ICON Yachts. ICON Yachts is a Dutch shipbuilding company headquartered in Harlingen, Netherlands.

ICON Yachts is a highly specialized shipyard for yacht conversion and refit projects, which has established a leading position in the sector of Explorer yachts and purpose vessels.

Since 2021, Mr. Micca Ferrero, a prominent Swiss businessman, has owned the ICON Yachts group.

The shipyard 
The shipyard is located outside the historic port of Harlingen and it has unrestricted open-water access from locks and bridges. The yard facilities include a 150 x 33m covered and heated dry dock with a 7.5m maximum draft and a 90m long floating dock. ICON Yachts strategic site has been crucial in defining the company's specialization in conversions and refits.

Lloyd's Register awarded ICON Yachts ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications. Thus, since 2021, the shipyard uses 100% green energy and it was the first Dutch shipbuilding company to be awarded with the ISO 14001.

History
ICON Yachts was founded in late 2005 by the investor Ton Van Dam and Alex Shnaider, former F1 team owner and real estate investor. The founders were shortly after joined by business partners, who helped further the shipyard's growth.

In its early years, ICON Yachts launched several superyachts. In 2009, the 67.50 m (221.5 ft) superyacht Icon was launched in collaboration with the renowned British Yacht Designers Redman Whiteley Dixon, which carried out her exterior design. Afterward, ICON Yachts created Baton Rouge, Basmalina II and Party Girl.

In 2015, ICON Yachts launched MY LEGEND (77m), one of the shipyard’s greatest refit works. The original vessel, an ice-breaking tug named MV GIANT, underwent an extensive refit/conversion that was conducted at the Dutch shipyard in a short amount of time. Upon completion, the vessel was renamed MY LEGEND and she is now one of the first ice-capable yachts with Lloyds 1A Ice Class.

In August 2017, ICON Yachts signed a contract to convert the commercial motor vessel Sanaborg, a 68m icebreaker built by Koninklijke Niestern Sander, into a luxury superyacht. In 2020, in association with the UK design team RWD, ICON launched RAGNAR (68m), an eye-catcher Explorer Yacht that turned into the brand’s flagship piece.

Since 2020, Tony Gale has headed the company.

The shipyard is currently working on two massive 70-meter conversion projects, Project MASTER and Project UFO. The former, at a slightly more advanced stage, includes a collaboration with the world-famous designer and naval architect Espen Øino, who will be responsible for the superyacht's new appearances.

IMA Colibri. The 'Colibri' is a one-person light electric vehicle developed by Innovative Mobility Automobile in Jena, Germany.

Vehicle concept 

The Colibri's development stems from three general facts of current mobility behavior: the majority of people use individual transportation and on average cars are occupied by less than two people and travel daily distances of less than 55 kilometers (34 miles).

Distinct features of the Colibri are the frame made of magnesium, which is considerably lighter than comparable construction types, and an electrically powered seat which is designed to increase the driver's comfort when entering or exiting the vehicle.
Five other industrial companies and a university are involved in the development. R & D is subsidized by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. In 2012 the prototype was being built, while serial production was scheduled to start in 2014.

2013 World Premiere in Geneva

After successful completion of the prototype phase, the vehicle had its world premiere at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

Body
According to the manufacturer, it will be the first vehicle in its class (L7e) to successfully pass the Euro NCAP crash test – despite the low curb weight of 440 kg (970 lbs) including the battery. With the comparatively low-capacity battery holding 6.5 kWhrs of electric energy, ranges of up to 110 kilometers  (68 miles) per charge can be achieved, as well as short recharging time of two hours on a 220 V household socket or less than twenty minutes to 80% capacity on a fast charging station.
In addition, the Colibri will offer a fully enclosed cab and hence be weatherproof, unlike its already available competitor, the Renault Twizy. The trunk will offer 180 liters (6.35 ft³) of cargo volume.

Industry experts predict a significant market share potential for the Colibri; internationally, the vehicle is drawing some attention as well.

Performance 
Due to its low weight, the vehicle is expected to achieve a maximum speed of up to 74 mph (120 km/h) and accelerate to 60 mph (100 km/h) in under 10 seconds. In contrast to comparable vehicles like the Renault Twizy, the Colibri will utilize a two-gear automatic transmission to reduce energy consumption at higher speeds.

Costs 
The planned list price is set at €8,900  for the base version, including VAT but excluding the monthly lease rate for the lithium iron phosphate battery of €55 . Assuming an electricity price of €0.20  per kWh, total costs per kilometer driven would be €0.17, including vehicle depreciation, battery lease, maintenance, taxes, insurance and energy. Compared to the most cost-efficient city car which, according to the German ADAC, costs around €0.30, a light elective vehicle like the Colibri saves €0.13  / km. A compact car easily exceeds €0.40  / km.

