Leveraging industrial statistics in the data revolution: The Youden Memorial Address at the 63rd Annual Fall Technical Conference

We are in the midst of a “Data Revolution” that is transforming our economy. This revolution is as large and profound as other major economic shifts from the introduction of the printing press to the Industrial Revolution. In this article, we compare the development of the field of Industrial Statistics as an outgrowth of the Machine Age to the development of the field of Data Science as an outgrowth of the Information Age. It is shown how the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for “Data Scientists” have evolved to support companies as they try to differentiate themselves in the Information Age. It is discussed how the unique skills that Industrial Statisticians possess can provide a transformative advantage to Data Scientists working in the Information Age. Advice is given on how to leverage Industrial Statistics in the midst of the Data Revolution so that we ethically and responsibly implement the tools of Data Science, address important problems, and inclusively educate future generations.

Action-research-based optimisation model for health care behaviour change in rural India

In this research, we utilise a multi-method braided approach for a real-world health care intervention in rural India. We first use action research to conceptually underpin the role of self-help groups, disease profiles and appropriate interventions in health care behaviour change and improvement. Action research is then coupled with a non-linear integer-programming-based simulation to determine how health care resources need to be distributed over time, disease type and groups. The action research provides specific research questions and distributional forms needed for the optimisation analysis, while the non-linear integer-programming simulation provides specific recommendations on where and when to distribute resources. External validity of the study is ensured by the adoption of recommendations in the field as part of the action research. Findings from this research have important policy implications. For example, it identifies the value of continuous embedded interventions as opposed to periodic ones and the importance of flexibility in terms of which community groups and disease types to serve over time. This research also provides an important bridge between the operations research, health care in developing nations, organisational theory and humanitarian operations bodies of knowledge.     

传统建筑材料在当代环境艺术设计中的运用与研究

在经济不断发展的大背景下,人们的审美意识也不断增强,对于建筑材料与环境艺术的融合提出了更高的要求,并在现在的环境艺术设计中加入了更多新鲜有趣的理念。然而由于固有理念的束缚和一味求新、求变思想的出现,对于传统建筑材料的使用却遇到了不足。其实,在当代环境艺术设计中,环境设计的基本元素,不仅要能表现艺术,在视角和造景效果上也要能体现出很大的美学价值。本文结合当前传统建材料的应用情况,对其与当代环境艺术设计的结合做一个简单的阐述,对实际设计的美学造诣深入探究,让有价值的传统建筑材料绽放光彩。

抗新型冠状病毒2019-nCoV新药的研发

2019年底，湖北武汉暴发了2019新型冠状病毒感染疾病（COVID-19），并快速在全国蔓延，且在多个国家发现病例。其感染病例和死亡病例在短时间内快速超过重症急性呼吸综合征（SARS），给中国带来了不可估量的损失。中国科研人员在短时间内，快速锁定病原体为2019-nCoV（或hCoV-19或SARS-CoV-2)，并且在不同层面开展了相关抗病毒药物的研发工作。本文介绍了抗2019-nCoV新药研发的现状。同时，鉴于突发病原体的药物研发过程相对迟缓，我们建议对于潜在流行可能性的病原体，其药物研发要具有前瞻性，国家层面要推进广谱药物的研发和临床试验，以应对可能出现的疫情风险。     

Wire-free electricity: Insights from a techno-futuristic exploration

Wireless Power Transmission is an emerging technology that enables the transmission of electricity without the use of artificial conducting mediums. Lack of significant technological breakthroughs widely affected its progress. In this paper, we analyze the early progress of WPT and attempt to forecast its growth using Pearl curve model. Fisher-Pry substitution model analysis indicates that technology substitution of wired transmission has just begun and half the substitution will be over by 2028. We conducted patent landscaping to identify hot domains and specific technology areas. Implications for technology developers and manufacturers, electric utility providers and national policymakers are also identified.
