Sterling Airways Flight 901. On 15 March 1974, Sterling Airways Flight 901, a Sud Aviation Caravelle operated by Sterling Airways, experienced a landing gear failure as it was taxiing for take-off. The right main landing gear collapsed, which caused the right wing to contact the runway, rupturing a fuel tank and igniting the spilt fuel. The fire killed 15 passengers and injured 37 passengers and crew. The aircraft had been chartered by tour company Tjæreborg to take tourists around Asia, and was on the way back to Copenhagen when the accident happened. The accident came only two years after the crash of Sterling Airways Flight 296.

Aircraft
The aircraft involved in the accident was a Sud Aviation SE-210 Caravelle 10B3, registered as OY-STK. The aircraft made its first flight in 4 April 1970 and was delivered to Sterling Airways on 6 May 1970.

Passengers and crew
The aircraft was carrying 96 people of which 92 were passengers, two were pilots and two were cabin crew. The captain was 38-year-old Leif Knud Jørgensen, who had been with Sterling Airways since 1967, a captain since 1970 and had 9,600 flying hours. The co-pilot was Raimo Uski from Finland, who had 6,000 flying hours. The cabin crew consisted of 24-year-old Anne Bräuner and 22-year-old Bente Steffensen, both from Denmark. According to Danish newspaper Politiken, the nationalities of the passengers and crew were the following:

Accident
The Sud Aviation Caravelle had been chartered by travel agency Tjæreborg to take tourists on a tour around Asia. The tour had started in Copenhagen on 2 March 1974 and had taken the tourists to several cities, among them Shiraz, Bangkok, Hong Kong and New Delhi. The tour, on its 14th day, was making a quick refuelling stop at Tehran, before flying back to Copenhagen. As the aircraft was taxiing to the runway, the right main landing gear suddenly collapsed, causing a fuel tank in the right wing to rupture and spill fuel which then ignited.

Investigation
Soon after news of the accident had reached Copenhagen, the Danish Accident Investigation Board dispatched a team to Tehran, along with technicians from the Danish police and experts in identifying bodies. The AIB team was to assist the Iranian investigation team. Before the investigation began it was suspected that either metal fatigue or loss of hydraulics caused the accident. On the 30 March 1974 the AIB team released a statement stating that the probable cause of the accident was failure of the right main landing gear. As the landing gear was torn off, the fuel tank inside the wing ruptured, causing fuel to spill which then ignited. The accident report attributed the undercarriage collapse to a structural failure of the lower 'candelabra' fitting.

SMS V106. V106 was a torpedo boat of the Imperial German Navy, built in the A.G Vulcan Shipyard in 1914. She was originally ordered by the Dutch Navy and confiscated by Germany at the start of World War I; being scrapped in 1920.

Design 
V106 was designed by Stettiner Maschinenbau A.G. Vulcan shipyard as a torpedo boat for the Dutch Navy, as part one in a class of four sister ships (Z-1 to Z-4). She was  long overall and  at the waterline, with a beam of  and a maximum draught of . Displacement was  normal and  full load. Two oil-fired and two coal-fired Yarrow boilers fed steam at  to 2 direct-drive steam turbines rated at , giving a speed of .  of coal and  of oil were carried, giving a range of  at  or  at .

She was designed to carry an armament of two 75 mm (3-inch) guns and four 450 mm torpedo tubes, but she was completed with an armament of two 5.2 cm SK L/55 guns (capable of firing a  shell to a range of ) and two 450 mm torpedo tubes.

History 

V106 was originally ordered by the Koninklijke Marine (Dutch Navy) as the torpedo boat Z-2 (along with her sister ships Z-1, Z-3 and Z-4), one of four  (Dutch: Very large) torpedo boats to be built by A.G. Vulcan in their Stettin, Germany (now in Poland) shipyard. The four ships were taken over while still under construction on 10 August 1914 owing to the outbreak of the First World War. She was launched on 26 August 1914 and commissioned in  the Kaiserliche Marine (German Navy) on 25 January 1915.

