75 Engineer Regiment (United Kingdom). 75 Engineer Regiment is a Royal Engineers regiment, part of the British Army's Army Reserve.

History 
In 1967, the regiment consisted of 125 and 143 Squadrons) from the former North Midland Divisional Engineers. In 1993 and 1999 respectively, 125 (Staffordshire) Field Squadron at Stoke-on-Trent and 143 Plant Squadron at Walsall fell under the command the 75th Engineer Regiment. 143 Plant Squadron was subsequently disbanded, but 125 Field Squadron was expanded with a Plant Troop at Cannock. Under the initial Army 2020 restructuring, the regiment has been paired with the 36th Engineer Regiment. Additionally, the regiment will move 12 (Force Support) Engineer Group.

On 4 February 2021, the regiment formally took responsibility for the Isle of Man Army Reserve Centre.  The Commanding Officer later issued a statement indicating he wished to expand the Army Reserve presence on the island, and eventually become part of the regiment.

Current organisation 
The regiment's current organisation is as follows:

 Regimental Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, at Peninsula Barracks, Warrington
 106 (West Riding) Field Squadron, at Bailey Barracks, Sheffield – formerly part of 32 Engineer Regiment, but transferred out following Army 2020 Refine
 2 Troop, in Batley

Superoscillation. Superoscillation is a phenomenon in which a signal which is globally band-limited can contain local segments that oscillate faster than its fastest Fourier components. The idea is originally attributed to Yakir Aharonov, and has been made more popularly known through the work of Michael Berry, who also notes that a similar result was known to Ingrid Daubechies.

In 2007, Huang experimentally observed optical superoscillation phenomenon in the diffraction patterns of light transmitted through quasi-periodic nanohole arrays. Optical foci much smaller than the diffraction limit were observed. The results matched simulations without evanescent waves. In 2009, Huang et al further developed theoretical models to design superoscillation masks that can achieve extreme light concentration and imaging with arbitrary resolution. A practical method for constructing superoscillations and a discussion of their potential for quantum field theory were given by Achim Kempf. Chremmos and Fikioris have proposed a method for constructing superoscillations that approximate a desired polynomial with arbitrary accuracy within a given interval. In 2013 experimental generation of arbitrarily shaped diffractionless superoscillatory optical beams has been demonstrated. Two years later, in 2015, it was shown experimentally that super-oscillations can generate features that are many-fold smaller than the diffraction limit. The experiment was done using visible light, demonstrating enhanced resolution of 35 nm.  Kempf and Ferreira proved that superoscillations come at the expense of a dynamical range that has to increase exponentially with the number of superoscillations and polynomially with the frequency of the superoscillations.

Superoscillatory wave forms are being considered as a possible practical tool for engineering applications, such as optical superresolution, i.e., resolution beyond the diffraction limit.

The vehicle had a normal sedan class car body with four doors and sitting capacity of three crew members and one driver, these were used as railway maintenance vehicle. There were three models produced over time 12, 30 and 52 each one had bigger engine than before the last generation 52 model had a Petrol, air-cooled inline four-cylinder engine which produced 30hp. It has a two speed manual transmission and drum brakes at front and rear, while the vehicle was front engine and rear driven. The vehicle was intended to drive in both directions, for which a lifting system was installed in the middle of the vehicle to turn in the preferred direction

The vehicle has the same levels of comfort as normal road driven cars, with solid axles and leaf spring suspensions at both front and rear. All three models are available for display at Tatra technical museum Kopřivnice, Czech Republic. The vehicle was seen in a 1966 comedy film Closely Watched Trains produced by Barrandov Studios.

Engineering Council of South Africa. The Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) is the statutory body for engineering profession in South Africa. Its functions are to accredit the engineering programs and to register the engineering professionals in specified categories throughout the country.

Overview
It was established in terms of the Engineering Profession Act 2000 (Act No. 46 of 2000), although its history dates to the South African Council for Professional Engineers (SACPE) in 1969.

