KC Claffy. Kimberly C. "KC" Claffy is director of the Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis at the University of California, San Diego. In 2017 she was awarded the Jonathan B. Postel Service Award and inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame in 2019.

Early life and education 
Claffy studied symbolic systems at Stanford University. She earned her doctoral degree under the supervision of George Polyzos at the University of California, San Diego in 1994. Claffy was a summer intern at AT&T, Harry Diamond Laboratories and the Federal Reserve. Her years in graduate school occurred during the period in which the federal government of the United States relaxed control over the Internet. The Internet became a more commercial entity interconnecting a rapidly-increasing number of networks, hosts and users, and as the World Wide Web expanded, the nature of the traffic on the Internet changed. This inspired Claffy to develop initiatives that share Internet data and support Internet data analysis.

Research and career 
Claffy was promoted to associate research scientist in 1994 and research scientist in 2007. In 1996 Claffy founded the Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) in the supercomputing centre at the University of California, San Diego. At the CAIDA Claffy works on internet cartography that characterises the changing nature of Internet topology and Internet traffic dynamics. This involves mapping and measuring internet data in an effort to make the internet safer for the general public. Claffy is part of the Named Data Networking project.

In 2015, Claffy shared the IEEE Internet Award with Vern Paxson for "seminal contributions to the field of Internet measurement, including security and network data analysis, and for distinguished leadership in and service to the Internet community by providing open-access data and tools". Her work established definitions for the concept of Internet "traffic flows", in which most packets flowing across the Internet are understood to be part of a connection with coherent characteristics, rather than isolated, unconnected messages.

In 2019, Claffy was inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame for her groundbreaking work in the field of internet measurement and analysis. She was awarded an National Science Foundation Convergence Accelerator planning grant to evaluate the feasibility of creating an open knowledge network on the properties of the Internet identifier system.

3rd Army Aviation Support Regiment "Aquila". The 3rd Army Aviation Support Regiment "Aquila" () is an Italian Army unit based at Orio al Serio Airport near Bergamo in Lombardy. The regiment is part of the Italian Army's army aviation and assigned to the Army Aviation Support Brigade. The regiment provides 2nd-line maintenance, upgrade and test services for the A129D Mangusta attack helicopters of the 5th Army Aviation Regiment "Rigel" and 7th Army Aviation Regiment "Vega".

History 
On 1 September 1965, the 3rd Army Light Aviation Repairs Unit was formed at the Orio al Serio Airport in Bergamo. At the time the unit consisted of a command, a command squadron, a supply section, an inspection and recovery section, an aircraft maintenance and repair section, a helicopter maintenance and repair section, and a subsystems repair section. The unit provided technical-logistical services for flying units of the III Army Corps, IV Army Corps, and V Army Corps.

On 12 December 1989, the President of the Italian Republic Francesco Cossiga granted the unit a flag. In 1990, the unit consisted of a command, an administration office, an aviation materiel office, a general services department, a technical department, and aircraft squadron. On 2 June 1993, the unit was renamed 3rd Army Aviation Repairs Unit. On 1 September 1996, the unit was renamed 3rd Army Aviation Support Regiment "Aquila".

On 1 June 1999, the Army Aviation was assigned to the Italian Army's Cavalry Arm as a speciality of the arm. Consequently, the 3rd Army Aviation Support Regiment "Aquila" was renamed 3rd Air Cavalry Support Regiment "Aquila". On 3 November 2003, the Air Cavalry left the Italian Army's Cavalry Arm and became, as Army Aviation Specialty, a separate speciality of the Italian Army. Consequently, the 3rd Air Cavalry Support Regiment "Aquila" was renamed 3rd Army Aviation Support Regiment "Aquila". In 2012, the regiment was assigned to the Army Aviation Support Command, which, on 31 July 2019, was renamed Army Aviation Support Brigade.

Naming 
Since the 1975 army reform Italian Army aviation units are named for celestial objects: aviation support regiments are numbered with a single digit and named for one of the 88 modern constellations. As in 1996 the 3rd Army Aviation Repairs Unit was supporting the 4th Army Aviation Regiment "Altair", which was named for Altair, the brightest star in the Aquila constellation, the army decided to name the 3rd Army Aviation Support Regiment "Aquila" to affirm the two regiments' relationship. As the regiment was founded in the city of Bergamo the regiment's coats of arms fourth quarter depicts Bergamo's coat of arms.

