Hans Hertz. Hans Martin Hertz, born 22 August 1955, is a Swedish physicist and professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

Biography

Hertz was born in Lund, Sweden, to Carl Hellmuth Hertz and his wife Birgit Nordbring. He is the grandson of Gustav Ludwig Hertz and the great great nephew of Heinrich Hertz. His father was a professor in Physics at Lund University and his mother was a professor in microbial ecology.

Hertz studied Engineering physics and received his doctorate in Atomic physics from Lund University 1988. After a postdoc at Stanford University he returned to Lund to create his own research group. In 1997 Hertz was appointed professor in biomedical physics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Between December 2013 and June 2018 he was Chair of the Board of MAX IV, the first 4th generation synchrotron in the world.

Hertz was elected member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 2007 and the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in 2008. In 2016, he was nominated to the prestigious Polhem Prize together with his former doctoral student Oscar Hemberg for their invention of Liquid-metal-jet sources.

Research
Hertz has worked on cell manipulation with ultrasound, development of laboratory sources for Soft x-ray microscopy, and X-ray microfocus sources. The last research topic evolved into the Liquid-metal-jet source which is an order of magnitude brighter than conventional X-ray tubes. This is useful in techniques such as Phase-contrast X-ray imaging, Small-angle X-ray scattering, and X-ray crystallography.

Esemka Bima. The Esemka Bima is a series of pickup trucks and vans manufactured by the Indonesian carmaker Esemka. It is the first product that being mass-produced by the company, mainly locally assembled at Solo Manufaktur Kreasi (SMK, pronounced "esemka" in Indonesian) manufacturing facility in Boyolali, Central Java for pickup truck models. The Bima was launched on 6 September 2019. A total of 26 local component manufacturers supplied parts for the pickup, including INKA. The company claimed the Bima is built with 60–62 percent of locally produced parts. Despite being built locally, the blueprint design of the Bima is allegedly identical to the Changan, Jinbei, and Shineray pickup trucks, although the company did not confirm this explicitly.

The battery electric van variant was launched on 16 February 2023 at the 30th Indonesia International Motor Show as the Bima EV. Based on the 1.3 model, it is imported from China instead of being manufactured locally for study and technology transfer reasons.

History 

The Bima nameplate was first registered in 2012, along with the Rajawali SUV. Esemka claimed that they would be partnered with Chinese carmakers Chery and Foday to build the car at the time. The Bima was proposed to be a low-cost pickup truck equipped with a 1.1-litre petrol engine and would be targeted to rural farmers. Later in 2013, 40 units of the Bima and Rajawali had been delivered.

Diffo Bridge. Diffo Bridge is a pre-stressed concrete box girder bridge over the Diffo river (Chipu river) in Arunachal Pradesh, India. This  long bridge was inaugurated in 2019 by the Union Defense Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.

Construction
The construction started in 2011 by Border Roads Organisation under Project Udayak. It was built for an estimated cost of , which was funded by the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. Tough working conditions in an inhospitable terrain facing turbulent flash floods, made construction difficult. It was completed in 8 years. The bridge was inaugurated by the Union Defense Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on 18 January 2019.

Significance

Earlier, Indian Defense Forces had laid the Bailey bridge over the Diffo River. It was a temporary structure that had to be closed during most  rains. The new bridge provides uninterrupted access between Dibang Valley and Lohit valley of Eastern Arunachal Pradesh on Roing-Koron-Paya Road. Lohit valley is the corridor that leads to Kibithu, the battleground of the 1962 Indo-Sino war and Lower Dibang Valley leads to the Anini front of border with China. The bridge reduced traveling time between Tezu and Roing (district headquarters of Lohit Valley and Lower Dibang Valley respectively) from 3 hours to 45 minutes. During a monsoon, the old route took travelers through Assam. Strategically, it provides an all-weather route for troops deployed on the China border (the McMahon line).

List of sapphires by size. This is a list of sapphires by size.

Sapphire 
Sapphires are a precious gemstone, a variety of the mineral corundum, consisting of aluminum oxide () with trace amounts of elements such as iron, titanium, chromium, copper, or magnesium. It is typically blue, but natural "fancy" sapphires also occur in yellow, purple, orange, and green colors; "parti sapphires" show two or more colors. The only color corundum stone that the term sapphire is not used for is red, which is called a ruby. Pink colored corundum may be either classified as ruby or sapphire depending on locale. 
Commonly, natural sapphires are cut and polished into gemstones and worn in jewelry. They also may be created synthetically in laboratories for industrial or decorative purposes in large crystal boules. Because of the remarkable hardness of sapphires – 9 on the Mohs scale (the third hardest mineral, after diamond at 10 and moissanite at 9.5) –  sapphires are also used in some non-ornamental applications, such as infrared optical components, high-durability windows, wristwatch crystals and movement bearings, and very thin electronic wafers, which are used as the insulating substrates of special-purpose solid-state electronics such as integrated circuits and GaN-based blue LEDs.

Sapphire is the birthstone for September and the gem of the 45th anniversary. A sapphire jubilee occurs after 65 years.

Toledo and Indiana Railway. The Toledo and Indiana Railway, Inc., was a combined electric interurban railroad and electric company that operated between Toledo, Ohio, and Bryan, Ohio, via Stryker, Ohio, from 1901 to 1939.

History
The Toledo & Indiana Railway, Inc., was incorporated in 1901 to construct an electric interurban line west from Toledo to Stryker, Ohio, and was extended in 1905 to Bryan, Ohio. The line ran parallel to the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway (later the New York Central) on the north side of that alignment.

