The plane has become a convenient method of transportation. main idea aviation in the 21st century is safety passengers and crew. But human always inclined towards comfort. structural parametric analysis long-haul aircraft development made it possible to form concept fuselage layout with capsule accommodation passengers. proposed variant accommodation, designed for Boeing 777-200LR, can be inst...

Air distribution systems in commercial aircraft cabins are important for providing a healthy and comfortable environment for passengers and crew. The mixing air distribution systems used in existing aircraft cabins create a uniform air temperature distribution and dilute contaminants in the cabins. The mixing air distribution systems could spread infectious airborne diseases. To improve the air...

Possible exposure to TriCresyl Phosphates (TCPs) has led to concerns among airline crew members. One isomer, Tri-ortho-Cresyl Phosphate (ToCP) is known to be neurotoxic and exposure to ToCP via contaminated cabin air has been suggested to be associated with the alleged Aerotoxic syndrome. The symptoms associated with Aerotoxic syndrome are diverse, including headaches, loss of balance, numbness...

A 'faecal accident' was discovered in front of a passenger cabin of a cruise ship. After proper cleaning of the area the passenger was approached, but denied having any gastrointestinal symptoms. However, when confronted with surveillance camera evidence, she admitted having the accident and even bringing the towel stained with diarrhoea back to the pool towels bin. She was isolated until the n...

kill, or sell food animals, and persons who prepare and serve food. (More than one third of the cases in China with onset of SARS before February 1, 2003, were in food handlers [3].); 2) public transportation workers and airline crew (4); and 3) laboratory workers handling samples or items contaminated with SARS-associated coronavirus (5). In Singapore, 2 taxi drivers were infected after ferryi...

On a recent holiday, one of the authors was asked to lend medical assistance to a passenger on the flight out and another on the flight back. Anecdotally, it appears that other doctors are also being asked more often than previously. This led us to investigate the area more closely. About three quarters of in-flight emergencies are managed by cabin crew but in the remaining situations it is off...

This paper introduces an eecient adaptation of the branch-and-bound technique that solves real-world rostering problems for airline crews. The eeciency of the algorithm is based on the exploitation of rostering-speciic properties (e.g. variable selection, branching strategy and cutting-planes), an approach that shortens the solution process and outperforms standard techniques. Furthermore, we f...
