Joshua Thomas Noble Anderson. Joshua Thomas Noble (Noble) Anderson (J T N Anderson) (1865–1949) was an engineer practising in Melbourne, Australia, and New Zealand during the difficult times in the Depressions of the 1890s and 1930s, but still practised innovative engineering in these periods.

Early career and migration to Australia

Anderson, known commonly by his middle name Noble, was born in Ireland in 1865, and graduated in engineering and arts. Following short engineering engagements in Ireland, he came to Victoria in 1889, undertaking his first engineering in Victoria in connection with the Laanecoorie Weir. He then took up a lectureship in mechanical engineering at the University of Melbourne, where he met John Monash.

Monash & Anderson

In 1894 Monash and Anderson set up a consulting partnership, which lasted from 1894 to 1902, designing and contracting engineering works. After a meeting with Frank Gummow of Sydney in 1897, Anderson negotiated an agreement for the firm to become the Victorian agents for reinforced concrete using the Monier patents and won several contracts for bridges using the technology and he and Monash concentrated on building concrete bridges.

Move to New Zealand

Anderson moved to New Zealand in 1902 after the company failed financially.
Anderson was appointed as engineer with the Dunedin (New Zealand) Drainage Board in 1902 and continued to 1906. He then returned to Victoria to take up a post as shire engineer and engineering consultant for several local councils in different parts of Victoria. In the 1920s he acted as engineering consultant to Walter Burley Griffin, on the design of the Cotter Dam and water supply system for the new capital at Canberra. Later he was consulting engineer to the city of Richmond. He joined the Victorian Institute of Engineers in 1890, and was president 1900–2 and in 1919. He joined the IEAust as a corporate member in 1926.

Personal life 
He married Ellen Mary White-Spunner and they had six children, including Alice Elizabeth Foley Anderson (1897–1926), businesswoman and owner of the first all-women garage workshop in Australia,. and Frances Alexandra (Frankie) Derham (1894–1987), artist and art educator.

He died in 1949.

Flávio Deslandes. Flavio Deslandes is a Brazilian industrial designer based in Denmark and known for his work with bamboo including the bamboo bicycles.

Career
Deslandes started his scientific research with bamboo technology at PUC-Rio University from 1994 to 1999 where he participated in projects about developing tools for working with bamboo – composites, structures, truss-frames, joint and connection solutions, aids and appliances for handicapped such as walkers and amphibian sliders.

In 1995 he started to develop his first bamboo bicycle, and the first prototype was presented at the 5th International World Bamboo Congress in 1998. Deslandes graduated in 1999 with his bamboo bicycle prototype no. 2 as his final project. The prototype no. 2 has a tensegrity frame.

Deslandes' first bamboo patent was applied for in 1999 and granted in 2005.

After moving to Denmark in 2000, Deslandes launched a criss-cross bamboo tube frame which he named Bambucicletas. The Bambucicletas made use of bamboo for other parts such as the fork and fenders.

By 2001 Deslandes' Bambucicletas reached the web with an article in American Bamboo Society. Bambucicletas not only brought back the subject about sustainability by using bamboo to build bicycles, but it also inspired many people around the world to the possibilities that the material was offering. The article was later translated to several different languages.

Deslandes co-developed a bamboo bicycle for Biomega in 2001.

Deslandes' Bambucicletas has been mentioned George H. Marcus' 2002 book What Is Design Today? and in Oscar Hidalgo-Lopez' 2003 book Bamboo The Gift of the Gods.

Deslandes spoke about bamboo bicycles at TEDx SaoPaulo in 2009.

Headquarters of the Bank of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay. The Headquarters of the Bank of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay is the building that houses the main offices of the Banco de la República Oriental del Uruguay. It is located in Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo. The building, which was built in the neoclassical style, was designed by Italian architect Giovanni Veltroni and completed in 1938.

History 
The building is the work of Italian architect Giovanni Veltroni and was inaugurated on 19 February 1938, ten years after the approval for its construction. The sculptures of its facade are the work of Uruguayan sculptor Juan Zorrilla de San Martín and were inaugurated in 1940 and 1950. An expansion of the third floor and restructuring of the base floor were done in 1953.

The building is one of the notable architectural sights of the Ciudad Vieja and is a National Heritage Site since 1975.

In popular culture 

 The building is featured in the 2014 short film Protocolo Celeste, directed by Martín Sastre. Starring actress Natalia Oreiro and footballer Diego Forlán, who play two "celestes agents" who must recover Obdulio Varela's medal stolen from National Treasury, the short promotes Uruguay's bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 2030.
 In 2021, the building appeared in the promo that announced the premiere date of the second season of Got Talent Uruguay, featuring the panel of judges using the bank's facilities for a mission.

Value semantics. In computer science, having value semantics (also value-type semantics or copy-by-value semantics) means for an object that only its value counts, not its identity. Immutable objects have value semantics trivially, and in the presence of mutation, an object with value semantics can only be uniquely-referenced at any point in a program.

The concepts that are used to explain this concept are extensionality, definiteness, substitutivity of identity, unfoldability, and referential transparency.

Ziff–Gulari–Barshad model. The Ziff–Gulari–Barshad (ZGB) model is a simple Monte Carlo method for catalytic reactions of oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide on a surface using Monte-Carlo methods which captures correctly the essential dynamics: the phase transition between two poisoned states (either CO2- or O-poisoned) and a steady-state in between. It is named after Robert M. Ziff, Erdogan Gulari, and Yoav Barshad, who published it in 1986.

