Every ten years ICAO holds a worldwide air transport conference. The most recent such event - the 6th Worldwide Air Transport Conference (ATConf/6) - was held in Montreal from 18 to 22 March 2013. The questions posed by this book are: are the "clerical and administrative tasks" for ICAO which were decided on by ATConf/6 (and other preceding conferences) sufficient to meet the needs of the people of the world for safe, regular, economical and efficient air transport? Should ICAO not think outside of its 67-year-old box and become a beacon to air transport regulators? In other words, shouldn't the bottom line of ICAO's meaning and purpose in the field of air transport be to analyze trends and guide the air transport industry instead of continuing to merely act as a forum for global practitioners to gather and update information on their respective countries' policies for air transport? Shouldn't ICAO provide direction, as do other agencies of the United Nations? This book addresses ICAO's inability, unlike most other specialized agencies in their missions, to make a tangible difference in air transport development, through a discussion of key issues affecting the air transport industry. It also inquires into the future of air transport regulation.

This book is about the ways in which the development of technology impacts and is impacted by metaphysics - by abstract ideological currents and undercurrents that populate the environment in which the technology develops. The emphasis here is on the history of flight, both atmospheric flight and space flight. Much has been written and said about the interaction between the development of science (rather than technology) and ideology, or "metaphysics." Examples include the development of astronomy and geography, in terms of how these have been impacted by prevailing theories about the structure of the Solar System and Earth's status in it. Another example is represented by the diverging theories of evolution, which have deeply impacted biology, environmental sciences, and more. Both of the above ideological/scientific divergences were of course deeply anchored in religious beliefs and impacted them. In order to expand the same argument regarding the interface between science and metaphysics, and also apply it to the technology/metaphysics domain, we delve into the differences between science and technology. The bulk of this book centers on aviation and space-flight technologies, and attempts to place those in the context of abstract ideologies and ideas that surrounded their development at the time. Why the choice of those particular technological domains of all the huge variety of technologies that have developed in the last two centuries since the Industrial Revolution? The latter, in a way, served as a starting line for an unfathomable wave of technological innovation and merging of technology with society in its broadest sense.

Neu strukturierte und praxistaugliche Herangehensweise zur Einfuhrung und Umsetzung von schlanken LogistikprozessenBerichte von Unternehmen zu konkreten MethodenErgebnisse aus dem Forschungsprojekt LEAN:logAls groter Wirtschaftszweig der deutschen Industrie versucht gerade die Automobilindustrie in den letzten Jahren verstarkt der Volatilitat der Markte mit der Einfuhrung von schlanken Produktionssystemen zu begegnen. Die Konzentration auf Wertschopfung verbunden mit der konsequenten Vermeidung von Verschwendung wird dabei vor allem in produzierenden Bereichen seit langerer Zeit mit hochster Konsequenz verfolgt. Dies fuhrt zu erhohten Anforderungen an die Logistik, die auch unter den neuen Rahmenbedingungen sowohl effektiv als auch effizient arbeiten muss. Das methodische Vorgehen, aber auch die praktische Anwendung schlanker Logistiksysteme sind heute jedoch noch weit weniger entwickelt als im Bereich Lean Production, auch wenn eine leistungsstarke und flexible Logistik sich in den letzten Jahren als entscheidender Wettbewerbsvorteil weltweit agierender Wertschopfungsnetzwerke abzeichnet.Im Forschungsprojekt LEAN:log wurde am Lehrstuhl fur Fordertechnik Materialfluss Logistik der TU Munchen gemeinsam mit Projektpartnern ausgewahlter Unternehmen eine strukturierte und praxistaugliche Herangehensweise zur Umsetzung schlanker Logistikprozesse entwickelt. Das so entstandene Phasenmodell unterstutzt Unternehmen von der ersten Idee bis zum unternehmensweiten kontinuierlichen Verbesserungsprozess, indem es detailliert aufschlusselt, wann im Rahmen einer Transformation zu Lean Logistics welche Veranderungsschritte durchgefuhrt werden sollten, wie konkret vorgegangen werden muss, welche Methoden und Werkzeuge zur Hilfe genommen werden konnen und welche Menschen im Unternehmen wann einzubinden sind.Ziel dieses Buches ist es, den Unternehmen, die sich auf den Weg machen mochten, ihre Logistik lean zu gestalten, ein erprobtes Vorgehen an die Hand zu geben, an dem sie sich orientieren konnen. So konnen die richtigen Veranderungen zum richtigen Zeitpunkt sowie in einer strukturierten und standardisierten Weise angestoen werden, um Lean Logistics geradliniger, schneller und nachhaltiger im Unternehmen zu verankern.In diesem Buch berichten 21 Autoren von den spezifischen Herausforderungen und Hurden in allen Phasen einer Lean-Einfuhrung und beleuchten dabei die Schwerpunkte Prozesse, Technik und Mensch.

"Sky Alert! What Happens When Satellites Fail" explores for the first time what our modern world would be like if we were suddenly to lose most, if not all, of our space assets. The author demonstrates humankind's dependence on space satellites and show what might happen to various aspects of our economy, defense, and daily lives if they were suddenly destroyed. The book opens with a consideration of how our space assets might be lost in the first place: through orbital debris, war, and solar storms. The author then looks at what would happen if our satellites were lost, including the effect on weather forecasting, and the Global Positioning System, explaining GPS in detail and its importance to the military, including spy satellites and military reconnaissance, commerce, civilians, communications and remote sensing - both resource monitoring and locating and environmental monitoring and science. The effects of losing such assets as the International Space Station as well as such research satellites as the Hubble Space Telescope or the Chandra X-Ray Observatory are also considered. Part III of the book looks at how we can protect our satellites, preparing for the worst, reducing the growth and amount of orbital debris, preventing acts of war in space and hardening against space radiation. The book ends on an optimistic note: most spacefaring nations are now working together to develop new technologies to reduce the threat posed by orbital debris and in-space nuclear detonations and treaties exist to limit the development and use of weapons in space. Finally, it is hoped that it will not be long before we will be able to better predict and take precautions against solar storms. The global economy has now become so dependent upon satellites that their loss would be devastating - to the economy, to national security, and potentially, to the day-to-day survival of those who live in the world's most advanced economies.
