Roode Els Berg Dam. Roode Elsberg Dam is a dam in South Africa and located on the Sanddrift River, some 10 km north west of the town of De Doorns in the Western Cape. The catchment is medium-sized (139 km2) and the dam functions primarily as storage for domestic and irrigation use. The dam completed in 1969, was designed, built and is owned by the Department of Water Affairs and operated by the Hex Valley Water Users Association.
The dam wall is a double curvature arch dam with an uncontrolled ogee spillway in the river section. An apron is provided at the toe of the spillway. A gallery system of two interconnected galleries in the dam body itself as well as five galleries into the foundation (two on the left and three on the right flank) provide drainage and pressure relief to the dam.

The main outlet works of the dam consists of an inlet structure on the left bank upstream of the dam wall. The inlet is controlled by a service gate. From the inlet a 1 890 mm diameter tunnel leads to a control room 91.44 m downstream of the inlet. The control room is accessed by a tunnel from the left bank downstream of the dam wall. In the control room the water flows through a 1 219 mm steel pipe.

Woodhead Dam. Woodhead Dam is a dam on Table Mountain, Western Cape, South Africa. It was built in 1897 and supplies water to Cape Town. The dam, which was the first large masonry dam in South Africa, was designated as an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2008.

History

In 1870, the growth of Cape Town led to shortages of drinking water. It was decided to build a reservoir on Table Mountain to provide water to the city.  Scottish hydraulic engineer Thomas Stewart was engaged to design and build the reservoir.

The Woodhead Tunnel was built between 1888 and 1891. It was used to divert the Disa Stream, a tributary of the Hout Bay River, westward to provide water for the reservoir.

An aerial cableway was constructed to transport men and materials to the construction site. The dam was constructed between 1894 and 1897. This dam was followed by four others in the area. The Hely-Hutchinson Dam and reservoir were built by 1904 just upstream of the Woodhead reservoir. The Alexandra Dam and Victoria Dam were built on the original Disa Stream by 1903. The last of the five dams was the De Villiers Dam in 1907. This was built downstream of the Alexandra and Victoria Dams. Today, these five dams supply around 0.4% of the water for Cape Town.

Design
The Woodhead Tunnel is  long. The Woodhead Dam is a masonry gravity dam that is  long and  high. It has a free overspill spillway with a capacity of 20 m3/s (706 ft3/s). The reservoir has a capacity of  and a surface area of .

Drive-level capacitance profiling. Drive-level capacitance profiling (DLCP) is a type of capacitance–voltage-profiling characterization technique developed specifically for amorphous and polycrystalline materials, which have more anomalies such as deep levels, interface states, or non-uniformities. 

Whereas in standard C–V profiles the charge response is assumed to be linear (dQ = CdV), in DLCP profiles the charge response is expected to have significant non-linear behavior (dQ = C0dV + C1(dV)2 + C2(dV)3) due to the significant larger AC-signal amplitude used in the DLCP technique. 

DLCP can yield, like admittance spectroscopy, both the spatial and the energetic distribution of defects. The energetic distribution is obtained by varying the frequency of the AC signal, whereas the spatial distribution is sustained by modifications in the applied DC-bias.

DLCP is a strictly dynamic measurement, meaning that the steady-state behavior recorded in a C–V profile is discarded. As a result, DLCP is insensitive to interface states.

Azerbaijan National Aerospace Agency. Azerbaijan National Aerospace Agency (MAKA; ) is a governmental body that coordinates all Azerbaijani space research programs with scientific and commercial goals. National Aerospace Agency has been operating as a "Kaspiy" Scientific Center within the National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan since 1974 and the Space Exploration Scientific Production Association (CTEB) was established based on "Kaspiy" Scientific Center in 1981. Azerbaijan National Aerospace Agency was established in 1992 by the Decree No. 580 of Azerbaijani President in place of the Kaspiy scientific research center of the National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan.

History
The Azerbaijani space programme is mostly carried out through international cooperation as during the Soviet era, a few Azerbaijani plants produced equipment for the Soviet Union’s space projects, but their facilities are now out-of-date. The programme has included a sequence of satellite missions, both national ones and in cooperation with other nations.

In 2006, the agency transferred to Ministry of Defence Industry of Azerbaijan. In 2009, Azerbaijani space industry boosted as new agency set up under the state program for development of space industry after Ilham Aliyev's approval. As part of the program, by 2013 it is planned to make proposals for the in-country assembly and production of VSAT (Very Small Aperture satellite Terminal). A small earth station for satellite transmission that handles up to 56 kbit/s of digital transmission. VSATs that handle the T1 data rate (up to 1.544 Mbit/s) are called "TSATs. and parts of other terminal stations, satellite receivers of different types and functions (internet, direct TV, GPS, etc.) in order to create the space industry.

On 30 June 2014, MAKA with cooperation from Airbus launched SPOT 7 Earth observation satellite. They form a constellation of Earth-imaging satellites designed to provide continuity of high-resolution, wide-swath data up to 2024.

Igarapé-Açu. Igarapé-Açu is a municipality in the state of Pará in the Northern region of Brazil. The population of the municipality is approximately 39,023 inhabitants according to an IBGE estimate in 2020.

