Ranganadi Dam. The Ranganadi Dam is a concrete-gravity diversion dam on the Ranganadi River (also known as Panyor River) in  Arunachal Pradesh, India which serves a run-of-the-river scheme.

Power generation
The dam is intended for hydroelectric purposes and is part of Stage I of the Ranganadi Hydro Electric Project and supports the  Dikrong Power House. The  tall dam diverts water south into a  headrace tunnel which is then transferred into a  penstock before reaching the three  turbines. Since commissioning, the power house has been generating much less than its capacity because of drought.

Stage II of the project is designed to provide water storage for Stage I and includes a  rock-fill embankment dam with a  storage capacity. This dam will support an additional  power station.

Renfe Class 310. The Renfe Class 310 is a class of 60 four axle Bo'Bo' diesel-electric locomotives for shunting and freight built by Meinfesa with General Motors Electromotive Division components (engine, electrical transmission).

In the mid-2000s 4 units were converted to a subclass 310.1; a push-pull container train with a 310 class locomotive at each end; the units later became the property of Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) and became the 353 Series.

History and design

The Renfe 310 was ordered in the late 1980s as a replacement for the Renfe Class 307 and 308. The order was part of a modernisation of the diesel shunting fleet in the 1980s which also resulted in the Renfe Class 309 and 311. The 310 Class is a variant of the General Motors SW1001 switcher with a modified cab shape.

The locomotives were painted in the standard silver and red livery standard for Renfe shunting locomotives.

As of 2010 the class are split between Adif and Renfe Mercancías.

Class 310.1

4 units have been converted to a formation known as "Medium Distance Teco" (TMD) (Spanish: Teco de Media Distancia); this is a service intended to move containerised freight a distance between , and compete with road transport. Each train consists of 8  wagons and a class 310 locomotive at either end, with a container capacity of 24 TEU. The locomotives are connected by optical fibre.

The 310.1 locomotives received modified cabs, similar to the design of the rebuilt Renfe 333.3 subclass.

Later the two sets were sold to FGC and in 2009 began use transporting car parts to a SEAT factory. Under FGC ownership the units became the class FGC 353.

Purple of Cassius. Purple of Cassius is a purple pigment formed by the reaction of gold salts with tin(II) chloride. It has been used to impart glass with a red coloration (see cranberry glass), as well as to determine the presence of gold as a chemical test.

Generally, the preparation of this material involves gold being dissolved in aqua regia, then reacted with a solution of tin(II) chloride. The tin(II) chloride reduces the chloroauric acid from the dissolution of gold in aqua regia to a colloid of elemental gold supported on tin dioxide  to give a purple precipitate or coloration.

When used as a test, the intensity of the color correlates with the concentration of gold present. This test was first observed and refined by a German physician and alchemist, Andreas Cassius (1600–1676) of Hamburg, in 1665. Berzelius later made a detailed study of the purple of Cassius. The colour also attracted attention from Faraday.

Richard Adolf Zsigmondy, who earned the 1926 Nobel Prize for chemistry, says that "Several of the red gold divisions prepared with formaldehyde as well as those reduced with phosphorus appeared perfectly clear in ordinary daylight (like good red wine). They did not settle out their gold, and I was therefore able to call them rightly chemical solutions. In Thomas Graham’s dialysis, however, they behaved like colloidal suspensions: the gold particles did not pass through the parchment membrane. This showed my gold divisions their proper place, namely, that they belonged to the colloidal suspensions."

Studstrup Power Station. The Studstrup Power Station () is a thermal power station at Studstrup, Denmark. It is operated by Ørsted.  It has an electrical generation capacity of 700 MWe and went in service in 1968. The chimney of the power plant is  tall. Waste heat from the plant is directed via pipes into Århus and used for district heating. In 2016, the power station was converted from a coal-fueled station to using biomass as their primary fuel.

It is located in Aarhus Municipality.

History 
The plant was built as a coal-fired power plant with a single unit with a nameplate capacity of  152 MWe electricity. It was inaugurated 18 October 1968 by Margrethe II. The chimney is  tall. The plant was owned by I/S Midtkraft.

In 1972 unit 2 with a nameplate capacity of 262 MWe electricity was commissioned. It had a second  tall chimney.

