Janos Sztipanovits. Janos Sztipanovits is an electrical engineer and computer scientist. He is the E. Bronson Ingram Distinguished Professor of Engineering at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Vanderbilt University. He is the founding director of the Institute for Software Integrated Systems at Vanderbilt.

Research
Sztipanovits led the research group that created a novel area in computer engineering called Model Integrated Computing (MIC) in the 1990s well before other model-based approaches appeared in computer science. MIC applies metamodeling to define domain-specific modeling languages and to automatically configure the corresponding domain-specific visual modeling environment. The domain models then are used to automatically generate and/or configure the software of the modeled system. MIC and its primary software tool called Generic Modeling Environment (GME, a kind of MetaCASE tool) have been successfully applied to embedded software, car manufacturing and medical systems, among many other areas.

Sztipanovits was one of the key promoters of a new research direction called Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), which integrates physical systems with computational ("cyber") systems to provide novel capabilities. He is the Principal Investigator of a National Science Foundation initiative to create a web portal called CPS Virtual Organization (CPS VO) with the goal of facilitating interaction and information exchange among CPS researchers in academia, government and industry across a broad range of institutions, programs, disciplines and even countries.

Awards
Before moving to the United States in 1983, Sztipanovits received a number of prestigious awards in Hungary, including the National Prize in 1985 and the Golden Ring of the Republic in 1982 for scientific and engineering achievements.

He received the Medal for Exceptional Public Service from the Office of the Secretary for Defense in 2002 and the Air Force Meritorious Civilian Service Award Medal and a Citation in 2010. He has been an external member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences since 2010. Sztipanovits is a Fellow of the IEEE.

In 2018, he became an honorary John von Neumann Professor at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics.

Tactoid. Tactoids are liquid crystal microdomains nucleated in isotropic phases, which can be distinguished as spherical or spindle-shaped birefringent microdroplets under polarized light microscopy. Tactoids are a transition state between isotropic and macroscopic liquid crystalline phases. The first observation of tactoids was made by Zocher in 1925, when he studied the nematic phase formed in vanadium pentoxide sols. After that, tactoids have been found in the phase transition processes in many lyotropic liquid crystalline substances, such as tobacco mosaic virus, polypeptides, and cellulose nanocrystals.

In biology 
It has been shown that filamin causes actin to condense into tactoids.  The filamentous phage  Pf4 generates a tactoid shell around host P. aeruginosa cells that confer antibiotic resistance.

Imperial School of Military Engineering. The Imperial School of Military Engineering ( ; ) was an Ottoman military engineering academy in Hasköy, Constantinople. It was opened in 1795 during the reign of Selim III and continued functioning until 1928, until the opening of the High Engineering School ().

It was formed as an important institution in the Nizam-ı Cedid reforms and was formed with the expansion of the Imperial Naval Engineering School (Mühendishâne-i Bahrî-i Hümâyun), which had been the first modern engineering school of the Ottoman Empire and the only one to precede the Imperial School of Military Engineering. The location was chosen its Hasköy due to its remoteness at the time to prevent students, along with humbaracıs and lağımcıs that were to be located adjacent to the school from coming into contact with the Janissaries in Constantinople. The construction work began on 14 July 1793 and ended in September 1795. The initial policy had been not to include any foreigners in the staff, which led to the four scholars, Hüseyin Rıfkı Tamani, İbrâhim Kâmi, Hâfız Seyyid İbrâhim Edhem and Elhac Hâfız Abdullah be the only ones to teach at the institution under Abdurrahman Efendi, a scholar of geometry and algebra until 1801, when a scholar of English origin was employed. Later, under head instructor (Başhoca) Ishak Efendi, who was an 1815 graduate of the school and had been appointed the deputy principal of the then-principal Hüseyin Rıfkı Tamani in 1816, and who oversaw the school between 1830 until his death in 1836, the school saw great improvement and an attempt to apply the curriculum of French schools of engineering.

Despite its being a military school, civilians were also allowed to enroll. Selim III worked to provide all necessary facilities to the school, including the import of equipment from Europe and the establishment of a printing press. The school consisted of four years. In the first year, the students studied calligraphy, spelling, painting, Arabic, French, numbers and an introduction to geometry. In the second year, they studied arithmetic, advanced geometry, Arabic, French and  geography. In the third year, they studied geography, planar trigonometry, algebra, surveying and military history. In the fourth year, they studied cross-sections of cones, differentiation, integration, mechanics, ballistics, astronomy, fortifications and shooting practice. The fourth year curriculum required knowledge of advanced mathematics. Mining as a part of the military (lağımcılık), map drawing and artillery were among other areas studied.

