Tributylphosphine. Tributylphosphine is the organophosphorus compound with the chemical formula , often abbreviated as . It is a tertiary phosphine. It is an oily liquid at room temperature, with a nauseating odor. It reacts slowly with atmospheric oxygen, and rapidly with other oxidizing agents, to give tributylphosphine oxide. It is usually handled using air-free techniques.

Preparation
Tributylphosphine is prepared industrially by the hydrophosphination of phosphine with 1-butene: the addition proceeds by a free radical mechanism, and so the Markovnikov rule is not followed.

Tributylphosphine can be prepared in the laboratory by reaction of the appropriate Grignard reagent with phosphorus trichloride although, as it is commercially available at reasonable prices, it is rare to have to perform the small-scale preparation.

Reactions
Tributylphosphine reacts with oxygen to give the corresponding phosphine oxide (here tributylphosphine oxide):

Because this reaction is so fast, the compound is usually handled under an inert atmosphere.

The phosphine is also easily alkylated. For example, benzyl chloride gives a phosphonium salt (here tributyl(phenylmethyl)phosphonium chloride):

Tributylphosphine is a common ligand for the preparation of complexes of transition metals in low oxidation states. It is cheaper and less air-sensitive than trimethylphosphine and other trialkylphosphines. Although its complexes are generally highly soluble, they are often more difficult to crystallize compared to complexes of more rigid phosphines. Furthermore, the 1H NMR properties are less easily interpreted and can mask signals for other ligands. Compared to other tertiary phosphines, it is compact (cone angle: 136°) and basic (χ-parameter: 5.25 cm−1)

Use
Tributylphosphine finds some industrial use as a catalyst modifier in the cobalt-catalyzed hydroformylation of alkenes, where it greatly increases the ratio of straight-chain aldehydes to branched-chain aldehydes in the product mixture. However, tricyclohexylphosphine is even more effective for this purpose (although more expensive) and, in any case, rhodium catalysts are usually preferred to cobalt catalysts for the hydroformylation of alkenes.

It is the precursor to the pesticide (2,4-dichlorobenzyl)tributylphosphonium chloride ("Phosfleur").

Although tributylphosphine is generally regarded as toxic, its biological effects can be manipulated by drug delivery strategies. For example, a photoactivatable version of tributylphosphine has been used to induce disulfide bond cleavage and reductive stress in living cells.

Odor
The main laboratory inconvenience of tributylphosphine is its unpleasant smell.

Hazards
Tributylphosphine is moderately toxic, with an LD50 of 750 mg/kg (oral, rats).

Roger Béteille. Roger Béteille (28 August 1921 – 14 June 2019) was a French aeronautical engineer and businessman who was associated with Airbus. Regarded as one of the founding fathers of the company, he is known for his contributions towards Airbus, which contributed towards the airline company's initial success. He also worked for Air France, Lufthansa, United, TWA and American Airlines.

Early life
Béteille was born in Vors, Aveyron, France. After graduating from École Polytechnique, he chose the Corps de l'armement and studied at Supaéro and at the Centre des hautes études de l'armement (CHEAr).

Career
In 1952, he joined Sud-Aviation in Toulouse where he held senior posts: Head of Flight Testing (1952 to 1957), Head of Rockets and Satellites division (1957 to 1967) and the deputy technical director and A300 programme manager. He also played a decisive role in the "Armagnac" and "Caravelle" programmes.

He was one of the key players in the formation of the European Airbus consortium. Béteille had spent time listening to airlines such as Air France and Lufthansa, as well as visiting U.S. airlines such as United, TWA and American Airlines. He also decided that English should be the working language and that measurements should not be metric because most airlines already had American-built aircraft.

A large part of the initial success of Airbus can be traced back to Béteille, whose nickname was Mister Airbus. His contributions include the "Airbus fuselage" – the 222-in fuselage cross section with the ability to carry two LD-3 freight containers – and the basic work-share agreement of the various partners in Airbus.

Béteille purchased Super Guppy transport aircraft to bring the pieces of the aircraft to its final assembly point in Toulouse. He long served as the company's chief operating officer and was regarded as one of the founding fathers, along with Henri Ziegler and Felix Kracht.

In 1983, he became a founding member of the French Académie de l'air et de l'espace (AAE). He retired in March 1984.

