TREAC. TREAC or the TRE Automatic Computer was one of the first British computers, and in the world.

History
It was developed by the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) in Worcestershire. The University of Manchester had been developing some of the first computers in the late 1940s and early 1950s. From 1947, the TRE in Worcestershire had been developing computers. The main part of the Manchester team had previously been at TRE. TRE had produced much of the electronics for the United Kingdom (for radar) during World War II, and came under the Ministry of Supply.

Development
TREAC was developed in the early 1950s. TREAC produced the first computer synthesised music. It ran its first computer program in 1953; from 1958 different sorts of computer programs could be written. All information was fed in and fed out on punched paper tape. TREAC was a parallel computer, the first in the UK.

Closure
TREAC was switched off in 1962, and replaced with the Royal Radar Establishment Automatic Computer (RREAC, the UK's first solid state computer).

Adam Babah-Alargi. Hajj Adam Babah-Alargi (25 December 1927 – 4 November 2019) was a Ghanaian engineer who was responsible for many national projects in Ghana. He was the first Ghanaian to establish Ghana's first indigenous engineering consultancy. He was a founding member of the Accra West branch of the Rotary Club.

Early life and education
Babah-Alargi was born on 25 December 1927 at Korle Gonno in Accra to Hausa parents. He studied structural engineering at Hammersmith College, London, England.

Career
Babah-Alargi joined Bolten Hennesy and Partners in 1958 after his college education. Around that period, the company had been charged with projects in Ghana and these projects were at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. Hajj was put in charge for some of these projects namely; The Vice Chancellor's Residence, the School of Architecture (Phases I and II), the Pharmacy Block and Halls of residence specifically Queen Elizabeth's Hall, which was commissioned by the Queen when she visited Ghana in 1961. In 1960 he joined OVE Aropp and Partners (then the biggest foreign consulting firm in Ghana) as a director. There, his first project was to oversee the erection of the Presidential stand at the Black Star Square, a project that needed to be ready prior to the Queen's visit. From 1961 to 1964 he worked on the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital as the only Ghanaian engineer in the team. The project saw the building of the Surgical, Maternity, and Children's wards among others. In 1965 the then president Dr. Kwame Nkrumah engaged him to restructure the presidential stand at the Black Star Square as the president thought it was too high. The president however, was unable to use the stand which was to be due in early 1966 as a result of the overthrow of his government in early 1966. In 1967 he founded his own consultancy firm by the name of BAB Consultancy. The firm was the first indigenous consultancy established by a Ghanaian in his field of expertise. It was therefore the first indigenous engineering consultancy founded in Ghana. He worked on many projects in the following years and also served as a consultant for the Bank of Ghana, the National Investment Bank, and Messrs SKOA. He retired in 1987 and the business was handed over to his staff.

He together with ten others founded the Rotary Club of Accra-West. In 1987, the late Michael Asafo-Boakye, the then District Governor, appointed him as the District Governor's special representative to help form the Rotary Club in Osu-RE.

Death
He died in November 2019 at the age of 91. His funeral was officiated by the National Chief Imam Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu. He was the oldest living rotarian in Ghana prior to his death.

Weather compensation. Weather compensation is a technique for adjusting heating systems to reflect the outside weather, using weather compensation controls.

If the outside temperature drops, it will increase the temperature of the heating medium (typically, water or air) in the heating system.

These systems reduce fuel usage, mostly by predicting demand, and modifying heating in advance of the change to the interior temperature.   The system can also understand the different responses of various parts of the property to exterior conditions, and compensate for that.  Additional savings can result from the system understanding the expected demand, and hence avoiding wasting energy heating rooms with open windows, for example.

Handplane (bodysurfing). A handplane or handboard is used by bodysurfers to enhance their speed, lift and control whilst riding a wave.

A handplane is generally worn on a bodysurfer's leading hand.

Materials

Wood 
Handplanes have traditionally been made out of wood. To preserve the handplanes' lifetime, a number of manufacturers tend to prefer Paulownia or White Cedar.

Fiberglass 
A number of handplane makers upcycle old broken surfboards to create handplanes out of foam with a fiberglass coating. Foam handplanes tend to have more buoyancy than ones made of wood or plastic.

Plastic 
Plastic offers durability in the event of a dropped handplane or hitting rocks on entry/exit of a reef break. Some companies are now making handplanes from recycled ocean plastics.

History 
Bodysurfers would use any item with a flat surface, such as fast food trays, clipboards, or flip flops, to aid their ride. The first modern handboard, The Hand Surfa hardboard, was produced by an Australian company in the 1960s. In the 1990s, many new handboard manufacturers entered the market including Slyde Handboards, who created handboards from foam. and WAW Handplanes, who create handplanes from recycled plastics.

