    CONFERENCE REPORT the 5TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE of the NORTH EAST INDIAN LINGUISTICS SOCIETY 12-14 February 2010, Shillong, Meghalaya, India

    Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area Volume 33.1 — April 2010 CONFERENCE REPORT THE 5TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE NORTH EAST INDIAN LINGUISTICS SOCIETY 12-14 February 2010, Shillong, Meghalaya, India Stephen Morey La Trobe University The 5th conference of the North East Indian Linguistics Society (NEILS) was held from 12th to 14th February 2010 at the Don Bosco Institute (DBI), Kharguli Hills, Guwahati, Assam. The conference was preceded by a two day workshop, hosted by Gauhati University,1 but also held at DBI. NEILS is grateful to the Research Centre for Linguistic Typology, La Trobe University, for providing funds to assist in the running of the workshops and conference. The two day workshop was in two parts: one day on using the Toolbox program, run by Virginia and David Phillips of SIL; and one day on working with tones, presented by Mark W. Post, Stephen Morey and Priyankoo Sarmah. Both workshops were well-attended and participatory in nature. The tones workshop included an intensive session of the Boro language, with five native speakers, all students of the Gauhati University Linguistics Department, providing information on their language and interacting with the participants. The conference itself began on 12th February with the launch of Morey and Post (2010) North East Indian Linguistics, Volume 2, performed by Nayan J. Kakoty, Resident Area Manager of Cambridge University Press India. This volume contains peer-reviewed and edited papers from the 2nd NEILS conference, held in 2007, representing NEILS’ commitment to the publication of the conference papers. A notable feature of the conference was the presence of seven people, from India, Burma, Australia and Germany, working on the Tangsa group of languages spoken on the India-Burma border.

    Hephaestus: Space Vehicle Conceptual Design Blue team March 20, 2021 Connor Cruickshank, Joel Lundahl, Birgir Steinn Hermannsson, Greta Tartaglia M.Sc. students, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden Abstract—A hypothetical contest has been issued to summit ms Structural mass Olympus Mons. This report details a conceptual design of a space P Power vehicle intended for that purpose. Functional requirements of the p Combustion chamber pressure vehicle were defined, and the primary subsystems identified. The 02 SpaceX Starship was chosen to serve as a design baseline and pe Exhaust gas exit pressure a comparison of suitable launch vehicles was made. Subsystems S Drag surface such as propulsion, reaction control, power generation, thermal T Thrust management and radiation shielding were considered, as well as ue Exhaust gas exit velocity interior design of the space vehicle and its protection measures W Weight for Mars entry and activities. The consequences of an engine-out scenario were studied. t Metric tonne The Starship launch system was deemed the most suitable launch vehicle candidate. Six Raptor engines were selected for the spacecraft main propulsion system, with 8 smaller thrusters I. INTRODUCTION for reaction control. A radiator mass of 890 kg was estimated In the year 2038 a challenge was issued for a team of for the thermal management system, and lithium metal hydride was determined an adequate radiation shielding material for the pioneers to be the first to reach the peak of Olympus Mons, the crew quarters. A radiation shelter was integrated into the pantry, highest mountain in the solar system. The reward for the first to and layouts of the crew quarters and cargo bay were prepared.