World War II 
Igarapé-Açu, a city located in the middle of the Amazon region, not far from the coast of Pará, also had its American base. But this was not about planes, but about airships, popularly known as “Zeppelins”.

Concerned about the sinking of Brazilian ships by the Nazis, the governments of Brazil and the United States decided to cooperate and, among the measures adopted, three operating stations for “blinps” or “zeppelins” (named after the German inventor and company) were installed in the North. brand, which became a common name) in Amapá, Pará and Pernambuco, in a military version. Igarapé-Açu, in the Bragantina area, 110 kilometers from Belém and today with  inhabitants, was chosen because it presents geographical and meteorological conditions considered ideal for the landing and take-off of airships, in addition to being connected to the capital by railway and highway.

At the end of the Second World War, residents of the municipality of Igarapé Açu, in Pará, already accustomed to the daily passage of the train that connected Belém to Bragança, began to look at the sky, enraptured, to appreciate the evolutions of the North American balloons that left from the outskirts of the city to patrol the north coast of Brazil, a target for German submarines. The attraction was short-lived, from mid-1943 until the end of the war.

Advances in Adaptive Data Analysis. Advances in Adaptive Data Analysis (AADA) is an interdisciplinary scientific journal published by World Scientific. It reports on developments in data analysis methodology and their practical applications, with a special emphasis on adaptive approaches.

The journal seeks to transform data analysis into a competent tool for scientific research and engineering applications, and to distinguish it from mere data processing. Unlike data processing, which relies on established procedures and parameters, data analysis encompasses in-depth study in order to extract physical understanding. A further distinction the journal makes is the need to modify data analysis methodology (thus, "adaptive") to accommodate the complexity of scientific phenomena.

The journal mainly features original research, but occasionally publishes surveys, reviews, and proceedings for special conferences. It is indexed by Inspec.

Utopia (cruise ship). Utopia is a planned luxury residential ocean liner project. A formal marketing launch of the ship, reportedly costing US$1.1 billion, was expected in 2021. The ship was originally planned to launch in 2017 but lack of funding got in the way and the binding letter of intent to build Utopia was amended in 2017. The ship was to be built by Samsung Heavy Industries, one of the largest shipbuilders in the world. The Finnish engineering company Elomatic Marine is credited for the design concept of the vessel, with architectural design by Tillberg Design U.S.

The original business plan called for residences with prices from US$3.9 million to US$30 million, but as of 2018 Utopia increased its prices to $36 million.

It is one of several residence cruise ships that are under construction or planned, including Njord,  Dark Island  and MV Narrative. MS The World and Villa Vie Odyssey are the only resident-owned cruise vessels currently in service as of 2024.

Amenities
The , , ship will have 190 residences ranging in size from .  The ship will also have  175-room hotel, casino, 16,000 sq ft spa, night club, and many other amenities typical of large-scale commercial ocean-cruise liners. The company recently received regulatory approval for open floor plans and open-air kitchens (a first of its kind milestone for the passenger ship industry), which allows the kitchens to resemble the open-concept kitchens in modern North American land-based homes.

Financing
The ship will be largely financed by the Frontier Group, a private equity firm with offices in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.  Frontier will put up most of the funds to cover the US$1.1 billion in construction costs.  In 2018, Frontier reported that the financing contingencies have been removed, clearing the path for the project to continue forward.
In 2014, Utopia Residences shipbuilding contract was suspended due to insufficient funding. In 2017, a letter of intent was amended with Samsung Heavy Industries reflecting the vessel has been ordered with planned delivery and launch in 2022.

NetLabs. NetLabs was a software company that was founded in 1989 to address management of SNMP and CMOT (CMIP over TCP/IP) devices.  CMOT was specified in RFC 1095.  This RFC was subsequently obsoleted by RFC 1189.  RFC 1147 mentions the company and some of its products in a catalog of network management tools.  The company was acquired by Seagate Technology in 1995 as part of its Seagate Software division.

History
The company was founded in Los Angeles, California by Unni Warrier, Anne Lam, Jon Biggar, and Dan Ketcham.  Larry Wall, the inventor of the Perl programming language, joined the company.  In 1991, the company relocated to Los Altos, California.

A number of employees moved from Los Angeles to the San Francisco Bay Area to continue with the company.  Around this time, Unni Warrier and Anne Lam left the company, and Andre Schwager (as CEO) and Roselie Buonauro (head of Marketing) joined.

After being acquired by Seagate (announced March 20, 1995), the company moved to Cupertino, California.  Subsequently, Seagate Software sold off the Network and Storage Management Group to Veritas Software.  Veritas in turn sold off some of the software to OpenService, Inc.  OpenService changed its name Log Matrix.

Products
NetLabs products included:

 NerveCenter - network management console with correlation engine
 AssetManager - networked computing asset database with auto-discovery
 Vision - WYSIWYG network element panel simulator

The network management marketplace during the years before it was acquired included HP (OpenView), Sun (SunNet Manager, and Solstice Enterprise Manager), Cabletron (Spectrum) and others.  NetLabs licensed software to Sun.  It also released a version of software that would allow it to coexist and augment OpenView instead of directly competing.

Ultimately, one of the products, NerveCenter, is being offered by LogMatrix.
