Émile Hugot. Charles Paul Émile Hugot (1904–1993), known as Émile Hugot was a sugar technologist, manager of sugar factories and he wrote the standard text on engineering in sugar factories.

Early life and education 

Hugot was born in Saint-Denis, Réunion in 1904 and died in the same city in 1993. Emile Hugot pursued his secondary education at the Leconte de Lisle High School (Collège Bourbon) and later at the Lycée Saint-Louis in Paris. He continued his studies at the Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures in Paris in 1923, after gaining his engineering degree he did military service, training as a cadet officer at the artillery school in Poitiers, he became a lieutenant in the artillery in Blida, Algeria.

He returned to civilian life as a trainee chemist at the sugar factories on the French mainland at Artres and Bucy-le-Long before returning to Réunion in May 1928.

Working life on Réunion 

On Réunion he was engineer-surveyor to the Hydro-Electric Company of Reunion (SHER) from 1928 to 1929. At that time sugar factories were in need of energy, and so his objective was to capture the energy in the Rivière des Marsouins to produce 36,000 kWh.

He briefly joined his father's business offices, after which he became CEO of the Sugar Company Adam de Villiers (at La Mare) in 1932 and the Eperon Agricultural and Industrial Company (Société Agricole et Industrielle de l'Eperon).

Military service 

At the outbreak of World War II Hugot was mobilized as the artillery battery commander at Pointe des Galets fighting on the side of Vichy France. He was wounded in the Battle of Réunion and was transferred to England. In London, he was assigned to the General Staff of the Free French Forces and participated in the Alsace campaign before being sent to the front of the Alps.  He was promoted to Captain on 25 September and discharged on 28 September 1945.

Return to sugar 

He returned to Réunion to devote himself to the sugar industry.  He restructured the sugar industry of Réunion by amalgamating estates and factories of La Mare, Savanna and Grand Bois and the sugar estates of Convenance and Eperon and founded the Société des Sucreries de Bourbon, which has become the Bourbon (group).  He became the CEO of Bourbon Sugar from its inception in 1948 and he remained in that position until 1979. He amalgamated the factory and the estates of Stella in 1952. He was the founder of the Savanna Distillery.

Hugot is known throughout the world for his magisterial work on cane sugar engineering.

He had six children with Mary Noëmie Renée Jeanne Reydellet.

Commemoration 

A school in Réunion has been named after him.

Cyclohexene oxide. Cyclohexene oxide is a cycloaliphatic epoxide. It can react in cationic polymerization to poly(cyclohexene oxide). As cyclohexene is monovalent, poly(cyclohexene oxide) is a thermoplastic.

Production 
Cyclohexene oxide is produced in epoxidation reaction from cyclohexene. The epoxidation can take place either in a homogeneous reaction by peracids or heterogeneous catalysis (e.g. silver and molecular oxygen).

In industrial production the heterogeneously catalyzed synthesis is preferred because of better atom economy, a simpler separation of the product and easier recycling of catalyst. A short overview and an investigation of the oxidation of cyclohexene by hydrogen peroxide is given in the literature. In recent times the catalytic oxidation of cyclohexene by (immobilized) metalloporphyrin complexes has been found to be an efficient way.

In laboratory, cyclohexene oxide can also be prepared by reacting cyclohexene with magnesium monoperoxyphthalate (MMPP) in a mixture of isopropanol and water as solvent at room temperature.

With this method, good yields up to 85 % can be reached.

Properties and reactions 
Cyclohexene oxide has been studied extensively by analytical methods. Cyclohexene oxide can be polymerized in solution, catalyzed by a solid acid catalyst.

Siegfried Wolff. Siegfried Wolff is a now-retired Degussa chemist noted for first recognizing the potential of using silica in tire treads to reduce rolling resistance.

Education

Siegfried Wolff was born in Germany.

Career

Wolff started his career at Degussa in 1953 as a student apprentice, later moving into research and development of carbon black.

In the 1960s Wolff investigated the mechanisms of rubber reinforcement by fillers. He introduced new parameters for characterizing furnace black and silica, enabling improved quantification of the contribution of filler structure and surface area to rubber properties.

