Time-resolved Bragg scattering under
microgravity captures one effect of these interactions quite conclusively for the sample at a volume fraction of 0.528. From
the earliest time until the sample is almost fully crystalline, the size and overall crystallinity grow monotonically, but the
number of crystallites per unit volume (number density) falls. Apparently nucleation is slower than the loss of crystallites
because of the transfer of particles from small to large crystals. Thus, coarsening occurs simultaneously with growth, rather
than following the completion of nucleation and growth as is generally assumed. In the same sample, an interesting signature
appears in the apparent number density of crystallites and the volume fraction within the crystallites shortly before full
crystallinity is reached. A brief upturn in both indicates the creation of more domains of the size of the average crystallite
simultaneous with the compression of the crystallites. Only the emergence of dendritic arms offers a reasonable explanation.
The arms would be ‘seen’ by the light scattering as separate domains whose smaller radii of curvature would compress the
interior phase. In fiscal year 1999, numerous papers, a doctoral dissertation, and the PHaSE final report were produced.
Although this flight project has been completed, plans are in place for a follow-on colloid experiment by Chaikin and Russel
that employs a light microscope within Glenn’s Fluids and Combustion Facility on the International Space Station. PHaSE
is providing us with a deeper understanding of the nure of phase transitions. The knowledge derived has added to the
understanding of condensed matter. In addition, the burgeoning study of the dynamics of colloidal self-assembly may lead to
the development of a range of photonic materials that control the desirable properties of light. Thus, applications of ordered
colloidal structures include not only ultrastructure ceramics, but also photonic crystals and photothermal nanosecond
light-switching devices. Industries dealing with semiconductors, electro-optics, ceramics, and composites stand to benefit from
such advancements.

Dendrites describe the treelike crystal morphology commonly assumed in metals and alloys that freeze from supercooled
or supersaturated melts. There remains a high level of engineering interest in dendritic solidification because the size, shape,
and orientation of the dendrites determine the final microstructure of a material. It is the microstructure that then determines
the physical properties of cast or welded products. Although it is well known that dendritic growth is controlled by the
transport of latent heat from the moving solid-liquid interface, an accurate and predictive model has not yet been developed.
The effects of gravity-induced convection on the transfer of heat from the interface have prevented adequate testing, under
terrestrial conditions, of solidification models. The Isothermal Dendritic Growth Experiment (IDGE) constituted a series of
three microgravity experiments flown aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia. The apparatus was used to grow and record dendrite
solidification in the absence of gravity-induced convective heat transfer, thereby producing a wealth of benchmark-quality data
for testing solidification models and theories.

The flames lack the familiar upward plume, which is the result of gravitational buoyancy. These flames, however, are strongly
influenced by minor airflow currents. A recent study conducted in low gravity (microgravity) on the Russian orbital station
Mir used burning plastic rods mounted in a small chamber with a controllable fan to expose the flame to airflows of different
velocities. In this unique project, a Russian scientific agency, the Keldysh Research Center, furnished the apparatus and
directed the Mir tests, while the NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field provided the test materials and the project
management. Reference testing and calibrations in ground laboratories were conducted jointly by researchers at Keldysh and
at the NASA Johnson Space Center’s White Sands Test Facility. Multiple samples of three different plastics were burned in
the tests: Delrin, a common material for valve bodies; PMMA, a plastic ‘glass"; and polyethylene, a familiar material
for containers and films. Each burned with a unique spherical or egg-shaped flame that spread over the rod. The effect of
varying the airflow was dramatic. At the highest airflow attainable in the combustion chamber, nearly 10 cm/sec (a typical
ventilation breeze), the flames were bright and strong. As airflow velocity decreased, the flames became shorter but wider. In
addition, the flames became less bright, and for PMMA and polyethylene, they showed two colors, a bright part decreasing
in volume and a nearly invisible remainder (see the photographs). Finally, at a very low velocity, the flames extinguished. For
the plastics tested, this minimum velocity was very low, around 0.3 to 0.5 cm/sec. This finding confirms that at least a slight
airflow is required to maintain a flame in microgravity for these types of materials.

Traditional military command & control (C2) usually evokes images of operators in command centers. We consider
mounted or dismounted Soldier going from points A to B in interconnected, information rich battlefield. This is C2 on a
different scale. While the digital battlefield provides a tremendous amount of information to gain a tactical advantage, there
are challenges to meet. The challenge is to sift through this information and identify critical information to help plan or re-plan
the mission. The team of 21st Century, Inc. and University of Missouri - Rolla is developing an agent-based decision-aiding
system and technologies to train and assist the Soldier through that challenge. Our research examines planning and interactive
terrain analysis incorporating spatial and temporal terrain details and dynamically changing intelligence information through
battlefield networks. When given the mission intent, the system will be able to provide dynamic guidance for interactive terrain
analysis and mission planning. Our system will be for the Soldier of the future trained in virtual, scenario-based simulation
environments. Rather than developing specialized training environments, the emphasis of our system is embedded training of
the Soldier so that the training interface is created around the Soldier’s actual combat vehicle and systems.

Looking forward into the next century, our overriding challenge is to provide the nation’s warriors with the tools they need
to achieve battlespace information dominance. This Strategic Plan is SSC San Diego’s blueprint to meet that challenge. The
plan is both a vehicle for carrying us into the future and a set of guidelines for addressing near-term tactical issues. As an
organization, we believe that strategic planning provides a critically needed context for adopting dynamic, agile processes to
better use our corporate resources and meet our customers’ needs. The plan defines our corporate vision, strategic objectives
to realize that vision, and actions to achieve, those objectives. Realizing our vision - to be the nation’s pre-eminent provider
of integrated C4ISR solutions for warrior information dominance - is our enduring goal. Our plan specifies five long-range
strategic objectives. SSC San Diego’s Executive Board has defined and agreed upon these five objectives and has selected
measurable, time-specific actions we must take to achieve them. The objectives address financial, programmatic, workforce
and business processes we need to build to sustain our competitive advantage as we continually reposition ourselves to reflect
changing environments.

This report gives an overview of the ESOC Analysis Centre activities and a presentation of the activities during the year
2001. This year the ESOC AC activities have continued uninterrupted and have consolidated with the timely delivery of all
the products part of the IGS and participation in several of the IGS Working Groups and Pilot Projects. There have been no
major changes to the routine processing during 2001 except for the inclusion in the UltraRapid product of satellite clock bias
values (estimated and predicted). Currently ESOC’s GPS-TDAF (Tracking and data Analysis Facility) handles automatically
the ESA ground receiver network, the IGS network data retrieval and storage and all of the routine daily and weekly data
processing of the different IGS products. The system is capable of performing autonomous operations for up to about five days.

Three GPS orbit and clock products are currently provided by JPL for consideration by the IGS. Each differs in its latency
and quality, with later results being more accurate. Results are typically available in both IGS and GIPSY formats via
anonymous ftp. Current performance based on comparisons with the IGS final products is summarized. Orbit performance was
determined by computing the 3D RMS difference between each JPL product and the IGS final orbits based on 15 minute
125
estimates from the sp3 files. Clock performance was computed as the RMS difference after subtracting a linear trend based
on 15 minute estimates from the sp3 files.

During the year 2001 ESOC has continued the plans to upgrade the stations with Ashtech Z-XII receivers. The following
summarizes the status and upgrades that took place in 2001: In Kiruna (KIRU) the receiver in operation was an AOA
SNR-8100 ACT that was upgraded the previous year (September 2000). In Kourou (KOUR) the Ashtech Z-XII had been
upgraded in March 2000. In Malindi (MALI) the Ashtech Z-XII was installed in April 2001 to replace the TurboRogue
receiver. Maspalomas (MAS1) was the first ACT upgrade in August 1999, but the new receiver failed some months later and
had to be replaced by an Ashtech Z-XII in December 2000. During 2001 the receiver performance was nominal. In Perth
(PERT), due to the geographical location, the cross correlation receiver had an acceptable performance and the receiver was
only replaced in June 2001 after the failure of the TurboRogue. Villafranca (VILL) was upgraded to an AOA ACT receiver
126
in July 2000. A similar situation to Maspalomas with a failure of the upgraded receiver some months later made necessary the
replacement by an Ashtech Z-XII by the beginning of 2001.

In 2001 the 3rd Local Analysis Center (LAC) Workshop took place in Warsaw, Poland. It was settled at that workshop
to change some processing options with the beginning of GPS week 1130 to improve the EPN products. The LAC s solutions
are fixed to the current ITRF since the same week in order to support the EPN Troposphere Special Project, and a coordinate
resubstitution is applied in the final estimation of the hourly troposphere parameters. The ITRF2000 reference frame is used
in the EPN analysis since week 1143 according to the changes within the IGS.

In 2001, seven nations developing future Aerospace Ground Surveillance and Reconnaissance (AGS&R) applications
initiated the Coalition Aerial Surveillance and Reconnaissance (CAESAR) Project. This paper is focused on AGS&R, which
provides a substantial subset of the overall Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) effort. The findings presented
in this paper are based on a set of exercises conducted from project inception up to June 2004. Several AGS&R architectures
were tested with numerous sensor and exploitation capabilities providing support. The sensors applied included JSTARS,
ASTOR, HORIZON, CRESO, GLOBAL HAWK and RADARSAT-2. These sensors were used to provide Ground Moving
Target Indicator (GMTI) data, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images and Link 16 Ground Tracks to airborne and ground
based exploitation stations. Within the AGS&R architecture, various data streams are stored and made accessible through a
CAESAR Shared Database (CSD), which supports network centric operations. Some of the features of the CSD are explained.
The Multi-Sensor Aerospace-Ground Joint Interoperable Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Coalition (MAJIIC)
project will expand on the findings of CAESAR in the years 2005 to 2009.

mW. The antenna is approximately 43-cm high by 24-cm wide by 3.3-cm thick. It can be steered beyond 60 from broadside.
The beamwidth varies from 6 at broadside to 12 degrees at 60 degrees, which is typical of phased-array antennas. When the
antenna is steered to 60 degrees, the beamwidth will illuminate approximately five satellites on the orbital arc. Spread
spectrum techniques will be employed to keep the power impinging on the adjacent satellites below their noise floor so that
no interference results. This antenna is power limited. If the antenna elements (currently 254) are increased by a factor of 4
(1024) or 16 (4096), the gain will increase and the beamwidth will decrease in proportion. For the latter two antenna sizes,
the power must be ‘backed off’ to prevent interference with the neighboring satellites. The receiving antenna, which is
approximately 90-cm high, 60-cm wide, and 3.5-cm thick, is composed of 1500 phased-array elements. The system
phased-array controller can control both a 1500-element receiving antenna and a 500-element transmitting antenna. For
ground testing, this controller will allow manual beam pointing and polarization alignment. For normal operation, the system
can be connected to the receiving antenna and the navigation system for real-time autonomous track operation. This will be
accomplished by first pointing both antennas at the satellite using information from the aircraft data bus. Then, the system
phased-array controller will electronically adjust the antenna pointing of the receiving antenna to find the peak signal. After
the peak signal has been found, the beam of the transmitting antenna will be pointed to the same steering angles as the
receiving antenna. For initial ground testing without an aircraft, the ARINC 429 data bus (ARINC Inc., Annapolis, Maryland)
will be simulated by a gyro system purchased for the follow-on to the Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC)
Arrays for Satellite Communication on the Move (MASCOM) Project. MASCOM utilized the Advanced Communications
Technology Satellite (ACTS) with a pair of Ka-band experimental phased-array antennas.

A fundamental problem in networking is the allocation of limited resources among the users of the network. In a
traditional layered network architecture, the resource to be allocated at the medium access control (MAC) and network layers
is the use of communication links, viewed as ‘bit pipes’ that deliver data at a fixed rate with occasional random errors. This
bit pipe is a simple abstraction of the underlying physical and data link layers. There is growing awareness that this simple
bit-pipe view is inadequate, particularly in the context of modern wireless data networks. Indeed, as highlighted throughout
this issue, significant performance gains can be achieved by various cross-layer approaches, i.e., approaches that jointly
consider physical layer and higher networking layer issues in an integrated framework. In this article, we consider several
basic cross-layer resource allocation problems for wireless fading channels. Here, the resources to be allocated include the
transmission power and rate assigned to each user. In modern wireless systems, a variety of link adaptation techniques such
as adaptive modulation and coding or variable rate spreading are employed that enable a user’s data rate to be adapted over
time based in part on time varying channel fading. This results in a physical layer that is no longer well modeled as a fixed-rate
bit pipe; instead, a much richer abstraction is required. In this setting, our focus is on characterizing fundamental performance
limits, taking into account both network layer QoS and physical layer performance. We note that at the physical layer,
fundamental communication limits established by information theory are, in many cases, well understood. However, when
higher-layer objectives such as delay are taken into account, much less is known about fundamental performance tradeoffs.
The problems surveyed in this article are attempts to address such basic questions.

particularly important in digital wireless systems, which are sensitive to intersymbol interference caused by intermodulation
products. 2. Because the MEMS actuator is an electrostatic device, it does not draw any current during operation and, hence,
requires a negligible amount of power for actuation. This is an important advantage for hand-held, battery-operated, portable
wireless systems since the battery does not need to be charged frequently. 3. The MEMS actuator does not require any special
epitaxial layers as in the case of diodes and, hence, is cost effective.

Large radar installations around the globe continuously watch the skies, unobtrusively providing security to the USA;
these systems have been in active use for the past 50 years. Often situated in extreme environments, the radar dishes require
shielding from the harsh elements. Air-inflated domes (over 100 ft in diameter) are one structure of choice for providing this
essential protection. The radomes are constructed from highstrength fabric that is strong enough to withstand the inflation
pressure, high winds, and other environmental loads, yet transparent to the microwave signal to allow precise radar mapping.
This fabric is woven from glass fibers for high strength and embedded in a polytetrafluoroethylene resin matrix, akin to the
nonstick coatings used on cookware.

An array of thermal emitters has been developed for use in a portable test set to enable field testing of low-performance
infrared imaging systems and seekers. It is not known if this technology can be used to evaluate the performance of
state-of-the-art thermal imagers. This paper describes the preliminary measurements of thermal pixel array (TPA)
performance. The radiant output of TPA was measured as a function of pattern size and drive voltage. Simple models were
developed that agree with many aspects of the experimental data. Spatial and temporal noise characteristics of the TPA have
been ascertained through three-dimensional noise analysis. Detection algorithms were used to compare images of test patterns
produced by the TPA to images of similar test patterns produced by a standard blackbody.

A 64 x 128 real-time infrared (RTIR) complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)/silicon-on-insulator (SOI)
scene generation integrated circuit (IC) is described. The RTIR IC offers real-time dynamic thermal scene generation. This
system is a mixed-mode design, with analog scene information written and stored into a thermal pixel array. The design uses
micro-electromechanical sensors (MEMS) in conjunction with SSC San Diego’s 0.8-micrometer CMOS/SOI process to
develop a RTIR IC scene generator. The objective of this RTIR project is to develop a reliable prototype infrared (IR) test set
for use in calibration and testing of IR systems, including built-in-test to ensure the real-time reliability of IR sensing systems.
The potential of RTIR as built-in-test equipment (BITE) is to improve the reliability of IR sensors, thus lowering the overall
system cost of operation. Infrared scene simulators that use bulk CMOS/MEMS have been reported previously; however, this
work uses SOI as the starting material. The MEMS area is scaled down to create higher density pixel arrays, with low leakage
at higher temperatures.

In this research, the first ever neutron irradiation study of AlGaN/GaN MODFETs was conducted. Devices irradiated to
a total 1 MeV Eq (Si) neutron fluence of 1.2x10^16 n/sq cm demonstrated the temperature dependence of irradiation and
annealing. Devices irradiated at 80 K exhibited significant persistent electrical degradation at only 5.4 rad (Si), whereas those
irradiated at elevated temperatures exhibit transient increases in gate and drain current up to 400 krad (Si). I-V measurements
indicate substantial radiation-induced increased gate and drain currents occur only at low-temperature irradiations. The
introduction of a high-density of donor defects is hypothesized as the primary cause of both increased values. Irradiating at
temperatures \g 300 K effectively reduces total accumulated dose effects even at 400 krad(Si). Further analysis of the Schottky
contacts has determined that the devices are field-emission and defect-assisted tunneling dominated at all temperatures. The
Schottky diode parameters were extracted using a novel six-parameter fitting routine. To the authors knowledge this is the first
application of such theory on AlGaN/GaN MODFETs.

The authors investigated the formation of high-performance, device-quality, thin-film silicon (30 to 50 nm) on sapphire
(TFSOS) for application to millimeter-wave communication and sensors. The resulting TFSOS, obtained by Solid Phase
Epitaxy (SPE), and the growth of strained silicon-germanium (SiGe) layers on these TFSOS demonstrated enhanced devices
and integrated circuit performance not achieved previously. The authors fabricated 250-nm and 100-nm T-gated devices with
noise figures as low as 0.9 dB at 2 GHz and 2.5 dB at 20 GHz, with G(sub a) of 21 dB and 7.5 dB, respectively. The 250-nm
devices resulted in distributed wideband amplifiers (10-GHz bandwidth BW, world record) and tuned amplifiers (15-dB,
4-GHz BW). The 100-nm devices produced voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) (25.9-GHz), 30-GHz frequency dividers.
They also obtained f(sub t) (f (sub max)) of 105 GHz (50 GHz) for n-channel and 49 GHz (116 GHz, world record) for
p-MODFETs (strained Si(0.2)Ge(0.8) on a relaxed Si(0.7)Ge(0.3) hetero-structure). This paper details the investigation and

An Overview of Lattice-Gas Dynamics

Report No.(s): AD-A434329; No Copyright; Avail: Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC)
One can argue it is the case that the fundamental nature of the physical world is that it is quantized in such a way that
phasespace is granular, and one can observe that digital computation is discrete and granular too. Given these similarities, one
might try to see just how far one can go in ‘connecting’ the two. In this regard, Richard Feynman gave a talk entitled
‘Simulating Physics with Computers’ in 1981: ‘I want to talk about the possibility that there is to be an exact simulation, that
the computer will do exactly the same as nature. If this is to be proved..., then it’s going to be necessary that everything that
happens in a finite volume of space and time would have to be exactly analyzable with a finite number of logical operations.
The present theory of physics is not that way, apparently. It allows space to go down into infinitesimal distances, wavelengths
to get infinitely great, terms to be summed to infinite order, and so forth...’ In this seminal talk and in subsequent papers 27,
28, Feynman discussed an interesting possibility: the possibility of constructing a quantum computer to simulate quantum
mechanics.

Three-dimensional imaging has been demonstrated using a single-cycle terahertz electromagnetic pulses. Reflection-mode
imaging was performed with photoconductive transmitter and receiver and a reconstruction algorithm based on time reversal.
A two-dimensional array was synthesized from ten concentric ring annular arrays with numerical apertures ranging from 0.27
to 0.43. The system clearly distinguished image planes separated by 1.5 mm and achieved a lateral resolution of 1.1 mm. In
terms of the illuminating terahertz power spectrum, the lateral resolution was 28% and 81% of the peak and mean
wavelengths, respectively, Coded excitation has also been explored to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. A separate imaging
system was constructed, where a 54-bit binary waveform is transmitted while the received signals are digitally compressed.
Two-dimensional objects have been imaged with a 13 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio.

dot studies investigated quantum dots formed by nanotube defects or by tunnel barriers in a metal/nanotube interface. With
these methods, it was not possible to independently control device parameters, and there also were strict constraints on device
design. The new technique gets around these restrictions because the quantum dots are defined by controlling gates.

Potential Oscillations and S-Shaped Polarization Curve in the Continuous Electro-Oxidation of CO on Platinum
Single-Crystal Electrodes

The occurrence of an S-shaped polarization curve in a simple model for the continuous electrochemical oxidation of CO
on a platinum electrode is discussed. In the model, the S-shaped polarization curve is caused by the competitive
Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism between surface-bonded CO and OH. The reaction is studied experimentally on
single-crystal platinum rotating disk electrodes in perchloric and sulfuric acid solution, and it is shown that the voltammetry
is in good agreement with the model predictions. When studied under current-controlled conditions, a fast galvanodynamic
scan indeed suggests the existence of the S-shaped polarization curve. At lower scan rates, however, irregularities and
small-amplitude irregular fluctuations or oscillations in potential are observed. Very regular potential oscillations under
current-controlled conditions are observed only on Pt(111) in sulfuric acid. The possible origin of these irregularities and
oscillations is discussed in relation to the existing theories of electrochemical instabilities

This quarterly report provides a summary of support provided by the Institute for Advanced Technology (lAT) at The
University of Texas at Austin (UT) to the Office of Naval Research (ONR) on the development of high-power superconducting
homopolar motors for ship propulsion. One of the major issues facing the development of such machines for ship propulsion
is the lifetime of the brushes used to transfer power from the homopolar motor rotor to the stator. Significant loss and wear
polarity differences have been observed during the testing of such brushes, and ONR is developing a fundamental science
program to address these issues. During this quarter, lAT personnel participated in an integrated product team (IPT) meeting,
giving impromptu presentations on historical aspects of fiber brush development and providing written comments to the ONR
program manager afterward. In addition, lAT personnel reviewed weekly data reports provided by General Atomics (GA).

Synthesis/processing of nanostructured (amorphous or ultra fine grained) materials was studied via various processing
routes such as gas atomization, melt spinning, cryomilling, equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) and conventional
consolidation. Microstructures and mechanical properties of both the amorphous powders and consolidated bulk materials
were characterized. The amorphous alloy of A185Ni10La5 (at.%) was fabricated in terms of melt-spun ribbons and
particularly, gas-atomized powders (\h25 micrometers). The kinetics and microstructure evolution during the devitrification
process were carefully investigated using DSC, XRD. SEM, TEM, and SAxS. It was found that quenched-in fcc-Al nuclei
present in amorphous Al85Ni10La5 powders. Annealing at 235 degrees C leads to growth of the quenched-in nuclei with the
grain size stabilized around 10 nm. With increasing annealing temperatures (i.e., at 245 degs C, 250 degs C and 263 degs),
the devitrification takes place via eutectic crystallization with a resultant grain size around 20 nm. At the temperatures \g283
degs, the devitrification tends to complete in a short time (-5 min), however, this alloy shows excellent thermal stability to
resist grain growth. The influence of devitrification, under various annealing temperatures, on mechanical response was
studied by nanoindentation technique. Bulk nanostructured materials were synthesized by consolidating the amorphous
Al85Ni10La5 alloy powder with 5083 Al alloy powder milled under cryogenic temperature (cryomilling). The addition of
cryomilled 5083 Al alloy is to further increase the specific strength for the bulk materials (e.g., \g1000 MPa in compression
with the density -2.9 g/cc). The bulk nanostructured material also shows high strength at elevated temperatures (i.e., 400 MPa
in compression at 200deg). At room temperature the tensile properties were found be lower than the compressive properties
and this differential effects should be investigated in the future st7

Chemical State of Surface Oxygen on Carbon and Its Effects on the Capacity of the Carbon Anode in a Lithium-Ion
Battery Investigated
Hung, Ching-Cheh; Research and Technology 2000; March 2001; 2 pp.; In English; No Copyright; Avail: CASI; A01,

In a lithium-ion battery, the lithium-storage capacity of the carbon anode is greatly affected by a surface layer formed
during the first half cycle of lithium insertion and release into and out of the carbon anode. The formation of this
solid-electrolyte interface, in turn, is affected by the chemistry of the carbon surface. A study at the NASA Glenn Research
Center examined the cause-and-effect relations. Information obtained from this research could contribute in designing a
high-capacity lithium-ion battery and, therefore, small, powerful spacecraft. In one test, three types of surfaces were examined:
(1) a surface with low oxygen content (1.5 at.%) and a high concentration of active sites, (2) a surface with 4.5 at.% -OH or
-OC type oxygen, and (3) a surface with 6.5 at.% O=C type oxygen. The samples were made from the same precursor and
had similar bulk properties. They were tested under a constant current of 10 mA/g in half cells that used lithium metal as the
counter electrode and 0.5 M lithium iodide in 50/50 (vol%) ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate as the electrolyte. For
the first cycle of the electrochemical test, the graph describes the voltage of the carbon anode versus the lithium metal as a
function of the capacity (amount of lithium insertion or release). From these data, it can be observed that the surface with low
oxygen and a high concentration of active sites could result in a high irreversible capacity. Such a high irreversible capacity
could be prevented if the active sites were allowed to react with oxygen in air, producing -OH or -OC type oxygen. The O=C
type oxygen, on the other hand, could greatly reduce the capacity of lithium intercalation and, therefore, needs to be avoided
during battery fabrication.

metal/semiconductor interface. These mechanisms have been proven to be device killers. Very costly and weight-adding
packaging schemes that include vacuum sealing are sometimes adopted as a solution.

To address these concerns, a fully three-dimensional, time-dependent, helical TWT interaction model was developed using the
electromagnetic particle-in-cell code MAFIA (Solution of MAxwell’s equations by the Finite-Integration-Algorithm). The
model includes a short section of helical slow-wave circuit with excitation fed by radiofrequency input/output couplers, and
an electron beam contained by periodic permanent magnet focusing. A cutaway view of several turns of the three-dimensional
helical slow-wave circuit with input/output couplers is shown. This has been shown to be more accurate than conventionally
used two-dimensional models. The growth of the communications industry has also imposed a demand for increased data rates
for the transmission of large volumes of data. To achieve increased data rates, complex modulation and multiple access
techniques are employed requiring minimum distortion of the signal as it is passed through the TWT. Thus, intersymbol
interference (ISI) becomes a major consideration, as well as suspected causes such as reflections within the TWT. To
experimentally investigate effects of the physical TWT on ISI would be prohibitively expensive, as it would require
manufacturing numerous amplifiers, in addition to acquiring the required digital hardware. As an alternative, the time-domain
TWT interaction model developed here provides the capability to establish a computational test bench where ISI or bit error
rate can be simulated as a function of TWT operating parameters and component geometries. Intermodulation products,
harmonic generation, and backward waves can also be monitored with the model for similar correlations. The advancements
in computational capabilities and corresponding potential improvements in TWT performance may prove to be the enabling
technologies for realizing unprecedented data rates for near real time transmission of the increasingly larger volumes of data
demanded by planned commercial and Government satellite communications applications. This work is in support of the Cross
Enterprise Technology Development Program in Headquarters’ Advanced Technology & Mission Studies Division and the Air
Force Office of Scientific Research Small Business Technology Transfer programs.

The pulse requirements for electron diffraction imaging of single biological molecules are calculated. We find that the
electron fluence and pulse length requirements imposed by the damage limit and by the need to classify the diffraction patterns
according to their angular orientation cannot be achieved with todays electron beam technology. A simple analytical model
shows that the pulse requirements cannot be achieved due to beam broadening due to spacecharge effects.

limits) over a variety of fuel and air flow rates. Direct injection of both fuel and air provided additional capability to tune the
cavity such that a more stable decentralized flame results. The addition of air injection provided the most improvement over
the baseline case (fuel only) near the upstream portion of the cavity close to the cavity step. Direct air injection provided a
second source of oxygen to be consumed during the combustion process thereby expanding the operational limits drastically
for each selected fuel flow. This experimental investigation was limited by the size of the flow controllers available and by
the maximum allowable material temperature given cavity flow parameters. Lean blowout was not observed to be a function
of injected air flow.

