Marangara Hydroelectric Power Station. Marangara Hydroelectric Power Station () is an  run-of-the-river hydroelectric power station in the Ngozi Province of Burundi.

History

Marangara was inaugurated in 1986, producing 280 kW of power.
The station has two Francis Turbines.
It originally supplied electricity to the communes of Marangara, Ntega and Kirundo.

In 2007 it was expected that the Marangara (280 kW), Buhiga (240 kW) and Kayenzi (800 kW) power plants would soon by connected to the national grid through the Musasa substation, which would be connected by a 30 kV line to the Ngozi substation.
The project was financed by the Programme de réhabilitation du Burundi (PREBU).

Farmers were compensated to move off the land above the hydroelectric dams, but they returned and resumed farming after a few years.
Farmers along the Ndurumu River cut down almost all the trees and planted crops such as cassava and banana.
During heavy rainfall tons of earth, stones and trees are washed into the valley, digging huge furrows and forming a mountain of mud and stones in the reservoir.

Marangara was shut down for most of 2016.
That year the two alternators were rewound.

In 2012 the station produced 1,393,836 Kwh. 
In 2021 it supplied 306,480 Kwh.
By 2024 the Rwegura Hydroelectric Power Station was supplying Ntega and Kirundo, and Marangara was only serving the commune of Marangara.
Erosion waste was deposited in the supply channels and sometimes stuck to the turbines, causing damage.
In April 2024 the power station had been out of service for three months. 
Technicians from REGIDESO Burundi had been unable to repair the turbines.
As of June 2024 the Marangara Hydroelectric Power Station had not reopened.

Prohászka Mill. The Prohászka Mill is an industrial building in Timișoara, Romania, located on the right bank of the Bega Canal in the Iosefin district. It is the largest and the only one that still exists among the mills built during the industrial boom experienced by Iosefin at the end of the 19th century.

It was built in 1869, when the Banat Steam Mill Company was founded, but the original building was smaller than the one that still exists today. Between 1880 and 1908, it functioned as a branch of the Elisabeth Mill in Budapest, during which it was simply called Elisabeth Mill (; ). In 1909, Ede Prohászka Jr. bought and expanded the mill, equipped it with a two-story warehouse and connected it to the Iosefin train station by a one-kilometer-long railroad track. It was in his possession until 1926.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the mill was equipped with steam and electric power of approximately 900 hp. The 25 workers of the mill processed 15 grain wagons daily. Built right on the banks of the Bega, the mill had its own pier, because water transport was cheap, and on the Bega–Tisza–Danube canal, goods reached Central Europe. In the interwar period, the mill had 300 employees and 45 functionaries. It processed more than 6,000 grain wagons (600,000 quintals of flour and other products) annually, and half of the production was exported mainly to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Germany, Holland, England, France and Switzerland, but also to the Old Kingdom and the United States.

During World War II, the mill was heavily bombed, permanently losing its western body. Around the 1960s, two blocks of flats were built on that land, which can still be seen today. The current owner of the mill is Tender Imobiliare. Today the mill is abandoned, in an advanced state of decay.

Montolivet Bridge. The Montolivet Bridge (, ) is a road bridge in the southeast part of the city of Valencia that crosses the dry Túria riverbed and the western half of the City of Arts and Sciences.  To the north, the bridge ends at the Roundabout of Europe, one of the largest in the city, while to the south it intersects the Saler motorway.

It is a unique bridge in the city because it consists of two clearly different bridge segments: the older straight bridge, which crosses only the northern half of the dry riverbed, and the newer curved bridge, which continues the bridge across an artificial reflecting pond to the southern shore. It was upon the construction of the City of Arts and Sciences in the riverbed that the south bridge segment was built.  The two-segment bridge was inaugurated in 2007.

Design features
Both bridge segments consist of two separate roadways, each with four lanes for vehicular traffic as well as a wide sidewalk for bicycles and pedestrians. The total width of the dual roadways including the median gap is about  for both bridge segments.

The older north bridge segment, built in the 1980s, was designed by Fernández Ordóñez (1933–2000) with straight dual roadways and was also called the Maristas Brothers bridge. Each roadway is supported by a series of dual vertical rectangular columns, in between which are smooth haunches in gray concrete with the corners and other trim details painted distinctively in brown.  In 2014, the railings of this older north segment was replaced.

In contrast, the newer south bridge segment, designed by Santiago Calatrava, has two curved roadways each supported on four slender curved legs that converge at a point base midway across an artificial reflecting pond. Made of white shiny concrete, it contains hardly any straight line, mainly swooping curves, which give it an organic leaping quality when view on the riverbed level. It ties L'Hemisfèric to its east with Palua de les Arts Reina Sofía to its west. It plays a significant role in the whole scheme of the City of Arts and Sciences.

The two bridge segments are joined at the staircase abutment, which has stairs on each side leading down to the riverbed. On the median of the abutment, there is a round Roman limestone column  high. It was a gift from the architect Calatrava to the city of Valencia, to mark the spot where Pope Benedict XVI conducted Mass on 9 July 2006.

Wildlife Drones. Wildlife Drones is an Australian company specialising in drone radio-telemetry, offering radio-tracking and thermal imaging services. The company is headquarters in Canberra, Australia, and its technology is used by researchers, wildlife biologists, government agencies, and environmental consultants to collect data for wildlife conservation and management.

History 

Wildlife Drones was founded in 2016 by Debbie Saunders, a conservation ecologist, following her doctoral research at the Fenner School of Environment and Society, ANU. Saunders' work on the winter habitat use and movements of the Swift Parrot led to the development of a radio-receiver payload designed for use with drones. This innovation included real-time signal processing, analytics, and mapping software.

Product 
Wildlife Drones has developed a radio-receiver system for drones, which consists of two main components:

 Payload, which includes a radio-receiver and a VHF directional antenna, which can be mounted onto various drones. The receiver processes signal data in real-time and sends it to a base station.
 Base station: The base station receives signal data from the drone payload and maps tracking data in real time, without requiring internet connectivity.
The system allows for tracking of radio-tagged animals by detecting signals from VHF radio-tags, providing location data in real time. It can be used in conjunction with other sensors, such as thermal imaging cameras, to locate and monitor animals in various environments, including challenging terrains.

Applications 
The technology is applied in various wildlife conservation efforts, such as tracking endangered species, studying animal behaviour, and monitoring populations in hard-to-access areas. It has also been used in research on human-wildlife conflicts, and to combat illegal wildlife trade and poaching.
