Hydroelectricity in Ukraine. Hydropower is part of renewable energy in Ukraine. Ukraine is trying to build more small hydroelectric plants as sources of electricity in Ukraine. State operating company is Ukrhydroenergo. About half of hydro capacity of power stations in Ukraine has been destroyed by the war, including the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant. Defence against drones is important.

General characteristics 

The main cascades of hydroelectric power stations are the Dnipro cascade and the Dniester cascade. Ukrhydroenergo is seeking more finance for the Kaniv Pumped Storage Power Station.

Development plans 
The draft action plan for the implementation of the Energy Strategy of Ukraine for the period until 2050, published on the website of the Ministry of Energy on December 11, 2024, plans to study the possibility of building new hydroelectric power plants and PSPPs:
 Upper Dniester HPP cascade (79.2 MW);
 HPP cascade on the Ukrainian section of the Tysa River (220 MW);
 HPP cascade on the lower section of the Teresva River in the Transcarpathian region (24 MW);
 HPP cascade on the border section of the Tysa River with Romania;
 Transcarpathian PSP (1200 MW);
 channel HPPs on the Shopurka River in the Transcarpathian region (0.5 MW);
 Zaporizhzhia PSP based on a granite quarry;
 PSP in the quarries of the Poltava Mining and Processing Plant.

In 2025, Ukrhydroenergo plans to begin construction of the first hydroelectric power plant in Cherkasy Oblast with protection based on the example of South Korea. Kanivska PSPP will have a capacity of 1,000 MW and cost $1.5–2 billion.

Hydrogenated polydec-1-ene. Hydrogenated poly-1-decene is a colourless glazing agent. It is "a mixture of isoparaffinic molecules of known structure, prepared by hydrogenation of mixtures of tri-, tetra- penta- and hexa-1-decenes". It was reviewed in 2001 by the Scientific Committee on Food of the DG Health. It was "proposed as a substitute for white mineral oil. The food additive applications include those of glazing agent for confectionery and dried fruit, and processing aid uses as a lubricant and release agent, especially in bread baking using tins. It has been permitted for use in Finland, and a “Case of Need” has been accepted in the United
Kingdom." The substance is a mix of inert saturated hydrocarbons, which are not easily metabolised.

Polyethylene wax. Polyethylene wax can be used as a dispersant, slip agent, resin additive, and mold release agent. As an oxidised product, OPEW is authorized in the EU as E number reference E914 only for the surface treatment of some fruits.

There are a variety of methods for producing Polyethylene wax. Polyethylene wax can be made by direct polymerization of ethylene under special conditions that control molecular weight and chain branching of the final polymer. Another method involves thermal and/or mechanical decomposition of high molecular weight polyethylene resin to create lower molecular weight fractions. A third method involves separation of the low molecular weight fraction from a production stream of high molecular weight polymer. These last two methods produce very low molecular weight fractions that should be removed to avoid a product with low flash point that can result in flammability, migration, equipment build up, fouling and other safety and processing issues. Volatiles in these un refined waxes can also account for significant yield loss during processing

Polyethylene wax may be used as lubricant additive to the PVC pipes.

Windisch–Kolbach unit. °WK or degrees Windisch-Kolbach is a unit for measuring the diastatic power of malt, named after the German brewer Wilhelm Windisch and the Luxembourg brewer Paul Kolbach. It is a common unit in beer brewing (especially in Europe) that measures the ability of enzymes in malt to reduce starch to sugar (maltose). It is defined as the amount of maltose formed by 100 g of malt in 30 min at 20 °C. Degrees Lintner is a unit used in the United States for the same purpose. The conversion is as follows:

.

334 °WK = 3.014×10−7 Katal

Tasmanian Airways. Tasmanian Airways Pty. Ltd. was a Hobart, Tasmania-based company registered on 10 December 1926 with the intention of operating aerial services between Tasmania and Victoria.

