Coyne et Bellier. Coyne et Bellier is a global consulting and engineering firm based in Gennevilliers, France. They specialize in infrastructure projects such as dams, nuclear and hydroelectric power plants, roads, tunnels and other below-surface facilities. The company also carries out environmental and social impact assessment. They operate out of 43 offices in Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Africa. The company was created by André Coyne and is a subsidiary of Tractebel, now part of Engie.

History
The company was established by André Coyne in 1947 as Engineering Consultancy André Coyne et Jean Bellier (ACJB). Of the many projects the company designed, the Tignes Dam in France which was completed in 1952 which was followed by the Bin el Ouidane Dam in Morocco in 1953. In 1959, the Kariba Dam along the Zambia/Zimbabwe border was completed and the Malpasset Dam in France, which was completed in 1954, had a tragic failure. In the same year work was complete on two reactors at the Marcoule Nuclear Site in France along with the Yaté Dam in New Caledonia.

In 1960, the Serre-Ponçon Dam was completed and André Coyne died. Two years later ACJB became Coyne et Bellier. They continued to design dams that were completed to include their 100th dam, Jatiluhur Dam in Indonesia, Daniel-Johnson Dam in Canada (1968) and Tour Aurore office building in France (1970).

In 1976, Electrobel became the primary shareholder of the company. They completed El Saada Dam, their 150th, in Algeria in 1978. Electrobel merged with Tractionnel in 1987 to form Tractebel. Tricastin Nuclear Power Plant in France was completed in 1980 and the Grande Arche, also in France in 1989. When the Aoulouz Dam in Morocco was completed in 1990, it marked their 200th dam designed. Birecik Dam in Turkey was completed in 2000 and the Machadinho and Cana Brava Dams in Brazil were completed.

Coyne et Bellier was renamed Tractebel Engineering SA in 2009 but still operates under their original name and serves their parent's hydraulic sector.

JS Shirayuki. JS Shirayuki (DD-123/TV-3517) was a  of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. The ship was commissioned in 1982.

Design
The Hatsuyuki class were designed as multi-purpose ships, with a balanced armament and sensor fit, so that the ships could carry out anti-submarine and anti-surface ship operations while being capable of defending themselves against air attack. A hangar and flight deck are carried for a single helicopter, which was initially the Mitsubishi HSS-2, a license-built Sikorsky Sea King, later replaced by Mitsubishi H-60s (licensed Sikorsky S-70s), with the Canadian Beartrap haul-down system fitted to ease operations of large helicopters. An octuple Mk 112 launcher for ASROC anti-submarine missiles is fitted forward, while additional close-in anti-submarine armament is provided by two triple 324 mm torpedo-tubes for Mark 46 anti-submarine torpedoes. The initial anti-aircraft armament consisted of a Sea Sparrow surface-to-air missile launcher aft, with an OTO Melara 76 mm gun forward. Eight Harpoon anti-ship missiles are carried in two quadruple mounts abaft the ship's funnel.

Construction and career 
Shirayuki was ordered as part of the Japan Self-Defense Forces 1978 defense estimates as the second ship of the Hatsuyuki class, and was laid down at Hitachi's Maizuru shipyard on 3 December 1979. The ship was launched on 4 August 1981, and commissioned on 8 February 1983.

On 8 July 2013, Shirayuki,  and  were anchored at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. From 22 to 25 July, they left for a visit to Portsmouth, United Kingdom. After leaving Portsmouth, they sailed for Gdańsk Bay, Poland on 6 August then on 20 August, Brest, France. All three Japanese ships later made a four-day trip to Da Nang, Vietnam, was made on 21 October for the 40th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries. On 25 November, they passed the Kiel Canal in Germany.

On 16 February 2015, Shirayuki,  and  made a goodwill visit to Muara Port, Brunei Darussalam.

Shirayuki was decommissioned on 27 April 2016.

Pyromellitic dianhydride. Pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) is an organic compound with the formula C6H2(C2O3)2. It is the double carboxylic acid anhydride that is used in the preparation of polyimide polymers such as Kapton. It is a white, hygroscopic solid. It forms a hydrate.

