Poroshenko

[edit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petro_Poroshenko seems to be some whitewashing and problems with not accepting Russian media as sources. No dates on issue with foreign reporters being banned - needs to be added. - no details on why - related to Kharkiv use of telephoto lenses etc? during organised press tours of site where plane was brought down? or earlier? Also details of BBC 'misreporting/lying' case where they lost in court - no indication of what sources they relied on?? No mention of banning of Russian cable TV channels. When were pensions for Donbass region stopped? UNHRC? reports? Bidens son issues?


KISBEE, Thomas (Naval Officer)

[edit]

Inventor of the 'Kisbie ring' and 'breeches buoy'. Also 1st Lieutenant on board the HMSV Driver, which was the first steam paddle sloop to circumnavigate the world (1841-47). Thomas spent 1846-7 transporting Governor Grey around the North Island of New Zealand during the Maori Uprising.

Stemming

[edit]

Language issues

[edit]

>>Hebrew and Arabic are still considered difficult research languages for stemming. English stemmers are fairly trivial (with only occasional problems, such as "dries" being the third-person singular present form of the verb "dry", "axes" being the plural of "axe" as well as "axis"); but stemmers become harder to design as the morphology, orthography, and character encoding of the target language becomes more complex. For example, an Italian stemmer is more complex than an English one (because of a greater number of verb inflections), a Russian one is more complex (more noun declensions), a Hebrew one is even more complex (due to nonconcatenative morphology, a writing system without vowels, and the requirement of prefix stripping: Hebrew stems can be two, three or four characters, but not more), and so on.<<

citation needed?? POV see for example Porter Snowball website for contradicting evidence.

Susan Hockey - "The most sensible way of dealing with the lemmatisation problem is to use what is known as a machine dictionary. This is in effect an enormous file containing one record for every word in the text or language. When a word is 'looked up' in the dictionary, its record will supply further information about that word such as its dictionary heading, its part of speech and also some indication if it is a homograph. The size of such a dictionary file can truly be enormous but it can be reduced for some languages if the flectional endings are first removed from the form before it is looked up. This is not so easy for English where there are so many irregular forms, but even removing the plural ending -s would reduce the number of words considerably. For a language like Latin, Greek or even German it is far more practical to remove endings before the word is looked up."[1]

Information retrieval section- as at 26 Feb 19 this is awful

[edit]

Stemmers are common elements in query systems such as Web search engines. The effectiveness of stemming for English query systems were soon found to be rather limited, however, and this has led early information retrieval researchers to deem stemming irrelevant in general.[2] An alternative approach, based on searching for n-grams rather than stems, may be used instead. Also, stemmers may provide greater benefits in other languages than English.[3][4]

[[[dubiousdiscuss].]] Hi I have added a 'dubious' tag in the Information Retrieval section. I would prefer not to edit myself (and in accordance with Conflict-of-interest editing on Wikipedia) since I have a conflict of interest, please see my talk page for COI statement User:Ray3055. I have previously limited recent editing on this page to the history section e.g the Paice paragraph and added details to the Lovins paragraph.

The Wikipedia policy for adding dubious tags is: The accuracy of a statement may be a cause for concern if: It is cited to sources that are old, out of date, or have since been called into question; It contains information which is ambiguous and open to interpretation, either due to grammar, or opinionated wording; or There are reliable sources supporting two or more different claims.

The sentence of concern is: "The effectiveness of stemming for English query systems were soon found to be rather limited, however, and this has led early information retrieval researchers to deem stemming irrelevant in general."

I believe this is misleading, someone not familiar with the methods used by early researchers such as Harman, might not be aware that for example Krovetz (1996) using the same test collection and similar methods came to a different conclusion. Hull also questioned the evaluation methods and proposed improved measures, and finally of course Pholmann and Savoy found very significant improvements in Dutch, Slovene etc. The paragraph needs to correctly quote what is in the cited documents, rather than give the impression that that is the status quo today. The current academic standing as far as I am aware is that 'stemming is almost always useful'. Outside of academia, no one today would have an e-commerce store with search that failed at the very least to show a customer the page on 'ladies shoes' if someone had just searched for a gift using 'shoe for a lady' as a simple example.

