Yves Bérubé. Yves Bérubé (March 28, 1940 – December 5, 1993) was a Quebec engineer, politician and multiple-time minister.

Biography
Bérubé was born in Montreal. His father was a journalist. He studied at the Collège de Saint-Laurent (the modern Cégep Saint-Laurent), then at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he graduated in 1966 with a doctorate in mining engineering. In 1963 (the same year he had obtained his bachelor's degree) he had married Francine Leroux in Montreal.

His career started at the Iron Ore Company of Canada. After obtaining his doctorate, he became assistant, then associate professor at Laval University. During this period, he also taught in France and regularly acted as consultant for several companies and the federal government.

In 1976, he defeated Marc-Yvan Côté and was elected in Matane for the Parti Québécois. He became Minister of Lands and Forests () as well as Minister of Natural Resources (), then Minister of Energy and Resources  () when these two ministries were combined in 1979 (it would become the modern Ministry of Natural Resources and Wildlife).

He was easily re-elected in the 1981 election. In the new government, he was Minister for Administration (; later Minister for Administrative Reform) and President of the Treasury Board. In the March 1984 cabinet shuffle, he was made Minister of Education, a post he left in December upon the creation of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology (resulting from a merger of the existing Ministry of Science and Technology and part of the Ministry of Education).

As Minister of Energy and Resources, he defended the interest of the Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie region, eventually getting embroiled in a dispute with federal minister Pierre De Bané over the funding for the establishment of a paper mill in Matane. As Minister of Natural Resources, he presided over the creation of a state corporation for research, prospection and promotion of asbestos, and as President of the Treasury Board, he was instrumental in salary reductions that affection the Quebec public service in the early 80s.

On October 16, 1985, shortly after the resignation of René Lévesque as Prime Minister, Bérubé and two other ministers, Yves Duhaime (Finances) and Clément Richard (Cultural Affairs), resigned together. In the ensuing shuffle, four unelected ministers were named, the largest number since 1936 and the first time since 1970.

Following his resignation, he worked at SNC-Lavalin, becoming executive vice-president in 1991. The following year, he became president of the Société d'habitation et de développement de Montréal before dying the next year, on December 5, from a brain tumor. He is buried in Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery. He had two daughters at the time of his death.

Thomas Page (engineer). Thomas Page (26 October 1803 – 8 January 1877) was an English architect and civil engineer who was responsible for the design and construction of many bridges, including Westminster Bridge and the first Chelsea Bridge (both crossing the River Thames)

Early life
Page was born in London on 26 October 1803.  The education he received whilst growing up in Romaldkirk by the River Tees) was designed to prepare him for life as a sailor. However, the engineer Thomas Tredgold suggested that Page become a civil engineer, advice that Page followed.

Career
Page worked in Leeds and then moved to the London office of Edward Blore before working on the Thames Tunnel from 1835, initially as an assistant to Marc Isambard Brunel before becoming acting engineer in 1836 upon the retirement of Richard Beamish.  His design for the Thames Embankment from Westminster to Blackfriars was recommended by the Commissioners for Metropolis Improvements in 1842, and he became consulting engineer for the Office of Woods and Forests, including responsibility for the Thames Embankment Office. In this role, his approval was required for any railway works affecting Crown land, and he would sometimes suggest changes (as happened at the Old Deer Park, Richmond, and at Windsor Home Park).  The Thames Embankment project failed to progress after disagreements between the Crown Estate and the City of London corporation about riparian rights.

In 1845, Page drew plans for a new railway terminus to be built in the Thames between Hungerford Bridge and Waterloo Bridge; it was never built. Other proposals included a railway tunnel underneath London Docks to connect the London to Brighton line with the Eastern Counties Railway (1845), docks for Holyhead and Porth Dinllaen in north Wales, which were competing for the Irish mail traffic (1846) and docks for Swansea (1847).  He then designed and built the Albert and Victoria Bridges in Datchet, with new roads between Windsor and Frogmore (1848–49).  He also designed Westminster Bridge (built between 1854 and 1862), the first Chelsea Bridge (opened 1858), and Lendal Bridge in York (opened 1863), and was responsible for the plans for the embankment and road on the stretch of the Thames between Vauxhall Bridge and Battersea Bridge (opened 1869).  In 1870, addressing the Society of Arts, he put forward the idea of a submerged tube to act as a tunnel between England and France. Page died in Paris on 8 January 1877.

