Jorg Meyer. Jörg C. Meyer is the official scientific glassblower of the University of California, Irvine.

Meyer was born in Berlin, Germany, and learned glassblowing from his father and grandfather, who both worked in the same trade. He traveled to Australia, and blew glass for the Australian National University in Canberra, before moving again to Southern California. He was hired at UC Irvine by chemist Frank Sherwood Rowland at the founding of the university in 1965, and worked with Rowland and Mario J. Molina on their Nobel-prize-winning research on ozone depletion. As well as making scientific equipment for chemists, physicists, and atmospheric scientists, his creations have included a glass baseball mitt for Ralph J. Cicerone and a non-functional glass clarinet for UCI chemist Harold W. Moore.

Meyer has also developed stainless steel machinery for drying and purifying solvents, replacing previous methods using glassware that had a tendency to shatter. While working at UC Irvine in 1967, Meyer and his wife Allison founded a small company, GlassContour (now Seca Solvent Systems), through which he commercialized this purification process. The Meyers sold GlassContour in 2004 and in 2010 founded a second company, JC Meyer Solvent Systems, which also sells Meyer's stainless steel purification systems.

As well as for his glass and solvent purification work, Meyer is known for his appearance in a National Geographic magazine photo in 1965, riding a 40-foot whale shark as a professional diver in Australia. He is also a falconer and has helped to rehabilitate injured birds of prey.

In 2015, Meyer won the annual award for outstanding staff achievement of the UC Irvine Alumni Association.

Charles Kingsley (yacht designer). Charles William Russell Kingsley V.R.D. A.R.I.N.A. (30 January 1910 – 13 February 1996) was a British yacht designer and surveyor.

His early life was spent on the Isle of Wight where he designed, built and sailed small boats or canoes of canvas covered wooden framed design. For most of his working life, he was employed in London as a Victualling Clerk for the Orient Line. His hobby, which consumed much of his spare time, was yacht designing and surveying although most of the design activity reduced considerably after the Second World War. During the war, he served in the RNVR, initially (from 1933) in the pay branch - he had poor eyesight - but volunteered successfully to transfer to the Special Branch reaching the rank of Lieutenant Commander in 1947.

He was a member of the Little Ship Club, which he joined aged 19, and won first prize in their yacht design competition in 1933, for which he received the sum of £5 5s. The competition was judged by, among others, Laurent Giles. In December 1935 he had a new design for an 8-ton cruiser (based to a certain extent on his prize winning design) published in Yachting Monthly magazine.

He was an associate of the Institution of Naval Architects (later the Royal Institution of Naval Architects) between 1935 and 1964.

MyHSR Corp. MyHSR Corporation Sdn Bhd (MyHSR Corp) is a Malaysian company fully owned by the Ministry of Finance of Malaysia. It was set up to be the developer and asset owner of the terminated Kuala Lumpur–Singapore High Speed Rail project (HSR) at Malaysian side, under the government's move to improve connectivity between the two countries, as currently traffic congestion is acute and far exceeds the capacity of the Causeway at Johor Bahru, with the current infrastructure provisions.

The primary objective for the construction of the HSR is to reduce the travel time between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to 90 minutes by strengthening the link between two of Southeast Asia's most vibrant and fast-growing economic engines. In addition, the HSR presented an opportunity to open up and rejuvenate smaller cities in Peninsular Malaysia by connecting them to the two major metropolises.

Ammonium dimolybdate. Ammonium dimolybdate (ADM) is the inorganic compound with the formula (NH4)2Mo2O7. It is a white, water-soluble solid. ADM is an intermediate in the production of molybdenum compounds from its ores.  Roasting typical ore produces crude molybdenum(VI) oxides, which can be extracted into aqueous ammonia, affording ammonium molybdate.  Heating solutions of ammonium molybdate gives ADM.  Upon heating, solid ammonium dimolybdate decomposes to molybdenum trioxide:
 (NH4)2Mo2O7   →   2 MoO3  +  2 NH3  +  H2O

In terms of its chemical structure, the anion is a polymeric consisting of distorted octahedral Mo centers linked by tetrahedral molybdate centers.  When prepared in the absence of water as its tetrabutylammonium salt, dimolybdate adopts the centrosymmetric structure observed for dichromate.

Project 23000 aircraft carrier. Project 23000 or Shtorm () is a proposal for an aircraft carrier designed by the Krylov State Research Center for the Russian Navy. The cost of the export version (Project 23000E) has been put at over US$5.5 billion, and as of 2017 development had been expected to take ten years. , the project had not yet been approved and, given the financial costs, it was unclear whether it would be made a priority over other elements of Russian naval modernization.

History
The carrier is being considered for service with the Russian Navy's Northern Fleet as a replacement for aircraft carrier (heavy aircraft cruiser in Russian classification)  which was commissioned in 1991. The Nevskoye Design Bureau is also reported to be taking part in the development project. Although the creation of a new aircraft carrier, along with the s, has been postponed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, it is still mentioned in the Russia's State Armament Programme for 2018–2027 released in May 2017. According to Russian officials, a new heavy aircraft carrier should be laid down between 2025 and 2030. In 2020, it was reported that, if built, the carrier might also be fitted with the proposed S-500 surface-to-air missiles.

In early July 2016, the design of the aircraft carrier was offered to India for purchase.

