Local Computer Networks Conference. The Local Computer Networks Conference (LCN) is an annual international academic conference organized by the IEEE Computer Society. The first LCN was held in 1976, with the full name of "Conference on Experiments in New Approaches to Local Computer Networking". The second meeting in 1977 was called the "Conference on 'A Second Look at Local Computer Networking'" before it changed its name to "Third Conference on Local Computer Networks" in 1978. After that the conference was simply called LCN. The IEEE Technical Committee on Computer Communications has sponsored the LCN since 1979.

LCN has grown to be a premier conference on theoretical and practical aspects of computer networking and is ranked as an A conference according to the CORE Rankings Portal in 2017.

History of the conference

Historical events 
The conference celebrated its 40th anniversary 2015 in Clearwater Beach, Florida where Robert Metcalfe (founder of 3COM and co-inventor of the Ethernet network technology) gave the keynote speech  and held a panel session with Harvey Freeman (President of the IEEE Communications Society 2017), Howard Salwen ("father of the token ring" and founder of Proteon), and Peter Martini (Director of Institute Fraunhofer FKIE).

Exfoliation corrosion (metallurgy). In metallurgy, exfoliation corrosion (also called lamellar corrosion) is a severe type of intergranular corrosion that raises surface grains from metal by forming corrosion products at grain boundaries under the surface. It is frequently found on extruded sections where grain thickness is not as thick as the rolled grain.  It can affect aircraft structures, marine vessels, heaters  and other objects.

Manning Water Tower. The Manning Water Tower is a historic structure located in Manning, Iowa, United States.  It is significant as a good example of early 20th-century steel elevated water tower design, and its association with Anson Marston and the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company.  Marston, who designed the structure, was a professor of engineering at Iowa State College.  Manning native Henry J. Brunnier, who studied under Marston, convinced the city council to use one of Marston's designs rather than a less expensive standpipe. He also assisted with this water tower's design, and went on to career as a civil engineer in San Francisco.  Also involved in the tower's design was the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company, who built it in 1903.  It replaced a pump house with a steam-powered engine and a large water tank that was built near the town's well in 1894.  The water tower is  tall.  It has a  steel tank, with a cast-iron center pipe, and four steel legs.  The superstructure rests on concrete piers with limestone capstones, and the tank is capped with a pagoda-shaped roof.  The water tower was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.

The design of the Super Nt console is similar to that of the Super Famicom console and the European and Korean Super NES control deck. The console features an HDMI port for video output, a micro USB port for power, an SD card port for firmware updates, a cartridge port compatible with Super NES and Super Famicom cartridges, and controller ports compatible with accessories designed for the Super NES, including the original controllers. The console does not include a controller, requiring a separate purchase.

Unlike previous Analogue products, the Super Nt's enclosure is manufactured from ABS plastic to streamline manufacturing and reduce costs. The console measures .

The Super Nt was originally released in four variants: Black, Classic (modeled after the North American Super NES), SF (modeled the Super Famicom and the European Super NES) and Transparent. A limited edition fifth variant in white (in collaboration with Ghostly International and limited to 1000 units) was released on December 3, 2018.

Reception
The Analogue Super Nt was released on February 7, 2018 to critical acclaim. Forbes called it "the new benchmark for all retro consoles". Tom's Guide and PCMag gave it an Editor's Choice Award. Wired Magazine gave it a 9/10 and a Wired Recommends Award.

Sapporo Municipal Subway 5000 series. The  is a DC electric multiple unit (EMU) rubber-tyred metro train type operated by Sapporo Municipal Subway on the Namboku Line in the city of Sapporo, Japan, since October 1995.

Design
The trains are built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries and have aluminum bodies. Each car has four doors per side as opposed to two per side as seen on the older 2000 series and 3000 series cars. The 5000 series cars remain the only cars on the entire subway system with four doors.

The 5000 series use VVVF inverter control using insulated-gate bipolar transistor technology as opposed to the chopper control on the 3000 series and resistor control on the 2000 series, which helps to reduce power consumption and maintenance costs.

Formations
The 5000 series trains are formed as six-car sets as shown below.

Interior
Passenger accommodation consists of longitudinal bench seating throughout, with a wheelchair space in each car. The first 17 sets use LCD destination indicators; the 18th to 20th sets use LCD displays as destination indicators.

History
Built in 1995 to combat issues of platform congestion, the first 5000 series set was introduced onto the line in October 1995; a total of 17 sets were introduced from 1995 to 1999, ultimately replacing all of the 2000 series sets in service. Three more sets were introduced from 2009 to 2011 to replace the last remaining 3000 series sets at the time.

