Rescue (1982 video game). Rescue is a twin-stick shooter designed by Chris Oberth and released by Stern as an arcade video game in 1982. The player flies a helicopter over the open sea to rescue stranded paratroopers from enemy forces and sharks. As the player-controlled helicopter flies left and right, the cloud layers move at different rates, giving a parallax scrolling effect.

Gameplay
The player pilots a helicopter over a body of water. Paratroopers drop from the top of the screen and land in the water. They can be picked up by carefully hovering so a short ladder drops, and they climb in. Being slightly too low and touching the water loses a life. A falling paratrooper is killed if it hits the player's helicopter.

Enemy helicopters attack the player and can be shot by moving the second joystick. The falling wreckage is deadly. A "bomb" button releases a projectile straight down for destroying sharks and submarines targeting paratroopers waiting for rescue.

Reception
Electronic Games reviewed Rescue in 1982. The reviewer commented: "With Rescue, everything ties together in a neat package that's not only fun to play, but increasingly challenging the further you're able to go into the mission."

Puente de Occidente. The Puente de Occidente (Bridge of the West), so named because it is located in western Antioquia, Colombia, is a suspension bridge that connects the municipalities of Olaya and Santa Fe de Antioquia, east and west of the Cauca River, respectively. At the time it was considered to be the third largest suspension bridge worldwide.

The bridge is a single suspension span supported from four pyramidal towers - two on each bank of the river - with each tower anchoring two cables. The span has a main central section which cars and smaller trucks can cross, and two pedestrian paths on either side of the central roadway. All three paths have wood upper surfaces. Construction started in 1887, under the direction of engineer José María Villa, after authorization by Marcelino Vélez, governor of Antioquia. The cables and other steel parts were purchased from England, while the towers were constructed of local materials. The Puente de Occidente was initially open only to pedestrian traffic; later, vehicles were allowed.

While today there are other, much longer suspension bridges in South America, originally the Puente de Occidente was the longest of its kind in the continent.  It was declared a National Monument of Colombia on 26 November 1978. José María Villa, who had been born nearby in Sopetrán, studied engineering at the Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey; after finishing his studies in the United States, he participated in the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. The structural system of the Puente de Occidente is similar to the suspension/cable-stayed hybrid used in the Brooklyn Bridge.

Significant restoration was performed in the early part of 2014.

CLiX (markup). Constraint Language in XML (CLiX) used to constrain the content of XML documents. It is based on first order logic and XPath, and its purpose is to enable the specification of constraints on the structure and content of XML documents. CLiX constraints can be used both to constraint documents internally and to execute inter-document checks between a number of documents. 

The goal of CLiX is to enable users and developers to express business properties and complex constraints that cannot be handled in traditional schema languages, and to automate checks that would otherwise have to be hard-coded.

Worst-case distance. In fabrication, the yield (Y = number of good samples/total number of samples) is one of the most important metrics. During the design phase, engineers aim to maximize yield by using simulation techniques and statistical models. Often, data follows a normal distribution, and for such distributions, there is a direct relationship between the design margin (relative to a given specification limit) and the yield. By expressing the specification margin in terms of standard deviation (sigma), yield (Y) can be calculated according to this specification. The concept of worst-case distance (WCD) extends this idea to more complex problems, such as non-normal distributions and multiple specifications.

WCD is a metric originally applied in electronic design for yield optimization and design centering, and it is now used as a metric for quantifying the robustness of electronic systems and devices.

In yield optimization for electronic circuit design, WCD relates the following yield-influencing factors:
 Statistical distribution of design parameters, typically based on the technology process 
 Operating range of conditions under which the design will function 
 Performance specification for performance parameters 

Although the strict mathematical formalism is complex, in a simplified interpretation, WCD is the maximum of all possible performance variances (i.e., within specification limits) divided by the distance to the performance specification, with the performance variances evaluated within the space defined by the operating range.

Slide hammer. A slide hammer is a tool that attaches to an object needing to be pulled and transmits an impact force to the object without striking the object itself.

Slide hammers typically consist of a long metal shaft with an attachment point at one end, a heavy weight that can slide along the shaft, and a stop for the weight to impact on the end opposite the attachment point. The inertia of the weight is thus transferred to the shaft, pulling the attached end in the direction the weight had been moving.

Slide hammers can be attached to objects in multiple ways including screw threads, hooks, and others.

Slide hammers are typically used in automotive repair to pull dents, remove bearings or other parts, and when an object needs to be struck from an inaccessible side. Car thieves have used them by attaching a screw to the end; the screw is then twisted into the ignition lock, allowing the whole assembly to be pulled out and the ignition wires to be accessed.

Empirical valence bond. In theoretical chemistry, the Empirical Valence Bond (EVB) approach is an approximation for calculating free-energies of a chemical reaction in condensed-phase. It was first developed by Israeli chemist Arieh Warshel, and was inspired by the way Marcus theory uses potential surfaces to calculate the probability of electron transfer.

Where most methods for reaction free-energy calculations require at least some part of the modeled system to be treated using quantum mechanics, EVB uses a calibrated Hamiltonian to approximate the potential energy surface of a reaction. For a simple 1-step reaction, that typically means that a reaction is modeled using 2 states. These states are valence bond descriptions of the reactants and products of the reaction. The function that gives the ground energy then becomes:

where  and  are the valence bond descriptions of the reactant and product state respectively, and  is the coupling parameter. The  and  potentials are usually modeled using force field descriptions  and .  is a bit trickier as it needs to be parameterized using a reference reaction. This reference reaction can be experimental, typically from a reaction in water or other solvents. Alternatively quantum chemical calculations can be used for calibration.

Free energy calculations 
To obtain free-energies from the created ground state energy potential one needs to perform sampling. This can be done using sampling methods like molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo simulations at different states along the reaction coordinates. Typically this is done using a free energy perturbation / umbrella sampling approach.

Application 
EVB has been successfully applied to calculating reaction free energies of enzymes. More recently it has been looked at as a tool to study enzyme evolution and to assist in enzyme design.

Hydrodenitrogenation. Hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) is an industrial process for the removal of nitrogen from petroleum.  Organonitrogen compounds, even though they occur at low levels, are undesirable because they cause poisoning of downstream catalysts.  Furthermore, upon combustion, organonitrogen compounds generate NOx, a pollutant.  HDN is effected as general hydroprocessing, which traditionally focuses on hydrodesulfurization (HDS) because sulfur compounds are even more problematic.  To some extent, hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) is also effected.

Typical organonitrogen compounds in petroleum include quinolines and porphyrins and their derivatives.  The total nitrogen content is typically less than 1% and the targeted levels are in the ppm range. As described in organic geochemistry, organonitrogen compounds are derivatives or degradation products of the compounds in the living matter that comprised the precursor to fossil fuels.  In HDN, the organonitrogen compounds are treated at high temperatures with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, the net transformation being:
R3N + 3 H2 → 3 RH + NH3

The catalysts generally consist of cobalt and nickel as well as molybdenum disulfide or less often tungsten disulfide supported on alumina. The precise composition of the catalyst, i.e. Co/Ni and Mo/W ratios, are tuned for particular feedstocks.  A wide variety of catalyst compositions have been considered, including metal phosphides.
