Admiralty Experiment Works. The Admiralty Experiment Works (AEW)  was the British Admiralty research establishment, responsible for improving propeller design, manoeuvrability and seakeeping in Royal Navy vessels. The Experiment Works existed from 1872 to 1977 and for most of its history was based at the Haslar Gunboat Yard in Gosport, South Hampshire. It ceased independent operations in 1977, merging with the Admiralty Marine Technology Establishment and ultimately with the Defence Research Agency in the Ministry of Defence.

History
The Admiralty Experiment Works (AEW) was founded at Chelston Cross, Torquay, in 1872. It was Admiralty's first research establishment, and was initially structured around experimental work by engineer and naval architect William Froude, concerning methods to accelerate vessel propulsion. The Establishment was administered by the Director of Naval Construction, reporting to the Third Sea Lord in his capacity as Controller of the Navy. By 1886 its focus centered on the model testing of ship's hulls, and a year later was relocated  to what would become its permanent home at the Haslar Gunboat Yard.

At Haslar, research again shifted to focus on predictions of ship power, hydrodynamics, submarine design and later propeller design in relation to ship manoeuvrability and seakeeping. As its work began to expand, new research testing facilities were established between 1930 and 1972 that enabled the works to extend their tests on models in a ship tank covering all classes of battleships, cruisers, destroyers, submarines and miscellaneous vessels. The results of these experiments were then used by Naval Construction Department enabling it to  improve ship design and performance. In 1958 the functions of the Director of Naval Construction became a division of the new Ship Department.

In 1977, AEW became part of the Admiralty Marine Technology Establishment, which itself in 1984 became a department of the unified Admiralty Research Establishment.

Oriang Hydroelectric Power Station. Oriang Hydroelectric Power Station is a proposed  hydroelectric power station in the Northern Region of Uganda.

Location
The power station would be located on the Nile River, downstream of Karuma Hydroelectric Power Station, but upstream of Murchison Falls. This location is in Nwoya District, in the Northern Region of Uganda, close to the location where Oriang Stream enters the Victoria Nile. Oriang is approximately , above sea level.

Overview
In 2009, the government of Uganda commissioned a study, titled Project for Master Plan Study on Hydropower Development in the Republic of Uganda, that was conducted by Electric Power Development Company Limited and Nippon Koei Company Limited, and was funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). In the report of that study, published in 2011, three large hydroelectric power stations were identified for immediate development, in the 2013 to 2023 time-frame, namely Isimba Hydroelectric Power Station, Karuma Hydroelectric Power Station and Ayago Hydroelectric Power Station. Two other stations were identified for development in the medium term, after the first three, namely Oriang Power Station (400 megawatts), and Kiba Power Station (295 megawatts).

Timetable
The development of Oriang Power Station is in progress. In 2013, The EastAfrican newspaper reported that this power station was in the process of being prepared for tendering. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2020, and last approximately five years.

Other considerations
The JICA report outlined a possible phased approach, where the power station is built over a number of years and commissioned in phases, to conserve resources and avoid building over-capacity.

Starlight (interstellar probe). Project Starlight is a research project of the University of California, Santa Barbara to develop a fleet of laser beam-propelled interstellar probes and sending them to a star neighboring the Solar System, potentially Alpha Centauri. The project aims to send organisms on board the probe.

Overview
Starlight aims to accelerate the spacecraft with powerful lasers, a method the project refers to as DEEP-IN (Directed Energy Propulsion for Interstellar Exploration), thus allowing them to reach stars near the Solar System in a matter of years, in contrast to traditional propulsion methods which would require thousands of years. Each spacecraft would be the size of a DVD disc and would be powered by plutonium. They would fly at one-fifth of the speed of light, and in the case of Alpha Centauri, they would arrive after traveling more than twenty years from Earth.

History
Starlight is a program of the Experimental Cosmology Group of University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), and has received funding from NASA. In 2015, the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) selected DEEP-IN as a phase-1 project.

Terrestrial biomes in space

One goal of Starlight is to send terrestrial organisms along with the spacecraft, and observe how the interstellar environment and extreme acceleration affects them. This effort is known as Terrestrial Biomes in Space, and the lead candidate is Caenorhabditis elegans, a minuscule nematode. The organism will spend most of the voyage in a frozen state, and once the spacecraft approaches its target they will be thawed by heat from the onboard plutonium. Following their revival, the organisms will be monitored by various sensors, and the data they produce will be sent back to Earth. C. elegans have been used extensively in biological research as a model organism, as the worm is one of those having the fewest cells for an animal possessing a nervous system. A backup option for C. elegans are tardigrades, micro-animals that are known for their resilience to various conditions lethal to other animals, such as the vacuum environment of space and strong doses of ionizing radiation.

