12 Hours of Brno. In October 1950 a 12-hour race combined for SportsCars and Saloon Cars was held at the Brno circuit.

The race organizers created an interesting and unique mathematical formula (the so-called power output indicator) to equalize the potential of all cars. The formula was based on a predetermined average speed that differed for cars with various engine capacity, and the corresponding distance expected to be covered by each car over the 12-hour period. The actual distance traveled by a car was then divided by this expected distance to arrive at a quotient, and the results were based on the values of this quotient. Consequently, even cars with the smallest engine size could win the race if they reached sufficient distance, while anybody failing to complete the expected distance was not classified at all. The calculation was further complicated by a provision that any lap completed below the projected average speed was not counted toward the total traveled distance.

Consequently, the overall winner was Treybal with saloon Bristol, who reached a quotient of 1.268 while travelling 1121.158 km (4th longest distance). The pair Pavelka/Zd. Sojka with Tatraplán Sport covered the longest distance of 1192.933 km but their quotient of 1.098 was good for only 14th place in final classification. The race was seen as a great success, yet initial plans to hold a 24-hour race in the following year and thus establish an endurance racing tradition in Brno were eventually abandoned.

24H Series
In 2015 the 24H Series returned to the Brno circuit for a 12-hour race, called the 12H Epilog Brno. It was the last race of the season.

Herman Fialkov. Herman Fialkov  (23 March 1922 – 21 February 2012) was an American entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and philanthropist. He is best known for co-founding the General Transistor Corp. in 1954, a technology company that became a pioneer of microchips. He graduated from New York University Tandon School of Engineering, formerly known as the Polytechnic Institute of New York University.

Life and career
He was born on 23 March 1922 in Brooklyn, New York the son of two Jewish immigrants, Pearl (née Heinish) and Isidore Fialkov.  Growing up on welfare during the Great Depression, he delivered milk before school to earn money for the family.

He served in the U.S. Army during World War II, earning the Bronze Star Medal with two Oak leaf clusters during the Battle of the Bulge.  Thanks to the G.I. Bill he was able to earn a bachelor's degree in administrative engineering from the Polytechnic University of New York in 1951.  He worked at Emerson Radio from 1946–1947, Mutual Broadcasting System from 1947-1949 and the Radio Receptor Company from 1949 - 1954.

In 1954 he co-founded General Transistor Corporation, a technology company that became a pioneer of microchips.  When General Transistor merged with General Instrument Corp. in 1960, Fialkov convinced General Instrument's leadership to venture into cable television, purchasing Jerrold Electronics – a company that ultimately evolved into Comcast.

In 1968, Fialkov founded his own venture capital firm, Geiger and Fialkov and also set up several others, including Aleph Null and Polyventures. He served as a partner in the Jericho-based venture capital firm Newlight Associates until 2004.  In his more than 40 years in venture capital, Fialkov provided investments that helped finance the startup or early development of many international tech companies including Intel, Teledyne and Long Island-based Envision, Standard Microsystems and Globecomm Systems.

In 1999, global accounting firm Ernst & Young honored Fialkov with a lifetime achievement award for entrepreneurship. In 2004, the Long Island Capital Alliance named an annual award after him.

In 1942, he married the former Elaine Dampf (died 1998). They had two children, Carol and Jay.

OpenRemote. OpenRemote is an open source Internet of Things platform that can be used for professional automation of large fleets of devices. It's specifically popular with equipment manufacturers and system integrators. The platform integrates many different protocols, and offers visualization. OpenRemote Inc. was originally created by the Marc Fleury, founder of JBoss, to enable the sponsorship of the OpenRemote project. OpenRemote follows the same open source methodology, licensing under the Affero General Public License version 3. The company has since moved away from smart home automation and now develops a more genetic IoT platform.

Platform 

Manager 3.0 was created to handle larger multi-tenant applications. It includes a generic asset and attribute structure, allowing users to build their own asset types and adding their own protocols, and using generic protocols such as HTTP and Bluetooth, or older protocols such as KNX or BACnet. A rules engine allows for several ways of programming logic. A UI component library offers front end developers a quick way to build project specific frontend applications, using popular web frameworks like Angular or React. By utilizing multiple instances in an Edge Gateway mode on architectures like ARM64, multiple projects can be connected to, and synchronised with, a centrally hosted instance.

Reception 

OpenRemote has been adopted by cities and property developers, which apply the tools to distributed energy management systems and smart cities. As well as earlier recognition by the MIT Technology Review, they were also recognised by the Dutch Ministry of Security & Justice.

Nanovirus. Nanovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Nanoviridae. Legume plants serve as natural hosts. There are 11 species in this genus. Diseases associated with this genus include: stunting, severe necrosis and early plant death.

