Anna Boyksen. Anna Helene Koch ( Boyksen; 11 August 1881 – 1920) was the first female engineering student at the Technical University of Munich.

Life 
Anna Boyksen was born on 11 August 1881 in Havendorfersand, Grand Duchy of Oldenburg, to Dietrich Anton Boyksen, a merchant, and his wife Mathilde, née Lubben. In her curriculum vitae, Boyksen claimed her nationality as Bavarian and religion as evangelical.

In 1906, she enrolled in the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Technical University of Munich and obtained the Vordiplom two years later. She then studied economics and law at the University of Erlangen. In 1911, she defended her dissertation, titled Die deutschen Börsenordnungen. Eine vergleichende Darstellung (The German Stock Exchange Regulations. A Comparative Representation), under her married name Anna Helene Koch.

Legacy 
The Anna Boyksen Diversity Research Center at TUM "explores human diversity and the opportunities of diversity for society. Its work focuses on a question often overlooked in Germany: How can the natural, engineering and life sciences benefit from a more diverse community culture?"

The Anna Boyksen Fellowship has been offered by the TUM Institute for Advanced Study since 2014. The Fellowship is granted to outstanding international scholars and researchers who wish to probe gender / diversity-related problems in the Natural and Engineering Sciences, in collaboration with TUM researchers.  The two-year Fellowship was created to help advance TUM's goal to become "Germany's most attractive university for women" and to foster a productive and durable exchange of ideas and solutions on an international level.

Russian AI Cup. Russian AI Cup is the annual championship on programming of an artificial intelligence organized by Mail.Ru Group and My.com.

The Russian AI Cup is carried out in the form of a game for descriptive reasons, clearness and simplicity. Briefly, participants create an algorithm that describes a game strategy. The resulting bot is fighting with other similar. The best of them wins the round. Thus, from a series of rounds the tournament which will take place in several stages will be organized.

On the one side, the main mechanics of a game is quite simple that it allows to write really minimum working strategy in a couple of hours. On another side — in game turned out a lot of nuances. To think over to sharpen strategy, rising up standings, it is possible indefinitely. In 2016 the contest is focused on the MOBA game CodeWizards.

2015 contest "CodeRacing" 
In the 2015 contest, contestants must make an artificial intelligence to control a car on the squared-tile tracks. The rules are similar to the Rock n' Roll Racing game.

2016 contest "CodeWizards" 

In the 2016 contest, contestants must make an artificial intelligence (strategy) to control a wizard in a special game world. The contest rules are based on a popular computer game genre MOBA. In each game players will confront 5 strategies of other players. At the same time, they will have 4 allies. Each five strategies make a faction: Academy or Renegades. The main goal of the faction is to destroy an opposing faction's base. The main personal goal of each wizard is to gain maximal possible number of points. The winner of the game, as well as other places, is determined by the gained score. A player is given points when his wizard deals damage, destroys or is just hanging nearby during death of opposite faction's unit, as well as for some other actions. Each player of a faction is given a significant number of points in case of reaching the main faction goal.

The championship runs from 26 November until 18 December. Winning participants will receive prizes. There is the "Sandbox", which is working between rounds. In the "Sandbox" participants can improve their strategies.

Asian Super Grid. The Asian Super Grid is a project to establish an electrical power transmission network, or super grid, connecting China, South Korea, Taiwan, Mongolia, Russia, Japan and India.

It will transmit electrical power from renewable sources from areas of the world that are best able to produce it to consumers in other parts of the world. The idea is dependent on development of an ultra-high voltage grid operating at more than 1,000 kilovolts AC and 800 kilovolts DC over thousands of kilometers. It envisions interconnecting grids across regions, nations, and even continents with a capacity of over 10 gigawatts.

The concept is the result of an idea by Masayoshi Son, founder and head of the telecom and Internet giant SoftBank Group. After the devastation of the Fukushima nuclear accident in the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, Son was so shocked by events that he established the Renewable Energy Institute soon afterwards to help develop and promote renewable energy.

A diverse and widely sourced mix of both renewable and non-renewable energy sources connected by super grid could reduce the region’s risk of power outages; as experienced after the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster, and 2011 South Korea blackouts.

