Tirur-Nilambur metro. Tirur-Nilambur metro or Malappuram Metro is a proposed rapid transit system for Malappuram metropolitan area, in India. In 2024, The Malappuram District Body has also examined the feasibility of implementing a metro rail project for the Malappuram metropolitan area and its suburbs. Tirur Constituency Legislator Kurukkoli Moideen has submitted an initial report on a detailed feasibility study on the feasibility of implementing the project and presented a motion in the Kerala Assembly for this purpose. This was first proposed in 2012 and then in 2025.

History

Tirur-Nilambur metro

In 2017, Licensed Engineers & Supervisors Federation-LENSFED proposed the Tirur-Nilambur Metro Line. The project report was submitted to the government and elected representatives. The project is planned to be constructed in multiple phases from Tirur to Ponnani and from Tirur to Nilambur. The total length of the route is 80 km. Most of the route is planned to be built on elevated rail tracks above the roads. In 2025, Tirur-Nilambur metro proposal for a metro line between Tirur and Nilambur in Malappuram was presented in the assembly in 2025. Kurukkoli Moideen of the Indian Union Muslim League raised the demand through a focus group resolution. Kurukoli opined that a metro-style railway line in the densely populated Malappuram district would help save travel distance, cost and time.

Malappuram Metro Rail

In 2012, Malappuram Metro Rail is a proposed mass transit system for the city by Lensfed (Licensed Engineers & Supervisors Federation). The proposal was considering the future urban scenario which would demand a transport system that can cater to the million plus population of the Malappuram urban agglomeration. In April 2012, Lensfed submitted detailed project report to Government which proposed 8 major stations and 9 intermediate stations out of which three elevated stations at Malappuram Central, Kondotty and Angadipuram. The alignment is similar to the proposed railway line of Calicut-Malappuram-Angadipuram. Apart from this, there is a proposal to extend proposed Kozhikode Light Metro Rail network to Malappuram during its third phase of expansion, paving a way to Calicut-Malappuram 'Urban Corridor' concept

Strings (conference). Strings is a series of international conferences on the topic of string theory and quantum gravity, held annually since 1988. It is a key event for the string theory community. In 2004, it gathered about 400 participants, with several more online. Important topics in string theory have been introduced for the first time during these conferences.

History 

The first conference, Strings '88 was held from May 24 to 28, 1988 at the University of Maryland, College Park. It was inspired by the International Workshop on Strings, Composite Structures and Cosmology held in the same venue a year before. 

The conferences were not that promising at first and some scientists suggested to stop the annual meetings, however it gained popularity in the 1990s. During Strings '95. Edward Witten discussed the concept of M-theory, sparking the second superstring revolution. In Strings '96, Tom Banks, Willy Fischler, Stephen Shenker, and Leonard Susskind introduced matrix theory; and during Strings '98, Jeffrey A. Harvey composed a song to celebrate Juan Maldacena recent discovery of AdS/CFT correspondence.

KSLV-III. KSLV-III is a medium orbit geostationary launch vehicle currently under development in South Korea, with the goal of its first launch in 2030.

History 
In February 2018, the Ministry of Science and ICT held a National Space Committee meeting and announced the 3rd Basic Plan for the Promotion of Space Development. In the launch vehicle sector, in order to establish a self-powered launch service foundation, a plan was established to foster a launch service ecosystem based on Nuri in the first stage from 2021 to 2025, and to secure price competitiveness through a domestic satellite launch mass production system in the second stage from 2026 to 2030.

On November 29, 2022, the MSIT held a meeting of the National Research and Development Project Evaluation Committee and passed the preliminary feasibility study for the Next-Generation Launch Vehicle Development Project; it was decided to develop the next-generation launch vehicle, KSLV-III, by investing 2.132 trillion won from 2023 to 2032.

In March 2024, Hanwha Aerospace was selected as the preferred bidder for the government-commissioned Next-Generation Launch Vehicle Development Project Launch Vehicle General Production project, passing the technology capability suitability assessment.

Design 
Compared to Nuri, which was developed in June 2021, KSLV-III is more advanced in comprehensive propulsion performance. Nuri's first stage thrust is 300 tons generated by four 75 tons liquid engines, but that of KSLV is 500 tons. 

