The purpose of the TSA Staffing Model is for the migration of workforce planning, analysis, and reporting system. The system creates airport staff modeling and workforce demands requirements. A resource modeling application used to analyze flight data and maximize resource allocation at airport checkpoints. TSA Staffing Model contains data about Workforce planning, employee and person information, and scheduling information. The data is collected from the Master Flight schedule and baseline data about airports (terminals, concourse, etc.). The data is then modified through an experiment and analyzed to determine the appropriate resources needed for various scenarios.

The Office of Coast Survey (OCS) has been involved in the development of a NOAA Electronic Navigational Chart (NOAA ENC) suite to support the marine transportation infrastructure and coastal management for a number of years. The NOAA ENC will support all types of marine navigation by providing the official database for electronic charting systems (ECS), including the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS). NOAA ENCs support real-time navigation as well as collision and grounding avoidance needs of the mariner, and accommodate a real-time tide and current display capability that is essential for large vessel navigation. NOAA ENCs will also provide fully integrated vector base maps for use in geographic information systems (GIS) that are used for coastal management or other purposes. The NOAA ENCs are in the International Hydrographic Office (IHO) S-57 international exchange format and comply with the ENC Product Specification.

Sandy ocean beaches are a popular recreational destination, often surrounded by communities containing valuable real estate. Development is on the rise despite the fact that coastal infrastructure is subjected to flooding and erosion. As a result, there is an increased demand for accurate information regarding past and present shoreline changes. To meet these national needs, the Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is compiling existing reliable historical shoreline data along open-ocean sandy shores of the conterminous United States and parts of Alaska and Hawaii under the National Assessment of Shoreline Change project. There is no widely accepted standard for analyzing shoreline change. Existing shoreline data measurements and rate calculation methods vary from study to study and prevent combining results into state-wide or regional assessments. The impetus behind the National Assessment project was to develop a standardized method of measuring changes in shoreline position that is consistent from coast to coast. The goal was to facilitate the process of periodically and systematically updating the results in an internally consistent manner.

State-level data on all energy sources. Data include production, consumption, reserves, stocks, prices, imports, and exports. Data are collated from state-specific data reported elsewhere on the EIA website and are the most recent values available. The system provides data back from 1960. While some SEDS data series come directly from surveys conducted by EIA, many are estimated using other available information. These estimations are necessary for the compilation of "total energy" estimates. Users of the EIA API are required to obtain an API Key via this registration form: http://www.eia.gov/beta/api/register.cfm

<p>Corrosion is an extensive problem that impacts National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Department of Defense (DoD).  The deleterious effects of corrosion result in steep costs, asset down-time affecting mission readiness, and safety risks to personnel.  Consequently, it is vital to reduce corrosion costs and risks in a sustainable manner.</p><p>NASA and DoD have numerous structures and equipment that are fabricated from stainless steel.  The standard practice for protection of stainless steel is a process called passivation which removes free iron contamination from the surface and forms a metal oxide layer to prevent corrosion.  Typical passivation procedures call for the use of nitric acid which exhibits excellent corrosion performance; however, there are a number of environmental, worker safety, and operational issues associated with its use.</p><p>The longtime military specification (QQ-P-35C) for the passivation of stainless steel was cancelled in favor of newer specifications which allow for the use of citric acid in place of nitric acid.  Citric acid offers a variety of benefits that include increased safety for personnel, reduced environmental impact, and reduced operational cost.  There have been few studies, however, to determine whether citric acid is an acceptable alternative for NASA and DoD applications; therefore, NASA and DoD agreed to collaborate on an effort to validate citric acid as an acceptable passivating agent for stainless steel. </p>
