Taylor & Francis Inc The Innovation Tools Handbook Volume 1
Book SynopsisIn todayâs fast-moving, high-technology environment, the focus on quality has given way to a focus on innovation. From presidents of the United States to presidents of Fortune 500 companies, it is clear that everyone thinks innovation is extremely important. The challenge is that few people stop to define why innovation is importantâto understand whatâs driving the need for more innovation. We all agree that more frequent innovation is important, even necessary. What remains unanswered is why we allow innovation consultants, elected officials, and business leaders to tell us innovation is important, but not demonstrate the underlying reasons why.The three volumes of The Innovation Tools Handbook cover 76 top-rated tools and methods, from the hundreds available, that every innovator must master to be successful. Volume I covers 24 creative tools/methodologies most frequently used to change an organizationâs structure and Table of ContentsAgile Innovation. Benchmarking. Business Case Development.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Understanding and Preventing Falls An Ergonomics
Book SynopsisReadable and authoritative, Understanding and Preventing Falls provides a guide to the nature and extent of the problem of falls. Drawing on the latest research, the authors outline the combination of environmental factors that commonly lead to falls and explore how to prevent them. The case is made for a multifaceted approach to falls prevention, taking account of the complex interplay that exists between individuals and the environment. Broad in scope, the book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the current state of knowledge and understanding of the causes and prevention of falls, with chapters on human ambulation and balance on level surfaces and on steps and stairs followed by chapters exploring vision and the effects of aging. Rounding out the coverage, the second part contains a series of case studies illustrating how falls occur in different circumstances and varying approaches to their prevention. While there have been reductionTable of ContentsIntroduction. Walking on the Level: Footwear and the Walking Surface. Steps and Stairs. Role of Vision in Falls. Ageing and Falls.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Scaled Worlds Development Validation and
Book SynopsisA major transformation in research and training is expected, using new, more advanced versions of computer-based systems. Technology now affords new capabilities: complex and distributed expert decisionmaking and team performance can now be elicited and rehearsed through affordable and easily distributed systems. These new systems will transform research and training on two fronts. It will allow research needed to bridge the gap between internal (i.e. laboratory control) and external (e.g. operational relevance) validity. In addition, it enables a coalition of forces, from training instructors and their students, to research scientists and quantitative performance modelers. While simulation-based research and training is rapidly advancing, with increased funding and sponsorship, as yet there is no comprehensive documentation of tools and techniques. This book addresses the problem, bringing together experts from a variety of perspectives. Their contributions document emerging trendsTrade Review'...an important book for anyone interested in the use of scaled worlds as a tool for psychological research.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Advances in Aviation Psychology
Book SynopsisAviation remains one of the most active and challenging domains for human factors and applied psychology. Since 1981, the biennial International Symposium on Aviation Psychology (ISAP) has been convened for the purposes of (a) presenting the latest research on human performance problems and opportunities within aviation systems, (b) envisioning design solutions that best utilize human capabilities for creating safe and efficient aviation systems, and (c) bringing together scientists, research sponsors, and operators in an effort to bridge the gap between research and application. Though rooted in the presentations of the 17th ISAP, held in 2013 in Dayton, Ohio, Advances in Aviation Psychology is not simply a collection of selected proceeding papers. Based upon the potential impact on emerging trends, current debates or enduring issues present in their work, select authors were invited to expand on their work following the benefit of interactions at the symposium. The invited authorsTrade Review"This collection of selected symposium papers provides a representative cross-section of the field of aviation psychology and gives readers a good sense of current issues, research progress, and continuing challenges. The keynote addresses provide insightful overviews of several critical topics, and the individual papers illustrate the various research approaches being taken, the power and limitations of those approaches, and the current state of knowledge for a wide range of topics." - Key Dismukes "The editors have created an exceptional selection of chapters ranging from state-of-the-art syntheses to data-driven empirical studies. The raw materials were provided by the 2013 Ohio Symposium on Aviation Psychology. Many conference proceedings lack coherence and consistency but this collection exceeds expectations. Beginning with a fascinating historical overview by the editors the papers cover a number of topical issues including NextGen, ecological interface design and selection and training. Leveson's chapter on system safety is a particular standout. Many of the authors are key figures in their areas and their chapters provide essential reading for anyone with an interest in aviation psychology and human factors. There is a notable geographical diversity of contributions with half-a-dozen chapters authored by European experts. This is far more than an ad hoc collection of conference presentations but is a well-thought out and carefully crafted guide to the latest developments in aviation psychology." - David O'Hare, University of Otago, New ZealandTable of ContentsPart I: Aviation Psychology; Chapter 1: Aviation Psychology: Optimizing Human and System Performance; Chapter 2: Applying Systems Thinking to Aviation Psychology; Chapter 3: An Earthbound Perspective on Orientation Illusions Experienced in Aerospace Flight; Part II: Next Generation Air Space and Air Traffic Control; Chapter 4: NASA NextGen Flight Deck Research: A Database of Research Areas and Results; Chapter 5: Flight Deck Models of Workload and Multitasking: An Overview of Validation; Chapter 6: Clarifying Cognitive Complexity and Controller Strategies in Disturbed Inbound Peak Air Traffic Control Operations; Chapter 7: Ecological Flight Deck Design—The World Behind the Glass; Chapter 8: Risk Perception in Ecological Information Systems; Part III: Pilot Factors for Air and Ground-based Operations; Chapter 9: Implications of Text Chat for Air Crew Communication and Coordination; Chapter 10: Human-centered Automation as Effective Work Design; Chapter 11: Enhancing Military Helicopter Pilot Assistant Systems Through Resource Adaptive Dialogue Management; Chapter 12: Individual Pilot Factors Predict Runway Incursion Outcomes; Part IV: Training and Selection; Chapter 13: Synthetic Task Environments and the Three-Body Problem 1; Chapter 14: Enhancing Management of Complex and Unforeseen Situations Among Pilots: New Trends in Cognitive-Adaptation Training; Chapter 15: Distribution of Attention as a Function of Time: A Different Approach to Measure a Specific Aspect of Situation Awareness
