Professor of Engineering (Cambridge). The Professorships of Engineering are several established and personal professorships at the University of Cambridge.

The senior professorship in the university's Department of Engineering was founded in 1875 as the Professorship of Mechanism and Applied Mechanics, renamed to the Professorship of Mechanical Sciences in 1934, and then to Professorship of Engineering in 1966.

Also 1966, the university established three further permanent Professorships of Engineering. However, in 2001 one of these 1966 chairs was suppressed in order to fund the establishment of the Prince Philip Professorship of Technology to mark the 80th birthday of the university's then-Chancellor. In 2011, another of the 1966 chairs was renamed the Sir Kirby Laing Professorship of Civil Engineering.

In 1974, the university established another Professorship of Engineering on a permanent basis, replacing a single-tenure professorship vacated in the same year. The 1974 professorship was itself replaced by a professorship established in 2012, with the additional creation intended to afford a brief period of overlap between the 1974 and 2012 professors.

The university has also established Professorships of Engineering limited to a single tenure (i.e. personal chairs) for various specific individuals.

IAIO Mobin. The Mobin ( or 'determination') is an Iranian multi-purpose ground-launched unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV was first displayed on 27 August 2019 at the MAKS air show held at Zhukovsky International Airport, Russia. The Mobin is the first UAV of its kind in the world, designed to penetrate enemy defenses and get past incoming missiles. The UAV entered service in Iran in 2018 and had been cleared for export.

Capabilities 
The Mobin can function as both an attack and reconnaissance drone and is equipped with radar-evading stealth properties. The UAV has a 3 m wingspan and a low radar cross section of less than 0.1 m2. It has an exclusive compartment at the nose section of the body which allows the installation of various warheads weighing up to , the payload compartment of the missile has a volume of 116 liters. It has a fuel-management system for short, medium and long ranges. It has a range of , weighs , and can fly at altitudes between  and  for 45 minutes. The maximum speed which the drone can reach is .

The navigation system employed by the Mobin is both the TERCOM and DSMAC systems. The guidance of the drone works in three axis with fully automated take off and landing. DSMAC systems are often combined with TERCOM as a terminal guidance system. A TERCOM system considerably increases the accuracy of the guidance compared with inertial navigation systems (INS). The increased accuracy allows a TERCOM-equipped system to fly closer to obstacles and generally at lower altitudes, making it harder to detect by ground radar. 

The Mobin employs the "Toloo-4" turbojet engine. The engine is a single shaft turbojet engine which consists of 3 stage axial compressor, direct annular combustion chamber and 1 stage axial turbine. It weighs 55.9 kg with a diameter of 330mm and length of 1130mm-1330mm. The engine thrust is rated at 345daN with an engine speed of 28500RPM. Its hydro-pneumatic life is rated at 20 hours.

REV Ocean. REV Ocean is a privately funded research and expedition vessel (REV) under construction by VARD shipyards.

Some sources describe her as a yacht, but unlike a yacht, her main purpose is not recreation or sports.  She is  in length and her gross tonnage is 17,440.

Design and construction  
REV Ocean was designed by Espen Øino with an interior by H2 Yacht Design. It was initially intended to be a 140 m superyacht with some research facilities, but during the design process she grew in size and was turned into a research and expedition vessel with a yacht-like exterior and high standards of comfort and design, including a luxury accommodation.

Contracts for construction and outfitting were signed in 2017, with an expected delivery in 2021. On June 17, 2021 it was announced that delivery was moved back to 2024.

The hull was built and equipped with the diesel-electric propulsion system in Tulcea, Romania, and initially launched on 24 August 2019. She was then towed to Brattvåg, Norway to be fitted out with more technology. However, the ship was moved to Fosen Yard near Trondheim and fitted with a 12 metre midsection for a final length of 195 m.

Final interior outfit is planned to happen at Lloyd Werft, Bremerhaven, Germany.

Owner and operation
REV Ocean is the flagship of Norwegian billionaire businessman Kjell Inge Røkke's REV Ocean initiative. In an interview with the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten (published 1 May 2017) Røkke said he planned to give away most of his fortune. As a further step in this plan he joined the Giving Pledge in 2017, and founded the REV Ocean initiative.

Led by former WWF Norway CEO Nina Jensen, REV Ocean is working to improve understanding of the ocean and foster concrete solutions through three initiatives: the world's largest research and expedition vessel (REV), the World Ocean Headquarters and an open, global data platform.

She is purpose-built for scientific charter and environmental research missions.

Her TIER III hybrid propulsion allows a full-electric mode at eleven knots when the yacht collects samples. Her total operating range is 21,000 nautical miles.

