Rosings Industrier. Rosings Industrier is a manufacturing company based in Skytta, Nittedal, Norway.

It was founded on 18 November 1895 in Kristiania by Ulrik Fredrik A. Rosing under the name Ulrik Rosing Gjærdeforretning. It produced fences and pedestrian bridges from steel wire; larger bridges constructed by the company include those over Glomma near Borregaard and also at Rånåsfoss. The company name was changed to Rosings Bro- og Gjærdeforretning in 1908, and Rosings Bro- og Gjærdefabrik in 1913. It was owned by Christian D. H. Poppe from 1908, from 1911 jointly with Christian August Steenfeldt-Foss, and from 1913 solely by Steenfeldt-Foss.

The company started manufacturing gates in the 1920s, and expanded with garage gates when automobiles became more usual after the Second World War. After the end of the 1950s it concentrated mainly on fences and related products.

Steenfeldt-Foss died in 1960. The company was bought by Andor Oskarsen in 1972, who changed the name to Rosings Gjerdefabrikk og Mek Verksted. The company expanded with industrial facilities in Nes, Akershus in 1979 and Skytta in 1984, where the entire company was now relocated. In 1987 the production part of the company was renamed Rosings Industrier, while the older company name continued in a demerged branch which dealt with estate management. The actual metal production was demerged in 2004 as Rosmek, as Morten Oskarsen became the main shareholder. Rosings Industrier is now the parent company for Rosings Handel, Rosings Områdesikring and Rosings Portsystemer while Rosmek is independent.

Anthony Inglis (shipbuilder). Anthony Inglis, (1813–1884) was a Scottish journeyman blacksmith, engineer and shipbuilder who set-up and managed the well known shipyard A. & J. Inglis in Pointhouse Glasgow together with his brother John Inglis.

Career 

In 1837 he founded a company to provide smithwork especially to shipbuilders, from premises in Anderston. In 1847 his younger brother, John Inglis (1819–1888), joined him, who had learned the craft of marine engineering and whose practicable skills added another dimension to the company. Together they founded the company A. & J. Inglis in 1847.

They moved to larger premises in Warroch Street, Anderston, where they began to focus on marine work. In 1850 they obtained their first major marine contract, to supply the machinery for the tug ‘Clyde’. From then onwards the company grew in strength and rapidly earned a reputation for ability and at least equality to much larger and longer established firms. In 1855, the Inglis brothers provided the machinery of the large screw steamer Tasmanian, one of the largest and fastest vessels built up until that date. The success of the ‘Tasmanian’ caught the attention of William Mac Kinnon who established the British India Steam Navigation Company and the Imperial British East Africa Company. From that moment the name Inglis became synonymous with fine design and engineering. Success followed success and before long the Warroch Street premises had to be extended to cope with the increased scope of work and award of contracts.

In 1862, the Inglis brothers decided to add shipbuilding to their engineering repertoire and for this purpose acquired an area of land in Glasgow at the confluence of the River Kelvin with the River Clyde, on which the Pointhouse Yard had existed since 1845 under ownership of Thomas B. Seath. The site was limited in size but it became an extremely important and credible shipyard run by the Inglis family to exceptionally high standards. From this Yard there came many classic designs and creations of maritime beauty and success, along with the normal workmanlike dredgers, tugs, coasters, barges, tankers and whalers. After the death of Anthony Inglis in 1884 his son John Inglis took over the management of the family firm.

John Inglis (shipbuilder). John Inglis LLD (1842 in Glasgow – 1919) was a Scottish engineer and shipbuilder who managed the well-known shipyard A. & J. Inglis in Pointhouse Glasgow, which had been set up by his father Anthony Inglis and his uncle John Inglis.

Career 

He was brought up at 76 Clyde Street in the Anderson district of Glasgow.

John Inglis left school at the age of 14 years and entered Glasgow University where, although his objective was engineering science, he studied the Arts. He gained high distinctions in Mathematics, Natural Philosophy and Engineering Science. On completion of his academic studies he then was apprenticed as an engineer in the shipyard of his father and uncle, just like any other candidate for an engineering profession. To prepare himself for the foreseeable managing role he moved from department to department, from machine shop to drawing office, from moulding loft to building yard, and gained experience in all aspects of the business.

In 1867 he married Agnes Denny, a daughter of the famous Dumbarton shipbuilding family. In 1884 after the death of his father he took over the management of the family owned shipyard A. & J. Inglis.

He was skilled and very keen yachtsman and applied his knowledge to the company's yacht design. The yachts designed and built by A. & J. Inglis were leading the field. The shipyard became famous by building the British Royal Yacht  and the Egyptian Royal Yacht  and consequently the Khedive of Egypt conferred on him the award of Commander of the Order of Osmanieh.

Glasgow University gave him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws, and the Institution of Engineers & Shipbuilders in Scotland elected him as their President in 1893. In 1900 the Institute of Marine Engineers conferred upon him the same honour. He was also selected of Lord Goschen’s Naval Boilers Committee and was a Director of the North British Railway Company along with several other honorable appointments.

