Réacteur Université de Strasbourg. The Réacteur Universitaire de Strasbourg (RUS) was a 100 kW thermal Argonaut-class reactor built at the University Louis-Pasteur, located in the commune of Schiltigheim near Strasbourg. RUS went critical on 22 November 1966 and ended operations on 31 May 1995. Its decommissioning was finalized in 2009.

History 
The design of university training reactor RUS was based on the Argonaut research reactor developed by the Argonne National Laboratory in the mid-1950s, in the United States. A second Argonaut-class reactor, the Ulysse reactor, was already in operation in France at the Saclay research centre of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission. The University Reactor of Strasbourg was the Basic Nuclear Installation (BNI) No. 44.

The reactor core consisted of  an internal graphite neutron reflector surrounded by a ring of MTR-type nuclear fuel elements with an average 235U enrichment of 92.5% and an external graphite neutron reflector. The highly enriched uranium (93%) was supplied by the United States.

The reactor was primarily a research instrument for conducting experimental irradiations, activation-based analysis of nuclear chemistry, solid-state physics, biology and the production of short-lived radioisotopes. A variety of cavities were available, including a 7.3-metre "biological cavity", to perform those experiments. Pneumatic conveyor systems make short irradiations possible to immediately study the irradiated materials in the laboratories adjacent to the reactor hall.

The final shutdown of the RUS reactor was decided in February 2006. The RUS reactor was dismantled from August 2006 to December 2008. The final decommissioning of INB No. 44 was pronounced in October 2012.

Oswald S. Williams Jr.. Oswald S. Williams Jr. (1921–2005) was an American aeronautical engineer, businessman, and academic. Williams worked on a number of notable engineering projects, and eventually became the vice president of Grumman International. According to some sources, Williams was the second African-American to earn a degree in aeronautical engineering.

Biography 
Williams was born in 1921, and grew up in Washington D.C and New York City. Williams developed an interest in aviation from a young age, and was noted to have enjoyed making model airplanes. He attended Boys High School in Brooklyn, and would go on to enroll in New York University's School on Engineering in 1938. Williams graduated in 1942, during the height of the United States' involvement in World War II, as the second African-American to earn a degree in aeronautical engineering. Despite the war causing a massive expansion of the aviation industry, Williams - as an African-American - was not considered for many jobs. He found employment at the Pitcairn Autogiro Company in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, where he worked on glider aircraft. At the end of 1942 he started work at Republic Aviation Group (he gained an interview by bluffing his way into a Republic facility), where he worked until 1947. He earned a master's degree in aeronautical engineering from NYU that same year.

In the postwar period, Williams was employed at a New York hydraulics company, where he was employed from 1951 to 1957 working on developing a direction beacon for the United States Air Force. From 1956 to 1961 he worked at Thiokol, helping to develop and test liquid rocket engines. After departing Thiokol, Williams was employed at Grumman Aircraft, where he would work from 1961 to 1986. At Grumman, Williams played a key role in the development and production of thrusters used on the Apollo Lunar Module. During the aborted Apollo 13 mission, part of Williams' team's design proved vital to the module's survival, and the team was later thanked in person by the Apollo 13 crew. Williams would go on to conduct business for Grumman abroad, and would later rise to be vice president of marketing at Grumman International.

Williams earned an MBA from St. John's University in 1981. Following his retirement from Grumman in 1986, Williams became a professor at St. John's University, teaching marketing. He continued to teach for 12 years.

Williams died in 2005. His name is present on the National Air and Space Museum's wall of honor.

Personal life 
Williams married Doris Louise Reid in 1942. The couple had three children.

Williams was a member of the American Rocket Society and the Nigerian-American Chamber of Commerce. He was awarded with an associate fellowship from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics for his work in the 1950s.

He was a lifetime supporter of the NAACP.

Rudolph Laver. Rudolph Laver (19 July 1872 in Castlemaine, Victoria – September 1946 in Berlin) was an Australian-German electrical engineer.

Biography

Rudolph Laver was one of seven sons of farmer Jonas Laver (1819-1880) from Somerset and of Mary Ann née Fry (†1885). In 1899 Rudolph Laver emigrated to Germany, studied electrical engineering in Karlsruhe and Charlottenburg, and was naturalized in Germany in 1915. Laver was director at the power plant company Bergmann Elektrizitätswerke in Berlin. With the outbreak of World War I, large parts of the Bergmann works were converted to armaments production, and Laver was released from his work.  In 1934 Laver replaced the then managing director Martin Rosenfeld of the Paul Bouveron GmbH.  The name of the company changed to Transformatorenfabrik Rudolph Laver vormals Paul Bouveron GmbH. After his death, his widow Klara, née Rothweiler, inherited the company.

Charles Babbage Premium. The Charles Babbage Premium was an annual award "for an outstanding paper on the design or use of electronic computers".

The award was established in 1959. It was initiated by the British Institution of Radio Engineers, which became the Institution of Electronic and Radio Engineers. In 1988, it merged with the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE), which later became the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) in 2006. Winners have been announced in journals such as Nuclear Power, Electronic Engineering, British Communications and Electronics, and the Software Engineering Journal.

The Premium was named after the mathematician Charles Babbage FRS (1791–1871), inventor of the Analytical Engine, a design for an early mechanical computer.

The IET now makes separate Premium Awards for papers in each of its journals, named after the journal itself. This includes the IET Software Premium Award, the nearest equivalent to the Charles Babbage Premium Award.