A computational investigation of a two-dimensional nozzle was completed to assess the use of fluidic injection to
manipulate flow separation and cause thrust vectoring of the primary jet thrust. The nozzle was designed with a recessed cavity
to enhance the throat shifting method of fluidic thrust vectoring. Several design cycles with the structured-grid, computational
fluid dynamics code PAB3D and with experiments in the NASA Langley Research Center Jet Exit Test Facility have been
completed to guide the nozzle design and analyze performance. This paper presents computational results on potential design
improvements for best experimental configuration tested to date. Nozzle design variables included cavity divergence angle,
cavity convergence angle and upstream throat height. Pulsed fluidic injection was also investigated for its ability to decrease
mass flow requirements. Internal nozzle performance (wind-off conditions) and thrust vector angles were computed for several
configurations over a range of nozzle pressure ratios from 2 to 7, with the fluidic injection flow rate equal to 3 percent of the
primary flow rate. Computational results indicate that increasing cavity divergence angle beyond 10 is detrimental to thrust
vectoring efficiency, while increasing cavity convergence angle from 20 to 30 improves thrust vectoring efficiency at nozzle
pressure ratios greater than 2, albeit at the expense of discharge coefficient. Pulsed injection was no more efficient than steady
injection for the Dual Throat Nozzle concept.

that no rebound of the ball was observed below a certain critical Stokes number. The coefficient of normal restitution, defined
as a ratio of normal rebound velocity to normal approach velocity, was found to increase beyond the critical Stokes number
and even out as it approaches the value for dry restitution at high Stokes numbers. It was also found that, for smooth spheres
like steel, the normal restitution at the same modified Stokes number is independent of the angle of impact. The tangential
coefficient of restitution, defined as the ratio of tangential rebound velocity to tangential approach velocity, is found to be
nearly unity, except for very low approach velocities. Thus, as a first approximation, the theories that predict the coefficient
of restitution for head-on wet collisions can be extended to predict the coefficient of normal restitution for oblique wet
collisions. Additional experiments were performed with soft surfaces in which a porous cloth or sponge layer was placed over
the hard, flat surface. In these experiments, the coefficient of restitution was found to decrease with increasing impact velocity,
due to inelastic losses in the soft material. A model combining inelastic deformation and flow through porous media was
developed to describe these findings.

a common view of the illuminated flow through a beam-splitting cube. One camera views the illuminated flow directly
(reference camera) and the second camera images the illuminated flow through an iodine vapor cell (signal camera). The laser
frequency (wavelength) is adjusted so that the Doppler-shifted light from particles in the flow falls on an iodine absorption
feature, see the following graph. The iodine vapor cell acts as a frequency-to-velocity filter by modulating the intensity of the
transmitted light as a function of the flow velocity (Doppler shift). The ratio of the signal and reference images yields the
component of the flow velocity along the bisector of the laser sheet propagation direction and the receiver system observation
direction. The hybrid system employs a single-component DGV receiver system configured to simultaneously acquire PIV
image data, as shown in the following diagram. The cameras used in the DGV receiver are replaced with PIV frame-straddling
cameras, and the receiver system views the illuminated light sheet plane at 90 (as in the standard PIV configuration).

At LLNL, we have been using heterodyne techniques for the past year and a half to measure velocities up to several
kilometers-per-second on different types of experiments. We assembled this diagnostic, which we call the Heterodyne
Velocimeter (HetV), using commercially available products developed for the communications industry. We use a 1550 nm
fiber laser and single mode fibers to deliver light to and from the target. The return Doppler-shifted light is mixed with the
original laser light to generate a beat frequency proportional to the velocity. At a velocity of 1000 m/s, the beat signal has a
frequency of 1.29 GHz. We record the beat signals directly onto fast digitizers. The maximum velocity is limited by the
bandwidth of the electronics and the sampling rate of the digitizers. The record length is limited by the amount of memory
contained in the digitizers. This paper describes our approach to measuring velocities with this technique and presents recent
data obtained with the HetV.

Boiling is known to be a very efficient mode of heat transfer, and as such, it is employed in component cooling and in
various energy-conversion systems. In space, boiling heat transfer may be used in thermal management, fluid handling and
control, power systems, and on-orbit storage and supply systems for cryogenic propellants and life-support fluids. Recent
interest in the exploration of Mars and other planets and in the concept of in situ resource utilization on the Martian and Lunar
surfaces highlights the need to understand how gravity levels varying from the Earth’s gravity to microgravity (1g = or \g
g/g(sub e) = or \g 10(exp -6)g) affect boiling heat transfer. Because of the complex nature of the boiling process, no generalized
prediction or procedure has been developed to describe the boiling heat transfer coefficient, particularly at reduced gravity
levels. Recently, Professor Vijay K. Dhir of the University of California at Los Angeles proposed a novel building-block
approach to investigate the boiling phenomena in low-gravity to microgravity environments. This approach experimentally
investigates the complete process of bubble inception, growth, and departure for single bubbles formed at a well-defined and
controllable nucleation site. Principal investigator Professor Vijay K. Dhir, with support from researchers from the NASA
Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field, is performing a series of pool boiling experiments in the low-gravity environments of
the KC 135 microgravity aircraft s parabolic flight to investigate the inception, growth, departure, and merger of bubbles from
single- and multiple-nucleation sites as a function of the wall superheat and the liquid subcooling. Silicon wafers with single
and multiple cavities of known characteristics are being used as test surfaces. Water and PF5060 (an inert liquid) were chosen
as test liquids so that the role of surface wettability and the magnitude of the effect of interfacial tension on boiling in reduced
gravity can be investigated.

Complex Flow Separation Pattern on Transonic Fan Airfoils Revealed by Flow Visualization
Lepicovsky, Jan; Research and Technology 2000; March 2001; 2 pp.; In English; No Copyright; Avail: CASI; A01, Hardcopy
Modern turbofan engines employ a highly loaded fan stage with transonic or low-supersonic velocities in the blade-tip
region. The fan blades are often prone to flutter at off-design conditions. Flutter is a highly undesirable and dangerous
self-excited mode of blade oscillations that can result in high-cycle fatigue blade failure. The origins of blade flutter are not
fully understood yet. The latest view is that the blade oscillations are triggered by high-frequency changes in the extent of the
partially separated area on the airfoil suction side. There is a lack of experimental data describing the separated flow
characteristics of modern airfoils for transonic fans.

of the flow velocity, and like the conventional total pressure rake, it can provide the velocity profile. In order to measure flow
extremely close to the surface, the strut is made of fused quartz with extremely low heat conductivity. A large size
thermocouple boundary layer rake is shown in the following photo. The latest medium size sensors already provide smooth
velocity profiles well into the boundary layer, as close as 0.0025 in. from the surface. This is about 4 times closer to the surface
than the previously used total pressure rakes. This device also has the advantage of providing the flow profile of separated flow
and also it is possible to measure simultaneous turbulence levels within the boundary layer.

of data about jet behavior in microgravity. VTRE was surprising in that, although it contained a complex geometry of baffles
and vanes, the limit on liquid inflow was the emergence of a liquid jet from the top of the vane structure. Clearly understanding
the restraint of liquid jets by surface tension is key to managing fluids in low gravity. To model this phenomenon, we need
a numerical method that can track the fluid motion and the surface tension forces. The fluid motion is modeled with the
Navier-Stokes equation formulated for low-speed incompressible flows. The quantities of velocity and pressure are placed on
a staggered grid, with velocity being tracked at cell faces and pressure at cell centers. The free surface is tracked via the
introduction of a color function that tracks liquid as 1/2 and gas as -1/2. A phase model developed by Jacqmin is used. This
model converts the discrete surface tension force into a barrier function that peaks at the free surface and decays rapidly.
Previous attempts at this formulation have been criticized for smearing the interface. However, by sharpening the phase
function, double gridding the fluid function, and using a higher order solution for the fluid function, interface smearing is
avoided. These equations can be rewritten as two coupled Poisson equations that also include the velocity. The method of
solution is as follows: first, the phase equations are solved from this solution, a velocity field is generated, then a successive
overrelaxation scheme is used to solve for a pressure field consistent with the velocity solution. After the code was
implemented in axisymmetric form and verified by several test cases, the drop tower runs of Aydelott were modeled. The
model handed the free-surface deformation quite nicely, even to the point of modeling geyser growth in the regime where the
free surface was no longer restrained. A representative run is shown.

In the laboratory experiments designed to reproduce hydrodynamical phenomena of relevance for astrophysics the
Reynolds numbers, although very large, are usually smaller than in real astrophysical systems. If the hydrodynamic flow
reaches the turbulent state, it may then happen that differences (related to the difference in Reynolds numbers) would appear
in the global-scale motions of the two systems. The difficulty in studying this issue in high energy density laboratory
experiments lies in that equations of state and transport coefficients are usually not very well known, so that the subtle effect
of the Reynolds number may be easily obscured by experimental uncertainties. An approach has recently been suggested (D.D.
Ryutov, B.A. Remington, Phys. Plasmas, 10, 2629, 2003) that allows one to circumvent this difficulty and isolate the effect
of the Reynolds number. In the present paper, after presenting a summary of the previous results, we briefly discuss various
aspects of possible experiments.

Vapor/Mist Used to Lubricate Gears After Loss of Primary Lubrication System
Handschuh, Robert F.; Morales, Wilfredo; Research and Technology 2000; March 2001; 3 pp.; In English; No Copyright;
Avail: CASI; A01, Hardcopy
Loss of lubrication in rotorcraft drive systems is a demanding requirement placed on drive system manufacturers. The
drive system must operate for at least 30 minutes once the primary lubrication system has failed. This test is a military
requirement that must be passed prior to certification of the aircraft. As new aircraft engines, operating at higher speeds, are
fielded, the requirements for the drive system become increasingly more difficult. Also, the drive system must be lightweight,
which minimizes the opportunity to use the gear bodies to absorb the tremendous amount of heating that takes place. In many
cases, the amount of heat generated because of the high speed and load requires an emergency lubrication system that
negatively impacts the aircraft’s weight, complexity, and cost. A single mesh spur gear test rig is being used at the NASA
Glenn Research Center to investigate possible emergency lubrication system improvements that will minimize the impact of
having these systems onboard rotorcraft. A technique currently being investigated uses a vapor/mist system to lubricate the
contacting surfaces after the primary lubrication system has been shut down. A number of tests were conducted in which the
vapor/mist used the same lubricant as the primary system, but at a greatly reduced flow rate. Each test was initiated with the
primary lubrication system operational and at steady-state conditions for a given speed and load. Then the primary lubrication
system was shut down, and the vapor/mist lubrication system was initiated. An example of the tests conducted is shown in
the figures. These preliminary tests have uncovered a mechanism that provides a lubricious, carbonaceous solid on the surface
that actually reduces the surface temperature of the meshing gear teeth during operation. Surface analysis of the carbonaceous
solid revealed it was graphitic. This mechanism is the synthetic lubricant ‘coking’ on the active profile of the gears, which
reduces the friction between the contacting gear surfaces. The level of load affects the onset of this mechanism: the higher the
load, the sooner coking takes place. Future work will investigate several other factors that could improve the already promising
results that have been attained.

Carrier recombination, including radiative, and Shockley-Read-Hall and Auger (both nonradiative), occurs at ultra-fast times
in the picosecond or femtosecond regimes. A device which can measure both spectral data and temporal phenomena at this
speed is the streak camera. The capability to do time-resolved spectroscopy of wide band gap semiconductors using a streak
camera has been established at AFIT for the first time. TRPL from samples of gallium nitride were measured at temperatures
of 5 K over spectral bands of 36.6 and temporal ranges of 45 to 1970 ps, both instrument-limited. TRPL features at 3552 and
3587 were studied giving decay lifetimes of 43.2 1.6 ps and 16.8 3.4 ps, respectively. Shockley-Read-Hall, Radiative and
Auger coefficients were found but parameterized in terms of experimental efficiency, n, which was not measured. These values,
determined using a least-squares-error fit of the carrier recombination rate equation to collected data, are -9.3*109 4.9*108
s-1, 7.5*1017 n 8.0*1016 n cm3/s, and 1. 8*1025 n2 2.9*1024 n2 cm 6/s respectively, for the first peak and -2.5 *1010 5.

streak camera has not yet been optimized, large but unquantified uncertainty in these results exists. Isolating vibrations and
improving streak camera alignment should reduce the uncertainty and permit data collection temporally resolved at hundreds
of femtoseconds.

Substantial performance improvement of a wide area video surveillance network can be obtained with the addition of a
Line-of-Sight sensor. The research described in this thesis shows that while the Line-of-Sight sensor cannot monitor areas with
the ubiquity of video cameras alone, the combined network produces substantially fewer false alarms and superior location
precision for numerous moving people than video. Recent progress in the fabrication of inexpensive, robust CMOS-based
video cameras have triggered a new approach to wide area surveillance of busy areas such as modeling an airport corridor as
a distributed sensor network problem. Wireless communication between these cameras and other sensors make it more
practical to deploy them in an arbitrary spatial configuration to unobtrusively monitor cooperative and non-cooperative people.
The computation and communication to establish image registration between the cameras grows rapidly as the number of
cameras increases. Computation is required to detect people in each image, establish a correspondence between people in two
or more images, compute exact 3-D positions from each corresponding pair, temporally track targets in space and time, and
assimilate resultant data until thresholds have been reached to either cause an alarm or abandon further monitoring of that
person. Substantial improvement can be obtained with the addition of a Line-of-Sight sensor as a location detection system
to decoupling the detection, localization, and identification subtasks. That is, if the ‘where’ can be answered by a location
detection system, the ‘what’ can be addressed by the video most effectively.

Mars’ dust-filled atmosphere could be a significant problem for photovoltaic array operation during long missions on the
surface of Mars. Measurements made by Pathfinder showed a 0.3-percent loss of solar array performance per day due to dust

An orbiting spacecraft needs to be able to accurately locate the position of the Sun so that the solar arrays can be pointed
toward the Sun. This not only maximizes the production of power, but it also helps the arrays find their orientation in space
so that they can accurately point antennae at ground stations. As part of the work on the (now postponed) Mars-2001 Surveyor
Lander, NASA Glenn Research Center engineers developed a new Sun sensor that is far lighter and simpler than earlier
designs. This sensor uses the technology of a linear photodiode array to find the position of the Sun in one axis. Two of these
sensors, used together, can locate the x and y coordinates of the Sun relative to the spacecraft. These sensors have a mass of
only 18 g each, nearly an order of magnitude lighter than earlier designs. (This mass does not include the electronic circuit

The Quantum defect - the energy difference between a pump photon ad a laser photon - is one of the most significant
parameters in selecting a potential laser material. Another one for a solid-state laser is the material’s thermal ruggedness, or
the amount of power it can absorb without physically rupturing. But there is a trade-off between the two: The larger a laser
material’s quantum defect, the more waste heat must absorb at a given pump level, and, hence, the greater its thermal
ruggedness must be.

in a cloud, scatter light because the air and water droplet have different indexes of refraction. When many droplets, or
scattering sites, are present, the incident light is scattered in random directions and the sample takes on a milky white
appearance. In a glass of milk, the scattering is due to small colloidal particles. The white appearance of shaving cream, or
foam, is due to the scattering of light at the water-bubble interface. Diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) is a laser
light-scattering technique used to noninvasively probe the particle dynamics in systems that strongly scatter light. The
technique takes advantage of the diffuse nature of light, which is reflected or transmitted from samples such as foams, dense
colloidal suspensions (such as paint and milk), emulsions, liquid crystals, sandpiles, and even biological tissues.

Researchers at Imperial College London have designed and operated what they believe is the first CW holey-fiber Raman
laser constructed in an all-fiber configuration. Holey-fiber Raman lasers are important because their theoretical Raman gain
coefficient is nearly seven times greater than that for conventional Raman-optimized fiber. Thus, these devices might someday
replace conventional lasers in many applications, including telecommunications and research. Although the laser demonstrated
at Imperial College did not achieve the sevenfold enhancement, it indicates that it is feasible. The researchers arranged their
laser in an all-fiber arrangement, with no bulk optical elements. The advantages of eliminating bulk elements include an
increase in stability resulting from the absence of spurious reflections from multiple interfaces, and a general increase in the
compactness and ruggedness of the laser.

Failure Accommodation Tested in Magnetic Suspension Systems for Rotating Machinery
Provenza, Andy J.; Research and Technology 1999; March 2000; 2 pp.; In English; Original contains color illustrations; No

The NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field and Texas A&M University are developing techniques for
accommodating certain types of failures in magnetic suspension systems used in rotating machinery. In recent years, magnetic
bearings have become a viable alternative to rolling element bearings for many applications. For example, industrial
machinery such as machine tool spindles and turbomolecular pumps can today be bought off the shelf with magnetically
supported rotating components. Nova Gas Transmission Ltd. has large gas compressors in Canada that have been running
flawlessly for years on magnetic bearings. To help mature this technology and quiet concerns over the reliability of magnetic
bearings, NASA researchers have been investigating ways of making the bearing system tolerant to faults. Since the potential
benefits from an oil-free, actively controlled bearing system are so attractive, research that is focused on assuring system
reliability and safety is justifiable. With support from the Fast Quiet Engine program, Glenn’s Structural Mechanics and
172
Dynamics Branch is working to demonstrate fault-tolerant magnetic suspension systems targeted for aerospace engine
applications. The Flywheel Energy Storage Program is also helping to fund this research.

Gears, bearings, and similar mechanical elements transmit loads through contacting surfaces. At the NASA Glenn
Research Center at Lewis Field, we postulated that the fatigue lives of gears could be improved by providing smoother tooth
surfaces. A superfinishing process was applied to a set of conventionally ground, aerospace-quality gears. This process
produced a highly polished, mirrorlike surface as shown in the preceding photograph. The surface fatigue lives of both
superfinished and conventionally ground gears were measured by experiments. The superfinished gears survived about four
times longer than the conventionally ground gears. These superfinished gears were produced from conventionally ground,
aerospace-quality gears whose geometry had been inspected. The gears were superfinished by placing them in a vibrating bath
consisting of water, detergent, abrasive powder, and small pieces of zinc. Upon removal from the bath, the surfaces were
highly polished, as depicted in the preceding photograph. The gears were again inspected, and dimensional measurements
made before and after the superfinishing operation were compared. Superfinishing removed the peaks of the grinding marks
and left a much smoother surface. Profile and spacing checks proved that the overall gear tooth shape was not affected in any
harmful way. Superfinishing uniformly removed approximately 2.5 microns from each surface.

fluorescent fluid multiple wavelengths and an NIR 512 spectrometer that scans 0.8- to 1.7-mm wavelengths. Hundreds of
different bacteria and viruses can be detected. A novel biomedical device is being developed at the NASA Glenn Research
Center in cooperation with the University of Michigan. This device uses nano-structured quantum dots that emit light in the
near-infrared (IR) region. The nanostructured quantum dots are used as a source and excite fluorochrome polymers coupled
with antibodies that seek out and attach to specific bacteria and viruses. The fluorochrome polymers/antibodies fluoresce at
specific wavelengths in the near-IR spectrum, but these wavelengths are offset from the excitation wavelength and can be
detected with a tunable spectrometer. The device will be used to detect the presence of viruses and bacteria in simple fluids
and eventually in more complex fluids, such as blood. Current state-of-the-art devices are limited to single bacteria or virus
detection and a considerable amount of time and effort is required to prepare samples for analysis. Most importantly, the
devices are quite large and cumbersome, which prohibits them from being used on the International Space Station and the
space shuttles. This novel device uses nanostructured quantum dots which, through molecular beam epitaxy and highly
selective annealing processes, can be developed into an illumination source that could potentially generate hundreds of specific
wavelengths. As a result, this device will be able to excite hundreds of antibody/fluorochrome polymer combinations, which
in turn could be used to detect hundreds of bacteria and viruses in fluids. A novel sample preparation technique that exploits
micromembrane filtration and centrifugation methods has been developed for this device. The technique greatly reduces the
time required to prepare the sample and the amount of sample needed to perform an accurate and comprehensive analysis.
Last, and probably most important, because of the nano-light-emitting source and the novel sample preparation technique, the
overall size of the device could be reduced dramatically. This device will serve as a nanoscale lab-on-a-chip for in situ
microorganism detection and will enable tests to be performed on a time scale of minutes rather than days. Thus, it is ideally
suited for monitoring the environmental conditions onboard the International Space Station and the space shuttles, thereby
enhancing the safety of the astronauts. In addition, the device has important commercial applications, such as detecting the
presence of bacteria and viruses in water at food- and beverage-processing centers, water treatment plants, and restaurants.
Also, this technology has the potential to be used to detect bacteria and viruses in more complex fluids, such as blood--which
in all likelihood would revolutionize blood analysis as it is performed today. This project was made possible through the
Director’s Discretionary Fund and is ongoing. In addition, this project provides funding to Dr. Rachel Goldman of the
University of Michigan for the research and development of nanostructured quantum dots.

At the NASA Glenn Research Center, we have been training artificial neural networks to interpret the characteristic
patterns (see the leftmost image) generated from electronic holograms of vibrating structures. These patterns not only visualize
the vibration properties of structures, but small changes in the patterns can indicate structural changes, cracking, or damage.
Neural networks detect these small changes well. Our objective has been to adapt the neural-network, electronic-holography

(0.3 sec) after the injectors were activated with no change in throttle setting. Tip injection not only recovers the compressor
from stall, but also restores the compressor to its pre-stall level of pressure rise. In contrast, standard stall recovery schemes
such as compressor bleed, stator vane actuation, or engine throttle modulation result in a loss of pressure rise across the
compressor, which results in a loss of engine power.

Researchers at the NASA Glenn Research Center, in collaboration with industry, are reducing gas turbine engine
emissions by studying visually the air-fuel interactions and combustion processes in combustors. This is especially critical for
next generation engines that, in order to be more fuel-efficient, operate at higher temperatures and pressures than the current
fleet engines. Optically based experiments were conducted in support of the Ultra-Efficient Engine Technology program in
Glenn’s unique, world-class, advanced subsonic combustion rig (ASCR) facility. The ASCR can supply air and jet fuel at the
flow rates, temperatures, and pressures that simulate the conditions expected in the combustors of high-performance, civilian
aircraft engines. In addition, this facility is large enough to support true sectors (‘pie’ slices of a full annular combustor).
Sectors enable one to test true shapes rather than rectangular approximations of the actual hardware. Therefore, there is no
compromise to actual engine geometry. A schematic drawing of the sector test stand is shown. The test hardware is mounted
just upstream of the instrumentation section. The test stand can accommodate hardware up to 0.76-m diameter by 1.2-m long;
thus sectors or small full annular combustors can be examined in this facility. Planar (two-dimensional) imaging using
laser-induced fluorescence and Mie scattering, chemiluminescence, and video imagery were obtained for a variety of engine
cycle conditions. The hardware tested was a double annular sector (two adjacent fuel injectors aligned radially) representing
approximately 15 of a full annular combustor. An example of the two-dimensional data obtained for this configuration is also
shown. The fluorescence data show the location of fuel and hydroxyl radical (OH) along the centerline of the fuel injectors.
The chemiluminescence data show C2 within the total observable volume. The top row of this figure shows images obtained
at an engine low-power condition, and the bottom row shows data from a higher power operating point. The data show
distinctly the differences in flame structure between low-power and high-power engine conditions, in both location and amount
of species produced (OH, C2) or consumed (fuel). The unique capability of the facility coupled with its optical accessibility
helps to eliminate the need for high-pressure performance extrapolations. Tests such as described here have been used
successfully to assess the performance of fuel-injection concepts and to modify those designs, if needed.

Back-to-back testing has been done using NASA fan rotor 67 in the Glenn Research Center W8 Axial Compressor Test
Facility. The rotor was baseline tested with a normal industrial RMS surface finish of 0.5-0.6 m (20-24 microinches) at 60,
80 and 100% of design speed. At design speed the tip relative Mach number was 1.38. The blades were then removed from
the facility and ultrapolished to a surface finish of 0.125 m (5 microinch) or less and retested. At 100% speed near the design
point, the ultrapolished blades showed approximately 0.3 - 0.5% increase in adiabatic efficiency. The difference was greater
near maximum flow. Due to increased relative measurement error at 60 and 80% speed, the performance difference between
the normal and ultrapolished blades was indeterminate at these speeds.

Cross-Axis Proportional Gains Used to Control Gyroscopic Effects in a Magnetic- Bearing-Supported Flywheel

For magnetic-bearing-supported high-speed machines with significant gyroscopic effects, it is necessary to stabilize both
forward and backward tilt whirling modes. Instability or the low damping of these modes can prevent the attainment of desired
shaft speeds. Previous work elsewhere showed that cross-axis derivative gain in the magnetic bearing control law can improve
the stability of the forward whirl mode, but it is commonly recognized that derivative gains amplify high-frequency noise and
increase the required control effort. At the NASA Glenn Research Center, it has been shown previously that a simple cross-axis
proportional gain can add stability (without adding noise) to either forward whirl or backward whirl, depending on the sign
of the gain, but that such a gain destabilizes the other mode. It has been predicted by Glenn analysis that both modes can be
stabilized by cross-axis proportional gains by utilizing the large-frequency separation of the two modes at speeds where the
gyroscopic effects are significant. We use a modal controller that decouples the tilt and center-of-mass-translation modes. Only
the tilt modes exhibit speed-dependent gyroscopic effects. The key to controlling them by the present method is to stabilize
the backward whirl tilt mode with the appropriate sign of cross-axis proportional gain in the control law, but to include a
low-pass filter on that gain term to restrict its effect only to the low-frequency backward-whirl mode. A second cross-axis term
with the opposite sign and a high-pass filter stabilizes the forward whirl, which can have a frequency one or two orders of
magnitude higher than the backward whirl, permitting very independent action of the two terms. Because the physical
gyroscopic torques are proportional to the spinning speed of the shaft, it is convenient to gain-schedule the cross-axis control
terms by making them proportional to shaft speed. This has the added benefit of avoiding a somewhat awkward zero-speed
splitting of the tilt-mode eigenvalues.

The Structural Mechanics and Dynamics Branch has successfully demonstrated a fail-safe controller for the Fault-Tolerant
Magnetic Bearing rig at the NASA Glenn Research Center. The rotor is supported by two 8-pole redundant radial bearings,
and coil failing situations are simulated by manually shutting down their control current commands from the controller
cockpit. The effectiveness of the controller was demonstrated when only two active coils from each radial bearing could be
used (that is, 14 coils failed). These remaining two coils still levitated the rotor and spun it without losing stability or desired
position up to the maximum allowable speed of 20,000 rpm.

stability in high temperature air. This coating is a modification of PS304, which differs in that the Ni-Cr constituent contains
20wt% Cr. The tribological characteristics of LCR304 were evaluated by pin-on-disk and foil air bearing rig testing from 25
to 650 C and compared to previous test results with PS304. For both tests, the friction coefficient decreased as temperature
increased from 25 to 650 C. Wear generally decreased with increasing temperature for all pin-on-disk tests. LCR304 coated
components produced the least wear of Inconel X-750 counterface materials at 427 and 650 C. These results indicate that the
LCR304 coating has potential as a replacement for PS304 in, for example, low cycle (minimum wear) applications where
dimensional stability is imperative.

Manufacturing readiness of composite rotors and certification of flywheels depend in part on the maturity of
nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technology for process optimization and quality assurance, respectively. At the NASA Glenn
Research Center, the capabilities and limitations of x-ray-computed tomography and radiography, as well as advanced
ultrasonics were established on NDE ring and rotor standards with electrical discharge machining (EDM) notches and drilled
holes. Also, intentionally seeded delamination, tow break, and insert of bagging material were introduced in hydroburst-rings
to study the NDE detection capabilities of such anomalies and their effect on the damage tolerance and safe life margins of
subscale rings and rotors. Examples of possible occurring flaws or anomalies in composite rings as detected by NDE and
validated by destructive metallography are shown. The general NDE approach to ensure the quality of composite rotors and
to help in the certification of flywheels is briefly outlined.

material systems included monolithic ceramics, superalloys, and high-temperature composites. In the aeronautics area, the
major applications were cooled ceramic plate structures for turbine applications, gamma-TiAl blade materials for low-pressure
turbines, thermoelastic stress analysis for residual stress measurements in titanium-based and nickel-based engine materials,
and acousto-ultrasonics for creep damage assessment in nickel-based alloys. In the space area, applications consisted of cooled
carbon-carbon composites for gas generator combustors and flywheel rotors composed of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer
matrix composites for energy storage on the International Space Station.

white illustrations; No Copyright; Avail: CASI; A01, Hardcopy
Spiral bevel gears are currently used in all main-rotor drive systems for rotorcraft produced in the USA. Applications such
as these need spiral bevel gears to turn the corner from the horizontal gas turbine engine to the vertical rotor shaft. These gears
must typically operate at extremely high rotational speeds and carry high power levels. With these difficult operating
conditions, an improved analytical capability is paramount to increasing aircraft safety and reliability. Also, literature on the
analysis and testing of spiral bevel gears has been very sparse in comparison to that for parallel axis gears. This is due to the
complex geometry of this type of gear and to the specialized test equipment necessary to test these components. To develop
an analytical model of spiral bevel gears, researchers use differential geometry methods to model the manufacturing
kinematics. A three-dimensional spiral bevel gear modeling method was developed that uses finite elements for the structural
analysis. This method was used to analyze the three-dimensional contact pattern between the test pinion and gear used in the
Spiral Bevel Gear Test Facility at the NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field. Results of this analysis are illustrated in
the preceding figure. The development of the analytical method was a joint endeavor between NASA Glenn, the U.S. Army
Research Laboratory, and the University of North Dakota.