Professional Titles 
The council regulates the practice of engineering, including titles as follows:

 Professional Engineer (Pr Eng)
 Professional Engineering Technologist (Pr Tech Eng)
 Professional Certificated Engineer (Pr Cert Eng)
 Professional Engineering Technician (Pr Eng Techni)

Identification of Work 
The council has been working towards a regulated industry for several years and is going towards implementation by 25 March 2024. The Identification of Engineering Work (IDoEW). The regulation did have several challenges in the past including the Competition Commission.

The regulations have their inceptions back in 2000, section 26(4), which already start limiting the practice to be performed under a registered person. Later editions were made in August 2006 to outline clear prohibitions under section 3. The prohibition was communicated in October 2013, section 5.2, by ECSA. Offences and penalties are outlined in the Engineering Profession Act 2000 (Act No. 46 of 2000) section 41. The implementation process started in March 2021 with a 3 year implementation period; all the engineering practitioners need to be registered by March 2024.

The CEO of the Council for the Built Environment, Dr Msizi Myeza has issued a response also in this regard, "illegal for the non-registered persons to administer and lead infrastructure projects in South Africa". The letter is broad as it goes beyond ECSA and includes all other disciplines within the environment.

Finances
The current financial surplus increased from 92.5 million to 112.6 million and then was followed by the cash reserves which also increased from 75.3 million to 90.9 million from 2022 to 2023.

Accreditation
Signatories of the following international education agreements have agreed to recognize educational programs that are accredited by ECSA:

 Washington Accord (since 1999) and recognition of BEng Degree Programs.
 Sydney Accord (since 2001) and recognition of BTech Degree Programs.
 Dublin Accord (since 2002) and recognition of National Diploma Programs.
The accreditation of honours in combination of masters programs are in progress and currently no honours & masters degrees have been accredited.

List of mills in Derbyshire. This is a list of the cotton and other textile mills in Derbyshire, England. The first mills were built in the 1760s in the Derwent Valley by Arkwright and Strutt, and were powered by the water of the River Derwent. The abundance of water from the River Etherow and its tributaries led to mills being built in Longdendale and Glossopdale, and similarly along the River Wye in Millers Dale. As the industry developed, the mills changed hands, were demolished, were converted to use steam, or consolidated into larger units. They changed their names and their functions. Water-powered mills were smaller than the later steam-powered mills found in Greater Manchester. Parts of Derbyshire have been subsumed into Stockport.

Blackburn B.44. The Blackburn B.44  was a British single-engined fighter aircraft designed by Blackburn Aircraft in 1942. It was notable as a rare example of a flying boat fighter, featuring Blackburn's unique retractable hull, and designed to meet the requirements of Air Ministry Specification N.2/42.

Development 
After Japan's initial successes in the Pacific during World War II, the need for a fighter aircraft capable of operating from austere island sites with minimal infrastructure was regarded as a high priority.

N.2/42 called for a retractable-hull flying-boat fighter, and Blackburn decided to utilise as much of the structure of the Blackburn Firebrand as possible. The fuselage of the aircraft was to be split in two with the lower float-like half extending and retracting hydraulically.

The Napier Sabre engine was to have been in the nose of the upper fuselage half, and armament was to have been carried in the wings. The protracted development due to engine supply difficulties and serious control and stability shortcomings of the Firebrand, led to cancellation of the B.44. Further work on the flying boat fighter concept was carried out by Saunders-Roe, leading to the Saunders-Roe SR.A/1.

Xtol. Xtol is a photographic developer manufactured by Eastman Kodak company.

Xtol is one of the few developers that do not contain hydroquinone. It uses derivatives of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and phenidone as developing agents. Claimed advantages include low toxicity (important for environmental reasons as well as occupational safety), easy mixing, and an unusual combination of fine grain with high film speed.  

Xtol was covered by a US patent until its expiry in 2016. It is sold by Kodak in a powdered form to make 5 litres of developer. A similar formula, compatible with Xtol in terms of developing times and the resulting contrast curves, is sold by Adox under the name XT-3 in powder packages for 1 or 5 litres of developing solution.
