OneAPI (compute acceleration). oneAPI is an open standard, adopted by Intel, for a unified application programming interface (API) intended to be used across different computing accelerator (coprocessor) architectures, including GPUs, AI accelerators and field-programmable gate arrays. It is intended to eliminate the need for developers to maintain separate code bases, multiple programming languages, tools, and workflows for each architecture.

oneAPI competes with other GPU computing stacks: CUDA by Nvidia and ROCm by AMD.

Specification 
The oneAPI specification extends existing developer programming models to enable multiple hardware architectures through a data-parallel language, a set of library APIs, and a low-level hardware interface to support cross-architecture programming. It builds upon industry standards and provides an open, cross-platform developer stack.

Data Parallel C++ 
DPC++ is a programming language implementation of oneAPI, built upon the ISO C++ and Khronos Group SYCL standards. DPC++ is an implementation of SYCL with extensions that are proposed for inclusion in future revisions of the SYCL standard, including: unified shared memory, group algorithms, and sub-groups.

Libraries 
The set of APIs spans several domains, including libraries for linear algebra, deep learning, machine learning, video processing, and others.

The source code of parts of the above libraries is available on GitHub.

The oneAPI documentation also lists the "Level Zero" API defining the low-level direct-to-metal interfaces and a set of ray tracing components with its own APIs.

Hardware abstraction layer 
oneAPI Level Zero, the low-level hardware interface, defines a set of capabilities and services that a hardware accelerator needs to interface with compiler runtimes and other developer tools.

Implementations 
Intel has released oneAPI production toolkits that implement the specification and add CUDA code migration, analysis, and debug tools. These include the Intel oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler, Intel Fortran Compiler, Intel VTune Profiler and multiple performance libraries.

Codeplay has released an open-source layer to allow oneAPI and SYCL/DPC++ to run atop Nvidia GPUs via CUDA.

University of Heidelberg has developed a SYCL/DPC++ implementation for both AMD and Nvidia GPUs.

Huawei released a DPC++ compiler for their Ascend AI Chipset

Fujitsu has created an open-source ARM version of the oneAPI Deep Neural Network Library (oneDNN) for their Fugaku CPU.

Unified Acceleration Foundation (UXL) and the future for oneAPI 

Unified Acceleration Foundation (UXL) is a new technology consortium that are working on the continuation of the OneAPI initiative, with the goal to create a new open standard accelerator software ecosystem,  related open standards and specification projects through Working Groups and Special Interest Groups (SIGs). The goal will compete with Nvidia's CUDA. The main companies behind it are Intel, Google, ARM, Qualcomm, Samsung, Imagination, and VMware.

Your Contemporary. Your Contemporary () is a 1967 Soviet drama film directed by Yuli Raizman.

It is a continuation of The Communist film.

Plot
Vasily Gubanov, the son of the protagonist from the film The Communist, serves as the director of a massive industrial complex under construction in the Siberian city of Berezovka. The facility is designed to extract "koetan" (a likely reference to synthesis gas) from coal. Previously, Gubanov had championed this method and convinced authorities to begin building the enormous plant. However, he now travels to Moscow with scientist Maxim Nitochkin to advocate for halting the project. Gubanov has come to believe that extracting koetan from coal is outdated and that the transition to a more modern oil-based extraction method is necessary. This change, however, would mean abandoning the colossal construction project, into which tens of millions of rubles have already been invested. Beyond financial concerns, ethical dilemmas arise—thousands of workers have been recruited, and a new city has grown around the project. Declaring the initiative unviable would disrupt countless lives and effectively end Gubanov's career. Nonetheless, as a committed communist, Gubanov feels he cannot continue to push forward with an obsolete project he once fervently supported.  

A secondary storyline unfolds alongside this conflict. Gubanov's son, Misha, falls in love with an older woman who has a child. To support his new family, he decides to leave his university studies, a decision that challenges his father's expectations. Gubanov must come to terms with and ultimately accept his son's choice, despite its divergence from his own values and aspirations.  

The plot is based on real events surrounding the construction of the Angarsk Petrochemical Complex (referred to at the time as "Plant 16"), reflecting the ethical, personal, and professional challenges tied to large-scale industrial projects in Soviet history.

Totzeret HaAretz Towers. Totzeret HaAretz Towers (, Migdalei Totzeret HaAretz), stylized as ToHa, is a partly built complex of three office skyscrapers in Tel Aviv, Israel. The first tower was completed in February 2019, and the second is slated to be inaugurated in 2024.

History
The complex is located on and named after Totzeret Haaretz Street in Nahalat Yitzhak, in eastern Tel Aviv. It faces HaShalom Street in the south and Yigal Allon Street in the west. It is within walking distance of Tel Aviv HaShalom railway station.