Because of New Hampshire’s hilly landscape, mapped values of ground snow load are not available for much of its area.
We conducted snow load case studies to establish ground snow loads for a specific elevation in each of the 140 towns where
no values are currently available. That work was done by three researchers and three structural engineers practicing in New
Hampshire. While our methods of analysis varied somewhat, our results were comparable and the feedback we received from
each other was quite valuable. We then established an elevation correction factor to transfer our snow load answers to other
elevations in each town. We did not do case studies for the 102 towns in New Hampshire where mapped values are available.
We are now planning to do that, as we believe that case studies improve snow load design criteria. We suggest that similar
studies be conducted for other places in the USA.

industry grew at a moderate pace in the last year despite a weakening economy and chronic shortages of skilled and
semi-skilled labor. The economic stimulus package, a rebounding economy, and continued low interest rates fueled
unprecedented increases in housing construction and helped stimulate modest commercial construction. Value in the industry
remains strong with projections for limited growth prospects domestically and potentially significant opportunities in the
international sector. Industry data shows evidence of a continuing trend toward consolidation through acquisitions and
mergers, forcing smaller construction-related companies to increase their productivity to remain competitive. This trend is
driving an accelerated use of information technology tools to improve efficiency. As state and local governments find it
increasingly difficult to raise revenues to build and maintain needed infrastructure, alternative financing mechanisms involving
private financing of public infrastructure are becoming more widespread.

A critical issue in the micromechanics-based analysis of composite structures becomes the availability of a
computationally efficient homogenization technique: one that is 1) Capable of handling the sophisticated, physically based,
viscoelastoplastic constitutive and life models for each constituent; 2) Able to generate accurate displacement and stress fields
at both the macro and the micro levels; 3) Compatible with the finite element method. The Generalized Method of Cells
(GMC) developed by Paley and Aboudi is one such micromechanical model that has been shown to predict accurately the
overall macro behavior of various types of composites given the required constituent properties. Specifically, the method
provides ‘closed-form’ expressions for the macroscopic composite response in terms of the properties, size, shape, distribution,
and response of the individual constituents or phases that make up the material. Furthermore, expressions relating the internal
stress and strain fields in the individual constituents in terms of the macroscopically applied stresses and strains are available
through strain or stress concentration matrices. These expressions make possible the investigation of failure processes at the
microscopic level at each step of an applied load history.

In May of 2002, three cracks were found in the downstream flowliner at the gimbal joint in the LH2 feedline at the
interface with the Low Pressure Fuel Turbopump (LPFP) of Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) #1 of Orbiter OV-104.
Subsequent inspections of the feedline flowliners in the other orbiters revealed the existence of 8 additional cracks. No cracks
were found in the LO2 feedline flowliners. A solution to the cracking problem was developed and implemented on all orbiters.
The solution included weld repair of all detectable cracks and the polishing of all slot edges to remove manufacturing
discrepancies that could initiate new cracks. Using the results of a fracture mechanics analysis with a scatter factor of 4 on
the predicted fatigue life, the orbiters were cleared for return to flight with a one-flight rationale requiring inspections after
each flight. OV-104 flew mission STS-112 and OV-105 flew mission STS-113. The post-flight inspections did not find any
cracks in the repaired flowliners. At the request of the Orbiter Program, the NESC conducted an assessment of the Orbiter LH2

and canopy properties such as leaf area index (LAI) and average stomatal conductance. Therefore, we assembled a team

magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), focusing on the work by the Princeton University group and their collaborators. Applications
include sonic boom mitigation and optimization of scramjet inlets. Experimental and computational studies of interaction of
oblique shocks with laser-generated blast wave and thermal wake demonstrate the possibility of shock mitigation in a
repetitive-pulse mode. Analysis of interaction parameter for MHD control of cold hypersonic flows with external ionization
shows that significant interaction can be achieved with energy-efficient ionization by electron beams. The maximum
achievable interaction parameter sharply increases with increasing Mach number and altitude; however, interelectrode arcing
may limit the performance. For MHD control of scramjet inlets, nonequilibrium electrical conductivity is created by electron
beams injected into the gas along magnetic field lines. At Mach numbers higher than the design value, the shocks that would
otherwise enter the inlet can be moved back to the cowl lip by a short MHD generator at the first compression ramp. To
increase air capture at Mach numbers below the design value, a heated region is used to create a‘virtual cowl’ and to deflect
flow streamlines into the inlet. The best location of the energy addition region is near the intersection of the nose shock of
the vehicle with the continuation of the cowl line, and slightly below that line. Stretching and tilting the energy addition region
improves performance. By spending only a few percent of the enthalpy flux into the inlet, the air capture and engine thrust
can be increased by 15-20%, with no loss in specific impulse.

The final report documents a conceptual design for a generator capable of generating 1 MW electrical output at 200 VDC
with a shaft speed of 15,000 rpm and a maximum outer diameter of 15 inches. It is based on an interior permanent magnet
rotor configuration with three phase output. The designs were developed and analyzed using the PC-BDC software which is
part of the SPEED (Scottish Power Electronics and Electric Drives consortium) motor/generator analysis suite. Results
indicate that the 1 MW generator would have an active magnetic weight of 158-300 lbms which would translate into a total
machine weight of approximately 250 - 450 lbms. Thermal management of the designs was not analyzed in detail due to the
limited scope of the project. This effort was performed under a delivery order contract to Motorsoft; Universal Energy Systems
was the contractor.

Research Center to develop the refractive secondary concentrator, which uses refraction and total internal reflection to
efficiently concentrate and direct solar energy. When used in combination with advanced lightweight primary concentrators,
the refractive secondary concentrator enables very high system concentration ratios (10,000 to 1) and very high temperatures
(\g2000 K). The innovative refractive secondary concentrator offers significant advantages over all other types of secondary
concentrators. The refractive secondary offers the highest throughput efficiency, provides for flux tailoring, requires no active
cooling, relaxes the pointing and tracking requirements of the primary concentrator, and enables very high system
concentration ratios. This technology has broad applicability to any system that requires the conversion of solar energy to heat.
Glenn initiated the development of the refractive secondary concentrator in support of Shooting Star, a solar thermal
propulsion flight experiment, and continued the development in support of Space Solar Power.

The majority of satellites and near-earth probes developed to date have used photovoltaic arrays for power generation. If
future mission to probe environments close to the sun will be able to use photovoltaic power, solar cells that can function at
high temperatures, under high light intensity, and high radiation conditions must be developed. In this paper, we derive the
optimum bandgap as a function of the operating temperature.

Public, private, government, and university stakeholders have focused increasing attention on children’s environmental
health. Priority areas have been healthy school environments including indoor air and environmental quality (IEQ);
susceptibilities of children to environmental factors and associated illness; and, understanding exposure to biological,
chemical, and physical agents. As multidisciplinary teams, studies and intervention demonstrations in California public
schools were conducted. A common theme among them was a ‘partnership,’ the collaboration between stakeholders from the
aforementioned sectors. Federal funding and local bond measures for planning, maintenance, and modernization of school
facilities have recently been authorized. Therefore, beneficial ‘partnerships’ should be established to conduct needed IEQ,
environmental health, and productivity research, development and demonstration. This commentary describes benefits for
stakeholders and five strategies for future effective collaborations.

Leakage and Seepage in the Near-Surface Environment: An Integrated Approach to Monitoring and Detection
Oldenburg, C. M.; Lewicki, J. L.; January 2005; 10 pp.; In English
Report No.(s): DE2005-837241; No Copyright; Avail: Department of Energy Information Bridge
Monitoring and detection of leakage and seepage of carbon dioxide (CO(sub 2)) in the near-surface environment is needed
to ensure the safety and effectiveness of geologic carbon sequestration. Large leakage fluxes, e.g., through leaking wells, will
be easier to detect and monitor than slow and diffuse leakage and seepage. The challenge of detecting slow leakage and
seepage is discerning a leakage or seepage signal from within the natural background variations in CO(sub 2) concentration
and flux that are controlled by a variety of coupled processes in soil. Although there are no direct examples of leaking geologic
carbon sequestration sites on which to base a proposed verification approach, we have been guided by our prior simulation
studies of CO(sub 2) leakage and seepage, which showed that large CO(sub 2) concentrations can develop in the shallow
subsurface even for relatively small CO(sub 2) leakage fluxes. A variety of monitoring technologies exists for measuring
CO(sub 2) concentration and flux, but there is a gap between instrument performance and the detection of a leakage or seepage
signal from within large natural background variability. We propose an integrated approach to monitoring and verification. The
first part of our proposed approach is to characterize and understand the natural ecosystem before CO(sub 2) injection occurs
so that future anomalies can be recognized. Measurements of natural CO(sub 2) fluxes using accumulation chamber (AC) and
eddy correlation (EC) approaches, soil CO(sub 2) concentration profiles with depth, and carbon isotope compositions of
CO(sub 2) are needed to characterize the natural state of the system prior to CO(sub 2) injection. From this information,
modeling needs to be carried out to enhance understanding of carbon sources and sinks so that anomalies can be recognized
and subject to closer scrutiny as potential leakage or seepage signals. Long-term monitoring using AC, EC, and soil-gas
analyses along with ecosystem and flow and transport modeling should continue after CO(sub 2) injection. The integrated use
of multiple measurements and modeling offers a promising approach to discerning and quantifying a small CO(sub 2) leakage
or seepage signal from within the expected background variability.

This study began as an effort to validate sample preparation procedures for characterization of gas and particle samples
that had been collected with the high capacity (HiC) IOGAPS and related samplers. However, a more general purpose emerged
with our growing recognition that insufficient attention to analyte recovery could undermine the efforts of any research team,
with any sampling technology, to characterize the wide range of organics associated with PM. Thus, the broader objective is
to describe the implications of these recovery results for past and future efforts to speciate airborne semi-volatile and
particulate organics. The results of our quality control and quality assurance efforts broadened beyond devising procedures to
optimize recovery of specific compounds to (1) exploring the implications of our results for interpretation of past efforts to
characterize particulate organics and (2) developing recommendations for future work by any investigators.

The Design Team continued to conference this quarter. Their primary task during this timeframe was to finalize the dryer
design based on information learned from the NDIC Pilot work and detailed design discussions at Barr offices in August.
Heyl-Patterson was tasked with incorporating all comments and drafting drawings. They submitted a preliminary proposal
which spawned detailed discussions about tube bundle, air locks, and fire suppression systems. The type of fire protection
specified dictated the final structural arrangement. Three meetings were spent discussing the pro’s and con’s of suppression
vs. ventilation systems. In the end, the dryer and bucket elevator will have suppression systems and the remaining equipment
will be explosion vented. This is in agreement with GRE’s current insurer, FM Global. Three inlet airlocks were reduced to
two and four outlets were reduced to three. The inlet plenum was subdivided for greater flexibility and sparging air added in
the outlet plenum. It was also decided to use bundles with varied material, diameter, and tube & fin spacing. This will be
completed in an effort to identify for us which configuration has the best heat transfer characteristics using coal as the
fluidizing medium. The dryer will also be delivered in four pieces. This will allow for installation through the current access
door on the Air Heater deck. The Input/Output list and functional description was completed and forwarded to Honeywell to
finalize controls. Major pieces of equipment received this quarter were the Bucket Elevator, Liewell Screen, conveyors, and
Motor Control Center. ICI completed removal of the wall separating Silo 28 from the dryer area; handrail and grating between
the two areas has also been removed. They relocated a blowdown line. They moved an Air Heater basket access hatch.

Cantilever retaining walls can respond externally to earthquake ground motions by sliding or by rotating, or internally by
stem wall yielding. The type of response that will have the greatest impact on post-earthquake performance will likely depend
on restraint conditions at the base of the wall. Walls founded on soil without an invert slab are most likely to dissipate the
inertial energy imposed by earthquake ground motions by sliding. This may also be true for walls founded on fissured or
fractured rock. Walls founded on soil or on fissured or fractured rock and prevented by an invert slab from moving laterally
are more likely to tip (i.e., rotate) than to slide during a major earthquake event. Walls founded on competent rock without
significant joints, faults, or bedding planes and prevented by a strong bond at the rock-footing interface from either translating
or rotating are likely to dissipate energy through plastic yielding in the stem wall. All three responses can leave the retaining
wall in a permanently displaced condition. The purpose of this report is to provide methodologies for conducting a
performance-based earthquake evaluation related to plastic yielding in the stem wall. The methodologies include evaluation
of brittle or force-controlled actions and the evaluation of ductile or deformation-controlled actions. The later evaluation
provides estimates of permanent (residual) displacement for walls dominated by a stem wall yielding response.

NASA-funded data restoration project has undertaken and is continuing the process of digitizing the Alouette/ISIS ionograms
from the analog 7-track tapes. Our project involves the automated processing of these digital ionograms into electron density
profiles. The project accomplished a set of important goals that will have a major impact on understanding and modeling of
the topside ionosphere: (1) The TOPside Ionogram Scaling and True height inversion (TOPIST) software was developed for
the automated scaling and inversion of topside ionograms. (2) The TOPIST software was applied to the over 300,000 ISIS-2
topside ionograms that had been digitized in the fkamework of a separate AISRP project (PI: R.F. Benson). (3) The new
TOPIST-produced database of global electron density profiles for the topside ionosphere were made publicly available through
NASA s National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) ftp archive at \hnssdcfkp.gsfc.nasa.gov\g. (4) Earlier Alouette 1,2 and
ISIS 1, 2 data sets of electron density profiles from manual scaling of selected sets of ionograms were converted fiom a
highly-compressed binary format into a user-friendly ASCII format and made publicly available through
nssdcftp.gsfc.nasa.gov. The new database for the topside ionosphere established as a result of this project, has stimulated a
multitude of new studies directed towards a better description and prediction of the topside ionosphere. Marinov et al. (2004)
developed a new model for the upper ion transition height (Oxygen to Hydrogen and Helium) and Bilitza (2004) deduced a
correction term for the I N topside electron density model. Kutiev et al. (2005) used this data to develop a new model for the
topside ionosphere scale height (TISH) as a function of month, local time, latitude, longitude and solar flux F10.7.
Comparisons by Belehaki et al. (2005) show that TISH is in general agreement with scale heights deduced from ground
ionosondes but the model predicts post-midnight and afternoon maxima whereas the ionosonde data show a noon maximum.
Webb and Benson (2005) reported on their effort to deduce changes in the plasma temperature and ion composition from
changes in the topside electron density profile as recorded by topside sounders. Limitations and possible improvements of the
IRI topside model were discussed by Coisson et al. (2005) including also the possible use of the NeQuick model, Our project
progressed in close collaboration and coordination with the GSFC team involved in the ISIS digitization effort. The
digitization project was highly successful producing a large amount of digital topside ionograms. Several no-cost extensions
of the TOPIST project were necessary to keep up with the pace and volume of the digitization effort.

been used in local modeling of the equatorward F peak density depletions. Topside steady-state density profiles were evaluated
assuming diffusive equilibrium in a given Te profile. A scenario for the transition of an initial density-height profile to a flat
profile is described. Substantial agreement between the modeling results and DMSP observations indicates that the vibrational

The topside segment of the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) electron density model (and also of the Bent model)
is based on the limited amount of topside data available at the time (40,OOO Alouette 1 profiles). Being established from such
a small database it is therefore not surprising that the models have well-known shortcomings, for example, at high solar
activities. Meanwhile a large data base of close to 200,000 topside profiles from Alouette 1,2, and ISIS I, 2 has become
available online. A program of automated scaling and inversion of a large volume of digitized ionograms adds continuously
to this data pool. We have used the currently available ISIs/Alouette topside profiles to evaluate the IRI topside model and
to investigate ways of improving the model. The IRI model performs generally well at middle latitudes and shows
discrepancies at low and high latitudes and these discrepancies are largest during high solar activity. In the upper topside IRI
consistently overestimates the measurements. Based on averages of the data-model ratios we have established correction
factors for the IRI model. These factors vary with altitude, modified dip latitude, and local time.

The existing uncertainties about the electron density profiles in the topside ionosphere, i.e., in the height region from h,F2
to - 2000 km, require the search for new data sources. The ISIS and Alouette topside sounder satellites from the sixties to the
eighties recorded millions of ionograms but most were not analyzed in terms of electron density profiles. In recent years an
effort started to digitize the analog recordings to prepare the ionograms for computerized analysis. As of November 2001 about
350000 ionograms have been digitized from the original 7-track analog tapes. These data are available in binary and CDF
format from the anonymous ftp site of the National Space Science Data Center. A search site and browse capabilities on
CDAWeb assist the scientific usage of these data. All information and access links can be found at http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/
space/isis/isis- status.htm1. This paper describes the ISIS data restoration effort and shows how the digital ionograms are
automatically processed into electron density profiles from satellite orbit altitude (1400 km for ISIS-2) down to the F peak.
Because of the large volume of data an automated processing algorithm is imperative. The TOPside Ionogram Scaler with True
height algorithm TOPIST software developed for this task is successfully scaling - 70% of the ionograms. An \h\hediting
process\g\g is available to manually scale the more difficult ionograms. The automated processing of the digitized ISIS
ionograms is now underway, producing a much-needed database of topside electron density profiles for ionospheric modeling
covering more than one solar cycle.

and selected joint tactics, techniques, and procedures (JTTP) to govern the joint activities and performance of the Armed
Forces of the USA in joint operations and provides the doctrinal basis for US military involvement in multinational and
interagency operations. It provides military guidance for the exercise of authority by combatant commanders and other joint
force commanders and prescribes doctrine and selected tactics, techniques, and procedures for joint operations and training.
It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces in preparing their appropriate plans. It is not the intent of this
publication to restrict the authority of the joint force commander (JFC) from organizing the force and executing the mission
in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of the overall mission.

Report No.(s): G-35-B58; No Copyright; Avail: Other Sources; Abstract Only
This project is to continue the development of the global simulation capabilities of tropospheric and stratospheric
chemistry and aerosols in a unified global model. This is a part of our overall investigation of aerosol-chemistry-climate
interaction. In the past year, we have enabled the tropospheric chemistry simulations based on the GEOS-CHEM model, and
added stratospheric chemical reactions into the GEOS-CHEM such that a globally unified troposphere-stratosphere chemistry
and transport can be simulated consistently without any simplifications. The tropospheric chemical mechanism in the
GEOS-CHEM includes 80 species and 150 reactions. 24 tracers are transported, including O3, NOx, total nitrogen (NOy),
H2O2, CO, and several types of hydrocarbon. The chemical solver used in the GEOS-CHEM model is a highly accurate
sparse-matrix vectorized Gear solver (SMVGEAR). The stratospheric chemical mechanism includes an additional
approximately 100 reactions and photolysis processes. Because of the large number of total chemical reactions and photolysis
processes and very different photochemical regimes involved in the unified simulation, the model demands significant
computer resources that are currently not practical. Therefore, several improvements will be taken, such as massive
parallelization, code optimization, or selecting a faster solver. We have also continued aerosol simulation (including sulfate,
dust, black carbon, organic carbon, and sea-salt) in the global model to cover most of year 2002. These results have been made
available to many groups worldwide and accessible from the website http://code916.gsfc.nasa.gov/People/Chin/aot.html.

The present article characterizes a first attempt to identify scientific branches that together may assign technical solutions
to better understand and deal with greenhouse gas emissions from hydroreservoirs in Brazil. The concepts of Ecohydrology
are described in the first section. In the following is provided an ecohydrologic approach by using automated data acquisition
systems to evaluate evidences of rainy fronts acting upon bubble methane releases and carbon dioxide fluxes. Finally, it is
shown a Multifiactal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (MFDFA) of greenhouse gas fluxes at the water-air interface of
hydroreservoirs as a direction for future long term simulations.

The IGS Ionosphere Working Group (Iono_WG) is active since June 1998. The working group’s most important
short-term goal is the routine provision of global ionosphere Total Electron Content (TEC) maps plus differential code biases
(DCBs) with a delay of some days. In the year 2001, to which this Technical Report is dedicated to, the delivery of DCBs
was restricted only to those of the GPS satellites. At the time when this Technical Report was written in August 2002, the
routine delivery of station DCBs was implemented too. In the medium- and long-term, the working group intends to develop
more sophisticated algorithms for deducing mappings of ionospheric parameters from GPS measurements and to realize
near-real-time availability of IGS ionosphere products. The final target is the establishment of an independent IGS ionosphere
model.

Influence of Nucleation Mechanisms on the Radiative Properties of Deep Convective Clouds and Subvisible Cirrus in
CRYSTAL/FACE
Toon, Owen B.; [2005]; 4 pp.; In English
Contract(s)/Grant(s): NAG5-11474; No Copyright; Avail: CASI; A01, Hardcopy
During the past few years we have conducted work on several different topics, as reflected by our publications. As one
of the Co-Project scientists for The Cirrus Regional Study of Tropical Anvils and Cirrus Layers - Florida Area Cirrus
Experiment (CRYSTAL FACE) we worked to help design the mission and then conduct it in the field. Another major activity
during the past two years has been to pull together various groups to formulate plans for follow on missions to CRYSTAL
FACE. We organized a workshop at the University of Colorado during the summer of 2003 to assess the best locations for
future missions. Working with a group of about 10 scientists from around the country we prepared a science-planning
document (Tropical Composition, Cloud and Climate Coupling Experiment (TC(sup 4)) that outlined the rationale, locations,
strategy to accomplish the goals, and possible payloads for a set of three tropical missions. We also prepared background
materials for various NRAs being prepared at NASA Headquarters for missions in Costa Rica, Darwin and Guam. In
conjunction with the group at NASA Ames we have helped build a new numerical model for deep convection and have applied
that model to simulate the CRYSTAL data. Our goal in particular has been to better understand how convection distributes
water vapor isotopes. CRYSTAL observations of water isotopes are very different from those suggested by previous workers
who assumed the isotopes would obey Rayleigh fractionation. The water isotope study has several implications. First it is a
check on the realism of the deep convection model. Second, the isotopes are a measure of the precipitation removal in the
atmosphere. Hence they provide a constraint on a parameter that is difficult to otherwise measure. Finally it has been suggested
that isotopes may be the key to unraveling the water transport into the stratosphere and upper troposphere. Such transport is
critical both for the radiation balance and for stratospheric chemistry. Ours is the first model that is able to treat this transport.
Our initial results have just been submitted to Geophys. Res. Lett (Smith et al., 2005). Essentially we are able to explain the
vertical profiles of isotopes in the tropical tropopause transition layer. We are also able to account for stratospheric humidity
and isotope abundances with this model. We have also been heavily involved in trying to improve our understanding of nitric
acid condensation on ice. Gao et al (2004) have shown that water supersaturations above ice occur when the atmosphere is
supersaturated with respect to nitric acid trihydrate. As one of the co-authors of that work, we suggested the mechanism that
may explain why this is occurring. Essentially, ice does not like to grow near unit supersaturation, but does so because the
water molecules can find sites on the ice surface to attach themselves to before they fly off the ice surface. This phenomena
was well known in the 1960s when it was a source of debate about whether condensation and evaporation coefficients for ice
would be the same. Evaporation does not require any molecular orientation, while condensation does, so it was possible that
the coefficients would differ. They don’t differ because the water molecules rapidly move across the surface and find places
to attach. Nitric acid may be occupying these preferred sites and therefore the water molecules can’t find a desirable place to
attach. We anticipate that this research will be the subject of laboratory work during the coming few years. Another possibility
that has been suggested is that cubic ice is forming in clouds. We have measured the vapor pressure of cubic ice, and plan
to publish that result in the next few months. We have also been working on additional aspects of the condensation of nitric
acid on ice. With Y. Kondo we studied the condensation of NOy on ice using the SOLVE data. Gamblin et al. have continued
this work. The CRYSTAL NOy and HNO, groups have shown th their data can be fit using standard Langmuir isotherms as
suggested in some, but not all, laboratory studies. We have found in the SOLVE data set that this is not the case. Moreover
some laboratory studies show there are important kinetic effects that may be occurring in the atmosphere limiting the transfer
of nitric acid to the ice. The SOLVE data seem consistent with these studies. We are currently re-analyzing the CRYSTAL data
to look for these kinetic effects. There are a number of implications of these studies. One of the more interesting is that the
nitric acid coating on ice can be used as a cloud clock to determine how long the cloud parcel has been in existence. We have
also been involved with several laboratory studies. We have worked to improve the database on ice optical constants, which
are critical for remote sensing. We have also studied the ways in which ice nucleates on clays. We suspect now that the
standard theories used for depositional ice nucleation are completely incorrect. Further work will be needed to develop a new
theory.

physical characteristics of the watershed. It is a tool for watershed management in that an HMS model can be developed to
account for human impact to determine the effect on the magnitude, quantity, and timing of runoff at points of interest. Results
from an HMS model can be used by a number of other programs to determine impact in areas such as water quality and flood

During the summer of 1981, a joint field experiment in atmospheric research was conducted by the Bureau of Reclamation
and the National Center for Atmospheric Research. It was aimed at answering many questions related to precipitation from
convective storms. This experiment was titled Cooperative Convective Precipitation Experiment, commonly referred to as
CCOPE. The field site was at Miles City, Montana, where the Bureau has had an ongoing experiment since 1975. Involved
in the program were other Federal agencies, numerous universities, and private organizations active in atmospheric research.
After its inception, CCOPE evolved into a program of international interest with persons from Canada, England, Switzerland,
and Italy participating. This document contains a complete inventory of all data collected in association with CCOPE during
the 1981 field season. It is intended to be a primary aid to researchers by helping them acquire the necessary data for their
particular analysis.

agenda; research portfolios, reports, guidelines, and standards from private and public organizations; and an on site evaluation
of the medication use process in two primary care offices. Domains identified include the medication use process, technology
and safety, the office environment, error management, workplace conditions, safety education, safety perceptions, and patient
education. Based upon these domains a 154-item written survey was developed to assess medication safety in office practice.
It was administered to 31 primary care office-based practices in the Nebraska and Iowa region, using the interviewer-assisted
technique. A direct observation study, on site technology readiness survey, and accessibility of drug information sources were
conducted concurrently. Results provide evidence that a medication safety framework is lacking in office-based practice.
Suboptimal--and sometimes unacceptable--practices related to medication safety in primary care offices are identified and
described. Results may be used to describe the medication safety framework and to identify best practices for office-based
medication safety.

The objective of this study was to examine the feasibility of applying the State and Territorial Injury Prevention Directors
Association (STIPDA) consensus recommendations for using hospital discharge data in injury and adverse event surveillance
to the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) population. The utility of developing an injury surveillance system that also
included adverse events due to medical care was examined for its potential contributions to VHA patient safety programs and
research. Selected variables from all VHA hospital inpatient discharges for 5 fiscal years (1998-2002) were extracted from the
National Patient Care Dataset. The resultant dataset had more than 2.8 million records. The selected variables extracted
included demographic and clinical information. Discharges for injuries and adverse events due to medications and medical
complications were identified using the primary admitting diagnosis in accordance with STIPDA recommendations. The
injuries and adverse events were grouped into categories using the Clinical Classification Software developed by the Agency
for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The medical care costs for these injury and adverse event hospital discharges
were obtained from the VHA Decision Support System (DSS). Over the study time frame, 153,153 injury and adverse event
discharges occurred, with more than 1.8 million inpatient days, and $2.0 billion in direct medical care costs. In any given year,
injury and adverse event discharges accounted for approximately 10 percent of total hospital medical costs and approximately
5 percent of the total discharges. Hospitalizations for adverse events associated with medical care, or medication adverse
events, represented more than 50 percent of the hospitalizations.

Along with saving the lives and limbs of our soldiers, sailors, and airmen injured in battle, the preservation of their eyes
and eyesight is an extremely important goal. Despite comprising as little as 0.1% of the total body surface area and 0.27%
of the frontal silhouette, the proportion of eye injuries in nonfatal casualties has been escalating in recent conflicts (Table).
Several reasons account for the increasing risk of eye injuries: 1. preferential exposure of the eyes during combat (eg, foxholes,
tank turrets); 2. improved body armor protecting the head, thorax, and abdomen, leading to fewer fatal injuries to these regions
of the body; 3. improved surgical techniques and rapid evacuation of the wounded, which allow physicians to repair wounds
that at one time would have resulted in the death of a soldier; and 4. improved munitions, which create more and smaller
fragments that can cause severe, even blinding, injuries.

