Hwang Jung-chiou. Hwang Jung-chiou (; born 10 October 1952) was the chairman of Taiwan Power Company (Taipower), the state-owned electric power utility company of the Republic of China, from 2012 until 2016. Previously, he had served as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Republic of China from 2009 to 2012.

Education
Hwang obtained his bachelor's degree in electronics engineering from Chung Yuan Christian University in 1975. He then obtained his master's degree in computer engineering from National Chiao Tung University in 1979 and earned a Ph.D. in information engineering from the same university in 1989.

Taipower chairmanship

Chairmanship appointment
Hwang was appointed as the chairman of Taipower in May 2012 due to public outcry over the hikes of electricity and fuel rates in that year.

Taiwan's fourth nuclear power plant
Speaking in February 2013 regarding the controversial Longmen Nuclear Power Plant construction in Gongliao, New Taipei, Hwang said that Taipower had already asked geologists to evaluate any possible condition so that Taipower can deal with the issues seriously. He further added that Taipower will keep continue to improving its performance by the end of that year. He also hoped that the increase of electricity prices may help to offset the loss by having higher fuel price for power generation made by Taipower.

Chairmanship resignation
Hwang tendered his resignation in July 2016 citing health reasons.

SIPA S.70. The SIPA S.70 was a late 1940s French eight-passenger light transport aircraft prototype built by Société Industrielle Pour l’Aéronautique (SIPA).

Design and development
The design for a commercial light transport for inter-city routes was started in 1947, the S.70 was a wooden, twin-engined, low-wing cantilever, cabin monoplane with a twin tail. Powered by two  Mathis G.8R piston engines it had room for six to eight passengers with a pilot sat centrally at the front. The prototype, registered F-WZCI, was flown in 1949 but very little else is known and it did not enter production.

SNCASE SE-1210. The SNCASE SE-1210 was an experimental French flying-boat designed and built by SNCASE as a flying scale model of the proposed SE-1200 transatlantic flying boat.

Design and development
Following the end of the Second World War, the French aircraft manufacturer SNCASE proposed a very large, long-range flying boat, the SE-1200, which was intended to carry 125 passengers across the Atlantic Ocean. The SE-1200, with a wingspan of  and a maximum takeoff weight of  and powered by eight  Arsenal 24H engines in four tandem pairs (the Arsenal 24H was a 24-cylinder H-24 engine based on components of the Junkers Jumo 213), would have been one of the largest aircraft in the world if completed. 

To enable aerodynamic tests of the design a flying scale model approximately one-third size was built. The resultant SE-1210 was powered by four  Renault 6Q in-line piston engines. The SE-1210, registered F-WEPI, first flew on 9 June 1948 on the Étang de Berre near SNCASE's factory at Marignane, Marseille. After modification it was passed to the Centre d'essais en vol (CEV) for further testing which continued from December 1948 to April 1949. Following the cancellation of the SE-1200 project, testing of the SE-1210 was abandoned, with it being flown for the last time in March 1951, with the flying boat being scrapped in 1952.

Barrow Jute Works. The Barrow Jute Works was a jute and flax mill located in Barrow-in-Furness, Lancashire (now Cumbria), England during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The mill was built for the Barrow and Calcutta Jute Company which was founded by James Ramsden in 1870 in an attempt to diversify Barrow's economy which was heavily focused on iron and steel production. The Jute Works itself was designed by architects Paley and Austin and occupied over 12-acres with a  facade on Hindpool Road and  along Abbey Road. The mill was served by its own railway station on a branch of the Furness Railway which connected it to the town's docks, steelworks and cornmill.

The mill's all female workforce peaked at 2,000, many of whom were Irish immigrants. The jute fabrics produced were used for a wide range of items including telegraph cables, ropes and artificial hair, later including the production of Kalemeit for carpets, rugs and window drapery. The quality of produce was acknowledged in 1878 at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, France where the Barrow and Calcutta Jute Company was awarded a gold medal in the field.

Two fires damaged the works during its history - 1879 and 1892, the latter occasion destroying half of the mill that was never rebuilt. Competition from the Indian jute trade as well as the large jute works in Dundee led to the mill's ultimate demise. Barrow Jute Works' iconic chimney was demolished in 1930, followed by the offices in 1948.

