Elektromreža Srbije. Elektromreža Srbije (abbr. EMS; ) is a Serbian national transmission system operator company with the headquarters in Belgrade, Serbia.

It was founded in 2005 after being split from Elektroprivreda Srbije and it is specialized in the transmission of electrical power. It is a member of the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity.

History
On 1 July 2005, the electric power transmission division of Elektroprivreda Srbije was split from the company and established its own public enterprise subsidiary Elektromreža Srbije (EMS).

In November 2016, Elektromreža Srbije changed its legal form to joint-stock company with 100% of shares being owned by the Government of Serbia.

In March 2018, the European electricity transmission association ENTSO-E warned over delay of electric clocks throughout Europe's power network due to lower frequency which was caused by the loss of electricity in the network. Namely, the loss was created due to political dispute between Serbia and Kosovo where the Kosovar power transmission company KOSTT took 113 GWh unauthorizedly from the network in the period of January–February 2018. Elektromreža Srbije has legal jurisdiction over Kosovar electricity transmission network, but due to political dispute, does not exercise full control over it. The direct loss of 113 GWh would amount to 24.86 million euros, as per average euro area electricity price (per KWh) of 22 eurocents for households in 2017.

On 21 April 2020, KOSTT formally joined the ENTSO-E following the vote and thus separated from Elektromreža Srbije.

Market and financial data
As of 2022, Elektromreža Srbije posted a profit of 70.28 million euros and had 518.37 million euros of revenues.

Software Process simulation. Software process simulation modelling:
Like any simulation, software process simulation (SPS) is the numerical evaluation of a mathematical model that imitates the behavior of the software development process being modeled. SPS has the ability to model the dynamic nature of software development and handle the uncertainty and randomness inherent in it.

Uses of software process simulation
Following main purposes have been proposed for SPS:
 Support in operational project management (estimation, planning and control)
 Support for strategic management
 Tool for training and education for software project management and software development lifecycle (c.f. and).
 Process improvement and technology adoption

How to do software process simulation
Software process simulation starts with identifying a question that we want to answer. The question could be, for example, related to assessment of an alternative, incorporating a new practice in the software development process. Introducing such changes in the actual development process will be expensive and if the consequences of change are not positive the implications can be dire for the organization. Thus, through the use of simulation we attempt to get an initial assessment of such changes on the model instead of an active development project. 
Based on this problem description an appropriate scope of the process is chosen. A simulation approach is chosen to model the development process. Such a model is then calibrated using empirical data and then used to conduct simulation based investigations. A detailed description of each step in general can be found in Balci's work, and in particular for software process simulation a comprehensive overview can be found in Ali et al.

In a recent initiative, by ACM special interest group on software engineering (SIGSOFT), a standard for assessing simulation-based scientific studies has been proposed.

Examples of using software process simulation for practical issues in industrial settings
 Process assessment: Enabling dynamic analysis in value stream mapping in industrial settings 
 Software Testing: Deciding when to automate software testing

Key venues 
Software process simulation has been an active research area for many decades some of the key venues include the International Conference on Software and Systems Process and its predecessor Workshop on Software Process Simulation Modeling (ProSim) from 1998-2004.

Beaumont St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Retention Pond. The Beaumont St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Retention Pond is a retention pond originally constructed by the St. Louis, Wichita, and Western Railway Company as a supply pond for the Beaumont St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Water Tank. It served the St. Louis, Wichita & Western Railway, and supplied the water tank, which was used to refill the boilers of steam locomotives on that line. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. From the year of construction until about 1955, when the railroad switched to diesel locomotives, this watering station was essential to railroad transportation.

The pond is constructed of concrete and metal, and contains a pumphouse with a pump. As the tower was made redundant by the switch to diesel locomotives, the pond and water tank remained vital to the Beaumont community. The pump station was kept active and pipe was laid throughout the town for potable water supply. The tower continued to hold water and was in limited use until 1988.

305 series. The  is a DC electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type operated by Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu) on Chikuhi Line and Fukuoka Subway Kuko Line through-running services in Kyushu, Japan, since 5 February 2015. The entire fleet of 6 six-car sets (36 vehicles) was scheduled to be in service by the start of the 14 March 2015 timetable revision.

