Project Kusha. Project Kusha is a programme under the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), for developing the Extended Range Air Defence System (ERADS), also referred to as XRSAM or PGLRSAM. The goal is to design a transportable, long-range surface-to-air missile system. The missile system will consist of at least three types of interceptors and is expected to be deployed by the Indian Air Force and Indian Navy by 2028–2029. 

It will supplement the Indo-Israeli Barak 8, Russian S-400 and Indian Ballistic Missile Defence System in the Indian armed forces.

Development

The missile system might used to bridge the gap between the MR-SAM (80 km) and S-400 (400 km). It is being developed as an area-defence system. The Indian Air Force (IAF) will be the lead agency for this air defence system.

The project was cleared for development by the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) in May 2022, and was granted Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in September 2023 for procuring five of its squadrons for the IAF for .

The naval version of the missile might be also developed to supplement the LR-SAM missile in the Indian Navy.

As of August 2024, DRDO is about to start the fabrication process of 5 M1 missiles (range of 150 km). DRDO has also placed order for 20 sets of airframes, 20 sets of rocket motors, 50 sets of kill vehicles (warhead), onboard & ground transceivers for telemetry. The missiles are expected to begin testing in early 2025.

Design 
The missile system includes at least three types of interceptor missiles. The missiles will have ranges of 150 km, 250 km and 350 km. This system will also feature advanced long-range surveillance and fire control radars. The air defence system will be capable of detecting and destroying enemy assets like cruise missiles, stealth fighter jets, and drones at around 250 km range and larger aircraft like airborne early warning and control (AEW&CS) at a range of 350 km. The missiles may also possess short or medium range BMD capabilities. It will have a single-shot kill probability more than 80% and not less than 90% probability in salvo launch mode.

The missile batteries will be able to “interact” with the IAF’s integrated air command and control system (IACCS). It is a fully-automated air defence network operated by Indian Air Force which will be built to combine numerous military and civilian radars with each other in Indian airspace to make the Air Defence system more efficient and reliable.

According to a report, the naval variant exceeding 250 km-range missile will be capable of intercepting anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) with a speed of Mach 7.

Richard Victor Jones. Richard Victor Jones (1929 – November 11, 2019) was a professor of applied physics at Harvard University and a pioneer in semiconductors. He was one of the first four recruits by William Shockley to help develop technologies at Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory.

Early life
Jones was a first-generation child of Welsh immigrants. He attended university at Berkeley, where he performed his thesis research on magnetic resonance under Carson D. Jeffries.

Career
During the winter of 1954–1955, William Shockley decided to seek a sponsor to help him establish production of complex transistors and his own Shockley diodes. He was initially supported by Raytheon, but the agreement was soon canceled by that company. After Shockley subsequently established Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory under the umbrella of Beckman Instruments, he recruited William W. Happ who he knew from Raytheon. Shockley's other three initial recruits were George Smoot Horsley and Leopoldo B. Valdes both of whom he knew from Bell Labs, and Jones, who was then a new Berkeley graduate.

Jones remained with Shockley for two years until 1957 when he left to teach physics at Harvard. From 1964 to 1982, he was the Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Physics and in 1982 he was named Robert L. Wallace Professor. Much of his teaching and research at Harvard was focused on physics information technology, including acoustical and optical signals used to process and obtain information (applied to fields such as seismic exploration, optical computing, medical ultrasonics and acoustic microscopy) wave phenomena and digital electronics. In 1960, he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship.

No. 402 Wing RAAF. No. 402 Wing was a Royal Australian Air Force wing. Formed in July 1996, it maintained and provided technical support for Tactical Fighter Group's aircraft. The wing was disbanded in October 1998, with most of its functions being transferred to No. 81 Wing.

History

No. 402 Wing was formed from No. 481 Wing on 1 July 1996. It was responsible for maintaining and providing technical support for the aircraft operated by the RAAF's Tactical Fighter Group. These mainly comprised the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornets operated by No. 81 Wing. The wing's establishment was the result of a review conducted to determine the best way of maintaining the Hornets. These tasks had previously been undertaken by No. 481 Wing, and No. 402 Wing replaced it.

