Gereb Shegal. Gereb Shegal is a reservoir located in the Inderta woreda of the Tigray Region in Ethiopia. The earthen dam that holds the reservoir was built in 1998 by SAERT.

Dam characteristics 
 Dam height: 20 metres
 Dam crest length: 363 metres

Capacity 
 Original capacity: 1000000 m³
 Reservoir area: 17.1 ha

Irrigation 
 Designed irrigated area: 52 ha
 Actual irrigated area in 2002: 14 ha

Environment 
The catchment of the reservoir is 8.67 km² large, with a perimeter of 12.12 km and a length of 4320 metres. The reservoir suffers from rapid siltation. The lithology of the catchment is Mekelle Dolerite and Antalo Limestone. Part of the water that could be used for irrigation is lost through seepage; the positive side-effect is that this contributes to groundwater recharge.

Willowvale Motor Industries. The Willowvale Motor Industries (Pvt.) Ltd. (from 1989 to 2015 Willowvale Mazda Motor Industries (Pvt.) Ltd.) is an automobile and commercial vehicle manufacturer in Zimbabwe.

History 
After the unilateral declaration of independence by Rhodesia, it was no longer possible to import complete vehicles to Rhodesia due to UN sanctions. In addition, the two domestic assembly plants of BMC and Ford lost access to their export markets, so that production stagnated and both plants had to close in early 1967.

Both assembly plants were bought up by the Rhodesian Industrial Development Corporation. Companies whose vehicles were assembled by WMI included Toyota, BMW, Peugeot, Citroën, Nissan (Datsun), Scania, Renault, Bedford and Alfa Romeo. The assembled BMW models were the BMW 2000 GL based on the Glas 1700, which was sold locally as the Cheetah.

Other brands produced were Daihatsu and Isuzu. Mazda models were added in July 1980. The Toyota Land Cruiser was manufactured from 1981 to 1993.

Tractors from Ford, Deutz, Universal (Romania), Fiat, John Deere and Massey Ferguson were also manufactured.

In 1986, the government of Zimbabwe announced a new initiative for automobile production. At the same time, production had to be severely restricted due to the lack of foreign exchange. In 1989, Mazda was selected as a technical partner. The shareholders of the company, which was renamed Willowvale Mazda Motor Industries, are the state-owned Motec Holdings (58%), Mazda Motor (25%), Itochu (8%) and an employee benefit fund (9%). In the 1990s WMMI had around 2000 employees (1997) and produced up to 9000 units a year.

From 2000 onwards, production fell sharply. Production had to be interrupted for several months in each of 2000 and 2010. In 2012 WMMI stopped production. The reason given was that at least 4000 units would have to be produced per year. This value had already been significantly undercut before. The last models produced were the Mazda 3 and the Mazda BT-50.

In November 2015, it was announced that the company would be renamed Willowvale Motor Industries without changing its ownership structure or business model. In early 2017, production was resumed in cooperation with BAIC and Astol Motors as part of the newly founded joint venture Beiqi Zimbabwe. Double cabin pick-ups are produced, which are sold as BAIC Great Tiger or ZX Grand Tiger.

Chrome Azurol S. Chrome Azurol S is a histological dye used in biomedical research.

Chrome Azural S (CAS) is a common spectrophotometric reagent for detection of certain metals like aluminum which can be toxic in excess and can contribute to people with neurodegenerative disorders. CAS is used to provide quantitative and qualitative information on molecules of interest like aluminum and siderophores.  Qualitatively a color change can be observed while also allowing to quantitatively determine concentration of certain ions.

Nielsen & Winther. Nielsen & Winther was a Danish machine factory and aeroplane manufacturer based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

History
The machine factory was founded in 1873. It was from 1899 to 1916 based in a building at Blegdamsvej 60 designed by Axel Berg. It then relocated to a new building designed by Frederik Wagner at Ryesgade 51-55 as well as a large new plant at Øresundsvej 147.

Aircraft production
The Amager plant was home to a new aeroplane division. It delivered six Nielsen & Winther Type Aa aeroplanes to the Royal Danish Air Force in 1917. One aircraft was delivered to the Royal Norwegian Navy Air Service in 1918. Three of the six Danish aircraft crashed in accidents and the three remaining ones were therefore grounded. The Amager plant was sold to Vølund in 1920.

Aircraft produced by Nielsen & Winther:-

Fa - c/n N&W.21Sports flying-boat exported to Norway, registered as N1 to Einar Juell.

Football club
Nielsen & Winther was also the name of a football club founded in 1918 by workers at the factory:

Legacy
The company's former buildings at Blegdamsvej 60 and Ryesgade 51-55 have survived. The Amager plant, taken over by Vølund, was demolished in 2001. Its premises in the Free Port was taken over by Riffelsyndikatet.

Molecular clamp. A molecular clamp is a polypeptide used to maintain the shape of proteins in some experimental vaccines. On a virus, pre-fusion proteins on their surface provide an attractive target for an immune reaction. However, if these proteins are removed or made by recombinant technology, they lose their shape and form what is called a "post-fusion form". When part of a virus, these proteins maintain their form by forming a quaternary structure with other viral proteins. The pre-fusion state of the protein is a higher energy metastable state. The extra energy is used to overcome the activation barrier of the fusion to the cell membrane. The virus protein (or part of it) in combination with the clamp polypeptide is called a chimeric polypeptide.

Molecular Mechanism 
Pre-fusion proteins (or subunits) from the following viruses have been stabilised in experiments by the molecular clamp technique: measles, HIV, influenza, Ebola and RSV. The clamp is made from amino acid residues in a pattern that repeats after every seven residues, and must be at least 14 residues in length. The clamp self-assembles into a twin helix with one strand going forward and the other in reverse. The pairing of the amino acids in the strands is ensured by a pattern of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids. The pattern is arranged so that none of the clamp will bind to the protein from the virus. The clamp self-assembles into a stiff rod. The clamp is linked to the desired part of the virus protein by a linker. The linker may serve other functions, such as allowing the chimeric protein to be purified from a mixture.

COVID-19 Vaccine 
Researchers at University of Queensland started to produce a vaccine using this method for SARS-CoV-2 in 2020. Development was funded by Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations which in turn received funding from the Gates Foundation as well as Norwegian, Japanese and German governments. The development of the vaccine was cancelled on 11 December 2020 during its Phase I trial, after a number of trial participants were found to give false positive test results for HIV antibodies when they did not in fact have HIV. This was due to the molecular clamp being derived from fragments of Gp41, the spike protein of HIV, leading to "a partial antibody response" to HIV.  This is an undesirable outcome as it will interfere with future HIV screening tests for affected participants.

Since being abandoned as a COVID vaccine, the clamp is being re-engineered to use non-HIV proteins.