GoFly Gotar. The GoFly Gotar is a French autogyro that was designed by and was under development by GoFly Aeronatique of Boves, Somme, introduced in 2013. The aircraft was intended to be supplied to customers complete and ready-to-fly.

The company seems to have been founded about 2013 and gone out of business in 2016. It is unclear whether any examples were completed and flown.

Design and development
The Gotar has a fuselage design that can be finished as an autogyro with an unpowered rotor, a helicopter with a powered rotor, or as an ultralight trike with a hang glider-type wing fitted. The autogyro version was developed first and it seems unlikely that other versions were completed.

As an autogyro the Gotar features a single main rotor, a two-seats-in tandem open cockpit with a windshield, tricycle landing gear without wheel pants, plus a tail caster and a four-cylinder, 16 valve, air-cooled, four stroke  Vija J-10Si engine in pusher configuration.

The aircraft fuselage is made from metal tubing, with a small cockpit fairing and a curved windshield that continues over the seats to the rotor mast. Its two-bladed rotor has a diameter of . The aircraft has a typical empty weight of  and a gross weight of , giving a useful load of . With full fuel of  the payload for the pilot, passenger and baggage is .

The design was first promoted on the company website in 2013, but had reportedly not flown by 2015. The company website was removed at the end of 2016. The company presumably no longer exists and Gotar development ended.

Uptane. Uptane is a Linux Foundation / Joint Development Foundation hosted software framework designed to ensure that valid, current software updates are installed in adversarial environments. It establishes a process of checks and balances on these electronic control units (ECUs) that can ensure the authenticity of incoming software updates. Uptane is designed for "compromise-resilience," or to limit the impact of a compromised repository, an insider attack, a leaked signing key, or similar attacks. It can be incorporated into most existing software update technologies, but offers particular support for over-the-air programming or OTA programming strategies originating from The Update Framework.

History 
Uptane was developed by a team of engineers at New York University Tandon School of Engineering in Brooklyn, NY, the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute in Ann Arbor, MI, and the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, TX. It was developed as open source software under a grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

In 2018, the Uptane Alliance, a non-profit organization, was formed under the aegis of IEEE-ISTO to oversee the first formal release of a standard. The first standard volume, entitled IEEE-ISTO 6100.1.0.0 Uptane Standard for Design and Implementation, was released on July 31, 2019. Uptane was recognized in 2017 by Popular Science as one of that year’s top security innovations.

As of 2020, multiple implementations of Uptane are available, both through open source projects such as the Linux Foundation’s Automotive Grade Linux, and through third party commercial suppliers, such as Advanced Telematic Systems (ATS), now part of Here Technologies, and Airbiquity. There is also a reference implementation meant to aid adopters implementing Uptane.

Atlantic Meridional Transect. The Atlantic Meridional Transect (abbreviated as AMT) is a multi-decadal oceanographic programme that undertakes biological, chemical and physical research during annual voyages between the UK and destinations in the South Atlantic. The ongoing AMT programme was begun in 1995 to assess biological processes in the Atlantic Ocean from the mesoscale through to basin-scale. An early activity of the programme was the calibration of measurements and products produced by the SeaWiFS (1997-2010) satellite-based sensor for ocean chlorophyll.

The AMT programme is led by Plymouth Marine Laboratory, with support from the National Oceanography Centre. It is currently funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). Since its inception in 1995, the programme has undertaken 26 research cruises with 256 scientists drawn from 22 countries. The AMT programme has provided data for more than 300 refereed publications, as well as 75 PhD theses.

The return cruise track of the AMT programme operates between the UK in the North Atlantic and the Falkland Islands, Chile or South Africa in the southern hemisphere, and its total distance can be up to . The track crosses a number of biogeochemical provinces, including productive temperate and equatorial upwelling systems, and the oligotrophic northern and southern Atlantic ocean gyres. In sampling this diverse range of planktonic ecosystems, the cruises of the AMT programme provide a consistent dataset over a broad spatial scale, and play an important role in understanding the oceanic carbon cycle.

Leela (software). Leela is a computer Go software developed by Belgian programmer Gian-Carlo Pascutto, the author of chess engine Sjeng. It won the third place for 19x19 board Go and the second place for 9x9 board Go at the Computer Olympiad in 2008, and won the eighth place in the 1st World AI Go Tournament in August 2017. According to its website, it has "Strength over 9 dan on 19 x 19, depending on hardware". The program was named "Leela" because the author wanted a pleasant female name that contrasted with the prevailing style at the time, typified by names like "Shredder", "Tiger", and "Rebel".

A version featuring deep learning technology was released for free in February 2017. It was the first Go engine close to professional level freely available on a personal computer.

Leela should not be confused with Leela Zero, a stronger program developed by Pascutto and collaborators beginning in late 2017.