The Language Section also needs serious attention. There are no citations at all for the section. I am pretty certain that Mr Porter and the late July B Lovins and Chris Paice would not appreciate their important pioneering work on English stemmers being seen as trivial. The english example is pure OR, and the rest seems speculation. Please add citations or remove the OR nonsense, it is written from an English speakers perspective, someone fluent in Arabic with no knowledge of English would come to quite another conclusion. Try adding for example the opinion of Martin Porter from here:

  • WWW search doesn't need high recall, so needs very light stemming only - but Google, eBay etc use Rosette tools from BASIS
  • assertion "researchers to deem stemming irrelevant in general" is highly unlikely to say that in the cited book. Only Harman found no benefit (i.e. that extra relevant docs found = extra irrelevant docs found) - the method was F1 based ( equal weighting for recall and Precision) which is of dubious use; others - Krovetz did same experiment on same files and came to a different conclusion, Hull claimed that stemming is almost always beneficial. Users in legal area prefer high recall and can use own judgment to ignore or consider related facts found that mighthave a relevance they had not thought of.) need to locate refs to support this and later investigations of Harmans results.

Baidu/Shawn Wang

[edit]

In December, 2007 Baidu became the first company from China to be included in the NASDAQ-100 index. [2]


http://ir.baidu.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=188488&p=irol-newsArticle_Print&ID=1090264&highlight=

Shawn Wang joined Baidu (BIDU:baidu com inc )as CFO in September 2004; he'd previously been a partner at the accounting and consulting firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers. He helped lead the company through its successful initial public offering on NASDAQ in August 2005, and through its recent inclusion in the NASDAQ-100; making Baidu the first company from China to be included in the index.

He was named "CFO of the Year" by CFO Magazine in 2005.

Shawn Wang was appointed as an independent director on WuXi PharmaTech's (WX) Shanghai provider of outsourced drug-development services) Board of Directors in July, 2007 when the company was preparing its public listing on the New York Stock Exchange. During his brief tenure and as the Chairman of the Audit Committee, Shawn advised the company's management in particular areas of financial reporting, Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance and investor relations.

He died in an accident while vacationing in China on Thursday December 27, 2007.


Analysts said Baidu would be able to avoid a crisis in the absence of Wang. "While employee sentiment is likely to be negative in the near term, we believe the business impact is not significant," said Dick Wei, a technology strategist with JPMorgan in Hong Kong, in a note Monday. Wei cited Baidu.com's senior management team and "solid" finance and human resources departments as capable of steering the firm through the transition ahead. "We remain positive of Baidu, the dominant market leader in China's online search market, which is still in an early growth stage," Wei said.

Baidu went public on Nasdaq in August 2005 at $27 a share; less than 21/2 years later, it's trading at nearly 15 times its IPO price.

Baidu said the CFO's duties would be assumed by the company's senior managers for now. JPMorgan said Haoyu Shen, Baidu's vice president of business operations, would likely succeed Wang in overseeing finance operations. JP Morgan maintained Baidu's share price target at $400.

For the fiscal year ended 31 December 2007, Sohu.com Inc.'s revenues increased 41% to $188.9M. Net income increased 31% to $35M. [3]

Benglish

[edit]

Computational Analysis

[edit]

With its widespread use in Social Media such as Blogs, Facebook and Twitter the analysis of Hinglish using computers has become important in a number of Natural Language Processing applications like Machine Translation (MT) and Speech-to-Speech Translation. [1] [2]

Alongside Hinglish, Benglish is a term that has been used in academic papers to describe a mixture of Bangla (Bengali language) and English in academic papers, for example Benglish Verbs are described as a particular type of complex predicate, which consists of an English word and a Bengali verb e.g. /EksiDenT kOra/ ‘to have an accident’, /in kOra/ ‘to get/come/put in’ or /kOnfuz kOra/ ‘to confuse’.

Oxford Concordance Program

[edit]

Redirect from OCP disambig. redirect (concordance program) to Concordancer

The Oxford Concordance Program (OCP)[1][2] was first released in 1981 and was a result of a project started in 1978 by Oxford University Computing Services to create a machine independent text analysis program for producing word lists, indexes and concordances in a variety of languages and alphabets.

In the 1980's it was claimed to have been licensed to around 240 institutions in 23 countries.