Taxonomy
The following 11 species are assigned to the genus:

Black medic leaf roll virus
Cow vetch latent virus
Faba bean necrotic stunt virus
Faba bean necrotic yellows virus
Faba bean yellow leaf virus
Milk vetch dwarf virus
Parsley severe stunt associated virus
Pea necrotic yellow dwarf virus
Pea yellow stunt virus
Sophora yellow stunt virus
Subterranean clover stunt virus

Structure and genome

Virions in the genus Nanovirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral and round geometries, and T=1 symmetry. The diameter is around 18-19 nm. 

The genome is multipartite, and the genome components (6 or 8, depending on the genus) are circular, around 1kb in length, essentially carry only one gene, and are individually encapsidated forming small icosahedral virions (18–20 nm).

Life cycle
Viral replication is nuclear. Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the ssDNA rolling circle model. DNA-templated transcription is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by nuclear pore export, and tubule-guided viral movement.
Legume plants serve as the natural host. The virus is transmitted via a vector (the virus does not replicate in this). Transmission routes are vector.

Radiosynthesis. Radiosynthesis is a  fully automated synthesis method in which radioactive compounds are produced. Radiosynthesis is generally carried out by several nuclear interface modules, which are protected by the lead shielding and controlled by a computer semi-automatically. The set-ups of  modules are different depending on the type of product and synthesis process. Consequently, the modules should be adapted with the synthesis stages. In some cases, such stages of synthesis  are carried out manually in order to optimize the radiochemical yield or due to the incompatibility or lack of module.

Module
Radiosynthesis modules consist of following constant components:
Reservoir: To store reactants
Pipe : To link all components together
Valve : To manage the flow of liquids
Reactor : To proceed the reaction(s)
Temperature and Radioactivity sensor : To adjust and measure the temperature and radioactivity
Preparative HPLC : To purify the Product
There are also some components which are added based on the synthesis set-up such as stirrers, sterile filters, Sep-Paks™, vials, bottles, detectors etc..

Before every synthesis, the modules should be washed. It should also be mentioned that according to Half-life of radionuclides, a relaxation time is needed between the syntheses in each module. Fig.1 shows the schematic of a sample module.

Radiosynthesis modules are often combined with a cyclotron or other radio nuclide generator.

Swedish Operations Research Association. The Swedish Operations Research Association (SOAF; in Swedish: Svenska Operationsanalysföreningen) is a professional non-profit association for the promotion and dissemination of the scientific field of operations research in Sweden. SOAF was founded in 1959 with the dual purpose of promoting the development within the different branches of operations research, and work for its application within different problem domains. The association is a member of the European umbrella organization, the Association of European Operational Research Societies (EURO), and of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS).

History 

SOAF was inaugurated in early 1959, inspired by the First International Conference on Operations Research in Oxford, England in 1957, where Sweden had 17 participants, ranking fourth among the participating nations. SOAF joined IFORS in 1960, and was one of the founding members of EURO in 1975. It hosted the second EURO conference in Stockholm in 1976.

Governance 

The society is managed by a board consisting of up to eight members. The board should always have a President, a Vice President, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and an Editor. The board is elected by the members at the annual meeting for a period of one year.

Membership 

SOAF offers membership to both organizations and individuals. Currently (2018), the society has 22 organizations and 19 individuals as members. Ten of the member organizations are companies, eight are academic institutes, and four are governmental authorities. The majority of the organizations are active in the domain of transportation and logistics, but other areas such as, e.g., maintenance, health care and military defense, are represented as well.

Publications 

Together with the Danish Operations Research Society, SOAF publishes the ORbit magazine twice a year.

Conferences 

SOAF organizes a bi-annual national conference in operations research. In 2013, the conference was organized in co-operation with the Danish OR Society and the Norwegian OR Society as the joint conference SOAK (Svenska OperationsanalysKonferensen in Swedish) and NOS6 (The 6th Nordic Optimization Symposium) at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. The conference attracted approximately 80 participants.

1965 Hong Kong US Marines KC-130F Crash. A United States Marines Corps (USMC) Lockheed KC-130F Hercules, ferrying a group of US marines back to South Vietnam from rest-and-relaxation leave in then-British Hong Kong, crashed on take-off, causing a total of 59 deaths out of all 71 (both the flight-crew and the passengers) on board the aircraft on August 24, 1965.

The accident
The accident began after the aircraft, a USMC Lockheed KC-130F Hercules (Bu.No.149802), veered left shortly after take-off, struck a sea-wall and then crashed and plunged into the waters surrounding Kai Tak Airport's runway at a distance of  off Hong Kong Island.

Cause
The cause of the accident regarding the aircraft's crash was attributed to a partial failure of the No.1 engine during the plane's take-off from the runway.
