James Hyde (artist). James Hyde (born 1958 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American painter, sculptor and photographer who has worked in New York City since the early 1980s. He has works in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art  and the Guggenheim Museum and has exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.

Overview
Hyde often employs unconventional materials when painting that range from plaster, nylon, chrome, steel to styrofoam and glass. His practice has been described as an "exploration of physicality" in his experimentations with different textures and planes that often re-evaluate and expand the limits and boundaries of painting.

Hyde describes his work in saying:

In 2003 he started to incorporate photography into his work while maintaining his use of alternative materials acquired from his work as a general contractor in the late 1970s.

Technique

When asked about his technique as an artist, Hyde says:

Hyde's work often involves a number of alternative materials that he has incorporated into his minimalist paintings, sometimes creating three-dimensional pieces that explore new planes and arrangements.

Early career
Hyde arrived as a teenager in New York City in 1977. Although he had already begun his artistic practice he had, for a time early in his career, rejected showing his work within the art world out of a "frustration of what was being shown", instead devoting much of his time to his work as a general contractor. Hyde began to integrate himself more within the art world in the early 1980s.

Awards
Hyde is a recipient of the Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in 2008, the Pollock-Krasner Grant in 2011, the Joan-Mitchell Foundation Fellowship in 2000 and the New York State CAPS Grant in 1982

Long Low-Wing Longster. The Long Low-Wing Longster is an American aircraft that was designed by Leslie Long, for homebuilt construction.

Design and development
The Low-Wing Longster is a single place, wire braced, low wing, open cockpit aircraft with conventional landing gear. The lower wing wire bracing is connected to the landing gear. The root wing ribs are oversized to create a smooth wing to fuselage fillet.

The aircraft was the last in a series of homebuilt aircraft designs from Les Long. In 1935, the American Bureau of Aviation restricted homebuilt construction of aircraft. A small group of Oregon-based homebuilders were the last hold-outs. The Private Flying Association was developed to promote experimental aircraft and they made the Longster the official aircraft design.

Operational history
In 1947, a  variant called the "Little Gee Bee" was built and flown by George Brogardus from Oregon to Washington D.C. to demonstrate to the C.A.A. that homebuilt aircraft were safe and restrictions should be lifted on building them.

Mining machinery engineering. Mining Machinery Engineering is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering that applies the principles of mechanical engineering and electrical engineering for analysis, design, manufacturing and maintenance of mining equipment. It includes study of various aspects of equipment used in earthworks, mineral processing, bulk material handling, drilling  and construction.

History

Surface mining equipment evolved at a high pace in the 20th century as the scale of mining grew. In the first twenty years of the 1900s, steam power was largely replaced by internal combustion engines and electric motors. Till the 1970s such equipment mainly used mechanical systems and cables for power transmission after which they started to be replaced by hydraulic drive system for small machines. However, mechanical and cable drives are still dominant in large machines.
A similar development took place in the development of underground machinery. Drilling and blasting replaced manual cutting of ores. Lately, the use of continuous mining machines has become the order of the day to comply with environmental regulations, protect surface features, and also achieve an increased production rate.
As the concern for safety in mines increased and highly stringent regulations were put in place, it required mining machinery engineers to be highly conversant with such regulations.

Employment

Since Mining Machinery Engineering is a wholesome branch, the course of which covers disciplines like Mechanical Engineering, Mining Engineering, Mineral Engineering, Electrical Engineering, the employment opportunities are tremendous. Mining Machinery Engineering provides excellent career opportunities in various industries such as mining, heavy earth moving equipment, construction industry, mineral processing, and other related industries.

William D. Lewis. William David Lewis (1792-1881) was a 19th-century banker, merchant, and railroad executive based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In 1832, Lewis hired future locomotive titan Matthias Baldwin to assemble a locomotive kit for the New Castle and Frenchtown Railroad; Baldwin completed the engine, named Delaware, later in the year. This experience allows Baldwin to build Old Ironsides, his first locomotive from scratch, later in the year.

Later in the 1830s, Lewis was a director of the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad, which forged the first rail link between the cities. His service is noted on the 1839 Newkirk Viaduct Monument.

In 1839, Lewis was a director of the Philadelphia Museum Company. Founded by famed painter Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827), it was one of America's first museums. It went out of business in the 1850s, and the collection was sold for roughly $6,000 to P.T. Barnum and Moses Kimball.

In the 1840s, Lewis became president of the Catawissa Railroad.

Chromium(III) iodide. Chromium(III) iodide, also known as chromium triiodide, is an inorganic compound with the formula . It is a black solid that is used to prepare other chromium iodides.

Like the isomorphous chromium(III) chloride (), chromium(III) iodide exhibits a cubic-closest packing arrangement in a double-layer crystal lattice. In this structure, chromium exhibits octahedral coordination geometry.

Preparation and properties
Chromium triiodide is prepared by the direct reaction of chromium metal with an excess of iodine. The reaction is conducted at 500 °C:

To obtain high purity samples, the product is thermally decomposed at 700 °C to sublime out chromium(II) iodide. The diiodide is then reiodinated.

Chromium triiodide is stable in contact with oxygen and moisture, but at temperatures approaching 200 °C it reacts with oxygen and releases iodine. Like , the triiodide exhibits slow solubility in water owing to the kinetic inertness of Cr(III). Addition of small amounts of chromous iodide accelerates the dissolving process.

Chromium triiodide can also be prepared as nanoplatelets from the alkoxide .

Chromium triiodide was one of the first materials which was discovered to be a magnetic two-dimensional material that has great potentials for spintronics devices.

Laser sintering of gold. Laser sintering of gold is a jewellery manufacturing technique first developed by Towe Norlén and Lena Thorsson.

Laser sintering of gold starts with gold powder, fine as flour. A laser beam sinters (melts) the gold flour locally in an extremely small point, and any shape may be ‘drawn’ precisely with the laser beam, in three dimensions. When the gold object is finished, it is gently brushed from the leftover gold flour, in much the same way as in an archaeological dig.

The result is a gold object of virtually any shape, and with higher quality (greater surface density) gold, than that possible to achieve with casting. Moreover, laser sintering circumvents the weakening and surface-deforming mounting process, because the item of jewellery is manufactured in a single piece. Also, jewellery design may be expanded and individualised, as in principle any shape is possible, which facilitates uniqueness and personalized design.
