Veronika Rabl. Veronika Ariana Rabl (born 16 December 1945) is a Slovak-American energy expert, a leader in the development of residential demand response modeling, smart buildings, and the integration of renewable energy into transportation and power distribution systems. After working at the Electric Power Research Institute, she is an independent consultant to the energy industry.

Education and career
Rabl was born on 16 December 1945 in Michalovce, now in Slovakia. Her parents survived the Holocaust by hiding in the mountains, but most of the rest of her family were killed, and her father, an engineer, died when she was ten. In the summer of 1968, while studying nuclear engineering at Charles University in Prague, she traveled to Israel to visit a cousin. She became a refugee after the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia ended the Prague Spring during her visit. Despite not having finished her undergraduate degree, she was accepted to a master's program in physics at the Weizmann Institute of Science. After earning her master's degree in 1971, she moved to the University of Bonn with her new husband (a postdoctoral researcher at the Weizmann Institute) and completed a Ph.D. at Ohio State University in 1974.

After postdoctoral research at Syracuse University, Rabl became a researcher at the Argonne National Laboratory, shifting her focus there from physics to power engineering. She worked at the Electric Power Research Institute from 1981 until 2000, becoming its General Manager and Director. She has also chaired the IEEE-USA Energy Policy Committee.

Recognition
Rabl was the 2022 recipient of the John Meredith Professional Service Award of the IEEE. She was named an IEEE Fellow, in the 2024 class of fellows, "for contributions to the design of demand response resources and electrification".

Near (programmer). David Kirk Ginder (February 22, 1983 – June 27, 2021), better known by the pseudonyms Near and Byuu, was a programmer who specialized in emulation of video game console hardware. They developed higan, the first emulator to reach 100% compatibility with the Super Nintendo library. Near also contributed to fan translations and SNES preservation efforts.

Biography 
Near started out in the emulation scene as an amateur programmer, translating Japanese video game ROM images at the age of 14, and one year later developed a tool for displaying resized text font in games. After that, a patching assembler called "xkas" would follow, which streamlined the ROM-translation process. The development of bsnes, later known as higan, was triggered by bugs during translation of Super Famicom game Der Langrisser that would only appear on the original hardware but not on 2004-era Super NES emulators; as such, the aim of bsnes was for accurate emulation.

Near contributed to the translation of the Nintendo RPG Mother 3 and to the improvement of the emulator Snes9x. They also engaged extensively in creating faithful copies of Super NES games for preservation. They also invented the "MSU-1" mapper, which gave the Super NES 4 gigabytes of ROM space and the ability to play CD-quality audio. In 2019, Near retreated from the emulation scene, after "a series of escalating privacy intrusions and targeted Internet harassment" affected their mental health. In February 2021, Near released a new translation for the Super Famicom game Bahamut Lagoon, a passion project that they had attempted multiple times since 1998. This is also the game where Near's former pseudonym of byuu comes from.

Death 
In a Twitter thread posted on June 27, 2021, Near claimed to be the victim of long-term harassment from Kiwi Farms users. Near, who was non-binary, said that they had endured lifelong bullying but that the abuse had recently centralized around Kiwi Farms, which had "made the harassment orders of magnitude worse". Near stated that they and their friends had been doxxed and goaded into suicide by members of the website, and that Near had been mocked for being autistic. On June 28, Hector Martin posted a link to a Google Doc which he said came from a mutual friend of his and Near's, which said that Near had died by suicide, and alleged that the harassment from Kiwi Farms amounted to murder. Martin subsequently reported on June 28 that he had spoken to police who confirmed that Near had died the previous day. USA Today reported on July 23, 2021, that it had confirmed with Near's former employer that they had died.

UJ-25 Skyline. The UJ-25 Skyline is a jet-powered loitering munition in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Design
The UJ-25 is a weaponized version of the Ukrjet UJ-23 Topaz target drone. Both aircraft have missile-like main bodies, forward-swept wings, V-tail configurations, and top-mounted air intakes at the rear of the fuselage feeding into a turbojet engine; the UJ-25 differs outwardly only by having forward canards. Although the Skyline's specifications are not known, the Topaz has a cruise speed of , a top speed of , endurance of 90 minutes, and a mission radius of  with a payload weight of  and is guided either by manual control link or by following a preprogrammed route. As a one-way kamikaze drone, the UJ-25 could have a strike range of around , long enough to reach Moscow. Its jet propulsion makes it harder to counter than piston engine Shahed-136 drones used by Russia, as its faster speed combined with relatively small size and low-observable characteristics reduces the reaction time for air defenses to attempt to intercept it.

