He was the Rector of Moscow Power Engineering Institute (MPEI) in 1990–2005 and since 2006 he has been an Advisor to Rector of MPEI.

Biography 
Evgeni Viktorovich Ametistov was born in Krasnodar. In 1960 he graduated from Kuban State Agrarian University, and in 1965—from Moscow Power Engineering Institute, where he has been working since then: he was consistently a Post-graduate, Assistant, Assistant Professor and Professor.

In 1975, a new Department of cryogenic technology was established in MPEI (now it is called the Department of Low Temperatures) where the study of processes of boiling cryogenic liquids began under the leadership of Valentin Grigoriev. In early 1980s, Ametistov also started to study methods of obtaining systems of monodisperse particles and transport processes inside them. Evgeni Ametistov also took active part in this research; in 1985, Evgeni Ametistov, Valentin Grigoriev and Yury Pavlov were awarded the USSR State Prize in the field of science and technology.

In 1985 (when Grigoriev, who was then the Rector of MPEI and also the Head of Cryogenic Technology Department, was invited to work for CPSU Central Committee), Ametistov was appointed Head of the department and directed it until 2006 (in 2000 the Center for High Temperatures of MPEI was established on the basis of this department and Evgeni Ametistov also was appointed its scientific supervisor). In 1986-1990 he also worked as a Deputy Rector of MPEI on scientific work. In 1990 Ametisitov was elected as a new head of the Institute and held this position until 2005. Since 2006, he has been an Advisor to Rector of MPEI.

He is also the vice-president of International Energy Academy and author and co-author of more than 150 scientific publications.

Leonid Biberman. Leonid Mikhailovich Biberman (; 7 April 1915, Poti — 23 September 1998, Moscow) was a Soviet and Russian physicist and a Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (1991). He was one of the founders of the Thermophysics research school in the Soviet Union.

Biography 
Leonid Mikhailovich Biberman graduated from Moscow Power Engineering Institute (MPEI) in 1940, specializing in Electro-Vacuum technology. In January 1941 he entered the postgraduate course of Moscow Power Engineering Institute. His scientific advisor was Valentin Fabrikant.

He fought in Great Patriotic War from 1941 to 1945 in the rank of Technician-Lieutenant, and was the head of the workshop of a communications battalion.

In 1945, he was reinstated in the post-graduate course of Moscow Power Engineering Institute and began teaching part-time there at the Department of Physics. Since 1946, he had been a Consultant of the All-Union Electrotechnical Institute.

Candidate of Sciences (1946), Doctor of Science (1959).

In the second half of the 1950s, Leonid Biberman took on a complicated physicotechnical problem: the development of the theory of radiative heat transfer. In 1955–1957 Biberman managed to show in his papers that when a space vehicle moves through dense layers of the atmosphere, the shock wave radiation in front of the apparatus generates a significant, and at high velocities, the principal contribution to aerodynamic heating. The results of this research were used in calculations for the thermal insulation of Soviet space vehicles.

In 1966 he started working at Joint Institute for High Temperatures. He substantiated the establishment of a high-temperature research group, which became the basis of the Theoretical Division of the Institute of High Temperatures of the USSR Academy of Sciences. This scientific school was later named after him. He was a scientific advisor of more than 20 Doctors of Sciences.

He died on 23 September 1998 in Moscow and was buried at Vagankovo Cemetery.

Wieland Group. The Wieland Group is a manufacturer of semi-finished products in copper and copper alloys. The group of companies with Wieland-Werke AG as the ultimate parent company is organized into four business units. Since its foundation, the company’s headquarters has been located in Ulm. The Wieland Group has production sites in Asia, Europe and the USA.

History 
Philipp Jakob Wieland took over his uncle’s fine art and bell foundry in Ulm’s Rosengasse in 1820 and by 1828 he was producing brass sheet and wire. Around 1900, he also started to produce rods, tubes and sections. In 1865, the company started production at the new Vöhringen plant using hydropower from the River Iller.

In 1919, the OHG (Offene Handelsgesellschaft, open trading company) converted into Wieland-Werke AG. This was followed by the development of new technology and machinery as well as the acquisition of additional plants. In 1945, the Ulm plant was largely destroyed by bombs. At the Vöhringen plant, several production facilities were dismantled. After reconstruction, the company expanded its production capacity in the 1950s and 60s and established a worldwide production and sales organization. Today, the Wieland Group consists of approx. 60 companies (manufacturing plants, slitting centers and trading companies) in 40 countries.

In 1834, Philipp Jakob Wieland set up a factory health insurance, today’s Wieland BKK. He also cared for the families and relatives of his factory workers. He built workers’ houses that still exist on the edge of the Vöhringen plant as well as “hygienic facilities”, i.e. bathhouses with tubs and showers. Around 1900, a day nursery was established in Ulm to counteract the high infant mortality rate. The nursery was under the protectorate of Queen Charlotte, with the wife of the factory owner Max Wieland being a nursery board member.

In July 2019, the Wieland Group merged with Global Brass and Copper Holdings, Inc., a North American manufacturer and distributor of specialized non-ferrous products, which grows the company to over 90 locations with 9,000 employees and a revenue of 5 billion euros.

Economic Data 
 Majority shareholder: Schwenk Group, Ulm

 *On July 1, 2019 the American semi-finished products manufacturer GBC (Global Brass & Copper) was acquired by the Wieland Group.

Tribosystem. A tribosystem is a tribological system that consists of at least two contacting bodies and any environmental factor that affects their interaction. Tribologists study tribological systems in detail, and devise tribological test procedures.

Definition 
According to ASTM G40-17, a tribosystem is "any system that contains one or more triboelements, including all mechanical, chemical, and environmental factors relevant to tribological behavior." Here, triboelement refers to "one of two or more solid bodies that comprise a sliding, rolling, or abrasive contact, or a body subjected to impingement or cavitation."

More simply speaking, a tribosystem is a tribological system that consists of at least two contacting bodies, including the environment in which the interaction takes place. The complete description of a tribosystem includes all relevant factors that govern the tribological behavior of the system. Thus, depending on the aim of the tribological analysis, the tribosystem boundary is flexible and can be drawn more or less widely.

Describing Tribosystems 
The description of tribosystems is based on a detailed assessment of relevant system inputs, outputs and losses, as well as an overall description of the system structure. The following table gives an overview.

Relevance 
The complete description of a tribosystem is the first step when devising a tribological test procedure. Since tribological tests are often carried out on simplified model systems using standardized tribometers, a complete description of the tribosystem allows for tribological testing across different scales.

For example, if the tribological analysis aims to investigate a specific gear contact in a complex gearbox, exact knowledge of tribological inputs allows tribologists to devise a simplified test setup involving two gears only. Conversely, if the analysis aims to develop a new lubricant formulation for gearbox applications, a rough description of the gearbox-tribosystem allows to reduce testing to relevant system inputs. Thus, detailed knowledge of the tribosystem can significantly reduce the development effort for machines and lubricants.
