JO - Applied Catalysis B: Environmental JF - Applied Catalysis B: Environmental Y1 - 2017/05/15/ VL - 205 M3 - Article SP - 489 EP - 497 SN - 09263373 AB - Despite high activity for photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes from water, nanoscale Ag 3 PO 4 photocatalyst particles are difficult to synthesize. As reported in literature, Ag 3 PO 4 particle sizes for photocatalytic degradation of water pollutants are normally larger than 100 nm. This research reports a facile and reproducible method for the synthesis of the ultrafine and uniform Ag 3 PO 4 nanoparticles loaded on the oxygen vacated TiO 2 (TiO 2 -OV) with average particle size as small as 2.6 nm. All obtained Ag 3 PO 4 particles can be completely loaded onto TiO 2 -OV support to form Ag 3 PO 4 /TiO 2 -OV composite photocatalysts. The prepared Ag 3 PO 4 /TiO 2 -OV photocatalyst exhibits much higher visible light photocatalytic activity than those of pure Ag 3 PO 4 or Ag 3 PO 4 /TiO 2 photocatalysts for the degradation of rhodamine b (Rh B) and phenol in water. After depositing thin layers of AgI on Ag 3 PO 4 ultrafine Ag 3 PO 4 nanoparticles, the new AgI-Ag 3 PO 4 /TiO 2 -OV composite photocatalysts not only show much higher photocatalytic activity, but they are also more stable than pure Ag 3 PO 4 catalyst. This new synthesis method will provide guidelines for the preparation of ultrafine nanoparticles and highly active photocatalysts for treatment of water pollution or production of hydrogen from water splitting/reducing.

Uncertainty was propagated through the analysis using Monte Carlo simulations. The six processes assessed were HEFA, advanced fermentation, Fischer-Tropsch, aqueous phase processing, hydrothermal liquefaction, and fast pyrolysis. The results indicate that none of the six processes would be profitable in the absence of government incentives, with HEFA using yellow grease, HEFA using tallow, and FT revealing the lowest mean jet fuel prices at $0.91/liter ($0.66/liter–$1.24/liter), $1.06/liter ($0.79/liter–$1.42/liter), and $1.15/liter ($0.95/liter–$1.39/liter), respectively. This study also quantifies plant performance in the United States with a Renewable Fuel Standard policy analysis. Results indicate that some pathways could achieve positive NPV with relatively high likelihood under existing policy supports, with HEFA and FPH revealing the highest probability of positive NPV at 94.9% and 99.7%, respectively, in the best-case scenario.

AB - Multiple monitors are commonly used in the workplace nowadays. This study compares user productivity and windows management style (WMS) on single- and dual-monitor work stations for engineering tasks of three complexity levels. Four productivity measures including task time, cursor movement, the number of window switches, and the number of mouse clicks were compared. The results showed that dual-monitor setting resulted in significantly less window switches and mouse clicks. Most users preferred dual-monitor setting. To understand how users manage multiple windows in completing their tasks, a new WMS categorization method is proposed, toggler and resizer, and user behavior was categorized into one of these two styles. More users adopted 'toggler' style, but as the task complexity level increased, some 'toggler' style users switched to 'resizer' style.

The use of standard prestressed concrete girder elements which might be spliced in situ has been regarded as an appealing solution. This study investigated the performance of strand lap splices embedded in ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) and their further implementation in structural continuity connections for spliced girder bridges. The results of an initial experimental program suggested that the full development length of 12.7 mm and 15.2 mm diameter unstressed prestressing strands embedded in a steel fiber reinforced UHPC is approximately 510 and 610 mm (40 d s ), respectively. The implementation of the splice strand connection concept for girder spliced bridges was further developed and experimentally assessed. Two full scale box beam tandems were spliced and tested. It was demonstrated that large flexural capacity can be achieved with relatively short lap splice lengths. Approximately 90% of the ultimate flexural capacity estimated for the fully prestressed and continuous girder was reached by the spliced box beam tandem connected using a strand splice length of 762 mm (50 d s ). Additional detailing of the structural system and the reinforcing scheme is discussed to improve the performance of the system in general and the connection in particular.

A pressing question in their response is the amount of horizontal deflection expected under service loads. This paper presents an evaluation of six methods for predicting the lateral deformation of GRS walls and abutments, namely the FHWA, Geoservice, CTI, Jewell-Milligan, Wu, and Adams methods. Field and laboratory performances of 17 GRS walls and abutments are compared with the predicted results from the six methods. A statistical analysis is then used to evaluate the conservativeness, accuracy, and reliability of these methods in predicting the maximum lateral deformation of GRS walls. The Adams method is the most accurate method for predicting the maximum lateral deformation if the amount of vertical deformation is reasonably known. Among the Geoservice, Jewell-Milligan, and Wu methods, which have the ability to predict the lateral deformation of GRS walls at various elevations where reinforcements are located, the Wu method is the most accurate and reliable method for predicting the lateral deformation of GRS walls.

JO - Journal of Immunology JF - Journal of Immunology Y1 - 2017/02// VL - 198 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1183 EP - 1201 SN - 00221767 AB - The respiratory system is a complex network of many cell types, including subsets of macrophages and dendritic cells that work together to maintain steady-state respiration. Owing to limitations in acquiring cells fromhealthy human lung, these subsets remain poorly characterized transcriptionally and phenotypically. We set out to systematically identify these subsets in human airways by developing a schema of isolating large numbers of cells by whole-lung bronchoalveolar lavage. Six subsets of phagocytic APC (HLA-DR+) were consistently observed. Aside from alveolar macrophages, subsets of Langerin+, BDCA1-CD14+, BDCA1+CD14+, BDCA1+CD14-, and BDCA1-CD14- cells were identified. These subsets varied in their ability to internalize Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus anthracis particles. All subsets were more efficient at internalizing S. aureus and B. anthracis compared with E. coli. Alveolar macrophages and CD14+ cells were overall more efficient at particle internalization compared with the four other populations. Subsets were further separated into two groups based on their inherent capacities to upregulate surface CD83, CD86, and CCR7 expression levels. Whole-genome transcriptional profiling revealed a clade of "true dendritic cells" consisting of Langerin+, BDCA1+CD14+, and BDCA1+CD14- cells. The dendritic cell clade was distinct from a macrophage/monocyte clade, as supported by higher mRNA expression levels of several dendritic cell-associated genes, including CD1, FLT3, CX3CR1, and CCR6. Each clade, and each member of both clades, was discerned by specific upregulated genes, which can serve as markers for future studies in healthy and diseased states.

Elsevier Ltd. 2016. AB - This paper performs sensitivity analyses of stopping distance for connected vehicles (CVs) at active highway-rail grade crossings (HRGCs). Stopping distance is the major safety factor at active HRGCs. A sensitivity analysis is performed for each variable in the function of stopping distance. The formulation of stopping distance treats each variable as a probability density function for implementing Monte Carlo simulations. The result of the sensitivity analysis shows that the initial speed is the most sensitive factor to stopping distances of CVs and non-CVs. The safety of CVs can be further improved by the early provision of onboard train information and warnings to reduce the initial speeds.

Due to its inherent flexibility, AM is being considered for a variety of application domains that span new parts, repairs and aftermarket. At the same time, a number of implementation challenges have been identified by multiple researchers and organizations, including the complexity of manufacturing process controls, the questionable applicability of conventional NDI (non-destructive inspection) methods and the lack of industry standards and design allowables, etc. These technical challenges are further exacerbated by the current lack of field experience with AM components as well as limited full-scale production experience, at least in commercial aviation applications. Analysis of historical lessons learned for introduction of new material technologies suggests that appropriate application of fracture mechanics-based damage tolerance (DT) principles can offer an effective risk mitigation mechanism against the inherent material flaws, as well as manufacturing and service-induced defects. This paper outlines an assessment framework for AM parts based on the combination of zoning considerations and probabilistic fracture mechanics. The proposed methodology is discussed in the context of a “system-level” approach to structural integrity of AM components, and is compared and contrasted with established risk mitigation frameworks for other material systems, such as the use of casting factors for cast aircraft components, or probabilistic life prediction systems for powder metallurgy (PM) turbine engine components. Potential implications for regulatory guidance and certification, including linkage between the DT criteria and levels of parts criticality are briefly discussed as well.

From 1997 through 2014, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved an estimated 1500 waivers for insulin-treated diabetes with a total of 450 active waivers as of December 31, 2014. These pilots were involved in 25 accidents, but none were attributed to medical issues. METHODS: Data for the insulin waiver group and control group were obtained from the FAA's aeromedical certification system and matching accident data from the NTSB database. A logistic regression model comparing accidents in this group to the overall population of third-class certificate holders adjusted for gender, age, and flight times was performed. A novel technique for calculating accident rates was also employed. RESULTS: No statistically significant association between waivers for insulin treatment and accident risk was found by logistic regression. The overall accident rate for pilots possessing an insulin waiver was 7.0 per 100,000 flight hours and an estimate for all third-class pilots was also 7.0 per 100,000 flight hours. Only 8% of waivers for insulin treatment were later terminated for adverse changes related to the applicant's diabetes. Of these pilots, 8% also had coronary artery disease severe enough to require its own waiver. CONCLUSION: Taken together, these findings suggest that pilots holding special issuance waivers for insulin-treated diabetes are not detectably less safe than other airmen with third-class medical certificates and most are able to successfully comply with the FAA's stringent medical certification protocol for insulin treated diabetes.

JO - Journal of Aircraft JF - Journal of Aircraft Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 54 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 94 EP - 103 SN - 00218669 AB - Information on the suggested aircraft airspeeds can be obtained from flight manuals, but the actual airspeeds flown by an aircraft will vary based on the aircraft landing weight, airport altitude, wind conditions, and other Air-Traffic-Control related factors. The recent advent of new tools and an abundance of new, highly accurate aircraft surveillance data have enabled a reevaluation of past airspeed profile assumptions. The resulting analysis provides a stronger representation for airspeeds flown on final approach and initial departure by the aircraft types comprising a large percentage of U.S. Instrument Flight Rules operations. Furthermore, the time to fly is calculated to determine how long it takes the trailer aircraft to fly the distance to the point where the leader generates a particular portion of the wake. Although this work is performed to provide improved inputs for Recategorization Phase II analyses, the airspeed profiles derived from aircraft surveillance data will also be valuable to other Air Traffic Control applications (such as the Advanced Traffic Proximity Alert, the Interval Management-Paired Approach, Time-Based Flow Management, and the Integrated Departure Arrival Capability) that require accurate knowledge of how aircraft approach and departure airspeeds vary in actual operations.

By replacing low flammability aluminum components by carbon fiber laminates, the potential fuel load for aircraft fires may be increased significantly. A pyrolysis model has been developed for a Toray Co. carbon fiber laminate composite. Development of this model is intended to improve the understanding of the fire response and flammability characteristics of the composite, which complies with Boeing Material Specification 8–276. The work presented here details a methodology used to characterize the composite. The mean error between the predicted curves and the mean experimental mass loss rate curves collected in bench-scale gasification tests was calculated as approximately 17% on average for heat fluxes ranging from 40 to 80 kW m−2. During construction of the model, additional complicating phenomena were investigated. It was shown that the thermal conductivity in the plane of the composite was approximately 15 times larger than the in-depth thermal conductivity, the mass transport was inhibited due to the high density of the laminae in the composite, and oxidation did not appear to significantly affect pyrolysis at heat fluxes up to 60 kW m−2.

The National Transportation Safety Board ( NTSB) aviation accident and the Federal Aviation Administration's Civil Aerospace Medical Institute ( CAMI) toxicology and medical certification databases were searched for pilots fatally injured in aviation accidents. During 1990-2012, CAMI received bio-samples of pilots from 7037 aviation accidents. Of these, 2644 cases were positive for drugs. TCAs were present in 31. TCA blood concentrations ranged from therapeutic to toxic levels. The NTSB determined that the use of drugs and ethanol as the probable cause or contributing factor in 35% (11 of 31) of the accidents. None of the 31 pilots reported the use of TCAs during their aviation medical examination. The prevalence of TCAs in aviators was less than 0.5% (31 of 7037 cases). There is a need for aviators to fully disclose the use of medications at the time of their medical examination.

JO - Transportation Research: Part B JF - Transportation Research: Part B Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 95 M3 - Article SP - 421 EP - 441 SN - 01912615 AB - Advanced connected and automated vehicle technologies enable us to modify driving behavior and control vehicle trajectories, which have been greatly constrained by human limits in existing manually-driven highway traffic. In order to maximize benefits from these technologies on highway traffic management, vehicle trajectories need to be not only controlled at the individual level but also coordinated collectively for a stream of traffic. As one of the pioneering attempts to highway traffic trajectory control, Part I of this study ( Zhou et al., 2016 ) proposed a parsimonious shooting heuristic (SH) algorithm for constructing feasible trajectories for a stream of vehicles considering realistic constraints including vehicle kinematic limits, traffic arrival patterns, car-following safety, and signal operations. Based on the algorithmic and theoretical developments in the preceding paper, this paper proposes a holistic optimization framework for identifying a stream of vehicle trajectories that yield the optimum traffic performance measures on mobility, environment and safety. The computational complexity and mobility optimality of SH is theoretically analyzed, and verifies superior computational performance and high solution quality of SH. A numerical sub-gradient-based algorithm with SH as a subroutine (NG-SH) is proposed to simultaneously optimize travel time, a surrogate safety measure, and fuel consumption for a stream of vehicles on a signalized highway section. Numerical examples are conducted to illustrate computational and theoretical findings. They show that vehicle trajectories generated from NG-SH significantly outperform the benchmark case with all human drivers at all measures for all experimental scenarios. This study reveals a great potential of transformative trajectory optimization approaches in transportation engineering applications. It lays a solid foundation for developing holistic cooperative control strategies on a general transportation network with emerging technologies.

The earlier MRF values were obtained from a series of pullout and interface shear tests on the same soil and reinforcement materials. The MRF in this study is defined as the ratio of soil-reinforcement interface shear strength at an increased GWC value [e.g., optimum moisture content (OMC) + 2%] to the shear strength at OMC − 2% representing construction conditions. Therefore, MRF values can be used to account for an anticipated reduction in the shear strength of the soil-geotextile reinforcement interface caused by wetting in the stability analysis and design of reinforced soil structures constructed with marginal soils. The embankment models were built using a lean clay (CL) at the GWC values ranging between OMC − 2% and OMC + 2%, which included a single-reinforcement layer near the top of the embankment. This provided a horizontal soil-reinforcement interface subjected to shear sliding of an overriding block of soil caused by surcharge loading of the embankment. Two different woven polypropylene geotextile products were used to build the six model embankments. Each model was instrumented with a total of 67 sensors to measure the soil GWC, matric suction and excess pore pressure, reinforcement strains, earth pressure, and deformations of the embankment model and the test box during the test. Results from the embankment tests in this study indicate that the change in the matric suction and GWC could have a significant influence on the soil-geotextile reinforcement interface strength. Wetting of the soil and the soil-geotextile interface during construction or service life of reinforced soil slopes could considerably reduce their shear strength, resulting in lower factors of safety for their stability. The results of the study showed that within the range of GWC values examined (i.e., OMC ± 2%), the embankment model constructed at OMC − 2% yielded the greatest shear strength and stability when subjected to a strip footing load. The MRF values for the model embankments constructed at OMC + 2% were found to be as low as 0.74–0.79 for models that were reinforced with different woven geotextiles of comparable apparent opening size (AOS) but different ultimate strength values. The MRF results presented in this study, although obtained from soils with different as-compacted GWC values, indicate that the loss of soil-reinforcement interface shear capacity as a result of wetting in reinforced soil structures involving marginal fills could be significant and deserve proper attention in the design of these systems.

Petrographic analysis showed that the aggregate used in the UTBWC is mainly limestone with an average acid-insoluble residue of 5.1%. Coefficient of friction tests were performed both on a comparative UTBWC from Virginia with a different aggregate mineralogy VA-UTBWC and on slabs extracted from the slippery UTBWC pavement overlay. The tests clearly showed that the slippery UTBWC overlay sharply declined throughout the polishing process, consistent with the aggregate mineralogical composition and its low amount of acid-insoluble residue. In contrast, the comparative VA-UTBWC mix showed a gradual increase and then decrease in friction with continued polishing. This investigation clearly showed that the cause of the slippery asphalt pavement problem of the road mainly attributed to limestone aggregate polishing.

JO - Journal of Transportation Engineering JF - Journal of Transportation Engineering Y1 - 2016/12// VL - 142 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 SN - 0733947X AB - Adaptive traffic-signal control (ATSC) is a traffic management strategy in which traffic-signal timings change, or adapt, based on observed traffic demand. Although ATSC can improve mobility, it also has the potential to reduce crashes because mainline stops should be reduced. This paper aims to evaluate the safety effectiveness of ATSC using the empirical Bayes method. This analysis examines 47 urban or suburban intersections where ATSC was deployed in Virginia using 235 site-years of before data and 66 site-years of after data. Installing ATSC was found to produce a crash modification factor (CMF) for total intersection crashes of 0.83 with a standard error of 0.05. This CMF was statistically significant at a 95 percent confidence level. Fatal and injury crashes did not change by a statistically significant amount, indicating that the primary safety benefit of ATSC was reduction in property damage crashes. Analyses of ATSC safety effects by crash type, by traffic volume level, and by operational improvement magnitude were also performed. All crash types were found to be reduced, but safety benefits varied from corridor to corridor and by volume levels. It was concluded that ATSC installation can potentially reduce total crashes at highway intersections and that public agencies should consider ATSC’s safety and mobility benefits when justifying ATSC projects.

JO - Journal of Transportation Engineering JF - Journal of Transportation Engineering Y1 - 2016/12// VL - 142 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 SN - 0733947X AB - Despite the fact that both traffic researchers and highway agencies have devoted considerable efforts over the past few decades to improving intersection safety, the development of effective strategies remains a challenging task. This research presents an integrated dilemma zone protection system (DZPS) for contending with the safety issues caused by the presence of a dilemma zone, a primary factor contributing to the rear-end collisions or side-angle crashes at intersections, especially at those experiencing high-speed traffic flows. The entire paper includes three parts: (1) development of an integrated system for protecting vehicles within the dilemma zone; (2) procedures to calibrate those key system parameters with field data at a candidate intersection; and (3) design of a per-deployment assessment process for evaluating such a design prior to its field deployment. The proposed DZPS, developed with a target intersection’s traffic characteristic data and geometric constraints, consists of three principal modules: variable message sign (VMS) for advanced warning or speed display, wide-range sensors to track individual vehicles in the dilemma zone, and a decision module to execute the all-red extension function. Based on a proactive design notion, the proposed DZPS can first use the VMS to inform the approaching drivers of a yellow or red phase ahead and prepare to stop, or to display the speed of the discharging traffic flows from the stop line during a green phase. The information will help compliant drivers to adjust their speeds in a timely manner so as to avoid rear-end collisions. For those aggressive/noncompliant vehicles, the DZPS system’s wide-range sensors will track the evolution of their speeds and locations within the dilemma zone at the interval of every 0.1 s, and then determine whether or not an all-red extension call shall be granted to prevent such vehicles from incurring potential side-angled crashes with vehicles from the side street. Recognizing that reliable evaluation of a deployed DZPS’s effectiveness needs the field data over a sufficiently long period, this study has presented the process for conducting a predeployment assessment with well-calibrated simulation experiments. The effectiveness of the proposed system, demonstrated with the results of the case study at the intersection of highway U.S. 301 at Croom Station Road, Upper Marlboro, Maryland, has also been summarized in this paper. Overall, the proposed system, from both the proactive and reactive perspectives to protect drivers, exhibits quite promising properties for use in practice.

Thermal runaway was induced by electrical resistance (Joule) heating of the cell in the nitrogen-filled pressure vessel (bomb) to preclude combustion. The total energy released by cell failure, Δ H f , was assumed to be comprised of the stored electrical energy E (cell potential × charge) and the chemical energy of mixing, reaction and thermal decomposition of the cell components, Δ U rxn . The contribution of E and Δ U rxn to Δ H f was determined and the mass of volatile, combustible thermal decomposition products was measured in an effort to characterize the fire safety hazard of rechargeable lithium ion cells.

FSI has to be taken into account in the design and analysis of many engineering applications, yet a comprehensive theoretical development where analytical equations are derived from first principles is nonexistent. An approach where Jourdain׳s principle is modified and extended for FSI is used to derive reduced-order models from an extended variational formulation where assumptions are explicitly stated. Two VIV models are considered: an elastically supported, inverted pendulum and a translating cylinder, both immersed in a flow and allowed to move transversely to the flow direction. Their reduced-order models are obtained in the form of (i) a single governing equation and (ii) two general coupled equations as well as the coupled lift-oscillator model. Comparisons are made with three existing models. Based on our theoretical results, and especially the reduced-order model, we conclude that the first principles development herein is a viable framework for the modeling of complex fluid–structure interaction problems such as vortex-induced oscillations.

The incomplete combustion conditions were attained by changing the MCC combustor temperature, oxygen concentration and residence time. A numerical model of the combustor, taking account spatial non-uniformity of its temperature, was developed and employed in inverse modeling mode to derive the global combustion kinetics for polystyrene and poly(butylene terephthalate) and their blends with gas-phase active flame retardant additives. The kinetic parameters were found to be highly sensitive to the presence of these additives. The speed of laminar flame propagating in a stoichiometric mixture of the pyrolyzates and air was estimated from the derived kinetics and proposed as a quantitative measure of gas-phase flame retardant effectiveness.

AB - The current practice of crash characterization in highway engineering reduces multiple dimensions of crash contributing factors and their relative sequential connections, crash sequences, into broad definitions, resulting in crash categories such as head-on, sideswipe, rear-end, angle, and fixed-object. As a result, crashes that are classified in the same category may contain many different crash sequences. This makes it difficult to develop effective countermeasures because these crash categorizations are based on the outcomes rather than the preceding events. Consequently, the efficacy of a countermeasure designed for a specific type of crash may not be appropriate due to different pre-crash sequences. This research seeks to explore the use of event sequence to characterize crashes. Additionally, this research seeks to identify crash sequences that are likely to result in severe crash outcomes so that researchers can develop effective countermeasures to reduce severe crashes. This study utilizes the sequence of events from roadway departure crashes in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), and converts the information to form a new categorization called 'crash sequences.' The similarity distance between each pair of crash sequences were calculated using the Optimal Matching approach. Cluster analysis was applied to group crash sequences that are etiologically similar in terms of the similarity distance. A hybrid model was constructed to mitigate the potential sample selection bias of FARS data, which is biased toward more severe crashes. The major findings include: (1) in terms of a roadway departure crash, the crash sequences that are most likely to result in high crash severity include a vehicle that first crosses the median or centerline, runs-off-road on the left, and then collides with a roadside fixed-object; (2) seat-belt and airbag usage reduces the probability of dying in a roadway departure crash by 90%; and (3) occupants who are seated on the side of the vehicle that experience a direct impact are 2.6 times more likely to die in a roadway departure crash than those not seated on the same side of the vehicle where the impact occurs.

This point, called a dilemma zone, has remained a safety concern for drivers due to the great possibility of a rear-end or right-angle crash occurring. In order to reduce the risk of car crashes at the dilemma zone, Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) recommended a dilemma zone model. The model, however, fails to provide precise calculations on the decision of drivers because it disregards the supplemental roadway information, such as whether a red light camera is present. Hence, the goal of this study was to incorporate such roadway environmental factors into a more realistic driver decision-making model for the dilemma zone. A driving simulator was used to determine the influence of roadway conditions on decision-making of real drivers. Following data collection, each driver's decision outcomes were implemented in an Agent-Based Simulation (ABS) so as to analyze behaviors under realistic road environments. The experimental results revealed that the proposed dilemma zone model was able to accurately predict the decisions of drivers. Specifically, the model confirmed the findings from the driving simulator study that the changes in the roadway environment reduced the number of red light violations at an intersection.

T1 - Age and sex alone are insufficient to predict human rib structural response to dynamic A-P loading. JO - Journal of Biomechanics JF - Journal of Biomechanics Y1 - 2016/10/03/ VL - 49 IS - 14 M3 - Article SP - 3516 EP - 3522 SN - 00219290 AB - Thoracic injuries from motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) are common in children and the elderly and are associated with a high rate of mortality for both groups. Rib fractures, in particular, are linked to high mortality rates which increase with the number of fractures sustained. Anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) and computational models have been developed to improve vehicle safety, however these tools are constructed based on limited physical datasets. To-date, no study has explored variation of rib structural properties across the entire age spectrum with data obtained using the same experimental methodology to allow for comparison. One-hundred eighty-four ribs from 93 post mortem human subjects (PMHS) (70 male, 23 female; ages 4–99) were subjected to dynamic bending tests simulating a frontal impact to the thorax. Structural mechanical properties were calculated and a multi-level statistical model quantified the sample variance as explained by age and sex. Displacement ( δ X ), peak force ( F peak ), linear structural stiffness ( K ), energy absorption to fracture ( U tot ), and plastic properties including post-yield energy absorption ( U Pl ), plastic displacement (δ Pl ), and the ratio of elastic to secant stiffness ( K -ratio) all showed negative relationships with age, while only F peak , K , and U tot were dependent on sex. Despite these relationships being statistically significant, only 7–39% of variance is explained by age and only 3–17% of variance is explained by sex. This demonstrates that variability in bone properties is more complex than simply chronological age- and sex-dependence and should be explored in the context of biological mechanisms instead.

Outcomes and prognostic factors are not entirely understood for victims of IFCAs in commercial aviation. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of airline passengers who experienced IFCA. Demographic and operational variables were studied to identify association in a multivariate logistic regression model with the outcome of survival-to- hospital. In-flight medical emergencies were processed by a ground-based medical center. Subsequent comparisons were made between reported shockable-rhythm (RSR) and reported non-shockable-rhythm (RNSR) groups. Logistic regression was also used to identify predictors for shock advised and flight diversions using a case control study design. Significant predictors for survival-to-hospital were RSR and remaining flight time to destination. RESULTS: The percentage of RSR cases was 24.6%. The survival to hospital admission was 22.7% (22/97) for passengers in RSR compared with 2.4% (7/297) in the RNSR group. The adjusted odds ratio for survival-to-hospital for the RSR group compared to the RNSR group was 13.6 (5.5 - 33.5).The model showed odds for survival to hospital decreased with longer scheduled remaining flight duration with adjusted OR = 0.701 (0.535 - 0.920) per hour increase. No correlation between diversions and survival for RSR cases was found. CONCLUSIONS: Survival-to-hospital from IFCAs is best when an RSR is present. The percentage of RSR cases was lower than in other out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) settings, which suggests delayed discovery. Flight diversions did not significantly affect resuscitation outcome. We emphasize good quality cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation as key factors for IFCA survival.