Alf Gjessing. Alf Gjessing (7 September 1864 – 6 July 1922) was a Norwegian engineer.

He was born in Kristiania as a son of Mathias Dahl Gjessing and Amalie Beate Just. He was a nephew of Colonel Søren Christian Gjessing. In June 1896 he married Maja Riddervold Waage, a daughter of professor Peter Waage.

He took his education at the Technical University of Hannover. He graduated in 1887, and returned to Norway to work for Thune. After a second stay in Hannover from 1890 to 1891, studying railway and bridge engineering, he found work in the Norwegian State Railways and Kristiania municipality. In 1895 he was employed as a teacher of mechanical technology at Kristiania Technical School (today a part of Oslo University College). He was promoted to professor in July 1911.

From 1898 to 1900 he was the editor of machinery in Teknisk Ugeblad. He was also involved in the Norwegian Industrial Property Office and the Norwegian Association of Engineers. He died suddenly in July 1922, during a study trip with students to Magdeburg.

Dynamic structure factor. In condensed matter physics, the dynamic structure factor (or dynamical structure factor) is a mathematical function that contains information about inter-particle correlations and their time evolution. It is a generalization of the structure factor that considers correlations in both space and time. Experimentally, it can be accessed most directly by inelastic neutron scattering or X-ray Raman scattering.

The dynamic structure factor is most often denoted , where  (sometimes ) is a wave vector (or wave number for isotropic materials), and  a frequency (sometimes stated as energy, ). It is defined as:
 

Here , is called the intermediate scattering function and can be measured by neutron spin echo spectroscopy. The intermediate scattering function is the spatial Fourier transform of the van Hove function :

Thus we see that the dynamical structure factor is the spatial and temporal  Fourier transform of van Hove's time-dependent pair correlation function. It can be shown (see below), that the intermediate scattering function is the correlation function of the Fourier components of the density : 

The dynamic structure is exactly what is probed in coherent inelastic neutron scattering. The differential cross section is : 

where  is the scattering length.

The van Hove function
The van Hove function for a spatially uniform system containing  point particles is defined as:

It can be rewritten as:

NIAI LK-1. The LK-1 (Leningradskii Kombinat - Leningrad combine), (a.k.a. Fanera-2 – "Plywood no.2"), (a.k.a. NIAI-1) was a blended wing four-seat cabin aircraft designed and built in the USSR from  1933.

Development 
In 1930 the LIIPS (" Leningrad institute for sail and communications engineers") formed a UK GVF ( training centre for civil air fleet), and in turn the UK GVF formed the NIAI (Naoochno-Issledovatel'skiy Aero-Institoot (NIAI,  "scientific test aero-institute") which became the focus of several good design engineers who were given command of individual OKB (Osboye Konstrooktorskoye Byuro – personal design/construction bureau).

Lisichkin and Rentel designed the LK-1 in an attempt to build a very efficient small transport aircraft with the wing blending into the fuselage, forming the cockpit and cabin, with seats for three passengers and one pilot with extensive glazing. Construction was all of wood/plywood, with a conventional single spar wing with plywood covering. The engine, with Townend ring cowling, was fitted on the centre-line between the cockpits which gave the pilot an asymmetrical view through the leading edge glazing. The fixed tricycle undercarriage was fitted with spats to reduce drag.

Flight trials at Leningrad and state acceptance tests at the NII GVF(Naoochno-Issledovatel'skiy Institoot Grazdahnskovo Vozdooshnovo Flota - "scientific test institute for civil air fleet"), in Moscow, were very successful and an order for twenty production aircraft with modified tails, spats removed, no Townend ring, and other modifications was placed, for use by Aeroflot inside the USSR and the Arctic.

Variants 
 NIAI-1P – (Poplavkoviy – with floats), at least one aircraft fitted with twin floats.
