Patrouilleurs Hauturiers. Patrouilleurs Hauturiers (English: Offshore Patrol Vessel), often shortened to PH, is a program to design and build 10 long-range patrol boats for the French Navy. Formerly known as the Patrouilleurs Océanique (PO) program, the ships will replace various aging patrol vessels in a wide variety of tasks off France. Development began in 2020 and construction will occur in two batches, with all ships expected to be in service by 2035.

Development 
Initially known as the Patrouilleurs Océanique (English: Ocean Patrol) program, commonly shortened to PO, the program was unveiled in 2020 with the goal to design and develop a 10-ship series of patrol vessels to replace the aging Flamant, D'Estienne d'Orves, and P400-class patrol vessels. The ships' roles would include maritime patrol, protecting national waters, submarine escort, evacuation, surveillance, interception, protection of French interests, and other miscellaneous duties. The program was announced during a major overhaul of the French Navy, which occurs every 30–40 years.

Designed by Naval Group, the first 7 ships were ordered in 2023 from Piriou Shipyard, Constructions Mécaniques de Normandie, and Socarenam. Construction of this batch began in 2024 and all 7 are estimated to be in delivered by 2030. The remaining 3 ships are planned to be ordered as part of a later budget and are planned to enter service by 2035.

Design 
The new patrol ships will be significantly larger than their predecessors, allowing for an improved range of 6,000 nautical miles at 21 knots, or, 30 days at sea through the diesel-electric drive. The ships would displace 2,400 tons, be  long, have a beam of , and a draft of . Fitted on the bow is a 40CT, a  multi-role autocannon that will serve as the main weapon. Immediately behind the gun is a panoramic bridge fitted with two  machine guns. On top of the superstructure is space for future instillation of a Mistral anti-air missile, located near the life rafts, and the ship's mast. The rest of the superstructure will include a  long RHIB on the deck and one  long RHIB per side incorporated into the superstructure. Towards the aft is a hanger and helipad that can fit an Airbus H160M helicopter and a VSR700 UAS, with a  machine gun on top of the hanger.

The French Navy states that there would be room for a total of 84 people on board, not specifying how many of those are crew members. One of the most unique elements of the design is the incorporation of a sonar, allowing the ships to track underwater targets in their mission to monitor and intercept submarines despite such tasks historically not being done by patrol ships.

Ships 
Every ship in the class is named for people who fought for Free France during the Second World War, in recognition of the war's 80th anniversary. In addition, the names would be the first time that a modern French ship would be named for women, aside from Joan of Arc.

Project EMITEL. The Project EMITEL was a pilot project of the EC Programme Leonardo da Vinci, which developed the first e-Encyclopaedia with Multilingual Scientific Dictionary of medical physics (2005–2009), aimed to support the education in the profession. The project continues activities of previous projects (as EMERALD, EMERALD2 and EMIT) to develop materials and e-books for medical physics education.

The project included as partners Universities and Hospitals from the UK, Sweden, Italy, Bulgaria and the International Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP) and was headed by specialists from King's College London. In the post-project time the Encyclopaedia with Dictionary were updated by hundreds of specialists from over 50 countries, overseen by an editorial board. The materials are available for free use through their original website emitel2.eu with thousands of users worldwide.

By 2023 the Encyclopaedia includes over 3300 encyclopaedic articles, supported by over 1300 figures and diagrams. It also includes over 600 synonyms, abbreviations and linked entries. The Scientific Dictionary of Medical Physics Terms cross-translates terms in 32 languages (11 alphabets).

The Encyclopaedia has been printed on paper by CRC Press/Routledge (Taylor and Francis Group).

Light train. A light train is a type of multiple unit passenger train that is developed for mainline rail roads. These type of trains are built using lightweighting techniques, with the purpose of reducing operating costs. Light trains that appeared in the 1930s were called lightweight cars.

Most light trains in use in the 21st century were developed for mainline rail roads in Europe, however they do not meet the crash-safety guidelines from the U.S. Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Light trains in the U.S. can therefore only be used on isolated lines, where they are referred to as diesel light rail tranist (abbreviated  DLRT) or termed hybrid rail by the FRA.

History 
Early examples where the 1931 U.S. Bullet and the 1932 German prototype Flying Hamburger, following a production series later named VT 04. In the U.S. technology advanced with the introduction of the 1934 M-10000 prototype and soon followed by the  Pioneer Zephyr and the 1935 [[Hiawatha (Milwaukee Road trains)|Hiawatha"]].
Another notable example was the Talgo I prototype that was tested in Spain between 1942 and 1944. The GM Aerotrain was partially based on the Talgo II and used in passenger service between 1956 and 1966.

In France, the TELLi'' project aims to introduce light trains starting in 2029.

Alcor (rocket engine). Alcor (also known as Zebra or 30-KS-8000) was a solid rocket engine, originally developed by Aerojet for the US Air Force as the third stage of the Athena test vehicle. Its main appeal was a high mass fraction due to the Aerowrap chamber fabrication process. However, production issues with joint sections limited its use. Alcor engines were used from 1960 to 1977.

The original version was used on a series of rockets: Blue Scout Jr, Blue Scout Junior, Astrobee 200, Blue Scout Jr SLV-1C, RAM B, Blue Scout Jr SLV-1B(m), Athena RTV, Strypi VI and Strypi VIIAR.

