Hermann Kessler. Hermann Kessler ( ; 12 April 1860 – 23 November 1927) was a Liechtensteiner-German engineer and entrepreneur.

Early life 
Kessler was born on 12 April 1860 in Vaduz to the son of Landtag of Liechtenstein member and district judge Markus Kessler and his mother Anna Amalie Menzinger as one of six children. 

He attended high school in Feldkirch and then studied natural sciences, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering in Zurich and Stuttgart.

Career 
After completing his studies, he worked at Fein in Stuttgart and from 1883 he worked at Siemens & Halske in Berlin. The company sent Kessler to Tokyo in 1887 as an electrical engineer, there he built up Siemens' East Asia and Japanese business and as general representative of the subsidiary "Siemens & Halske, Japan Agency" which was founded in 1893. This was involved in building the first hydroelectric power plant in Japan, .

He returned to Germany in 1908, where he continued to manage the company's business in Japan from Berlin. In this position he was complicate in the Siemens scandal, where it was revealed that the company has previously given a 1000 (~142,000 today) pound sterling bribe to the Imperial Japanese Navy in return for a wireless contract. As a result, Kessler faced a public accusation from the German Reichstag by Karl Liebknecht, but was not charged. His influence over Japanese business waned after Japan's entry into World War I against Germany.

Kessler died on 23 November 1927, aged 67 years old.

Personal life 
Kessler married Emma Holzboog (18 March 18 1860 – 30 May 1893) and then Hedwig Henle (27 July 1866 – 5 November 1934). He had six children.

After his return to Germany in 1908, Kessler visited his home-country of Liechtenstein every year. In 1906 he had a holiday home built in the country. He frequently commented on politics within the country and acted as a charitable donor in Liechtenstein.

Preload control. Amount of the no-load tension in the bolted joint (preload) greatly affects the reliability of the joint. Multiple techniques exist for preload control to ensure that the tension in the bolt is close to the one specified in the design (some bolt-to-bolt statistical variations are inevitable):
 torque-controlled tightening is a simple and most popular approach: the fastener is tightened  until the torque limit is reached. While for many applications checking just the torque (so called torque control, typically enforced via the use of using a torque wrench or a torque screwdriver, is sufficient, it effectively involves "statistical gambling", where a proper installation of a particular fastener cannot be ascertained. A major part of the torque is due to friction, so the differences in friction can cause large variations of the preload with the same torque setting;
 angle-controlled tightening (also known as turn-of-the-nut method) is a technique where the bolt joint is rotated to some angle that ensures the stress beyond the yield limit of the parts. While the method produces a repeatable preload, the thread might fail after multiple re-tightenings and finding the proper angle requires experimentation;
 torque-angle tightening (also known as torque-angle tension control) is a method of securing the bolted joint when the initial tension is critical for reliability and safety. The technique relies on simultaneous monitoring of both the torque applied during the tightening as well as the angle of rotation, usually using a torque/angle wrench. The basic process of torque-angle control is simple: apply torque to the fastener until a preset limit is reached, then finish the installation by rotating the part by an additional angle. The modern torque/angle wrenches collect a "signature" of the tightening process (history of torque moments and corresponding rotation angles); the resulting moment vs. angle curve (also known as M-alpha curve) should be checked against the assembly process limits established at the engineering phase.
 yield-controlled tightening;
 bolt-strecth method utilizes a hydraulic ram that stretches the bolt by pulling on the threaded section of the bolt that protrudes through the nut. Nut is rotated into position with very small torque applied. Once the external stretching force is removed, the preload is established;
 heat tightening is based on stretching the bolt by heating it. Once the bolt is expanded, the nut is secured using the turn-of-the-nut method. Upon cooling, a desired preload is achieved as the bolt contracts. This slow and exotic method is used when the bolts are very large;
 tension-indicating methods use specially designed bolts and nuts that have built-in features indicating the tension (for example, bumps that are flattened when the preload reaches the calculated value).

Atmospheric Waves Experiment. The Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) is a NASA instrument to be mounted on the exterior of the International Space Station (ISS) for the study of atmospheric gravity waves (not to be confused with astrophysical gravitational waves). 

