Genome Project–Write. The Genome Project–Write (also known as GP-Write) is a large-scale collaborative research project (an extension of Genome Projects, aimed at reading genomes since 1984) that focuses on the development of technologies for the synthesis and testing of genomes of many different species of microbes, plants, and animals, including the human genome in a sub-project known as Human Genome Project–Write (HGP-Write). Formally announced on 2 June 2016, the project leverages two decades of work on synthetic biology and artificial gene synthesis.

The newly created GP-Write project will be managed by the Center of Excellence for Engineering Biology, an American nonprofit organization. Researchers expect that the ability to artificially synthesize large portions of many genomes will result in many scientific and medical advances.

Science & development
In May 2021, GP-Write and Twist Bioscience launched a new CAD platform for whole genome design. The GP-Write CAD will automate workflows to enable collaborative efforts critical for scale-up from designing plasmids to megabases across entire genomes.

Microbial Genome Projects–Write 

Technologies for constructing and testing yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs), synthetic yeast genomes (Sc2.0), and virus/phage-resistant bacterial genomes have industrial, agricultural, and medical applications.

Human Genome Project–Write 

A complete haploid copy of the human genome consists of at least three billion DNA nucleotide base pairs, which have been described in the Human Genome Project - Read program (95% completed as of 2004). Among the many goals of GP-Write are the making of cell lines resistant to all viruses and synthesis assembly lines to test variants of unknown significance that arise in research and diagnostic sequencing of human genomes (which has been exponentially improving in cost, quality, and interpretation).

Global Bioenergies. Global Bioenergies is a French company producing light liquid hydrocarbons derived from agricultural products using biological methods.

History 
The company was founded in 2008 by Marc Delcourt and Philippe Marlière.

The pilot plant came on stream in May 2015. The company announced production of one tonne of bio-isobutene from 3.84 tonnes of sugars.

Locations 
Created in the Évry Génopole Biocluster in the Essonne department in France, Global Bioenergies operated a demo plant in the ARD (Agro-industrie Recherche et Développements) research and development structure BioDemo pilot in Pomacle-Bazancourt. A pilot for research purposes was constructed at the Fraunhofer Center for Chemical and Biotechnological Processes (Fraunhofer CBP) in Leuna, Germany and is operational since 2016. Global Bioenergies also founded IBN-One, a joint-venture with Cristal Union, to install a plant in France, which should be operational in 2018.

Products 
The first process developed is the production of mehtylpropene (also called isobutene or isobutylene) from glucose, according to a process developed in 2010. The bacteria involved in the transformation process carry artificial enzymatic material developed through genetic engineering.

It is the only company in the world to have designed a conversion method for renewable resources (residual sugars, agricultural and forestry waste) into isobutene. 

Global Bioenergies subsequently agreed a partnership with Audi to produce fuel from the same elementary building blocks as plants (water, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and day light).

Melan Bridge. The Melan Bridge is located in Emma Sater Park on the east side of Rock Rapids, Iowa, United States. The  structure is believed to be the third reinforced concrete arch span built in the country. Austrian engineer Josef Melan developed a new system of concrete reinforcement for bridge construction in the early 1890s. A fellow Austrian, Fritz von Emperger, introduced the system in the United States, and obtained a patent for it in 1893.

Von Emperger designed this bridge the same year to span a crossing over Dry Creek south of Rock Rapids. John Olsen, a builder from Rock Rapids, was contracted to build the structure. W. S. Hewett of Minnesota was the construction supervisor. The cement for the bridge was imported from Germany for $3.25 per barrel. It was mixed with sand and crushed jasper. The reinforcing is composed of five  beams that are embedded in a concrete rib that narrows to  at the crown. The spandrels are faced with Sioux Falls Jasper. The total cost for the project was $830. The narrow roadway made the bridge unfit for automobile traffic, and it was removed in the early 1960s. Due to local public sentiment, the county and the state highway commission moved the historic structure to the park in 1964. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

The Melan Bridge has been featured in the Cornell Civil Engineer, Modern Concrete Magazine, Concrete Industry News, and The Central Contractor. Because of its significance and authenticity, a model of the bridge has been on display at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

Project Genoa II. Project Genoa II was a software project that originated with the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Information Awareness Office and the successor to the Genoa program. Originally part of DARPA's wider Total Information Awareness project, it was later renamed Topsail and handed over to the Advanced Research and Development Activity for further development.

