Don Moon (educator). Don P. Moon (b. 1936) is an American academic administrator, minister, and former nuclear reactor physicist. He was the president of Shimer College from 1978 to 2004, and has been on the faculty of Shimer College since 1967.

Early life and education
Moon was born in 1936 in Manila. He was the son of Don P. Moon, an admiral in the United States Navy. Moon earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics from Cornell University in 1957, and a Master of Science in Reactor Engineering from New York University in 1958. Moon worked as a nuclear reactor physicist at Argonne National Laboratory from 1959 to 1964. He subsequently completed a Master of Divinity at Nashotah House, an Episcopalian seminary, in 1965.

Career 
From 1966 to 1967 Moon taught at Sauk Valley Community College in Dixon, Illinois.
In 1967, Moon joined the natural sciences faculty of Shimer College in nearby Mount Carroll, Illinois. While an instructor, he held administrative positions including chairman of the Natural Sciences Program, director of the Oxford Program, dean of students and dean of faculty. After the attempted closure of the college by the board of trustees in 1973, Moon became one of a small group of faculty known as the Shimer Steering Committee, who coordinated efforts to save the college.  

Moon became president of Shimer College on March 18, 1978. The college moved from Mount Carroll to Waukegan in the winter of that year, remaining there until 2006. Moon's leadership style as president was characterized as "collegial and low key", and he was credited with providing a necessary calming influence during the difficult negotiations surrounding the liquidation of the Mount Carroll Campus. During Moon's subsequent tenure, enrollment more than tripled, from 40 students to 130, and the new Waukegan campus was expanded from two buildings to 12. In 2004, Moon stepped down from the presidency but continued to teach; he was succeeded as president by William Craig Rice.

Antimony telluride. Antimony telluride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Sb2Te3. As is true of other pnictogen chalcogenide layered materials, it is a grey crystalline solid with layered structure. Layers consist of two atomic sheets of antimony and three atomic sheets of tellurium and are held together by weak van der Waals forces. Sb2Te3 is a narrow-gap semiconductor with a band gap 0.21 eV; it is also a topological insulator, and thus exhibits thickness-dependent physical properties.

Crystalline structure
Sb2Te3 has a rhombohedral crystalline structure. The crystalline material comprises atoms covalently bonded to form 5 atom thick sheets (in order: Te-Sb-Te-Sb-Te), with sheets held together by van der Waals attraction. Due to its layered structure and weak inter-layer forces, bulk antimony telluride may be mechanically exfoliated to isolate single sheets.

Synthesis
Although antimony telluride is a naturally occurring compound, select stoichiometric compounds may be formed by the reaction of antimony with tellurium at 500–900 °C.

2 Sb(l) + 3 Te(l) → Sb2Te3(l)

Applications
Like other binary chalcogenides of antimony and bismuth, Sb2Te3 has been investigated for its semiconductor properties.  It can be transformed into both n-type and p-type semiconductors by doping with an appropriate dopant.

Doping Sb2Te3 with iron introduces multiple Fermi pockets, in contrast to the single frequency detected for pure Sb2Te3, and results in reduced carrier density and mobility.

Sb2Te3 forms the pseudobinary intermetallic system germanium-antimony-tellurium with germanium telluride, GeTe.

Like bismuth telluride, Bi2Te3, antimony telluride has a large thermoelectric effect and is therefore used in solid state refrigerators.

UPIITA. The Interdisciplinary Professional Unit in Engineering and Advanced Technologies (in Spanish: Unidad Profesional Interdisciplinaria en Ingeniería y Tecnologías Avanzadas or UPIITA) is one of the schools of the National Polytechnic Institute, located in Mexico City, Mexico. It offers undergraduate studies in Bionics, Telematics, Mechatronics, and Energy engineering, as well as postgraduate programs in Advanced Technology.

UPIITA is currently one of the most demanded engineering schools in Mexico. Thousands of students apply each year through an admission test, but only a few hundred (around 300) are accepted. It stands as one of the best and most demanding engineering schools in the country, where many teachers work in scientific research. 

Originally, UPIITA was meant to hold a larger number of students, but since the 75% of students quit before the 3rd semester, most classrooms were turned into technology labs.

B. D. Rampala. Bamunusinghearachchige Don Rampala  (14 November 1910 – 20 June 1994), popularly known as B. D. Rampala, was a chief mechanical engineer and later general manager of Sri Lanka Railways.  He was the first native Sri Lankan to hold the post of chief mechanical engineer.  In 1956, the Institution of Locomotive Engineers in London recognised Rampala as the finest diesel engineer in Asia at the time.

