75/24 Pack Howitzer. The 75/24 Pack Howitzer (75/24 Indian Mountain Gun) is a towed howitzer developed in India and saw extensive use in the Indian Army.

Development
The circumstances leading to the defeat during the Sino-Indian War led to a lot of introspection. The difficulties faced in the deployment of artillery on the heights led to the army to develop a light mountain gun. This programme was led by Brigadier Gurdial Singh and it delivered quick results. 

By 1963, the first prototypes of the 75/24 mountain pack howitzer had been developed by the Armament Research & Development Establishment (ARDE) and other Ordnance Factories based on a Canadian design. The Solid State Physics Laboratory, Delhi was involved in the development of the VT fuze of the howitzer. This thus became the country’s first indigenously made artillery gun. The Gun Carriage Factory Jabalpur started manufacture of the guns in 1968.

Characteristics 
The gun is light weight and can be dis-assembled into multiple units and transported by mules in mountains as well as carried by helicopters. It weighs 983 kg and could fire up to a maximum range of 11,104 metres.

Operators

The gun entered service in the Indian Army in the late 1960s and saw extensive use in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. The last battle it saw action in was the Kargil War.

Demand Flexibility Service. The Demand Flexibility Service (DFS) is a demand response system in the United Kingdom that was launched in January 2023, and ran until March 2023. Operated by National Grid, the service allows electricity system operators in England, Scotland and Wales to access additional flexibility in the providing of power when demand is high, such as on winter days when outside temperatures are cold, and still air means less electricity is generated through wind power. The scheme was launched following the global energy crisis as energy prices experienced a sharp increase, and is designed to reward both domestic and some commercial customers with a smart meter by offering them discounts on their energy bills for using less energy at specific times. The scheme involves 26 of the UK's energy providers. Following a series of experiments during late 2022, the scheme's first national application occurred at 5pm on 23 January 2023, when customers were asked to use less energy for an hour. The scheme took place for a second time the following day. Media, including BBC News, reported that householders would be paid around £10 per time for saving electricity.

Betar Gallant. Betar Maurkah Gallant is an American engineer who is an associate professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her research investigates the development of new materials for batteries.

Early life and education 
Gallant grew up in a scientific family: her mother worked in urban planning and her father worked in engineering. While she was a teenager, Gallant's father died from an illness and she started to read his old physics textbooks. Gallant was an undergraduate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and took part in a Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program with Yang Shao-Horn. Together they explored electrochemistry. During 2009, Gallant joined the United States Department of Energy Energy Technology Program, where she led the Regaining our Energy Science and Engineering Edge initiative. RE-ENERGYSE was developed by the Obama White House to educate young Americans in clean energy research. Gallant completed her doctoral research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she developed carbon nanotube structures for lithium batteries supervised by Shao-Horn.

Research and career 
Gallant moved to California Institute of Technology, where she worked as a Kavli Nanoscience Fellow. She was appointed to the faculty at MIT in 2015. She initially investigated the incorporation of carbon dioxide into batteries as a strategy to mitigate greenhouse gases. This research led her to investigate the electrochemical reactions of carbon dioxide, and propose new strategies to simplify carbon capture. She pioneered the use of electrochemical strategies to separate carbon dioxide from amine, the sorbent molecule used in carbon capture and storage. She showed that by separating the carbon dioxide and the amine, it was possible to extend the reaction, eventually making a stable solid form of carbon dioxide that was easy to separate. Gallant has studied the mechanisms that underpin the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI).

Despite non-rechargeable batteries being critical in medical devices like pacemakers, so far, innovation in battery research has mainly considered rechargeable batteries. Gallant decided to address this research gap, developing long-lasting non-rechargeable batteries based on fluorinated electrolytes.

Enrique Seoane Ros. Enrique Buenaventura Juan Seoane Ros (Lima, January 12, 1915 – July 26, 1980) was a Peruvian modernist architect of the 20th century.

Early life
Seoane was born in Lima on January 12, 1915, to parents Buenaventura Guillermo Seoane García and Rosario Ros Gutiérrez. He studied at the Colegio de La Inmaculada and followed architecture courses at the National School of Engineers, predecessor of the National University of Engineering (UNI).

Career
He graduated as an engineer-architect in 1944 and was a professor at the Department of Architecture at the UNI and at the Federico Villarreal National University.

He was a supporter in favor of a modern style of architecture that would replace the old-fashioned French-style of Lima, and supported—but did not sign—a manifesto that was published in El Comercio and El Arquitecto Peruano in 1947 that supported this movement.

Cranelift. Cranelift (formerly known as Cretonne) is an optimizing compiler backend that converts a target-independent intermediate representation into executable machine code. It is written in Rust. The project started in 2016 and is currently developed by Bytecode Alliance. Unlike compiler backends such as LLVM that focus more on ahead-of-time compilation, Cranelift instead focuses on just-in-time compilation with short compile time being an explicit goal of the project.

As of 2023, Cranelift supports instruction set architectures such as x86-64, AArch64, RISC-V, and IBM z/Architecture.

History 
Prior to the backend framework rewrite in 2020, the project made use of only one intermediate representation (IR) across all compilation stages prior to machine code emission, namely CLIF (Cranelift IR Format). The old design made use of instruction legalizations, which involved transforming the high-level IR continuously until each CLIF instruction corresponded to an instruction of the target machine, at which point the executable code could be emitted.

In 2020, the backend was rewritten to use a separate, machine-specific IR called VCode for later compilation stages instead. After this rewrite, a high-level input CLIF would be optimized by a middle layer before being lowered into VCode, which would be further transformed by remaining passes in the backend. Peepmatic, a tool used to generate a peephole optimizer from a domain-specific language (DSL), was also added, though it was later removed.

In 2022, a new register allocator, which was adapted from the register allocator from IonMonkey, was added. In addition, the backend framework was reworked to utilize ISLE (Instruction Selection/Lowering Expressions DSL), another DSL in the project that was made to ease the development of the instruction selection stage in backends.

The mid-end saw addition of optimization passes that make use of e-graphs in 2022. The optimization passes are enabled by default starting in 2023.

Applications 

Currently, Cranelift is being utilized by multiple WebAssembly runtimes, such as  and , with performance comparable to LLVM-based runtimes.

An alternative code generator for the Rust compiler that is powered by Cranelift also exists.

Calle canal. A calle canal or vía canal is a street type in northern Peru and Ecuador located in the urban area of cities expressly designed to function exceptionally and for short periods (i.e. few hours) as canals to evacuate water and mud from intense and infrequent rains.

This type of solution, used in the northern Peruvian cities of Piura, Catacaos, Los Órganos and Sullana, from the period of reconstruction of the damaged infrastructures during the El Niño phenomenon of the years 1997–1998, can be used whenever, due to the topographic conditions, as long as a free flow of rain outside of the city via a slope is guaranteed. Otherwise, water can accumulate and pool in certain parts.

In Sullana, the Canal Vía is a known street of this type. Mismanagement of the canal led to flooding of several parts and the establishment of unlicensed businesses set up by street merchants.