Organization 
As of 2024 the 3rd Army Aviation Support Regiment "Aquila" is organized as follows:

  3rd Army Aviation Support Regiment "Aquila", at Orio al Serio Airport
 Command and Logistic Support Squadron
 Maintenance Unit
 Flight Squadron (AB 206 helicopters)
 Quality Control Section

Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing. Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM), also known as ARM Institute, is a consortium created in 2017 through a Department of Defense grant won by Carnegie Mellon University. ARM is structured as a public-private partnership and the Manufacturing USA Institutes, a network of 16 institutes dedicated to advancing technologies used in manufacturing. ARM was the 14th institute created and focuses on funding innovations in robotics and workforce development.

History 
ARM was founded in January 2017 as the 14th Manufacturing USA Institute with $80M in federal funding. A proposal team led by Carnegie Mellon University won the grant to create ARM, though more than 200 partners pledged support for the institute during the proposal phase.

Structure 
Like the other Manufacturing USA institutes, ARM operates as a membership-based consortium with more than 200 national members spanning industry, academia, and government. ARM periodically releases separate technology and workforce development project calls. Members then form teams to bid for funding. The project calls center on areas where robotics and/or better workforce development initiatives could solve problems in the national manufacturing sector

Headquarters 
ARM is headquartered in the Hazelwood (Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania, co-location with Carnegie Mellon University's Manufacturing Futures Institute at Mill 19. 

ARM marked the opening of its headquarters on 4 September 2019. ARM and Carnegie Mellon were the first two tenants on the site, which is on one of the three planned buildings, on a 90,000 square-foot facility, with the site having remained empty for 15 years.

In January 2022, United States President Joe Biden visited the location to deliver a speech on infrastructure and job creation in support of his Build Back Better Plan. In October 2022, ARM announced the opening of its Florida office in the Tampa Bay Innovation Center in St. Petersburg.

Shaily Mahendra. Shaily Mahendra is an Indian-American civil and environmental engineer. She is an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

Career
After earning her PhD at the University of California, Berkeley, Mahendra accepted a research scientist position at Rice University. At Rice, Mahendra studied how silver nanoparticles contained in water filtration membranes, polymers, and oil paints, worked to disinfect viruses, bacteria, and fungi. She also led a project to explore natural and engineered bioremediation of 1,4-dioxane in colder climates.

Mahendra joined the faculty of civil and environmental engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2009. Two years later, she was elected a Hellman Fellow and she conducted a project entitled “Biodegradation of Perfluorinated Compounds" which was submitted to the US Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment. As a result of her research, Mahendra received the 2013 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation and UCLA's 2013 DuPont Young Professor award. The Dupont award was given to Mahendra for her development of cost-effective detection and remediation of microbes and fungi that could remedy chemical contaminants in groundwater at industrial sites. The next year, Mahendra was promoted to Associate Professor for the 2014–15 academic year. As an Associate Professor, Mahendra teamed up with Leonard Rom to develop a new technique that uses enzymes to remove pollutants from water which also minimizes risks to public health and the environment.

In 2017, Mahendra and her research team developed a method to package enzymes capable of destroying contaminants through biodegradation together into nanoparticle “vaults.” They then immobilized the enzyme vaults in sol-gels, which would help scale up production and integrate vaults at treatment plants. As a result, Mahendra was elected to the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors Board of Directors. She later received the Paul L. Busch award for technology to clean water of pollutants.

The next year, Mahendra received a 2018 Mahatma Gandhi Pravasi Samman award from the Government of India Non-Resident Indian Welfare Society for her "distinguished record of outstanding service, achievements and contributions." In 2019, Mahendra received the 2019 Walter L. Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize from American Society of Civil Engineers for "pioneering the application of enzyme-nanoparticle vaults in water treatment."

1-Bromododecane. 1-Bromododecane is a bromoalkane with the formula Br(CH2)11CH3. It is a colorless liquid.  It is used as a long chain alkylating agent to improve the lipophilicity and hydrophobicity of organic molecules for biological applications.

