Ajoa Mintah. Ajoa Mintah is a Ghanaian Canadian engineer and entrepreneur known for founding Four All Ice Cream, based in Kitchener, Ontario.

Early life and education
Mintah was born to Ghanaian parents who married after meeting in Canada. Her father worked in food science, including for a time with United Nations, and her mother was a lawyer.

Mintah studied chemical engineering at the University of Waterloo. She graduated with a BASc in 2001. Before transitioning her career into ice cream production, she took a course about ice cream in the food science department at the University of Guelph.

Career
After graduating from the University of Waterloo, Mintah worked in automotive, research and consulting, and accounting sectors.

Four All Ice Cream was founded in 2017. The business began production in a factory space in Kitchener, holding pop-up shops in the Region of Waterloo before opening a retail space in 2020. The name of the company is tied to Mintah's focus on four categories of ice-cream; nostalga, foodie, vegan and classic flavours. Her ice cream uses locally sourced products and relies on a stabilizing process she engineered in order to extend the product's shelf life while minimizing additives.

In August 2021, Mintah created a flavour called Our Heroes Eat Ice Cream in recognition of front line hospital works, with some of the proceeds from sales going to a fund to support staff at Kitchener's Grand River Hospital.

Murahashi coupling. The Murahashi Coupling is a cross coupling reaction.  The coupling partners are organolithiums and organic halides. Transition metal catalysts are required. The reaction was first reported by Shun-Ichi Murahashi in 1974. This reaction is notable for using organolithiums as opposed to other cross-coupling reactions which utilize various metal-carbon compounds (metal = tin, magnesium, boron, silicon, zinc). Since the production of these other coupling reagents relies heavily upon organolithiums (especially in the case of organozinc and organomagnesium compounds), in bypassing these intermediates, this process is much more efficient. It has further been shown that the Murahashi reaction proceeds with greater selectivity, faster reaction times, and lower reaction temperatures than other similar coupling reactions while maintaining similar or higher yields.

History 

Murahashi first reported C(sp2)—C(sp3) coupling in 1974. These reactions were not metal catalyzed but were promoted by solvent, THF. The following year, Murahashi showed that coupling can occur between organolithium and alkenyl halides in the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium catalyst. In 1979, Murahashi published the catalytic version of this reaction.

Mechanism

Palladium catalysis  
The catalytic cycle of the Murahashi coupling is comparable to that of other extensively studied palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The cycle proposed by Murahashi involves four intermediates and two oxidation states of palladium, palladium(0) and palladium(II). At the start of the cycle, oxidative addition occurs between the Pd(0) catalyst (1) and an organo-halide to form an organo-Pd(II) complex (2). A transmetallation then occurs between (2) and an organo-lithium to yield the trans-hetero-organometallic complex (3) and the lithium-halide. In order to perform the reductive elimination that ultimately yields the final coupled product, a trans-cis-isomerization of (3) must occur to bring the ligands cis to each other, resulting in the cis-hetero-organometallic complex (4). Finally, reductive elimination of (4) regenerates the Pd(0) catalyst and creates the C(sp2)--C(sp3) bond in the coupled product.

Conditions limitations 
Organolithium reagents pose some danger because they are highly pyrophoric. The reaction is typically carried out in toluene as a solvent . The mixture is often carried out between 0–80 °C and quenched with acid to deactivate any remaining organolithium.

Ruthenium catalysis 
While Pd(0)-catalyzed reactions are highly efficient for the cross-coupling of organo-halides and organolithium reagents, ruthenium catalysts have also been demonstrated.

Aluminium–zinc alloys. Aluminium brass is a technically rather uncommon term for high-strength and partly seawater-resistant copper-zinc cast and wrought alloys with 55–66% copper, up to 7% aluminium, up to 4.5% iron, and 5% manganese. Aluminium bronze is technically correct as bronze, a zinc-free copper-tin casting alloy with aluminium content.

