• RYZUMVl is expected to be commercially available in the U.S. in the first half of 2024.
• Our hope is that by addressing patient dilation barriers, we're empowering eye care professionals to broaden exam availability, leading to enhanced eye health outcomes.
• Two drops (study eye) or one drop (fellow eye) of RYZUMVI or placebo (vehicle) were administered one hour after instillation of the mydriatic agent.
• The efficacy of RYZUMVI was similar for all age ranges including pediatric subjects aged 3 to 17 years.

• Cinema 4D 2024 is better than ever - with massive performance improvements in interactive playback, enhancements to Rigid Body simulations and a more “art-directable” Pyro workflow.
• VFX 2024 opens up a new dimension in lighting control and includes several enhancements to the popular Real Lens Flares.
• Redshift offers more creative freedom when using the MatCap and Distorter shaders as well as performance improvements on multi-core CPUs.

  Maxon announces highly anticipated Fall release.

• This year’s Burning Man Festival in Nevada has been washed out and 70,000 attendees are stuck in the mud.
• A large number of people are temporarily stuck at Burning Man and there are issues with emergency vehicle access.
• While it’s been reported a man has died at the festival, organisers say it was “unrelated to the weather”.

What is Burning Man?

• Burning Man has been held at the same time of year in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert since 1991.
• It has generally been at a hot and dry period, perfect for an outdoor festival.

Rain stops play

• In 2022, rain also led to the cancellation of the Splendour in the Grass Festival at Byron Bay.
• Going back to 1839, the Eglinton Tournament in Scotland, a medieval re-enactment event, was cancelled due to rain, with its grandstand collapsing and a reported 100,000 spectators stranded.
• Summer rain is a problem due to its unpredictability, intensity and the rapid runoff from baked soils.

Other problems for festivals

• The major problem for most festivals is not external shocks like rain, but rather deficiencies in management.
• The limited research we have indicates that many festivals have a short life-span and there is a high rate of failure.
• It is far more common to see short runs of a few years, one-offs, announced festivals that do not occur, re-branding of troubled events or changed venues and even cities.

The nature of events

• It is perhaps not widely appreciated that events like festivals have a very different nature to other forms of economic activity.
• The products – whether cars or chocolate bars – have to conform to the same specifications and perform or taste the same.
• Rain at Burning Man was not a “freak” weather event – it needed to be planned for.

• Gamma Technologies (GT), a global leader and innovator in multi-physics system simulation software, is pleased to welcome MTU Aero Engines (MTU), a leader in the quest for emissions-free aviation, as one of its latest clients.
• MTU selected GT-SUITE as one of its tools for thermodynamic simulation of important components for its Water-Enhanced Turbofan (WET), which reduces contrails and CO2 and NOx emissions.

  The WET propulsion concept uses residual heat from exhaust to achieve a steam generator to vaporize water, which is then injected into the combustor.
• “We are committed to pioneering technology with the goal of sustainable aviation,” remarked Dr. Jochen Gier, Team Lead of Cooling, Heat Transfer and Combustion at MTU.
