Description

The number of bald eagle nesting territories along Hood Canal in Washington State have increased from 3 known occupied territories in 1980 to 35 in 2000. Historically, the average productivity and success rate of eagles nesting in the Hood Canal territories was below the overall Washington State productivity and success rate, and they fluctuated dramatically. The Hood Canal eagle territories have, however, achieved an average of 0.96 young per occupied territory and success rate of 64.2 over the past 5 years. These levels are close to the recovery objectives in the Pacific Bald Eagle Recovery Plan. A study was initiated in 1992 to evaluate if contaminants were a possible cause of the lower productivity. In 1992 and 1993, fresh eggs were collected from eight Hood Canal bald eagle territories. Nests with a history of the highest failure rates were selected for sampling. Between 1994 and 1997, only addled eggs were collected from the Hood Canal area nests. Addled eggs were also collected from 5 bald eagle nesting territories outside the Hood Canal area for comparison. Total PCB concentrations measured in the eggs collected from the Hood Canal territories exceeded threshold levels identified for normal bald eagle reproduction. Concentrations of PCBs in bald eagle eggs from Hood Canal declined from 1992 to 1997. The total dioxinlike activity measured in the eggs of bald eagles was above the threshold for adverse effects on reproduction. Overall, the eggs collected from Hood Canal territories during 1992 and 1993 had higher total PCB concentrations and total dioxinlike potency than the other eggs collected for this study. Nonortho and monoortho planar PCBs measured in the bald eagle eggs accounted for the majority of the dioxinlike toxicity. Only two eggs collected during the study one from Hood Canal and one outside Hood Canal exceeded the reproductive threshold limit for p,pDDE. Concentrations of mercury, selenium and arsenic were below levels of concern in the five eggs where they were analyzed. Detectable levels of PCBs and p,pDDE were present in blood samples. Concentrations of PCBs and dioxinlike compounds measured in the fish and sediment samples from Hood Canal were not great enough to account for the elevated amounts found in bald eagles from this area. Our sample sizes for the evaluation of the source of PCBs and other dioxinlike contaminants found in bald eagles and their eggs were extremely small and definite conclusions cannot be made. However, our findings indicate that the contaminant pathway to the bald eagles in Hood Canal was likely from food items other than fish i.e. birds or marine mammals. At this time additional contaminant studies on the Hood Canal bald eagles are not planned; however, productivity monitoring needs to be continued. If the productivity levels begin to fluctuate dramatically, or if they are consistently lower than statewide values, we recommend reinitiating a contaminants study. Since PCBs accounted for the greatest proportion of the total dioxinlike potency in the eggs of bald eagles from Hood Canal, we recommend that measurement of total PCBs would be sufficient to track the greatest chemical threat identified to the Hood Canal eagles if a contaminants monitoring effort were to resume.

Description

Aircraft Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) programs are implemented by most of the aircraft operators. Vast amounts of FOQA data are distributed between many computers, organizations, and geographic locations. This project develops methodology for transforming such distributed data into actionable knowledge in application to aircraft health management from the vehicle level to the fleet level to the national level. The distributed data processing methodology provably obtains the same results as would be obtained if the data could be centralized. The data mining methods are efficient and scalable so that they can return results quickly for 10Tb of distributed data. This data mining technology that we call Distributed Fleet Monitoring (DFM) developed in SBIR Phase I satisfies these requirements. The data are transformed into models, trends, and anomalies. The model training and anomaly monitoring are formulated as convex optimization and decision problems. The optimization agents are distributed over networked computers and are integrated through remote connection interface in a scalable open grid computing framework. Though the data and the computations are distributed, they yield provably the same optimal solution that would be obtained by a centralized optimization. DFM feasibility was demonstrated in the problem of monitoring aircraft flight performance from fleet data using large realistic simulated datasets. We demonstrated efficient computation of quadratic optimal solution by interacting distributed agents. The feasibility demonstration successfully recovered aircraft performance anomalies that are well below the level of the natural variation in the data and are not directly visible. The algorithms are very efficient and scalable. Phase I demonstration extrapolates to processing 10Tb of raw FOQA data in under an hour to detect anomalous units, abnormal flights, and compute predictive trends.

