Dario Pegoretti. Dario Pegoretti (18 January 1956 – 23 August 2018) was an Italian bicycle framebuilder based for many years in Caldonazzo, outside the town of Trento, in the Dolomites, Italy, and then later for a few years in Verona, Italy.

He was widely considered to be one of the great contemporary steel and aluminum bicycle framebuilders and a pioneer of lugless TIG welded frames.

Career
Pegoretti used only steel and aluminum to create his frames, primarily using drawn tubes (including custom shapes based on his specifications and designs)  from Excell, Dedacciai, and most recently Columbus. His most recent models included the Responsorium, Day is Done, Big Leg Emma, Mxxxxxo, Duende, Luigino, Love #3, and 8:30AM.

He apprenticed with master Italian framebuilder Luigino Milani, who was also his father-in-law.

Pegoretti designed and built frames that were ridden by professional cyclists Miguel Indurain, Marco Pantani, Stephen Roche, Claudio Chiappucci, Mario Cipollini, and Andrea Tafi among others.  He started out as a contract builder, making frames that were then branded by other manufacturers, including some Pinarello models, until the American distributor Giorgio Andretta/GITA convinced him to build under his own name. Floyd Landis owns and rides a Love #3.  He supplied comedian Robin Williams with bikes that the actor regularly used and particularly admired; and Williams also gave them as gifts.

Pegoretti also created custom paint and graphics designs for customers. The 'ciavate' paint scheme is entirely hand-painted by Dario and originally drew inspiration from Jean-Michel Basquiat. His work was highly creative, inventive, and very influenced by his deep love of music. His frame model names and graphic often included references to and/or quotations of his favorite musical and prose pieces.

In addition to running his framebuilding studio, Mr. Pegoretti was also a respected teacher, and lectured and taught seminars at various design schools.

Dario Pegoretti's famous slogan was "fatti con le  mani" ("made by hand") and he lived this motto completely. He constantly combined aspects of art, craft, and creativity, of the highest order and as very few if any bicycle framebuilders ever have.

Illness
In 2007, Pegoretti was diagnosed with lymphoma but had recovered.

On 23 August 2018 Dario Pegoretti died of heart failure at approximately 19:00 hours in Verona, Italy.

Awards
Pegoretti won the President's Choice award at the 2007 North American Handmade Bicycle Show and framebuilder of the year at the 2008 show.

Wayne B. Nottingham Prize. The Wayne B. Nottingham Prize is awarded annually at the Physical Electronics Conference (PEC), a conference that focuses on new research results in the field of surface science and in the sub-fields of physics and chemistry of interfaces. It was established from contributions given in memory of Professor Wayne B. Nottingham of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) by many of his friends and associates. The prize currently consists of a certificate and in 1974 was $200 but has increased recently to $1,500, and is awarded to the best student paper presented at the conference. A student paper is defined as a paper based on a Ph.D. thesis whose date of submission to the faculty is no earlier than one year before the meeting at which the Prize is given.

It was first given in March 1966 at MIT and in March thereafter until February 1974 when the PEC was held at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey. This adjustment was to avoid overlap in time with the American Physical Society's March meeting which in the 1970s was about 30 times larger than the PEC. Due to the weather in February leading to icy roads and delays in the scheduled events, in 1975 the PEC was moved to June where it still is today.

End-of-Text character. The End-of-Text character (ETX) is a control character used to inform the receiving computer that the end of a record has been reached. This may or may not be an indication that all of the data in a record have been received. It is often used in conjunction with Start of Text (STX) and Data Link Escape (DLE), e.g., to distinguish data frames in the data link layer. All this use is pretty much obsolete, except in modem communication (AT command set).

In both ASCII and EBCDIC, ETX is code point 0x03, often displayed as , and a (ASCII) terminal can send it by typing .

Control-C is often used to interrupt a program or process, a standard that started with Dec operating systems. In TOPS-20, it was used to gain the system's attention before logging in. mIRC uses ETX as the escape character to start a command to set the color.

Tanabe Sakuro. was a Japanese civil engineer and early pioneer in the development of hydro electric power. 

Tanabe’s most famous achievement was the Lake Biwa Canal that runs from Lake Biwa to Kyoto city. For his work as Chief Engineer directing the project and paper entitled “The Lake Biwa - Kyoto Canal” published in 1894, Tanabe was awarded a Telford Medal by the British Institution of Civil Engineers. The canal passes through a series of tunnels and was the site of Japan's first Hydro-electric power station.

Tanabe worked for many years as a Director for the Hokkaidō Kansetsu Railway. In 1916 Tanabe was appointed Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at Kyoto Imperial University.