Boeing Lunar Lander. The Boeing Human Landing System (HLS) was the name of a proposed lunar lander concept by Boeing that was submitted by Boeing to NASA on 5 November 2019 as part of the Artemis program and the NextSTEP H. The proposal was presented as the "quickest and simplest method" for a 2024 Moon landing. The lunar lander concept was not selected for funding by NASA as part of Artemis in the 30 April 2020 announcement.

Overview
Boeing Human Landing System was a proposal for the design of a lunar lander and lunar orbit spacecraft that would use the Space Launch System (SLS rocket) being developed by NASA to launch the lander into Earth orbit and then place it in lunar orbit where it would rendezvous with the NASA Lunar Gateway and join up with a crew sent up in an Orion space capsule. This design concept was presented as a response to NASA's solicitation in May 2019, where about a dozen companies proposed lunar lander designs.  

The Boeing lander consists of a descent and ascent stage with the descent stage being able to deorbit the lander, which eliminates the need for a third transfer stage. The lander was explicitly designed to be launched on the Boeing-built SLS Block 1B rocket rather than assembled in space after multiple launches, reducing the number of mission-critical events from 11 to 5, and reducing mission complexity. The lander was to be designed such that it would not have to dock onto the Lunar Gateway and could dock with Orion directly in order to allow for a simpler mission profile. The lander was intended to reuse several technologies from Boeing's CST-100 Starliner, so that the pressure vessel, life support and avionics systems could be flight-tested and human-rated before being integrated into the lander.

Intuitive Machines was selected to build and test the lander's engines and fuel tank structure. Aerojet Rocketdyne was also participating in the project.

Challenges 
One problem with the lander is its high launch mass which required it to be launched by a SLS Block 1B. This variant of SLS is not expected to be operational until 2025 at the earliest. It was stated that the lander could be launched in parts with the descent stage launching on SLS Block 1 and the ascent stage launching on a commercial launcher and the two parts be assembled in lunar orbit in case Block 1B is not ready.

Investigation  

The NASA inspector general launched an investigation after Boeing attempted to change the details of the submission, potentially indicating that Boeing had received information about other bids.

Fate  
It was reported by NASASpaceFlight.com in August 2021 that Boeing's VR-3500 engines developed for their lander were being cannibalized by Intuitive Machines for their future Nova-M lander.

Phenylacetyl-CoA. Phenylacetyl-CoA (C29H42N7O17P3S) is a form of acetyl-CoA formed from the condensation of the thiol group from coenzyme A with the carboxyl group of phenylacetic acid.

Its molecular-weight is 885.7 g/mol. and IUPAC name is  S-[2-[3-[[(2R)-4-[[[(2R,3S,4R,5R)-5-(6-aminopurin-9-yl)-4-hydroxy-3-phosphonooxyoxolan-2-yl]methoxy-hydroxyphosphoryl]oxy-hydroxyphosphoryl]oxy-2-hydroxy-3,3-dimethylbutanoyl]amino]propanoylamino]ethyl] 2-phenylethanethioate. It is formed via the actions of Phenylacetate—CoA ligase.

Phenylacetyl-CoA is often produced via the reduction of ATP to AMP and the conversion of phenylacetate and CoA to diphosphate and Phenylacetyl-CoA.

 ATP + phenylacetate + CoA → AMP + diphosphate + phenylacetyl-CoA

This reaction is catalyzed by phenylacetate-CoA ligase. 

Phenylacetyl-CoA combines with water and quinone to produce phenylglyoxylyl-CoA and quinol via a phenylacetyl-CoA dehydrogenase reaction acting as an oxidoreductase.

Phenylacetyl-CoA inhibits choline acetyltransferase acting as a neurotoxin. It competes with acetyl-CoA.

Xi'an KJ-600. The Xi'an KJ-600 is a Chinese twin-propeller, quad-tail, high-wing military aircraft designed for cargo and airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) intended for carrier-based operations, to be deployed on Type 003 aircraft carriers of the People's Liberation Army Navy from around 2024.

Design and development
The KJ-600 is a high-straight wing aircraft reportedly powered by a pair of WJ-6 turboprop engine, and sports a quad-fin tailplane, tricycle gear and a large dorsal radome suspected to be fitted with an AESA-type system. A non-flying model was observed on a concrete mockup carrier at Wuhan electronic testing facility, The mockup has a striking external resemblance to the aftward-folding Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye.