Education and training 
Rampala was born on 14 November 1910 in Pannipitiya Rukmale. He received his education at Kottawa Ananda Maha Vidyalaya (then Kottawa Buddhist Mix School)
Nalanda College Colombo & Ananda College Colombo.

After completing his engineering apprenticeship in 1934 at Colombo University College, he joined Ratmalana Railway Mechanical Engineering Department of the then Ceylon Government Railway (present Sri Lanka Railways).

Chief mechanical engineer 
In 1949 he was appointed as chief mechanical engineer of the Railways, the first Sri Lankan man at that post. During his time at this post, Rampala noticed many major railways around the world were upgrading from steam locomotives to diesel.  He made his proposal to dieselise the Sri Lanka Railways, and in 1953, the first batch of diesel locomotives arrived from Brush Bagnall of the United Kingdom.  When the locomotives started faulting, Rampala made modifications to them.  When inspected by the British builders, his modifications were approved and not challenged against their original design.  He submitted a paper on his observations to the Institution of Locomotive Engineers in London, which gave him full praise.

General manager 
Rampala was, in 1955, appointed as the general manager of the Sri Lanka Railways.

Rampala sought to upgrade the railways.  In the mid-1950s, he launched express trains to shorten journey times to major destinations.  Named trains, like the Yal Devi and the Udarata Menike, were launched under his leadership. When he launched the Colombo-Matara Ruhunu Kumari train service, in October 1955, it was Rampala himself who drove the train from Colombo to Matara.

Until, the 1950s, Sri Lanka Railways operated entirely with a lock and block signalling system. Rampala introduced electronic colour signalling for the busiest portions of the railways in 1959. Train movements could then be controlled by a Centralized Traffic Control panel at Maradana, greatly improving safety.

Recognition 
In 1956, the Institution of Locomotive Engineers in London recognised Rampala as the Best Diesel Engineer in Asia.

Death and legacy
He died on 20 June 1994 at the age of 84.

In addition to improving safety on the Sri Lanka Railways, Rampala has been remembered for his mark on culture.  He created the Yal Devi train to connect Colombo, the capital, and Jaffna.  In doing so, he created a cultural icon that transcended any divides between north and south.

Blas C. Silva Boucher. Blas C. Silva Boucher (2 February 1869 - 27 January 1949) was a twentieth-century Puerto Rican engineer from Ponce, Puerto Rico. He is credited with the creation of the Ponce Creole architectural style, even though he was trained as an engineer, not a designer.

Early years
Blas Cornelio Silva Boucher was born in Hormigueros, Puerto Rico on 2 February 1869.

Schooling
Silva received his high school diploma from the Liceo de Mayaguez (Mayaguez Liceum) and then studied engineering in Spain through a scholarship from the Sociedad Protectora de la Inteligencia (Intelligence Protection Society).  In Madrid, Silva did freelance school work in road, drainage, and ports engineering. He then entered the prestigious Spanish National Engineering School where he studied for eight years.  He did his practicums in Aragon, Catalonia and Valencia, Spain.

Professional life
He returned to the Island where he took an engineering position in the Puerto Rico Public Works Bureau.  Three years later, he resigned to establish his own private engineering practice. When the post of City Engineer became vacant in the city of Ponce, Silva was unanimously selected, from among various applicants, as the candidate to fill the position.

Death and legacy
Silva died in San Juan on 27 January 1949.  Among Silva's most distinguished works are the Font-Ubides House (1913) and the Subira Residence (1910), both listed in the National Register of Historic Places. He also designed and built the Salazar-Candal House (1919).

Honors
He is honored at Ponce's Park of the Illustrious Ponce Citizens. Ponce's best-known bridge, Puente de los Leones, located over Río Portugués on PR-1/Bulevar Miguel Pou at Calle Lolita Tizol, was named "Puente Blas Silva" before it was renamed Puente de Los Leones.

Contemporary recognition
The Puerto Rico Historical Preservation Office recently said of him, "Blas Silva was probably the most established of the 'wedding-cake architects' and was thus sought after mostly by the 'nouveau riche' of the period. Silva's houses are among the richest in Ponce, among which the [Font-Ubides] stands out for its circular porches."  It added that "Silva, as had other foreign-trained architects, succeeded in integrating classical education with the traditional elements of the Spanish Caribbean."

Magazine paper. Magazine papers are paper grades generally used in printing of magazines.

Manufacture

Magazine papers are made on paper machines from pulp. The pulp may be recycled, mechanical or chemical depending on the magazine quality. Publishers select the type of paper that not only meets their customers' requirements, but also works well in their machinery.

