Nabinagar Super Thermal Power Project. Nabinagar Super Thermal Power Project is a coal-based thermal power plant located at Sivanpur village in Ankorha in Nabinagar taluk in Aurangabad district, Bihar. It was conceptualised in 1989 by the then Chief Minister of Bihar Satyendra Narayan Sinha who sent the  proposal to set up a NTPC's super thermal power project at Nabinagar in Bihar's Aurangabad district to then Prime Minister of India Rajiv Gandhi; but the project went into limbo as the following state governments failed to follow it. In 2007, Manmohan Singh's government finally put a stamp of approval on it.

The power plant is owned by the Nabinagar Power Generating Company- initially a 50:50 joint venture between NTPC Limited and Bihar State Power Holding Company Limited. The Nabinagar plant will have capacity of 4380 MW( 660MW X 6). The project's generation capacity initially was to be 3960 MW but in 2016, the production capacity was increased to 4380 MW. Nabinagar Super Thermal Power Project will be third largest power project in India, after 4700 MW Vindhyachal Thermal Power Station (Singrauli) and maharashtra belar.

This Super Thermal Power Project is spread over 2970 acres, which includes  150 acre of land for the township and 63 acres of land for construction of rail corridor. On 17 April 2018, Bihar state cabinet, headed by chief minister Nitish Kumar,  gave its nod to handing over of Nabinagar Power Generating Company to National Thermal Power Corporation. On 15 May 2018, Bihar Government signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to hand over the thermal plant to National Thermal Power Corporation for a 33- years lease. For the Nabinagar plant's Bihar would get 78% of the electricity generated from the plant, while UP would get 11%, jharkhand 3% and Sikkim 1%.

Capacity
The planned capacity of the power plant in 1980 MW (3x660 MW). Unit-1 with  capacity to generate 660MW, is scheduled to be commissioned in Dec'18.

Future expansion
There is a plan to add three units of 800 MW each at the site in future.

Process network synthesis. Process network synthesis (PNS) is a method to represent a process structure in a 'directed bipartite graph'. Process network synthesis uses the P-graph method to create a process structure. The scientific aim of this method is to find optimum structures.

Process network synthesis uses a bipartite graph method P-graph and employs combinatorial rules to find all feasible network solutions (maximum structure) and links raw materials to desired products related to the given problem. With a branch and bound optimisation routine and by defining the target value an optimum structure can be generated that optimises a chosen target function. 

Process Network Synthesis was originally developed to solve chemical process engineering processes. Target value as well as the structure can be changed depending on the field of application. Thus many more fields of application followed.

Applications
At Pannon University software the tools PNS Editor and PNS Studio were programmed to generate maximum structure of processes. This software includes the p-graph method and MSG, SSG and ABB branch and bound algorithms to detect optimum structures within the maximum available process flows.

PNS is used in different applications where it can be used to find optimum process structures like:
 Process engineering: Chemical process designs and the Synthesis of chemical processes is applied in different case studies.
 Optimum energy technology networks for regional and urban energy systems: In case of regional and urban energy planning the financially most feasible solution for resource systems is selected as target value. With this setting material- and energy flows, energy demand and cost of technologies are considered and the optimum technology network can be found. Simultaneously the robustness of technologies due to price changes and limitations in resource availability can be identified.
 Evacuation routes in buildings: The aim is to find optimal routes to evacuate buildings depending on specific side parameters.
 Transportation routes: In this research area transportation routes with minimum cost and lowest environmental impact can be identified.

Yahya Ould Hademine. Yahya Ould Hademine (; born December 31, 1953) is a Mauritanian engineer and politician who served as Defense Minister of Mauritania. He served as the Prime Minister of Mauritania from August 21, 2014 to October 29, 2018.

Biography
Yahya Ould Hademine was born on December 31, 1953, in Timbédra. He received his primary education in Djigueni. Yahya attended the College of Aïoun between 1967 and 1970, and later studied at the Lycée national de Nouakchott from 1971 to 1974. After moving to Canada in 1974, he earned a degree in Metallurgical Engineering from the École Polytechnique de Montréal in 1979.   

After moving back to Mauritania, he began working for the National industrial and mining company (SNIM), which mines for iron in Mauritania, and he became head of a steel mill in 1979.  

Between 1985 and 1988 Yahya served as Head of Department purchases for SNIM. In 1989, he was promoted to CEO of the Arab Society of Iron and Steel (SAFA), which is a subsidiary of SNIM. 

