Blohm & Voss P 194. The Blohm & Voss P 194 was a German design for a mixed-power Stuka or ground-attack aircraft and tactical bomber, during World War II.

History
Along with the P 192, P 193, and P 196, the P 194 was one of four designs Blohm & Voss submitted in response to a requirement issued by the RLM in February 1944 for a stuka or ground-attack aircraft and tactical bomber to replace the Junkers Ju 87.
 
In the event, the RLM decided not to go ahead with a new aircraft but instead to adapt the existing Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter to the tactical bomber role.

Design
Like several other designs by Richard Vogt, the P 194 featured an asymmetric arrangement. The layout was broadly similar to that of the BV 141: the crew and weapons were carried in a large nacelle offset from the main fuselage structure that carried a propeller-driven engine in the nose and the empennage at the rear, joined by a common wing. However, in the P 194, a turbojet was added low down at the rear of the crew nacelle and the thrust from this engine was intended to help balance the thrust from the propeller.

A powerful cluster of guns was to be located in the nose of the nacelle, clear of the propeller, and a bombload of up to 500 kg (1,100 lb) was to be carried in an internal bomb bay in the fuselage.

Using a high proportion of steel in its structure, the design of the P 194 was simplified by using a significant number of parts from other projects, notably the BV 155 prototype and earlier BV 237 asymmetric stuka proposal.

Variants
P 194.00-101version with 16 m (52 ft) wingspan and jet air intake under cockpit pod
P 194.01-02version with 15.3 m (50.2 ft) wingspan, bubble canopy and jet intake under cockpit pod 
P 194.02-01as above, but with turbojet located beneath cockpit
P 194.03-01as P 194.01-02, but with jet intakes located in the wing roots at the sides of the cockpit pod.

Guangzhou Science City. Guangzhou Science City (GSC; ) is a technology center developed with support from the Guangzhou government. It has emerged from the first-ever use of strategic urban planning in China. It integrates industrial, urban residential and commercial areas, forming one of the sub-urban centres within the polycentric metropolis of Guangzhou.

The Guangzhou municipal government continues to invest in the city and advocates R&D in IT sector and outsourcing industry.

Location
GSC is located in the west of Huangpu District of Guangzhou, right above Guangzhou High-tech Industrial Development Zone.

History 
The reasons for the establishment of GSC go back all to way to the 1990s. During this time, China's political system became more decentralized, giving its cities more room to manoeuvre and engage in detailed decision making. Since local officials were evaluated on indicators such as economic growth, cities began to grow more competitive. Initiatives for developing urban centres explicitly designed as environments suitable to technology-intensive companies sprung up all over the country. Although the first national-level High-Tech Industrial Development Zone was started in Guangzhou in 1991, high-tech output remained insufficient throughout the 1990s. In an effort to draw in human capital and more advanced technologies, plans for the Guangzhou Science City were formally announced in the year 2000.

These plans for the GSC were part of the larger "Concept Plan" for Guangzhou. As the old modus operandi of urban master planning became increasingly unattractive and regarded as inefficient, strategic urban planning became the model of choice for the Guangzhou government. With its focus on spatial planning and city marketing, the approach appeared more suited to solve the challenges of rapid urban growth and inter-city competition. 

Although the "Concept Plan" was announced in 2000, the idea for the GSC had been in the making much longer. First conceived by the municipal government in 1992, the State  Scientific and Technological Commission only approved the project in 1995. While the first plan focused on mostly industrial areas, the second and third plans (1998 and 2000) emphasised the integration of living, commerce and business incubation areas. Construction began in 2000, but the municipal government adjusted the plan almost annually. In 2010, the emphasis had shifted mainly towards innovation and dynamic synergies between cluster members. Since then, the focus of the GSC has been on electronic information, biological, pharmaceutical and environmental industries.

Doug Rickard. Doug Rickard (26 May 1939 – 7 May 2002) was an Australian-born space engineer.  He is known for his stories of engineering while at the Woomera Deep Space Station.  He died in 2002 from myelofibrosis caused by contact with cobalt-60 while working at the Maralinga nuclear test facility.