The wing was made up of a headquarters, No. 481 Squadron, Weapons System Support Flight and Field Training Flight. No. 481 Squadron was established at the same time as No. 402 Wing was formed, and included the maintenance elements that hat previously been organised into two squadrons in No. 481 Wing. No. 402 Wing was mainly located at RAAF Base Williamtown.

No. 402 Wing as disbanded as a result of a decision by the Chief of Air Force that the RAAF's flying squadrons should undertake aircraft maintenance. The wing transferred most of its functions to No. 81 Wing and ceased operations on 31 July 1998. It and No. 481 Squadron were formally disbanded on 30 October 1998.  Weapons System Support Flight and Field Training Flight were retained, with the former becoming part of the Tactical Fighter Group and the later reporting to No. 81 Wing's headquarters.

Tamale Interchange. 

Background 
The Tamale Interchange is a road interchange project within the Tamale Metropolis of the Northern Region of Ghana. The first of its kind in the northern sector of the country.

Its construction was initiated on April 10, 2019 when the president of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo, launched and also cut the sod for its construction to begin.
The interchange is aimed at enhancing inter-urban and national traffic flow and reducing the huge burden and cost of doing business, and also strengthening trade within the Sub Saharan regions.

Structure 
The structure is a pre-stressed concrete bridge spanning a distance of some 1.1 kilometers The Interchange was a continuous concrete bridge with a total length of 1072 meters including the ramp. This set it apart from other simply supported bridges of the past, which had several expansion joints and made driving less comfortable for drivers

Funding 
This project was funded under the US$2 billion China Syno-hydro deal. The Government of Ghana signed a Master Project Support Agreement (MPSA) for the delivery worth of priority infrastructure projects across the country, in exchange for the delivery of Ghanaian manufactured aluminium products to Sinohydro.

Controversies 
The opposition National Democratic Congress's Hannah Louisa Bissiw, National Women's Organizer, has noted that Tamale residents do not require an interchange, despite the fact that heavy traffic is clogging the city. The former lawmaker feels that since the Tamale interchange is not a pressing requirement for the public, it is unnecessary to continue building it as part of the Synohydro agreement. She claimed that people are inconvenienced by excessive vehicular traffic in the city center caused by road obstructions with aluminum zincs

Rubidium sesquioxide. Rubidium sesquioxide is a chemical compound with the formula  or more accurately . In terms of oxidation states, Rubidium in this compound has a nominal charge of +1, and the oxygen is a mixed peroxide () and superoxide () for a structural formula of . It has been studied theoretically as an example of a strongly correlated material.

The compound was predicted to be a rare example of a ferromagnetic compound that is magnetic due to a p-block element, and a half-metal that was conducting in the minority spin band. However, while the material does have exotic magnetic behavior, experimental results instead showed an electrically insulating magnetically frustrated system.  also displays a Verwey transition where charge ordering appears at 290 K.

Rubidium sesquioxide can be prepared by reacting the peroxide  and the superoxide :

It is initially discovered in 1907, and more thoroughly characterized in 1939. The compound crystallizes in a body-centered cubic form with the same crystal structure as  and .

Dennis Rapier. The Dennis Rapier is a purpose-built fire engine produced by Dennis Specialist Vehicles of Guildford, Surrey, England from 1991 to the early 2000s.

Features
 
Regular production of the Rapier began in 1991, following a demonstrator unit being shown around different fire brigades in the United Kingdom a year prior. The first Rapiers maintained some design elements of the RS/SS series they replaced, although featuring a redesigned front grille and rectangular headlights.

The Rapier would receive a facelift in 1993, designed by Capoco Design.
The facelift would be mainly focused on the cab, giving it a modern and streamlined appearance and also allowing the cab to tilt to a total of 42 degrees. This facelift redesign would see Dennis and Capoco win a British Design Award in 1994.