Description

This map layer portrays 2002 and 2003 per capita personal income, annual number of full-time and part-time jobs, average wage per job in dollars, population, and per capita number of jobs for counties in the United States. Per capita personal income is calculated as the total personal income of the residents of a county divided by the resident population of the county. The Census Bureau's annual midyear population estimates were used in the computation. The average annual number of full-time and part-time jobs includes all jobs for which wages and salaries are paid, except jury and witness service and paid employment of prisoners. The jobs are counted at equal weight, and employees, sole proprietors, and active partners are all included. Unpaid family workers and volunteers are not included. Average wage per job is the wage and salary disbursements divided by the number of wage and salary jobs in the county. Wage and salary disbursements consist of the monetary remuneration of employees, including the compensation of corporate officers; commissions, tips, and bonuses; and receipts in kind, or pay-in-kind, such as the meals furnished to the employees of restaurants. It reflects the amount of payments disbursed, but not necessarily earned during the year. Per capita number of jobs is calculated as the average annual number of full-time and part-time jobs in a county divided by the resident population of the county. The Census Bureau's annual midyear population estimates were used in the computation. All dollar estimates are in current dollars, not adjusted for inflation. The information in this map layer comes from the Regional Economic Information System (REIS) that is distributed by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, http://www.bea.gov/. This is an updated version of the November 2004 map layer, distributed as Income and Employment in the United States, 2002.

Description

* Trajectory maps are produced using GNOME (General NOAA Operational Modeling Environment), which is an oil spill trajectory model developed by OR&R Emergency Response Division. The model predicts how wind, currents, and other processes might move and spread oil spilled on the water. Output from several hydrodynamic models are used for ocean currents within GNOME (these include operational models run by NOAA Office of Coastal Survey, the Naval Oceanographic Office, and the Naval Research Lab; and academic models run at University of South Florida and North Carolina State). NOAA National Weather Sevice provides a wind forecast for the spill region twice daily. The model is run multiple times with the different wind and current sources to produce the final trajectory map and to estimate the uncertainty associated with the prediction. * Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA) is a web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) tool that assists both emergency responders and environmental resource managers in dealing with incidents that may adversely impact the environment. ERMA integrates and synthesizes various real-time and static datasets into a single interactive map. ERMA is one tool to view Oil Trajectory Maps.

Description

The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The DFIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The file is georeferenced to earth's surface using the UTM projection and coordinate system. The specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000.

Description

The fall data represents a summary of beached oil concentration following the completion of all major spill treatment in 1989. Survey dates were from September 11, 1989 through November 3, 1989. The following description is from the published ADEC reports: Shorelines were individually walked by a field assessment team consisting of two or three persons. Inaccessible areas were surveyed by skiff; no oil was classified from the air. Each team used a computer generated map from 1:63,360 source material, showing a beach segment on a single page, typically enlarged to a scale of 1:10,000. Segment surveys were conducted primarily during low tide. In areas of light to very light oiling, the team had the option to perform the survey at a mid-tide level since the oil was almost always found along the high-tide swash line. During this survey additional information was also recorded on oil penetration, oil thickness, shoreline type, sediment type, location of photographs and sediment samples, quality of oil, location of oiling within the inter-tidal area, and fucus damage. Multi-Agency Spring 1990 Shoreline Oiling Survey The 1990 Spring Survey (SSAT) was conducted between March 23, 1990 and June 7, 1990. Surveys were conducted by representatives from the State of Alaska, US Coast Guard, local land owners, and Exxon Corporation. Typical crew size was six members. The survey was intended to include all areas of shoreline oiling. Exxon provided for the timely automation and delivery of these data.

Description

The Patient Assessment File (PAF) database compiles the results of the Patient Assessment Instrument (PAI) questionnaire filled out for intermediate care Veterans Health Administration (VHA) patients. The PAI is filled out within two weeks of admission. It is also completed semi-annually on April 1st and October 1st for each patient by a registered nurse familiar with the patient. The PAI questions cover medical treatments, conditions, selected diagnoses, activities of daily living, behaviors, some rehabilitation therapies, and chronic respiratory support. The database is managed by the Geriatrics & Extended Care Strategic Health Care Group in the Office of Patient Care Services. It is currently running at the Austin Information Technology Center (AITC) and is stored in flat files. PAF's primary customer is the Allocation Resource Center (ARC) in Braintree MA. The ARC receives the data from AITC and combines it with data from the Patient Treatment File (PTF) which contains more detailed demographic and treatment information. The ARC builds ORACLE tables, assigning RUG II (Resource Utilization Group II) scores and weighted work units reflecting the level and type of care needed. The 16 different weighted work units, ranging from 479 to 1800, are a factor in the resource allocation and budget decisions on long-term care, and are used to measure efficiency. The data is also used in other reports to Central Office, the Veterans Integrated Service Networks, and the facilities. Several other units also use PAF information including the Decision Support System (DSS). Currently, PAF is in the process of being replaced by the Resident Assessment Instrument/Minimum Data Set (RAI/MDS). RAI/MDS uses a much more extensive questionnaire as its source of information. The RAI/MDS provides clinical data and care protocols in addition to the newer RUG III scores, and is required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service funded hospitals.