James William Hunter. James William Hunter of Thurston Manor FRSE (May 1783 – 3 December 1844) was a Scottish landowner, inventor and agricultural improver. His main claim to fame is the improvement to the mechanical odometer in 1827, creating a single-handed and single-wheeled device, setting a series of three 100-tooth cogs against 101-tooth cogs, attached to a wheel of circumference either 6 or 10 feet. This created a very convenient apparatus for land measurement, and is still the basis for modern day mechanical surveying odometers. The larger version was attached to the rear of a carriage and was the first known instrument calculating total vehicle distance travelled in a precise and visually clear way.

Life

He was born at Thurston Manor near Innerwick in East Lothian in 1783, the son of Robert Hunter of Thurston Manor (d.1810) and his wife Isabella Ord. The family was related to the Hunters of Hunterston.

From around 1798 he served in India then returned to Scotland to run the family estates following the death of his father.

In 1820 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His proposers were Thomas Charles Hope, Sir David Brewster and Basil Hall.

In 1839 he appeared in the trial of Alexander Humphreys in his false claim to be Earl of Stirling. At this time he is listed under the address of his Edinburgh townhouse: 10 Moray Place.

He died in Leamington (where the family held a second estate) on 3 December 1844. He is buried in Innerwick in East Lothian with his family. His will is held in the National Archive at Kew.

Family 
He was married to Elizabeth Jennings. They had seven children: four boys and three girls.

Trifluoronitrosomethane. Trifluoronitrosomethane (commonly abbreviated TFNM) is a toxic organic compound consisting of a trifluoromethyl group covalently bound to a nitroso group. Its distinctive deep blue color is unusual for a gas.

History 
Trifluoronitrosomethane was synthesized for the first time in 1936 by Otto Ruff and Manfred Giese at the  Schlesische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Breslau. It was created through the fluorination of silver cyanide in the presence of silver nitrate and silver oxide.

Production 
Trifluoronitrosomethane can be produced from the reaction of trifluoroiodomethane and nitric oxide under a UV light with a yield of up to 90% in normal pressure. A small amount of mercury is needed as catalyst. The reaction results in the creation of iodine as a by-product.

Properties
Although it is somewhat more kinetically stable due to its fluorine substituents, trifluoronitrosomethane, like other nitroso compounds, has a weak C–N bond of only 39.9 kcal/mol.

Related
Trifluoronitrosoethylene is also a similar deep blue gas.

B Boats B-32. The B-32 is an American racing sailboat, that was designed by Leif Beiley and first built in 1995.

Production
The boat was built by B Boats in the United States, who constructed just 14 examples, starting in 1995, before production ceased. The B-32 was recognized as the Best PHRF/Sportboat of the year for 1996 by Sailing World.

Design

Designer Leif Beiley described the boat's design goals, "I designed the B32 back in 1995 as a development of the B25, which we had a lot of success with. It was designed to excel in the conditions we usually have in southern California: 8-15 knot winds and ocean waves. We wanted a boat that wasn't extreme in any direction, just a good all-around performer that was affordable for people moving up from the smaller sportboats like the B25, Express 27, Moore 24, etc. Therefore we didn't use exotic materials in the structure or in the rig. The B32 won Sailing World's 1996 SportBoat Of The Year award and went on to have an illustrious record of wins in many major regattas. Twenty-five years on, B32's are still highly sought after and continue to win races."

The B-32 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel with a weight bulb. It displaces  and carries  of lead ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard bulb fin keel and  with the optional shoal draft keel.

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 72 with a high of 84 and low of 66. It has a hull speed of .

Punjab Northern State Railway. The Punjab Northern State Railway , opened in 1876, was a railway line between Lahore and Peshawar.

History

The route of what became the Punjab Northern State Railway, was first surveyed in 1857. Years of political and military debate followed as described under the "Lahore & Peshawar Railway". The Punjab Northern State Railway was created in 1870-71 to construct and operate the railway between Lahore and Peshawar. The first section of the line was opened in 1876 from Lahore to Peshawar and in 1883  the Attock Bridge over the Indus River was completed. Francis Joseph Edward Spring was deployed from the Imperial Civil Service's engineering section in 1873 as consulting engineer for the survey of the PNSR and the construction of various parts of that railway and bridges. He remained attached to the PNSR until 1878. Several major bridges required construction to complete the PNSR line between from Lahore and Peshawar:

 Jhelum Bridge, over the Jhelum River at Jhelum. Construction began in 1871 by William St. John Galwey and opened in 1873.  
 Alexandra Bridge, over the Chenab River between Wazirabad and Gujrat. Construction began in 1871 by Francis Joseph Edward Spring and opened in 1876 by King Edward VII.
 Ravi Bridge, over the Ravi River situated between Sadiqpura, Lahore and Shahdara Bagh. Construction began in 1871 by rancis Joseph Edward Spring and completed in 1876.
 Attock Bridge, over in Indus River. Construction began in 1880 by Francis Langford O'Callaghan and completed 1883.

