  • Aircraft Electrification
    Aircraft electrification The future of aerospace starts with Cranfield The relationship between aviation and the environment is one of the key challenges facing developed societies. Major reductions in carbon emissions are required to meet environmental targets. Aviation emissions are increasing by around 5% a year and the EU’s Flightpath 2050 programme calls for a 75% reduction in carbon emissions per passenger kilometre by 2050. Aircraft electrification is a necessary step towards achieving those goals and tackling climate change. As the only university in Europe with its own airport, aircraft and air navigation service provider, Cranfield offers a unique spectrum of relevant capabilities, expertise and facilities for the development of aircraft electrification and the aviation ecosystem. This includes the relevant approvals to design, build and fly a whole new aircraft concept. This is integral to achieving urban air mobility. Challenges in electrification include thermal management, systems design for integration into the airframe, battery management, power-to-weight ratios, testing, reliability and certification of new aircraft technology. Aircraft electrification will not Aircraft vehicle design page 4 succeed without parallel development Aircraft propulsion page 6 in airport infrastructure, power supply and distribution, and assessment of the Unmanned aerial systems technology page 8 impact of aviation on the environment.

Over a four year period, a partnership evolved a vision for tackling the understanding of fundamentally difficult mechanical failures and their detection, with potential for practical exploitation of the solutions. The partnership assembled a team of researchers and far-sighted project management, to undertake a study of gearbox failures, including finite element modelling, gear testing, and signal analysis. The partnership trained a series of doctoral and postdoctoral staff in running an integrated project, coping with changes in staffing and locations. The final stages of the work will validate the models and signal processing. The Eighth International Conference on Condition Monitoring and Machinery Failure Prevention Technologies 1. Introduction This paper is about how partnerships help solve problems, and it is illustrated with an integrated case study in gear damage detection.

  • Global Study of 48 Cities Finds Nature Sanitizes 41.7 Million Tons of Human Waste a Year 19 February 2021
    Global study of 48 cities finds nature sanitizes 41.7 million tons of human waste a year 19 February 2021 may allow adaptive design and management, reducing costs, and improving effectiveness and sustainability, and safeguard the continued existence of these areas of land." Wastewater treatment infrastructure that converts human feces into harmless products is an important tool for global human health. However, more than 25% of the world's population did not have access to basic sanitation facilities in 2017 and another 14% used toilets in which waste was disposed of onsite. While some of this waste may be hazardous to local populations, previous research has suggested that natural wetlands and mangroves, for example, provide effective treatment services. Part of a sewage treatment plant (Hyderabad, India), The Navikubo wetland in Uganda processes which relies on biological processes as a key part of the untreated wastewater from more than 100,000 sanitation process. Credit: Simon Wilcock households, protecting the Murchison Bay and Lake Victoria from harmful contaminants, while in the United States coastal wetlands in the Gulf of Mexico remove nitrogen from the Mississippi River. The first global-scale assessment of the role ecosystems play in providing sanitation finds that nature provides at least 18% of sanitation services in 48 cities worldwide, according to researchers in the United Kingdom and India. The study, published February 19 in the journal One Earth, estimates that more than 2 million cubic meters of the cities' human waste is processed each year without engineered infrastructure. This includes pit latrine waste that gradually filters through the soil—a natural process that cleans it before it reaches groundwater.

  • Conducting a Practice-Based Study in a Novel Context: Methodological Challenges
    Conducting a practice-based study in a novel context: methodological challenges Angela Bond Cranfield University, School of Management, UK University of Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire Business School, UK [email protected], [email protected] Dr Colin Pilbeam Cranfield University, School of Management, UK [email protected] Dr Neil Turner Cranfield University, School of Management, UK [email protected] Abstract The methodological issue addressed in this paper is how to conduct a practice-based study in a novel context. We present and build on Korica, Nicolini and Johnson's (2015) proposal to explore managerial work from a practice perspective, and to understand the implications of temporary organisation for management practice (Bakker et al., 2016). We present an argument for using Schatzki’s (2002) site ontology and summarise the key features that are relevant to, and being applied in, a current empirical study. Using the study as an illustration we discuss the methodological implications of a practice-based study and conclude with recommendations for research. Word count: 6,438 Key words: social practice; site ontology; managerial work; temporary organisation Conducting a practice-based study in a novel context: methodological challenges Introduction Practice-based approaches have contributed to a number of organisation and management fields, such as knowledge and learning (Corradi, Gherardi and Verzelloni, 2010), strategy (Whittington, 2006), technology use (Orlikowski, 2007), leadership (Raelin, 2011) and projects (O’Leary and Williams, 2013). The majority of studies are conducted from knowledge and learning or strategy perspectives (Erden, Schneider and von Krogh, 2014). Guidance is available to researchers adopting practice-based approaches in empirical studies, generally (Gherardi, 2012; Nicolini, 2013), and from within specific disciplines such as strategy (Golsorkhi et al., 2015; Johnson et al., 2007) and leadership (Raelin, 2016).