Yahya was appointed general manager of the Sanitation Maintenance and Transportation Works (SMTA) in 2008. He said there were too many engineers in the SMTA, and the quality of work was poor. After the 2008 Mauritanian coup d'état that overthrew President Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi, Yahya sided with the coup leaders and was allowed to keep his job. 

In December 2010, Yahya became Minister of Equipment and Transport. In his four years as minister, he made no significant changes. 

After President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz was reelected in June 2014, he appointed Yahya to the premiership on August 21. Yahya replaced Moulaye Ould Mohamed Laghdaf, who had been Prime minister since 2008. Pledging to promote the participation of women in political, economic and social development, Yahya appointed seven women to his government when it was formed three days after his appointment as prime minister. 

Yahya met with Chinese Special Envoy on the Middle East Issues Gong Xiaosheng on May 19, 2015, to discuss bilateral relations. He spoke at an agriculture conference in December 2015, and emphasized that his government fully supports the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA)'s initiative to “expand wheat production in the country to enhance national food security and reduce dependence on increasing wheat imports.” In June 2016, he caused controversy when he called Ahmed Baba Ould Azizi, President of the General Confederation of Employers of Mauritania, "a terrorist, worse than Al Qaeda and Daesh together." He resigned from the premiership on October 29, 2018.  

In 2022, he was accused of « bad governance, abuse of power and corruption », during his terms as prime minister and Minister of Transport, a judgment is required against him according to the National Anti-Corruption Prosecution.

Personal life
Yahya is married and has four children. In 2021, he was jailed for corruption.

Church V-8. The Church V-8 is a V-8 4-stroke aircraft engine developed from the Ford flathead V8 engine in the United States in the late 1930s.

Design and development
The 90 degree V8 with downdraft carburetors was certified under Aircraft Type Certificate No. 224 on 10 October 1939 after 150hrs of testing. The engine was developed in 1939 as a lightweight air-cooled variant of the side-valve Ford engine for aircraft using the Ford crankshaft, connecting rods and pistons.

Operational history
A low wing retractable gear side-by-side aircraft likened to a little Seversky, (alluding to the Seversky monoplanes such as the P-35 making headway on the US racing circuit), was developed to use the engine. Church's wartime enlistment into the Navy flying Corsairs diverted development and production ceased in 1942. The prototype engine was then used on an ice-boat, which sank to the bottom of a lake after breaking through ice. The engine was recovered and later restored for display in 1973 by Continental Motors, Inc. and the EAA Museum.

AN/GYK-12. The AN/GYK-12 is an obsolete 32-bit minicomputer developed by Litton Industries for the United States Army.  The AN/GYK-12 is a militarized version of the L-3050 computer ruggedized for use in the TACFIRE tactical fire direction system and in the TOS² (Tactical Operating System, Operable Segment) system which was never fielded.  The design dates from the 1960s.

In 1980, the Army introduced the Nebula instruction set architecture (MIL-STD-1862), intended as an upgrade to the AN/GYK-12.  Nebula is also a 32-bit architecture with 32-bit addressing mode and instructions optimized for running programs written in Ada.

Description
The basic system consists of three rack-mounted modules: The CPU, the IOU (Input/Output unit), and the MCMU. Modules are mounted vertically and are  wide by  high.

The AN/GYK-12 has a 32-bit instruction format and operates on data from one bit to a doubleword (64 bits) in size. Only fixed-point binary arithmetic is provided.

The system can have a maximum of 32768 pages—64 million words—of 2 μs memory (256 MB). Physically memory is divided into banks of 8 KW to minimize memory contention.  Logically it is divided into pages of 2 KW each. Access to pages is controlled by 16 Page Control and Address Registers per program level, allowing an individual program to directly address 128 KB at one time.

The AN/GYK-12 CPU features 64 hardware priority program levels, numbered from 0 (highest) to 63 (lowest).  One task can run at each level.  Level 0 is reserved for "power off". Level 1 is power-on restart. Level 2 handles hardware and program  errors.  Level 63 is entered after completion of a boot load.  Therefore the system can support a maximum of 60 user tasks.  Tasks are scheduled preemptively—a task will run until an error occurs, until it gives up control to another task, or until successful completion of an input/output operation transfers control to the so-called normal program level.

Each task also has a privilege level, which controls  the operations it is allowed to perform.  Level '00'b is used for non-privileged programs.  Level '01'b programs are semi-privileged.  Level '10'b programs are privileged and can execute all instructions and I/O operations.  Level '11'b is unused.

The system uses Sylvania Universal High Level II Integrated Circuits (SUHL II), manufactured by Collins Radio, Honeywell, Raytheon and Motorola Semi-Conductor Division.
