Abtew Method. The Abtew Method is a remote sensing method for measuring evapotranspiration created by Wossenu Abtew in 1996. It is sometimes referred to as the radiative Abtew model.

Equation
The Abtew Method has advantages over other methods in that it only depends on solar radiation data. This is useful when modeling evaporation in areas where satellite remote sensing solar radiation data is the only data available.

The equation is represented as

where
  is evapotranspiration in millimeters/day
  is a dimensionless coefficient
  is solar radiation measured in MJ/m^2/day
  is latent heat of vaporization in  MJ/kg

Jean Gallier. Jean Henri Gallier (born 1949) is a researcher in computational logic at the University of Pennsylvania, where he holds appointments in the Computer and Information Science Department and the Department of Mathematics.

Biography
Gallier was born January 5, 1949, in Nancy, France, and holds dual French and American citizenship. He earned his baccalauréat at the Lycée de Sèvres in 1966, and a degree in civil engineering at the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées in 1972.
He then moved to the University of California, Los Angeles for his graduate studies, earning a Ph.D. in computer science in 1978 under the joint supervision of Sheila Greibach and Emily Perlinski Friedman. His dissertation was entitled Semantics and Correctness of Classes of Deterministic and Nondeterministic Recursive Programs.
After postdoctoral study at the University of California, Santa Barbara, he joined the University of Pennsylvania Department of Computer and Information Science in 1978. At Pennsylvania, he was promoted to full professor in 1990, gained a secondary appointment to the Department of Mathematics in 1994, and directed the French Institute of Culture and Technology from 2001 to 2004.

Contributions
Gallier's most heavily cited research paper, with his student William F. Dowling, gives a linear time algorithm for Horn-satisfiability.
This is a variant of the Boolean satisfiability problem: its input is a Boolean formula in conjunctive normal form with at most one positive literal per clause, and the goal is to assign truth values to the variables of the formula to make the whole formula true. Solving Horn-satisfiability problems is the central computational paradigm in the Prolog programming language.

Gallier is also the author of five books in computational logic,
computational geometry,
low-dimensional topology,
and discrete mathematics.

Vacuum metallurgy. Vacuum metallurgy is the field of materials technology that deals with making, shaping, or treating metals in a controlled atmosphere, at pressures significantly less than normal atmospheric pressure. The purpose of vacuum metallurgy is to prevent contamination of metal by gases in the atmosphere. Alternatively, in some processes, a reactive gas may be introduced into the process to become part of the resultant product. Examples of vacuum metallurgy include vacuum degassing of molten steel in steelmaking operations, vacuum deposition of thin metal layers in manufacture of optics and semiconductors, vacuum casting, vacuum arc remelting of alloys, and vacuum induction melting.

Hafnium disulfide. Hafnium disulfide is an inorganic compound of hafnium and sulfur. It is a layered dichalcogenide with the chemical formula is HfS2. A few atomic layers of this material can be exfoliated using the standard Scotch Tape technique (see graphene) and used for the fabrication of a field-effect transistor. High-yield synthesis of HfS2 has also been demonstrated using liquid phase exfoliation, resulting in the production of stable few-layer HfS2 flakes. Hafnium disulfide powder can be produced by reacting hydrogen sulfide and hafnium oxides at 500–1300 °C.

Taurob tracker. Taurob tracker is a mobile robot, manufactured by Taurob GmbH in Austria. It has been originally developed as a remote controlled reconnaissance platform for fire departments.
 but is currently used also by the military, civil-defense units, universities  and the oil and gas industry  around the world.

Since 2013 an ATEX Zone 1 certified variant, called Taurob Tracker Ex is available, which is able to drive in explosive atmospheres safely.

A taurob tracker version with sensors for environments with extreme smoke (e.g. fires in tunnels or subway stations) is currently being developed in the EU funded "SmokeBot" project

Specifications

Track assembly 

Compared to most other mobile robots, the taurob tracker has a unique track geometry which allows it to climb over obstacles with just one pair of tracks. Due this geometry the tracks do not lose their tension when raising or lowering the front wheels. Further advantages include improved traction (thus the name of the robot) on uneven ground and a rapid track exchange mechanism.