It was envisioned as being a link to Indianapolis, Indiana, and Chicago, Illinois. These expansions and connections were not completed. A branch of the Garrett, Auburn and Northern Electric Railroad from Waterloo, Indiana, to Bryan was never constructed. The line offered more frequent service at lower fares than the adjacent steam road. It had 31 stations on its 57-mile line between Toledo and Bryan. At its peak, Toledo was served by eleven interurban companies.

“In 1905, the T. & I. constructed a power plant near the Tiffin River in Stryker, and rails were extended to Bryan. Later that year, the T. & I. completed a car maintenance and storage facility east of its power plant and erected a combination passenger/freight depot on East Lynn Street in Stryker. The T. & I. power plant helped electrify northwest Ohio, bringing much of the area into the ‘modern age.’”

“As highways and secondary roads improved, and automobiles and trucks became more common, interurban railways struggled financially. In July 1939, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio approved the T. & I’s request to abandon its interurban rail line.

“On October 15, 1939, T. & I. Car 115 made the last trip over the rail line piloted by Lendall W. Vernier of Stryker.”

The last T. & I. car arrived at the Vulcan station near the University of Toledo in 1939.

Portions of the abandoned right-of-way can still be seen. On September 23, 2006, an Ohio Historical Marker recognizing Stryker's rich railroad heritage was dedicated at the Stryker depot.  The passenger station for the line through Wauseon became the Dyer & McDermott store downtown.

John Insprucker. John L. Insprucker (born October 7, 1956) is an American aerospace engineer and retired Air Force colonel currently working at SpaceX as a Principal Integration Engineer. He is honored on the National Air and Space Museum's Wall of Honor.

In 1978, at age 22, Insprucker joined the U.S. Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps program at the University of Michigan. He spent his entire career dedicated to space launch operations, space rocket development and spacecraft development and deployment, even doing a five-year service between 2000 and 2005 at Vandenberg Air Force Base Space Launch Complex-4, which is currently being leased out to SpaceX.

Career at Vandenberg Air Force Base 
Insprucker began serving at Vandenberg in 1980 as a pad, payload and rocket technician. During his first five years he helped with the success of 17 Titan NIB and IIID/34D launches and 9 Agena upper stages. He then went to join the Secretary of the Air Force's Special Project Office as head of the Spacecraft Attitude control division. During this time he participated in developing the software used for reconnaissance satellites for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), where he was commended for saving a damaged satellite from an Attitude Control System (ACS) failure. Whilst working with the NRO, Insprucker led a 60-person department to manufacture a $2.5 billion NRO Space system. He also served as a program manager for a $700M follow-on satellite. Between 2000 and 2005, he was stationed at Vandenberg Air Force Base where he successfully launched 11 Titan II and Titan IVB rockets first as the deputy program manager from 2000 to 2002, and then as commander of the Titan program from 2003 to 2004. On August 13, 2003, a Titan IVB at Cape Canaveral Launch Complex 40 suffered a nitrogen tetroxide leak caused by faulty fuel pump. Insprucker announced on October 3, 2003, that leak was result of a malfunction with the propellant pump and not an issue related to the Lockheed Martin propellant team. From December 13, 2003, through to November 30, 2005, he led the operation of the Delta IV and Atlas V rockets. During this time, he was the director for the inaugural flight of the Delta IV Heavy, which at the time was the most powerful, active rocket.

Work at SpaceX 
On 27 November 2006, Insprucker extended his part-time contract at SpaceX to a full-time contract where Elon Musk entrusted him to oversee the development of the Falcon 9. He currently holds the position as a Principal Integration Engineer at SpaceX. 

Insprucker is a frequent host of SpaceX launch webcasts, including the COTS-2 demo flight (first private spacecraft to dock to the ISS), first re-flight of a rocket (SES-10), Falcon Heavy Demo Flight, the Dragon in-flight abort test, Demo-2 (first crewed SpaceX launch), as well as Starship test flights.

CIRENE. CIRENE is an Italian nuclear reactor design and the name of the prototype model that was built at the Latina Nuclear Power Plant south of Rome. CIRENE, an acronym for CISE Reattore a Nebbia (CISE Mist Reactor), uses heavy water as its neutron moderator and normal "light" boiling water as the coolant. This reduces the amount of heavy water required for operations compared to CANDU, still using natural uranium as fuel. CIRENE was one of several similar heavy/light water designs, with similar small-scale units at Gentilly in Canada, SGHWR in the United Kingdom and Fugen in Japan.

Development of the reactor design began in 1950s at CISE and then at CNEN with Enel. A contract was signed in 1972 with Ansaldo to build a 40 MWe prototype at the Latina station. In contrast to similar prototypes, the modular construction of the CIRENE design meant the plant would be very similar to an actual production site in spite of its smaller size. Construction faced numerous delays and the site was still not complete in 1987 when nuclear development in Italy ended. Construction was allowed to continue, as opposed to canceling ongoing contracts, and the plant was completed in 1988. It was then abandoned, never having been loaded with fuel.

CIRENE was one of several reactor designs being researched in Italy, which also included advanced light water designs with US companies and fast breeder reactors in partnership with France and Germany. CIRENE was ultimately the only one these that progressed to the prototype phase; after the Chernobyl accident a 1987 referendum ended the development of nuclear power in Italy and since then all existing reactors have been shut down.
