Lake Yahola (Oklahoma). Lake Yahola is a reservoir in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The reservoir was completed in 1924. Its primary purpose is to store raw water for treatment and distribution. This city-owned, , concrete-lined lake is an integral part of the Tulsa water supply, and receives water by pipeline from Lake Spavinaw. It is located in Mohawk Park, adjacent to the Mohawk Water Treatment Plant.

Lake description
The lake covers  and has an average depth of .

The lake is encompassed by  of shoreline.

The original water treatment plant, designed to process 90 million gallons per day (MGD), went into service in 1929. It was replaced in 1998 by a new plant designed to process 100 MGD. The Mohawk plant has been expanded to a design capacity of 200 MGD

Recreation
Lake Yahola also serves as a recreation site, with facilities for boating and fishing. However, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation states that the docks are closed to the public and that boating is not allowed. Fishing from sites along the shore is allowed.

The adjacent Oxley Nature Center is a popular place for bird watching.

Waki Hydroelectric Power Station. Waki Power Station is a proposed  mini hydroelectric power station in Uganda, the third-largest economy in the East African Community.

Location
The power station will be located across the Waki River, in Butiaba, Masindi District, in Western Uganda. This location lies near the eastern shores of Lake Albert, near the point where River Waki empties into the lake. Butiaba lies approximately , by road, west of Masindi, the location of the district headquarters, and the nearest large town.

Overview
The Waki Hydropower Project, will be a run of the river, mini-hydropower installation, with installed capacity of 5 MW. The energy generated will be fed into the national electric grid via either an 11 kV or a 22 kV transmission line. Feasibility studies were initiated in 1997. More recently, in 2006, SN Power Invest of Norway, carried out new feasibility studies on Waki and Buseruka power projects. However, SN Power Invest abandoned the project and in 2008, the development license was re-allocated to Tronder Power Limited, also from Norway. However, Tronder Power Limited also pulled out of the deal and in 2010, the license for Waki Power Station was allocated to Hydromax. The power station will be owned and operated by Hydromax, a private energy investor, who developed Buseruka Power Station in Hoima District, between 2005 and 2013.

Construction timetable
Construction was initially expected to begin in 2012, with commissioning anticipated in 2014. In October 2014, the Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERA), awarded the electricity production license to the developers of the power station. Construction is expected to begin in December 2014, with completion planned in 24 months.

Comox (steamboat). Comox was a steamship built in 1891 in British Columbia which served until 1920. Comox was the first steel ship built on the west coast of North America north of San Francisco.

Design and construction
Comox was built in 1891. The components of the vessel were manufactured in Paisley, Scotland, and then shipped to Vancouver, British Columbia, where they were assembled by Henry Darling. When complete, Comox was 101 feet long, with a beam of 18 feet and 5-foot depth of hold. Overall size of the vessel was 101 gross tons. The hull was steel, and Comox was the first steel ship built on the Pacific coast north of San Francisco. As built, Comox could accommodate almost 200 passengers.

The power plant was a double-expansion steam engine, manufactured by Bow McLachlan & Co., Glasgow, Scotland. The engines had a high-pressure cylinder 12 inches in diameter, low-pressure of 24-inch diameter, and a stroke of 18 inches, and drove the ship at 11 miles per hour. Coal consumption was 4.5 tons in 24 hours.

Comox had an auxiliary sailing rig as a sloop.

Operation
Comox was completed in October 1891. After completion, Comox was placed on routes running north from Vancouver. Christ Dragoylovich (born 1857), a native of Austria, was the vessel's chief engineer. Comox ran to logging camps on week days, and was used for excursions on weekends. By 1909, Comox had made 2,000 trips out of Vancouver harbor.

Disposition
Comox was sold for scrap in 1919, but was not dismantled. Instead, the vessel was sold to Panama interests and transferred south, under the name Alejandro.

Armacell. Armacell is a manufacturer and supplier of industrial foams and flexible insulation materials, based in Luxembourg. It has over 3,135 employees and 25 production plants in 19 countries.

History 
Armacell was the insulator manufacturing division of Armstrong World Industries, until a management buyout in June 2000. Founder Thomas Armstrong created the division in 1899, when Armstrong World Industries, started producing insulated corkboard and brick. In 1954, the division experienced success after launching Armaflex, a flexible technical insulator for pipe connections.

In 1960, Armstrong World Industries laid the foundation for Armstrong Kork GmbH in Germany to produce flooring. The company opened its first distribution office in Düsseldorf as part of their expansion in Europe. This became the foundation of Armstrong's European headquarters.

A new factory was erected in Münster in 1967, to handle increasing demand for Armaflex. The 1973 oil crisis led to innovations in heating-system insulators. Growth was  propelled by West Germany's "Energieeinsparverordnung", a law obliging building owners to construct buildings  that use as little energy for heating as possible.

In 1984, Swiss company Rothrist and its brand Tubolit were taken-over, adding insulations based on polyethylene to the range of products.

