Transplanter. A transplanter is an agricultural machine used for transplanting seedlings to the field. Transplanters greatly reduce time required to transplant seedlings compared to manual transplanting. Among the crops that are transplanted with transplanters are strawberries, vegetables, tomatoes, cabbages, tobacco and rice.

Semi-automatic mechanical transplanters are a common type, which can be self-propelled, or towed by a tractor at a low speed. A row of three to six operators feed seedlings from germination trays into hoppers which feed into the delivery mechanism.

Columbia XJL. The Columbia XJL is a large single-engined amphibious aircraft designed by Grumman Aircraft but built by the Columbia Aircraft Corp. It was intended to replace the Grumman J2F Duck but the type did not reach production status.

Design and development

The Grumman J2F Duck biplane amphibian had successfully served the United States Navy (USN) in quantity from late 1934 onwards. The final 330 examples were built in 1941/42 under sub-contract by the Columbia Aircraft Corp, retaining the J2F-6 designation.

At the end of World War II, Grumman completed a major re-design of the aircraft for the USN as a Wright R-1820-56 powered monoplane amphibian. The new design was turned over to the Columbia Aircraft Corporation for development and construction so that Grumman could focus on the production of fighter aircraft for the USN.

The aircraft strongly resembles the J2F Duck, except for its monoplane layout, and has been referred to as a "single-winged Duck". It is, however, a completely new design.

The USN ordered three XJL-1 experimental aircraft from Columbia, with the first being used for destructive strength testing on the ground. The remaining two airframes, assigned USN BuAer Nos 31399 and 31400, were delivered to the USNs test establishment at Patuxent River Naval Air Station Maryland for evaluation in 1946.

Operational history

The two aircraft tested at Patuxent River were found to have repeated structural failures of various components. Testing was abandoned on 21 September 1948. The aircraft were deleted from the USN inventory in February 1949. No further orders were placed for production of the JL design. The aircraft were sold as surplus in 1959. 31399 was registered N54207 and is undergoing restoration at Yanks Air Museum, Chino, California. 31400 was registered N54205, and, restored, is now on display at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona.

National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting. NICEIC is one of several organisations which assesses the competence of businesses undertaking electrical work in the UK. NICEIC is one of several providers given Government approval to offer Competent Person Schemes in England and Wales to oversee electrical work within the scope of Part P of the Building Regulations.

NICEIC also run certification schemes for plumbing, heating, renewables business as well as MCS and PAS certification schemes and has circa 38,000 businesses certified on its schemes, as well as being a leading industry training provider for electrical, gas, plumbing, heating, renewables qualifications.

Certsure LLP (which is owned by Electrical Safety First, a registered charity, and the Electrical Contractors’ Association (ECA), the electrotechnical industry trade body) trades under the certification brand of NICEIC.

History
From 1923, an earlier organisation, the National Register of Electrical Installation Contractors, kept a register of approved electrical contractors. It was incorporated on 10 August 1956.

Headquarters
The NICEIC is situated next to the headquarters of Costa Coffee and Whitbread, north of the main industrial estate Houghton Regis, which is near to Dunstable.

Certification
Businesses undertaking electrical work are certified by NICEIC to become Approved Contractors and/or Domestic Installers, meeting the NICEIC's scheme requirements for competence and the like kind. If work undertaken by the certified business is not up-to-standard, the NICEIC will correct it if necessary. Certified businesses are assessed by a team of local Assessors. Many local authorities only give work to NICEIC certified businesses.

To be a certified business undertaking electrical work, the business must:
 Ensure work is carried out to the current edition of BS 7671; the IET Wiring Regulations
 Ensure certification is issued on completion of installation work, as directed by BS 7671
 Ensure work meets the requirements of the Building Regulations / Standards and the like (where relevant)

Galaxy 10R. Galaxy 10R was an American communications satellite which was operated by PanAmSat, and later Intelsat. It was constructed by Hughes and is based on the HS-601HP satellite bus. Launch occurred on 25 January 2000, at 01:04. The launch was contracted by Arianespace, and used an Ariane 4 42L-3 carrier rocket flying from ELA-2 at the Guiana Space Centre.

