Candidate Formulary Development for Exploration Missions

An interdisciplinary team of clinician, pharmacist, and system engineer subject matter experts (SMEs) collaborated to match pharmaceutical resources to the medical conditions anticipated to occur during exploration class missions. This effort began by using a SME generated Exploration Medical Conditions List and the associated medical system capabilities necessary to treat them. Using the systems engineering software MagicDraw™ and knowledge of pharmaceutical use and efficacy in spaceflight, the team traced appropriate medications to the medical conditions. These traces were used to pilot the process for generating a candidate formulary for level of care 4 and level of care 5 medical systems. This presentation will discuss the collaborative efforts of the team as they developed the content, detail the challenges of utilizing systems engineering software to describe clinical resources, and provide an overview of how the candidate medication formulary for exploration class missions was developed. It will also discuss how the lessons learned from this pilot effort can be applied to streamline future work.

Mu2e Technical Design Report

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the Mu2e Collaboration, composed of about 155 scientists and engineers from 28 universities and laboratories around the world, have collaborated to create this technical design for a new facility to study charged lepton flavor violation using the existing Department of Energy investment in the Fermilab accelerator complex. Mu2e proposes to measure the ratio of the rate of the neutrinoless, coherent conversion of muons into electrons in the field of a nucleus, relative to the rate of ordinary muon capture on the nucleus. The conversion process is an example of charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV), a process that has never been observed experimentally. The significant motivation behind the search for muon-to-electron conversion is discussed in Chapter 3.

DOE Chair of Excellence Professorship in Environmental Disciplines

The United States (US) nuclear weapons program during the Cold War left a legacy of radioactive, hazardous, chemical wastes and facilities that may seriously harm the environment and people even today. Widespread public concern about the environmental pollution has created an extraordinary demand for the treatment and disposal of wastes in a manner to protect the public health and safety. The pollution abatement and environmental protection require an understanding of technical, regulatory, economic, permitting, institutional, and public policy issues. Scientists and engineers have a major role in this national effort to clean our environment, especially in developing alternative solutions and evaluation criteria and designing the necessary facilities to implement the solutions. The objective of the DOE Chair of Excellence project is to develop a high quality educational and research program in environmental engineering at North Carolina A&T State University (A&T). This project aims to increase the number of graduate and undergraduate students trained in environmental areas while developing a faculty concentrated in environmental education and research. Although A&T had a well developed environmental program prior to the Massie Chair grant, A&T's goal is to become a model of excellence in environmental engineering through the program's support. The program will provide a catalyst to enhance collaboration of faculty and students among various engineering departments to work together in a focus research area. The collaboration will be expanded to other programs at A&T. The past research focus areas include: hazardous and radioactive waste treatment and disposal fate and transport of hazardous chemicals in the environment innovative technologies for hazardous waste site remediation pollution prevention Starting from 2005, the new research focus was in the improvement of accuracy for radioactive contaminant transport models by ensemble based data assimilation. The specific objectives are to: 1). improve model accuracy for use in minimizing health and environmental risk, and 2). improve the decision making process in the selection and application of available technologies for long-term monitoring and safeguard operation at NNSA sites.

Integrating narratives into decision making for complex systems engineering design issues

Abstract Engineering decision making and design requires collaboration between groups from different disciplines, each with different tools, vocabulary, and concerns. Traditional engineering decision‐making tools are generally based on understanding the decision makers’ values, modeling uncertainty with probability, and selecting the alternative that maximizes utility. This rational approach to decision making may not be well understood or used by many stakeholders involved in the engineering design process. Constructing narratives, a basic means of human communication, may aid in engineering communication and comprehension and help with decision making. Narratives represent events by means of a story and usually include characters or agents who cause events and to whom events happen. This paper recommends three methods for how the use of narrative can be applied to the area of engineering decision making. These methods include connecting the decision maker to the analysis, creating narrative simulations for training decision makers, and fostering consensus in problems with multiple stakeholders. An illustrative example of designing a better cookstove for the developing world demonstrates the role that understanding narratives of various stakeholders can play for accomplishing complex systems engineering.

Foreword: Selected papers from the 2020 Nuclear and Emerging Technologies for Space Topical Meeting (NETS 2020)

Humanity’s curiosity of and intrigue for exploring space has been with our species since we first looked up into the night sky. This age-old curiosity has driven humankind to innovate technologies for millennia, including efforts ranging from the construction of Stonehenge to track the annual movements of the sun to the investigation of advanced propulsion systems capable of transporting people to distant planets. Today’s technical communities dedicated to researching and developing innovative technologies for space exploration have seen a recent reinvigoration. Over the past few years, impressive progress made by industry, with exceptional support from government agencies, to reestablish and develop new capabilities has renewed confidence in humanity’s ability to reach the stars—a confidence that has not been present since the days of the Apollo program. Moreover, history shows that innovation and collaboration within the scientific and engineering communities reaches unparalleled pinnacles during periods of astrophilia. Finally, given the advancements in computational capacities for advanced modeling and simulation, unprecedented breakthroughs in commercializing advanced manufacturing techniques, and powerful collaborative relationships between industry and national scientific organizations, today we are limited only by our own imaginations.

Automating CapCom: Pragmatic Operations and Technology Research for Human Exploration of Mars

During the Apollo program, NASA and the scientific community used terrestrial analog sites for understanding planetary features and for training astronauts to be scientists. More recently, computer scientists and human factors specialists have followed geologists and biologists into the field, learning how science is actually done on expeditions in extreme environments. Research stations have been constructed by the Mars Society in the Arctic and American southwest, providing facilities for hundreds of researchers to investigate how small crews might live and work on Mars. Combining these interests-science, operations, and technology-in Mars analog field expeditions provides tremendous synergy and authenticity to speculations about Mars missions. By relating historical analyses of Apollo and field science, engineers are creating experimental prototypes that provide significant new capabilities, such as a computer system that automates some of the functions of Apollo s CapCom. Thus, analog studies have created a community of practice-a new collaboration between scientists and engineers-so that technology begins with real human needs and works incrementally towards the challenges of the human exploration of Mars.
