David Comer. David J. Comer received the BSEE degree from San Jose State University, the MSEE degree from the University of California, Berkeley and the PhD from Washington State University. He spent five years with IBM's Advanced Systems Development Division working in the automatic speech recognition area and the automated warehousing area.  Doctor Comer's academic career began as an assistant professor at the University of Idaho in 1964. He moved to the University of Calgary as an associate professor in 1966 and then to California State University, Chico in 1969 as a professor and dean of the engineering program.  In 1981, he became a professor of electrical engineering at Brigham Young University, serving as department chair from 1990 to 1993.  He retired from BYU in September 2017.

Comer's areas of interest include passive and active filter design, MOS amplifier design, wideband amplifier design, operation of MOS stages in the weak inversion region, and high-speed chip-to-chip communications. He has consulted for Intel, Lawrence Livermore National Labs, IBM, and Mobility Systems Inc.  Eight patents have been applied for in Professor Comer's name, two by IBM and six by Intel.

Comer served on the statewide California Engineering Liaison Committee from 1970 to 1975.  He also served on the Engineering Deans' Council of the California State Universities during this same period and served as chair of this council in 1972.  He was invited to appear before a California state legislative committee to determine if engineering programs at state universities in Humboldt, San Francisco, and Chico should be terminated or continued.  Comer's presentation influenced the decision to continue these programs.

Doctor Comer has authored twelve textbooks in the field of electronic circuit design some of which have been translated into the Chinese, Korean, and Portuguese languages.  He has published over 100 research papers in the leading journals of his field.  In addition to these publications, Comer was also invited to write two sections in the Encyclopedia of Physical Science and Technology and three chapters in CRC Handbooks in the electronics area.  He is credited with the development of the narrowband inductorless phase-shift filter. and the loop gain modulator.

Comer was elevated to the grade of Fellow of the IEEE in 2005. He has received several awards during his career including the Professional Achievement Award at CSU, Chico in 1981.  He was named the outstanding teacher in the department of electrical engineering at the University of Calgary in 1968 and at BYU in 1986 and 1987.  He was twice named the outstanding teacher in the College of Engineering at BYU (1992, 2008) and also received the Karl G. Maeser Excellence in Teaching Award at BYU in 2005.

Miles Sound System. Miles Sound System (MSS), formerly known as Audio Interface Library (AIL), is a sound software system primarily for video games and used mostly as an alternative for low-end audio chipsets. It uses little CPU time while providing adequate audio output. It was originally a middleware driver library for soundcards to use in DOS applications when no viable alternative was available. Epic Games Tools (formerly RAD Game Tools) acquired the technology from Miles Design in 1995.

The 1992 AIL version 2 for DOS has been released by John Miles as open-source (public domain without restrictions) in 2000. The package can be found on his personal site (KE5FX.com) and contains source code for both real-mode and protected-mode programs.

Reception
The Miles Sound System was used in its history by over 7,000 video games across 18 platforms. Computer Gaming World stated in 1994 that "Many of the game publishers have decided to support only those sound cards which are supported by the Miles drivers", especially the Sound Blaster.

Space Vehicle Mockup Facility. The Space Vehicle Mockup Facility (SVMF) is a large open space area located inside Building 9 of Johnson Space Center in Houston. The SVMF houses mockups of most pressurized modules on the International Space Station (ISS). It is primarily used for astronaut training and systems familiarization.

The ISS mockups found in the SVMF are 1:1 scale, and vary in level of fidelity compared to the ISS. An industrial door at the North End, and overhead cranes allows the installation of new mockup spacecraft to be loaded into the facility. Space Center Houston offers a Level 9 VIP tour of the entire training facility during its afternoon tour. Ticket cost is $199..

Amorphism. An amorphism, in chemistry, crystallography and, by extension, to other areas of the natural sciences is a substance or feature that lacks an ordered form. In the specific case of crystallography, an amorphic material is one that lacks long range (significant) crystalline order at the molecular level. In the history of chemistry, amorphism was recognised even before the discovery of the nature of the exact atomic crystalline lattice structure. The concept of amorphism can also be found in the fields of art, biology, archaeology and philosophy as a characterisation of objects without form, or with random or unstructured form.

Amorphous and Crystalline solid 
In the context of solids, amorphous and crystalline are terms used to describe the structure of materials. Amorphous solids are the opposite of crystalline. The atoms or molecules in amorphous substances are arranged randomly without any long-range order. As a result, they do not have a sharp melting point. The phase transition from solid to liquid occurs over a range of temperatures. Some examples include glass, rubber and some plastics.

Institute for Laser Science. The Institute for Laser Science is a department of the University of Electro Communications, located near Tokyo, Japan.

History and achievements

Established in 1980, the Institute specializes mainly in improving the performance of gas lasers, especially excimer lasers. Between 1990 and 2005, the Institute developed fiber disk lasers, disk laser (active mirror)
and the concept of power scaling. Ultra-low loss mirror was developed
 aiming application for high power lasers (1995).

Since 2000, its main research directions have been in the areas of solid state lasers, fiber lasers and ceramics. Since then, the Institute has carried out experiments with quantum reflection of cold excited neon atoms from silicon surfaces.

The institute has also performed the first experiments with quantum reflection of cold atoms from Si surface
and, in particular,  ridged mirrors 
 for cold atoms and the interpretation as Zeno effect.

In 2004, the Institute developed the first microchip atomic trap.

Lake Pohjalampi. Lake Pohjalampi is a lake in eastern Finland. The lake has a surface area of 61 hectares, and the mean and maximum depth are 3.2 meters and 5.3 meters, respectively.

Ecological Experiment 

The lake was used to study the effects of biomanipulation on a small, mesotrophic lake. From 1993 to 1997, over 200 kilograms per hectare of fish, mainly roach (Rutilus rutilus) and bream (Abramis brama) were caught and removed. This resulted in a reduction of nearly 80% of fish biomass. The effects on the benthic invertebrates were investigated using biomass and density, during the years of fish removal and for the following three years. The decrease in benthivorous fish stock led to higher biomass and density in all the major benthic invertebrate groups.

Three years after fish removal had been discontinued, the fish biomass had recovered to almost its initial value; the community structure, however,  was different because of much greater abundance of perch. The biomasses of the benthic invertebrates in many groups was seen to drop in the years 1999-2000, apparently due to the increased predation. The relationship between the two trophic levels is thought to be as a consequence of the open and sparsely vegetated bottom, which offers minimal shelter to invertebrate prey.

An additional factor in the reduced invertebrate biomasses was a fall in both phosphorus and chlorophyll a concentrations, which led to a drop in primary production. The phosphorus and chlorophyll a decreases occurred after the three years of fishing and have remained low since. This could be related to the loss of waste products and detritus the fish would have produced over the years.