We propose a resampling-based classification method based on the fact that resampling techniques yield a consistent estimator of the distribution of a statistic. The performance of this method was evaluated with eight contaminated models in terms of Correct Classification Rates (CCRs), and the results were compared with other known methods. The proposed method consistently showed higher average CCRs and 4% higher CCR at the maximum compared to other methods. In addition, this method was applied to Berkeley data. The average CCRs were between 0.79 and 0.85.

Current United States design guidelines, based on Load and Resistance Factor Design, expressly recommend that abutment columns withstand scour if exposed during embankment breaching. The findings describe how breaching occurs for two abutment forms (spill-through and wingwall), and how pier-like scour may occur at their exposed columns. The findings include data regarding the time to breach, scour depths at breached abutments, and have significance for designing scour countermeasures.

The primary objectives were to compare ways to combine stiffness and relaxation properties to correlate with cracking, assess data collection schemes in the LTPP relating to the analysis methods, and provide agencies with information to develop approaches for cataloging binders and performance. The Superpave low-temperature specification was compared with the recently developed Glover-Rowe parameter to relate laboratory-measured properties to field cracking. Complex modulus and phase-angle master curves were constructed to plot binder properties in Black Space. Results show the Superpave specification and Glover-Rowe parameter were able to capture one significantly cracked section which had test data obtained within a reasonable amount of time from field measurement. However, the available LTPP data was not ideal for Glover-Rowe analysis, where frequency sweeps at several temperatures are desired. The information presented is particularly relevant as tighter budgets delay maintenance and rehabilitation, exposing pavements to extensive aging.

AB - 112 college students participated in a study of simulated driving to investigate how trait driver aggression, state anger and coping predict risk-taking behaviors such as tailgating and frequency of passing. The simulation scenario, driving in slow traffic, elicited both anger and stress. However, consistent with the transactional model of driver stress, anger and distress were associated with different patterns of coping. Both anger and aggression were associated with dispositional confrontive coping. Drivers were afforded opportunities to pass other traffic, in risky circumstances. Dispositional coping factors, especially confrontive coping, predicted risk-taking behaviors, such as frequent passing and tailgating prior to the pass. However, trait aggression and anger did not predict risky behaviors. Confrontive drivers may have developed habitual behavioral styles that are expressed irrespective of current mood and coping strategy. The findings suggest that stress or anger management may be only a partial solution to dangerous driving in congested conditions. Further investigation of how drivers acquire confrontive behavioral styles is needed. The data also support multivariate approaches to selecting safe drivers in commercial and industrial contexts.

AB - The crash prediction models of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM), 2010 estimate the expected number of crashes for different facility types. Models in Part C Chapter 12 of the first edition of the HSM include crash prediction models for divided and undivided urban arterials. Each of the HSM crash prediction models for highway segments is comprised of a 'Safety Performance Function,' a function of AADT and segment length, plus, a series of 'Crash Modification Factors' (CMFs). The SPF estimates the expected number of crashes for the site if the site features are of base condition. The effects of the other features of the site, if their values are different from base condition, are carried out through use of CMFs. The existing models for urban arterials do not have any CMF for horizontal curvature. The goal of this research is to investigate if the horizontal alignment has any significant effect on crashes on any of these types of facilities and if so, to develop a CMF for this feature. Washington State cross sectional data from the Highway Safety Information System (HSIS), 2014 was used in this research. Data from 2007 to 2009 was used to conduct the investigation. The 2010 data was used to validate the results. As the results showed, the horizontal curvature has significant safety effect on two-lane undivided urban arterials with speed limits of 35 mph and higher and using a CMF for horizontal curvature in the crash prediction model of this type of facility improves the prediction of crashes significantly, for both tangent and curve segments.

The Highway Safety Manual (HSM) uses this characteristic in crash prediction models for rural two-lane highways, freeway segments, and freeway ramps/C-D roads. Traffic simulation models use this characteristic in their processes on almost all types of facilities. However, a good portion of roadway databases do not include horizontal alignment data; instead, many contain point coordinate data along the roadways. SHRP 2 Roadway Information Database (RID) is a good example of this type of data. Only about 5% of this geodatabase contains alignment information and for the rest, point data can easily be produced. Even though the point data can be used to extract actual horizontal alignment data but, extracting horizontal alignment is a cumbersome and costly process, especially for a database of miles and miles of highways. This research introduces a so called 'Quasi-Horizontal Alignment' that can be produced easily and automatically from point coordinate data and can be used in the safety and operational evaluations of highways. SHRP 2 RID for rural two-lane highways in Washington State is used in this study. This paper presents a process through which Quasi-Horizontal Alignments are produced from point coordinates along highways by using spreadsheet software such as MS EXCEL. It is shown that the safety and operational evaluations of the highways with Quasi-Horizontal Alignments are almost identical to the ones with the actual alignments. In the absence of actual alignment the Quasi-Horizontal Alignment can easily be produced from any type of databases that contain highway coordinates such geodatabases and digital maps.

JO - Computational Intelligence & Neuroscience JF - Computational Intelligence & Neuroscience Y1 - 2016/09/20/ M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 18 SN - 16875265 AB - Design concepts and algorithms were developed to address the eye tracking analysis issues that arise when (1) participants interrogate dynamic multielement objects that can overlap on the display and (2) visual angle error of the eye trackers is incapable of providing exact eye fixation coordinates. These issues were addressed by (1) developing dynamic areas of interests (AOIs) in the form of either convex or rectangular shapes to represent the moving and shape-changing multielement objects, (2) introducing the concept of AOI gap tolerance (AGT) that controls the size of the AOIs to address the overlapping and visual angle error issues, and (3) finding a near optimal AGT value. The approach was tested in the context of air traffic control (ATC) operations where air traffic controller specialists (ATCSs) interrogated multiple moving aircraft on a radar display to detect and control the aircraft for the purpose of maintaining safe and expeditious air transportation. In addition, we show how eye tracking analysis results can differ based on how we define dynamic AOIs to determine eye fixations on moving objects. The results serve as a framework to more accurately analyze eye tracking data and to better support the analysis of human performance.

JO - Respiratory Research JF - Respiratory Research Y1 - 2016/09/07/ VL - 17 M3 - journal article SP - 1 EP - 11 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14659921 AB - Background: Cigarette smoking (CS) is the main risk factor for the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and most COPD exacerbations are caused by respiratory infections including influenza. Influenza infections are more severe in smokers. The mechanism of the increased risk and severity of infections in smokers is likely multifactorial, but certainly includes changes in immunologic host defenses.Methods: We investigated retinoic acid-inducible protein I (RIG-I) and interferon (IFN) induction by influenza A virus (IAV) in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC) isolated from smokers or nonsmokers. Subcultured HBEC cells were infected with A/Puerto Rico/8/1934 (PR8) IAV at an MOI of 1. After 24 h of infection, cells and supernatants were collected for qRT-PCR, immunoblot or ELISA to determine RIG-I, Toll-like receptor3 (TLR3) and IFN expression levels.Results: IAV exposure induced a vigorous IFN-β, IFN-λ 1 and IFN-λ 2/3 antiviral response in HBEC from nonsmokers and significant induction of RIG-I and TLR3. In cells from smokers, viral RIG-I and TLR3 mRNA induction was reduced 87 and 79 % compared to the response from nonsmokers. CS exposure history was associated with inhibition of viral induction of the IFN-β, IFN-λ1 and IFN-λ 2/3 mRNA response by 85, 96 and 95 %, respectively, from that seen in HBEC from nonsmokers. The demethylating agent 5-Aza-2-deoxycytidine reversed the immunosuppressive effects of CS exposure in HBEC since viral induction of all three IFNs was restored. IFN-β induction of RIG-I and TLR3 was also suppressed in the cells from smokers.Conclusion: Our results suggest that active smoking reduces expression of antiviral cytokines in primary HBEC cells. This effect likely occurs via downregulation of RIG-I and TLR3 due to smoke-induced epigenetic modifications. Reduction in lung epithelial cell RIG-I and TLR3 responses may be a major mechanism contributing to the increased risk and severity of viral respiratory infections in smokers and to viral-mediated acute exacerbations of COPD.

AB - Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the potential benefits and impact on pilot behavior from the use of portable weather applications.Method: Seventy general aviation (GA) pilots participated in the study. Each pilot was randomly assigned to an experimental or a control group and flew a simulated single-engine GA aircraft, initially under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). The experimental group was equipped with a portable weather application during flight. We recorded measures for weather situation awareness (WSA), decision making, cognitive engagement, and distance from the aircraft to hazardous weather.Results: We found positive effects from the use of the portable weather application, with an increased WSA for the experimental group, which resulted in credibly larger route deviations and credibly greater distances to hazardous weather (≥30 dBZ cells) compared with the control group. Nevertheless, both groups flew less than 20 statute miles from hazardous weather cells, thus failing to follow current weather-avoidance guidelines. We also found a credibly higher cognitive engagement (prefrontal oxygenation levels) for the experimental group, possibly reflecting increased flight planning and decision making on the part of the pilots.Conclusion: Overall, the study outcome supports our hypothesis that portable weather displays can be used without degrading pilot performance on safety-related flight tasks, actions, and decisions as measured within the constraints of the present study. However, it also shows that an increased WSA does not automatically translate to enhanced flight behavior.Application: The study outcome contributes to our knowledge of the effect of portable weather applications on pilot behavior and decision making.

The authors' evaluation included connection details, which are considered current good practice using high-strength nonshrink grout in combination with transverse posttensioning and novel details using ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). The factors that affect shear key performance, including simulated traffic loading, thermal loads, level of transverse posttensioning, and different connection designs, are presented in this paper.A simplified model for calculating the transverse shear is proposed, and the possible transverse tensile force caused by eccentrically placed loads is discussed. The performances of different connection details are presented and compared. The findings of the research can be used to assist bridge owners in the use of this economical bridge type and can provide innovative solutions that advance state-of-the-practice in bridge construction.

The analytical approach is formulated as a recursive optimization damage detection technique, in which model updating is employed to account for the changes in the cable stiffness as a result of damage. The efficiency of this approach was evaluated on a reduced-scale cable-stayed bridge in the laboratory. In addition to the laboratory experiments, the proposed approach was also evaluated by simulating damage in an actual cable-stayed bridge through numerical studies. Several different damage scenarios with various levels of damage were considered in the experiments, as well as in the numerical simulations. The results indicate that the proposed method is capable of identifying the location of the damaged cables in the bridge for cases involving up to two damaged cables.

Results show that 60 wt.% Ag 3 PO 4 /SAPO-34 exhibits the highest photocatalytic degradation efficiencies for both MB (91.0% degradation within 2.0 min) and RhB (91.0% degradation within 7.0 min). In comparison, pure Ag 3 PO 4 powder photocatalyst requires 8.0 min and 12.0 min for decomposing 91.0% of MB and RhB, respectively. During MB degradation the rate constant for 60 wt.% Ag 3 PO 4 /SAPO-34 increases 317.2% in comparison with the rate constant of pure Ag 3 PO 4 . This activity is also much higher than literature reported composite or supported Ag 3 PO 4 photocatalysts. In three photocatalytic runs for the degradation of RhB, the rate constant for 60 wt.% Ag 3 PO 4 /SAPO-34 reduces from 0.33 to 0.18 min −1 (45.5% efficiency loss). In contrast, the rate constant of pure Ag 3 PO 4 catalyst decreases from 0.2 to 0.07 min −1 (80.0% efficiency loss). All experimental results have shown that small pores and zero light absorption loss of SAPO-34 molecular sieves minimize Ag 3 PO 4 loading, enhance photocatalytic activity and prolong the lifespan of Ag 3 PO 4 photocatalyst.

The results indicate that GRS performs well under service conditions. A semi-empirical expression is proposed for prescribed bearing pressures to limit vertical strain to 0.5% of the abutment height. In addition, recommendations for estimating lateral deformation for GRS bridge abutments are also provided. At 200 kPa surcharge for this series of tests, vertical settlements ranged from 8.3 to 33.9 mm (or from 0.4% to 1.7% axial strain); lateral deformations ranged from 3.0 mm to 10.1 mm (or 0.6%–2.0% lateral strain); and reinforcement strain ranged from less than 1% during construction to less than 3% during loading. The lateral deformation results indicate that the maximum displacement occurs in the top third region of the wall face. Comparing the vertical and lateral displacement data shows that most GRS models experienced negligible positive volume changes up to about 1% under typical bridge service loads.

JO - Transportation Research: Part C JF - Transportation Research: Part C Y1 - 2016/08// VL - 69 M3 - Article SP - 173 EP - 192 SN - 0968090X AB - In this research, a person-delay-based optimization method is proposed for an intelligent Transit Signal Priority (TSP) logic that resolves multiple conflicting TSP requests at an isolated intersection. This TSP with Connected Vehicles accommodating Conflicting Requests (TSPCV-CR) overcomes the challenge bore by the conventional “first come first serve” strategy and presents significant improvement on bus service performance. The feature of TSPCV-CR includes green time re-allocation, simultaneous multiple buses accommodation, and signal-transit coordination. These features help maximize the transit TSP service rate and minimize adverse effect on competing travel directions. The TSPCV-CR is also designed to be conditional. That is, TSP is granted only when the bus is behind schedule and the grant of TSP causes no extra total person delay. The optimization is formulated as a Binary Mixed Integer Linear Program (BMILP) which is solved by standard branch-and-bound routine. Minimizing per person delay is the objective of the optimization model. The logic developed in this research is evaluated using both analytical and microscopic traffic simulation approaches. Both analytical tests and simulation evaluations compared three scenarios: without TSP (NTSP), conventional TSP (CTSP), and TSP with Connected Vehicles that resolves Conflicting Requests (TSPCV-CR). The measures of effectiveness used include bus delay and total travel time of all travelers. The performance of TSPCV-CR is compared against conventional TSP (CTSP) under four congestion levels and three different conflicting scenarios. The results show that the TSPCV-CR greatly reduces bus delay at signalized intersection for all congestion levels and conflicting scenarios considered. Simulation based evaluation results show that the TSPCV-CR logic reduces average bus delay between 5% and 48% compared to the conventional TSP. The range of improvement corresponding to the four different v / c ratios tested, which are 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 and 1.0, respectively. No statistically significant negative effects are observed.

There have been recent efforts to allow operation of much larger, heavier, faster, and more complex aircraft without requiring a medical certificate. The primary objective of this research was to compare hazards to flight safety identified in fatally injured pilots required to possess a valid FAA third-class medical certificate to hazards in fatally injured pilots who were not required to possess a valid medical certificate. METHODS: A search of all fatal U.S. aircraft accidents in the FAA Medical ANalysis and TRAcking (MANTRA) registry between January 1,2011, and April 30,2014, identified 1084 individuals. A review of accident pilots'medical, autopsy, and toxicological data was conducted. After applying exclusion criteria, 467 pilots remained, including 403 medically certified and 64 medically uncertified pilots. RESULTS: A significant difference was found in a surrogate measure for risk between medically certified and uncertified pilots (25% vs. 59%). This difference remained significant after adjustment for age. No significant difference was found in the proportions of hazards identified on toxicological review. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that the risk of an adverse medical event is reduced in pilots required to possess a valid medical certificate.

We compared personal flying accident rates in aircraft with special light sport aircraft (SLSA) and experimental light sport aircraft (ELSA) airworthiness certificates to accident rates for personal flying in other general aviation (GA) aircraft. METHODS: To calculate accident rates, personal flying hours were obtained from the annual FAA General Aviation and Part 135 Activity Surveys, and numbers of personal flying accidents were obtained from the NTSB accident database. Overall and fatal personal flying accident rates for the SLSA and ELSA groups and other GA aircraft were calculated and accident rates were compared. RESULTS: The overall personal flying accident rate for SLSA and ELSA was found to be 29.8 per 100,000 flight hours and the fatal accident rate was 5.2 per 100,000 flying hours. These are both significantly greater than the overall personal flying rate of 12.7 per 100,000 hand fatal rate of 2.6 per 100,000 h for other GA aircraft. DISCUSSION: Although this study has several limitations, the significantly higher accident rates in the sport pilot aircraft suggests caution when expanding sport pilot privileges to include larger, more complex aircraft.

JO - Transportation Research: Part C JF - Transportation Research: Part C Y1 - 2016/07// VL - 68 M3 - Article SP - 228 EP - 244 SN - 0968090X AB - This research presents an integrated optimal controller to maximize the fuel efficiency of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) traveling on rolling terrain. The controller optimizes both the vehicle acceleration and the hybrid powertrain operation. It takes advantage of the emerging Connected Vehicle (CV) technology and utilizes present and future information as optimization input, which includes road topography, and dynamic speed limit. The optimal control problem was solved using Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle (PMP). Efforts were made to reduce the computational burden of the optimization process. The evaluation shows that the benefit of the proposed optimal controller is significant compared to regular HEV cruising at the speed limit on rolling terrain. The benefit ranges from 5.0% to 8.9% on mild slopes and from 15.7% to 16.9% on steep slopes. The variation is caused by the change of hilly road density.

The ability to evaluate complex heavy truck braking systems is potentially more rapid and economical through hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) simulation which employs the actual electronics and vehicle hardware. Though the initial HiL system development is time consuming and expensive, tests conducted on the completed system do not require track time, fuel, vehicle maintenance, or technician labor for driving or truck configuration changes. Truck and trailer configuration and loading as well as test scenarios can be rapidly adjusted within the vehicle dynamics simulation software to evaluate the performance of automated safety interventions (such as ESC) over a wide range of conditions. Hardware-in-the-loop simulation does not obviate the need for all track testing; vehicle models for simulation must be validated against track data for each truck platform. But HiL simulation can supplement and extend track data for tests at higher speeds, low friction surfaces, and alternate vehicle configurations. A HiL pneumatic braking system was developed for this purpose by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with the goal of evaluating performance as it relates to safety. This paper describes the system in detail and includes some sample results of the testing.

JO - Molecular Ecology JF - Molecular Ecology Y1 - 2016/05/15/ VL - 25 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2210 EP - 2225 SN - 09621083 AB - Evolution of osmoregulatory systems is a key factor in the transition of species between fresh- and saltwater habitats. Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles merus are stenohaline and euryhaline malaria vector mosquitoes belonging to a larger group of sibling species, the Anopheles gambiae complex, which radiated in Africa within the last 2 million years. Comparative ecological genomics of these vector species can provide insight into the mechanisms that permitted the rapid radiation of this species complex into habitats of contrasting salinity. Here, we use RNA-Seq to investigate gene expression differences between An. coluzzii and An. merus after briefly exposing both young and old larval instars of each species to either saltwater ( SW) or freshwater ( FW). Our study aims to identify candidate genes and pathways responsible for the greater SW tolerance of An. merus. Our results are congruent with the ability of gene induction to mediate salinity tolerance, with both species showing increasing amounts of differential gene expression between SW and FW as salt concentrations increase. Besides ion transporters such as Ag AE2 that may serve as effectors for osmoregulation, we also find mitogen-activated protein kinases that may serve in a phosphorylation signalling pathway responding to salinity, and report potential cross-talk between the mosquito immune response and osmoregulation. This study provides a key step towards applying the growing molecular knowledge of these malaria vectors to improve understanding of their ecological tolerances and habitat occupancy.

Prevalence of these substances in the pilots has been evaluated at 5-yr intervals since 1989. In continuation, a fifth 5-yr study (2009-2013) was conducted. METHODS: The CAMI toxicology/medical certification and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) aviation accident databases were searched. RESULTS: During 2009-2013, samples from 1169 pilots were analyzed. Aircraft involved in the accidents were primarily operating under general aviation. Most airmen were private pilots and held third-class medical certificates. In relation to the first 5-yr (1989-1993) period, the pilot fatality cases decreased by 37% and the presence of ethanol and/or drugs in the pilots increased by 239% in the fifth 5-yr period. The ethanol usage was unchanged, but increases were 267% and 583% with illicit and prescription drugs, respectively. The use of ethanol and/or drugs by aviators, along with underlying medical conditions, was determined by the NTSB to be cause/factors in 5% of the accidents. CONCLUSION: The observed decrease in the fatality cases does not necessarily suggest the decrease in aviation accidents, as active airmen numbers also declined. The increase in the drug positive cases is primarily attributed to the continuous rise in the use of prescription drugs. Although prevalence of ethanol and drugs has been evaluated in fatally injured aviators, such evaluation has not been performed in active pilots not involved in accidents. This type of comparative study would be crucial in assessing aviation safety.

Commercial air tour overflights are a noise source of particular concern to the US National Park Service. To characterize noise from air tours in wilderness, we developed an assessment framework to guide the decisionmaking process for maintaining or improving the soundscape conditions in wilderness. Decision points in the framework were based on management policy and best available science. The result is a "tier" designation for a wilderness area that defines the current soundscape conditions based on known air tour activity. To demonstrate the utility of the framework, we applied the method to Haleakalā Wilderness in Haleakalā National Park, Hawai'i. Whereas the framework presented specifically addresses air tour noise in wilderness and the concerns associated with impacts on wilderness character, the framework may be applicable to managing other noise sources in and near wilderness or other human activities that degrade wilderness qualities.

However, such results provide limited information on whole-body injury distribution and multiple region injury patterns necessary for the improvement and prioritization of rollover-focused injury countermeasures. Methods: Sampled cases representing approximately 133,000 U.S. adult occupants involved in rollover crashes (between 1995 and 2013) sustaining moderate-to-severe injuries were selected from the National Automotive Sampling System Crashworthiness Data System database. A retrospective cohort study, based on a survey of population-based data, was used to identify relevant whole body injury patterns. Results: Among belted occupants injured in rollover crashes, 79.2% sustained injuries to only one body region. The three most frequently injured (AIS2+) body regions were head (42.1%), upper extremity (28.0%), and thorax (27.1%). The most frequent multi-region injury pattern involved the head and upper extremity, but this pattern only accounted for 2.3% of all of occupants with moderate or worse injuries. Conclusions: The results indicated that for rollover-dominated crashes, the frequently observed injury patterns involved isolated body regions. In contrast, multi-region injury patterns are more frequently observed in rollovers with significant planar impacts. Identification of region-specific injury patterns in pure rollover crashes is essential for clarifying injury mitigation targets and developing whole-body injury metrics specifically applicable to rollovers.

This translates to a median 2013 HSIP funding level of just $33.6 million at the state transportation agency level. Given the high cost of major facility improvements, these funds would potentially only address improvements for a small percentage of the "top" crash locations in a state. Having the ability to quickly identify multiple high crash locations that resulted from factors that can be addressed by lower-cost, readily implementable solutions, could substantially improve the return on investment for safety improvements. This study develops a two-step geo-grid screening procedure using a simple to use web-based GIS tool which enables anyone with access to crash data, including new hires with little or no local knowledge or GIS capabilities, to quickly identify high crash locations where viable safety improvement options exist. The area under consideration is initially divided into a screening grid which is used to aggregate crashes that are filtered by characteristics of interest. Cells with the highest number of crashes are highlighted allowing users to quickly identify focus areas. Users then select any cell in the screening layer, and the process is repeated on newly generated localized cells that are small enough for pinpointing specific crash locations. Engineers can then review individual crashes, local roadway geometry, traffic patterns and associated traffic control mechanisms to determine possible causes and propose improvement options for mitigating them. Building on a simple yet practical method for estimating the economic losses due to roadway crashes developed by the authors, an alternative to aggregating number of crashes was also implemented where each crash was assigned a dollar value based on its severity level. Total comprehensive crash costs were then used in place of crash counts for identifying high-dollar cells. Both approaches were tested using Virginia crash data to identify potential locations for safety improvements. The results provide useful information to support resource allocation.

JO - International Journal of Impact Engineering JF - International Journal of Impact Engineering Y1 - 2016/04// VL - 90 M3 - Article SP - 12 EP - 25 SN - 0734743X AB - This paper presents a computational framework that analyzes the effect of fluid–structure interaction (FSI) on the impact dynamics and puncture failure of pressurized commodity tank cars carrying hazardous materials. Shell (side) impact tests have been conducted on full scale tank cars resulting in deformed or punctured tank cars. A finite element (FE) modeling method is applied that explicitly simulates the three distinct phases in a tank car loaded with a liquefied substance: pressurized gas, pressurized liquid and solid structure. Furthermore, an equivalent plastic strain based fracture initiation criterion expressed as a function of stress triaxiality is adopted to depict the fracture behavior of the tank car steel material. The fracture initiation is implemented for ductile, shear and mixed fracture modes and followed by further material deterioration governed by a strain softening law. The force, displacement and impact energy results obtained from the FE analysis show good agreement with the corresponding shell impact test data. The simulations demonstrate that FSI plays a critical role in predicting the correct dynamics of tank car impact. The puncture resistance of a tank car, characterized as limit impact conditions in terms of puncture energy or puncture velocity, is further analyzed in shell impact scenarios. The puncture energy is shown to increase as the initial fluid pressure decreases, the tank car thickness increases or the effective impactor size increases. Quantitative correlations between puncture energy/velocity and each of these factors are obtained using the FE analysis method developed in this paper.

JO - Journal of Bridge Engineering JF - Journal of Bridge Engineering Y1 - 2016/04// VL - 21 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 SN - 10840702 AB - This paper presents a new methodology for determining bridge inspection intervals and procedures. The methodology was developed using established risk-based methodologies with the goals of improving bridge safety and serviceability and optimizing the use of resources for bridge inspection. Current inspection intervals are calendar based and generally require routine inspections at a maximum interval of 24 months. This uniform, calendar-based approach results in the same inspection interval for new bridges and aging and deteriorated bridges. The uniform inspection interval does not consider the inspection needs for a given bridge based on age, condition, materials, environment, etc., and as a result, inspection resources may not be utilized most effectively. Using the methodology described in this paper, a bridge owner performs a simple risk-based assessment of bridges in his or her inventory to identify those for which shorter inspection intervals are needed and those for which longer intervals are more appropriate. This assessment identifies likely damage modes and associated consequences in terms of safety and serviceability of a bridge. A simple risk matrix is used to identify the appropriate inspection interval for bridges. The new, risk-based approach represents a new paradigm for bridge inspection that could transform traditional, uniform, and calendar-based inspection approaches and improve the allocation of resources for bridge inspection to improve the reliability and safety of bridges.

JO - Journal of Transportation Engineering JF - Journal of Transportation Engineering Y1 - 2016/04// VL - 142 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 11 SN - 0733947X AB - Accurate traffic state information is essential for both travelers and transportation agencies. In the past, traffic condition data were usually collected by a government agency using its own sensors. Recently, a number of private sector companies have started selling traveltime and speed data collected using probe vehicles, which provides a viable opportunity to outsource traffic data collection. Because these data sources and their related algorithms are proprietary, the reliability and accuracy of this private sector data is often an important issue for transportation agencies. Previous studies have examined the accuracy of private sector data on freeways, but arterials have not been examined extensively. Arterials represent a fundamentally more challenging environment for probe vehicle data given the larger variance in travel times created by traffic signals and other intermediate access points. In the research, the quality of private sector data on arterials is evaluated by utilizing Bluetooth travel-time data as the ground truth. The evaluation is conducted from two perspectives: the ability to track real-time conditions, and the ability to identify long-term traffic state changes. The study sites are three signalized arterials in the state of Virginia. The results indicate that the private sector data evaluated were not suitable for real-time applications, but could be used to measure long-term traffic state changes for performance measurement programs.

