DMDEE. DMDEE is an acronym for dimorpholinodiethyl ether but is almost always referred to as DMDEE (pronounced dumdee) in the polyurethane industry. It is an organic chemical, specifically a nitrogen-oxygen heterocycle with tertiary amine functionality. It is a catalyst used mainly to produce polyurethane foam. It has the CAS number 6425-39-4 and is TSCA and REACH registered and on EINECS with the number 229-194-7. The IUPAC name is 4-[2-(2-morpholin-4-ylethoxy)ethyl]morpholine and the chemical formula C12H24N2O3.

Use as a polyurethane catalyst
DMDEE tends to be used in one-component rather than 2-component polyurethane systems. Its use has been investigated in polyurethanes for controlled drug release and also adhesives for medical applications. Its use as a catalyst including the kinetics and thermodynamics have been studied and reported on extensively. It is a popular catalyst along with DABCO.

Toxicity
The material has been in use for some time and so the toxicity is generally well understood. However, some sources say toxicity data is limited and work continues to acquire the necessary data and publish to ensure it is in the public domain.

The Bridge (Warsaw). The Bridge is a 40-storey skyscraper under construction in the Wola district of Warsaw, Poland. Designed by Amsterdam-based UNStudio, the  tower is due to be completed in 2025 as Poland's tenth tallest building.

Overview
The project by Belgian real estate developer Ghelamco is taking place at Plac Europejski (European Square), standing at the intersection of Towarowa and Grzybowska streets. The skyscraper is situated in the immediate area of the Warsaw Spire complex, which was also developed by Ghelamco.

The architectural concept of the building was designed by the Dutch UNStudio in cooperation with the Polish-Belgian firm Projekt Polsko-Belgijska Pracownia Architektury.

The Bridge's name comes from its special connection to the neighbouring Bellona Building, which formerly housed the headquarters of the Bellona Publishing House. The buildings will be connected by a shared lobby, creating a symbolic "bridge" between the architecture of the old building and that of the new tower.

Facilities
The Bridge's 40 stories will offer  of office space. Its four underground floors will feature 287 parking spaces and bicycle facilities. The building will include chargers for electric cars and a special parking lot with charging spots for electric bicycles and scooters.

A characteristic element of the lower level of the tower is its three-storey high lobby with a set of  long concrete columns forming a letter "V".

On the skyscraper's 40th floor will be located an open sky terrace for the exclusive use of tenants.

Construction

The project's final concept was unveiled in January 2021. Construction began in July 2021 with works on the underground structure of the building. In October 2022, the foundation work and parking facilities of the tower were completed.

In late December 2022, the development of the core and above-ground floors began. By May 2023, when the building reached its eighth floor, developer Ghelamco announced that the skyscraper had been gaining one floor per week. Work on the glass facade of the tower started in September 2023. The Bridge was topped out in February 2024.

Impatient Optimist (sculpture). Impatient Optimist is a sculpture by Janet Echelman, installed in Seattle, Washington.

Description and history 
Installed in 2015, Impatient Optimist was commissioned by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for their global campus in downtown Seattle that opened in 2011. The aerial net sculpture is 120 feet long, 80 feet wide, and 40 feet deep.

The piece is designed to represent the importance of individuals and connect all of the regional campuses of the foundation across the globe. The structure of the piece is inspired by what Echelman and her team were able to visually represent as "the shape of a day". By taking pictures of the Seattle sky every five minutes for a full 24 hour period, the Studio analyzed the color data of the picture sequence and graphed it radially. This is their shape of a Seattle day. Utilizing pre-programmed lighting sequences, at night, the sculpture echoes the sunrise in each of the foundation's global offices in real time.

The work was recognized at the ACEC 2016 Engineering Excellence Awards.

MARTA Archaeology Project. The MARTA Archaeology Project, later revived as the Phoenix Project, was an archaeological excavation initiative funded by the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) before the construction of Atlanta's rapid transit system in the 1970s. MARTA contracted Georgia State University (GSU) to conduct the excavations.

History
MARTA originally contracted GSU in 1974 for small-scale surveying of sections of the proposed rail lines. This partnership expanded in subsequent years with more substantial contracts signed in 1975, 1976, 1977, and 1979 for in-depth excavation. The project eventually encompassed both MARTA lines completely. Dr. Roy S. Dickens Jr. took the lead on the project. He and his students identified a total of 30 sites across the city and excavated an estimated 100,000 artifacts. 47% of the sites were discovered through on-site construction monitoring, 25% through historical documents, 19% through surface inspection, and the rest through testing and metal detection..

At the end of the project, MARTA made an indefinite loan of the materials to GSU.

Dr. Dickens moved to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1982  with the entire MARTA collection, but there was little interest in continuing research on the materials there. Dickens passed away in 1986. He had no successor to continue his research.

The collection was stored at the Georgia Museum of Natural History from 2000 until its reacquisition to Georgia State University.

Phoenix Project
From 2011-2013, Dr. Jeffrey Glover facilitated the return of the MARTA collection to Georgia State University. The revival of the project was named the Phoenix Project for Atlanta's association with the phoenix (mythology) and for the "resurrection" of a forgotten archeological collection.

Glover now uses the collection as a teaching resource for students and it has been the subject of two master's theses and multiple presentations.

Currently, students and community volunteers are working on re-cataloguing the entire collection and digitizing artifacts of interest for the public.

Scope
The excavation was divided into the Construct Construction Units (CCU). Identified archaeological sites were given an identifier in accordance with the Smithsonian trinomial, for example, site 9FU91. The GSU excavations covered Phase A of the MARTA construction and some of the 1979-1980 expansion, which included most of the East-West line and only a small part of the North-South line.

The collection currently consists of 469 banker boxes with a total estimate of 100,000 artifacts. The collection also includes field notes, photograph negatives, specimen catalogs, official MARTA reports, and other associated documentation.