Personal life
Béteille was awarded the Ludwig Prandtl Ring from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Luft- und Raumfahrt (German Society for Aeronautics and Astronautics) in 1986. The Final Assembly Building for the Airbus A350 in Toulouse is named after him.

Béteille was married to opera singer Josette Jasmin and the two lived in Cannes and on the Midi.

He died on 14 June 2019, at age 97.

Tribute 
In tribute for his involvement within the Airbus Group, the A350XWB assembly plant in Toulouse was named after him.

Morris-Taney-class cutter. The Morris-Taney-class revenue cutters were 13 cutters built at New York City at the Webb and Allen shipyard between 1830 and 1833. These cutters were the backbone of the United States Revenue-Marine for more than a decade. Samuel Humphreys designed these cutters for roles as diverse as fighting pirates, privateers, combating smugglers and operating with naval forces.  He designed the vessels on a naval schooner concept.  They had Baltimore Clipper lines. The vessels, built by Webb and Allen, were designed by Isaac Webb and resembled Humphreys' design but had one less port.

According to William Thiessen, this was the first class of cutters where all ships were identical.

Coolpower. A coolpower setup in a truck engine can use an aftercooler mounted on top of the engine with a tip turbine fan, or an air-to-air cooler in front of the radiator. In either case, the goal is to cool the hot, compressed air going from the turbocharger into the engine. With the tip turbine, a small quantity of compressed air is bled off to spin a small fan that draws air through the aftercooler tubes. In some later models, a water cooler was also used, in addition to the tip turbine setup. Mack called the tip-turbine setup an intercooler and used a pyrometer to alert the operator if the exhaust gas exceeded a limit. The tip turbine setup was compact and the shorter plumbing runs allowed boost to build faster. Later models with the front mounted air-to-air cooler required a larger turbocharger to fill the tubes faster but with the benefit of additional power. Modern trucks use the air-to-air cooler in nearly all cases.

Large Mack trucks from the 1970s such as the Mack R-600 used coolpower systems. Some coolpower systems used vertical bar shutters that could be opened and shut in front of the radiator to maintain proper operating temperature.

The Mack Cruise Liner model built in 1984, a 6X4 Primemover, used a 
 coolpower engine.

Other meanings

Air intakes on turbochargers
The term is also used to refer to “Cool Power” air intake systems for turbocharged engines. These systems provide cooler air to the turbocharger and engine, instead of the potentially too-warm air from the engine compartment. Cooler intake air is denser, which means that the engine can produce the same power with less fuel. Cooler air also gives the engine more power for applications such as towing heavy loads up driving up steep grades during the summer. Cooler air drawn into the engine compartment lowers the temperature under the hood, which allows  plastic, rubber and electronic parts to last longer. Lastly, cool power systems will supports larger turbochargers by creating additional air flow to the engine.

Hydraulic drive system
The US military uses the expression "cool power" to describe its "regenerative drive unit", a "light-weight hybrid hydraulic drive system" that weighs 330 pounds. The "system can generate nearly  of torque and power equivalent to a  engine." It operates by storing "energy normally lost as heat during the braking process in a high-pressure oil tank called an accumulator." The system use two hydraulic-fluid storage devices controlled by a central processor. One of the reasons the US military is interested in the system is that its "cool" power allows vehicles to move "... without generating a "thermal footprint" that can be identified by enemy tracking systems."

John Brogden Jun. (industrialist). John Brogden Junior was the eldest son of John Brogden (1798–1869). He was born in Manchester in 1823. He was educated at the academy in Blackburn and then studied chemistry in Manchester. He joined his father’s business (John Brogden and Sons) in 1846 and was closely involved with all the work. He appears to have taken a particular interest in the coal and iron mining and in the Ulverston and Lancaster Railway. He joined the Institution of Civil Engineers as an Associate in 1852 and was also a fellow of the Geological Society and a Member of the British Association.

Brogden died on 6 November 1855 suddenly of apoplexy at his residence, Lightburn House, Ulverston at the age of 32. He was preparing to chair a Methodist meeting at the end of his day’s work. His early death was a serious blow to his father’s firm as well as to the family.

Book paper. A book paper (or publishing paper) is a paper that is designed specifically for the publication of printed books.

