Evelyn Roxburgh. Mary Evelyn Roxburgh (10 October 1896 – 24 April 1973) is believed to have been the first woman electrical engineer in Scotland and government factory inspector in England.

Life 
Evi Roxburgh was born into a family of lawyers in Edinburgh, Scotland. She enrolled in Edinburgh's Heriot-Watt College (now Heriot-Watt University), graduating with her diploma in electrical engineering in 1923. It is widely believed that she was the first woman to qualify in electrical engineering because "the only other women studying engineering in Scotland seem to have been doing civil engineering."

Work 
After graduation, she got a job working in the electrical switchgear department of Metropolitan Vickers. At the time Metro-Vicks was one of the biggest engineering companies in the country and known as "the foremost employer of female engineers in the interwar period when such work was extremely difficult to find for women, regardless of their experience or qualifications." She joined the Women's Engineering Society before 1924.

Later, she left Metro-Vicks for British Thomson-Houston, known primarily for its electrical systems and steam turbines, and located in the Midlands region.

In 1928, Roxburgh was appointed to a government agency to become HM Inspector of Factories, responsible for health and safety inspections.

In a major career change, she left engineering to take the required training to be a radiographer, and rose to become the head radiographer a hospital in Surrey. There, "one eminent consultant radiologist was known to remark that he had rarely seen radiographs of a greater diagnostic value then those taken by Miss Roxburgh." Her engineering training prepared her for the job of manipulating radiography equipment.

Retirement 
In 1950, her father died, leaving both sisters well off financially and enabling them to retire together to the village of Long Wittenham in Oxfordshire near the River Thames.

Evi Roxburgh died 24 April 1973. She is buried with her sister in the local village churchyard of St. Mary's.

Cross-browser testing. Cross-browser testing is a type of non-functional software testing where web applications are checked for support across different browsers and devices. Cross-browser testing can also provide an objective, independent view of the status of the web application to allow the business to appreciate and understand the risks of releasing it or implementing new feature(s). Test techniques include the process of executing a web application with the intent of finding failures in different browsers and devices and verifying that the website is fit for use in all of them. In other words, Cross-browser testing is verification that web application behaves in various web browsers identically

History 

The term "cross-browser testing" originated in the early 2000s with the advent of various web browsers that rendered web pages in different ways and supported different web technologies. As a result, this led to inconsistencies in the behavior of web applications across browsers. In the early 2010s, smartphones entered the device market, and their number began to grow significantly. According to the data from Statcounter, in November 2016 the number of sessions on mobile devices equaled the number of sessions on desktop devices. As of July 2021, the number of sessions on mobile devices is already 55.4%. The widespread use of mobile devices has led to the emergence of the term "cross-device testing"

Cross-browser testing process 
Cross-browser testing involves the execution of a web application to evaluate one or more properties of interest on different browsers and devices. In general, these properties indicate the extent to which the web application under test:
 meets the requirements that guided its design and development,
 responds correctly to all kinds of inputs,
 performs its functions within an acceptable time,
 is sufficiently usable,
 can be installed and run in its intended web browsers and devices
 achieves the general result its stakeholders desire.

QA engineers 
Cross-browser testing is usually performed by QA engineers. After the development team builds a web application or site, QA engineers evaluate the completed project. The QA engineer tests the consistency of the content and layout, such as how fonts and images display, and whether the responsive web design works, if applicable. Next, they check the web application or site's usability, such as features, integrations with third-party services, forms, and touch input for mobile or tablets. They also test accessibility, such as the presence of alt text for images or closed captioning for video.

Web developers 
Cross-browser testing can be conducted even if the web application is partially complete. With such an approach, also called "Full-stack web development", cross-browser tests are performed by web developers as they develop elements of the user interface and functionalities.

Super Eco 2700. Super Eco 2700 is a class of container ship. The ship type has been built in shipyards in China for various shipping companies since around the mid-2010s. The design comes from the Marine Design and Research Institute of China (MARIC).

The ships are powered by a six-cylinder two-stroke MAN SE 6G60ME-C diesel engine with an output of . The engine acts on a fixed pitch propeller. The ships are equipped with an electrically-powered bow thruster. Four diesel generators, some of which have different configurations, are available for the on-board power supply. An emergency generator is also installed.

