SUMMARY:ABCP Webinar: The challenges and opportunities of a global health crisis
DESCRIPTION:Title\nThe challenges and opportunities of a global health crisis: the management and business implications of COVID‑19 from an Asian perspective \nSpeaker\nProf Yipeng Liu (刘毅鹏教授)\, Professor in Management and Organisation Studies\, Founding Director of the Research Centre for China Management and Global Business (CMGB)\, Henley Business School\, University of Reading\, UK \nLanguage\nThe talk will be delivered in English. \nAbstract\nIn this talk\, the speaker will introduce his recent research work on the challenges and opportunities of a global health crisis. Below is the abstract of the paper: \nOn March 11\, 2020\, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak a pandemic. As the evolution and implications of the COVID-19 crisis are still unfolding\, we posit that exploring the experiences and strategic responses of Asian countries may shed light on ways to combat COVID-19 for the rest of the world. In this paper\, we first articulate the importance of resilience\, strategic agility\, and entrepreneurship in the context of the fight against COVID-19. Then\, with the focus on China\, South Korea\, and Singapore\, we discuss the impact COVID-19 is having on economies and businesses\, governmental support for businesses and societies\, and implications for global supply chain disruptions. We hope that the global health system will recover quickly\, and that the world economy will be revitalized with the contributions and collaboration of science (including social science)\, industry\, and governments. \nReference \n\nLiu\, Y.\, Lee\, J.

SUMMARY:ABCP Webinar: Kinematics That Entails Metamorphic and Reconfigurable Mechanisms
DESCRIPTION:Title\nKinematics That Entails Metamorphic and Reconfigurable Mechanisms \n理论运动学奠定了变胞机构与可重构机构与可重构机器人基础 \nSpeaker\nProf Jian S. Dai (戴建生教授) FIEEE FASME FRSA FIMechE CEng\, Chair Professor of Mechanisms and Robotics\, Advanced Kinematics and Reconfigurable Robotics Lab\, Department of Engineering\, School of Natural and Mathematical Sciences\, King’s College London \nLanguage\nThe talk will be delivered in English\, but slides will be bilingual (English and Chinese). \nAbstract\nThis talk presents the study of advanced kinematics and fundamental theories and their relations to Lie groups and Lie algebra through finite screws and is to be followed by the kinematics entailed reconfigurable mechanisms and robots. The intrinsic theory in the kinematics study provides a foundation of development of reconfigurable mechanisms and robots in their various forms\, leading to a two-decade innovation in metamorphic mechanisms\, reconfigurable robots and evolutionary parallel robots. With change of order of a kinematics system\, the mechanism changes its mobility and presents its different topologies.\nThe talk gives a philosophical view over the entwinement between robotics and arts\, presents decades of development in origami robots\, arts robots\, metamorphic robots\, rehabilitation robots and reconfigurable robots. This entwinement is elevated by mathematical tools\, particularly the advanced kinematics with screw theory and its relations to Lie groups and Lie algebra through finite screws. With change of the order of a screw system\, a robot mechanism changes its mobility and presents its different topologies for variable tasks. \nExtensive applications of the reconfigurable mechanisms and robots are to be presented in the aspects of assembly\, packaging\, food industry\, domestic robots\, walking robots\, origami robots\, rehabilitation robots and medical robots\, leading to Robots of Future in the decades ahead. \n本讲座将介绍高级运动学和基本理论及其贯通有限旋量与李群和李代数关系的前沿研究，以此开辟了变胞机构子领域与可重构机构与可重构机器人大领域。高教运动学研究中的内在理论为各种形式的可重构机构和可重构机器人开发奠定了基础，从而引出了二十年创新的变胞机构，可重构机器人及其进化的并联机器人。随着运动系统顺序的改变，该机构改变了其运动性并呈现出不同的拓扑。 \n该演讲从哲学角度进一步探讨了机器人科学与艺术之间的缱绻，并介绍了折纸机器人，艺术机器人，变胞机器人，康复机器人和可重构机器人数十年来发展。这种缠绵可以通过数学工具来提升，尤其是采用旋量理论的高级运动学，以及通过有限旋量与李群和李代数的关系。随着旋量系统顺序的改变，机器人机构改变了其活动度与自由度，并针对不同任务产生出不同拓扑，以适应不同环境与不同需求。 \n可重构机构和可重构机器人的广泛应用在组装，包装，食品工业，家用机器人，步行机器人，折纸机器人，康复机器人和医疗机器人等方面得到展示，从而在未来几十年中实现“未来机器人”。 \nBio of Speaker\nProf Jian S.

