Shin-Keisei 8800 series. The  is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Shin-Keisei Electric Railway on the Shin-Keisei Line in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, since 1986.

Formations
, the fleet consists of 16 six-car sets based at Kunugiyama Depot with three motored (M) cars and three trailer (T) cars, formed as shown below, with the Tc1 car at the Tsudanuma end.

 The M and M2 cars are each fitted with two lozenge-type pantographs. Sets 8804, 8808, 8812, and 8816 have single-arm pantographs.
 The T car is designated as having mild air-conditioning.

Interior

History
The trains were originally formed as eight-car sets, with the first set introduced on 26 February 1986. This was followed by four more sets in 1987, two sets in 1988, two sets in 1989, two sets in 1990, and one set in 1991.

The original eight-car sets were formed as follows. The two M2 cars were each fitted with two lozenge-type pantographs.

With Shin-Keisei's revised timetable on 10 December 2006, the 8800 series, alongside the 8000 and N800 series, began operation on Keisei Chiba Line through services. Three 8800 series sets (8801, 8841, and 8865) were rearranged to form four 6-car sets initially.

In 2013, sets 8806 and 8815 were experimentally equipped with LED headlights, but these were subsequently replaced by conventional lights. Set 8801 received LED headlights from June 2015.

Livery variations
The 8800 series originally carried a livery of beige with thin brown waistline striping. In 2006, coinciding with the introduction of Keisei Chiba Line through services, the 8800 series received a revised livery with thin maroon waistline stripes, reminiscent of the livery used with the N800 series.

The first set to receive Shin-Keisei's new pink corporate livery introduced in 2014 was 8816 in August 2014.

Refurbishment
A programme of refurbishment of the fleet was started in 2017, with new interior panels, flooring and seat covers. One trainset is scheduled to be treated every year.

Retro Paint Train campaign 
In July 2024, Shin-Keisei began operating various trains in former liveries, starting with N800 series set N838. 8800 series set 8808 returned to service with the Chiba Line through-service livery on 24 September 2024. On 18 November of that year, set 8813 returned to service in the fleet's original livery.

James W. Voss. James 'Jim' Wilson Voss is an American senior nuclear engineer who has managed nuclear materials and radioactive waste since graduating from the University of Arizona in the 1970s. Voss became known to Australians through his managing directorship of Pangea Resources, a consortium which planned to establish a nuclear waste repository in Australia in the late 1990s. Pangea's proposal was ultimately rejected following the efforts of the anti-nuclear movement in Australia. Voss is currently working at UCL Australia as an Honorary Reader. As of 2015 Voss is a partner at Predicus Consulting and a director of companies in the USA and the United Kingdom.

Career 
In 1998, Voss attempted to build a case for the establishment and private management of a nuclear waste repository at Billa Kalina in Australia.

He has been responsible for what he describes as "nuclear waste engineering and radioactive facility and site remediation activities" in North America, Europe, Australia and Japan. Voss has also held Chief Executive positions in several companies in the USA, Europe and Australia through which he has managed project financing, revenue streams and corporate strategies. Voss has served in the Executive Office of the President of the United States under two Presidents and has advised senior government officials in many countries.

Voss is a licensed engineer in the European Union (EurIng), a Chartered Engineer in the UK and a Fellow of the UK Nuclear Institute. He organises the Waste Management Symposium, which is held annually in Tucson, Arizona.

On 25 March 2014, Voss delivered a UCL Grote Lecture in Adelaide, South Australia. His presentation was entitled Energy and environmental public policy: Joining the dots between public policy, economics and implementation.

In late 2015, Voss gave testimony on nuclear fuel leasing as an expert witness to the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission in South Australia.

In May 2016, Voss spoke at another Grote Lecture series event at UCL Australia entitled Circular Economy Series: Nuclear: A waste of time, energy and money?

Voss is the Managing Director of the waste management symposium Australian Nuclear Fuel Cycle '16. Its inaugural event was held in Adelaide, South Australia on 15–16 November 2016.

Shin-Keisei 8000 series. The  is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Shin-Keisei Electric Railway on the Shin-Keisei Line in Chiba Prefecture, Japan from 1978 to 2021.

Formations
, the fleet consists of three six-car sets based at Kunugiyama Depot with four motored (M) intermediate cars and two driving trailer (Tc) cars, formed as shown below, with the odd-numbered Tc car at the Tsudanuma end.

 The M2 cars are each fitted with two lozenge-type pantographs.
 The middle M1 car is designated as having mild air-conditioning.

History
The first set was introduced on 1 December 1978. Eight more sets were introduced between 1979 and 1985. With the introduction of newer trains, scrapping and retirements began in 2011. The last set, 8512, was retired on 1 November 2021, following an announcement on the company's official Twitter account.

Livery variations
Trainsets introduced from 1979 onward carried what subsequently became known as the Shin-Keisei "standard livery", consisting of beige with a brown stripe below the windows. This livery was also used on the 8800 series trains introduced in 1986. From December 2006, the trains were repainted into a modified version of this livery with the brown stripes replaced by maroon stripes, coinciding with the start of through-running to and from the Keisei Chiba Line.

The first set to receive Shin-Keisei's new pink and white corporate livery introduced in 2014 was 8518 in April 2017.

