Adaptive website. An adaptive website is a website that builds a model of user activity and modifies the information and/or presentation of information to the user in order to better address the user's needs.

Overview 
An adaptive website adjusts the structure, content, or presentation of information in response to measured user interaction with the site, with the objective of optimizing future user interactions. Adaptive websites "are web sites that automatically improve their organization and presentation by learning from their user access patterns." User interaction patterns may be collected directly on the website or may be mined from Web server logs. A model or models are created of user interaction using artificial intelligence and statistical methods. The models are used as the basis for tailoring the website for known and specific patterns of user interaction.

Techniques 
 The collaborative filtering method: Collected user data may be assessed in aggregate (across multiple users) using machine learning techniques to cluster interaction patterns to user models and classify specific user patterns to such models. The website may then be adapted to target clusters of users. In this approach, the models are explicitly created from historic user information with new users are classified to an existing model and a pre-defined mapping is used for existing content and content organization.
 The statistical hypothesis testing method: A/B testing or similar methods are used in conjunction with a library of possible changes to the website or a change-generation method (such as random variation). This results in the automated process website change, impact assessment, and adoption of change. Some examples include genetify for website look and feel, and snap ads for online advertising. In this approach (specifically genetify), the model is represented implicitly in the population of possible sites and adapted for all users that visit the site.

Differentiation 
User landing pages (such as iGoogle) that allow the user to customize the presented content are not adaptive websites as they rely on the user to select rather than the automation of the selection and presentation of the web widget's that appear on the website.

Collaborative filtering such as recommender systems, generate and test methods such as A/B testing, and machine learning techniques such as clustering and classification that are used on a website do not make it an adaptive website. They are all tools and techniques that may be used toward engineering an adaptive website.

Rio Verde (São Paulo). The Rio Verde (Portuguese for "green river") is a river of São Paulo state in southeastern Brazil.

Course

The Rio Verde basin is in the Juréia-Itatins Ecological Station, in the municipality of Iguape, São Paulo.
The river rises in the Juréia Massif, which descends steeply to the Atlantic Ocean to the south east.
The Rio Verde has clear water fed by the waterfalls of Juréia.

Conservation

In the late 1970s the Department of the Environment planned to develop a "green" housing project on the banks of the Rio Verde.
The project was cancelled in the 1980s when the Empresa Nuclebrás Brasileira decided to build the Iguape 4 and Iguape 5 power plants in a  area that included the entire Serra da Juréia. By law, the area surrounding the nuclear power plant would have to be made an ecological station.
The power plant project was abandoned but the Juréia-Itatins Ecological Station was created on 20 January 1986, covering the Juréia Massif and the entire watershed of the Una do Prelado River.

Dowa Automobile Company. Dōwa Automotive Industries Co Ltd (traditional Chinese/Kyūjitai: 同和自動車工業株式會社; Shinjitai: 同和自動車工業株式会社;  Japanese Hepburn: Dōwa Jidōsha Kōgyō kabushiki kaisha) was a Manchukuo-based manufacturer of automobiles, trucks and armored cars. Its head office was in Mukden, the largest city of Manchukuo.

History
Founded on March 26, 1934, Dōwa Automotive was a joint venture of the South Manchurian Railway Company, the government of Manchukuo, and 7 Japanese companies. Following World War I, the Imperial Japanese Army saw the need for increased mechanization, and the Kwantung Army began to import foreign-built vehicles, including the Model 25 Vickers Crossley Armored Car. After the formation of the Empire of Manchukuo, the Kwantung Army's economic policy of self-sufficiency in major strategic heavy industry spurred the need for locally-built trucks and automobiles. Dōwa began with the assistance of Tōkyō Jidōsha Kogyo (the forerunner of Isuzu) to build vehicles from knock-down kits, as the infrastructure of sub-suppliers was gradually increased to permit more and more local content. Initial production was estimated at 5000 vehicles per year, many of which were copies of the Crossley design.

Dōwa Automotive was absorbed into the new , a state combine and subsidiary of the Manchurian Heavy Industries in 1940.

Heap feng shui. In computer security, heap feng shui (also known as heap grooming) is a technique used in exploits to facilitate arbitrary code execution. The technique attempts to manipulate the layout of the heap by making heap allocations of carefully selected sizes. It is named after feng shui, an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics that involves the selection of precise alignments in space.

Operation 

The term is general and can be used to describe a variety of techniques for bypassing heap protection strategies. The paper often credited with naming the technique, "Heap Feng Shui in JavaScript", used it to refer to an exploit in which a dangling pointer was aligned with a portion of an attacker-controlled chunk. However, it has also found usage in capture the flag events to describe attacks that exploit characteristics of heap layout, such as the spacing between chunks.

Fonseranes Water Slope. The Fonseranes Water Slope () is a disused inclined plane on the Canal du Midi parallel to the Fonseranes Lock.  It has a rise of  and a slope of 5°.

This technique for a water slope was described by the French engineer Jean Aubert in 1961.
It was designed to lift vessels of up to 350 tonnes displacement.

The slope, the second and last to be constructed in France, was built between 1980 and 1983 with the intent of augmenting the seven locks at the Fonseranes Locks, allowing larger boats to pass without extensive rework of the existing locks; these would continue to serve smaller boats. Trial operations commenced in May 1984. However, within weeks a number of technical problems emerged as oil leaking from the hydraulic system lubricated the concrete tracks and the wheels on the lift were unable to gain sufficient traction to raise the chamber to the top of the slope.  It took until 1986 to resolve the technical, contractual, and insurance issues.  This problem was never satisfactorily resolved and the slope was abandoned officially on 11 April 2001.

The first water slope in France was the Montech water slope on the Canal de Garonne in the commune of Montech.