Early life and education
Tanabe was born Edo in 1861, the son of a noted Confucian scholar. In April 1877 he commenced studies under the direction of Henry Dyer at the Imperial College of Engineering. Tanabe graduated in May 1883 with a graduation thesis written in English entitled ‘Lake Biwa Canal Construction Project’. Tanabe and Dyer kept up a correspondence for many years after Dyer returned to Scotland and Tanabe had the opportunity to visit Dyer in Glasgow in both 1900 and in 1913.

During his practical training in engineering, Tanabe lost the use of his right hand in an accident. He subsequently learnt to use his left hand to write.

REME Museum. The REME Museum, also known as the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers Museum, is a military museum of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME); the corps of the British Army responsible for the maintenance, servicing, inspection, and recovery of electrical and mechanical vehicles and equipment.  The museum holds collections of technological and historical artefacts associated with the work of the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers.

Founded in , at the REME depot in Arborfield, Berkshire, the museum subsequently closed in 2015 at Aborfield, pending relocation of the REME in the United Kingdom.  Since 2017, the museum is now located within the MoD Lyneham site, a former Royal Air Force (RAF) airbase near Lyneham in Wiltshire, England, about  south-west of Swindon.

History

The REME Museum started in 1958 in Arborfield, Berkshire, in two rooms of Moat House, the former commander's accommodation of the Arborfield Army Remount Service Depot.  Over time, the museum moved to a neighbouring building and expanded to allow more objects and vehicles to be displayed.

In April 2015, the museum closed in preparation for the relocation of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers from Berkshire to MoD Lyneham in Wiltshire, as part of the Defence Technical Training Change Programme.  The former Royal Air Force (RAF) Officers' Mess at the then closed RAF Lyneham was modified to provide a new home for the museum.  This allowed a complete refresh of the displays and layout, as well as providing upgraded facilities that are made available to the public.  The new museum opened to the public in June 2017.

Collection

The following British Army military vehicles are on display:

Aircraft
BAE Phoenix UAV
Westland Scout
Land vehicles
Scammell Pioneer
FV434 Armoured Repair Vehicle
Sherman Beach Armoured Recovery Vehicle (BARV)
Challenger Armoured Repair and Recovery Vehicle (CRARRV)
FV106 Samson ARV
International Half Track
Morris Commercial

Modeling and Analysis of Real Time and Embedded systems. Modeling and Analysis of Real Time and Embedded systems also known as MARTE is the OMG standard for modeling real-time and embedded applications with UML2.

Description 
The UML modeling language has been extended by the OMG consortium to support model-driven development of real-time and embedded application. This extension has been defined via a UML2 profile called MARTE (Modeling and Analysis of Real-Time and Embedded systems). It consists mainly of four parts:
 a core framework defining the basic concepts required to support real-time and embedded domain.
 a first specialization (refinement) of this core package to support pure modeling of applications (e.g. hardware and software platform modeling).
 a second specialization (refinement) of this core package to support quantitative analysis of UML2 models, specially schedulability and performance analysis.
 a last part gathering all the MARTE annexes such as the one defining a textual language for value specification within UML2 models, and the one conflating the standard MARTE model libraries dedicated to RT/E system modeling.

The MARTE specification is publicly available on the OMG web site. Currently, two open-source tools are available for system modeling using the MARTE profile: Modelio provides an open source modeling environment for designing high level UML models using the MARTE profile, and also provides guidelines on the utilization of MARTE profile; while an open-source implementation based on Eclipse of the MARTE profile  is available in Papyrus UML. This latter is running within the Eclipse UML2 plug-in and within the open-source tool for UML2 Papyrus.

Core 
The core part of MARTE is made of five chapters.
 CoreElements;
 Non-Functional Properties: This chapter specifies some notations to define various kinds of values related to physical quantities: time, mass, energy;
 Time: This chapter defines a rich model of time that supports both the definition of physical and logical time properties;. It comes with a companion language called CCSL defined as an annex.
 Generic Resource Modeling: This chapter offers extensions required to model a general platform for executing real-time embedded applications;
 Allocation Modeling: Finally, this chapter defines a notion of allocation to allocate application elements onto the execution platforms. A specific attention has been given to maintain compatibility with SysML allocation mechanism.