Two new coal-fired units, unit 3 and 4 was commissioned in 1984 and 1985. Both of them are combined heat and power plants each with a nameplate capacity of 380 MWe electricity and 455 MJ/s heat. The two units use a combined  tall chimney.

In 2000 I/S Midtkraft, five other power plant companies and the distribution company ELSAM I/S combined into Elsam A/S. In 2006 Elsam A/S was taken over by DONG Energy.

Unit 4 was expanded to burn straw as a supplement to coal in 2001. Unit 3 followed with the same conversion in 2005.

Between 2014 and 2016, unit 3 was converted from coal and straw to wood pellets. A new silo with a capacity of 65000 tons wood pellets and 800m conveyor system was constructed. Unit 3 can still be fired on coal, but due to taxes, it is only profitable to do when there is no demand for heat.

Unit 4 was decommissioned in April 2022, but in October 2022 the decommission was postponed to 31 August 2024 due the energy crisis in Europe.

From 22 September until 20 October 2022, a fire was active in the large silo containing wood pellets. It sent up large plumes of smoke. Nearby towns had at times to be evacuated while the firefighting was ongoing. The silo contained 55000 tons wood pellets when the fire broke out.

Renfe Class 311. The Renfe Class 311 is a class of four axle Bo'Bo' diesel electric shunting and light freight locomotives.

Background and design

The prototype locomotive 311.001 was designed by M.T.M. (Barcelona), Ateinsa (Madrid) and Babcock & Wilcox (Bilbao); the project was led by the Instituto Nacional de Industria.

The prototype locomotive led to an order of 60 units, which were assigned to the subclass 311.1, and numbered 311.101 to 311.160.

The transmission system uses 4 axle hung pinion drive three-phase asynchronous motors powered by a three phase alternator driven by a MTU engine partly license built by Bazán. Siemens supplied Sibas-16 microprocessor engine control systems.

The prototype locomotive was initially painted orange with a white stripe, the series production were all given a red/silver livery; standard for Renfe shunting locomotives. Some units have subsequently received a more recent white/grey Renfe livery. As of 2010 most of the units are operated by Renfe Mercancías, about one third have been assigned to the infrastructure company Adif.

Derivatives
The locomotives were a success for the Spanish engineering industry, and the design formed the basis of a number of locomotive types exported from the Meinfesa factory: the SBB Am 841 (40 units 1994), the GA DE900 locomotives for Mexico, Israel and Egypt (35 units, 1997-2000) and the SNCF Class BB 60000 (175 units, 2004-8).

Nano guitar. The nano guitar is a microscopically small carved guitar. It was developed by Dustin W. Carr in 1997, under the direction of Professor Harold G. Craighead, in the Cornell Nanofabrication Facility. The idea came about as a fun way to illustrate nanotechnology, and captured popular attention. It is disputed as to whether the nano guitar should be classified as a guitar, but it is the common opinion that it is in fact a guitar.

Explanation
Nanotechnology miniaturizes normal objects, in this case, a guitar. It can be used to create tiny cameras, scales, and covert listening devices. An example of this is smart dust, which can be either a camera or a listening device smaller than a grain of sand. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter. For comparison, a human hair is about 200,000 nanometers thick. The nano guitar is about as long as one-twentieth of the diameter of a human hair, 10 micrometers or 10,000 nanometers long. Each of the six 'strings' is 50 nanometers wide. The entire guitar is the size of an average red blood cell. The guitar is carved from a grain of crystalline silicon by scanning a laser over a film called a 'resist'. This technique is known as electron-beam lithography. 

The guitar strings can be made to vibrate by tiny lasers using an atomic force microscope, in the same way, a guitar player might use a plectrum. The strings vibrate at around 40 000 000 Hz, roughly 15 octaves higher than a normal guitar, which can typically reach up to 1318.510 Hz. Even if its sound were amplified, it could not be detected by the human ear.

Implications
The nano guitar illustrates inaudible technology that is not meant for musical entertainment. The application of frequencies generated by nano-objects is called sonification. Such objects can represent numerical data and provide support for information processing activities of many different kinds that produce synthetic non-verbal sounds. Since the manufacture of the nano-guitar, researchers in the lab headed by Dr. Craighead have built even tinier devices. One thought is that they may be useful as tiny scales to measure tinier particles, such as bacteria, which may aid in diagnosis.
