Glu3d. Glu3D is a plugin that simulates fluid effects inside the 3dsmax and Maya3D modelling programs.

Simulation 

Glu3d uses SPH, or Smoothed particle hydrodynamics to solve fluid simulations. 
Adjustments can be made to the collision geometry by modifying the Friction, Adherence, Bounce and Collision GAP values to each object.

PWrapper 

PWrapper is a polygonal mesh surface generator that works in conjunction with glu3D particles to generate a mesh surrounding the particles in realtime. This helps to give a liquid behavior to any particle set with no need to wait for inter-particle interaction calculation times.

Wetmaps 

Glu3d is also able to generate image sequences called Wetmaps that simulate the wet surface of an object.
Wetmaps, if enabled, are generated in a per-object basis, which means that every object has its own wetmap sequence, that is created based on the objects UV Mapping

Bradshaw Brook. Bradshaw Brook is a river draining parts of Lancashire and Greater Manchester in Northern England.

Starting life as Cadshaw Brook draining a valley named Green Lowe Clough on Turton Moor, the brook feeds the Turton and Entwistle Reservoir and Wayoh Reservoir (the latter also fed by Blackstone Brook and Whittlestone Head Brook). From there, the river traverses Turton Bottoms and passes Chapeltown before feeding Jumbles Reservoir (along with Hazelhurst Brook).

Bradshaw Brook then passes Bromley Cross and Bradshaw on its way to meet the River Tonge at Leverhulme Park east of Bolton.

Local nature reserve
Upper Bradshaw Valley local nature reserve is in the wooded valley of Bradshaw Brook. The woodlands are native broadleaf trees and are separated by meadow areas. At the northern end is a disused quarry ⁬with pond areas. Bolton's arboretum is located at the southern end. The brook, a tributary of the River Croal, flows through the reserve from Jumbles Reservoir.

Boston Transportation Planning Review. Boston Transportation Planning Review (BTPR), published in 1972, was a transportation planning program for metropolitan Boston, Massachusetts, which was responsible for analyzing and redesigning the entire area-wide transit and highway system in the 1970s.  The major contractors involved were Alan M. Voorhees Company (Virginia), project manager; Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (New York City), architect; ESL Incorporated (California), air quality and acoustics.  The program had close guidance from the national Transportation Research Board (TRB), a division of the US National Academy of Sciences.  The first director of the program reporting to the Governor was Alan Altshuler; the project manager was Walter Hansen.

Comprehensive re-evaluation of areawide transportation plans was a major theme in the last quarter of the twentieth century for large US cities.  The US Department of Transportation has said "the prototype for these reevaluations was the Boston Transportation Planning Review".  Scope of the BTPR studies included evaluation and upgrading of all four MBTA mass transit rail lines and examination of every major highway and arterial project in the region.

Major elements

The following exemplify some of the principal study elements of the Boston Transportation Planning Review:
 Conceptual design of the rerouted Orange Line mass transit rail service to the southwest of Boston.
 Expansion plans for the Red Line mass transit Braintree and Northwest Corridor extensions.
 Moratorium on expressway construction inside of Route 128 for the decade.
 First concept of depressing the Central Artery, leading to the Big Dig.
 Upgrading of Route 1A from Boston to Salem.

Technologies applied

The following major technologies were utilized in the BTPR:
Critical path work element diagrams to assist project management (Voorhees)
Citywide traffic flow analysis including intersection level of service (Voorhees)
Urban design of all physical structures and highway geometrics including neighborhood visual impacts (Skidmore, Owings and Merrill)
Hydrology Impact Analysis to surface waters and groundwater affected by transit and roadway construction.
Air quality and noise contour maps for all transportation alternatives (ESL)
Wildlife and vegetation impact analysis for all alternatives.
Public consultation Massachusetts Governor Francis W. Sargent involved concerned citizens in the development of transportation alternatives

Adjusted Peak Performance. Adjusted Peak Performance (APP) is a metric introduced by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) to more accurately predict the suitability of a computing system to complex computational problems, specifically those used in simulating nuclear weapons. This is used to determine the export limitations placed on certain computer systems under the Export Administration Regulations 15 CFR.

Further details can be found in the document "Practitioner's Guide To Adjusted Peak Performance".

The (simplified) algorithm used to calculate APP consists of the following steps:

 Determine how many 64 bit (or better) floating point operations every processor in the system can perform per clock cycle (best case). This is FPO(i).
 Determine the clock frequency of every processor. This is F(i).
 Choose the weighting factor for each processor: 0.9 for vector processors and 0.3 for non-vector processors. This is W(i).
 Calculate the APP for the system as follows: APP = FPO(1) * F(1) * W(1) + ... + FPO(n) * F(n) * W(n).

The metric was introduced in April 2006 to replace the Composite Theoretical Performance (CTP) metric which was introduced in 1993. APP was itself replaced in November 2007 when the BIS amended 15 CFR to include the December 2006 Wassenaar Arrangement Plenary Agreement Implementation's new metric - Gigaflops (GFLOPS), one billion floating point operations per second,  or TeraFLOPS, one trillion floating point operations per second.