History
The UJ-25 was first shown publicly in September 2023 in the background of a CNN interview about drone warfare during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Its first known combat use was on 22 December 2023 when one crashed into the roof of a house and failed to detonate in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Berdyansk in eastern Zaporozhye Oblast.

Aluminium indium antimonide. Aluminium indium antimonide, also known as indium aluminium antimonide or AlInSb (AlxIn1-xSb), is a ternary III-V semiconductor compound. It can be considered as an alloy between aluminium antimonide and indium antimonide. The alloy can contain any ratio between aluminium and indium. AlInSb refers generally to any composition of the alloy.

Preparation 
AlInSb films have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy and metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on gallium arsenide and gallium antimonide substrates. It is typically incorporated into layered heterostructures with other III-V compounds.

Electronic Properties 

The bandgap and lattice constant of AlInSb alloys are between those of pure AlSb (a = 0.614 nm, Eg = 1.62 eV) and InSb (a = 0.648 nm, Eg = 0.17 eV). At an intermediate composition (approximately x = 0.72 – 0.73), the bandgap transitions from an indirect gap, like that of pure AlSb, to a direct gap, like that of pure InSb.

Applications 
AlInSb has been employed as a barrier material and dislocation filter for InSb quantum wells and in InSb-based devices.

AlInSb has been used as the active region of LEDs and photodiodes to generate and detect light at mid-infrared wavelengths. These devices can be optimized for performance around 3.3 μm, a wavelength of interest for methane gas sensing.

Aerospace industry in Puerto Rico. The aerospace industry in Puerto Rico is a growing sector of the island's economy.  It encompasses a wide range of activities, from manufacturing aircraft parts and components to research and development of new technologies. The industry benefits from Puerto Rico's strategic location, workforce, and government incentives.

History 
The aerospace industry in Puerto Rico has its roots in the 1950s, when the U.S. military established bases on the island. These bases attracted major aerospace companies, such as Pratt & Whitney and Honeywell, which set up operations to support military aircraft. 

The Puerto Rico Aerospace and Defense (A+D) industry emerged in the early 1990s with Hamilton Sundstrand's acquisition of an existing manufacturer. Subsequent mergers saw Collins Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney become subsidiaries of Raytheon Technologies. In 2007, the industry took flight with major investments from Honeywell Aerospace and Lockheed Martin, both recruiting local engineering and IT talent. Honeywell grew substantially, building a world-class laboratory in Moca. AXON Puerto Rico (now DXC Technologies) arrived in 2010, employing hundreds. 2014 marked a historic agreement with Lufthansa Technik, establishing the first Americas maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility for the German company, with Avenger Aerospace Solutions providing testing and engineering support. Today, the industry continues to diversify and attract subsectors like research and development, space, and aircraft maintenance, solidifying its role as a strategic and emerging sector for Puerto Rico.

Several industrial parks dedicated to aerospace manufacturing were created, such as the Aguadilla International Airport and the Punta Salinas Industrial Complex.

Current status 
Major aerospace companies with operations in Puerto Rico include:

 Honeywell Aerospace
 Collins Aerospace
 Pratt & Whitney
 L3Harris Technologies
 UTC Aerospace Systems

These companies manufacture a wide range of aircraft parts and components, including engines, landing gear, and avionics. In addition to manufacturing, Puerto Rico is also home to a growing number of research and development facilities. These facilities are working on cutting-edge technologies, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and satellite systems.

There are currently proposals to create a spaceport at the Ceiba airport.

Challenges and opportunities 
The Puerto Rican aerospace industry faces a number of challenges, including competition from other countries with lower labor costs. However, the industry also has a number of advantages, such as its proximity to the U.S. market, its skilled workforce, and its government incentives. The Puerto Rican government is supporting the growth of the aerospace industry, and it has implemented a number of programs to attract investment and create jobs.
