Union of Chambers of Turkish Engineers and Architects. The Union of Chambers of Turkish Engineers and Architects  () is a confederation of all chambers of architects and engineers in Turkey. The union was "established in 1954 by the Law 7303 and the Decree-Laws 66 and 85 amending of the Law 6235" and "is a corporate body and a professional organization defined in the form of a public institution as stated in the Article 135 of the Turkish Constitution." As of end 2013, the union represents 24 chambers with a total membership of 445,365. It is headquartered in Kızılay, Ankara.

Its national leadership states that TMMOB and its member Chambers "accept that the problems of the profession and the colleagues cannot be separated from the general problems of the people and the country" and, therefore, they "are anti-imperialist and oppose the New World Order theories, racism and reactionism", and "implement democratic centralist methods in the formation and implementation of the policies" as listed among "Fundamental Principles" of the organization.

In July 2013 the Justice and Development Party rushed through a bill removing TMMOB's role in approving urban development proposals, apparently in response to TMMOB's support of the 2013 protests in Turkey.

Lead picrate. Lead picrate is an organic picrate salt. It is a sensitive and highly explosive compound that is typically found as a hydrate. Dry lead picrate is incredibly dangerous and cannot be handled without explosive decomposition occurring.

History 
Lead picrate was first discovered in the early 1900s. It was investigated by numerous militaries during the First World War as a potential primary explosive, most notably Germany for using it in blasting caps.

Preparation 
Numerous lead precursors can be used to create lead picrate. Two of the simplest examples of lead picrate synthesis are the addition of lead(II) oxide or lead carbonate with picric acid.

Bat-Yam International Biennale of Landscape Urbanism. Bat Yam International Biennale of Landscape Urbanism, "Urban Action," is a design project in Bat Yam, Israel dedicated to examining and re-designing city landscapes and lifestyles.

History
The first Biennale, was "Hosting," held in 2008. This event was dedicated to expanding notions of hosting and hospitality beyond the home and into public spaces. 

In 2010, the city hosted its second International Biennale of Landscape Urbanism, "Timing." This Biennale was dedicated to exploring the ways urban landscapes are constantly shifting. The projects in the Biennale showed how these changes and disruptions, usually annoyances to citizens, can be used as opportunities for civic engagement and a way to create a better quality of life. 

Biennale projects accompanied existing municipal projects and catalyzed activity by local residents, entrepreneurs and municipal bodies to re-think existing city patterns. The event attracted tens of thousands of local and international guests to the 41 Biennale sites, the simultaneous street theater festival and the city’s diverse open spaces. The curators of Timing were Sigal Barnir, a lecturer at the Bezalel Academy of Art & Design in Jerusalem and Yael Moria-Klain, a professor of landscape architecture at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa.

Larson D-1. The Larson D-1 was an agricultural biplane that was purpose-built to replace Boeing Stearman cropdusters.

Development
In 1955, Merle Larson designed the D-1 with updated features to improve cropdusting compared to the popular Boeing Stearman in use at the time. The aircraft used only 25 percent of the number of parts as a Stearman.

Design
The biplane featured a steel tube fuselage, and aluminum covered wings. The fuselage was fabric covered only to behind the cockpit, leaving the rest of the tail structure exposed, preventing dust buildup in the tail. The aircraft had twin rudders mounted outboard of the spray trail. Each of these were all-moving with anti-servo tabs. Standard automotive wheels and tires were employed to reduce cost as low-cost World War II surplus was becoming too old, and new aviation tires cost nearly five times as much.

Grossite. Grossite is a calcium aluminium oxide mineral with formula CaAl4O7. It is a colorless to white vitreous mineral which crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system.

Grossite was first described 1994 for an occurrence in the Hatrurim Formation of Israel. It was named for Shulamit Gross (1923–2012) of the Geological Survey of Israel.

It occurs within high temperature metamorphosed impure limestone of the Hatrurim Formation and also within calcium-aluminium rich inclusions in chondritic meteorites. Associated minerals in the Hatrurium include brownmillerite, mayenite and larnite. In meteorites it occurs with perovskite, melilite, hibonite, spinel and calcium rich pyroxene.

Apache Hama. Apache Hama  is a distributed computing framework based on bulk synchronous parallel computing techniques for massive scientific computations e.g., matrix,  and  algorithms. Originally a sub-project of Hadoop, it became an Apache Software Foundation top level project in 2012. It was created by Edward J. Yoon, who named it (short for "Hadoop Matrix Algebra"), and Hama also means hippopotamus in Yoon's native Korean language (하마), following the trend of naming Apache projects after animals and zoology (such as Apache Pig). Hama was inspired by Google's Pregel large-scale graph computing framework described in 2010. When executing graph algorithms, Hama showed a fifty-fold performance increase relative to Hadoop.

Retired in April 2020, project resources are made available as part of the Apache Attic. Yoon cited issues of installation, scalability, and a difficult programming model for its lack of adoption.

Architecture 
Hama consists of three major components: BSPMaster, GroomServers and Zookeeper.