In 1991, the Münster site was equipped as a center for advanced research for insulation solutions. In June 2000, the insulation division became independent company Armacell International Holding, with all rights to Armaflex and Tubolit. In 2001, Armacell founded a new company division with a focus on technical foams.

At the end of 2019, the financial investor Blackstone sold the majority of the capital in Armacell to PAI partners, while the minority shareholder Kirkbi, who has held a stake in Armacell since 2016, increased its stake at the same time.

Expansion and acquisitions
The company expanded into Asia the following year, acquired a Thai producer of technical insulation and founded a new division for technical foams. In 2004, Armacell acquired Ensolite and Oletex and the associated facilities from the US-American RBX group. In 2005, Armacell took over American foam slab stock producer Monarch Rubber and Fagerdala Benelux S.A., a European producer of thermoplastic foams. In 2008, Armacell purchased MDS Leuze, a manufacturer of blank-sheet cable coatings and PropaCene.

Pipe-and-cable-laying plough. A pipe-and-cable-laying plough or moleplough is a method to bury cables or pipes.
The machinery is a form of a subsoiler with a single blade. It is used to lay buried services of virtually any description, for drainage, water, electricity, telecommunications, gas supply etc.. A coil of the service pipe/cable is mounted on the tractor and is led down a guide behind the blade, and is left buried behind the plough in a single operation, without the need to predig a deep trench and re-fill it. 

This process is normally used in rural areas where previously buried services will not be encountered and there are no hardened surfaces, e.g. tarmac concrete etc..

There are also specialised laying ploughs for cable laying behind traffic barriers, in stream or lake beds or even for the laying of submarine cables in deep sea, so-called sea ploughs. Sea ploughs are pulled behind cable ships and bury the cable in the sea bed. Burying submarine cables helps protect them from anchors, trawlers and other risks.

An early recorded attempt to use this technique was in 1855 by the British during the Crimean War, however the plough was found to be too light to penetrate the frozen soil.

List of sunken aircraft carriers. With the advent of heavier-than-air flight, the aircraft carrier has become a decisive weapon at sea. In 1911 aircraft began to be successfully launched and landed on ships with the successful flight of a Curtiss Pusher aboard . The British Royal Navy pioneered the first aircraft carrier with floatplanes, as flying boats under performed compared to traditional land based aircraft. The first true aircraft carrier was , launched in late 1917 with a complement of 20 aircraft and a flight deck  long and  wide.  The last aircraft carrier sunk in wartime was the , in Kure Harbour in July 1945. The greatest loss of life was the 2,046 killed on —a converted passenger liner with a small flight deck, carrying the Imperial Japanese Army's 64th Infantry Regiment. 

Submarines were the biggest enemy of aircraft carriers, having sunk eighteen throughout the Second World War. Most notably, the  was the largest carrier of the war, and the largest object sunk by a submarine when she was hit by four torpedoes from . Sixteen carriers were lost to the air groups of enemy aircraft carriers, and five were sunk to land based aircraft. Ten were sunk in non combat zones, six were sunk as target ships, one was scuttled to prevent capture, one was sunk as a block ship, one sank to an internal explosion, and one was scuttled after scrapping was refused. 

The rarest way for an aircraft carrier to be sunk was in a surface action against enemy warship gunfire, of which only three (debatably four) were sunk.  was en route ferrying aircraft to Norway in June 1940 when the German battleships  and  found her within gun range and opened fire. Excellent long range gunnery sank both Glorious and her escorting destroyers. In October 1942, after the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, the Japanese destroyers  and  are sometimes credited with finishing off the crippled and abandoned American aircraft carrier , but Hornet was already sinking with a 45 degree list after bomb and torpedo damage from aircraft operating from the carriers  and , and it is debatable whether their torpedoes really affected Hornets fate. In October 1944,  was involved at the Battle off Samar, where she was sunk by naval gunfire, primarily from the . Meanwhile, the Japanese light carrier  was crippled by US dive bomber aircraft, and later finished off by a US cruiser task force.

Dudek V-1 Sportplane. The Dudek V-1 Sportplane is a low wing, conventional landing gear, homebuilt aircraft developed from the Piper J-2 Cub.

Design and development
Dudek used a J-2 Cub purchased for $300 as a donor aircraft for the prototype. He used a scale balsa model to engineer the conversion from a high-wing enclosed aircraft to a low wing open cockpit sportsplane rather than design drawings or blueprints.

The fuselage is welded tube steel with fabric covering and wooden stringers. Landing gear was sourced from a Piper J-5. Wing struts were sourced from a Waco CG-4A.

Operational history
The first flight occurred on 11 March 1955. The prototype N35A was registered as late as 2006.

Input (computer science). In computer science, the general meaning of input is to provide or give something to the computer, in other words, when a computer or device is receiving a command or signal from outer sources, the event is referred to as input to the device.

Some computer devices can also be categorized as input devices, because devices are used to send instructions to the computer, some common examples of computer input devices are:

 Mouse
 Keyboard
 Touchscreen
 Microphone
 Webcam
 Softcam
 Touchpad
 Trackpad
 Image scanner
 Trackball

Many internal components of computer are input components to other components, like the power-on button of a computer is an input component for the processor or the power supply, because it takes user input and sends it to other components for further processing.