Preparation
It is prepared by gas-phase oxidation of 1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene (or related tetrasubstituted benzene derivatives). An idealized equation is:
C6H2(CH3)4 + 6 O2 → C6H2(C2O3)2 + 6 H2O
In the laboratory, it can be prepared by dehydration of pyromellitic acid using acetic anhydride.

Reactions

PMDA is an electron-acceptor, forming a variety of charge-transfer complexes.  It reacts with amines to diimides, C6H2[(CO)2NR]2 which also have acceptor properties.

Applications
PMDA is used in PET bottle recycling as a chain extender. It increases the molecular weight of the polymer by linking-together alcohol and carboxylic acid groups formed by hydrolysis of the PET. This improves the rheological properties and overall quality of the recycled plastic.

Safety
Evidence suggests that PMDA causes occupational asthma.

Sunseeker Duo. The Sunseeker Duo is a twin seat all-electric solar-recharged powered aircraft. Designed by Eric Scott Raymond, the plane can take off and achieve enough height for the motor to be switched off and follow thermals like a glider (sailplane), allowing the batteries to be recharged through the solar cells on the wings. Still in testing phase, the company, Solar Flight, does not provide information on the range.

Development
The Sunseeker Duo is a high aspect ratio side-by-side seat composite construction high-wing aircraft with a T-tail arrangement with a single electric motor mounted in the tailfin (vertical stabilizer) driving a forward mounted propeller. The first all-solar power generated flight was performed near Milan, Italy with company owners Eric Scott Raymond and Irena Raymond. 1510 solar cells capable of generating up to 5 kilowatts power the motor and battery pack.

Elbrus-8S. The Elbrus-8S () is a Russian 28 nanometer 8-core microprocessor developed by Moscow Center of SPARC Technologies (MCST). The first prototypes were produced by the end of 2014 and serial production started in 2016. The Elbrus-8S is to be used in servers and workstations. The processor's architecture allows support of up to 32 processors on a single server motherboard.

In 2018 MCST announced plans to produce the Elbrus-8SV, an upgraded version of the 8C with doubled performance. The CPU can process 576 Gflops and has a frequency of 1.5 GHz, as well as DDR4 support instead of DDR3. Engineering samples were already completed in Q3 2017. Development was completed in 2019 and its fabrication started in 2020.

In 2021 the processor was offered to Sberbank, Russia's largest bank, for evaluation in light of a potential use for some of the company's hardware needs. The evaluation had a negative outcome, as the functional requirements were not met.

2023 benchmark demonstrated that the Elbrus-8SV performed moderately in gaming with games that were 10 years old but was incompatible with many modern games tested.

Successor Elbrus-16C was announced in 2020 with declared start of manufacturing in October 2021 but hasn't entered the market as of 2023 yet.

Supported operating systems
The Elbrus-8S and -SV processors support binary compatibility with Intel x86 and x86-64 processors via runtime binary translation. The documentation suggests that the processors can run Windows XP and Windows 7. The processors can also run a Linux kernel based OS compiled for Elbrus.

Columbia Electric Street Railway, Light & Power Substation. Columbia Electric Street Railway, Light & Power Substation is a historic power substation located at Columbia, South Carolina, USA. It was built in 1900 with later additions and alterations, and is a two-story, Italian Renaissance Revival style red brick building. It features an arcade of rounded compound arches or archivolts. From  1900 until 1936, the building served as a power substation for the Columbia Electric Street Railway, Light & Power Company and its successors.