She was used as a training vessel and a tender during the war. She, along with sister ship , was allocated to Brazil in the Treaty of Versailles, but was almost immediately sold and broken up for scrap in Britain in 1920.

Deutscher Aufbaudienst. Deutscher Aufbaudienst ('German Construction Service', abbreviated D.A.D.) was an organization of ethnic Germans in Slovakia during World War II, organizing volunteer labour for construction efforts. German sources claimed 19,725 persons participated in the D.A.D. brigades of 1941. 
In the summer of 1941 a women's wing of D.A.D. was set up under the leadership of Edith Neumann. 

Amongst the buildings constructed by the D.A.D. labour brigades was a sports stadium in Bratislava. Participants in the labour brigades were awarded pins with the D.A.D. symbol in bronze, silver or gild, depending on how many hours of volunteer labour they contributed with.

Fraser Experimental Forest. The Fraser Experimental Forest is an outdoor research laboratory to study timber, water, wildlife management, and their integration in the high elevation subalpine coniferous forests. The experimental forest was established in 1937, and encompasses . It is situated on the west side of the Continental Divide in north-central Colorado and includes the entire watershed of main Saint Louis Creek, a tributary of the Fraser River.

It is managed by the Rocky Mountain Research Station of the United States Forest Service and is located within the Arapaho National Forest. The forest was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1976, and was withdrawn from the UN reserve program as of June 14, 2017 at the request of the U.S. Government.

Ecosystems 
The Fraser Experimental Forest includes subalpine forests and alpine tundra typical of the central Rocky Mountains. In the forested areas below the timberline, Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii) and subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) are the predominant trees, at higher elevations, on north slopes, and along streams. Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) is the predominant tree at lower elevations and on drier upper slopes. The majority of the forest was initiated after a fire in 1685. Pockets of older trees exist in draws and at higher elevations.

Research 

Fraser is one of few sites in the Rocky Mountains that maintains long-term records on hydrology, climate, forest structure and growth, and responses to forest management. Fraser provides the capacity for researchers to do whole-ecosystem manipulations in watersheds that are representative of high-elevation watersheds of southern and central Rockies.

Most early research was oriented toward timber or water cycle and production resulting from forest management. For this research, many long-term study plots were established in both lodgepole pine and Engelmann spruce, and 7 watersheds were monitored for streamflow, climate and snow. Some of the records now exceed 60 years in length. Research on forest/wildlife interactions began in the 1950s. Biogeochemical studies began in the 1960s, were restarted in the 1970s, and have been continuous since 1982. Much of this work is done in cooperation with the National Park Service.

List of lost inventions. This is a list of lost inventions - technologies whose original capabilities cannot be recreated in the same form anymore. It does not include theoretical inventions.

Certain lost inventions
 Artificial petrifaction of human cadavers invented by Girolamo Segato.
 Greek fire, a Byzantine incendiary weapon used to set enemy ships on fire.
 Panjagan, a projectile weapon or archery technique used by the later Sasanians that could shoot a volley of five arrows.

Questionable examples
It is unknown whether these inventions truly existed, had all of their described properties, or were truly novel.
 Archimedes' heat ray, a device that Archimedes is purported to have used to burn attacking Roman ships during the siege of Syracuse.
 Claw of Archimedes, purportedly a sort of crane used to drop an attacking Roman ship partly down in to the water during the siege of Syracuse.
 Polybolos, an ancient Greek repeating ballista. A MythBusters episode built and tested a replica, concluding that it plausibly could have existed. However, the replica machine was prone to breakdowns.
 Roman flexible glass, whose inventor was reportedly beheaded so that gold and silver would not be devalued.
 Mithridate, said to have functioned as a panaceaic antidote.
 Sloot Digital Coding System, reported to have been able to store a complete digital movie file in 8 kilobytes of data.
 Stradivarius stringed instruments, considered some of the finest instruments ever made. Theories explaining their purported quality include denser wood unique to the time period due to solar activity, treatment with other materials like calcium and aluminum which have been found in a 2016 shaving, and technique. However, blind experiments have never conclusively found a difference between the sound of Stradivari's violins and other high-quality violins.
 Starlite is an intumescent material said to withstand enormous amounts of heat.
 Zhang's seismoscope, also known as hòufēng dìdòngyí, an ancient Chinese seismometer. Multiple modern recreations have been created, but it is debated whether they are mechanical replicas. Hong-sen Yan claims that they do not reach the seismoscope's historically reported level of accuracy and range.

