Lee Stiff. Lee Vernon Stiff (February 4, 1949 - March 19, 2021) was an American mathematics education researcher; a professor in the Department of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education and the Associate Dean for Faculty and Academic Affairs in the College of Education at North Carolina State University (NCSU); and the author of several mathematics textbooks. In his 72 years of living he wrote many books.

Stiff's father was "a factory worker with only a third-grade education". Stiff studied mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, graduating in 1971, and went on to earn a master's degree from Duke University in 1974 and a doctorate in mathematics education from North Carolina State University in 1978. After teaching mathematics at the middle school and high school levels, and then holding a faculty position at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte beginning in 1978, he returned to NCSU in 1983.

From 2000 to 2002 Stiff was president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). Under his leadership, the NCTM pushed for a greater emphasis on basic computational skills in elementary and secondary school mathematics education, and for an appropriate emphasis on conceptual understanding. Stiff rejected simple solutions to complex issues, saying that "Back to basics is moving backward. Number-crunching alone is no longer enough." Instead, Stiff has recommended better training and incentives for mathematics teachers, a teaching style that incorporates a variety of ways of looking at the same material, and an attitude that all students can learn mathematics regardless of their background.

In 1995 he was a Fulbright scholar in Ghana. In 2010 the NC State College of Education gave him their Distinguished Alumni Award. In 2015 he received the Benjamin Banneker Lifetime Achievement Award, in 2017 he was given the TODOS Iris M. Carl Leadership and Equity Award, and in 2019 he was honored with the NCTM Lifetime Achievement Award.

In 2019, with Drs. Valerie Faulkner and Patricia Marshall, he wrote the critically important work, The Stories We Tell: Math, Race, Bias, and Opportunity, which "...sits the "gap problem" on the doorsteps of schools and districts and off the backs of children and parents."

Annular fin. In thermal engineering, an annular fin is a specific type of fin used in heat transfer that varies, radially, in cross-sectional area. Adding an annular fin to an object increases the amount of surface area in contact with the surrounding fluid, which increases the convective heat transfer between the object and surrounding fluid. Because surface area increases as length from the object increases, an annular fin transfers more heat than a similar pin fin at any given length. Annular fins are often used to increase the heat exchange in liquid–gas heat exchanger systems.

Governing Equation 

To derive the governing equation of an annular fin, certain assumptions must be made. The fin must have constant thermal conductivity and other material properties, there must be no internal heat generation, there must be only one-dimensional conduction, and the fin must be at steady state. 

Applying the energy conservation principle to a differential element between radii r and r + Δr yields

where the first two terms are heat transferred through conduction, while the third is heat lost due to convection with the surrounding fluid. T represents the temperature at r and Te represents the temperature of the surrounding fluid. Next, applying Fourier's law

and dividing by 4πΔr, letting Δr → 0, yields

Assigning new variables z

 

and θ, where Tb is the temperature at the base of the fin,

results in the governing equation for heat transfer of an annular fin:

Heat loss and efficiency 
The maximum possible heat loss from an annular fin occurs when the fin is isothermal. This ensures that the temperature difference between the fin and the surrounding fluid is maximized at every point along the fin, increasing heat transfer by convection, and ultimately heat loss Q:

The efficiency ηf of an annular fin is the ratio of its heat loss to the heat loss of a similar isothermal fin:

Flood Control Act of 1950. Title II of Public Law 516-81st Congress, which per Section 216 thereof may be cited as The Flood Control Act of 1950, was a law passed by the United States Congress authorizing flood control projects around the country.

The Act was prompted in part by floods that swept through the Columbia River watershed in 1948, destroying Vanport, then the second largest city in Oregon, and impacting cities as far north as Trail, British Columbia. By that time, local communities had become wary of federal hydroelectric projects, and sought local control of new developments.  One consequence was that a public utility district in Grant County, Washington ultimately began construction of the dam at Priest Rapids.

Basic call state model. In Intelligent Network and CAMEL switching, a BCSM is a Basic Call State Model.

Types
 O-BCSM (Originating BCSM)
 T-BCSM (Terminating BCSM)
A fundamental concept for IN control is the basic call state model (BCSM). When a call is processed
by an exchange, the call goes through a number of pre-defined phases. These phases of the call are
described in the BCSM. The BCSM generally follows the ISUP signalling of a call

Haig Minibat. The Haig Minibat is a high-wing, single-seat tailless motor glider that was designed by Larry Haig, and first flown in 1979.  At one time available as plans or in kit form for amateur construction. The kit is no longer available.

Design and development
The Minibat was designed by Haig as a motor glider, but without self-launching capabilities, instead the aircraft is launched by aerotow, winch launching or auto-tow. The small chainsaw engine provides enough power to ensure a positive rate of climb and prevent land-outs, but not enough power for launching. The design goal was a glider with slightly greater performance than the Schweizer 1-26.

The Minibat is constructed predominantly from foam and fiberglass and features a monowheel landing gear. The engine is mounted in the rear fuselage in pusher configuration, with the propeller mounted unconventionally between the fuselage and the rudder. Wingtip extensions are available which increase the wingspan to  and raise the aircraft's glide ratio from 23:1 with the standard  wings to 30:1.

Operational history
In March 2011 there were ten Minibats registered with the Federal Aviation Administration in the USA.

Kaipara Tidal Power Station. The Kaipara tidal power station was a proposed tidal power project to be located in the Kaipara Harbour.  The project was being developed by Crest Energy, with an ultimate size of 200MW at a cost of $600 million. Consent for part of the project was granted in 2011, but it was put on hold in 2013 and has not progressed since.

Crest Energy planned to place up to 200 turbines at least 30 metres deep along a ten kilometre stretch of the main channel. Historical charts show this stretch of the channel has changed little over 150 years. The output of the turbines would cycle twice daily with the predictable rise and fall of the tide. Each turbine was expected to have a maximum output of 1.2 MW, and generate 0.75 MW averaged over time.

In 2013, it was announced that the project had been put on hold, and most of the shares in Crest Energy had been sold to Todd Energy. Uncertainty in the power market was blamed for the demise of the project by Anthony Hopkins, founding director of Crest Energy.

Kaipara Harbour
The entrance to Kaipara Harbour, one of the largest harbours in the world, is a channel to the Tasman Sea. It narrows to a width of , and is over  deep in parts. On average, Kaipara tides rise and fall . At high tide, nearly 1000 square kilometres are flooded. Spring tidal flows reach 9 km/h (5 knots) in the entrance channel and move 1,990 million cubic meters per tidal movement or 7,960 million cubic meters daily.

Consents
In 2008, the Northland Regional Council granted resource consents for only 100 turbines.  This was appealed to the Environment Court, which in 2011 set conditions for the project allowing for 200 turbines, with many conditions including staged development.  The minister of conservation granted resource consents for the project in March 2011. The consents lapsed 10 years after they were granted, in early 2021.