Report No.(s): AD-A434196; No Copyright; Avail: CASI; A03, Hardcopy
Objective: In view of the widespread concerns against prescribing short-acting nifedipine in the treatment of hypertension,
the Veterans Health Administration initiated efforts to decrease the common but unapproved use of that agent for treating high
blood pressure. Methods: A multitiered approach was implemented, using a national pharmaceutical database to assess drug
utilization, followed by educational or remedial intervention at each tier. The first tier of the study determined the total quantity
of short-acting nifedipine dispensed, the second tier evaluated data on the prescriptions for the drug, and the third and fourth
tiers evaluated patient-specific information to determine to whom and why the drug was prescribed. Results: The first
intervention demonstrated a 34 percent decrease in the total quantity of short-acting nifedipine dispensed, compared with the
previous year. And action or change was noted in 78 percent of prescriptions in the second intervention. In the third
intervention, short-acting nifedipine was prescribed for hypertension in 46.5 percent of the remaining 559 patients, 96 percent
of which resulted in an intervention. The final intervention (75 patients) resulted in one prescribed short-acting nifedipine for
hypertension under special circumstances. Conclusion: A tiered approach, using a national pharmaceutical database,
complemented by local education and intervention, assisted in reducing the use of short-acting nifedipine for hypertension.

The USA Department of Defense (DoD) has transformed health care delivery in its use of information technology to
automate patient data documentation, leading to improvements in patient safety. The Department uses an enterprise-wide
medical and dental clinical information system that generates, maintains, and provides 24-hour secure online access to
longitudinal health records. CHCS II, the military’s next generation of its Electronic Health Record (EHR), enhances patient
safety for more than 9 million beneficiaries, with ‘one patient, one record.’ Because military families are highly mobile, the
EHR makes the patient’s medical history available at the point of care at any military medical facility in the world, thus greatly
improving overall health care delivery and supporting patient safety initiatives for DoD beneficiaries. Currently, the military
EHR supports 55,000 outpatient encounters each week. It provides a legible and longitudinal clinical record that includes drug
interaction alerts, patient allergy notifications, and wellness reminders to enhance health care delivery.

diffusion and targeted dissemination. The goal of mass diffusion is providing information and raising general awareness, while
the goal of targeted dissemination is persuading and motivating potential knowledge users into action. The third stage is ‘End
user adoption, implementation, and institutionalization.’ To transition from abstract knowledge to concrete use, research
findings must be translated into intervention packages that include guidelines, information materials, training, and other
implementation aids. The end users must have a change leader and team. General intervention tools need to be adaptable to
local needs and go through several iterations to ensure a fit between the conceptual intervention and the organizational context.
As the intervention gains acceptance and feasibility within the organization, it is institutionalized in official policies and

This study determines the impact that use of personal digital assistants (PDAs) has on avoiding potential medication
prescribing errors in primary care, office-based practices. the specific aims are to (1) measure the occurrence of
prescribing-related errors, (2) determine the extent to which medication prescribing errors may be reduced by physicians
having improved access to pharmaceutical information at the point of care via the PDA and use of the PDA as a
prescription-printing device, and (3) identify perceived barriers to PDA use and successful strategies to overcome these
barriers. A prospective, randomized, controlled trial of 78 physicians was conducted in 31 primary care, office-based practices
to determine the impact of PDA use on medication prescribing errors. The intervention group was trained by case simulation
to use a PDA-based clinical drug information application at the point of care during the prescribing process, and enter and print
prescriptions on a local printer via the PDA. The control group maintained their traditional prescribing practices throughout
the study. Qualitative interviews were conducted with the intervention group to identify perceived barriers to PDA use and
successful strategies to overcome these barriers. The outcome indicates that voluntary use of the PDA results in substantial
reductions in errors of legibility, omissions, and use of abbreviations and symbols. Variation in adoption of the PDA as both
a prescribing device and drug information tool was observed. Barriers and successful strategies to overcome the barriers to
PDA use are identified. The PDA offers an effective method to bring prescribing safety to primary care, office-based practices.

Translating research or care innovation into broader clinical practice requires more than simply the publication of new
findings. Understanding both the perspectives of the target providers and the environmental factors that can facilitate or
impede adoption is key to getting ‘buy in ’ and achieving eventual implementation. This paper describes a unique patient safety
initiative developed by the Georgia Hospital Association (GHA), working closely with State regulatory agencies and health
care professional groups. Building upon existing relationships, GHA and its collaborators formed the Partnership for Health
and Accountability (PHA) as a comprehensive, voluntary patient safety program. With a focus on systemic prevention
strategies, PHA fulfills both dissemination and implementation roles in translating research into practice. The program, which
involves adult acute care hospitals across the State, has shown that engaging health care organizations in an iterative change
process, while focusing on an ultimate goal, can yield promising results. Included here is a description of challenges
encountered in the change process, and preliminary evidence of success.

Although screening x-ray mammography has become a very sensitive method for detecting breast cancer, mammography
has low specificity in its diagnostic stage. About 67-85% of breast biopsies are performed on benign lesions. Because of cost
and detrimental effects of unnecessary biopsies, the number of biopsies performed on benign lesions needs to be reduced. In
this research we are developing a highly sensitive and specific computer-aided diagnosis classifier based on the likelihood
ratio, which is designed to aid physicians to identify lesions that should not be sent to biopsy.

Recent results have shown that listeners attending to the quieter of two speech signals in one ear (the target ear) are highly
susceptible to interference from normal or time-reversed speech signals presented in the unattended ear. However,
speech-shaped noise signals have little impact on the segregation of speech in the opposite ear. This suggests that there is a
fundamental difference between the across-ear interference effects of speech and nonspeech signals. In this experiment, the
intelligibility and contralateral-ear masking characteristics of three synthetic speech signals with parametrically adjustable
speech-like properties were examined: (1) a modulated noise-band (MNE) speech signal composed of fixed-frequency bands
of envelope-modulated noise; (2) a modulated sine-band (MSB) speech signal composed of fixed-frequency amplitude-
modulated sine waves; and (3) a ‘sinewave speech’ signal composed of sine waves tracking the first four formats of speech.
In all three cases, a systematic decrease in performance in the two-talker target-ear listening task was found as the number
of bands in the contralateral speech-like masker increased.

The USA Army perioperative nurses face unique patient care situations during overseas deployments. In this report, the
experiences at the U.S. Army’s 28th Combat Support Hospital in Iraq are described. The lessons learned from these situations
can assist in patient safety in future operations. The challenges to the nursing staff of performing housekeeping tasks while
simultaneously accomplishing a number of other patient care tasks are reviewed. The surgical suite structural requirements for
the operating room (OR) and for central materiel service (CMS), and the adaptation of the workflow capabilities through CMS
to ensure the best possible sterile products are discussed. Cleaning becomes very difficult in deployed environments because
of the mass casualty episodes as well as the relentless wind and sand. The effects of fatigue, sleep deprivation, and stress
threaten maintenance of standards and attention to detail. Steam sterilization and glutaraldehyde soaking are useful as
sterilization methods when adapted to this harsh environment. With this environment, it was necessary to extend the length
of sterilization times, adapt pressure bags to rinse lumens, and realign the work flow to ensure better cleaning and sterilization
practices. Cultures of the OR and CMS demonstrated the efficacy of our efforts. Room air exchanges, temperatures, water
quality, and other structural requirements were measured on a routine basis and problems were aggressively addressed. The
work and traffic flow practices were designed specifically to provide an aseptic environment and functional equipment. Staff
safety and well being were given priority in order to maintain standards.

patient safety studies involving primary care practices in three practice-based research networks (PBRNs). The AAFP
conducted two pilot studies in 18 primary care clinics in which error reports were submitted by physicians, staff, and patients.
The AAFP sought approval from 15 different IRBs for these studies. CU conducted a 3-year project that collected medical
errors from 38 primary care practices affiliated with seven separate IRBs. AAFP successfully obtained approval from all 15
IRBs. Several sites required approval from risk management and legal departments. CU obtained approval for the primary
study from seven IRBs and two hospital research committees. Secondary studies required additional approvals. Overall, the
two projects had a high level of success in obtaining IRB approval. There was great variation in submission requirements, level
of review, length of time to obtain approval, and required revisions. PBRN research often includes atypical, multisite research
activity, with practices simultaneously serving as research subjects and investigators. The high-risk nature of patient safety
work further complicates this situation. Investigative work with the Office for Human Research Protections and the Agency
for Healthcare Research and Quality to create a central IRB process could greatly facilitate work of this nature.

Induction of neovascularization is needed for a growing tumor as well as for its metastasis. Angiogenic and growth
promoting factors like Pleiotrophin (PTN) act on endothelial and epithelial cells and on fibroblasts. We identified the receptor
for PTN as anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). In individual tissues the presence of ALK is elevated in tumor stroma
(endothelium) while adjacent normal tissue lacked ALK. In cultured endothelial cells or human fibroblasts ALK is upregulated
in response to supernatants from human breast cancer cells. Our hypothesis is that ALK from stromal cells., upregulated in
response to factors from tumor cells, constitutes as marker and a potential therapeutic target in breast cancer. We will
investigate the specificity of ALK modulation in tumor stroma versus normal endothelium in response to growth factors and
breast cancer cell lines supernatants. Also, we will determine the functional effects of the differences in ALK signaling and
uncover the differences in drug sensitivity in cells that have an increased ALK level versus untreated. We expect a lowering
of the effective dose thus lowering the side effects of these drugs. The completion of the study will translate in establishing
ALK as a new target for the breast metastatic cancer therapy.

There are approximately 500,000 surgical site infections per year in the United states. The purpose of this study was to
determine if the bacteria most frequently involved in Surgical Site Infections (SSI) could be found on telephones in the
Operating Room (OR). A total of 26 cultures were taken from telephones within 14 operating rooms and two sub-sterile rooms
at a large teaching medical center. Bacteria were identified using standard laboratory procedures. The following bacteria were
identified: Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii complex 1.9%, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 1.9%, Agrobacterium radiobacter/
tumefaciens 1.9%, Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus 82.7%, Micrococcus 3.8% and Streptococcus non-group D 5.8%. OR

The U.S. Army Center for Environmental Health Research (USACEHR), a detachment of the U.S. Army Medical
Research Institute of Chemical Defense, in collaboration with Battelle, has recently evaluated the use of 10 sensor
technologies for rapid identification of toxicity in drinking water. The objective was to evaluate the ability of these sensors
to respond rapidly (in less than an hour) to the presence of 12 industrial and agricultural chemicals. USACHER coordinated
the participation of laboratories with applicable sensor technologies and, together with Battelle, developed an experimental
plan, managed the preparation and distribution of the contaminant solutions to the contributing laboratories, came to consensus
with the laboratories on how to perform the sample analysis and data reporting, and evaluated the results. This report describes
the experimental work that was performed and then describes the results obtained from each of the participating sensors. Test
results will be used to help select toxicity sensors to be used to evaluate Army drinking water supplies. This activity supports

into a life-threatening condition without angiogenesis. Obstructing the recruitment of new blood vessels to the tumor through
administration of antiangiogenic agents will hinder cancer progression. We propose the use of marrow stromal cells (MSCs)
for an investigative gene discovery program to identify new genes involved in blood vessel formation. MSCs, a normal cell
type from the bone marrow, can spontaneously turn into blood vessels (MSC-mediated vasculogenesis) in experimental
animals. Therefore, we propose the MSCs recapitulate the ontogeny of blood vessel formation and serve to identify novel
angiogenesis promoters and potential new pharmacological targets. To test this hypothesis, we will utilize a cell biology and
molecular genetic experimental approach. Products thus identified as involved in MSC-mediated vasculogenesis may become
new cancer ‘antiangiogenesis’ target for either a classic pharmacological approach or for cell and gene therapy therapeutic
strategies. The utilization of antiangiogenic agents for cancer treatment holds certain advantages over chemotherapeutic drugs,
such as the destruction uniquely of tumor-associated normal blood vessels and not of other normal tissue such as bone marrow.
Also, unlike chemotherapy, drug resistance is not an issue with antiangiogenic compounds.

Predictive Biomarkers of Response to Bc1-2 Biomodulation by G3139 and Docetaxel in Hormone-Refractory Prostate
Cancer

The specific aims of this grant are to demonstrate (1) that bcl-2 overexpression in prostate cancer specimens is a predictive
biomarker for enhanced responsiveness to G3139 (oblimersen), and antisense oligonucleotide targeting Bcl-2, and docetaxel;
(2) that the degree of bcl-2 downregulation in normal tissue surrogate (peripheral blood mononuclear cells MNC), will predict
prostate cancer responsiveness to oblimersen and docetaxel; and (3) whether the pharmacokinetic parameters of oblimersen
and docetaxel are predictive of bcl-2 biomodualtion and antitumor activity, respectively. Oblimersen steady-state
concentrations are a predictive determinant of PSA response to the combination of oblimersen and docetaxel in patients with
hormone-refractory prostate cancer. Although the majority of patients had marked decrements in Bcl-2 protein expression in
MNCs following treatment with oblimersen, there was no relationship between the decrement in bcl-2 expression in MNC and
response to therapy or Oblimmersen Css. Bcl-2, Bax and Bcl-X expression in the patient’s original tumor block specimens
was not predictive of response to therapy with oblimersen and docetaxel. Oblimersen Css is a significant predictor of PSA
response to therapy with this combination. Oblimersen at the current recommended dose of 7 mg/kg/day in solid tumor studies
may provide inadequate Css for a significant proportion of patients treated that may lead to suboptimal effectiveness in some
clinical studies.

Decompression Sickness During Simulated Extravehicular Activity: Ambulation vs. Non-Ambulation

Extravehicular activity (EVA) is required from the International Space Station on a regular basis. Because of the
245
weightless environment during EVA, physical activity is performed using mostly upper-body movements since the lower body
is anchored for stability. The adynamic model(restricted lower-body activity; non-ambulation) was designed to simulate this
environment during earth-bound studies of decompression sickness (DCS) risk. DCS symptoms during ambulatory (walking)
and non-ambulatory high altitude exposure activity were compared. The objective was to determine if symptom incidence
during ambulatory and non-ambulatory exposures are comparable and provide analogous estimates of risk under otherwise
identical conditions. A retrospective analysis was accomplished on DCS symptoms from 2010 ambulatory and 330
non-ambulatory exposures. There was no significant difference between the overall incidence of DCS or joint pain DCS in the
ambulatory (49% and 40%) vs. the non-ambulatory exposures (53% and 36%; P.0.1). DCS involving joint pain only in the
lower body was higher during ambulatory exposures (28%) than non-ambulatory exposures (18%; P.0.1). Non-ambulatory
exposures terminated more frequently with non-joint-pain DCS (17%) or upper-body-only joint pain (18%) as compared to
ambulatory exposures;9% and 11% (P.0.01) respectively. These findings show that lower-body, weight-bearing activity shifts
the incidence of joint-pain DCS from the upper body to the lower body without altering the total incidence of DCS or
joint-pain DCS. Use of data from previous and future subject exposures involving ambulatory activity while decompressed
appears to be a valid analogue of non-ambulatory activity in determining DCS risk during simulated EVA studies.

Phagocytosis of inhaled Bacillus anthracis spores and subsequent trafficking to lymph nodes are decisive events in the
progression of inhaled anthrax because they initiate germination and dissemination of spores. Found in high frequency
throughout the respiratory tract, DCs routinely take up foreign particles and migrate to the lymph nodes. However, the
participation of DCs in phagocytosis and dissemination of spores was not investigated previously. We found that human DCs
readily engulfed fully pathogenic and attenuated B. anthracis spores. Spores provoked a loss of tissue-retaining chemokine
receptors (CCR2, CCR5) with a concurrent increase in lymph node homing receptors (CCR7, CD11c) on the membrane of
DCs. After spore infection, immature DCs displayed a mature phenotype (CD83-bright, HLA-DR-bright, CD80- bright,
CD86-bright, CD40 bright), and enhanced co-stimulatory activity. Surprisingly, spores activated the mitogen-activated protein
kinase (MAPK) cascade (ERK, p38) and stimulated expression of several inflammatory response genes. MAPK signaling was
extinguished by 6 h after infection and resulted in dramatically reduced secretion of TNF-a, IL-6, and IL-8, without inducing
DC death. This corresponded temporally with enzymatic cleavage of proximal MAPK signaling proteins (MEK-1, -3, and
MKK-4) and may indicate activity of anthrax lethal toxin. Taken together, these results suggest that B. anthracis may exploit
DCs to facilitate infection.

Recipients of licensed anthrax vaccine (AVA, Biothrax ) could serve as a source of hyperimmune plasma and
immunoglobulin for therapy and prophylaxis. We examined serum antibody patterns during serial weekly to biweekly
plasmapheresis in 38 individuals previously vaccinated with 4-27 doses of AVA. Immunoglobin G (IgG) to protective antigen
(PA) and toxin neutralization assay (TNA) antibody levels were highly correlated with r = 0.86930) and P \h 0.0001 for anti-PA
concentration versus TNA concentration). Significant decreases in antibody titer and concentration were observed over time
when compared for the number of days from the first injection (P = 0.0001 for both anti-PA and TNA concentration) and for
the number of days from the first plasmapheresis (P = 0.0007 for anti-PA concentration and P = 0.0025 for TNA concentration).
The rate of the decrease in total IgG concentration (half-life T 1/2 = 198.90 days after first plasmapheresis) was significantly
less than the decrease in anti-PA IgG (t1/2 = 63.53 days (P = 0.0001), indicating that the reduction in anti-PA IgG was more
likely due to natural decay than plasmapheresis. The time since the last injection and the time after initial plasmapheresis are
important elements in considering an optimal schedule for collecting anthrax hyperimmune plasma. Good correlation between
IgG to PA and TNA antibodies suggests that the anti-PA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay can be used as a
highy-throughput screen for functional immune reactivity in donor plasma units.

Since first discovered in the New York City area in 1999, West Nile virus (WNV) has become established over much of
the continental USA and has been responsible for \g10,000 cases of severe disease and 400 human fatalities, as well as
thousands of fatal infections in horses. To develop appropriate surveillance and control strategies, the identification of which
mosquito species are competent vectors and how various factors influence their ability to transmit this virus must be
determined. Therefore, we evaluated numerous mosquito species for their ability to transmit WNV under laboratory
conditions. This report contains data for several mosquito species not reported previously, as well as a summary of
transmission data compiled from previously reported studies. Mosquitoes were allowed to feed on chickens infected with
WNV isolated from a crow that died during the 1999 outbreak in New York City. These mosquitoes were tested approximately
2 wk later to determine infection, dissemination, and transmission rates. All Culex species tested were competent vectors in
the laboratory and varied from highly efficient vectors (e.g., Culex tarsalis Coquillett) to moderately efficient ones (e.g., Culex
nigripalpus Theobald). Nearly all of the Culex species tested could serve as efficient enzootic or amplifying vectors for WNV.
250
Several container-breeding Aedes and Ochlerotatus species were highly efficient vectors under laboratory conditions, but
because of their feeding preferences, would probably not be involved in the maintenance of WNV in nature. However, they
would be potential bridge vectors between the avian-Culex cycle and mammalian hosts. In contrast, most of the surface
pool-breeding Aedes and Ochlerotatus species tested were relatively inefficient vectors under laboratory conditions and would
probably not play a significant role in transmitting WNV in nature.

Two live, attenuated strains of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEE), IE1150K and V3526, were administered to
macaques to determine if they could elicit protection against an aerosol challenge with virulent VEE virus of the IE variety

E and the presence of lower molecular weigh isoforms (LMW) are found more often in breast tumors and cancer cell lines
when compared to normal tissues and cells. Also, tumor cells, but not normal cells have the mechanisms to proteolytically
cleave the full length cyclin E into these LMW forms. An altered cyclin E may contribute to the deregulation of the G1 to
S checkpoint and lead to tumorigenesis. Our laboratory has also identified through mutational and biochemical analysis, the
region of cyclin E that is proteolytically cleaved to generate the LMW forms. Critical phosphorylation sites of cyclin E are
responsible for the appearance of the LMW forms of cyclin E. To investigate the possible role of phosphorylation in the
processing of cyclin E into these lower forms, two approaches have been employed. First incubation of breast cancer cell line
extracts expressing the LMW forms with phosphatases was examined via western blot analysis. Visualization of cyclin E
showed downward shifts in both the full length and lower forms in the presence of active dephosphorylation.

Several oncogenese, growth factors, hormones and hypoxia have been shown to up-regulate VEGF, an essential
angiogenia factor for the progression of breast carcinomas. The angiogenic factor CYRG1, a ligand for the alphavbeta3
integrin is differentially up-regulated in invasive and metastatic breast cancer cells overexpressing the epidermal growth
factor-like growth factor Heregulin (HRG). HRG can regulate breast cancer neovascularization through its ability to activitie
the expression and secretion of VEGF. Although CYR61 is thought to be an angiogenic ligand for alphavbeta3 integrin in
endothelial cells, little is know about the regulatory role of CYR61 on the secretion of VEGF in the epithelial compartment
of breast carcinoma. We speculated that CYR61 may promote VEGF-dependent breast cancer angiogensis in an autocrine
fashion, and we examined whether HRG-induced over-secretion of VEGF in breast cancer cells associated with an increased
CYR61-regulated alpha4beta3 integrin signaling. First constitutive VEGF secretion positively correlated with HRG
overexpression, but not with HER-2/neu (erbB-2) oncogene status, in a panel of human breast cancer cell lines. Second, we
evaluated the levels of VEGF secretion in MDA-231 cells, a natural breast cancer model overexpressing HRG. In which HRG
expression was diminished using an HRG antisense (AS) cDNA. Secretion of VEGF was significantly diminished in the
unselected MDA-MB-231/AS-POOL population (up to 30% reduction), and decreased by about 55% in MDA-231/AS-31

Characterization of Beta-leptinotarsin-h and the Effects of Calcium Flux Antagonists on its Activity

Beta-Leptinotarsin-h, purifed from the hemolymph of the beetle Leptinotarsa haldemani, is a potent neuroactive protein
that stimulates Ca2+ influx and neurotransmitter release. Our goals were to further characterize beta-leptinotarsin-h and to test
the hypthesis that it stimulates Ca2+ influx through presynaptic Ca2+ channels. Analysis of partial amino acid sequences
revealed that beta-leptinotarsin-h is a unique protein with significant similarity to only one other protein, the juvenile hormone
esterase of Leptinotarsa decemlineata, commonly known as the Colorado potato beetle. We examined the effect of
beta-leptinotarsin-h on neurotransmitter release, Ca2+ current, Ca2+ uptake, and Ca2+ levels in several cell lines and neuronal
systems. We found that its preferred site of action appears to be mammalian presynaptic nerve terminals. We tested antagonists
of Ca2+ flux for their effects on beta-leptinotarsin-h-stimulated Ca2+ uptake in rat brain synaptosomes. We found that the
nonselective Ca2+ channel blockers flunarizine, Ni2+, ruthenium red, high-concentration thapsigargin, and SKF 96365
inhibited beta-leptinotarsin-h’s activity, but that non of the selective blockers of voltage-operated Ca2+ channels (w-agatoxin,
IVA, w-conotoxin GVIA, w-conotoxin MVIIC, nicardipine, SNX 482) that we tested was inhibitory. Selective inhibitors of
ligand-operated, store-operated, and transduction-operated channels were also not inhibitory. beta-leptinotarsin-h did not
stimulate Na+ uptake, ruling out Na+ channels and nonselective cation channels as targets. We conclude that beta-
leptinotarsin-h stimulated Ca2+ channels, which channel is yet to be determined.

The Military Deployment Human Exposure Assessment Study (MDHEXAS): Blood and Urine Exposure Biomarkers
as Environmental Surveillance Tools for Assessing Military Personnel Exposure to Chemicals During Deployment to
Camp McGovern, Bosnia
Jan. 2003; 194 pp.; In English
Report No.(s): AD-A434794; No Copyright; Avail: Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC)
Currently the Department of Defense (DoD) does not use exposure biomarkers to measure environmental exposures to
chemicals. Blood and urine exposure biomarkers for volatile organic compounds (VOC), selected heavy metals, depleted
uranium (DU), and chemical warfare agents are currently available but have not been field tested or validated in military
deployments as a tool to document exposures by the DoD. The Military Deployment Human Exposure Assessment Study, a
prospective cohort of 46 soldiers deployed to Bosnia, was designed to validate blood and urine exposure biomarkers as a
mechanism to document exposures to these chemicals during military deployments. Blood and urine were collected pre-,
during, and post deployment. Standard questionnaire was administered, and environmental and occupational monitoring
methods were conducted for comparison to the exposure biomarker results. The urine depleted uranium, blood VOC, urine
heavy metals, and blood heavy metals results are compared pre-, during, and post deployment and against standard US
reference ranges for the same compounds. The results of the study indicate that natural uranium and styrene environmental
exposures increased during deployment. Therefore, exposure biomarkers may be a valuable tool in assessing exposures and
risk from environmental and occupational chemicals and hence imperative to include in a comprehensive DoD preventive
medicine program.

development regulation suggested that p63 overexpression reduced serine 9 phosphorylation of GSK3β and AKT. The
selective presence of DNp63 in basal cells of the prostate revealed it to be an excellent new bio-marker of prostate basal cells
and epithelial cell cultures. DNp63 has already found translational utility in the diagnostic pathology setting for excluding
prostate cancer in biopsies dues to its basal cell restricted expression in only benign glands.

technique to breast imaging are promising, demonstrating significant improvements in visualization when compared digital

reducing the total path through which the photon travels. This study seeks to investigate the effects of compression on breast

Four tissues were imaged at different levels of compression using conventional mammography and DEI. A reader study will

There is uncertainty about whether women older than age 65 should undergo screening mammography. Although
screening mammography may benefit some elderly women through the detection of early breast cancers, it may harm other
women through false positive diagnoses and the detection of clinically insignificant lesions. This research study involves the
design and implementation of a data analysis of HCFA Medicare billing claims linked with national tumor registry data from
the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program. The specific aims of this research will evaluate the
following: (1) differences in breast cancer mortality, (2) differences in breast cancer treatment, and (3) differences in breast
cancer tumor attributes between women who were screened and those who were not. The project involves defining whether
Medicare billing claims data are accurate for the assessment of mammography utilization and completion of the outlined aims
once these data were shown to be reliable.

Quality assurance (QA) processes for new technologies are used to ensure safety. Clinical decision support systems
(DSS), identified by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) as an important tool in preventing patient errors, should undergo similar
predeployment testing to prevent introduction of new errors. Post-fielding surveillance, akin to post-marketing surveillance for
adverse events, may detect rarely occurring problems that appear only in widespread use. To assess the quality of a
guideline-based DSS for hypertension, ATHENA DSS, researchers monitored real-time clinician feedback during point-of-
care use of the system. Comments (n=835) were submitted by 44 of the 91 (48.4 percent) study clinicians (median 8.5
comments/clinician). Twenty-three (2.8 percent) comments identified important, rarely occurring problems. Timely analysis
of such feedback revealed omissions of medications, diagnoses, and adverse drug reactions due to rare events in data
extraction and conversion from the electronic health record. Analysis of clinician-user feedback facilitated rapid detection and
correction of such errors. Based on this experience, new technologies for improving patient safety should include mechanisms
for post-fielding QA testing.

Breast cancer cells where shown to express functionally active chemokine receptors that may promote metastasis, and an
anti-human CXCR4 chemokine receptor monoclonal antibody was found to reduce the level of lung metastasis by 61-68
percent. Based on these findings supporting the role for chemokine ligand-receptor interactions in promoting metastasis of
breast cancer, we develop small molecule antagonists to CXCR4. This was accomplished by screening in a competitive assay
synthetic combinatorial libraries (SCLs) made up of D-amino acid peptides for their ability to antagonize CXCR4 receptor
function using HeLa cells and PBMC cells (used as standard), and breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231 and DU4475, known
to express CXCR4), and a monoclonal antibody anti-CXCR4 known to block chemotaxis induced by CXCL12 (formerly
known as SDF-1_). The SCL approach, particularly when generated in a positional scanning (PS) format, allows the direct
identification of the key residue(s) of active peptide sequence(s) from the library screening. Following the screening of a
library, candidate sequences were synthesized and their inhibitory activity on the binding of anti-CXCR4 antibody was
evaluated as well as their ability to abrogate the migratory response of cells inducted by SDF-1_.

