Weiss WM-21 Sólyom. 

The Weiss WM-21 Sólyom () was a 1930s Hungarian light bomber and reconnaissance biplane which served in World War II and was developed by the Manfred Weiss company.

Design and development
The WM-21 was designed to replace the WM-16, which was based on the yet older Fokker C.V, and as such was considered unsuitable for operational service. The WM-21's structure was strengthened, and the aircraft received a new, more efficient wing set. A tailskid was fitted to allow for shorter landing runs on grass airfields. A conventional biplane, the Sólyom was powered by a  Weiss WM-K-14A radial engine, and had an open cockpit. A total of 128 aircraft were built by three different factories: 25 by Manfréd Weiss, 43 by MÁVAG, and 60 by MWG.

Operational history

Throughout the war, the Royal Hungarian Air Force used 48 of them for reconnaissance. They served alongside 38 Heinkel He 46s, and 37 IMAM Ro.37s, supplemented by 13 Heinkel He 111s. They first entered service in 1939 with short-range reconnaissance units. Although they were active during the 1940 dispute with Romania, their first active operational use was during the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941. 

During the invasion of Yugoslavia, none of the WM-21s were lost in combat, but one was lost in an accident. From June 1941 they were used to support Hungarian Army units in Ukraine, and then against Soviet partisans. They lost another WM-21 on June 29, when the war against the Soviet Union was intensifying. Around 80 aircraft were also transferred to duties as trainers, as they were removed from operational use, until 1945.

Dewoitine D.9. The Dewoitine D.9 was a French monoplane fighter built by Dewoitine and built under licence in Italy as the Ansaldo AC.3.

Design and development
The D.9 was a single-seat high-wing monoplane with a conventional landing gear and powered by a  Gnome-Rhône 9Ab Jupiter radial engine. First flown in 1924 it was not accepted by the French Army being ranked sixth in the 1923 single-seat fighter competition. A small number of production aircraft were sold for export to Belgium and Yugoslavia and three were built from parts by EKW for the Swiss Air Force. The biggest achievement of the type was an order to licence-build 150 aircraft for the Italian Regia Aeronautica, built by Ansaldo as the Ansaldo AC.3. The type served into the 1930s with the Italian forces.

Vehicle-specific power. The concept of vehicle-specific power (VSP) is a formalism used in the evaluation of vehicle emissions. The idea was first developed by J. L. Jiménez  at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Informally, it is the sum of the loads resulting from aerodynamic drag, acceleration, rolling resistance, and hill climbing, all divided by the mass of the vehicle. Conventionally, it is reported in kilowatts per tonne, the instantaneous power demand of the vehicle divided by its mass. VSP, combined with dynamometer and remote-sensing measurements, can be used to determine vehicle emissions.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency held a "modelling shootout" in 2001, to help with the development of its (then) new MOVES (motor vehicle emissions simulator) vehicle emissions model. Two of the four modelling metholodogies in the shootout, one from North Carolina State University  and one internal to the EPA, used vehicle-specific power metrics. MOVES was eventually implemented using vehicle-specific power as its primary metric. (See  for the EPA MOVES draft VSP specification.)

Formulae
Jiménez's own formula is:

VSP can be simplified using typical coefficient values. Haibo Zhai of North Carolina State University provides the following formula for transit buses:

where:
vvehicle speed (in metres per second)
avehicle acceleration (in metres per second per second)
gacceleration due to gravity (gee, in metres per second per second)
φroad grade
ψrolling resistance coefficient (metres per second per second)
ζdrag coefficient (reciprocal metres)

Szaraz SDS-1A Daphne. The Daphne SD-1A is a homebuilt aircraft that won second place in the 1970 EAA AirVenture Oshkosh flight efficiency contest.

Design
The Daphne is a two place, side-by-side configuration, strut-braced, high-wing, conventional landing gear equipped homebuilt. The fuselage is constructed of welded chromoly steel tubing, while the wings are made of wood, with one-piece plywood ribs. The entire structure is covered in aircraft fabric covering.  Both ailerons and flaperons have been installed on the design. Hoerner wingtips were utilized, due to their inherent higher efficiency and low-drag features.  Szaraz drew heavily from the design of the Wittman W-8 Tailwind during the design process, and thus  the fuselage, landing gear, and engine mount are very similar to that of the W-8. Plans were first offered for sale in the March 1969 edition of Sport Aviation. In 1971, the plans were priced at $65, while the info packet was $2.

Operational history
The first three examples were built on the same jigs at Bernie Darmstadt's workshop basement. According to Jane's AWA, by January 1970, at least 26 were under construction. As of December 2023, there were 7 active Daphnes registered on the Federal Aviation Administration database, with 3 additional ones in Canada.

DFW Floh. 

The DFW T.28 Floh () was a small German biplane fighter prototype designed by Hermann Dorner, the designer of the successful Hannover CL.II two-seat fighter of 1917, and built by Deutsche Flugzeug-Werke. 

Designed in 1915 as high-speed fighter, the Floh had a small  wingspan and a rather ungainly tall and thin fuselage. With a fixed conventional landing gear the Floh was powered by a  Mercedes D.I inline piston engine, and on its first flight in December 1915 reached , quite fast for the time. 

