UXP/DS. UXP/DS is a discontinued Unix operating system developed by Fujitsu for its line of workstations and network servers. UXP/DS is based on AT&T System V Release 4 (SVR4), and targets Fujitsu's DS/90 7000 series of computers, as well as some GP7000 series computers.

History

In 1991, Fujitsu announced the DS/90 7000 series of workstations and servers, powered by SPARC processors, and running the UXP/DS operating system.

In 1998, Fujitsu's new GP7000 series (GRANPOWER 7000) was divided into three parts. Series "S" represented their previous systems running UXP/DS. Series "D" represented their new systems also running UXP/DS. Series "F" represented their new systems running Solaris operating system. GP7000F running Solaris became the basis for later lines of Fujitsu Unix servers.

In 1999, UXP/DS on the DS/90 7000 series was one of the reference platforms for the Common Desktop Environment (CDE).

In 2000, when Fujitsu released its new PRIMEPOWER line of Unix servers, only Solaris was available as an option for the operating system.

Chan–Lam coupling. The Chan–Lam coupling reaction, also known as the Chan–Evans–Lam coupling, is a cross-coupling reaction between an aryl boronic acid and an alcohol or an amine to form the corresponding secondary aryl amines or aryl ethers, respectively. The Chan–Lam coupling is catalyzed by copper complexes. It can be conducted in air at room temperature. The more popular Buchwald–Hartwig coupling relies on the use of palladium.

History
Dominic Chan, David Evans, and Patrick Lam published their work nearly simultaneously. The mechanism however remained uncertain for many years. Later developments by others extended the scope to include using carboxylic acids, giving aryl-ester products.

Mechanism
Analysis of the mechanism is complicated by the lability of copper reagents and the multicomponent nature of the reaction. The reaction proceeds via the formation of copper-aryl complexes. A copper(III)-aryl-alkoxide or copper(III)-aryl-amide intermediate undergoes Reductive elimination to give the aryl ether or aryl amine, respectively:
Ar-Cu(III)-NHR-L2 → Ar-NHR + Cu(I)L2
Ar-Cu(III)-OR-L2 → Ar-OR + Cu(I)L2

Example
An example of the Chan–Lam coupling to synthesize biologically active compounds is shown below:

Compound 1, a pyrrole, is coupled with aryl boronic acid, 2, to afford product 3, which is then carried forward to the target 4. The nitrile group of 2 does not poison the catalyst. Pyridine is the ligand used for the reaction. Although the reaction requires three days, it was carried out at room temperature in ambient air and resulted in a 93% yield.

Ultrabright electron. Ultrabright electrons are an advanced atomic imaging tool that can allow scientists to view atoms and molecules in motion. They were developed at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter in Hamburg, Germany and at the University of Toronto with the teams led by Professor R.J.D. Miller.

Brightness

The brightness of an electron beam is defined for any given point as the current per unit area normal to the given direction, per unit solid angle. Mathematically this is defined using limits as the area and solid angle tend to 0. The general formula is,

 

An ultrabright electron beam has been defined as having >10 A/cm^2 with spatial coherence of >1 nm. This level of energy in that small of a coherence is a large technical problem, not only in the production of such a beam, but also how to use the beam without destroying the sample in the process of characterization. The singular problem of sample destruction was taken care of by studying reactions that are photo-active and prepared in such a way that reduced potential barriers.

Non-relativistic ultrabright electron spectroscopy

In non-relativistic electrons the problems of achieving  was overcome by utilizing the natural chirp that occurs in electron shot bunches. To capitalize on this chirp the developed gun was made as compact as possible with a magnetic lens around the electron pulse radio-frequency (RF) gap. By continuing to use spatial compression in conjunction with the electron bunch chirp allowed the gun to be able to resolve in a 200-fs time frame, with up to 10^9 electrons/cm^2, and with enough coherence to study unit cells of up to 6 nm. It is believed that this technique will be able to be advanced by at least two orders of magnitude in the near future.

This method was used to observe the charge delocalization in the organic salt (EDO-TTF)2PF6 as it undergoes a photo-induced insulator-to-metal phase transition. The motion observed revealed the reduction in dimensionality that takes place at transitional moments in chemical reactions, which is a major theoretical breakthrough in understanding how there can be repeated patterns in chemistry among molecules of vastly different dimensions.