Some of his stories have been collected by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, whose logo he possibly inspired (although the logo was designed by Bill Kennard), under the title Memoirs of a space engineer.  Additional humorous engineering stories include hand-decoding images from Mariner 4 onto a sheet of graph paper since NASA JPL had only built a single display system, running a magnetic tape recorder 25 times over its rated speed to have enough bandwidth to record Ranger 9 video of its impact on the moon, and an impromptu excavation of Pompeii's plumbing systems.

Rickard also worked for some time for the Australian subsidiary of Digital Equipment Corporation. During that time he was seconded to Project Athena, the Campuswide Computing environment developed at MIT, with the specific responsibility of developing "Bones" a version of the Kerberos Authentication System, that did not relying on strong encryption, and as such would not require US Government approval for export.

Saxon V K. The Saxon Class V K were German  narrow gauge steam locomotives operated by the Royal Saxon State Railways which had been primarily intended for the Müglitztalbahn. In 1925 the Deutsche Reichsbahn incorporated arranged these locomotives as DRG Class 99.61.

History 
For the hilly line of the Müglitztalbahn from Mügeln to Geising-Altenberg the Sächsische Maschinenfabrik in Chemnitz developed an eight-coupled locomotive which, it was envisaged, would handle this route better that the hitherto deployed Saxon Classes I K and IV K. 
In 1901 and from 1905 to 1907 a total of nine locomotives were placed in service. Those built in 1905 had a slightly larger driver's cab. 

Whilst the new type of drive using Klien-Lindner axles allowed the  engines to negotiate tight curves, in the end the new Class V K proved just as complicated and maintenance-intensive as the tried and tested IV K. 

For that reason no more were procured, despite their better starting characteristics.

All nine engines, numbered 201 to 209 were taken over in 1920 by the Deutsche Reichsbahn and in 1925 were renumbered to  99 611 to 99 619.

Between 1934 and 1942 the locomotives were all retired. It is possible that several locomotives were left on the battlefields of the Second World War following duties at the front.

Technical features 
The boiler had the same dimensions as the Saxon IV K. The boiler feed was provided by two Friedmann injectors. The steam engine itself was a two-cylinder compound which drove the second coupled axle. The low-pressure cylinder on the right was set at an angle due to its large size. The first and fourth coupled axles were Klien-Lindner hollow axles which enabled an outside frame with Hall cranks.  Two pull rods arranged in a cross enabled the transverse movement of the two hollow axles to be set by the same amount.

For braking, the locomotives were originally equipped with a steam brake and counterweight brake. In addition the locomotives were fitted for Heberlein brakes. But by 1920 they were given the new Körting vacuum brakes for engine and train.

The water supplies were carried in side tanks; the coal was stored in a bunker behind the cab.

Duties 
The six locomotives went into service on the Müglitztalbahn. Even after the appearance of the more powerful VI K they remained on this route. After the conversion of the Müglitztalbahn to standard gauge in the 1930s the locomotives were transferred to other lines. They were used on the Mügeln and Thum railway networks and the Taubenheim–Dürrhennersdorf narrow gauge railway.

Stefan's equation. In glaciology and civil engineering, Stefan's equation (or Stefan's formula) describes the dependence of ice-cover thickness on the temperature history. It says in particular that the expected ice accretion is proportional to the square root of the number of degree days below freezing. It is named for Slovenian physicist Josef Stefan.

Splash zone. In offshore construction, the splash zone is the transition from air to water when lowering heavy burdens into the sea. The overall efforts applied on the crane change dramatically when the load starts touching water, up to the point where it is completely submerged. Its buoyancy reduces the static mass that the crane has to support, but contact with the waves creates widely fluctuating dynamic forces.

Simulation of these changing efforts are necessary to correctly dimension cranes and lifting equipment. See for example DNV-RP-H103 (Det Norske Veritas recommended practices) for a mention of the piston effect created in the splash zone between two walls.

Special made Access Tools are often made for doing inspections or maintenance in the splash zone, typical down to 15 m depth. This zone is very difficult to access for divers or remotely operated vehicles (ROV's) due to waves and current. Rigging of equipment in this zone also needs special precautions do to the same. By using Remotely Operated Equipment (Robots) that holds on to the structures, work and inspections can be done. Earlier this Zone was looked at as unaccessible.
