The Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook has been prepared in recognition of the importance of weight and balance technology in conducting safe and efficient flight. The objective of this handbook is twofold: to provide the airframe and powerplant mechanic (A&P) with the method of determining the empty weight and empty weight center of gravity (EWCG) of an aircraft and to furnish the flight crew with information on loading and operating the aircraft to ensure its weight is within the allowable limit and the center of gravity (CG) is within the allowable range.

The Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook–General (FAA-H-8083-30B) was developed as one of a series of three handbooks for persons preparing for mechanic certification with airframe or powerplant ratings, or both. It is intended that this handbook will provide basic information on principles, fundamentals, and technical procedures in the subject matter areas common to both the airframe and powerplant ratings. Emphasis in this volume is on theory and methods of application.

This book explains the wetting of surfaces by fluids or their dewetting plays an important role in numerous processes in production engineering, energy technology and process engineering. However, the mutual influences between the dynamic wetting and dewetting processes and the local transport processes in terms of momentum, energy or material are not sufficiently understood and predictable, especially when the fluids and surfaces are complex and the processes are transient. The Collaborative Research Center 1194 of the German Research Foundation (CRC 1194) has derived 5 overarching goals for its research program: (1) In-depth understanding of the relationships and mechanisms of action of local momentum, heat and mass transport processes on wetting properties and vice versa; (2) Development of physically based, mathematical models, numerical methods and freely available simulation programs; (3) Development of high-resolution measurement methods for the experimental analysis of the interactions of transport and wetting processes, including the establishment of new measuring instruments; (4) Demonstration of the possibilities of targeted influencing and optimization of wetting processes by transport processes and vice versa; (5) Exemplary research into new and improved processes for selected, technically relevant applications. To achieve these goals, researchers from different disciplines (engineering, mathematics, natural sciences) work together in the CRC using complementary methods. This allows the processes to be investigated experimentally, theoretically and numerically on different length scales (nano-micro-meso-macro).

​This book discusses various issues of modeling freight and passenger traffic, and explores the common approaches and regional differences. The latter may be a consequence of national legislation or the various approaches that are adopted by scientists around the globe.

This book includes the proceedings of the 19th International Scientific Conference “Energy Management of Municipal Transportation Facilities and Transport EMMFT 2017”, which was held in Khabarovsk, Russia on 10–13 April 2017. The book presents the research findings of scientists working at universities in the Far Eastern, Siberian and Ural Federal Districts of Russia, and of Serbia, which are unique regions notable for sustainably operating complex transport infrastructures in severe climatic and geographic environments. It also offers practical insights into transportation operation under such conditions.