The unit of measurement is Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT) to specify Adjusted Peak Performance (APP).

The weighting factor is 0.3 for non-vector processors and 0.9 for vector processors. For example, a PowerPC 750 running at 800 MHz would be rated at 0.00024 WT due to being able to execute one floating point instruction per cycle and not having a vector unit. Note that only 64 bit (or wider) floating point instructions count.

Notes:

 Processors without 64 bit (or better) floating point support have an FPO of zero.
 The current APP limit is 0.75 WT.

Subsea 7. Subsea 7 S.A. (stylised as Subsea7) is a Luxembourgish multinational services company involved in subsea engineering and construction serving the offshore energy industry. The company is registered in Luxembourg with its headquarters in London. Subsea 7 delivers offshore projects and provides services for the energy industry. 

Subsea7 makes offshore energy transition feasible through working on lower-carbon oil and gas and by providing services for the growth of renewables and other emerging energy industries.

History
The company was formed by the January 2011 merger of two predecessor companies, Acergy S.A. and Subsea 7, Inc.

Acergy was founded in 1970 as Stolt Nielsen Seaway, a division of the Norwegian Stolt-Nielsen Group offering divers for the exploration of the North Sea. After a series of acquisitions, including Comex Services of France in 1992 and Houston, Texas–based Ceanic Corporation in 1998, the company changed its name to Stolt Offshore in 2000. Five years later Stolt-Nielsen spun out the company as an independent business listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. The firm renamed as Acergy in March 2006.

Subsea 7, Inc. was the result of a series of mergers between DSND Offshore AS, Halliburton Subsea, Subsea Offshore and Rockwater over an extended period, with Rockwater and SubSea merging in 1999 to form Halliburton Subsea, and the resulting company operating as a 50/50 joint venture with DSND in 2002 with the name Subsea 7. Halliburton exited the joint venture in November 2004. The company was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange in August 2005 following its restructuring the same year.

On 21 June 2010 the combination of Acergy S.A. and Subsea 7 Inc. was announced and was completed on 7 January 2011. The new entity took the Subsea 7 name while retaining Acergy's Luxembourg domicile and operational headquarters in London. The chairman and chief executive roles were filled by Kristian Siem and Jean Cahuzac, who had previously held the same roles at Subsea 7 and Acergy respectively.

Presence
 
The current headquarters for Subsea 7 is located at 40 Brighton Road, Sutton, London.

Voisin Canard. The Voisin Canard was an aircraft developed by Voisin brothers during 1910 and first flown early in 1911.  It was named the Canard because of the resemblance of its forward fuselage to that of a duck's long neck while in flight.  It was originally flown as a landplane: with the addition of floats it became one of the first seaplanes used by the French Navy.

Design and development
The Canard was, even by the standards of 1910, a curiously regressive design, its layout reminiscent of Alberto Santos-Dumont's 14-bis of 1906.

As first flown at Issy-les-Moulineaux by Maurice Colliex, the aircraft had an uncovered fuselage of wire-braced wood construction with the  Rossel-Peugeot rotary engine at the rear and the front-mounted control surfaces consisting of an all-moving elevator divided into two halves, one either side of the fuselage, a rectangular balanced rudder mounted above the elevator, and a pair of short-span fixed horizontal surfaces with a high angle of attack mounted behind and below the elevators. Voisin's characteristic side-curtains were fitted to the outermost pair of interplane struts and roll control was achieved using trailing-edge ailerons on both upper and lower wings.

The aircraft was judged a success and Voisin manufactured a number of examples. There are variations between the individual production aircraft: the two examples flown in the French military aircraft trials in 1911 had a wingspan of .; one was powered by a  Renault and the second by a  Gnome.  The number of sets of side curtains varied, some aircraft having two or even three sets.

Seaplane version

The seaplane variant, fitted with floats designed by Henri Fabre, was initially built to the order of Prince Bibesco, who intended to use it make a flight across the Black Sea.  It was first successfully flown from water on 25 April 1911.

One example was bought by the French navy in March 1912 to equip the seaplane tender La Foudre, the first seaplane carrier in history.  A second example was delivered to the Navy in December 1913.

Reflector (cellular automaton). In cellular automata such as Conway's Game of Life, a reflector is a pattern that can interact with a spaceship to change its direction of motion, without damage to the reflector pattern. In Life, many oscillators can reflect the glider; there also exist stable reflectors composed of still life patterns that, when they interact with a glider, reflect the glider and return to their stable state.

Thulin B (automobile). For the aircraft Thulin Type B see:Thulin B (aircraft)

Thulin B or Thulin Type B was an automobile built by AB Thulinverken.

History 
In 1925 Thulinverken was contacted by the brothers Per and Hugo Weiertz (who earlier had worked on the Self) who wanted them to build a car using their own blueprints. Thulinverken became interested in the project and hired the two brothers. During 1926 a prototype was constructed and tested and during 1927 the car went into production. Only 13 cars were built and none of them remain today.