History
Its main proprietor was F. F. De Mey, who was also the proprietor of Tasmanian Motor Service Co. Pty. Ltd. and President of the Commercial Motor Users Association of Tasmania. Two years later, it proposed opening a Bass Strait service using a three-engine floatplane (possibly an Avro 618 Ten). However, it failed to attract sufficient capital. In 1929, it chartered a De Havilland Gipsy Moth for a promotional flight from Adelaide to Brisbane. Early in 1934, it acquired a De Havilland Hawk Moth VH-UNW from the Hart Aircraft Service renaming it City of Hobart. Initially used for joy flights out of Brighton, Tasmania, the aircraft began operating a regular passenger service between Brighton and Launceston, Tasmania in August 1934, connecting with Tasmanian Aerial Service's Launceston-Bass Strait Islands-Melbourne services. These services ceased on 10 January 1935, after a piston-rod failure damaged City of Hobart 's engine beyond repair and resulted in a forced landing at Brighton. The engineless aircraft was sold in mid-1936, and the company was later liquidated.

Cape (software company). Cape is a California-based company that has developed a cloud-based software for Aerial Telepresence of drones. It is the first platform for full commercial drone telepresence and the first company in the U.S. to be awarded Section 333 and Part 107 waivers by the FAA. The company was founded in 2014 and operates in the US, Canada, New Zealand,  Middle East, Mexico, and Australia. By May 2018, it had performed more than 100,000 successful drone flights. Chris Rittler serves as a CEO of the company and Kabe Termes is the director of operations.

Business model 
Cape is a software that works on a cloud-based system and allows the complete control of connectivity and management of commercial drones offsite over the web. The platform allows the users to fly and control the drones safely with ultra-low latency and high-resolution video. It automates the process for users and can be accessed from mobile devices such as laptops and smartphone applications.

The application of the software extends to users from the government, military and enterprise sectors. They have also received investment from Telstra Ventures, Google's Gradient Ventures, Mitsui & Co. and NEA.

In 2017, Cape started working with the Chula Vista Police Department to test the application of their software for the Drone program. In August 2018, after the success of tests, Chula Vista Police Department started officially implementing the software.

In October 2017, the Ensenada Police Department in Mexico implemented the software to their drone program to help minimize crime rates. Crime rates were reduced by more than 10 percent after drones equipped with the Cape Aerial Telepresence platform.

In August 2018, the San Diego Fire Department's first UAS Integration Pilot Program (IPP) demonstration took place after completing a public UAS deployment with Cape drones.

Hart Aircraft Service. Hart Aircraft Service Pty. Ltd. was an Australian aviation company registered at Melbourne in mid-1929 with directors James Hart, John Hider and Norman Charles Trescowthick. Director James Hart (c1891-1951) was a former Royal Flying Corp aviator who had flown as gunner for Hereward de Havilland. Norman Trescowthick had served with distinction in the Australian Flying Corps' famous 4th Squadron with Arthur H. Cobby during the First World War.

History
Although intended as an aircraft manufacturing and repair business based at Essendon Airport, by late 1929 it owned a De Havilland Gipsy Moth VH-UKV Diana that it used for charter flights. It serviced the aircraft of the first Australian National Airways (ANA) when it began regular flights to Melbourne in 1930. The company became Australian agents for Desoutter aircraft, and one of these machines was used in the unsuccessful searches for ANA's missing Avro 618 Ten Southern Cloud over several months in 1931.

In April 1933 the company began a regular passenger service between Melbourne and Launceston, Tasmania (sometimes via Flinders Island) using the Avro 618 Ten VH-UMG Tasman, formerly ANA's Southern Star. It was later authorised to carry airmails on this service. However, following its failure to be awarded a contract for this leg of the Empire Air Mail Scheme early in 1934, it withdrew from the Tasmanian service in March of that year.

Hart Aircraft Service continued its aviation servicing business at Essendon Airport until 1938 when it sold its operations to Victorian & Interstate Airways.
