Lapuz, Iloilo City. Lapuz () is a district in Iloilo City, Philippines, located in the province of Iloilo, on the island of Panay in the Western Visayas region. It is the smallest district by geographical area as well as the least populous district, with 31,747 people in the 2020 census.

Lapuz is home to many transportation infrastructures that play a vital role in regional connectivity and commerce. The Iloilo International Port Complex (IIPC) serves as a major maritime gateway, facilitating the movement of goods and cargo in and out of Iloilo City.

Lapuz also hosts other seaport terminals, such as the Iloilo Fastcraft and RORO terminals, which serve as terminals for fastcraft and roll-on/roll-off (RORO) vessels, respectively.

Etymology 
The name "Lapuz" is derived from its older name "Lapus-lapus", which came from the Hiligaynon word "lapus", which means "to insert/pass through" because of its location.

History
Lapuz, initially a sub-district of La Paz during the Spanish regime, eventually gained its own district status on December 17, 2008. Prior to this, Lapuz had been a part of the larger La Paz district within Iloilo City.

The decision to establish Lapuz as a separate district was made by the Sangguniang Panglungsod (City Council) of Iloilo City. This resolution was passed to enable Lapuz to have its own dedicated police station and fire station, ensuring the provision of essential services to the local community.

Geography 
Lapuz is the smallest district, covering . It is  from Iloilo City Proper, making it the nearest district to the city center. It's bordered by La Paz to the north and the City Proper to the west. It also faces eastward across the Iloilo Strait at Guimaras Island.

Wain's Hill. Wain's Hill is an univallate Iron Age hill fort situated approximately  south-west from the town of Clevedon in the North Somerset district of Somerset, England. The hillfort is defined by a steep, natural slope from the south and north with two ramparts to the east.

Background

Hill forts developed in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age, roughly the start of the first millennium BC. The reason for their emergence in Britain, and their purpose, has been a subject of debate. It has been argued that they could have been military sites constructed in response to invasion from continental Europe, sites built by invaders, or a military reaction to social tensions caused by an increasing population and consequent pressure on agriculture. The dominant view since the 1960s has been that the increasing use of iron led to social changes in Britain. Deposits of iron ore were located in different places to the tin and copper ore necessary to make bronze, and as a result trading patterns shifted and the old elites lost their economic and social status. Power passed into the hands of a new group of people. Archaeologist Barry Cunliffe believes that population increase still played a role and has stated "[the forts] provided defensive possibilities for the community at those times when the stress [of an increasing population] burst out into open warfare. But I wouldn't see them as having been built because there was a state of war. They would be functional as defensive strongholds when there were tensions and undoubtedly some of them were attacked and destroyed, but this was not the only, or even the most significant, factor in their construction".

Alexandria & Western Railway. The Alexandria & Western Railway was a regional railroad chartered on September 15, 1909 with George F. Cotter of Fort Worth, Texas, as its president and a number of investors from Kansas City, Missouri.  Its purpose was to transport lumber from Alexandria, Louisiana, west to Texas, though it only reached as far west as Gardner, Louisiana.  Construction began in early 1913 after the Bayou Rapides Lumber Company purchased 8,000 acres of land on the proposed right-of-way and guaranteed the railroad a steady supply of lumber to haul.  The first spike was driven by Rollo Jarreau.

In the spring of 1914, the line expanded service to include passenger travel using a 21-foot car powered by gasoline engine operating from a depot at Second Street and Lee Street in Alexandria.

By June 30, 1915, the railroad ended its fiscal year operating at a loss of $7,000.  In 1916, a suit was filed against the Alexandria & Western Railway by Brewer-Neinstadt Lumber Company concerning the rate the railroad was charging to transport hardwood and cypress lumber and lathes and shingles from Miltonburg to Alexandria.  A hearing on April 27, 1916, concluded that the rate of 4 cents per 100 pounds that the railroad charged was in line with or less than the rates charged by other railroads in the state, and the suit was dismissed.

Continued financial difficulties forced the railroad to file for abandonment in May 1925.