Traditionally, book papers are off-white or low-white papers (easier to read), are opaque to minimise the show-through of text from one side of the page to the other, and are (usually) made to tighter caliper or thickness specifications, particularly for case-bound books. Typically, books papers are light-weight papers 60 to 90 g/m2 and often specified by their caliper/substance ratios (volume basis). For example, a bulky 80 g/m2 paper may have a caliper of 120 micrometres (0.12 mm) which would be Volume 15 (120×10/80), whereas a low bulk 80 g/m2 may have a caliper of 88 micrometres, giving a volume 11. This volume basis then allows the calculation of a book's PPI (printed pages per inch), which is an important factor for the design of book jackets and the binding of the finished book.

Different paper qualities can be used as book paper depending on the type of book. Machine-finished coated papers, woodfree uncoated papers, coated fine papers, and special fine papers are common paper grades.

Standard page sizes for book paper can vary depending on the book's genre (ex: sci-fi, horror,) and target audience (ex: children, teens, adults).

Frank Newby. Frank Newby (26 March 1926 – 10 May 2001) was one of the leading structural engineers of the 20th century, working with such architects as Philip Powell and Hidalgo Moya, Eero Saarinen, Cedric Price,James Gowan (architect) James Stirling, and the practice of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM), and such engineers as Ove Arup and Felix Samuely.

Early life and education

Frank Newby was born in Barnsley on 26 March 1926. He studied "mechanical sciences", now known as engineering, at Trinity College, Cambridge between 1943 and 1947. He undertook National Service from 1947 to 1949.

Working life

Early career

In 1949 Frank Newby joined the engineering consultancy firm of Felix Samuely in London. With Felix Samuely, he worked on the design of the Skylon for the 1951 Festival of Britain, a structure which became the symbol of the festival.

He spent 1952 in the United States, funded by a National Security Alliance scholarship, where he worked with exponents of the modern movement such as Charles Greaves and Fred Scriven. Travelling across the United States, he interned in several of the most interesting offices, including Saarinen in Michigan, Bertrand Goldberg in Chicago, and Charles and Ray Eames in California. He rejoined Samuely's practice in 1953.

During his early career, Newby was inspired by the work of Felix Samuely and Ove Arup, the leading structural engineers of their day.

Later career

Newby became a partner of the practice in 1956 and then, following the death of Felix Samuely in 1959, the head of the practice at the age of 32. He had designed the British buildings in the 1958 Brussels Expo '58, and this had helped him establish a reputation for being one of the most creative engineers working at the time. Over the following years he received a number of high-profile appointments. In 1960 he was appointed to design the American Embassy in London with Eero Saarinen, whom he met in the United States, and in 1965 to design a new Aviary for Regent's Park Zoo, with Cedric Price and Lord Snowdon.

The most celebrated of his buildings is the Engineering Building at the University of Leicester, designed with James Stirling and James Gowan.

Newby went on to work with the Chicago based firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill to design a new factory for Boots in Nottingham, completed in 1968.

Other work

From 1962 Newby lectured at the Architectural Association

Newby was actively involved in the Institution of Structural Engineers, where he was the convenor of the History Group, which examined the history of structural engineering. He held this post until 2000.

Newby restored and returned a medieval chantry in Wiltshire to its original state, and had the building listed.

Awards

Newby was awarded the Institution of Structural Engineers Gold Medal in 1985.

Mongstad Power Station. Mongstad Power Station is a natural gas-fired combined power plant and heating plant located at the industrial site of Mongstad in Norway.

The station is owned by a consortium of Equinor (formerly Statoil) and Ørsted A/S, and was operated by the latter, but in 2013 Ørsted divested their share, selling it to Statoil. Construction costs are estimated at NOK 4 billion.
The power station will have an installed effect of 280 MW in electricity production and 350 MW in heat. The energy will be used to operate the Mongstad Refinery as well to supply the Troll Gas Field with power. The plant will use 0.7 billion normal cubic meter (BCM) of gas per year. Emissions of carbon dioxide will be 1.2 million tonnes.

The power station has been subject to controversy in Norway, based upon the potential increase in emission of greenhouse gases. Statoil has entered into an implementation agreement in cooperation with Gassnova which representing the Norwegian government in matters relating to Carbon capture and storage, to develop solutions for carbon dioxide capture at Mongstad. Early in 2009, Statoil delivered a master plan for full-scale CO2 capture at Mongstad.

The closure of the plant has been postponed several times. The plant was supposed to be closed at the end of 2018, but was still in operation as of 2021.
