Joseph Palmer Frizell. Joseph Frizell (13 March 1832 – 4 May 1910) was an American engineer. He is notable for having independently derived the fundamental equations to describe the velocity of a shock wave (Water hammer equations) in 1898, and for his book Water-Power published in 1901. Water-power was the first practical book on hydraulics in the USA. This was a major milestone in propagation of  engineering knowledge in USA, as Schutze wrote ″As an hydraulic engineer, Frizell was prominent, and his book, Waterpower, filled a definitive need in the technology of that day.″ Nevertheless, Frizell's description of the Water hammer was criticized by American contemporaries and his contribution to the field is under-recognised.

Calm Waters. Calm Waters is a 2013 large glass and paint installation by artist Katherine Bradford. It is located on the Eskenazi Health campus, near downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, US, and is part of the Eskenazi Health Art Collection.

Description 
Calm Waters is a 2013 mixed-media installation by artist Kathy Bradford, which consists of seven panels of  thick glass that sit several inches in front of a painted abstract pattern resembling waves in blue, gray and teal. The glass panels consist of sand-carved clear laminated glass and clear, white and gray etched glass. A technique known as glue-chipping, which creates a sparkle effect, is also used on the panels. The layered arrangement of glass and paint, which measures  overall, creates the illusion of both notable depth and change or movement as pedestrians walk past. Of the work's subject and purpose, the artist has said, 
"This imagery is of a large body of calm water with cloud reflections throughout the composition. This imagery is intended to transport the thoughts of the viewer, creating relaxation and calmness. Combining the art glass with the painted wall behind the glass surface creates multiple colors shifting throughout the composition. It is intended to intrigue the viewer and encourage further investigation."

Historical information

Acquisition 
Calm Waters was commissioned by Eskenazi Health as part of a re-imagining of the organization's historical art collection and to support "the sense of optimism, vitality and energy" of its new campus in 2013. In response to its nationwide request for proposals, Eskenazi Health received more than 500 submissions from 39 states, which were then narrowed to 54 finalists by an independent jury. Each of the 54 proposals was assigned an area of the new hospital by Eskenazi Health's art committee and publicly displayed in the existing Wishard Hospital and online for public comment. More than 3,000 public comments on the final proposals were collected and analyzed in the final selection. Calm Waters is credited as "Dedicated with gratitude, Prof. N.L. Georgakopoulos".

Location 
Calm Waters is installed in the Richard M. Fairbanks Burn Center on the 4th level of Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital.

Artist 
Bradford attended the University of Missouri at Kansas City where she earned a BA in art education. Her studies in glass continued at Colorado Mountain College and at the Stained Glass School with the artist Paul Marioni.

Schwing (company). Schwing GmbH is a German manufacturer of mobile and stationary concrete pumps and truck mixers, headquartered in Herne, as well as the parent company of Schwing Stetter in Memmingen. The business group is the world's largest concrete pump manufacturer. The company employs more than 3300 people worldwide in seven countries. In addition, there are individual distribution companies in more than 100 countries.

History 

The Schwing Group was founded as a medium-sized enterprise on 17 March 1934, by Friedrich Wilhelm Schwing (* 1909; † 1992), a locksmith from Wanne-Eickel. In 1957, Schwing built the world's first oil-hydraulic two-cylinder concrete pump. Starting in 1964, the company also built the first large concrete mixers. In 1965, the company launched its first concrete pump which was mounted on a vehicle, and improved it in 1968 with the addition of a distribution mast. In 1973, the company built a high-speed concrete pump vehicle with a 45-meter-wide large distribution mast, an outstanding innovation at that time. In 1976, Schwing launched the first residual concrete processing plant on the market.

After the company founder handed over the company management to his two sons in 1980, they acquired the company Stetter GmbH in Memmingen in 1982, which produced truck mixers. The company's market domicile and the company's portfolio expanded. The company was now able to offer combined mixers with a concrete pump mounted on it and developed into a market leader.

At the end of the nineties there was a dispute between the owners, the company was about to sell to an American company. With the help of banks, a state guarantee and private assets, Gerhard Schwing succeeded in buying his brothers shares. Until 3 October 2013, he was the sole Managing Director of the GmbH. In 2012 Schwing was taken over by the Chinese producer XCMG for €300 million.

Embudo Stream Gauging Station. The Embudo Stream Gauging Station is a stream gauge established in 1888 as the United States Geologic Survey's first training center for hydrographers. The station, near the town of Embudo along the Rio Grande in northern New Mexico, was used to develop tools and techniques for measuring stream flow in the arid, western United States.

History 
The Embudo Stream Gauging Station was established as part of the United States Geologic Survey Irrigation Survey, a project to map water basins and collect streamflow data in an effort to make informed irrigation infrastructure decisions, directed by Clarence Dutton. While Dutton was able to locate topographers and irrigation engineers for the survey, he was not able to locate hydrographers, so a training camp was established at Embudo, New Mexico. Engineers, including camp director Frederick H.Newell, first arrived in December 1888. While canvas tents and cots were purchased, the unanticipated cold of the higher elevation site led to the use of shallow trenches with blankets rather than cots and small cave dug in a nearby hillside for sleeping.

