Peter Coad. Peter Coad (born December 30, 1953) is a software entrepreneur and author of books on programming. He is notable for his role in defining what have come to be known as the UML colors, a color-coded notation chiefly useful for adding breadth and depth to a design, using four major archetypes.

Biography 
 
Coad received a Bachelor of Science with Honors in Electrical Engineering from OSU (Stillwater) in 1977 and a Master of Science in Computer Science from USC in 1981.

From 1978 to 1988, Coad worked as a systems engineer and a software-methods coach.

In 1988, Peter Coad founded Object International, a software consulting firm where he served as president.

From 1989 to 1999, Coad coached teams on how to build systems that would gracefully accommodate unexpected change. He authored six books on object-oriented development, beginning with "Object-Oriented Analysis" in 1989.

In 1999, Coad was co-founder of the software company TogetherSoft, where he served as chairman, chief executive officer, and president.

From 1999 to 2003, Coad built and led 350-person team in a successful software startup, TogetherSoft. Coad received 11 US patents (link https://uspto.report/company/Coad-Peter).

From about 2000 to 2004 Coad was editor-in-chief of the Coad Series of books from Prentice Hall. This series of books were in the field of software development.

Coad became senior vice president and chief strategist of Borland Software Corp. when Borland bought TogetherSoft in January 2003.  Coad left Borland before the end of 2003 and turned his attention to interests outside of the software development field, especially simplified teaching techniques for learning to read The Bible in its original languages.

Since 2004, Peter Coad leads a small team, inventing and developing the "Parallel Plus® Bible-study app." Coad and team focus on user experiences that encourage best study practices.

Coad and his spouse, Judy, have been married since 1978.

In 2022, Peter Coad started a new project dedicated to a night-sky photography. Many artworks can be found at coad.com

Settling time. In control theory the settling time of a dynamical system such as an amplifier or other output device is the time elapsed from the application of an ideal instantaneous step input to the time at which the amplifier output has entered and remained within a specified error band. 

Settling time includes a propagation delay, plus the time required for the output to slew to the vicinity of the final value, recover from the overload condition associated with slew, and finally settle to within the specified error.

Systems with energy storage cannot respond instantaneously and will exhibit transient responses when they are subjected to inputs or disturbances.

Definition 

Tay, Mareels and Moore (1998) defined settling time as "the time required for the response curve to reach and stay within a range of certain percentage (usually 5% or 2%) of the final value."

Mathematical detail 

Settling time depends on the system response and natural frequency.

The settling time for a second order, underdamped system responding to a step response can be approximated if the damping ratio  by

A general form is

Thus, if the damping ratio , settling time to within 2% = 0.02 is:

Geological resistance. Geological resistance is a measure of how well minerals resist erosive factors, and is based primarily on hardness, chemical reactivity and cohesion. The more hardness, less reactivity and more cohesion a mineral has, the less susceptible it is to erosion. Over time, differences in geological resistance in the same geological formation can lead to the formation of columns and arches, like those in Moab, Utah; and of bridges, like Utah's Rainbow Bridge.

Curtiss V-1570 Conqueror. The Curtiss V-1570 Conqueror was a V12 liquid-cooled aircraft engine. Representing a more powerful version of the Curtiss D-12, the engine entered production in 1926 and flew in numerous aircraft.

Design and development
Designed in 1924 as a military successor to the Curtiss D-12, initially named the Conqueror, it was later given the military designation of V-1570 based on its displacement of 1,570 cubic inches (26 L). The engine featured open-ended cylinder liners (advanced technology for the period) and pressurized liquid cooling. Developments including the use of a supercharger gradually increased power output until reliability problems due to overheating and coolant leaks became apparent. Military funding for further development of the Conqueror was cut in 1932, efforts by Curtiss to market the engine for civil airliners failed and the line was dropped from production.

Rothberg Institute for Childhood Diseases. The Rothberg Institute For Childhood Diseases is a non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for rare childhood diseases such as Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). The organization was founded by Jonathan Rothberg and his wife in 2002 after their son was born with TSC. 