The site is now occupied by Hindpool Retail Park having also previously contained the Barrow Corporation Bus Depot up until its demolition in the 1980s. The southernmost part of the site fronting Abbey Road contains the former John Whinnerah Institute and Lakeland Laundry building.

USS Banner (AKL-25). The USS Banner (AKL-25, then AGER-1) was originally U.S. Army FS-345 serving in the Southwest Pacific during the closing days of World War II as one of the Army's United States Coast Guard crewed ships. In 1950 the ship was acquired by the Navy and converted into a light auxiliary cargo (AKL). In 1967 the ship was converted for electronic intelligence and reclassified as Auxiliary General Environmental Research (AGER).

Construction
Banner was built as a Design 381 coastal freighter for the United States Army as U.S. Army FS-345 at Kewaunee Shipbuilding and Engineering Corporation, Kewaunee, Wisconsin, United States.

History
U.S. Army FS-345 was Coast Guard manned during World War II, commissioning at Kewaunee 26 July 1944. The vessel was assigned to the Southwest Pacific Area operating there and moving north with Allied advances to Guam and finally Manila, being anchored there 1 July 1945 – 31 August 1945.

The ship was acquired by the Navy on 1 July 1950 and placed in service by the Military Sea Transportation Service and sometime before 20 August 1952 designated as T-AKL-25. On 5 September 1952 T-AKL-25 was renamed Banner and then, on 24 November 1952, at Pearl Harbor, T.H. commissioned as USS Banner (AKL-25). The ship was assigned to Service Division (ServDiv) 51, Service Force, Pacific Fleet, supplying advanced Pacific bases until assigned regular duty in the Mariana Islands supplying bases in those islands as well as at Chichijima and Hahajima from Guam with occasional trips to Japan or Hong Kong.

On 25 July 1965 Banner departed Guam for the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard where from August to October 1965 she was converted to an "environmental research ship." In reality, the ship was converted to a SIGINT platform. Banner returned to Japan in 1966 operating out of Yokosuka where she was redesignated AGER-1 on 1 June 1967.

Banner operated with USS Pueblo (AGER-2) and USS Palm Beach (AGER-3) gathering signals intelligence for the remainder of her career. In mid-1969 Banner was found unfit for further service and decommissioned at Yokosuka, Japan, on 14 November 1969 and struck from the Naval Vessel Register on the same day. The ship was sold for scrapping on 5 June 1970 to Mitsui & Co., Tadotsu, Japan.

Rapyuta. Rapyuta is the online database for the RoboEarth Cloud Engine which is a platform as a service (PaaS). The database, which is part of the European RoboEarth Project, is used as an open-source tool for developers creating robotic applications in the cloud platform. It is designed to allow robots to query the database to learn about their environment, build, as well as providing guidance systems. Rapyuta project lead was Mohanarajah Gajamohan.

Background 
The name Rapyuta is derived from the Hayao Miyazaki's anime, Castle in the Sky. In the film, there is a place called Rapyuta, which was inspired by Jonathan Swift's island of Laputa, where all robots live. The stated purpose of the project is[T]he goal of RoboEarth is to allow robotic systems to benefit from the experience of other robots, paving the way for rapid advances in machine cognition and behavior, and ultimately, for more subtle and sophisticated human-machine interaction. In simple terms, Rapyuta is considered an online brain that describes unfamiliar objects to robots. Aside from helping users send their application to the cloud for processing, Rapyuta also enables robots to search for data (draw from the "experience" of other robots) that can help it perform its tasks. It uses a combination of ROS and WebSocket communication protocols so that the computing environment can be employed in three types of cases: private cloud, where the robots belong to a single entity; software-as-a-service, where multiple robots access ROS software applications run by Rapyuta; and, platform-as-a-service, where Rapyuta serves as a host to the developers' applications or a platform where they can be shared.

Lambach HL.I. The Lambach HL.1 was a one-off, simple tandem two seat trainer designed and built by members and ex-members of the Delft Student Aeroclub (DSA) in the Netherlands in the mid-1930s.