By early March 1889, the camp hosted 21 residents, including 15 students. The training period ended in April 1889 with ten of the students taking on hydrographer positions in the Irrigation Survey. Stream measurements were continued by the local railroad agent until 1904 and were then discontinued. Measurements resumed in 1912 by a new railroad agent, and in 1915 the station operation was taken on by the State of New Mexico. The USGS resumed operation of the stream gauging station in July 1931.

Recognition 
The site was designated a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1973 and listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1974.

4,4'-Diaminodicyclohexylmethane. 4,4'-Diaminodicyclohexylmethane is the name for organic compounds with the formula CH2(C6H10NH2)2.  It is classified as a diamine. In the epoxy industry it is often referred to as PACM, short for para-diamino­dicyclohexyl­methane.  It is used as a curing agent for epoxy resins It finds particular use in epoxy flooring. Another use is to produce diisocyanates, which are precursors to polyurethanes.  The mixture is a colorless solid, but typical samples are yellowish and oily.  The compound is produced as a mixture of three isomers by the hydrogenation of methylenedianiline.  These isomers are, in decreasing order of their yield from the hydrogenation, trans-trans, cis-trans, and a small amount of cis-cis.

Uses
This diamine is mainly used to make epoxy resin curing agents for CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, and Elastomers) applications especially flooring. Another application arises from its reaction with phosgene to produce a cycloaliphatic diisocyanate Hydrogenated MDI, which is used to produce light stable polyurethanes. The substance may also be used as a chemical intermediate to make other molecules.

4,4'-Diaminodicyclohexylmethane was used in producing a polyamide called Qiana, since discontinued.  For this application, the condensation partner was dodecanoic acid.

Safety
It is an alkaline skin irritant.  At 300 – 1000 mg/kg (oral, rats), the  is low.  It does not exhibit mutagenic properties.

Nanofilter Tanzania. NanoFilter is the water filter developed as the result of innovation by the Tanzanian senior-lecturer and chemical engineer, Dr. Askwar Hilonga from The Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology (NM-AIST)- Arusha in Tanzania. After spending almost five years from 2010 to continue refining the nanomaterials to the nanoFilter. It was very difficult to come up to final water filter with this idea as it was too difficult to protect it in all these years. But Dr. Hilonga used the appropriate Intellectual property Rights (IPRs) strategy to protect this idea up to the end, and in fact the product of this innovation worn the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation, this is especially the lesson to young scientists in developing countries.

NanoFilter Innovation 
As Dr. Askwar Hilonga grew up in the remote area as the party of community, he witnessed sufferings experienced majority of people in the villages in Tanzania and probably this is the common problem to all the poorest countries in the world. Problems like water borne diseases real kill people everyday due to the use of unsafe water.

Nevertheless, especially in the northern part of the beautiful country of Tanzania. The water which normal people use seem to contain fluoride while bacteria remain the content of water in most of the villages in the developing countries.

The nanoFilter idea resulted from the visit this African Scientist made to his parents' village found in Arusha where people were still drinking dirty water which scares him, that his people were going to continue suffering from water-borne disease.

How the NanoFilter works 
It has a slow sand filter with a combination of nanomaterials made from sodium silicate and silver to eliminate toxic heavy metals such as copper, fluoride, or other chemical contaminants depending on a particular geographical area. Water first passes through the sand and then through the nanomaterials.

It then absorbs all the contaminants leaving water very clean and safe and can later be removed manually.

Conclusion 

NanoFilter is the filter which can filtrate water for about 99.999% and making water free from bacteria, microorganisms, and Viruses hence making the drinking water safe for the domestic usage.

White bronze. White bronze is a white-coloured alloy. Examples of various alloys composed of copper, tin and zinc or composed of zinc, copper, aluminum and magnesium. A modern composition contains 55% copper, 30% tin and 15% zinc. A 1904 patent for "white bronze" is composed of 86% zinc, 9.9% copper, 4% aluminum and 0.1% magnesium.

History

Use in monuments
In the United States, starting in the 1870s, white bronze was a material used in monuments, particularly gravestones. White bronze gravestones are most common in East Coast cemeteries, but can be found throughout the country. White bronze was also commonly used in Civil War memorials. White bronze monuments could be mass produced, providing a more affordable alternative to more traditional materials like bronze, marble, and granite. Northern manufacturers, like the Monumental Bronze Company in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and the National Fine Art Foundry in New York City, often produced both Union monuments for Northern communities and Confederate monuments for Southern communities. Southern communities tended to be less forthcoming about the Northern origins of the statues. The monuments in the different parts of the country were often very similarly designed, only minuscule details such as the letters on belt buckles, differentiating them. The durability and longevity of the monuments made from this material was advertised by manufacturers, however they were particularly weak around the seams. The demand for white bronze monuments declined after World War I.
