# Kentucky JROTC Director of Army Instructions (DAI) Pilot Program ===== PAGE 5 ===== ## Agenda KY JROTC DAI Overview Mission/Org Chart Proposed DAI Footprint Proposed DAI Locations DAI Pro/Con Assistance Required Final Comments ===== PAGE 6 ===== ## KY JROTC DAI Overview Current Environment: The State of Kentucky currently has 62 stand-alone JROTC programs. One DAI authorized but not utilized. DAI requires 5 JROTC Programs in one School District. Without a DAI shop, there is inadequate oversight of program operations. Areas of concern consist of JROTC Program Accreditation (JPA), Cadre misconduct, Property accountability, Cadet and Cadre retention, and Cadet progression in JROTC. Proposed Solution: Adopt a State DAI Shop which will provide oversight and command and control. The Kentucky State DAI will have East and West Regions providing standardization and continuity of curriculum through regular touchpoints with JROTC programs. ===== PAGE 7 ===== ## JROTC DAI Mission and Org Chart DAI Mission Statement: Director Of Army Instruction (DAI) will ensure, on behalf of the KY Department of Education and the Army, through proper instruction, supervision and an integrated process, the JROTC program is administered according to law, regulation, policy, and principles. The DAI serves as representative in matters pertaining to the Department of the Army and JROTC; advocates for JROTC at the State and National Levels. **Proof of Concept would only be manned with 2x personnel if restricted to Brigade TDA Authorization. To be successful we recommend minimum 4 and prefer 6 pax. CC Reg145-2 authorizes a 6 pax DAI with 26+ JROTC Programs and Kentucky has 62 JROTC Programs. 2-4 pax would not support West and East Region. We request manning above Authorization until the pilot is proved viable and TDA is updated for a state DAI manning of 6 pax or augmented with ADOS.