Misconceptions 
These technologies can be recreated, but are sometimes claimed to be lost.

 The Blaschkas' Glass Flowers and glass sea creatures at Harvard are attributed to the extraordinary skill of the craftsmen.
 Human lunar landing, while possible to recreate in the vein of the six Apollo Moon landings, there is not currently the needed infrastructure to construct the required spacecraft.
 The Iron pillar of Delhi, notable for the rust-resistant composition of the metals used in its construction.

Prolog32. Arity/Prolog32 is an extended version of Prolog, a logic programming language associated with artificial intelligence and computational linguistics. It was originally developed at the Arity Corporation by Peter Gabel, Paul Weiss and Jim Greene.

Arity/Prolog32 allows a developer to create and execute Prolog programs for Windows, which are also operable on Linux using WINE. The software includes a compiler and interpreter written in Prolog, C, Assembler. The interpreter provides debugging support, and can be invoked from compiled code for applications that require dynamically modifiable code. It can either produce stand-alone programs, dynamic-link libraries, or applications where the code becomes subjugated within another system (one written, for example, in C). The software has been applied in various ways across a range of industries. For example, in the clothing industry, it was used to address differentials in quantity related to size, while in education, it provided a semi-automatic tool for teaching aids. A grammatical analyzer was implemented with SWI-Prolog, and after it was tested and analyzed with the Airty/Prolog32 interpreter and in the study of protein folding simulation.

William Cook Group. The William Cook group is a British steel company headquartered in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. It is the UK's largest manufacturer of steel castings.

History
William Cook was founded in 1840 in Glasgow, by the present chairman's great-great-grandfather, William Cook.  After surviving a bank failure in the latter half of the 19th century, a small factory was founded in Sheffield in 1883, making crucible steel castings for collieries.  The company remained in family ownership until 1956, when the company was floated on the London Stock Exchange.  The company continued to grow, building and developing a new works in Sheffield, which is today one of the group's four main plants.

The present Chairman, Sir Andrew Cook, took control of the company in 1981.  In 2004, the company was brought back to 100% family ownership after a hostile takeover bid from Triplex-Lloyd plc.

Company structure
The William Cook group consists of three arms - Cook Defence Systems, William Cook Rail and William Cook Cast Products.  William Cook Cast Products specialises in high-specification castings in specialist alloys for energy, infrastructure and specialist engineering.  Cook Defence Systems makes track systems and armoured steel castings for fighting vehicles. William Cook Rail makes cast steel components and complete coupler assemblies for trains.  The company has three main plants - one in Sheffield, one in Leeds, and one in Stanhope. The company is a member of the Cast Metals Federation, and the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC).

Significant activity
In 2014, the William Cook group was recognised as one of Yorkshire's Fastest 50 - a list of the fifty fastest growing companies in the region. In 2015, the British Secretary of State for Defence, the Rt Hon Michael Fallon, announced that the Ministry of Defence had awarded Cook Defence Systems a four-year, £70 million deal to supply spare tracks for the British Army's in-service armoured vehicles. This was followed in 2016 by Cook Defence Systems securing a £30m contract with General Dynamics to supply tracks for the British Army's new AJAX armoured vehicle.
In 2016, the Group joined the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) as a research partner. During the Russo-Ukrainian War Cook Defence Systems manufactured track for soviet built equipment for use by Ukraine.
