Cherri M. Pancake. Cherri M. Pancake is an ethnographer and computer scientist who works as a professor of electrical engineering and computer science and Intel Faculty Fellow at Oregon State University, and as the director of the Northwest Alliance for Computational Science & Engineering. She is known for her pioneering work on usability engineering for high performance computing. In 2018 she was elected for a two-year term as president of the Association for Computing Machinery.

Education
Pancake earned a bachelor's degree in environmental design from Cornell University, and then studied anthropology at Louisiana State University.  After working for the Peace Corps in Peru, she spent ten years in Guatemala studying the Maya peoples; for over six of these years she was curator of the Ixchel Museum of Indigenous Textiles and Clothing. However, the political unrest in Guatemala in the early 1980s caused her to return to the US, where she became a graduate student in engineering at Auburn University, the first woman in the program. She received a PhD in Computer Engineering in 1986.

Career and research
For 10 years, Pancake split her time between her university appointment (first at Auburn, then at Oregon State) and an appointment as visiting scientist at the Cornell Theory Center. She performed the first usability studies of software tools for high performance computing, and found methods of improving the usability of these tools based on her knowledge of color perception, response time, short-term memory, and programming errors.

For over two decades, Pancake has been active with the ACM/IEEE SC (Supercomputing) Conference, serving as general chair of SC99 and in numerous other positions. She founded the Parallel Tools Consortium in 1993 and led several software standards efforts. In 2011, she founded SIGHPC and served as its chair until 2016, when she was elected vice-president of the Association for Computing Machinery and then president in 2018. Working with Intel Corporation leaders, she established the ACM SIGHPC/Intel Computational & Data Science Fellowships to increase diversity in the computing field.

Awards and honors
Pancake was elected a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery in 2001 "for leadership contributions to usability to high performance computing tools", and became a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 2003. She was honored as one of the Oregon Women of Achievement in 2006.

Pietro Boselli. Pietro Boselli (born 3 December 1988) is an Italian model, engineer, and former mathematics postgraduate teacher at University College London. He has been dubbed the "world’s hottest maths teacher." Boselli's Instagram account has 3.5 million followers.

Biography
Pietro, the eldest of four brothers, was born in Negrar in Verona, but raised in Brescia which is his hometown. When he was 6-years-old, he was discovered by an agent, and began his modelling career with Armani Junior. He completed his secondary education from Liceo Scientifico Statale Annibale Calini in 2007. 

He then moved to London at the age of 18 to study mechanical engineering at University College London (UCL)–graduating with a first-class degree (BEng) in 2010 and a PhD in computational fluid dynamics in 2016. During his PhD, he was a teaching assistant from September 2010 to June 2013, a lecturer from September 2013 to June 2014, and a visiting lecturer from October 2014 to March 2015, in UCL.

In 2015, a Facebook post from 2014 by one of his students, which mentioned that he was also a successful model, went viral. Reacting to his fame, while Boselli has been appreciative; he has spoken against male objectification, and the 'dumb model' stereotype and similar prejudices, on multiple occasions.

Modeling 
Boselli is represented by British modelling agency Models 1. In 2014, he won first place at the World Beauty Fitness & Fashion (WBFF) European ProAm event in the fitness model category. He has been seen in American modeling campaigns for clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch and fitness club Equinox, as well as the fashion house Moschino and Vogue magazine. He has also appeared in spreads for GQ Style and was featured on the cover of Attitude.

In 2016, he was signed by Armani for their EA7 campaign. In the same year, he founded sportswear brand Petra Design. In August 2020, he was featured on a lenticular cover of GQ Italia which switched between his image and an image of Michelangelo's David. The magazine was successfully sued by the Galleria dell'Accademia, which holds the image rights of the statue, for using a photo of the statue without their permission.

USS Wichita (LCS-13). USS Wichita (LCS-13) is a  littoral combat ship of the United States Navy, the third ship named after Wichita, the largest city in Kansas.

Design 
In 2002, the U.S. Navy initiated a program to develop the first of a fleet of littoral combat ships. The Navy initially ordered two monohull ships from Lockheed Martin, which became known as the Freedom-class littoral combat ships after the first ship of the class, . Odd-numbered U.S. Navy littoral combat ships are built using the Freedom-class monohull design, while even-numbered ships are based on a competing design, the trimaran hull  from General Dynamics. The initial order of littoral combat ships involved a total of four ships, including two of the Freedom-class design.  Wichita is the seventh Freedom-class littoral combat ship to be built.

Wichita includes additional stability improvements over the original Freedom design; the stern transom was lengthened and buoyancy tanks were added to the stern to increase weight service and enhance stability. The ship will also feature automated sensors to allow "conditions-based maintenance" and reduce crew overwork and fatigue issues that Freedom had on her first deployment.

Construction and career 

The keel laying ceremony was on 9 February 2015, at Marinette, Wisconsin. Sponsored by Kate Lehrer, wife of Wichita native Jim Lehrer, the ship was christened and launched on 17 September 2016. The naval crest of the ship incorporates elements of the Wichita flag, along with a bison skull and feathers representing the Native American heritage and wheat to reflect the state of Kansas's main crop. She is assigned to Littoral Combat Ship Squadron Two. The ship was acquired by the US Navy from Lockheed Martin and the Marinette Marine shipyard on 22 August 2018 along with  in a double delivery.

