Léon Talabot. Joseph Léon Talabot (5 February 1796 – 23 September 1863) was a French engineer, iron master and politician. 
He advocated protectionist policies to maintain the prices of iron and steel. He was the founder of the Denain-Anzin steelworks.

Early years

Joseph Léon Talabot was born on 5 February 1796 in Limoges, Haute-Vienne.
His father, Francois Talabot (1764–1839), was a lawyer, and his mother was Marie Agathe Martin-Lagrave.
He had seven siblings, including the railway and canal engineer Paulin Talabot (1799–1885).
He received formal training as an engineer.
Talabot operated the joint-stock Saut-du-Tarn steel making company near Albi, Tarn, which had been founded in the 1820s by capitalists from Toulouse.
In 1836 Talabot's Forges et Laminoirs d'Anzin was founded to make rails for use by the proposed Northern Railroad.
Talabot was the engineer in chief of the Paris-Dijon railway.

Politician

Talabot was elected deputy for Limoges, Haute-Vienne, on 23 January 1836, replacing Pierre-Alpinien Bourdeau, who had resigned.
He was reelected on 4 November 1837, 2 March 1839, 9 July 1842 and 1 August 1846.
He sat in the center left, among the supports of Adolphe Thiers.
In 1842, during the debates over the railway laws, he organized a lobby of deputies from the Center and the Midi.
In 1846 the Association pour la défense du Travail national was formed to promote protectionist policies.
The council included Antoine Odier (President), Auguste Mimerel (Vice-President), Joseph Périer (Treasurer) and Louis-Martin Lebeuf (Secretary).
Members included Henri Barbet, Léon Talabot, Eugène Schneider and Jules Hochet.
The Association, and Talabot personally, was opposed to the reform of the customs system advocated by Laurent Cunin-Gridaine.
Talabot's political career ended with the French Revolution of 1848.

Later career

In 1849 Talabot merged the Forges et Laminoirs d'Anzin with the nearby Serret, Lelièvre, Dumont et Cie company of Denain to form the Société des hauts-fourneaux et des forges de Denain et Anzin, the largest metallurgical company in the Nord Department.
Talabot managed Denain-Anzin after the merger.
In 1850 the French iron masters created an Assemblée Générale des Maîtres de Forges de France, under the presidency of Léon Talabot. 
At the end of the year it took the name of Comité des Maîtres de Forges. In 1855 Talabot assumed the title of president of the Comité des Forges. 
In 1860 the Inspector-General of Mines, Combes, wrote to the Minister of Commerce that Talabot's Comité des Forges would use whatever threats or arguments they felt likely to be effective in maintaining the price of iron.
In 1860 Talabot also became president of a new Association for the Defense of National Labor, which was opposed to lowering of tariffs.

Talabot was made a knight of the Legion of Honour.
He died on 23 September 1863 in Soisy-sous-Montmorency, Val-d'Oise.
Baron Robert de Nervo married Léon Talabot's daughter Lucie-Agathe (1844–73) on 31 October 1867. 
The Nervo family would make Denain-Anzin the fifth-largest steel producer in France by 1913.

Sampson flow. Sampson flow is defined as fluid flow through an infinitely thin orifice in the viscous flow regime for low Reynolds number. It is derived from an analytical solution to the Navier-Stokes equations. The below equation can be used to calculate the total volumetric flowrate through such an orifice:

Here,  is the volumetric flowrate in ,  is the pressure difference in Pa,  is the pore diameter in m, and  is the fluid's dynamic viscosity in Pa·s. The flow can also be expressed as a molecular flux as:

Here,  is the molecular flux in atoms/m2·sec,  is the average of the pressures on either side of the orifice,  is the Boltzmann constant, ( J/K), and  is the absolute temperature in K.