The Columbia Electric Street Railway, Light & Power Company Substation is architecturally significant for its distinctive Italian Renaissance Revival characteristics and historically significant for its direct association with Columbia's street railway or trolley system. The building was designed by W. B. Smith Whaley, an architect well known for his cotton mills throughout the American southeast. The substation, like many of Whaley's designs, is typically Italian Renaissance Revival in many of its defining features. The primary construction material is monochromatic red brick, laid in common or American bond pattern. The primary architectural element is the arcade of rounded compound arches or archivolts springing from broad piers. The massing is heavy, solid, and imposing. This weightiness is further emphasized by the flat roof and the recessed window and door openings. The substation was renovated in 1912 to meet the growing needs of the burgeoning trolley system - the electrical equipment was upgraded, three bays were added to the west end of the building, a second story was added within the volume of the building, the original office space was removed, and the tile floor was replaced with reinforced concrete throughout the building. A monitor roof was also installed (though removed at a later date), and the cornice on the west elevation was removed and reused on the extended north elevation. From its construction in 1900 until 1936, when the trolley system permanently discontinued service, the building served as a power substation (and briefly as the general offices) for the Columbia Electric Street Railway, Light & Power Company and its successors. The trolley system operated by this company and powered by the substation played an integral part in the creation, growth, and subsequent annexation of Columbia's suburbs during the early twentieth century. These developments are illustrative of the broad pattern of trolley-based public transportation and suburban expansion of many American cities in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.

Fluazinam. Fluazinam is a broad-spectrum fungicide used in agriculture. It is classed as a diarylamine and more specifically an arylaminopyridine. Its chemical name is 3-chloro-N-(3-chloro-2,6-dinitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridinamine. The mode of action involves the compound being an extremely potent uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria and also having high reactivity with thiols. It is unique amongst uncouplers in displaying broad-spectrum activity against fungi and also very low toxicity to mammals due to it being rapidly metabolised to a compound without uncoupling activity. It was first described in 1992 and was developed by researchers at the Japanese company Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha.

Uses
Fluazinam is a protectant fungicide, but is neither systemic or curative. It acts by inhibiting the germination of spores and the development of infection structures. Although it has activity against many fungi, it is less potent against rusts and powdery mildew and as such has not been commercialised for use in cereal crops. It is widely used to control late blight (P. infestans) in potato due to its activity against the zoospores of the pathogen which makes it particularly effective at controlling infection of the potato tubers. Because of its extensive usage to control late blight in Europe, there are confirmed reports of resistance to fluazinam appearing in P. infestans in genotypes EU_33_A2 and EU_37_A2. Fluazinam is also used to control Sclerotinia on peanuts and turf, Botrytis on grapes and beans and clubroot in brassicas.

Toxicity
The acute oral median lethal dose in rats is very low at over 5000 mg/kg due to the compound's reactivity with thiols. This reactivity can have negative consequences since repeated exposure can cause skin sensitization and dermatitis to develop in some individuals. Fluazinam also displays low toxicity to birds, bees and worms, but has a high toxicity to fish. The toxicity towards fish is considered to be relatively unimportant, since the compound has a very short half-life (around 1 day) in aquatic systems.

Boron fiber. Boron fiber or boron filament is an amorphous product which represents the major industrial use of elemental boron. Boron fiber manifests a combination of high strength and high elastic modulus.

A common use of boron fibers is in the construction of high tensile strength tapes. Boron fiber use results in high-strength, lightweight materials that are used chiefly for advanced aerospace structures as a component of composite materials, as well as limited production consumer and sporting goods such as golf clubs and fishing rods.

One of the uses of boron fiber composites was the horizontal tail surfaces of the F-14 Tomcat fighter. This was done because carbon fiber composites were not then developed to the point they could be used, as they were in many subsequent aircraft designs. Boron fiber is a primary reinforcement constituent in Hy-Bor, a prepreg blend of boron fiber and carbon fiber primarily used for high-performance aerospace and sporting goods applications.

In the production process, elemental boron is deposited on an even tungsten wire substrate which produces diameters of 4.0 mil (102 micron) and 5.6 mil (142 micron). It  consists of a fully borided tungsten core with amorphous boron.

Boron fibers and sub-millimeter sized crystalline boron springs are produced by laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition. Translation of the focused laser beam allows to produce even complex helical structures. Such structures show good mechanical properties (elastic modulus 450 GPa, fracture strain 3.7%, fracture stress 17 GPa) and can be applied as reinforcement of ceramics or in micromechanical systems.