Cybernetics—in the Service of Communism. Cybernetics—in the Service of Communism was the title of a symposium and accompanying publication sponsored by Aksel Berg, a prominent promoter of cybernetics in the Soviet Union. He provided an eponymous introduction noted for its length and programmatic nature. The symposium was held in 1961, prior to the 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, where cybernetics was declared one of the "major tools of the creation of a communist society".

The response from the USA
An American organizational theorist, Donald G. Malcolm, remarked: “If any country were to achieve a completely integrated and controlled economy in which ‘cybernetic’ principles were applied to achieve various goals, the Soviet Union would be ahead of the United States in reaching such a state”. He also suggested that cybernetics “may be one of the weapons Khrushchev had in mind when he threatened to ‘bury’ the West”. As a result of such concerns the Central Intelligence Agency established a special unit to study the Soviet cybernetics.

Arcadia Education Centre. The Arcadia Education Centre (School) is located in South Kanarchor, Bangladesh on the bank of the Dhaleshwari River.  The modular, amphibious structure adapts to seasonal flooding using an innovative design based on traditional building techniques and incorporating local materials. The facility contains a preschool, hostel, nursery, and vocational training centre.

Amphibious architecture 
The Maleka Welfare Trust purchased a patch of land so they could relocate one of their preschools and add additional social facilities. The land is flooded five months of the year and its topography is incompatible with conventional solutions to this challenge.

Architect Saif Ul Haque Sthapati of Dhaka, Bangladesh designed a buoyant platform that floats tethered during the rainy season and settles back to the ground during the dry season, allowing the facility to remain operational year-round. In addition to this cost-effective solution to flooding, the building is made of inexpensive materials including several local bamboo varieties and upcycled materials such as steel drums and car tires. The building materials and techniques are based on traditional house construction techniques used in the area. This amphibious structure that rises with water levels could be the potential solution to rising sea levels because of climate change.

The structure is open to nature, allowing students to benefit from natural light while learning from their surroundings.

Maleka Welfare Trust 
The Maleka Welfare Trust is a private social welfare organization. Their programs include preschools, a vocational training centre, a nursery, and a hostel for single women.

The Aga Khan Award for Architecture announced the Maleka Welfare Trust's Arcadia Education Project as one of the 2019 Award winners for its thoughtful response to flooding using local materials and traditional building techniques. Razia Alam was presented the Aga Khan Award for Architecture by His Highness the Aga Khan and Mintimer Shaimiev, State Counselor of the Republic of Tatarstan on September 13, 2019. 

Bangladesh is consistently ranked among the countries most at risk from climate change. Each year, massive rainfall causes loss of life and displacement of people. Affordable and locally sustainable architectural models like the Arcadia facility improves the everyday lives of Bangladeshis and other affected populations.

List of Starship upper stage flight tests. SpaceX conducted eleven flight tests of prototype rockets for the Starship development program from 2019 to 2021. These tests only included prototypes of the ship, or upper stage, rather than the full two-stage Starship launch vehicle. The scope of these tests ranged from short static fires, or tethered engine firings, to launches to approximately 10 km with landing attempts.

SpaceX began testing with the test article Starhopper in 2019, including two short hops with the article tethered to the ground. Starhopper and two early ship prototypes, SN5 and SN6, then completed untethered flights. Five ships, beginning with SN8, performed flights to approximately 12.5 km (SN8 only) or 10 km. On descent, the ships flipped into a "belly flop" maneuver, falling in the horizontal position with aerodynamic control from the four body flaps. This was to simulate the descent after atmospheric reentry on an orbital mission. After falling to an altitude of about 500 m, the engines relit and flipped the ships vertical for landing on a concrete pad, with varying degrees of success.

Cloud-native computing. Cloud native computing is an approach in software development that utilizes cloud computing to "build and run scalable applications in modern, dynamic environments such as public, private, and hybrid clouds". These technologies, such as containers, microservices, serverless functions, cloud native processors and immutable infrastructure, deployed via declarative code are common elements of this architectural style. Cloud native technologies focus on minimizing users' operational burden.

Cloud native techniques "enable loosely coupled systems that are resilient, manageable, and observable. Combined with robust automation, they allow engineers to make high-impact changes frequently and predictably with minimal toil." This independence contributes to the overall resilience of the system, as issues in one area do not necessarily cripple the entire application. Additionally, such systems are easier to manage, and monitor, given their modular nature, which simplifies tracking performance and identifying issues.

Frequently, cloud-native applications are built as a set of microservices that run in Open Container Initiative compliant containers, such as Containerd, and may be orchestrated in Kubernetes and managed and deployed using DevOps and Git CI workflows (although there is a large amount of competing open source that supports cloud-native development). The advantage of using containers is the ability to package all software needed to execute into one executable package. The container runs in a virtualized environment, which isolates the contained application from its environment.