The start of combat operations with Operation Iraqi Freedom saw a dramatic rise in diagnosis rates of clinically significant sleep disorders among officers and enlisted. This coincided with a parallel rise in behavioral health disorders. In this article, the etiology of sleep problems and sleep disorders in our military population is reviewed, and guidance is provided for improving sleep health in our military population. It is our view that appropriate sleep planning and management affords military units and commanders a near-term tactical advantage in terms of maintaining alertness, a midterm tactical advantage of decreasing susceptibility to sleep and behavioral health disorders, and a long-term strategic advantage with increased readiness and resiliency of their Soldiers.

AB - Objective: We wished to assess whether current-generation in-cockpit looping Next-Generation Radar (NEXRAD) can reliably enable safe flight around severe ('heavy') convective weather. Background: Numerous studies suggest that estimating the closest point of approach (CPA) to heavy weather is difficult, and that current in-cockpit NEXRAD may be intrinsically inadequate for the task. Method: To investigate theoretically, we first examined the visual information present in looping NEXRAD. This predicted inherent task difficulty. Next, to investigate empirically, we developed a mathematical model of an 'ideal storm,' generated a looping NEXRAD-type part-task simulation, and tested 21 general aviation (GA) pilots to measure effects of weather system depth (19 vs. 40 nm), and the opening and closing of gaps at various closure rates between cells (14, 7, 0, 7, 14 kt). Results: For the values tested, weather system depth had no significant effect on clearance from heavy weather (> 40 dBZ reflectivity). However, weather movement greatly degraded safety. Moreover, it did not seem to matter if movement was as slow as 7 kt, nor whether gaps were opening or closing. Any weather movement made an already difficult task more so. Conclusion: Analysis suggests the necessity of adding future-predicted weather plus a range ring. Without these two key elements, judgment of CPA will clearly remain difficult. Training is also necessary to improve performance, but is unlikely to be sufficient.

Consequently, interpretation of the limited but valued data generated by the self-powered wireless sensing technology becomes a challenging problem. To tackle this issue, this study presents an evolutionary computational approach for structural damage detection using the self-powered wireless sensor data. The proposed data interpretation system is based on the integration of a robust evolutionary technique, called gene expression programming (GEP), and finite element (FE) method. Several damage indicator variables are extracted upon the simulation of the compressed data stored in memory chips of self-powered sensors. For the analysis, the complicated case of gusset plate of bridge is considered. Different damage scenarios are introduced to the plate and for each scenario and sensor configuration, a damage detection model is derived. Bases on a logistic regression analysis, probabilities are assigned to each model to find the most probable damage state. The damage detection models are presented as MATLAB and Visual Basic codes for further analysis. An uncertainty analysis is performed through the contamination of the damage indicator features with different noise levels. The results indicate that the proposed method is efficiently capable of detecting different damage states in spite of high-level noise contamination.

JO - Neurocomputing JF - Neurocomputing Y1 - 2016/03/12/ VL - 181 M3 - Article SP - 53 EP - 63 SN - 09252312 AB - As Connected Vehicle technologies begin to be deployed along roadway networks, they will be providing massive amount of data. This big data can be useful in identifying safety hazardous zones, which can be complicated and unreliable today. Without sufficient data, past studies had to focus mostly on the micro-level networks. Research on macro-level hotzone identification is limited, and until this point, the contribution of various macroscopic features on the macro-level crash risks is still in dispute. This paper, with the help of massive amount of data, investigates the feasibility of using random forest for hotzone identification at macro-level – the Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) level. At the same time, the most influential macro-level crash risk determinants were identified by applying a series of random forest models in combination with the cross validation methods. The differences of all features between hotzones and normal TAZs were also recognized through Wilcoxon tests. Crash data of three counties in Florida during 2008 and 2009 were employed. Crash risks by different injury levels and collision types were investigated separately. Finally, the significance of various macroscopic variables was determined by different types of crash risks using variable importance analysis. The research results suggest that the distribution of road network and socio-economics are the two most important factors when proactively alleviating traffic safety issues. For developed urban areas, it is desirable to formulate specific traffic safety management strategies that accounts for zone-level socio-economics and development of road infrastructure. For zones with a higher percentage of school enrollment, pedestrian and bicycle friendly roadway system design are most beneficial. It is also desirable to take efficient countermeasures such as law enforcement and driving school training to regulate young drivers׳ behavior in school zones. For areas with high minority residence, there might be a need to use awareness campaigns in multiple languages to relieve pedestrian safety issues. Finally, additional attention should be paid to improve intersection design and management during the planning and operation processes.

Elsevier B.V. 2015. AB - The world's urban population growth and economic development have led to the reshaping of metropolitan space layouts among residential, employment and shopping locations, generating growing mismatch between travel demand and transport services. A reliable method to accurately analyze mobility demand and underlying transport network systems and to identify areas with serious mismatch problems is important for the design of effective policy measures. In this paper, we make use of the wide deployment of GPS devices in vehicles in many cities today, to develop such a method. This approach is developed using GPS data collected from all taxis operating in the Chinese city of Harbin between July and September in 2013. It consists of four major steps. First, city-wide mobility patterns are modeled based on GPS trajectories. This model captures a set of key traffic characteristics for each pair of regions in the entire urban network, including travel demand, travel speed and route directness of travel paths. From this model, a set of indicators is then built to measure the road transport performance between the regions, and the areas with serious mismatch problems are subsequently pinpointed. Finally, the identified problematic regions are further examined and specific transport problems are analyzed. By applying the proposed method to the city of Harbin, the potential and effectiveness of this method are demonstrated. Moreover, with more and more urban vehicles being equipped with GPS devices, the designed method can be easily transferred to other cities, thus paving a way for the adoption of the presented approach for an up-to-date and spatial-temporal sensitive road network analysis approach that supports the establishment of a more sustainable urban transport system.

AB - Future vehicle warning systems needs a local (instead of global) analysis of real-time information transmitted between vehicles and infrastructures, to provide local warning information matching the instantaneous driving contexts. Spatial modeling techniques extracting the location information into the analysis fulfill the needs of local analysis. For truck-involved collisions at highway-rail crossings, the local warnings seem to matters more, than for traffic crashes at the normal highway segments and regular intersections. Crashes at rail grade crossings can result in severe injuries and fatalities to vehicle occupants, while truck-involved crashes at crossings can further result in serious damage to train, crossing and railway equipment. Truck-involved crashes at grade crossings have received limited attention compared with crashes involved with passenger cars. This study presents a methodology of improving safety of trucks at railroad crossings, by taking advantage of the big data containing location information. Unlike previous studies that constructed a direct relationship between the safety outcomes and associated factors, this study investigates direct relationships together with indirect relationships through the truck driver behaviors before collisions, using path analysis techniques. To sum up, this study applies a spatial approach fused with path analysis to uncover the local relationships between truck driver injury severity and crossing controls across the space. By doing so, the research is able to: i) provide a benchmark of identifying potentially risky vehicles on a real time basis; ii) evaluate current control devices at railroad crossing across the country and pin point the potentially problematic crossing sites. An empirical study was conducted by using a rich crash database from the Federal Railroad Administration (N = 4738 for 2004–2014). The results show that truck-involved crashes occurring at crossings without gate controls are generally associated with higher chance of injury, while the associations vary significantly across the space. In general, crashes in the Midwest and Great Lake regions are associated with an even higher chance of injury at crossings without gates, compared with other regions. More Results and implications are discussed in the paper.

With this aim, we investigated the coupling dynamics between a beam and the highly nonlinear solitary waves propagating along a straight granular chain in contact with the beam. We hypothesized that these waves can be used to measure the stress of thermally loaded structures, or to infer the neutral temperature, i.e., the temperature at which this stress is null. We studied numerically and experimentally the mechanical interaction of one and two straight chains of spherical particles in contact with a prismatic beam that is subjected to heat. The results show that certain features of the waves are affected by the beam's stress. In the future, these findings may be used to develop a novel nondestructive evaluation technique for the prediction of neutral temperature and thermal buckling.

Additional information in the imaging data can be applied to identify the composition of the detected objects. The method described here demonstrates that material data in the form of the dielectric constant can be derived from the variation of reflectivity in millimeter waves over a range of frequencies from 18 to 40 GHz. By fitting the reflectivity to an optical model, the thickness and dielectric constant, including attenuation, can be computed. The method is applied to samples of inert substances and a military sheet explosive to show that detected anomalies can be distinguished as distinct materials through their dielectric constants. For absorptive materials, a frequency band of lower frequencies, 2–18 GHz, can be applied to detect the dielectric, as is demonstrated in the case of a commercial explosive. Used with AIT, the technique can facilitate the evaluation of threats at personnel checkpoints.

JO - Journal of Transportation Engineering JF - Journal of Transportation Engineering Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 142 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 4016004-1 EP - 4016004-11 SN - 0733947X AB - Traffic-speed deflectometers (TSD) are used in several countries to evaluate the pavement structural condition at the network level. Fatigue and rutting strains are commonly used as pavement critical responses in mechanistic-empirical design procedures to predict pavement structural performance. For successful pavement management system (PMS) application, robust indices that can be readily computed from TSD measurements and best related to the pavement critical responses should be identified. In this study, a comprehensive sensitivity analysis on deflection basin indices and their correlations with fatigue and rutting strains is performed using a range of pavement structures. A commercially available program was used in the first part of the study to compute dynamic deflection basins and evaluate the effects of material properties and vehicle speed on the indices. The indices that best relate to critical responses were identified from the software analyses and subsequently evaluated with a wider range of pavement structures analyzed using a layered linear-elastic program. Results from the TSD accuracy field evaluation were then used to further identify the robust indices in light of measurement accuracy. The study found that classifying pavement structures based on asphalt concrete (AC) thickness would be an appropriate selection for network-level PMS applications. Evaluation of 67 deflection basin indices showed that deflection slope indices DSI200-300 (D200-D300) and DSI300-900 (D300-D900) were well related indices with fatigue and rutting strains, respectively, and were selected to establish relationships with critical pavement responses for pavement categories based on AC layer thickness.

JO - Reliability Engineering & System Safety JF - Reliability Engineering & System Safety Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 147 M3 - Article SP - 93 EP - 108 SN - 09518320 AB - Current safety management of aerodrome operations uses judgements of severity categories to evaluate runway incursions. Incident data show a small minority of severe incursions and a large majority of less severe incursions. We show that these severity judgements are mainly based upon the outcomes of runway incursions, in particular on the closest distances attained. As such, the severity-based evaluation leads to coincidental safety management feedback, wherein causes and risk implications of runway incursions are not well considered. In this paper we present a new framework for the evaluation of runway incursions, which effectively uses all runway incursions, which judges same types of causes similarly, and which structures causes and risk implications. The framework is based on risks of scenarios associated with the initiation of runway incursions. As a basis an inventory of scenarios is provided, which can represent almost all runway incursions involving a conflict with an aircraft. A main step in the framework is the assessment of the conditional probability of a collision given a runway incursion scenario. This can be effectively achieved for large sets of scenarios by agent-based dynamic risk modelling. The results provide detailed feedback on risks of runway incursion scenarios, thus enabling effective safety management.

AB - The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) sponsored a multiyear pilot demonstration of Clear Signal for Action (CSA), a safety culture intervention implemented with Behavioral Science Technology Inc., at a Union Pacific (UP) service unit. CSA combines peer-to-peer feedback, continuous improvement, and safety-leadership development. The US Department of Transportation John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center conducted an independent program evaluation of the pilot, using qualitative and quantitative measures. The evaluation found that, over two years, the site experienced significant improvements in safety outcomes, operations, and safety culture, including an 80% drop in at-risk behaviors, a 79% decrease in engineer decertification rates, a 81% decline in the rate derailments and other incidents, and better labor–management relations. Comparison locations showed no improvements in the decertifications or derailments. The success of the pilot, in addition to successes UP had earlier with CSA-type processes, encouraged UP to expand these processes throughout its transportation department. The success of this pilot and other similar pilots led to the development and adoption of the FRA’s Railroad Safety Risk Reduction Program in the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008, and the implementation of similar safety-culture programs by other carriers.

JO - Automation in Construction JF - Automation in Construction Y1 - 2016/02// VL - 62 M3 - Article SP - 24 EP - 44 SN - 09265805 AB - This study presents the results of an ongoing research project conducted by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on developing an intelligent approach for structural damage detection. The proposed approach is established upon the simulation of the compressed data stored in memory chips of a newly developed self-powered wireless sensor. An innovative data interpretation system integrating finite element method (FEM) and probabilistic neural network (PNN) based on Bayesian decision theory is developed for damage detection. Several features extracted from the cumulative limited static strain data are used as damage indicator variables. Another contribution of this paper is to define indicator variables that simultaneously take into account the effect of array of sensors. The performance of the proposed approach is first evaluated for the case of a simply supported beam under three-point bending. Then, the efficiency of the method is tested for the complicated case of a bridge gusset plate. The beam and gusset plate structures are analyzed as 3D FE models. The static strain data from the FE simulations for different damage scenarios is used to calibrate the sensor-specific data interpretation algorithm. The viability and repeatability of the method is demonstrated by conducting a number of simulations. Furthermore, a general scheme is presented for finding the optimal number of data acquisition points (sensors) on the structure and the associated optimal locations. An uncertainty analysis is performed through the contamination of the damage indicator features with different Gaussian noise levels.

JO - Geomorphology JF - Geomorphology Y1 - 2016/01/15/ VL - 253 M3 - Article SP - 275 EP - 288 SN - 0169555X AB - The Oso, Washington, USA, landslide occurred on the morning of Saturday, 22 March 2014 and claimed the lives of 43 people. The landslide began within an ~ 200-m-high hillslope comprised of unconsolidated glacial and previous landslide/colluvial deposits; it continued as a debris avalanche/debris flow that rapidly inundated a neighborhood of 35 single-family residences. An intense three-week rainfall that immediately preceded the event most likely played a role in triggering the landslide; and other factors that likely contributed to destabilization of the landslide mass include alteration of the local groundwater recharge and hydrogeological regime from previous landsliding, weakening and alteration of the landslide mass caused by previous landsliding, and changes in stress distribution resulting from removal and deposition of material from earlier landsliding. Field reconnaissance following the event revealed six distinctive zones and several subzones that are characterized on the basis of geomorphic expression, styles of deformation, geologic materials, and the types, size, and orientation of vegetation. Seismic recording of the landslide indicate that the event was marked by several vibration-generating episodes of mass movement. We hypothesize that the landslide occurred in two stages, with the first being a sequential remobilization of existing slide masses from the most recent (2006) landslide and from an ancient slide that triggered a devastating debris avalanche/debris flow. The second stage involved headward extension into previously unfailed material that occurred in response to unloading and redirection of stresses.

The safety factors were improving commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver safety through federal regulations, increasing locomotive conspicuity with alerting lights, increasing locomotive conspicuity with reflectors, increasing sight lines, and improving warning device reliability. The authors estimated sensitivity and bias for eight warning devices associated with each safety factor. The authors also calculated the proportion of variance accounted for by each safety factor and device type to examine the reliability of each on grade-crossing safety. Driver decision making improved due to the warning device type and the introduction of the safety factor. Of the two, warning devices exerted the most impact because they encouraged drivers to stop at grade crossings. Regulations to improve CMV driver safety, alerting lights, sight lines, and reflectors were generally equally effective in improving grade-crossing safety. A comparison of the results from the descriptive model to that produced by a more traditional accident analysis suggest that examination of accident frequency alone may minimize the impact of important safety factors and emphasizes the need to consider accident frequency with respect to human behavioral metrics.

It is shown that the service life of such hydraulic fluids shortens several times if they are used at temperatures above 100°C and dissolved water contents above 0.5%. The critical concentrations of the anticorrosion additive at which its functional effectiveness is inadequate are determined. Accelerated tests using the proposed method can evaluate the effectiveness of the anticorrosion additive and predict the expected service life of phosphate-ester-based hydraulic fluids under the proposed application conditions.

NextGen programmes aim to improve the efficiency and predictability of gate-to-gate operations. They are also designed to support capacity management at large, congested airports and to foster better access in and out of busy metropolitan areas where the proximity of commercial and general aviation airports may create some challenges for air traffic controllers in approach and departure paths. This paper measures changes in four endogenous delay-related variables based on flight plan (on-time gate arrival, airborne, taxi-out and block delays) that affect different phases of a flight (arrival, en route, surface movement and gate-to-gate) when ceiling and visibility are in instrument meteorological conditions. Because of the interdependence of the variables in explaining performance outcomes, this study compares an ordinary least squares model with two-stage and three-stage least squares models to evaluate changes at Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) after the implementation of new procedures and routes on 29th May, 2014. Average excess miles flown and gate arrival delays represented the impact multipliers that affected the most the four endogenous variables before and after the implementation of new procedures and routes.

A total of six corridors in Virginia were tested, with extensive data collected over 6 months. The measurements of effectiveness (MOEs) adopted are mainline delay savings and travel time reliability measurements (95th percentile travel time and buffer index). All the before-and-after MOEs were compared using t-tests, and the Pearson correlation of the MOEs with respect to various quantitative site-specific factors was assessed to determine if effectiveness could be tied to specific site characteristics. The results indicate that the adaptive signal control system generally reduces delay by about 25% and improves travel time reliability by about 16%. The performance of ASC system is affected by site-specific factors, like annual average daily traffic, signal density, and access point density.

Fracture patterns binned into rib regional levels were examined to determine normative trends associated with belt use and other possible contributing factors.Methods: Front row adult occupants with Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) 3+ rib fractures, in frontal crashes with a deployed frontal airbag, were selected from the CIREN database. The circumferential location of each rib fracture (with respect to the sternum) was documented using a previously published method (Ritchie et al. 2006) and digital computed tomography scans. Fracture patterns for different crash and occupant parameters (restraint use, involved physical component, occupant kinematics, crash principal direction of force, and occupant age) were compared qualitatively and quantitatively.Results: There were 158 belted and 44 unbelted occupants included in this study. For belted occupants, fractures were mainly located near the path of the shoulder belt, with the majority of fractures occurring on the inboard (with respect to the vehicle) side of the thorax. For unbelted occupants, fractures were approximately symmetric and distributed across both sides of the thorax. There were negligible differences in fracture patterns between occupants with frontal (0°) and near side (330° to 350° for drivers; 10° to 30° for passengers) crash principal directions of force but substantial differences between groups when occupant kinematics (and contacts within the vehicle) were considered. Age also affected fracture pattern, with fractures tending to occur more anteriorly in older occupants and more laterally in younger occupants (both belted and unbelted).Conclusions: Results of this study confirmed with real-world data that rib fracture patterns in unbelted occupants were more distributed and symmetric across the thorax compared to belted occupants in crashes with a deployed frontal airbag. Other factors, such as occupant kinematics and occupant age, also produced differing patterns of fractures. Normative data on rib fracture patterns in real-world occupants can contribute to understanding injury mechanisms and the role of different causation factors, which can ultimately help prevent fractures and improve vehicle safety.

Methods:Two PMHS (outboard left front and rear seat occupants) for MDB and one PMHS (outboard left front seat occupant) for pole tests were used. Both tests used sedan-type vehicles from same manufacturer with side airbags. Pretest x-ray and computed tomography (CT) images were obtained. Three-point belt-restrained surrogates were positioned in respective outboard seats. Accelerometers were secured to T1, T6, and T12 spines; sternum and pelvis; seat tracks; floor; center of gravity; and MDB. Load cells were used on the pole. Biomechanical data were gathered at 20 kHz. Outboard and inboard high-speed cameras were used for kinematics. X-rays and CT images were taken and autopsy was done following the test. The Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) 2005 scoring scheme was used to score injuries. Results:MDB test: male (front seat) and female (rear seat) PMHS occupant demographics: 52 and 57 years, 177 and 166 cm stature, 78 and 65 kg total body mass. Demographics of the PMHS occupant in the pole test: male, 26 years, 179 cm stature, and 84 kg total body mass. Front seat PMHS in MDB test: 6 near-side rib fractures (AIS = 3): 160–265 mm vertically from suprasternal notch and 40–80 mm circumferentially from center of sternum. Left rear seat PMHS responded with multiple bilateral rib fractures: 9 on the near side and 5 on the contralateral side (AIS = 3). One rib fractured twice. On the near and contralateral sides, fractures were 30–210 and 20–105 mm vertically from the suprasternal notch and 90–200 and 55–135 mm circumferentially from the center of sternum. A fracture of the left intertrochanteric crest occurred (AIS = 3). Pole test PMHS had one near-side third rib fracture. Thoracic accelerations of the 2 occupants were different in the MDB test. Though both occupants sustained positive and negativex-accelerations to the sternum, peak magnitudes and relative changes were greater for the rear than the front seat occupant. Magnitudes of the thoracic and sternum accelerations were lower in the pole test. Conclusions:This is the first study to use PMHS occupants in MDB and pole tests in the same recent model year vehicles with side airbag and head curtain restraints. Injuries to the unilateral thorax for the front seat PMHS in contrast to the bilateral thorax and hip for the rear seat occupant in the MDB test indicate the effects of impact on the seating location and restraint system. Posterolateral locations of fractures to the front seat PMHS are attributed to constrained kinematics of occupant interaction with torso side airbag restraint system. Angled loading to the rear seat occupant from coupled sagittal and coronal accelerations of the sternum representing anterior thorax loading contributed to bilateral fractures. Inward bending initiated by the distal femur complex resulting in adduction of ipsilateral lower extremity resulted in intertrochanteric fracture to the rear seat occupant. These results serve as a data set for evaluating the biofidelity of the WorldSID and federalized side impact dummies and assist in validating human body computational models, which are increasingly used in crashworthiness studies.

In this paper, the time-dependent temperature profile within an asphalt concrete layer is modeled as the heat conduction problem in a one-layer pavement system, where the surface boundary condition is simply the pavement surface-temperature history during the time period of interest. An infinite series solution for asphalt layer temperature prediction was derived using measured pavement surface temperatures. The main mathematical tools employed in deriving the analytical solution are separation of variables and Duhamel's principle. Mathematically, the infinite series are proven to converge uniformly over the finite physical domain at a fixed time t. Field validation based on measured in situ temperature data demonstrated that the proposed closed-form solution generated reasonable transient temperature profiles in the asphalt layer for a two-layer pavement system. The proposed algorithm is easy to be applied in assisting field engineers to rapidly estimate asphalt pavement temperature profiles based on measured pavement surface-temperature data.

The temperature history of the water bath for each of these boundary conditions (methods) is well described by the two-term solution for the calorimeter response to a heat impulse (combustion), allowing the heat transfer coefficients and thermal capacities of the bomb and water bath to be determined parametrically. The validated heat transfer model provides an expression for direct calculation of the heat released in an arbitrary process inside a bomb calorimeter using the temperature history of the water bath for each of the boundary conditions (methods). This result makes possible the direct calculation of the heat of combustion of a sample in an isoperibol calorimeter from the recorded temperature history without the need for semi-empirical temperature corrections to account for non-adiabatic behavior. Another useful result is that the maximum temperature rise of the water bath in the static jacket method is proportional to the total heat generated, and the empirical proportionality constant, which is determined by calibration, accounts for all of the heat losses and thermal lags of the calorimeter.

Sixty-one general aviation pilots trained on four challenging commercial transport tasks under one of four different motion conditions: no motion, small hexapod, large hexapod, and Vertical Motion Simulator motion. Then, every pilot repeated the tasks in a check with Vertical Motion Simulator motion to determine if training with different motion conditions had an effect on task performance. New objective motion criteria guided the selection of the motion parameters for the small and large hexapod conditions. Considering results that were statistically significant, or marginally significant, the motion condition used in training affected 1) longitudinal and lateral touchdown position, 2) the number of secondary stall warnings in a stall recovery, 3) pilot ratings of motion utility and maximum load factor obtained in an overbanked upset recovery, and 4) pilot ratings of motion utility and pedal input reaction time in an engine-out-on-takeoff task. Because the training motion conditions revealed statistical differences on objective measures in all the tasks performed in the Vertical Motion Simulator motion check, with some in the direction not predicted, trainers should be cautious not to oversimplify the effects of platform motion. Evidence suggests that the new objective motion criteria may offer valid standardization benefits because increases in the training motion fidelity, as predicted by the two conditions covered by the criteria, resulted in expected trends in pilot ratings and objective performance measures.

Although analysts may not always know with certainty which regime prevails and how long it may last, they can compute the transition probabilities and expected duration of each regime. After the implementation, there was a 91% chance that departure throughputs would remain unconstrained (up from 86% before implementation) and a 37% chance that departure throughputs would become constrained (up from 35% before implementation).

AB - Objective: To examine the basic discriminability of weather display symbols and to assess the effects of weather display symbology on pilot behavior and decision-making. Method: During a cockpit simulation, 24 instrument-rated general aviation (GA) pilots were randomly allocated to one of three simulation groups. Pilots flew a Cessna 172 single-engine GA aircraft under Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC) and Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) while avoiding hazardous weather. We manipulated the weather display so that each pilot group used a different weather symbology (i.e., symbols and colors). We measured dependent variables for weather avoidance, communication, weather display usage, and cognitive engagement (i.e., oxygenation from Functional Near-Infrared [fNIR] measures). During a change-detection experiment, 20 naïve participants performed a detection task of changes in Aviation Routine Weather Reports (METARs), precipitation, Significant Meteorological Information (SIGMET), lightning, and time-stamp images. Results: The simulation outcome showed credible pilot group differences in weather deviations, cognitive engagement, and weather display usage. The change-detection experiment revealed credible differences in discriminability of METAR, SIGMET, and lightning symbols. Conclusion: Symbol and color variations in weather displays contribute to perceptual asymmetries which affect pilot behavior and decision-making. We recommend the development of cockpit applications that use weather data to automatically track hazardous conditions and alert the pilot of potential weather conflicts or weather changes.

While the use of paroxetine is considered relatively safe, negative side effects, including nausea, drowsiness, insomnia and dizziness, can adversely affect a pilot's ability to safely operate an aircraft. The use of paroxetine may increase suicidal behavior and suicidal ideation. When relying on postmortem specimens for toxico- logical evaluation, a general understanding of drug distribution throughout postmortem specimens is important. This laboratory has determined the distribution of paroxetine in postmortem tissues and fluids from nine aviation accident fatalities. Specimens were pro- cessed using an n-butyl chloride liquid/liquid extraction followed by gas chromatographic/mass spectrometeric analysis. Blood parox- etine concentrations obtained from these cases ranged from 0.019 to 0.865 mg/mL. The distribution of paroxetine, expressed as mean specimen/blood ratio, was 1.67 + 1.16 urine (n 5 4), 0.08 + 0.04 vitreous humor (n 5 6), 5.77 + 1.37 liver (n 5 8), 9.66 + 2.58 lung (n 5 9), 1.44 + 0.57 kidney (n 5 8), 3.80 + 0.69 spleen (n 5 8), 0.15 + 0.04 muscle (n 5 8), 4.27 + 2.64 brain (n 5 7) and 1.05 + 0.43 heart (n 5 8). The large standard deviations associated with the paroxetine distribution coefficients suggest that paroxetine can experience significant postmortem concentration changes.