BSPMaster 
BSPMaster is responsible for:
 Maintaining groom server status
 Controlling super steps in a cluster
 Maintaining job progress information
 Scheduling jobs and assigning tasks to groom servers
 Disseminating execution class across groom servers
 Controlling fault
 Providing users with the cluster control interface.

A BSP Master and multiple grooms are started by the script. Then, the bsp master starts up with a RPC server for groom servers. Groom servers starts up with a BSPPeer instance and a RPC proxy to contact the bsp master. After started, each groom periodically sends a heartbeat message that encloses its groom server status, including maximum task capacity, unused memory, and so on.

Each time the BSP master receives a heartbeat message, it brings up-to-date groom server status - the bsp master makes use of groom servers' status in order to effectively assign tasks to idle groom servers - and returns a heartbeat response that contains assigned tasks and others actions that a groom server has to do. For now, we have a FIFO job scheduler and very simple task assignment algorithms.

GroomServer 
A groom server (shortly referred to as groom) is a process that performs BSP tasks assigned by BSPMaster. Each groom contacts the BSPMaster, and it takes assigned tasks and reports its status by means of periodical piggybacks with BSPMaster. Each groom is designed to run with HDFS or other distributed storages. Basically, a groom server and a data node should be run on one physical node.

Zookeeper 
A Zookeeper is used to manage the efficient barrier synchronisation of the BSPPeers.

Cable router. "Cable router" has two basic meanings:

 Single Cable Router (SCR) - a down-conversion device for the radio data link. It converts RF signal from a satellite dish or TV antenna to the user-defined IF channel. Usually, many SCRs are connected to a single coaxial cable - each converting to a separate IF channel. The entire system referred to as Single Cable Distribution.
 A piece of computer network equipment located between cable modem and LAN, performing functions of the network router in a modem.

Cable routers are usually integrated with the modem, frequently incorporating  firewall, proxy, or network gateway functions as well.

Chemical resistance. The chemical resistance of a material or surface can be determined in compliance with ISO 2812 Paints and varnishes – Determination of resistance to liquids – Part 1: Immersion in liquids other than water (ISO 2812-1:2007); German Version EN ISO 2812-1:2007 or Part 4: Spotting methods (ISO 2812-4:2007); German Version EN ISO 2812-4:2007. With these methods, a material or surface is exposed to the relevant chemical for a longer, defined period of time and the relevant area then inspected microscopically. Possible changes which could occur include:
 Discoloration
 Alteration in the degree of shine
 Softening
 Swelling
 Detachment of coatings
 Blistering
On completion of the defined test period, any residues of test liquid are removed and the material surface assessed and analyzed for visible alterations in accordance with DIN EN ISO 4628-1 to -5. To ascertain a possible regeneration time, the assessment is made once immediately after removal of the test liquid and again one hour later. In compliance with DIN EN ISO 4628-1, the following criteria are grouped into Classes 0 to 5: amount of damage (N), size of damage (S) and intensity of alteration (I). Any other changes observed are also noted. The assessment is made as shown below:

“Blistering, N2-S2” or “Discoloration, I1”

Any increase in the concentration of the test liquid on a surface due to drying in the real cleanroom environment must also be taken into consideration.
The test procedure proves whether a material or surface is “resistant”, “partially resistant” or “not resistant” to a specific chemical over a defined period of time.

Hit-testing. In computer graphics programming, hit-testing (hit detection, picking, or pick correlation) is the process of determining whether a user-controlled cursor (such as a mouse cursor or touch-point on a touch-screen interface) intersects a given graphical object (such as a shape, line, or curve) drawn on the screen. Hit-testing may be performed on the movement or activation of a mouse or other pointing device.

Hit-testing is used by GUI environments to respond to user actions, such as selecting a menu item or a target in a game based on its visual location. In web programming languages such as HTML, SVG, and CSS, this is associated with the concept of pointer-events (e.g. user-initiated cursor movement or object selection).

Collision detection is a related concept for detecting intersections of two or more different graphical objects, rather than intersection of a cursor with one or more graphical objects.

Algorithm
There are many different algorithms that may be used to perform hit-testing, with different performance or accuracy outcomes. One common hit-test algorithm for axis aligned bounding boxes. A key idea is that the box being tested must be either entirely above, entirely below, entirely to the right or left of the current box.  If this is not possible, they are colliding.  Example logic is presented in the pseudo-code below:
function HitTest(Rectangle r1, Rectangle r2) returns boolean
{
    return not((r1.X + r1.Width < r2.X) or (r1.X > r2.X + r2.Width) or (r1.Y + r1.Height < r2.Y) or (r1.Y > r2.Y + r2.Height));
}

In Python:
def hit_test(r1: Rectangle, r2: Rectangle) -> bool:
    """Return true if it hits else return false."""
    return (
        not (r1.x + r1.width < r2.x)
        or (r1.x > r2.x + r2.width)
        or (r1.y + r1.Height < r2.y)
        or (r1.y > r2.y + r2.height)
    )
