CSS Bienville. CSS Bienville was a light draft steamer "substantially built" of yellow pine and white oak under contract by John Hughes and Co., at Bayou St. John, La., in 1861-62. Collaborating and inspecting for the Government in the Hughes yard was S. D. Porter, Acting Constructor, CSN. She was launched in February 1862 and delivered on 5 April. Her commanding officer was Lt. C. B. Poindexter, CSN. On 21 April 1862, as the battle of New Orleans impended, Bienville was still without a crew, consequently her officers were obliged to destroy her in Lake Pontchartrain to prevent capture.

Hexenuronic acid. Hexenuronic acid (HexA) is an organic compound with the formula C13H20O10. It is an unsaturated sugar produced during the kraft process in the creation of wood pulp.

Kraft process 
During the kraft process, which is the turning of wood into wood pulp for papermaking, wood chips are treated with sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide. Sodium hydroxide catalyzes the demethylation of 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronoxylan, which is found at the ends of the polysaccharide xylan.

Hexenuronic acid decreases a wood's kappa number, which is a measure of bleachability of wood pulp, by 3-7. It readily reacts with common wood pulp bleaching agents like ozone, peracetic acid, and chlorine dioxide. Consequently, research has focused on ways to break down hexenuronic acid prior to bleaching to decrease dangerous waste products and costs.

The main method of destroying hexenuronic acid is to treat the wood pulp post kraft processing with strong acids at high temperatures. HexA is hydrolyzed and broken down into aldehydes and alcohols like 2-furoic acid and 5-carboxy-2-furaldehdye. This process has led to a 50% reduction in bleaching costs of the wood pulp in some cases.

In microbes 
Polysaccharide lyases (PL) are a type of enzyme that is found in numerous microorganisms including bacteriophages that break down parts of wood. PL catalyzses β-elimination of uronic acid-containing polysaccharides into HexA.

Magnetic slime robot. A magnetic slime robot is a self-healing soft robot made up of polyvinyl alcohol, borax and neodymium magnet particles. It was co-created by professor Li Zhang of Chinese University of Hong Kong. It is a non-Newtonian fluid that behaves like a liquid or solid depending on force, having "visco-elastic properties". The robot is developed by and could be deployed inside the human body to perform tasks such as retrieving objects out of it. Contrary to its name, it currently does not have a robot in it, and is only controlled by magnets. It can reach speeds of 30 millimeters per second.

Properties 
Magnetic slime robot is in the form of a blob of slime. It is said to be able to make C and O shapes with its body, and these robots could navigate passages as small as 1.5 millimeters. Its self-healing properties make it able to connect with other separate parts of itself to make a whole. It is made of neodymium magnet particles, which make the slime magnetic, and allow the slime to stretch when being attracted to metal.

Hypothetical uses 
It is believed that this kind of magnetic robot could extract unhealthy objects ingested by humans, and possibly traverse out of the body with the ingested object with it, and scientists state that the slime is capable of “transporting harmful things”. The robot could be used to be deployed into the human body to retrieve objects that were possibly accidentally ingested. Zhang states that the slime can prevent toxic electrolytes from leaking out by performing encapsulation, and create a kind of coating around the object that is leaking. It can go inside of a child's body.

Despite the possible health benefits this "robot" can provide, it is currently toxic to ingest for humans, and will leak out toxic neodymium particles into the body. Researchers coated the slime robot in silicon dioxide to make a protective layer in the belief that it will prevent the slime from having neodymium leak into human insides. Zhang states that the safety of the slime being in the human body is dependent on the time it stays inside.

Electrical 
The magnetic slime robot is shown and told to be able to conduct electricity, and to pull wires together. Scientists state that the robotic slime is capable of “circuit switching and repair,”.

Ljupčo Kocarev. Ljupčo Kocarev (Macedonian: Љупчо Коцарев, ; born in Skopje,  SFR Yugoslavia, now North Macedonia on 25 February 1955) is a Macedonian scientist, academic and professor of physics and electrical engineering and the President of the national Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

Curriculum vitae 
He completed his primary, secondary and higher education (Faculty of Electrical Engineering) in his hometown Skopje in Northern Macedonia. He holds a master's degree from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade and a doctorate from the Institute of Physics of the Faculty of Science in Skopje.

In 2006, he was elected a member of the IEEE. He was elected an associate member of the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts on May 27, 2003, and a full member on May 1, 2007. As of January 1, 2020, he was elected President of national Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

Scientific contribution 
The scientific field of activity and contribution of Ljupčo Kocarev includes several fields physics and technical sciences, from nonlinear physics, complex systems and networks (electrical circuits and systems) to information theory, cryptography, machine learning and data processing. In the period from 1986 to date, he has published more than 140 publications in international journals and more than 150 publications in proceedings of peer-reviewed papers from international conferences. He was the editor of six books and the author of six patents granted in the United States and Europe.

Rewards 
He is the winner of the National Macedonian award for life's work "October of 11th".

Political activity 
After promotion into President of MANU, Kocarev became politically active. He refused an order from the Prime minister Zoran Zaev to Academy to change the name of that institution in accordance with the Prespa agreement. In number of his articles he advocated termination of the Prespa Agreement and the Friendship treaty with Bulgaria concluded in 2017, as well, claiming their illegality. With respect to this views, Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts did not change its official name and that represented a first flagrant violation of the Prespa agreement.

Army Nomenclature System. The Army Nomenclature System is a nomenclature system used by the US Army for giving type designations to its materiel. It is based on MIL-STD-1464A which was released in 1981 and most recently revised on February 22, 2021.

Usage 
The Army Nomenclature System is designed to help accurately reference specific items which may have similar names to other items of their category.  It applies to:
 Weapons
 Ammunition
 Vehicles
 Explosives
 System components
 Other equipment associated with handling/storage/management of the above

It is not utilized if one of the following nomenclature systems can  designate the item:
 MIL-STD-196:  Joint Electronics Type Designation System
 MIL-STD-1812:  Aeronautical and Support Equipment Type Designation System
 AFR 82-1/AR 70-50/NAVMATINST 8800.4A:  Joint Regulation Designating and Naming Military Aerospace Vehicles (concerning United States military aircraft designation systems)
 MIL-STD-1661 Mark and Mod Nomenclature System (used by US Navy)

Application 
The complete nomenclature consists of an Approved Item Name (AIN), an extended modifier (if applicable), and the type designation. The AIN is presented in all capital letters, is not abbreviated, and is followed by a colon. Each AIN has a corresponding 6-digit Item Name Code (INC) which can be referenced in the H6 Cataloging Handbook. The extended modifier is in lower case and may contain abbreviations (which are capitalized). The type designation does not use any spaces or hyphens (so "M-16" and "M 16" are incorrect). An example given is "PROJECTILE, 105 MILLIMETER: HE, rocket assisted, M547A3".  The Approved Item Name is "PROJECTILE, 105 MILLIMETER"; the extended modifier(s) "HE, rocket assisted", and the type designation is "M547A3".

The type designation may not be unique to that specific item and, thus, may not accurately identify an item if the Approved Item Name and Extended Modifier are not included. For example, the type designation M1 is used in the M1 Carbine as well as the M1 Abrams tank, however, the former is specified as "CARBINE, CALIBER .30, M1" while the latter is specified as "TANK, COMBAT, FULL TRACKED: 105-MM Gun, M1".

The type designation is rendered as a prefix letter(s) followed by a number, possibly followed by a letter-number suffix to denote various versions.
