Engineer Islands. The Engineer Islands are an archipelago in the Solomon Sea belonging to Papua New-Guinea.

Geography

The Engineer Islands belong to Milne Bay Province, and are one of the groups forming the Louisiade Archipelago.  They are located on the western edge of Louisiade archipelago, east of Basilaki and south of Normanby . The islands form an unusual group consisting of high islands, low coral islands, atolls and underwater reefs, which are located in a radius of  away. The three largest islands lie on the southwestern part of the group. They are: Tubetube (Slade Island), Naruaruari (Skelton Island ) and Kwaraiwa (Watts island), each about  long and about  wide. The islands are hilly with elevations of up to  (at Slade Island). The eastern boundary of the Engineer group is marked by a crescent-shaped reef, on which the four low islands Hummock, Haszard, Button and Flat are located. In the center of the archipelago there is a reef with a semi-enclosed lagoon. on it, the islands Powell and Pender lying on the western side while Messum Island is on the eastern side.

Climate
Engineer islands have a tropical rainforest climate (Af) with heavy to very heavy rainfall year-round. The following climate data is for Slade island.

Administration
There are several more island groups that belong to the Engineer Islands Ward:

The Shortland Islands are located  to the northwest.
Laseinie Islands (with Koyagaugau (Dawson Island)) are located  to the north.
Kegawam Islands are located  to the north.

History
John Moresby discovered the islands in 1873 and named them in honor of the English Engineers of his steamboat HMS Basilisk. The islands were named after the individual crew members from the engine room: Slade, Skelton, Watts, Butchart, Bright, among others.

Population
There are 4 inhabited islands, with the main village Gegadali located on Watts Island.
The inhabitants of the archipelago speak Bwanabwana Language.

Jerome S. Spevack. Jerome S. "J.S." Spevack was an American scientist, inventor, and engineer who developed the "dual temperature exchange sulphide process" (known as the Girdler sulfide process) in 1943 while working on the Manhattan Project. This is regarded as the most cost-effective process for producing heavy water. A parallel development of this process was also achieved in 1943 by German physical chemist Karl-Hermann Geib.

Post-war period 
After World War II, Spevack became president of Deuterium of Canada Limited (DCL)  and, in 1974, won a lawsuit  against the United States government and its Atomic Energy Commission receiving protection, and compensation of , over their use of the Girdler sulfide process without his consent.

Keio Alpha. Keio Alpha is a student design team formed by a group of postgraduate students from Graduate School of System Design and Management, Keio University, Japan. In July 2015, the team accepted an invitation from Elon Musk to submit design entries for an open-source pod that would advance Hyperloop technology development, in the SpaceX-sponsored Hyperloop pod competition.

The team was founded by David Chew Vee Kuan with his faculty advisor, Prof Yoshiaki Ohkami, to build a team of four students to submit a preliminary design to SpaceX for review.
The team proposed the vision of Hyperloop System in connecting satellite cities with major cities of distance more than 500 km but able to travel at speed of plane and at the convenience of a train. People able to move from the place they live and the place they work where could be 500 km apart but only 30minutes away. The team proposed a pod design using Magnetic Levitation, Light Vacuum Tolerant Vehicle System, Magnetic Brake System and Safety System Architecture in their design proposal.
Following review of the high-level design, the team was invited to the Design Weekend at Texas A&M University on 29–30 January 2016 to present their ideas and design to panel of judges along with other 120 teams.
Keio Alpha Hyperloop Team was selected as one of the 30 finalist teams to build, and then race, their pod in the prototype vacuum tube test track adjacent to SpaceX Headquarters at Hawthorne, (Los Angeles) California, USA.

Scanning electron cryomicroscopy. Scanning electron cryomicroscopy (CryoSEM) is a  form of electron microscopy where a hydrated but cryogenically fixed sample is imaged on a scanning electron microscope's cold stage in a cryogenic chamber. The cooling is usually achieved with liquid nitrogen. CryoSEM of biological samples with a high moisture content can be done faster with fewer sample preparation steps than conventional SEM. In addition, the dehydration processes needed to prepare a biological sample for a conventional SEM chamber create numerous distortions in the tissue leading to structural artifacts during imaging.

Fluorcarmoite-(BaNa). Fluorcarmoite-(BaNa) is a rare phosphate mineral, belonging to arrojadite group, with the formula Ba[]Na2Na2[]CaMg13Al(PO4)11(PO3OH)F2. It is a barium-rich member of the group, as is arrojadite-(BaNa), arrojadite-(BaFe), fluorarrojadite-(BaFe) and an unapproved species ferri-arrojadite-(BaNa). The "-(BaNa)" suffix informs about the dominance of the particular elements (here barium and sodium) at the corresponding structural sites.