Located in Guilford, Connecticut, the organization was responsible for the CommunityTSC distributed computing project.

Dr. Rothberg graduated from Yale University in 1991.

CommunityTSC
CommunityTSC Drug Design Optimization Lab (D2OL) was a distributed computing project developed by the Institute to test drug candidates interaction with a target molecule that is essential to the spread of the disease under scrutiny. By evaluating the energy level released by binding a small molecule drug candidate to the surface of a larger Target molecule (D2OL) determines the fitness of the particular candidate to a region of the Target structure known as the Active Site. This process is referred to as docking the drug candidate to the target. D2OL ended on April 15, 2009.

NSB El 8. The NSB El 8 was a Norwegian electric locomotive which was built between 1940 and 1949. Although fast, the El 8 did not have bogies, making it rather stiff in the turns, a problem which was remedied with the introduction of the NSB El 11 and NSB El 13.

There were 16 El 8 engines produced. Four manufacturers were involved in building it: AEG, Norsk Elektrisk & Brown Boveri, Per Kure and Thune. The engines were numbered 8 2054 to 8 2061 and 8 2065 to 8 2072. The last El 8 was retired in 1987. Engine no. 8 2060 is preserved.

Novosibirsk Reservoir. Novosibirsk Reservoir or Novosibirskoye Reservoir (), informally called the Ob Sea (), is the largest artificial lake in Novosibirsk Oblast and Altai Krai, Russian Federation. It was created by a 33 m high concrete dam on the Ob River built in Novosibirsk. The dam, built in 1956, provides a water reservoir for generating hydroelectric power via Novosibirsk Hydroelectric Station. The reservoir is 200 km long and up to 17 km wide. Its area is 1,070 km2 and its volume is 8.8 km3 (at normal water level). Its average depth is 8.3 m. The design hydroelectric power output is 460 MW, the average energy production is 1,687 GWh per year. The normal water level (the level of active storage) is 113.5 meters, the maximum water level (the level of flood control storage) is 115.7 meters, the minimum water level (the level of dead storage) is 108.5 meters 

The Karakan Pine Forest is situated on the eastern coast of the reservoir, while most of the towns and villages are situated on the western coast. The larger towns bordering the reservoir are Novosibirsk (Akademgorodok quarter, ObGES), Kamen-na-Obi and Berdsk. Berdsk was severely impacted by the reservoir's construction, its historical centre having been submerged by the water. Several smaller villages nearby met with the same fate.

Recreation
During the summer, the lake is one of the most popular destinations for Novosibirsk residents, with many yachts and boats dotting the surface, and the beaches teeming with people.

IBM Open Class. IBM Open Class (IOC) is an IBM C++ product originally developed by Kevin Leong and originally known under several names in the C++ industry, including ICL (IBM Class Library), UICL (User Interface Class Library), and OCL (Open Class Library).

IOC was an extensive set of C++ classes used to build CLI and GUI applications which could then be easily cross-compiled to OS/2, Microsoft Windows, and AIX. IOC also formed the basis for IBM's VisualAge for C++ graphical application builder. The non-GUI portions of IOC were available for z/OS and OS/400.

History of IOC 

The IOC was included as part of IBM's C++ compiler environment. Applications developed with IOC could be distributed with a royalty-free runtime, or could be statically linked against the IOC libraries. Initially only available for OS/2, the IOC was eventually made available for Windows, AIX, z/OS, and OS/400. Support for the OS/2 and Windows VisualAge for C++ compiler—as well as the accompanying IOC—was officially withdrawn by IBM on April 27, 2001. IOC was removed from z/OS 1.9, introduced in 2007.