This research program will determine whether accelerated neuron death due to increased oxidative stress resulting from
mitochondrial dysfunction can be compensated or corrected by neurotrophin stimulation. The experiments will be carried out
in two models of mitochondrial dysfunction. 1)hippocampal neurons from the trisomy 16 mouse, which undergo increased
apoptosis and have a mitochondrial defect, that has now been identified as a decrease in Complex I-mediated respiration and
2)neurons chronically treated with the neurotoxin rotenone to induce a defect in mitochondrial function. 0.1-0.5 nM rotenone
treatment has now been shown to leave hippocampal neurons vulnerable to a second oxidative stress. A unique aspect of this
approach is that the neuronal responsiveness to brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) will be enhanced by overexpressing
the BDNF receptor via an andenovirus vector, resulting in an increase in sensitivity to BDNF. Such neurons would be expected
to have an enhanced survival response to endogenous BDNF and may be more resistant to oxidative stress characteristic of
Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.

One in seven men over age 60 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Elucidation of early cellular changes that may
predict progression to prostate cancer and the identification of factors that may inhibit or reverse these cellular changes would
be of great clinical significance. Dysregulation of lipid metabolism is an early cellular change that has recently come under
investigation. Two lipid pathways will be explored in this study; 1)over-expression of the lipogenic enzyme fatty acid synthase
(FAS) and 2) cholesterol accumulation in the specialized plasma membrane lipid rafts. Lipid rafts are rich in proteins that
mediate signal transduction and are markers for aggressive prostate cancer. Cell culture research has demonstrated that dietary
supplementation with polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, decreases expression of FAS and may alter
the integrity of lipid raft formation. Treatment with cholesterol-lowering drugs, statins, has also been shown in animals to
inhibit lipid raft formation and induce tumor cell death. We will conduct a randomized placebo-controlled study to evaluate
the effect of fish oil, statin use and fish oil plus statin versus placebo on FAS expression and lipid raft composition in benign,
pre-neoplastic and neoplastic prostate tissue from men undergoing repeat prostate biopsy.

Previous studies have demonstrated the importance of costimulatory interactions for effector CD4+ T helper (Th) cell
development during the primary immune response. However, the role of costimulatory molecules in memory CD4+ T cell
differentiation is not well understood. One model used to study the Th immune response involves oral infection of mice with
the gastrointestinal nematode parasite Heligmosomoides polygyrus. Although the primary immune response to H. polygyrus
is a chronic infection, challenge immunization triggers a T-dependent memory response that impairs adult worm maturation.
In the studies presented herein, the effects of costimulatory molecule blockade on T helper effector cell function during the
memory response were examined. Effector T cell development was inhibited during the primary response to H. polygyrus in
B7-1/ B7-2-/- mice; however, memory Th cells developed that produced IL-4 and mediated effective reductions in adult worm
egg production, but did not provide effective Ag-specific B cell help or support increased germinal center (GC) formation.
Parallel studies in H. polygyrus-challenged CD28-/- mice demonstrated similar IL-4 elevations and decreases in adult worm
egg production. However, Ag-specific Ab responses and increased GC formation were significantly restored in H.
polygyrusinoculated CD28-/- mice. Although elevations in serum IgG1 and GC formation were intact in H. polygyrus-
challenged OX40L-/- mice, elevations in IL-4 and serum IgE were partially inhibited, and associated with decreased worm
expulsion and increased egg production. To further examine the role of OX40L in Ag-specific CD4+ T cell IL-4 production

DNA damage repair after cells are exposed to gamma-irradiation. The effect on DNA repair is mediated in cooperation with
topoisomerase I. Loss of NKX3.1 expression that occurs early in prostate cancer may predispose to DNA damage and thereby

Non-hospitalized morbidity amongst deployed military forces can have adverse affects on military operations. This has
been demonstrated throughout history from Napoleon’s typhus outbreak in the retreat from Moscow, to Merrill’s Maraders’
dysentery outbreak in Burma, and to the US Forces-Somalia dengue and malaria outbreak. Military medical planners do not
have references to estimate the amount of Disease and Non-Battle Injury (DNBI) ‘walking wounded’. These walking wounded
troops are personnel who have some level of morbidity, making them have less than an optimum level of health. This
decrement in their optimum level of health may impact on their individual and collective ability to accomplish their military

The purpose of this research was to investigate the ability of 99-Technetium Sestamibi (Tc-99-SM) to serve as a
non-invasive means of assessing the presence of clinically relevant drug resistance in patients with advanced breast cancer.
Tc-99-SM is a substrate of the p-glycoprotein, the transmembrane drug efflux transporter involved in classic multi-drug
resistance (MDR). We proposed to the hypothesis that rapid clearance of Tc-99-SM correlates with the presence of functional
MDR and can be used to predict which patients will have tumors resistant to chemotherapy drugs that are MDR substrates.
We also proposed investigating whether changes in the tumor clearance of 99-Tc-SM observed before and after the
administration of an MDR inhibitor, could predict whether the inhibitor can overcome clinical drug resistance in an individual

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are the most potent of the known biological toxins, and consequently are listed as
category A biowarfare agents. Currently, the only treatments against BoNTs include preventative antitoxins and long-term
supportive care. Consequently, there is an urgent need for therapeutics to counter these enzymes--post exposure. In a previous
study, we identified a number of small, nonpeptidic lead inhibitors of BoNT serotype A light chain (BoNT/A LC)
metalloprotease activity, and we identified a common pharmacophore for these molecules. In this study, we have focused on
how the dynamic movement of amino acid residues in and surrounding the substrate binding cleft of the BoNT/A LC might
affect inhibitor binding modes. The X-ray crystal structures of two BoNT/A LCs (PDB refcodes=3BTA and 1E1H) were
examined. Results from these analyses indicate that the core structural features of the examined BoNT/A LCs, including
alpha-helices and beta-sheets, remained relatively unchanged during 1ns dynamics trajectories. However, conformational
flexibility was observed in surface loops bordering the substrate binding clefts in both examined structures. Our analyses
indicate that these loops may possess the ability to decrease the solvent accessibility of the substrate binding cleft, while at
the same time creating new residue contacts for the inhibitors. Loop movements and conformational/positional analyses of
residues within the substrate binding cleft are discussed with respect to BoNT/A LC inhibitor binding and our common
pharmacophore for inhibition. The results from these studies may aid in the future identification/development of more potent
small molecule inhibitors that take advantage of new binding contacts in the BoNT/A LC.

Dipicolinic acid (DPA), mostly in the form of Calcium-DPA is a major constituent of bacterial endospores, a
non-metabolizing long-term survival form of Bacillus and Clostridium bacterial species. The contribution of this chemical to
the autofluorescence or luminescence of these spore is examined primarily by comparing excitation-emission (Ex-Em) graphs
taken from a normal strain (DPA+) of Bacillus subtilis spores and from spores of a mutant strain (DPA-) derived from the same
DPA + strain. Ex-Em graphs of the pure chemicals CaDPA, DPA and tryptophan are shown to correspond to particular features
of these graphs for the spores. When the spores are wet or are in a water suspension, much less influence of the DPA is evident
than when they are dry. By comparing the Ex-Em graphs for luminescence from the DPA+spores when they are dry, with these
graphs for chemical DPA or CaDPA, regions of the tow dimensional graph are found which corresponds to the fluorescence
spectrum of dry CaDPA and also of DPA suggesting that not all the DPA is complexed with Calcium. The same regions become
more prominent when the spores are UV irradiated when dry and much more prominent when the spores are UV irradiated
in solution. Another experiment shows much more influence of CaDPA when spores are grown in rich medium as compared
with spores grown in minimal sporulating medium.

trout, embeddedness measures have been used to assess fish spawning and macroinvertebrate habitat, as well as substrate
mobility. Embeddedness is used as a water quality indicator in some areas. No publication provides a comprehensive
description of embeddedness, and the sampling methodology is far from standardized. This technical note represents a
compendium of embeddedness measurement techniques, compiled from journal papers, agency reports, and personal files of
those involved in the development of the techniques and their applications. This technical note also documents the definitions
and usage of the term ‘embeddedness,’ describes the development of embeddedness measurement techniques, provides
guidelines for the application of measurement techniques, and summarizes the existing literature. The information presented
here is derived from a study by Sylte (2002) and accompanies an assessment of the methods reported by Sylte and Fischenich
(in preparation).

used in this study began with 40 participants completing the first round. A total of 27 people completed all three surveys for
67.5% participation. A list of items that panel members determined to be of value for laser incident trend analysis was
submitted during the first two rounds of Delphi surveys. The third round consisted of ranking survey items from the first two
rounds for data fields to be included in the laser incident reporting form. Ranked survey responses from panel members
resulted in 100 data collection items,grouped by four distinct sections. The sections of the form included 12 demographic

Enhanced peptide-coated quantum dots (with high brightness and high saturation intensity) were developed. Two
high-affinity targeting ‘velcro-pairs’ based on avidin-biotin and fluorescine-antibody interactions were demonstrated and used
to specifically target single proteins in membranes of live cells. Single molecule spectroscopy and imaging of individual
quantum dot-labeled lipid rafts receptors were performed. Software tools were developed to analyze individual diffusion and
trafficking trajectories. These studies provide strong support for the lipid raft hypothesis. Cloning and fusion of avidin to four
immune synapse components were achieved. These mutants are being characterized by flow cytometry and fluorescence
microscopy. This report provides information on the following new findings: (1) hybrid approach to the synthesis of highly
luminescent infrared CdTe/ZnS and CdHgTe/ZnS quantum dots; (2) bioactivation and cell targeting of semiconductor
CdSe/ZnS quantum dots with phytochelatin-related peptides; (3) development of bright Cd+ rich peptide-coated quantum
dots; (4) comparison of the photophysical and colloidal properties of biocompatible quantum dots using fluorescence
correlation spectroscopy (FCS); (5) testing the lipid raft hypothesis by single molecule imaging of targeted peptide-coated
quantum dots; and (6) molecular cloning and fusion of avidin to immunological synapse (IS) components.

Objectives: An interprofessional, collaborative group of educators, patient safety officers, and Federal program directors
teamed up to create an integrated, patient safety-centered curriculum for the education of physicians, nurses, and other health
professional faculty leaders. Methods: Executive and advisory committees became a collaborative team, surveying and
cataloguing existing educational tools and materials. They synthesized materials about patient safety and interprofessional
collaboration to provide faculty with tools for assessing and improving their current teaching practices that influence patient
safety. Results: The curriculum consists of a modular handbook and linked train-the-trainer workshop exercises on the key
theme: improving the culture of safety through improving interprofessional collaboration. Five topics structure the curriculum:
Patient Safety Basics, Developing Academic Leadership, Improving the Culture of Practice, Changing the Response to Error,
and Applied Principles of Interprofessional Teaching and Learning. Conclusions: One hundred thirty-seven faculty and staff
educators from 9 States, representing 14 health professions, have used the curriculum through the workshop mode. Based on
their estimates of the number of health professionals and students in their spheres of influence, they have the potential to
influence more than 10,000 individuals in improving patient safety through interprofessional collaboration.

Evaluating an Interactive, Multimedia Education and Decision Program for Early-Stage Prostate Cancer Patients in
a Randomized Controlled Trial

Despite advances in treatment, uniform treatment recommendations for localized prostate cancer have yet to emerge.
Consequently, men with this diagnosis are faced with a complex set of disease information and treatment challenges as they
select a treatment option (Diefenbach, et al., 2002). To educate patients about prostate cancer and its treatment and to ease their
decisional burden, we have developed an innovative CD-ROM based multimedia prostate cancer interactive education system.
The development of the software has been guided by our cognitive-affective, self-regulation theoretical framework
(Diefenbach & Leventhal, 1996; Miller & Diefenbach, 1998). PIES uses the metaphor of a health center. Patients can explore
various rooms to interactively obtain treatment and disease information. PIES goes beyond the inclusion of text, video, audio,
and animation, by providing a unique intelligent expert system that tailors text information to the patient’s information seeking
preferences (high vs. low monitoring; Miller, 1996; Miller & Diefenbach, 1998). Research has identified high monitors as
information seeking and being more distressed compared to low monitors, who are classified as information distracting and
being less distressed.

The goal of this research has been to develop new methods of imaging tumors. The primary effort has been in developing
an imaging method based on the ultrasonic vibration potential. We have formulated a complete theory of image formation for
an arbitrary shape object irradiated by a plane wave. Experiments have been carried out that verify the theory and demonstrate
straightforward examples of the use of the method. Work has focused on construction and optimization of an apparatus for
scanning a transducer and recording images. Additionally, we have investigated the use of phase contrast x-ray imaging for
tumor detection using ultrasonic radiation pressure to modify x-ray phase contrast images. Experiments have been carried out
with phantoms to demonstrate the method.

The overall hypothesis that drives this project is that persistent replication stress generates mutational events in breast
epithelial cells that fuel breast cancer (BCa) progression. Our model predicts that a major source of replicative stress in BCa
is hypoxia, which stalls active replication forks, and selects for cells that have bypassed the this S-phase checkpoint due to
mutations in the ATR-hchkl pathway. The specific aims of this project are: (1) to define the role of the ATR checkpoint pathway
in hypoxia-induced cytostasis, and (2) to determine whether defects in this checkpoint pathway promotes BCa progression,
and confers sensitivity to killing by certain anticancer agents.

The goals of this project are: 1) demonstration that androgen deprivation produces transient/permanent prostatic vascular
damage; and, 2) characterization of vascular targets for molecular treatment modalities that are induced/unmasked by
androgen deprivation. Progress during the initial year has focused on immunohistochemical evaluation of the kinetics of
changes induced in the prostate vasculature and surrounding tissue, and on demonstration of induction of a pro- coagulative
state indicative of acute vascular damage. Characterization of change in markers of vascular stability, and endothelial,
epithelial and stromal cell proliferation and death, demonstrates clearly that the vascular endothelial compartment is labilized
maximally at two days post-androgen deprivation, and rebounds between 7-l4 days after androgen deprivation. Three-
dimensional reconstruction of the prostatic vasculature from xenografts perfused with fluorescently labeled lectin
demonstrates induction of areas of denuded vascular basement membrane is accompanied by leakage of lectin and fibrinogen
into the interstitial tissue space and appearance of Tissue Factor on endothelial cell surfaces. Studies in year two will focus
on verification of areas of vascular damage utilizing human platelets, and on characterization of new/unmasked targets by
phage display. Induction of acute vascular damage suggests the opportunity for specific therapeutic targeting without risk of
morbidity associated with long-term hormonal therapy.

delineate the region of the phosphorylation on SH3PXl. Based on these studies, we conclude that SH3PXl phosphorylation
is lost in the truncation mutant DeltaC339. In parallel site-directed mutagenesis studies, we conclude that all conserved point-
mutants of SH3PXl retain tyrosine phosphorylation. Given these findings, we believe that Mass Spectrometry may provide a
more sensitive means to identify the ACK2 phosphorylation site(s) on SH3PXl and efforts have been made to generate
recombinant forms of ACK2 and SH3PXl. In addition, in vitro kinase screens for inhibitors of ACK2 have been carried out
at the high-throughput facility at Merck& Co., Inc. The pyrido-pyrimidine compound from Park Davis (PD158780) has been
shown to effectively block ACK2 in vitro and additional experiments will be carried out to determine its activity in vivo. The
ability to regulate this phosphorylation event will help to determine the importance of ACK2 activity in receptor endocytosis
and degradation.

Members of the Ras family of oncoproteins cause a high percentage of human cancers. Cancer proliferation can result
from mutations in ras genes, overexpression of Ras proteins, or the aberrant activation of pathways that impinge on Ras
signaling. Ras proteins must be posttranslationally modified with farnesyl and palmitoyl lipids to associate with the plasma
membrane and exhibit transforming activity. Consequently, inhibitors of Ras farnesylation halt the growth of breast and other
cancers. However, in addition to farnesylation, the palmitoylation of Ras cysteine residues by the enzyme palmitoyl
acyltransferase (PAT) contributes to the transforming activity of Ras. Hence, the development of potent and selective inhibitors
of PAT could define a novel class of anticancer agents. To identify compounds that affect Ras palmitoylation, we synthesized
a novel fluorescent Ras-mimetic substrate. This and a related Src-mimetic substrate were used to investigate a small molecule
inhibitor of PAT termed JF081204. To test the hypothesis that this inhibitor may exhibit anticancer activity by blocking
palmitoylation of Ras proteins, we evaluated JF081204 as an anticancer agent, synthesized analogues to investigate structure
activity relationships, and probed the mechanism of action of these compounds. We demonstrated that JF081204 inhibits PAT
activity in platelets but does not inhibit palmitoylation of Ras in cancer cell lines.

The overall purpose of the project is to use silkelastin-like polymers (SELPs) for the development of controlled gene
delivery systems for localized breast cancer gene therapy. The rationale is that by controlling the structure of the polymer, it
is possible to control DNA release, duration of transgene expression and the corresponding reduction in tumor size. In year
2 progress was made in the following areas: i) Finished the biosynthesis of three SELP 415K analogs with incremental increase
in molecular weight and started on the biosynthesis of SELP 815K, ii) Compared the physicochemical characteristics of
hydrogels made from SELP 415K and SELP 47K, iii) Compared the DNA release characteristics of hydrogels made from
SELP 415K and SELP 47K and evaluated the interaction of DNA with these polymers. The next logical steps are to finish the
biosynthesis of the third analog (815K), conduct characterization and release studies using hydrogels made from this analog
and evaluate the delivery systems in murine models of breast cancer as proposed in the application.

This project is to explore an innovative CAD strategy for improving early detection of breast cancer in screening
mammograms by focusing on computerized analysis and detection of cancers missed by radiologists. The research in the
second year is on (i) continuation of missed cancer analysis with a focus on density analysis and its effect on CAD detection;
(ii) new CAD system design. The achievements include (1) A comprehensive analysis was taken on the effect of breast density
on cancer detection. The accomplishments include breast dense tissue segmentation, correlation analysis of mammogram
density features between missed and detected stages, statistical testing of density difference between normal and cancerous
mammograms, baseline study of the effect of density on CAD detection performance using existing algorithm. (2) A new CAD
system was designed based on the existing secondgeneration CAD algorithm and the missed cancer analysis. Due to the
effective modification strategies taken in the new system, detection performance was improved for mammograms at both
detected and missed stages. However, with the focus on missed cancer analysis and detection, a bigger improvement was
obtained in detecting missed cases even though the general detection performance is still lower than that at detected stage.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of most common cancers affecting American men. Radiotherapy is a prevalent modality for
the treatment of prostate tumor. Although radiation is capable of eradicating localized prostate tumors, nearly 30% of patients
treated with potentially curative doses relapse at the sites of irradiation. Therefore, there is an imperative need to improve the
success rate of radiotherapy for PCa. This proposal is focused on a role of 1 2-lipoxygenase (LOX) in modulating the radiation
response of PCa cells. 12-LOX, the enzyme of interest, has already been identified as a promoter for PCa growth and
progression. In our studies, 12-LOX was found to promote the resistance of PCa cells to radiotherapy. Inhibition of 12-LOX
was found to sensitize PCa cells to radiotherapy and this sensitization maybe due to the activation of caspase-3, suggesting
12-LOX as a novel target for radiosensitization. Further studies will allow us to evaluate 12-LOX as a target to develop
radiosensitizer for PCa radiotherapy. The knowledge gained from proposed study will have significant impact on future
radiotherapy for PCa.

We are developing a knock-in’ mouse model with a mutation (glycine 525 to leucine, G525L) in estrogen receptor alpha
(ERalpha) that permits exogenous regulation of its ligand-induced signaling pathways. This ligand-binding pocket mutation
significantly reduces ERalpha response to endogenous estrogens but not to the synthetic nonsteroidal estrogen
diethylstilbestrol (DES). Therefore, ERalpha signaling pathways can be turned on and off’ in these mice through DES
administration or withdrawal. To generate knock-in mice, an ERalpha construct containing the G525L mutation was
engineered to facilitate homologous recombination into the mouse genome. The targeting construct was electroporated into
ES cells, two positive clones were injected into mouse blastocysts, chimeras were generated, and germline transmission was
established. Heterozygous mice were mated to produce litters of homozygous, heterozygous, and wild type mice. Genomic
DNA from homozygous animals was sequenced and confirmed the G525L mutation was present. Reproductive tissues from
5 week old heterozygous and homozygous females were analyzed. Homozygous mice had immature and hypoplastic uterine
tissue and mammary gland ductal trees. Homozygous ovaries were similar to those of heterozygous animals. Further analysis
of this knock-in model will provide valuable information about the role of ERalpha in mammary gland development and
carcinogenesis.

Report No.(s): AD-A435115; No Copyright; Avail: CASI; A02, Hardcopy
It has recently been reported that disruption of the circadian clock leads to increased breast cancer risk in humans and to
a high rate of ionizing radiation (IR)-induced tumors in mice. Cryptochrome 1 and 2 proteins are core components of the
mammalian circadian clock and mice mutated in both genes are arrhythmic. We tested Cry1-/-Cry2-/- mice and fibroblasts
derived from these mice for radiation induced cancer and killing, and DNA damage checkpoint and killing, respectively. We
find that the arrhythmic mice and fibroblasts are indistinguishable from wild-type controls with respect to their
radiation-induced morbidity and mortality. We also find that upregulation of the cell cycle kinase Weel in the absence of
Cryptochromes does not affect the DNA damage checkpoint and that c-Myc regulation is normal in the absence of
Cryptochromes. Our data suggest that the disruption of the circadian clock per se does not predispose mice to cancer. It appears
that the core clock proteins may participate in DNA damage checkpoints in manners unique to each core clock protein and
as a consequence circadian disruption may or may not predispose mice to cancer depending on the specific mechanism of
disruption.

Members of the BCL-2 family of cell death regulators play critical roles in the progression of androgen-independent,
metastatic prostate cancer. Despite years of research, the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of these proteins remain
unclear. In previous studies we demonstrated that BCL-2 family proteins regulate a crucial step in the apoptotic pathway
(cytochrome c release) by regulating endoplasmic reticular and mitochondrial calcium fluxes. In this project we are studying
these effects in more detail, focusing on the possibility that the so-called ‘BH3 only’ proteins and Bax directly promote
endoplasmic reticular calcium release. To this end, we are (1) Defining the effects of mitochondrial calcium uptake on
cytochrome c mobilization and release; (2) Determining the effects of BH3 only members of the BCL-2 family on intracellular
calcium fluxes; and (3) Identifying possible direct effects of Bax and Bak on ER calcium fluxes. With this information in hand,
we expect that we will be able to define therapeutic strategies that directly target the cell death resistance mechanisms that
appear to limit the effects of currently available therapies.

to create a set of encoded hairpins targeted against the genomic complement of RPTKs. This goal has been met. By adopting
high-throughput approaches to the construction of hairpins we have created a set of silencing agents not only for the genomic
complement of receptor tyrosine kinases, but also all tyrosine kinases and a large number of genes functionally related to the
RPTKs. Other developments include the use of shRNAs in the production of transgenic animals and microarray-based shRNA
delivery for phenotypic screening. Both of these are potentially useful in future studies of the tyrosine kinase targeting

Yersinia pestis Yop Secretion Portein F: Purification, Characterization, and Protective Efficacy Against Bubonic Plague

Yersinia pestis is a gram-negative human pathogen that uses a type III secretion system to deliver virulence factors into
human hosts. The delivery is contact-dependent and it has been proposed that polymerization of Yop secretion protein F
(YscF) is used to puncture mammalian cell membranes to facilitate delivery of Yersinia outer protein effectors into host cells.
To evaluate the potential immunogenicity and protective efficacy of YscF against Y. pestis, we used a purified recombinant
YscF protein as a potential vaccine candidate in a mouse subcutaneous infection model. YscF was expressed and purified from
Escherichia coli by immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography and protein identity was confirmed by ion trap mass
spectrometry. The recombinant protein was highly alpha-helical and formed relatively stable aggregates under physiological
conditions. The properties were consistent with behavior expected for the native YscF, suggesting that the antigen was
properly folded. Ten mice were inoculated subcutaneously, administered booster injections after one month, and challenged
with 130 LD(50) of wild type Y. pestis CO92. Six animals in the vaccinated group but none in the control group survived the
challenge. The vaccinated animals produced high levels of specific antibodies against YscF as determined by Western blot.
The data were statistically significant (P=0.053 by two-tailed Fisher’s test), suggesting that the YscF protein can provide a
protective immune response against lethal plague challenge during subcutaneous plague infection.

Genomic Diversity of Burkholderia pseudomallei Clinical Isolates: Subtractive Hybridization Reveals a Burkholderia

Burkholderia pseudomallei is the etiologic agent of the disease melioidosis and is a category B biological threat agent.
The genomic sequence of B. pseudomallei K96243 was recently determined, but little is known about the overall genetic
diversity of this species. Suppression subtractive hybridization was employed to assess the genetic variability between two
311
distinct clinical isolates of B. pseudomallei, 1026b and K96243. Numerous mobile genetic elements, including a temperate
bacteriophage designated phi1026b, were identified among the 1026b-specific suppression subtractive hybridization products.
Bacteriophage phi1026b was spontaneously produced by 1026b, and it had a restricted host range, infecting only Burkholderia
mallei. It possessed a noncontractile tail, an isometric head, and a linear 54,865-bp genome. The mosaic nature of the phi1026b
genome was revealed by comparison with bacteriophage phiE125, a B. mallei-specific bacteriophage produced by
Burkholderia thailandensis. The phi1026b genes for DNA packaging, tail morphogenesis, host lysis, integration, and DNA
replication were nearly identical to the corresponding genes in phiE125. On the other hand, phi1026b genes involved in head
morphogenesis were similar to head morphogenesis genes encoded by Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
bacteriophages. Consistent with this observation, immunogold electron microscopy demonstrated that polyclonal antiserum
against phiE125 reacted with the tail of phi1026b but not with the head. The results presented here suggest that B.
pseudomallei strains are genetically heterogeneous and that bacteriophages are major contributors to the genomic diversity of
this species. The bacteriophage characterized in this study may be a useful diagnostic tool for differentiating B. pseudomallei
and B. mallei, two closely related biological threat agents.

combined topics) and topics were chosen for presentation by rank-ordering codes for positive and negative comment
categories/topics. The top 50% of positive comments included four categories/topics: confidence in leadership, satisfaction
with job overall, commitment/loyality to the FAA, and confidence in nonsupervisory employees. The top 50% of negative
comments included 20 categories/topics. Of these, the categories/topics representing the highest proportion of negative
comments were: confidence in leadership; morale; privatization/future contracting; understaffing; FAA policies, practices, and
programs; encouraging hard work; management concern for employees; promotion equity; comments about the survey; and
trust. The high number of negative comments included in this report should not compel the reader to conclude that employees
were extremely dissatisfied overall. In fact, the quantitative reports of response frequencies to the closed-ended items on the
survey revealed a variety of areas where most employees were satisfied. For a balanced view of employee feedback, consider
the results from the quantitative reports along with employee comments from the survey.

The specific aims of this project were 1) to determine whether objective test measures reveal any progressive diminution
in cognitive function among the GW-era veterans who participate in the study in 1995-1998 (Time 1) by comparing test
performance observed initially to performance 4-5 years later and 2) to determine whether any identifiable declines in function
are related to exposures experienced during deployment to the Gulf, post-traumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorder,
or existence of multiple health complaints. Participants were deployed and non-deployed GW-era veterans who were tested
at Time 1. The GW-deployed group included patients initially referred for clinical neuropsychological evaluations and a group
of individuals seeking treatment or diagnostic evaluation for any purpose. Controls were treatment-seeking non deployed
GW-era veterans studied between 1995-1998. The prior finding of differences between the deployed and non-deployed
treatment seeking GW-era veterans in neuropsychological outcomes was not supported by the Time 2 data. This may reflect
spurious findings at Time 1 or selection bias in the non-deployed group (high rates of major depression). The deployed veteran
group did not perform worse at Time 2 than Time 1 suggesting that there was no progressive cognitive decline associated with
GW deployment.