The aircraft made its maiden flight on 29 August 2020. Flight testing continued in 2021. A prototype in flight was spotted by aircraft observers above the testing facility in October 2021. In late 2023 "intensive trials" were underway with at least four, possibly even six, prototypes, according to Gu Min Chul.

Strategic implication
The Diplomat Rick Joe, who writes extensively on Chinese aviation and naval developments, commented that "fixed wing carrierborne AEW&C are a vital and essential part to any navy that seeks to field a robust and capable carrier airwing, and their ability to enhance a carrier group's offensive and defensive capabilities and overall situational awareness and network-centric warfare is unmatched by any other platform type that will exist in the near future". 

Analyst H. I. Sutton believed the KJ-600 will be a massive boost to the PLA Navy, and "[o]nce it enters service on the carriers, it will greatly enhance the aerial and maritime situational awareness [...] [a]nd the offensive and defensive capabilities of the carrier group", and that "Chinese aerospace and military industry has certainly shown its ability to develop quite modern and capable AEW&C systems for other air, naval and ground applications".

Finish (detergent). Finish is the brand name of a range of dishwasher detergent and cleaning products sold by the consumer products manufacturer Reckitt. The tablets, based on the original product, contain surfactants which counteract water hardness and break down foods containing starches and proteins, and remove bleachable stains and produce enzymes and foams. The product is specially designed for dishwashers. Prior to 2009, the product was known as Electrasol in North America, and as Calgonit in some European countries.

History
In the early 1950s, the increased use of moulded plastic dinnerware posed a number of problems. The Finish brand was created in 1953 by the US company Economics Laboratory (now Ecolab). Taking advantage of research into the needs of the dairy and food industry, the company launched two new products for the household dishwashing machine in 1953: mass-market product Electrasol, and premium product Finish. Later, in 1969, they introduced the first biological powder.

J. A. Benckiser (later Reckitt Benckiser) acquired the Consumer Products division of Ecolab Inc. in 1987. In 1995, the first two-ply powder tablet was introduced, in 1999 the red Powerball capsule, in 2008, the Finish Quantum and the first three-chamber moulded capsule. Circa 2009, all Electrasol products were rebranded under Finish label.

Jack Wilson (engineer). Jack Wilson (1905–1972) was an Australian engineer. The company he founded, Wilson Transformer Company, continues to manufacture electrical transformers in Australia.

Early life
Wilson was born on 16 May 1905 at Batley, Yorkshire in England. After school at Purlwell Council and Batley Grammar Schools, he was apprenticed to Ward & Co, a local electrical and mechanical engineering firm. He went on to be a draftsman and designer with Yorkshire Electric Transformer Company.

In 1929, Wilson emigrated to Victoria, Australia and joined the Australian branch of the British Electric Transformer Co. in South Melbourne. Four years later, he launched his own business in 1933. It had several homes before settling at Port Melbourne in 1938 as the Wilson Electric Transformer Co. Pty Ltd.

Wilson Transformer Company
Following World War II, in 1950 Wilson moved to a larger site at Glen Waverley in what was then an outer suburb surrounded by market gardens. He travelled frequently to England, New Zealand and Canada to keep abreast of new technology and forge relationships with international partners such as Ferranti. A second factory opened at Clovelly Park in Adelaide in 1963 to build distribution transformers. A factory opened at Wodonga in 1981.

Wilson Transformer Company is the largest Australian manufacturer of large transformers. The executive chairman is Jack Wilson's eldest son, Robert.

Personal life
Wilson's first marriage was on 17 June 1939 at All Saints Church of England in Saint Kilda, to Dulcie Dorothy Ann Howard. They divorced in 1946. He remarried on 3 September 1946 to Betty Evelyn Webster at Collins Street Independent Church in Melbourne. They had two sons and a daughter.

During his first marriage, Wilson was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Australian Militia in December 1940, then transferred to the Australian Imperial Force on 7 August 1942 and promoted major in the Australian Army Ordnance Corps and transferred to the Australian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. He served in the Middle East from May to December 1943 with the British 1st Armoured Division. He then performed staff and training duties in Australia before transferring to the Reserve of Officers on 20 June 1945.

Wilson served as a councillor (1954–1957) and president (1956–1957) of Mulgrave Shire. He also had leading roles in many industrial and educational schools. He supplied equipment and prizes to the Department of Electrical Engineering at Monash University, and is honoured by having the high voltage laboratory named after him.

Wilson's health declined from 1966, and he died of a coronary occlusion on 30 March 1972 at Glen Waverley.
