Geregu nuclear power plant. The Geregu nuclear power plant is a twin-reactor nuclear power plant planned in Nigeria. The project foresees construction of two nuclear reactors supplied by Atomstroyexport and the plant would be located in Geregu, Kogi State.

It is part of efforts to find solution to the shortage of power supply in the country. According to World Bank, more than 40% of the country was without electricity in 2014.

The Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission (NAEC) explained that  the site had been selected for the construction of two nuclear reactors after due considerations. Preliminary licensing of the approved site is expected by the end of 2016 from the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NNRA) which has started the process of developing the license.

On 30 October 2017, Russia’s state-owned Rosatom and Nigeria have signed agreements for the construction and operation of the nuclear power plant.

The plant would be co-financed by Rosatom, which will build, own, operate and transfer (BOT) it to the Nigerian government. The estimate cost is about $10 billion.

In October 2022, Geregu became the first power company to list on Nigeria's Stock Exchange.

ARCore. ARCore, also known as Google Play Services for AR, is a software development kit developed by Google that allows for augmented reality (AR) applications to be built. ARCore has been integrated into a multitude of devices.

Key technologies 

ARCore uses a few key technologies to integrate virtual content with the real world as seen through the camera of a smartphone or tablet. Each of these technologies can be utilized by developers to create a high-quality, immersive AR experience.

Six degrees of freedom 
 Allows the phone to understand and track its position relative to the world.
 A motion tracking process known as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) utilizes feature points - which are visually distinct objects within camera view - to provide focal points for the phone to determine proper positioning (pose) of the device.

Environmental understanding 
 Allows the phone to detect the size and location of flat surfaces - both vertical and horizontal - with feature points.
 Geometric plane can be calculated based on detected feature points.
 A scene semantics API is used to gather real-time semantic data about the user's surroundings and uses that data to identify objects and features in view.

Light estimation 
 Lighting Estimation API allows the phone to estimate the environment's current lighting conditions and display images accurately in relation to real-world lighting.
 Lighting cues such as shadows and highlights are used to more immersively display virtual objects.

Depth analysis 
 Utilizes the phone's camera to create depth maps, which enable the device to more accurately determine the amount of space between surfaces based on what is captured.
 In order to properly assess the real world, depth maps are created to measure the amount of space between objects or surfaces.
 A depth-from-motion algorithm takes the motion data from the user's camera and utilizes it to create a more detailed depth map.

Geospatial capabilities 
 This function's API uses GPS and allows creators to give users unique experiences based on their real-world location.
 Google's visual positioning system (VPS) is utilized for this process.
 Matches the user's visual data with that of Google Maps to determine precise location.

Cave gate. A cave gate is a manmade barricade typically placed at, or just inside, the entrance to a cave in an effort to impede or mitigate human access to a cave's interior. The reason for gating a cave can be varied, but may include protecting sensitive or endangered bat species, protecting fragile cave resources, or restricting access to dangerous caves.

In the United States, an "industry standard" for gate construction has been developed. This standard has been widely used by agencies such as the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, The Nature Conservancy, National Speleological Society and others. This standard focuses on proper gate placement that does not hinder airflow that would change a cave's micro-ecosystem.

The industry standard or "Basic Gate Design" is a vertically placed flat grid of horizontal bars. The spacing of the bar grid is crucial to allow access of small animals, such as bats, but restricting human entry. Other designs exist, but spacing of the bar grid appears to be universal.

Akira Nakashima. Akira Nakashima (中嶋 章 or 中島 章, also written as Nakashima Akira, Nakasima Akira or Nakajima Akira, 5 January 1908 – 29 October 1970) was a Japanese electrical engineer of the NEC.

He got a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the Imperial University of Tokyo.

Akira Nakashima independenly introduced switching circuit theory in papers from 1934 to 1936, concurrent with Victor Shestakov and Claude Shannon, laying the foundations for digital circuit design, in digital computers and other areas of modern technology. However, Shannon's ideas were markedly different in approach and theoretical framework compared to the work of Nakashima, whose work was still based on the existent circuit theory of the time and took a grounded approach, whereas Shannon based his work on mathematics and was far more abstract, thereby breaking new ground and setting up an approach that now dominates modern electrical engineering.

Raritan River Bridge. The Raritan River Bridge is a rail bridge over the Raritan River, in New Brunswick and Highland Park in Middlesex County, New Jersey, U.S. The arch bridge carries the Northeast Corridor (NEC) at MP 30.92. It used by Amtrak, including Northeast Regional service, and New Jersey Transit's Northeast Corridor Line. It also crosses over New Jersey Route 18.

The bridge was constructed in 1903 by the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR). It consists of 21 spans of stone arches, the clear spans varying from 51 feet to 72 feet each and has a total length of . The line was electrified by 1933 and between 1948-1950 the bridge was encased in concrete.

The bridge was documented by the Historic American Engineering Record in 1977. It is contributing property of the unlisted Pennsylvania Railroad New York to Philadelphia Historic District (ID#4568), designated in 2002 by the New Jersey State Historic Preservation Office.

Earlier bridges
The first crossing of the Raritan at this point was wooden bridge on masonry substructure, constructed in 1838 by the United New Jersey Railroad and Canal Company. It was a  long double-deck Howe truss bridge with a highway on the lower deck. The -foot long draw span was renewed in 1872.

In 1877 work began on the replacement with the intention to build a double-track iron structure of seven iron fixed deck-spans having three trusses each with stone-arch approaches. While construction was underway this bridge was entirely destroyed by fire on March 9, 1878. Traffic was resumed over a temporary structure five days later.

In 1896, the superstructure was again renewed with five deck truss-spans, each  long, and one drawspan over the canal, all for two tracks.

Literary significance
In the Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz, the title character becomes so frustrated and despondent over the futility of his romantic pursuits that he gets drunk, walks out onto the Raritan River railroad bridge, and attempts suicide by jumping off, surviving only because he lands in the shrubs on a garden divider on Route 18. Later he regretfully explains to his friend Yunior, "It was foolish. Ill-advised."
