BACKGROUND Many authors have advocated the diffusion of innovations from other high-risk industries into health care to improve safety. The aviation industry is comparable to health care because of its similarities in (a) the use of technology, (b) the requirement of highly specialized professional teams, and (c) the existence of risk and uncertainties. For almost 20 years, The Rotterdam Eye Ho...

To date, several investigations have considered the prospect of enhanced dissipation of a vortex pair due to elliptic (short wave) instabilities. Recent studies indicate that these modes have the potential to significantly reduce the time taken to dissipate vortex pairs. This has generated interest in the aviation industry, where aircraft trailing wakes pose a significant hazard for nearby airc...

Recently, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has received considerable attention and is considered to be the next wave of information technology revolution. The number of RFID applications in different industries is increasing continuously. Cumulative sales of RFID tag is up in 2006 which shows RFID adoption trend in industries to improve their efficiency of operations and to gain a competit...

Introduction An increasing amount of research is being done on the topic of internationalization and localization of communication products. However, much of the focus is on the world of Information Technology. While that is certainly critical, especially in this era of web-based communication, the consideration of character sets supported by a particular operating system and expansion of text ...

This research proposes a generalized product planning and forecasting model to be used in product development projects in avionics industry. The model is based on a specific application that focuses on cockpit weather information systems (CWIS), a new group of aviation products. CWIS are information systems located in the aircraft cockpit providing weather information to the pilot via data link...
