Personal Viewpoint

The first part of the paper deals with the background to the UK experience in EHM. The programmes that have led to the UK’s experience are given and some lessons learnt are outlined which will be applied to Engine Health Monitoring (EHM) in future engines. The UK policy for the fleetwide fit of EHM equipment is stated. In the second part, the application of EHM to advanced technology engines is examined from a personal viewpoint. Future engines will include materials and aerothermal cycles that are in the research and development field. The impact of a structured approach to durability, the anticipated reduction of engine spares holdings and the requirement to improve flight safety and enhance engine availability are advanced as arguments in support of the development of EHM techniques alongside the development of future engines.

Implementation Programme

This paper describes the process model used in the Impact Implementation Programme and its origins in earlier research and development conducted in the schools, further education and public libraries domains. The choice of an action research methodology is discussed. The facilitation process undertaken through the first annual cycle of the Programme is described and various lessons learnt are reported. Conclusions are offered on the success of the Programme so far and on some factors likely to influence success if this model is adopted elsewhere.

Food Manufacturing Industry

This paper investigates and outlines a cost-energy optimised pathway for the UK food manufacturing industry to attain the national Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reduction target of 80%, relative to 1990 levels, by 2050. The paper employs the linear programming platform TIMES, and it models the current and future technology mix of the UK food manufacturing industry. The model considers parameters such as capital costs, operating costs, efficiency and the lifetime of technologies to determine the cheapest pathway to achieve the GHG emission constraints. The model also enables future parametric analyses and can predict the influence of different economic, trade and dietary preferences and the impact of technological investments and policies on emissions. The study showed that for the food manufacturing industry to meet the emission reduction targets by 2050 the use of natural gas as the dominant source of energy in the industry at present, will have to be replaced by decarbonised grid electricity and biogas. This will require investments in Anaerobic Digestion (AD), Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants driven by biogas and heat pumps powered by decarbonised electricity.

The Impact

With the rapid development of science and technology, science fiction products are gradually becoming realistic and stepping into and affecting our lives. This paper begins from the connotation of science fiction products in movies, analyzes social, economical and technological base for the existence of science fiction products, and involves the impact and function in existing product design of science fiction products in the aspects of innovative model, advanced technology and material use and so on. Finally it comes to the conclusion that we can take advantage of future technology and new materials of science fiction products in modern product design to improve man-machine relationship of realistic products, design new lifestyles, and better man’s quality of life.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has dramaticallyimpacted healthcare provision in the UK and burns services have had to adapt to ensure the continuityof a safe care. As we return to " normalit y" we reflect on lessons learnt from our response to this pandemic. A service evaluation was performed from patient notes between March 23rd and May8th 2020 and an anonymoussurveygiven to patients attending outpatient appointments. 258 patients were referred to our burns service and 148 patients completed the survey. Eleven burns were caused bytreatment or prevention of COVID-19. Patients delayed seeking medical attention due to concern of catching COVID-19 (36% adults, 8% children). There was a delayin referral of 17 patients despite them fulfilling the referral criteria. Infection rates were higher following delayed presentation (21% vs 6%). The majorityof burns were managed conservatively (237/258). Dressing changes were performed at home by32% of patients. The outreach team treated 22 patients. During the pandemic telemedicine has improved the efficiencyof outpatient burn care and outreach nurses have enabled treatment of vulnerable patients. More must be done to raise public awareness of preventable causes of burn injuryand to reassure them to seek help when burns occur.

The Impact

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on research and development (R&D) was a major factor for the global innovation activity in 2020. Prior to the pandemic, global R&D spending by both governments and private capital had been steadily increasing for a decade, resulting in a doubling of spending. In the US, growth was slower than in other countries, especially compared to China, causing the US share of global R&D to decline. At the end of 2020, it was clear that China's economy ended the year with fewer losses compared to the developed world, and local companies continued to increase R&D spending, which will contribute to Chinese innovation competition in the coming years. This 2020 report consists of several thematic blocks which will be retained in subsequent annual editions. First, there is a review and analysis of the most relevant information on countries' expenditures on research and development (R&D), in particular, the estimates of expenditures according to R&D World, the volume of federal funding for R&D in the USA for 2021, and the results of the annual European Innovation Scoreboard rating of innovative companies. Secondly, the results of international patenting data by country and industry are presented, using the latest available data for 2019. Third, given the importance of private companies' capital for innovation activity, a separate block includes the results of initial public offerings (IPOs) in 2020 on major stock exchanges (USA) and other platforms, as well as data on mergers and acquisitions, which remain the most important alternative to public offerings for raising capital by technology companies. Finally, the last block deals with changes in the innovation development strategies of the leading countries. The focus here is made on the implications of Brexit for the science and technology development of the UK and the EU, taking into account the parties' agreement on a trade deal for the period after the country's exit from the Union since January 1, 2021.

The Impact

The New Zealand dairy industry recognises that to remain competitive it must continue to invest in research and development. Outcomes from research have ensured year-round provision of low-cost feed from pasture while improving productivity. Some of these advances, discussed in this paper, include the use of white clover in pasture, understanding the impacts of grass endophyte, improved dairy cow nutrition, the use of alternative forage species and nitrogen fertiliser to improve productivity, demonstration of the impact of days-in-milk on profitability, and the use of feed budgeting and appropriate pasture management.