Relativistic ultrabright electron spectroscopy

Relativistic ultrabright electron spectroscopy has developed rapidly through the work of the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter in Hamburg, Germany in building the Relativistic Electron Gun for Atomic Exploration (REGAE). This tool has allowed the problem of electron scattering to be much reduced through the use of an RF gap in an even more effective manner than with non-relativistic elections, which has allowed the REGAE to be able to probe deeply into samples in the 10-fs time frame with a spatial coherence of >20 nm, meaning that it can be used to study protein movements.

Using the REGAE the ring closing dynamics of diarylethene were observed in real time, and they too revealed an intense reduction in dimensionality as the nuclei went through the tipping point of the reaction.

Machineers. Machineers is a puzzle adventure game which tasks players with fixing twelve fantasy machines using mechanical parts such as gears, belts and wires. The player takes on the role of Zola - a new intern working for Hayden's Repair Shop in Tivoli Town. Machineers is an episodic game, with Episode 1 being released on 9 October 2014, and Episode 2 released on 12 April 2015.

Gameplay
Using point and click adventure game interactions, players walk around the town interacting with the robot townsfolk and each gives the player a puzzle in the form of a machine to fix. Each puzzle serves as a lesson aiming to teach the player how to use a puzzle mechanic in preparation for the sandbox Vehicle Workshop, where players can build a car in a configuration of their choosing and drive it around a track. Around the town are a variety of objects the player can interact with and learn about to explore the lore of the world.

Development
Machineers began as a Master's thesis at the IT University of Copenhagen as a puzzle game designed to teach programming to children, a topic that CEO and developer Henrike Lode has spoken about at conferences. Machineers was developed as an exploration of stealth learning in Educational Technology in order to teach logical thinking and programming skills through using the mechanical parts as metaphors for programming concepts. As such, knobs are used as variable setters, translated through a wire to a different method and a receiver that acts as a switch statement.

Reception
Machineers was positively received by several gaming review websites, such as KILLSCREEN and Pocket Gamer.

Machineers was a winner at the 2012 Serious Games Showcase and Challenge.

Winner of the Games For Purpose category, Conference on Human Factors in Computing Science 2013, Paris, France.

Awarded funding from the Nordic Game Program  at Nordic Game conference in Malmo, Sweden in 2014.

HMS Hawk (1741). HMS Hawk was an eight-gun snow-rigged sloop of the Royal Navy, the second of three Drake class sloops constructed during the Anglo-Spanish War of Jenkins' Ear. Launched in 1741, her principal service was as convoy escort and patrol in the Irish Sea. She was broken up at Deptford Dockyard in 1747.

Construction 

Hawk was the second of three small, fast vessels designed by Surveyor of the Navy Jacob Acworth to guard merchant shipping in British home waters after the declaration of war against Spain in 1739. She was ordered in August 1740, to be constructed by contract by shipwrights Grevill and Whetstone on the waterfront at Limehouse on the River Thames, and was then fitted out, armed and commissioned at Deptford Dockyard. Her dimensions were in keeping with other vessels of her class, with an overall length of , a beam of  and measuring 205  tons burthen. Construction costs were low, being £1,550 in shipwright fees and building expenses and a further £1,505 for fittings.

Hawk had two masts, supported by a trysail mast aft of the main mast, being square-rigged on the fore and main masts. She was built with seven pairs of gunports along her upper deck, but initially armed with only eight four-pounder cannons with the remaining ports left unused. Twelve lightweight half-pounder swivel guns (anti-personnel weapons) were mounted on posts along the sides of the deck, and two more four-pounder cannons were added in 1744. The vessel was established with a complement of 80 men.

Naval career
Hawk was commissioned in May 1741 under Commander William Bruce, and assigned to the protection of the British whaling fleet off Spitzbergen. At the conclusion of the whaling season Hawk was briefly stationed off the Carolinas, remaining there until Commander Bruce's death on 12 June 1742. Hawk was then sailed to England and assigned to escort and patrol in the Irish Sea, under Commander Arthur Forrest.

The sloop returned to England in 1744 and was decommissioned in April of that year to enable refitting at Deptford for a cost of £1,735. Her armament was increased and her mast plan shortened, with the main mast reduced by  to , and her foremast reduced by  to .

She was recommissioned in May, and relaunched in June, for patrol duties along the Thames Estuary under Commander Samuel Masterson. In 1745 she returned to her former station as a convoy escort in the Irish Sea, guarding merchant vessels approaching the British Isles. In August 1745 her captaincy passed from Masterson to Commander Frederick Hyde.

Hawk was decommissioned and broken up at Deptford Dockyard in October 1747.