Multilevel logistic regression was used to estimate parameters describing the relationship among visitor responses, aircraft noise dose metrics, and mediator variables. For the regression models, survey responses were converted to three dichotomous variables, representing visitors who did or did not experience slightly or more, moderately or more, or very or more annoyance or interference with natural quiet from aircraft noise. Models with the most predictive power included noise dose metrics of sound exposure level, percent time aircraft were audible, and percentage energy due to helicopters and fixed-wing propeller aircraft. These models also included mediator variables: visitor ratings of the "importance of calmness, peace and tranquility," visitor group composition (adults or both adults and children), first visit to the site, previously taken an air tour, and participation in bird-watching or interpretive talks. The results complement and extend previous research conducted in frontcountry areas and will inform evaluations of air tour noise effects on visitors to national parks and remote wilderness sites.

JO - North Carolina Archaeology JF - North Carolina Archaeology Y1 - 2015/10// VL - 64 M3 - Article SP - 104 EP - 120 SN - 1546797X AB - Immunological or blood protein analysis is a method for extracting and identifying ancient animal proteins preserved within microfractures of stone tools or other artifacts. Cross-over immunoelectrophoresis (CIEP) has been applied successfully in the analysis and interpretation of protein residues on archaeological materials for more than 25 years. Here, we report the results of CIEP on a sample of 11 Early Archaic hafted hifaces and one Clovis hafted biface recovered from the Fort Bragg military installation in the North Carolina Sandhills. Four of the 12 artifacts produced positive reactions to available antigens. These reactions include Galliformes (i.e., quail, grouse, or other gallinaceous fowl) on a large Clovis hafted biface, cat on a Hardaway Side-Notched hafted biface, deer and rabbit from a Big Sandy/Rowan hafted biface, and, perhaps most notably, bovine from a Hardaway-Dalton hafted biface. The identification of bovine (presumably B. bison) on a Hardaway-Dalton is particularly interesting given its context from site 3 1HK118 (Sicily), a large lithic scatter that has produced numerous Paleoindian and Early Archaic tools and sits along the spine of the major watershed divide of Fort Bragg. While additional immunological analyses are needed to verify this finding, the implications of bison hunting may be significant for understanding Early Archaic settlement. Likewise, the association of gallinaceous fowl with Clovis highlights the findings of other immunological studies and suggests that a broad range of animal species was targeted by Clovis hunters.

This study defined the sensitivity of CTE, based on pavement design analyses using material and data samples from the field projects. The CTE’s level of precision was examined along with its impacts on the predicted distresses, service life, and pavement thickness for the desired design life. A precision of ±0.5 με/°C was found to have minimal impact (±1.3 cm) on the optimized pavement thicknesses predicted. Also, observed differences in predicted service life further demonstrate the sensitivity of the CTE.

SN - 00152684 AB - A previous study of poly(arylether-ether-ketone) showed that the ignitability of this high temperature engineering plastic is sensitive to the presence of absorbed moisture. The present research extends this work to include five other engineering plastics: polycarbonate, polyoxymethylene, polymethylmethacrylate, polyphenylsulfone and polyhexamethyleneadipamide (PC, POM, PMMA, PPSU and PA66 respectively). Separate batches of each polymer were equilibrated in hot (80°C) water, 50% relative humidity at 20°C, or vacuum dried at 100°C and tested in a cone calorimeter at heat fluxes between 10 kW/m and 75 kW/m. These hygrothermally-conditioned samples were also examined by microscale combustion calorimetry to determine the effect of moisture on the thermal, decomposition, and combustion properties. It was found that absorbed moisture did not change the thermal decomposition or ignition temperatures significantly, but was released as steam that formed microscopic surface bubbles at or above the softening (glass transition or melting) temperature of the polymer. The phase change from bound water to steam entrained in the polymer melt (foam) significantly reduced the ignition time compared to dry samples. Attempts were made to account for the moisture-sensitive ignition delay in terms of thermal properties, chemical processes governing ignition, and a numerical pyrolysis model.

JO - Forensic Science International JF - Forensic Science International Y1 - 2015/09// VL - 254 M3 - Article SP - 18 EP - 25 SN - 03790738 AB - Improvements to vehicle frontal crashworthiness have led to reductions in toe pan and instrument panel intrusions as well as leg, foot, and ankle loadings in standardized crash tests. Current field data, however, suggests the proportion of foot and ankle injuries sustained by drivers in frontal crashes has not decreased over the past two decades. To explain the inconsistency between crash tests results and real world lower limb injury prevalence, this study investigated the injury causation scenario for the specific hind-foot injury patterns observed in frontal vehicle crashes. Thirty-four cases with leg, foot, and ankle injuries were selected from the Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network (CIREN) database. Talus fractures were present in 20 cases, representing the most frequent hind-foot skeletal injuries observed among the reviewed cases. While axial compression was the predominant loading mechanism causing 18 injuries, 11 injured ankles involved inversion or eversion motion, and 5 involved dorsiflexion as the injury mechanism. Injured ankles of drivers were more biased towards the right aspect with foot pedals contributing to injuries in 13 of the 34 cases. Combined, the results suggest that despite recent advancement of vehicle performance in crash tests, efforts to reduce axial forces sustained in lower extremity should be prioritized. The analysis of injury mechanisms in this study could aid in crash reconstructions and the development of safety systems for vehicles.

Although prefabricated concrete components are produced in a controlled environment, field-cast grouts have at times shown serviceability issues mainly associated with dimensional stability. This paper assesses the dimensional stability (primarily shrinkage) of a total of seven prebagged grouts currently used in the construction industry. Their shrinkage performance is compared to that of an ultrahigh-performance concrete. The feasibility of the test methods used for evaluating the dimensional stability of nonshrink grouts is also discussed. Although many grouts are referred to as nonshrink materials, the results show shrinkage, especially in drying conditions. The use of the internal curing technology as an emerging solution for mitigating shrinkage in grout-type materials is also discussed. The results obtained in two of the cement-based grouts, including internal curing, show a reduction of both autogenous and drying shrinkage. Based on the results obtained, recommendations are given to end-users to provide guidance in selecting an appropriate grout-type material.

JO - Journal of Bridge Engineering JF - Journal of Bridge Engineering Y1 - 2015/08// VL - 20 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 6014001-1 EP - 6014001-5 SN - 10840702 AB - The time-dependent concrete creep and shrinkage effects on segmental bridges aremore critical than on other types of concrete bridges. Creep strains develop more when concrete is loaded in a younger age than in an older age, and it affects more on loss of prestressing and displacements because of prestressing. Creep and shrinkage analyses are considered an essential part for segmental bridge design and analysis, especially for the cast in situ segmental bridges or concrete bridges with an application of large quantities of prestressing. The introduction of a creep/ shrinkage mathematicmodel into the formation of a stiffness matrix limits the evolution of a finite-element analysis (FEA) package and the adoption of a new model. Based on the fact that the creep development is nonlinear only in the time domain and linear to loadings, this paper introduces a novel time incrementalmethod for creep and shrinkage analysis and its implementation to a FEA package. The equilibriumafter a tiny time step will be reached to balance whatever creep and shrinkage strains have developed during that time. The incremental redistribution loads will cause further creep effects at an older loading age. In addition to external loads caused by construction phase changes at specific time ordinates, each incremental redistribution load will act as an external load at a corresponding time. With today's advanced computer technologies, the integration of these effects can be solved. The advantage of this simplified method is the separation of the creep/shrinkagemodel and FEAkernel. It is favorable to a modern modular bridge design and analysis system. A T-shape frame bridge constructed segmentally is included as a case study to illustrate the application of this method.

A motorless unit and a method of evaluation of deposit forming tendency of automotive gasolines in spray injection systems are developed. The criterion of numerical evaluation of pollutants based on degree of darkening of spray injector bottom is proposed. The results of tests, by the proposed method, of individual hydrocarbons and their mixtures as well as of several gasolines of different producers are adduced. Among the individual hydrocarbons, unsaturated hydrocarbons and nitrogen-bearing compounds contribute the most to deposit formation, and additivity and synergy effect are not typical for the deposit formation process. Among the commercial gasolines, those containing MMA (monomethyl aniline) or a substantial quantity of catalytically cracked fractions and not containing detergent additives exhibit maximum deposit forming tendency. Minimal deposit formation is typical for gasolines containing detergent additives.

Data from 55 pilots involved in fatal aviation accidents are presented in this study. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis obtained mean THC concentrations in blood from multiple sites, liver, lung, and kidney of 15.6 ng/mL, 92.4 ng/g, 766.0 ng/g, 44.1 ng/g and mean THCCOOH concentrations of 35.9 ng/mL, 322.4 ng/g, 42.6 ng/g, 138.5 ng/g, respectively. Heart THC concentrations (two cases) were 184.4 and 759.3 ng/g, and corresponding THCCOOH measured 11.0 and 95.9 ng/g, respectively. Muscle concentrations for THC (two cases) were 16.6 and 2.5 ng/g; corresponding THCCOOH, 'confirmed positive' and 1.4 ng/g. The only brain tested in this study showed no THC detected and 2.9 ng/g THCCOOH, low concentrations that correlated with low values in other specimens from this case. This research emphasizes the need for postmortem cannabinoid testing and demonstrates the usefulness of a number of tissues, most notably lung, for these analyses.

Premature return increases risk for not only second-impact syndrome during the acute phase but also permanent changes from repetitive concussions. Thus, there is a critical need for return-to-duty (RTD) assessment criteria that encompass the spectrum of injury and disease experienced by US soldiers, particularly TBI. Objectives: To provide evidence-based standards to eventually serve as criteria for operational competence and performance of a soldier after injury. Specifically, the relationships between clinical assessments and novel military-specific tasks were evaluated. Method: Exploratory analyses (including nonparametric tests and Spearman rank correlations) of an archived database. Participants: A total of 79 patients with TBI who participated in an RTD assessment program at a US Army rehabilitation and recovery center. Main Measures: Military Functional Assessment Program (to determine a soldier's operational competence and performance after TBI) tasks; Dizziness Handicap Inventory; Dynamic Visual Acuity (vestibular function); Sensory Organization Test (postural control); Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (neuropsychological screening test); Beck Depression Inventory-II; Beck Anxiety Inventory; Comprehensive Trail Making Test (visual search and sequencing); posttraumatic stress disorder checklist military version; Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test; Epworth Sleepiness Scale; Patient Health Questionnaire; and Military Acute Concussion Evaluation. Results: Selected military operational assessment tasks correlated significantly with clinical measures of vestibular function, psychological well-being, and cognitive function. Differences on occupational therapy assessments, a concussion screening tool, and a self-report health questionnaire were seen between those who passed and those who failed the RTD assessment. Specifically, those who passed the RTD assessment scored more favorably on these clinical assessments. Conclusions: This study demonstrated convergent validity between Military Functional Assessment Program tasks and clinical assessment scores. The Military Functional Assessment Program shows promise for augmenting decision making related to RTD and soldier skills. Additional research is needed to determine the effectiveness of this program in predicting RTD success.

JO - Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering JF - Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering Y1 - 2015/07// VL - 27 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 4014204-1 EP - 4014204-1 SN - 08991561 AB - In the current trend of sustainability, the concrete community has been aggressively looking into adopting green construction material practices and at the same time improving concrete quality and performance for extensive service life and adaptive reuse. Concrete is the construction material most used in the world, with an estimated yearly production of 2.35 billion tons worldwide. In the United States, it is estimated that on average approximately 5% of the ready-mix concrete produced is unused and returned to the plant with only a small portion reused. Such a material when further processed, identified as crushed returned concrete aggregate (CCA), has a significant residual value because among other things it is free of contaminants and has better quality than recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). The objective of this study was to assess the shrinkage behavior of CCA concrete mixtures produced with aggregate from returned concrete. The aggregate was prepared from concrete of different strength. The virgin aggregate (stone) was replaced either partially or at 100% level in the concrete mixtures. The response of the hyperbolic shrinkage prediction model was examined, and based on the experimental results an alternative model is proposed. The proposed model and methodology can be used to estimate the drying shrinkage of CCA mixtures, and eventually can be adopted for assessing the shrinkage behavior of these concrete mixtures in other regions.

Objectives: To provide evidence-based standards to eventually serve as criteria for operational competence and performance of a soldier after injury. Specifically, the relationships between clinical assessments and novel military-specific tasks were evaluated. Method: Exploratory analyses (including nonparametric tests and Spearman rank correlations) of an archived database. Participants: A total of 79 patients with TBI who participated in an RTD assessment program at a US Army rehabilitation and recovery center. Main Measures: Military Functional Assessment Program (to determine a soldier’s operational competence and performance after TBI) tasks; Dizziness Handicap Inventory; Dynamic Visual Acuity (vestibular function); Sensory Organization Test (postural control); Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (neuropsychological screening test); Beck Depression Inventory-II; Beck Anxiety Inventory; Comprehensive Trail Making Test (visual search and sequencing); posttraumatic stress disorder checklist military version; Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test; Epworth Sleepiness Scale; Patient Health Questionnaire; and Military Acute Concussion Evaluation. Results: Selected military operational assessment tasks correlated significantly with clinical measures of vestibular function, psychological well-being, and cognitive function. Differences on occupational therapy assessments, a concussion screening tool, and a self-report health questionnaire were seen between those who passed and those who failed the RTD assessment. Specifically, those who passed the RTD assessment scored more favorably on these clinical assessments. Conclusions: This study demonstrated convergent validity between Military Functional Assessment Program tasks and clinical assessment scores. The Military Functional Assessment Program shows promise for augmenting decision making related to RTD and soldier skills. Additional research is needed to determine the effectiveness of this program in predicting RTD success.

JO - Journal of Engineering Mechanics JF - Journal of Engineering Mechanics Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 141 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 SN - 07339399 AB - Slender columns subjected to compressive stress are common in many civil structures. The rapid in situ measurement of this stress may prevent structural buckling. In this study, the authors applied an artificial neural network (ANN) to process numerical data that describe the coupling mechanism between highly nonlinear solitary waves (HNSWs) propagating along a granular system and a beam in contact with the granular medium. The aim is to evaluate the ability of HNSWs to measure stress in thermally loaded structures and to estimate the neutral temperature, i.e., the temperature at which the stress is null. Nonlinear solitary waves are compact nondispersive waves that can form and travel in nonlinear systems such as one-dimensional chains of particles, where they are conventionally generated by the mechanical impact of a striker. The authors numerically investigated a straight chain of spherical particles in contact with a prismatic beam subjected to thermal stress. The effect of the neutral temperature on certain features of the waves was examined. These features then were fed into an ANN with the aim of estimating the neutral temperature. In the future, the findings presented in this paper may be used to develop a novel sensing system for the nondestructive prediction of neutral temperature and thermal buckling.

JO - Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering JF - Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering Y1 - 2015/06// VL - 27 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 SN - 08991561 AB - The lightweight deflectometer (LWD) is a portable device that measures surface deflections and applied force, from which dynamic stiffness and elastic modulus can be estimated. The inclusion of radial offset sensors with LWD testing, referred to here as multiple sensor LWD testing, stemmed from the well-established falling weight deflectometer (FWD) testing method. However, little research exists in the literature addressing LWD use on stabilized or lightly bound layers with multiple sensors, or exploring the applicability of backcalculating/ isolating layer moduli from multiple sensor LWD tests. To this end, over 200 multiple sensor LWD tests on stabilized base materials were performed at five sites and rigorously analyzed to determine if the test could capture growth in stabilized base stiffness while the underlying subgrade layer remained unchanged. Deflection results demonstrate that the LWD test is capable of detecting changes in the stiffness of the stabilized base material during curing as illustrated by the decreasing magnitude in center deflections. Furthermore, radial offset deflections measuring 60 cm from the plate center remained constant during curing, providing valuable information about the subgrade support. The findings made directly from the deflections were confirmed via an analytical backcalculation using Boussinesq's equations and Odemark's method of equivalent thickness. The use of multiple sensor LWD testing allows for a richer interpretation of earthwork behavior than the traditional center deflection LWD results.

One concept being studied for alternative position navigation and timing (APNT) is a ground based passive ranging system. This system has few capacity constraints and can provide other benefits. The APNT passive ranging system would use existing FAA terrestrial infrastructure, particularly distance measuring equipment (DME) ground beacons. APNT project team has developed a DME Pseudolite (PL) concept that enables a passive ranging signal on DME that is compatible with existing DME operations. It can provide additional benefits for APNT and non-APNT users with its data transmission. This paper introduces the DME PL concept and assesses the potential performance of the system. The paper focuses on signal structure design for best data capacity. It formulates a methodology and modeling for the developing the design. Copyright © 2015 Institute of Navigation.

This study explored how provider demographic and work-related characteristics were associated with five different forms of workplace violence (being cursed or threatened; being punched, slapped, or scratched; being spat upon; being stabbed/stabbing attempt; and being shot/shooting attempt). A cohort of nationally registered United States Emergency Medical Services professionals was surveyed to determine the experience of each of these types of patient initiated violence by these providers and their partners. Multivariable logistic regression analyses indicated gender was significantly associated with both being cursed/threatened and being stabbed or experiencing a stabbing attempt (odds ratio (OR) = 0.65, CI = 0.44–0.96; OR = 0.27, CI = 0.09–0.75, resp.). Level of EMT practice was significantly associated with being cursed/threatened, being spat upon, and being punched, slapped, or scratched (OR = 0.17, CI = 0.11–0.27; OR = 0.30, CI = 0.21–0.43; OR = 0.31, CI = 0.22–0.44, resp.). Both community size and experience were significantly associated with all the types of violence investigated. EMS workplace violence research is at its infancy; thus this study adds to a limited but growing body of knowledge.

We asked what specific dimensions of PM practices have been most helpful to project and program managers of Test and Evaluation (T&E). This paper focuses on T&E PM within the Federal Aviation Administration, an agency of the US government. The objective was to identify the critical dimensions of PM that contribute to successful T&E execution and determine how these critical dimensions could be unified with technical processes to achieve customer satisfaction. By combining the expressive abilities of the Boardman Soft Systems Methodology with a case study approach, we identified a set of critical dimensions and created a conceptual model that unifies PM practices with T&E processes. We concluded with a set of critical project management practices that have impact for a T&E organization.

The operational conditions experienced by the airplanes are studied as well as the magnitude of the vertical loads. The airplanes are flown in four different types of missions in U.S. Forest Service operation. Data from 1853 flights and seven aircraft are presented. Spectra are shown for gust and maneuver loads, separated using the two-second rule. These are given for the entire flight for various mean sea-level altitudes. In addition, the combined loads are presented and compared to existing data and Federal Aviation Regulation 23. It is shown that these aircraft are operated well within their design envelope. It is demonstrated that, although gust loads are comparable to those outlined in Federal Aviation Regulation 23, the maneuver load frequencies far exceed those of typical airframe use. Although these results do not warrant changes to Federal Aviation Regulation 23, they highlight the need for modified airframe maintenance and inspection procedures as well as the estimated airframe fatigue life.

The capacity of these interchanges is largely determined by the number of lanes, the demands of the various movements, the storage spaces for different movements, and the signal-timing strategies. This paper studies the advantages of using dynamic reversible lanes for left-turn movements. In traditional diamond interchanges, the bay lengths cannot change; however, if signal times are adjusted to give more time to an approach when traffic counts are heavier in one direction (such as the shifts between morning and evening peak), this limitation in capacity can be mitigated. In this work, several diamond interchange designs are studied. The optimized traditional diamond interchange performance is compared, in simulation, to the proposed dynamic reversible lane case. Situations are identified in which a dynamic reversible left-lane control would be beneficial in reducing delay and increasing throughput for the interchange.

AB - Despite the progress made in diversity hiring and promotion initiatives, minority men and women in the federal government remain underrepresented in the senior executive service workforce. An exploratory case study of 12 minority men and 12 minority women in a federal agency described and explored the perceived personal barriers and challenges experienced with SES advancement. The subfocus explored the perceived influence of support received from agency leaders on SES career advancement. This study was grounded in the expectancy theory and the motivation–hygiene theory to support the career advancement and promotion framework. From the thematic patterns personal and institutional barriers eight themes emerged to offer insight into how taking charge of career development and receiving support from agency leaders can help minority men and women with SES advancement. Future recommendations are outlined.

Experiments were conducted on 22 hydrocarbon, heteroatom and halogen-containing polymers of known composition over a wide range of combustion temperatures and oxygen concentrations. At high temperatures and excess oxygen when combustion was complete, the oxygen consumed (ΔO 2 ) and CO 2 produced by combustion of the pyrolysis gases were in quantitative agreement with theoretical values for all of these charring and non-charring polymers. At lower combustor temperatures, halogen-containing polymers exhibited significantly reduced fuel oxidation rates, as evidenced by a shift in maximum ΔO 2 , CO and CO 2 yields to much higher temperatures.

JO - Experimental Mechanics JF - Experimental Mechanics Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 55 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 543 EP - 558 SN - 00144851 AB - Slender beams subjected to compressive load are common in civil engineering. The rapid in-situ measurement of this stress may help preventing structural anomalies. In this article, we describe the coupling mechanism between highly nonlinear solitary waves (HNSWs) propagating along an L-shaped granular system and a beam in contact with the granular medium. We evaluate the use of these waves to measure stress in thermally loaded structures and to estimate the neutral temperature, i.e. the temperature at which the stress is null. We investigate numerically and experimentally one and two L-shaped chains of spherical particles in contact with a prismatic beam subjected to heat. We find that certain features of the solitary waves are affected by the beam's stress. In the future these findings may be used to develop a novel sensing system for the nondestructive prediction of neutral temperature and thermal buckling.

One key element of the risk assessment is the uncorrected fleet risk, which estimates the fatalities that may occur over the remaining life of the fleet if no corrective action is taken. The uncorrected fleet risk incorporates the number of airplanes that are expected to develop damage such as cracking, whether the damage is likely to be detected over the life of the airplane, the probability that the damage will lead to an unsafe outcome such as a crash, in-flight breakup, runway departure, or individual fatality, and the historic fatality rate of the unsafe outcome. This paper presents tools that have been developed to perform the risk analysis in accordance with existing Federal Aviation Administration Orders and Policy Statements. An example analysis demonstrates the method and tools for calculating uncorrected fleet risk and illustrates the relative significance of the parameters involved in the calculation.

The pultruded rod stitched efficient unitized structure concept provides a lightweight alternative to aluminum or traditional composite design concepts and is applicable to traditional-shaped fuselage barrels and wings, as well as advanced configurations such as a hybrid wing-body or truss-braced wings. Therefore, NASA, the Federal Aviation Administration, and The Boeing Company partnered in an effort to assess the performance and damage arrestments capabilities of the pultruded rod stitched efficient unitized structure concept by testing a full-scale curved panel in the Federal Aviation Administration full-scale aircraft structural test evaluation and research facility. Testing was conducted in this facility by subjecting the panel to axial tension loads applied to the ends of the panel, internal pressure, and combined axial tension and internal pressure loadings. Additionally, reactive hoop loads were applied to the skin and frames of the panel along its edges. The panel successfully supported the required design loads in the pristine condition and with a severed stiffener. The panel also demonstrated that the pultruded rod stitched efficient unitized structure concept could arrest the progression of damage, including crack arrestment and crack turning. This paper presents the nonlinear posttest analysis and correlation with test results for the curved pultruded rod stitched efficient unitized structure panel. It is shown that nonlinear analysis can accurately calculate the behavior of this panel under tension, pressure, and combined loading conditions.

JO - Journal of Bridge Engineering JF - Journal of Bridge Engineering Y1 - 2015/03// VL - 20 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - -1 SN - 10840702 AB - Ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) presents many superior properties, such as advanced strength, durability, and long-term stability. The use of existing cross section geometries for materials with advanced properties results in inefficient designs and less cost-effective solutions. This study focused on developing a series of finite-element optimized sections of pi-girders to effectively utilize the superior mechanical properties of UHPC over span lengths of up to 41 m (135 ft). The research was performed using a finite-element model that has been calibrated and verified against experimental results. The optimization was progressively conducted at local, element, and structural levels. At the local level, the focus of the investigation was to find the optimal deck thickness and prevent transverse bending failure of the deck. At the element level, sectional parameters, including girder height, bulb size, web thickness, and strand layouts, were investigated to find the minimal sectional size that accommodates standard loads for a span length of 23 m (75 ft) or above. At the structural level, deflection under a live load was checked such that the bridge system using the proposed sections can meet the deflection requirements specified in guidelines. Four cross sections based on the second generation pi-girder were proposed, and a design chart was provided to facilitate preliminary design for bridge engineers.

AB - Objective: To assess General Aviation (GA) pilots' perception of changes in aviation routine weather report (METAR) symbols. Method: Sixty instrument-rated GA pilots were randomly assigned to one of three METAR symbology groups. We assessed pilots' ability to detect changes to the METAR symbols during a simulated flight, and examined the relationship between detection performance and pilots' flight behavior, cognitive engagement, and decision making. Results: Depending on the symbology, pilots varied considerably in their overall detection of METAR symbol change during flight. Pilots who detected the METAR-symbol changes differed in their cognitive engagement compared to pilots who did not detect the changes. Conclusion: Weather presentation symbology affects pilots' perception of symbol change and cognitive engagement. Relevance to industry: The simulation outcome provides important data on the perception of weather-presentation symbology important to the design and optimization of cockpit weather displays.

Various clustering approaches have been proposed in recent years mainly for high-volume roads. These methods require site-specific information to determine the design location cluster. In most cases for secondary road pavements, such data are missing due to resource constraints. In this paper, a simplified approach is developed to generate traffic loading for secondary road pavement design. With WIM data in Arkansas, theK-means cluster algorithm is applied and simplified Truck Traffic Classification clusters are developed. This method only requires prior knowledge of the dominant truck distributions on the design location and will alleviate the work related to traffic load data preparation. A case study is provided to illustrate the applicability of using the simplified clusters to generate Level 2 traffic inputs for DARWin-ME.

It provides a structured framework that can be used to perform a step-by-step safety analysis of a system. This paper details how to apply this method to safety-related scientific software. In this paper, we have developed (1) a nomenclature that singles out 30 primary concepts (2) a canonic set of abstractions of software programming constructs as a function of the primary concepts; (3) a process of translation from an existing design representation to the target design representation in the form of finite state machines; (4) HAZOP templates for each canonical form; and (5) an input variable prioritization method. We also developed a computational tool that can be used to perform HAZOP analysis of scientific software. Its results are compared with those obtained during manual HAZOP analysis by calculating the value of Shannon entropy, correctness, and the time required to perform each analysis. Overall, this method helps identify useful information about the impact of variables in the code that can then be utilized to develop robust code for making safety-critical decisions.

