"The Ratanakosindra class gunboats were built in the UK for the Royal Thai Navy. Originally ordered in 1914, they were cancelled as a result of the First World War. They were reordered again in the 1920s from Hawthorn Leslie. The class consisted of two ships, Ratanakosindra and Sukothai. They displaced 1000 tons and were capable of 12 knots. They were armed with two 6 inch guns, and 4 12pounders. See also * Ratanakosin-class corvette, identically named class from the 1980s References Ships of the Royal Thai Navy Gunboat classes "

"Irena Swanson is an American mathematician specializing in commutative algebra. She is head of the Purdue University Department of Mathematics since 2020. She was a professor of mathematics at Reed College from 2005 to 2020. Education and career Swanson is originally from the former Yugoslavia, in what is now Slovenia, and was attracted to mathematics from a very young age. She came to the US as an exchange student in Tooele, Utah in her last year of high school. There, she became interested in Reed College, the alma mater of her host mother, and applied only to Reed for her undergraduate studies. She is a 1987 graduate of Reed, with an undergraduate thesis on functional analysis. She went to Purdue University for graduate study, completing her Ph.D. in mathematics in 1992. Her dissertation, Tight Closure, Joint Reductions, And Mixed Multiplicities, was supervised by Craig Huneke. After postdoctoral research at the University of Michigan, she joined the faculty at New Mexico State University, and moved from there back to Reed in 2005. Swanson returned to Purdue in 2020 as Head of the Department of Mathematics. She is the first woman to hold the position. Contributions With her advisor, Craig Huneke, Swanson is the author of the book Integral Closure of Ideals, Rings, and Modules (Cambridge University Press, 2006). She is currently an Associate Editor for the Journal of Commutative Algebra. Swanson is also a creator of mathematical quilts, and is the inventor of a quilting technique, "tube piecing", for making quilts more efficiently. Recognition Swanson was included in the 2019 class of fellows of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to commutative algebra, exposition, service to the profession and mentoring". In 2018 she was awarded a Fulbright-NAWI Graz Fellowship to work at the University of Graz in Austria.
