Solar (Spanish term). In Spanish urban development a solar is a plot of land that meets minimum conditions to be built on  and developed properly according to existing land use regulations. These conditions relate primarily to water supply and access to the electrical grid, disposal or purification of wastewater and road access.

The specific characteristics required for such a plot to be considered a "solar" are set for each Spanish Autonomous Region based on these criteria. During the Spanish colonization of the Americas, the solar was one of the basic units into which cities were divided; solares were assigned when a new settlement was founded.

Deerfield Dam. Deerfield Dam is a dam impounding Castle Creek in the Black Hills of South Dakota.  The dam creates Deerfield Reservoir within the Black Hills National Forest.

The earthen dam was originally built by the United States Bureau of Reclamation in 1942–1947, with a height of 171 feet, to store irrigation water for the surrounding Pennington County.  Construction was started in July 1942 by the Farm Security Administration, and later continued by the Civilian Conservation Corps under the Works Projects Administration during World War II.  Employment of conscientious objectors under the Civilian Public Service here drew complaints from locals.

The reservoir has a capacity of 15,700 acre-feet and covers 414 acres of surface.  Along with providing irrigation and recreation such as ice fishing and ice skating, the reservoir also supplements the municipal water supply of Rapid City, South Dakota and for the nearby Ellsworth Air Force Base.

Today, several recreational areas and campgrounds operated by the National Forest Service offer public recreational opportunities to the lake area.

Deckle edge. In papermaking, a deckle edge is a feathered edge on a piece of paper, in contrast to a cut edge. Before the 19th century, the deckle edge was unavoidable, a natural artifact of the production process in which sheets of paper were made individually on a deckle, a wooden frame. Today, machine-made paper may artificially have its edges produced with deckle edges.

The deckle could not make a perfect seal against the screen at the edges and the paper slurry would seep under, creating a rough edge to the paper. The deckle edge could be trimmed off, but this extra step added to the cost of the book. Beginning in the early 1800s with the invention of the Fourdrinier machine, paper was produced in long rolls and the deckle became mostly obsolete. Although there was some rough edging on the ends of the rolls, it was cut off, and the individual sheets cut out from the roll would have no deckle edge in any case.

History 
With the appearance of smooth edges in the 19th century, the deckle edge slowly emerged as a status symbol. Many 19th-century presses advertised two versions of the same book: one with edges trimmed smooth, the other a higher-priced deckle version. This suggested the deckle book was made with higher-quality paper, or with more expensive methods. This tradition carried forward into the 20th and 21st centuries. Modern deckle edges are produced by a purpose-built machine to give the appearance of a true deckle edge by cutting a smooth edge into patterns. Ironically, the apparent value of a deckle edge is, in part, the impression that it is handmade, an inherently greater expense than mass-production.

However, there remain many papermills worlwide, such as Arches paper and Hahnemühle that still make hand-made paper with natural deckle edges, and these are often used by artists for their unique properties, texture, colors, or other appeal or fit to their artistic vision. Many fine art works or digital prints therefore have natural deckle edges.

Criticism 
Many readers consider the deckle edge to be inferior, given the awkwardness of turning the pages of deckle-edge books, while others are entirely unfamiliar with it and assume it to be an accidental defect. For example, Amazon has left notes to book buyers clarifying that the deckle is not an unintentional flaw in the product. A deckle edge is unrelated to the practice of unopened pages, in which a reader must cut open pages with a knife.

Polypropylene drum. The introduction of Polypropylene drums permitted the routine commercial use of a range of highly corrosive chemicals in the tanning industry, for processes such as depilation and bleaching. In spite of the cheapness of the processes, the required chemicals are too aggressive for most practical choices of metal drums.

Polypropylene drums for aggressive chemical processes 
Polypropylene is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic with high bonding strength, tough, stable, elastic, hard and highly abrasion- and impact-resistant. Because of its chemical and physical molecular structure, solid masses of polypropylene are highly resistant to a wide range of aggressive chemicals including aqueous solutions of salts, acids and alkalis.
Applying these characteristics to the demands of the tannery, professor Mario Serrini invented the first polypropylene drum in the 1990s and subsequently he exploited the attributes of the material to refine the technical advantages and performance of the tanning process.

Relevant polypropylene attributes 
The typical features of Polypropylene-Homopolymers (PPH) sheets used for construction of drums include:
 abrasion resistance
 electrical and thermal insulation 
 extremely smooth surface
 high impact strength
 high level of hardness, stiffness and tensile strength
 practically no water absorption
 resistance to stress-cracking
 toughness both at temperatures between  -5 °C and 95 °C
 very good chemical resistance

Applicability of polypropylene drums to tanning processes
Polypropylene drums have proven suitable for innovative processes and adaptable to traditional ones. In particular:

'' 'Oxidative liming: replacing the traditional process based on lime and sodium sulphide by oxidative processing with  peroxide and soda.
Despite the advantages of oxidative liming (cleaner, finer grained product, reduced environmental pollution, lower costs, improved safety), oxidative liming was not hitherto practical on an industrial scale because of the effects of the chemicals on the traditional drums of wood or stainless steel.

 'Zirconium tanning''': Tanning by zirconium salts offers great advantages in obtaining a final product of great color brilliance and very light colours. However it is another aggressive process; it requires a very acid medium (about pH 1.0). Such strong acid causes rapid corrosion of metallic parts of the traditional drums. The polypropylene-lined drum prevents any contact between the acid and metal equipment.
  'Sodium hypochlorite and potassium permanganate: These often are used in the processing of reptile skins, bleaching the material and preparing it for further processing. They are strong oxidising agents that rapidly damage metallic equipment, but a thick lining of polypropylene protects the metallic parts of the drum.

Shell Processing Support. Shell Processing Support (SPS) is a set of formatted files used for exchanging Land 3D seismic data. They can also be used for 2D.

History
Shell Processing Support data format was initially defined and used by Shell Internationale Petroleum for transferring of seismic and positioning data to the processing centres. In 1993 SEG Technical standards committee on ancillary data formats adopted SPS as the standard format for exchanging Geophysical positioning data.

SPS Format
SPS format is a set of three files called Receiver file, Source file, Cross reference file and an optional fourth file for comments. In addition to the comment file comments can be entered in each of the three files as part of the header and is indicated by starting with the letter H.

Receiver file:
Receiver file contains the information about the geophones their type, position (Easting, Northing, Elevation) and their ID.

Source file:
Source file contains the information about the Seismic source its position and their ID.

Cross reference file:
Cross reference file (also known as relational file) or in short, X file, is basically a relational file relating the source and the receiver when the shot occurred. It contains the details about the Shot ID, Source and receivers associated with that particular shot ID.

Comment file:
This file is an optional file. Any other information regarding the seismic acquisition can be provided in this file for the processing center.

Versions
 The first version of SPS adopted by SEG is now referred to as SPS rev0
 The recent version of SPS is SPS rev2.1
