Joost Businger. Joost Alois Businger (March 29, 1924 – 2023) was a Dutch-American meteorologist. He was a professor at the University of Washington. Businger is best known for his work on atmospheric boundary layer (ABL).

Life and career
Businger was born in Haarlem, the Netherlands, on March 29, 1924. He obtained his PhD in physics and meteorology from Utrecht University in 1954. As a PhD student he did research on turbulent transfer of heat, mass and momentum in the atmospheric surface layer. He came up with a similar concept around the same time as the Monin–Obukhov similarity theory was founded in the Soviet Union, with the two concepts varying slightly. Businger subsequently spend some time at the Institute of Horticultural Engineering of Wageningen University. At the institute he studied microclimate in greenhouses and the protection of crops from frost by use of sprinklers. Wishing to study atmospheric science further, Businger saw no options to do so in the Netherlands. He thus sent out inquiry letters to different universities in the United States, and in 1956 was hired as research associate by the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

In 1958 Businger was hired assistant professor at the University of Washington. In 1961 he was promoted to associate professor. He became a full professor in 1964. Businger retired from the University of Washington in 1983. He then started working at the National Center for Atmospheric Research and retired fully in 1989. His archives from 1957 to 1989 are held at the University of Washington library.

Businger has been described as one of the first to recognize the scientific and practical importance of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) and worked on the development of the sonic anemometer.

Businger died in 2023.

Honours and distinctions
Businger was elected a corresponding member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1980. He was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2001 for "for contributions to the field of atmospheric turbulence transport and its applications". Businger was awarded the Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal by the European Geophysical Society in 2003, "for his fundamental contributions to the understanding of atmospheric turbulence and boundary layer processes and structure".

Apart from his scientific career Businger is known for his conservation efforts on Guemes Island and Sinclair Island.

Electro-technical officer. The Electro-Technical Officer (ETO) is a licensed member of the engine department of a merchant ship as per Section A-III/6 of the STCW Code.

The Marine Electrical Engineer is a vital positions in the technical hierarchy of a ship and is constrained by their assigned work under the Chief Engineer's overview. An ETO manages a key role in the Senior Management Team and reports directly to the Chief Engineer.

An ETO does not carry out an assigned Engine room "watch" instead they are normally on call 24 hours a day and generally work a daily shift carrying out electrical and electronic maintenance, repairs, diagnosis, installations and testing.
  
Some shipping companies do not carry Electrical Engineer Officers/ETOs on their ship to cut down the manning cost, and the electrical duties are instead carried out by a Marine Engineer - usually the Third Engineer. In many companies this situation has changed a lot, as many have realized that modern electrical and electronic systems require an extra attention and therefore require an expert to attend them. This is especially true on diesel-electric ships or vessels equipped with sophisticated systems such as dynamic positioning.

The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) amended STCW 95 (also known as the Manila Amendment) on June 25, 2010, to introduce the certified position of Electro-technical officer in place of Electrical officers. This was enacted to make modern Electrical Engineers competent to understand the more complex and sophisticated electrical systems that are emerging.

On larger vessels such as cruise ships or specialized offshore DP vessels, Electro-Technical Officers can have ranks within their profession, such position names include, lead ETO, First Electrician, chief electrical officer or chief electrical engineer. In this situation, the highest ranked Electro Technical officer will report directly to the chief engineer. On special class ships such as FPSOs the Electro Technical officer can earn high incomes due to the complexity of systems on board. This person is generally expected to have additional qualifications which specialise in process engineering, instrumentation and control.

Self-adhesive plastic sheet. Self-adhesive plastic sheet, known in the United Kingdom as sticky-backed plastic, is wide plastic sheet or film with an adhesive layer on one side, used as a surface coating for decorative purposes. It is typically smooth and shiny, but can also come in textured varieties, in which case it can sometimes be used as a cheap alternative to veneer. The plastic is often PVC. The sheeting is typically sold with a removable paper release liner to prevent it from adhering prematurely.

Self-adhesive vinyl sheet was introduced to the UK market in the 1960s under the brand name Fablon. 

It was extensively used in DIY at the time, and notably featured in children's DIY projects on the British TV show Blue Peter, but always under the generic name "sticky-backed plastic."

Smooth self-adhesive plastic sheet is typically used to cover the studio floor for shiny-floor shows, thus giving them their name.

Maintenance of traffic. Maintenance of traffic (MOT), also known as temporary traffic control or temporary traffic management, is a process of establishing of a work zone, providing related transportation management and temporary traffic control on streets and highways right-of-way. This process does not apply to law enforcement officers.

The establishment of a work zone and management of temporary traffic control is conducted by traffic controllers, also known as flaggers, traffic observers, or spotters. Standards of operations are established by the department of transportation of each state, and may vary from state to state.

Temporary Traffic Control or Temporary Traffic Management is critical to maintaining safety and minimizing disruption during temporary work zones, events, and other short-term traffic disruptions.

In the United States, traffic control devices are set up according to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, sometimes along with state supplements.

Maintenance of traffic training in the United States is provided by the American Traffic Safety Services Association.

List of largest wastewater treatment plants. The largest wastewater treatment plants can be defined in several ways.

The largest in term of capacity, both during dry and wet-weathers, is the Jean-R.-Marcotte Wastewater Treatment Plant in Montreal. With full secondary treatment of effluents it would be the Deer Island Waste Water Treatment Plant of Boston. In terms of area occupied it is by far Melbourne's Western Treatment Plant.

Wastewater treatment capacities are expressed in cubic meters per day. 1000 cubic meters is 1 ML (mega liter). The area occupied by the plants are in square kilometers.