Funds are requested through an online application process (see link below). Each student must complete an online application to apply for the scholarship along with a 250-word essay stating how the funds will benefit him or her academically. Upon a thorough vetting of all scholarship applications from the Director of Scholarships, all applicants who meet the required qualifications are notified they have met the requirements and their applications will be sent out for justification. Approved applicants are then forwarded to the Foundation Scholarship Committee with through a justification document for final verification and approval. Once approved, a transmittal is generated by the Foundation Scholarship Committee and submitted to the offices of financial aid, bursars and scholarship office. If a student’s financial status changes upon waiting on the scholarship process, financial aid will only award and/or post what the student is eligible to receive. Once awards are posted to student’s accounts by the bursar’s office the Director of Scholarships will notify the students concerning their respective award status. If students does not meet the required qualifications, he/she are notified from the scholarship office with an explanation of why he/she were denied. If a student’s denial status changes for the better and meets the qualifications with legitimate reasons, he/she may resubmit a corrected and/or revised application as long as it is within the applications timeframe of acceptance. ## Student Eligibility and Requirements Awards are disbursed per semester to the bursar's office for students who meet the following requirements: - Have a current year and completed FASFA on file - Have accented the maximum amounts on the subsidized and unsubsidized student loans offered - Are in good academic standing (meaning NOT on probation) - 2.0 grade point average or above • Enrolled full-time (12 credits or more) - Demonstrates the need for the financial assistance (Balance must be more than $100) KSU Private Source Scholarship Link https://www.kysu.edu/scholarships/pvt-univ-scholarship-application.php ===== PAGE 45 ===== # KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD OF REGENTS ## ACTION ITEM: Approval to purchase a Thermo Fisher Scientific Apreo 2 S LoVac scanning electron microscope using USDA grant funds. This piece of equipment would be located at the Atwood Research Facility, and it would be used by faculty, staff, and students in the College of Agriculture, Community, and the Sciences at Kentucky State University. ## FACTS: This scanning electron microscope would be used to conduct agricultural research for several research projects. More specifically, it would be used to examine: 1) soil particles and soil microbial activity as they pertain to water-holding capacity and overall soil health, 2) pathogens in water and food, 3) mechanisms by which bees are infected with pathogens, 4) coronavirus particle presence, 5) the development and destruction of cancer cells following novel treatments for cancer, and 6) a range of applications in plant science. This microscope would also be used in aquaculture research for identifying aqueous animal parts and biological materials, as well as characterizing the biodiversity of biomedea and biofilters. Moreover, the equipment would offer the opportunity for students to be trained in these new advanced technologies, thus supporting efforts to make students ready for the workforce. ## BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS: $580,681 of federal USDA research grant funds would be used to purchase the Apreo 2 S LoVac scanning electron microscope. The purchase of this device would also require approval from the USDA and the Kentucky Finance Cabinet following approval by the KSU Board of Regents. ## RECOMMENDATION: Interim President Ronald A. Johnson recommends that the Board of Regents approve the purchase of the Apreo 2 S LoVac scanning electron microscope. ## MOTION: Approve the purchase of an Apreo 2 S LoVac scanning electron microscope using USDA funds. ===== PAGE 46 ===== # Apreo 2 SEM for Life Sciences Maximize your productivity with flexible, robust, and high-performance 2D/3D life science imaging with the Thermo Scientific Apreo 2 SEM for life sciences. This highly flexible system boasts many features that can make life science imaging simple. For example, charge-free imaging in combination with simultaneous triple in-column detection ensures the right image at the right time. The Thermo Scientific™ Apreo 2 SEM is the ideal choice for 2D and large-volume analysis. The Apreo product line is known for versatile, high-quality imaging of difficult and/or delicate life science samples. The Apreo 2 SEM builds on these qualities to provide optimal imaging for an even wider range of critical life science targets. With charge-free, high-resolution, and enhanced-contrast imaging, it is now even easier to find the right conditions for every specimen. ## Lens and Column configurations The unique Trinity In-Column Detection System of the Apreo 2 SEM allows you to obtain more data from your sample thanks to its final lens design, which includes multiple detectors at different positions in the lens. The system allows a choice in lens presets: the electrostatic final lens (in the Apreo 2 C SEM) is ideal for imaging heavily charging samples, whereas the immersion lens (in the Apreo 2 S SEM) enables increased contrast in life science samples. ## Key Benefits

All-around high performance for life science samples ranging from tissues to nanoparticles. Using the compound electrostatic magnetic-immersion lens, ultra-high resolution can be achieved with great depth of field (long working distances).

Flexible 2D and 3D imaging. The Apreo 2 SEM can image a wide range of samples in 2D, or, with the addition of our serial block-face imaging system and multi-energy deconvolution software or Array Tomography, it can even unravel complex 3D architectures in their natural context.

Less time on instrument maintenance. With Thermo Scientific SmartAlign Technology, optical alignment can be performed automatically so that you can spend more time on data collection and less on routine maintenance.

Enhanced surface contrast. Beam deceleration allows for the detection of low-angle backscattered electrons, enhancing the topographical surface contrast of your samples.

Simultaneous detection of multiple signals. The Apreo 2 SEM features the unique, in-column Trinity Detection System, which allows simultaneous detection of multiple signals (e.g., composition, topography, and surface information) and is immediately available from the moment the beam is activated.

Serial block-face imaging system. Our state-of-the-art serial block-face imaging system enables large 3D volume acquisition without user attendance and volume reconstructions (using Thermo Scientific Amira ™ Software) in an automated manner, achieving high-quality isotropic 3D data.

Array Tomography software. The Apreo 2 SEM also allows volume imaging with our dedicated Array Tomography software, which enables high-resolution 3D images based on serial ultra-sections of biological tissue blocks.