Sampson flow is the macroscopic analog of effusion flow, which describes stochastic diffusion of molecules through an orifice much smaller than the mean-free-path of the gas molecules. For pore diameters on the order of the mean-free-path of the fluid, flow will occur with contributions from the molecular regime as well as the viscous regime, obeying the dusty gas model according to the following equation: 

Here,  is the total volumetric flowrate and  is the volumetric flowrate according to the law of effusion. As it turns out, for many gasses, we notice equal contributions from molecular and viscous regimes when the pore size is significantly larger than the mean-free-path of the fluid, for nitrogen this occurs at a pore diameter of 393 nm, 6.0× larger than the mean-free-path.

G. W. Hemans. George Willoughby Hemans (27 August 1814 – 29 December 1885) was an Irish architect and engineer who designed several major railway schemes in Ireland and the UK during the mid 19th century.

He was born in St Asaph, North Wales, on 27 August 1814.

Hemans studied for three years at a French military college (the ) in Sorèze, showing academic abilities in languages, science and drawing. He spent his early career with the Ordnance Survey as a pupil of London-based engineer Sir John Macneill, who later appointed him as resident engineer for the Dublin end of the railway to Drogheda, where he supervised the first iron lattice bridges in Ireland. In 1845, after his next commission, to take charge of a railway line between Dublin and Cork, he was appointed chief engineer by the directors of the Midland Great Western Railway of Ireland to prepare plans for a line to Mullingar and Longford.

In 1854, Hemans moved to London, where his railway engineering works included the Vale of Clwyd, the East Grinstead and Groombridge and Tunbridge Wells, and the Tewkesbury and Malvern lines.

He became a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1837 becoming a member of its council in 1856, and later vice-president. He was also a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers of Ireland from 1845, serving as council member 1846–1849, 1860–61, 1885; vice-president 1850–1856; president 1857–1859; and honorary member from 1 December 1881. He was a member of the Royal Institute of Architects 1840–1852 and the Royal Zoological Society, acting as council member 1850–1853.

Hemans moved to New Zealand in 1870, where he was appointed engineer-in-chief for Canterbury Province, and later for all New Zealand.

Family
Hemans was the eldest son of Irish army officer Captain Alfred Hemans and poet Felicia Hemans (née Browne), who married in 1812.

Train Valley 2. Train Valley 2 is a puzzle-strategy train simulator video game developed by Flazm as a sequel to Train Valley. It was released in early access on 29 March 2018, and fully released on 13 April 2019.

Gameplay 
Cities demand various goods, such as cattle, furniture, iron ore, or steel plates. Each level is complete once all city demands are delivered to their respective stations, who also supply workers to operate industries. Unlike the original Train Valley, where the player just has to deliver a set number of trains, the player has to manage production chains (for instance: furniture requires glass and boards, which in turn requires sand and logs). In addition to raw materials, nearly every industry requires workers to operate, and some of them also require electricity, which in turn requires a connected, operating power plant. Also unlike the first game, passengers and destinations aren't randomized. Instead the player delivers workers and materials to the various industries using the locomotives available to him in the level. As goods are delivered, the player gains income that can be used to lay more track, upgrade his locomotives to go faster and carry larger loads, and buy more of them to operate more trains simultaneously.

Each level contains five objectives which create a five-star rating for the level. Two of the objectives are for accomplishing different tasks (such as "do not destroy tracks") while the other three tasks are time challenges (such as "complete the level in under 10 minutes"). Each objective gives the level one star. The early access version of Train Valley 2 contained 20 levels, and the full-release game contains 50 levels.

Train Valley 2 features a completely different art style from the original – Train Valley features a realistic style while Train Valley 2 has a low poly, simplistic art style.

Development 

The prequel to Train Valley 2, Train Valley, entered Steam Early Access on May 9, 2015, and was fully released on September 16, 2015.

On 23 December 2016, Flazm announced that Train Valley 2 was in development. The game was fully released on 13 April 2019.

Reception 

The game has been described as "a beautifully executed hybrid of puzzle game and tycoon sim that charms and challenges in equal measure." The graphics have been described as "aesthetically pleasing", with an "endearing sense of childish innocence", and has been compared to Poly Bridge. The terrain "can be difficult to interpret" but the maps are "still interesting and varied", with the game overall being a "little gem that will keep you entertained for hours." The way tracks are laid down in the game has been criticized, with them being described as "unnecessarily fiddly" with "a bit of trial and error involved in working out where you can actually build, especially when it comes to slopes."

