Sarah Gillis. Sarah Levine "Cooper" Gillis (born January 1, 1994) is an American engineer employed by SpaceX as the senior space operations engineer. She flew to space in September 2024 on Polaris Dawn, a private human spaceflight mission, operated by SpaceX on behalf of Jared Isaacman. During the mission, she completed the first commercial spacewalk with Isaacman, becoming the youngest person to date to participate in a spacewalk, and, along with Anna Menon, set a new record for women traveling farthest from Earth.

Early life and education
Gillis graduated from Shining Mountain Waldorf School in Boulder, Colorado, in June 2012. She obtained a BS degree in aerospace engineering from University of Colorado Boulder in 2017, this on the advice of her mentor, former NASA astronaut Joseph R. Tanner.

Career
In 2015, while at the University of Colorado Boulder, Gillis began an internship at SpaceX, working on human-in-the-loop testing of the Dragon spacecraft before moving full-time to the astronaut training program.

She is a lead space operations engineer at SpaceX, responsible for overseeing the astronaut training program for the company's Crew Dragon vehicles. She prepared NASA astronauts for the first Demo-2 and Crew-1 missions and more recently directly trained Inspiration4 astronauts, the first all-civilian crew to go into orbit. Gillis is an experienced Mission Control Operator, who has supported real-time operations for Dragon's cargo resupply missions to and from the International Space Station as a Navigation Officer and as Crew Operations and Resources Engineer (CORE) for crew Dragon missions, the SpaceX equivalent of the NASA CAPCOM role.

Polaris Dawn
In September 2024 Gillis flew on Polaris Dawn, a private spaceflight operated by SpaceX on behalf of Shift4 CEO Jared Isaacman. She performed a stand-up extravehicular activity (SEVA) with Jared Isaacman, becoming the youngest person to do so. Gillis, along with Anna Menon, set the record for the farthest women from Earth. Later during the mission, Gillis, a classically trained violinist, played the solo violin part of "Rey's Theme" by John Williams from the 2015 film Star Wars: The Force Awakens to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and El Sistema.

Sandford Hydro. Sandford Hydro is a small hydroelectric scheme located on the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England. It uses the head of water provided by the weir at Sandford Lock in Sandford-on-Thames, but is actually situated on the opposite bank of the river in Kennington. It can generate  of electricity with its three archimedes screw turbines. Construction began in 2011, and the plant became operational in 2018.

Sandford Hydro is owned by Low Carbon Hub Sandford Hydro Ltd, which is itself a subsidiary Low Carbon Hub IPS Ltd, an industrial and provident society for the benefit of the community that seeks to develop a decentralised, locally-owned renewable energy infrastructure for Oxfordshire.

As part of the development of the hydro scheme, a new fish pass has been constructed. It is designed to help fish adapted to both fast and slow watercourses, and comprises a  gravel-lined channel with a gradient of 1 in 160, flanked at either end by sections with a gradient of 1 in 20 and brush and baffle components.

List of non-water floods. Most non-water floods (excluding mudflows, oil spills, or volcanic lahars) involve storage facilities suddenly releasing liquids, or industrial retaining reservoirs releasing toxic waste. Storage facility incidents usually cover a small area but can be catastrophic in cities. For example, a molasses tank failure in 1919 led to the Great Molasses Flood that killed 21 people in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.

Industrial retaining reservoirs are often used to store toxic waste, and when they fail they can flood a large area, causing physical and environmental damage. The 2010 failure of a reservoir at the Ajka alumina plant in Hungary flooded a small town and killed several, while the cleanup from the 2008 Kingston Fossil Plant spill in Tennessee, U.S. took several years and killed at least 40 workers involved.

Christy Landes. Christy F. Landes is an American physical chemist who is the Jerry A. Walker Endowed Chair in chemistry at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She previously was the Kenneth S. Pitzer-Schlumberger Chair at Rice University. She seeks to understand the structure-function relationships in biological processes and materials. She was appointed a National Academy of Sciences Kavli Fellow in 2019.

Early life and education 
Landes was an undergraduate student in chemistry at George Mason University. She moved to Georgia Tech for her doctoral research, where she majored in physical chemistry under the supervision of Mostafa El-Sayed. After earning her doctorate, Landes joined the University of Oregon as a postdoctoral researcher with Geraldine L. Richmond, where she spent one year before joining the University of Texas at Austin with Paul Barbara.

Research and career 
Landes joined the University of Houston at an assistant professor in 2006, and moved to Rice University in 2009. She was appointed Kenneth S. Pitzer-Schlumberger Chair in 2021. Her early independent work considered super-resolution single molecule spectroscopy for the characterization of biomolecules using FRET with membrane receptors and  diffusion within polymer brushes and porous hydrogel materials. She has pioneered the application of super-resolution microscopy to understand chromatography and has focused on tuning the plasmonic properties of nanomaterials using electrochemistry and stimuli-responsive polymers. She has also shown how silver ions disperse from the tips of gold-silver nanoparticle alloys, which may improve catalytic activity. Her biophysical chemistry work has demonstrated that single-molecule approaches could be used to better understand cancer metastasis.

Landes established the NSF Center for Adapting Flaws into Features (CAFF) in 2021 and serves as its director. The center investigates the defects in silicon-based electronics that hold promise for improving device performance, explore the structural and optoelectronic processes that make these flaws influential, and realize technologies that incorporate and exploit these flaws.

Plasma treatment (textiles). Plasma treatment is a surface modification process for textiles that imparts various functional properties at a lower cost, with fewer chemical adverse effects, and with a reduced environmental impact all while maintaining important textile properties.

Plasma 
After solid, liquid, and gas, plasma is referred to as the fourth state of matter. Non-thermal and cold plasma are used to modify the surfaces of textiles. Interactions with cold plasma have little effect on the bulk characteristics of textiles. When a cold plasma interacts with a material contained within it (substrate), a variety of events occur, individually or in combination. Four major types of effects are: Cross-linking, etching, functionalization, and the formation of a deposit on the substrate's surface.

Advantages 
Plasma treatment in textiles can produce various functional properties, such as antimicrobial textiles, and water repellent textiles. In comparison to conventional finishing procedures, plasmas have the significant advantage of lower chemical, water, and energy use. Plasma treatment is environmentally friendly because it is comparable to a dry process.

Sodium acetylacetonate. Sodium acetylacetonate is an organic compound with the nominal formula Na[CH(C(O)CH3)2].  This white, water-soluble solid is the conjugate base of acetylacetone.

Preparation
The compound is prepared by deprotonation of acetylacetone:

NaOH  +  CH2(C(O)CH3)2  →  NaCH(C(O)CH3)2  +  H2O
The anhydrous compound is produced by deprotonation with sodium hydride in an aprotic solvent such as THF:
NaH  +  CH2(C(O)CH3)2  →  NaCH(C(O)CH3)2  +  H2

Reactions
Oxidation of the salt gives tetraacetylethane.  

With metal salts, it reacts to give metal acetylacetonate complexes.

Alkylation of sodium acetylacetonate can result in both O-alkylation and C-alkylation.  The former gives the enol ether and the latter gives 3-substituted derivative of acetylacetone.

Structure
The structure of the monohydrate has been established by X-ray crystallography.  The sodium cation is bonded to the enolate oxygen centers.