Notable appearances 

In 2016 a taurob tracker platform was used in the RoboCup Rescue League by team Hector.

In 2017 a variant of taurob tracker called "Argonaut" has won the ARGOS Challenge organised by Total Energies. It is the first fully autonomous, ATEX certified mobile inspection robot for Oil and Gas installations. According to Total it will be used on their industrial sites by 2020.

FIDYST. FIDYST is a proprietary simulation tool developed by the  that simulates fibers in turbulent flows. The name FIDYST is an acronym and means Fiber Dynamics Simulation Tool.

History 
In 1995 the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics started a research project in order to simulate the paper transport in a printing machine. The transport of papers in printing machines can be modelled as two-dimensional fluid-structure interaction problem. The equations describing the dynamics of the paper transport are derived from shell models based on continuum mechanics that are equivalent to rod models for fiber dynamics. In order to simulate nonwoven production processes the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics extended the Cosserat rod models by a stochastic drag model for fibers in turbulent flows. FIDYST demonstrated its proof of concept 2007. At the EDANA Symposium 2007 the industrial company Oerlikon Neumag presented a new pilot plant where FIDYST had successfully been applied to increase the tenacity of the produced nonwoven. In 2012 the software code was ported from C to C++. 2014 the interaction of fibers with machinery parts was introduced in FIDYST. The latest release of FIDYST can simulate staple fibers.

Application 
FIDYST simulates the dynamics of elastic, line shaped objects in a very general way. Hence, there is a broad spectrum of different applications for FIDYST. Of particular importance are production processes of technical textiles
. 
With FIDYST engineers simulate
 spunbond processes,
 meltblown processes, and
 airlay processes.
The simulations of the fiber dynamics are used to optimize the geometry of the production plant and the operating conditions. Goal of the optimization is an improved quality of the final product and reduced energy and raw material consumption at the same time.

FIDYST runs under Linux and Windows.

F. A. Fitzbayne. Frederick Andrew Fitzpayne AMIEE (1878-1935) was a British electrical and transport engineer responsible for building Scotland's first electric tram system and running the Edinburgh Corporation Tramway system.

Life

He was born in southern England on 23 September 1878. He was educated at All Saints School in Bloxham in Devonshire. He then studied electrical engineering at Faraday House in London receiving his diploma in 1897. He served an apprenticeship at Browett Lindley & Co in Manchester before moving to Southend-on-Sea to be involved in his first tramway project for the South London Electric Supply Corporation.

In 1900 he moved to Great Yarmouth working on the installation of electricity under a private company. In 1902 he entered municipal life, when the town council took over the role of installing electric street lights and a tramway. He was Chief Assistant overseeing these projects in both Great Yarmouth and Gorleston.

In 1906 he transferred to Leith Corporation in Scotland to oversee the installation there of Scotland's first electric tram, creating 6 miles of track. In 1909 he was promoted to General Manager of the Leith Tramways. In 1920 Leith and Edinburgh were amalgamated. In 1921 he became Deputy Transport Manager and in 1929 he became full Transport Manager for all Edinburgh. He was also General Manager of the Edinburgh Tramway Corporation. During this period Edinburgh's trams were converted from cable-drawn to electricity, and the rolling stock was changed from timber and iron to fully steel construction. Profit of the transport system increased by 50% in this period.

He lived at 5 Smiths Place, off Leith Walk.
In 1932 he chaired a national conference on motor transport held at the Atholl Palace Hotel in Pitlochry.

He died on 3 March 1935 and is buried in Rosebank Cemetery in northern Edinburgh. His toppled stone lies to the south of the Christian Salvesen monument.

Following his death, his house at Smiths Place was demolished to make way for a faux-Georgian infill by Ebenezer James MacRae operating as offices and social club for the teamworks (which were located to the rear).

Family

He was married to Emily Daisy Hall (d.1967).
His son, Eric Fitzpayne, was General Manager of Glasgow Corporation Transport.
In 1962 his grandson, Alan Fitzpayne, aged only 13, was given the honour of running the last tram through the streets of Clydebank.