In later life he lived at 4 Princes Terrace in the Dowanhill district of north-west Glasgow.

He died on 13 July 1919. He is buried in the Glasgow Necropolis. The grave lies at the north end of one of the north-south rows on the eastern side of the upper plateau.

Family
He was married to Agnes Denny (d.1925). Their sons included Dr Anthony Inglis, George Alexander Inglis and James Denny Inglis.

Moore SS-1. The Moore SS-1 is an American high-wing, single seat, FAI Standard Class glider that was designed and constructed by Arien C. Moore of Sweet Home, Oregon.

Design and development
Moore built the SS-1 over a period of just under three years, completing it in 1966, with assistance from his wife and son.

The SS-1 is of predominantly aluminium construction, with the wing partly covered with sheet aluminium and partly with doped aircraft fabric covering. The aircraft also has some fiberglass fairings. The entire aircraft is flush riveted, except the aft fuselage. The cantilever semi-tapered wing is of a  span and employs a NACA 65-618 airfoil. The wing features DFS-style dive brakes. The landing gear is a fixed monowheel that is faired. The cockpit canopy is optional and the aircraft can be flown open cockpit.

The aircraft cost just under US$3000 to complete in 1966. It was donated to the US Southwest Soaring Museum, where it is on display.

Operational history
The SS-1 was featured on the cover of the Soaring Society of America's January 1974 issue of Soaring Magazine.

The builder made several flights to  and as far as  in the SS-1.

Marcus' method. Marcus's method is a structural analysis used in the design of reinforced concrete slabs. The method was developed by Henri Marcus and described in 1938 in . The method adapts the strip method and is based on an elastic analysis of torsionally restrained two-way rectangular slabs with a uniformly distributed load. Marcus introduced a correction factor to the existing Rankine Grashoff theory in order to account for torsional restraints at the corners.

Multimedia fugacity model. Multimedia fugacity model is a model in environmental chemistry that summarizes the processes controlling chemical behavior in environmental media by developing and applying of mathematical statements or "models" of chemical fate.

Most chemicals have the potential to migrate from the medium to medium. Multimedia fugacity models are utilized to study and predict the behavior of chemicals in different environmental compartments.

The models are formulated using the concept of fugacity, which was introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in 1901 as a criterion of equilibrium and convenient method of calculating multimedia equilibrium partitioning.
The fugacity of chemicals is a mathematical expression that describes the rates at which chemicals diffuse, or are transported between phases. The transfer rate is proportional to the fugacity difference that exists between the source and destination phases.
For building the model, the initial step is to set up a mass balance equation for each phase in question that includes fugacities, concentrations, fluxes and amounts. The important values are the proportionality constant, called fugacity capacity expressed as Z-values (SI unit: mol/m3 Pa) for a variety of media, and transport parameters expressed as D-values (SI unit: mol/Pa h) for processes such as advection, reaction and intermedia transport. The Z-values are calculated using the equilibrium partitioning coefficients of the chemicals, Henry's law constant and other related physical-chemical properties.

Application of models
There are four levels of multimedia fugacity Models applied for prediction of fate and transport of organic chemicals in the multicompartmental environment:

Depending on the number of phases and complexity of processes different level models are applied. Many of the models apply to steady-state conditions and can be reformulated to describe time-varying conditions by using differential equations. The concept has been used to assess the relative propensity for chemicals to transform from temperate zones and “condense out” at the polar regions.
The multicompartmental approach has been applied to the “quantitative water air sediment interaction" or "QWASI" model designed to assist in understanding chemical fate in lakes. Another application found in POPCYCLING-BALTIC model, which is describing fate of persistent organic pollutants in Baltic region.

Hillson Helvellyn. 

The Hillson Helvellyn was a 1940s British two-seat training monoplane designed by Norman Sykes and built by F Hills & Sons of Trafford Park.

Design and development
With the prospect of war and the requirement for the Royal Air Force to train pilots the company decided to design a small basic trainer that could be built quickly and cheaply. The Helvellyn was a mid-wing monoplane with two tandem open cockpits and powered by a  Blackburn Cirrus Minor I piston engine. It had a conventional landing gear but was designed to be fitted with a tricycle landing gear.

Designed by Norman Sykes and built at Trafford Park in Manchester in 1939, only the prototype registered G-AFKT was completed. With an ample supply of de Havilland Tiger Moths and Miles Magisters and a lack of interest from the RAF development was stopped in 1940 and the prototype was used by the company as a liaison aircraft particularly between Barton and Ispwich. It was dismantled in November 1942.

Electroviscous effects. Electroviscous effects, in chemistry of colloids and surface chemistry, according to an IUPAC definition, are the effects of the particle surface charge on viscosity of a fluid.

Viscoelectric is an effect by which an electric field near a charged interface influences the structure of the surrounding fluid and affects the viscosity of the fluid.