Program synopsis
Genoa II was scheduled to be a five-year-long program. It followed up on the research initiated by the first Genoa project. While Genoa primarily focused on intelligence analyses, Genoa II was aimed towards providing means with which computers, software agents, policy makers, and field operatives could collaborate. Eleven different contractors were involved in its development.

Mission
The official goals of Genoa II were to develop and deploy the following:

1. Cognitive aids that allow humans and machines to "think together" in real-time about complicated problems

2. Means to overcome the biases and limitations of the human cognitive system

3. "Cognitive amplifiers" that help teams of people rapidly and fully comprehend complicated and uncertain situations

4. The means to rapidly and seamlessly cut across – and complement – existing stove-piped hierarchical organizational structures by creating dynamic, adaptable, peer-to-peer collaborative networks

History
In 2002, Tom Armour, a veteran of the Genoa project, was selected by John Poindexter to be the director of the new Genoa II program, a component of Total Information Awareness (TIA) effort. It was commissioned under the cost of $54 million.

In late 2003 TIA was officially shut down by Congress due to unfavorable views from the public. Most of its research was salvaged and its components were transferred to other government agencies for development. Genoa II was renamed Topsail and handed over to the National Security Agency's Advanced Research and Development Activity division for further work. In October 2005, the Science Applications International Corporation signed a $3.7 million contract for work on Topsail.

Tools from the program were utilized in the war in Afghanistan and in other efforts as part of the War on Terror.

In early 2006 a spokesman for the Air Force Research Laboratory said that Topsail was "in the process of being canceled due to lack of funds." When inquired about Topsail in a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing that February, both National Intelligence Director John Negroponte and FBI Director Robert Mueller said they didn't know about the program's status. Negroponte's deputy, former NSA Director Michael V. Hayden said, "I'd like to answer in closed session."

Musmeci Bridge. The “Viadotto dell’Industria” (Industry viaduct), also known as "Bridge over the Basento" river or Musmeci Bridge, is a bridge in Potenza, Basilicata, Italy, that connects the Potenza city center exit on the Sicignano-Potenza motorway with the main access roads in the southern part of the city. 

Designed by the Italian engineer Sergio Musmeci in 1967, and built between 1971 and 1976, the bridge perfectly incarnates Musmeci's architectural theories. The structure cost about 920,000,000 Italian liras (equivalent to €4,000,000 in 2016).

The structure's uniqueness is due to its construction: it is made of only one membrane of reinforced concrete (about  thick) molded to form four contiguous arches. The concrete sheet is shaped into a “finger-like” structure, which supports the whole bridge, and it is also used as a pedestrian walkway. The unique structure of the bridge has been the subject of several studies and discussions on its structure and form. 

The bridge was built without using prefabricated elements. Edilstrade Forlì-Castrocaro company constructed the bridge.

Plans and drawings of the bridge are collected in the “Musmeci Sergio and Zanini Zenaide archive” which in 1997 was declared of great historical interest by the archival superintendents of Lazio. Then in 2003, it was referred by the Ministry of Heritage and Culture as an example of architecture from the 20th century in the MAXXI (The National Museum of the 21st Century Arts, Rome). In 2003, the bridge was declared a “monument of cultural interest” by the Ministry of Heritage and Culture.

Cultural impact 
The bridge inspired the virtuosic piano piece The Arching Path by Christopher Cerrone.

ATRIAS. Assume The Robot Is A Sphere, better known by the acronym ATRIAS, is a bipedal robot developed by researchers at Oregon State University's Dynamic Robotics Laboratory. It is capable of walking on two legs at about 3 miles per hour with the assistance of multiple people to ensure it remains upright. Its developers first successfully tested its walking abilities outdoors in April 2015. ATRIAS also appeared at the 2015 DARPA Robotics Challenge, held from June 5 to June 6 in Pomona, California. The robot's designers hope to make it the fastest bipedal robot in the world, so they modeled it after chickens and other birds that spend most of their lives on the ground, as these are the fastest two-legged animals in nature.
