The Influence of Errors in Visualization Systems on the Level of Safety Threat in Air Traffic by Paweł Ferduła, Jacek Skorupski

“…It has been found that the key role for the proper operation of the air traffic visualization system and the restoration of full situational awareness is played by self-diagnostic systems that can restore the system’s correct functioning without even the controller being aware of the error occurrence. Their role in ensuring safety might be even greater than redundancy which is commonly used.…”

Matematical modeling of the process of enlarging the austenitic grain during high-temperature heating of alloy structural steel by V. A. Kukareko, B. M. Gatsuro, A. N. Grigorchik, A. N. Chichin

“…A phenomenological model describing the mechanism of formation and growth of austenitic grains in steels under heating at different speeds is developed.It is concluded that the slow heating of steels in the interval of phase a®g transformation contributes to the formation of a complex of small austenite grains separated by high angle boundaries with adsorbed on them by impurity atoms, which ensures higher resistance grain structure to coalescence and reduce the rate of migration of the boundaries during prolonged hightemperature austenization.…”