History

[edit]

OCP was designed and written in FORTRAN by Susan Hockey and Ian Marriott of Oxford Computing Services in the period 1979-1980 and it's authors acknowledged that it owed much to the earlier COCOA and CLOC (University of Birmingham) concordance systems.[3][4]

During 1985-6 OCP was completely rewritten as version 2 to increase the efficiency of the program.[5][2]

Concordancer

[edit]

CLOC

[edit]

CLOC was a 1st generation general purpose text analyzer program produced at the University of Birmingham that could produce concordances as well as word lists and collocational analysis of text. First-generation concordancers were typically held on a mainframe computer and used at a single site; individual research teams would build their own concordancer and use it on the data they had access to locally, any further analysis was done by separate programs.[1]

History

[edit]

CLOC was written by Alan Reed in Algol 68-R which was available only on the ICT 1900 series of computer at that time. Perhaps because it was designed for use in a department of linguistics rather than by computer specialists it had the distinction of having a comparatively simple user interface,[2] it also has some useful features for studying collations or the co-occurrence of words. [3]

CLOC was used in the COBUILD project that was headed by Professor John Sinclair. [4][5]

The OTA was founded by Lou Burnard and Susan Hockey of Oxford University Computing Services (OUCS) in 1976, initially as the Oxford Archive of Electronic Literature. It is thought to be one of the first archives of digital academic textual resources to collect and distribute materials from other research centres. The OTA continued to be hosted by OUCS (which became subsumed into IT Services[2] in 2012), and in November 2016, the OTA found a new home in the Bodleian Library.[3]

Flag of Fuerteventura

[edit]

The flag of Fuerteventura is in proportions 1:2, divided vertically, green to the hoist and white to the fly end, with the coat of arms of the island in the centre.

Coat of Arms

[edit]

The coat of arms of Fuerteventura was prescribed by a Decree adopted on 15 October 1998 by the Government of the Canary Islands and published on 11 November 1998 in the official gazette of the Canary Islands, No. 142, pp. 13,432-13,433. It was adopted on 24 April 1998 by the Island Council and validated on 18 September 1998 by the Heraldry Commission of the Canary Islands.

The heraldic description is "per pale and per fess. First, gules, a castle or, masoned sable, its gate and windows azure. Second, argent, lion gules, crowned, armed and langued or. Third, silver, three fesses chequy gules and or, in four rows, each one charged with a fess or. Bordure gules, with eight saltires or. Ensigned with a royal crown, open."

According to José Manuel Erbez (Banderas y escudos de Canarias, 2007; , the coat of arms is based on the arms of the island's provincial militia. The upper quarters represent Castile (symbolized by a castle) and León (symbolized by a lion). The lower quarter alludes to the Saavedra family; various members of this family were lords of Fuerteventura. [1][2]

[edit]

Piotr Bielkowicz (born February 1, 1902 in Kiev, died on September 30, 1993) - Polish aviation engineer, participant of the Apollo program.

He was the son of a general of the tsarist army. During the World War, he and his family were evacuated deep into Russia. He worked in a coal mine for some time. After repatriation to Poland, he began studies at the University of Vilnius. In 1930 he obtained a master's degree in philosophy in the field of mathematics. Then he studied at the École Superieure de l'Aeronautique in Paris, where he obtained the title Ingenieur Civil de l'Aeronautique in 1933. École nationale supérieure de l'aéronautique et de l'espace In the years 1933-1939 he worked in the Polish aviation industry. He made aerodynamic and strength calculations for PZL P.11 and PZL P.24 aircraft.

At the beginning of the Second World War he made his way to France, and after the Germans entered, he continued to walk through the Pyrenees to Spain, where he spent two years in prison from March 1941 to January 1943. In March 1943 he arrived in Great Britain and began working in Polish aviation.

In 1946-1947 he published six articles in Aircraft Engineering titled "Evolution of Energy in Jet and Rocket Propulsion." In 1947-1951 he lectured at the Polish college university in London and worked in the British aviation industry, in 1951 he went to the United States and began lecturing at Brown University.

From July 1953, he lectured at the Air Force Institute of Technology as Assistant Professor, from 1954 as Associate Professor and from 1959 as Professor. He participated in the design of LM Lunar Module and reusable spacecraft rockets.

He also collaborated with the Allison Division of General Motors and the Boeing Aircraft Company in the design of the lunar lander

In 1972 he retired, but remained active as Professor Emeritus of Aeronautical Engineering.

"The advantages of this algorithm is it is *very fast* and can handle removal of double letters in words like ‘getting’ being transformed to ‘get’ and also handles many irregular plurals like – mouse and mice, index and indices etc. Drawbacks of the Lovins approach are that it is *time and data consuming*.

