воздушный транспорт

Автор: Сергей Николаевич Хурсевич

Большую часть жизни я прыгал с парашютом – сначала как спортсмен-любитель, потом как парашютист-испытатель. Еще в конце девяностых – начале двухтысячных стало ясно: положение дел в отечественной авиации и тенденции ее развития таковы, что скоро мы можем остаться не только без техники, пригодной для выполнения парашютных прыжков, но и без аэродромов. Возглавив в 2017 году НИИ парашютостроения, я всерьез задумался: что можно и нужно сделать для радикального изменения ситуации.В результате большой и нелегкой работы, при неоценимой помощи моих друзей и единомышленников – авиационных экспертов и практиков, готовых создать новую, адекватную модель развития отечественной авиационной системы, получилась эта книга. О полезности и своевременности ее судить читателю.

Александр Климчук – основатель вертолетной компании «Аэросоюз», считает: «Любой человек, который не знает, что такое авиация, за 10–15 минут может понять, как летает вертолет». Александр с большим интересом наблюдал за тем, как происходит процесс обучения пилотов-любителей, удивляясь, кем и для кого написаны скучные и сложные для восприятия учебники. Так появилась идея создания «Азбуки вертолетчика» – краткого пособия для начинающих пилотов вертолетов. По рекомендации коллег и любимой жены автора Екатерины, «Азбука вертолетчика» переиздана. В этом пособии рассказывается о сложном простыми словами. Оно поможет не испугаться программы обучения пилотированию, а значит, для кого-то может стать путевкой в небо. Все средства от продажи книги пойдут на поддержку и развитие творчески одаренных детей

Работа посвящена обзору моделей нелинейного ценообразования, а также анализу способов их воплощения в жизнь на реальных рынках. На простых примерах описываются базовые формы нелинейного ценообразования и ценовой дискриминации, изложены основные теоретические результаты, касающиеся моделирования нелинейного ценообразования и формирования ассортиментного ряда, в особенности применительно к тем потребителям, которые готовы платить за более высокий уровень качества. Показано, что автомобили из стран, обладающих репутацией «автомобильных держав» (Великобритания, Германия, Швеция), продаются с максимальной надбавкой по сравнению с базовым случаем. Кроме того, рассмотрены приемы, используемые на российском рынке, которые подтверждают, что при всех информационных ограничениях автодилеры находят способы продавать автомобили максимально близко к резервной цене потребителя, в той или иной форме используя все типы ценовой дискриминации.

Гражданская авиация Великобритании всегда была в лидерах по дальности перелетов, развитию сети перевозок, введению технических средств пилотирования и автоматизации. С 1 мая 1919 г., когда британское небо стало открытым для полетов, по 1 апреля 1974-го, когда начала свою работу компания «Бритиш Эйруэйз», прошло всего пятьдесят пять лет, но они вместили в себя огромный путь: от тарахтящих бипланов до сверхзвуковых лайнеров, от первых робких попыток пересечь Ла-Манш и доставить пассажиров из Лондона в Париж до полетов вокруг земного шара, от группы разрозненных компаний-перевозчиков, каждая из которых имела свои интересы, до единого государственного авиапредприятия, несущего флаг по всей планете. История британских авиалиний – это жесточайшая конкуренция как со старыми противниками вроде Франции, Германии или Бельгии, с компаниями бывших доминионов, так и с независимыми британскими перевозчиками, поощряемыми собственным правительством. Эта уникальная книга не просто первая подробная история гражданской авиации Великобритании от первых шагов до образования «Бритиш Эйруэйз», но и настоящая иллюстрированная энциклопедия британских авиалиний. Вы узнаете, как покорялись континенты, как строились и рассыпались корпорации, как самолеты изменяли свой облик: от бипланов до крупнейшего британского самолета Bristol 167 Brabazon («Queen Mary в воздухе»), от первого в мире коммерческого реактивного авиалайнера DH.106 Comet до легендарного сверхзвукового «Конкорда». Издание иллюстрировано эксклюзивными фотографиями самолетов британской гражданской авиации.

За последние десятилетия подходы в мире к управлению аэропортами значительно изменились. Идет процесс активного привлечения частного сектора к их работе и управлению. Аэропорты перестали быть просто физическими объектами, обслуживающими авиакомпании. Они становятся сложными коммерческими субъектами, которые выстраивают свои отношения с множеством пользователей. Даже аэропорты, принадлежащие государству, ставят перед собой, в первую очередь, коммерческие цели и больше ориентируются на получение прибыли. Разумеется, это не делает требования к обеспечению безопасности менее значимыми, напротив, в связи с ростом террористических угроз эти требования усиливаются. Международные организации и государства тщательно следят за этим и развивают соответствующую нормативную базу. Однако есть еще коммерческая часть работы аэропорта, которой государство уделяет меньше внимания, чем вопросам безопасности. Соответственно аэропорты в этой части более самостоятельны и вольны сами устанавливать нормы и правила взаимоотношений со своими пользователями. В формате PDF A4 сохранен издательский макет.

