SUMMARY:Nonlinearity\, Chaos and Complexity in Science and Technology
DESCRIPTION:To download the slide pack as a pdf file please click hereDownload\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Complex Systems Special Interest Group of Al-Kindi Society of Engineers\, in collaboration with the UK section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME-UK) invite you to this upcoming webinar in the series of webinars on Complex Systems. \n\n\n\nEvent Brief:Three words: complexity\, nonlinearity and chaos can be considered as the building blocks for the third revolution in science. The first one started with Newton`s laws\, the second with Einstein equations and quantum theory. The third is something totally different\, complexity\, nonlinearity and chaos are the building blocks of this new science. It touches every science humanity has ever known. The seed for this science was planted in the 19th century\, the real plant started to grow up in the 70s and 80s of the 20th century. This science has grown so fast that by the late of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century\, to the extent that it has touched every corner of our lives. \n\n\n\nAs engineers\, we use this new science in modelling complex systems. \n\n\n\nComplex systems are systems whose behaviour is intrinsically chaotic and difficult to model due to the dependencies\, competitions\, relationships\, or other types of interactions between their parts or between a given system and its environment. Examples of complex systems are Earth’s global climate\, infrastructure such as power grid\, transportation or communication systems\, and socio-economic organizations (like cities). \n\n\n\nIn this introductory lecture to the Complex Systems webinar series\, Dr Ali Albadri will introduce the building blocks and history of this new science to show how it has evolved to the maturity we see now.

SUMMARY:Overcoming the Global Challenges - Securing the World’s Food\, Energy and Water
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker: Dr. Adel Sharif. \n\n\n\nFood\, Energy and Water (FEW) are linked inextricably and are important requirements for national security and economic development of nations. To make enough food for a growing world population\, more water and energy are needed. Ensuring water is accessible and clean for human consumption demands energy and diverts water resources from agriculture. Additionally producing energy requires water. Energy production is further constrained by the need to limit greenhouse gas emissions. \n\n\n\n At the centre of the FEW nexus lies the global challenge of climate change and poverty. Critical to achieving sustainability and eradicating poverty is to have sustainable energy and water supplies that have little or no geographical or climatic condition constraints. This appears near impossible or far reaching given the current rate of consumption of the world’s energy and water resources and the status of scientific and technological development. \n\n\n\nFor energy\, this is true because fossil based energy sources are available in certain places around the world which presents a geographical\, logistical and political constraints. Additionally they have negative impact on the environment\, which has resulted in the challenge of Climate Change. Renewable energy sources\, on the other hand\, whether solar\, wind\, tidal\, hydropower\, etc.\, though have much less negative impacts on the environment; they are not free from geographical and climatic constraints regardless of their development status. In other words\, they are not available to every country\, never mind their still high capital and installation costs\, which can be restraining factors. \n\n\n\nThe global water situation is not different from that of energy. The most populated parts of the world suffer from water shortages and most of the larger cities in the world are located near the sea. Tapping into seawater was considered as an option solution for freshwater supply\, but desalination is an energy intensive technology\, which limits its use to wealthy and oil rich countries.     \n\n\n\nHence low cost and secure energy is the key to a prosperous world. Low cost energy will impact water and food production positively as there is a plenty of water in the sea and there is little or no shortage of agricultural land. This will also have a positive effect on the environment and helps reducing the impact of climate change. Out of the box thinking suggests an energy source that has little or no constraints and that is Gravity. Gravity is everywhere with an infinite range and no geographical nor climatic limitations. Turning gravity to an exploitable energy source for electricity production and direct pumping\, would present a great leap in technological advancement.  Investigating the possibility of producing electricity using gravity is currently carried out by a limited number of researchers. If they succeed\, the potential would be huge with a global impact and opportunities. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker \n\n\n\nDr. Adel Sharif\, CEng\, FIChemE\, Professor of Water and Renewable Energy Engineering at the University of Surrey. Dr Adel is a recipient of the Queen’s Prize for Water Research and the Medal for Best Innovations in Science and Technology awarded by the British Royal Society and other international awards. Dr Adel supervised more than 25 PhD theses and 55 MSc dissertations. He authored and co-authored more than 200 publications and more than 30 patents. He completed his first degree in Chemical Engineering\, university of Baghdad in 1986; followed by MSc and PhD at Swansea University.