Design

The fleet of 36 vehicles (6 six-car sets) will be built by Hitachi at a cost of approximately 5.7 billion yen, with styling overseen by industrial designer Eiji Mitooka. The new trains are designed to offer improved universal accessibility. Fully enclosed permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are used to reduce environmental noise and reduce power consumption by approximately 57% compared with existing 103 series trains.

Operations
The 305 series trains are used on through services between  the Chikuhi Line and  on the Fukuoka Subway Kuko Line, replacing older 103-1500 series sets.

Formations
The 305 series trains are formed as six-car sets as shown below, numbered W1 to W6, consisting of four motored intermediate cars and two non-powered driving trailer cars. Car 1 is at the Nishi-Karatsu end.

Cars 3 and 5 each have two PS402K single-arm pantographs.

Interior
Passenger accommodation consists of longitudinal bench seating with space for wheelchairs or strollers in each car. Each row of seats has a different seat cover design. Large liquid-crystal display screens are used for providing passenger information, and LED lighting is used throughout. Car 1 features wooden flooring of the same design as that used in JR Kyushu's luxury cruising train Seven Stars in Kyushu. Car 1 also has a universal access toilet. The side doors are equipped with passenger-operated open/close buttons, and these are normally available for use between  and  stations on the Chikuhi Line.

History
The first set, numbered W1, was delivered from the manufacturer Hitachi in Kudamatsu, Yamaguchi to JR Kyushu's Kokura Depot in November 2014, and moved to Karatsu Depot in December 2014.

A special public preview run was held on 31 January 2015, ahead of the formal entry into service on 5 February.

Fleet details

De Lattre Line. The De Lattre Line, named after General Jean de Lattre de Tassigny, was a line of concrete fortifications, obstacles, and weapons installations constructed by the French around the Red River Delta in northern Vietnam.

The French established the fortification to guard the essential lines of communication between the cities of Hanoi and Haiphong and to provide security for the densely populated and economically important Delta area against attacks by both the Việt Minh and any potential invasion from Communist China.

The Line was to comprise 1200 separate concrete blockhouses able to withstand 155mm artillery grouped in 250 clusters of 3-6 blockhouses for mutual fire support over a span of . Each blockhouse was to hold a minimum of 10 men. In addition a defensive redoubt was to be constructed around a   radius from the port of Haiphong ensuring its safety from artillery attack. All these new defensive lines were to be connected by roads capable of bearing 30-ton tanks. Construction commenced in late 1950 and was largely complete by the end of 1951.

While the De Lattre Line provided some degree of security and formed an anchor point for French mobile operations outside the Delta, it was far from impenetrable and entire Việt Minh combat units could be easily infiltrated through the gaps between strongpoints.
Following the withdrawal of the French from northern Vietnam in October 1954 the De Lattre Line was abandoned. Today the deteriorating blockhouses are either unused or used by farmers.

CIFA (computer). CIFA is the acronym for "Calculatorul Institutului de Fizică Atomică" ().

CIFA-1, the first Romanian computer, was built in 1957 under the guidance of Victor Toma. The experimental first-generation model CIFA-1 was reproduced in small numbers both in the original variant with vacuum tubes as well as in two variants using transistors: CIFA-10X and CET 500.

CIFA-1 was Romanias contribution to the development of computers in socialist countries (together with the USSR, the GDR, Polish People's Republic and CSSR).

CIFA-1

The logic designs for CIFA-1 started in 1953, at the Academy Physics Institute in Măgurele, with Victor Toma as the head of the project.  It was presented at the International Symposium in Dresden in 1955, and the prototype, which used 1500 vacuum tubes, a cylindrical magnet memory and machine code programming, was finished in 1957. Its size was that of three chifforobes, it had a paper tape input and a typewriter output and was able of solving 50 operations per second.

CIFA-1 was in use for two years. After it was decommissioned, it was scrapped and no part of it survived today.

Later computers 
Later CIFA computers were CIFA-2 (800 vacuum tubes) in 1959, CIFA-3 (for the Bucharest University's Computer Center) in 1961 and CIFA-4 in 1962. Other Romanian computers of the era are MECIPT-1 (1961), MECIPT-2 (1964) at the Polytechnic Institute of Timișoara, MARICA, DACICC-1 and DACICC-200 at the T. Popoviciu Institute of Numerical Analysis, Cluj-Napoca.

VITOSHA was the first Bulgarian computer, built in 1962-1963 on the basis of a cultural agreement between the Romanian and Bulgarian Academies of Science. It was based on CIFA-3.
