Tantalcarbide. Tantalcarbide is a rare mineral of tantalum carbide with formula TaC.  With a molecular weight of 192.96 g/mol, its primary constituents are tantalum (93.78%) and carbon (6.22%), and has an isometric crystal system. It generally exhibits a bronze or brown to yellow color. On the Mohs hardness scale it registers as a 6–7. Tantalcarbide is generally found in a granular state. It is extremely dense at 14.6 g/. Sub-conchoidal fracturing is exhibited.

Specimens are extremely rare in nature. It is the only known mineral to exhibit the composition of TaC.

Tantalum carbide powder is used for many real world applications. Generally however it is not produced from the mineral tantalcarbide due to the rarity. Instead it is prepared by other means.

Natural occurrence 
Tantalcarbide in its natural state is extremely rare. Most specimens have been found in the middle Urals or mines in Italy. The first documented specimen was discovered in the Nizhnetagilsky District in the Middle Urals, by P. Walther in 1909.

Other locations have been documented. Western Australia, and in Craveggia, Italy.

Etymology 
The name tantalcarbide is quite clearly a mention to its primary constituents of tantalum and carbon. However it was originally thought to be native tantalum in 1909. It was renamed to tantalum carbide in 1926, then renamed to tantalcarbide in 1966.

Properties 
Tantalcarbide is hexoctahedral, with a space group of Fm3m. Its generally found as granular or tabular crystals. Quite often it is found mixed with other sands.

It has an extremely high melting point of around 3800 °C, although actually testing of this has not been documented. Tantalcarbide is isostructural with niobocarbide, and is coincidentally found in the same localities. Niobocarbide is composed of niobium and carbon.

Use and applications 
Tantalcarbide is found in too small of quantities for it be used commercially. However tantalum carbide powders are used for tools, or cermet.

Peretaite. Peretaite is a sulfate of antimony and calcium. The mineral, Ca(SbO)4(SO4)2(OH)2
(2(H2O)), was named Peretaite for its locality. It was first discovered in an antimony-bearing vein at Pereta, Tuscany, Italy.

Occurrence 
Peretaite occurs in only small quantities, as aggregates of tabular crystals. The crystals are found in the geodes of a deeply silicified limestone. It also occurs in the cavities of columnar stibnite. Other associated minerals are stibnite, quartz, calcite, pyrite, valentinite, kermesite, sulfur, and gypsum. Peretaite can often be red from the inclusion of valentinite. The mineral was formed by the action of sulfuric acid on the stibnite; peretaite is closer to the boundary of the country rock limestone, which is the source of the calcium in peretaite.

Physical properties 
The mineral peretaite has transparent crystals that are colorless. It has a vitreous luster and perfect {100} cleavage. The density of peretaite was determined by a heavy-liquid method, crystals tend to float in a Clerici solution, which has a density of 4.0 g/cm3, therefore the density is 3.8 g/cm3.

Chemical properties 
The mineral is made up of 4 oxides. Most of this mineral is made up of an Antimony oxide, Calcium, and a sulfur oxide. Some of the qualitative analyses of peretaite were done by an ORTEC X-ray microanalyzer and an ARL SEMQ electron microprobe. Later it was discovered that the crystals would disintegrate under the electron beam. Therefore, a wet chemical analysis was performed for the sulfur content, calcium was determined by atomic absorption, and antimony was determined by alternating current anodic stripping voltammetry.

Crystallography 
X-ray single-crystal study indicated peretaite had a symmetry of 2/m with a space group of C2/c or Cc and a crystal system of monoclinic.

Reihenwerfer. The Reihenwerfer or Mittlerer Schützenpanzerwagen S303(f) mit Reihenwerfer was a self-propelled barrage mortar used by the Wehrmacht during World War II.

History
After the Fall of France in 1940 large amounts of French military hardware fell into German hands.  Two systems that were captured in sizable numbers were the SOMUA MCL half-track artillery tractor and the 81 mm Brandt Mle 27/31 mortar.  Since the Germans were short of resources both were issued to German units.  The SOMUA MCL was given the German designation S303(f) and the mle 27/31 was given the designation GrW 278(f).            

The Reihenwerfer consisted of 20 GrW 278(f) barrels in two rows of 10 which were mounted on a common framework that was attached to a base mounted on the back of an armored S303(f) chassis.  The mortars and half-tracks were converted by Major Alfred Becker's workshop (Baukommando Becker) in Paris.  All 20 barrels could be traversed 360° and elevated together from +35° to +90°, with the outer barrels pointing slightly outwards to increase the spread of the barrage.  The vehicle carried 90 rounds of ready use ammunition and each barrel held a single round at the top of the tube until fired by pulling a lanyard.  The round then slid down the tube until it hit a firing pin which launched it.  In action, all 20 barrels were fired in rapid succession, but not simultaneously to saturate the target area.  The Reihenwerfer was deployed by German units in Northern France during the Normandy landings.

DSEEP. Distributed Simulation Engineering and Execution Process (DSEEP) is a standardized process for building federations of computer simulations. DSEEP is maintained by SISO and the standard is published as IEEE Std 1730-2010. DSEEP is a recommended systems engineering process in the NATO Modelling and Simulation Standards Profile AMSP-01, which also uses DSEEP as a framework for describing when other standards are to be used throughout a project process.

DSEEP can be used together with several interoperability standards, such as HLA, DIS and TENA. DSEEP was previously called FEDEP (Federation Development and Execution Process).

DSEEP steps

DSEEP consists of seven steps that can be carried out in a linear fashion, or iterated using a spiral approach. The steps are:

 Define Simulation Environment Objectives 
 Perform Conceptual Analysis 
 Design Simulation Environment 
 Develop Simulation Environment 
 Integrate and Test Simulation Environment 
 Execute Simulation 
 Analyse Data and Evaluate Results