AB - This study tested whether trait emotional intelligence (TEI) measures of narrow bandwidth predict perception of facial emotion, using two tasks: identification of microexpressions of emotion and controlled visual search for target emotions. A total of 129 undergraduates completed multiple scales for TEI, as well as cognitive ability, personality, and stress measures. TEI was associated with a reduced stress response, but failed to predict performance on either task, contrary to the initial hypothesis. However, performance related significantly to higher cognitive intelligence, subjective task engagement, and use of task-focused coping. Individual differences in attentional resources may support processing of both emotive and non-emotive stimuli.

JO - Construction & Building Materials JF - Construction & Building Materials Y1 - 2015/01/30/ VL - 75 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 SN - 09500618 AB - Limestone (calcium carbonate, CaCO 3 ) has long been a critical component of concrete, whether as the primary raw material for cement production, a fine powder added to the binder component, or a source of fine and/or coarse aggregate. This paper focuses on the latter two of these examples, providing a multi-scale investigation of the influences of both fine limestone powder and conventional limestone aggregates on concrete performance. Fine limestone powder in the form of calcite provides a favorable surface for the nucleation and growth of calcium silicate hydrate gel at early ages, accelerating and amplifying silicate hydration, and a source of carbonate ions to participate in reactions with the aluminate phases present in the cement (and fly ash). Conversely, the aragonite polymorph of CaCO 3 exhibits a different crystal (and surface) structure and therefore neither accelerates nor amplifies silicate hydration at a similar particle size/surface area. However, because these two forms of CaCO 3 have similar solubilities in water, the aragonite does contribute to an enhancement in the reactivity of the aluminate phases in the investigated systems, chiefly via carboaluminate formation. In 100% ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concretes, 10% of the OPC by volume can be replaced with an equivalent volume of limestone powder, while maintaining acceptable performance. A comparison between limestone and siliceous aggregates indicates that the former often provide higher measured compressive strengths at equivalent levels of hydration, even when the two aggregate types exhibit similar elastic moduli. This suggests that the interfacial transition zone in the limestone-based concretes exhibits a higher degree of bonding, likely due to the favorable physical (texture) and chemical nature of the limestone surfaces. These observations reinforce the value of utilizing limestone to increase the performance and sustainability of 21st century concrete construction.

AB - The objective of this study was to examine the potential benefits for air traffic controllers from the use of automated weather advisories. In a part-task simulation, we used a weather support tool called Automatic Identification of Risky Weather Objects in Line of Flight (AIRWOLF) that (a) detects conflicts between aircraft and hazardous weather, (b) alerts the controller, and (c) generates automatic weather advisories. During the simulation, air traffic control (ATC) subject matter experts responded to AIRWOLF alerts and either provided weather advisories to pilots via radio in two main conditions or provided data link communication in a third control condition. Automated advisories (a) eliminate the need for a manual production of weather advisories; (b) reduce the production time, voice duration, and overall advisory duration; and (c) reduce the cognitive workload associated with the dissemination of weather advisories. The results showed that the AIRWOLF tool could support air traffic controller weather avoidance actions and provide accurate and timely weather advisories to pilots. The weather advisory tool could support en route controllers for the safe, efficient, and strategic efforts required to handle adverse weather conditions in the en route environment.

The American Society of Civil Engineers gives America a cumulative grade point average of D+ and estimates that the country needs to invest $3.6 trillion by 2020 but that only $2 trillion in funding is expected to be available. Is $3.6 trillion really necessary? Who will pay for the remaining $1.6 trillion? What does it mean for the economy if the United States fails to fund needed projects? How do utility and infrastructure managers balance capital needs with economic reality? This article discusses the importance of infrastructure investment and how planning decisions are made at the national, state, and local levels.

The particles are octahedral, bumpy clusters of spheres that are compacted into assemblies of different densities. The contact model is a Jäger generalization of the Hertz contact, which yields a small-strain shear modulus that is proportional to the square root of confining stress. Simulations made of triaxial extension and compression loading conditions and of simple shear produce behaviors that are similar to sand. Undrained cyclic shearing simulations are performed with nonuniform amplitudes of shearing pulses and with 24 irregular seismic shearing sequences. A methodology is proposed for quantifying the severities of such irregular shearing records, allowing the 24 sequences to be ranked in severity. The relative severities of the 24 seismic sequences show an anomalous dependence on sampling density. Four scalar measures are proposed for predicting the severity of a particular loading sequence. A stress-based scalar measure shows superior efficiency in predicting initial liquefaction and pore pressure rise.

AB - The capabilities of open-source software and microcontrollers were used to construct a device for controlled lighting experiments. The device was designed to ascertain whether individuals with certain color vision deficiencies were able to discriminate between the red and white lights in fielded systems on the basis of luminous intensity. The device provided the ability to control the timing and duration of light-emitting diode (LED) and incandescent light stimulus presentations, to present the experimental sequence and verbal instructions automatically, to adjust LED and incandescent luminous intensity, and to display LED and incandescent lights with various spectral emissions. The lighting device could easily be adapted for experiments involving flashing or timed presentations of colored lights, or the components could be expanded to study areas such as threshold light perception and visual alerting systems.

Air navigation service providers are working to quantify this role to help prioritize and justify ATM modernization efforts. In the following study we analyze actual flight-level fuel consumption data reported by a major U.S. based airline to study the possible fuel savings from ATM improvements that allow flights to better adhere to their planned trajectories both en route and in the terminal area. To do so we isolate the contribution of airborne delay, departure delay, excess planned flight time, and terminal area inefficiencies on fuel consumption using econometric techniques. The model results indicate that, for two commonly operated aircraft types, the system-wide averages of flight fuel consumption attributed to ATM delay and terminal inefficiencies are 1.0–1.5% and 1.5–4.5%, respectively. We quantify the fuel impact of predicted delay to be 10–20% that of unanticipated delay, reinforcing the role of flight plan predictability in reducing fuel consumption. We rank terminal areas by quantifying a Terminal Inefficiency metric based on the variation in terminal area fuel consumed across flights. Our results help prioritize ATM modernization investments by quantifying the trade-offs in planned and unplanned delays and identifying terminal areas with high potential for improvement.

Copyright Statement: The Aerospace Medical Association, Alexandria, VA AB - Purpose: This study was conducted to determine whether protans have slower reaction times to red lights than individuals with normal color vision and to identify whether protan reaction times increase differentially in a mildly hypoxic environment. Methods: Simple reaction times (SRT) to a red light-emitting diode (LED) display were measured using the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) at ground (1293 ft/394 m), simulated 12,400-ft (3780-m) altitude, and 20 min after returning to ground. Subjects were 13 individuals with normal color vision (NCV), 12 with a deutan color vision defect, and 4 with a protan color vision defect. Results: The mean reaction times increased by 8% with altitude and decreased after returning to ground for all groups. However, the reaction times of the protans were often faster than the NCV mean and never below the NCV 10th percentile. The only significant difference between color vision groups was the slowest mean reaction time of the NCV group was slower than both the pooled dichromats and pooled anomalous trichromats across all conditions by 23%, The number of lapses did not vary with altitude, but the dichromatic subjects had significantly fewer lapses than the trichromatic subjects across all conditions. Conclusion: Although protans may be slower to respond to some red warning lights, this decrement in performance could not be demonstrated under the conditions of our experiment. Furthermore, the protan group's simple reaction times were not differentially affected by mild hypoxia. These results suggest that the red LEDs were sufficiently bright for these protan observers.

While quite effective in producing sedation, zolpidem has potentially hazardous side effects when put in the context of complex tasks. Therefore, to more fully understand the postmortem concentrations of zolpidem, our laboratory has developed a sensitive method for the quantitation of zolpidem in biological specimens. Additionally, we have evaluated the distribution of zolpidem in various postmortem tissues and fluids from 10 aviation fatalities. This method incorporated a modified acetonitrile ‘crash and shoot’ extraction and a Waters Xevo TQ-S with an Acquity ultra-performance liquid chromatograph. The linear dynamic range was 0.4–800 ng/mL. The extraction efficiencies ranged from 78 to 87%, depending on the concentration. Postmortem blood zolpidem concentrations in these 10 cases ranged from 7.6 to 76.5 ng/mL. The highest concentrations of zolpidem present in each victim were found in the liver, spleen, lung and kidney tissues. Distribution coefficients for zolpidem were determined for each of the specimen types analyzed. These coefficients are expressed relative to the blood concentration in each case. This method proved to be simple, accurate and robust for the identification and quantitation of zolpidem in postmortem fluids and tissues.

JO - Journal of Analytical Toxicology JF - Journal of Analytical Toxicology Y1 - 2014/10// VL - 38 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 519 EP - 523 SN - 01464760 AB - During the investigation of aviation accidents, postmortem specimens from accident victims are submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration's Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) for toxicological analysis. A case recently received by CAMI screened positive for the anticonvulsant medication carbamazepine (CBZ; Tegretol®) by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The CBZ found during this routine screening procedure was subsequently confirmed using a CBZ-specific GC–MS procedure. It was later discovered that the accident victim had been prescribed oxcarbazepine (OXCBZ; Trileptal®). OXCBZ is structurally similar to CBZ and is metabolized by cytosolic enzymes in the liver to an active metabolite, 10,11-dihydro-10-hydroxycarbamazepine (DiCBZ). It was determined that the CBZ initially found in this case was present due to the thermal breakdown of DiCBZ in the GC–MS injector port. In the current study, this conversion was investigated and the percentage of CBZ formed at various injector port temperatures was determined. Additionally, these three compounds were quantified in nine fluid and tissue specimens from the case in question. Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry was also incorporated to further demonstrate the absence/presence of CBZ in these samples.

It has been a successful and low-cost intersection configuration using existing external boundaries of intersections. Nevertheless, accessible traffic capacity models for mini-roundabouts do not exist. This study provides design recommendations and a simulation approach for capacity models of mini-roundabouts from U.S. data. Two geometries are selected that have a 7 or 10 m (24- or 36-ft) approach width typical of conventional intersections. The mini-roundabouts are best defined by the inscribed circle diameter of 15 and 23 m (50 and 75 ft). Field data are collected on drivers' behavior and decisions for a mini-roundabout design in order to calibrate simulation models. A microscopic traffic simulation software is used to model the selected prototype designs for capacity estimations. The defining feature for mini-roundabouts is the traversable central and splitter islands for large vehicles that make through or left-turn movements. The linear regression models presented estimate the capacity of the mini-roundabouts to be lower than that of the single-lane roundabout. However the mini-roundabout has a higher capacity per square foot of land, which would be an innovative solution for urban areas for increasing capacity at existing all-way stop-controlled intersections at lower cost than single-lane roundabouts.

A number of related tasks have been encompassed in this study. The speed studies were conducted at 32 sites that had recently been upgraded from two-lane roadways to four or five-lane roadways with curb and gutter profiles. The speed variances and speeding rates at these sites were examined and compared with corresponding data from similar sites on two-lane roadways. Apart from the field test study, a series of human factor studies that used the DS-600c driving simulator system at the University of Tennessee was conducted to assess the effects of curb and gutter profiles and posted speed limits on driver speed-selection behaviors. In addition, a study of the effects of speed limits, in combination with curb and gutter, on crash rates was performed using crash data from the Highway Safety Information System (HSIS). Based on the research findings, the study authors recommend that the alternative standard that allows the use of designed speeds and posted speed limits in excess of 72.42 km/h (45 mi/h), along with the use of correctly sloping curbs, should be developed by the traffic agencies.

In the United States, it is widely believed that the major culprits for delay throughout the NAS are the three New York commercial airports--Newark (EWR), LaGuardia (LGA), and John F. Kennedy (JFK). Various estimates of the extent to which the New York airports impact the delay in the NAS have been reported over the years. Yet there is no thorough investigation into the mutual relationship between delays at New York and non-New York airports. In this paper, we take two different approaches to quantify the impact of the three New York airports on delay throughout the NAS. First, we estimate and apply an econometric model using a large historical dataset. The other model is the FAA SWAC model that simulates flights and tracks the daily performance of the system. The counterfactual scenarios in these two models are adjusted to be comparable to each other. There is disparity between the results of the two different models, suggesting the simulation model might not capture all the factors that cause arrival delay. Still both results conclude that the portion of delay in the system caused by New York airports is much less than publicized estimates. Combining econometric and simulation models to address questions of this nature appears to be a promising approach.

It compares the outcomes of a hierarchical linear model with those of a multiple regression model to evaluate whether meteorological conditions at individual airports and overall would explain variations in block delays. The study used the cases of the three largest airports in the DC Metroplex and concluded airborne delays had a significant random effect on block delays in spite of meteorological conditions at each airport. It pointed out that surface operations efficiency played a significant role in explaining variations in block delays.

The data sample consists of 338 unscheduled service outages that happened in 2010 and 2011 at facilities located in the vicinity of 15 major traffic hubs. For each outage, radar track data were collected and used to calculate traffic separations during the period of 30 minutes before to 30 minutes after an outage. Then, the separation index, which indicates the percentage of horizontal separation retained between two aircraft at the same altitude, was estimated. The separation index and loss of separation events were analyzed using lognormal and negative binomial regression models. The results suggest that the count of separation events peaks during the 15 minutes after an outage. In addition, traffic collision avoidance system resolution advisory (TCAS RA) encounters and Category A separation events are 1.31 times more likely during the 30 minutes following the beginning of a service outage, as compared to the 30 minutes before the outage, for both types of facilities. Also, the separation index values are 19% lower following a surveillance facility outage and 4% lower following a communication facility service loss. This study provides evidence that unscheduled service outages of air traffic management facilities are associated with lost or reduced traffic separations and thus can be considered precursors to hazardous loss of separation events.

AB - Objective: We investigated whether intelligent advanced warnings of the end of green traffic signals help drivers negotiate the dilemma zone (DZ) at signalized intersections and sought to identify behavioral mechanisms for any warning-related benefits. Background: Prior research suggested that warnings of end of green can increase slowing and stopping frequency given the DZ, but drivers may sometimes respond to warnings by speeding up. Method: In two simulator studies, we compared six types of roadway or in-vehicle warnings with a no-warning control condition. Using multilevel modeling, we tested mediation models of the behavioral mechanisms underlying the effects of warnings. Results: In both studies, warnings led to more stopping at DZ intersections and milder decelerations when stopping compared with no warning. Drivers’ predominant response to warnings was anticipatory slowing on approaching the intersection, not speeding up. The increased stopping with warning was mediated by increased slowing. In Study 1, anticipatory slowing given warnings generalized to green-light intersections where no warning was given. In Study 2, we found that lane-specific warnings (e.g., LED lights embedded in each lane) sometimes led to fewer unsafe emergency stops than did non-lane-specific roadside warnings. Conclusion: End-of-green warnings led to safer behavior in the DZ and on the early approach to intersections. The main mechanism for the benefits of warnings was drivers’ increased anticipatory slowing on approaching an intersection. Lane-specific warnings may have some benefits over roadside warnings. Application: Applications include performance models of how drivers use end-of-green warnings, control algorithms and warning displays for intelligent intersections, and statistical methodology in human factors research.

JO - Biomass & Bioenergy JF - Biomass & Bioenergy Y1 - 2014/08// VL - 67 M3 - Article SP - 108 EP - 118 SN - 09619534 AB - Animal fats and waste oils are potential feedstocks for producing hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) jet and diesel fuels. This paper calculates the lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and production costs associated with HEFA jet and diesel fuels from tallow, and from yellow grease (YG) derived from used cooking oil. For YG, total CO2 equivalent (CO2 eq.) GHG emissions of jet and diesel were found to range between 16.8-21.4 g MJ-1 and 12.2-16.9 g MJ-1 respectively. This corresponds to lifecycle GHG emission reductions of 76-81% and 81-86% respectively, compared to their conventional counterparts. Two different system boundaries were considered for tallow-derived HEFA fuels. In System 1 (S1), tallow was treated as a by-product of the rendering industry, and emissions from rendering and fuel production were included. In System 2 (S2), tallow was considered as a by-product of the meat production industry, and in addition to the S1 emissions, cattle husbandry and slaughtering were also included. The lifecycle emissions (CO2 eq.) from HEFA jet fuel for S1 and S2 were estimated to be 25.7-37.5 g MJ-1 and 67.1-83.9 g MJ-1 respectively. HEFA diesel lifecycle emissions were found to be 21.3-33.3 g MJ-1 for S1 and 63.4-80.5 g MJ-1 for S2. Production costs for these fuels were calculated using a discounted cash flow rate of return model. The minimum selling price was estimated to be 880 $ m-3-1060 $ m-3 for YG-derived HEFA, and 1050-1250 $ m-3 for tallow-derived HEFA fuels.

While other research in predicting runway excursions has focused on the type of excursion, this work focuses on predicting if the excursion will generate fatalities. As the adverse effects of fatalities can be extreme in nature, there exists a need to be able to: (i) understand the root causes of fatal excursions, (ii) predict the likelihood of fatal excursions, and (iii) measure the efficacy of risk management strategies employed to prevent them. This work summarizes and applies techniques of data analysis for runway excursions, a significant problem in air travel safety which can lead to fatalities. The techniques deployed in this work to model excursions include logistic regression and Bayesian logistic regression, each of which have strengths and weaknesses in terms of descriptive (e.g. highlighting factors that impact fatalities) and prescriptive (e.g. predicting fatalities under particular operating conditions) domains. An innovative use of the results of this data analysis is in enhancing the likelihood assessment of the traditional risk matrix, which combines (often arbitrary) assessments of likelihood and consequence for particular risk scenarios. Several real-world excursion response options aimed at reducing fatalities through improvements to aviation facilities and processes are compared on the basis of impact, cost, and feasibility.

The Federal Highway Administration, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and National Cooperative Highway Research Program sponsored a scanning study to learn how the European Union and various member states developed, evolved, and implemented freight transportation corridor programs on national and cross-jurisdictional levels. The scan team learned that European Union transportation policies focus on corridors and on connecting transport chains to and from neighboring countries and overseas, making freight transport more efficient and sustainable. It observed that a unifying vision linking transportation and the economy is a key element of the Trans-European Transport Network. Team recommendations for U.S. implementation include coordinating freight-planning efforts throughout North America, determining low-cost efforts to improve freight transportation, and using private-sector planning resources to aid public-sector planning.

JO - Journal of Transportation Engineering JF - Journal of Transportation Engineering Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 140 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 04014024 EP - 04014024 SN - 0733947X AB - This paper presents the concept of a living laboratory (LL) and how it is applied to transportation operations research through a case study. This case study focuses on calibrating the Wiedemann car-following model parameters specific to freeway work zones. Applying the concept of an LL enables the experimental platform to be in a natural real-world environment. The design of this LL included the development of an instrumented research vehicle (IRV) to capture the natural car-following response of a driver when entering and passing through a freeway work zone. The development of a connected mobile traffic sensing (CMTS) system, which included state-of-the-art intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies, supports the LL environment by providing the connectivity, interoperability, and data processing of the natural, real-life setting. The IRV and CMTS system are tools designed based on the research objective to support the concept of an LL which facilitates the experimental environment to capture and calibrate natural driver behavior. This case study shows the application of an LL specific to operations research providing an experimental platform for evaluating the operational performance of a roadway in a real-time, connected, and collaborative natural environment.

JO - Transport Policy JF - Transport Policy Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 34 M3 - Article SP - 85 EP - 101 SN - 0967070X AB - Current practices for assessing the monetary impacts of aviation noise typically use hedonic pricing methods that estimate noise-induced property value depreciation. However, this approach requires detailed knowledge of local housing markets, which is not readily available at a fine resolution for most airport regions around the world. This paper proposes a new noise monetization method based on city-level personal income, which is often more widely available. Underlying the approach is a meta-analysis of 63 hedonic pricing studies from eight countries, conducted between 1970 and 2010, which is used to derive a general relationship between average city-level personal income and the Willingness to Pay for noise abatement. Applying the new model to income, noise, and population data for 181 airports worldwide, the global capitalized monetary impacts of commercial aviation noise in 2005 are estimated to be $23.8 billion, with a Net Present Value of $36.5 billion between 2005 and 2035 when a 3.5% discount rate is applied. Comparison with previous results based on real estate data yields a difference of −34.2% worldwide and −9.8% for the 95 US airports in the analysis. The main advantages of the income-based model are fewer data limitations and the relative ease of implementation compared to the hedonic pricing methods, making it suitable for assessing the monetary impacts of aviation noise reduction policies on a global scale.

However, toxicology findings from fatal aviation accidents indicate not all pilots wait a sufficient period of time. Methods used today do not take into consideration the time required for the drug to reach subtherapeutic concentrations. Methods: An equation was developed based on the therapeutic range and the maximum expected half-life of the medication to objectively calculate a safe return-to-duty time for pilots. The new equation assumes the treating physician will not dose the patient beyond the upper therapeutic range of the medication and the person taking the medication has the maximum half-life reported in the literature. The equation N = ln(0.5*Cmin/Cmax)/ln(0.5) was developed to determine the number of half-lives (n) required to reach one-half of Cmin where Cmin = lower therapeutic concentration and Cmax = upper therapeutic concentration. Anonymous subjects were recruited under an approved IRB protocol. Blood and plasma were collected at approximately Cmax (2-3 h) and again after waiting approximately another 5 h. Toxicological analysis was performed on the specimens collected. Results: One subject taking a 25-mg dose had a 0.033 ug · ml-1 blood concentration after waiting 8 h, well above the 0.025 ug · ml-1 reported as impairing concentration. The new equation estimated a mean wait time for the 18 medications composed of 4 half-lives. Discussion: The new CAMI equation takes into consideration safety without grossly over estimating pilot wait times.

Amongst these units, traffic analysis zones (TAZs) have been broadly employed in many macroscopic safety studies. Nevertheless, no studies questioned the validity of TAZs for crash analysis at the macro-level crash modeling. In this study, we point out several possible problems of TAZs as spatial units for macroscopic safety studies. Current TAZs with homogenous crash rates were combined into new single zones. Then we created ten new zonal systems by different zone aggregation levels. The optimal zonal scale for traffic safety analysis zones (TSAZ) was determined using the Brown-Forsythe test. It was found that the zone system with about 1:2 aggregation was the optimal zone system for macroscopic safety modeling. Thus we develop what we call traffic safety analysis zones (TSAZs) that has the potential of reducing several possible problems of TAZs. Also it was shown that TSAZ based models had better fit compared to TAZ based models.

JO - Geology JF - Geology Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 42 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 399 EP - 402 PB - Geological Society of America SN - 00917613 AB - Large-magnitude retroarc shortening of Cretaceous age is well documented in the Sevier orogenic belt of the western United States, and has been associated with eastward Franciscan subduction that began in the Middle-Late Jurassic, but evidence for major Late Jurassic retroarc shortening has been lacking. Here we report new Lu-Hf garnet geochronology, pressure-temperature (P-T) paths, and 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology data that document tectonic burial of Late Jurassic age in a Barrovian metamorphic terrain, the Funeral Mountains metamorphic core complex, California, located in the hinterland of the Sevier orogenic belt. The P-T paths determined from growth-zoned garnets in upper greenschist facies pelitic schist show steep P-T trajectories consistent with metamorphism during thrust loading. The age of thrust loading is constrained by a five-point Lu-Hf garnet isochron to be 158.2 ± 2.6 Ma (2σ). Partial exhumation, recorded in 146-153 Ma 40Ar/39Ar muscovite cooling ages, closely followed garnet growth. Late Jurassic Barrovian metamorphism has not been previously recognized in Cordilleran metamorphic core complexes, possibly due to being obscured by Late Cretaceous to Tertiary deformation, magmatism, and metamorphism. This study finds that the period of large-magnitude crustal shortening in the retroarc extended into the Late Jurassic, and may have closely followed the formation of the coherent orogenic system associated with east-dipping Franciscan subduction.

SN - 03080501 AB - ABSTRACT Quantitative understanding of the processes that take place inside a burning material is critical for the prediction of ignition and growth of fires. To improve this understanding and enable predictive modeling, we developed a numerical pyrolysis solver called ThermaKin. This solver computes transient rate of gaseous fuel production from fundamental physical and chemical properties of constituents of a pyrolyzing solid. It was successfully applied to the simulation of combustion of a broad range of materials. One limitation of ThermaKin was that it could handle only one-dimensional burning problems. As a consequence, flame spread, which is an important contributor to fire growth, could not be simulated. Here, we present a new computational tool, ThermaKin2D, that expands ThermaKin model to two dimensions and combines it with a flexible analytical representation of a surface flame. It is our expectation that this tool will enable highly accurate simulations of flame spread dynamics. This manuscript contains a description of this new computation tool, reports results of a series of verification exercises, and demonstrates some of the ThermaKin2D's capabilities. Published 2013. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA.

AB - Comments on an article by Johnny J. Weissmuller and Diane L. Damos (see record [rid]2014-12853-004[/rid]). Pilot selection has long been a keystone topic in aviation psychology. Weissmuller and Damos provide a succinct overview of two key issues in designing pilot selection systems: the statistical model on which a given selection system is predicated and the structure of the selection system operationalizing the statistical model. The class or type of statistical model to use in a pilot selection system is often subject to intense debate, at least among the consulting psychologists. The structure of the selection system is equally debatable, especially when economic and pragmatic management concerns are considered. In this commentary, I consider briefly the statistical models and the selection system structure as discussed by Weissmuller and Damos—and venture some questions for future research on pilot selection.

King’s article provides a much-needed clarification of the related, but distinct, psychological assessment tasks that are involved in selecting professional pilots. King distinguishes between assessment procedures aimed at identifying those applicants who possess the psychological attributes that are important for success in the aviation environment. With regard to select-out issues, one of the most important for any clinician evaluating aviation personnel is the phenomenon that King refers to as 'Response inflation, a manifestation of positive impression management. Response inflation is a problematic term, because the response distortion commonly encountered with aviation personnel leads to inflation of some psychological test scores but deflation of others. Clinicians must be very aware of response distortion, and this is where King’s advocacy for population-specific norms is particularly useful, as the issue requiring consideration is the degree of response distortion evidenced by the individual when compared to other individuals in the same selection context.

SN - 03080501 AB - ABSTRACT Five material properties commonly used to describe the fire behavior of solids were evaluated as sole explanatory variables for four small-scale fire tests with pass/fail outcomes by using a physically based probabilistic (phlogistic) burning model. The phlogistic model describes the likelihood of passing vertical Bunsen burner tests and a regulatory heat release rate test reasonably well over a wide range of material properties, as deduced from the correlation coefficient and mean deviation of the predicted and measured values. Of the thermal, combustion, and fire properties examined, the best predictors of the likelihood of passing the fire tests of this study were the heat of combustion of the sample, the heat release capacity, and the heat release parameter. The relative merits and drawbacks of qualitative (threshold) and quantitative (probabilistic) approaches to predicting fire test results using thermal and combustion properties are discussed.