SUMMARY:ABCP Webinar: The impact of COVID-19 on the healthcare and societal costs in China
DESCRIPTION:Title\nThe impact of COVID-19 on the healthcare and societal costs in China \n新冠疫情对中国卫生系统和社会经济的冲击 \nSpeaker\nDr Huajie (Lily) Jin (金桦杰博士)\, Senior Health Economist\, King’s College London\, UK \nLanguage\nThe talk will be delivered in English. \nPresentation Slides\nhttp://abcp.org.uk/files/virtual_seminars/20200717-Huajie_Jin.pdf \nAbstract\nCOVID-19 swept through China in 2020\, with over 83\,000 confirmed cases reported by the end of June 2020. In order to estimate the economic burden of COVID-19\, we conducted a cost-of-illness study to estimate the healthcare and societal cost of COVID-19 in 31 provincial-level administrative regions in China. The main cost components included identification\, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19\, compulsory quarantine and productivity losses for all affected residents in China during the study period. Input data were obtained from government reports\, clinical guidelines\, and other published literature. The total estimated healthcare and societal cost associated with the outbreak is 4.26 billion RMB (0.62 billion USD) and 2\,647 billion RMB (383 billion USD)\, respectively. The main components of routine healthcare costs are inpatient care (41.0%) and medicines (30.9%). The main component of societal costs is productivity losses (99.8%). Hubei province incurred the highest healthcare cost (83.2%) whilst Guangdong province incurred the highest societal cost (14.6%). \nOur study highlights a large economic burden of the recent COVID-19 outbreak in China. Evidence indicates that the control measures to prevent the spread of disease incurred substantial productivity costs amounting to over 2% of China’s annual GDP. The results of this study provide evidence to justify significant investment in prevention and control measures for future outbreaks. \nRelated papers from speaker \n\nHuajie Jin et al.\, “Estimating the cost-of-illness associated with the COVID-19 outbreak in China from January to March 2020\,” medRxiv\, doi: 10.1101/2020.05.15.20102863\, May 2020\nJidi Zhao et al.\, “Disease Burden Attributable to the First Wave of COVID-19 in China\, and the Effect of Timing on the Cost-Effectiveness of Movement Restriction Policies\,” preprint with The Lancet\, doi: 10.2139/ssrn.3605199\n\nBio of Speaker\nDr Huajie Jin (Lily) has been a Senior Health Economist at King’s College London since 2013. Her role at King’s involves designing and conducting economic evaluations for or a range of policymakers and research organisations\, including the NHS England\, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)\, the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR)\, Medical Research Council (MRC)\, as well as voluntary sector and commercial organisations. Before joining King’s\, Lily used to work on the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) clinical guidelines for three years. Between Year 2011-2013\, Lily was an honorary Research Fellow of Cardiff University\, and an Honorary Research Associate of Swansea University. \nLily’s research focuses on health economic modelling\, trial-based economic evaluations and systematic reviews. She has conducted economic evaluations for a range of healthcare interventions\, including screening tests\, diagnostic tests\, drugs\, radiotherapies\, and service-level interventions\, such as trainings for GPs\, and liaison modes between primary care and secondary care services.

SUMMARY:ABCP Webinar: Existential Crisis and Challenges of Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:Title\nIs there an existential crisis which requires complete decarbonization in the next 30 years and if so\, what are the challenges of the required energy transition? \nSpeaker\nProf Gautam Kalghatgi FREng FIMechE FSAE FCI FISEES\, Visiting Professor\, Oxford University (Engineering Science); formerly worked at Shell Research in the UK and Saudi Aramco in Dhahran \nLanguage\nThe talk will be delivered in English. \nPresentation Slides\nhttp://abcp.org.uk/files/webinars/20200703-Gautam_Kalghatgi.pdf \nVideo Recording\nhttp://abcp.org.uk/files/webinars/20200703-Gautam_Kalghatgi.mp4\nAbstract\nThere is widespread belief that unless “something is done”\, the world will go through an “existential crisis” because of climate change. As a result\, several initiatives calling for drastic and rapid cuts in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are gaining traction. However\, empirical evidence shows that\, over the past many decades\, all measures of human development have improved significantly; food production has increased consistently; the earth is greening; deaths attributed to extreme weather have decreased by 95%; there is no statistical evidence that droughts\, floods and forest fires have increased or that the rate of sea level rise is abnormal. In any case humanity has coped with past climate change (rise in temperature) caused substantially by human activities. Nevertheless\, there is widespread belief that the precautionary principle requires that in order to avoid future catastrophe\, the world requires to decarbonise completely and quickly. However\, currently fossil fuels supply around 85% of global primary energy. Replacing this with carbon-free energy\, even after assuming a 40% reduction in demand because of improved efficiency\, will require the world to build over 3100 nuclear power stations of 3 GW each or over 7.8 million 3 MW wind turbines. Simultaneously\, existing energy infrastructure has to be dismantled e.g. gas boilers have to be replaced by electric heating\, aviation and steel and cement industries have to be largely shut down …Such change is unlikely to happen\, particularly as poorer countries try to grow their economies and continue to use fossil fuels. Hence it is better to shift policy towards adaptation i.e. make societies more resilient to the effects of climate change e.g. better flood defences. \nCurrently\, wind and solar supply 1.33% of global primary energy consumption of 581 exajoules. All alternatives to fossil fuels start from a very low base and have significant barriers to unlimited growth. The talk will then focus on transport\, particularly\, battery electric vehicles to illustrate this point. Even by 2040\, 85-90% of transport energy will come from petroleum- based fuels powering internal combustion engines (ICE) because of the large scale of the problem. It is imperative that ICE engines are improved to maintain the sustainability of transport and there is great scope for such improvement. Banning the sale of ICE vehicles by 2035\, as the U.K. government proposes\, will stop R&D in this area and close the cheapest and easiest path to cleaner and better transport which requires all available technologies to be used sensibly. \nBio of Speaker\nGautam Kalghatgi worked for 31 years at Shell Research in the UK followed by 8 years in Saudi Aramco in Dhahran before retiring in June 2018. He is currently a Visiting Professor at Oxford University (Engineering Science) and has held similar academic appointments in the past at Imperial College\, London; KTH Stockholm; TU Eindhoven and Sheffield University.

