Microbial contamination of diesel fuel. Diesel bug is contamination of diesel fuel by microbes such as bacteria and fungi.

Water can get into diesel fuel as a result of condensation, rainwater penetration or adsorption from the air — modern biodiesel is especially hygroscopic.  The presence of water then encourages microbial growth which either occurs at the interface between the oil and water or on the tank walls, depending on whether the microbes need oxygen.  Species which may grow in this way include:

 bacteria — Clostridium; Desulfotomaculum; Desulfovibrio; Flavobacterium; Acidovorax facilis; Pseudomonas; Sarcina
 fungi — Aspergillus; Candida keroseneae; Fusarium; Hormoconis resinae

Fuel companies agree that if left untreated fuel will remain reliable for just 6–12 months, after which fuel contamination (such as the diesel bug) begins to appear. Most industrial engine manufacturers now recommend a fuel conditioning programme to ensure the reliability of fuel.

Ginger Krieg Dosier. Ginger Krieg Dosier is an American architect who, in 2010, developed a technique for using microbiologically induced calcite precipitation to manufacture bricks for construction.

Dosier's brick-making method consists of filling a rectangular form with sand layered intermittently with a solution containing urea, calcium chloride, and the non-pathogenic bacteria Sporosarcina pasteurii. After several days, the bacteria create a chemical chain reaction producing a mineral that binds the sand together into a brick. Because this process does not involve firing the brick in a kiln as in conventional brick-making, Dosier estimates that her method could reduce carbon emissions by 800 million tons each year.

Dosier is the winner of the 2010 Metropolis Next Generation Design Competition. She is the CEO of bioMASON, a biotechnology start-up grown from her Better Brick project. The company was the winner of the 2013 Dutch Postcode Lottery Green Challenge, one of the world's largest and longest-running start-up competitions focused on sustainable businesses.

Russian Geometric Kernel. Russian Geometric Kernel (also known as RGK) is a proprietary geometric modeling kernel developed by several Russian software companies, most notably Top Systems and LEDAS, and supervised by STANKIN (State Technology University). It was written in C++.

History
The kernel was developed in 2011–2013 under the supervision of “Stankin” Moscow State Technical University within the framework of the project for “Developing Licensed Home 3D-Kernel”, funded by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.

The kernel is said to be completed by 2013, with no other news on it available (by the end of 2016).

Architecture
RGK is described using boundary representation (B-rep). But other descriptions are used when necessary. For instance, to optimize the speed of kernel's functions, and to ensure precise storage and computation of the model, canonical objects and NURBS curves and surfaces are used. To solve tasks associated with complex operations (such as hole-covering surfaces, N-side patches, and blending surfaces in complex cases), special types of curves and surfaces are used by the kernel.

Low-level and high-level operations
Kernel functions can be grouped under another criterion: low-level and high-level ones. The low-level operations include constructing curves and surfaces (canonical objects, NURBS, offset curves and surfaces, and so on), projecting points and curves on surfaces, intersecting and extending curves and surfaces, modifying topology (including Euler operations), and so on. Low-level operations enable application developers to modify kernel data in a most flexible manner, practically operating in manual mode. 
High-level operations include operations that are standard for body generation, and Boolean operations on bodies (union, subtract, and intersect). It can be used with solid and surface bodies, and with combinations of the two.

Platforms
The geometric kernel supports 32- and 64-bit architecture, and Windows and Linux platforms. It can be compiled with any C++ compiler that implements features of С++11 standard.

Brandsby-type ware. Brandsby-type Ware is a type of Medieval ceramic produced in Brandsby, North Yorkshire, England, in the 13th and 14th centuries AD.

Production zone
Brandsby-type ware production is centred on the village of Brandsby, North Yorkshire, 22 km from York but is presumed to have been made in a  number of villages to the north of York.

Fabric
Brandsby-type ware is a lightly gritted fabric, generally oxidised to white, pink, pale brown, or reddish-yellow and sometimes with a grey core. They are generally finer and sandier, and usually more hard-fired than the earlier and comparable York Glazed Ware.

