Christi Luks. Christi Patton Luks is an American chemical engineer who is the incoming president-elect of the American Society for Engineering Education. She is a teaching professor at the Missouri University of Science and Technology. Luks worked at the University of Tulsa for over twenty years.

Education 
Luks received a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Texas A&M University. She completed a master's degree in applied mathematics and a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Tulsa. Her 1993 dissertation was titled, Solute Separabilities in Solvent Gas-Rich Liquid-Liquid-Vapor Systems Topographical and Molecular Consideration. Kraemer D. Luks was her doctoral advisor.

Career 
Luks began her academic career at the University of Tulsa, where she spent over twenty years teaching and contributing to the chemical engineering field. During her tenure, she made the uncommon choice to focus on teaching rather than the more traditional research-intensive career path. This decision was considered unconventional at the time, but she embraced it as an opportunity to concentrate on her strengths in teaching and mentoring students.

In 2014, Luks joined the faculty at Missouri University of Science and Technology (S&T) as an associate teaching professor in the departments of chemical and biochemical engineering. She advanced to the rank of teaching professor in 2019. Her work at S&T also includes serving as the associate chair of the Linda and Bipin Doshi Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering.

Luks has been actively involved with the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) since attending its conference in Rolla, Missouri, in 1998. Over the years, she has chaired and presented at numerous ASEE events and has been recognized for her efforts with several awards. She held leadership roles within the organization, including vice president for professional interest councils from 2021 to 2022 and vice president for member affairs, a position she held as of 2024. In March 2024, Luks was elected president-elect of ASEE. She will officially began her term following the organization's annual conference in Portland, Oregon, in June 2024, and will assume the role of president after the 2025 ASEE annual conference in Montreal. Luks will be the first teaching-focused, non-tenured professor to lead the organization.

In addition to her involvement with ASEE, Luks was elected a fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers in 2020 and serves as the president of Omega Chi Epsilon.

Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Company. Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Company is an American iron casting and pipe manufacturing company.

History 
In 1901, piping and heating contractor W. Frank Dowd established the Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Company in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. The foundry operated with 25 employees and cast iron soil pipes and fittings.

The company focused its efforts on iron casting for much of its early history. It mechanized its foundry operations in the 1950s. Following World War II, demand for plastic piping rose dramatically. The company studied the merits of producing plastic pipes, encouraged by the alteration of building codes to accommodate plastic pipes, opened a facility to produce them in 1967 in Union County. In 1992, the firm began producing industrial plastics.

In 2022 the company purchased Neenah Foundry, an iron castings firm based in Wisconsin. In 2023 the company relocated its main foundry operations out of Charlotte to a new facility in Oakboro, North Carolina.

Operations 
Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Company is a privately held company headquartered in Charlotte. It operates a foundry in Oakboro, North Carolina and six plastics plants in the United States.

Thorium dicarbide. Thorium dicarbide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula ThC2.

Preparation 

Thorium dicarbide can be produced by reacting metal thorium and graphite at 2000~2500 °C:

Properties

Physical 

Thorium dicarbide is a yellow crystalline solid that decomposes in water. It ignites at 2773 °C and becomes superconducting at 9 K. At room temperature it has a monoclinic crystal structure with the space group C2/c (space group no. 15). At temperatures between 1430 °C and 1480 °C it exists in a tetragonal phase and above that in a cubic crystal structure.

Chemical 

Thorium dicarbide can be rapidly hydrolyzed in the air to generate thorium dioxide, hydrogen and hydrocarbons. Its reaction rate is 10 times that of the corresponding uranium dicarbide. It can also react with acids, such as sulfuric acid, to generate thorium(IV) sulfate.

Gleam (programming language). Gleam is a general-purpose, concurrent, functional high-level programming language that compiles to Erlang or JavaScript source code.

Gleam is a statically-typed language, which is different from the most popular languages that run on Erlang’s virtual machine BEAM, Erlang and Elixir. Gleam has its own type-safe implementation of OTP, Erlang's actor framework. Packages are provided using the Hex package manager, and an index for finding packages written for Gleam is available.

History 
The first numbered version of Gleam was released on April 15, 2019. Compiling to JavaScript was introduced with version v0.16. 

In 2023 the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation funded the creation of a course for learning Gleam on the learning platform Exercism.

Version v1.0.0 was released on March 4, 2024.

Features 
Gleam includes the following features, many common to other functional programming languages:
 Result type for error handling
 Immutable objects
 Algebraic data types
 Pattern matching
 No null pointers
 No implicit type conversions

Example 
A "Hello, World!" example:
import gleam/io

pub fn main() {
  io.println("hello, world!")
}

Gleam supports tail call optimization:
pub fn factorial(x: Int) -> Int {
  // The public function calls the private tail recursive function
  factorial_loop(x, 1)
}

fn factorial_loop(x: Int, accumulator: Int) -> Int {
  case x {
    1 -> accumulator

    // The last thing this function does is call itself
    _ -> factorial_loop(x - 1, accumulator * x)
  }
}

Implementation 
Gleam's toolchain is implemented in the Rust programming language. The toolchain is a single native binary executable which contains the compiler, build tool, package manager, source code formatter, and language server. A WebAssembly binary containing the Gleam compiler is also available, enabling Gleam code to be compiled within a web browser.

John Trump (engineer). John Trump  (1858 – 1941) was a British engineer in British Malaya from 1878 to 1914, and served as head of the Public Works Department of the Federated Malay States.

Career 
John Trump began his career in 1878, aged 20, when he joined the Ceylon Public Works Department where he remained for five years.

In 1883, Trump went to Perak as officer commanding the 2nd Division of the Ceylon Pioneers. In 1886, he was appointed District Engineer of Kinta, was later promoted to Deputy State Engineer, and in 1901 was appointed to the substantive position of State Engineer.

In 1904, Trump was appointed as Acting Director of Public Works for the Federated Malay States, and in 1908 was promoted to head the department as Director. One of his achievements was working on the completion of the 21-mile long Krian Irrigation Canal in Perak which cost $1.6 million. In his final report as Director in 1914, he confirmed that $10.4 million had been spent on public works in the Federated Malay States in the preceding year, the highest expenditure being on expansion of the road network.

In 1914, he retired to England and died in London in 1941.

Honours 
In 1914, he was awarded the Imperial Service Order.
