SIGCSE Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education. The Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE) Technical Symposium is the main ACM conference for computer science educators. It has been held annually in February or March in the United States since 1970, with the exception of 2020 when it was cancelled due to COVID-19. In 2019, there were 1,809 attendees and 994 total submissions from over 50 countries, with a total of 2,668 unique authors representing over 800 institutions and organizations. There were 526 paper submissions (up 15% on 2018), with 169 papers accepted across the three paper tracks (CS Education Research, Experience Reports & Tools, and Curricula Initiatives) which was up 5% over 2018. It is a CORE A Conference.

SIGCSE members often refer to the Symposium as "SIGCSE" (pronounced SIG-see), as in "Are you going to SIGCSE this year?" or "I attended her talk at last year's SIGCSE". Thus, while "SIGCSE" refers to the ACM Special Interest Group (SIG) that is SIGCSE, it also refers to the SIGCSE Technical Symposium.

Association for Iron and Steel Technology. The Association for Iron and Steel Technology (AIST) is a non-profit professional organization focused on promoting the international iron and steel industry through networking and education. The AIST has over 17,500 members in over 70 countries, though the majority of its members are from North America, reflecting its historical link to the American Steel industry.   The AIST was formed from a merger from two older organizations, the Association of Iron and Steel Engineers and the Iron and Steel Society in 2004. AIST is a member organization of the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME). The head office of the organization is in Warrendale, Pennsylvania.  From these offices is published the monthly Iron and Steel Technology magazine. The Association also runs an international conference each year called AISTech. AIST also offers training courses and local events organized by its various member chapters and technical committees.

Technology Divisions 

The AIST has a number of active Divisions reflecting the diversity of technological interests in the steel industry, these are:
Safety and Environment
Cokemaking and Ironmaking
Steelmaking
Refining and Casting
Rolling and Processing
Metallurgy
Energy and Control
Plant Services and Reliability
Materials Movement and Transportation

These divisions are served by a number of committees that organize sessions at the AISTech conference and oversee training and education activities relating to these areas of knowledge. Two sub-committees exist, namely „Digitalization“ and „Decarbonization“, which act as interconnecting committees as they demand a liaison in each committee to coordinate efforts in their respective field of expertise.

Greenhouse gas emissions 
Climate Trace estimates half-owned Cenal coal-fired power plant emitted over 7 million tons of the country’s total 730 million tons of greenhouse gas in 2022. So it is on the Urgewald Global Coal Exit List.

The company says that "Emissions at the [aluminium] production units in Seydişehir are already 50% lower than European Union standards", however it still runs a small coal-fired power station at that factory.

Best Available Retrofit Technology. Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) is a pollution control standard in the United States Clean Air Act.

Overview 
A BART review is required by sections 169A and 169B of the Clean Air Act for pollution sources which might cause haze in a "Federal Class 1 area". An example of such a source is the Navajo Generating Station in Page, Arizona which could affect visibility in Grand Canyon National Park. BART provisions were included in the "Clean Air Visibility Rule," published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1999, and amended in 2005.

Determining best available retrofit technology 
The Clean Air Act defines Best available retrofit technology:... in determining best available retrofit technology the State (or the Administrator in determining emission limitations which reflect such technology) shall take into consideration the costs of compliance, the energy and nonair quality environmental impacts of compliance, any existing pollution control technology in use at the source, the remaining useful life of the source, and the degree of improvement in visibility which may reasonably be anticipated to result from the use of such technology;

Navajo Generating Station
A BART review may take into account the interests of stakeholders associated with the source. In the case of Navajo Generating Station, EPA solicited input from stakeholders: the Department of the Interior, the Central Arizona Project, the Navajo Nation, the Gila River Indian Community, the Salt River Project, the Environmental Defense Fund, and Western Resources Advocates. A technical working group negotiated a "Reasonable Progress Alternative to BART" which was submitted by the Department of the Interior to the EPA on July 26, 2013 for consideration in development of a final rule. (The plant ceased commercial power generation in 2019.)

American Trucking Ass'ns, Inc. v. City of Los Angeles. American Trucking Ass'ns, Inc. v. City of Los Angeles, 569 U.S. 641 (2013), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that certain regulations imposed by City of Los Angeles on trucking companies were preempted by federal law. In 2006 the Board of Harbor Commissioners for Los Angeles, California adopted an environmental protection plan that included an effort called Clean Truck Program (CTP). The stated goal of the program is to "reduce negative impacts that port [trucking] inflicts on the local community." The implementation of this program began in 2007 and required trucking companies to comply with various requirements relating to maintenance of trucks, employment of drivers, and trucking operations. The American Trucking Associations believed some of the regulations were in violation of the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act of 1994 (FAAAA) and filed suit. Litigation eventually made its way up to the Supreme Court of the United States, where the Court held that two of the requirements of the CTP were in violation of the FAAAA.

Subisu employs over 1500 full-time employees, of which around 900 are technical and around 700 are non-technical. As of 2023, the company has over 235,000 customers. It has coverage in all 77 districts of Nepal. Subisu primarily provides cable and fiber internet and digital TV services through a hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFCC) network.

Infrastructure
Optical fiber cable (OFC) is used by Subisu to transmit TV channels and fiber connectivity. Its HFC network uses coaxial cable laid with MPLS (Multi-Label Protocol Switching) and a redundant metropolitan access network. The network's headend is in Baluwatar, Kathmandu, and spreads across major locations in the valley.

Technology
Data over Cable Service Interface Specifications (aka DOCSIS) 3.0 is standard technology certified by Cable labs. The DOCSIS 3.0 (Annex B) standard provides 42 Mbit/s per channel (theoretically) and 37 Mpbs (practically) downstream per channel. Downstream can bond up to eight channels, which increases the downstream throughput up to (37 × 8) and 27 Mbit/s upstream bandwidth per channel. This is the standard cable modem protocol established by MCNS for bi-directional transfer of Internet Protocol (IP) traffic over cable. Subisu uses Metropolitan Access Network (MAN) technology for its optical fiber cable services.

LVG G.III. The LVG G.III was a large, twin engine triplane bomber built in Germany near the end of World War I. Only one was completed.

Design and development
The LVG G.III is sometimes known as the Schütte-Lanz G.V or Schütte-Lanz Schül G.V as it was a Schütte-Lanz design but built by LVG. It was a triplane, the only one of its kind designated G or twin engined by the Idflieg. Only one example of this very large aircraft was built.

It was a three bay triplane, the bays separated by parallel pairs of interplane struts.  The fabric covered wings were unswept and had constant chord and blunt tips.  The spans decreased a little from top to bottom plane, so the outer interplane struts leaned outwards; there was little stagger.  There were externally connected ailerons on each plane.  The  Maybach Mb.IV six cylinder inline engines were mounted in the inner bay on the central plane, neatly and fully cowled.

The fuselage of the G.III was round in section and smoothly covered in plywood. There was an open gunner's position in the blunt extreme nose.  It had a biplane tail, with the lower tailplane attached to the underside of the fuselage and the upper one raised a little above it. Twin fins and rudders were positioned between the two tailplanes, near to their tips.  it had a wide track, conventional, fixed undercarriage with double mainwheels and a tailskid mounted below the fuselage on a small extension.

The G.III first appeared just before the war's end.