Production 
Most 1-bromoalkanes are prepared by free-radical addition of hydrogen bromide to the 1-alkene, which is 1-dodecene in the case of 1-bromododecane. These conditions lead to anti-Markovnikov addition, giving the 1-bromo derivative.

1-Bromododecane can also be prepared by treating dodecanol with hydrobromic acid and sulfuric acid.
CH3(CH2)11OH  +  HBr   →   CH3(CH2)11Br  +  H2O

The Second Severomuysky Tunnel. The Second Severomuysky Tunnel (Russian: Второй Северому́йский тонне́ль) is a 15 km long one-way Russian gauge railroad tunnel, which is currently under construction on the Baikal–Amur Mainline (BAM) in the north-western part of Buryatia, Russia. It crosses the Severomuysky Range and will go along the ‘first’ Severomuysky Tunnel constructed in 1975-2003. The new tunnel will allow to increase the annual freight capacity of that particular part of the BAM from 16 to 100 million tons.

The construction started in August 2019.

History 
In 2010, the Russian Railways president Vladimir Yakunin announced his ambitious plan to reconstruct the BAM to reach a freight capacity of 100 million tons by 2050. The main obstacle was the worst ‘bottleneck’ of the BAM — the aging one-way Severomuysky Tunnel.

The idea to build a new tunnel was first made public in the summer of 2018. In November, it was announced that the second tunnel would add another 68 daily trains to today’s 38, and the budget for the new tunnel construction was estimated at 190 billion rubles, excluding VAT ($2.89 billion).

In March 2019, Dmitry Bosov, the owner of Siberian Anthracite Group, sent a letter to the Russian president Vladimir Putin, proposing to build the new tunnel in 5 years and privately finance it in exchange for the Group’s priority access to the BAM and the Trans-Siberian Railway to transport 50 mln tons of cargo annually for the next 25 years. Such a deal will allow Sibanthracite to significantly increase its delivery of anthracite and metallurgical coal to the Pacific Rim. The content of the letter was disclosed by Vedomosti, a Russian business daily.

Dmitry Bosov suggested that Sibanthracite Group will require 60 billion rubles ($0.92 billion) to construct the new tunnel.

In early 2020, the project stopped following the suicide of Dmitry Bosov.

Concession 
According to the Russian Railways president Oleg Belozyorov, his colleagues together with the Federal Agency for Railway Transport, the Ministry of Transport, and the Federal Antimonopoly Service are still working on forming a public-private partnership that would legitimise the proposed ‘concession with lease’ and still provide Russian companies with a non-discriminatory access to the railways.

Construction 
In December 2019, Sibanthracite Group commissioned the US company Robbins to design and construct two Robbins Crossover XRE tunnel boring machines.

On August 20, 2019, the pre-construction work began on the site. The excavation of the 10,3 m wide tunnel was planned to begin from both sides: from the Western portal in October 2020 and from the Eastern portal in January 2021.

Based on the experience of the excavation of the first tunnel, Russian specialists claim that the Severomuysky Range is one of the most complicated subjects for tunnel excavation.

Howard Adams Carson. Howard Adams Carson (1842–1931) was an American civil engineer and pioneer of tunnel construction.

Carson received his B.S. from MIT in 1869. He was an assistant engineer at the Providence, Rhode Island water works from 1871 to 1877. He then became an engineer for Boston's metropolitan engineering department. He was appointed as the chief engineer for Boston's new sewage and drainage system, which he designed in 1887. When the Boston Transit Commission was created in 1894, he was appointed as the Commission's Chief Engineer. Carson is most famous as the chief engineer for the Tremont Street subway, which was begun in March 1895 and completed in September 1897. He was also the chief engineer of the East Boston and Washington Street subways. In 1909 he resigned from the Boston Transit Commission and then served as a consultant for several engineering projects, including the construction of the New York subway and a two-track railway tunnel under the Detroit River. He wrote the article Tunnel for the 11th edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica.

Carson served as president of the Alumni Association of Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1884 to 1887. In 1906 he was awarded the honorary degree of A.M. by Harvard University.

In 1870 he married Nancy Wilmarth (1845–1913) of Boston.