Notes 

Unified Modeling Language
DbExpress. dbExpress is Embarcadero's data driver architecture that replaced the older Borland Database Engine. First released with Borland Delphi 6 and C++Builder 6, it has gone through several iterations itself, the latest being shipped with Embarcadero Delphi and C++ Builder RX 10 Seattle. It provides unidirectional database access, that means you can traverse data obtained from a database table only in the forward direction. You cannot go back, unless you add other layers. This makes dbExpress a very fast access technology, compared to many others.
Updates has to be done with other in the IDE integrated components as the "DatasetProvider", which assembles automatically appropriate Update-Statements ( in SQL ).

Embarcadero supplies drivers for many databases, including Oracle, Firebird, InterBase, IBM Db2, Informix, SQL Server, MySQL and ODBC. Additional drivers are available from third parties. Starting with Delphi 2007 (dbExpress 4 generation) a tracing driver is included as well which allows for logging all statements sent to the database.

Prior to version 4 of dbExpress the drivers used the Microsoft COM technology and most drivers were not unicode enabled. Nowadays the drivers are written in Delphi itself and source code for most parts is available. Most drivers today are unicode enabled since Delphi itself switched to unicode with version 2009.

Micromeritics. Micromeritics is the science of the behavior of particulate materials smaller than 75 μm.  It is thus the study of the fundamental and derived properties of individual as well as a collection of particles. Micromeritics involves materials with larger particles than nanoparticles where they are smaller than 0.1 μm.

The knowledge and control of the size of particles has importance in pharmacy and materials science. The size, and hence the surface area of a particle, can be related to the physical, chemical and pharmacological properties of drugs. Clinically, the particle size of a drug can affect its release from dosage forms that are administered orally, parenterally, rectally and topically. The successful formulation of suspensions, emulsions and tablets; both physical stability and pharmacological response also depends on the particle size achieved in the product.

Origin
The term was coined by Joseph Marius DallaValle in his book Micromeritics: The Technology of Fine Particles (1948). It was derived from the Greek words  meaning "small" and  meaning "part". The size range which he covered in the book was from 100 nm to 100 mm. Anything smaller than this but bigger than a molecule was referred to at the time as a colloid but is now often referred to as a nanoparticle.

Applications included soil physics, mineral physics, chemical engineering, geology, and hydrology. Characteristics discussed included particle size and shape, packing, electrical, optical, chemical and surface science.

Applications

Release and dissolution

Particle size and surface area influence the release of a drug from a dosage form that is administered orally, rectally, parenterally, and topically. Higher surface area brings about intimate contact of the drug with the dissolution fluids in vivo and increases the drug solubility and dissolution.

Absorption and drug action

Particle size and surface area influence the drug absorption and subsequently the therapeutic action. The higher the dissolution, the faster the absorption and hence the quicker and greater the drug action.

Physical stability

Micromeritic properties of a particle, i.e. the particle size in a formulation, influence the physical stability of the suspensions and emulsions. The smaller the size of the particle, the better the physical stability of the dosage form owing to the Brownian motion of the particles in the dispersion.

Dose uniformity

Good flow properties of granules and powders are important in the manufacturing of tablets and capsules. The distribution of particles should be uniform in terms of number and weight. Very small particle size causes attraction, which in turn destabilises the suspension by coagulating.

PKP class SM15. The SM15 (factory designation 12D) is a Polish diesel shunter used by PKP and industry  — where it carried the designation Ls750H. It is based on the Soviet ТГМ3 (TGM3) locomotive.

History

Between the years 1963–1966, a total of 56 locomotives had been produced — 27 of which were used by PKP. Of the latter 27, the first two units (SM15-01 and SM15-02) were built at the Людиновский тепловозостроительный завод (en: Lyudinovo Diesel Locomotive Factory) and exported to Poland. Production then resumed at the Fablok factory in Chrzanów where the remaining 25 units, earmarked for PKP, were built.

The newly built SM15s were assigned to the depot in Kraków Płaszów, before being withdrawn from service in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the SM42 series replaced them. Despite their relatively short operational history, the engineers who drove the locomotives remember them as being very powerful machines.

Technical data
The SM15 is equipped with a Soviet 550 kW diesel engine (a number of SM15s had Polish V12CD9 engines installed, rather than the Soviet variant) with hydromechanical transmission. Certain models destined for use in industry had hydraulic transmission, and these carried the designation Ls750Hu. The SM15 is a B′B′ locomotive, which means that the unit runs on two bogies, with all axles powered.

The main reason behind the SM15's short operational lifespan was the unreliability of its transmission and power units.

Preserved Units
Currently, there are three known examples of the SM15 in preservation:

SM15-17 is an exhibit at the Warsaw Railway Museum
SM15-22 has been kept back as a monument at the Technical Rail College in Tarnowskie Góry
