HMS Wave (J385). HMS Wave was a reciprocating engine-powered  built for the Royal Navy during the Second World War. She survived the war and was scrapped, in 1962.

Design and description
The reciprocating group displaced  at standard load and  at deep load The ships measured  long overall with a beam of . They had a draught of . The ships' complement consisted of 85 officers and ratings.

The reciprocating ships had two vertical triple-expansion steam engines, each driving one shaft, using steam provided by two Admiralty three-drum boilers. The engines produced a total of  and gave a maximum speed of . They carried a maximum of  of fuel oil that gave them a range of  at .

The Algerine class was armed with a QF  Mk V anti-aircraft gun and four twin-gun mounts for Oerlikon 20 mm cannon. The latter guns were in short supply when the first ships were being completed and they often got a proportion of single mounts. By 1944, single-barrel Bofors 40 mm mounts began replacing the twin 20 mm mounts on a one for one basis. All of the ships were fitted for four throwers and two rails for depth charges.

Construction and career

Wave was laid down by Lobnitz & Co.  of Renfrew, Scotland, on 17 March 1944. She was launched on 18 August of that year and completed on 14 November, a build time of just 8 months and 28 days.

Wave joined the 10th Minesweeping Flotilla, and in January 1945 took part in operations off Norway. She was sent to the Far East in October 1945, returning to Britain in 1946, when she joined the Fishery Protection Squadron.

On 30 September 1952, Wave was sheltering in St Ives Bay during a storm when her anchor chain broke. She was driven ashore in the town of St Ives, Cornwall, with her hull being holed. Sixty-two of her crew were taken off by breeches buoy, while the remaining 32, including the ship's officers remaining onboard until she was salvaged by two Boom defence vessels and taken to Devonport dockyard for repair. From December 1956 to July 1958, Wave was the Senior Officer's Ship of the Fishery Protection Squadron.

Wave was scrapped by King at Gateshead from 4 April 1962.

Pentamethyltantalum. Pentamethyltantalum is a homoleptic organotantalum compound.
It has a propensity to explode when it is melted. Its discovery was part of a sequence that led to Richard R. Schrock's Nobel Prize winning discovery in olefin metathesis.

Production
Pentamethyltantalum can be made from the reaction of methyllithium with dichlorotrimethyltantalum. Ta(CH3)3Cl2 is in turn made from tantalum pentachloride and dimethylzinc.

The preparation was inspired by the existence of pentaphenylphosphorus, and the discovery of hexamethyltungsten. The discoverer Richard R. Schrock considered tantalum to be a metallic phosphorus, and thus tried the use of methyllithium.

Properties
The pentamethyltantalum adopts a square pyramid shape. Ignoring the C-H bonds, the molecule has C4v symmetry. The four carbon atoms at the base of the pyramid are called basal, and the carbon atom at the top is called apical or apex. The distance from tantalum to the apical carbon atom is 2.11 Å, and to the basal carbon atoms is 2.180 Å. The distance from hydrogen to carbon in the methyl groups is 1.106 Å. The angle subtended by two basal carbon bonds is 82.2°, and the angle between the bonds to the apex and a carbon on the base is about 111.7°.

At room temperature pentamethyltantalum can spontaneously explode, so samples are usually stored in a -20°c freezer.

Reactions

With many carbon-hydrogen bonds near Ta, analogues of pentamethyltantalum are susceptible to alpha elimination.

Excess methyllithium reacts to yield higher coordinated methyl tantalum ions [Ta(CH3)6]− and [Ta(CH3)7]2−.

Pentamethyltantalum in solution forms stable insoluble complex material when mixed with dmpe (CH3)2PCH2CH2P(CH3)2.

With nitric oxide it gives a white coloured dimer with formula {TaMe3[ON(Me)NO]2}2 (Me=CH3).

Ken Slater (herpetologist). Kenneth R. Slater (22 June 1923 - 15 August 1999) was an Australian engineer and herpetologist. Slater's deliveries of snake venom were instrumental in the development of antivenom for several species.

