Gene therapy and transgenic research have advanced quickly in recent years due to the development of CRISPR technology. The rapid development of CRISPR technology has been largely benefited by chemical engineering. Firstly, chemical or synthetic substance enables spatiotemporal and conditional control of Cas9 or dCas9 activities. It prevents the leaky expression of CRISPR components, as well as minimizes toxicity and off-target effects. Multi-input logic operations and complex genetic circuits can also be implemented via multiplexed and orthogonal regulation of target genes. Secondly, rational chemical modifications to the sgRNA enhance gene editing efficiency and specificity by improving sgRNA stability and binding affinity to on-target genomic loci, and hence reducing off-target mismatches and systemic immunogenicity. Chemically-modified Cas9 mRNA is also more active and less immunogenic than the native mRNA. Thirdly, nonviral vehicles can circumvent the challenges associated with viral packaging and production through the delivery of Cas9-sgRNA ribonucleoprotein complex or large Cas9 expression plasmids. Multi-functional nanovectors enhance genome editing in vivo by overcoming multiple physiological barriers, enabling ligand-targeted cellular uptake, and blood-brain barrier crossing. Chemical engineering can also facilitate viral-based delivery by improving vector internalization, allowing tissue-specific transgene expression, and preventing inactivation of the viral vectors in vivo. This review aims to discuss how chemical engineering has helped improve existing CRISPR applications and enable new technologies for biomedical research. The usefulness, advantages, and molecular action for each chemical engineering approach are also highlighted.

Management of intangible resources is an important component of a construction company's business processes. The rapid development of information technology forces construction companies to change their usual activities and rebuild business processes in accordance with the challenges of the real market. It is digital technologies that are the object of the company's intangible assets that can be used much more effectively to improve the current processes and information flows in the construction company. The advantages of the construction company's intangible assets, such as Smart spaces, are that they provide increased efficiency and lower production costs, achieved through rational actions, the use of faster and more secure communication methods that guarantee the necessary flow of information. They also improve efficiency through rational and timely actions, with an emphasis on creating value and using new technologies. The economic effect of using information technologies, namely the introduction of Smart spaces, can be either direct, material in the form of achieved cost reduction and increased productivity of operations, or non-material, in the form of implemented patents and licenses, and improving the company's image, as well as the potential of information technologies that can be used to make more effective decisions of a strategic nature.

The paper highlights the changes in the requirements for training of engineering personnel in connection with the rapid development of new machine-building technologies. Along with traditional engineering knowledge and skills, this training should provide the development of students’ competencies in the field of computer technology for design automation, production preparation. It is noted that the rich practical experience of engineers and teachers of the older generation in new conditions becomes obsolete; they can hardly acquire the rapidly changing computer systems of scientific research of subject areas, new technologies, such as 3D graphics and engineering analysis of structures, the system digitalization of production technologies as a whole. To train specialists of a new generation, technical universities should provide: modern educational and laboratory facilities including various computer and controller systems; applicants who have sufficient basic background and technical aptitude; high-skilled teaching staff specialized in modern computer technology willing to upgrade their teaching skills and personal qualifications. The paper dwells on the state support measures for universities to improve personnel training for high-tech industries, which include as a priority the system of personnel training for the military-industrial complex. The authors present an accumulated experience of the Aerospace Institute of the Orenburg State University in the area of stage-by-stage construction of modern educational and laboratory facilities, the formation of student contingent, retraining and raising qualification of the teaching staff, interaction with employers and partners.

Owing to the rapid development of renewable energy and the popularity of electric vehicles, Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are intensively used, causing more researches on safety standards, repurposing batteries, failure analysis, as well as next-generation energy materials, such as graphene and other two-dimensional materials. In this work, the engineering integrations on combining Li-ion battery cells to an energy storage system (ESS) are introduced. The battery management system (BMS) plays an important role in using the battery system efficiently and safely. The energy management system (EMS) can well-integrate the ESS and other systems, such as renewable power sources and loads. Current potential applications for power and stationary application on various size scales are demonstrated. The outlooks on the future of Li-ion batteries are given at last.-------------------[About this talk]Dr. Hsien-Ching Chung was invited to give a talk about "Engineering integrations, potential applications, and outlooks of Li-ion batteries" in the conference, "Taiwan-Vietnam Joint International Conference on Emerging Materials and Batteries (ICMB 2020)."

With the rapid development and widespread use of technology, business processes are being transformed. One of the consequences of the implementation of technologies into the business is the partial transition to remote work, which made it necessary to reflect the corresponding changes in the internal control system (IC). The article is devoted to the analysis of the main shortcomings identified during the transition to the remote mode, in response to which measures are proposed to adapt the IC to the conditions of remote work. Identifies the following areas for improvement of the internal control system. In response to the identified areas successful practical examples are analyzed and potential measures are proposed in the context of the elements identified in the COSO conceptual framework and methodological documents of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation.

This paper deals with innovative fruition modalities of cultural heritage sites. Based on two ongoing experiments, four pillars are considered, that is, User Localization, Multimodal Interaction, User Understanding and Gamification. A survey of the existing literature regarding one or more issues related to the four pillars is proposed. It aims to put in evidence the exploitation of these contributions to cultural heritage. It is discussed how a cultural site can be enriched, extended and transformed into an intelligent multimodal environment in this perspective. This new augmented environment can focus on the visitor, analyze his activity and behavior, and make his experience more satisfying, fulfilling and unique. After an in-depth overview of the existing technologies and methodologies for the fruition of cultural interest sites, the two experiments are described in detail and the authors’ vision of the future is proposed.