In many computer languages the keyword "input" is used as a special keyword or function, such as in Visual Basic or Python. The command "input" is used to give the machine the data it has to process.

Howard DGA-3. The Howard DGA-3 "Pete", a.k.a. "Damned Good Airplane – 3", "Baker Special", and "Little Audrey" is the third aircraft built by Ben Howard, and the first in a series of racing aircraft. Howard claimed that the aircraft was so fast from his use of "Go Grease".

Design and development
The DGA-3 was started as a side project based on getting the best performing aircraft using a Wright Gipsy engine Howard had available. The aircraft went from the drawing board to completion in eight months.

The fuselage was made of welded steel tubing with aircraft fabric covering. The control surfaces were wood with plywood covering. The cockpit was sized to an absolute minimum. The axle between wheels was shaped like an airfoil, producing some of the lift. In 1947, "Pete" was rebuilt as the "Baker Special" with a Continental engine for midget racing. The aircraft was rebuilt once again by the Experimental Aircraft Association founder Paul Poberezny as "Little Audrey". The aircraft was mounted with Luscombe wings and a Continental A-75.

Operational history
1930 National Air Races – Howard flew five firsts and two third-place finishes at 163 mph.
1930 Thompson Trophy race, third place.
1931 National Air Races – three second, one fourth, and one sixth-place finish.
1932 National Air Races – one second place at .
1933 Chicago Air Race – pilot Joe Jacobson flew to Two second and one fifth-place finish.
1933 International Air Race – one fourth, one fifth, and one sixth place with pilots Helen Lantz, Gordon Israel, and Art Gross.
1934 National Air Races – Joe Jacobson purchased and flew "Pete" to one fourth, and three fifth-place finishes at 159 mph.
1935 National Air Races – One third and one fourth-place finish at 147 mph.
1947 Goodyear races – As the "Baker Special" The aircraft was partially destroyed in a hangar fire after the races.

In 1953 "Pete" was rebuilt as a homebuilt sportsplane "Little Audrey". The aircraft flew until 1981. It was last owned and flown jointly by Victor Edwin Zinn and Walter Fritz who based the aircraft in Noblesville Indiana.  After being slightly damaged in a runaway airplane incident Zinn and Fritz, both active EAA members elected to donate the aircraft to the EAA museum.  It was once in the collection of the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum. A restoration was performed and the aircraft was donated to the EAA Airventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in 1991.

Flux melting. In igneous petrology and volcanology, flux melting occurs when water and other volatile components are introduced to hot solid rock, depressing the solidus. In engineering and metallurgy, flux is a substance, such as salt, that produces a low melting point (liquidus) mixture with a metal oxide. In the same way, the addition of water and other volatile compounds to rocks composed of silicate minerals lowers the melting temperature (solidus) of those rocks.

In subduction zones, the ultramafic rock of the upper mantle is melted by the addition of volatiles from the subducting plate. The subducting oceanic crust carries water and other volatiles into the mantle, primarily in the form of hydrous minerals which form as a result of the interaction of oceanic crust and seawater. Bound in the subducting crust, these volatiles are released by metamorphic dewatering into the overlying mantle wedge. The partial melting triggered by the incorporation of volatiles produces mafic magma which rises and differentiates forming the igneous and volcanic rocks of the overlying volcanic arc.

Aguamilpa Dam. The Aguamilpa Dam is an embankment dam on the Río Grande de Santiago in the Mexican state of Nayarit,  northeast of Tepic. The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and it supplies a 960 MW power station with water. Construction on the dam began in 1989 and it was completed in 1993 while the power station became operational in 1994.

Background
Funding for the project was supplied by the Mexican Government, World Bank and USD$250 million was invested by several foreign governments. A USD$460 million World Bank loan was approved on 8 June 1989 and covered the Hydroelectric Development Project in Mexico which included the Aguamilpa Dam and the Zimapán Dam. Also included in the Aguamilpa Dam project was the power plant, substations and San Rafael Dam downstream. The dam was constructed by a consortium of engineering companies which included Hydroenergo, Siemens, Voest, ANDRITZ and Technit. In 1993, construction on the dam was complete and its power plant was operational August of the next year. The dam was inaugurated on 21 July 1993 and its total cost was USA$967 million. Approximately 3,000 people were displaced and resettled by the construction of both dams in the Mexico Hydroelectric Development Project.

Design
The Aguamilpa Dam is a  tall and  long concrete-face rock-fill dam containing  of fill. The dam sits at the head of a  catchment area and creates a reservoir with a  surface area and a capacity of . Controlling the dam's spillway are six  high and  wide radial gates and water is released into the power station's penstocks via three roller gates. The power station contains three 320 MW Francis turbine-generators for a total installed capacity of 960 MW. Downstream of the Aguamilpa Dam is the San Rafael Dam at  which has a storage capacity of  and serves as a regulatory dam to control releases from Aguamilpa. A second phase of the project has yet to be built which includes the installation of two more 320 MW generators.
