Kurikin Nano Island Story. is a role-playing video game developed by MediaKite and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. It was released only in Japan on May 24, 2007.

Gameplay 
You play as a student (either male or female) at Nano Academy, a school located on Nano Island. This island is home to an abundance of around 100 species of bacteria. There are three types of bacteria: , , and . To collect them, you must use the stylus to absorb a small amount of living matter in certain areas around Nano Island, like plants, dirt, water and even man-made objects. When one kind is found, the bacteria can be raised and then used in battle. Sometimes when two different species of bacteria touch each other during battles, they create a new species. The game includes a story mode for single players. Each of the 24 chapters starts off by giving you a mission. With your goal all set, you head off on a search of the island to speak to people and gather information. As you advance through the missions, you'll end up getting in battle with rival bacteria.

Battle system
Unlike Pokémon and other monster battle RPGs, the battles in this game are group based. Rather than controlling a single bacteria, you control a group of the pixel-sized creatures in a face-off against a group of equally tiny foes. During a battle, the touch screen shows an overhead view of the entire battlefield, which takes on different shapes depending on the battle at hand. To control your bacteria group, you draw circles around the section that you want to move. Follow this with a straight line, and the bacteria move off in the intended direction. You also can blow into the microphone to scatter groups of bacteria that you've circled in order for them to have enough space to reproduce themselves.

Depending on the type of battle, the goal in battle is to either destroy all of your opponent's bacteria or to have more bacteria than your opponent at the end of the time limit. Killing off all your rivals won't be as easy as it sounds, as the bacteria replicate over time. All the gameplay during battle appears to take place on the bottom screen. Meanwhile, the top screen shows a close-up view of the action, allowing you to get a closer look at the game's creature design. You're free to move a viewing window around the touch screen to get a full view of the action from the top screen.

Ambrosini Sagittario. The Ambrosini Sagittario was an Italian aerodynamic research aircraft based on the manufacturer's S.7.

Development
New swept wings and tail surfaces of wooden construction were fitted to the S.7 fuselage. The wing leading edge was swept at 45 degrees. At first, the S.7's piston engine was retained and the aircraft was known as the Ambrosini S.7 Freccia (Arrow).

After several test flights in this configuration (the first on 5 January 1953), the piston engine was removed and replaced with a Turbomeca Marboré turbojet of 3.7 kN (840 lbf) thrust, and the aircraft renamed the Sagittario. The engine air inlet was in the extreme nose, and the exhaust was routed out the bottom of the fuselage, under the cockpit. The tail wheel undercarriage was retained, so special shielding was added to protect the tail wheel from the engine exhaust.

The later Aerfer Sagittario 2 differed in having a tricycle undercarriage and fully transparent cockpit glazing.

Ambrosini S.7. The Ambrosini SAI.7 was an Italian racing aircraft flown before World War II that entered production as a military trainer (designated simply S.7) after the war. It was of conventional configuration, constructed of wood, with a tail-wheel undercarriage. Power was provided by an air-cooled, inverted inline engine, the Alfa-Romeo model 115 with 225 horsepower.

Development
The SAI.7 was built to compete in the IV Avioraduno del Littorio rally, which departed Rimini on 15 July 1939. As equipped for the race, the two SAI.7s were fitted with special glazed fairings extending from the canopy to the nose of the aircraft, to provide extra streamlining. The aircraft began their proving flights too late, and were disqualified from the competition, but on August 27, one of them set a new world airspeed record for a 100 km closed loop, which it completed at 403.9 km/h (251 mph) powered by a Hirth HM 508D.

During the war, the Regia Aeronautica expressed interest in the aircraft as a trainer for fighter pilots, and a slightly revised version entered limited production in 1943 as the SAI.7T. Only 10 were built, but in 1949, a modernised version powered by an Alfa Romeo engine was produced, 145 of them for the reformed Italian Air Force, including some single-seaters. On 21 December 1951, Leonardo Bonzi set new airspeed records in one over 100 km and 1000 km, at 367.36 km/h (228.27 mph) and 358.63 km/h (222.84 mph), respectively.

The final stage in the S.7's development was the Supersette (Super 7), two standard S.7s, one re-engined with a 380 hp de Havilland Gipsy Queen with a unique four-piece cowling that opened like a "flower petal", and the other with an Alfa Romeo 121. Both were modified and refined several times, and in the latter aircraft, Guidantonio Ferrari increased the international airspeed record for this category of aircraft to 419.482 km/h (260.65 mph) at Rome on December 3, 1952. Despite this, the air force was no longer interested in buying piston-engined trainers, and no further Supersettes were built. Both are preserved in museums.