Arrojadite group
The arrojadite group is defined in form of the complex, general formula A2B2CaNa2+xM13Al(PO4)11(PO3OH1−x)W2, where:
 A = large divalent cations (barium, lead, strontium) and vacancy ([]), eventually monovalent cations (potassium, sodium)
 B = small divalent cations (iron, manganese, magnesium) and vacancy ([]), eventually sodium
 M = Fe2+ (this gives the root name arrojadite) or Mn2+ (root name dickinsonite), or eventually Mg
 W = hydroxyl group or fluorine
The two suffixes in the name correspond to A1 and B1 sites. Third suffix may be present in special cases.

Boston Sand & Gravel. Boston Sand and Gravel is a supplier of ready-to-pour concrete, concrete blocks, sand, and crushed stone, with operations and subsidiaries around eastern Massachusetts and New Hampshire in the United States.

The Charlestown, Massachusetts, plant is a highly visible landmark for commuters on the north side of Boston, because it is located between the Central Artery North (part of Interstate 93) and the MBTA Commuter Rail tracks just north of North Station.  Its tower directly abuts the new Leverett Connector, and the ramps connecting the Zakim Bridge with the Tobin Bridge completely surround the plant, which supplied concrete for the Big Dig project which constructed them.

The company was founded in 1914, and was originally located where the CambridgeSide Galleria is now. The spot was convenient to the Charles River because materials were originally sourced from dredging. Later, the company began obtaining raw material from quarries in Ossipee, New Hampshire, and Hooksett, New Hampshire.

Boston Sand and Gravel owns railroad track from Ossipee to Rollinsford, New Hampshire, through its railroad subsidiary, the New Hampshire Northcoast Corporation. The location of its plant along the government-owned tracks in Charlestown provides easy access for its gravel trains, through an agreement to use the freight trackage rights kept by CSX. It also owns a terminal in Everett, Massachusetts, for shipping of aggregate materials by ship, railroad, and truck.

As of 2016, the company's other subsidiaries are Manchester Sand and Gravel, Ossipee Aggregates, Rosenfeld Concrete, Southeastern Concrete, and Lawrence Ready Mix.

Subgraph (operating system). Subgraph OS was a Debian-based project designed to be resistant to surveillance and interference by sophisticated adversaries over the Internet. It has been mentioned by Edward Snowden as showing future potential.

Subgraph OS was designed to be locked down, with a reduced attack surface, to increase the difficulty  to carry out certain classes of attack against it. This was accomplished through system hardening and a proactive, ongoing focus on security and attack resistance. Subgraph OS also placed emphasis on ensuring the integrity of installed software packages through deterministic compilation.

The last update of the project's blog was in September 2017, and all of its GitHub repositories haven't seen activity since 2020.

Features
Some of Subgraph OS's notable features included:
 Linux kernel hardened with the grsecurity and PaX patchset.
 Linux namespaces and xpra for application containment.
 Mandatory file system encryption during installation using LUKS.
 Configurable firewall rules to automatically ensure that network connections for installed applications are made using the Tor anonymity network. Default settings ensure that each application's communication is transmitted via an independent circuit on the network.
 GNOME Shell integration for the OZ virtualization client, which runs apps inside a secure Linux container, targeting ease-of-use by everyday users.

Security
The security of Subgraph OS (which uses sandbox containers) has been questioned in comparison to Qubes (which uses virtualization), another security focused operating system. An attacker can trick a Subgraph user to run a malicious unsandboxed script via the OS's default Nautilus file manager or in the terminal. It is also possible to run malicious code containing .desktop files (which are used to launch applications). Malware can also bypass Subgraph OS's application firewall. Also, by design, Subgraph does not isolate the network stack like Qubes OS.

QDriverStation. The QDriverStation is a free and open-source robotics software for the FIRST Robotics Competition.

The project was started in September 2015 by Alex Spataru (Team 3794), with the objective to provide a stable, free, extensible and friendly to use alternative to the FRC Driver Station. Since then, several FRC students, alumni and mentors have contributed to the project by providing feedback, documenting the communication protocols and creating Linux packages.

Features 
Some important features of the QDriverStation are:

 The QDriverStation implements a simple auto-updater to ensure that teams are running the latest version of the software.
 The QDriverStation uses SDL to obtain joystick input, but it also implements the option to enable a "virtual joystick", which uses the keyboard keys to operate the robot.
 The QDriverStation implements a simple sandbox around every protocol to ensure the safe operation of the robot and the software.
 The QDriverStation uses the Qt framework to implement the Graphical user interface.

FRC communication protocols 
The developers of the QDriverStation have implemented the 2014, 2015 and 2016 FRC communication protocols. Some users have requested to implement support for the ROS protocol, however, work for this feature has not been published yet.

Mobile version 
The developers of the QDriverStation have also developed a side-project for mobile devices (such as Android and iOS) with QML. The mobile version has most of the capabilities that the desktop version has.