"Time consuming" is inconsistent with the statement that is *very fast*

  • data consuming* - presumably means the fact that the table needs to be stored and read somewhere - memory to make it fast compared with stored on disk, but so what? the table is very small.

Here is another Indian academic paper: IJARCSSE Volume 6, Issue 2, February 2016 ISSN: 2277 128X International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer Science and Software Engineering

Applications of Stemming Algorithms in Information Retrieval- A Review 
Rakesh Kumar  *  , Vibhakar Mansotra 
Department of Computer Science & IT, University of Jammu, India 

Lovins(1968) developed the first stemmer, it performs a lookup on a table of 294 endings, 29 conditions and 35 transformation rules, which have been arranged on a longest match principle. The Lovins stemmer removes the longest

suffix from a word and once the ending is removed, the word is recoded using a different table that makes various 
adjustments to convert these stems into valid words. It always removes a maximum of one suffix from a word, due to its 
nature as single pass algorithm. The advantages of this algorithm is, it is very fast and can handle removal of double 
letters in words like „getting‟ being transformed to „get‟ and also handles many irregular plurals like – mouse and mice, 
index and indices etc. Drawbacks of the Lovins approach are that it is time and data consuming. Furthermore, many 
suffixes are not available in the table of endings. It is sometimes highly unreliable and frequently fails to form words 
from the stems or to match the stems of like-meaning words. The reason being the technical vocabulary being used by 
the author[9].

TODO TALK:

The Lovins Stemming Algorithm

[edit]

I have removed from the last para: "However, one disadvantage is that its running time is long and it consumes a lot of data." I have also edited "Furthermore, it is ineffective at forming words from the stems and matching stems that are similar in meaning.[23]" to read - "Disadvantages are many suffixes are not available in the table of endings. It is sometimes highly unreliable and frequently fails to form words from the stems or to match the stems of like-meaning words. The reason being the technical vocabulary being used by the author."


Ref [23] actually states: "The advantages of this algorithm is it is very fast and can handle removal of double letters in words like ‘getting’ being transformed to ‘get’ and also handles many irregular plurals like – mouse and mice, index and indices etc. Drawbacks of the Lovins approach are that it is time and data consuming. Furthermore, many suffixes are not available in the table of endings. It is sometimes highly unreliable and frequently fails to form words from the stems or to match the stems of like-meaning words. The reason being the technical vocabulary being used by the author. " (From IJCTA | NOV-DEC 2011 Anjali Ganesh (The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda)

Here is another quote from a different Indian University paper in 2016: "The advantages of this algorithm is, it is very fast and can handle removal of double letters in words like „getting‟ being transformed to „get‟ and also handles many irregular plurals like – mouse and mice, index and indices etc. Drawbacks of the Lovins approach are that it is time and data consuming. Furthermore, many suffixes are not available in the table of endings. It is sometimes highly unreliable and frequently fails to form words from the stems or to match the stems of like-meaning words. The reason being the technical vocabulary being used by the author" (From IJARCSSE Volume 6, Issue 2, February 2016. Applications of Stemming Algorithms in Information Retrieval- A Review. Rakesh Kumar, Vibhakar Mansotra (Department of Computer Science & IT, University of Jammu, India)

Yes, the wording in both papers is identical. The second paper actually bothers to give a citation for this information, it is [9] J. B. Lovins, “Development of a stemming algorithm,” Mechanical Translation and Computer Linguistic., vol.11, no.1/2, pp. 22-31, 1968.

However, in the original Lovins paper it simply states: "The obvious disadvantage to this method is that it requires generating all possible combinations of affixes. A second disadvantage is the amount of storage space the endings require."

Since both these papers and others agree that the method is very fast, the 'time consuming' or 'time to generate all possible combinations', or 'its running time is long' criticisms seems to be nonsense; although in 1968 the storage space to hold such a small table might have been an issue, in 2019 it's not an issue, if indeed the 'data consuming' criticism was referring to this.

The paper from IJCTA | NOV-DEC 2011 Anjali Ganesh - makes no such reference to "it is ineffective at forming words from the stems and matching stems that are similar in meaning" that is why I have removed it; It gives no citation for the "many suffixes are not available in the table of endings. It is sometimes highly unreliable and frequently fails to form words from the stems or to match the stems of like-meaning words. The reason being the technical vocabulary being used by the author", however, I believe this is based on earlier papers of others* that the author has simply overlooked to cite. For now, at least the Wikipedia entry has an academic reference albeit a very poor quality one.