An S.7 fuselage was also used as the basis for the Ambrosini Sagittario, which tested swept wing configurations.

Nonextensive entropy. Entropy is considered to be an extensive property, i.e., that its value depends on the amount of material present. Constantino Tsallis has proposed a nonextensive entropy (Tsallis entropy), which is a generalization of the traditional Boltzmann–Gibbs entropy.

The rationale behind the theory is that Gibbs-Boltzmann entropy leads to systems that have a strong dependence on initial conditions. In reality most materials behave quite independently of initial conditions.

Nonextensive entropy leads to nonextensive statistical mechanics, whose typical functions are power laws, instead of the traditional exponentials.

Actor-Lab. Actor-Lab is a program that visualizes the Lego Mindstorms internal logic through visual flowcharts. The ideas underlying actor-lab are derived from the event-driven, message-passing computer languages that began with the actor based languages devised by Hewit. Actor-lab requires constant communication with a programmable brick (e.g. the RCX) via an infra-red link. This means that the user has to mount the programmable brick vertically for models that move about, and hold the tower in some form of gantry crane. Actor-lab shows the user in real-time what is happening on the programmable brick, including simulation of motors, sensors, lights, and sounds. One can also add controls at the bottom of the screen to give oneself real-time control of your program/model. There is a similar program from Lego called Robolab, where one can actually download programs to the Lego programmable brick.

Controls within

Alt+Mouse Drag on an actor will move him to any location specified.
Double Click on an actor will edit his current messages.
Alt+Click on a control will edit the current actions that the control sends to actors.

Notice that there is one control that cannot be edited. This control is Power OFF or Stop.

Rotax 914. The Rotax 914 is a turbo-charged, four-stroke, four-cylinder, horizontally opposed aircraft engine with air-cooled cylinders and water-cooled cylinder heads. It is designed and built by the Austrian company BRP-Powertrain, owned by Bombardier Recreational Products  (BRP), as part of its Rotax brand.

The engine commonly powers certified light aircraft, homebuilt aircraft, autogyros and military UAVs such as the MQ-1 Predator.

Design and development
Introduced in 1996, the Rotax 914 is a turbocharged development of the Rotax 912.

The Rotax 914 has a turbocharger with an automatic wastegate controller and dual carburetors. It features dual capacitor discharge ignition, liquid-cooled cylinder heads and air-cooled cylinder barrels, an electric starter, a built in propeller reduction gearbox, dry sump forced oil lubrication and has a separate oil tank. It has hydraulic valves that include automatic adjustment. Rotax can provide a purpose-designed air intake, exhaust system and engine mount.

The 914 oil system differs from most dry-sump designs in that lubricating oil is forced into the storage tank by crankcase pressure rather than by a separate scavenge pump. This requires a novel preflight inspection procedure: before checking the oil level with the dipstick, the engine is "burped" by removing the oil filler cap and turning the propeller until a gurgling sound is heard, which indicates that all oil has been forced into the tank and the oil level can now be checked accurately.

The 914 is more fuel efficient and lighter than similarly sized traditional engines, but originally had a shorter time between overhaul (TBO), restricting its market potential. On introduction, the TBO was only 600 hours, which was double that of previous Rotax engines but far short of existing engines of comparable size and power. However, by 1999 the TBO had been increased to 1,000 hours, and it was increased again to 2,000 hours in 2010.

The engine can be operated on 100LL leaded avgas or on unleaded regular automotive gasoline, with a minimum RON of 95. If the 914 is operated using leaded fuel, lead sludge will accumulate in the oil tank and reduction gearbox, and the fuel is incompatible with the recommended synthetic oil because it cannot hold lead in suspension; consequently, using leaded fuel mandates additional maintenance, and unleaded fuel is recommended.

Variants
914 F
Family of engine versions certified to US Federal Aviation Administration FAR 33 and EASA JAR-E. These include: 
914 F2: Version equipped to accept a fixed pitch propeller.
914 F3: Version equipped with a hydraulic governor for a constant speed propeller.
914 F4: Version equipped to accept a hydraulic governor for a constant speed propeller.
914 UL
Non-certified engine version for homebuilt and ultralight aircraft.

Cohesive bandage. A self-adhering bandage or cohesive bandage (coban) is a type of bandage or wrap that coheres to itself but does not adhere well to other surfaces. 

"Coban" by 3M is commonly used as a wrap on limbs because it will stick to itself and not loosen. Due to its elastic qualities, coban is often used as a compression bandage.