Представляем вашему вниманию бесценное учебное пособие для чиновников всех рангов и мастей, всех времен и народов – аудиоверсию книги Эраста Петровича Перцова «Искусство брать взятки». С выходом аудиокниги совершенствовать и оттачивать мастерство взяточничества стало возможным в любом месте и в любое время: во время совещаний, по дороге на работу или домой, в спортзале и на отдыхе. В пособии содержится подробная классификация взяток, инструкция по их получению, а также советы, как избежать возможного наказания. Ведь в таком важном и ответственном деле важна каждая мелочь, даже выражение лица взяткополучателя: «…Будьте суровы с просителем до той самой минуты, когда он прошепчет, что будет вам благодарен: тогда да оживятся вдруг все черты лица вашего, да просветлеет взор, и грубый голос да смягчится плавностию и чувством речи; отвечайте доброму просителю, что имеете много занятий, что дело его еще далеко от очереди, что вам некогда было рассмотреть онаго, и заключите сии фразы советом: почаще наведываться…» По мнению автора « книга порадует добрых людей, желающих отечеству своему блага, и огорчит тех, в чье будто бы наставление она писана. Если огорчит, – то нравственная цель сочинения достижена как нельзя лучше». От себя же напомним, что в Российском государстве XVI-XVII вв. существовал запрет только на посулы – взятки судьям. Все иные «государевы люди» на местах (равно как и белое духовенство) не получали жалования и кормились только за счёт того, что им приносили челобитники (в случае духовенства – паства). И еще Петр I говорил, что человек, представленный к деньгам, не воровать не может. В чем мы с вами, к сожалению, постоянно убеждаемся сами. Аудиокнига рекомендована Лекторием «Родная речь» в качестве учебного пособия. Эраст Петрович Перцов казанский помещик, выпускник Московского университетского благородного пансиона, чиновник и литератор. В конце 1820-х годов, служа в Петербурге, он общался с А. С. Пушкиным, П. А. Вяземским, сотрудничал в «Северной пчеле». Именно тогда наблюдения над бытом и нравами столичного чиновничества подвигли его к написанию сатиры «Искусство брать взятки». Позднее Перцов переехал в Казань, где подружился с Е. А. Баратынским, отзывавшимся о нём как о «человеке очень умном и очень образованном, с решительным талантом». В то время Эраст Петрович Перцов считался «одним из двигателей местной общественной жизни, первым затейщиком всяких литературных чтений, любительских спектаклей, концертов и пикников». Как доказал Н. Я. Эйдельман, Перцов являлся одним из тайных корреспондентов А. И. Герцена, собирал и переправлял за границу материалы для «Колокола», за что в августе 1861 года был арестован и допрошен, но сумел отвести от себя подозрения. Жизнь Эраста Петровича окончилась трагически: в возрасте шестидесяти восьми лет автор сатирического руководства для взяточников покончил с собой «вследствие совершенного расстройства денежных дел»… «Искусство брать взятки» – самая известная книга Э. П. Перцова, ставшая трудно находимой сразу же по поступлении в продажу, ибо в Расее это занятие было актуально всегда!

Covers critical infrastructure protection, providing a rigorous treatment of risk, resilience, complex adaptive systems, and sector dependence Wide in scope, this classroom-tested book is the only one to emphasize a scientific approach to protecting the key infrastructures components of a nation. It analyzes the complex network of entities that make up a nation's infrastructure, and identifies vulnerabilities and risks in various sectors by combining network science, complexity theory, risk analysis, and modeling and simulation. This approach reduces the complex problem of protecting water supplies, energy pipelines, telecommunication stations, power grid, and Internet and Web networks to a much simpler problem of protecting a few critical nodes. The new third edition of Critical Infrastructure Protection in Homeland Security: Defending a Networked Nation incorporates a broader selection of ideas and sectors than the previous book. Divided into three sections, the first part looks at the historical origins of homeland security and critical infrastructure, and emphasizes current policy. The second examines theory and foundations, highlighting risk and resilience in the context of complexity theory, network science, and the prevailing theories of catastrophe. The last part covers the individual sectors, including communications, internet, cyber threats, information technology, social networks, SCADA, water and water treatment, energy, and more. Covers theories of catastrophes, details of how sectors work, and how to deal with the problem of critical infrastructure protection’s enormity and complexity Places great emphasis on computer security and whole-community response Includes PowerPoint slides for use by lecturers, as well as an instructor's guide with answers to exercises Offers five robust appendices that augment the non-mathematical chapters with more rigorous explanations and mathematics Critical Infrastructure Protection in Homeland Security, Third Edition is an important book for upper-division undergraduates and first-year graduate students in political science, history, public administration, and computer technology.