Managing Lunar and Mars Mission Radiation Risks, Part 1, Cancer Risks, Uncertainties, and Shielding Effectiveness
Cucinotta, Francis A.; Kim, Myung-Hee Y.; Ren, Lei; July 2005; 44 pp.; In English

This document addresses calculations of probability distribution functions (PDFs) representing uncertainties in projecting
fatal cancer risk from galactic cosmic rays (GCR) and solar particle events (SPEs). PDFs are used to test the effectiveness of
potential radiation shielding approaches. Monte-Carlo techniques are used to propagate uncertainties in risk coefficients
determined from epidemiology data, dose and dose-rate reduction factors, quality factors, and physics models of radiation
environments. Competing mortality risks and functional correlations in radiation quality factor uncertainties are treated in the
calculations. The cancer risk uncertainty is about four-fold for lunar and Mars mission risk projections. For short-stay lunar
missins (\h180 d), SPEs present the most significant risk, but one effectively mitigated by shielding. For long-duration (\g180
d) lunar or Mars missions, GCR risks may exceed radiation risk limits. While shielding materials are marginally effective in
reducing GCR cancer risks because of the penetrating nature of GCR and secondary radiation produced in tissue by relativisitc
particles, polyethylene or carbon composite shielding cannot be shown to significantly reduce risk compared to aluminum
shielding. Therefore, improving our knowledge of space radiobiology to narrow uncertainties that lead to wide PDFs is the
best approach to ensure radiation protection goals are met for space exploration.

technologies and publications have developed a closed-loop concept that involves adjusting or modulating (cybernetic, for
governing) a person’s task environment based upon a comparison of that person’s physiological responses (bio-) with a
training or performance criterion. This approach affords the opportunity to deliver physiological self-regulation training in an
entertaining and motivating fashion and can also be employed to create a conditioned association between effective
performance state and task execution behaviors, while enabling tracking of individuals psychophysiological status over time
in the context of an interactive task challenge. This paper describes the aerospace spin-off technologies in this training
application area as well as the current spin-back application of the technologies to long-duration missions - the Recreation
Embedded State Tuning for Optimal Readiness and Effectiveness (RESTORE) concept. The RESTORE technology is
designed to provide a physiological self-regulation training countermeasure for maintaining and reinforcing cognitive
readiness, resilience under psychological stress, and effective mood states in long-duration crews. The technology consists of
a system for delivering physiological self-regulation training and for tracking crew central and autonomic nervous system
function; the system interface is designed to be experienced as engaging and entertaining throughout repeated training sessions
on long-duration missions. Consequently, this self-management technology has threefold capability for recreation, behavioral
health problem prophylaxis and remediation, and psychophysiological assay. The RESTORE concept aims to reduce the risk
of future manned exploration missions by enhancing the capability of individual crewmembers to self-regulate cognitive states
through recreation-embedded training protocols to effectively deal with the psychological toll of long-duration space flight.

Psychologically based crowd modeling is essentially absent from current computer simulations and training. A two-fold
method is proposed for incorporating a cognitive psychological layer into models of crowd behavior. Naturalistic observation
techniques are employed to measure human behaviors during the 1999 World Trade Organization protest, a 2004 antiwar
protest, and military MOUT training exercises involving crowds. Survey research is employed to identify and describe crowd
and control force interaction variables and the strength of the relation between variables and a crowd turning violent. The
results of these two studies will contribute to an on-going effort to provide a psychological basis for a more realistic model
of crowd-control force interactions.

patients who are at risk for adverse cardiac events, but few studies have examined the practical application of theses clinical
guidelines. We performed a multicenter intervention study in five acute care hospitals to measure, characterize, and increase
the utilization of perioperative beta-blocker therapy for surgical patients at intermediate to high risk of cardiac complications.
We also reviewed all cases of perioperative MI. Following baseline observations, we developed a multifaceted educational
intervention using grand rounds, academic detailing, and peer profiling to disseminate current guidelines for perioperative
beta-blocker use. We the collected postintervention data to assess changes in practice patterns and clinical outcomes.
Preliminary results demonstrate a significant underutilization of perioperative beta-blocker therapy among patients at risk for
adverse cardiac events, and we have identified several barriers to implementing the guidelines. This paper highlights the
lessons learned while implementing a clinical guideline and working to promote an evidence-based intervention aimed at
improving patient safety.

The elements of Brayton technology development emphasize power conversion system risk mitigation. Risk mitigation
is achieved by demonstrating system integration feasibility, subsystem/component life capability (particularly in the context
of material creep) and overall spacecraft mass reduction. Closed-Brayton-cycle (CBC) power conversion technology is viewed
as relatively mature. At the 2-kWe power level, a CBC conversion system Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of six (6) was
achieved during the Solar Dynamic Ground Test Demonstration (SD-GTD) in 1998. A TRL 5 was demonstrated for 10
kWe-class CBC components during the development of the Brayton Rotating Unit (BRU) from 1968 to 1976. Components
currently in terrestrial (open cycle) Brayton machines represent TRL 4 for similar uses in 100 kWe-class CBC space systems.
Because of the baseline component and subsystem technology maturity, much of the Brayton technology task is focused on
issues related to systems integration. A brief description of ongoing technology activities is given.

Applications in Bioastronautics and Bioinformatics: Early Radiation Cataracts Detected by Noninvasive, Quantitative,
and Remote Means

Human exploration of Mars is a key goal in NASA’s exploration planning in the next 20 years. Maintaining crew health
and good vision is certainly an important aspect of achieving a successful mission. Continuous radiation exposure is a risk
factor for radiation-induced cataracts in astronauts because radiation exposure in space travel has the potential of accelerating
the aging process (ref. 1). A patented compact device (ref. 2) based on the technique of dynamic light scattering (DLS) was
designed for monitoring an astronaut’s ocular health during long-duration space travel. This capability of early diagnosis,
unmatched by any other clinical technique in use today, may enable prompt initiation of preventive/curative therapy. An
Internet web-based system integrating photon correlation data and controlling the hardware to monitor cataract development
in vivo at a remote site in real time (teleophthalmology) is currently being developed. The new technology detects cataracts
very early (at the molecular level). Cataract studies onboard the International Space Station will be helpful in quantifying any
adverse effect of radiation to ocular health. The normal lens in a human eye, situated behind the cornea, is a transparent tissue.
It contains 35 wt % protein and 65 wt % water. Aging, disease (e.g., diabetes), smoking, dehydration, malnutrition, and
exposure to ultraviolet light and ionizing radiation can cause agglomeration of the lens proteins. Protein aggregation can take
place anywhere in the lens, causing lens opacity. The aggregation and opacification could produce nuclear (central portion of
the lens) or cortical (peripheral) cataracts. Nuclear and posterior subcapsular (the membrane’s capsule surrounds the whole
lens) cataracts, being on the visual optical axis of the eye, cause visual impairment that can finally lead to blindness. The lens
proteins, in their native state, are small in size. As a cataract develops, this size grows from a few nanometers (transparent)
to several micrometers (cloudy). Ansari and Datiles have shown that DLS can detect cataracts at least two to three orders of
magnitude earlier noninvasively and quantitatively than the best imaging (Scheimpflug) techniques in clinical use today (ref.
3).

We introduce a wavelet-like transform similar to the Haar transform, but with the properties that it packs the results into
the same number of bits as the original data, and is reversible. Our method, called TLHaar, uses table lookups to replace the
averaging, differencing, and bit shifting performed in a Haar IntegerWavelet Transform (IWT). TLHaar maintains the same
coefficient magnitude relationships for the low- and high-pass coefficients as true Haar, but reorders them to fit into the same
number of bits as the input signal, thus eliminating the sign bit that is added to the Haar IWT output coefficients. Eliminating
the sign bit avoids using extra memory and speeds the transform process. We tested TLHaar on a variety of image types, and
when compared to the Haar IWT TLHaar is significantly faster. For image data with lines or hard edges TLHaar coefficients
compress better than those of the Haar IWT. Due to its speed TLHaar is suitable for streaming hardware implementations with
fixed data sizes, such as DVI channels.

A major role of the Scalable I/O Project is to detect errors before our end users do. In order to do this, we have developed

Edge Preserving Smoothing and Sementation of 4-D Images via Transversely Isotropic Scale-Space Processing and
Fingerprint Analysis

Enhancements are described for an approach that unifies edge preserving smoothing with segmentation of time sequences
of volumetric images, based on differential edge detection at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Potential applications of
these 4-D methods include segmentation of respiratory gated positron emission tomography (PET) transmission images to
improve accuracy of attenuation correction for imaging heart and lung lesions, and segmentation of dynamic cardiac single
photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images to facilitate unbiased estimation of time-activity curves and kinetic
parameters for left ventricular volumes of interest. Improved segmentation of lung surfaces in simulated respiratory gated
cardiac PET transmission images is achieved with a 4-D edge detection operator composed of edge preserving 1-D operators
applied in various spatial and temporal directions. Smoothing along the axis of a 1-D operator is driven by structure separation
seen in the scale-space fingerprint, rather than by image contrast. Spurious noise structures are reduced with use of small-scale
isotropic smoothing in directions transverse to the 1-D operator axis. Analytic expressions are obtained for directional
derivatives of the smoothed, edge preserved image, and the expressions are used to compose a 4-D operator that detects edges
as zero-crossings in the second derivative in the direction of the image intensity gradient. Additional improvement in
segmentation is anticipated with use of multiscale transversely isotropic smoothing and a novel interpolation method that
improves the behavior of the directional derivatives. The interpolation method is demonstrated on a simulated 1-D edge and
incorporation of the method into the 4-D algorithm is described.

Consoles that use three-dimensional (3-D) perspective views on flat screens to display data seem to provide a natural,
increasingly affordable solution for situational awareness tasks. However, the empirical evidence supporting the use of 3-D
displays is decidedly mixed. Across an array of tasks, a number of studies have found benefits for 3-D perspective over
two-dimensional (2-D) views, while other studies have found rough parity, and still other studies have found 2-D superior to
3-D. Interestingly, many realistic military tasks have complex demands that require both types of views at different points in
time. This paper investigates an interface concept called ‘orient and operate,’ which employs the advantages of both 2-D and
3-D displays.

Clinical decision support (CDS) systems show promise for enhancing patient safety, but they require rigorous evaluation
before they can be implemented widely. We developed a software application for use with personal digital assistants (PDAs)
that models patient-specific dose responses to help physicians predict steady-state warfarin dosing requirements and steer
patients to a therapeutic level of anticoagulation as quickly and safely as possible. We also designed a randomized, controlled
multi-site trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the Warfarin Dosing and Communication System (WARFDOCS) in reducing
warfarin-related errors. Numerous obstacles delayed implementation of the CDS system and completion of the trial. To better
understand the causes that led to the delay, we interviewed key informants at participating hospitals; reviewed study protocols,
administrative records, and meeting minutes; and held discussions to review the data and their interpretation. Salient themes
were identified by consensus of the research team and these were corroborated by key informants. Four major themes emerged.
First, agreement to participate in the trial reflected very different levels of commitment. Sites participating in CDS system
evaluations must be managed actively. Second, the enthusiasm of end-users for a CDS system was derived from a complex
calculus of perceived benefits and burdens. Unfortunately, the most relevant appeal (that such a system would markedly
improve patient safety) could not be made in advance of the trial. Third, research changes everything. Valid research
procedures (e.g., informed consent, randomization, and intrusive data collection) may be necessary, but can themselves affect
a key outcome of most CDS system evaluations: user uptake. Fourth, strong center effects (i.e., the CDS system proved
effective at some sites, but not at others) should be expected. If all politics is local, then much of patient safety research is
localized as well.

In order to explore the potential impact of novel command configurations, it is useful to have some means of extrapolating
from existing systems and comparing the outcome of change from existing to novel systems. By taking a systems view of
operations, it is possible to consider the impact of reconfiguration of the performance of the system and on the agents operating
within the system. The aim of the WESTT analytical prototyping tool is to support system analysis and to allow the analyst
to explore the impact of reconfiguration through the manipulation of models. In this paper we describe the requirements,
development and initial prototype of the WESTT system and illustrate the use of the tool through an example drawn from
emergency service operations.

The paper will describe a basic approach to build a system based on an open architecture (GAMMA (Global Aggregated
Model for Military Assessment). All interacting objects such as military units, assets, geographic objects and non-military
elements such as refugees, civilian population, or civilian organisations (such as The Red Cross), infrastructure elements such
as power plants or cities etc. can be defined and instantiated easily without requiring any program changes. All objects in the
system can act as intelligent agents. A powerful newly developed order interpreter allows a flexible and user friendly input
of strategies and orders to control the dynamic behaviour of the agents which can change during a simulation based on events
and the outcome of interactions (e.g. collateral damage, information operations or psychological operations). Another newly
developed feature is a statistics manager. This statistics manager can be used to display and analyse the results of a simulation
run. It is very flexible and extendible to allow analysing the impact of specific recorded events (e.g demonstrations, riots,
sniper attacks, demolishing of critical infrastructure) on parameters like the stability of a government. A prototype for a proof
of concept of a model to describe the impact of events on a government s stability called ZETA (Zoran Sea Crisis Effects-based
Tool for Analysis of Asymmetric operations) has been developed by NC3A and the Canadian Forces College.

In this paper we will describe the concept for simulation based decision support tool for predicting possible terrorist
activities. Described simulator will improve NATO s capabilities on predicting possible threats concerning terrorist activities
as well as developing various campaigns for antiterrorism actions that could lead to efficient reactions on such situations. The
idea of such simulator will be developed using HLA standard for simulation interoperability. An approach to information
model development on the basis on current taxonomies of Early Warning Systems will be proposed. Example components of
such database will be presented using Unified Modelling Language. Analytical database will be the part of the system on
which the simulation scenarios will be developed. The simulation process will be based on models of asymmetric conflicts
that derive data from analytical part of the system. Developed scenarios and possible antiterrorist activities will concern not
only short term forecast but also will enable government institutions to prepare and take long term steps to deal with possible
threats. This work is strictly connected with MSG 026 project of Early Warning System considering not only developing the
tool itself but also reasoning procedures for knowledge bases.

The Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS) project at the NASA Glenn Research Center is developing a new
software environment for analyzing and designing aircraft engines and, eventually, space transportation systems. Its purpose
is to dramatically reduce the time, effort, and expense necessary to design and test jet engines by creating sophisticated
computer simulations of an aerospace object or system (refs. 1 and 2). Through a university grant as part of that effort,
researchers at the University of Toledo have developed Onyx, an extensible Java-based (Sun Micro-systems, Inc.),
objectoriented simulation framework, to investigate how advanced software design techniques can be successfully applied to
aeropropulsion system simulation (refs. 3 and 4). The design of Onyx’s architecture enables users to customize and extend
the framework to add new functionality or adapt simulation behavior as required. It exploits object-oriented technologies, such
as design patterns, domain frameworks, and software components, to develop a modular system in which users can
dynamically replace components with others having different functionality.

The Ecosystem Functions Model (EFM) is a planning tool that analyzes ecosystem response to changes in flow regime.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) is developing the EFM and envisions
environmental planners, biologists, and engineers using the model to help determine whether proposed alternatives (e.g.,
reservoir operations or levee alignments) would maintain, enhance, or diminish ecosystem health. Project teams can use the
EFM to visualize existing ecologic conditions, highlight promising restoration sites, and assess and rank alternatives according
to the relative enhancement (or decline) of ecosystem aspects. This software is a general tool, applicable to a wide range of
ecotypes and Corps projects.

This effort is building a new system for scalable distributed computing. The basic problem is common in GIG and NCES
systems, where an acute need has arisen for simple tools to assist the developer of a distributed service that will be shared by
huge numbers of client systems in a networked environment. Headed by Professor Ken Birman, the project is exploring a
novel fusion of classical protocols for reliable multicast communication with a new style of peer-to-peer protocol called
scalable ‘gossip’. The basic idea is to implement a communication platform using these new protocols, and then integrate the
platform with standard Web Services tools and technologies to achieve a uniquely easy to use, scalable, and robust solution.
The DURIP cluster has rapidly become a mainstay of the author’s research in Quicksilver, to include scalable services
architecture, time critical services, and scalable reliable event delivery. The cluster is anticipated to increase in usage over the
next several years to include more members of the systems groups at Cornell University. QuickSilver currently has three
sub-efforts that rely heavily on the cluster. The first project focuses on what is called a ‘scalable services architecture.’ This
work explores a novel new approach to building high performance, scalable, self-managed distributed services that can be
dragged and dropped onto the cluster. A second project adopts a similar approach but with a focus on time-critical services.
Using a new form of forward error correction, this activity seems to support a new kind of time-critical or real-time replication
technology that includes support for deadline-driven communication, periodic communication, and guaranteed low-latency
responsiveness even in the face of load bursts or failures. A third project focuses on scalable reliable event delivery, messaging,
and notification.

Thus, our goal is to create a highly useable and available cognitive architecture that will greatly increase the use of cognitive
architectures. To date, cognitive architectures have been either research or proprietary software. Soar has been one of the most
successful cognitive architecture for developing knowledge-rich performance systems. We will greatly improve the
development environment; develop a new, integrated debugger; expand and improve the tutorial and technical documentation;
and provide training and support of the Soar architecture. All software will be freely available on SourceForge. During this
project we have made significant progress in improving the Soar architecture and building a community. The major thrust of
our work can be divided into three parts: 1. Evaluate the current state of Soar software, supporting documentation and tools.
2. Create a plan for future improvements to Soar and development of any new tools. 3. Make significant progress on the
improvements to Soar and its associated tools and documentation.

intended to facilitate research into both advanced Air Force command and control concepts and simulation science. The
JSB-RD environment includes a computer generated forces (CGF) system, the JSB-RD Viewer, which provides theater-level
situation awareness and mission status information in multiple formats, weather and environment simulations, a collection of
sensor simulations, and a gateway(s) to C4ISR systems. A variety of AFRL/IF programs require a flexible, multi-purpose,
modeling and simulation environment in order to represent various aspects of the joint battlespace, and to stimulate and react
to prototype C4ISR systems and components. The JSB-RD system forms the starting point for such an environment. This effort
focused on Visualization, System Integration and Modeling and Simulation Facility Planning. NG developed improvements
and enhancements to the existing JSB-RD Viewer application to allow it to more effectively be used to evaluate and
demonstrate advanced visualization and GUI techniques for theater-level situation awareness, integrated the enhanced
JSB-RD Viewer application with the other major components of the JSB-RD federation, developed test and demonstration
scenarios, and assessed how the existing JSB-RD system, and its individual components, could be used as the starting point
for the development of a more complete C4ISR modeling and simulation environment.

As a result of a multidisciplinary effort involving solid-state physics, quantum mechanics, and materials and surface
science, the first version of a software package dedicated to the atomistic analysis of multicomponent systems was recently
completed. Based on the BFS (Bozzolo, Ferrante, and Smith) method for the calculation of alloy and surface energetics, this
package includes modules devoted to the analysis of many essential features that characterize any given alloy or surface
system, including (1) surface structure analysis, (2) surface segregation, (3) surface alloying, (4) bulk crystalline material
properties and atomic defect structures, and (5) thermal processes that allow us to perform phase diagram calculations. All the
modules of this Alloy Design Workbench 1.0 (ADW 1.0) are designed to run in PC and workstation environments, and their
operation and performance are substantially linked to the needs of the user and the specific application.

The first of three FY05 AN/AQS-20 Through-the-Sensor (TTS) Rapid Transition Process (RTP) demonstrations was
successfully conducted on December 13 through 17, 2004, in the Mine Warfare Room at NAVOCEANO. The end-to-end
demonstration took raw AN/AQS-20 Volume Search Sonar (VSS) and side scan sonar (SSS) data, processed, fused, and
delivered them to the Mine Warfare Environmental Decision Aids Library (MEDAL) Tactical Decision Aid (TDA). This
demonstration was a representative simulation that showed the connectivity and functionality using previously collected raw
AN/AQS-20 Engineering Development Model (EDM) data with other overlapping historical datasets south of Panama City.
In this demonstration, the datasets were processed and fused in a laboratory and placed locally in the Geophysical Database
Variable Grid Dynamic (GDBV-D) and remotely on a Tactical Environmental Data Services (TEDServices) Gateway. Output
formats were successfully ingested into a MEDAL installation using MEDAL’s ftp interface. KTP Seafloor Bathymetric and
Environmental Data (SeaBED) software worked as designed, data were sent and received in the correct formats, and SeaBED
software did not interfere with the normal operation of the Bottom Mapping Workstation (BMW) software. This report
summarizes the results of Demonstration 1 of the AN/AQS-20 RTP.

ways such as engine startup, shutdown, and dynamic and vibrational loads. In addition, when a given component is subjected
to transient environmental and or thermal conditions, the material properties also vary with time. A methodology has now been
developed to allow the CARES/Life computer code to perform reliability analysis of ceramic components undergoing transient
thermal and mechanical loading. This means that CARES/Life will be able to analyze finite element models of ceramic
components that simulate dynamic engine operating conditions. The methodology developed is generalized to account for
material property variation (on strength distribution and fatigue) as a function of temperature. This allows CARES/Life to
analyze components undergoing rapid temperature change in other words, components undergoing thermal shock. In addition,
the capability has been developed to perform reliability analysis for components that undergo proof testing involving transient
loads. This methodology was developed for environmentally assisted crack growth (crack growth as a function of time and
loading), but it will be extended to account for cyclic fatigue (crack growth as a function of load cycles) as well.

To optimize bandwidth efficiency, the natural limitations of each network-supported data type must be overcome or
mitigated. This paper discusses issues affecting bandwidth efficiency through the U.S. Navy’s bandwidth-constrained
wide-area network (WAN). The paper details the prevalent data types found in the naval environment and describes the
characteristics associated with each data type. Commercial, standards-based link layer protocols that have widespread
application in Navy networks also are described. Finally, forward error correction and issues surrounding bandwidth efficiency
are discussed. As with all aspects of an engineered solution, engineers must chose the best tools to confront each aspect of
the link design. Because of the economics and maturity of the technology, Ethernet is a clear choice in the local area networks,
but falls short in the wide area. Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a good choice if all of the applications supported by the
network are Internet Protocol-based, but PPP falls short for a general-purpose network that supports various data types. With
the technology currently available, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is the only technology discussed that can support a
truly converged network supporting voice, video, data, and legacy applications. Figure 4 shows the dynamic bandwidth
allocation achieved using ATM for the WAN.

Network-centric operations are military operations that fully exploit the availability of ‘universal’ connectivity. Much
discussion of network-centric operations focuses on envisioning future applications of the connectivity. These future
applications are a confederation of pieces, not a single unit. The prerequisite for fielding these pieces is an in-place
network-centric architecture that can support their implementation. SSC San Diego has identified seven command, control,
communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) imperatives that represent command
capabilities needed by military forces. Network-centric architecture requires effectively achieving five of these imperatives.
This paper argues the importance of these five, and suggests the value of building technologies to enable these imperatives.
This approach allows clearer understanding of the application of technology while assuring consistency with the end objective
of network-centric operations. SSC San Diego has identified a set of seven command, control, communications, computers,
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) imperatives. These imperatives represent command capabilities that
have been needed by military forces throughout history and are expected to continue to be needed in the future. While the
imperatives are time-independent, the degree to which they can be achieved depends upon available technology. The
imperatives are as follows: Dynamic Interoperable Connectivity, Universal Information Access, Focused Sensing and Data
Collection, Consistent Situation Representation, Information Operations Assurance, and Resource Planning and Management.

Computer password use is on the rise. Passwords have become one of the primary authentication methods used today. It
is because of their high use that organizations have started to place parameters on passwords. Are password restrictions a
nuisance? What are some of the consequences that result as organizations place the burden of their computer security on
passwords? This thesis analyzes the results of a survey instrument that was used to determine if individuals are using similar
techniques or patterns when choosing or remembering their passwords. It also looks at how individuals feel about using
passwords. In addition, the authors examine the literature to determine the importance of choosing strong passwords. This
study reveals some critical issues associated with password choice: many respondents feel that organizational parameters are
a nuisance, many respondents still write their passwords down, over 70% of respondents must remember more than five
passwords, and many individuals are using the same password for multiple applications. The authors see a need for
organizations to minimize the number of passwords individuals must remember. The survey results show that the intent of
password policy is not being followed, and the authors contend that overlooking this finding is a serious threat to the future
of computer security.

Newly emerging robotics applications for domestic or entertainment purposes are slowly introducing autonomous robots
into society at large. A critical capability of such robots is their ability to interact with humans, and in particular, untrained
users. This paper explores the hypothesis that people will intuitively interact with robots in a natural social manner provided
the robot can perceive, interpret, and appropriately respond with familiar human social cues. Two experiments are presented
in which naive human subjects interact with an anthropomorphic robot. Evidence for mutual regulation and entrainment of the
interaction is presented, and how the benefits the interaction as a whole is discussed.

Statistical machine learning has revolutionized computer vision. Systems trained on large quantities of empirical data can
achieve levels of robustness that far exceed their hand-crafted competitors. But this robustness is in a sense ‘shallow’ since
a shift in context to a situation not explored in the training data can completely destroy it. This is not an intrinsic feature of
the machine learning approach, but rather of the rigid separation of the powerfully adaptive training phase from the final
cast-in-stone system. An alternative this work explores is to build ‘deep’ systems that contain not only the trained-up
perceptual modules, but the tools used to train them, and the resources necessary to acquire appropriate training data. Thus,
if a situation occurs that was not explored in training, the system can go right ahead and explore it. This is exemplified through
an object recognition system that is tightly coupled with an ‘active segmentation’ behavior that can discover the boundaries
of objects by making them move.

In 1991, Ballard described the implications of having a visual system that could actively position the camera coordinates
in response to physical stimuli. In humanoid robotic systems, or in any animate vision system that interacts with people, social
dynamics provide additional levels of constraint and provide additional opportunities for processing economy. In this paper,
we describe an integrated visual-motor system that has been implemented on a humanoid robot to negotiate the robot’s
physical constraints, the perceptual needs of the robot’s behavioral and motivational systems, and the social implications of
motor acts.

For the purposes of manipulation, we would like to know what parts of the environment are physically coherent ensembles
-- that is, which parts will move together, and which are more or less independent. It takes a great deal of experience before
this judgement can be made from purely visual information. This paper develops active strategies for acquiring that experience
through experimental manipulation, using tight correlations between arm motion and optic flow to detect both the arm itself
and the boundaries of objects with which it comes into contact. We argue that following causal chains of events out from the
robot’s body into the environment allows for a very natural developmental progression of visual competence, and relate this
idea to results in neuroscience.

Sociable humanoid robots are natural and intuitive for people to communicate with and to teach. The author presents
recent advances in building an autonomous humanoid robot, named ‘Kismet,’ that can engage humans in expressive social
interaction. She outlines a set of design issues and a framework that she has found to be of particular importance for sociable
robots. Having a human-in-the-loop places significant social constraints on how the robot aesthetically appears, how its
sensors are configured, its quality of movement, and its behavior. Inspired by infant social development, psychology, ethology,
and evolutionary perspectives, this work integrates theories and concepts from these diverse viewpoints to enable Kismet to
enter into natural and intuitive social interaction with a human caregiver, reminiscent of parent-infant exchanges. Kismet
perceives a variety of natural social cues from visual and auditory channels, and delivers social signals to people through gaze
direction, facial expressions, body posture, and vocalizations. The author presents the implementation of Kismet’s social
competencies and evaluates each with respect to the following: (1) the ability of naive subjects to read and interpret the robot’s
social cues; (2) the robot’s ability to perceive and appropriately respond to naturally offered social cues; (3) the robot’s ability
to elicit interaction scenarios that afford rich learning potential; and (4) how this produces a rich, flexible, dynamic interaction
that is physical, affective, and social. Numerous studies with naive human subjects are described that provide the data upon
which the author bases her evaluations.

teaching humanoids as children during the child’s Separation and Individuation developmental phase (Mahler, 1979).
Cognitive development during this phase is characterized both by the child’s dependence on her mother for learning while
becoming awareness of her own individuality, and by self-exploration of her physical surroundings. We propose a learning

Within the field of Neuro Robotics we are driven primarily by the desire to understand how humans and animals live and
grow and solve everyday problems. To this aim we adopted a ‘learn by doing’ approach by building artificial systems, e.g.
robots, that not only look like human beings but also represent a model of some brain process. They should, ideally, behave
and interact like human beings (being situated). The main emphasis in robotics has been on systems that act as a reaction to
an external stimulus (e.g. tracking, reaching), rather than as a result of an internal drive to explore or ‘understand’ the
environment. We think it is now appropriate to try to move from acting, in the sense explained above, to ‘understanding.’ As
a starting point we addressed the problem of learning about the effects and consequences of self-generated actions. How does
the robot learn how to pull an object toward itself or to push it away? How does the robot learn that spherical objects roll while
a cube only slides if pushed? Interacting with objects is important because it implicitly explores object representation, even
understanding, and can provide definition of objecthood that could not be grasped with a mere passive observation of the
world. Further, learning to understand what one’s own body can do is an essential step toward learning by imitation. In this
view two actions are similar not only if their kinematics and dynamics are similar but rather if the effects on the external world
are the same.