Along with several other railways, the Punjab Northern State Railway was merged with the Scinde, Punjab & Delhi Railway in 1886 to form the North Western State Railway.

Personnel
The following from the railway branch of the public works department were deployed to the PNSR:
 Henry Francis Storey: (1868–78), employed on the construction of the Alexandra bridge over the Chenab river
Henry Thomas Geoghegan: (1868), executive engineer
Robert Trefusis Mallet: (1868), executive engineer
Hugh Lewin Monk: (1870–73), assistant engineer
Horace Bell: (1874), executive engineer during construction
Joseph Bonus: (1877–81), superintending engineer and engineer-in-chief for the construction from Rawalpindi-Peshawar section
James Condor: (1875), executive engineer 
Thomas Gracey Col. R.E.: (1879), engineer-in-chief of the Rawalpindi-Kohat section
Frederick Lewis Dibblee: (1879–80), PNSR engineer-in-chief (Jhelum division) and later superintending engineer of Rawalpindi section
Ernest Lindsay Marryat: (1880–86), PNSR manager.
Richard Arthur Sargeaunt: (1884–87), PNSR office manager.

Multi-Evaporator System. A multi-evaporator system is a vapor-compression refrigeration system generally consisting of four major components:
Evaporator
Compressor
Condenser
Thermal expansion valve

Sometimes in a refrigerator several loads are varied. Refrigerators used to function at different loads operated under different condition of temperatures and pressures. There may be arrangements possible for multi evaporators on the basis of single or multi compressors. If refrigerant from each evaporator compressed in the same single compressor then it is called as Multi-evaporator single-compressor system.

Single compressor-individual expansion valve
A two evaporator single compressor with individual expansion valves for each evaporator after passing through the back pressure valve enters into the compressors and hence there is a significant rise in temperature is observed. 
This system helps in dropping the pressure from high pressure evaporators with the help of back pressure valves. The high pressure ratio is obtained which necessarily compresses the vapor to high extent from the higher temperature evaporators to condenser temperature. This kind of refrigerator has greater application in load varying purpose. Moreover, high value of COP and better operating economy is observed.

Mass flow rate through evaporators :-

m1=Heat through evaporator 1(Q1)÷(specific enthalpy difference in evaporator 1)

m2=Heat through evaporator 1(Q2)÷(specific enthalpy difference in evaporator 2))

The net work done is :-
 W = (Sum of masses through evaporator 1 and evaporator 2)*(specific enthalpy difference in compressor)
 W = (m1+m2)*(h2-h1)

Grounding transformer. A grounding transformer or earthing transformer is a type of auxiliary transformer used in three-phase electric power systems to provide a ground path to either an ungrounded wye or a delta-connected system. Grounding transformers are part of an earthing system of the network. They let three-phase (delta connected) systems accommodate phase-to-neutral loads by providing a return path for current to a neutral.

Grounding transformers are typically used to:
 Provide a relatively low-impedance path to ground, thereby maintaining the system neutral at or near ground potential.
 Limit the magnitude of transient over voltages when restriking ground faults occur.
 Provide a source of ground fault current during line-to-ground faults.
 Permit the connection of phase-to-neutral loads when desired.

Grounding transformers most commonly incorporate a single winding transformer with a zigzag winding configuration, but may also be created with a (rare case) delta-wye transformer. Neutral grounding transformers are very common on generators in power plants and wind farms. Neutral grounding transformers are sometimes applied on high-voltage (sub-transmission) systems, such as at 33 kV, where the circuit would otherwise not have a ground; for example, if a system is fed by a delta-connected transformer. The grounding point of the transformer may be connected through a resistor or arc suppression coil to limit the fault current on the system in the event of a line-to-ground fault.