===== PAGE 47 ===== Within the column, different detectors allow simultaneous information on material contrast (T1 detector; detecting backscatter electrons), topography (T2 detector; detecting secondary electrons), and surface information (T3 detector; detecting low-energy secondary electrons). In all Apreo 2 SEMs, the T1 and T2 detector are available as standard, and the T3 is optional. Other detector options for the Apreo 2 SEM include the chamber-mounted Thermo Scientific Nav-Cam+™ Camera; the ETD detector, which detects secondary electrons and backscatters; a retractable DBS, which, by its four annular segments, allows discrimination of backscatters based on their angle; and a retractable, segmented STEM detector. The STEM detector allows higher contrast in life science samples in annular dark field. For serial block-face imaging, a specific LoVac lens-mounted backscatter detector can also be configured, providing the best image quality in low-vacuum conditions. ## Chamber and stage options The Apreo 2 SEM offers a choice of high-resolution HiVac operation or a dedicated LoVac mode. The latter allows chamber pressures up to 500 Pa, which provides a certain hydration level to samples and allows different charge-mitigation strategies to be applied. Mitigation of these charging effects results in excellent resolution in the images. The low-vacuum mode also comes with an automated routine to insert and remove the pressure limiting aperture (PLA). The PLA allows you to choose the proper conditions for imaging instead of manually adjusting the system for LoVac imaging conditions. The flexible chamber of the Apreo 2 SEM accommodates up to three EDS/WDS ports for fast and sensitive X-ray measurements, which can be analyzed using the revolutionary Thermo Scientific™ ChemiSEM™ Technology. This technology provides elemental information quickly and easily, and, because it is fully integrated into the user interface of the SEM, the elemental information is displayed as color in the live image, meaning that the SEM is no longer a grayscale technique. The chamber is also compatible with cryogenic stages, cathodoluminescence detectors, integrated Raman, and other analytical techniques that might be required, offering a full package for any application and any research question that needs answering.

## 3 D imaging ## Volumescope System The addition of our state-of-the-art serial block-face imaging system to your Apreo 2 SEM allows you to move your experiments into 3D, unraveling the complex architecture and structure-function relationships of your sample in its natural context. The Thermo Scientific Volumescope™ System can be quickly and easily mounted onto your Apreo 2 SEM, giving you the ability to perform unattended, large-volume acquisition as well as automatic visualization of the reconstructions. The Volumescope System offers an improved axial resolution by combining the mechanical microtome with optical sectioning. After each section is cut from the block face, the exposed sample is imaged with a series of increasing accelerating voltages. This generates a 3D subset of optical subsurface layers that provide isotropic information with 10 nm Z-resolution. The ability to quickly remove the microtome allows you to switch the system back to normal 2D SEM operation or even to automated tomography through the addition of optional Thermo Scientific Maps™ Software. ## Array Tomography Array Tomography is a software module within Maps Software that enables high-resolution 3D image volumes based on serial ultra-sections of biological tissue blocks. Array Tomography samples are typically carriers that carry hundreds of serial ultra-sections. Until now, the process of creating imaging regions in the same relative location in all sections required hours, or even days, of manual input from a skilled operator. Using the Thermo Scientific Array Tomography workflow, the automatic Section Finder takes over this task. ===== PAGE 48 ===== # Life science samples imaged with the Apreo 2 SEM Cell and tissue biology applications

The total volume is 350 μm × 350 μm × 83 μm using a total of 829 images (with a slice thickness of 100 nm and voxel size of 42 nm × 42 nm × 100 nm). The images required 7 days of continuous imaging. Scale bar: 100 μm. The zebrafish embryo eye tissue was imaged at 3 kV (100 pA) with 3 μs dwelltime. The total volume is 136 μm × 94 μm × 31 μm using a total of 772 images (with a slice thickness of 40 nm and voxel size of 48 nm × 48 nm × 40 nm). Courtesy for both samples: Robert Creton, Brown University. Scale bar: 20 μm 100 μm