In 2017, one of the last three 8000 series sets remaining in service, 8512, was specially repainted into the standard livery introduced in 1979.

Aktien-Gesellschaft Gladenbeck. Aktien-Gesellschaft Gladenbeck was a foundry located in Berlin, Germany, that operated from 1851 until 1926. During the 75-year period when the foundry was in operation it was one of the most important foundries in Germany and was known for producing high quality bronze castings.

History
The Aktien-Gesellschaft Gladenbeck foundry opened for business in 1851 in Berlin, Prussia, under the leadership of its founder, Carl Gustav Hermann Gladenbeck. It was one of the most important foundries in Germany, known for its high quality bronze castings. Some of the first bronze sculptures that emerged from the foundry were marked "Gladenbeck" with subsequent castings over the years being marked "Gladenbeck und Sohn", "Akt-Ges v.H. Gladenbeck", "Akt-Ges Gladenbeck Berlin" or "Aktien-Gesellschaft Gladenbeck". 
  
The foundry cast many of the best known bronze sculptures created by German artists in the mid-to-late 19th century and early 20th century. In addition to serving the usually modest casting requirements of German sculptors, the foundry was also capable of casting large-scale bronze statues. In 1913 the Gladenbeck foundry cast the monumental Confederate Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery.

In 1910, Gladenbeck cast theThree Dancing Maidens Untermyer fountain by sculptor Walter Schott. The fountain is located in Conservatory Garden, Central Park, New York. The sculpture – situated on a limestone plinth – depicts three young ladies holding hands in a circle "whose dresses cling to their wet bodies as if they were perpetually in the fountain's spray". The fountain includes three jets, two on the oval pool's sides and a larger one in the center of the sculpture.

In the early 1920s, art deco master Ferdinand Preiss employed Gladenbeck to cast many of his bronze and chryselephantine sculptures.

TUS Airways. TUS Airways is an airline from Cyprus. It is headquartered in Larnaca and based in Larnaca International Airport. The airline was established in June 2015 and started flights from Larnaca on 14 February 2016.

History
TUS Airways was founded in June 2015 and is backed by investors from Europe and the United States. It was the first Cypriot airline to be founded after the dissolution of Cyprus Airways in 2015. TUS Airways began operations on 14 February 2016 with a Saab 340B operating from Larnaca to Tel Aviv and Haifa in Israel. In July 2016, the airline received its first Saab 2000 to increase capacity on its routes. In June 2017, the airline acquired its first jet aircraft, two Fokker 100. It subsequently bought five Fokker 70, bringing the total number of aircraft to seven.

In September 2019, there were reports stating the airline was going to close but the management team at the time dismissed these reports. In 2021, the airline confirmed that the name TUS Airways will remain and that the airline will resume operations in summer of 2021 under a new business model, a new management team and a new fleet centred around the Airbus A320 aircraft. By 2023, TUS Airways was the largest Cypriot airline by fleet size, operating five aircraft with scheduled and charter operations from both Larnaca & Paphos.

Complex oxide. A complex oxide is a chemical compound that contains oxygen and at least two other elements (or oxygen and just one other element that's in at least two oxidation states). Complex oxide materials are notable for their wide range of magnetic and electronic properties, such as ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, and high-temperature superconductivity. These properties often come from their strongly correlated electrons in d or f orbitals.

Natural occurrence
Many minerals found in the ground are complex oxides. Commonly studied mineral crystal families include spinels and perovskites.

Applications
Complex oxide materials are used in a variety of commercial applications.

Magnets

Magnets made of the complex oxide ferrite are commonly used in transformer cores and in inductors. Ferrites are ideal for these applications because they are magnetic, electrically insulating, and inexpensive.

Transducers and actuators

Piezoelectric transducers and actuators are often made of the complex oxide PZT (lead zirconate titanate). These transducers are used in applications such ultrasound imaging and some microphones. PZT is also sometimes used for piezo ignition in lighters and gas grills.

Capacitors

Complex oxide materials are the dominant dielectric material in ceramic capacitors. About one trillion ceramic capacitors are produced each year to be used in electronic equipment.

Fuel cells

Solid oxide fuel cells often use complex oxide materials as their electrolytes, anodes, and cathodes.

Gemstone jewelry

Many precious gemstones, such as emerald and topaz, are complex oxide crystals. Historically, some complex oxide materials (such as strontium titanate, yttrium aluminium garnet, and gadolinium gallium garnet) were also synthesized as inexpensive diamond simulants, though after 1976 they were mostly eclipsed by cubic zirconia.

New electronic devices
As of 2015, there is research underway to commercialize complex oxides in new kinds of electronic devices, such as ReRAM, FeRAM, and memristors. Complex oxide materials are also being researched for their use in spintronics.

Another potential application of complex oxide materials is superconducting power lines. A few companies have invested in pilot projects, but the technology is not widespread.

Commonly studied complex oxides
 Barium titanate (a multiferroic material)
 Bismuth ferrite (a multiferroic material)
 Bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide (a high-temperature superconductor)
 Lanthanum aluminate (a high-dielectric insulator)
 Lanthanum strontium manganite (a material exhibiting colossal magnetoresistance)
