Robert Hammond (electrical engineer). Robert Hammond  (19 January 1850, Waltham Cross – 5 August 1915, Hampstead) was an English electrical engineer who pioneered electric lighting and the generation and distribution of electrical power for lighting and other purposes.

Following the demonstration of a Charles F. Brush's arc lamp lighting system in Brighton in 1881, Hammond established the Hammond Electric Light and Power Company which supplied electricity to enable shopkeepers located in Queen’s Road, Brighton and Western Road to install electric lighting in their premises.

Loam molding. Loam molding was formerly used for making cast iron or bronze cannon and is still used for casting large bells.  

Loam (pronounced 'low-m') is a mixture of sand and clay with water, sometimes with horse dung (valuable for its straw content), animal hair or coke.  The object of including dung or hair was to make the mould permeable and allow gas (such as steam) to escape during casting. 

The mold for a cylindrically symmetrical object, such as a cannon, is built up in stages around a spindle, to which is fixed a strickle board with the shape of the eventual casting.  The mold also has provision for the casting of a gunhead, beyond the muzzle of the cannon, into which slag can float during casting.  If the object is to be hollow, a straw rope is wound around the spindle and covered in a friable material to the dimensions of the exterior of the cannon, the strickle board being turned on the spindle to ensure it is cylindrical.  Decorative elements and models of the trunnions are then attached. This is then covered in a thick layer of loam.  The mold is then fired.  After this the straw rope is then pulled out with the rest of the material used to form the shape of the cannon.  

The mould is then mounted vertically in a casting put in front of the furnace.  If the cannon is to be cast hollow, a core is mounted in the mould.  The furnace was then tapped and metal run into the mold.  The mold is then broken off the casting.  The gunhead is cut off, and the bore of the cannon reamed out using a boring mill.  

The process for the cylinder for a steam engine would be similar.  The process for casting a bell is of the same nature, but the procedure is necessarily different.

Central station (electricity). A central station was the name given to the first generation of power stations in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Prior to the establishment of electricity grids, central stations were as yet unconnected with one another, each being the sole source of electrical supply to  nearby consumers.

Central Stations played a key role in the development of electric vehicles: the Electric Vehicle Association of America (EVAA) had representatives from 10 central stations when it was founded in 1910. The New England section of the EVAA, founded in 1909 was called the  “Electric Vehicle and Central Station Association”. The monthly official journal of the EVAA was called The Central Station published by Harry Cushing Jr. and edited by Newton Harris.

Cushing and Harris published Central Station Management in 1916.

Balboa 16. The Balboa 16 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by W. Shad Turner as a day sailer and first built in 1981.

Production
The design was built by Coastal Recreation, Inc in Costa Mesa, California, United States starting in 1981. The company was bought out by Laguna Yachts of Stanton, California and became a subsidiary. Laguna Yachts developed the design into the Laguna 16 in 1984, but went out of business in 1986. The boat is no longer in production.

Design
The Balboa 16 is a small recreational keelboat intended for beginner sailors. It is built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig with anodized aluminum spars and a transom-sheeted mainsheet. The hull features a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller, a self-bailing cockpit and a fixed, shallow-draft fin keel. It displaces  and carries  of ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard keel fitted. It is normally fitted with a small outboard motor of up to  for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, plus two quarter berths. To facilitate ground transportation on a trailer the design has a hinged mast step. Factory standard equipment included an ice box, cabin carpeting and a plexiglass sliding hatch. It is normally raced with a crew of two sailors.

Operational history
In a 1994 review Richard Sherwood wrote, "This day sailer is designed for recreation rather than racing, and
it offers overnight accommodation for four in one double and two quarter berths ... The manufacturer suggests the Balboa 16 for beginners."

In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "the Balboa’s relatively wide beam may help stability a bit, and also provides extra stowage space below. highest of her comp group. Her fixed keel may appeal to novice sailors who don't want to fuss with a centerboard or swing keel and with a relatively high B/D ratio and low SA/D, she may be relatively stable in a breeze. Worst features: Her low SA/D and shallow keel also make her a poor bet for sailing fast or close to the wind in light air. Her shallow (2' 5") fixed keel will make it harder to slide off a trailer, especially on shallow-sloped launching ramps. And because the keel is steel, it will be more difficult and time-consuming to maintain properly, particularly in salt water."

KTM Class 61. The KTM Class 61 is a diesel multiple unit operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu for KTM Intercity services on non electrified sections of the KTM West Coast railway line and the KTM East Coast railway line.

Background

The idea of using DMUs is not new to KTMB. In 1960, the company operated diesel railcars on short distance services. The railcars operated in multiple unit formation until the mid 1970s, when they were converted into trailers and coupled with conventional diesel locomotives. In the 1980s, KTM ordered railbuses for similar services, but these services ended in the 1990s. Secondhand DMUs were also proposed for KTM Komuter services to make up for the shortage of EMUs, but in the end,  new Class 92 EMUs were ordered instead.