Galaxy 10R was built to replace the Galaxy 10 satellite, which had been lost in a launch failure on the maiden flight of the Delta III in 1998. It was launched just fourteen months after the contract to build the satellite had been signed, due to Hughes' advance production of components to allow quick production of replacement satellites.

Following its launch and on-orbit testing, it was placed in geostationary orbit at 123° West, from where it provided communications services to North America. It was expected to remain in service for fifteen years, however following a malfunction of its Xenon Ion Propulsion System in August 2004, this was reduced. It was retired to a graveyard orbit in June 2008.

Energy management (degree). Energy Management (EM) is a business-specific degree, with a broad curriculum focusing on multiple facets of the energy industry: business (accounting, management, marketing, economics and MIS), geology, petroleum engineering, and law.  The American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL) provides curriculum guidance and program support for approved petroleum land management programs.  Currently, the AAPL has 10 accredited universities in the United States and Canada.

The University of Oklahoma offered the first degree of this kind, emerging in 1958 as the Petroleum Land Management program before becoming the Energy Management program in 1999. The University of Oklahoma program remains one of the top energy management programs in the United States.

Most students pursuing a degree in Energy Management enter the industry as landmen, working with energy companies securing leases for drilling and mineral rights as well as contracting with property owners and energy brokers. It is also common for the landman to work alongside landmen from other companies to secure joint ventures in drilling. There are also career opportunities for EM students in commodities marketing and trading and in international negotiations.

The University of Tulsa, Texas Tech University, University of Calgary, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, University of Wyoming, University of Texas Permian Basin, and Western State Colorado University all offer similar AAPL approved degrees focusing on energy business education.

Electrocapillarity. If an electric field is applied parallel to the surface of a liquid and this surface has a net charge then the surface and so the liquid will move in response to the field. This is electrocapillary flow, an example of electrocapillarity. Electrocapillary phenomena are phenomena related to changes in the surface free energy (or interfacial tension) of charged fluid interfaces, for example that of the dropping mercury electrode (DME), or in principle, any electrode, as the electrode potential changes or the electrolytic solution composition and concentration change.  

The term electrocapillary is used to describe the change in mercury (Hg) electrode potential as a function of the change in the surface or interfacial tension of the Hg determined by the capillary rise  method. The phenomena are the historic main contributions for understanding and validating the models of the structure of the electrical double layer. The phenomena are related to the electrokinetic phenomena and consequently to the colloid chemistry.

Interfacial tension

The interfacial (surface) tension, St, (dyne cm−1), can be calculated by applying the equation of capillary rise method (when the contact angle Ө → 0):

where:
 h (cm) is the height of Hg column above the Hg meniscus in the capillary
 r (cm) is the radius of capillary
 g is the acceleration due to gravity
 d (g cm−3) is the Hg density

The circuit contains Hg electrode as the ideally polarizable electrode and a reference electrode as the non-polarizable electrode. Thus, when an external voltage is applied, only EM/S of Hg/solution fluid interface is changed.

Boron monoxide. Boron monoxide (BO) is a binary compound of boron and oxygen. It has a molar mass of 26.81 g/mol. The material was first reported in 1940, with a modified synthetic procedure published in 1955, however, the material's structure had remained unknown for nearly a century. A number of allotropes of BO have been theorized ranging from molecular species, to 1D, 2D, and 3D-structured materials, but these were difficult to differentiate using common structural characterization methods. Recent work suggests that the material forms 2D nanosheets composed of O-bridged B4O2 rings, a structure initially postulated in 1961. Due to the lack of precise structural information on the identity of the compound, it has not found widespread use in industry.

Synthesis 
Boron monoxide is typically produced through the condensation of tetrahydroxydiboron (chemical formula; B2(OH)4) at temperatures of 200–500°C. The use of higher temperatures (700°C) leads to the formation of hard B2O3 glasses. These glasses generally have a dark appearance, from the dissolved elemental boron, and are also produced directly through the dissolution of B into B2O3.

BO has been used in the synthesis of B2Cl4, which served as the only evidence, until 2010, of the preservation of the B–B bond present in the precursor compound.
