Collins Aerodyne. The Collins Aerodyne was an experimental VTOL-Aircraft, which was developed by the Collins Radio Company in the 1950s. Head engineer was Alexander Lippisch.

VTOL principle 
The Collins Aerodyne had a barrel-like fuselage with a ducted fan, similar to the Stipa-Caproni aircraft from the 1932, the "Flying Barrel". Different from the Stipa-Caproni, the Collins Aerodyne had no wings, but a vectored thrust lift system. The air exiting the fuselage's rear was supposed to be deflected downwards by movable outlet vanes, thus providing lift.

Propulsion 
The propellers inside the barrel-like fuselage were powered by two Lycoming 0435 engines.

Operation 
Only one prototype for wind tunnel testing was ever completed. The VTOL-Principle was not promising enough to justify further development. The prototype was not tested outside the wind tunnel. Later, Lippisch developed a similar prototype in Germany, the Dornier Aerodyne.

Ottoman torpedo boat Alpagot. Alpagot was one of the two s built in Italy for the Ottoman Navy in the early 20th century. The ship was launched on April 30, 1904 at the Ansaldo shipyard in Genoa, and was commissioned in June 1904. She took part in the Italo-Turkish War, during which she was sunk in Preveza on September 30, 1911.

Technical data 
The Akhisar-class torpedo boats had a hull made of steel, divided into nine watertight compartments. Their overall length was  ( between perpendiculars), their width was  and their draft was . They weighed . The boats were powered by two vertical three-cylinder triple-expansion steam engines with a total power of , to which steam was supplied by two boilers that came from locomotive engines (also made by Ansaldo). The maximum speed of the boats, which were propelled by two screws, was 24 knots The ships carried a reserve of 60 tons of coal.

Their artillery armament consisted of two single 37 mm quick-firing Hotchkiss guns. Torpedo weapons consisted of two 450 mm deck-mounted single rotatable torpedo launchers mounted behind and in front of the bridge.

The ship's crew consisted of 4 officers and 26 non-commissioned officers and sailors.

Construction 
The torpedo boats of the Akhisar-class were ordered by the Ottoman Empire from Italy in December 1902 and a contract was signed that month for the delivery of two vessels.

Alpagot was built at the Ansaldo shipyard in Genoa (shipyard number 132). The keel of the ship was laid in 1904, and was launched on 30 April 1904.

Operational history
Having joined the Ottoman Navy in June 1904, Alpagot took part in training in May 1909 as part of the reforming program of Admiral Douglas Gamble, commander of the British naval mission in Istanbul. During this training, the flagships ,  and  were positioned between Büyükada and Maltepe, while , ,  and her sister  guarded the passages between the Princes' Islands. The torpedo boats , Mosul, Kütahya, Alpagot, Hamidiye, Demirhisar and Sivrihisar sailed from Sivriada and joined the fleet, practicing torpedo attacks against larger ships. Representatives of the United Kingdom observed the exercise from the . Although the exercise was not in realistic combat conditions, it was the first naval exercise of the Ottoman Navy in twenty years. At the end of the exercise, all ships passed in front of the royal yacht Ertuğrul, which was waiting off Sarayburnu.

On 30 September 1911, during the Italo-Turkish War, Alpagot and the torpedo boat  were stationed in the port of Preveza when they were attacked by gunfire from the Italian destroyers Artigliere and . The two torpedo boats were unable to return fire before they were sunk.

F-18 Thunder Strike. F-18 Thunder Strike is a 2000 action game for the Game Boy Color developed by Morning Star Multimedia and published by Majesco Entertainment. The game is a simplified first-person combat flight simulator in which the player operates a F-18 Hornet for the United States Air Force, who have has confirmed reports of renewed hostile activity in the Balkans and order an aerial assault on the region.

Gameplay
 

The game is a combat flight simulator that places players in the cockpit of an F-18 Hornet. The interface includes control panels, a heads up display to target enemies and a radar and landing system. The game involves takeoff and landing, maneuvering, mid-air refueling, and dogfighting over a series of missions.

Development 
The game was originally developed as an adaptation of any of MicroProse's flight simulators, before it was adapted into an original title, which was originally released in 1999.

Reception

F-18 Thunder Strike received unanimously negative reviews, with criticism of the game focused on the poor controls and slow pace of the gameplay. Craig Harris of IGN said that "the problem with this game is the overall design", levelling criticism with the controls as "extremely simplified...the controls of your plane are flat-out wrong (and) actually causes some seriously stupid problems with the dogfighting that makes it near impossible to target your opponents properly". Writing for Hyper, Frank Day stated the game was "not a good idea", observing "the small screen and stiff digital controls" leads the player to "look for enemy planes for a long time before you see any action". Total Game Boy Color agreed, critiquing the "impersonal and slow" gameplay in which "nothing happens...you simply fly around for a while, shoot a plane or two if you're luck and then you turn it off".

Valentin Kargin. Valentin Alekseyevich Kargin (; 23 January 1907 – 21 October 1969) was a Soviet and Russian chemist who specialized in physical chemistry and established research in polymer chemistry in the Soviet Union. He considered polymerization as a phase transition.

