China-Myanmar Economic Corridor. China-Myanmar Economic Corridor (CMEC) is a number of infrastructure projects supporting connectivity between Myanmar and China. It is an economic corridor of the Belt and Road Initiative.

Transportation
The infrastructure development plan calls for building road and rail transportation from Yunnan Province in China through Muse and Mandalay to the seaport city, Kyaukpyu in Rakhine State. The transportation route follows gas and oil pipelines built in 2013 and 2017. At the end of the route, a port and Special Economic Zone is planned at Khaukphyu. The largest construction project along the route is the  Muse-Mandalay Railway, a project estimated to cost US$9 billion. The newly built railway would connect to the Chinese railway network at Ruili, Yunnan province.

Core zones
An important part of the corridor will be three core zones at the border of both countries. The core zones will be commercial areas with duty-free concessions, hotels, manufacturing, and financial services. According to a policy plan in 2019 by the Myanmar Ministry of Commerce, the locations for the core zones would be Muse and Chinshwehaw in the northern part of Shan State and Kan Pite Tee in Kachin State.

British Rail Class 803. The British Rail Class 803 AT300 is a type of electric multiple unit built by Japanese rolling stock manufacturer Hitachi Rail for open-access operator Lumo. Based on the Hitachi A-train design, a total of five units, each comprising five cars, have been produced. The class is used to operate passenger services on the East Coast Main Line between  and .

Background
In 2015, following an announcement from the Office of Rail and Road that it would be allowing open-access operators to bid for additional rail paths on the East Coast Main Line, FirstGroup submitted a proposal to operate services between London and Edinburgh. Under its plan, First would seek to directly compete with existing road, rail and air services by offering all standard class seating with an average ticket price of approximately £25. The proposal for the new service was approved in May 2016.

In March 2019, First announced that it had signed an agreement with Hitachi to procure a total of five new five-car trains from its A-train product line for its new service. The units are financed by Beacon Rail with a ten-year maintenance contract. The first body shell arrived at Hitachi's Newton Aycliffe Manufacturing Facility in April 2020.

The first test runs on the national network were held on 26 May 2021, with the class entering public service on Lumo's launch day of 25 October 2021.

Design 
While sharing a bodyshell with the previous UK A-train variants, the Class 803 differs in that it has no diesel engines fitted. They are fitted with batteries to enable the train's on-board services to be maintained, in case the primary electrical supplies have failed. Other changes include seating being standard class only, and the lack of a galley area, although catering services are provided through the use of a trolley service. The units also feature air conditioning, power sockets and free Wi-Fi.

Accidents and incidents
On 17 April 2022, a Lumo-operated Class 803 passed through a set of points at Peterborough railway station at  where there was a speed restriction of . Some passengers were thrown from their seats and sustained minor injuries. The Rail Accident Investigation Branch opened an investigation into the incident.

Mary and Sophie Hutson. Twin sisters Mary Lockett Hutson Nelson (1884–1982) and Sophie Palmer Hutson Rollins (1884–1983) were the first women to complete the civil engineering program (in 1903) at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas (now Texas A&M University) in College Station, Texas. However, their official degrees were awarded posthumously because, before 1963, the school’s charter made no provision for female students.

Biographies
The twins began their studies in 1899, at the age of 15. At that time, the school's charter was for an all-male military school (as it would remain until 1963), but the sisters were allowed to attend because their father, Charles Woodward Hutson, was an English and history professor. In those years, daughters of faculty members were allowed to attend classes because there were no local schools for women. The sisters were called the "campus twins," and attended the same classes and took the same exams as the cadets. 

Their schoolmates in the Class of 1900 “as a sign of acceptance and respect“ gave the sisters cadet jackets which they proudly wore. Their mother altered the jackets to fit the girls, and she made matching skirts as well. After finishing the coursework for their four-year civil engineering program in 1903, the women received certificates of completion signed by faculty members, but could not receive actual diplomas.

