Business Management System Support Analysis

The purpose of this research project was to develop a searchable database compiled with internal and external audit findings/observations. The data will correspond to the findings and observations from the date of Center-wide implementation of the ISO 9001-2000 standard to the present (2003-2008). It was derived and extracted from several sources and was in multiple formats. Once extracted, categorization of the findings/observations would be possible. The final data was mapped to the ISO 9001-2000 standard with the understanding that it will be displayed graphically. The data will be used to verify trends, associate risks, and establish timelines to identify strengths and weaknesses to determine areas of improvement in the Kennedy Space Center Business Management System Internal Audit Program.

Flight evaluation results from the general-aviation advanced avionics system program

A demonstration advanced avionics system (DAAS) for general-aviation aircraft was tested at NASA Ames Research Center to provide information required for the design of reliable, low-cost, advanced avionics systems which would make general-aviation operations safer and more practicable. Guest pilots flew a DAAS-equipped NASA Cessna 402-B aircraft to evaluate the usefulness of data busing, distributed microprocessors, and shared electronic displays, and to provide data on the DAAS pilot/system interface for the design of future integrated avionics systems. Evaluation results indicate that the DAAS hardware and functional capability meet the program objective. Most pilots felt that the DAAS representative of the way avionics systems would evolve and felt the added capability would improve the safety and practicability of general-aviation operations. Flight-evaluation results compiled from questionnaires are presented, the results of the debriefings are summarized. General conclusions of the flight evaluation are included.

Exploration and Analysis of Legacy Data at the Hanford Site Using PHOENIX - 19044

Radioactive contaminants pose risks to human health and the environment. These risks are influenced by factors such as disposal/release and transport mechanisms, location in the environment, potential exposure receptors, and the presence of comingled contaminants. Understanding the behavior, transport, and distribution of radionuclides in the environment is essential to facilitating risk-informed decision-making related to remedial design, action, and monitoring. These decisions are based on significant amounts of complex data that must be accessed, integrated, and analyzed to effectively evaluate data and formulate appropriate conclusions and recommendations. Often, data volume, complexity, and legacy access issues pose severe challenges for analysts, regulators, and stakeholders interested in evaluating scientific data to support decision-making. To address these challenges at the U.S. Department of Energy Hanford Site, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has developed PHOENIX (PNNL-Hanford Online Environmental Information exchange) to facilitate risk-informed decision-making by streamlining investigative and analytical processes through the integration and visualization of previously isolated datasets created under distinct regulatory or operational regimes, each serving a specific purpose. With the large volume of data dispersed across many Hanford environmental databases, finding the correct sources of relevant data, accessing them, and relating them in a meaningful way can prove challenging and time consuming. By analyzing Hanford databases, performing substantial optimization using modern data processing methods and developing extensive queries on the refactored data, PHOENIX enables users to access, integrate, display, visualize, and retrieve data that would have been historically unfeasible to examine. The data and information accessible through PHOENIX help inform remediation-related assessments and evaluations, predict and quantify the risks that radioactive and chemical contaminants pose to human health and the environment, and communicate this information to decision makers responsible for risk-based remediation actions.
