Kodiak F1. The Kodiak F1 is a concept car displayed at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show. The car was the project of Mladen Mitrovic, the owner of a convertible roof manufacturing company, Speed & Sport, who designed the car with the help of the Technical University of Munich and the help of the first computer-aided design. The car's frame is a tubular design, made of kevlar, carbon-fiber, and epoxy. The interior of the car is made entirely of off-the-shelf Momo parts. The car had a Chevrolet L48 V8, Brembo brakes from a Ferrari 288 GTO, a ZF 5-speed gearbox, Pirelli tires from a Lamborghini Countach, and Koni shock absorbers. The original concept was proposed with a tuned Chevrolet L48 V8, with new forged pistons, Brodix cylinder heads, higher compression ratio, and a significantly lighter from stock Flywheel. The Drag racer Larry Ofria had over 30 orders for the car, and as such took it to California to make the car road legal, but it could not pass noise regulations. After this, Mitrovic has managed to get Waggonfabrik Rastatt to manufacture the bodies for the Kodiak, however a fire destroyed the negative molds for the car. For the next decade, Mitrovic unsuccessfully attempted to sue the coachbuilding company. As time passed with the project still "under construction'', the quoted price of the car rose from $48,000 to $117,000. Short on money and investors, Mitrovic gave up on the project in 1989. 6 units were built, however, only one example survives. The surviving unit is the original prototype seen in the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show, with it being abandoned outside of a Californian car collectors shop, since 1990, and was sold on EBay in 2009 for $50,000.

Acceleration data 
In the November 1987 issue of Auto Motor und Sport, a unit of the Kodiak F1 was tested. However, it had to use a stock L48 engine to be road legal in Europe, and this unit was using a stock L48 engine so it could be driven in Europe. The Kodiak F1 had the following acceleration data:

Intel Threat Detection Technology. Intel Threat Detection Technology (TDT) is a CPU-level technology created by Intel in 2018 to enable host endpoint protections to use a CPU's low-level access to detect threats to a system. TDT consists of multiple components including Accelerated Memory Scanning, which uses the CPU's integrated GPU to scan memory, and Advanced Platform Telemetry, which uses processor-level activity monitoring to detect unusual activity. It is supported on sixth-generation or newer Intel Core CPUs and additional capabilities were added to the 11th generation Core processors.

Intel TDT is integrated into several third-party anti-malware solutions including Microsoft Defender, Check Point Harmony Endpoint, CrowdStrike Falcon, and others.

Accelerated Memory Scanning 
Accelerated Memory Scanning (also referred to as "Advanced Memory Scanning") uses the CPU's integrated GPU to scan memory for malicious code, instead of using the CPU directly. This improves system responsiveness during anti-malware scanning. and lowers power consumption. Features include pattern matching, using random forest decision trees, string extraction, entropy calculation, and Euclidean clustering.

Advanced Platform Telemetry 
Advanced Platform Telemetry collects CPU-level telemetry to detect uncommon activity patterns which might be indicative of malware. The telemetry data is collected from the CPU performance monitoring unit (PMU) and doesn't require a large signature database to detect malware. Instead, it uses machine-learning based correlations to identify indicators of attack

For example, Microsoft Defender is able to use TDT's Advanced Platform Telemetry features to detect processor usage patterns indicative of ransomware and cryptojacking with TDT so it can detect them.

Semi-Dirac fermion. In condensed matter physics, semi-Dirac fermions are a class of quasiparticles that are fermionic with the unusual property that their energy dispersion relation changes from quadratic to linear dependent on their direction of motion. Their theoretical properties have been studied for some time.

Their first observation in a solid was in zirconium silicon sulfide (ZrSiS), a topological semi-metal, and was published in 2024.

Universal lathe. A universal lathe or parallel lathe is the most common type of lathe. It differs from other types of lathes in that it has the option of a tailstock, separate mechanisms for longitudinal and transverse feeds (typically via separate handwheels), and an automatic (usually mechanically) driven longitudinal leadscrew for making threads.

Description 
Universal lathes are used for the production of single products or small batches, and are suitable for maintenance and similar minor work in a workshop, as well as anywhere there is a need for tools that should be as versatile as possible.

On universal lathes, one can turn longitudinally, transversely, one can turn cylindrical and conical threads, Archimedean spirals, one can also bore, countersink, ream, tap threads with taps and dies, manually polish and file. Extra accessories enables ball turning, copying and grinding. There are even aftermarket accessories for milling; typically by replacing the top slide (compound) with a milling head and a spindle for mounting the milling bit, but sometimes instead by mounting a coordinate table in place of the top slide and by mounting the milling bit in the main spindle.

The conventional layout is that the main spindle is located on the left side, while the tailstock is located on the right side.

Claudia Tebaldi. Claudia Tebaldi is an Italian American statistician who is a climate change researcher at the Joint Global Change Research Institute. Her research evaluates extreme climate events. With her mentor, Jerry Meehl, at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), she published one of the first papers looking at changes in extremes because of human-made warming. The paper, from 2004, predicted that global warming would bring more intense, frequent and longer lasting heat waves. She was elected a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union in 2023.

Early life and education 
Tebaldi grew up in Italy. She studied economics at the Università Bocconi and completed her doctoral studies in statistics at Duke University. Her doctorate involved a Bayesian analysis of network flow problems. She was interested in her applying her statistics to a real world problem, and she moved to the National Center for Atmospheric Research as a postdoctoral fellow in the Geophysical Statistics Project. Her early work studied clean-air turbulence for aviation safety.

Research and career 
Tebaldi uses statistical analysis to better understand climate change. She is a researcher in the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory – University of Maryland Joint Global Change Research Institute. In the last years, her research considers impacts of climate change on the human system, including economy, agriculture, water resources.

Tebaldi modelled the impact of sea level rise on storm surges along the coasts of the United States. Her research predicted substantial changes in the frequency of extreme water levels, even in areas with low sea level rise. She went on to study extreme sea levels in various climate scenarios (global warming from 1.5 to 5 °C), and found that extreme sea levels would become more common all around the world.

Tebaldi was a lead author for two of the latest reports of the international body for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

ADE-2. The ADE-2  is a dual use water-cooled thermal graphite-moderated reactor. The reactor was dual-purpose - producing weapons-grade plutonium and providing heat and electricity.

History
Construction started in December 1963. The reactor was shut down in April 2010.

The scope of decommissioning was much greater than with AD and ADE-1, which were single-purpose and performed only defense tasks.

In 2021 it was decided to make ADE-2 a museum exhibition.

Other similar types

These two sources show slightly different date of start and shutdown.

Legacy AD and ADE-1 are almost decommissioned. ADE-3, ADE-4, and ADE-5 were being decommissioned as of 2024.