The towers were designed by the British-Israeli architect Ron Arad and Yashar Architects, while the public space design was given to UK-based Vogt Landscape Architects, and the local company Tema. The developing company is a partnership between Amot and Gav-Yam.

Aloni Hetz, Amot's parent company, purchased two adjacent lots to build the complex, which has a total footprint of . One lot was purchased from the Tara Compound to the west, and the other from Gazit-Globe, which saw the demolition of the latter's office building there. The complex is meant to adhere to the LEED Platinum standard.

WeWork is the largest tenant in the first tower, having leased 6.5 floors through Israeli real estate company Ampa. This is WeWork's largest space in Israel.

In 2018, Akamai Technologies rented two floors in the first tower. Other tenants include Natural Intelligence, Tufin, Dynamic Yield, Discount Investments and Trax Retail. In November 2018, Amot reported that 95% of the office space in the tower had been leased.

Buildings
The Totzeret Haaretz complex consists of three towers.

Totzeret HaAretz 1
Totzeret HaAretz 1, completed on February 3, 2019, spans 30 floors and . It contains  of office space, and cost ILS 950 million to build. Architect Asa Bruno from Ron Arad's office oversaw the tower's construction.

According to the architects, the tower is meant to resemble an iceberg. The tower stands on three legs of seven floors each, containing the technical infrastructure of the building. This was done in order to free up the roof, measuring about  in area, for public use. The legs are also meant to house a restaurant and café, and part of the roof is reserved for a restaurant. There is atrium in the middle of the tower, spanning the floors above the legs. The building features double glass panels, with centrally-controlled curtains in between. Between the floors there are Dekton-covered protrusions that provide shade.

Totzeret HaAretz 2 and 3
Totzeret HaAretz 2, slated for completion in 2026 and will be  tall, making it one of the tallest buildings in the city. According to the developer, a skyscraper with  of office space was approved by the Tel Aviv local planning committee in August 2019. Its construction was officially announced in December 2021, with a height of 75 floors.

New England Telephone and Telegraph Engineering Office. The New England Telephone and Telegraph Engineering Office is a historic commercial building at 47 Pleasant Street in Brockton, Massachusetts.  Built in 1923, this Classical Revival building house support services for the main exchange of the local telephone company until about 1950, and has seen other commercial uses since then.  It was listed on National Register of Historic Places in 2019 for its architecture, and the role the telephone company played in Brockton's 20th-century growth.  It has more recently been converted to residential use.

Description and history
The former New England Telephone and Telegraph Engineering Office is located a short way west of North Main Street in downtown Brockton, on the north side of Pleasant Street.  Compared to adjacent buildings, it is set comparatively far back from the street, with a parking lot in front.  It is a brick building with two sections, a two-story section on the left and a single-story section on the right.  The left section is divided into three bays, articulated by projecting brick piers.  Each bay has two windows on the ground floor and a band of three windows on the second, except the leftmost bay, where the main building entrance is located.  The right section is a tall single story, also with three bays, although these are of irregular size.  The left bay has two pedestrian entrances, the center bay has a large two-panel garage door, and the right bay has a band of two sash windows.

The building was designed by Brockton architect Charles Olson, and was built in 1923 for the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company.  It housed offices and other service facilities ancillary to the company's main exchange building, located a few blocks to the south.  The right side housed offices, while the right side housed the company garage, and its cable yard was just to the north. By 1950, portions of the building were occupied by offices of the United Shoe Machine Company, and by 1958 it was occupied by a printer.

Nickel bis(stilbenedithiolate). Nickel bis(stilbenedithiolate) or bis(dithiobenzil)nickel is a coordination complex with the formula Ni(S2C2Ph2)2 (where Ph = phenyl).  It exists as a black solid that gives green solutions in toluene due to a strong absorption at 855 nm.  The complex is a prototype of a large family of bis(dithiolene) complexes or the formula Ni(S2C2R2)2 (R = H, alkyl, aryl).  These complexes have attracted much attention as dyes.  They are of academic interest because the dithiolenes are noninnocent ligands.  The lengths of the C-S and C-C bonds in the backbone, respectively 1.71 and 1.39 Å, are intermediate between double and single bonds.

The complex was prepared originally by treating nickel sulfide with diphenylacetylene.  High yielding syntheses involve treating nickel salts with sulfided benzoin. The complex reacts with ligands to form monodithiolene complexes of the type Ni(S2C2Ph2)L2.