In 1991, Ballard described the implications of having a visual system that could actively position the camera coordinates
in response to physical stimuli. In humanoid robotic systems, or in any animate vision system that interacts with people, social
dynamics provide additional levels of constraint and provide additional opportunities for processing economy. In this paper,
we describe an integrated visual-motor system that has been implemented on a humanoid robot to negotiate the robot’s
physical constraints, the perceptual needs of the robot’s behavioral and motivational systems, and the social implications of
motor acts.

This report provides a detailed study of the design of feasible human-robot interfaces for near-term deployment in a robot
unit, defined as a tightly coupled group of humans using a multiplicity of robots as tactical tools. There is a strong relationship
between three phases of fielding man-machine systems of this type: system design, operator selection, and operator training.
Here we consider all of these dimensions, developing an understanding of the tradeoffs between highly-trained operators
versus novice operators, the importance of specific cognitive and intellectual reasoning abilities of potential operators, and the
impact of system design on all of this. Clearly, a sophisticated, well-designed system will require less training and enable a
larger set of people to interact with it. The purpose of this study is to span this space of potential design and human factors
issues and identify the inherent wins, losses, and trade-offs given the goal of rapidly fielding such a system.

The AAAI Robot Challenge was established four years ago as a ‘grand challenge’ for mobile robots. The main objectives
of the Challenge are to (a) provide a task that will demonstrate a high level of intelligence and autonomy for robots acting
in a natural, peopled, dynamic environment; (b) stimulate state-of-the-art robotics research to address this task; and (c) use
robot demonstrations to educate the public about the exciting and difficult challenges of robotics research. When the Challenge
was designed, it was anticipated that no single research institution would have adequate resources to meet the Challenge on
its own. The Challenge task is to find the registration booth and register at the National Conference on Artificial Intelligence,
interact with other attendees, and give a technical talk on itself in an assigned room, and at an assigned time. Ideally, the robot
should be given no more information than any other participant arriving in a new city to attend a major technical conference.
In particular, that means that the robot should not know the layout of the convention center beforehand, and the environment
should not be modified. Practically, however, the organizers understand that compromises and flexibility will be necessary in
order to get current state-of-the-art robots to achieve such a task.

CONCLUSIONS: 1. By using ‘context predicates’ we track actions occurring during a dialog to determine which goals
(event and locative) have been achieved or attained and which have not. 2. By tracking ‘context predicates’ we can determine
what actions need to be acted upon next; i.e., predicates in the stack that have not been completed. 3. ‘Locative’ expressions,
e.g. ‘there,’ give us a kind of handle in command and control applications to attempt error correction when locative goals are
being discussed. 4. By interleaving complex dialog with natural and mechanical gestures, we hope to achieve dynamic
autonomy and an integrated multi-modal interface.

One of the challenges in implementing a dynamically autonomous mobile robot is achieving a truly human-centric
multimodal interface so that human operators can interact with the robot as naturally as they would with another human.
Multiple artificial intelligence techniques may be integrated in a distributed computing system through use of an agent-based
architecture. In this effort we utilize an agent-based architecture to achieve a multimodal human-centric interface for
controlling a dynamically autonomous mobile robot. Capabilities provided by the architecture include natural language

Unmanned vehicles, such as mobile robots, must exhibit adjustable autonomy. They must be able to be self-sufficient
when the situation warrants; however, as they interact with each other and with humans, they must exhibit an ability to
dynamically adjust their independence or dependence as co-operative agents attempting to achieve some goal. This is what
we mean by adjustable autonomy. We have been investigating various modes of communication that enhance a robot’s
capability to work interactively with other robots and with humans. Specifically, we have been investigating how natural
language and gesture can provide a user-friendly interface to mobile robots. We have extended this initial work to include
semantic and pragmatic procedures that allow humans and robots to act co-operatively, based on whether or not goals have
been achieved by the various agents in the interaction. By processing commands that are either spoken or initiated by clicking
buttons on a Personal Digital Assistant and by gesturing either naturally or symbolically, we are tracking the various goals in
the interaction, the agent involved in the interaction, and whether or not the goal has been achieved. The various agents
involved in achieving the goals are each aware of their own and others’ goals and what goals have been stated or accomplished
so that eventually any member of the group, be it a robot or a human, if necessary, can interact with the other members to
achieve the stated goals of a mission.

propulsion systems. However, these lean-burning combustors are susceptible to thermoacoustic instabilities (high-frequency
pressure waves), which can fatigue combustor components and even the downstream turbine blades. This can significantly
decrease the safe operating lives of the combustor and turbine. Thus, suppressing the thermoacoustic combustor instabilities
is an enabling technology for lean, low-emissions combustors under NASA’s Propulsion and Power Program. This control
methodology has been developed and tested in a partnership of the NASA Glenn Research Center, Pratt & Whitney, United
Technologies Research Center, and the Georgia Institute of Technology. Initial combustor rig testing of the controls algorithm
was completed during 2002. Subsequently, the test results were analyzed and improvements to the method were incorporated
in 2003, which culminated in the final status of this controls algorithm. This control methodology is based on adaptive phase
shifting. The combustor pressure oscillations are sensed and phase shifted, and a high-frequency fuel valve is actuated to put
pressure oscillations into the combustor to cancel pressure oscillations produced by the instability.

In July and August 2002, five research groups -- Carnegie Mellon University, Northwestern University, Swarthmore
College, Metrica, Inc., and the Naval Research Laboratory -- collaborated and integrated their various robotic systems and
interfaces to attempt The Robot Challenge held at the AAAI 2002 annual conference in Edmonton, Alberta. The goal of this
year’s Robot Challenge was to have a robot dropped off at the conference site entrance; negotiate its way at the site, using
queries and interactions with humans and visual cues from signs, to the conference registration area; register for the
conference; and then give a talk. Issues regarding human/robot interaction and interfaces, navigation, mobility, vision, to name
but a few relevant technologies to achieve such a task, were put to the test. In this report we, the team from the Naval Research
Laboratory, will focus on our portion of The Robot Challenge. We will discuss some lessons learned from collaborating and
integrating our system with our research collaborators, as well as discuss what actually transpired -- what worked and what
failed -- during the robot’s interactions with conference attendees in achieving goals. We will also discuss some of the informal
findings and observations collected at the conference during the interaction and navigation of the robot to complete its various
goals.

A stochastic multidimensional code is constructed for the simulation of a multi-component reacting mixture in pressure
and electrokinetically-driven microchannel flows. The code is based on a detailed physical formulation that incorporates
realistic models for the dependence of mixture properties on local species concentrations, the variation of the zetapotential
with local mixture conditions, and buffer behavior. The stochastic formulation relies on a spectral representation of uncertain
quantities, and thus enables propagation and quantification of uncertainty in model parameters and/or operating conditions.
Polynomial Chaos (PC) decompositions are used for this purpose, and are used in conjunction with a Galerkin methodology.
The new modeling and decision-support capabilities resulting from the combination of a detailed physical model with accurate
and efficient uncertainty quantification formalism are demonstrated, in particular, through application of the stochastic code
to transient computations of protein-labeling reactions in two-dimensional electrochemical microchannel flow. Thus, this
project has established highly efficient uncertainty quantification schemes that are ideally suited for micro-fluidic flows that
arise, in particular, in bio-sensing and detection. By adopting a flexible computational methodology, the presently developed
UQ tools may be readily adapted to assist in design, evaluation and/or deployment of a wide class of flow devices.
Consequently, the impact of the present effort naturally extends well beyond the scope of its immediate applications.

CCR and UCB have achieved the Phase I overall technical objective, which was to demonstrate the feasibility of a
computational virtual laboratory for simulating high voltage effects. Models in support of this objective were identified and
defined in Phase I, with some components implemented in the one-dimensional object oriented code, and others implemented
directly in the 2D code. The 1D code serves as a platform for rapid prototyping of new algorithms. The simplicity of the 1D
code ensures that the algorithm or model remains the focus, rather than the mathematical and programming details of
multi-dimensional implementation. Modes of the formation of a moving plasma cathode interface, scattering of energetic
electrons, high voltage breakdown of insulator surfaces, intense heat fluxes to surfaces, generation of x-rays and an intuitive
and user friendly graphical user interface were described and ready for implementation.

inverse problem: given a large scale dynamics for a swarm, how can one design individual motion to achieve this outcome?
Our approach is to start with continuum models designed to have desired solutions. We will use knowledge gained from the
biological models to derive swarming algorithms that could have both military and industrial use. The designed swarms will
include and additional component not present in biological models, that of a communications network distributed among the
swarmer subgroups that will facilitate operations.

using 1760 weapons. In order to provide greater flexibility, the aircraft carry heterogeneous payloads which can require
deconfiction in order to drop multiple different types of weapons. Current methods of deconfiction and weapon selection are
highly crew dependant and work intensive. This research effort investigates the optimization of an algorithm for weapon
release which allows the aircraft to perform deconfiction automatically. This reduces crew load and response time in order to
deal with time-sensitive targets. The overall problem maps to the Job-Shop Scheduling problem. Optimization of the algorithm
is done through the General Multiobjective Parallel Genetic Algorithm (GENMOP). We examine the results from pedagogical
experiments and real-world test scenarios in the light of improving decision making. The results are encouraging in that the
program proves capable of nding acceptable release schedules, however the solution space is such that applying the program
to real world situations is unnecessary. We present visualizations of the schedules which demonstrate these conclusions.

A matrix lower bound is defined that generalizes ideas apparently due to S. Banach and J. von Neumann. The matrix lower
bound has a natural interpretation in functional analysis, and it satisfies many of the properties that von Neumann stated for
it in a restricted case. Applications for the matrix lower bound are demonstrated in several areas. In linear algebra, the matrix
lower bound of a full rank matrix equals the distance to the set of rank-deficient matrices. In numerical analysis, the ratio of
the matrix norm to the matrix lower bound is a condition number for all consistent systems of linear equations. In optimization
theory, the matrix lower bound suggests an identity for a class of min-max problems. In real analysis, a recursive construction
that depends on the matrix lower bound shows that the level sets of continuously differential functions lie asymptotically near
those of their tangents.

For hamiltonian lattice gauge theory, we introduce the matrix product ansatz inspired from density matrix renormalization
group. In this method, wavefunction of the target state is assumed to be a product of finite matrices. As a result, the energy
becomes a simple function of the matrices, which can be evaluated using a computer. The minimum of the energy function
corresponds to the vacuum state. We show that the S = 1/2 Heisenberg chain model are well described with the ansatz. The
method is also applied to the two-dimensional S = 1/2 Heisenberg and U(1) plaquette chain models.

An autonomous field of sensor nodes must acquire and track targets of interest traversing the field. Small detection ranges
limit the detectability of the field. As detections occur in the field, detections are transmitted acoustically to a master node.
Both detection processing and acoustic communication drain a node’s power source. To maximize field life, an approach must
be developed to control processes carried out in the field. This paper presents an adaptive threshold control scheme that
minimizes power consumption while still maintaining the field-level probability of detection. The power consumption of the
field of sensor nodes is driven by the false alarm rate and target detection rate at the individual sensor nodes in this problem
formulation. The control law to be developed is based on a stochastic optimization technique known as evolutionary
programming. Results show that by dynamically adjusting sensor thresholds and routing structures, the controlled field will
have twice the life of the fixed field.

In conversation, people often use spatial relationships to describe their environment, e.g., ‘There is a desk in front of me
and a doorway behind it’, and to issue directives, e.g., ‘Go around the desk and through the doorway.’ In our research, we have
been investigating the use of spatial relationships to establish a natural communication mechanism between people and robots,
in particular, for novice users. In this paper, the work on robot spatial relationships is combined with a multi-modal robot
interface. We show how linguistic spatial descriptions and other spatial information can be extracted from an evidence grid
map and how this information can be used in a natural, human-robot dialog. Examples using spatial language are included for
both robot-to-human feedback and also human-to-robot commands. We also discuss some linguistic consequences in the

Report developed under a Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) program contract tor topic A04-T002.
Training visualization skills, such as terrain appreciation, is generally difficult and inefficient in the real world with natural
representations or in a classroom with analog representations. Field training requires physical relocation of trainees to multiple
sites and is constrained by the terrain types and features at the physical sites available. Classroom training is traditionally based
on analog methods with inflexible formats (e.g., graphics and pictures) that afford little control over viewing perspective,
environmental conditions, or comparison with map representations. In contrast, the application of digital methods to train and
enhance visualization skills may overcome many of these training limitations. This Phase I effort addressed three objectives:
identify a set of key visualization skills required of warfighters, develop core technologies for training those visualization
skills, and develop digital training methods based on the core technologies. In particular, the training approach dynamically
varies digital terrain representations to match real world perspectives and attempts to foster cognitive engagement by
providing trainees direct control over the matching process (e.g., morphing between 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional terrain
perspectives).

a third part, this paper addresses the definition and development of physical and behavior models for Armed forces units based
on Reaction Diffusion Equations (RDE). It explains how such algorithms are optimized and customized to move closer to
ground truth. The last part deals with the lack or rarity of military expertise that forced, until the latest time, the postponement
of the development of Command and Control (C2) models. Overcoming such drawbacks, the technical software architecture
designed for APLET is introduced. The paper then focuses on APLET’s capabilities for C2 model creation considering such
models as UML finite state machines. This program is a part of different works on C4I-M&S interoperability led by the French
MoD. A short-term objective is to obtain an operational interoperability between legacy C4I and simulation systems that meets
the major Military requirements. Thus, alignment of C4I and simulation data models based on C2IEDM is seen as mandatory.
A mid-term objective is to share common components between C4I and M&S in order to improve interoperability and then
to extend Military use of simulation on the battlefield. The long-term objective is to reach the alignment of architectures, for
embedding simulation into C4I thus covering the full spectrum of operational requirements. In that frame, cooperation is
envisioned within SISO C4ISR-Simulation Product Development Group (PDG) and the DMSO Program on Extended Battle
Management Language (XBML). In order to improve the C4I-M&S interoperability, the authors recommend the creation of
an NMSG Technical Activity based on the alignment of C4I and simulation data models and the definition of a common
dictionary. The common sharing of results of the French studies, APLET for instance, UK and US works on BML, Battle
Management Language, could facilitate to start such technical Activity.

Goal Tracking and Goal Attainment: A Natural Language Means of Achieving Adjustable Autonomy

Intelligent mobile robots that interact with humans must be able to exhibit adjustable autonomy, that is the ability to
dynamically adjust the level of autonomy of an agent depending on the situation. When intelligent robots require close
interactions with humans, they will require modes of communication that enhance the ability for humans to communicate
naturally and that allow greater interaction. Our previous work examined the use of multiple modes of communication,
specifically natural language and gestures, to disambiguate the communication between a human and a robot. In this paper,
we propose using context predicates to keep track of various goals during human-robot interactions. These context predicates
allow the robot to maintain multiple goals, each with possibly different levels of required autonomy. They permit direct human
interruption of the robot, while allowing the robot to smoothly return to a high level of autonomy.

systems. The prolonged utility of deterrence hinges on insight into VNSA life cycles and a broader conception of the
psychology inherent in organizational decision making. Bundled as ‘broad biological deterrence’ (BBD), they develop
deterrent strategies that tackle the VNSA threat throughout its life cycle. However, the authors also realize that deterrence may
not work in every case. This sets up a counter-VNSA (C-VNSA) strategy that goes beyond coercion to the defeat of the enemy.
At its core, their C-VNSA strategy defeats a VNSA by the following: (1) denying the negative entropy, or stores of energy,
required to survive attack; and (2) disrupting congruence, or fit, among sub-systems to achieve system failure. By also
understanding the indicators of organizational change during its developmental life cycle, preemptory defeat before the VNSA
reaches maturity becomes feasible. Their approach allows for measuring campaign progress by assessing changes in VNSA
effectiveness.

The Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) has been successfully carrying out hadronic physics studies
since 1996 at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) in Virginia, USA. The characteristics of this electron
beam, together with those of the experimental equipment, offer a unique opportunity to study the electro-production of
hypernuclei through the reaction A(e,e(prime)K(sup +))B(sub (Lambda)), where the hypernuclear production is tagged by the
detection of the scattered electron in coincidence with the produced kaon. The kaon is a part of the associated strangeness pair
production with a (Lambda) hyperon remaining embedded in the nuclear medium to form the hypernucleus. The hypernuclear

1990’s. This paper attempts to provide a comprehensive picture of the progress we have made exploring 2w for NIF ignition.
First we describe the potential operating regime for NIF at 2w and how that can translate into a very large ‘design space’ for
exploring ignition target designs. We then present the results of 2w ignition target design studies indicating that we can
achieving adequate drive and symmetry with 2w and showing how we might capitalize on the large amount of energy available
by electing to trade-off coupling efficiency for, say, better symmetry or plasma conditions. These simulations also define
plasma conditions for ignition-relevant 2w laser-plasma interaction experiments that have been recently performed. We
summarize the results of these experiments which indicate that 2w LPI is not very different from 3w’s. Finally, we show how
recent experimental findings on mitigating 2w laser plasma interactions through reduced intensity and/or judicious choice of
plasma composition can be incorporated into ignition target designs.

range from 100 eV to 250 eV at beamline 8.0.1.3 of the Advanced Light Source at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Significant nondipole effects are found at relatively low energies as a result of Cooper minima in dipole channels and
interchannel coupling in quadrupole channels. Most importantly, sharp disagreement between experiment and theory, when
otherwise excellent agreement was expected, has provided the first evidence of satellite two-electron quadrupole
photoionization transitions, along with their crucial importance for a quantitatively accurate theory.

A comprehensive modeling and experimental effort was carried out to develop an understanding of cellular bio-response
to short duration, high-intensity electric fields. Macroscopic models for determining the time-dependent spatially-variable
electric potential and current flows at single cells were developed. This provides predictions of both transmembrane voltages
and temperature changes. The macroscopic model was coupled to a nano-simulator to probe the sub-cellular response at the
molecular level. Many of the observed details such as PS externalization, the time scales for pore formation, and their probable
diameters were predicted. The relevant parameters of the bio-system were obtained within our group by developing the Time
Domain Dielectric Spectroscopy method. The system is operational, and yields data on the conductivity and permittivities of
cells and its organelles. This is a useful and important development. Cellular responses were measured based on a variety of
techniques, including flow cytometry, optical microscopy and imaging. The central results were: (i) There is a critical electric
field and pulse duration for cell death; (ii) The critical voltage reduces for multiple pulses and increases pulse width; (iii) PS
externalization leading to cell death can be electrically triggered; and (iv) Pore formation can be reversible for short
nano-second pulses. This study would be indicative of the following conclusions: (i) It may be energy efficient to use short
pulses for cell death; (ii) Selective apoptotic targeting of cells appears to be possible; and (iii) Non-uniform internal potentials
(arising from dipole and charge placements) promote cellular transport. Hence, their modification/disruption through
molecular conformational change would alter cell functioning.

We focus on improving the angular discretization of the angular flux for the one-dimensional (1D) spherical geometry
neutron transport equation. Unlike the conventional Sn method, we model the angular dependence of the flux with a
Petrov-Galerkin finite element approximation for the differencing of the angular variable in developing the 1D spherical
geometry Sn equations. That is, we use both a piecewise bi-linear and a quadratic function in each angular bin to approximate
the angular dependence of the flux. This new algorithm that we have developed shows faster convergence with angular
resolution than conventional Sn algorithms.

Many traditional control systems include a distributed collection of front end machines to control hardware. Backend tools
are used to view, modify, and record the signals generated by these front end machines. Software servers, which are a
middleware layer between the front and back ends, can improve a control system in several ways. Servers can enable on-line
processing of raw data, and consolidation of functionality. It many cases data retrieved from the front end must be processed
in order to convert the raw data into useful information. These calculations are often redundantly performance by different
programs, frequently offline. Servers can monitor the raw data and rapidly perform calculations, producing new signals which
can be treated like any other control system signal, and can be used by any back end application. Algorithms can be
incorporated to actively modify signal values in the control system based upon changes of other signals, essentially producing
395
feedback in a control system. Servers thus increase the flexibility of a control system. Lastly, servers running on inexpensive
UNIXworkstations can relay or cache frequently needed information, reducing the load on front end hardware by functioning
as concentrators. Rather than many back end tools connecting directly to the front end machines, increasing the work load of
these machines, they instead connect to the server. Servers like those discussed above have been used successfully at the
Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility to provide functionality such as beam steering, fault monitoring, storage of
machine parameters, and on-line data processing. The authors discuss the potential uses of such servers, and share the results
of work performed to date.

Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are being developed for advanced aerospace propulsion applications to save weight,
improve reuse capability, and increase performance. However, mechanical and environmental loads applied to CMCs can
cause discrete flaws and distributed microdamage, significantly reducing desirable physical properties. Such microdamage
includes fiber/matrix debonding (interface failure), matrix microcracking, fiber fracture and buckling, oxidation, and second
phase formation. A recent study (ref. 1) of the durability of a C/SiC CMC discussed the requirement for improved
nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods for monitoring degradation in these materials. Distributed microdamage in CMCs
has proven difficult to characterize nondestructively because of the complex microstructure and macrostructure of these
materials. This year, an ultrasonic guided-wave scan system developed at the NASA Glenn Research Center was used to
characterize various microstructural and flaw conditions in SiC/SiC (silicon carbide fiber in silicon carbide matrix) and C/SiC
(carbon fiber in silicon carbide matrix) CMC samples.

coverage may be extracted from the corpus, so that relatively few words in an utterance remain unmodeled. In this case, the
situation is qualitatively similar to OOV modeling in a conventional speech recognizer, except that the vocabulary is strictly
divided into ‘filler’ and ‘keyword.’ This paper describes a mechanism for bootstrapping from a relatively weak background
model for word spotting, where OOV words dominate, to a much stronger model where many more word or phrase clusters
have been moved to the foreground and explicitly modeled. With this increase in vocabulary comes an increase in the potency
of language modeling, boosting performance on the original vocabulary. This paper shows how a conventional speech
recognizer can be convinced to cluster frequently occurring acoustic patterns, without requiring the existence of transcribed

arbitrary, dense dispersions of spherical particles. The scattering interactions were modeled with vector multipole functions
and boundary condition solutions for each particle. Multiple scattering was simulated by translating the scattered wave fields
from one particle to another with the use of translational addition theorems, summing the multiple-scattering contributions,
and recalculating the scattering using an iterative method. The theory and initial results for the model are presented, including
an integral derivation for the translational addition theorems. The model can simulate 3D material microstructures with a
variety of particle size distributions, compositions, and volume fractions. To test the model, spectra and wave field patterns
were generated from both ordered and disordered microstructures containing up to several hundred particles. The model
predicts wave propagation phenomena such as refractive focusing, mode conversion, and band gap phenomena. The
convergence of the iterations ranges from excellent to fair, and is dependent on the field (longitudinal or shear), particle
configuration, and elastic wave frequency. The model is currently limited by the computation of sufficiently high multipole

Over the years, cockpit noise levels in military aircraft have been steadily increasing, particularly in fast jets. As the noise
levels increase, greater levels of personal hearing protection are required to keep aircrew noise dose within legislative levels
and speech and non-speech signal communications intelligible during front line operations. If the predictions of noise levels
in the next generation of fast jets are confirmed, then even more effective mitigation techniques will be needed. This paper
outlines the problem areas in the military cockpit including the contribution cockpit noise and electrical communications make
to aircrew noise dose and the benefits offered by newer personal protection technologies such as Active Noise Reduction.
Results of both experimental trials and in-service operational trials are presented.

In recent years emphasis has been placed on the early detection of material changes experienced in turbine powerplant
components. During the scheduled overhaul of a turbine, the current techniques of examination of various hot section
components aim to find flaws such as cracks, wear, and erosion, as well as excessive deformations. Thus far, these localized
damage modes have been detected with satisfactory results. However, the techniques used to find these flaws provide no
information on life until the flaws are actually detected. Major improvements in damage assessment, safety, as well as more
accurate life prediction could be achieved if nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques could be utilized to sense material
changes that occur prior to the localized defects mentioned. Because of elevated temperatures and excessive stresses, turbine
components may experience creep behavior. As a result, it is desirable to monitor and access the current condition of such
components. Research at the NASA Glenn Research Center involves developing and utilizing an NDE technique that discloses
distributed material changes that occur prior to the localized damage detected by the current methods of inspection. In a recent
study, creep processes in a nickel-base alloy were the life-limiting condition of interest, and the NDE technique was
acousto-ultrasonics (AU). AU is an NDE technique that utilizes two ultrasonic transducers to interrogate the condition of a
test specimen. The sending transducer introduces an ultrasonic pulse at a point on the surface of the specimen while a receiving
transducer detects the signal after it has passed through the material. The goal of the method is to correlate certain parameters
of the detected waveform to characteristics of the material between the two transducers. Here, the waveform parameter of
interest is the attenuation due to internal damping for which information is being garnered from the frequency domain. The
402
parameters utilized to indirectly quantify the attenuation are the ultrasonic decay rate as well as various moments of the
frequency power spectrum. A new, user-friendly, graphical interface AU system was developed at NASA Glenn. This system
is an all-inclusive, multifunction system that controls the sending and receiving ultrasonic transducers as well as all posttest
signal analysis. The system’s postprocessing software calculates the multiple parameters used to study the material of interest.

Imagine a mechanical part that can tell when it is worn out. Or an I ink that is impossible to counterfeit. Or an infrared
paint that can help to distinguish friends from enemies using night-vision equipment. These seemingly unconnected
applications all are enabled by the use of quantum dots, nanocrystals of semiconductor material with tunable optical properties.
Because of recent advances in the manufacturing technology used to produce the dots, the market for the dots seems poised
to explode. Companies now can make larger quantities of quantum dots using wet chemistry rather than traditional
semiconductor processes such as molecular beam epitaxy or chemical vapor deposition. Called colloidal nanocrystals, the
materials are supplied in a liquid suspension or dispersed in plastic composite form. They can be processed from organic or
aqueous solution onto substrates that are rigid or flexible, smooth or rough, flat or curved, inorganic or organic. As a result
of this adaptability, the quantum dot market is experiencing growth. Among the first-generation products emerging today are
quantum dot bioconjugates, which in two years have already made an impact in the life sciences and biomedical areas. Market
research company Business Communications Co. Inc. of Norwalk, Conn., estimates current sales of quantum dots to be worth
$10 million. By 2009, it forecasts that the market will be approximately $550 million.

Approximately 16 million Americans have diabetes mellitus, which can severely impair eyesight by causing cataracts,
diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. Cataracts are 1.6 times more common in people with diabetes than in those without
diabetes, and cataract extraction is the only surgical treatment. In many cases, diabetes-related ocular pathologies go
undiagnosed until visual function is compromised. This ongoing pilot project seeks to study the progression of diabetes in a
unique animal model by monitoring changes in the lens with a safe, sensitive, dynamic light-scattering probe. Dynamic light
scattering (DLS), has the potential to diagnose cataracts at the molecular level. Recently, a new DLS fiber-optic probe was
developed at the NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field for noncontact, accurate, and extremely sensitive particle-sizing
measurements in fluid dispersions and suspensions (ref. 1). This compact, portable, and rugged probe is free of optical
alignment, offers point-and-shoot operation for various online field applications and challenging environments, and yet is
extremely flexible in regards to sample container sizes, materials, and shapes. No external vibration isolation and no index
matching are required. It can measure particles as small as 1 nm and as large as few micrometers in a wide concentration range
from very dilute (waterlike) dispersions to very turbid (milklike) suspensions. It is safe and fast to use, since it only requires
very low laser power (10 nW to 3 mW) with very short data acquisition times (2 to 10 sec).

