William Edward Gibbs. William Edward Gibbs (1890 – 18 January 1934) was the second Ramsay Memorial Professor of Chemical Engineering at University College London. He was the second head of the department replacing the first, E. C. Williams.

Career

Gibbs completed his graduation at the University of Liverpool taking his first post with the Straits Trading Company in Singapore as an Assistant Chemist. He returned to the University of Liverpool as a lecturer in Metallurgy, where he researched the issue of the recovery of tin from the waste material by using electro chemical recovery. He was also made an investigator with the Corrosion Committee at the Institute of Metals.

During the First World War, Gibbs held the post of chief examiner of the Aeronautical Inspection Department, before becoming the chief chemist at the Royal Navy's rolling mill at Weston, Southampton. At the end of the war, he was appointed the chief chemist at the Salt Union, where he gained great experience in the methods and problems of evaporation and crystallisation.

In 1924, Gibbs gave the general name aerosol to the dispers systems in air.  See in this context Clouds and Smokes, page 8. 

In 1928, Gibbs was appointed as the successor to E. C. Williams, as  Ramsay professor for chemical engineering at University College, London. Due to his predecessor's fund raising activities with British chemical companies, the university was planning a large expansion of the department, which Gibbs designed and carried out, concluding with the opening of the new Ramsey Laboratory in 1932. In 1930, Gibbs was an expert witness in the case of United Lamp Black Works vs. Greenwich Borough Council.

Death

In January 1934, Gibbs died suddenly at the age of 44. He was replaced as the Ramsay professor by H. E. Watson.

ETAP 30cq. The ETAP 30cq is a Belgian sailboat that was designed by Marc-Oliver von Ahlen as  a cruiser and first built in 2010. The interior was designed by Stile Bertone.

The design replaced the ETAP 28s in the company line in about 2011.

Production
The design has been built by ETAP Yachting in Belgium starting in 2010. It remained advertised as still in production in 2021.

Design
The ETAP 30cq is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre. The construction is of a polyester glassfibre and closed-cell polyurethane foam sandwich, which provides buoyancy and makes the boat unsinkable. It has a 7/8 fractional sloop rig, a plumb stem, a walk-through reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or optional dual tandem keels. The fin keel version displaces  and carries  of ballast, while the tandem keel version displaces  and carries  of ballast.

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

The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo Penta D1-20 diesel engine of  for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds  and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a transversely mounted double berth. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the navigation station on the starboard side. There is a stowage area in the forepeak. The headroom at the companionway is .

Operational history
The boat was at one time supported by a class club, the ETAP Owners Association.

Ira Osborn Baker. Ira Osborn Baker was an engineering professor at the University of Illinois and author.

Biography
Baker was born in Linton, Indiana, on Sep. 23 1853 the son of Amanda Osborn Baker and Hiram Walker Baker.  Baker enrolled at the University of Illinois in March 1871 and graduated in civil engineering in 1874, to become an assistant in civil engineering and physics and then in charge of the department in 1878.
He was in charge of the civil engineering department for 39 years, with an overall teaching career spanning 48 years.
His married his first wife Emma Burr on 1877-08-05 and his second wife Angie Ewing Ritter on 1913-08-07, and died on 1925-11-08.

Treatise on Masonry Construction
As an author, he was widely known for his 1889 Treatise on Masonry Construction which was the first comprehensive book on the subject.
He also collaborated with William A. Radford.
At the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition he led the division on engineering education, which formed the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education (SPEE).

A contemporary review in the New York Engineering and Building Record described the Treatise as a broad and satisfactory treatment of the subject, with a few areas worthy of improvement.
The reviewer called Baker's "almost unqualified approval of dolomites" questionable, noting that New York engineers found local sources of such material substandard.
The reviewer also took issue with the illustrations for kinds of masonry and finished surfaces, which Baker had taken from a report of the American Society of Civil Engineers, observing that they were not up to the quality of the other illustrations in the book, and were somewhat misleading as rather than being illustrations of good quality work were in fact pictures of farm fences in Connecticut.
Other points that the reviewer took issue with were the use of concrete to make pneumatic foundations watertight, the reviewer asserting that "no amount of concrete will do this".

The reviewer observed an omission of a 1889 expert Report of the New York Aqueduct Commission, and the lack of a chapter on inspection, given the likelihood that the engineering students that the book was originally aimed at would likely find themselves doing masonry inspection after graduation.
Conversely, the book's index, and its various tables and diagrams were described as "good"; with theoretical problems "simply and clearly stated" and typical specifications "well selected".

By 1909, the book was in its tenth edition, revised and enlarged from the first.
An example of a professional engineer's use of the Treatise was published as  in the same Engineering and Building Record.

Japanese destroyer Sumire (1921). The Japanese destroyer {{nihongo|Sumire|菫|}} was one of 21 s built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) in the late 1910s. In 1940, she was decommissioned and then converted into a training ship, before later being re-converted into the auxiliary ship Mitaka (三高) on February 23, 1945. She was finally scrapped in 1948.

Design and description
The Momi class was designed with higher speed and better seakeeping than the preceding  second-class destroyers. The ships had an overall length of  and were  between perpendiculars. They had a beam of , and a mean draft of . The Momi-class ships displaced  at standard load and  at deep load. Sumire was powered by two Zoelly geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft using steam provided by three Kampon water-tube boilers. The turbines were designed to produce  to give the ships a speed of . The ships carried a maximum of  of fuel oil which gave them a range of  at . Their crew consisted of 110 officers and crewmen.

The main armament of the Momi-class ships consisted of three  Type 3 guns in single mounts; one gun forward of the well deck, one between the two funnels, and the last gun atop the aft superstructure. The guns were numbered '1' to '3' from front to rear. The ships carried two above-water twin sets of  torpedo tubes; one mount was in the well deck between the forward superstructure and the bow gun and the other between the aft funnel and aft superstructure.

Construction and career
Sumire, built at the Ishikawajima shipyard in Tokyo, was laid down on November 24, 1920, launched on December 14, 1921, and completed on March 31, 1923. She serviced in her role for 17 years before being decommissioned on February 1, 1940. She was then converted into a training ship and later re-converted into the auxiliary ship Mitaka (三高) on February 23, 1945. She survived World War II to be surrendered and was scrapped in 1948.

Contrastive Hebbian learning. Contrastive Hebbian learning is a biologically plausible form of Hebbian learning.

It is based on the contrastive divergence algorithm, which has been used to train a variety of energy-based latent variable models.

In 2003, contrastive Hebbian learning was shown to be equivalent in power to the backpropagation algorithms commonly used in machine learning.

Metallurgical Worker and Metallurgical Science. Metallurgical Worker and Metallurgical Science are a duo set of 1903 bronze sculptures by Jean-Léon Gérôme. The pair of works commissioned from the artist by the steel magnate Charles M. Schwab to glorify to steel industry. Schwab paid for a steel worker to travel to Paris to sit for the sculptures.  The works were displayed at the industry captain's 75 room mansion on Riverside Drive New York City until its demolition in 1947.  Ge was introduced to Gérôme by Maurice Herbert, the French architect who designed his French Renaissance style home, once the largest in New York City.

The works were later gifted to the Allentown Art Museum. The monumental pieces are currently displayed outside on the recently inaugurated Allentown Arts Walk.   The statues appeared at the Paris Salon of 1904 by which time the artist had died.