Example of Array Tomography in a zebrafish embryo. The sample comprised 12 pieces of tape with 20 sections per tape. A 40 µm x 40 µm x 20 µm volume was recorded at a resolution of 5 x 5 x 80 nm in the aorta region of the 48h PF embryo. ## Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology applications

Images of an anti-asthmatic drug deposited from a compressed-gas delivery inhaler onto a TEM grid. In the left image at low magnification, you can see the particles deposited on the surface. The second is a close-up of the particles at a higher magnification showing fine surface details. Taken using the immersion lens at 1 kV accelerating voltage with the in-lens backscatter detector (T1), without metal coating. This shows how high contrast and surface detail can be obtained without complex sample preparation on low-atomic-weight materials using the Trinity and Immersion modes.

Example of microorganisms imaged using the retractable STEM detector, allowing for better contrast and resolution in life science samples. ===== PAGE 51 =====

ChemiSEM image of "Salt and Pepper" imaged at 15 kV with the T1 in-lens backscatter detector and integrated EDS ChemiSEM EDS detector. The image on the left shows backscatter contrast of the particles on a carbon sticky tab. The image on the right shows the live, automatically applied elemental image for sodium (Na), representing the salt and oxygen-rich pepper in blue (O), and (C) showing the carbon sticky tape. Note the similarity of the phases in backscatter, yet the elemental analysis clearly shows the phase separation. This extra color can help you distinguish between phases that could otherwise be confused.

