Currently, complexity is derived from reports provided by the controllers andpilots involved in the incidents, from which the mid-air collision risk is estimated.These incidents are extremely rare events, which make them infeasible to deriveany reliable statistics. Furthermore, not all incidents are reported, making it diffi-cult to infer how many true incidents have really occurred. Finally, t…
MRO companies strive to stay competitive Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) companies constantly strive to stay competitive and respond to the increasing demand for short and predictable air-craft turnaround times. As they work towards shorter and better controlled aircraft down times and lower maintenance costs, they have identified process op-timization as the key element for innovation i…
Aviation has played an important part in shaping Australia’s culture and history through the course of the twentieth century. Australia embraced aviation from its earliest days, eagerly responding to its potential to cover a challenging country, to bring far-flung communities closer and to provide services that could not be delivered any other way. Add the romance of pioneer heroes, the vital…

Civil engineering has made an inestimable contribution to modern life, providing the crucial expertise behind our vast transportation systems and the wide array of built structures where we work, study, and play. In this Very Short Introduction, engineer David Muir Wood turns a spotlight on a field that we often take for granted. He sheds light on the nature and importance of civil engineering …
Ohm's Law states that, at constant temperature, the electric current flowing in a conducting material is directly proportional to the applied voltage, and inversely proportional to the Resistance. Ohm’s Law is the relationship between power, voltage, current and resistance. These are the very basic electrical units we work with. The principles apply to alternating current (ac), direct current…
Mine dynamic hazards mainly include the rockburst, high-speed landslide, coal andgas outburst, underground debrisflow, gob area catastrophic collapse, tailings damcollapse, and water inrush, etc. Rockburst is usually referred to as dynamiccatastrophe, which results in causalities and roadway destruction, caused by elasticstrain energy emitting in a sudden, rapid and violent way from coal or roc…
Radio spectrum is a natural but limited resource that enables wireless communi-cations. The access to the radio spectrum is under the regulation of governmentagencies, such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the UnitedStates (US), the Office of Communications (Ofcom) in the United Kingdom (UK),and the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) in Singapore. Conventionally, theregulator…
The war in Ukraine, with the exposure of nuclear power stations and the danger of atomic warfare, has made the legacy of the Soviet nuclear sector of critical importance. The two authors map the Soviet nuclear industry in a shifting historical context, making sense of a complex socio-technical and environmental history. Taking an innovative approach, this book explores the history of atomic pow…