Initially produced with polyurethane propellant, it transitioned to polybutadiene, leading to the Alcor 1A (23KS-11000) variant. This variant featured improved nozzle, chamber insulation, and expansion ratio, increasing the mass fraction from 0.886 to 0.906. Both Alcor 1 and 1A were used in Astrobee 500 and 1500 vehicles.  Alcor 1A was used on the Athena H.

Another improvement occurred late in 1965, with the introduction of an all welded titanium chamber, resulting in the Alcor 1B variant. Alcor 1B was used on the Strypi VIIR.

V-EMF therapy. V-EMF therapy is a therapy that is based on the synergy between electromagnetic fields, vacuum and low-intensity electrostimulation. It is also known as Biodermogenesi. The electromagnetic field is generated with a variable frequency between 0.5 and 2 MHz.

Electromagnetic fields are able to promote the repair processes of skin lesions with a reduction in healing time and scar size and with an increase in the re-epithelialization process. They also promote the migration and subsequent stabilization of different cell types involved in the processes of regeneration, tissue engineering and wound care.

The data in the literature show that the therapeutic application of electromagnetic fields allows to obtain satisfactory results in the regeneration of degenerated or traumatized or injured tissue reaching the healing and regeneration of permanent lesions. In addition, they have been shown to be useful in reducing fibrosis both in the treatment of cellulite and in the treatment of fibrotic, hypertrophic and keloid scars.

Similarly to electromagnetic fields, the application of vacuum, in this therapy adopted with negative pressure between 8 and 16 hundredths of Bar, has shown considerable effectiveness in reducing skin fibrosis due to cellulite and scarring.

As for low-intensity electrostimulation, or electroporation, delivered at 5 VDC, it is able to increase skin nourishment. The three forms of energy used simultaneously are the basis of V-EMF therapy, which has shown significant results in various fields of application. The therapeutic protocol has proven effective in the treatment of burn scars post-surgical trauma and chemical burn, 20 in the treatment of stretch marks and in anti-aging therapy.

Biodermogenesi. Biodermogenesi is a procedure adopted in dermatology to promote skin regeneration. The system makes it possible to reorganize the skin layers and stimulate the regeneration of collagen, elastic fibers and basal cells through the reactivation of intra- and extracellular exchange. The therapy is based on the combined delivery of electromagnetic fields, vacuum and electrostimulation (V-EMF therapy). The literature shows that it is generally pleasant and relaxing for patients and has been found to be effective in the anti-aging therapy, of stretch marks and scars, always in the absence of side effects.

Jan Wils Bridge. The Jan Wils Bridge is a permanent bridge for pedestrians and cyclists in Amsterdam-Zuid.

The bridge spans the  which forms the connection between the Noorder and Zuider Amstelkanaal. It is an extension of the Laan der Hesperides and leads to the Piet Kranenburgpad, along which the Electrische Museumtramlijn Amsterdam also runs. To the west of the bridge are a number of islands, which form the Park Schinkel Islands.

The design was designed by architect Rob Lubrecht in 2003. The bridge was built in Vlissingen in 2007/2008 and transported by Wagenborg Nedlift to its place by ship/pontoons. Heavy Demag mobile cranes had to be used to get the bridge on moving structures and then hoist them on the pontoons behind/for a tugboat. The pontoons were equipped with rotary castles to maneuver better through the Amsterdam canals. The bridge was sailed in length through the Olympia Canal (Channel between the Schinkel and the Stadiongracht). To make that possible, bridge 1634 had to be removed from its place. Once in the Stadiongracht, the bridge was transported in its length to the headlands and then turned 90 degrees. When the bridge was between the heads of the land the pontoons were dropped and thus the bridge also abducted until it lay on the heads of the country and a central pillar.

The span is carried by a steel tube on which the bike path is located. The footpath hangs there on the side, as it were. Striking about the burg is that it is for the eastern part and has an arch construction near the western part. The bridge is named after architect Jan Wils who provided the design of the nearby Olympic Stadium and the two buildings in Amsterdam famous for Citroën on Stadionplein.

Tram station  

The Jan Wils Bridge is home to an Electrische Museumtramlijn Amsterdam station. However, it is temporarily out of use, as is the rest of the line north of Jollenpad.

Polecat Creek (Arkansas River tributary). Polecat Creek is a -long stream in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It is a tributary of the Arkansas River.

Flood control
Since the twentieth century, flood control within the Polecat Creek watershed has been a concern for local residents. In 1950, the United States Army Corps of Engineers built Heyburn Lake as a flood control reservoir at a cost of $2.5 million. The reservoir also supplies water to the region and is used for recreation. In recent decades, flood events have led to greater concerns. A flood in 2000 damaged around 300 structures in the city of Sapulpa, with an estimated $12 million in damage. The Army Corps proposed a study of the watershed in 2012, but it failed to receive government funding.

Watershed
The creek drains a  watershed across three counties in Oklahoma: Creek, Okmulgee, and Tulsa. The entirety of the city of Sapulpa, along with almost all of Jenks and Glenpool, are included in the watershed. Part of the city of Tulsa is also included.