AB - This paper presents separate field experiments. The studies assessed engineering-based behavioral interventions to increase the frequency of drivers’ seat belt use. In Experiment 1, we instrumented a large portion of a commercial fleet with a seat belt gearshift interlock system. This system prevented drivers from engaging their transmissions unless they were buckled. The goals of Experiment 1 were to measure the change in belt use from a baseline period averaging about three months to an intervention period ranging one to three months and to assess the drivers’ acceptance of the system at the beginning, middle, and end of the intervention. The results indicated a significant increase in seat belt use from 81% to 96%, but ratings of driver acceptance were low, indicating poor acceptance. In Experiment 2, we evaluated a system that applied a counterforce that pushed against the accelerator pedal of unbelted drivers when vehicle speed exceeded 20 mile per hour (mph). Unbelted drivers could continue to drive and exceed 20mph by pressing harder than the counterforce but doing so required focused attention and physical effort. The results of Experiment 2 indicated that belt use increased from 56.2% during baseline to 99.74% during the intervention. Driver acceptance ratings were favorable. Taken together, the experiments indicate that such engineering-based behavioral interventions have considerable promise in terms of increasing seat belt use, but each faces challenges to becoming viable countermeasures. The challenges associated with the interlock appear to be attitudinal in nature on the part of the drivers, whereas those associated with the counterforce system are technical matters involving fitment of the hardware across different makes and models.

AB - Introduction: A computer-based version of an established neuropsychological paper-and-pencil assessment tool, the Trail-Making Test, was applied with approximately 700 drivers aged 70 years and older in offices of the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration. Method: This was a volunteer sample that received a small compensation for study participation, with an assurance that their license status would not be affected by the results. Analyses revealed that the study sample was representative of Maryland older drivers with respect to age and indices of prior driving safety. The relationship between drivers' scores on the Trail-Making Test and prospective crash experience was analyzed using a new outcome measure that explicitly takes into account error responses as well as correct responses, the error-compensated completion time. Results: For the only reliable predictor of crash risk, Trail-Making Test Part B, this measure demonstrated a modest gain in specificity and was amore significant predictor of future safety risk than the simple time-to-completion measure. Impact on industry: Improved specificity and the potential for autonomous test administration are particular advantages of this measure for use with large populations, in settings such as health care or driver licensing.

The product of four years of effort, the Protocol is intended to modernise the Tokyo Convention of 1963 - the only aviation unlawful interference convention that applies to minor offenses, especially including unruly and disruptive passengers. The Protocol amends the Convention in only a few limited respects; its substantive provisions fill barely five pages in the English version of the six-language text. Twenty-four State delegations signed the Protocol after it was opened for signature, enough to put it into effect if each government follows through with ratification. This article examines the features of the Montreal Protocol of 2014 and analyses their contribution to air law. It concludes with an assessment of the Protocol's prospects for success and its foreseeable practical effects.

Ce protocole, qui est le fruit de quatre années de travail, vise à moderniser la Convention de Tokyo de 1963, soit la seule convention traitant d'actes illicites qui s'applique à des infractions mineures, et ce, particulièrement, aux passagers turbulents et perturbateurs. Le protocole modifie la convention à quelques égards seulement; ses dispositions de fond faisant à peine cinq pages dans la version anglaise du texte qui est reproduit en six langues. Vingt-quatre délégations des états membres ont signé le Protocole au moment où il a été ouvert pour signature. Ce nombre est suffisant pour le mettre en œuvre si chaque gouvernement procède à sa ratification. Cet article examine les caractéristiques du Protocole de Montréal de 2014 et analyse ses implications sur le droit aérien. Il est conclu par une évaluation des effets pratiques du Protocole et de ses perspectives de succès.

The data used for this report consist of 5316 flight files, collected during the 2008 and 2009 fire seasons. Flights have been divided into multiple phases, separating the segments when retardant is dropped from others. Basic flight parameters such as airspeed, altitude, flight duration and distance, bank, and pitch angles are shown in statistical form. Vertical accelerations are used to construct V - n diagrams for comparison with the manufacturers' data. Airframe cycle times are shown to be approximately 45 min. Several coincident flight events are shown and compared with operational limits when available. The altitudes, the normal accelerations, and the airspeeds have not revealed any operation outside of the established boundaries. Relatively large dive and roll angles were prominently present during all but the drop phases. Nonetheless, they are shown to remain within the limits stated by the manufacturer or imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration type certificate data sheets. Cumulative occurrences of maneuver loads have been examined and compared with data from other sources when available. It is shown that the cumulative occurrences of maneuver load factor varies by flight phase, with the largest values associated with the drop and exit phases. For the overall flight, maneuver loads were shown to occur at lower frequencies than those stated in Military specification MIL-A-8866C(AS).

Through 2013, there have been five rounds of the grant program. TIGER uses a multi-step competitive application process to award surface transportation funds. TIGER applications are initially screened by US DOT's staff of technical experts. For projects forwarded by the review team, US DOT economic experts then review the applicant's benefit-cost analysis (BCA) and attempt to determine the likelihood that the benefits exceeded costs (i.e. not the applicant's self-determination). The final awardees are then selected by a Review Team of Modal Administrators and DOT Office of the Secretary level officials. The purpose of this paper is to discuss many of the common errors in preparing, and issues in reviewing the applicant's BCA and in making a net benefit determination. A secondary purpose is to determine if the most deserving projects, based on an applicant's BCA and the likelihood that benefits exceeded costs, are more likely to receive grant funding. We do so for the second through the fifth rounds of the program.

The commentary was printed with the incorrect manuscript received date. However, it was received in May 2013.] Comments on an article by Raymond E. King (see record [rid]2014-00458-008[/rid]). King’s article provides a much-needed clarification of the related, but distinct, psychological assessment tasks that are involved in selecting professional pilots. King distinguishes between assessment procedures aimed at identifying those applicants who possess the psychological attributes that are important for success in the aviation environment. With regard to select-out issues, one of the most important for any clinician evaluating aviation personnel is the phenomenon that King refers to as 'Response inflation, a manifestation of positive impression management. Response inflation is a problematic term, because the response distortion commonly encountered with aviation personnel leads to inflation of some psychological test scores but deflation of others. Clinicians must be very aware of response distortion, and this is where King’s advocacy for population-specific norms is particularly useful, as the issue requiring consideration is the degree of response distortion evidenced by the individual when compared to other individuals in the same selection context.

Most human factors research in medicine has been focused on analyzing errors and implementing system-wide changes to prevent them from recurring. We describe a set of techniques that has been used successfully by the aviation industry to analyze errors and adverse events and explain how these techniques can be applied to patient care.Recent Findings: Threat and error management (TEM) describes adverse events in terms of risks or challenges that are present in an operational environment (threats) and the actions of specific personnel that potentiate or exacerbate those threats (errors). TEM is a technique widely used in aviation, and can be adapted for the use in a medical setting to predict high-risk situations and prevent errors in the perioperative period. A threat taxonomy is a novel way of classifying and predicting the hazards that can occur in the operating room. TEM can be used to identify error-producing situations, analyze adverse events, and design training scenarios.Summary: TEM offers a multifaceted strategy for identifying hazards, reducing errors, and training physicians. A threat taxonomy may improve analysis of critical events with subsequent development of specific interventions, and may also serve as a framework for training programs in risk mitigation.

Properly accounting for ground type in modeling can increase accuracy in noise impact determinations and noise abatement design. Pavement-specific effective flow resistivity values are being investigated for inclusion in the Federal Highway Administration Traffic Noise Model, which uses these values in the sound propagation algorithms and currently applies a single effective flow resistivity value to all pavement. Pavement-specific effective flow resistivity values were obtained by applying a modified version of the American National Standards Institute S1.18 standard. The data analysis process was tailored to allow for increased sensitivity and extraction of effective flow resistivity values for a broad range of pavements (sound absorptive to reflective). For porous pavements (sound absorptive), it was determined that examination of the measured data can reveal influence from an underlying structure. Use of such techniques can aid in the design of quieter pavements.

AB - Naturalistic driving studies provide an excellent opportunity to better understand crash causality and to supplement crash observations with a much larger number of near crash events. The goal of this research is the development of a set of diagnostic procedures to define, screen, and identify crash and near crash events that can be used in enhanced safety analyses. A way to better understand crash occurrence and identify potential countermeasures to improve safety is to learn from and use near crash events, particularly those near crashes that have a common etiology to crash outcomes. This paper demonstrates that a multi-stage modeling framework can be used to search through naturalistic driving data, extracting statistically similar crashes and near crashes. The procedure is tested using data from the VTTI 100-car study for road departure events. A total of 63 events are included in this application. While the sample size is limited in this empirical study, the authors believe the procedure is ready for testing in other applications.

In this study, tactile cues were presented to pilots for target orientation during a simulated helicopter extraction over a moving target. The efficacy of the cues provided by the tactile system was assessed under various conditions (rested vs. fatigued, clear vs. degraded visual environment). Methods: This study employed a mixed-model 2⁴ factorial design, including one between-subjects variable (training amount: minimal, additional) and three within-subjects variables (state: rested, fatigued; visual environment: clear, degraded; tactile cue belt: active, inactive). Across 2 d under the 4 test conditions, 16 UH-60 rated, healthy aviators completed 8 sessions of 10-min stabilized hovering maneuvers over a moving target. All flights were conducted in a UH-60 flight simulator. Results: Subjects were able to stay closer to the target when the tactile cuing system was active (M = 31.14 ft, SE = 3.17 ft) vs. inactive (M = 36.33 ft, SE = 2.84 ft). Likewise, subjects rated their situation awareness as greater when the tactile system was active vs. inactive. Discussion: The results support the efficacy of the tactile system in providing directional cues for maintaining pilot performance during a hover maneuver over a moving target.

Because there is little available information describing the effects of mild hypoxic environments (less than 4000 m) in subjects with deficient color-vision, we examined the effect of mild hypoxia on the relative sensitivity to green light for color-normal and color-deficient subjects. Methods: Relative sensitivity to the green light was measured using the Medmont C-100 at ground and 3780 m in an altitude chamber. There were 30 subjects, 13 with normal color vision and 17 with a congenital red-green defect, who participated in the study. The relative sensitivity to the green light was determined from the average of four settings measured during the 4.5-h trial. Results: Color-normals and anomalous trichromats showed a small decrease in the relative sensitivity to the green light at 3780 m compared to ground. In contrast to the trichromatic results, the relative sensitivity of the dichromats to the green light did not differ between 3780 m and ground. Discussion: Our results show that a decrease in the relative sen-sitivity to green light can occur in hypoxic environments that are equiva-lent to altitudes greater than 3700 m in individuals with trichromatic but not dichromatic color vision. Although the change in sensitivity was sig-nificant, it was small and unlikely to have any operational impact.

These allowance times are critical to ensure the safety and efficient operation of commercial and cargo flights. Wind-tunnel testing with uncontaminated antiicing fluids and fluids contaminated with simulated ice pellets has been carried out to better understand the flowoff characteristics and resulting aerodynamic effects. The percent lift loss was determined at an 8 deg angle of attack and used as one of the evaluation criteria in determining the allowance times. This paper describes how the lift loss was related to the loss in the maximum lift of a Boeing 737-200ADV airplane through the aerodynamic acceptance test performed for fluids qualification. A loss in the maximum lift coefficient of 5.24 % on the B737-200ADV airplane (which was adopted as the threshold in the aerodynamic acceptance test) corresponds to a lift loss of 7.3% on the test model at an 8 deg angle of attack. A statistical analysis was performed to account for data scatter in the correlation and indicated that the upper limit of lift loss on the test model was 9.2 %. Therefore, for cases resulting in lift loss from 7.3 to 9.2 %, extra scrutiny of the visual observations is required for evaluating fluid performance with contamination and establishing appropriate allowance times.

AB - Background: Is there a 'killing zone' (Craig, 2001)—a range of pilot flight time over which general aviation (GA) pilots are at greatest risk? More broadly, can we predict accident rates, given a pilot's total flight hours (TFH)? These questions interest pilots, aviation policy makers, insurance underwriters, and researchers alike. Most GA research studies implicitly assume that accident rates are linearly related to TFH, but that relation may actually be multiply nonlinear. This work explores the ability of serial nonlinear modeling functions to predict GA accident rates from noisy rate data binned by TFH. Method: Two sets of National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)/Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) data were log-transformed, then curve-fit to a gamma-pdf-based function. Despite high rate-noise, this produced weighted goodness-of-fit ( Rw² ) estimates of .654 and .775 for non-instrument-rated (non-IR) and instrument-rated pilots (IR) respectively. Conclusion: Serial-nonlinear models could be useful to directly predict GA accident rates from TFH, and as an independent variable or covariate to control for flight risk during data analysis. Applied to FAA data, these models imply that the 'killing zone' may be broader than imagined. Relatively high risk for an individual pilot may extend well beyond the 2000-h mark before leveling off to a baseline rate.

Using microeconomic farm-level data, and treating labor as a highly differentiated input, we find that the labor input in agriculture decreased by 5% annually and agricultural TFP grew by 6.5%. Using a calibrated two-sector general equilibrium model, we find that agricultural TFP growth: (i) accounts for the majority of output and employment reallocation toward non-agriculture; (ii) contributes (at least) as much to aggregate and sectoral economic growth as non-agricultural TFP growth; and (iii) influences economic growth primarily by reallocating workers to the non-agricultural sector, where rapid physical and human capital accumulation are currently taking place.

AB - Driver distraction inside and outside the vehicle is increasingly a problem, especially for younger drivers. In many cases the distraction is associated with long glances away from the forward roadway. Such glances have been shown to be highly predictive of crashes. Ideally, one would like to develop and evaluate a training program which reduced these long glances. Thus, an experiment was conducted in a driving simulator to test the efficacy of a training program, FOCAL, that was developed to teach novice drivers to limit the duration of glances that are inside the vehicle while performing an in-vehicle task, such as looking for a CD or finding the 4-way flashers. The test in the simulator showed that the FOCAL trained group performed significantly better than the placebo trained group on several measures, notably on the percentage of within-vehicle glances that were greater than 2, 2.5, and 3s. However, the training did not generalize to glances away from the roadway (e.g., when drivers were asked to attend to a sign adjacent to the roadway, both trained and untrained novice drivers were equally likely to make especially long glances at the sign).

Copyright Statement: The Aerospace Medical Association, Alexandria, VA AB - This article presents the result of a survey carried out in order to investigate the responses from the front line managers (FLMs) of the air traffic control (ATC) regarding quick reference guide (QRG) for assessing organizational impact analysis. The research questions were: Is there documented organizational support for the QRG? How do FLMs perceive the effectiveness and utility of the QRG? and Do less experienced FLMs find the QRG more helpful than more experienced FLMs? The evaluation of organizational and FLM acceptance and use was identified by sponsors as a target for the evaluation. The survey focused on both the utility of the QRG and the opportunity to identify any perceived problem areas or additional content areas required. Of the 849 respondents, 791 indicated that they were current FLMs and, of those, 564 reviewed the QRG. The data indicated a clear overall positive response to the QRG. Of those few respondents with suggestions for improving the QRG, there were several references to the length of the document, including suggestions for a shortened, more portable version, such as a condensed QRG. FLMs perceived the QRG to have both effectiveness and utility. Both less experienced FLMs and more experienced FLMs found the QRG to be helpful, as indicated by intended use, with more experienced FLMs indicating a higher intended use.

JO - Combustion & Flame JF - Combustion & Flame Y1 - 2013/08// VL - 160 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 1519 EP - 1530 SN - 00102180 AB - Abstract: An experimental study of the flammability properties of PMMA at low pressures and oxygen concentrations was performed. The work was motivated by the importance of these effects on fire safety in the aviation industry. Measurements were obtained in a mass loss calorimeter inside a large 10m3 pressure vessel capable of reaching pressures as low as 0.1atm. The PMMA flammability was characterized by measuring the burning rate and the time to ignition of small test samples. These were ignited and burned under different external heat fluxes, total pressures and oxygen concentrations. The combined effects of pressure and oxygen concentration on the burning rate, combustion flow field, and ignition were evaluated. Results showed that at low pressure, the burning rate was less intense with a decrease in the mass loss rate. However, the reduction in pressure caused a shortened ignition delay time. Experimental measurements were compared with a simple analytical model showing good agreement. The results also show how pressure and oxygen concentration contributed to the heat transfer from the flame. The model revealed that a single function in oxygen and pressure could account for both flame radiative and convective effects. As a result, a power law fit was obtained for the relation of the combined pressure and oxygen effect on the burning rate. This correlation shows a good agreement with the measurements and predicts the burning rate behavior for the full range of pressure and oxygen tests.

JO - Fire Safety Journal JF - Fire Safety Journal Y1 - 2013/08// VL - 60 M3 - Article SP - 14 EP - 24 SN - 03797112 AB - Abstract: The present work explores the extent to which the time-dependent mass loss rate of four common thermoplastics, polypropylene, polyamide 6,6, polyoxymethylene, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), when exposed to pure radiant heat flux, can be predicted from first principles. The material properties which control the mass loss, and are required for input to the numerical models, are measured in independent laboratory tests, and presented. The mass loss rate for each polymer is measured in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) gasification device and predicted using two numerical models for pyrolysis: the NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) model Thermakin. For three of the polymers, the models often gave results in very close agreement with each other, and in good agreement with those of the experiments for most of the mass loss period. Nonetheless, for PET, the agreement was good only in the initial stages of heating and mass loss, when less than 3% of the mass loss had occurred, and for POM, good agreement required a different value of the heat of reaction (from the one measured for this polymer). Parametric analyses are used to explore the influence of each measured parameter on the mass loss rate and the agreement between modeling and the experiments, and to explain discrepancies between the modeling and experiment when they exist.

Copyright Statement: The Aerospace Medical Association, Alexandria, VA AB - Aviation lighting systems typically involve complex coding of intensity, spatial and temporal configurations, and color to provide pilots with visual information about the delineation, layout, and status of the airfield and of obstructions or other hazards. A point to be considered when selecting a white light-emitting diode (LED) is whether the light is part of a color-coded system or environment. Differences in LED signal intensity mattered infrequently. Protans were more likely to identify the green LED correctly and deutans were more likely to identify the blue LED correctly when their intensities were scaled to match those of their incandescent counterparts. LEDs present particular challenges when making measurements of luminous intensity and chromaticity. The spatial distributions from LEDs can be much more directional than incandescent sources, with complex emission patterns. Because of these factors, intensity measurements made at close distances can provide erroneous conclusions when extrapolating to further distances. However, recent guidance provides consistent measurement standards facilitating comparison. There is much research remaining to be conducted within this field. At a minimum, questions remain concerning perceptual threshold limits for various colored LEDs, perception of LEDs in the periphery, and perception of multi-pulsed LEDs. LEDs are likely to eventually be deployed in virtually all aviation lighting applications if subsequent research confirms that there are no negative safety influences.

JO - Journal of Construction Engineering & Management JF - Journal of Construction Engineering & Management Y1 - 2013/07// VL - 139 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 977 EP - 986 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 07339364 AB - In the last decade, the state departments of transportation in the US have experienced an increase in their construction projects, while the level of their in-house inspection staff and resources has either remained the same or declined. Previous studies have found that one strategy that may reduce the inspection workload is prioritizing construction activities for inspection. However, reducing the number of inspections also has its risks, such as functional failures and reduced design life. Thus, available inspection resources should be allocated to the activities with significant risk consequences if inspection is reduced. The objective of this paper is to develop a risk-based inspection protocol to facilitate efficient allocation of available inspection resources to minimize the risks associated with reduced inspection. First, the risk consequences associated with reduced inspection are identified for various construction activities linked to transportation projects. Based on data collected from 23 state departments of transportation, 58 engineers and inspectors from the Indiana Department of Transportation and 20 inspection consultants in the Midwest, the subjective perceived probabilities associated with the occurrence of each risk consequence are encoded by using fuzzy analysis, from which the risk impacts due to reduced inspection are obtained. The construction activities are prioritized based on the risk impacts associated with reduced inspection into five priority levels. The greater the risk impacts are as a result of reduced inspection, the higher the priority would be for inspection of that activity. Thus, the proposed protocol can be used for resource allocation based on risk impacts. The proposed list of prioritized construction activities can assist project and program managers in state departments of transportation in better allocating their limited inspection resources while reducing the risks due to reduced inspection.

With the introduction of the new mobile-source emissions model MOVES, second-by-second activity patterns can be used to produce emission factors (EFs) that vary by vehicular modal activity, that is, acceleration, deceleration, idle, and cruise. By using these EFs in unique modal links in CAL3QHC input files, the predicted concentration of pollutants near roadways can be modeled with greater precision in regard to real-world intersection vehicle behavior. It is noted that this work does not include any comparisons with real-world monitored data, and thus only the precision and not the accuracy of the proposed method is addressed. This work poses the question of how best to include modal links into near-road dispersion modeling. Specifically, it examines dividing acceleration and deceleration segments into multiple sublinks for greater resolution. It is shown that such an approach can produce much higher CO predictions at an intersection (up to 400% higher) compared with the current cruise-and-idle-links modeling approach. A method of dividing links by increments of speed change is suggested. The method relies upon obtaining EFs from standstill to various cruise speeds (or from cruise speed to stopped) and using those results to obtain position-specific acceleration (or deceleration) EFs needed for dispersion modeling inputs. Acceleration EFs (in g/mile) are an order of magnitude larger than cruise EFs; deceleration EFs are smaller than cruise EFs. The number of sublinks used to model one acceleration link makes a difference in the predicted concentrations. MOVES can produce erratic EFs when longer links are broken into smaller sublinks.

AB - Introduction: Medically at-risk drivers come to the attention of licensing authorities through referrals from a variety of sources, including: physicians, family members, court systems, and law enforcement. A recently sponsored project by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration examined a training intervention for law enforcement to increase their awareness of medical conditions and medications that impair driving and the procedures for reporting these drivers in Virginia. Method: A component of this project included an evaluation of the medical review process and licensing outcomes for 100 drivers randomly selected from a pool of over 1,000 drivers referred from law enforcement officers to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles over a 6-month period in 2007 and 2008 prior to any training program intervention. Results: Key findings from the evaluation of 100 drivers referred for medical review by law enforcement were as follows. Over two-thirds of the drivers came to the attention of the referring officer because they were involved in a crash. The most prevalent indications of a medical condition or functional impairment provided by law enforcement for these referrals were: loss of consciousness, blackout, or seizures (28%); disorientation, confusion, and mental disability (16%); and physical impairments (8%). Eighty-eight percent of the drivers received some type of licensing action (e.g., restriction, suspension, or periodic review). Only 12% of the referred drivers did not require any licensing action. Conclusions: Law enforcement provides a vital role in the identification and referral of medically impaired drivers to licensing authorities for reexamination. Training programs can inform law enforcement officers of the signs of medical impairment (both on-road behavior, and physical and psychological clues once a driver has been pulled over), and procedures for reporting their observations and concern for safety to licensing authorities. Impact on Industry: Reexamination of drivers with functional and medical impairments and any consequent restrictions and/or periodic reporting requirements can improve the safety and mobility of these drivers, and the motoring public as well.

Elsevier Ireland Ltd. 2012. AB - Background: Studies of drinking drivers in alcohol-related crashes have shown that high breath-alcohol concentrations (BrACs) are associated with illegal drug use. Until the 2007 National Roadside Survey (NRS), the prevalence of drugs among drinking drivers on U.S. roads was unknown. Using NRS data, we explore how many drivers with positive BrACs may also be using drugs and their significance to current drinking-driving enforcement procedures. Methods: Based on a stratified, random sample covering the 48 U.S. contiguous states, we conducted surveys on weekend nights from July–November 2007. Of the 8384 eligible motorists contacted, 85.4% provided a breath sample; 70.0%, an oral fluid sample; and 39.1%, a blood sample. We conducted regression analyses on 5912 participants with a breath test and an oral fluid or blood test. The dependent variables of interest were illegal drugs (cocaine, cannabinoids, street drugs, street amphetamines, and opiates) and medicinal drugs (prescription and over-the-counter). Results: 10.5% of nondrinking drivers were using illegal drugs, and 26 to 33% of drivers with illegal BrACs (≥0.08 g/dL) were using illegal drugs. Medicinal drug use was more common among nondrinking drivers (4.0%) than among drivers with illegal BrACs (2.4%). Conclusions: The significant relationship between an illegal BrAC and the prevalence of an illegal drug suggests as many as 350,000 illegal drug-using drivers are arrested each year for DWI by U.S. alcohol-impaired driving enforcement. These drug-using drivers need to be identified and appropriate sanctions/treatment programs implemented for them in efforts to extend per se laws to unapprehended drug users.

AB - Environmental enrichment (EE) increases cortical weight, neuronal density, dendritic branching, and angiogenesis, all of which may be critical for functional recovery following insult. Our study was designed to determine possible benefits of pre-exposure to EE in preventing functional deficits following traumatic brain injury (TBI) to the prefrontal cortex. To examine the benefit of EE, adult male rats were placed in an enriched environment for 15 days. Enrichment was provided through social interaction, exercise, olfactory stimulation, and new objects/toys to explore. Following enrichment, experimental and age-matched controls were subjected to a moderate medial prefrontal cortex injury via controlled cortical impact (CCI). After 1 week recovery, animals were behaviorally tested to assess memory, anxiety, and sensory neglect. Lesion-induced deficits in spatial memory [Morris water maze (MWM)] were significantly attenuated in EE pre-exposed rats 18–21 days following injury. In addition, TBI-induced sensory neglect was significantly reduced in EE rats relative to non-enriched animals. No differences in anxiety-like behavior on the elevated plus maze (EPM) were detected. The behavioral data suggest that EE is neuroprotective when applied prior to TBI, resulting in improved recovery following injury.

The understanding of the interaction of design, operations, and crash performance is a step forward in the development and application of performance-based standards for roundabouts. The specific objective of this paper is to quantify the relationship between crash rates, sight distance parameters, and operating speeds to present an approach to establishing performance-based standards that highway practitioners can adopt in roundabout design. Geometric, traffic, and crash data were collected on 72 approaches to 19 low-volume single-lane roundabouts in six states. The data for these sites were broken into two groups based on the posted speed limit (at and greater than ). In addition, the associations between different sight distance parameters, crash parameters, and operating speed data were investigated. The research findings provided insight into relating the operational and safety effects of sight distance geometry at roundabouts. This research also identified a methodology that provides guidance as to the development of performance-based standards that rely on a better understanding of these relationships. In general, the research findings were consistent with previously conducted studies and indicated that exceeding sight distance thresholds increases the risk of crashes occurring. It was also found that exceeding sight distance thresholds yielded greater speed differentials between the approach and the entry to these roundabouts. The results of this research can advance the state of practice in understanding the relationships of sight distance design attributes, operational characteristics, and safety metrics for low-volume single-lane roundabouts, which is necessary to the creation of performance-based standards.