Harp Okulları, itself a successor of the High Engineering School, is a direct successor of the Mühendishâne-i Berrî-i Hümâyun.

Swan 57 RS. The Swan 57 RS (Raised Salon) is a Finnish sailboat that was designed by Germán Frers as a cruiser and first built in 1996.

The design is sometimes confused with the unrelated 1977 Sparkman & Stephens Swan 57 or the 1990 Swan 57CC Frers designs.

Production
The design was built by Oy Nautor AB in Finland, from 1996 until 2001, with ten boats completed, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Swan 57 RS is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig with three sets of spreaders, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional stub keel and centreboard. It has a raised salon coach house to provide additional light and headroom below decks. It displaces  and carries  of ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard fin keel.

The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines diesel engine of  for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds  and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .

The design was built with several different interior layouts. Typical is one that has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a forward cabin with two bunk beds, a U-shaped settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a central double island berth. The galley is located on the starboard side abeam the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a four-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. A navigation station is forward of the galley, on the starboard side. There are two heads, one amidships on the starboard side and one on the port side in the aft cabin.

The design has a hull speed of  and a PHRF handicap of 42 to 45.

Operational history
In a 2000 boats.com design review, naval architect Robert Perry wrote, "this new 57-footer from Nautor began life as a German Frers 55-footer. I think it is pretty clear, looking at the drawings, that the stern was pulled out. Still, the elegance is there, and the sheer has not suffered with the extended stern. Oftentimes the entire balance of the sheerline is thrown off when the stern is extended. We would have to look long and hard to find an ugly Swan, but the new Swan 57RS does break from the accepted Swan wedge-type deck."

Gheorghe Balș. Gheorghe Balș (April 24, 1868 – September 22, 1934) was a Romanian engineer, architect and art historian.

Born in Adjud, Vrancea County, his parents Alecu Balș (1838-1894) and Roxanda Sturdza (d. 1878) were descended from prominent Moldavian boyar families. He studied in Lausanne, where he completed high school, and at the Zürich Polytechnic, where he earned an engineer's diploma. In 1891, after returning home, he was hired at the bridge inspection service of Căile Ferate Române state railway carrier. He worked with Anghel Saligny and possibly Louis Blanc on the King Carol I Bridge in Cernavodă and on the lighthouse in Tuzla. He worked on the Port of Constanța together with George Duca.

From 1908 to 1911, he worked in the technical service of the Interior Ministry's public health division. He collaborated closely with his brother-in-law Ioan Cantacuzino in the fight against tuberculosis, and was president of the Romanian Red Cross. Together with Nicolae Ghica-Budești, he built the Cantacuzino Institute in Bucharest in 1921. He was involved with the committee for historic monuments, joining in 1913 and later becoming vice president. In 1923, Balș was elected a titular member of the Romanian Academy. He died in Bucharest in 1934.

Together with Ghica-Budești and Nicolae Iorga, he sought to identify the influences that shaped Romanian architecture both in Moldavia and in Wallachia. His research took him to Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, Turkey and the Russian Empire. Balș pointed to Armenian and Georgian as well as Serbian contributions, and his work on 15th and 16th-century Moldavian architecture was favorably received. He sat on numerous company boards, including those of a mine and of a credit bank for encouraging industrial firms. The Balș family had extensive rural properties in Moldavia, but his parents gradually had to sell their lands in order to pay off debts and losses by their administrators. In 1880, his father sold the imposing residence in Iași that today houses the Music Conservatory.

In 1897, Balș married Maria Știrbey, the daughter of prince Alexandru B. Știrbei and the sister of Barbu Știrbey. The marriage contract specifies that the bride received a trousseau of 25,000 lei, and that she wished to invest 200,000 lei of her parents' inheritance for building and furnishing a house. The couple had four children: Zoe (1897-1991), Alexandru (1898-1950s), Ion (1901-1980) and Matei (1905–1976). A high school in Adjud was named after Balș in 2006.