TR-107. The TR-107 was a developmental rocket engine designed in 2002 by Northrop Grumman for the NASA and DoD-funded Space Launch Initiative (SLI).  Operating on LOX/RP-1, the engine was throttleable and  had a thrust of  at a chamber pressure of , making it one of the most powerful engines ever constructed.

History

The TR-107 was developed by TRW following the successful conclusion of the development program for the  TR-106 engine, a similar throttleable engine of about half the thrust burning LOX/LH2 instead of LOX / RP-1. Tom Mueller, then VP of Propulsion Development at Northrop, was project manager for both the TR-106 and TR-107 engines. 

In 2002, Mueller co-founded SpaceX with Elon Musk and became the VP of propulsion after cancellation of the SLI program.

Status
Northrop Grumman development of the TR-107 engine permitted consideration for potential use on next-generation launch and space transportation systems.

, no flight models are known to exist.

Robert L. Sumwalt (academic). Robert Llewellyn Sumwalt (July 8, 1895 – January 24, 1977) was an American engineer and academic, who was President of the University of South Carolina.

Sumwalt was born in Baltimore on July 8, 1895. He began undergraduate studies at Delaware College in 1914, belonged to the Sigma Nu fraternity there, and received a B.S. degree in 1918, for which his thesis was "The Design of A Type Emergency Mill Building".

Background
In 1919, he was serving in the Engineers Corps. He received from University of Delaware (the successor to the college) a professional degree for which he wrote a 1921 thesis on the construction of a mental hospital.

Pierre S. du Pont, who was a patron of the university, had in 1918 begun a correspondence with Sumwalt (which continued for decades, into the year of Du Pont's death), and assisted Sumwalt financially while he was earning his SBCE at MIT.

Sumwalt married Caroline Causey by 1927, and his son, Robert Llewellyn Sumwalt Jr, was born the next year.

Sumwalt joined the faculty of the  University of South Carolina as assistant professor in 1926, becoming full professor in 1931 and dean of the School of Engineering in 1943. He became the university's acting president in 1957, then president in 1959 and continuing to 1962.

After 36 years working at the university, he retired and was employed on the professional staff of the Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee.

UofSC has established chairs in mathematics and chemistry bearing his name and named a building within the college of engineering in his honor. Sumwalt died on January 24, 1977.

Trace-based simulation. In computer science, trace-based simulation refers to system simulation performed by looking at traces of program execution or system component access with the purpose of performance prediction.

Trace-based simulation may be used in a variety of applications, from the analysis of solid state disks to the message passing performance on very large computer clusters. 

Traced-based simulators usually have two components: one that executes actions and stores the results (i.e. traces) and another which reads the log files of traces and interpolates them to new (and often more complex) scenarios. 

For instance, in the case of large computer cluster design, the execution takes place on a small number of nodes, and traces are left in log files. The simulator reads those log files and simulates performance on a much larger number of nodes, thus providing a view of the performance of very large applications, based on the execution traces on a much smaller number of nodes.

Deletion channel. A deletion channel is a communications channel model used in coding theory and information theory. In this model, a transmitter sends a bit (a zero or a one), and the receiver either receives the bit (with probability ) or does not receive anything without being notified that the bit was dropped (with probability ). Determining the capacity of the deletion channel is an open problem.

The deletion channel should not be confused with the binary erasure channel which is much simpler to analyze.

Formal description 

Let  be the deletion probability, . The iid binary deletion channel is defined as follows:

Given an input sequence of  bits  as input, each bit in  can be deleted with probability . The deletion positions are unknown to the sender and the receiver. The output sequence  is the sequence of the  which were not deleted, in the correct order and with no errors.

Capacity 

The capacity of the binary deletion channel (as an analytical expression of the deletion rate ) is unknown. It has a mathematical expression. Several upper and lower bounds are known.

Dyott Bomber. The Dyott Bomber was a prototype twin-engined British biplane bomber aircraft of the First World War. Two examples were built but the type was not adopted for service.

Design and development
The American aviation pioneer George Dyott learned to fly in 1911, and after an extensive tour of North America, designed a small single-seat monoplane, the Dyott monoplane, which he had built by Hewlett & Blondeau of London in early 1913. In 1914, Dyott designed a large twin-engined biplane for exploration in South Africa. The design and its potential for use as a long-range bomber attracted the attention of the British Royal Naval Air Service, and Dyott modified the design for military use, with an order for two prototypes placed with Hewlett & Blondeau.

