Structure field map. Structure field maps (SFMs) or structure maps are visualizations of the relationship between ionic radii and crystal structures for representing classes of materials. The SFM and its extensions has found broad applications in geochemistry, mineralogy, chemical synthesis of materials, and nowadays in materials informatics.

History 
The intuitive concept of the SFMs led to different versions of the visualization method established in different domains of materials science.

Structure field map was first introduced in 1954 by MacKenzie L. Keith and Rustum Roy to classify structural prototypes for the oxide perovskites of the chemical formula ABO3. It was later popularized by a compiled handbook written by Olaf Muller and Rustum Roy, published in 1974 that included many more known materials.

Examples 
A structure field map is typically two-dimensional, although higher dimensional versions are feasible. The axes in an SFM are the ionic sequences. For example, in oxide perovskites ABO3, where A and B represent two metallic cations, the two axes are ionic radii of the A-site and B-site cations. SFMs are constructed according to the oxidation states of the constituent cations. For perovskites of the type ABO3, three ways of cation pairings exist: A3+B3+O3, A2+B4+O3, and A1+B5+O3, therefore, three different SFMs exist for each pairs of cation oxidation states.

Roads in Botswana. Botswana has a network of roads, of varied quality and capacity, totaling about . Of these,  are paved. This includes  of motorways. The remaining  worth of roads are unpaved. Road distances are shown in kilometers and Botswana speed limits are indicated in kilometers per hour (kph) or by the use of the national speed limit (NSL) symbol. Some vehicle categories have various lower maximum limits enforced by speed limits, for example trucks.

Classification

Administration 

Responsibility for the road network differs between trunk and non-trunk routes. Trunk roads, which are the most important roads, are administered by the Ministry of Transport. The classifications of A and B roads are independent of their width and quality. Some B roads are wide enough to accommodate bidirectional traffic, while others are narrower with various passing locations. B roads follow the same numbering scheme as A roads, but almost always have 3- and 4- digit designation.

A roads 
A roads are highways and other major roads.

B roads 
B roads are distributor roads, which see less traffic than A roads.

Motorways 

Motorways in Botswana have a set of restrictions, which prohibit certain traffic from using the road. The following classes of traffic are not allowed on Botswana motorways:

 Learner drivers
 Slow vehicles (i.e., not capable of reaching 60km/h on a level road).
 Invalid carriages (lightweight three-wheeled vehicles)
 Pedestrians
 Pedal-cycles (bicycles, etc.)
 Vehicles under 50cc (e.g., mopeds)
 Tractors
 Animals

Rules for driving on motorways include the following:

 The keep-left rule applies unless overtaking
 No stopping at any time
 No reversing
 No hitchhiking
 Only vehicles that travel faster than 80km/h may use the outside lane
 No driving on the hard-shoulder

The general motorway speed limit is 120km/h.

Signage 

Signage on the Botswana network conforms broadly to Southern Africa norms, though a number of signs omit Southern Africa route numbers. All length distances are shown in kilometers, speed is in kilometers per hour whilst height and width restrictions are required to be shown in feet and inches (though the metric measurements may optionally also appear).

Traditionally, road signs in Botswana used blue backgrounds rather than the yellow, white, or orange that the rest of the world uses on traffic warning signs. In the early 2010s, officials announced plans to begin phasing out the distinctive blue signs in favor of more typical signs in order to be more in line with the neighboring Southern African Development Community member states.

Eco Grand Prix. EcoGP, officially the Eco Grand Prix,  is a European 24-hour car race for electric cars.

History
The green series was conceived in 2013 by the world record holder Rafael de Mestre, holding several world records in driving with electric cars like the fastest circumnavigation (2016) or the longest trip in a production EV (2024). In 2018, the world's first 24-hour race for electric cars started in the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben in Germany.  

The 24-hour race is won by the car that covers the greatest distance in 24 hours. The role model for the series was the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Drivers in the cup included Jutta Kleinschmidt, Volker Strycek, Michel von Tell and Rafael de Mestre.

2018 it was the first 24-hour race in which electric production cars like Tesla Model S, Hyundai Ioniq, BMW i3, Renault ZOE, Volkswagen e-Golf and others took part. Thirty cars and 98 drivers took part in the first 24-hour electric car race. In 2019 forty electric cars started in Oschersleben, an unbroken world record until today. 

In the later years EVs from Porsche, Opel, Kia and Jaguar joined the competition. Prototypes can join the ecoGP in a separate category.