The term "special brass" is much more common for this, which then also includes alloys that add further characteristic elements to the copper-zinc base. In addition to the already mentioned elements of iron and manganese, lead, nickel and silicon can also be found as alloy components.

Due to their aluminium content, which is susceptible to oxidation at the usual melting temperatures in the range of 900 °C, the alloys require careful melting and melting treatment. Even when potting, attention must be paid to any oxides forming.

7000 series 
7000 series are alloyed with zinc, and can be precipitation hardened to the highest strengths of any aluminium alloy.  Most 7000 series alloys include magnesium and copper as well.

1905–06 MIT Engineers men's ice hockey season. The 1905–06 MIT Engineers men's ice hockey season was the 7th season of play for the program.

Season
Hopes were high after MIT produced a winning season in 1905 but from the start the '06 team had trouble. Two games to be played in New York City were announced for the Christmas break but as it turned out the matches were never arranged. The college newspaper laid the blame at the feet of team manager Benjamin Sharpe who responded with a defense that no such announcement had been made. The paper stood by its statement and used reports from three Boston-area papers as corroboration.

1902–03 MIT Engineers men's ice hockey season. The 1902–03 MIT Engineers men's ice hockey season was the 5th season of play for the program.

Season
The season began on a sour note when team member and ice hockey club president Frank Falvey died due to acute peritonitis. A game against Phillips Andover was cancelled as a result but the team did eventually return to the ice against Harvard. After the game against the Crimson, MIT cancelled the remainder of their season in honor of Falvey.

The team did not have a head coach but P. S. Crowell served as team manager.

Orangchon Power Stations. Orangchon Power Project is an ongoing hydroelectric construction project, described as North Korea's "most ambitious hydroelectric projects during the past thirty years". The project crosses 45 km of the Orang River and stretches through 40 km of water tunnels, past 4 dams and 5 power stations. The country estimates that the project will produce 134,500 kW in energy.

History 
The project began under the leadership of Kim Il Sung in 1981 but stagnated for a variety of reasons, but resumed in 2000 when Kim Jong Il visited the site and assigned "national priority" to the completion of the project. In 2018, Kim Jong Un visited the site and was reportedly "extremely furious" over lax management when he inspected the site.

Present 
In August 2022, the final power station was built, Orangchon Power Plant No.3, 41 years after North Korea's former leader Kim Il Sung first announced it. An audit statement of Power Plant No.3 concluded that the facility assembly and transmission line construction was performed well.

Jennifer Maynard. Jennifer Maynard is an American chemist who is the Henry Beckman Professor in Chemical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research considers the development of therapeutic targets for infectious diseases. She was elected a Senior Member of the National Academy of Inventors in 2023.

Early life and education 
Maynard was an undergraduate student in human biology at Stanford University. She moved to the University of Texas at Austin for doctoral research, where she studied antibody therapeutics. She then returned to Stanford as a postdoctoral fellow.

Research and career 
Maynard started her independent scientific career at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. She spent two years there, before returning to the University of Texas at Austin, where she was made the Henry Beckman Professor in 2018. Her research considers the use of protein engineering in structural biology.

In Texas, Maynard developed protein-based therapeutics for infectious diseases including Bordetella pertussis and cytomegalovirus (CMV). Maynard created T-cell receptors with antibody-like properties; specifically, they could attach to cells with CMV. Cytomegalovirus impacts more than half of adults over the age of 40. In healthy immune systems, cytomegalovirus lies dormant and T-cells detect and destroy infected cells. However, the T-cell defence is diminished in immunocompromised patients, which can make CMV life-threatening.

Maynard created an antibody that can neutralize the anthrax toxin, which was developed by Elusys Therapeutics as Anthim (Obiltoxaximab). The drug was approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat inhalation anthrax.

In 2021, Maynard joined the board of Releviate Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical company that looks to support patients with neuropathic pain.
