  Bristol Proteus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Proteus was the Bristol Aeroplane Company's first successful gas-turbine engine design, a turboprop that delivered just over 4,000 hp (3,000 kW).
The original Proteus Mk.600 delivered 3,780 hp (2,820 kW), and was going to be used on the early versions of the Britannia and the Saunders-Roe Princess flying-boat.
The Coupled Proteus was also intended to be used on the Mk.II versions of the Bristol Brabazon, but this project was cancelled.

 Saunders-Roe Princess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Better runways and airports meant that future long-range airliners would be land-based aircraft, without the weight and drag of a boat hull.
The Princess was powered by ten Bristol Proteus turboprop engines, powering six propellers.
The four inner propellers were double, contra-rotating propellers driven by a twin version of the Proteus, the Bristol Coupled Proteus; each engine drove one of the propellers.

 Unreal Aircraft - Lost Classics - Bristol Brabazon
Bristol Aeroplane Company had already done a design study in 1937 for a long-range strategic bomber, so when invitations were extended in 1942 for studies related to a heavy bomber, they were at an advantage.
When the Brabazon Committee's intercontinental airliner was proposed, however, the work already done by Bristol late in WW2 on their heavy bomber design led to them being given an order for two prototypes, to be followed by a possible ten production aircraft.
Back in 1946, it had already been decided that a Brabazon Mk.II would be built with four Bristol Coupled Proteus turboprops, driving an eight-bladed contra-prop.

If they were less reckless, they were better skilled; if less frantic in their fury, they coupled it with a wary vindictiveness which rendered the blow more fatal when it fell.
The advances which they had made in civilisation had naturally increased their numbers; while the novel tastes by which their wandering habits were diminished, had necessarily added to their love of country, in adding to the resources and improvements by which its comforts and delights were increased.
Garden styles him "a perfect Proteus".* He was equally remarkable for his strategy as for his bravery; and his nobleness and generosity were, quite as much as these, the distinguishing traits of his character.

He was also made master of the side-wheel steamer Harrison a couple of seasons, the Pearl one season, and the old steamer Gazelle, formerly owned by John P. Clark, of Detroit, part of a season.
From that employment Captain Chatterton returned to the lakes and became mate of the bark David Morris in the lumber trade from Pidgeon river, Lake Huron, to Cleveland, and coal to Chicago, at which latter place she was laid up at the close of the season.
In the spring of 1873 he made a couple of trips to Chicago as mate of the passenger steamer India, but finished the season as master of the schooner Annie Sherwood.

The authors believe that dynamic Jahn-Teller coupling is the unifying mechanism for superconductivity in fullerenes, high-temperature superconductors, and organic superconductors.
The observed peak in the ratio of the superconducting to normal transmittance near 50 cm^[-1] is consistent with a distribution of superconducting energy gaps in the range 2-5 k_BT_c.Other ActivitiesStructures in the conductance that are periodic in bias voltage have been observed by J.-X. Liu et al.
The authors note that these reproducible features appear to result from geometrical resonances of the order parameter, as would be found in superconductor-normal multilayers, rather than from Coulomb-staircase or multiple-gap effects.

The first impact shook the inside of the cabin and a first aid kit became detached from its stowage, this flew across the cabin and hit W/Cmdr Geoff Atherton fully in the face, we later heard that this impact had, ironically, broken Geoffs nose.
After this first impact there was silence, there was no noise from the sweet hum of four Bristol Hercules engines anymore, three of the four engines had been completely ripped out of their bronze and steel bearings from the wing bulkheads each weighing over a ton, only number four engine (Starboard outer) remained on 579.
David recalls "it was an awesome experience to be aboard an aircraft that was jettisoning a full fuel load, I was obviously still suffering from the effects of the Hastings crash and to couple this with this new experience was, to say the least, terrifying and stressful".

In addition, ozone levels recorded in Bristol have been compared with hydrocarbon levels and in conjunction with trajectory modelling the role played by certain VOCs in the formation of ozone and radicals such as OH is assessed.
A simple approximation of radical fluxes is also presented based on the variations of the measured hydrocarbons and the role of biogenically produced compounds such as isoprene in the urban environment is also considered.
Surface spectral albedos were generated by the Jin-Stamnes coupled air-sea radiative transfer model, which accounts for scattering and absorption in both media explicitly; inputs include AOT, surface wind and precipitable water (measured at COVE), and chlorophyll concentration (estimated using both in situ data from the Chesapeake Bay and SeaWiFS).

After a couple of days, the frequency of instillations can be tapered down to q.i.d.
Second, they are less prone to encouraging the development of resistance on a number of fronts, primarily because of their higher activity against gram-positive pathogens, but also for other reasons (higher concentration in the case of levofloxacin; resistance to single-step topoisomerase mutations in the case of gatifloxacin and moxifloxacin).
Primary use of newer fluoroquinolones in preference to initial use of older fluoroquinolones offers a potential strategy for helping to forestall the development of resistance, but this approach must be coupled with the overall strategy of avoiding indiscriminate use and ensuring proper dosing of these antimicrobials.”