The ships have nine  bays, one behind the other, in the holds. The holds are equipped with cell guides. They are closed with pontoon hatch covers. On deck there are nine 40-foot bays, one behind the other,  and another 40-foot bay directly in front of the deckhouse. The engine room is located in the fuselage. There is space for up to 14 containers next to each other on deck; up to seven layers can be loaded here on top of each other. On deck there are lashing bridges with cell guides for the lowest layer between the hatch covers. For the containers standing on deck directly in front of the deckhouse, the cell guides extend two layers high. The container capacity of the ships is around 2,700 TEU. With homogeneous loading with  heavy containers, the ships can load around 2,300 containers. There are 600 connections for refrigerated containers, of which 390 on deck and 210 in the holds.

Most ships were built for container handling without a ship's crane. Some of the ships were equipped with three ship cranes arranged amidships. There is a breakwater on the forecastle to protect against overflowing water.

Incident 
The Singaporean container ship  which was built as the fifth ship of the X-Press Feeders based on the Super Eco 2700 design sunk in June 2021, just near the Colombo Port in Sri Lanka after catching fire on 20 May 2021.

Sarah Tolbert. Sarah Helen Tolbert is an American chemist who is a professor in the department of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her research considers self-assembled nanomaterials, which includes inorganic phases and colloidal materials.

Early life and education 
Tolbert's father, Bert Tolbert, was a professor of chemistry at the University of Colorado Boulder. She was one of four daughters. Tolbert was an undergraduate student at Yale University. She moved to the University of California, Berkeley for graduate studies, where she studied the structural, optical and cooperative properties of nanomaterials. She was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Research and career 
Tolbert is interested in the nanoscale assembly of materials, and how these nanostructures give rise to novel phenomena. In particular, Tolbert has investigated arrays of colloids. Colloids assemble into closely-packed areas that can be used to create large scale periodic photonics materials.

Tolbert is interested in inorganic/organic co-assembly. To this end she combines block co-polymers or organic surfactants with short-chain inorganic oligomers. Her early work involved the development of novel conjugated polymer morphologies for efficient light-emitting diodes. Amongst these morphologies, Tolbert showed it was possible to embed polymers in a silica host matrix, where stretching the matrix results in aligned polymer chains that emit linearly polarized light.

Tolbert works on self-assembled nanomaterials. She is particularly interested in introducing structure and periodicity to composite materials. Tolbert has studied phase transitions in inorganic solids. She has created novel, nanostructured electrodes to allow the fast charging of batteries. These include molybdenum disulphide nanocrystal composites, where internal atomic-scale pathways allow lithium ions to speedily move through the electrode. The nanostructure electrodes not only support the efficient charging of batteries but also stable charge and discharging cycles.

Tolbert is a developer for Battery Streak, a spin-out company who look to reduce that charging time of electronic devices.

Alice C. Parker. Alice Cline Parker is an American electrical engineer. Her early research studied electronic design automation; later in her career, her interests shifted to neuromorphic engineering, biomimetic architecture for computer vision, analog circuits, carbon nanotube field-effect transistors, and nanotechnology. She is Dean's Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering of the University of Southern California.

Education and career
Parker's father, Joseph K. Cline, was a biochemist who (with Robert R. Williams) first synthesized thiamine; because of him, she grew up interested in science from a young age. Her parents divorced when she was young, and had no money to put her through college; her career in  engineering was set by a high school physics teacher, who encouraged her to apply for an engineering scholarship, with which she supported her education.
She became one of two female engineering students at North Carolina State University (NCSU), where Wayland P. Seagraves became a mentor.

After graduating from NCSU in 1970, Parker went to Stanford University on an NSF Fellowship, but was frustrated by her inability to find a faculty member who worked on brain modeling; Stanford professor Michael A. Arbib, who worked in this area, had recently moved to another university. She earned a master's degree in electrical engineering there, before marrying and following her new husband back to North Carolina. Still unable to find a research program in biomedical engineering, she returned to graduate study in computer engineering at NCSU, working on microprogrammable computer architecture with James W. Gault, and completing her Ph.D. in 1975.

She was an assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon University from 1975 to 1980, recruited there by Angel G. Jordan, and began working in high-level synthesis, the automated design of computer hardware from an algorithm describing its intended behavior. In 1980, she moved to the University of Southern California, on the recommendation of her Army Research Office grant officer, Jimmie Suttle. She has been a full professor since 1991, and has served the university as Vice Provost for Research and Vice Provost of Graduate Studies.

Recognition
Parker  was named a Fellow of the IEEE in 1991, "for contributions to design automation in the areas of high-level synthesis, hardware descriptive languages, and design representation". She was the 2009 winner of the Sharon Keillor Award for Women in Engineering Education. She was named to the NCSU Electrical and Computer Engineering Hall of Fame in 2017.