In addition, Wolff studied vulcanization systems using organosilanes and triazine-based chemicals.

Wolff originated the development of all-silica tire tread compounds. He first disclosed this use of silica to achieve low rolling resistance in papers presented in 1984 at the Tire Society meeting in Akron, Ohio.

Eventually, Wolff rose to the head of the department of applied research for fillers and rubber chemicals.

He retired in 1992.

John Howard (civil engineer). Sir John Alfred Golding Howard (17 November 1901 – 2 January 1986) was a British civil engineer, described by The Daily Telegraph as "one of the last great construction pioneers" who "will long be remembered in the industry as a visionary for whom no engineering challenge was too much".

Biography

Born in Sydney, Australia, on 17 November 1901, John Howard was educated at Bedford School. In 1927 he founded John Howard and Co. Ltd., Civil Engineering Contractors. He remained chairman and managing director of the company until 1982, when he became president. His company was responsible for construction of the Severn Bridge, the Humber Bridge, the Forth Road Bridge, Kingsferry Bridge and the Channel Tunnel, and Howard was a great advocate for a third London airport to be constructed in the Thames Estuary.

Howard became active in Conservative Party politics and was appointed Chairman of the National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations in 1962, presiding over the Conservative Party Conference at Llandudno in that year. In October 1984, he attended the Conservative Party Conference at Brighton, and was only two rooms away from Norman Tebbit when the Brighton hotel bombing occurred, emerging unscathed.

Sir John Howard was knighted in 1954, Chairman of the Harpur Trust between 1966 and 1978, and became Deputy Lieutenant of Bedfordshire in 1978. He died in Kempston, Bedfordshire, on 2 January 1986, at the age of 84.

Biscuit (pottery). Biscuit (also known as bisque) refers to any pottery that has been fired in a kiln without a ceramic glaze. This can be a final product such as biscuit porcelain or unglazed earthenware (such as terracotta) or, most commonly, an intermediate stage in a glazed final product.

Confusingly, "biscuit" may also be used as a term for pottery at a stage in its manufacture where it has not yet been fired or glazed, but has been dried so that it is no longer plastic (easily deformed).

The porous nature of (fired) biscuit earthenware means that it readily absorbs water, while vitreous wares such as porcelain, bone china and most stoneware are non-porous even without glazing. The temperature of biscuit firing is today usually at least 1000°C, although higher temperatures are common. The firing of the ware that results in the biscuit article causes permanent chemical and physical changes to occur. These result in a much harder and more resilient article which can still be porous, and this can ease the application of glazes.

In situations where two firings are used, the first firing is called the biscuit firing, and the second firing is called the glost firing, or glaze firing if the glaze is fired at that stage.

De Drie Waaien, Afferden. De Drie Waaien () is a tower mill in Afferden, Gelderland, Netherlands which was built in 1869 and is in working order. The mill is listed as a Rijksmonument.

History
The first mill on the site was a post mill that was built between 1832 and 1850. It was blown down in a storm in 1868. De Drie Waaien was built in 1869. In 1932, the sails were fitted with the Dekker system on their leading edges. It was the first mill in Gelderland with this feature. The nill was restored in 1965. New sails were fitted that were constructed to the traditional Dutch design. A further restoration was undertaken in 1996. The mill is owned by the Gemeente Druten. It is listed as a Rijksmonument, No. 14155.

Description

De Drie Waaien is what the Dutch describe as a "Ronde stellingmolen". It is a five-storey tower mill,  tall. The stage is  above ground level. The cap is thatched. The mill is winded by tailpole and winch. The sails are Common sails. They have a span of . The sails are carried on a cast-iron windshaft. The windshaft also carries the brake wheel which has 51 teeth. This drives the lantern pinion wallower (21 staves) at  the top of the wooden upright shaft. At the bottom of the upright shaft is the wooden great spur wheel, which has 56 cogs. The great spur wheel drives a pair of  Cullen millstones and a pair of  French Burr millstones via lantern pinion stone nuts which have 20 staves each.

Public access
De Drie Waaien is open to the public by appointment.
