Differential static light scatter. Differential static light scatter (DSLS) is a term coined to represent the change in total light scatter of a system over time or temperature in a static environment.

Static light scattering or SLS and its many types are well outlined in literature and is the base principal for DSLS but varies specifically in that the difference (before and after) is the focus of this measurement. Typically the system will commence measurement at T0 and over the course of time measure the change in light scatter. One of the more practical applications of DSLS is in the area of proteomic research and protein based chemistry. Solution conditions can be varied across samples of a specific protein in a screening scenario and the system can be kept at either a static temperature or be ramped up, or in some cases down. The change will be observed over time and the focus of the calculation is on the amount of change in signal from T0 to Tfinal . This method of analysis provides researchers with data that helps them predict a protein or compound's stability in various conditions and further, in the case of proteomic structural work, can help identify the best protein candidates, and their optimal conditions to crystallize and thereby undergo x-ray crystallography for structural analysis.

There are other technologies or techniques using similar concepts such as DLS (dynamic light scattering) to obtain this information with the help of fluorophores and the use of lasers for excitation however the primary focus in this arena is on particle sizing. Also DLS has a greater focus in 'flow-based' instrumentation. Many proteins are discovered on an annual basis and in the field of drug discovery it is very important characterize the structure of a novel peptides as well as the best conditions to keep them in solution. Because of this staggering number of potential therapeutics churning out of this research sector today there is a strong need for instrumentation to best capture this data and to date there are a few solutions that are DSLS focused.  One such oriented instrument designed for high throughput scenarios utilizing standard HTS (high-throughput screening) SBS standard type plates (or automation friendly) is the StarGazer2.

There are other solutions also available that have either wider focus to include particular sizing and Zeta potential but are limited but are limited by how many samples can be run at once, thus, non-HTS. As DSLS in principal measures particles as they either aggregate (or grow larger) or, in theory, breakdown and grow smaller, this technology and method of measurement will pull in a number of great applications in the future in the food and beverage, or environmental sector as the technology is stretched into new applications beyond proteomics.

Arthur Porr. Arthur Porr (born 11 June 1872, in Berehove; died 17 October 1915 in Vienna) was an Austrian building contractor and inventor of various techniques for concrete-based construction.

The son of a Transylvanian wood trader graduated from the Militäroberrealschule (military secondary school) in Mährisch Weißkirchen and the engineering department of the Imperial and Royal Technical Military Academy in Vienna.   He was made second lieutenant in the Railway and Telegraph Regiment in 1893 and was promoted to first lieutenant in 1897.   In the same year he resigned from the military service and then worked for various construction companies in the development of reinforced concrete construction.   At the beginning of the 20th century, the inventions of civil engineers helped the concrete building method to break through.    This technology secured the leading position for the company A.   Porr Concrete Construction GmbH founded in 1908 with O. Stern, whose CEO Arthur Porr was until 1914. The merger with the Allgemeinen österreichischen Baugesellschaft created in 1927 the Allgemeine Baugesellschaft - A. Porr AG, today Porr AG.

Goobi. Goobi (Abbr. of Göttingen online-objects binaries) is an open-source software suite intended to support mass digitisation projects for cultural heritage institutions. The software implements international standards such as METS, MODS and other formats maintained by the Library of Congress. Goobi consists of several independent modules serving different purposes such as controlling the digitization workflow, enriching descriptive and structural metadata, and presenting the results to the public in a modern and convenient way. It is used by archives, libraries, museums, publishers and scanning utilities.

Structure 
Goobi has the following properties:
 Central management of the digital copies (images)
 Central metadata management: it is possible to catalogue and integrate metadata from various locations
 Controlling mechanisms: they are used to control the progress of work of the partners
 Export and import interfaces for metadata and third-party digital copies
 Management tasks: managing error messages, completion of work steps and conveying to the next step, including changing partners
 Platform-independence: Goobi is a Web application and has to be designed in this way, as partners in digitisation of a customer are often distributed all over the world.

Components for the distributed workflow management are integrated into the product to ensure the management of a distributed communication and production among various partners.

History
Goobi is widely used in 40 European libraries in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and UK.
The workflow part of the software existed in two different forks of the original Goobi software. While the Goobi community edition was cooperatively maintained by major German libraries and digitization service providers, the Intranda edition is developed by a single company.

In May 2016, the German Goobi association Goobi Digitalisieren im Verein e. V. decided to choose the new name Kitodo to avoid legal problems with the old name Goobi.

The software Goobi will be further developed.

ULTRA (machine translation system). ULTRA is a machine translation system created for five languages (Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, English, and German) in the Computing Research Laboratory in 1991.

ULTRA (Universal Language Translator), is a machine translation system developed at the Computing Research Laboratory, which can translate between five languages (Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, English and German). It uses Artificial intelligence as well as linguistic and logic programming methods. The main goal of the system is to be robust, to cover general language and to be simple to use.  It uses bidirectional parsers/generators.

The system has a language-independent system of intermediate representation, which means that it takes into account needs for expression (expression is one of the main elements of language) and it uses relaxation techniques to provide the best translation. It used an X Window user interface.

ULTRA's databases 

 ULTRA has vocabularies based on about 10,000 word senses in each of its five languages.
 It represents expressions.
 It has an access to many dictionary databases.

Operation 

Users paste a sentence into the "source" window. They chose a target language and press Translate. The tool translates the source text, taking into consideration what is said, how it is said and why it is said.

Lexical entries in the system have two parts:
 Specific language entry corresponding to the graphic form, which is representing some kind of information/sense and
 Intermediate representation giving proper forms that represent the sense of the expression.
ULTRA works with Intermediate representation of the language between the systems, so no transfer takes place. Each language has its own systems, which are independent. Having the independent systems gives an extra benefit. Adding another language does not disrupt existing language translations.

Intermediate representation 
Developers David Farwell and Yorick Wilks created IR (interlingual representation). It was a base for analyzing and generating expressions.

They analyzed many different types of communications (business letters, documents, emails) to compare the communication style. ULTRA looks for the best words for some kinds of information and good forms and equivalents for some expression in target language.

Iowa Malleable Iron Company. The Iowa Malleable Iron Company was a historic industrial complex located in Fairfield, Iowa, United States.  At one time the historic designation included nine buildings, most of them have been torn down.  The remaining building was the two-story office building for the factory that was constructed in 1924.  Most of the complex was built in 1904 north of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad tracks.  The company produced malleable iron castings for agricultural implement manufacturers, including Fairfield's Louden Machinery Company.  For the most part it was established by the officers of the Louden Company, and it is thought to be the first foundry of its kind between the Mississippi River and Pueblo, Colorado.  The two companies maintained a close association throughout their histories.  The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.

Ellen Cove Jetty. Ellen Cove Jetty also known as Middleton Beach Jetty is a jetty found at the southern end of Middleton Beach in King George Sound in Albany in the Great Southern region of Western Australia.

Work commenced on the jetty with piles being driven into the sand bed at Ellen Cove in late 1899; construction was completed in 1901, at a cost of £150.

The jetty served in the transport of goods and people of Albany. It is now primarily used for recreational purposes.

It is constructed from reinforced concrete and wood, 15 concrete piles set at regular intervals with wooden decking spanning the piles. The jetty has been rebuilt several times with no evidence that any of the original structure remains.

Both the jetty and the mature Norfolk Island pine trees along the shoreline were listed with the Heritage Council of Western Australia in 2000.

The Middleton Beach shark barrier was built in 2016 enclosing the waters around the jetty.
