Brad McRae. Brad McRae (1966 – 2017) was an American wildlife ecologist.

Education and early career
McRae studied electrical engineering at Clarkson University, and received a bachelor's degree in 1989. After working as an engineer in New York for four years, he moved to the University of Wisconsin–Madison to study wildlife ecology under Stanley Temple, and received a Master of Science degree in 1995. 

He then worked for the Okanagen-Wenatchee National Forest for three years, before beginning a PhD at Northern Arizona University. For his dissertation, under Paul Beier, he studied the landscape genetics of the puma or mountain lion (Puma concolor) in the neighboring regions of the United States.

Puma landscape genetics study
In studying the landscape genetics of the Puma, McRae chose to model gene flow across a fragmented landscape as following the same rules for electrical conductance in a complex circuit with many resistors of varying values. This model allowed gene flow to occur across multiple paths in the landscape in proportion to their "resistance", calculated in an electrical circuit using Kirchhoff's laws. This model was different from the paradigm at the time, which assumed that gene flow would occur along the single "least cost" path. McRae's model, published chiefly in three papers between 2006 and 2008, became influential within wildlife population genetics and conservation biology. At the time of McRae's death in 2017, the three papers had been cited more than 1700 times, and a software package written by McRae implementing his model had been used in more than 200 academic papers. In an obituary, his model was described as having become the dominant paradigm for landscape genetics by 2009.

Postdoctoral career
After completing his doctorate, McRae worked as a postdoctoral researcher for the US Environmental Protection Agency, and subsequently took another postdoctoral position at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis in Santa Barbara. In 2008, he began working at The Nature Conservancy, where he worked on land management and increasing habitat connectivity for wildlife.

Death
McRae died in July 2017 of stomach cancer, five months after being diagnosed with the disease. He had a wife and two children.

Dental cermet. Dental cermets, or silver cermets, are a type of restorative material dentists use to fill tooth cavities.

Silver cermets were created to improve the wear resistance and hardness of another type of filling material, glass ionomer cements, through the addition of silver. While the incorporation of silver achieved this, cermets have poorer aesthetics, appearing metallic rather than white. Cermets also have a similar compressive strength, flexural strength, and solubility as glass ionomer cements, some of the main limiting factors for both materials. Therefore, silver cermets are not a popular choice of restorative material.

Composition 
Silver cermets can come in two forms:

 Two bottles, one containing a powder and the other containing a liquid. The powder and liquid must be measured out individually and mixed together by hand.
 A capsule in which the cermet components have already been proportioned correctly. The capsule is shaken in an amalgamator to mix the components.

The powder contains silver and fluoroaluminosilicate glass particles; the silver and glass particles may be fused together or separate. Other components in the powder include titanium oxide which acts as a whitening agent to improve aesthetics.

The liquid is an aqueous solution of a co-polymer of either 37% acrylic or maleic acid, or both, and 9% tartaric acid.

When the liquid and powder are mixed, an acid-base reaction occurs, initiating setting of the cermet.

Properties

Fluoride release 
Like glass ionomer cements and dental compomers, silver cermets are able to release fluoride over a sustained period of time. However, the evidence suggests the fluoride releasing abilities of cermets are poorer than glass ionomer cements.

Adhesion 
Cermets are able to bond to tooth tissue similar to glass ionomer cements. Like glass ionomer cements, it is recommended that the tooth tissue is conditioned with polyacrylic acid (a weak acid) before application.

Wear resistance 
There is evidence that cermets have poor wear resistance when used to restore a large surface area. Therefore, it is advisable to limit their use to small restorations, particularly Class I cavities (see Green Vardiman Black Classification section on the Wiki page for Dental Restoration).

Radiopacity 
The added silver imparts radio-opacity to cermets which aids radiographic detection of recurrent caries at a future date.

Clinical application 
Silver cermets have performed poorly in clinical practice despite their theorised advantages over glass ionomer cements. As such, they are no longer a popular choice of material and it is unclear whether cermets will continue to be used.

Meagan McGrath. Meagan McGrath (born 1977) is a Canadian aerospace engineer, mountaineer and explorer. She has climbed the world's top seven summits, visited the North Pole and she is the first Canadian to ski unassisted to the South Pole.

Life
McGrath was born in Toronto, Ontario, but grew up in Sudbury, Ontario. She studied chemistry at the Royal Military College of Canada and became an aerospace engineer employed to the Canadian armed forces. McGrath went on a chance visit to Kilimanjaro and was intrigued by the experience and decided to try more challenges.

McGrath has climbed the highest summits on seven continents including Mount Everest. When she was descending from Everest she led the rescue of another mountaineer. It was on 21 May 2007 and she rescued Nepali Usha Bista. She was selected as a 2011 recipient of the Sir Edmund Hillary Foundation of Canada Humanitarian Award for her rescue. The award recognises a Canadian who has personally or administratively contributed a significant service or act in the Himalayan Region of Nepal.

She then negotiated with her employers to have a year off to try and climb the top five summits and to walk and ski to the South Pole. She completed the trek on Jan 16, 2010.

She has now climbed the seven continent's top summits, visited the North Pole and she is the first Canadian to have skied unassisted to the South Pole.

Awards
In 2011 she was given the Sir Edmund Hillary Foundation of Canada Humanitarian Award.
In 2012 she received an honorary doctorate from Laurentian University.

Ferrophosphorus. Ferrophosphorus is a ferroalloy, an alloy of iron and phosphorus. It contains high proportion of iron phosphides, Fe2P and Fe3P. Its CAS number is 8049-19-2. The usual grades contain either 18 or 25% of phosphorus. It is a gray solid material with melting point between 1050-1100 °C. It may liberate phosphine in contact with water. Very fine powder can be combustible.

Ferrophosphorus is used in metallurgy as a source of phosphorus for alloying, for deoxidizing the melt and for removal of unwanted compounds into slag.

Ferrophosphorus is a byproduct of phosphorus production in submerged-arc furnaces from apatites, by their reduction with carbon. It is formed from the iron oxide impurities.

Addition of ferrophosphorus is used to produce powder metallurgy (P/M) steels with favorable magnetic properties, e.g. high saturation induction. Iron phosphide acts here as a solid solution hardener and a sintering aid. Usually about 0.45 w/o of phosphorus is added to iron; higher amount can improve magnetic properties but at above about 0.8 w/o the process parameters have to be too tightly controlled to prevent phosphorus segregation on grain boundaries and resulting excessive brittleness.

Ferrophosphorus can be added to cast iron, where the phosphorus improves fluidity and therefore quality of the castings, can increase wear resistance and cutability. In steels its addition to some alloys can improve corrosion resistance.

Ferrophosphorus can be used as a construction aggregate for production of high-density concrete for radiation shielding, as an alternative to usually used steel punchings and shot. It can be used with both Portland cement and magnesia cement.

Ferrophosphorus, reacted with sulfur or pyrite, is used for production of phosphorus pentasulfide.

Ferrophosphorus can be used for production of lithium iron phosphate, necessary as electrode material for LiFePO4 batteries.

Ferrophosphorus can be used instead of zinc powder in some paints and coatings. It has good adhesion, anticorrosive properties, electrical and thermal conductivity, and wear resistance.

Ferrophosphorus can be used as a reducing agent to produce sodium or potassium from sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate.
