Lynn Crandall. Lynn Crandall (December 8, 1888 – June 26, 1964) was an American civil engineer who had charge of the water distribution of the Snake River, Salmon River and Henrys Fork of the Snake River for over 29 years.

Early life and education
Lynn Crandall was reared on his father's farm before entering Cornell University on a Hiram Sibley Scholarship in 1906.  He would be awarded this prestigious honor throughout his education. in Civil Engineering, the same field as taught by his uncle, Charles Lee Crandall, at that institution.  Professor Crandall, who himself entered the freshman class at Cornell in 1868, would also see Lynn's brother, Carl Crandall, graduate C.E. 1912.  It was Carl who was noted for stating "Surveying is better than golf". After Carl's death in 1968, it was noted that it had been 100 years since a member of the Crandall family had not either had a student or faculty member at Cornell.  Lynn Crandall was honored in 1923 with the Fuertes Gold Medal

Career
After a brief stint with the Missouri Pacific railroad, he received an appointment as junior engineer with the U.S. Geological Survey at Salt Lake City, Utah.  He was employed as a junior engineer with this agency until 1916 when he joined the Twin Falls North Side Land and Water Co. in Jerome, Idaho.  With the company he had the title of chief hydrographer. He was the first county surveyor of Jerome County, Idaho. In 1920, he was appointed by Judge Dietrich of the U.S. District Court for Idaho as commissioner of the court in charge of water distribution and study of water conditions in the Big Lost River Valley of Idaho and in 1930 elected watermaster of the Snake River Water District and at the same time appointed as District Engineer for the U.S. Geological Survey until retirement at age 70.  In 1958 he was the recipient of the Distinguished Service Gold medal of the U.S. Department of Interior.

The Argonauts of the Air. "The Argonauts of the Air" is a short story by H. G. Wells, first published in 1895 in Phil May's Annual. It was included in the collection of Wells short stories The Plattner Story and Others, published by Methuen & Co. in 1897.

Written several years before the first flight of the Wright brothers, it describes the painstaking development of a flying machine, in the face of public amusement, and its unsuccessful trial flight over London.

Wells lived at one time in Worcester Park, where the machine is launched; he studied at the Royal College of Science, where it crashes.

Story summary
For several years, Monson has used his wealth on a project to build a flying machine. The apparatus for launching it, "a massive alley of interlacing iron and timber", has become a notable landmark for people passing through Worcester Park in south-west London, and sometimes they see a machine rush along the rails of the apparatus, as the latest version of the flying machine is tested.

Monson's money is running out, and he is impatient with the time taken to put the latest modifications into effect. He is annoyed with the attitude of the public, who regard with amusement and indifference what is actually a painstaking and well-researched project, based on the work of Hiram Maxim and Otto Lilienthal. In particular he is annoyed by the remarks of a pretty young lady:

'How are you getting on with your flying-machine?' she asked. ('I wonder if I shall ever meet anyone with the sense not to ask that,' thought Monson.) 'It will be very dangerous at first, will it not?' ('Thinks I'm afraid.').... 'You must let me know when your flying-machine is finished, Mr. Monson, and then I will consider the advisability of taking a ticket.' ('One would think I was still playing inventions in the nursery.')

Monson and his engineer Woodhouse agree to try a flight. They know they will not be able to manage their flight instinctively, as a bird would do. Wimbledon, Primrose Hill and Kensington Gardens are some of the places which they fly over, all the while having difficulty controlling the machine. Eventually their luck runs out and they crash near the Royal College of Science.

So ends Monson's project. All that remains is the rusting ironwork at Worcester Park, and the inspiration for others to attempt creating flying machines.

Traube cell. A Traube cell is an "artificial cell" created by Moritz Traube in order to study the processes of living cells, including growth and osmosis. The Traube cell is not a true artificial cell, as it is not living and does not have true biological processes of its own.

History
Mortiz Traube was a German student of the German chemist Justus von Liebig in the mid-19th century. In 1867, Traube developed the Traube cell from copper ferrocyanide, in order to study the properties of plasma membranes. The artificial cell would expand and bud like living cells. Surgeon and professor Wilhelm Pfeffer used this model to study and coin the term "plasma membrane".

Structure
The Traube precipitation membrane consists of copper ferrocyanide and forms readily on a surface of crystal potassium ferrocyanide when the crystal is put into a dilute solution of copper sulfate. The membrane is semi-permeable, and expands rapidly into the Traube cell. Within the cell is a high concentration of potassium ferrocyanide with strong osmotic force. While it cannot diffuse outward, water and the copper sulfate solution can flow inwards. When the expansion caused the membrane to burst, a new membrane was quickly formed. In this way, the cell could "grow" and become several centimeters long. The ability of the Traube cell membrane to allow water to flow in while retaining the cell solute is comparable to living cells.

Kapitza number. The Kapitza number () is a dimensionless number named after the prominent Russian physicist Pyotr Kapitsa (Peter Kapitza). He provided the first extensive study of the ways in which a thin film of liquid flows down inclined surfaces. Expressed as the ratio of surface tension forces to inertial forces, the Kapitza number acts as an indicator of the hydrodynamic wave regime in falling liquid films. Liquid film behavior represents a subset of the more general class of free boundary problems. and is important in a wide range of engineering and technological applications such as evaporators, heat exchangers, absorbers, microreactors, small-scale electronics/microprocessor cooling schemes, air conditioning and gas turbine blade cooling.

