Kigoma–Butare–Ngozi–Gitega High Voltage Power Line. The Kigoma–Butare–Ngozi–Gitega High Voltage Power Line, also Rwanda–Burundi High Voltage Power Line is a high voltage electricity power line, under construction, connecting the high voltage substation at Kigoma in Rwanda to another high voltage substation at Gitega in Burundi.

Location
The 220 kilovolt power line starts at the Rwanda Energy Group (REG) 220kV substation in the town of Kigoma Rwanda, approximately , by road, southwest of Kigali, the capital and largest city of Rwanda. From here, the power line travels to the southern Rwandan town of Butare (Huye), a road distance of about . From Butare, the power line continues south to the international border with Burundi. It crosses the border and continues to the  town of Ngozi, a road distance of approximately   

From Ngozi, power line travels in a general southerly direction to the city of Gitega, the capital of Burundi, a road distance of approximately , ending at another 220kV substation, this one owned by REGIDESO Burundi. The length of this power line is reported to be  from end to end, with  in Rwanda and  in Burundi.

Overview
This power transmission line connects the electricity grid of Rwanda to that of neighboring Burundi. It is in line with the Nile Equatorial Lakes Subsidiary Action Program, Interconnection of Electric Grids Project, led by Regional Manager, Grania Rubomboras. The power line is being developed to facilitate exchange of electricity between the two neighboring countries and to be ready to buy electricity from other countries in the Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP), who have surplus power to sell. The countries with surplus power in the EAPP include Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda.

Construction in Burundi
Construction in Burundi was launched in August 2020. The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract was awarded to a consortium comprising Transrail Lighting from India and Hanbaek  from South Korea. The Burundi portion of this power transmission line is funded by loans to the government of Burundi, provided by the African Development Bank and the European Union.

Construction in Rwanda
In 2018, it was reported that KfW was going to fund the Rwanda portion of this power line. In 2022, online media reported that the entire line in both countries would be funded by the African Development Bank and the European Union.

Other consideration
The power line is designed in a fashion that allows it to operate at either 110kV or 220kV, if and when the need arises. Work involves the construction of new substations at Kigoma and Gitega, as well as connecting both ends of the transmission power line to control centers in Kigali, Rwanda for the northern end and Bujumbura, Burundi for the southern end.

SWTPC 6800. The SWTPC 6800 Computer System, simply referred to as SWTPC 6800, is an early microcomputer developed by the Southwest Technical Products Corporation and introduced in 1975. It was built around the Motorola 6800 microprocessor, from which it gets its name. The SWTPC 6800 was one of the first microcomputers based around the Motorola 6800.

The SWTPC 6800 is the progenitor of the widely used and broadly supported SS-50 bus. The SWTPC 6800 became one of the most popular 6800-based systems of its time, owing to its ease of use and ample documentation. Though rudimentary, the MIKBUG resident monitor built into ROM allows the immediate entry of program data after power-up, as opposed to other microcomputers of its day which required bootstrapping such software. Southwest Technical Products introduced the SWTPC 6800 in November 1975 for US$450 () in kit form only. Any contemporary ASCII terminal can be used to interface with the SWTPC 6800. SWTPC sold their own television-set-based terminal, for $275; a crude dot-matrix printer was another optional accessory, for $250.

Southwest Technical Products followed up the 6800 with the S/09 in 1979 and the 69/K, 69/A, and 69/56 in 1980. All four replaced the Motorola 6800 processor of the original with its successor the 6809. The SWTPC 6800 can be converted to a S/09 with a system board kit sold by Southwest Technical Products, which is also compatible with existing 6800 peripherals and cards; while the 69/K, 69/A, and 69/56 features a redesigned system board and chassis that is incompatible with the 6800. The 69/K was sold as a kit, while the 69/A and 69/56 came pre-assembled (the latter featuring 56 KB of RAM as opposed to the 69/A's 8 KB).

Deformation index. The deformation index is a parameter that specifies the mode of control under which time-varying deformation or loading processes occur in a solid.  It is useful for evaluating the interaction of elastic stiffness with viscoelastic or fatigue behavior. 

If deformation is maintained constant while load is varied, the process is said to be deformation controlled.  Similarly, if load is held constant while deformation is varied, the process is said to be load controlled.  Between the extremes of deformation and load control, there is a spectrum of intermediate modes of control including energy control.  

