Christopher Ober. Christopher Kemper Ober (born November 1, 1954) is an American/Canadian materials scientist and engineer. He is the Francis Norwood Bard Professor of Materials Engineering at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, Cornell University and was until July 2023 the Director of the Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility. Presently he is on leave from Cornell and serving as a rotator at the National Science Foundation (NSF) where he is a program director of the DMR Polymers program. Among other positions at Cornell, he has served as Interim Dean of Engineering (January 2009-July 2010) and Director of the Department of Materials Science & Engineering in the Cornell University College of Engineering (January 2000-December 2003). Prior to joining Cornell University, he was a researcher at the Xerox Research Centre of Canada.

Ober was awarded a B.Sc. degree in 1978 by the University of Waterloo (Waterloo, Ontario, Canada), with a major in Honors Chemistry (Co-Operative Program). He received his M.S. (1980) and Ph.D. (1982) degrees in Polymer Science & Engineering from the University of Massachusetts (Amherst).

Ober was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2023. In 2024 he was elected to the Canadian Academy of Engineering. He is an Elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a Fellow of the American Chemical Society, a Senior Member of SPIE and was from 2018-2021 an Elected Member of the Executive Committee of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. He serves on the editorial boards of Polymer Bulletin, Polymers for Advanced Technologies, and Green Materials. From 1995 to 2010 he was an associate editor of Macromolecules. He has directed more than 50 Cornell Ph.D. dissertations, worked with over 50 post-doctoral associates, has co-authored or co-edited eight books or reports, has co-authored more than 600 refereed articles, and shares more than 40 patents.

Ober's research interests center on the synthesis, processing, and characterization of functional polymers with tailored nano- and molecular architectures for targeted properties. Detailed evaluation of polymer behavior for the design of superior macromolecular materials includes synchrotron-based characterization. Synthetic tools include living polymerization methods such as anionic, ATRP and living radical polymerization. Of special interest are systems that undergo "bottom-up" self-organization/assembly, including liquid crystalline polymers and block copolymers as well as "top down" lithographic materials. Environmentally and biologically friendly materials are now a major focus of research.

King Salman Global Maritime Industries Complex. The King Salman Global Maritime Industries Complex is a shipyard in Ras Al-Khair, Saudi Arabia that is under construction and planned to open in late 2018.  Upon completion, it will be the largest shipyard in the world.
Development of the facility began in November 2015, when Saudi Arabian oil and gas company Saudi Aramco and South Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) regarding development of marine industry in Saudi Arabia, including a large shipyard.  In January 2016, it was announced that the partnership to construct the shipyard had expanded with the signing of an MoU between the National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia, Maritime Offshore Limited (a Lamprell subsidiary), Saudi Aramco, and HHI.  The consortium subsequently signed a joint development agreement in June to undertake feasibility analysis of the shipyard, which had by then been confirmed to be sited in Ras Al-Khair.

Royal HaskoningDHV and Hyundai Engineering & Construction were awarded a design contract for the facility in October 2016, and the ceremonial groundbreaking took place on 29 November 2016, although the first major construction contract, for dredging on site preparation, was not signed until May 2017. In November 2017, Saudi Aramco awarded China Power Construction Group a $3 billion contract to build the shipyard facilities. Total construction costs are estimated to be about US$4.3 billion. The complex is scheduled to open in stages from late 2018 through 2022, when it will reach full capacity.  When complete, the facility is estimated to increase the gross domestic product of Saudi Arabia by $17 billion, while decreasing the country's imports by $12 billion and supporting 80,000 jobs nationally.

The facility will be about  in area, with several dry docks and at least 15 separate piers. It will have four major areas of operation—shipbuilding, ship repair, oil rig construction, and oil rig support.  In July 2017, Hyundai Heavy Industries signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop with Saudi Aramco and investment company Dussur a $400 million factory to build medium speed marine diesel engines at the complex. In January 2018, the anchor facility at the complex, a shipyard named International Maritime Industries, was incorporated with orders for at least 20 oil rigs and 50 ships.

Vickers Crossley armoured car. The Vickers Crossley armoured car a/k/a the Model 25 Vickers Crossley armoured car, was a British-made military vehicle used by the British Army in India and exported to different countries, including Japan.

History and design
The Model 25 armoured car was a British designed and manufactured military vehicle, which the British Army used in India. The Model 25 was also exported. The Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) saw a need for increased mechanization, and the Kwantung Army began to import foreign-built vehicles, including the Model 25. The Kwantung Army used them during the Mukden Incident (Manchurian Incident), which was a staged event engineered by Japanese military personnel as a pretext for the Japanese invasion in 1931 of northeastern China, known as Manchuria. The Manchukuo Imperial Army that was established by Imperial Japan in Manchuria, later received some Model 25s for use.

The Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) imported the Model 25 during the early 1930s for use in China. The Model 25 was used specially by the Special Naval Landing Forces during the hostilities between Japanese military and the Chinese 19th Route Army in what became known as the January 28 incident or Shanghai Incident in 1932. The armoured cars were imported to strengthen the Japanese forces in and around the urban city and port area.

The Argentine Regiment of Mounted Grenadiers received 6 Vickers-Crossley Model 26 armoured cars in 1928. Derived from the British Indian Army cars, they had 2 axles instead of 3. They saw action during the 1930 Argentine coup d'état and some are later used by the Argentine Federal Police.

The vehicle used riveted and welded armor with a thickness of 6 mm. It had a hemispherical turret, which mounted twin 7.7 mm water-cooled Vickers machine guns with a domed cupola. The engine produced 50 hp giving the vehicle a top speed of 65 to 70 km/h.

Strontium perchlorate. Strontium perchlorate is a white powder or colorless crystals with the formula Sr(ClO4)2.

It is a strong oxidizer which gives red flames. It can be used in pyrotechnics; however, usually the more common strontium nitrate is used.  It is also used in Liquid Injection Thrust Vector Control (LITVC) in solid-propellant rockets to enable steering control with a simple fixed nozzle.

It can be prepared by oxidizing strontium chlorate with hypochlorites.

Strontium perchlorate forms a crystal structure in the orthorhombic space group Pbca which is comparable to that of calcium perchlorate.
