Christopher Schuh. Christopher A. Schuh (born August 4, 1975) is an American metallurgist. He is the current dean of the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University. Previously, he was the Danae and Vasilis Salapatas Professor in Metallurgy in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he spent 21 years.

Schuh was elected as a member into the National Academy of Engineering in 2019 for contributions to design science and application of nanocrystalline metals.

Early life and education
Schuh was born on August 4, 1975. He earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign before attending Northwestern University's Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science for his PhD.  Schuh conducted his postdoctoral fellowship at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory from 2001 to 2002.

Career
Schuh joined the faculty of Materials Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2002 as an assistant professor. Within two years, he was the recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers for his experimental and theoretical research. Schuh was shortly thereafter promoted to associate professor without tenure, during which he co-discovered a safer method for shrinking crystals for metal alloys. By 2009, Schuh's research team developed a nickel-tungsten alloy that is considered safer and more durable than chrome. He was also granted tenure, and received the 2009 Young Alumnus Award from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.

In 2011, Schuh was elected a MacVicar fellow for undergraduate teaching excellence and received the  SAE International Ralph R. Teetor Education Award. He was later appointed head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, succeeding Carl Thompson. The following year, Schuh, Tongjai Chookajorn, and Heather Murdoch co-developed a method to produce nanocrystals, alloys made of tiny grains which hold exceptional strength and other properties. By 2013, Schuh's research team developed a method of making minuscule ceramic objects flexible and able to hold “memory” for shape.

He also led a team of researchers through a high-speed imaging impact process, which could help engineers design materials for erosion protection in the future. They used the data collected from the study to predict the response of particles of a given size traveling at a given speed. In 2019, Schuh was elected a Member of the National Academy of Engineering, and fellow of the National Academy of Inventors.

Climate Forecast Applications Network. Climate Forecast Applications Network (CFAN) is a company that develops weather and climate forecast tools and provides research and consulting services to manage weather and climate risks. CFAN was started in 2006 by Judith Curry and Peter Webster in Georgia Tech’s Enterprise Innovation Institute VentureLab program.

Background
Climate Forecast Applications in Bangladesh was among CFAN's first projects. In 1998, 60% of Bangladesh had floods for over three months as the Brahmaputra River and Ganges flooded simultaneously. CFAN developed a 1 to 10 day hydrologic forecast model in 2000, and the model became operational in 2003. The Bangkok, Thailand-based Regional Integrated Multi-Hazard Early Warning System (RIMES) continues use of the model for Bangladesh. Following three years of summer floods in Pakistan, a model was developed for the Indus Valley but has not been used by Pakistan authorities. CFAN has continued to call for improved weather forecasts for South Asia, particularly following Cyclone Nargis's effect on Myanmar and the storm surge from Super Typhoon Haiyan.

Reception 
In Global Flood Hazard: Applications in Modeling, Mapping, and Forecasting, CFAN was called a "notable example" for flood early warning processes, and their system was praised for effectiveness and cost. Their probabilistic forecasts are made available online for customers and can be used for operational and disaster management. In Reducing Disaster: Early Warning Systems For Climate Change, CFAN is cited as an example of "strong institutional networking and commitments" that have facilitated development of flood forecasting schemes and their application, at the international level. In Flood Forecasting: A Global Perspective CFAN's Bangladesh flood timing and flood risk predictions for the Brahmaputra River were characterized as "skillful" despite the "considerable overestimation or underestimation of peak magnitudes", with predictions for the Ganges being "less skillful".

Seidelmann 37. The Seidelmann 37 is an American sailboat that was designed by Bob Seidelmann as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1980.

Production
The design was built by Seidelmann Yachts in Berlin, New Jersey, United States, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Seidelmann 37 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with teak wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, with aluminum spars, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces  and carries  of ballast.

The design was produced with several different keel and rig combinations.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard keel and  with the optional shoal draft keel.