AWE was built by the Utah State University Space Dynamics Laboratory, and the mission is led by Michael Taylor of Utah State University.  NASA selected AWE as an Explorers Program Mission of Opportunity in February 2019. The SpaceX CRS-29 spacecraft carrying AWE was successfully launched on 10 November 2023. Once at the ISS, AWE will be extracted from the trunk section of the Cargo Dragon by the Dextre robotic arm and attached to one of the station's Express Payload Adapter (ExPA), ELC-1 Site 3. After two years of observation at the ISS, AWE will be removed from the station and jettisoned to space, where it will be disposed of by reentering Earth's atmosphere to burn up.

Mission
In Earth's atmosphere, differences in air density cause atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs). These AGWS are notable for traveling upward through the atmosphere carrying energy, eventually reaching space where they are hypothesized to affect the plasma environment surrounding Earth or space weather. Space weather is known for causing interference in satellite and communication signals, including GPS navigation. Thus, an understanding of AGWs and how they interact with space weather may contribute to improving the forecast of radio interference.

When AGWs are in the realm of the atmosphere called the mesopause, they produce light, a phenomenon known as airglow. AWE will observe this airglow in infrared, with its location at the ISS allowing global coverage.

Instrument
AWE will be NASA's first instrument dedicated to heliophysics on the ISS. The AWE mission's hardware is the Advanced Mesospheric Temperature Mapper (AMTM), which consists of four identical radiometer telescopes assembly. Each telescope has an InGaAs detector array on its focal plane.

Taiwan Railways Administration R200. The R200 are a series of diesel-electric locomotives built by Stadler Rail for use by the Taiwan Railways Administration, starting in 2023.

History

In 2015, the Taiwan Railways proposed an overall vehicle purchase and replacement plan (spanning from 2015-2024) and proposed the purchase of 102 locomotives, of which 34 were diesel-electric locomotives. After the electrification of the railway system around the island in 2020, passenger trains on the operating routes will rarely use diesel locomotives for traction, and service will be adjusted to use diesels exclusively for freight, emergency rescue, national defense and military needs.

The 165 million euro contract for the locomotives was signed in October 2019; the locomotives are the first major order for Swiss company Stadler from the Pacific region. They are to be built at the firm’s plant in Valencia, Spain. The first two locomotives in the series, numbered R201 and R202, were previewed at Changhua Locomotive Depot in July 2023, expected to be put into revenue service at the end of 2023.

Technical Details
The locomotives are designed to work in tropical and subtropical climates, in environments of up to 100% humidity and temperatures of 45 degrees Celsius. They are equipped with a five-stage environmentally friendly diesel engine and have the ability to immediately report problems to their base of operations, allowing maintenance personnel to be dispatched for repairs. The locomotives are also equipped with a forward-looking Doppler radar speedometer, a connector observation camera, and multiple protective devices for the cab, all of which make operations safer for locomotive crews. The manufacturer notes they are designed to run in “demanding mountainous topography – similar to that of Switzerland – and in extreme climatic conditions. Stadler is very familiar with adapting rail vehicles to such specific challenges”.

Hashrate. The proof-of-work distributed computing schemes, including Bitcoin, frequently use cryptographic hashes as a proof-of-work algorithm. Hashrate is a measure of the total computational power of all participating nodes expressed in units of hash calculations per second. The hash/second units are small, so usually multiples are used, for large networks the preferred unit is terahash (1 trillion hashes), for example, in 2023 the Bitcoin hashrate was about 300,000,000 terahashes per second (that is 300 exahashes or  hash calculations every second).

Impact on network security 
A higher hashrate signifies a stronger and more secure blockchain network. Increased computational power dedicated to mining operations acts as a defense mechanism, making it more challenging for malicious entities to disrupt network operations. It serves as a barrier against potential attacks, particularly the significant concern of a 51% attack.

Mining difficulty 
Mining difficulty, intrinsically connected to hashrate, indicates the challenge miners face in producing a hash lower than the target hash. It is purposefully designed to adjust periodically, ensuring a consistent addition of blocks to the blockchain.

Hashrate and miner participation 
An increase in the miner count results in higher hashrate. This surge is often driven by the attractiveness of potential returns due to the escalated demand for cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.