As standard, the Rapier is powered by a Cummins C260-21 turbocharged six-cylinder engine and has an Allison MCDR five-speed automatic transmission. The Rapier's suspension uses "race car technology" such as a double-wishbone and coil springs with telescopic dampers, and the gearing allows a governed top speed of .

While the Rapier proved very popular with some brigades, others found it to be prohibitively expensive and limited in its equipment load capacity. The Dennis Sabre would be launched in 1995 as a low-cost alternative with increased load capacity, which would ultimately succeed the Rapier and eventually be the last full-size fire engine produced by Dennis Specialist Vehicles. Production of the Dennis Rapier would eventually cease in the early 2000s due to low sales and a parts shortage as a result of the discontinuation of the Renault Midliner, which sourced the Rapier's front suspension and brakes.

Operators
The Humberside Fire Brigade were a major customer for the Dennis Rapier in the United Kingdom, with the brigade standardising on the appliance throughout its production into the late 1990s. Other operators of the Rapier in the United Kingdom included fire brigades in Merseyside, who took on a handful of pre-facelift examples, West Sussex, Kent, Shropshire and Nottinghamshire.

Dennis Rapiers were also built for fire brigades in Belgium, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.

Two Dennis Rapiers were delivered to Frankfurt and Erfurt, Germany in 2000 to evaluate whether the Rapier could function as a standard rescue pumper. The Rapier was met with a mixed reception by Frankfurt's fire crews in particular, and following a brief trial period, no further orders of the Rapier followed.

One Dennis Rapier was delivered to Hong Kong.

DOMELRE. DOMELRE (an acronym of Domestic Electric Refrigerator) was one of the first domestic electrical refrigerators, invented by Frederick William Wolf Jr. (1879–1954) in 1913 and produced starting in 1914 by Wolf's Mechanical Refrigerator Company in Chicago. Several hundred units were sold, which made it the most commercially successful product out of several competing designs of its time. The unit replaced the block of ice in the icebox with an electrical-powered cooling device, and was completely automatic.

Often labelled as the "first electrical refrigerator" or similar, It has been described as "revolutionary" in the history of domestic refrigeration.

History 
DOLMERE was invented by Frederick William Wolf Jr. (American engineer also known as Fred W. Wolf Jr., 1879-1954), a charter member of the American Society of Refrigerating Engineers, in 1913. An estimated several hundred to thousands of units were produced starting in 1914 by his Mechanical Refrigerator Company in Chicago. Fred Heideman was also involved in the unit's design. In 1916 Wolf sold the rights to the invention to Henry Joy, president of Packard Motor Car Company in Detroit, which released an upgraded version under the name ISKO. Having sold about a thousand more models, Joy's company nonetheless went bankrupt in 1922.

Commercially, DOMELRE was described as "a quick hit". The unit was considered relatively inexpensive for its time. The original model was sold for $900 ($24,450 in 2021 dollars); the 1916 model was priced at $385 in 1916 ($9,600 in 2021 dollars), later dropping to $275 ($6,850 in 2021 dollars).  525 were sold.

Significance 
DOMELRE has been described as "revolutionary" in the history of domestic refrigeration. It has been described as the "first domestic refrigerator", the "first household refrigerator", the "first electrical refrigerator", the "first successful, mass marketed package automatic electric refrigeration unit", "the first plug-in refrigeration unit", "the first mass-produced small refrigeration system", "the first electric household refrigerator to survive its infancy" or just as "the domestic electric refrigerator".

According to ASHRAE, DOMELRE contained a number of innovations not found in prior domestic refrigerators, such as offering automatic temperature control by thermostat, an air cooled condenser that did not require water, and not the least, it also introduced a freezing tray for ice cubes.

A 2005 assessment of the history of the ice delivery business in the New York Times concluded that the technology that DOMELRE pioneered gradually led to the end of that business in New York by 1950.
