Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron 3 (United States Navy). Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron 3 (VQ-3), nicknamed the Ironmen, is a naval aviation squadron of the United States Navy based at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma (United States). The squadron flies the Boeing E-6B Mercury airborne command post and communications relay aircraft. It is part of the Navy's TACAMO community, whose mission is to enable the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense to directly communicate with U.S. submarines, bombers, and missile silos during a nuclear war.

Operations
VQ-3 has a complement of 78 officers and 454 enlisted personnel. Since 1992, it has operated under Navy Strategic Communications Wing 1 at Tinker Air Force Base. It deploys aircraft to fly operational patrols out of Travis Air Force Base, California.

History

The squadron began on 23 December 1963 as a detachment of Fleet Tactical Support Squadron 21 (VR-21) at Naval Air Station Barbers Point, Hawaii. It operated a specialized version of the Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft, the EC-130G. In early 1966, it moved to NAS Agana, Guam, becoming part of Airborne Early Warning Squadron 1 (VW-1). On 1 July 1968, the TACAMO detachment became Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron 3 (VQ-3). The EC-130G was replaced by the EC-130Q in 1969 and 1970. VQ-3 returned to Barbers Point in 1980.  The squadron transitioned from the EC-130Q to the Boeing E-6A Mercury in 1989-90, and relocated to Tinker Air Force Base in 1992.

The TACAMO Community Veterans Association organization has a museum and history kiosk at Kalaeloa Airport, on the site of the former NAS Barbers Point. It was dedicated 6 September 2016, with former members of VQ-3, VQ-4, and VQ-7 in attendance, chronicling the history of VQ-3.

InStove. InStove (Institutional Stove Solutions) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2012.

History

Engineer Damon Ogle and carpenter Fred Colgan, working with Aprovecho Research Center, developed a highly efficient solid-fuel cookstove for use in institutional settings in 2008. Ogle and Colgan's prototype for InStove's 60 liter capacity cookstove was a rocket stove, powered by internal combustion and 87% more efficient than traditional three stone fires.

In July 2012, Colgan founded Institutional Stove Solutions (InStove) as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. InStove developed the 60 Liter Stove, and in 2013 the 100 Liter Stove, to address climate change, emissions, and deforestation issues. InStove is a partner of the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves. As of July, 2015, InStove's institutional cookstoves have the highest published test scores in the world against the International Standards Organization's International Workshop Agreement on clean cookstoves.

60 and 100 liter stoves
The "rocket stove" design concentrates heat and mixes combustion gasses to create operating temperatures in excess of 1100 degrees Celsius, which allows the stoves to literally "burn up the smoke." This produces a fire that is cleaner and more efficient than is possible otherwise. The sunk-in pot with heat-retaining skirt design allows food to cook more quickly, reducing cooking time by 20-50%.

Each stove placed can offset the carbon footprint of 2.7 American households each year and can save up to 88 tons of firewood annually.

The 60 Liter InStove uses 2 kilograms of fuel every two hours at peak temperature and boils 30 liters of water in 30 minutes; the 100 Liter InStove boils 50 liters of water in 30 minutes.

Stove placements
As of June 2014, InStove has distributed over 1,000 stoves in 27 countries around the world. These include Sudan, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Kenya in conjunction with the United Nations, as well as Nigeria., Senegal, and 10 other sub-Saharan countries. A 60 Liter stove was also placed as a part of Opportunity Village, a transitional housing community in Eugene, Oregon as an effort to feed residents and reduce expensive propane costs.

In 2014, InStove opened "InStove Manufacturing Limited" as a benefit corporation to sell stoves to domestic clients such as El Sancho, a Mexican Restaurant in Bend, Oregon which uses a 100-liter stove to sustainably cook large amounts of food.

Allied technologies
InStove has paired their 60 Liter InStove with a medical grade autoclave manufactured by the Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry (WAFCO).  The unit is designed to serve as either a backup for urban health centers or as a primary system for rural clinics without access to electricity, providing sanitation of medical instruments as well as waste to reduce vectors of disease.

Huggins equation. The Huggins Equation is an empirical equation used to relate the reduced viscosity of a dilute polymer solution to the concentration of the polymer in solution. It is named after Maurice L. Huggins. The Huggins equation states:

Where   is the specific viscosity of a solution at a given concentration of a polymer in solution,  is the intrinsic viscosity of the solution,  is the Huggins coefficient, and  is the concentration of the polymer in solution. In isolation,  is the specific viscosity of a solution at a given concentration.

The Huggins equation is valid when  is much smaller than 1, indicating that it is a dilute solution.  The Huggins coefficient used in this equation is an indicator of the strength of a solvent. The coefficient typically ranges from about  (for strong solvents) to  (for poor solvents).

The Huggins equation is a useful tool because it can be used to determine the intrinsic viscosity, , from experimental data by plotting versus the concentration of the solution, .

Accélérateur Grand Louvre d'analyse élémentaire. Accélérateur Grand Louvre d'analyse élémentaire (AGLAE) is a particle accelerator housed by the Center for Research and Restoration of Museums of France in the Louvre museum in Paris, France. It is used to study artworks by characterizing even trace elements composing them, and is the only particle accelerator solely dedicated to the study of cultural heritage.

Details
AGLAE is a Pelletron 2MeV electrostatic accelerator built by an American company, the National Electrostatics Corporation, and has two sources: 
 a Duoplasmatron+ source that can produce hydrogen ions (protons), and
 an Alpha source that can produce Helium ions (two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium nucleus). This produces protons with an energy up to 4 MeV and alphas up to 6 MeV.

AGLAE was installed starting in 1987 and inaugurated in 1989. AGLAE is sited some 15m below the glass pyramid at the Louvre.

Use
AGLAE generates protons and Alpha particles that are emitted outside the accelerator itself, enabling items of virtually any size or type to be examined. The particles, and their collision products, are detected to analyse the composition of the cultural items in the path of the particle beams. The techniques used at AGLAE include particle-induced X-ray and gamma-ray emission spectrometries.

The data is used to determine the atomic constituents of the cultural items, including trace elements.

Detectors
AGLAE implements derived methods of analysis with two ion beams: 
 particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE)
 Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS)
 analysis by nuclear reactions (NRA), a variant is called GAUGE (gamma-induced charged particle emission)
 elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA)
 a spectrometer to record the ionoluminescence on the extracted beam line (IBIL)

Upgrade
AGLAE particle analysis techniques are limited in that they are not very effective for studying paintings because of a slight risk of damage. An upgrade (NEW AGLAE, using an ANR-10-EQPX-22) in progress in 2015 aims to produce a lower-power beam that will allow more sensitive detectors to overcome this issue, and allow 24-hour operation of the facility.
