Archambault A35. The Archambault A35 is a French  sailboat that was designed by Joubert Nivelt Design as a racer-cruiser and first built in 2006.

The Archambault A35 is often confused with the 2006 Archambault A35R, which succeeded it in production.

Production
The design was built by Archambault Boats in Dangé-Saint-Romain, France between 2006 and 2013, but it is now out of production.

Design
The A35 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly with polyester fibreglass sandwich construction, with wooden trim. It has a 9/10 fractional sloop rig, with a masthead spinnaker. It has aluminum spars, with carbon fibre spars optional, a keel-stepped mast, wire standing rigging and two sets of swept spreaders. The hull has a plumb stem, an open reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller, or optionally dual wheels and a fixed fin keel. It displaces  and carries  of lead ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard fin keel.

The boat is fitted with a Nanni 3.21 SD10 diesel engine of  for docking and manoeuvring. An  engine was optional. The fuel tank holds  and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settees in the main cabin, around a drop leaf table and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the navigation station on the starboard side. The main cabin has  of headroom. The bow cabin has a single, circular forward hatch for ventilation.

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of  or an asymmetrical spinnaker of . All lines are led to the cockpit and the mainsheet traveller is located on the deck, just aft of the rudder post.

The boat has a hull speed of .

Operational history
Sailing World named the A35 as the "best crossover boat of 2009", a term referring to a "racer-cruiser", as part of its Boat of the Year award winners.

In a 2008 Sailing World review for Boat of the Year, Tony Bessinger, wrote, "one of the slickest, best-performing boats we've ever sailed in our years with Boat of the Year is the Archambault A35, and the judges collectively described it as one of the best-built, best laid-out boats they've sailed. The design firm, Joubert/Nivelt, certainly knows its stuff, as does this boat's French builder, which recently celebrated 50 years in business."

In a 2018, after a sail in high winds, reviewer Lars Reisberg concluded, "I was amazed by the power and performance, the light effortless steering and the seakind motion of the Archambault A35. The speed was tremendous and I think the boat still has lots of potential to be driven fast in races and to seriously contend with newer yachts for sure."

Constantin Hârjeu. Constantin Hârjeu (December 10, 1856May 24, 1928) was a Romanian general and engineer.

Born into a poor family in Bucharest, he attended the officers’ school there from 1874 to 1876. Hârjeu then went to the École Polytechnique in Paris and to the School of Applied Artillery at Fontainebleau, becoming among the first Romanian military engineers educated abroad. Returning home, he steadily advanced through the ranks of the Romanian Land Forces, becoming a brigadier general in 1904.

Meanwhile, Hârjeu taught at the Higher War School and at the artillery and military engineering school. His textbooks on topography (1886) and military telegraphy (1890) were widely used. He contributed to military magazines, and in 1900 wrote a French-language study of the Romanian Army. His interest in fortifications led him to author a book on the history of military engineering, awarded a prize by the Romanian Academy in 1902.

Hârjeu was himself elected a corresponding member of the Academy in 1909. He served twice as War Minister: October 1912–January 1914, and March–October 1918. He was also interim Public Works Minister in 1918. He died in Bucharest in 1928.

Sandra Troian. Sandra Marina Troian (born 1957) is an American applied physicist known for her research on fluid dynamics, quasicrystals, surface science, thin films, microfluidics, and spacecraft micropropulsion. She is a professor of Applied Physics, Aeronautics, and Mechanical Engineering in the Division of Engineering and Applied Science of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and head of the Laboratory of Interfacial and Small Scale Transport in the Department of Applied Physics and Materials Science at Caltech.

Research
The Thompson and Troian slip condition, a model for nonlinear flow of liquids at liquid-solid interfaces, is named for Troian's discovery of this model with physicist Peter Thompson, which they published in Nature in 1997. Her research has also included methods for controlling microscopic fluid droplets using a combination of chemical patterns and temperature variations on surfaces, rather than by using microfluidic pumps, published in Nature in 2000. In 2009, she found a model to explain the spontaneous growth of arrays of nanoscale pillars in polymer films placed between the surfaces of silicon wafers, allowing this phenomenon to be controlled and used for nanoscale construction.

Education and career
Troian graduated from Harvard University in 1980. She completed her Ph.D. at Cornell University in 1987. Her dissertation, Mean Field Theories of Icosahedral Quasicrytals, was supervised by N. David Mermin.

After postdoctoral work at Exxon Research, and at the Collège de France working with Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, she returned to Exxon as a staff scientist. She joined the faculty at Princeton University as an assistant professor of chemical engineering in 1993, visited Caltech as a Moore Distinguished Scholar in 2004, and moved to Caltech in 2006.

Whistleblower suit
In 2014, Troian filed a whistleblower lawsuit against the Caltech administration, claiming that they retaliated against her for reporting to the federal authorities a case of suspected espionage by an Israeli postdoctoral researcher in her laboratory. The alleged retaliation included an investigation against her for academic misconduct over an incident in which she listed her pet cat Pucci as a coauthor on a paper, following a tradition of similar pet coauthorships by other well-known physicists.

Recognition
Troian and her coauthor Anne Dussaud were the 1999 winners of the François Frenkiel Award for Fluid Mechanics of the American Physical Society (APS) Division of Fluid Dynamics.

Troian was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2005, after a nomination by the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics, "for pioneering theoretical, experimental and molecular simulation studies of micro-hydrodynamic flows".

Bathing Water Regulations 2013. In England the Bathing Water Regulations 2013 is a statutory instrument defining water suitable for bathing (in the sense of recreational swimming and paddling), other than swimming pools and similar places. An annual list of bathing places is produced. The water must pass water quality standards set by the Environment Agency.

In December 2020 it was announced that a stretch of the River Wharfe at Ilkley in West Yorkshire would become the first river bathing place to be added to the list, which hitherto included coastal sites and lakes.

Heat pen. A heat pen (also known as a thermal stick) is a device used to mitigate the effects of an insect sting (e. g. wasp sting) or insect bite (e. g. mosquito bite) by briefly heating the skin.

Shape

The heat pen is available either as a pen-like device or as a USB-attachment for the smartphone.

Effect

A heat pen has a ceramic or metal plate at the tip, which heats to 50 to 60 °C. The heated plate is brought into contact with the area of skin affected by the insect bite for 3 to 10 seconds, causing the skin to briefly heat up to 53 °C (local hyperthermia). The heat activates various physiological processes. For example, it is assumed that the insect proteins are destroyed (denatured) and the body's histamine release is reduced. This results in symptom relief, for example itching is avoided. Due to the short application time, the skin is not damaged. The positive effect of the heat stick could be confirmed by a study, however employees of the manufacturer are the lead authors and may be biased.

The exact effect is not known; various mechanisms are discussed.

The same mode of action is also used to treat cold sores.
