Luftfahrtforschungsanstalt
The ''Deutsche Luftfahrtforschungsanstalt'' (English: German Aeronautical Research Institute, LFA, also known as the ''Hermann Göring Research Institute'') was a secret German facility for airframe, aeroengine, and aircraft weapons testing during the Second World War. It was Germany's "most advanced and extensive viationresearch establishment, outside of the existing ''Erprobungsstelle'' network of military aviation evaluation facilities, themselves headquartered at Rechlin. Located near Völkenrode, on the western outskirts of Braunschweig (Brunswick), near what became the Inner German Border. it was a site begun in October 1935. The first wind tunnel was begun in November 1936. Most of the sixty buildings, scattered around the site, did not exceed treetop height, and all were well-camouflaged, to reduce the chance of them being detected by aerial reconnaissance and to avoid making them targets, as the wind tunnels of the '' Deutsche Versuchsanstalt für Luftfahrt'' (''DVL'') i ...

2003 Deaths
3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious or cultural significance in many societies. Evolution of the Arabic digit The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use. That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...

Max Jakob Memorial Award
The Max Jakob Memorial Award recognizes an 'eminent scholarly achievement and distinguished leadership' in the field of heat transfer. Awarded annually to a scholar by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), it is the highest honor in the field of heat transfer these professional organizations bestow. The award was established in 1961 by the American Society of Mechanical Engineering Heat Transfer Division in honor of Max Jakob, a pioneer in the science of heat transfer, commemorating his influential contributions as a research worker, educator, and author. In 1962, the AIChE joined the ASME in presenting the award. It is administered though the Max Jakob Memorial Award Committee, a board composed of three members from each of the two major professional organizations, as well as the Past Chair of the committee. The award is presented annually, without regard to society affiliation or nationality. It consists of ...

Bayer
Bayer AG (, commonly pronounced ; ) is a German multinational corporation, multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology company and one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Headquartered in Leverkusen, Bayer's areas of business include pharmaceuticals; consumer healthcare products, agricultural chemicals, seeds and biotechnology products. The company is a component of the Euro Stoxx 50 stock market index. Bayer was founded in 1863 in Barmen as a partnership between dye salesman Friedrich Bayer and dyer Friedrich Weskott. As was common in this era, the company was established as a dyestuffs producer. The versatility of aniline chemistry led Bayer to expand their business into other areas, and in 1899 Bayer launched the compound acetylsalicylic acid under the trademarked name Aspirin. In 1904 Bayer received a trademark for the "Bayer Cross" logo, which was subsequently stamped onto each aspirin tablet, creating an iconic product that is still sold by Bayer. Ot ...