For example, between two rubber compounds with the same viscoelastic behavior but different stiffnesses, which compound is preferred for a given application?  In a strain controlled application, the lower stiffness rubber would operate at smaller stress and therefore produce less viscous heating.  But in a stress controlled application, the higher stiffness rubber would operate at small strains thereby producing less viscous heating.  In an energy controlled application, the two compounds might give the same amount of viscous heating.  The right selection for minimizing viscous heating therefore depends on the mode of control.

Definition

Futamura's deformation index  can be defined as follows.   is the parameter whose value is controlled (ie held constant).   is Young's modulus of linear elasticity.   is the strain.   is the stress.  

 

Particular choices of  yield particular modes of control and determine the units of .  For , we get strain control: .  For , we get energy control: .  For , we get stress control: .

History
The parameter was originally proposed by Shingo Futamura, who won the Melvin Mooney Distinguished Technology Award in recognition of this development. Futamura was concerned with predicting how changes in viscoelastic dissipation were affected by changes to compound stiffness. Later, he extended applicability of the approach to simplify finite element calculations of the coupling of thermal and mechanical behavior in a tire. William Mars adapted Futamura's concept for application in fatigue analysis.

Analogy to polytropic process

Given that the deformation index may be written in a similar algebraic form, it may be said that the deformation index is in a certain sense analogous to the polytropic index for a polytropic process.

Protactinium(V) bromide. Protactinium(V) bromide is an inorganic compound. It is a halide of protactinium, consisting of protactinium and bromine. It is radioactive and has a chemical formula of PaBr5, which is a red crystal of the monoclinic crystal system.

Preparation 
Protactinium(V) bromide can be obtained by reacting protactinium(V) chloride with boron tribromide at 500 to 550 °C.

3PaCl5 + 5BBr3 → 3PaBr5 + 5BCl3

It can also be obtained by reacting protactinium(V) oxide with aluminum bromide at 400 °C.

Physical properties 
Protactinium(V) bromide is an orange-red, crystalline, extremely moisture-sensitive solid that reacts violently with water and ammonia, but is persistent in absolutely dry air. It is insoluble in isopentane, dichloromethane and benzene, and in anhydrous acetonitrile is dissolves to form PaBr5•4CH3CN. It comes in several modifications. Below 400 °C as an α-modification and above 400 °C as a β-modification. The α-form has a monoclinic crystal structure of the space group P21/c (No. 14) and lattice parameters a = 1296 pm, b = 1282 pm, c = 992 pm, β = 108° and the β-form also has monoclinic crystal structure with space group P21/n (No. 14, position 2) and lattice parameters a = 838.5 pm, b = 1120.5 pm, c = 895.0 pm, β = 91.1°. The β form exists as a dimer. At 400 °C in a vacuum, protactinium(V) bromide sublimes. A γ-form, which has a β-uranium(V) chloride-type crystal structure, has also been detected.

RB Annis School of Engineering. The R.B. Annis School of Engineering, established in 2017 as a result of a $5 million gift from the R.B. Annis Educational Foundation, is an engineering school within the University of Indianapolis.  The school offers BS degrees in more than a half-dozen disciplines, including computer engineering, electrical engineering, software engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial and systems engineering, computer science, and general engineering. The school currently only offers BS degrees, and so is not included in many college/school rankings, such as U.S. News & World Report, whose list of the best engineering schools only includes programs granting doctoral degrees. As of 2021, the school claims a 98% rate of students either finding jobs or being accepted to graduate school within 6 months of graduation.

Departments

The R.B. Annis School of Engineering is not organized into different departments, choosing instead to have an interdisciplinary focus in its curriculum.

DesignSpine

Relatively few elective courses are offered at the R.B. Annis School of Engineering.  This is the result of a curriculum that relies heavily on interdisciplinary teams of students solving problems given to them by clients.  The purpose of this is to better prepare students for real industry work in engineering where teams of engineers from different fields and backgrounds are common.  Industry clients are assigned to the student teams by the engineering school.  The engineering school has termed this curriculum structure DesignSpine.

History

After its founding in 2017, the school was housed in Martin Hall on the University of Indianapolis campus, but quickly outgrew this space.  In March 2021, renovations were finished on a new engineering building called R.B. Annis Hall.  This new building added 65,000 sq. ft. of space to the University and is the result of a $25 million investment from UIndy.

Rankings

The school currently only offers BS degrees, and so is not included in many college/school rankings, such as U.S. News & World Report, whose list of the best engineering schools only includes programs granting doctoral degrees.