Göppingen Gö 8. The Göppingen Gö 8 was a 1/5 scale model of the Dornier Do 214, a large projected trans-atlantic long-range flying boat, designed by Dornier Werke GmbH in Germany during World War II. The Gö 8 was used primarily to validate the hydro-dynamic and aerodynamic properties of the Do 214.

Design and development
The Gö 8 was designed and built by Wolf Hirth and Ulrich Hütter / Schempp-Hirth at Göppingen. Construction was primarily of wood, with smooth surfaces, replicating the planing surfaces in scale. A retractable tailwheel undercarriage was installed in the hull. The pilot sat under a long greenhouse canopy which followed the profiles of the proposed Do 214, giving good visibility. Accommodation for a flight test engineer was provided in the hull behind the pilot.

Operational history
The Gö 8 flight trials were undertaken at Oberpfaffenhofen, with hydrodynamic testing on Bodensee, towed by a motorboat. Further aerodynamic testing was carried out at the Göttingen aeronautical research laboratory.

BRUIE. BRUIE (Buoyant Rover for Under-Ice Exploration) is an autonomous underwater vehicle prototype by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.  The prototype began underwater testing in 2012 and it is meant to eventually explore the interior of water worlds in the Solar System, such as Europa or Enceladus.

Overview

On Earth, aquatic life is often found at the ice-water interface, so researchers designed the robotic rover to be buoyant and use its two wheels ( each) to roll along beneath the ice and look for life or their biosignatures. Scientists can also learn a lot from the topography of the underside of the ice, including how the ice forms. And the ice can act as a trap for gases, either from biological or geological processes.

The first BRUIE prototype began testing in 2012 in an Arctic lake in Alaska, and in Antarctica in 2019. The principal investigator is Andy Klesh at JPL; the co-investigators are Kevin Hand, Dan Berisford, John Leichty and Josh Schoolcraft. Astrobiologist Kevin Hand at JPL is the lead scientist.

Description
The rover resembles a bar  long, with two large  studded wheels at each end. BRUIE features cameras, lights, and eventually it will be equipped with wireless communication to remotely navigate autonomously without a tether. It can also carry some scientific instruments, which would be incorporated later if preliminary testing goes well. 

BRUIE uses buoyancy to remain anchored against the ice and resist water currents. The sealed air-filled cylindrical body, along with closed-cell foam inside of cone-shaped wheels, provides buoyancy force to enable roving along the underside of the ice. In can safely power down to save battery, turning on only when it needs to take a measurement, so it could spend months observing the under-ice environment at time intervals.

Challenges

One obstacle facing aquatic vehicles like BRUIE is how to deliver it through the thick ice shell. On Europa, the ice sheet could be up to  thick. One preliminary concept for delivering such vehicles through the ice shell is a nuclear-powered tunneling robot called Cryobot, proposed by German engineers. Heat from nuclear power would melt the ice and the penetrator would propel itself through the hole. Once through, the attached aquatic vehicle could be deployed to explore. The 2025 Europa Clipper orbiter will measure the ice shell thickness of Europa, which will help determine if a vehicle pair like BRUIE and Cryobot are a possible next step.

Local structure. The local structure is a term in nuclear spectroscopy that refers to the structure of the nearest neighbours around an atom in crystals and molecules. E.g. in crystals the atoms order in a regular fashion on wide ranges to form even gigantic highly ordered crystals (Naica Mine). However, in reality, crystals are never perfect and have impurities or defects, which means that a foreign atom resides on a lattice site or in between lattice sites (interstitials). These small defects and impurities cannot be seen by methods such as X-ray diffraction or neutron diffraction, because these methods average in their nature of measurement over a large number of atoms and thus are insensitive to effects in local structure. Methods in nuclear spectroscopy use specific nuclei as probe. The nucleus of an atom is about 10,000 to 150,000 times smaller than the atom itself. It experiences the electric fields created by the atom's electrons that surround the nucleus. In addition, the electric fields created by neighbouring atoms also influence the fields that the nucleus experiences.  The interactions between the nucleus and these fields are called hyperfine interactions that influence the nucleus' properties. The nucleus therefore becomes very sensitive to small changes in its hyperfine structure, which can be measured by methods of nuclear spectroscopy, such as e.g. nuclear magnetic resonance, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and perturbed angular correlation. 

With the same methods, the local magnetic fields in a crystal structure can also be probed and provide a magnetic local structure. This is of great importance for the understanding of defects in magnetic materials, which have wide range of applications such as modern magnetic materials or the giant magnetoresistance effect, that is used in materials in the reader heads of harddrives.

Research of the local structure of materials has become an important tool for the understanding of properties especially in functional materials, such as used in electronics, chips, batteries, semiconductors, or solar cells. Many of those materials are defect materials and their specific properties are controlled by defects.