Equipment
Amongst the engines operated on the line was a 2-6-0 locomotive manufactured at the American Locomotive Company's Schenectady Locomotive Works (Construction #30988) in April 1905.  The locomotive was originally built for Genesee and Wyoming Railroad (road number 7) before it was sold to the Birmhamton Rail & Loco Co. and then resold to the Alexandria & Western Railway in Garden City, Louisiana.

Manufactured for the Alexandria & Western Railway were two 2-6-0 "Mogul" type locomotives built at the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1914, numbered 9 and 10.  After the railroad filed for abandonment, Crossett Lumber purchased engine number 9 and renumbered it to either 102 or 103. Crossett Lumber later sold it to Frost Lumber Industries.

Everglades Forever Act. The Everglades Forever Act is a Florida law passed in 1994 designed to restore the Everglades.  The law recognized, the “Everglades ecological system is endangered as a result of adverse changes in water quality, and in the quantity, distribution and timing of flows, and, therefore, must be restored and protected.”   The law was codified in § 373.4592, Florida Statutes.  The law was amended twice in 2003.

Everglades Protection Area 

The Everglades Protection Area is a protected area of the Florida Everglades as defined by the Everglades Forever Act and includes Water Conservation Area 1 (a.k.a.  the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge), Water Conservation Area 2, made up of WCA-2a and WCA-2b, Water Conservation Area 3, made up of WCA-3a and WCA-3b, and the Everglades National Park.

History
The Act was approved by Governor Lawton Chiles on May 3, 1994, and is filed as Chapter 94-115 of the General Acts, Resolutions, of the Florida Legislature published in 1994.

Phosphorus Reduction
The Act directed the State of Florida to develop a phosphorus criterion standard for the Everglades Protection Area.

Everglades Construction Project (1997)
Using data collected from the Everglades Nutrient Removal Project, which acted as a small scale model offering insight into the best implementation of both design and management, the Everglades Construction Project began in the spring of 1997 and was part of an $825 million water quality restoration project included in the Everglades Forever Act. In an effort to help restore the Everglades ecosystem, the project proposed the construction of 6 flow-through treatment marshes, called Stormwater treatment areas, to help reduce phosphorus levels in water that was bound for Everglades National Park. 

Meant to augment the natural filtration abilities of marshes, the plan called for STA construction on more than 40,000 acres of land. Each of the STA locations are positioned downstream of major agricultural discharge canals therefore ensuring that all water flowing to the Everglades would first have to pass through for treatment.

Agriculture Privilege Tax
The Act created a tax on farmers in the Everglades Agricultural Area, which would be reduced if farmers in the EAA complied with Best Management Practices.

Mitchell Nimbus. The Mitchell Nimbus is a series of American, single-seat, high-wing gliders that was designed by Don Mitchell in the 1950s. Mitchell is also well known for his ultralight Mitchell Wing A-10 and U-2 designs.

Design and development
The Nimbus series was designed as an attempt to combine a high aspect ratio wing with a thin airfoil section to produce a fast cross country sailplane.

The first Nimbus prototype used a Göttingen airfoil, which resulted in lower than expected performance. It first flew in 1954. The Nimbus III, introduced in 1956, employed an FX-05-191 airfoil and this greatly improved performance. The Nimbus III is constructed entirely from wood and incorporates a three-piece wing, with a center section and removable wing tips. Rib spacing is 6 inches and the plywood leading edge extends to 83% of the chord.

Operational history

The original Nimbus's fuselage was severely damaged at the May 1954 NCSA Soaring Meet during a cross country flight and as a result the Nimbus II was rushed to completion to be ready for the US National Soaring Contest in 1954 at Lake Elsinore, California. The Nimbus II was completed in time and Dr. J.B. Sawyer flew it to 15th place. He was forced to withdraw from the contest after the 5th day when he let go of the controls in flight and the glider pitched up steeply. After landing it was discovered that the elevator attach bracket was bent and they were unable to repair it at the contest. Sawyer went on to fly the Nimbus II on a 230-mile flight at a 1955 glider meet in Lincoln, California. He also soared it to over  in Minden, Nevada during the summer of 1955. At the 1956 US National Contest in Grand Prairie, Texas the Nimbus III was flown by Vic Swierkowski and won the Design Contest. The Nimbus II was also flown at the Nationals by Sawyer in 1956 and actually out-scored the Nimbus III.