Design and development
When in the early 1930s members of the DSA were trying to bring down the costs of tuition they decided that in the absence of public finance they would build their own aircraft.  J.W.H. (Hugo) Lambach, a former DSA member,  was asked to design a machine which would be cheap to produce and operate. A group of about twenty-five students set about its construction; some members of Pander Aircraft, including their chief designer Theo Lock, also assisted from time to time.  Work began in the spring of 1934 and the Lambach HL.I made its first flight on 5 July 1935, piloted by Dick Asjes.

The HL.I was a cantilever low-wing monoplane with wings of constant chord and rounded tips. Its tail was conventional, with a braced straight-tapered horizontal tail mounted on top of the fuselage and a largely rounded vertical tail with a rudder which extended below the tailplane, moving within an elevator cut-out.

Its fuselage was round in section and tapered a little both forward and aft of the wings.  The front open cockpit was just ahead of the wing leading edge and the rear cockpit, from which the HL.I was flown solo and which had a short, faired headrest, was at about two-thirds wing chord. During early testing the HL.1 was configured as a single-seater; it was also initially powered by a 34 kW (45 hp) Szekely SR-3 three- cylinder radial engine installed with its cylinder heads exposed for air cooling, but this proved unreliable and was replaced by a 67 kW (90 hp) Pobjoy Niagara seven-cylinder radial, also with cylinders exposed. Both engines drove two-blade propellers.  The HL.1 had a fixed, conventional undercarriage with its mainwheels on tall, vertical, largely faired legs braced laterally by an inverted V pair of struts and longitudinally by trailing struts; there was also a tailskid.

Operational history

The HL.I was appropriately registered as PH-DSA on 1 January 1936.  In March the DSA transferred it to the Nationale Luchtvaartschool (National Flying School) at Ypenburg Airport where it served until the Germans invaded the Netherlands on 10 May 1940. The HL.1 avoided destruction by bombing which took many Dutch aircraft that day. The aircraft began to degrade after being moved out of its hangar by German forces and it was eventually handed back to the Technical University of Delft for instructional purposes, where it was dismantled.

Lambach HL.II. The Lambach HL.II was a single seat aerobatic biplane designed and built in the Netherlands to provide Dutch pilots in a local, annual competition with their own machine. It proved no match for contemporary Germany aircraft.

Design and development
There were no Dutch aircraft competing in the North Dutch Flying Club's  first international aerobatics competition held in Eelde in the spring of 1936; from a field of German and Dutch pilots, the best placed Dutchman came second, flying a British Tiger Moth. Hugo Lambach, who had already designed and helped build the Lambach HL.I at the Delft Student Aeroclub, was asked to produce an indigenous competitor. In January 1937 he set up a factory trading as Lambach Aircraft at Voorburg and by May the HL.II was designed and built, making its first flight on 4 May flown by Hein Scmidt Crans, the pilot who had come second in 1936.

The HL.II is a conventionally laid out biplane with single bay wings of constant chord and rounded tips.  These are mounted without stagger or sweep, braced with N-form interplane struts and a pair of similar form cabane struts. There are ailerons on both planes, externally connected.  The fin and rudder are rounded, the latter extending to the keel. The tailplane is mounted on top of the fuselage and the elevators have a cut-out for rudder movement.

The HL.II is powered by a 130 hp (97 kW) de Havilland Gipsy four cylinder inverted inline engine driving a two blade propeller.  Its lower fuselage is flat sided, the upper with rounded decking. Its cockpit, with a faired headrest, is placed just behind the trailing edge, where there is a round cut-out for enhanced visibility.  The HL.II has a fixed conventional undercarriage, with mainwheels on crossed axles supported by V-struts and with a tailwheel.

Operational history
There was little time to practice for the 1937 aerobatic event and Hein Schmidt Crans in the HL.II, faced with superior German aircraft, could only manage third place.  Things went even worse in 1938, with the Dutch machine in last place, overwhelmed by the Germans. With war approaching, there was no competition in 1939 and on 10 May 1940 the sole HL.II was destroyed at Ypenburg by German bombs.

Lambach Aircraft had an even shorter life; it closed within the year, as other aircraft manufacturers focused on military production.

A replica built by students of the Technical University of Delft flew in 1995 but was soon grounded by fatigue cracks in the wing roots.  It is now (2017) at the Aviodrome, Lelystad Airport, being restored to flying condition.