The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Sensors Directorate has constructed and tested a coherent Light Detection
And Ranging (LIDAR) imaging system called Laservision. Registration of individual images remains a significant problem
in the generation of useful images collected using coherent imaging systems. Coherent images typically contain significant
speckle noise created by the coherency of the laser. Each image collected by the system must be properly registered to allow
for averaging the images to produce a single image with adequate resolution to allow detection and identification algorithms
to operate accurately or for system operators to perform target detection and identification within a scene. An investigation
of the performance of a new image registration algorithm designed using aser speckle noise statistics is conducted on data
collected from the Laservision system. This thesis documents the design and performance of the proposed technique compared
to that of a standard cross-correlation algorithm. Based on sing only speckle noise statistics, the simulated data test results
indicate that there is a small range of low average ignal-to-noise ratios (SNR) where there is the potential to improve the shift
estimation error by 0.1 to 0.16 pixels.

paints. These paints are excited with short wavelength light and emit light at a longer wavelength. By measuring the change
of intensity of the emitted light from a known reference condition, researchers can determine the pressure or temperature. The
technique of measuring full-field surface pressure and temperatures using luminescent coatings has required a direct
line-of-sight from the camera to the surface under study. In most experiments that have used pressure-or temperature-sensitive
paints, the test surfaces are mounted so it is straightforward to position the camera and excitation source. In other cases, the
luxury of having optical access through a window is not available or even possible. We developed a borescope imaging system
to gain optical access in these confined areas. The commercially available 10-mm-diameter rigid borescope contains relay
optics to transmit the detected light to a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera as well as an internal fiber-optic light guide to
provide the excitation source for the luminescent coatings. The coupled light source can be continuous for the intensity method
but also can be pulsed or have a variable intensity for a newer method of acquisition that measures the decay or phase lag of
the emitted light. This type of borescope focuses the image directly on the CCD chip without using a fiber-optic relay,
eliminating unwanted honeycomb patterns that are typical of fiber-optic type borescopes. This produces images of much
higher clarity and uniformity, which are critical for acquiring accurate measurements from the luminescent coatings.

In the last few years superconducting radio-frequency cavities made of high purity (RRR\g200) niobium achieved
accelerating gradients close to the theoretical limits. An obstacle towards reproducibly achieve higher fields is represented by
some anomalous losses causing a sharp degradation of the cavity quality factor when the peak surface magnetic field is above
about 90 mT, in the absence of field emission. This effect, called Q-drop has been measured in many laboratories on single-
and multi-cell cavities mainly in the gigahertz range. In order to gain some understanding of the nature of these losses, a
CEBAF single cell cavity has been tested in the TM010 and TE011 modes at 2 K. The feature of the TE011 mode is to have
zero electric field on the cavity surface, allowing to exclude any electric field effect on the Q-drop. This paper will present
some of the experimental results for different cavity treatments and will compare them with existing models for the Q-drop.

Transverse Structure of Strong Interactions at LHC: From Diffraction to New Particle Production
Frankfurt, L.; Strikman, M.; Weiss, C.; Zhalov, M.; January 2004; 16 pp.; In English
Report No.(s): DE2005-835126; No Copyright; Avail: Department of Energy Information Bridge
We discuss the global structure of pp events at LHC with hard processes (particle production in two-parton collisions) on
the basis of the transverse spatial characteristics of the partonic initial state. Studies of hard exclusive processes in ep scattering
have shown that the transverse area occupied by partons with x glt 10(sup -2) is much smaller than the size of the nucleon
as it appears in generic inelastic pp collisions at high energies (two-scale picture). We show that this is consistent with the
observation that the elastic pp amplitude at the Tevatron energy is close to the black body limit at small impact parameters.
Our picture implies that inclusive heavy particle production (Higgs, SUSY) happens only in central pp collisions. At LHC
energies, the final state characteristics of such events are strongly influenced by the approach to the black body limit, and thus
may differ substantially from what one expects based on the extrapolation of Tevatron results. Our two-scale picture also
allows us to analyze several types of hard diffractive processes observable at LHC: (1) Diffractive proton dissociation into
three jets, which probes small-size configurations in the proton wave function; (2) exclusive diffractive Higgs production, in
which we estimate the rapidity gap survival probability; (3) inclusive diffractive processes.

The perovskite composition, BaCe(sub 0.85)Y(sub 0.15)O(sub 3-delta), displays excellent protonic conduction at high
temperatures making it a desirable candidate for hydrogen separation membranes. This paper reports on the sintering behavior
of BaCe(sub 0.85)Y(sub 0.15)O(sub 3-delta) powders doped with SrTiO3. Two methods were used to synthesize BaCe(sub
0.85)Y(sub 0.15)O(sub 3-delta) powders: (1) solid state reaction and (2) wet chemical co-precipitation. Co-precipitated
powder crystallized into the perovskite phase at 1000 C for 4 hrs. Complete reaction and crystallization of the perovskite phase
by solid state was achieved by calcining at 1200 C for 24 hrs. Solid state synthesis produced a coarser powder with an average
particle size of 1.3 microns and surface area of 0.74 sq m/g. Co-precipitation produced a finer powder with a average particle
size of 65 nm and surface area of 14.9 sq m/g. Powders were doped with 1, 2, 5, and 10 mole % SrTiO3. Samples were sintered
at 1450 C, 1550 C and 1650 C. SrTiO3 enhances sintering, optimal dopant level is different for powders synthesized by solid
state and co-precipitation. Both powders exhibit similar grain growth behavior. Dopant levels of 5 and 10 mole % SrTiO3
significantly enhances the grain size.

Multicomponent hydrodynamics calculations require thermodynamic state relations for material mixtures. Unfortunately,
it is rarely feasible to construct accurate state relations for multicomponent atomic mixtures of interacting materials, and even
less feasible to employ them in practice. In lieu of this, it is necessary to approximate the state relations of the mixture in terms
of those of the pure materials of which it is composed. The question then arises of how to construct the best or most accurate
approximations of this type.

their work can be done. So they give it their best, but something always seems to come up ...‘I tried, but you know how it
is.’ This form of project management does not provide a mechanism to ensure that what should be done, can in fact be done
at the required moment. Too often, promises reliable promise. made in coordination meetings are conditional and unreliable.
It has been my experience that at times trust can be low and hard to build in this environment. The absence of reliable promises
explains why on well-run projects, people are often only completing 30-50 percent of the deliverables they d promised for the
week. We all know what a promise is; we have plenty of experience making them and receiving them from others. So what
s the problem? The sad fact is that the project environment-like many other work environments- is often so filled with systemic
dishonesty, that we don t expect promises that are reliable. Project managers excel when they manage their projects as
networks of commitments and help their people learn to elicit and make reliable promises.

NATO is in the process of radical change through the NATO Transformation process and the development of new military
requirements without neglected the existing ones. From a broad NATO perspective, the emphasis is on collaborative efforts
to improve joint, combined capabilities. Two strategic commands, one operational (Allied Command Operations, ACO,
located in Brussels, Belgium), and one functional (Allied Command Transformation, ACT, located in Norfolk, Virginia, USA)
have been recently established. The second, functional strategic command ACT is responsible for the continuing
transformation of military capabilities and for promoting interoperability of proposed implementations. Modelling and
Simulation (M&S) has been recognized within NATO as a key element in addressing these new requirements and challenges
of the NATO Transformation process. This year s conference was planned to focus on the ways in which Modelling and
Simulation can address these new requirements and challenges and assist in the NATO Transformation process without
neglecting the existing military requirements. To this end, the conference was designed to provide attendees a forum to
advance M&S in the Alliance. The combination of M&S users and developers concentrated in this one forum educated
attendees, and also provided fresh ideas for the furtherance of NATO M&S in addressing NATO s New and Existing Military
Requirements.

Specific to the application of any technology to a vehicle, such as circulation control, it is important to understand the
process that NASA is using to set its direction in research and development. To see how circulation control fits into any given
NASA program requires the reader to understand NASA’s Vehicle Systems (VS) Program. The VS Program recently
celebrated its first year of existence with an annual review - an opportunity to look back on accomplishments, solicit feedback,
expand national advocacy and support for the program, and recognize key contributions. Since its formation last year, Vehicle
Systems has coordinated seven existing entities in a streamlined aeronautics research effort. It invests in vehicle technologies
to protect the environment, make air travel more accessible and affordable for Americans, enable exploration through new
aerospace missions, and augment national security. This past year has seen a series of valuable partnerships with industry,
academia, and government agencies to make crucial aeronautics advances and assure America s future in flight.

IN MANY INSTANCES THERE IS NO FOREWARNING; SCHEDULES slip, costs soar, and the project manager is
faced with the near impossible task of explaining why each impact occurred. With contractors performing the majority of the
work, the management job can become even more obscure. The simple lack of proximity to the contractor can limit effective
communication. Add to that a mixture of cultural differences and a desire for the contractor to portray the most optimistic view
of their performance, and you create an even more difficult task for the project manager. This was the scenario when the
Habitat Holding Rack (HHR) manager at Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), Stacy Counts, was introduced to the overall
concept of Earned Value Management (EVM). Faced with increased costs (which eventually resulted in decreased scope of
the project), continued schedule slides, and several technical anomalies, she was looking for a way to gain a better handle on
the project performance. As a component of the Space Station Biological Research Program (SSBRP), the HHR project is an
integral piece of the Program content. The HHR is the first rack hardware to be delivered for the Program and has therefore
been the first rack to move through the trials of test and verification-documenting anomalies and technical difficulties that will
benefit the other SSBRP rack projects. For these reasons, the HHR maintained high visibility throughout the manufacturing
and assembly process, continuing through test and verification activities. Needless to say, the higher visibility emphasized the
need for improved performance on this project. And to improve project performance, Stacy first had to figure out how to
measure the cost, schedule and technical objectives effectively.

This paper covers issues relating to the establishment of a sound and conditional probability-compatible rationale for
generating linguistic-based inference rules concerning a population. By extending previous preliminary results, the authors
detail, in a fully rigorous manner and within the confines of traditional probability theory, that a comprehensive technique can
be derived that converts linguistic-based conditional information, couched only in fuzzy-logic terms, into naturally
425
corresponding conditional probabilities. In turn, they demonstrate how such typically underconstrained conditional
probabilities can be combined for suitable conclusions and decision making, via a new use of second-order probability logic.

Objectives: The transfer of medication information across patient care settings is an important care process handoff with
major potential for adverse medical events. This paper reports the results of a recently completed AHRQ project, IDS
Solutions for Medication Information Transfer Across Patient Care Settings. A primary objective of this research was to
enhance understanding of how patient handoffs are related to risk of adverse medical events before and after implementation
of an information technology solution. Methods: A series of key informant interviews with relevant staff was systematically
conducted at two hospital facilities to understand the medication information transfer process. This led to an informed pre-
and post-evaluation of an implemented information technology (IT) solution. Results: Based on thematic analysis of
qualitative data, we identified information barriers due to work processes, role definitions, and individual discretion.
Underlying these barriers are more basic technical, structural, and cultural challenges that affect the ability of IT to solve the
problems inherent in handoffs across diverse settings. Conclusions: Results from this study can be used to inform future
research, drive targeted quality improvement interventions and process redesign, and underscore the need to coordinate care
across patient care settings to improve patient safety.

New York State has had a mandatory incident reporting system in place since 1985. The current system, the New York
Patient Occurrence Reporting and Tracking System (NYPORTS), was implemented in 1998 pursuant to New York State Public
Health Law Section 2805-1, Incident Reporting. NYPORTS is a secure Web-based system that simplifies reporting,
coordinates with other reporting systems, and allows hospitals to obtain feedback on their own reporting patterns. The authors
review the evolution and implementation of NYPORTS and its predecessors, the Hospital Incident Reporting System and the
Patient Event Tracking System. Discussion and data comparisons are made between the Joint Commission on Accreditation
of Healthcare Organizations voluntary sentinel event reporting system and NYPORTS. Critical elements for success of a
mandatory incident reporting system include collaborative system design; basing the system on statute, with clear definitions
and objective reporting criteria; providing meaningful data that can be analyzed and disseminated for improving patient safety;
and adequate resources to maintain the system. Innovative program features may be of interest to other States implementing

Integrating Natural Language and Gesture in a Robotics Domain

Human-computer interfaces facilitate communication, assist in the exchange of information, process commands and
controls, among many additional interactions. For our work in the robotics domain, we have concentrated on integrating
spoken natural language and natural gesture for command and control of a semiautonomous mobile robot. We have assumed
that both spoken natural language and natural gesture are more user-friendly means of interacting with a mobile robot, and
from the human standpoint, such interactions are easier, given that the human is not required to learn additional interactions,
but can rely on ‘natural’ ways of communication. So-called ‘synthetic’ methods, such as data gloves, require additional
learning; however, this is not the case with natural language and natural gesture. We, therefore, rely on what is natural to both
spoken language when it is used in conjunction with natural gestures for giving commands. Furthermore, we have been
integrating these interactions with the robotics components as the robotics system is being developed. The interface is not
treated as an ad hoc add-on or patch. By doing so, we believe the interface will be more robust and because it is being
integrated during system development, we hope to achieve a more seamless interface, one which both acts and feels as an
integral part of the robotics application. In this paper, we will discuss the kinds of interactions which our system is currently
capable of performing. We will also discuss the processing of the various input to produce an appropriate robotic response.
And finally, we will discuss what future kinds of interactions we would like to incorporate into the system, and what will be
required to achieve these results.

economy, and society are in a transition period resulting in institutional and philosophical instability. Russian mass
consciousness, according to many prominent scientists and government officials, is vulnerable to manipulation by slick
marketing campaigns and to exploitation by promises of economic and social prosperity during this transition period. As a
consequence the Russian specialists approach to information threats places strong emphasis on what it terms information-
psychological processes as well as state laws to guarantee the information security of individuals and society. A second reason
for a dissimilarity in emphasis is that traditional Russian military thinking developed differently than in the West due to
geographical considerations, varied military threats, the economic realities imposed by a different ideological background, and
the emphasis placed on the study of military affairs as a science. The Russian study of the impact of the use of information
weapons on military art will differ in emphasis from the Western assessment due to this prism through which these operations
are viewed and measured, a reflection of the military’s traditional thought process.

The U.S. Army Research Laboratory’s Human Research and Engineering Directorate has relied on the use of human
performance models to assess the effectiveness of command and control (C2) organizational designs for nearly a decade. This
work was based on task network modeling in various versions of MicroSaint (developed by Micro Analysis and Design) as
the key methodology. The models have been based on representations of C2 tasks and functions performed by a group of
people engaged in various military missions, within conceptual and actual military organizational designs, and using various
types of communication and information technologies. These organizations have ranged in size from battalion to brigade level,
with the inclusion of message flow from companies to a division staff. This report briefly describes these MicroSaint models
and how they led to the development of a modeling environment called command, control, and communications - techniques
for the reliable assessment of concept execution (C3TRACE). Thus, models can be rapidly constructed with C3TRACE to
analyze multiple organizational, personnel, and systems architectures as they emerge through concept exploration for the
Army Future Force.

because property ownership did not influence political actors in foreign countries, but rather because such intelligence could
rarely be had. Even when U.S. decision-makers recognized the potential benefits of knowing who owned what in foreign
countries, the intelligence challenge was generally insurmountable, at least beyond immediate and anecdotal investigation.
Today, property data can be obtained, organized, analyzed and presented in ways that support foreign policy and strategy. A
convergence of new technologies, including global positioning satellites, and expanding technical protocols, such as the
National Spatial Data Infrastructure, makes provision of property intelligence practicable. The implication for the intelligence
community is compelling: Property ownership intelligence should figure along with economic, political, social and military
intelligence as part of the suite of product types regularly provided by the intelligence community.

possibly access command & control systems and other weapon systems. This research provides insight into the current &
future information initiatives dealing with the Air Force’s medical field and the Department of Defense’s approach to system
security. This research additionally looks at the laws and regulations dealing with privacy and ethical issues. This purview
starts with the recently enacted Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability ACT (HIPPA), and concludes with the
Laws of Armed Conflict. The research questions were answered through the use of a Case Study and a comprehensive
literature review. The medical and network support teams from two Air Force medical facilities were the basis of this study.

The Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG) operates the Regional IGS Data Center for Europe since the
beginning of the IGS Test Campaign in June 21, 1992. GPS tracking data from permanent GPS sites in Europe are obtained
from Operational Data Centers (ODC s), Local Data Centers (LDC s), or directly from the stations. Also tracking data from
stations outside of Europe are transferred to BKG, if a European institution operates these stations. The received data are
uploaded to the Global Data Centers (GDCs), and are also made available to other users. BKG holds the data files from
different projects in separate directories in order to handle the project related restrictions, e.g., the project specific user access.
A project independent access is additionally realized through a list of all stations and links to the corresponding subdirectories.
The operability of the data center is continuously adapted to meet newest requirements. In 2002 the data center was further
development through the cooperation with the IGS Data Center Working Group, the preparation of the participation in GSAC,
and the design

Years 2001 and 2002 have seen a major increase in the number of continuous GPS (CGPS) stations in New Zealand. This
is due to a Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) project (PositioNZ) that has seen 12 new CGPS stations installed in the
North Island by GNS. During 2003 and 2004, GNS will install a similar density of sites in the South Island, as well as few
additional ones in the North Island. In addition to the LINZ project, some 80 continuous sites will be installed over the next
5 years as part of the GeoNet project operated by GNS and funded primarily by the New Zealand Earthquake Commission
(EQC). These stations will be sited to provide detailed measurements of tectonic deformation related to the Hikurangi
subduction zone, and volcanic/tectonic deformation within the Central Volcanic Region.

USNO contributed rapid, ultra-rapid and tropospheric products to the IGS during 2002. The development of a new way
to assign weights to satellite orbits, combining the orbits produced from different approaches, and the introduction of multiple
data arc processing to the estimated part of the ultra-rapid solutions were major activities during 2002. The acquisition of a
new HP Unix workstation allowed USNO to upgrade to GIPSY/OASIS 2.6, and increase the number of sites processed in both

activities could be conducted via use of the WCP. Participating US and German military users agreed that the Experiment 1a
had successfully demonstrated the linking of real C2 and M&S systems and opening the potential for future use of real-world
Warfighter C2 systems in simulation-based training exercises. The SINCE Operational Experiment 1B was conducted during
12 through 23 July 04 at the 35th ID Combat Training Center (CTC) Facilities located near Ft. Leavenworth KS. A slightly
enhanced and reconfigured version of the SINCE Experiment 1a environment was implemented to support this experiment.
In this paper we will present more details on the technical environment implemented to support these recent experiments and
also discuss the lessons learned associated with their conduct. These SINCE experiments followed, adopted and adapted a
code of best practice approach for experimentation. The compromises and trade-offs made to establish a balance between (a)
development of an infrastructure that supports both the current and future planned experiments, compared with (b) just
implementing an experimental configuration used for conduct of a specific experiment, will be discussed. An integral part of
the solution was the establishment of the methodology by which the various information architectures would be harmonized
within federations and across federations. Additionally some insights into the operational lessons learned from the conduct of
these experiments will also be presented and discussed. The innovative technical and operational interoperability capabilities
that SINCE is implementing and demonstrating represent a significant step forward in coupling Warfighter C2 systems and
combat simulation systems. SINCE has demonstrated essential capabilities needed to support simulation-based coalition force
military training, and mission rehearsal activities, thereby enabling users to train with the same C2 systems they fight with.

A study is made of fifty-eight records of naked eye observations of occultations of the planets by the Moon chosen from
the Chinese dynastic histories. These records cover the period from 68 B.C. to 575 A.D. Fifty-three of these records fall in
the time period between 100 A.D. and 575 A.D., a period with no other known observations useful for Earth rotation studies.
The observations are compared to topocentric ephemerides computed using Bretagnon’s planetary theories VSOP82 and the
Chapront-Touze lunar theory ELP2000-85. The area of the Earth from which an individual lunar occultation is observable is
too large to produce a useful value of the acceleration parameter, C (Cr2=ET-UT) , from untimed occultation records.
However, the entire series of observation records produces a weak estimate for the value of C (12.6 s cy-2 to 35.7 s cy-2) .
The uncertainty in C is difficult to estimate. Overall, the check on the change in the rotation rate is very weak, but it represents
the limit of what can be done with known, untimed occultation records.

which are not significantly contaminated by the ISM. A comparison of the M31 spectrum with other galaxies observed by FEE
showed a surprising result: the hot stars in M31 seem to have a similar carbon abundance to those stars in galaxies with much
brighter UV emission. The fraction of these hot stars in a population should be a strong function of chemical abundances, so
this finding warrants further exploration, and we are proceeding with our analysis. Because the UV emission in these galaxies
comes from a population of extreme horizontal branch stars, the PI (Brown) presented this result at a June 2003 conference
on such stars.

The Nature of the Flaring EUVE Companion to HD 43162

The purpose of our program was to observe and characterize the companion to HD 43162, EUVE J0614-2354, which
(serendipitously) experienced an enormous flare event during our EUVE observation of HD 43162, one of the nearby solar
analogs that we observed during our survey of this population. Our observation was carried out and the data have been
received and reduced. We are able to identify EUVE J0614-2354 in both the X-ray (EPIC MOS + PN) and the UV (OM) data,
which provides a sub-arcsecond position for this source. Our findings are consistent with the analysis of Christian et al.
(2003a,b), who identify EUVE J0614-2354 with a coronally-active M-dwarf star at distance d = 15 plus or minus 5pc. The
X-ray spectrum from the EPIC data are also consistent with this identification.

Age Dating Merger Events in Early Type Galaxies via the Detection of AGB Light
Bothun, G.; [2005]; 7 pp.; In English
Contract(s)/Grant(s): NAG5-13077; No Copyright; Avail: CASI; A02, Hardcopy
A thorough statistical analysis of the J-H vs. H-K color plane of all detected early type galaxies in the 2MASS catalog
with velocities less than 5000 km/s has been performed. This all sky survey is not sensitive to one particular galactic
environment and therefore a representative range of early type galaxy environments have been sampled. Virtually all N-body
simulation so major mergers produces a central starburst due to rapid collection of gas. This central starburst is of sufficient
amplitude to change the stellar population in the central regions of the galaxy. Intermediate age populations are given away
by the presence of AGB stars which will drive the central colors redder in H-K relative to the J- H baseline. This color anomaly
has a lifetime of 2-5 billion years depending on the amplitude of the initial starburst Employing this technique on the entire
2MASS sample (several hundred galaxies) reveals that the AGB signature occurs less than 1% of the time. This is a
straightforward indication that virtually all nearby early type galaxies have not had a major merger occur within the last few
billion years.

principal insufficiency of Stockwell’s solution is the large error in the period of the principal inequalities of the eccentricities
and perihelia of Jupiter and Saturn. The only complete treatment of the problem made after Stockwell was that by P. Harzer
in 1895. We have followed Harzer’s method to a large extent. Unfortunately, the later sections of Harzer’s work were seriously
affected by an error that he himself discovered. In a sense, therefore, the present solution is a revision of Harzer’s work. The
authors are well aware of the mathematical limitations of the classical theory of the secular variations. Nevertheless, they are
convinced that the theory, even with these limitations, has considerable value in the study of planetary motions.

considerations of parameters that influence the linear growth rate of the generalized Rayleigh-Taylor instability in the context
of finite windows of opportunity available during the prereversal enhancement near sunset. These parameters are the strength
of the equatorial magnetic field, B(sub eq), and the angle, alpha, it makes with the dusk terminator line. The independence
of alpha and B(sub eq) from the solar cycle phase justifies the comparisons.

Adaptive optics (AO) has found widespread use in astronomical settings to compensate for atmospheric turbulence and
telescope aberrations. At the W. M. Keck Observatory, there are identical adaptive optics systems on the Keck I and Keck II
telescopes. In previous work, we described the components and the performance of the Keck AO system. This paper is a
continuation of this characterization eort. In this paper, we focus on the problem of estimating the bandwidth and measurement
noise errors. This is important because during an AO observation these are the only two terms that can be optimized to improve
the performance.

Mars Array Technology Experiment Developed to Test Solar Arrays on Mars

Solar arrays will be the power supply for future missions to the planet Mars, including landers, rovers, and eventually
human missions to explore the Martian surface. Until Mars Pathfinder landed in July 1997, no solar array had been used on
the surface. The MATE package is intended to measure the solar energy reaching the surface, characterize the Martian
environment to gather the baseline information required for designing power systems for long-duration missions, and to
quantify the performance and degradation of advanced solar cells on the Martian surface. To measure the properties of sunlight
reaching the Martian surface, MATE incorporates two radiometers and a visible/NIR spectrometer. The radiometers consist
of multiple thermocouple junctions using thin-film technology. These devices generate a voltage proportional to the solar
intensity. One radiometer measures the global broadband solar intensity, including both the direct and scattered sunlight, with
a field of view of approximately 130. The second radiometer incorporates a slit to measure the direct (unscattered) intensity
radiation. The direct radiometer can only be read once per day, with the Sun passing over the slit. The spectrometer measures
the global solar spectrum with two 256-element photodiode arrays, one Si sensitive in the visible range (300 to 1100 nm), and
a second InGaAs sensitive to the near infrared (900 to 1700 nm). This range covers 86 percent of the total energy from the
Sun, with approximately 5-nm resolution. Each photodiode array has its own fiber-optic feed and grating. Although the
purpose of the MATE is to gather data useful in designing solar arrays for Mars surface power systems, the radiometer and
spectrometer measurements are expected to also provide important scientific data for characterizing the properties of
suspended atmospheric dust. In addition to measuring the solar environment of Mars, MATE will measure the performance
of five different individual solar cell types and two different solar cell strings, to qualify advanced solar cell types for future
Mars missions. The MATE instrument, designed for the Mars-2001 Surveyor Lander mission, contains a capable suite of
sensors that will provide both scientific information as well as important engineering data on the operation of solar power
systems on Mars. MATE will characterize the intensity and spectrum of the solar radiation on Mars and measure the
performance of solar arrays in the Mars environment. MATE flight hardware was built and tested at the NASA Glenn Research
Center and is ready for flight.

Mars is an exciting target for the human exploration; the next destination toward the ultimate human colonization of the
solar system. But the price of proposed missions to Mars is a daunting barrier. Expensive missions make it a slow and difficult
process to achieve the political consensus to make a commitment to exploration. In today’s deficit-conscious era (and what
era is not?), it is as difficult-- perhaps impossible-- task to justify to a skeptical and cost-conscious public the need to invest
in exploration. It seems far too easy to postpone exploration into a future that never seems to arrive. It would be terrific to
explore Mars in small steps, where each step makes progress toward human exploration and settlement, and each step also
is not only exciting to the public, but also justifiable on its own scientific merits.

Solar activity and its most prominent aspect, the solar flares, have considerable influence on terrestrial and space weather.
Solar flares also provide a suitable laboratory for the investigation of many plasma and high energy processes important in
the magnetosphere of the Earth and many other space and astrophysical situations. Hence, progress in understanding of flares
will have considerable scientific and societal impact. The primary goal of this grant is the understanding of two of the most
important problems of solar flare physics, namely the determination of the energy release mechanism and how this energy
accelerates particles. This is done through comparison of the observations with theoretical models, starting from observations
and gradually proceeding to theoretically more complex situations as the lower foundations of our understanding are secured.
It is generally agreed that the source of the flare energy is the annihilation of magnetic fields by the reconnection process.
Exactly how this energy is released or how it is dissipated remains controversial. Moreover, the exact mechanism of the
acceleration of the particles is still a matter of debate. Data from many spacecrafts and ground based instruments obtained over
the past decades have given us some clues. Theoretical analyses of these data have led to the standard thick target model (STT)
where most of the released energy goes into an (assumed) power law spectrum of accelerated particles, and where all the
observed radiations are the consequence of the interaction of these particles with the flare plasma. However, some theoretical
arguments, and more importantly some new observations, have led us to believe that the above picture is not complete. It
appears that plasma turbulence plays a more prominent role than suspected previously, and that it is the most likely agent for
accelerating particles. The model we have developed is based on production of a high level of plasma waves and turbulence
in the reconnection region above a flare loop. This turbulence accelerates particles stochastically which radiate some of their
energy in this region but carry most of their energy to the footpoints of the loop, where they lose all their energy and radiate
bulk of the observed radiation as in the traditional thick target model. In the past we have worked on various aspects of this
model. We have evaluated the interaction rates of the plasma waves with electrons and ions, developed theoretical frameworks
for the acceleration, transport and radiative processes, and produced numerical codes for the investigation of these processes.
The goal of this grant has been further development and testing of this new paradigm, with emphases on the relative
acceleration of electrons and ions and on a comprehensive investigation of the turbulence generation, cascade, and damping
processes. We review several pieces of important evidence that we have uncovered indicating the crucial roles of turbulence,
in and we describe accomplishments during the past two years of this grant.