Biography
Slater was educated as a civil engineer, but he was interested in zoology and snakes, as well. In his early years, he accompanied Eric Worrell a few times, searching for live snakes in the Australian wild. In 1952, he took a job in the oil industry in Papua New Guinea, to be able to spend more time in the wild. Shortly after, he was appointed acting animal ecologist by the Department of Agriculture of the PNG government. Just over a year after returning to Australia, Slater was appointed senior wildlife officer for South Australia in 1960, followed by a position as acting wildlife biologist for the Northern Territory Administration in 1963. He also worked some time for Worrell's Australian Reptile Park, caring for, and milking, snakes for just under a year (1959-1960).

Snake venom
Slater was an experienced snake collector and snake milker. In his Papua New Guinea years, he supplied the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories (CSL) with their first samples of Papuan taipan venom. He also provided all the Papuan black snake venom CSL used to develop and produce an antivenom for the species. This antivenom turned out to be effective for bites of the king brown snake, as well. In 1955, CSL provided Slater, Worrell, and Ram Chandra with some of the first doses of Taipan antivenom, in recognition of the dangers involved in their work.

Taxonomy
Slater described Oxyuranus scutellatus canni, commonly known as the coastal or Papuan taipan, in 1956. He named it after George Cann, longtime Snake Man of La Perouse.

Slater is commemorated in the scientific name of a species of Australian lizard, Liopholis slateri.

CSCL Indian Ocean. CSCL Indian Ocean is a container ship, operated by China Shipping Container Lines.
She was built in Ulsan, Korea, by Hyundai Heavy Industries, and launched on November 15, 2014.
At the time of her construction she, and her four sister ships, CSCL Globe, CSCL Pacific Ocean, CSCL Atlantic Ocean and CSCL Arctic Ocean, were the largest container ships afloat, each carrying 19,100 twenty-foot equivalent unit containers.  Chinese officials said the vessels cost $136 million each to build.

On February 3, 2016 CSCL Indian Ocean grounded in the River Elbe, while approaching Hamburg, Germany.  Her rudder controls were reported to have malfunctioned.  It took almost a week to free her from the sandbank, because she grounded at high-tide.  Her fuel was unloaded, and she was finally freed, February 9, six days later, during the next spring tide.  Twelve tugboats were required to assist in freeing her.  Two dredgers had helped cut away at the sandbank, near the grounding.

CSCL Indian Oceans grounding triggered commentary over the wisdom of building such large vessels.

M-STrIPES. M-STrIPES, short for Monitoring System for Tigers - Intensive Protection and Ecological Status, is a software-based monitoring system launched across Indian tiger reserves by the Indian government's National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) in 2010. The system's objective is to strengthen patrolling and surveillance of the Endangered Bengal tiger. Forest guards in tiger reserves are equipped with personal digital assistants and GPS devices to capture data relating to tiger sightings, deaths, wild life crime and ecological observations while patrolling. The software system maps the patrol routes of forest guards, and the resulting data are then analyzed in a geographic information system. This is intended to enhance the effectiveness and spatial coverage of patrols. Additional target outcomes are the evaluation of human pressure and ongoing monitoring of habitat change.

The android-based software will be used across all national Tiger reserves of the country. Use of the system in the Pench Tiger Reserve is reported to have resulted in "a significant check in anti-forest and anti-wildlife activities".

Automated negotiation. Automated negotiation is a form of interaction in systems that are composed of multiple autonomous agents, in which the aim is to reach agreements through an iterative process of making offers.

Automated negotiation can be employed for many tasks human negotiators regularly engage in, such as bargaining and joint decision making. The main topics in automated negotiation revolve around the design of protocols and strategies.

History 
Through digitization, the beginning of the 21st century has seen a growing interest in the automation of negotiation and e-negotiation systems, for example in the setting of e-commerce. This interest is fueled by the promise of automated agents being able to negotiate on behalf of human negotiators, and to find better outcomes than human negotiators.

Examples 
Examples of automated negotiation include:

 Online dispute resolution, in which disagreements between parties are settled.
 Sponsored search auction, where bids are placed on advertisement keywords.
 Content negotiation, in which user agents negotiate over HTTP about how to best represent a web resource.
 Negotiation support systems, in which negotiation decision-making activities are supported by an information system.
