Alfred Moore (engineer). Alfred Moore (c. 1826 – 17 July 1904) was an English civil engineer primarily involved in waterworks. He obtained his engineering training under John Frederick Bateman and worked alongside him for much of his career.

Career 

On completing his pupillage with Bateman, Moore stayed on as an assistant. He was a Resident Engineer on the majority of Bateman's projects.

Early works 

After finishing his training with Bateman he worked as Assistant on the Manchester and Warrington waterworks.

Loch Katrine and Mugdock Reservoir 

In 1852 Bateman was consulted by Glasgow Council in regard to its water supply. In 1854, on Bateman's advice, a bill was obtained to supply water to Glasgow from Loch Katrine. Moore was appointed alongside the more famous James Morris Gale as Resident Engineer and resided in the nearby house of Heatherbank, Milngavie.

Work on Mugdock Reservoir commenced in 1855. The Loch Katrine end was officially opened by Queen Victoria in October 1859, however Moore continued to work on Mugdock Reservoir until 1865.

The waterworks were extended by adding Craigmaddie Reservoir, however this work was completed solely under the attention of Gale.

Describing the entire waterworks, Gale commented that they were as worthy to "bear comparison with the most extensive aqueducts in the world, not excluding those of ancient Rome".

Woodburn Reservoirs (Belfast) 

Moore was elected a Member of the Institution of Civil Engineers on the 15 May 1866 and in the same year began expansion work on the Belfast waterworks as the Resident Engineer. The original reservoirs were constructed in the 1840s however following the parliamentary Belfast Water Act 1865 (28 & 29 Vict. c. clxxxix) there was a need to expand the works with construction of reservoirs to the North at Woodburn, and increase storage within Belfast. The works were completed in 1870.

South America 

In 1870 he went to Buenos Aires to represent Bateman in connection with the works for the water-supply and drainage of the city. The Buenos Aires waterworks were predominantly designed by John Coghlan, however Moore was resident engineer managing much of the construction. Also while there he constructed the Catalinas Mole. These works occupied him in South America for several years.

Later works 

On returning from South America, he revisited some of his earlier works, extending the water supply at Warrington. He then went on to work under George Henry Hill designing plans for the Thirlmere scheme  for the supply of water to Manchester.

Alongside Bateman he helped develop the device known as Bateman and Moore’s Firecock, which was adopted in many large cities and towns.

Death 

He died suddenly at his residence, Holmleigh, Alderly Edge, on 17 July 1904, aged 78. He had no partner or children.

Molly Morse. Molly Morse is an American civil engineer who is the CEO of Mango Materials, a start-up based in San Francisco Bay Area. Mango Materials uses methane gas to feed bacteria which manufacture a biopolymer.

Early life and education 
Morse completed her undergraduate studies in civil and environmental engineering at Cornell University. She moved to Stanford University for her doctoral research, where she studied anaerobic biodegradation of biocomposites for the building industry.

Scientific career 
Morse joined Bryant & Bryant, LLC, where she researched alternative building materials.

Morse became concerned about the build up of non-biodegradable plastic in the environment. These plastics can pollute natural resources and damage ecosystems. She recognized that waste methane could be converted into biodegradable plastics that achieve similar functionalities to paraffin-based plastics. In microbial rich environments, these biodegradable plastics break down, producing methane which can once again be converted into a biodegradable plastic (Polyhydroxyalkanoates). She launched the company Mango Materials in 2010, which was named as one of the Next 50 Companies to Disrupt the World by Biofuels Digest in 2022.

Morse was awarded the 2018 US Clean Energy Education and Empowerment (C3E) Initiative Entrepreneurship Award.

KAI RQ-101 Songgolmae. The KAI RQ-101 Songgolmae () is a South Korean military unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) and the Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) in 2000. RQ-101 is an unarmed UAV designed for corps commanders and has been deployed and serviced by the South Korean Army since 2002 to collect military intelligence. It was officially given the name Songgolmae (, "peregrine falcon").

Development and Design
The South Korean Army was using Searcher UAVs, which were introduced from Israel. In 1991, South Korea began developing its own UAVs for use in ground surveillance and reconnaissance operations by Corps-level units of the South Korean Army. Exploratory development of South Korean military UAVs was carried out from 1991 to 1992, and system development began in 1993, and operational tests were conducted to verify performance until 1997, and the development was officially completed in 2000. Officially, it is not known how many RQ-101s are in service with the South Korean Army. According to public sources, there were several dozen in 2017.

The RQ-101 has a wingspan of 6.4 meters (21 ft) and a total length of 4.7 meters (15 ft) and is made of high-strength, light carbon fiber and glass fiber composites. The 52-horsepower (39 kW) engine accelerates the propeller-driven device to a maximum speed of  and a cruising speed of . The maximum altitude is about 4,500 meter (14,800 ft). The aircraft can stay in the air for about six hours and cover a radius of  to . The gross weight is , the maximum take-off weight is , and it has a payload weight of  for military operations.