SUMMARY:ABCP Webinar: Energy Storage for a Net (Nearly Net) Zero Carbon Energy Future
DESCRIPTION:Title\nEnergy Storage for a Net (Nearly Net) Zero Carbon Energy Future \n热能存储与净（近）零碳能源系统构建 \nSpeaker\nProfessor Yulong Ding (丁玉龙) CEng FIChemE FRSC\, Birmingham Centre for Energy Storage\, University of Birmingham\, UK \nLanguages\nThe talk will be delivered in English but the slides will be bilingual in English and Chinese. \nAbstract\nThe global impacts of the changing climate have become increasingly visible in recent years. To address such a colossal challenge\, the UK took the lead in the world to adopt a highly ambitious target in 2019 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050. This target\, together with legislated carbon budgets\, implies that more radical emissions cuts across the economy would be needed. Although the greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by 45% in the UK since 1990\, the reduction so far has been largely achieved within the power sector by the transition away from coal and towards gas and renewable generation. Significantly more difficult challenges remain ahead of us. \nThis talk will start with an overview of the world final energy consumption\, together with recent renewable penetration and energy efficiency data. These data will be analysed to show the true challenges from a decarbonisation perspective. Attention is then paid to the most popular emerging energy technologies\, including electrification of transport\, hydrogen economy\, carbon capture and storage\, and hydrogen ironmaking. These energy processes as currently configured will be shown to be highly energy inefficient\, leading to a new thermal challenge. Advanced planning for a radically new energy infrastructure would be needed if we do not want our next generations to face similar energy challenges as we do today and indeed over the past few decades\, such as retrofitting measures for our homes. An attempt is then made to establish a multi-vector-based energy network with a potential to resolve the challenge. \nThe transition to a net (nearly net) zero carbon energy future is likely to catalyse the creation of many new businesses. Inevitably\, this will place many conventional energy businesses to a vulnerable position or even out of business if they are not prepared for or resist to the changes. This will be briefly discussed if time allows. \nBio of Speaker\nProfessor Yulong Ding (丁玉龙) CEng FIChemE FRSC is the founding Chamberlain Chair of Chemical Engineering at the University of Birmingham. His current research covers both fundamental (multiphase transport phenomena across length scales) and applied (new energy conversion and storage technologies) aspects. \nHe invented liquid air energy storage and cryogenic engine technologies and led the initial stage of their developments and validation\, which are respectively commercialised by Highview Power and Dearman Engine\, two UK engineering companies. He developed composite phase change materials for thermal energy storage and associated large-scale manufacture technologies\, leading to large scale commercial applications with a total installation of ~1.2GWh so far. \nHe is a receiver of three IChemE Global Awards – Energy\, Research Project and Outstanding Achievement Awards in 2019; Distinguished Energy Storage Individual Award (Beijing International Energy Storage and Expo\, 2018); Cryogenic Energy Storage Research Chair Award (Royal Academy of Engineering\, 2014); Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Progress Award (First Prize\, Advanced Compressed Air Energy Storage System\, 2014); Energy & Environment Award and Technology and Innovation Grand Prix Award (Liquid Air Energy Storage\, ‘The Engineer’ Magazine\, 2011). \nHe has published over 450 technical papers with ~250 in peer-reviewed journals (H Index of ~ 63)\, filed over 70+ patents\, and co-founded Dispersia Ltd and Jinhe Energy Co Ltd\, and more recently Kelvin Thermotech Ltd. He has served as a consultant to AnSteel Group\, P&G\, Shell Global Solutions\, GSK\, Pfizer and CREG over the last 20 years. He currently serves on IChemE Publication Medal Assessment Panel\, European Technology and Innovation Platform Working Group on Smart Networks for Energy Transition (ETIPSNET)\, and editorial boards of Journal of Energy Storage (Wiley)\, Journal of Thermal Science (Springer)\, Particuology (Elsevier)\, and Energies & Applied Science (MDPI). \nHow to Participate\nThe seminar is open to all for free.