C/Set++ v2.01 for OS/2 (1993)
VisualAge C++ for OS/2, version 3.0
VisualAge for C++ for Windows, version 3.5
C and C++ Compilers for OS/2, AIX, and for Windows NT, version 3.6
C and C++ Compilers for OS/2 and Windows, version 3.65 (1998?)
VisualAge C++ Professional for OS/2 and Windows NT, version 4.0 (1998)

Examples 
The most widely recognized example of a simple application that uses the IOC is hello world:

  #include <iframe.hpp>
 int main()
 {
     IFrameWindow frame ("Hello, World!");
     frame.showModally();
 }
Other examples of commonly used IOC classes and methods include:

  #include <istring.hpp>
 IString someText ("hello world");

  #include <icmdhdr.hpp>
 virtual Boolean MyHandler::command (ICommandEvent &event);

Assault Glider Trust. The Assault Glider Trust is a registered charity established in 2001 and based at RAF Shawbury in Shropshire, England.

The trust was formed by veterans of the Glider Pilot Regiment Association.  Current projects of the trust are to convert a Dakota to its original parachute and glider tug function, along with restoring or building an Airspeed Horsa, an American CG-4A Waco and a De Havilland Tiger Moth.

In 2001, RAF Shawbury offered a home for the construction of the aircraft.  BAE Systems found the original working drawings for a Horsa glider and allowed these to be used for the project under the condition that any aircraft produced would not be flown.

Schneider ES-65. The Schneider ES-65 Platypus is a two-seater unflapped glider designed and built by Edmund Schneider Pty in Australia. A single prototype was built, which remains operational as of 2012.

Design and development
The Edmund Schneider company was originally based in Grunau, Silesia but reformed after World War II in Adelaide, Australia, producing the successful Schneider ES-60 from 1960 until 1970. Anticipating an Australian market for an ES-60-based side by side two-seater Harry Schneider began design and construction of the ES-64, a marriage of ES-60 wings with a new glass reinforced plastic (GRP) fuselage.  Australian gliding clubs showed little interest and the project proceeded slowly. In the early 1980s Schneider revived it with a simplified version, the ES-65 Platypus.

The Platypus has the extended plywood skinned ES-60 wing, built around a single spar. The leading edge is unswept but the straight trailing edges have forward sweep that increases on the outer, aileron-carrying, panels.  There are airbrakes mounted just aft of the spar on the inner panels. These wings were mid-mounted onto a new GRP fuselage.  This has a maximum width of 1.20 m (3 ft 11 in) to accommodate the side by side seating but narrowed in pod and boom style, particularly in plan, behind the wings. The cockpit has a two-piece fixed screen extending almost to the nose and is accessed via a rear hinged, bulged canopy.  The pod includes a fixed, faired, centre-line two wheel undercarriage, with a brake-equipped mainwheel under the wings and a smaller nosewheel.

The tail is also mostly GRP, though the elevator uses carbon fibre for lightness. These surfaces are straight-edged and tapering, the fin is tall with a rudder that extends to the bottom of the fuselage.  The high aspect ratio horizontal tail surface is mounted midway up the fin.

The Platypus made its first flight in August 1984 and its handling and performance were generally judged to be good.  There were plans to produce an all-GRP version, but the funding required was not available and no more ES-65s were built.

Operational history
The prototype, VH-GFA, is owned by a syndicate of members of the Geelong Gliding Club and of the Victorian Motorless Flight Group based at Bacchus Marsh airfield, Victoria.  It was still operational in 2005.

Air Forces Monthly. Air Forces Monthly (AFM) is a military aviation magazine published by Key Publishing Ltd, based at Stamford in the English county of Lincolnshire in the United Kingdom.  Established in 1988,  the magazine provides news and analysis on military aviation, technology, and related topics.

The Independent newspaper claims that "Air Forces Monthly is widely read in the MoD and in the defence industry, both in Britain and in the US".

In 1997, an AFM report that a military aircraft crash during takeoff at Boscombe Down on 26 September 1994 involved a classified Aurora aircraft prompted denials from the Ministry of Defence and the United States Defense Department.

Sister publications from Key Publishing include Air International, Air Enthusiast, Airliner World, and FlyPast.