Nine Nimbus III kits were produced by Mitchell and of these, four were reported as having been completed. In April 2011 there was one Nimbus III on the US Federal Aviation Administration registry.

Titanium-rich scaffold formation. Titanium-rich scaffold formation is a technical measure used in the blast furnace in order to protect the refractory furnace lining material from erosion by depositing a protection layer over it. It is particularly used to protect the refractory of the blast furnace hearth, located at the bottom of the blast furnace where droplets of melted iron accumulates. The operation is conducted by inserting Ti ore either by injecting it through one or more tuyeres (one of 20 or more pipe openings introducing hot gas into the furnace) as a powder, or by adding it to the ore together with coke and iron ore from the furnace top.

Mechanism

The titania (TiOx) reaches the slag phase where it reduces to titanium. This titanium will enter the liquid iron phase which will then be carried along the flow of the liquid iron toward the eroded portions of the hearth refractory. Due to the change of the carbon concentration and the temperature at eroded regions of the hearth, the solubility of Ti in liquid iron will reduce, causing Ti to react with carbon and nitrogen in the liquid. Titanium carbide and titanium nitride solid particles form, which are thought to deposit on the eroded portions of the hearth refractory, forming a protection layer.

D-value (microbiology). In microbiology, in the context of a sterilization procedure, the D-value or decimal reduction time (or decimal reduction dose) is the time (or dose of an antimicrobial drug) required, at a given condition (e.g. temperature) or set of conditions, to achieve a one-log reduction, that is, to kill 90% of relevant microorganisms. A D-value is denoted with the capital letter "D". Thus, after an exposure time of 1 D, only 10% of the organisms originally present in a microbial colony would remain. The term originated in assessments of microbes' thermal resistance and in thermal death time analysis; however, it now has analogous uses in other microbial resistance and death rate applications, such as for ethylene oxide and radiation processing.

Details
Use of D-values is based on the assumption that the procedure in question causes the number of living microorganisms to decay exponentially. From this perspective, D-values can be understood as roughly analogous to half lives of radioactive substances, however a half life involves a reduction of 50% rather than 90%. The half life is actually roughly 30% () of the D-value, so if D = 10 minutes, the number of living microorganisms will be halved in about 3 minutes.

Generally, each lot of a sterilization-resistant organism will have its own specific D-value. Determining a D-value requires an experiment, but only gives the D-value under the specific conditions of that experiment. D-values are unique to the conditions of the environment that the bacteria currently exists in.   

In the context of thermal analysis it is typical practice to subscript the "D" with an indication of temperature. For example, given a hypothetical organism which is reduced by 90% after exposure to temperatures of 150° C for 20 minutes, the D-value would be written as D150C = 20 minutes. In the US, the temperature is usually indicated in degrees Fahrenheit; a notation like D230 should be understood to mean D230F (D110C). When describing D-value generally for any temperature, like in the heading of a table, a common abbreviation is DT (where T stands for the temperature), where specific values for T may be given elsewhere. A numeric subscript may also be used to indicate some other level of reduction than 90%; for example, D10 denotes the time required for a 10% reduction.

D-values are sometimes used to express a disinfectant's efficiency in reducing the number of microbes present in a given environment.

D-value (transport). In transport, D-value is a rating in kN that is typically attributed to mechanical couplings, and reflects dynamic loading limits between a towing vehicle and a trailer.  
The corresponding formula for a truck and trailer combination, used to determine the required D-value of a coupling, is:

T = Weight of towing vehicle including the vertical load on the fifth wheel
R = Total weight of the loaded semi-trailer
U = Vertical load on the fifth wheel
g = Acceleration due to gravity (assumed to be 9.81 m/s 2 )

D (kN) = g x ((0.6 x T x R)/(T + R - U))
