Ocean College, Zhejiang University. Ocean College is a college under Faculty of Engineering of Zhejiang University (ZJU). Located on the Zhoushan Island, it was the first ZJU institution outside of Hangzhou. The college participated in several national ocean science projects, including the development of Jiaolong submersible. The college offers both undergraduate and postgraduate education, but undergraduates of the college will study at Zijingang campus for the first two years. The colleges offers courses in marine biology, oceanography, underwater technology and offshore engineering.

History 
Founded as the Department of Marine Science and Engineering in 2009 in a collaboration with the Municipal Government of Zhoushan, Ocean College was launched in an agreement with the local government on 10 June 2012 to serve national ocean strategies including Zhoushan Archipelago New Area. Shortly after, the construction of the Zhoushan campus began. The college was formally established in 2013 and was moved into its Zhoushan campus in September 2015. The first batch of students were enrolled in September 2015 and the campus is expected to accommodate 4,000 students by 2025.

Campus 
The college has a dedicated Zhoushan campus on the island of Zhoushan. The campus was the sixth campus of ZJU and is located on the seashore between Lincheng New Area and the urban area of Dinghai district. The campus came into use on 9 September 2015.

Architectural design 
As the first ZJU campus outside of Hangzhou, the campus centres around the library, with the research cluster in the West and the residential cluster in the North. A sightseeing tower stands on the top of a hill in the centre of the campus. The campus buildings use the same white stone foundations and red brick exterior walls as those in Yuquan campus to represent the historic inheritance of the university.

Library 
The campus has a library dedicated to ocean sciences. Most of ocean science-related books at ZJU have been stored at this library since its foundation in September 2015. The Internet on the campus is part of the Internet within Zhejiang University. Students can borrow books from the main library of Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, which mails borrowed books to Zhoushan.

Training ship 
The training ship Zijingang, the first training ship owned by ZJU, is deployed at the campus. The ship is 29.8 metres long, 5.6 metres wide, with the draft of 1.3 metre. It can sail for 40 hours at its  maximum speed of 15 knots.

Naimi–Trehel algorithm. The Naimi–Trehel algorithm is an algorithm for achieving mutual exclusion in a distributed system.
Unlike Lamport's distributed mutual exclusion algorithm and its related version, this algorithm does not use logical clocks.
This method requires only O(log(number of processes in the network)) messages on average.
When a process invokes a critical section, it sends a request to a queue at a particular processor which is specified by a path built by the algorithm as it runs.

Algorithm Queen. Algorithm Queen is a 2022 painting of Queen Elizabeth II by Ai-Da, a humanoid robot credited with being the world's first ultra-realistic robot artist. Ai-Da painted the Queen in celebration of her Platinum Jubilee.

Description 

Algorithm Queen was layered and scaled to produce the final multi-dimensional portrait of the monarch. The portrait will be exhibited publicly in London later in 2022.

Ai-Da said, "I'd like to thank Her Majesty the Queen for her dedication, and for the service she gives to so many people. She is an outstanding, courageous woman who is utterly committed to public service. I think she's an amazing human being, and I wish The Queen a very happy Platinum Jubilee".

Aidan Meller, the robot's creator, said the first portrait of the Queen by a robot provided an opportunity to think about "all that has changed during the Queen's life”. He said, "We are excited Ai-Da Robot has made history just in time for the Queen's Jubilee".

Jonathan Jones, The Guardian's art critic, said the painting showed the Queen's eyes with "a vacant, not quite human look. The mixture of leaden accuracy and, at the same time, complete lack of emphasis, feeling or conviction in Ai-Da's depiction of Her Maj is a telling glimpse of the limits of the AI 'art' genre. The machine records, but does not see. Because it has no conscious mind, let alone emotions".

Oujiang Beikou Bridge. Oujiang Beikou Bridge () is a suspension bridge between Yueqing and Dongtou District, Wenzhou City, in Zhejiang Province, China. It is an important part of the Yongguan Expressway and China National Highway 228. It is the world's first three-tower four-span double-decked steel truss suspension bridge. The construction cost was 8.836 billion yuan (2022: ~ US$1.32 billion), and construction started on 30 November 2016. The main bridge was finished on 30 December 2021, and the upper floor was opened to traffic on 27 May 2022，lower floor was opened to traffic on 31 August 2022.

Design 
Due to the height limit of the nearby Wenzhou Longwan International Airport, the bridge tower could not be built too high, and if the bridge tower was built too low, it would affect the Ou River, so it was designed as the world's first three-tower four-span suspension bridge. The total length of the project is . The main bridge is arranged as a span of , plus the main span of 2 × , plus . The width of the upper deck is  and the width of the lower deck is . The headroom under the bridge is  and the bridge height is . The upper level is a two-way six-lane expressway, and the lower level is a two-way six-lane first-class highway.

SS Alfios (1920). SS Alfios, built as SS Bolivian, was a B-class standard cargo ship built by the British government and later operated by the Greek mercantile company Theofano Maritime.

Characteristics 
Alfios was a cargo freighter which had a gross register tonnage of 3,154 GRT which measured  long,  broad, and  tall. It was made of steel and was powered by three triple expansion engines made by Richardsons Westgarth which produced 517 nominal horsepower for a speed of 12 knots.

History 
The ship was built as Bolivian in 1919 at West Hartlepool, United Kingdom, by Irvine's Shipbuilding for Frederick Leyland & Company and was registered at Chios, Greece. In 1933, the ship became owned by N.G. Livanos and was renamed Alfios. Later that year, it was obtained by Theofano Maritime, who would operate the ship until it sunk in 1946.

On 24 April 1946, Alfios was in transit across the Atlantic Ocean from Glasgow to Halifax to pick up a shipment of pit props. While steaming near Sable Island, Alfios ran aground on a shallow spit of sand. A week after the ship was wrecked, on 1 May, HMCS Middlesex set out to rescue the 30 crew and 2 passengers stranded on Alfios. Middlesex successfully rescued everyone aboard, bringing them to safety in Ottawa.

By 1 June 1946 Alfios was still firmly aground in the place where it wrecked, with its breeches buoy rigged from the deck to the shore. In the 1980s, the wreck was still visible from the air, and its position was precisely mapped by a Canadian Hydrographic Service survey.
