Progress in the Surface Protection Technology of Aerospace Ultra-High Strength Steel by YANG Cheng, YE Bing, MA Yue, ZHANG Maoda, AN Mingdong, GAO Qiang, ZHOU Fei

“…Ultra-high strength steel has both high strength and high toughness，making it an important load-bearing component in the aerospace industry， and thus it has a wide range of applications in aircraft landing gear， main beams， transmission components， load-bearing bolts， and other fields.Due to its frequent exposure to marine atmospheric environments during use， corrosion is quite severe.Through surface protection，the corrosion resistance， wear resistance and other properties of ultra-high-strength steel could be improved，which further extended the service life of the relevant parts.Herein， for the current commonly used several surface protection technologies (thermal spraying， vacuum plating，electroplating， chemical plating， surface tissue transformation， laser cladding， ion implantation， etc.)， this paper reviewed the impact of these surface protection methods on different ultra-high strength steels in terms of abrasion，corrosion resistance，hydrogen embrittlement，fatigue and other aspects.Besides， the advantages and disadvantages of these methods were analyzed， and the prospects were made for its future development direction.…”

Culturele voorzieningen en stadsontwikkeling: het centrum voor hedendaagse kunst WIELS als voorbode van de veranderingslogica’s van een volkswijk? by Simon Debersaques

“…In this article, we attempt to understand how WIELS contributes to urban development through culture. By combining different qualitative methods, it is clear that although WIELS was initially caught in a conflict between property income and openness towards its neighbourhood, certain tangible and discursive elements might prompt us to consider WIELS as one of the components in the formation of a new creative metropolitan centrality.…”

Cyclic Model and Map for Estimating Predictive Potential of Prognostic-Planning Methodology Development by Yu. I. Busheneva

“…The article states that in our country considerable experience has been gained in forecasting and planning work, the formation of which is based on certain methodological approaches that undergo transformation at different historical stages. The purpose of the article is to assess the features of the development of the forecasting and planning methodology of the domestic national economy in various historical periods of time.Based on the analysis of historical facts, the author’s expert assessment and graphic modeling techniques, a cyclic model and a map for assessing the predictive development potential of the forecasting and planning methodology of the domestic national economy are developed, which differs by identifying the stages in the development of forecasted and planned work depending on the nature of the obligatory execution, the depth of the impact of forecasts and plans for economic development, resource methods, predictability of the future.The results of the study can be applied in the activities of government to improve the quality of forecasting and planning work, to determine the turning points of phase shifts in the development of the forecasting and planning methodology.…”