The game won the DevGAMM Moscow 2018 conference's Grand Prize.

Electric turbo-compound. An electric turbo-compound (ETC) system is defined where a turbine coupled to a generator (turbogenerator) is located in the exhaust gas flow of a reciprocating engine to harvest waste heat energy and convert it into electrical power.

An example of an ETC system is where a turbogenerator is located downstream of a turbocharger turbine of an internal combustion engine (ICE). The power generated from the ETC system can be used to feed into an electrical grid or provide power to local electrical loads such as engine auxiliaries.

ETC systems are commercially available for stationary power gensets and at an advanced stage of development for automotive applications to improve the fuel efficiency of gas and diesel engines by recovering waste energy from the exhaust gases.

The ETC system is typically located downstream of the turbocharger of an ICE. The exhaust gases expand first through the turbocharger turbine and then through the ETC turbine, which drives a high-speed alternator generating DC or AC power. In gensets, this extra power is added to the power output from the primary generator, increasing the system efficiency. For automotive application the ETC would become the primary generator used to power the vehicle’s auxiliary systems.

Heinrich Adolph Baumhauer. Heinrich Adolph Baumhauer (26 October 1848, Bonn, Kingdom of Prussia - 1 August 1926, Freiburg, Switzerland) was a German chemist and mineralogist.

Baumhauer was the son of lithographer and merchant Mathias Baumhauer (1810–70) and Anna Margaretha Käuffer (variously Kaeuffer, Keuffer, Kaufmann) of Bonn.  He studied in Bonn from 1866 to 1869 with Friedrich August Kekule von Stradonitz, Hans Heinrich Landolt and Gerhard vom Rath, receiving his doctorate for the dissertation “Die Reduction des Nitrobenzols durch Chlor-und Bromwasserstoff.” He spent an additional year studying at Göttingen in 1870.

In 1871 Baumhauer became a teacher at the Technical University in Frankenberg, Saxony. After a short period of teaching at the Handelsschule in Hildesheim in 1872, he became a chemistry teacher from 1873 to 1896 at the agricultural school of Lüdinghausen, Westphalia. From 1895 to 1925 he was professor of mineralogy and after 1906/1907 also a professor of inorganic chemistry in Freiburg, Switzerland. He was appointed Director of the newly created Department of Mineralogy at the University of Freiburg in 1896, and led the Freiburger Institut für Mineralogie until 1925.

In 1870 he wrote about the relationship between atomic weights and the properties of elements, and proposed his own periodic system on spirals based on increasing atomic weights. He also wrote textbooks on inorganic chemistry (1884), organic chemistry (1885), and mineralogy (1884).  He was well-known for his book Das Reich der Kristalle ("The Kingdom of Crystals", 1889).

He evaluated etching figures on crystals and made studies on minerals from dolomite and new minerals. The etching method he developed contributed to the understanding of crystalline structures. His book Die Resultate der Aetzmethode ("The results of the Aetz method", 1894) was the standard resource on this method until 1927.  He was the first to introduce the idea of polytypism in minerals.

Baumhauer was the first to describe the mineral Rathite which he named for Gerhard vom Rath. He also discovered Seligmannite, which was named in honor of Gustav Seligmann. A mineral is named in his honor as well: the rare dark gray lead-arsenic-sulphide Baumhauerite (Pb 3 As 4 S 9), which is found in the  Lengenbach Quarry in Binntal, Switzerland.  Baumhauer's collection of minerals from the Binntal, containing more than 750 pieces as well as handwritten observation journals, correspondence, and other materials, is held by the Freiburger Institut für Mineralogie. His collection helped to establish the  reputation of the Institut.

Baumhauer became a member of the Mineralogical Society of St. Petersburg in 1878, an honorary member of the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland in 1879, a member of the Mineralogical Society of London in 1905 and a member of the Leopoldina or German Academy of Natural Scientists in 1926.