  • for example at http://snowball.tartarus.org/algorithms/lovins/stemmer.html it states: "The design of the algorithm was much influenced by the technical vocabulary with which Lovins found herself working" and "The subject term list may also have been slightly limiting in that certain common endings are not represented..."

The first ever published stemming algorithm was: Lovins JB (1968) Development of a stemming algorithm. Mechanical Translation and Computational Linguistics, 11: 22-31. Julie Beth Lovins’ paper was remarkable for the early date at which it was done, and for its seminal influence on later work in this area.

The design of the algorithm was much influenced by the technical vocabulary with which Lovins found herself working (subject term keywords attached to documents in the materials science and engineering field). The subject term list may also have been slightly limiting in that certain common endings are not represented (ements and ents for example, corresponding to the singular forms ement and ent), and also in that the algorithm's treatment of short words, or words with short stems, can be rather destructive.

The Lovins algorithm is noticeably bigger than the Porter algorithm, because of its very extensive endings list. But in one way that is used to advantage: it is faster. It has effectively traded space for time, and with its large suffix set it needs just two major steps to remove a suffix, compared with the eight of the Porter algorithm.

The Lovins stemmer has 294 endings, 29 conditions and 35 transformation rules. Each ending is associated with one of the conditions. In the first step the longest ending is found which satisfies its associated condition, and is removed. In the second step the 35 rules are applied to transform the ending. The second step is done whether or not an ending is removed in the first step.

For example, nationally has the ending ationally, with associated condition, B, ‘minimum stem length = 3’. Since removing ationally would leave a stem of length 1 this is rejected. But it also has ending ionally with associated condition A. Condition A is ‘no restriction on stem length’, so ionally is removed, leaving nat.

The transformation rules handle features like letter undoubling (sitting -> sitt -> sit), irregular plurals (matrix and matrices), and English morphological oddities ultimately caused by the behaviour of Latin verbs of the second conjugation (assume / assumption, commit / commission etc). Although they are described as being applied in turn, they can be broken into two stages, rule 1 being done in stage 1, and either zero or one of rules 2 to 35 being done in stage 2.

Education & Career

[edit]

undergraduate in English and French at a university in the former Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). After arriving in London in 1972 he took an Open University degree in mathematics, computing and systems. postgraduate certificated in education. In the UK he worked at the BBC as programmer, systems analyst and then systems manager. In 1988 he moved to King's College London to take up the post of Assistant Director in Computing Services for Humanities and Information Management.

Harold Short recounts that his interest in Computing and the Humanities goes back to when he was an undergraduate in English and French at a university in the former Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). There, whilst undertaking summer work in the library, he saw first-hand the potential of digital methods. After arriving in London in 1972 he took an Open University degree in mathematics, computing and systems. Among his early influences he identifies the reading he did on matters related to cognitive science whilst undertaking a postgraduate certificated in education. In the UK he worked at the BBC as programmer, systems analyst and then systems manager. In 1988 he moved to King's College London to take up the post of Assistant Director in Computing Services for Humanities and Information Management. One of his first tasks was to work with the Humanities Faculty to develop an undergraduate programme in humanities and computing. The first digital humanities conference he attended was the first joint international conference of ALLC and ACH, held at the University Toronto in 1989, which c. 450 people attended. He reflects on aspects of the institutional shape of the field towards the end of the 1980s, including the key Centres that existed then, the first meeting of the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing (ALLC) and those who were active in it such as Roy Wisbey, Susan Hockey and the late Antonio Zampolli. He gives a detailed discussion of the development of what is now the Department of Digital Humanities in King's College London, both in terms of the administrative and institutional issues involved, as well as the intellectual. He also reflects on some of the most successful collaborations that the Department has been involved in, for example, the AHRC funded Henry III Fine Rolls project, and the conditions and working practices that characterised them. He closes by discussing his impressions about the movement of scholars into and out of the discipline and of the institutional issues that have had an impact on digital humanities centres.