The aircraft suffered from very poor forward visibility and was difficult to land due to its narrow landing gear. The prototype crashed during the flight testing programme.

MODELISAR. MODELISAR was an ITEA 2 (Information Technology for European Advancement) European project aiming to improve the design of systems and of embedded software in vehicles. The MODELISAR goals were to:
 Support the AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) standard (AUTOSAR is a standardized automotive software architecture)
 Develop the Functional Mock-up Interface standardized interface

The MODELISAR project started in 2008, ended Dec 2011 to define the Functional Mock-up Interface specifications, deliver technology studies, prove the FMI concepts through Use Cases elaborated by the consortium partners and enable tool vendors to build advanced prototypes or in some cases even products.
MODELISAR has been awarded during ITEA 2 & ARTEMIS co summit with a Silver award.

Although in MODELISAR the focus was driven by automotive Use Cases, the FMI specifications could be independently defined. Therefore the FMI can now address others industrial domains such as Energy, Aerospace, Rail.

Remoska. A Remoska (also known as Prodiż) is a small portable electric oven with the cooking element housed in the lid of a pot. It consists of a Teflon-lined pan and a stand in addition to the lid mounted heating element. It was developed by the Czech electrical engineer Oldřich Homuta in the 1950s. The Remoska has no graded heat control. It cooks in a similar manner to an oven and is stated to be very economical in terms of electricity (470 watts for the Standard Remoska).

History of development
The Remoska was invented by electrical engineer Oldřich Homuta. Before the World War II, Homuta owned a company producing electric motors. This company was merged with the Remos company after nationalization.
The first Remoska prototypes were made in 1953–1955. Homuta continued working on the aluminum pan, which he covered with a lid with an electric heater.

Production
Remoska cookers were produced between 1957 and 1990 at a Karma factory in Kostelec nad Černými lesy.  In 1994 the production facility was sold and production then moved to Frenštát pod Radhoštěm.

International adoption
"Prodiż" was popular in Poland during the communist era. Smaller quantities have been manufactured and used since the 1990s.

The "Patusca", or cloche, was popular during the 1970s and 1980s in Portugal. It is still manufactured and used today.

Lady Milena Grenfell-Baines, a Czech living in England since the Second World War, became interested in the Remoska and started importing it to Britain.  In 2002 the Remoska pan started to sell well in Canada and the US, and the following year in Australia.

Donald R. F. Harleman. Donald Robert Fergusson Harleman (December 5, 1922 – September 28, 2005) was an American civil engineer noted for his research of the flow of contaminants through water and harbor cleanup efforts around the world.

Harleman was credited with cleanup efforts of harbors around the world: Australia, Brazil, China, India, and Mexico, among others. He advised government agencies on the Boston Harbor cleanup.
Harleman was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1974 "for leadership in the development of theoretical and experimental techniques in the field of fluid mechanics".
The Boston Globe called Harleman "an internationally recognized civil engineer in the field of water quality and waste treatment".
The New York Times said that Harleman "was regarded as a leader in fluid mechanics" and said he was "water pollution expert who aided cleanups worldwide".
Harleman was Ford Professor of Civil Engineering and Director of Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Plagioclimax community. A Plagioclimax community is an area or habitat in which the influences of the humans have prevented the ecosystem from developing further. The ecosystem may have been stopped from reaching its full climatic climax or deflected towards a different climax by activities such as:

 Cutting down the existing vegetation
 Burning as a means of forest clearance
 planting trees or crops
 Grazing and trampling by domesticated animals
 Harvesting of planted crops

These are known as disturbances, or arresting factors.

In each case, human activity has led to a community which is not the climax community expected in such an area. If the human activity continues, the community will be held in a stable position and further succession will not occur until the human activity ceases.

Examples
An example may be in a beach dune system where the impact of the human race has caused footpath erosion to occur, affecting the vegetation so that feet trampling on the dune plants eventually destroys them.

The uplands of Northern England were once covered by deciduous woodland. Some heather would have been present, but in relatively small amounts. Gradually the forests were removed during the early Middle Ages for timber and fuel purposes, and to create space for agricultural activities. The soil deteriorated as a result and heather came to dominate the plant community. Sheep grazing was the major form of agriculture in the area at the time and the sheep prevented the re-growth of woodland by destroying any young saplings.

In more recent times the process of controlled burning of the heather has taken place. The heather is burnt after 15 years of its life cycle before it becomes mature and allows colonisation of the area by other plants. The ash adds to the soil fertility and the new growth that results increase the productivity of the ecosystem and provides the sheep with a more nutritious diet than is provided by the elder heather. This controlled burning maintains a plant community which is not the climatic climax of the area, and is therefore a plagioclimax.

In Studland Heath in Dorset, England, the management agency prevents the climax community (in this case trees) becoming established. At Studland the aim is to keep the area as heathland, so that the small reptiles that inhabit the dune system continue to survive. If the area is allowed to develop naturally into woodland, the reptiles would be replaced by other species of animals.
