A highly strained Al-Al σ-bond in dianionic aluminum analog of oxirane for molecule activation by Koshino, Kota, Kinjo, Rei

“…The structure of 2 has been unambiguously ascertained by spectroscopic analysis as well as X-ray crystallography, and computational studies revealed that 2 bears a highly strained Al-Al σ-bond. 2 readily reacts with the unsaturated substrates such as isocyanide, ethylene, and ketone, concomitant with the cleavage of the Al-Al σ-bond under mild conditions, leading to the four- and five-membered heterocycles 3-5. …”

Human factors evaluation of conflict resolution aid in future air traffic control by Pereira, Theresse Vanessa

“…In 1929, the airport operator employed him to prevent collisions between aircrafts and his tools of communication were simply a red flag to indicate “hold” and a checked one for “go”. With the advancement of technology over the next few decades, high tech equipment were integrated into air traffic control, such as the radar, to meet the growing number of flights as more people turned to aeroplanes as a means of commercial transport. …”