The KSLV-III's payload is over 10 tons, and it can be used to build a space station or assemble a lunar lander. Methane engines, hydrogen engines, launch vehicle reuse research, and solid booster technology are also being handled by the KSLV-III project.

In November 2022, the MSIT announced that "unlike Naro-1 and Nuri, which were developed under the leadership of the Korea Aerospace Research Institute, we plan to enter into joint design of the KSLV-III with a system integration company."

Mission 

One of the most important missions is to transport the Korean lunar lander. It can send a 1.8-ton object to the moon. The launch vehicle is scheduled to be launched three times in total, and the main plan is as follows:

 2030: Performance verification satellite to test Lunar orbit insertion scheduled for launch
 2031: Lunar lander preliminary model scheduled for launch
 2032: Final model of lunar lander scheduled for launch

The preliminary model of the lunar lander will not carry any lunar exploration equipment and will only land on the moon. The final model, scheduled for launch in 2032, is expected to carry various exploration equipment.

Design-Build Institute of America. The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) is an American 501(c)(3) professional association for leaders in design and construction. The DBIA has corporate offices in Washington, D.C..

History
For most of the twentieth century, Design–bid–build was the traditional construction process. Starting in the 1980's, single entity Design–build was utilized by a minority of firms, partly because just two states permitted contractors to use design-build. After years of discussions with peers, Preston Haskell invited Jim Gray and other executives from major design-build companies to meet in Washington for a dinner to discuss the formation of an organization to represent their interests. That evening in February 1993 was the start of DBIA and Haskell became the first chairman of the board.

Today, just two states limit contractors' use of design-build. This is due to a history of successful projects and lobbying state legislatures.

Membership
The organization does not enumerate their number of members but claim their members include company/organizations; individual academics, architects, contractors, construction managers, engineers, government workers, finance/insurance/legal professionals, owners, consultants and students. Members have access to education, certification, and networking. DBIA divides the United States into 15 Regions and almost 50 local Chapters. Each region offers education, networking events and awards programs.

Certification
Member certification is based on a combination of education/testing and experience to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the best practices and principles during design phase, procurement and construction. DBIA refers to certification as "Design-Build Done Right®"

Awards
DBIA regions accept nominations each year for a Project/Team Merit Award.  Regional winners then compete for National Award of Excellence, “Best of” in several categories and a Project of the Year that are recognized at their year-end conference. There are also Distinguished Leadership Awards in three categories.

Patricia Brackin. Margueritte Patricia Dodd (Patsy) Brackin is an American mechanical engineer and engineering educator. She is a professor of mechanical engineering at the Rose–Hulman Institute of Technology, where she directs the engineering design program.

Education and career
Despite intending to become a mathematics teacher, Brackin studied nuclear engineering as an undergraduate at the University of Tennessee, at the time her least favorite of the schools she applied to and was accepted to, but the one that offered the best financial support for her schooling. She received a bachelor's degree in 1974 and continued for a master's degree in 1975. Next, she became an engineer for the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company, in Memphis, Tennessee, where she earned the nickname "hot pants" by setting her trousers on fire with a welder on her second day at work. She earned a master's degree in mathematical sciences from the University of Memphis in 1988, and became a night school engineering design teacher at Christian Brothers University in Memphis.

In the 1990s, with three children, she went through what she describes as a "mid-life crisis". She divorced her husband, moved from Memphis, and began graduate study in mechanical engineering at Georgia Tech, completing her Ph.D. there in 1997. Her doctoral dissertation, Translating the voice of the customer into preliminary design specifications, concerned the engineering design process, and was supervised by Jonathan S. Colton. Aiming to focus more on teaching and less on research, She took her present position at the Rose–Hulman Institute of Technology in 1995.

She began working with ABET on engineering accreditation in 2003. At Rose-Hulman, she directed the Operation Catapult summer program for high school students for 11 years, and became founding director of its engineering design program. Although she was already described as heading the new program in 2016, the program officially began in 2018, and was accredited by ABET in 2023.

Recognition
Brackin is a 2016 ASME Fellow, and a 2020 Fellow of ABET. She was the 2024 recipient of the Kate Gleason award of ASME, given "for outstanding contributions to undergraduate engineering education, development of design program curricula, and leadership in engineering accreditation".

The engineering design program at the Rose-Hulman Institute, founded and directed by Brackin, received the ABET Innovation Award in 2024.