Kinematic viscosity of a fluid, η,  can be expressed as a function of electric potential gradient (electric field), , by an equation in the form:

where f is the viscoelectric coefficient of the fluid.

The value of f for water (ambient temperature) has been estimated to be (0.5–1.0) × 10−15 V−2 m2.

Toshiba Pasopia 7. Toshiba Pasopia 7 (also known as PA7007) is a computer from manufacturer Toshiba, released in 1983 and only available in Japan, with a price of $1350. 

It was intended as the successor of the Toshiba Pasopia, offering improved sound and graphics. The machine is partially compatible with the original Pasopia, and supports connecting cartridge-type peripherals. 

Graphic memory is increased to 48 KB and two SN76489 sound chips are available, producing six five-octave channels and two noise channels. 

A new version of the operating system, T-BASIC7, is also available. This version is based on Microsoft BASIC and adds specific commands for this model, such as higher numerical precision or support for extra colors.

Available peripherals for the Pasopia 7 are a 5" disk drive, a Chinese characters ROM, a RS-232 interface and a printer. The keyboard is full-stroke JIS standard, with a separate numeric keypad and some function keys.

After 1988, some Pasopia 7 computers were donated to other countries (ex: Poland) under the "International Development of Computer Education Program".

Related models 
Released in 1985, the Pasopia 700 is based on the Pasopia 7, and was intended as a home learning system developed by Toshiba and Obunsha. Two disk-drives were added to the side of the main unit and the keyboard is separate. This machine has two cartridge slots (one at the front).

Color palette 
The Pasopia 7 uses hardware dithering to simulate intermediate color intensities, based on a mix of two of eight base RGB colors displayed using the 640 x 200 resolution. This allows the machine to display a maximum of 27 colors (3-level RGB).

The 8 base colors are displayed in bold.

Actual color limits depend on the graphic mode used:

 Text mode: characters in 8 base colors, graphics in 4 colors (from 27);
 Fine graphics mode: Kanji characters in 8 base colors, graphics in 8 colors (from 27);
 Palette function: 8 or 4 colors (from 27) depending on the overlap of Kanji and graphics;
 Hardware tiling function: 27 colors can be displayed by combining 2 pixels, with 8 base colors available per pixel.

Kellner-Béchereau E.1. The Kellner-Béchereau E.1 was an experimental single engine, single seat light aircraft, designed in France in the 1930s. It was a monoplane with a novel "double" wing, the rear part providing lift and lateral control as well as acting as slotted flaps.

Design and development
Louis Béchereau's career as an aircraft designer began before the First World War when he worked first for Armand Deperdussin and then Louis Bleriot. Towards the end of the war he joined Adolphe Bernard's newly founded company for a short time. In the 1930s, he set up Avions Kellner-Béchereau, a collaboration with the well known automobile coach builders Kellner. In 1936–1937 they built a short series of small monoplanes exploiting one of Béchereau's patents, a full span lateral division of the wing into two sections forming a "double wing" a little like that used by Junkers but with a more equal division of area. The Kellner-Béchereau E.1 was the first of these.

The E.1 was a wooden aircraft with spruce frames and plywood covering. It was a mid-wing cantilever monoplane with straight, thick section, constant chord wings of quite high aspect ratio (8.45). The lateral division was at about 65% chord, with the rear part joined to the front with conspicuous V-shaped faired underwing hinges. In normal flight the two parts were close together and the rear sections acted both as lifting surface and, differentially, ailerons but they could also be lowered together as slotted flaps, moving rearwards as well as down to produce a slot between fore and aft parts.
The fuselage was rectangular in cross section, with a single place open cockpit at the wing trailing edge, baggage space behind and an inverted in-line  Train 4T in the nose. A straight edged tailplane was mounted on the upper fuselage longerons and carried elevators with a small cut-out for rudder movement. The latter, mounted on a very narrow fin, was rectangular and extended to the bottom of the fuselage. The rear control surfaces were fabric covered. The E.1 had a conventional undercarriage with cantilever main legs hinged on the lower longerons, rubber sprung inside the fuselage.

After flight tests in 1936, the E.1 was developed into a pair of larger and more powerful side by side seat basic trainers, the wooden Kellner-Béchereau EC.4 and the metal Kellner-Béchereau ED.5, flown in 1937.

PMSEIC. The Prime Minister's Science, Engineering and Innovation Council (PMSEIC) is the Australian government's principal source of advice on science, engineering and innovation issues, as well as relevant aspects of education and training. When PMSEIC was created in 1997, it took over the responsibilities of the Australian Science, Technology and Engineering Council (ASTEC).

PMSEIC meets twice a year in full session and the non-ministerial members of PMSEIC, the standing committee, meet four times a year. Much of its work is undertaken through working groups. These groups are composed of members of the council as well as others co-opted from industry, universities, science agencies and government departments.

The Standing Committee responds to issues referred by the government, or by meetings of PMSEIC, and identifies and develops a range of issues to be considered by PMSEIC.