Building Cost Information Service. The Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) provides cost and price data for the UK construction industry. Founded as part of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), it is now a standalone company.

History
BCIS was set up in 1961 to provide the profession with cost information in elemental format and to promote the use of elements and of elemental cost planning. The BCIS "Standard Form of Cost Analysis" (SFCA) remained an industry staple, largely unchanged, until the late 2000s. In 2012 the "New Rules of Measurement" for cost management throughout the construction process were accompanied by a modernised version of the SFCA.

In 2022, the BCIS was spun out of RICS.

The BCIS approach is the most popular costing method employed by quantity surveyors in the UK.

Randal A. Koene. Randal A. Koene is a Dutch neuroscientist and neuroengineer. He co-founded carboncopies.org, an organization dedicated to researching Substrate-Independent Minds (SIM). From 2008 to 2010, Koene served as the Director of the Department of Neuroengineering at the Fatronik-Tecnalia Institute in Spain. He holds a Ph.D. in Computational Neuroscience from McGill University and an M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in Information Theory from Delft University of Technology. 

Koene's academic career includes a tenure as a professor at Boston University Center for Memory and Brain and co-founding the Neural Engineering Corporation of Massachusetts. He also established MindUploading.org. He first proposed the term and specific approach called whole brain emulation, aimed at achieving mind transfer to a different substrate. 

In his professional research, Koene focuses on implementing whole brain emulation, which involves creating large-scale, high-resolution representations and emulations of neuronal circuitry activity. This work is essential for developing patient-specific neuroprostheses. Additionally, he contributed to the Oxford working group convened in 2007, which aimed at formulating the initial roadmap towards whole brain emulation.

Koene has professional expertise in computational neuroscience, psychology, information theory, electrical engineering and physics. He organizes neural engineering efforts to obtain and replicate functional and structural information from the neural substrate for use in neuroprostheses and neural interfaces. Using NETMORPH, his computational framework for simulating the morphological development of neuronal circuitry, Koene's lab is developing a Virtual Brain Laboratory. This laboratory aims to provide neuroscientists, neuroengineers, and clinicians with large-scale, high-resolution quantitative tools analogous to the computational tools essential in fields such as genetics, chemistry, and aerospace industry.

Rating plate. A rating plate on a machine carries information about its operational limits. The plate frequently contains the names of the machine and its manufacturer, so  the rating plate is often called a name plate (hence the term "nameplate capacity" for a generator), although many devices carry separate nameplates and rating plates.

For an electric machine, the power rating is the number on its rating plate and corresponds to a maximum electric load it can carry. There is a distinction between the continuous rating (for generators, continuous maximum rating or CMR), at which the machine can be operational without a time limit and short-term rating that can only be used for a specified amount of time.

Generators 
A typical electrical generator rating plate contains the following parameters:
 power rating is specified in terms of apparent power (KVA or MVA), since the exact power factor will be determined by the external factors;
 power factor (PF) is the nominal power factor for other ratings; usually PF = 0.8;
 insulation class (B, F, H) for the primary coil. Typical value is F, although older generators might use class B;
 type of enclosure (IP code);
 rated voltage can be either line to line ("line voltage") or phase to neutral ("phase voltage");
 rated current is derived from the rated power and voltage: ;
 line frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz) and rotational speed of the prime mover in RPM;
 connection (star or delta).

John L. Saksun. John L. Saksun (May 3, 1922  - November 1, 2016) was a Canadian-Czechoslovakian tool and die maker and precision machinist. He was born in Zalobin, Czechoslovakia. At age 16, shortly after the wartime occupation of Czechoslovakia in March 1938, Saksun left the country for Canada. He founded military and commercial aircraft manufacturer, The Queensway Machine Products Ltd, in 1952. He later founded golf club manufacturer, Accuform Golf in 1975.

The Queensway Machine Products Ltd

Saksun incorporated The Queensway Machine Products Ltd in 1952 after gaining standing delivering on tank radar and de Havilland Mosquito bomber manufacturing contracts in World War II. The company has since played a central role in Canadian history through its manufacturing of the 1976 Montreal Olympic Torch, involvement with the Alouette 1, involvement with the Avro Arrow, and provisions made for the Canadian Armed Forces during wartime. Queensway Machine has primarily acted as a subcontractor for Boeing, Bell Helicopter, Fleet Canada, de Havilland and McDonnell Douglas over its 70-year operating history.

Golf Industry

Saksun applied his manufacturing expertise to the golf world in the mid-1970s. He founded Accuform Golf in 1975, which designed and manufactured golf club heads. Saksun also invented the cylindrical-shaped bunker rakes found at most PGA Tour courses and around the world. At the company's peak, Davis Love III, Joey Sindelar, Gary Koch, Mike Donald, Dan Halldorson, Jerry Anderson, Jim Rutledge and Dick Zokol played Accuform clubs. The company was sold to former Labatt president Don MacDougall in the early 1990s.  In 1990, Saksun was utilized by the United States Golf Association (USGA) to help solve a controversy regarding the use of square, or U-grooves, in PING's immensely popular PING Eye2 irons. The United States Golf Association argued that players who used the Eye2 had an unfair advantage in imparting spin on the ball, which helps to stop the ball on putting greens. Saksun set up methods of measuring the unique grooves and determined that PING was in compliance with the rulings. However, after proposing a cost-effective solution to help PING change the design of subsequent Eye2s, PING subsequently withdrew its US$100 million lawsuit against the United States Golf Association.

Awards
Saksun won the Canadian Professional Golf Association (CPGA) Pro-Am Championship in 1979.
Saksun was one of one thousand nine hundred eighty-four Ontario residents who received the Ontario Bicentennial Medal in 1984.
Saksun was granted Honorary Membership to the Canadian Golf Tour in 2006.