Model definition 
The model consists of three steps:
 Adsorption of the reacting species CO and O2 
 The actual reaction step on the surface: CO + O → CO2
 Desorption of the products.
The simplest implementation considers the catalyst as simple square two-dimensional lattice, but one can also consider other kinds of underlying lattices. When a gas-phase molecule touches an empty site, adsorption occurs immediately and the chemical reaction is also instantaneous. Furthermore, assumes that the composition of the gas phase remains constant.

Results and other work 
The model belongs to the universality class of directed percolation.  The model was modified several times.

SS Lambridge. SS Lambridge was a  UK cargo ship that was built in 1917, gave 28 years of service and was scuttled in 1945. She was launched as Glennevis but changed owners and names a number of times, successively becoming African Prince, Pentridge Hill, Botlea, HMS Lambridge and Lambridge. She was scuttled as part of a programme to dispose of UK stocks of chemical weapons.

Building
The Ayrshire Dockyard Company Ltd. built the ship to the UK Shipping Controller's standard "B" type cargo ship design. She had nine corrugated furnaces with a combined grate area of  heating three 180 lbf/in2 single-ended boilers with a combined heating surface of . The boilers fed a Dunsmuir and Jackson three-cylinder 510 NHP triple expansion steam engine that drove a single screw propeller.

Names and owners
The ship was launched in 1917 as Glennevis for the Western Steam Ship Company of Glasgow. In 1922 she was sold to Furness Withy who renamed her African Prince. In 1936 she was sold to the Dorset Steamship Company, which renamed her Pentridge Hill. Dorset SS Co was a London-based company controlled by Counties Ship Management.

In 1939 she was sold to Sir Wm. Reardon Smith & Sons, Ltd, who renamed her Botlea. In September and October 1939 she became one of nine merchant ships that the Admiralty acquired to convert into Q-ships. Botlea was commissioned into the Royal Navy as HMS Lambridge with the pennant number X15. The Q-ships were not successful and from February 1941 she served as the armed merchant cruiser Lambridge.

Scuttling
After the Second World War the Admiralty used her to dispose of redundant chemical ammunition. On 30 December 1945 she was scuttled in the North Atlantic beyond the continental shelf,  northwest of Ireland. Her wreck is at  in  of water.

Lambridge was one of four redundant cargo ships that the Admiralty used to dispose of chemical ammunition at the same site in the North Atlantic. The others were  on 11 September, Empire Cormorant on 1 October and  on 30 October.

567-line television system. The 567-line television system was an experimental late 1940s proposal by Philips of the Netherlands for a European television system, with some test transmissions being made from Eindhoven.

The first mention of the system appeared in an article from 1938, published in the Philips' technical bulletin, on a transportable demonstration TV station, running an at 50 fields (25 frames) per second, but no more details were provided. Most of the technology was to be borrowed from the American 525-lines system, the difference being the reduction of horizontal scan frequency from 15,750 to 14,175 Hz. This would have meant that the American sound carrier frequency of 4.5 MHz above the picture carrier would have also been the standard for Europe, and hence a lot more common worldwide.

By 1950 some 567-line television sets were built and distributed to Philips employees for home testing.

The 567-line system was proposed for international use but never adopted. Russian engineers had already shown how 525-lines could be easily adapted to a higher resolution by breaking with American 6 MHz channel bandwidth restrictions and moving the sound carrier up from 4.5 to 6.5 MHz, along with 625-line scanning. This 625-line system was eventually approved as CCIR System D.

Prue UHP-1. The Prue UHP-1 is an American high-wing, single-seat, T-tailed FAI Open Class glider that was designed by Irving Prue.

Design and development
The prototype Prue UHP-1 was constructed by Prue, completed in 1966 and first flown in 1967.

The prototype features a NACA 63-618, with an all-metal wing with doped aircraft fabric covering aft of the wing spar. This arrangement did not hold the correct airfoil shape at high speeds according to tests conducted. The fuselage is also of all-metal construction and features a fixed monowheel landing gear, coupled with a skid, a conventional T-tail and a drag chute. Aside from the drag chute, glide path control is via spoilers.

Two Prue UHP-1s were built, the second incorporating many changes to the design. Both aircraft were registered as Experimental - Amateur-builts.

Operational history
The second UHP-1 built was reported by the owner as having good handling characteristics and a lower minimum sink speed than a Schleicher ASW 17.

As of June 2011 both aircraft are still registered with the Federal Aviation Administration.

Variants
UHP-1
Initial prototype with fixed landing gear.
UHP-1 Modified
The second aircraft, built in 1974, which incorporates an all-metal wing to address the fabric issues on the first aircraft. It also has retractable monowheel landing gear, the nose and canopy from a Schempp-Hirth Open Cirrus, flaps, water ballast and a fully trimmable tailplane. The aircraft is officially registered with the FAA as a UHP-1 MODIFIED and has an empty weight that is more than  heavier than the prototype.

Sikorsky S-34. The Sikorsky S-34 was a 1920s American six-seat sesquiplane, designed and built by the Sikorsky Manufacturing Corporation. Only one was built, but the design led to the successful Sikorsky S-38.

Design and development
The S-34 was a sesquiplane amphibian with a boat hull, being powered by two tractor  Wright Whirlwind J-4 engines. It had a boom-mounted twin-rudder tail unit and room inside the hull for five passengers. During a test flight in November 1927, one engine failed and the S-34 crashed and sank. Igor Sikorksy and the others on board escaped without injury but the S-34 was destroyed. It was the first Sikorsky aircraft with a boat hull and would lead to a family of similar flying boats and amphibians.