This book addresses the steps needed to monitor health assessment systems and the anticipation of their failures: choice and location of sensors, data acquisition and processing, health assessment and prediction of the duration of residual useful life. The digital revolution and mechatronics foreshadowed the advent of the 4.0 industry where equipment has the ability to communicate. The ubiquity of sensors (300,000 sensors in the new generations of aircraft) produces a flood of data requiring us to give meaning to information and leads to the need for efficient processing and a relevant interpretation. The process of traceability and capitalization of data is a key element in the context of the evolution of the maintenance towards predictive strategies.

From ideal (theoretical) cycles to practical cycles and real cycles, it gradually increases in degree of complexity so that newcomers can learn and advance at a logical pace, and so instructors can tailor their courses toward each class level. To facilitate the transition from one type of cycle to another, it offers readers additional material covering fundamental engineering science principles in mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and thermochemistry. Fundamentals of Heat Engines: Reciprocating and Gas Turbine Internal-Combustion Engines begins with a review of some fundamental principles of engineering science, before covering a wide range of topics on thermochemistry. It next discusses theoretical aspects of the reciprocating piston engine, starting with simple air-standard cycles, followed by theoretical cycles of forced induction engines, and ending with more realistic cycles that can be used to predict engine performance as a first approximation. Lastly, the book looks at gas turbines and covers cycles with gradually increasing complexity to end with realistic engine design-point and off-design calculations methods. Covers two main heat engines in one single reference Teaches heat engine fundamentals as well as advanced topics Includes comprehensive thermodynamic and thermochemistry data Offers customizable content to suit beginner or advanced undergraduate courses and entry-level postgraduate studies in automotive, mechanical, and aerospace degrees Provides representative problems at the end of most chapters, along with a detailed example of piston-engine design-point calculations Features case studies of design-point calculations of gas turbine engines in two chapters Fundamentals of Heat Engines can be adopted for mechanical, aerospace, and automotive engineering courses at different levels and will also benefit engineering professionals in those fields and beyond.

This book covers the design and optimization of computer networks applying a rigorous optimization methodology, applicable to any network technology. It is organized into two parts. In Part 1 the reader will learn how to model network problems appearing in computer networks as optimization programs, and use optimization theory to give insights on them. Four problem types are addressed systematically – traffic routing, capacity dimensioning, congestion control and topology design. Part 2 targets the design of algorithms that solve network problems like the ones modeled in Part 1. Two main approaches are addressed – gradient-like algorithms inspiring distributed network protocols that dynamically adapt to the network, or cross-layer schemes that coordinate the cooperation among protocols; and those focusing on the design of heuristic algorithms for long term static network design and planning problems. Following a hands-on approach, the reader will have access to a large set of examples in real-life technologies like IP, wireless and optical networks. Implementations of models and algorithms will be available in the open-source Net2Plan tool from which the user will be able to see how the lessons learned take real form in algorithms, and reuse or execute them to obtain numerical solutions. An accompanying link to the author’s own Net2plan software enables readers to produce numerical solutions to a multitude of real-life problems in computer networks (www.net2plan.com).

Rheology is fundamentally important in food manufacturing in two major senses. Understanding the way in which a substance moves and behaves is essential in order to be able to transport and mix it during processing. Secondly, the rheology of a product dictates much of the consumer experience, e.g. in relation to texture and mouthfeel. This book doesn’t overwhelm the reader with complex mathematical equations but takes a simple and practically-focused approach, interpreting the implications of rheological data for use in different food systems. Through this approach industry-based food developers / rheologists, students, and academics are given clear, concise interpretation of rheological data which directly relates to actual perceived functionality in the food. The functionality may relate to texture, structure and mouthfeel, and may result as a function of temperature, pH, flocculation, concentration effects, and mixing. The interpretative view is based on the principle that the food rheologist will produce a graph, for example of viscosity or gelation profiling, and then have to extract a practical meaning from it. For example, if viscosity falls with time as a function of pH, this knowledge can be used to tell the customer that the viscosity can be followed with just a pH meter and a stopwatch. Rheological measurements have shown that once the pH has dropped 1 unit after 10 minutes, the viscosity has been halved. This is the type of practical and valuable information for customers of the industrial food rheologist which the book will enable readers to access. Key features: A uniquely practical approach to the often difficult science of food rheology Includes chapters introducing the basics of food rheology before moving on to how data can be usefully and easily interpreted by the food scientist Can be used as a teaching aid on academic or industry-based courses

Decision making by the aircrafts services of the international airport, which provides for intensive traffic of aircraft and their ground handling, becomes a very topical issue. If earlier it was believed that the intensity is provided only by the number of runways, nowadays a large accumulation of aircraft on the airport platform-field creates equally complex difficulties in comparison with aircraft take-offs and landings. Solving such problems with the use of «crisp methods» of queuing theory gives little. This article deals with modern «fuzzy methods» based on simulation modeling and fuzzy logic.
