Welcome This is the inaugural issue of Building Bridges, a national newsletter to promotecollaborative activities between traffic safety and public health http://www.edc.org/buildingsafecommunities/buildbridges/bb1.1/welcome.html
Extractions: Volume I, Number 1 This is the inaugural issue of Building Bridges , a national newsletter to promote collaborative activities between traffic safety and public health professionals. Each issue will highlight the work of selected agencies and describe resources, research, and projects that promote traffic safety. Building Bridges is published by Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC) and funded by a grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In 1993, NHTSA conducted a nationwide assessment of motor vehicle injury prevention activities undertaken by highway safety and public health agencies. The respondents to this survey identified a need for a mechanism to share information about collaborative activities that involved traffic safety, public health, and other agencies. This need was also articulated by participants at the highway safety/public health workshop held at the 1993 Lifesavers Conference. This issue of Building Bridges will focus on regional activities in which public health and traffic safety professionals work together to share ideas, resources, and information. future issues will highlight activities involving other federal agencies including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), and the Indian Health Service (IHS). We hope that Building Bridges will assist professionals in public health and traffic safety to do their jobs more efficiently by drawing on the strength, ideas, and resources that collaboration can provide. If you are engaged in a project, have produced a publication, or are holding a conference or workshop that you feel would interest our readers, please let us know. We want to produce

Extractions: B. Parvin, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory This paper outlines the motivation, requirements, and architecture of a collaborative framework for distributed virtual microscopy. In this context, the requirements are specified in terms of (1) functionality, (2) scalability, (3) interactivity, and (4) safety and security. Functionality refers to what and how an instrument does something. Scalability refers to the number of instruments, vendor specific desktop workstations, analysis programs, and collaborators that can be accessed. Interactivity refers to how well the system can be steered either for static or dynamic experiments. Safety and security refers to safe operation of an instrument coupled with user authentication, privacy, and integrity of data communication. To meet these requirements, we introduce three types of services in the architecture: Instrument Services (IS), Exchange Services (ES), and Computational Services (CS). These services may reside on any host in the distributed system. The IS provide an abstraction for manipulating different types of microscopes; the ES provide common services that are required between different resources; and the CS provide analytical capabilities for data analysis and simulation. These services are brought together through CORBA and its enabling services, e.g., Event Services, Time Services, Naming Services, and Security Services.

Each country has developed unique capabilities and strengths over the years. It has been recognized that we can build on this combination of strengths by having an open exchange of information and by engaging in collaborative research. This approach will apply the best talents to the problems that must be addressed and it will maximize the benefits that can be derived from the available resources. Working together, the International Nuclear Safety Centers have initiated activities and collaborative research projects that address internationally-identified nuclear safety issues. The thrust of these projects is to use the resources and talents of the scientists associated with the centers to do research that will produce benefits for all participating countries. Web-based technologies are used to disseminate the results of the projects and other important information to the entire technical community. Some of the co-operative programs are: Support for Safety Assessment of VVERs Development of Comprehensive Websites on Centers activities Nuclear Safety Database Development Severe Accident Management Guidelines Project Validation of Three-Dimensional Structural Analysis Software and Models

About Us International The Office of Educational Technology is currently working on a number of international projects in conjunction with other divisions at the Department of Education. Below we have highlighted some of the OET's international projects. Friendship Through Education The Friendship Through Education initiative was launched by President Bush at Thurgood Marshall Elementary School in Washington, D.C. on October 25, 2001. Friendship Through Education is a consortium of non-governmental organizations and private groups committed to connecting children from different nations in an effort to bridge cultures and broaden understanding. One of the best ways to deter terrorism is through education and understanding. E-Language Project The E-Language Project was announced by President Bush at the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) forum in Shanghai in October 2001. The E-Language Project will address problems faced in many American schools that want to offer foreign language instruction but lack the teachers with the requisite foreign language skills. This system will also help schools with large immigrant populations needing English as a second language instruction, a major area of concern in the new No Child Left Behind Act.
Extractions: NREL's Industrial User Facility (IUF) is the center for collaborative activities with the wind industry. The building includes office space for industry researchers working with wind program technical staff, experimental laboratories, computer facilities for analytical work, and space for assembling components and turbines for atmospheric testing. The facility also houses control rooms, a high bay, and several smaller test bays. Two testing areas are equipped with stands. One test stand is rated at 1 million foot-pounds capacity; the other at 4 million foot-pounds capacity. Each area is also equipped with an overhead crane for applying loads to the blade during static-strength testing and closed-loop servo-hydraulic systems for fatigue testing. The servo-hydraulic systems can vary the amplitude of loads on the blades, deflect blades, and change the frequency and location of loading. The system is used to perform certification testing for blade design standards. The bullet-proof windows of the high bay's control rooms assure worker safety in the extreme-load environment. Blade fatigue testing at the Industrial User Facility hydraulically flexes blades up and down and back-and-forth to simulate wind loads on the blades. These accelerated wear tests show structural weaknesses in blades and help lower their cost.

Efficiency Vermont is the state's energy efficiency utility, providing customers with a single point of contact for the coordinated delivery of energy conservation services and advice. The legislature, Public Service Department, Public Service Board, CVPS and others all worked to create this efficiency utility to replace the old system whereby each of the Vermont's 22 utilities provided these services within their respective service territories. The work of Efficiency Vermont is paid for through a wires charge, dubbed the "Energy Efficiency Charge" or "EEC," clearly itemized on customers' bills. The initial focus of Efficiency Vermont will be to concentrate on four areas: new construction projects, farms, major remodeling projects and low-income consumers.

Extractions: Home Announcement Programme Registration Form ... Service Centre Since 1995, the AMAA has been offering innovators the opportunity to meet with system suppliers and car manufacturers. AMAA is a marketplace for competing technologies. At the present time, 23 solutions for increasing reliability, pressure sensing, power train and for obstacle detection were presented. Obstacle detection , being the basis for functions like driver warnings, advanced cruise control, automatic stop and go and precrash detection, was introduced by 7 presentations and 3 concept cars. Mr. Goernig (Conti Temic) discussed several technologies for reaching true 360¡ sensing. Among them, the PMD solution (Photonic Mixing Device), introduced at AMAA 2000 as a technology, could already be shown as an integrated passenger Out of Position detection system. PMD, delivering two-dimensional picture and distance information to each pixel within one device, is a promising solution towards affordable sensors. Other interesting contributions included the introduction of the EC CARSENSE project (dealing with a set of sensors), an electronic scanning antenna (BAE), an uncooled infrared system (Raytheon), a laser scanner (IBEO) and MOEMS (Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems, FhG IZM) having the potential for scanning the near field. A major concern is reliability . Sensors working for safety features and leading to functions controlling at least parts of the driving, need highest quality. On the other hand, reliability in the automotive environment with temperatures up to 125¡C and aggressive media is an important cost issue. Mr. Lugert (Siemens VDO) said it was becoming more and more important to exactly know what level of reliability was wished and paid and to have models for delivering this demand. Packaging solutions (Eurasem, Emerson and Cuming) and contactless sensors (Siemens VDO) can help to reach the targets.