Despite her lack of a college degree, Mary worked for A. M. Lockett Co., a New Orleans engineering firm  and designed water pumping facilities in New Orleans, Mississippi and Texas. She married a fellow engineer from New Orleans, Bernard Stanley Nelson, in the summer of 1913. Two years later, they moved into a house designed by Mary, which survived two hurricanes with minimal damage. They had five children. She died in 1982 at the age of 98. 

Sophie married fellow Aggie Henry Martin Rollins in 1905 had eight children.  She died in 1983 at 99.

The twins' degrees were awarded posthumously in 2002, ninety-nine years after they completed the program, at a campus event commemorating A&M's 125th year.

Western Power Station, Copenhagen. The Western Power Station (Danish: Vestre Elektricitets Værk) is a former power station located at the corner of Tietgensgade and Bernstorffsgade in central Copenhagen, Denmark. The building is from 1896–98 and was designed by city architect Ludvig Fenger in collaboration with project architect Ludvig Claussen. It has now been converted into a distant cooling facility by Hofor.

History

The first power station in Copenhagen was built by Københavns Belysningsvæsen in 1892 at Gothersgade. In 1896, it was decided to build a new power station at Tietgensgade (then Ny Vestergades Forlængelse). It was inaugurated on 7 September 1898. It was expanded several times over the next few years to be able to supply electricity for Copenhagen Tramways.

From 1908, it also served as a substation under the new Eastern Power Station on Øster Allé in Østerbro. The substation was expanded in 1912.

In 1921, the power plant was discontinued. The substation was again expanded in the period until 1036. The two existing 30/6 kV transformers were supplemented by a third transformer in 194 and a fourth transformer was added in 1957. Tietgensgade Substation was again adapted in 1961 and 1974.

I 1961 blev en ældre del af kedelanlægget, der før havde fungeret som reserve for varmeværkerne, demonteret. I 1974 blev omformeranlægget yderligere demonteret som led i ombygningen af værket. Værket skulle nu fungere som hovedtransformerstation til forsyning af 6 kV fordelingsnettet. Den ombyggede station blev kaldt Tietgensgade Transformerstation.

Architecture
The original power station from 1898 as well as all later extension have been constructed in red brick. Some existing roofs had to be raised to make space for technical installations in connection with the conversion 2011-14 conversion into a district cooling plant, creating a new superstructure in patterned brickwork.

Tietgensgade District Cooling Plant
The building was in 2011-14 converted into a combined district cooling plant and administration office by Gottlieb Paludan Architects. The plant has a capacity of 18 MW and supplies Copenhagen City Hall, the Danish National Archives and a number of major hotels and office buildings with environmentally friendly cooling, produced with the aid of sea water from the harbour. 

The administration office has 12 staff members and comprises meeting facilities, workshops, storage rooms, shower and changing rooms for 30 people together with a kitchen and lunch room.

Indentation size effect. The indentation size effect (ISE) is the observation that hardness tends to increase as the indent size decreases at small scales. When an indent (any small mark, but usually made with a special tool) is created during material testing, the hardness of the material is not constant. At the small scale, materials will actually be harder than at the macro-scale. For the conventional indentation size effect, the smaller the indentation, the larger the difference in hardness. The effect has been seen through nanoindentation and microindentation measurements at varying depths. Dislocations increase material hardness by increasing flow stress through dislocation blocking mechanisms.  Materials contain statistically stored dislocations (SSD) which are created by homogeneous strain and are dependent upon the material and processing conditions. Geometrically necessary dislocations (GND) on the other hand are formed, in addition to the dislocations statistically present, to maintain continuity within the material. 

These additional geometrically necessary dislocations (GND) further increase the flow stress in the material and therefore the measured hardness. Theory suggests that plastic flow is impacted by both strain and the size of the strain gradient experienced in the material. Smaller indents have higher strain gradients relative to the size of the plastic zone and therefore have a higher measured hardness in some materials.

For practical purposes this effect means that hardness in the low micro and nano regimes cannot be directly compared if measured using different loads. However, the benefit of this effect is that it can be used to measure the effects of strain gradients on plasticity. Several new plasticity models have been developed using data from indentation size effect studies, which can be applied to high strain gradient situations such as thin films.