It is used both on humans and animals. For animal use, it is marketed under a variety of trade names such as "Vetrap" by 3M. It is commonly used on horses and other animals because it will not stick to hair so it is easily removed.

Inter-domain routing. Inter-domain routing is data flow control and interaction between Primary Domain Controller (PDC) computers. This type of computer uses various computer protocols and services to operate. It is most commonly used to multicast between internet domains.

Internet use
An Internet service provider, ISP, is provided with a unique URL access address. This address is a unique number. The number for each ISP is stored within a DNS server. The DNS servers interpret the ISP URL Domain name and provide the appropriate IP address number. The Domain is under the control of a specialized computer, called a PDC, (primary domain controller). This computer holds records of all the user accounts within the domain, their rights to access information, and lists of approved System Operatives. This PDC is backed up by an SDC, (a secondary domain controller), this computer synchronises itself with the PDC and takes over the role in the event of a PDC failure. Multiple replication servers connect to these control computers and they are routed to the Internet backbone to provide the requested data to and from the domain.

Communication protocols
Internet protocols that are focused on inter-domain functions include: Border Gateway Multicast Protocol, Classless Inter-Domain Routing, Multicast Source Discovery Protocol, and Protocol Independent Multicast.

Services
A PDC uses a number of special computer programs to announce its presence to other domain controllers. It uses Windows Internet naming service WINS and Browser services to allow other computers to gain access to digital information that it has control over.

Other 
The opposite of inter-domain routing is intra-domain routing, routing within a domain or an autonomous system.

Pitsos. Pitsos A.E. (Πίτσος) was founded in Athens in 1865 and began as a company manufacturing small household appliances and oil heaters. In 1959 it began production of fridges in a new factory; it soon invested heavily on the development and production of a wide range of modern home appliances, including TV sets. Other metal structures, including 3-wheel pickup trucks were also produced. In 1976 it was bought by Bosch-Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH. In 1996 was rebranded to "BSH A.B.E. Ikiakon Syskeyon". Many people at that time thought that Bosch Siemens and Pitsos were called BSP, wrongly.Gaggenau and Neff joined the group in 1998 and 2002 respectively. The company was rebranded to "BSH Home Appliances" ("BSH Ikiakes Syskeves A.B.E"). It then boasted a leading position in the Greek household appliances market with a market share of approximately 40%. Its revenue reached €308 Million in 2005. Approximately one third of the total revenue came from exports mainly to Europe and the Middle East.

Production facilities were located in Rentis, near Piraeus, and the company employed 1200 personnel in 2007. By that time it remained the leading white goods manufacturer (such as refrigerators, fridges and ovens and, decreasingly, washing systems) in Greece producing 400,000 units per year, 30% of which for export. The company manufactured products that incorporated substantial innovations such as the "No Frost" and "Super Frost" technologies on refrigeration systems and "pyrolysis" system on cooking systems.

In 2020 the company announced the shutdown of its factory in Greece and its relocation in Turkey. The factory was permanently closed on March 31, 2021, and the company only retains trading activity, however, the Pitsos brand name is still used, on products manufactured outside Greece. 

Parts of Pitsos infrastructure, as well as technology and former personnel, were transferred to Pyramis, a Greek appliances company, which started production of electric appliances in a new factory in December 2022.

Dimethylbenzylamine. Dimethylbenzylamine is the organic compound with the formula C6H5CH2N(CH3)2. The molecule consists of a benzyl group, C6H5CH2, attached to a dimethylamino functional group. It is a colorless liquid.  It is used as a catalyst for the formation of polyurethane foams and epoxy resins.

Synthesis
N,N-Dimethylbenzylamine can be synthesized by the Eschweiler–Clarke reaction of benzylamine

Reactions
It undergoes directed ortho metalation with butyl lithium:

[C6H5CH2N(CH3)2 + BuLi → 2-LiC6H4CH2N(CH3)2
LiC6H4CH2N(CH3)2 + E+ → 2-EC6H4CH2N(CH3)2

Via these reactions, many derivatives are known with the formula 2-X-C6H4CH2N(CH3)2 (E = SR, PR2, etc.).

The amine is basic and undergoes quaternization with alkyl halides (e.g. hexyl bromide) to give quaternary ammonium salts:

[C6H5CH2N(CH3)2 + RX →    [C6H5CH2N(CH3)2R]+X−

Such salts are useful phase transfer catalysts.

Uses
As the molecule has tertiary amine functionality, two of the key uses are as an epoxy-amine cure enhancement catalyst and also as a polyurethane catalyst.
