The planning and operation of airports must, if they are to be successful, take into account the interactions among these three major components or system actors. For the system to operate well, each of the actors must reach some form of equilibrium with the other two. Failure to do so will result in suboptimal conditions, exemplified by a number of undesirable phenomena that are indicators of …

The book provides an overview of technical sustainable water management in the Global South, mainly in India. The book is structured in five sections: (1) current state and challenges, (2) new age materials in (waste) water treatment, (3) new technologies developed for (waste) water treatment, (4) sensors, (5) urban water infrastructure. Section-1 provides the latest information about the statu…
Increasing global population growth and the continued exploitation of land, water and other natural resources is causing the release of harmful gases and toxic compounds into the environment. To combat this pollution and mitigate its impact, a number of physicochemical, biochemical, and biotechnological approaches have been developed. Each chapter of this book focuses on one specific technology…
Keep in mind that an accomplished pilot demonstrates the ability to assess a situation quickly and accurately and to determine the correct procedure to be followed under the circumstance; to analyze accurately the probable results of a given set of circumstances or of a proposed procedure; to exercise care and due regard for safety; to gauge accurately the performance of the aircraft; and to re…
Unmanned helicopters pose a challenge to nonlinear control design and development. Unmanned helicopters are inherently unstable without closed loop control, setting it apart from many other classes of mechanical systems that possess desirable structural properties such as passivity or dissipativity. In addition, helicopter dynamics are highly nonlinear and strongly coupled, and therefore dis…
Throughout 2022, as a form of normalcy emerged from the pandemic, the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP or Panel) returned to in-person engagements and carried on a series of insight and fact-finding discussions, along with its quarterly meetings. The Panel placed an emphasis on the significant strategic-level recommendations that it made in 2021, while continuing to explore NASA’s substa…