The first publicly charted optimized profile descent procedure was implemented at Los Angeles International Airport in December 2007. This new flight procedure was designed so that aircraft could conduct arrival and approach operations with the engines remaining at or near minimum idle power settings; thereby, saving an average of 25 gal of jet fuel per flight when compared to the various aircraft types conducting an arrival and approach along the same lateral path at Los Angeles International Airport. This optimized profile descent translates into annual reductions of approximately 2,000,000 gal of jet fuel and 41,000,000 lb of carbon dioxide emissions. Given the positive environmental benefits of an optimized profile descent, there are several projects underway to increase the use of environmentally friendly arrival procedures within the national airspace system. The aforementioned achievement at Los Angeles International Airport has motivated and enabled new optimized profile descent procedure designs for Atlanta, Miami, Charleston, and Phoenix.

Trends of fatal amateur-built aircraft accidents and toxicological findings in the associated pilot fatalities have not been examined. Methods: Fatal amateur-built aircraft accidents that occurred during 1990-2009 were evaluated by retrieving information from the CAMI toxicology database. Probable cause/factor in the amateur-built aircraft mishaps were obtained from the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB's) aviation accident database. Results: Of 6309 fatal aviation accidents from which CAMI received postmortem samples, 979 (16%) were related to amateur-built aircraft. There was a decreasing trend in non-amateur-built aircraft accidents, but an increasing trend in amateur-built aircraft accidents. In the 979 accidents, 392 pilots (40%) were positive for ethanol and/or drugs. In these 392 accidents also, the review showed a decreasing trend with non-amateur-built aircraft and an increasing trend with amateur-built aircraft. Percentages of pilots with prescription drugs were 26% for amateur-built aircraft, 16% for non-amateur-built aircraft, and 18% for all aircraft. Ethanol/drug use and medical condition were determined to be a cause/factor in 42 (11%) of the 385 ethanol/ drug-positive amateur-built aircraft accidents investigated by the NTSB. Discussion: Drugs found in the pilots were consistent with commonly used medications in the general population. The contributory role of mechanical malfunction of home-built aircraft cannot be ruled out in the observed increasing trends in their accidents, with or without ethanol and/or drugs. Regardless, the increasing trends of such accidents are of significant concern.

Thirty-six websites with message boards categorized as either violent ideological, nonviolent ideological, or nonviolent nonideological were content coded for several distinguishing characteristics. The results indicated that group type was predicted by the type of information presented, the difficulty of becoming a member, and the amount of freedom members had on discussion boards. These findings suggest that characteristics of violent ideological group websites can be used to distinguish them from websites of both nonviolent ideological and nonideological groups. This study also provides a demonstration of a research methodology that can be used to naturally observe ideological groups via an online setting.

This volunteer sample received a small compensation for study participation, with an assurance that their license status would not be affected by the results. A comparison with all older drivers who visited the same sites on the same days indicated that the study sample was representative of Maryland older drivers with respect to age and prior driving safety indices. Relationships between drivers’ scores on a computer touchscreen version of the Maze Test and prospective crash and serious moving violation experience were analyzed. Results identified specific mazes as highly significant predictors of future safety risk for older drivers, with a particular focus on non-intersection crashes. Study findings indicate that performance on Maze Tests was predictive of prospective crashes and may be useful, as a complement to other, established cognitive screening tools, in identifying at-risk older drivers.

This study combined fixed-site and mobile air quality measurements with laboratory wind tunnel experiments to examine how the transport and dispersion of traffic-emitted pollutants varies with changing roadway configuration, notably with at-grade and cut section designs. Results of the study indicated that short-term maximum concentrations occurred with measurements made along at-grade locations, however, average concentrations tended to be higher at the top of the cut section compared with the at-grade location, most often occurring during lower air pollutant events. Wind flow and NO2/NO x ratios indicated that the cut section moderated peak concentrations through increased transport and dispersion, as well as reducing the influence of turbulence from vehicle activity near the road. The at-grade locations also experienced a higher impact from primary vehicle emissions than those measurements made at similar distances along a cut section. Mobile monitoring suggested that these peak concentrations quickly conformed to concentration levels measured near cut sections within 50–100 m of the source highway. Wind tunnel simulations of the study site with and without the cut section present indicated that the cut section reduced the concentrations of primary emitted vehicle pollutants by 15–25 percent for receptors located approximately 20 m from the highway. The wind tunnel simulations also revealed that buildings and other urban features influenced local-scale pollutant transport and need to be considered when evaluating near-road air quality.

This paper determines the economic costs of delayed flights, including the direct effects of increased airline cost and the indirect effects of lost labour productivity for business travellers, an opportunity cost of time for leisure travellers, and changes in consumer spending on travel and tourism goods and services. US net welfare would increase by $17.6 billion for a loper cent reduction in flight delay and by $38.5 billion for a 30 per cent reduction.

On the basis of the systems approach, a model of system of systems (SoS) that is validated through comparison with the Schelling model and applies to more neighbourhoods is proposed. The systems model of an SoS empirically demonstrates the potential for conflict to arise as the autonomy of systems within a geographically distributed SoS increases. The results may contribute to future international policy as well as ecological management.

The success of efforts to increase use is measured by road side observations and self-report questionnaires. These methods have shortcomings, with the former requiring a binary point estimate and the latter being subjective. The 100-car naturalistic driving study presented a unique opportunity to study seat belt use in that seat belt status was known for every trip each driver made during a 12-month period. Drivers were grouped into infrequent, occasional, or consistent seat belt users based on the frequency of belt use. Analyses were then completed to assess if these groups differed on several measures including personality, demographics, self-reported driving style variables as well as measures from the 100-car study instrumentation suite (average trip speed, trips per day). In addition, detailed analyses of the occasional belt user group were completed to identify factors that were predictive of occasional belt users wearing their belts. The analyses indicated that consistent seat belt users took fewer trips per day, and that increased average trip speed was associated with increased belt use among occasional belt users. The results of this project may help focus messaging efforts to convert occasional and inconsistent seat belt users to consistent users.

JO - Journal of Bridge Engineering JF - Journal of Bridge Engineering Y1 - 2012/11// VL - 17 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 951 EP - 954 SN - 10840702 AB - Delamination of the concrete cover above the upper reinforcing bars is a common problem in concrete bridge decks. Acoustic nondestructive evaluation is widely used to detect such delamination because of its low cost, fast speed, and ease of implementation. The accuracy of traditional acoustic approaches is dependent on the level of ambient noise, and the detection process is highly subjective. An automatic impact-based delamination detection (AIDD) system is described in this paper. In this system, the traffic noise is eliminated by a modified version of independent component analysis. Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients are then used as features for detection to eliminate subjectivity. The delamination detection is performed by a radial basis function neural network. The AIDD system was developed using mixed-language programming in MATLAB, LabVIEW, and C++. The performance of the system was evaluated using data from two bridges, and the results were satisfactory.

For validation, gasification apparatus and cone calorimeter tests are conducted. The main focus is on the influence of residue formation. Therefore, poly (butylene terephthalate) (PBT) and PBT reinforced with glass fibres (PBT-GF) are investigated and compared. PBT decomposes almost completely, while PBT-GF forms residue. The materials are characterised in order to provide suitable input parameters. Additionally the total incident heat flux to the sample is measured. With accurate input parameters, FDS and ThermaKin predicted the pyrolysis behaviour of PBT very well. Only some limitations are identified regarding the residue-forming PBT-GF. Both numerical simulation tools demonstrate a high value regarding the assessment of parameters’ relative impacts and thus the evaluation of optimisation routes in polymer and composite development.

Block time is the time elapsed from gate departure to gate arrival and refers to the time when blocks are off the wheels at the departure airport to the time they are back on at the destination airport. These delays can be induced (i.e., ground delays), propagated, or stochastic. With capacity constrained at major airports and regulators facing greater public pressure to alleviate congestion and tarmac delays, aviation practitioners have renewed their interest in the predictability of block time. This study presents a methodology based on the case study of the Seattle/Tacoma International (SEA) and Oakland International airport (OAK) city pair to determine the predictability of block time. The methodology based on quantile regression models is appropriate for a skewed distribution where analysts are interested in the impact of selected operational variables on the conditional mean of block times at given percentiles. Quantile regression provides a measure of on-time performance based on the percentile results that show the most significance and best fit.

It suggests that jumpers get a thorough pilot briefing before jumping from an unfamiliar helicopter. The author advises against walking behind a helicopter to avoid the tail rotor. It explains why the loss of the tail rotor in flight is more serious than engine failure. It cites several reasons why helicopter pilots do not perform out-of-ground-effect (OGE) hovers for jumpers.

AB - Although it is generally expected that wider lines will have a positive effect on vehicle safety, there have not been any convincing evidence based on the crash data analysis, partly because of the lack of relevant data. In this paper, the safety effect of wider edge lines was examined by analyzing crash frequency data for road segments with and without wider edge lines. The data from three states, Kansas, Michigan, and Illinois, have been analyzed. Because of different nature of data from each state, a different statistical analysis approach was employed for each state: an empirical Bayes, before-after analysis of Kansas data, an interrupted time series design and generalized linear segmented regression analysis of Michigan data, and a cross sectional analysis of Illinois data. Although it is well-known that causation is hard to establish based on observational studies, the results from three extensive statistical analyses all point to the same findings. The consistent findings lend support to the positive safety effects of wider edge lines installed on rural, two-lane highways.

Fourteen cure cycles were designed to study a wide range of curing pressures, curing temperatures, and two different vacuum-application durations, including vacuum vented at recommended pressure and vacuum held throughout the cure cycle. The results showed that the SBS strength did not vary significantly over a relatively wide range of curing temperatures and pressures if vacuum was vented at recommended curing pressure; however, after a certain point, a decreasing trend in the SBS strength was observed by reducing the curing temperature and pressure. The C-scan images of panels cured with the vacuum held throughout the cure cycles revealed presence of a high-porosity cross-shaped defect at the center of the panels. The observed defect became larger as the curing pressure decreased. The correlation between the SBS strength and the void content was studied using theoretical models and experimental data. The investigation of the failure modes for each panel showed a change in both the H/W and the RT/D failure mechanism as a result of variation in curing temperature and pressure.

Temperature at any depth in a rigid pavement system can be estimated by using the proposed solution with input data such as pavement layer thicknesses, material thermal properties, and the measured air temperature and solar radiation intensities. The associated initial boundary value problem is governed by the classic heat conduction equation with the air temperature and solar radiation considered in the surface boundary condition. Interpolatory trigonometric polynomials, based on the method of discrete least-squares approximation, are used to fit the measured air temperature and solar radiation intensities during a user-defined time period. The relationship between the constants of integration for the th layer and the first layer are deduced, which simplifies the solution process. Model validation with the measured data confirms that the proposed solution generates a reasonable temperature profile in the concrete slab of a four-layer rigid pavement system during two different time periods of the year.

Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125-5066; No. of Pages: 7; Language: English; Publication Type: Article; Update Code: 20120829 N2 - Introduction: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Aerospace Medici ne sets medical standards needed to protect the pubi ic and pilots from death or injury due to incapacitation of the pilot. As a part of this process, toxicology testing is performed by the FAA on almost every pilot who is fatally injured in an aviation accident to determine the medical condition of the pilot, medications used by the pilot at the time of the accident, and the extent of impairment, if any. Method: The data were extracted from the FAA toxicology database for all pilots who died from 2004 to 2008 in aviation accidents. Results: The laboratory re-ceived and tested specimens from 1353 pilots who died in aviation ac-cidents between 2004 and 2008; 507 of these pilots were found to be taking drugs and 92 had ethanol in excess of 0.04 g · dl-1. Discussion: This study was conducted to determine the extent of drug use in pilots who have died in aviation accidents from 2004 to 2008 and to deter-mine the types of drugs most commonly found. A comparison of previ-ously published reports with this study's report was made to determine trends in drug use by pilots who have died in aviation accidents over the past 20 yr. Factors were discussed that could influence drug trends. Diphenhydramine, an H1 antihistamine with impairing properties, is the most commonly found drug in pilots who died in an aviation accident.

We consider a collaborative SoS, which forms through the apparent voluntary decisions of its component systems. However, many collaborative SoS do not possess the intellectual capacity to make human-like decisions. To understand the formation of SoS better, properties are modeled mathematically. An agent-based model (ABM) simulation validates the model via a mock chemical reaction of atoms forming molecules. In the engineering and management of these systems, this information allows better decisions that support or deny SoS formation.

Their maintenance and operations (field force) staffs constitute the most visible and vital element, especially in the response and recovery phases. They are among the first to respond and clear roadways so that police, fire, emergency medical, and utilities vehicles can access stricken areas. Field forces also assist with rescue, evacuation, and sheltering and provide temporary traffic control, perimeter security, animal control, transportation of supplies and equipment, on-site vehicle service, debris management, and restoration of infrastructure. The wide range of their capabilities is a valuable component in nearly any type of crisis. Homeland Security Presidential Directive 8 of 2003 included public works as "emergency responders." However, overall acceptance and recognition by primary responder disciplines as equals in emergency management are still lacking. Even public works officials must raise awareness within their own discipline that emergency management is just as important as other functions. This paper examines the evolving mission of public works in emergency management.

The first production stage (fabrication) is a push process where parts are replenished, tested, and assembled into components according to product-level build plans. The component inventory is kept in stock ready for the final assembly of the end products. The second production stage (fulfillment) is a pull-based assemble-to-order process where the final assembly process is initiated when a customer order is received and no finished goods inventory is kept for end products. One important planning issue is to find the right trade-off between capacity utilization and inventory cost reduction that strives to meet the quarter-end peak demand. We present a nonlinear optimization model to minimize the total inventory cost subject to the service level constraints and the production capacity constraints. This results in a convex program with linear constraints. An efficient algorithm using decomposition is developed for solving the nonlinear optimization problem. Numerical results are presented to show the performance improvements achieved by the optimized solutions along with managerial insights provided.

A 20-year design life pavement stretching 11.27-km-long section of 4-lane Highway 53, in Lake County, California is considered for this project level study. Three M&R strategies available in the CalME program were evaluated including, Extended Pavement Preservation (EPP), Preservation-Preservation-Rehabilitation (PPR), and Rehabilitation only (R). These strategies are applied as certain levels of distresses (rutting and cracking) are reached. The California-customized RealCost LCCA program was also employed to compare the various M&R strategies using the Equivalent Uniform Annual Cost (EUAC). LCCA demonstrated that EPP was the best economical alternative to maintain the pavement in a good usable condition for as long as 80 years of service. The methodology employed in this paper also demonstrated that extended life pavement may be achieved from a 20-year design by selecting the optimal preservation techniques and optimizing their time of application.

The model inputs are pavement layer thicknesses, thermal conductivity and diffusivity of layer materials, average initial pavement temperatures along pavement depths, and measured pavement surface temperature data. The main mathematical tools employed in deriving the analytical solution of pavement layer temperature predictions are the Laplace transform and numerical inverse Laplace transform. Measured in situ temperature data from a two-layer flexible pavement system demonstrate that the derived analytical solution generates reasonable temperature profiles in the asphalt concrete layer. The main advantages of the proposed algorithm are that it can rapidly predict the pavement temperature profile when the thermal conductivity and diffusivity values of the layer material are selected and the surface temperature data are measured at end points of each equally spaced time interval. Climatic data, such as air temperature, solar radiation intensity, and wind speed, are not needed to implement this algorithm. This algorithm can be applied to assist field engineers in estimating temperature profiles in a multilayered pavement system for the period during which falling weight deflectometer (FWD) tests are performed.

A nine-member research team used a six-point (0-5) scale to evaluate regulatory analyses according to criteria drawn from Executive Order 12866 and Office of Management and Budget Circular A-4. Principal findings include: (1) the average quality of regulatory analysis, though not high, is somewhat better than previous regulatory scorecards have shown; (2) quality varies widely; (3) biggest strengths are accessibility and clarity; (4) biggest weaknesses are analysis of the systemic problem and retrospective analysis; (5) budget or 'transfer' regulations usually receive low-quality analysis; (6) a minority of the regulations contain evidence that the agency used the analysis in significant decisions; (7) quality of analysis is positively correlated with the apparent use of the analysis in regulatory decisions; and (8) greater diffusion of best practices could significantly improve the overall quality of regulatory analysis.

An earlier study on poly(aryl ether ether ketone) (PEEK) has showed that the fire performance parameters of this thermoplastic change noticeably when exposed to moisture prior to test. The present research is a follow-up study where a series of cone calorimetry tests are conducted on conditioned PEEK specimens to analyze the previously reported ignition time scatter and its relation to surface bubble formation. Pyrolysis modeling is, subsequently, carried out, to relate the moisture content with the model parameters and to explain the possible physical mechanisms that cause the difference in ignition times between wet and dry samples.

SN - 0364152X AB - Scaling up for alternative energy such as solar, wind, and biofuel raises a number of environmental issues, notably changes in land use and adverse effects on wildlife. Airports offer one of the few land uses where reductions in wildlife abundance and habitat quality are necessary and socially acceptable, due to risk of wildlife collisions with aircraft. There are several uncertainties and limitations to establishing alternative energy production at airports, such as ensuring these facilities do not create wildlife attractants or other hazards. However, with careful planning, locating alternative energy projects at airports could help mitigate many of the challenges currently facing policy makers, developers, and conservationists.

If handled properly, aviation is a proven asset that can be effectively used before, during, and after emergencies. The authors determined that literature on LEMA planning provides little evidence of local governments systematically addressing the role of aviation in their planning for emergencies. Most localities could improve their response capabilities if they integrate aviation into their planning. To provide ideas and to spur discussion in the LEMA community, this article addresses the current position of aviation in local emergency planning, what aspects of the role of aviation in emergencies that LEMAs should take into account including federal and state authority in EM aviation, and possible means and templates to assist LEMAs in incorporating aviation into their planning.

The precipitous drop in home and stock prices that continued through the first quarter of 2009 accelerated the drop in household wealth. Meanwhile, U.S. air travel suffered tremendously. While the economy contracted by around 1% in 2008 and the first part of 2009, total domestic enplanement dropped more than 4% over its 2007 level. Gross domestic product (GDP) or some other measure of current income has been a good predictor of air travel in the past. While current income is considered to be a good proxy for current discretionary spending, of which air travel is only one small part, recent destruction of wealth has significantly reduced the average consumer's traditional appetite for expenditure, including air travel. Interestingly, there is very little empirical analysis that establishes a link between wealth and air travel. The paper seeks to address this gap by asking and investigating two empirical questions: (a) Does wealth have any quantifiable impact on U.S. air travel, controlling for all other relevant variables such as current income, past wealth, fare, and credit availability? (b) What has been the quantitative impact of wealth loss on air travel? The paper finds that the household wealth loss of U.S. $17 trillion yielded a loss of air travel demand of 730,000 passengers; or a loss of revenue of $244 million. As household wealth improved during the last two years, air travel recovered. Some of the lost passenger demand has been recouped (435,000) but a complete wealth-induced recovery still seems to be far off. Results of this analysis are important for both understanding future transitions in U.S. air travel, and hence forecasting, and formulating policy responses that may be designed more narrowly and effectively.

Two sets of fluence-to-effective dose conversion coefficients for isotropic exposure to these particles were compared: one used the particle and heavy ion transport code system (PHITS) radiation transport code coupled with the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) reference phantoms (PHITS-ICRP) and the other the Monte Carlo N-Particle eXtended (MCNPX) radiation transport code coupled with modified BodyBuilder™ phantoms (MCNPX-BB). Also, two sets of fluence-to-effective dose equivalent conversion coefficients calculated using the PHITS-ICRP combination were compared: one used quality factors based on linear energy transfer; the other used quality factors based on lineal energy (y). Finally, PHITS-ICRP effective dose coefficients were compared with PHITS-ICRP effective dose equivalent coefficients. The PHITS-ICRP and MCNPX-BB effective dose coefficients were similar, except at high energies, where MCNPX-BB coefficients were higher. For helions, at most energies effective dose coefficients were much greater than effective dose equivalent coefficients. For deuterons and tritons, coefficients were similar when their radiation weighting factor was set to 2.

AB - An accurate measure of mental workload in human operators is a critical element of monitoring and adaptive aiding systems that are designed to improve the efficiency and safety of human–machine systems during critical tasks. Functional near infrared (fNIR) spectroscopy is a field-deployable non-invasive optical brain monitoring technology that provides a measure of cerebral hemodynamics within the prefrontal cortex in response to sensory, motor, or cognitive activation. In this paper, we provide evidence from two studies that fNIR can be used in ecologically valid environments to assess the: 1)mental workload of operators performing standardized (n-back) and complex cognitive tasks (air traffic control—ATC), and 2) development of expertise during practice of complex cognitive and visuomotor tasks (piloting unmanned air vehicles—UAV). Results indicate that fNIR measures are sensitive to mental task load and practice level, and provide evidence of the fNIR deployment in the field for its ability to monitor hemodynamic changes that are associated with relative cognitive workload changes of operators. The methods reported here provide guidance for the development of strategic requirements necessary for the design of complex human–machine interface systems and assist with assessments of human operator performance criteria.

Page Count: 16. AB - This chapter examines the continuing and growing importance of mobility for Baby Boomers. Over their six decades of living, they have reflected and reinforced the necessity of seamless on-demand mobility—most often characterized by the car. This chapter begins by considering what future demands for mobility will look like. Various issues for the need for mobility are discussed including retirement or continuing to work; health care services and medical trips; shopping; and, social outlets and activities. There are also both direct and indirect costs associated with immobility which are discussed. The chapter closes by looking ahead to 2021 when the oldest Baby Boomers will turn 75 in 2021, but the youngest in this cohort will only be 57. The need for mobility among Baby Boomers is unlikely to decline as they age and begin to retire from their primary careers. Only economic decline, as punctuated by the 2008 downturn, has impacted the overall vehicle miles traveled by all age groups. If anything, die higher expectations that Baby Boomers have for retirement activities, the need for many of them and die desire of some to continue to work, and the increased likelihood of providing care for elderly parents suggest that demand for mobility and trips among Baby Boomers will remain high.

AB - The combination of longer lifespans and increased dependence on the car as the primary mode of transportation means that many more older adults will be driving much longer, and much further, than they have in previous generations (Foley, Heimovitz, Guralnik, & Brock, 2002). Future projections of older drivers predict a dramatic growth in their numbers. The fact that such increases may not be out of proportion to the growth in the number and percentage of older drivers in the same period provides limited comfort. The question remains of how to keep older adults mobile yet safe. This volume considers a number of possible and partial answers to this question. Technological innovations in the car itself provide one partial solution; the development of transportation alternatives for older adults beyond the car represents another. Improvements in infrastructure and the driving environment are another means to keep older adults, and indeed all transportation system users, safer. Another possible answer to the question of how to keep older adults mobile yet safe lies in education, specifically in driver education designed for older adults. Such programs hold the promise of helping older drivers to maintain their driving skills and develop compensatory strategies for age-related changes that they may experience in their driving ability, so that they can continue to drive safely.

Reflecting the nation's general demographic trends, the number of older licensed drivers grew by 29% between 1992 and 2002, compared with only a 12% increase in the number of all licensed drivers (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 2003). Most older adults live in suburban and rural areas where transit service is limited or nonexistent. As baby boomers, the country's largest and most automobile-dependent generation have already begun to turn 65, it is imperative to start identifying all components that contribute to safe driving over a lifetime. Older driver education is one approach that may simultaneously support driving longevity as well as promote public safety. Well over a million people have taken an older driver course in the United States. Older driver education programs serve to refresh road skills and improve driver confidence. It has been found that the skills acquired through these courses can improve secondary outcomes, which in turn contribute to lower crash rates. For instance, studies indicate a reduction in the number of citations received after taking driver education courses (Transportation Research Board [TRB] & National Cooperative Highway Research Program, 2005). Further, these programs often improve self-regulation habits (Owsley, Stalvey, & Phillips, 2003). Enhanced visual and/or perceptual skills constitute another favorable secondary outcome (Roenker, Cissell, Ball, Wadley & Edwards, 2003). The present study seeks to characterize the scope and type of driver education courses currently offered in the United States. It is an attempt to baseline the current state of such programs by identifying and describing course characteristics such as teaching methods, content, and possible gaps in driver education as the nation prepares for an unprecedented increase in the older driver population.

After all, unlike future economic conditions or technology forecasting models, both of which rest on many 'assumptions,' near-term future demographic reality can be closely approximated by who is already here. This volume provides countless insights into the possible transportation behaviors of the next generation of older adults, future challenges to both their safety and mobility, as well as the promise of new technologies, services, and changes in infrastructure necessary to meet the new needs of the next generation of older Americans. What is less clear is whether the demographic reality of an aging nation is being translated into the nation's future transportation plans and policies. Transportation plans and investments made over the next five to ten years are critical to the future safe mobility of an aging America. As Congress now begins deliberations to envision and reauthorize the nation's surface transportation system, it is appropriate to understand where aging is on the transportation policy agenda and what plans are underway to anticipate the demands of the nearly 80 million baby boomers who will begin turning 75 in 2021.

Technology is a critical tool to recording, analyzing, and predicting trends in data that could not be achieved prior to its implementation. Informatics is the translation of this data into information, knowledge, and wisdom. Combining technology and informatics applications with response efforts has resulted in various enhanced biosurveillance efforts, advanced communications, and information management during disasters. Although these efforts have been well described in the literature, research on the impact of technology and informatics during these efforts has been limited. As a result, this chapter will provide an overview of these technology and informatics solutions and present suggestions for further research in an era when disaster and humanitarian response efforts continue to increase as well, A literature search was performed using PubMed search tools with the National Library of Medicine Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms of 'disasters,' 'disaster planning,' 'disaster medicine,' 'technology,' 'informatics,' and 'research,' Search limitations were set for 5 years and in English, Because of the limited number of research articles in this field, the MeSH term research was deleted.

AB - This solution-focused volume fills a gap in the literature by addressing the key issues around mobility and transportation for the aging Baby Boomer generation—issues that will be significantly different from those of previous generations of older adults. This new generation, many of whom will continue to work past the traditional retirement age and who expect to pursue an active lifestyle, may have to confront new transportation technology, the need to use public transportation, and ways to continue driving safely as their eyesight fades and reaction time slows. This volume examines many of the issues faced by policymakers, transportation officials, vehicle manufacturers, health and human services professionals, and aging adults themselves as the largest generation prepares to enter late adulthood. Through the contributions of a diverse group of theorists and practitioners, including recommendations from The National Older Driver Safety Advisory Council, the book discusses the changing demographics of the population, how Baby Boomer's lifestyle choices affect mobility, technology trends in private vehicles, changes in the infrastructure and transportation system, the 'new' older driver, and issues of safety and education among older drivers. This book also explores practical solutions and strategies, such as new transportation options and innovations that will significantly impact the future of mobility for older adults, and for keeping these seniors active and mobile well into their later years.