Among the racing tracks Transilvania Motor Ring, Nürburgring, Hungaroring and Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi there have been are also street courses in Zell am See, Schauinsland, Rund um Schotten and the famous Circuit des Platanes in the city center of Perpignan.

From 2013 until 2023 in total 982 drivers started at 28 ecoGP competitions all around the world.

The series has been a member of DMSB (German Motor Sport Federation) since 2020.

Kymco People. The Kymco People is a two-wheeled scooter from the Taiwanese manufacturer Kymco.

History
Designed by Massimo Zaniboni, director of Italian style centre Arkema Studio, the People was Kymco's first compact scooter with "high wheels" intended primarily for the European market competing with Aprilia Scarabeo, Piaggio Liberty, Malaguti Ciak and Honda SH.

It was presented at the Munich Intermot in 1998 and from the first months of 1999 it was put on sale in the main European markets.
It is equipped with three engines: a two-stroke with 50 cm3 of displacement or a four-stroke engine of 125 cm3 and 150 cm3. The cooling system is air-forced and has an electric start and kick starter. The colors available are: black, silver, anthracite, blue, gray, orange and red.

In 2008, the “Anniversary” version was presented to celebrate the ten years of the model.

In 2012 Kymco presented the successor, the People One, but the old People will remain in production until 2017 as it continued to enjoy good commercial success especially in Europe.

Kymco People 250 

Presented in prototype form at the Munich show in 2001 and subsequently at the EICMA show, the People 250 went into production in the early months of 2002 and positioned itself as the top model of the People range. Characterized by a specific "vintage" design, it has a specific chassis and frame to support the new engine.

The frame is made of steel tubes and has a fork with 37 mm diameter stems with an excursion of 115 mm, at the rear there is a pair of adjustable shock absorbers in spring preload and 105 mm excursion, the tires are 110/70 front and 140/70 rear with 16” 5-spoke wheels.

The engine is a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 251 cm3 four-stroke engine that delivers 19.6 hp at 7250 rpm and 19.6 Nm of maximum torque at 6500 rpm. It is approved Euro 2.

In the spring of 2004 a slight restyling was presented which brought with it a new grille with chromed slats, a new saddle with better padding, the radiator air vents were redesigned and now adjustable and the set-up was improved by adopting new steering bearings and a different calibration. fork.

The 250 went out of production in 2008.

Kymco People range
Over the years the People range has been enriched with numerous models: in addition to the People base, in 2005 the People S was presented, a more refined and expensive scooter.

In 2012 the People One went into production, direct heir to the People base launched in 1998. The People One is the cheapest model of the range.

In 2010, the People GT was launched, a more expensive top-of-the-range model positioned higher than the People S.

Photon-Induced Near-field Electron Microscopy. Photon-Induced Near-field Electron Microscopy (PINEM) is a variant of the Ultrafast Transmission Electron Microscopy technique and is based on the inelastic coupling between electrons and photons in presence of a surface or a nanostructure. This method allows one to investigate time-varying nanoscale electromagnetic fields in an electron microscope.

For visible light, such inelastic coupling between electrons and light, i.e. direct absorption or emission of photons, is forbidden in free space (vacuum) since it is not possible to simultaneously conserve both energy and momentum. This constraint can be circumvented when photon momentum is broadened as a result of light being reflected or scattered from a surface or nanostructure. This process would then generate evanescently confined near-fields with a broad momentum distribution, reaching high intensities in a nanoconfined space and thus also boosting the cross section of electron-light coupling.

Theoretically, the analytical description of the phenomenon has been provided by Park et al., Garcia de Abajo et al. and Feist et al. In these works the authors demonstrated that the strength of electron-light interaction depends on the linear coupling to the electric field projection along the electron propagation direction. In particular, Feist et al. also experimentally demonstrated that the interaction process results in a coherent spectral redistribution of the electron wave packet producing Rabi oscillations of a multi-level quantum ladder in which the states are separated by the photon energy.

Particularly appealing for photonics application is the fact that the spectral, spatial and momentum distributions of the electrons subjected to such inelastic scattering process are strictly correlated with the near-field distribution mediating the electron-light coupling. The latter can be thus mapped in space and time with ultrafast electron microscopy methods, providing femtosecond movies of nanoscale fields in and around nanostructures.

More interestingly, the PINEM method can also be used to dynamically manipulate the wave properties of the electron beam by using suitably prepared electromagnetic field configuration. In such a way, one can modulate coherently the amplitude and phase of the electron beam along both the longitudinal and the transverse directions.