Form and decoration
The main form produced from Brandsby-type ware is the jug (or baluster jug), but cooking pots, bowls and condiment dishes also feature. Initially the forms are very similar to York Glazed Ware, but the ware later develops its own unique decorative style including rouletting or roller-stamping, combed wavy lines, or plain incised lines.

Nicholas Wilcox Cundy. Nicholas Wilcox Cundy (1778 – c. 1837) was an English architect and engineer. He was the son of Peter Cundy and Thomasine Wilcox and the brother of Thomas Cundy (senior). His parents' address was Restowick House, St Dennis, Cornwall.

Career
Nicholas Cundy was articled to a civil engineer in 1793. Later, he moved to London and became articled to an architect. His best-known architectural work is the conversion of the Pantheon, London into a theatre 1811–1812.

He returned to civil engineering about 1823 and became involved with canals and railways. He made an unsuccessful bid to build a ship canal from Portsmouth to London. In the 1830s, he became involved with railway schemes, including the Grand Southern Railway (a proposed London-Brighton route), the Grand Northern Railway (later the Northern and Eastern Railway), and the Central Kent Railway.

He stood as a Member of Parliament for Sandwich, Kent but was not elected.

Personal life
He married Miss Stafford-Cooke. He died about 1837.

Wibault. The Wibault company or Société des Avions Michel Wibault was a French aircraft manufacturing company. Its workshops were located in Billancourt, in the Paris area.

History
The Wibault company was established in 1919 by Michel Wibault. The planes produced by Wibault in the first decade included reconnaissance, fighter and bomber  aircraft, but production shifted mainly to civilian aircraft after 1930.

Some of the Wibault designs were quite successful; the Vickers Wibault was a licensed version of the Wibault 7 built by the British company Vickers in the 1920s.

In 1930 Société des Avions Michel Wibault built the Wibault-Penhoët 280, which was funded by the Penhoët (Chantiers St. Nazairre) shipyard and the following year the companies merged to form Chantiers Aéronautiques Wibault-Penhoët.  That company produced the Wibault-Penhoët 280 series of trimotor airliners, twelve of which were bought by Air France.  They also built transport and racing types but in 1934 were taken over by Breguet Aviation who built several Wibault designs including the Breguet 670 twin-engined airliner.

Benjamin Burleigh. Benjamin Burleigh (1820  1876) was an English civil engineer. He was born in Oxford on 24 May 1820.

Career
He started work at age 15 and had carried out many large parish surveys by age 19. He then made drawings and designs for bridges on the Eastern Counties Railway under George Landmann and John Braithwaite. From about 1845, he worked on the construction of the East Lincolnshire Railway and, from 1849, on the construction of the  Great Northern Railway between London and Peterborough. His designs included an aqueduct over the Regent's Canal and the viaduct at Peterborough.

In 1853, he made drawings for an underground railway from Kings Cross, London to the Mansion House but the scheme did not come to fruition. From 1862 to 1863 he supervised the construction of the Bristol Port Railway. After this, he supervised the construction of the East London Railway through the Thames Tunnel. In 1872 he was appointed Southern Division Architect at the York office of the North Eastern Railway, where he remained until his death.

Family life
In 1847, he married Georgiana Curtis. Their third son Alfred Benjamin, born 1853, also worked for the North Eastern Railway. In 1885, Alfred Benjamin Burleigh married Louisa, a daughter of the artist Edwin Moore.

Death
Benjamin Burleigh died at his home in Priory Street, York, on 25 April 1876.

Kosmochlor. Kosmochlor is a rare chromium sodium clinopyroxene with the chemical formula NaCr3+Si2O6.

The name is from German kosmisch, for its occurrence in meteorites, and the Greek chlor, for green. It was first reported in 1897 from the Toluca meteorite, Jiquipilco, Mexico.

It occurs as a major constituent of some jadeitites and as an accessory mineral of some iron meteorites. Associated minerals include cliftonite (graphite), chromian diopside, troilite at Toluca; daubreelite, krinovite, roedderite, high albite, richterite, chromite (Canyon Diablo); and jadeite, chromite and chlorite (Burma).
