MuJoCo. MuJoCo, short for Multi-Joint dynamics with Contact, is a general purpose physics engine that is tailored to scientific use cases such as robotics, biomechanics and machine learning. It was first described in 2012 in a paper by Emanuel Todorov, Tom Erez, and Yuval Tassa, and later commercialized under Roboti LLC. According to a Google Scholar search, as of April 2024 the original publication has been cited 5329 times, and the MuJoCo engine 9250 times. It was described by Zhao and Queralta in their review as one of "the most widely used simulators in the literature".

MuJoCo was acquired by Google DeepMind in October 2021 and open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license in May 2022. Parts of the Deepmind control suite are powered by the MuJoCo engine.

Suzano Maranhão Thermal Power Plant. The Suzano Maranhão Thermal Power Plant (Portuguese: Usina Termelétrica Suzano Maranhão) is a biomass-fired power station inaugurated in April 2014 and located in the city of Imperatriz, in Maranhão, Brazil. It supplies energy to the Suzano Papel e Celulose factory in Imperatriz, which has an annual production capacity of 1.65 million tons of pulp.

Structure 
The planting of eucalyptus in the south of Maranhão, Pará and Tocantins, as well as the transportation of production through the Itaqui Port in São Luís via the North-South, Carajás and Transnordestina railroads, allowed for the installation of a thermal power station in Imperatriz.

The Suzano Papel e Celulose also built a 28 km railroad branch line that runs from inside the thermal power station to the North-South railroad. There was an industrial investment estimated at US$ 2.4 billion, in addition to US$ 575 million allocated to the development of the forestry base.

Energy capacity 
The Suzano Maranhão Thermal Power Plant is capable of producing 254.84 MW when operating on a self-production basis. It can provide electricity for its own use and supply the chemical plant for the production of sodium chlorate, chlorine dioxide and oxygen. The surplus of 100 MW is exported to the National Interconnected System. As fuel, the power plant uses the black liquor obtained in the pulp manufacturing process and forestry waste.

Sea of nodes. A sea of nodes is a graph representation of single-static assignment (SSA) representation of a program that combines data flow and control flow, and relaxes the control flow from a total order to a partial order, keeping only the orderings required by data flow. It is similar to a value dependency graph (VDG).

It makes it easier for an optimizer to reorder instructions, but requires a global code motion algorithm to convert it back into a control flow graph (CFG). It allows dead code elimination and constant propagation to be done together, which allows both optimizations to apply more often.

It is used as an intermediate representation (IR) in HotSpot, LibFirm, GraalVM, and V8's TurboFan JIT compiler.

Edward C. Huffaker. Edward C. Huffaker was an American pioneer of manned flight best known for suggesting decades before anyone else that the Bernoulli Principle may allow curved wings to fly.

In 1889, he performed glider experiments in Chuckey, Tennessee. From 1895 to 1896, he worked for the Smithsonian Institution on aviation modeling by invitation of Octave Chanute. Late in 1896, he returned to Chuckey to test more gliders under the Smithsonian's Samuel Langley's instruction. He left the Smithsonian in 1898 following disagreements with Langley.

Huffaker worked with the Wright brothers but they did not care for his personality or hygiene.

Huffaker patented a flight-stabilization device in 1920.

Huffaker never flew in an airplane.

SLTEC Calaca Power Station. The SLTEC Calaca Power Station  is a 270-MW coal-fired power station in Calaca, Batangas, Philippines.

History
The power plant was a project of South Luzon Thermal Corp. (SLTEC), a company jointly owned by Trans-Asia Oil and Energy Development Corp. of the PHINMA Group and AC Energy (ACEN) of the Ayala Group.

The first unit of SLTEC's coal power station in Calaca, Batangas became operational on April 24, 2015 and the second one on February 25, 2016.

By 2021, ACEN would acquire full stakes on SLTEC, acquiring the shares of Axia Power Holdings Philippines of Marubeni. ACEN would completely divest it shares on SLTEC in 2022, marking its full transition to renewable energy. This marks the commencement of the plant's early retirement by 2030.

Geoffrey Wilson Greenwood. Geoffrey Wilson Greenwood FREng FRS (3 February 1929—13 December 2022) was a British materials scientist who specialised in physical metallurgy.

Born in Low Moor, West Yorkshire, England, Geoffrey Greenwood was drawn to physics in school, and went on to study as an undergraduate in the subject at Sheffield University—an institution he would be affiliated with throughout his life, including a tenure as Head of the Department of Metallurgy and later Pro-Vice-Chancellor. His interests turned to physical metallurgy in his postgraduate years—his PhD thesis was entitled ‘A study of some factors affecting the cleavage of metals’.

Following his studies at Sheffield, Greenwood joined the Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE) at Harwell, Oxfordshire, where his metallurgy experience was put to use in the design of nuclear reactors. Following this, he led research into nuclear fuels and their containment for the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) in England and Wales; helped to establish the Berkeley Nuclear Laboratories in Gloucestershire; and was appointed Science Research Manager for the newly established Electricity Council Research Centre at Capenhurst, Cheshire.

His work led to interactions and roles with a range of organisations, including the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining; the Institute of Physics; Sheffield Metallurgical and Engineering Association; Banaras Hindu University; and the Department of Materials Engineering at Zhejiang University. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1992.

Corridor Identification and Development Program. The Corridor Identification and Development Program, abbreviated as the Corridor ID Program, is a comprehensive planning program for inter-city passenger rail projects in the United States administered by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) under the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Each route accepted into the program is granted $500,000 toward planning activities and is prioritized for future federal funding.

, a total of 69 passenger rail corridors have been accepted into the Corridor ID Program. Of these, 7 are new high-speed rail routes, 34 are new conventional rail routes, 13 are existing routes with proposed extensions, and 15 are existing routes with proposed upgrades. For example, accepted projects include Brightline West high-speed rail, the Northern Lights Express from Minneapolis to Duluth, the Heartland Flyer extension from Oklahoma City to Newton, and frequency increases for the  and .

History

The $1.8 billion Corridor ID Program was authorized by Congress with the passage of the IIJA in November 2021 and was formally established in May 2022. The FRA began soliciting its first round of applications in December 2022 and made its first selection of 69 corridors in December 2023.

Program

The purpose of the Corridor ID Program is to identify potential passenger rail expansion projects and to provide seed funding for planning stages. Construction and operational funding are not included. Eligible entities are invited to submit projects for consideration. Such entities include Amtrak, regional rail authorities, states, groups of state, state subdivisions, regional planning organizations, and federally recognized tribes. Once selected, each corridor is initially granted $500,000 toward project planning activities. Projects proceed through three steps:

 Step 1: Determination of the scope, schedule, and cost estimate for preparing a Service Development Plan
 Step 2: Preparation of the Service Development Plan. This plan must list details including train frequencies, peak and average operating speeds, trip times, station locations, capital projects, rolling stock needs, economic impacts, environmental benefits, and the project schedule. These grants require a 10% match from entities.
 Step 3: Project development work readying the Service Development Plan for implementation, such as environmental impact statements and engineering design. Step 3 awardees must input a 20% match.

List of corridors

This list is current . A total of 69 passenger rail corridors spanning 44 states have been accepted into the Corridor ID Program.