The Trinity detection system is comprised of a segmented, lower in-lens detector (T1), an upper in-lens detector (T2) and an in-column detector (T3). Apreo 2 S LoVac also includes a dedicated Low Vacuum secondary electron detector to provide charge-free topographic contrast imaging of non-conductive samples. An integrated IR-CCD camera is standard for in-chamber viewing and the Nav-Cam color optical camera is used to take top-down images of samples for navigation. Optionally available are a retractable Directional Backscatter (DBS) detector and a STEM detector for imaging thin sections, powders or FIB-prepared specimen. ## Imaging Images are displayed in an area of 1536 x 1024 pixels, configurable for either single-frame or four-view display. Apreo 2 features FLASH technology, which automatically performs focus, lens alignment and stigmator alignment in a matter of seconds – all that is required is the push of a button. Images can be viewed live, averaged or integrated. Apreo 2 fully supports the SmartSCAN™ advanced scanning strategies which allow line averaging and interlaced scanning in addition to Drift Corrected Frame Integration (DCFI). Still images can be saved in TIFF, BMP, JPEG file formats, and in 8-bit, 16-bit or 24-bit depth, to the hard disk or LAN from the graphical user interface. Image printing is also available from the user interface. In addition, the system supports recording of AVI movies. This can either be done on the fly or by capturing a series of TIFF images at user-specified intervals. These TIFF images can then be combined into AVI's by using the included proprietary movie creator software. The software includes a 4-view mode, in which the displays can be used for live display of electron images (SE, BSE), mixing of signals and display of the image of the standard infrared (IR-CCD) camera. Look-up tables allow image contrast, brightness or gamma to be enhanced. Flexible databar selection is also provided. User-definition of preferred imaging parameter sets is available. Imaging parameters are stored in the TIFF image file as private data. Finally, image measurements and annotations can be performed live on the image and the results can be stored together with the images. ## Selected area electron channeling imaging Apreo S HiVac comes with PivotBeam™ functionality for selected area electron channeling. Also known as “rocking beam” mode, PivotBeam keeps the beam on a single area (<5 μm diameter) while scanning the incident angle. For crystalline materials, the resulting k-space image shows dark bands reminiscent of an EBSD pattern, indicating the angles with enhanced electron channeling. PivotBeam helps orienting the sample for Electron Channeling Contrast Imaging (ECCI) and imaging dislocations in the crystal. ## System control Apreo 2 S LoVac is controlled from an MS-Windows 10 graphical user interface running at a 1920 x 1200 screen resolution. The controller computer is based on an Intel Xeon W3520 Processor/ 2.66 GHz 8 MB cache, 12 GB system memory, one 500 GB hard drive, one 16x DVD+/-RW drive, integrated FireWire and USB ports and a 1 Gb LAN network card (computer specifications subject to change). The system includes a 24" LCD monitor, keyboard, optical mouse and a height-adjustable office desk. A USB manual user interface (for controlling magnification, contrast/brightness, beam shift and stigmatters) and/or a Joystick (for control of stage movement) is optionally available. ===== PAGE 62 ===== The microscope controller is dedicated to its primary function, includes a DVD/RW and has a possibility to connect directly to a LAN. Optionally, a support computer can be connected for additional functionality such as MS-Office software suite, firewall, anti-virus and other non-instrument software. ## RAPID This instrument is RAPID-enabled. RAPID (Remote Access Program for Interactive Diagnostics) is a highly secure connectivity tool that enables Thermo Fisher Scientific's service engineers to connect directly to the instrument to address system issues remotely. RAPID can significantly speed up repair time and thus reduce instrument downtimes, while improving Thermo Fisher Scientific's overall quality of service. Thermo Fisher Scientific's service engineers use RAPID to perform remote system diagnostics and repairs, support user operation and view images for enhancing system performance. However, customers maintain complete control of how and when RAPID is used -- each RAPID session must be initiated by the customer. RAPID requires a high-speed internet connection (> 5 MB/sec recommended, 1 MB/sec required). For full details please browse to the RAPID pages on the Thermo Fisher Scientific website ## Installation requirements Please refer to Apreo pre-installation guide. ## 1133682 ## Maps 3 for SEM/SDB with Correlative Workflow Thermo Scientific Maps is the system automation and correlative microscopy software suite for SEM and DualBeam systems. Maps provide automated acquisition of image mosaics via easy set up and offers complete control on location, resolution and imaging parameters. Maps make it easy to set up multiple mosaic acquisitions on a single sample, or on multiple samples loaded in the chamber. Maps also make it easy to re-align and collect data over multiple imaging sessions. ## Specifications: - The maximum pixel resolution is 40k x 40k per tile (depends on microscope type). - Maps corrects for non-linear stage behavior to increase navigation accuracy. Maps supports batch acquisition, allowing the user to schedule acquisition of multiple areas in one job, saving supervised time. - Microscope real-time stitching of tiled images can be carried out concurrent with image acquisition. - Export of stitched tile sets or user defined areas to TIFF or HD View compatible formats. - Maps image data can be saved in RAW formator TIFF format. ## Maps Correlative Workflow Maps Correlative Workflow serves as a powerful addition to the Maps correlative microscopy suite. Users can input images from any source via a wide range of standard image formats. Maps provide guideflows to import, align and visualize all sample imagery. Users have control over visualized layers, transparency of each layer and native histogram controls for SEM images. Users can also easily share results using the optional offline version. Annotations including text, linear and angular measurements can be made by multiple users and shared in a single project for a collaborative interpretation experience. Key Features: - Import of 2D images of any common image file format - Import of 3D data in the form of 3D Tiff format - Import of Leica CLEM data format including all overviews and local zStacks - Guided Correlation Workflow - Image layer controls ## 133684 Maps 3 Offline with Correlative Workflow Maps 3 Offline with Correlative Workflow is intended for running on dedicated image processing computers. The offline version of Maps 3 with Correlative Workflow requires at least 4 GB of RAM memory and can be connected to multiple Maps. ===== PAGE 63 ===== ## 26823 NRTL Field Labeling Third party electrical safety assessment and field labeling by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) at the Customer's site. ## FP 3440/52 Acoustic Enclosure for Pre-vacuum Pump The acoustic enclosure is a cover that fits the pre-vacuum pump(s) of the microscope system. It provides noise dampening of the pump(s) for operator and microscope.