The aircraft is equipped with electro-optics (EO), forward-looking infrared (FLIR), GPS/INS navigation, and line of sight (LOS) data link for surveillance and reconnaissance and real-time target acquisition. By default, the aircraft has an HD video camera that can send live images.

Improvements
The performance improvement project was carried out from 2009 to 2011, and the hardware of the mission equipment and ground control equipment was upgraded, and three minor improvements were made until 2015. However, the RQ-101 is no longer undergoing performance improvement due to lack of additional development budget, and the Korea Aerospace Industries is currently developing a next-generation UAV named the NCUAV to replace the RQ-101 since 2012.

Belgian Railways Class 08. The AM/MS08 series is a three-part electric multiple unit of the Siemens type Desiro Main Line (Desiro ML), a so-called lightweight train with a low-floor section for regional passenger transport and local passenger transport for the National Railway Company of Belgium(SNCB/NMBS). They were originally intended for the Brussels Regional Express Network but have been deployed on L (local), S-train and IC (InterCity) train services across Belgium.

History 
In 2008, the board of directors of the Belgian national railway company NMBS decided to purchase 305 electric multiple units of the "Desiro ML" type from Siemens. With a value of 1.291 billion euros, this is the largest investment file ever for the NMBS. The ordered carriages have a total of 85,400 seats and were delivered between the spring of 2011 and the end of 2016, at a rate of five to eight sets per month.

The train set was developed by Siemens Mobility from the Desiro MainLine intended for the north western Germany region. Siemens Mobility built 105 trainsets, with the remaining 200 sets built by Bombardier Transportation at their Brugge facilities.

During the open days of the NMBS workshops over five weekends from September 24 to October 23, 2011, the trainsets were officially presented to the public.

On 1 October 2013, the NMBS requested guarantees from Siemens in response to the worldwide announced personnel adjustments of the German multinational and whether this would have any consequences for the delivery and follow-up of 305 trains to the NMBS as well as the quality follow-up of 120 locomotives already delivered.

On March 19, 2015, the trainsets 08594 and 08595 were the last of a total of 305 trainsets delivered to NMBS by Siemens Mobility.

Interior 

They have provisions for accommodating wheelchairs and strollers and for storing bicycles. The seats are for the most part in a coach arrangement. Overhead luggage racks are also provided. There are 230V~ sockets for connecting a laptop or a phone charger. Mobile Internet reception has been severely weakened by the electromagnetic shielding of three-layer glass and the thermal insulation of the walls. In the first class, the seats have folding tables. There is also a toilet, with wheel-chair access.

The exterior doors only open when the traveller presses the "open" button. These doors have a motion sensor that automatically closes them when no people are detected for more than five seconds. This is to promote the proper functioning of the climate control system. There are no interior doors, but there are fire doors between the carriages that close automatically in the event of a fire.

FO(.). In computer science, FO(.) (a.k.a. FO-dot) is a knowledge representation language based on first-order logic (FO). It extends FO with types, aggregates (counting, summing, maximising ... over a set), arithmetic, inductive definitions, partial functions, and intensional objects.

By itself, a FO(.) knowledge base cannot be run, as it is just a "bag of information", to be used as input to various generic reasoning algorithms. Reasoning engines that use FO(.) include IDP-Z3, IDP and FOLASP. As an example, the IDP system allows generating models, answering set queries, checking entailment between two theories and checking satisfiability, among other types of inference over a FO(.) knowledge base.

FO(.) has four types of statements:
 Type, function and predicate declarations,
 Axioms, i.e., logic sentences about possible worlds,
 Definitions that specify a unique interpretation of a defined symbol, given the interpretation of its parameters. Definitions can be inductive.
 Enumerations, i.e., definitions of symbols by enumeration.

Example
A voting law specifies that citizens must be at least 18 years old to vote.  Furthermore, if the voting law is interpreted as being prescriptive, voting is mandatory when you are over 18. This can be represented in FO(.) as follows:

vocabulary V {
  age: () → ℤ                             // function declaration
  prescriptive, vote: () → 𝔹              // predicate declarations
}
theory T:V {
  age() < 18 ⇒ ¬vote().                   // axiom: if you are less than 18, you may not vote.
  prescriptive() ⇒ (age() ≥ 18 ⇒ vote()). // axiom: if prescriptive: if you are at least 18, you must vote
}

In this code, A→B indicates a function from A to B,  denotes integers,  denotes the booleans, ¬ denotes negation, and ⇒ denotes material conditional. Predicates < and ≥ are built-in and have their usual meaning.

Such knowledge base can be turned automatically into an Interactive Lawyer (see here)