Heavy liquid. A heavy liquid is a solution or liquid chemical substance with a high density and a relatively low viscosity. Heavy liquids are often used for determination of density in mineralogy, for density gradient centrifugation and for separating mixtures.

Uses 

Common applications of heavy liquids include:
 Density gradient centrifugation
 Separating mixtures and sink/swim analysis
 Flotation process
 Determination of density

Toxicity 

The classical heavy liquids like 1,1,2,2-tetrabromoethane (Muthmanns solution), potassium tetraiodomercurate(II) (Thoulets solution), bromoform or diiodomethane which are used in mineralogy are very toxic. These toxic chemicals are avoided today in consideration of the fact that there are alternative water based, non-toxic heavy liquids like sodium polytungstate solutions. With this relatively new heavy liquid densities up to 3.1 g·cm−3 can be adjusted . Adding parts of pulverulent tungsten carbide increases the density to 4.6 g·cm−3.

List of common heavy liquids with density > 2.0 g·cm−3 

Mercury is the heaviest liquid at room temperature. But the heaviest liquid irrespective of temperature is liquid osmium (a rare metal) at its melting point (3033°C/5491.4°F), with a density of 22.59 g·cm−3, 1.65 times as heavy as mercury.

Air Creation NuviX. The Air Creation NuviX is a French double-surface ultralight trike wing, designed and produced by Air Creation of Aubenas. The wing is widely used on Air Creation trikes.

Design and development
The wing is a cable-braced, king post-equipped hang glider-style wing that was designed as an advanced, top-of-the-line wing for the Air Creation Skypper two-place trike, although it can also be fitted on the earlier Air Creation GT series of trikes as well. It comes in one size, with a wing area of .

The wing is made from bolted-together aluminium tubing, with its double surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. It has a span of  span wing, a nose angle of 130°, an aspect ratio of 6.0:1 and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. Like the similar Air Creation BioniX wing, the NuviX incorporates a unique "corset" system that allows the pilot to adjust the wing's trailing edge geometry in flight to optimize performance. This results in a large speed range and good handling characteristics in turbulence, without heavy roll control.

Diisobutylamine. Diisobutylamine is an organic compound with the formula .  Classified as a secondary amine, the molecule contains two isobutyl groups. This colorless liquid is a weak base that is useful as an inhibitor of bacterial growth, as a precursor to various fertilizers, and a corrosion inhibitor.

Applications

Environmental 
Diisobutylamine has been used in water flooding operations to control the growth of sulfate reducing bacteria. When water was treated with low concentrations of diisobutylamine, the microorganisms usually present were killed. This has wide environmental impacts, because even microorganisms resistant to normal bactericides were removed from the water by the diisobutylamine.

Diisobutylamine is also used as a precursor to various fertilizers, and it is produced when plants or agents in soil break down butylate fertilizers.

Industrial 
It is a precursor to the herbicide called butylate.

It is used as an agent to minimize corrosion in processes involving hydrocarbon streams which contain residual ammonia or amines.  Being more basic, diisobutylamine reacts preferentially with any mineral acids in the stream (i.e. HCl). Also because diisobutylamine is more basic, its conjugate acid is less acidic, leading to a less corrosive salt formed.

Another use of diisobutylamine is in preventing corrosion and cleaning surfaces containing titanium nitride (i.e. semiconductors in computer chips, solar panels, bioMEMS, etc.). When mixed with an oxidizing agent, water, and a borate species, the mixture can clean particles, residues, metal ion contaminants, and organic contaminants all without damaging the low-k dielectrics.

Diisobutylamine has also been used to help improve storage conditions of fuel oils. Commercial fuel oils are often subject to discoloration or formation of insoluble sludge during storage which causes a loss of value. However, when stored with amine salts containing diisobutylamine, the change in color or formation of sludge of the oil is significantly reduced.

Plastic polymers treated with basic species including diisobutylamine show rapid decrosslinking of the polymer network. This suggests that reworkable polymer materials could be formed that could easily be degraded and recycled.

Reactions
Diisobutylamine reacts with arylphosphonic dichlorides to give arylphosphonic amines.

Diisobutylamine reacts with dimethyldioxirane to give diisobutylhydroxylamine, as typical for oxidation of secondary amines to give hydroxylamines.