Paper grades
Different paper grades are used in magazines:
 Machine finished specialties (MFS) is a special newsprint grade that is heavier, bulkier and brighter.
 Supercalendered papers are often used in rotogravure. These are uncoated and based on mechanical pulp.
 Coated mechanical paper are classified depending on the coating weight. Normally higher coating weight gives higher paper quality.
 Machine finished coated papers are high gloss papers based on mechanical pulp.
 Offset paper is an uncoated paper based on chemical pulp suitable for offset printing.
 Standard coated fine papers are often used for offset printing.
 Woodfree Papers made only from cellulose, usually containing less than 10% mechanical content. Coated woodfree or uncoated woodfree. Also Known as a free sheet (USA).

Kerala Hitech Industries Limited. Kerala Hitech Industries Limited (KELTEC) was an Indian aerospace company in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Its product-mix included systems required for the launch vehicles, satellite and non-rotating systems of turbojet aircraft engines. KELTEC was acquired by BrahMos Aerospace and rebranded as Brahmos Aerospace Trivandrum Ltd (BATL) in 2007.

Manufacturing facility
The Manufacturing facility is set up in a  campus in Thiruvananthapuram in the State of Kerala adjacent to the Trivandrum International Airport. The built-up area is about 10,000 sq.meters and the manpower is 300. KELTEC is a single stop work centre with multidisciplinary capability such as Conventional and CNC Machining, Metal Forming, Auto TIG and Electron Beam Welding, Vacuum Brazing, Heat Treatment, Surface Treatment etc. State-of-the-art systems for Quality Control and Metrology support the above manufacturing facilities. KELTEC can also undertake design and development of aerospace components, development of special processes like vacuum brazing of aluminium components, design and realisation of tools and fixtures required for production.

KELTEC manufactures a number of major systems for the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV), including Inertial Control Systems; Control System Components; High Pressure Titanium Gas Bottles; Fuel / Oxidizer Tankages & Feed Line Systems, Liquid Propulsion Engine, Convergent Divergent Nozzles; and Launch Vehicle Solid Rocket Motor Cases.

The Vikas engine is a Liquid Propellant Rocket engine which is used in the second stage of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and the second stage and strap-on stages of the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). The entire Engine which comprises more than 500 machined and welded components is manufactured at KELTEC.

Inception of KELTEC 
On 18 January 1991 the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) signed an agreement with the Russian space agency Glavkosmos for the transfer of cryogenic technology. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia was under considerable American influence. In this backdrop, both Glavkosmos and ISRO anticipated the United States would try and stymie the deal. So Glavkosmos and ISRO drew up a back-up plan to outsource the manufacture of the cryogenic engines to Kerala Hi-tech Industries Limited (KELTEC). The arrangement was designed to get around the provisions of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). The space czars of the two countries, Aleksey Vasin, officer-in-charge of cryogenic technology in Glavkosmos, and ISRO Chairman U.R. Rao – reckoned that if Russian cryogenic technology was passed on to ISRO via KELTEC, technically it would not be a violation of the MTCR.

Michael Moutoussis. Michael Moutoussis (, 1885 – 16 March 1956) was a Hellenic Army officer and pioneer of military aviation. Together with Aristeidis Moraitinis, he performed the first naval air mission in history during the Balkan Wars.

Early career

Moutoussis, originally an Engineers officer, became one of the first six Greek officers in 1912 who were selected to receive aviation training in France, in order to man the newly established aviation branch of the Hellenic Army. In the following Balkan Wars (1912–1913) he initially carried out bombing missions on Turkish positions. At the beginning of December 1912, he was positioned in the Epirus front, where he performed various scouting and bombing operations in the region around Ioannina. At the end of the month he was ordered to move to the Aegean front of the war, where he took part in the Battle of Lemnos.

Reconnaissance over the Dardanelles
On  a few days after the Greek naval victory at Lemnos, First Lieutenant Moutoussis and Ensign Aristeidis Moraitinis were ordered to find the position of the retreated Ottoman fleet in the Dardanelles with their seaplane, a converted Maurice Farman MF.7. When they reached the Nara naval base, they noted down the Turkish ships and installations. Before they left the area, they also dropped four bombs, but without inflicting any serious damage or casualties. During the return flight, an engine failure forced them down in the Aegean Sea; they were finally collected by the crew of the nearby . This operation is regarded as the first naval-air operation in military history and was widely commented upon in the press, both Greek and international.Moutoussis also participated in the Macedonian front of World War I as well as in the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922), where he was positioned in Proussa Air Field.