After World War II Kapitza was removed from all his positions, including director of his Institute for Physical Problems, for refusing to work on nuclear weapons. He was at his country house and devised experiments to work on there, including his experiments on falling films of liquid.

Unlike most dimensionless numbers used in the study of fluid mechanics, the Kapitza number represents a material property, as it is formed by combining powers of the surface tension, density, gravitational acceleration and kinematic viscosity.

where σ is the surface tension (SI units: N/m), g is gravitational acceleration (m/s2), ρ is density (kg/m3), β is inclination angle (rad), and ν is kinematic viscosity (m2/s).

Mersey Model Co. Ltd.. Mersey Model Co. Ltd. was a company making model steam engines and other toys in Liverpool, UK. Founded by Ernest Claus around 1934, they made a small range of popular, well-made steam engines, many of which have survived to this day, including a range of steam-engine-powered model speed boats. Mersey Models exhibited at the British Industries Fair in 1936. 
The company offices were initially at 34 Peter's Lane in Liverpool and later in the Cooper's Building on Church Street.  The factory was located across the River Mersey in Wallasey.

Manufacturing stopped at the outbreak of the Second World War, in 1939, when the factory was needed for the war effort. The models remained on sale until 1941. Cooper's Building was damaged by fire after bombing on 6 May, 1941, but Mersey Models had already been wound up by then.

Products
Mersey Models' products were mainly steam powered models/toys and related accessories.  One of the earliest known advertisements featuring a Mersey Models engine shows a Model 51 and was placed by Hamleys in the November 1934 issue of the Meccano Magazine.

Stationary engines
Stationary models that have been identified are 51, 52, 53, 54 and 55. Models 52, 53, 54, and 55 were available with options designated by suffixes on the model number: G = geared output, R = reversible, and D = dynamo. The R option was available for all 4 models, the G and GR options were only available for models 52 and 53, and the D option was only available with model 54. Model 51 did not have any options available.

Boats
Two boat models have been identified, although the main difference was just colouring. These were Miss Mersey I and II. The steam engine used in these boats was available separately, advertised as Mersey Steam Boat Engine No.2.

Accessories
Mersey Models included a small range of machine tool accessories in their catalogue. These included a grindstone, circular saw, power press, drilling machine and a lathe. These accessories are very rare today.

One-off models
There are some rare and one-off models which have been found and identified as having been made by Mersey, which were prototypes or special commissions. One example of this is an engine with a thermosetting plastic base. All other known Mersey models have wooden bases and the use of plastics in manufacturing was in its infancy at the time. Mersey advertised to the trade their ability to build special commissions to order.

Alpine Data Labs. Alpine Data Labs is an advanced analytics interface working with Apache Hadoop and big data. It provides a collaborative, visual environment to create and deploy analytics workflow and predictive models. This aims to make analytics more suitable for business analyst level staff, like sales and other departments using the data, rather than requiring a "data engineer" or "data scientist" who understands languages like MapReduce or Pig.

Dan Udoutch serves as president and CEO of Alpine Data Labs.

History

Ex-Greenplum employees Anderson Wong and Yi-Ling Chen developed an app that could work with databases, which was used by the Data Science team at EMC as well as early customers in Financial Services and Digital Media. Alpine Data Labs was co-founded by Wong and Chen in 2010. That year, Alpine raised 7.5 million in Series A round funding from EMC Greenplum, Sierra Ventures, Mission Ventures, and Sumitomo Corp. Equity Asia. The funding was used in part to set up Alpine's headquarters in San Mateo, California. Alpine also appointed its Chief Product Officer, Steven Hillion, who had led the Data Science team at Greenplum. Alpine's core product then, Alpine Miner, allowed for non-data scientists to create predictive analytics data models without using code and used an "In-Database" model. In June 2011, Alpine Miner 2.0 for Oracle Database was released.

Tom Ryan was appointed CEO and president of Alpine Data Labs in January 2012 and served until April 2013. The following month, Joe Otto was appointed to serve as CEO and president. In November 2013, Alpine Data Labs raised $16 million in Series B venture funding. Investors included Sierra Ventures, Mission Ventures, UMC Capital, and Robert Bosch Venture Capital GmbH. That same month, it also released Alpine 3.0, which introduced a drag and drop interface and access to data from any device that with internet capabilities, including tablets and phones. This makes it possible for analysts to access data on Hadoop, and other databases and data warehouses, without IT having to move the data into another interface. Alpine also moved its headquarters from San Mateo to San Francisco in November 2013, by which point the company had significantly expanded the functional breadth of its platform with enterprise collaboration and governance features. In February 2014, Alpine Data Labs was added to the Gartner Magic Quadrant as a "Niche Player", and later as a "Visionary".

In 2014, the company released an integration with the R programming language, as well as support for all major Hadoop distributions and all major relational databases.

Alpine was acquired by TIBCO Software in November 2017.