Procurement
In 2015, the Business Times reported that KTMB had signed a deal for DMUs with Majestic Engineering, in which the DMUs will be supplied by CRRC. KTMB confirmed its intentions to get DMUs in 2016, pointing out its higher speeds compared to locomotive hauled trains In 2017, KTMB formally announced the procurement of 13 DMUs along with 9 ETS sets from CRRC.

The trains were constructed from 2018 to 2020 by CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive. The first two sets were built in CRRC’s factory in Zhuzhou, China whereas the remaining eleven were built in CRRC’s factory in Batu Gajah, Malaysia.

Description
The trains have a design speed of  and are expected to operate at up to . They are equipped with graphene-based supercapacitors for storing braking energy and two MAN powerpacks. The diesel engines can be replaced with fuel cells to reach zero emissions operation. The trains are fitted with a Wireless Train Tracker tool for location detection.

Since the trains are used on non-upgraded sections where platform heights are lower, the trains are fitted with retractable steps to aid passengers in boarding. The train bodies themselves are specified to meet the European EN15227 crashworthiness standard.

Features
The trains feature digital passenger information systems, a prayer room and a light catering bar. Nine of the thirteen sets will have a parcel storage area and have commuter style seating i.e. a combination of transverse and longitudinal seating layouts. Such trains are suited for regional services such as the Shuttle Timur service. The remaining four sets have 2+2 transverse seating and are suited to long distance travel.

Service history
KTMB held a launch party for the new trains for 11 April 2021, inaugurating DMU service between Tumpat, Gua Musang and Kuala Lipis. From 21 February 2022, the trains were fully utilised on the east coast line with the opening of shuttle timuran 35up/38dn from Kuala Lipis to Gemas.

Iranian naval rigid inflatable speedboats. Various series of rigid inflatable boat (RIB) are operated by naval forces of Iran. Based on a design by Italian Fabio Buzzi, they have been manufactured and modified in Iran.

History 

The cooperation between FB Design and Iranians started in 1998, when frames and blueprints of patrol boat Levriero was purchased by Iran. It is likely that Shahid Joulaee Marine Industries (subordinate to Marine Industries Organization) obtained a license to produce RIB-33SC and FB-55SC models domestically. In 2005, American authorities questioned FB Design about their deals with Iran, effectively putting an end to the cooperation. Iran has reportedly altered some original designs and manufactured similar modifications.

Types 
According to 2015 edition of Jane's Fighting Ships, Iran is known to operate the following models and modifications of rigid inflatable boat:
RIB 42SC ( long, at least one in service)
FB 55 ( long, at least one in service)
FB 38 ( long, at least two in service)
RIB 36 ( long, at least two in service)
RIB 55SC ( long, at least two in service)
The estimates for top speed of these vessels range between  to .
In addition to versions mentioned above, RIB 33 is in service in unknown numbers.

According to H.I. Sutton, the Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commissioned 32 RIBs into service in June 2020, some equipped with rocket launchers and the rest armed with machine guns. The vessels are used by the S.N.S.F., marines of the naval forces, likely for boarding operations.

East Blackland Solar Project. The East Blackland Solar Project, also known as the Pflugerville Solar Farm, is a 144 megawatt (MW) alternating current (AC) solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant near Pflugerville, Texas. Originally a 60 MWAC plant, a ceremonial ground breaking was announced in December 2010 with completion expected in June 2013, but construction start was delayed until July 2020, because no buyer for the electricity was available for contract.

RRE Mehta Power was the original developer on the project. The current developer is Recurrent Energy, LLC, a division of Canadian Solar. CIT Group arranged for financing of $162 million of the $234 million project, which finally broke ground in July 2020. Austin Energy will buy electricity generated by the project under the terms of a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA).

The system was sold to Duke Energy in 2020, before construction was completed. The project will begin operating in January 2024.

ReScience C. ReScience C is a journal created in 2015 by Nicolas Rougier and Konrad Hinsen with the aim of publishing researchers' attempts to replicate computations made by other authors, using independently written, free and open-source software (FOSS), with an open process of peer review. The journal states that requiring the replication software to be free and open-source ensures the reproducibility of the original research.

Creation
ReScience C was created in 2015 by Nicolas Rougier and Konrad Hinsen in the context of the replication crisis of the early 2010s, in which concern about difficulty in replicating (different data or details of method) or reproducing (same data, same method) peer-reviewed, published research papers was widely discussed. ReScience C'''s scope is computational research, with the motivation that journals rarely require the provision of source code, and when source code is provided, it is rarely checked against the results claimed in the research article.

Policies and methods
The scope of ReScience C is mainly focussed on researchers' attempts to replicate computations made by other authors, using independently written, free and open-source software (FOSS). Articles are submitted using the "issues" feature of a git repository run by GitHub, together with other online archiving services, including Zenodo and Software Heritage. Peer review takes place publicly in the same "issues" online format.

In 2020, Nature reported on the results of ReScience C's "Ten Years' Reproducibility Challenge", in which scientists were asked to try reproducing the results from peer-reviewed articles that they had published at least ten years earlier, using the same data and software if possible, updated to a modern software environment and free licensing. , out of 35 researchers who had proposed to reproduce the results of 43 of their old articles, 28 reports had been written, 13 had been accepted after peer review and published, among which 11 documented successful reproductions.