Belgian Railways Class 35. NMBS/SNCB Class AM35 (Automotrice 35 French for Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) – 1935 [after their year of construction] - in Dutch they were MS35, the MS standing for MotorStel) were electric multiple unit trains operated by the National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS/SNCB).  First used in service on May 5, 1935 (a century to the day after the founding of the Belgian Railways) along the first electric line between Brussels and Antwerp.

Twelve Electric Multiple Units consisting of four carriages set ran at 120 kilometres per hour between the two cities.

Technical Details
The EMUs consisted of two motorized cars at the ends and two infill trailers. Two manufacturers were selected for the power cars: 12 were built by the Société Anonyme la Métallurgique (Nivelles) and fitted with ACEC electrical equipment, the other 12 were assembled by the Ateliers de la Dyle (Leuven) and equipped by SEM (Société d'Électricité et de Mécanique).

The units were delivered in “blue and beige livery, fluid lines and detailed finishing” and proved quite popular with the travelling public. They featured an interior design by Belgian architect and designer Henry van de Velde, who was then artistic advisor for the Belgian National Railways. After World War Two, they were repainted in two tones of green, with large yellow visibility bands added shortly thereafter.

In 1939, 16 additional trailers were built in order to increase capacity during peak hours, creating 8 six-car sets. These new unpowered carriages were uncoupled and parked aside during low ridership hours.

History

The units were designed within the framework of the Universal Exhibition in Brussels in 1935, conceived as a chic and modern way to link Brussels and Antwerp. They were Belgium's first electric units. The AM35 EMU's were withdrawn from passenger service between 1959 and 1962 due to the heavy wear and tear they inflicted on the rails; several power cars were refurbished into mail trains for the Belgian postal service in 1967–1968. These mail trains were withdrawn in 1988.

Preservation
A four car set was kept in working order by Belgian State Railways; the leading car was later put on display at Train World while postal unit 002 is in private hands.

Most of the trailers were converted into service vehicles (measuring coaches, cinema car and track worker accommodation). The cinema coach is preserved in Maldegem and some mobile track worker “camp cars” are still in use.

Disperse Yellow 42. Disperse Yellow 42, or 4-anilino-3-nitrobenzenesulfonanilide, is a disperse dye that is primarily used to dye polyester fibers. It is prepared by the reaction of two equivalents of aniline with 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride. An estimated 10,000 tons were prepared in 1990, making Disperse Yellow 42 the nitro dye produced on the largest scale.

TRANSYT. TRANSYT (TRAffic Network StudY Tool) is traffic engineering software developed by the Transport Research Laboratory. It is used to model signalised highway networks and has the ability to model platooning.

The current release is version 16.

Method
The user inputs saturation flows and observed traffic flows on the relevant highway links which are controlled by signals. TRANSYT then optimises the green time for each signal to minimise the overall number of stops and delay time.

Worldwide use
The software was developed in the UK and the first version was released in 1967. It has been adapted for use in other countries, including Chile, where TRANSYT 8S was used from the late 1980s to improve traffic flow in the capital, Santiago.

In the US, the Federal Highway Administration adapted the product into TRANSYT-7F.

Other software
TRANSYT's main competitor is LINSIG.

Disperse Red 60. Disperse Red 60, or 1-amino-4-hydroxy-2-phenoxyanthraquinone, is a popular disperse dye of the anthraquinone family of dyes. It is a dark red solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in dichloromethane.

Because Disperse Red 60 is produced on a large scale, its disposal or degradation has received considerable attention.

Sarah Peters. Sarah Peters is an American politician and environmental engineer serving as a member of the Nevada Assembly. Peters represents the 24th district, which includes Downtown Reno, Nevada.

Early life and education 
Peters was born in 1987 in Silver City, Nevada. She earned a Bachelor of Science in environmental engineering from the University of Nevada, Reno and later worked as a project manager. She was the vice-chair and secretary of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration's Reno chapter.

Career 
After graduating from college, Peters worked as an engineering intern. In 2015, she became a certified environmental manager. Peters was elected to the Nevada Assembly, defeating three Democratic opponents in the 2018 primary, including one challenger who was supported by the Nevada Assembly Democratic caucus and marijuana industry. She took office on November 7, 2018 after receiving 16,000 votes and facing no challenger. She stated that in the 2019 legislative session she would focus on indigenous rights, environmental issues, and healthcare.

A day after she came out publicly as pansexual, Peter she presented a bill that would require "all single-occupancy public restrooms be gender-neutral". She has also introduced legislation that she describes as strengthening indigenous sovereignty rights within tribal jurisdictions. She sponsored a piece of legislation which made neon the official element of Nevada and encouraged state residents to enroll in health insurance programs. Other bills she has co-sponsored include making "all marijuana testing data" publicly available through a searchable database, strengthening voting rights, and supported an effort which opposed the United States Air Force's acquisition of 1.1 million acres in the Desert National Wildlife Refuge for a bombing range. She is the vice chair of the Health and Human Services committee and sits on two other committees.

Personal
Peters is married to Matt, a Marine veteran. She came out as bisexual to her family at age 16. In March 2021, she came out publicly as pansexual on the floor of the Nevada Assembly as a part of a speech in support of the Nevada Equal Rights Amendment. Peters told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that at first, because she had a husband and children, she did not speak about her pansexuality, but she later changed her opinion, believing it was an opportunity to come out and support LGBTQ people.

Peters is one of three openly pansexual legislators in the United States, along with Mary González of Texas and Lisa Bunker of New Hampshire. Additionally, she is the first lawmaker in Nevada that identifies as pansexual.