Cambridge Distributed Computing System. The Cambridge Distributed Computing System is an early discontinued distributed operating system, developed in the 1980s at Cambridge University. It grew out of the Cambridge Ring local area network, which it used to interconnect computers.

The Cambridge system connected terminals to "processor banks". At login, a user would request from the bank a machine with a given architecture and amount of memory. The system then assigned to the user a machine that served, for the duration of the login session, as their "personal" computer. The machines in the processor bank ran the TRIPOS operating system. Additional special-purpose servers provided file and other services. At its height, the Cambridge system consisted of some 90 machines.

Fábrica Argentina de Locomotoras. Fábrica Argentina de Locomotoras (mostly known for its acronym FAdeL) was an Argentine manufacturer of rail vehicles which came about as a result of President Juan Perón's first five-year plan, which sought to expand national industries to reduce imports from foreign countries. It is best known for producing the Justicialista diesel-electric locomotive.

History

The first diesel locomotive had been designed by Argentine engineer Pedro Sacaggio in 1933. The company began with buying engines from Fiat Ferroviaria and Cantieri Riuniti dell'Adriatico in Italy and aimed to manufacture around 600 locomotives. FAdeL's first and most renowned vehicle was a diesel locomotive featured in 1951 by then-president Juan Perón and Saccaggio and nicknamed Justicialista. The first model launched was catalogued as "CM1". On May 1, 1952, FAdeL was officially established by Resolution n° 79 from the Ministry of Transport. The company's first factory in Liniers employed over one hundred people and was located in the workshops of the Sarmiento Railway.

The Justicialista (also the first diesel locomotive produced in Argentina) made its debut on the General Roca Railway, serving on the Constitución–Mar del Plata line towing the Marplatense express during summer holidays of 1952. The journey took 3 hours and 45 minutes. This machine would also run to Bariloche (with a journey time of 22 hours 10 minutes) and Mendoza (11 hours 40 minutes) at an average speed of 145 km/h and remained active until the mid 1960s.

Although a second model, the CM2, named Argentina was launched by FAdeL as a successor of the CM1, the Revolución Libertadora which ousted Perón in September 1955 halted any further production. The company then ramped up production under the leadership of the Sacaggio and moved to the General San Martín Railway workshops in Mendoza Province.

After the coup, the plan to build the locomotives was forgotten and the factory closed. The original plans, preliminary studies and equipment for the locomotives was either lost or destroyed while the contents of the factory was sold for scrap. However, the engines bought for the locomotives were used for Materfer's GAIA locomotives in the 1960s.

Advanced Propulsion Physics Laboratory. The Advanced Propulsion Physics Laboratory or "Eagleworks Laboratories" at NASA's Johnson Space Center is a small research group investigating a variety of theories regarding new forms of spacecraft propulsion. The principal investigator is Dr. Harold G. White.

The group is developing the White–Juday warp-field interferometer in the hope of observing small disturbances of spacetime and also testing small prototypes of thrusters that do not use reaction mass, with currently inconclusive results. The proposed principle of operation of these quantum vacuum plasma thrusters, such as the RF resonant cavity thruster ('EM Drive'), has been shown to be inconsistent with known laws of physics, including conservation of momentum and conservation of energy. No plausible theory of operation for such drives has been proposed.

Purpose 
The Advanced Propulsion Physics Laboratory is enabled by section 2.3.7 of the NASA Technology Roadmap TA 2: In Space Propulsion Technologies:

 

The lab's purpose is to explore, investigate, and pursue advanced and theoretical propulsion technologies that are intended to allow human exploration of the solar system in the next 50 years with the ultimate goal of interstellar travel by the turn of the century.  The 30x40 ft floor of the lab facility floats on large pneumatic piers in order to isolate it from any seismic activity. The pneumatic piers were originally built for the Apollo program and used to perform work involving inertial measurement units (IMU) before being brought out of retirement.

SPEARpesticides. SPEARpesticides (Species At Risk) is a trait based biological indicator system for streams which quantitatively links pesticide contamination to the composition of macroinvertebrate communities. The approach uses species traits that characterize the ecological requirements posed by pesticide contamination in running waters. Therefore, it is highly specific and only slightly influenced by other environmental factors. SPEARpesticides is linked to the quality classes of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD)

History
SPEARpesticides has been first developed for Central Germany and updated. SPEARpesticides was adapted and validated for streams and mesocosms worldwide and provides the first ecotoxicological approach to specifically determine the ecological effects of pesticides on aquatic invertebrate communities. Argentina, Australia Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Kenya, Switzerland, USA, Russia
Mesocosms.

Calculation

SPEARpesticides estimates pesticide effects and contamination. The calculation is based on monitoring data of invertebrate communities as ascertained for the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). A simplified version of SPEARpesticides is included in the ASTERICS software for assessing the ecological quality of rivers. A detailed analysis is enabled by the free SPEAR Calculator. The SPEAR Calculator provides most recent information on species traits and allows specific user settings. 
The SPEARpesticides index is computed as relative abundance of vulnerable 'SPecies At Risk' (SPEAR) to be affected by pesticides. Relevant species traits comprises the physiological sensitivity towards pesticides, generation time, migration ability and exposure probability. The indicator value of SPEARpesticides at a sampling site is calculated as follows:

with n = number of taxa; xi = abundance of taxon i; y = 1 if taxon i is classified as SPEAR-sensitive; y = 0 if taxon i is classified as SPEAR-insensitive.

An application is available for the calculation. Web address of SPEAR calculator