Kargin was born Yekaterinoslav where his father Aleksei was a mining engineer. He went to school at Klin where the family moved. After graduation in 1922 he worked as a laboratory assistant and in 1924 he became an assistant at the Karpov Institute of Physical Chemistry. In 1925 he joined the Moscow State University and received a degree in 1930 and a doctorate in 1936. Kargin began to work on colloid chemistry, metal organosols and then began to work with macromolecules of cellulose with applications for the production of fibre. In 1940 he was involved in the production of photographic films. In 1943 he was awarded a Stalin Prize for his work in developing protective agents against chemical warfare for the army. He was also involved in the production of transparent organochemical polymers particularly for use in aircraft. After World War II he worked on polymerization reactions and the use of catalysts to produce polymers of various properties. These included polymers with fluorine that could withstand heat and other physical stresses. He also found polymers with semiconductor properties which were used for radar technology. He trained a number of chemists including V. A. Kabanov, N. A. Plate, V. P. Shibaev, N. F. Bakeev, A. B. Zezin, and A. L. Volynsky. He also began an encyclopedia of polymers. The Kargin Research Institute of Polymers was named in his honour in 1969.

Kargin died from a ruptured aorta and he was buried at the Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow.

Jean-Baptiste Masui. Jean-Baptiste Masui (1798–1860) was a civil engineer who became Director General of Railways, Posts and Telegraphs in Belgium.

Life
Masui was born in Brussels, which at the time was annexed to the First French Republic, on 17 January 1798. His parents were the joiner Michel-Joseph Masui and his wife Marie-Catherine Schoy. After studying at the French Imperial School of Manufactures, the young Masui was appointed engineer to the city of Brussels. His first responsibility was to oversee improvements to the navigability of the Willebroek Canal, after which he was appointed director of works on the canal.

On 29 October 1830, in the wake of the Belgian Revolution, the Provisional Government of Belgium appointed Masui engineer second-class of roads and bridges. In this capacity he worked on completing the Brussels–Charleroi Canal. He also worked on the dikes of the River Scheldt and on the canalisation of the Nete. On 22 November 1834 he became engineer first class, and on 10 June 1835 Barthélémy de Theux de Meylandt appointed him director of the polders on both sides of the Scheldt. On 14 December 1835 Masui was appointed to the administration of the Antwerp Maritime Academy. During a royal inspection of the polders, the king was impressed by how well those under Masui's direction worked together, and on 25 December 1837 he awarded him a knighthood in the Order of Leopold.

When Belgium's Ministry of Public Works was established on 13 January 1837, with Jean-Baptiste Nothomb as minister, Masui was the same day appointed secretary-general of the ministry. In September 1838 Masui became Director of the Administration of Railways, established three years after the first Belgian railway line had been opened. He oversaw the opening of the railway line from Ghent to Kortrijk on 22 September 1839, Landen to Sint-Truiden on 6 October 1839, Brussels to Tubize on 18 May 1840, Tubize to Soignies 31 October 1841, Soignies to Mons on 19 December 1841, and an inclined elevator at Ans (designed by Henri Maus) on 1 May 1842.

On 27 January 1850, Masui was appointed Director General of Railways and Posts. He became the honorary president of the Vrais Amis du Devoir Mutuel, a friendly society established in 1851 for employees of the ministry of public works. His final years were overshadowed by the premature loss of his wife and daughter. He died in Brussels on 11 December 1860. Thousands attended his funeral at the Church of Our Lady of Finisterrae in Brussels.

Honours and awards
Masui was a commander in the Order of Leopold I.

A white marble statue of Masui, carved by Charles-Auguste Fraikin and paid for by voluntary subscription, was unveiled at Brussels-North railway station on 1 May 1867.

A road, a square and a tram stop in Schaarbeek are named in memory of Masui.

Fast probability integration. Fast probability integration (FPI) is a method of determining the probability of a class of events, particularly a failure event, that is faster to execute than Monte Carlo analysis.  It is used where large numbers of time-variant variables contribute to the reliability of a system.  The method was proposed by Wen and Chen in 1987.

For a simple failure analysis with one stress variable, there will be a time-variant failure barrier, , beyond which the system will fail.  This simple case may have a deterministic solution, but for more complex systems, such as crack analysis of a large structure, there can be a very large number of variables, for instance, because of the large number of ways a crack can propagate.   In many cases, it is infeasible to produce a deterministic solution even when the individual variables are all individually deterministic.  In this case, one defines a probabilistic failure barrier surface, , over the vector space of the stress variables.

If failure barrier crossings are assumed to comply with the Poisson counting process an expression for maximum probable failure can be developed for each stress variable.  The overall probability of failure is obtained by averaging (that is, integrating) over the entire variable vector space.  FPI is a method of approximating this integral.  The input to FPI is a time-variant expression, but the output is time-invariant, allowing it to be solved by first-order reliability method (FORM) or second-order reliability method (SORM).

An FPI package is included as part of the core modules of the NASA-designed NESSUS software.  It was initially used to analyse risks and uncertainties concerning the Space Shuttle main engine, but is now used much more widely in a variety of industries.
