Urmila Ghia. Urmila Agarwal Ghia is an Indian-American mechanical engineer whose research involves computational fluid dynamics, and who is particularly known for her work on multigrid methods for incompressible flow. She is a professor emerita of mechanical engineering and materials engineering at the University of Cincinnati.

Education and career
Ghia is originally from northern India, and was encouraged in schooling by her parents. As a way of rebelling against tradition, she chose engineering over a career in medicine, and became a student at the University of Bombay despite heavy pressure to give up her spot there in favor of a male student. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in 1965, although by 1964 she had already traveled to Chicago to begin her graduate studies at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT).

She earned a master's degree at IIT in 1967 and completed her PhD there in 1971. Her doctoral dissertation was Incremental L2-norm stability of systems governed by nonlinear partial differential equations. At IIT, she met her husband, Kirti Ghia, an aerospace engineer from Bombay. Together, after finishing their degrees, they took faculty positions at the University of Cincinnati.

At Cincinnati, Ghia became director of the computational fluid dynamics laboratory, and in 1995 founded the university's Women in Science and Engineering program. She was acting vice provost for academic affairs in 1994–1995, and chair of the Department of Mechanical, Industrial, and Nuclear Engineering from 1995 to 2000, and chair of the Fluids Engineering Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 2007.

Recognition
Ghia is an ASME Fellow, elected in 2013. She is also a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

She was a 2006 winner of the MMAE Distinguished Alumni Award of the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Emily Warren (scientist). Emily Warren is an American chemical engineer who is a staff scientist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Her research considers high efficiency crystalline photovoltaics.

Early life and education 
Warren became interested in science as a child. At elementary school, she campaigned to save the rainforest. Warren was an undergraduate student at Cornell University, where she studied chemical engineering and became aware of the energy industry. She travelled to Nigeria for a course on sustainable development. She was a graduate student at California Institute of Technology. Her research considered the growth of silicon microwire arrays using vapor–liquid–solid methods. These strategies could be used to produce high aspect ratio structures that are efficient in photovoltaics and have a high surface area for use in catalysis and as electrodes in water splitting. After earning her doctorate, she briefly considered working in industry, but instead joined the Colorado School of Mines to work on solar thermoelectric generator projects.

Research and career 
Warren joined the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in 2014, where she started working on electrochemical measurements of semiconductor materials. Her research considers heteroepitaxy of III-V semiconductors. In particular, she is interested in how the nanostructure impacts coalescence and performance. 

Warren has worked on tandem solar cells, multi-layer devices that combine various photovoltaic materials of narrow and wide badgaps to form efficient multi-junction devices. Silicon is used as the bottom cell for many tandem solar cells owing to its high efficiency and well-established fabrication protocols. Warren used computational modelling to demonstrate that a three-terminal device, consisting of a top cell in series with an interdigitated back contact silicon cell with a conductive top contact, was more efficient than a two- or four-terminal device. She showed that it was possible to make highly efficient, highly stable all perovskite tandem solar cells.

S1 (Bern S-Bahn). The S1 is a railway service of the Bern S-Bahn that provides half-hourly service between  and  via . BLS AG, a private company primarily owned by the federal government and the canton of Bern, operates the service. The S1 is the oldest of the Bern S-Bahn routes, tracing its roots back to 1987.

Operations 
The S1 operates every half hour between  and  via . In Fribourg, the S1 makes a connection with the IC 1 or IR 15 for . In Thun, the S1 makes a connection with the IC 6 or IC 8 for  and . The S1 is joined between  and  by the S2, for a total of four trains per hour between those stops. The S2 makes local stops between  and , which the S1 skips. , most services are operated by BLS RABe 515 multiple units.

History 

Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) had run trains on a half-hourly schedule over the Lausanne–Bern and Bern–Thun railway lines since 1987. Trains ran between Thun and Flamatt every 30 minutes, continuing to either  or Fribourg. The service gained the designation "S1" on 28 May 1995 when the S2 began operating.

The S1 has continued relatively unchanged since then. The Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon-Bahn (BLS) assumed operation from the SBB in December 2004, and the S11 began running as a rush-hour supplement between Bern and Fribourg. Beginning in December 2008, the S11 was eliminated, and the S1 ceased serving Laupen BE: all trains continued to Fribourg on a half-hourly schedule. The re-routed S2 took over service between Flamatt and Laupen BE.

Marsh terrace. A marsh terrace is an artificially created berm that is built in a wetland to prevent erosion, reduce wave energy, and improve habitat for wildlife. Marsh terracing is most common throughout the upper Gulf Coast of the United States, where it is used to prevent coastal erosion, with 980 linear km (609 mi) having been built in Texas and Louisiana alone in the thirty years to 2020. The terraces catch sediment from rivers which is then colonized by plants to form marshland.

Construction and design 
The design of marsh terraces depends on the local conditions such as wave strength and wind speed. There are several commonly used patterns, including chevrons (duck wings), straight lines, and square grids. Chevrons are the most effective pattern as wind can blow from any direction but there will still be calm water on at least one side of the chevron.

One thing that must be considered is the type of soil, as some are more vulnerable to erosion than others. Soils heavy with clay and silt are more resistant than soils primarily composed of organic matter.

Terraces are often built in shallow coastal ponds that may have been former marshland that has eroded away over time. Large berms, usually two to five meters in width, are built with material that is either dredged at the site or brought in as fill from inland. The berms themselves are often only a meter in height above sea level which allows it to be occasionally inundated with water and create the proper coastal plant community.

Marshland terraces are a relatively new construction, so far has only been extensively used in the Gulf Coast of the United States. They were first built at the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge in 1990. In 2021, a plan to create marsh terraces in Virginia's Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge has been approved. This will be the first project of its kind to be done in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Results 
Being only constructed recently, there have not been a lot of published studies on the effects of marsh terracing. However, the existing results are promising. The terraces have a higher sediment accumulation rate compared to erosion, and are able to reduce wave strength by an average of 45%. The calmer waters allows sediment to settle which then promotes the growth of seagrasses which further hold down the sediment with their roots. Additionally, the terraces have been found to provide habitat for marsh wildlife such as seabirds and fish.

Honeywell TSCP700. Honeywell TSCP700 is a small turboshaft, used as auxiliary power unit on wide-body airliners.

Origin and use 

It was initially developed by Garrett AiResearch, for use as an APU for McDonnell Douglas DC-10. Garrett was merged into AlliedSignal in 1985, then into Honeywell in 1999. Honeywell still provide support for the TSCP700's in circulation. Besides the DC-10, it is also used as APU on the MD-11 and Airbus A300/A310.

Design 

TSCP700 provides a mechanical output of 105 kW (for TSP700-5 version used on Airbus aircraft). It has a two-shaft architecture. The compressor design is quite peculiar, as the LP compressor is axial and the HP compressor is centrifugal. After the HP compressor, air is fed to a combustion chamber, and blown through two turbines. The first high-pressure turbine drives the HP compressor and provides the "useful" output (driving, e.g., a power generator), while the second, low-pressure turbine drives the LP compressor shaft.

Derivative 

A small geared turbofan named Garrett TFE731 was developed from TSCP700, borrowing its internal parts. It was successfully marketed for business jets and military trainer aircraft.