On 4 November 2020, Rear Admiral Don Gabrielson and Brigadier General Phillip Frietze signed the Joint Force Maritime Component Commander Maritime Campaign Support Plan in a ceremony aboard Wichita at Naval Station Mayport, Florida.

On 25 February 2021, the ship together with Sea Knights of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 22, detachment 8, was underway to support operations in US Southern Command area of responsibility. On 9 April, Wichita and Jamaica Defence Force Coast Guard patrol vessel  sailed in formation during a live-fire exercise. During this time, Wichita was deployed to the US 4th Fleet of operations to support Joint Interagency Task Force South’s mission, which included counter illicit drug trafficking in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific.

On 5 May 2022, Wichita conducted Maritime Interdiction Exercises with the Dominican Navy.

Planned decommissioning and possible reprieve 
It was announced in 2022 that Wichita was one of nine Freedom-class ships that the US Navy was intending to decommission during the 2023 fiscal year, but then on 11 August 2023, the Department of Defense decided that Wichita  would undergo a main engine replacement that should save the vessel from early decommissioning.

Cambrian Genomics. Cambrian Genomics was a biotechnology company based in San Francisco which used a laser-based technique to synthesize DNA. Cambrian Genomics produced genetic material for a 2013 effort to produce genetically modified glowing plants for sale to the public. A Kickstarter campaign raised $500,000 for the Glowing Plant project.

Cambrian Genomics maintained that it could make any life form by laser printing DNA. It was able to print DNA for companies such as Roche, GlaxoSmithKline, and Thermo Fisher Scientific. The company received investments from investors such as Peter Thiel, Bre Pettis from Makerbot, Bryan Johnson from Braintree, Jeff Hammerbacher from Cloudera, Carl Bass and Jeff Kowalski of Autodesk, Dave Friedberg from Climate Corporation, and VC firms. It later promoted that its customers can design new creatures by modifying the genetic codes of plants and animals using a computer.

In 2014, Cambrian Genomics raised a $10 million round of funding intended for printing DNA for customers in the industrial chemical and agricultural industries.

The company's founder, Austen Heinz, committed suicide at the age of 31 on May 24, 2015.

The company encountered difficulties getting plants to emit significant amounts of light, and announced via email in December 2017 that it had exhausted other money-earning bioluminescence ideas and was ceasing operations.

Cambrian Genomics used commercially available genome sequencers, as well as a sequencer built by Heinz. The sequencer allowed them to recover the underlying DNA rather than destroying it in the sequencing process. The company then used laser-pulse catapulting to eject copies of DNA. Clients could use polymerase chain reaction to copy that new synthetic DNA and insert it into cells.

The Bicycle Wheel. The Bicycle Wheel is a treatise on wheelbuilding by Jobst Brandt first published in 1981.

Overview
The Bicycle Wheel is an educational book that explains the structural theory of a wire wheel, and teaches the practical methodology of building bicycle wheels.

The book is made up of three parts. Part one, "Theory of the Spoked Wheel", examines how a wire wheel supports various loads, what causes wheel failure, what aspects of a wheel confer strength and durability, discusses each of the individual components that make up a spoked wheel, and examines wheel design. Part two, "Building and Repairing Wheels", explains how to select components, how to build a wheel, and how to repair various forms of damage. Part three, "Equations and Tests", provides a mathematical analysis of spoked wheels.

Reception
The Bicycle Wheel is considered by many to be the premier resource on building bicycle wheels. Noted bicycle mechanic and technical expert Sheldon Brown called it "the near-definitive text on the theory and practice of building spoked bicycle wheels".

EuroSport Crossover. The EuroSport Crossover is an electrically powered two seat motor glider and ultralight aircraft designed and built in Portugal.

Design and development

The Crossover has a largely epoxy resin and carbon fibre structure. The three part wing has a rectangular plan,  span central section and detachable trapezoidal outer panels, each either  or  long for the  and span variants respectively. The wingtips have tall, narrow winglets. The  trailing edge of the inner section is filled by two-section, double slotted, electrically driven Fowler flaps, with ailerons on the outer panels.

The fuselage is rounded in cross-section, with a long, low, forward-hinged and electrically operated canopy over the two side-by-side seats, which are provided with dual controls.  Behind the wing the fuselage tapers to a T-tail.  The fin is swept and straight-edged and the rudder is straight-edged, electrically trimmed and vertical. A straight tapered tailplane has a single, electrically powered elevator. The Crossover has a fuselage-mounted tricycle undercarriage. All wheels are the same size and retract forwards; the mainwheels have brakes and the nosewheel is steerable.

Power is supplied  by two three-phase electric motors, each capable of providing  for take-off and  continuously, controlled together by a single throttle lever.  These are mounted in the fuselage, with the four lithium batteries, storing a total energy of 36 kWh, just behind the cockpit at the centre of gravity. Several different propeller configurations have been considered, including a single nose-mounted propeller or a single propeller mounted near the top of the vertical tail. The initial trials were made with twin, contra-rotating propellers on arms that fold forward out of the fuselage just behind the wing trailing edge. Doors ensure that the fuselage is aerodynamically clean with or without the deployment of the propellers.

The Crossover began its flight testing with short hops on 23 July 2013. Tests of the fin-mounted propeller configuration began with taxying runs on 12 November that year.

Variants
Long span wing Motor glider with  span.
Short span version Ultralight glider with  span.
Variable span Proposed in-flight telescopically variable span wing.
