CESC Tunnel. The CESC Tunnel is situated under the Hooghly River in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. This is the first underwater tunnel in Asia, completed in 1931. It is used for electric power transmission from Kolkata to Howrah.

History 
This tunnel was not made by modern tunnel boring machine. It was made by simple tools like spade, shovel etc. Indian Punjabi labours were digging this tunnel and attached the cast iron rings with the tunnel wall.

Sir Harley Dalrymple-Hay was appointed head of design and construction for the project in 1928 by the Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation, it was the first underwater tunnel in Calcutta. He and the boiler specialist John Lochrance had designed Asia's first underwater tunnel in 1928.

The construction began in March 1930. At the beginning labours dig a well on the Hooghly River side of Indian Botanic Garden in Howrah. After one month, another similar well began digging on the opposite side of Hooghly River at Metiabruz in Kolkata. The wells digging process were taken to complete in first four months. Then the main  tunnel digging process was begun from Metiabruz side, under  from the river bottom.

The Asia's first underwater tunnel was finally completed in July 1931. The total construction of this tunnel took 17 months to complete. Two Indian labours and Normal Smith a British worker died during the construction.

Importance 
The CESC tunnel was specially studied by the engineers of Kolkata Metro, for the construction of East West Metro Tunnel. This tunnel is an important part of the electric supply system of the CESC Limited company.

Nervos Network. Nervos Network is a proof-of-work blockchain platform which consists of multiple blockchain layers that are designed for different functions. The native cryptocurrency of this layer is called CKB. Smart contracts and decentralized applications can be deployed on the Nervos blockchain. The Nervos Network was founded in 2018.

History

According to the organization's website, Nervos Network was founded in 2018 by Jan Xie, Terry Tai, Kevin Wang, Daniel Lv, and Cipher Wang.

Architecture
Nervos Network utilizes multiple blockchain layers to for different functions. The base layer prioritizes security and decentralization, and is optimized to verify transactions. It can settle transactions submitted from upper layers and resolves disputes. Layer 2 and above are designed for smart contract and decentralized applications.

NC MAX 
Layer 1 achieves cryptographic consensus through proof of work, using a modified version of Bitcoin's Nakamoto consensus algorithm: NC-MAX. This algorithm changes the original in three ways: a two-step transaction process (propose, commit) which aims to improve block propagation; dynamic adjustment to block interval based on network performance to keep orphan blocks low and improve transaction throughput; and accounting for all blocks (including orphans) during the difficulty adjustment calculation to resist "selfish mining attacks," whereby one group of miners can increase their own profits at the expense of other miners on the network. NC-MAX was presented at the Internet Society's Network and Distributed System Security (NDSS) Symposium in 2022. The consensus process uses a novel hash function called "Eaglesong."

Léon Guillet. Léon Alexandre Guillet (11 July 1873 – 9 May 1946) was a French metallurgist who studied the properties of metal alloys and developed martensitic and austenitic stainless steels. He served as a professor of metallurgy at the École Centrale Paris where he was a director from 1923 and played a key role in putting materials research on a scientific footing.

Guillet was born in Saint Nazaire (Loire Atlantique) and in 1894 he went to the school of art and manufacture where he met Henri Le Chatelier who guided him. His doctoral thesis was on aluminium alloys and the work was done at Dion-Bouton and at Le Chatelier's laboratory in the Ecole des Mines. He then became a consultant at Dion-Bouton and worked with several companies. In 1906 he went to teach metallurgy and became a full professor in 1908 and worked there until 1942 while also consulting in the industry. In 1923 he became director of the school of arts and manufacture where he brought major changes including a foundation in scientific theories in engineering. During World War I he was involved in the design and manufacture of artillery shells. During World War II, in 1939, he was again put in charge of naval artillery at the Ruelle Foundry in Angoulême as honorary artillery lieutenant-colonel. Guillet published his major metallurgical works including Traité de métallurgie génerale (1922), Les méthodes d'étude des alliages métalliques (1923), and Trempe, recuit, revenue (2 volumes, 1928–1931). He examined steels made with nickel, manganese, chromium, tungsten, as well as copper and aluminium alloys. He examined the heat treatment of alloys.

Guillet was elected to the Academy of Sciences in 1925, proposed by Le Chatelier. Guillet married Marie Béatrice Edwidge Soulier in 1898 and they had a daughter and a son, Léon Pierre Adolphe Guillet (1908–1991), who also became a metallurgist.