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 2GMF Yanmar 2GM20 diesel engine of  for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds  and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people. There is a bow "V"-berth, two settee berths in the main cabin and a quarter berth aft, with a sixth, optional pilot berth above the settee berths. The galley is located aft, on the starboard side and includes a two-burner, alcohol-fired stove and oven, plus a sink with pressurized water. There is a navigation station on the port side that is normally angled, but can be leveled for use as counter space. The head is located on the port side and just aft of the bow "V"-berth. The cabin woodwork is all of teak.

Ventilation is provided by two dorade vents, bow cabin and main cabin deck hatches, plus four opening ports.

The cockpit is a T-shaped design. The halyards, topping lift and reefing lines are all mounted internally. The cockpit has two genoa sheeting winches, plus there are two additional winches on the mast for the halyards. There are also genoa sheet tracks mounted inboard. There is an anchor well in the bow.

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 120 with the deep keel fitted.

Operational history
In a 1994 review, Richard Sherwood wrote, "like many Seidelmanns, this one has a very tall rig. The beam, however, is wide in relation to length. The result is a spacious interior."

Mount Williams (Alaska). Mount Williams is a  glaciated mountain summit located in the Chugach Mountains in the U.S. state of Alaska. The peak is situated  northeast of Cordova, and  northwest of Mount O'Neel, on land managed  by Chugach National Forest. Although modest in elevation, relief is significant as it rises over 5,000 feet (1,500 m) in less than one mile from the immense Childs Glacier.

The peak was named in 1910 by Lawrence Martin for Alfred Williams, assistant engineer for the Copper River and Northwestern Railway, which built a $1,500,000 steel bridge across the Copper River near this mountain in 1909-1910. The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1930 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.

Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Williams is located in a subpolar oceanic climate zone, with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool summers. Winds coming off the Gulf of Alaska are forced upwards by the Chugach Mountains (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall. Temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. This climate supports the Childs Glacier to the south, and Allen Glacier to the north. The months May through June offer the most favorable weather for viewing and climbing.

NAS Air King. The NAS (National Airways System) Air King was a US light biplane transport aircraft designed in 1926 to carry three passengers in two open cockpits. Only one was built but in 1928 it was revised to carry two passengers and was more successful, with over twenty produced.

Design and development

The Air King Model 26 was a single bay biplane with wings of rectangular plan, though with rounded, steel tube tips. The rest of the wing structure was a mixture of spruce and ash, with all wing surfaces fabric-covered. Because its upper and lower wings were interchangeable, the span of the upper one was only about 90% that of the lower, the latter mounted on the lower fuselage. They were braced together by inward-leaning, N-form interplane struts with  of stagger and supported over the fuselage on short, outward-leaning cabane struts, an inverted V forwards and a single strut aft on each side. Only the lower wing was set with dihedral (2.5°). Ailerons on upper and lower wings were externally interconnected though, unusually, port and starboard pairs could be separately controlled.

The fuselage was a fabric-covered, trussed steel tube structure with the readily available Curtiss OX-5 water-cooled V-8 under a rather pointed cowling in the nose. Its honeycomb radiator was mounted under the upper wing. There were two wide, open cockpits, each with a bench seat for two. The tail surfaces were very angular and constructed from dural, with a tailplane externally braced to the fin and fuselage. Its control surfaces were broad chord; the elevators had a deep cut-out for rudder movement.

The Air King's fixed undercarriage was conventional for its time, its wheels on a single axle mounted on short, vertical legs with trailing drag struts attached to the lower fuselage and a rear tailskid.

The date of the Air King's first flight in uncertain but it had been completed by January 1927. No more four-seaters were built but in early 1928 the prototype reappeared as the Model 28 with a smaller rear cockpit seating only the pilot. The engine cowling was cleaned up, totally enclosing the OX-5, and the cabane struts revised with a forward single strut and a transverse V aft on each side. It had a wider track, split axle undercarriage with longer main legs from mid-fuselage. The vertical tail was also modified, with the external bracing removed and a rounded fin and rudder. It was  shorter but its other dimensions were unchanged, as, largely, was the performance. Slightly cheaper, this two passenger version proved more popular and twenty-three were completed.

Variants

Model 26 1926 first prototype, three passengers.
Model 28 1928 two passenger version with cleaned-up engine cowling and new, two axle wider track undercarriage. 23 built.