Planetary protection
NASA's funding does not cover the Terrestrial Biome in Space portion of Starlight, as the experiment may potentially contaminate exoplanets.

National Transmission & Despatch Company. National Transmission & Despatch Company (NTDC) is a power transmission company managed by the Ministry of Energy of Pakistan. On 10 November 2024, Federal Energy Minister Awais Leghari said the NTDC was dissolved into three bodies.

History
National Transmission & Despatch Company was separated from Water & Power Development Authority (WAPDA) in 1998 and owns all 220 KV and 500KV grid stations and transmission lines in Pakistan. Its present headquarters are located at WAPDA House, Lahore, Pakistan.

The company operates fourteen 500 KV and forty-three 220 KV grid stations, 5893 km of 500 KV transmission lines, and 10963 km of 220 KV transmission lines in Pakistan.

In 1985, National Power Control Center (NPCC) was established in Islamabad to control 500kV and 220kV transmission system throughout the country which includes eight Regional Control Centers (RCC).

In 2024 the Government of Pakistan announced the splitting of the NPCC from the NTDC, saying it would have its own Board of Directors (BoD).

In November 2024, Dawn and The Express Tribune reported that the Federal Cabinet had approved the dissolution of the NTDC into three entities; the Independent System Market Operator (ISMO), the National Grid Company of Pakistan (NGCP), and the Energy Infrastructure and Development Management Company (EIDMC). Business Recorder reported other proposals that the NTDC would be bifurcated into the National Grid Company Projects (NGC-Projects) and National Grid Company Assets (NGC-Assets). The article also noted that another proposal called for the dissolution of the NTDC into the ISMO, Power Transmission Infrastructure Development Company (PTIDC), and National Transmission Maintenance Company (NTMC). Federal Minister of Energy, Awais Leghari said the process would take three months.

Vinylferrocene. Vinylferrocene is the organometallic compound with the formula (C5H5)Fe(C5H4CH=CH2).  It is a derivative of ferrocene, with a vinyl group attached to one cyclopentadienyl ligand. As the ferrocene analogue of styrene, it is the precursor to some polyferrocenes.  It is an orange, air-stable oily solid that is soluble in nonpolar organic solvents.

Vinylferrocene can be prepared by the dehydration of α-hydroxylethylferrocene, which is obtained from acetylferrocene.  It can also be made by a Wittig reaction of ferrocenecarboxaldehyde.

Kelvin's minimum energy theorem. In fluid mechanics, Kelvin's minimum energy theorem (named after William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin who published it in 1849) states that the steady irrotational motion of an incompressible fluid occupying a simply connected region has less kinetic energy than any other motion with the same normal component of velocity at the boundary (and, if the domain extends to infinity, with zero value values there).

Mathematical Proof

Let  be the velocity field of an incompressible irrotational fluid and  be that of any other incompressible fluid motion with same normal component velocity  at the boundary of the domain, where  is the unit vector of the bounding surface (and, if the domain extends to infinity,  there). Then the difference between the kinetic energy is given by

can be rearranged to give 

Since  is irrotational and the domain is simply-connected, a single-valued velocity potential exists, i.e., . Using this, the second integral in the above equation can be written as

The second integral is identically zero for steady incompressible fluid, i.e., . Applying the Gauss theorem for the first integral we find

where the surface integral is zero since normal component of velocities are equal there. Thus, one concludes

or in other words, , where the equality holds only if , thereby proving the theorem.

AUM-N-4 Diver. The AUM-N-4 Diver, also known as Kingfisher D and AUM-4, was a proposed anti-ship and anti-submarine missile, developed for use by the United States Navy in the late 1940s. It was intended to carry a rocket-propelled torpedo that used a single rocket motor for both airborne and underwater propulsion; due to technical issues encountered in the development of the torpedo, no missiles were built before the program was cancelled.

Design history
As part of Project Kingfisher, a program for the development of air-launched missiles for use in attacking enemy ships and surfaced submarines with torpedoes from stand-off range, development of the "Kingfisher D" missile was proposed in 1946 by the U.S. Navy's Bureau of Ordnance. The Kingfisher D was similar in concept to the Kingfisher C, which became the AUM-N-2 Petrel, but differed in that the torpedo the Kingfisher D carried was intended to have a dual-mode rocket engine, providing propulsion both to the missile in flight and to the torpedo itself underwater, following the release of the torpedo from the missile to allow it to make its terminal run to the target.

Under contract to the National Bureau of Standards, work on Kingfisher D, given the designation AUM-4 in September 1947 and the definitive designation AUM-N-4 in 1948, continued through the late 1940s. The torpedo was defined as a  weapon; however, the difficulties encountered in its development meant that a feasible weapon could not be produced. Without the intended torpedo for it to carry, the Diver missile was no longer required, and the program was cancelled prior to 1950.