As completed the Dyott Bomber was a four-bay tractor biplane with equal-span wings. It was powered by two Beardmore 120 hp water-cooled six-cylinder engines which were mounted, without cowlings, between the wings. The aircraft had a fixed nosewheel undercarriage, with the nosewheel balanced by a large tailskid. It carried a crew of three, with a pilot and two gunners, in nose and dorsal positions.

The first prototype, serial number 3687, made its maiden flight at Chingford in August 1916, with the second prototype, serial number 3688 following in September. It proved to be underpowered and was fitted with  BHP engines, while the forward fuselage was deepened. Armament was increased to five Lewis guns, with two on spigot mounts in the nose gunners cockpit, two firing through the ports in the side of the nose and one in the rear gunners cockpit. The second prototype was sent to Dunkerque in France for service trials but no production followed.

Reeve Electric Association Plant. The Reeve Electric Association Plant, now known as the REA Power Plant Museum, is a historic structure located near Hampton, Iowa, United States.  In the 1930s only 10% of rural homes and farms in the United States had electricity.  The first mention of rural electrification in Hampton came in March 1936.

It was the first farmer-owned power plant in the United States to receive an REA grant in 1937 and in 1938 it was the second to go on-line.  There were four generators powered by diesel engines when the plant was in full production.  In 1988 the building was given to the Franklin County Historical Society.  It opened a rural and electrical museum in the former plant in 1990.  The same year it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2024.

BMW M328. The BMW M328 is an overhead valve straight-six petrol internal combustion engine which was produced from 1936 to 1940. It was a high-performance development of the BMW M78 engine that was produced alongside the M78.

Compared with the M78, the M328 has an aluminium cross-flow cylinder head with hemispherical combustion chambers.

The M328 was used in the BMW 328 and BMW 327/28 coupes.

After World War II the engine was also licensed to Bristol Cars in the United Kingdom.



Design 
The M328 had an unusual valvetrain design; although the camshaft is located in the engine block, the exhaust valves are actuated by a transverse pushrod from the intake valves. This results in a valve layout similar to a DOHC engine.

With a bore of  and a stroke of , the displacement was , the same as its M78 predecessor. Fuel supply was via three Solex "30 JF downdraft" carburetors.

The M328 engine has a compression ratio of 7.5:1 and produces  at 5000 rpm.

Ammonium orthomolybdate. Ammonium orthomolybdate is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula (NH4)2MoO4.  It is a white solid that is prepared by treating molybdenum trioxide with aqueous ammonia.  Upon heating these solutions, ammonia is lost, to give ammonium heptamolybdate ((NH4)6Mo7O24·4H2O).

Uses
Ammonium orthomolybdate is used as a corrosion inhibitor and is an intermediate in some schemes to win molybdenum from its ores.  It is also used for decorating ceramics, and for colorimetric analysis of phosphates and arsenates.

Chemical reactions
Heating ammonium orthomolybdate solid or treatment with acid gives molybdenum trioxide. Such reactions proceed via ammonium dimolybdate. This equilibrium is exploited in the purification of molybdenum from its ores.  Aqueous solutions of ammonium orthomolybdate react with hydrogen sulfide to give ammonium tetrathiomolybdate:
 (NH4)2MoO4  +  4 H2S   →    (NH4)2MoS4  +  4 H2O
It reacts with arsenic acid upon heating to form a canary yellow precipitate of ammonium α-Keggin molybdoarsenate.
 (NH4)2MoO4 + H3AsO4  →  (NH4)2[As(Mo3O10)4] + 21 NH4NO3 + 12 H2O

Aminomethylphosphonic acid. Aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) is a aminophosphonate with a weak phosphonic acid group.

Application
AMPA apparently can be used as biocide and pesticide. AMPA is also used in research to assess the exposure of glyphosate.

Environmental fate
AMPA is one of the primary degradation products of the herbicide glyphosate. In addition, it is a degradation product of other aminophosphonates, which have applications as antiscalant and water treatment.

AMPA was found in the final effluent of some wastewater treatment plants at concentrations of up to 10μg/l. AMPA can be detected after membrane filtration. AMPA has the potential to be broken down further by manganese oxide in laboratory conditions, however in soil manganese oxide is usually only present in trace amounts. Microbial degradation of AMPA is the more likely degradation pathway, where it degrades into phosphoric acid and ultimately to carbon dioxide and inorganic phosphate.

Toxicity
AMPA has toxicity which is comparable to that of glyphosate and it is therefore considered to be of similar toxicological concern (harmful in greater than 0.5 parts per million) as glyphosate itself.