Antonio Zampolli (1937-2003), together with Roberto Busa, is considered one of the pioneers of computational linguistics in Italy and internationally. In 1978 he founded the Institute of Computational Linguistics (ILC) in Pisa, one of the major research centers of the sector in Italy[1]

Biografia

[edit]

He graduated in Classical Literature at the University of Padua in 1960 with a thesis on mathematical linguistics (Studies of linguistic statistics performed with IBM systems), he concentrated his research activity in the field of computational linguistics. [3][4]

He became Professor of Computational Linguistics at the University of Pisa, in 1968 he founded and directed the Linguistic Division of the CNUCE, this transformed in 1978 into the Institute of Computational Linguistics (ILC) of the National Research Council (CNR), which now bears his name . [2]

His main research interests were computational lexicology and lexicography, computer assisted language teaching, formal grammars and parsers, literary and linguistic textual analysis, machine translation, multimedia, multilingualism, quantitative linguistics, the reuse of lexical resources, standards for the processing of literary and linguistic data, the elaboration of the text. [2]

He died in 2003, victim of a home fire. [1]


After graduating in Mathematical Linguistics, in 1960 he starts working with Father R. Busa S. J. at the Centro per l’Automazione dell’Analisi Linguistica (CAAL) of Gallarate (Milan), as the coordinator of the operations of electronic examination of the collected works by S. Tommaso d'Aquino.

In 1968 he becomes the Director of the Linguistics Division of the Centro Nazionale Universitario di Calcolo Elettronic (CNUCE) in Pisa and in 1969 he starts teaching Computational Linguistics (previously called Mathematical Linguistics) at Pisa University.

In 1980 he founded the first Italian scientific institute entirely dedicated to research in the field of Computational Linguistics: the Institute for Computational Linguistics (ILC) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), which he directed until his death (on August 22, 2003) and that now bears his name.[2]

In 2005 Dr Roger Tucker had an idea for a software application to help students with disabilities to take better notes. This was aimed at students with disabilities like dyslexia who found note taking difficult to the point of affecting their attainment and often relied on lengthy digital recordings for note-taking. He founded Sonocent and in 2007 Audio Notetaker was launched. The software was recommended to students through the Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) scheme in the UK. [4]

In 2014 Sonocent was an Educational Resource Awards (ERA) winner and in 2015 it won the BETT IT Company of the Year (Under £1m turnover) award, it was also in the 2018 Northern Tech Awards Top 100.

It was featured in The Parliamentary Review (Technology)2017/18. [5]

TO DO

[edit]
  • 2 March 2019 rewrite/neutral - add more 3rd party refs
  • 3 March 2019 page was speedily deleted. G11, G12 fixed copyright but no time to add third party or history etc. Looks like the events company that run it have a poor understanding of importance of in-depth info on website for press and media - no 'backgrounders',no lists of past winners, no history, no mention of people involved in judging. Seems dubious as having any real notability - could not find any mention by BBC etc online. Only sources seem to be past recipients, using the same words as on the ERA website. Also logo uses the term Education resources, whilst winners seem to use phrase Educational Resources.
  • don't waste time re writing - but this leaves some broken inbound links to a non existant article - so perhaps another will try a re-write.

Andreas von Bechtolsheim

[edit]

Article 'early life' seems suspect - says age 16 used 8008 to build a micro-controller. 8008 wasn't in Intel's catalogue until April 1972 in USA. His 16th birthday would have been Sept 1971, 17 in Sept 1972. When were they sold in Germany?

https://www.edn.com/electronics-blogs/dev-monkey-blog/4408716/My-First-Dev-Kit-for-the---8008


This ref in the same article says age 17:

Andreas von Bechtolsheim was very interested in computers and the associated hardware and software at an early stage. At just 17, he built a small computer that was used to control sheet metal stamping machines. He built this computer for a friendly entrepreneur, which gave him license fees of 100 D-Marks (about 51 Euro) per device. His curiosity and creativity in the field in 1974, when he was only 18 years old, earned him the "Youth Research" award in the field of physics in 1974 with his work on accurate flow measurement through ultrasound.


With the support of a Studienstiftung, he was able to start his studies in electrical engineering (focus on data processing) at the Technical University of Munich. Through a Fulbright scholarship in 1975 he moved to Carnegie Mellon University to Pittsburgh (USA), where he graduated in 1976 as a master in computer science.


After graduation, he moved to Silicon Valley in 1977, where he also took a student summer job at Stanford University as a programmer, shortly thereafter, he was accepted there as a doctoral student. In 1980/1981 he developed a computer, using a CAD system to design the Ethernet card, graphics card, and main processor board himself, supported by the US Military Research Agency.


In 1982, Andreas von Bechtolsheim gave up his doctoral position and with three of his classmates (Scott McNealy, Vinod Khosla, Bill Joy) took the step into independence, the way to one of the heavyweights in Silicon Valley and began his billions of assets. They called their company "SUN," an acronym for "Stanford University Network."


The company grew rapidly and was already successfully listed on the stock market in 1986. In 1988, the turnover was just over one billion US dollars (about 730 million euros) and 10 years later, it was almost ten billion US dollars (about 7.3 billion euros).


Andreas von Bechtolsheim left SUN in 1995 and held his position as Vice President Technology in 1985, seeking new challenges. In the ten years of his absence, he successfully founded several companies and participated in various start-ups. He returned to SUN in 2004, where he served as Senior Vice President and Chief Architect until he retired in 2010 (moving to Arista Networks, a company financed by him).

West London

[edit]

As a resident of West London I am surprised to see that Holland Park has moved to Central London. Apparently on the basis of the London Plan. The London Plan divides up Outer London for planning purposes and included London Airport and Hillingdon which most Londoners would consider 'west of London' rather than West London. Doing a quick Google comes up with these:

I would rather not start an 'edit war' - and maybe to someone that doesn't live in West London the POV is different? But on Postal Codes (W8, W11) and common usage in the press I would favour West London.

SIRIUS (Scientific International Research in Unique Terrestrial Station)

[edit]

SIRIUS, an acronym for Scientific International Research in Unique Terrestrial Station, is a series of experiments that investigates the effects of isolation and simulates a flight to the moon at the Institute of Biomedical Problems (IBMP) in Moscow, Russia. The first of the series started in 2017. Following the 2019 122-day experiment will be an eight-month experiment in 2020 and twelve-month experiment in 2021 in which the European Space Agency will participate[1][2]

SIRIUS-17

[edit]

November 2017. The first of the series of joint Russian-US SIRIUS experiments in which NASA's Human Research Program and IBMP conducted research to identify preventive measures and technologies to protect the health of astronauts during spaceflight, it lasted 17 days. The 6 person crew conducted over 60 experiments, ‘captured’ satellites using a manipulator arm and controlled a rover on the Moon’s surface. One experiment consisted of 38-hours of sleep deprivation, during which crew members had to perform a manual VR-simulated docking of the planned Russian Federatsiya (Federation) spaceship with a booster rocket in Earth’s orbit[3][4][5]

Crew

[edit]

(incomplete list, there were 6 crew members)

  • Mark Serov, mission commander, Russian. Former test cosmonaut, selected 2003 (RKKE-13) and an employee of RKK Energia, married to Yelena Serova[6]
  • Anna Kikina, first flight engineer, Russian. Former cosmonaut.
  • Ilya Rukavishnikov, crew doctor, Russian. IBMP staff.
  • Elena Luchinskaya, Russian. Previously crew captain of the 8-day all-female "Luna 2015" mission. [7]
  • Viktor Fetter, flight engineer, German. Employee of Airbus Defense & Space.
  • Natalia Lysova, researcher, Russian. IBMP staff.

[8][9][10][11]

SIRIUS-19

[edit]

Commenced 19 March 2019 at the NEK ground based facility at IBMP.[12] The crew will carry out over 80 experiments and halfway through there will be a simulated visit to the moon, four crew members will 'land on the lunar surface' in a small capsule and will carry out several 'moonwalks' while wearing spacesuits, they will also collect samples and prepare a 'settlement'. Two members of the crew will remain behind in the simulated Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway(LOP-G) [13] and monitor them. After the return and docking of the lander with the simulated LOP-G, the whole crew will orbit the moon for 30 days, remotely control rovers on the lunar surface, dock spaceships with the Orbital Platform, and carry out other experiments before their "return to Moscow". Participants in the study are the German Aerospace Center Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) Space Administration and the French space agency (CNES), under the leadership of Roscosmos and NASA.

Crew

[edit]
  • Evgeny Tarelkin, crew commander, Russian.
  • Daria Zhidova, flight engineer, Russian.
  • Stephania Fedeye, crew doctor, Russian.
  • Anastasia Stepanova, test researcher, Russian.
  • Reinhold Povilaitis, test researcher, an American analyst of research and operations on NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission.
  • Allen Mirkadyrov, test researcher, an American that works in the Telecommunication Networks and Technologies Branch at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.[14][3]