T1 - Modeling ecosystem responses to prescribed fires in a phosphorus-enriched Everglades wetland: II. Phosphorus dynamics and community shift in response to hydrological and seasonal scenarios JO - Ecological Modelling JF - Ecological Modelling Y1 - 2011/12/10/ VL - 222 IS - 23/24 M3 - Article SP - 3942 EP - 3956 SN - 03043800 AB - Fires have been proposed as one of the important options to manage and restore degraded wetlands through changing nutrient regimes; however, their effects on nutrient dynamics and community shift have not been studied sufficiently. In this study, wetland ecosystem model (WEM) was enhanced by incorporating plant competition, and applied to a moderately phosphorus-enriched area in the Everglades with a mixed cattail (Typha domingensis) and sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense) community. The WEM model was first validated by comparing simulated results against field observations, and applied to evaluate the effects of multiple surface fires on phosphorus (P) dynamics and the structure of a mixed cattail and sawgrass community. The simulation results indicated that a single fire could substantially alter the P dynamics in surface water for nearly two months, while multiple fires within a two-year interval, regardless of season, could cause a shift of plant community structure, expressed as a desirable increase in sawgrass and a decrease in cattail. After the successive fires, the biomass and composition of recovering plant community did not reach the pre-fire level within six years. Regardless of season, the fires conducted under the low-water-depth condition, compared with the high-water-depth condition, yielded stronger effects on P dynamics in soil, surface water, porewater, and on the plant community composition. Regardless of water depths, February fires, compared to July fires, caused a stronger shift in plant community structure expressed as a decrease in cattail biomass and an increase in sawgrass biomass. Regardless of seasons and water depths, fires caused a short-term increase and long-term decline in total phosphorus (TP) concentration in soil, surface water, and porewater. These results might suggest that the winter fires, under low-water-depth appear to be the best fire management option for accelerating recovery of a cattail-dominated wetland to a sawgrass-dominated wetland. In the proposed fire and hydrological regimes, four fires at two-year intervals generated the maximum suppressing effect on cattail, and the maximum stimulating effect on sawgrass. The results of this study support the concept that fire could be used as an option to manage plant composition and dominance. However, further process-based studies are necessary to explore additional fire regimes and hydrological scenarios to maintain sawgrass over cattail.

Accident investigation concentrates on failures, which are important for discovering major breakdowns, but failures are rare events. Proactive approaches offer the flexibility of observing normal operations A Line Operations Safety Audit (LOSA) is a voluntary safety program that collects safety data during normal airline operations and was originally designed for flight deck operations. The goal of this FAA-sponsored project is to capitalize on the 10-plus years of successful audits on the flight deck. The hazards that threaten the safety of flight deck operations are not unique to that environment. Similar problems are present during maintenance and ramp operations. This report provides a review of the use of LOSA, discusses LOSA’s essential operating characteristics, lessons learned on the flight deck, and describes the extension of LOSA to maintenance and ramp operations. The research team developed tools for airlines and maintenance organizations to use as they initiate their maintenance (M-LOSA) and ramp (R-LOSA) programs.

Basic attributes of personality and motivation are of importance for military aviators to maintain optimal personal effectiveness, flying proficiency and safety in aviation. Ninety military pilots were assessed on the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS), and the Revised Neuroticism Extraversion and Openness Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R). The results of this study showed that Indian aircrew were lower on achievement, dominance, change and heterosexuality when compared to American aircrew. They were significantly higher on other needs such as affiliation, deference, order, succorance, abasement and nurturance. The results on the NEO-PI-R showed that the group was significantly higher on neuroticism and significantly lower on extraversion and conscientiousness. These cross cultural differences can be attributed to the collectivistic nature of Indian culture as opposed to the individualistic nature of American culture. The findings imply that cultural factors are likely to influence personality and motivation and that this issue needs to be taken into account during aircrew selection, training and clinical evaluation.

AB - It is widely believed that the aviation industry contributes to global climate change. Both the industry and its detrimental effect upon the environment are predicted to grow over the next 10–15 years. Although numerous lobby groups have tried to deter people from unnecessary air travel by explaining how aviation is a factor in causing global climate change, few people report they will try to limit the amount of flights that they take. A between-subjects experimental design was used to test whether participants exposed to information about the adverse effect of aviation on the environment desire to fly more than those not exposed to such information. Evidence of a boomerang effect was observed, whereby exposure to information about aviation’s contribution to global climate change led to a significant increase in perceived desire to fly.

This paper summarizes proposed changes to the fifth edition of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications related to orthotropic deck bridges. The current version of AASHTO-LRFD contains provisions that provide limited guidance to complete the fatigue design. Contained within these proposed changes is a new framework for design verification, which may be based on different levels of design or physical testing. Criteria related to loads, load factors, limit states including fatigue in particular, resistance, and analysis requirements are covered in detail. Designs made according to these new provisions can be expected to perform very well and meet the design service life as per AASHTO-LRFD.

The 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 190 continues to delineate the United States process to adopt and revise safety regulations pertaining to LNG terminals and peak shaving plant sitting. 1 [1] Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 190, Pipeline Safety Programs and Rulemaking Procedures. Embodied in these regulations are rich legal and regulatory traditions that are unique to the U.S. perspective. For example, the public is encouraged to petition existing regulations and to comment on regulatory proposals. Litigation within the U.S. court system is another means by which industry and the public may seek regulatory change. This approach promotes public involvement in governmental oversight and creates a distinctive obligation and accountability for U.S. regulatory agencies, which uniquely shape technical, safety, risk mitigation, and societal risk perspectives for siting LNG terminals. European traditions shape siting regulations for LNG terminals as well. Though American siting guidance includes references to the National Fire Protection Association’s NFPA 59A and 49 CFR, Part 193, European developers also apply the guidance within EN 1473 – a risk-based case-by-case analysis directive. 2,3,4 [2] Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 193, Liquefied Natural Gas Facilities: Federal Safety Standards. [3] National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 59A, Standard for the Production, Storage, and Handling of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), 2001 Ed. [4] EN-1473, Installation and Equipment for Liquefied Natural Gas. Design of Onshore Installations. The NFPA 59A standard is applied for a basis to examine property line spacing as they pertain or may relate to off-site hazard impacts. The European approach applies the assessment and suitability of code compliance and the application of accepted engineering practices. In addition the approach incorporates the application of empirical risk assessments and computational modeling to reach an understanding of risk exposures. European policies set limits on the population’s cumulative exposure to facility risks and require LNG facility developers not to exceed established risk criteria. This paper describes how the U.S. and Europe site LNG terminals, identifies key differences in their risk-based approaches, and explains why these differences exist. This discussion also examines historical precedents that have influenced regulations and approval processes for siting LNG terminals within each continent.

JO - Journal of Transportation Engineering JF - Journal of Transportation Engineering Y1 - 2011/11// VL - 137 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 796 EP - 804 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 0733947X AB - Many sources of uncertainty are inherent in pavement design. These uncertainties must be incorporated systematically in a reliability analysis to compute their combined effects on the probability of failure of a given pavement structure. Monte Carlo simulation has been the technique of choice in the past to simulate the effects of uncertainties in input parameters on pavement distress and the resultant reliability analyses. The impractical computational time associated with a Monte Carlo scheme, however, has prompted the deferral of the implementation of similar techniques in the current Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). Instead, the reliability analysis implemented in the current MEPDG is performed on the basis of a simple assessment of the overall standard error of the predicted distress compared to the observed distress of the long-term pavement performance (LTPP) sections. It relies on a set of predetermined variability values obtained from a performance database instead of the site-specific input parameters that induce such uncertainty in distress predictions. Past efforts found that techniques (such as the Latin hypercube method) that require a substantially reduced number of simulations compared with Monte Carlo accuracy still suffered from the need for repeated execution of the MEDPG calculations. This study proposes to combine an efficient numerical scheme to conduct statistical simulations with the MEPDG calculations. It makes use of the concept of the representative linear elastic (LE) structure to minimize the number of repeated executions involved in simulations. The numerical scheme can be combined with any simulation technique of random variables to perform a reliability analysis of flexible pavements. The relative merits of Monte Carlo simulation, Latin hypercube simulation, and Rosenblueth's 2K+1 point-estimate method are compared. The simulations show that the Latin hypercube method is an efficient alternative to the computationally intensive Monte Carlo technique. On the other hand, although Rosenblueth's 2K+1 point-estimate method is much simpler, it is not capable of capturing the important attributes of the distribution of either input or output variables.

Copyright Statement: The Aerospace Medical Association AB - Introduction: The illumination of flight crew personnel by lasers while they perform landing and departure maneuvers has concerned the aviation community for the past two decades. This study examines the frequency of illumination events in the United States by altitude and chronology of occurrence to determine where and when aviators and the flying public may be at greatest risk. Methods: Reports of aircraft illuminated by high-intensity light sources are maintained in a database at the Federal Aviation Administration's Civil Aerospace Medical Institute. Reports of flight crewmembers exposed to lasers from January 1, 2004, to December 31, 2008, were collected and analyzed. Results: Cockpit illuminations at or below 2000 ft (∼610 m) increased from 12.5 to 26.7% over the 5-yr period, while the percentage of illuminations between 2000 and 10,000 ft (∼610-3048 m) decreased from 87.5 to 58.4%. The months of November and December had the highest frequency of laser events (23%), while May and June had the least (12%). Sunday was the most likely day for an aircraft to be illuminated (18.3%), while Wednesday was the least likely day for such an incident (15.4%). More than 91% of all aircraft illumination events occurred between 1800 and midnight. Conclusion: The continuing increase in the number of laser illuminations reported at or below 2000 ft (∼610 m) represents an escalating threat to aviation safety. Information provided in this study may allow law enforcement to deploy their resources more efficiently to apprehend those responsible for these crimes.

Moreover, several studies have demonstrated that novice drivers are more likely to glance away from the roadway than the experienced drivers for extended periods when attempting to do a task inside the vehicle. The present study examines the efficacy of a PC-based training programme (FOrward Concentration and Attention Learning, FOCAL) designed to teach novice drivers not to glance away forthese extended periods of time. A FOCAL-trained group was compared with a placebo-trained group in an on-road test, and the FOCAL-trained group made significantly fewer glances away from the roadway that were more than 2 s than the placebo-trained group. Other measures indicated an advantage for the FOCAL-trained group as well. Statement of relevance: Distracted driving is increasingly a problem, as cell phones, navigation systems, and other in-vehicle devices are introduced into the cabin of the automobile. A training programme is described that has beentested on the open road and can reduce the behaviours that lead to crashes caused by the distracted driving.

Methods and Results: The ResPlex II assay was first tested for its ability to detect inactivated viruses applied to new filter material; all 18 applications of virus at a high concentration were detected. The ResPlex II assay was then used to test for 18 respiratory viruses on 48 used air filter samples from commercial aircraft. Three samples tested positive for viruses, and three viruses were detected: rhinovirus, influenza A and influenza B. For 33 of 48 samples, internal PCR controls performed suboptimally, suggesting sample matrix effect. Conclusion: In some cases, influenza and rhinovirus RNA can be detected on aircraft air filters, even more than 10 days after the filters were removed from aircraft. Significance and Impact of the Study: With protocol modifications to overcome PCR inhibition, air filter sampling and the ResPlex II assay could be used to characterize viruses in aircraft cabin air. Information about viruses in aircraft could support public health measures to reduce disease transmission within aircraft and between cities.

This paper finds that when an administration's time is almost up, submissions of economically significant regulations nearly double. Such surges in regulatory activity decrease the duration of regulatory review at the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), likely because of political pressure to quickly approve new rules. Specifically, one additional economically significant regulation submitted to OIRA decreases the mean review time for all regulations by about two thirds of a day. If OIRA review improves regulation quality, then regulatory surges that decrease review time could hinder such improvement.

AB - Flight instructor training has remained largely unchanged since the beginning of aviation. The current method of training mostly involves the flight instructor trainee 'role-playing' as the instructor to their instructor who is 'role-playing' as the student. An analysis of the behaviors of flight instructor instrument trainees exhibited while teaching their peers (other classmates) indicates that the behaviors are different than those used when teaching an actual instrument student. This research suggests that the method in which flight instructors are trained produces behaviors that do not translate to real-world instruction, therefore potentially hindering the development of effective flight instructors.

AB - Previous evaluation efforts in maintenance resource management (MRM) training programs in the aviation industry have taken a piecemeal approach that fails to consistently consider training in an organizational systems context. Here, indicators of behavior prior to and following an MRM training program in place at a commercial air carrier’s maintenance facilities were assessed. Of particular interest was whether a previously established systems model could be applied in order to provide more effective training implementation. Structural equation modeling procedures found evidence to support using a systems framework to develop and assess safety training in industry.

Since 2003, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has promoted SMS implementation in its contracting States and introduced a safety management guidebook in 2006, namely Doc. 9859 Safety Management Manual (SMM) (ICAO, 2006). Furthermore, these obligations were enacted into the ICAO Annexes requiring SMS implementation in their international airlines, airports, air traffic control, accident investigation and aircraft maintenance facilities before January 2010. This study aims to discover the status of safety culture after the initiation of SMS in 2008 in Taiwan. Using convenient sampling and Delphi technique, survey participants were selected from attendees of an SMS recurrent workshop in Taipei, Taiwan in July 2010. The findings identified the status of safety culture according to the four categorized sub-cultures: Informed, Reporting, Just and Learning cultures. The results show many critical issues such as excessive top-down pressure, disregarding reported hazards, low-usage of the hazard reporting system, and skeptical managerial capability. A thorough list of findings and recommendations are provided in this paper for the Civil Aeronautics Administration of the Republic of China (CAA-ROC) to promote airport safety. This methodology would be applicable to other aviation and high risk organizations as an initial indicator of their baseline safety culture.

AB - The rapid expansion of the Chinese civil aviation industry has led to increasing numbers of Chinese students receiving flight training in western institutions. The growth of western flight training schools that service those students as well as the different cultural aspects of that population, including a preponderance of single child families, suggests a need to understand how learning styles of Chinese aviation students compare with their western counterparts. Researchers have evaluated several student populations to identify learning styles and thereby understand how training curricula might be adapted to engender a higher level of comprehension. In the present study, researchers administered the Kolb Learning Style Inventory (LSI) and a short biographical survey to 293 students enrolled in an aviation curriculum at a Chinese university. An analysis of the resulting data suggests that this population, over a four-year college curriculum, shifts from predominately assimilator and converger learning styles towards diverger and assimilator learning styles, implying a developed preference for reflective observation over abstract conceptualization This finding is different from earlier studies of western aviation student populations that suggested assimilator and converger learning styles predominate across all year groups in a four-year aviation program, reflecting a preference for abstract conceptualization. These insights may be useful in the development of curricula for western flight training institutions that are tasked with the preparation of students from dissimilar cultures.

In contrast, there appears to be limited understanding of the effect of caffeine on the rate at which individuals acquire or learn information. As a result, the present study sought to investigate whether caffeine can facilitate the rate at which individuals acquire and apply skills. Forty-five participants (all pilots) were randomly divided into three groups (0mg/kg, 3mg/kg & 5mg/kg of caffeine) and were asked to complete twelve sessions on a complex computer-based game titled Space Fortress. Following two familiarization trials, administration of caffeine, and a 30-minute distracter task, all participants completed ten consecutive sessions on Space Fortress. Data relating to individual performance on the ten sessions were analyzed in four separate areas—Total Score, Control, Speed, and Accuracy. The results revealed a trend where the 3mg/kg group outperformed both the 0mg/kg and the 5mg/kg groups. The results also suggest that caffeine in dosages equivalent to 5mg/kg have the potential to hinder effective learning. These findings are discussed from a theoretical and operational perspective.

Copyright Statement: Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology. 2011. AB - Comments on an article by Elaine D. Pulakos and Ryan S. O'Leary (see record [rid]2011-10991-002[/rid]). I heartily agree with the authors that there is too much emphasis on the formal, administrative aspects of performance management and too little on cultivating the daily dialogue between managers and their employees, which is the true essence of performance management. However, there are underlying obstacles to the effective implementation of performance management that are much more intractable and problematic and must be addressed. Foremost among these are managerial selection, accountability, and managerial courage. I have repeatedly observed flaws in these areas as serious detriments to performance management in both the private and public sector, but my discussion here focuses on the U.S. federal government because most of my work experience and research over the past decade has been in federal agencies. The authors also mentioned accountability as an example of an intervention that is likely to be required to improve performance management, but this brief acknowledgement implies that accountability is a minor factor compared to the performance management system and training they discuss at length. However, accountability is a critical factor for the success of performance management in any organization.

AB - This study evaluated a device that applied a sustained increase in accelerator pedal back force whenever drivers exceeded a preset speed criterion without buckling their seat belts. This force was removed once the belt was fastened. Participants were 6 commercial drivers who operated carpet-cleaning vans. During baseline, no contingency was in place for unbuckled trips. The pedal resistance was introduced via a multiple baseline design across groups. On the first day of treatment, the device was explained and demonstrated for all drivers of the vehicle. The treatment was associated with an immediate sustained increase in seat belt compliance to 100%. Occasionally, drivers initially did not buckle during a trip and encountered the force. In all instances, they buckled within less than 25 s. These results suggest that the increased force was sufficient to set up an establishing operation to reinforce seat belt buckling negatively. Drivers indicated that they were impressed with the device and would not drive very long unbelted with the pedal force in place.

AB - A systematic review of the literature to assess the effectiveness of ignition interlocks for reducing alcohol-impaired driving and alcohol-related crashes was conducted for the Guide to Community Preventive Services (Community Guide). Because one of the primary research issues of interest—the degree to which the installation of interlocks in offenders’ vehicles reduces alcohol-impaired driving in comparison to alternative sanctions (primarily license suspension)—was addressed by a 2004 systematic review conducted for the Cochrane Collaboration, the current review incorporates that previous work and extends it to include more recent literature and crash outcomes. The body of evidence evaluated includes the 11 studies from the prior review, plus four more recent studies published through December 2007. The installation of ignition interlocks was associated consistently with large reductions in re-arrest rates for alcohol-impaired driving within both the earlier and later bodies of evidence. Following removal of interlocks, re-arrest rates reverted to levels similar to those for comparison groups. The limited available evidence from three studies that evaluated crash rates suggests that alcohol-related crashes decrease while interlocks are installed in vehicles. According to Community Guide rules of evidence, these findings provide strong evidence that interlocks, while they are in use in offenders’ vehicles, are effective in reducing re-arrest rates. However, the potential for interlock programs to reduce alcohol-related crashes is currently limited by the small proportion of offenders who participate in the programs and the lack of a persistent beneficial effect once the interlock is removed. Suggestions for facilitating more widespread and sustained use of ignition interlocks are provided.

AB - This paper focuses on the development of fatigue risk management systems (FRMS) in the transport sector. The evolution of regulatory frameworks is traced, from uni-dimensional hours of service regulations through to frameworks that enable multi-dimensional FRMS. These regulatory changes reflect advances in understanding of human error in the aetiology of accidents, and in fatigue and safety science. Implementation of FRMS shifts the locus of responsibility for safety away from the regulator towards companies and individuals, and requires changes in traditional roles. Organizational, ethnic, and national culture need to be considered. Recent trends in the work environment have potential to adversely affect FRMS, including precarious employment and shortages of skilled labour. Essential components of an FRMS, and examples of FRMS in different transport modes, are described. It is vital that regulators, employer, and employees have an understanding of the causes and consequences of fatigue that is sufficient for them to meet their responsibilities in relation to FRMS. While there is a strong evidence base supporting the principles of FRMS, experience with implementation is more limited. The evidence base for effective implementation will expand, since FRMS is data-driven, and ongoing evaluation is integral. We strongly advocate that experience be shared wherever possible.

We have evaluated if physiological differences between the two environments would translate into actual differences in hypoxia symptoms. Methods: We exposed 20 subjects to 5-mm 25,000-ft (7620-ni) equivalent environments in an altitude cham-ber and then in a ground-level portable reduced-oxygen training enclo-sure (PROTE). Heart rate and hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SaO2) were continuously monitored. Alveolar gas samples were collected at 1, 3, and 4 mm elapsed time. Subjects completed hypoxia symptom question-naires at the same time points. Results: Mean fourth minute alveolar oxy-gen tension (SaO2), alveolar carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2), and respiratory quotient (RQ) differed significantly between the chamber and PROTE. Declines in SaO2 appeared hiphasic, with steepest declines seen in the first minute. Rates of SaO2 decline over the 5-mm exposure were signifi-cantly different. Heart rate was not different, even when indexed to body surface area. Mean number of hypoxia symptoms between hypobaric and normobaric environments after 1 mm were significant. However, the temporal pattern of symptom frequencies across subjects between the chamber and PROTE were similar. Conclusions: Alveolar gas composi-tion and arterial hemoglobin oxygen desaturation patterns differed be-tween a ground level and hypobaric exposure. Differences in mean number of hypoxia symptoms between hypobaric and normobaric envi-ronments after 1 mm, but not at 3 and 4 mm, coupled with similar patterns in symptom frequencies, suggest that ground-level hypoxia training may be a sufficiently faithful surrogate for altitude chamber training.

Initiatives to address impaired driving have varied from harsher penalties to substance abuse treatment responses. This article reviews what works, what doesn't, what is inconclusive, and what looks promising for the future including traditional police responses such as sobriety checkpoints and vehicle or license sanctions. Victim Impact Panels and other more innovative initiatives have mixed reviews. Knowing that severity of sentences does not affect long term change, the criminal justice system has initiated robust programs that look promising. Courts are using new technologies and pharmacological responses to monitor offenders and reduce recidivism. Over the past ten years. Driving While Impaired (DWI) courts have sprung up throughout the United States and look to be an important part of the goal of reduced impaired driving and resulting crashes.

Fourteen field-produced mixtures at various traffic levels and aggregate sizes were evaluated and compared to those of field rutting. These mixtures were collected from job sites and compacted with a Superpave gyratory compactor to imitate the common air void level used in Mich., which is 7%. Dynamic modulus E* was measured at temperatures ranging from -5 to 39.2°C and frequencies ranging from 0.1 to 25 Hz. The results show that the dynamic modulus values increased when the designed traffic level for HMA mixtures increased. The field rutting performance was evaluated based on theoretical pavement rutting life index. Two parameters, |E*| and |E*|/sin(φ), were compared to the theoretical pavement rutting index. Based upon the preliminary study, it was found that E* was a suitable parameter in comparing the field and laboratory performance. Preliminary |E*| criteria for Mich. were prepared based upon the contractor's warranty criteria consisting of the theoretical pavement rutting life index, and the collected traffic survey data. In addition, sigmoidal master curves were constructed using all minimum |E*| data in order to meet the practitioners' needs.

Therefore, decision-makers and stakeholders are seeking policies, technologies, and operational procedures that balance environmental and economic interests. The main objective of this paper is to address shortcomings in current decision-making practices for aviation environmental policies. We review knowledge of the noise, air quality, and climate impacts of aviation, and demonstrate how including environmental impact assessment and quantifying uncertainties can enable a more comprehensive evaluation of aviation environmental policies. A comparison is presented between the cost-effectiveness analysis currently used for aviation environmental policy decision-making and an illustrative cost–benefit analysis. We focus on assessing a subset of the engine NO X emissions certification stringency options considered at the eighth meeting of the International Civil Aviation Organization’s Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection. The FAA Aviation environmental Portfolio Management Tool (APMT) is employed to conduct the policy assessments. We show that different conclusions may be drawn about the same policy options depending on whether benefits and interdependencies are estimated in terms of health and welfare impacts versus changes in NO X emissions inventories as is the typical practice. We also show that these conclusions are sensitive to a variety of modeling uncertainties. While our more comprehensive analysis makes the best policy option less clear, it represents a more accurate characterization of the scientific and economic uncertainties underlying impacts and the policy choices.

The kinetic model was developed to extend experimental physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models for arterial blood concentration of halocarbons, obtained from constant concentration exposure of dogs to time-varying exposure conditions for humans. In the present work, the simplified kinetic model was calibrated using published PBPK-derived arterial concentration histories for constant concentration exposure to several common fire-extinguishing agents. The calibrated kinetic model was then used to predict the blood concentration histories of humans exposed to time-varying concentrations of these fire-extinguishing agents in ventilated compartments and the results were compared with PBPK-derived data for the agents. It was found that the properly calibrated kinetic model predicts human arterial blood concentration histories for time-varying exposures as well as the PBPK models. Consequently, the kinetic model represents an economical methodology for calculating safe human exposure limits for time-varying concentrations of gaseous halocarbon fire-extinguishing agents when only PBPK-derived human arterial blood concentration histories for constant exposure conditions are available.

AB - This study examines pilots’ ability to join (or rejoin) a flight that is already in progress. These situations naturally arise when pilots work in shifts or are removed from active participation due to distraction or complacency. Twelve pilots assumed control of an airplane in the midst of two instrument approaches and were asked to fly the remainder of the approach and missed approach procedure. During one approach, pilots were given a two-minute period to look about, review the instrument approach procedure, and prepare themselves to take over the controls. During a second approach, pilots were given no time to prepare, handed the approach procedure, and asked to assume control of the airplane immediately. As a control, pilots also completed a third approach and missed approach during which they flew continuously, without interruption. Surprisingly, there were no differences in the number of errors committed by pilots in any of the three conditions. Pilots who were given no time to prepare reported significantly higher levels of workload, but there was no difference in reported workload when pilots had time to prepare and when they flew continuously. Pilots who flew continuously reported comparatively greater awareness, but these differences narrowed over time when pilots had two minutes of preparatory time. The results encourage further study of the pilot-into-the-loop problem and the development of aids to support pilots more effectively in situations in which participation is intermittent.

AB - This research focuses on the perceptions of men and women pilots towards advanced cockpit systems in general aviation. The research used a mixed method approach based on an electronic survey. Multiple-choice questions provided quantitative data, and the qualitative data was drawn from the free comments participants wrote at the end of the survey. The results indicate, as a community of users, both men and women pilots generally have positive perceptions of advanced cockpit systems. Results from the quantitative analyses indicate that men preferred to use advanced cockpit systems significantly more than females. Females also tended to be more concerned about not losing their piloting skills and being dependent on these systems more than men. Qualitative analyses supported these findings. The analyses suggested that although both males and females were positive and had adopted the new technology, the reasons underlying the use was quite different for men and women.

It develops over time where operators adjust procedures and workflows to suit their needs, most of the times with the intent to enhance operations. Where loosely coupled players have to interact, practical drift can cause severe accidents and adverse consequences leading to major challenges for high reliability organizations. It can be seen as a general vulnerability of organizations and a threat to their overall safety. Countermeasures to directly address practical drift are difficult because drift is considered as one symptom of deeper problems within a system (Snook, 2000). In concordance with approaches like ICAO Doc 9859 (ICAO, 2009), we suggest that practical drift can be addressed directly by reactive, preventive, and predictive strategies.

AB - Today’s 24/7 operations have produced a number of well-documented fatigue-related consequences (e.g., on-the-job injuries, workplace accidents, morale issues). In the current effort, a unique strategy was applied to identify key attributes of an effective fatigue countermeasure-training program. Fatigue countermeasure programs were reviewed and content was analyzed to identify critical dimensions across industry programs. The results of the content analysis provide a recommended outline for fatigue countermeasure training programs. The subsequent personal and organizational benefits of fatigue countermeasure training are also discussed.

In the current study, a model of burning of two widely-used charring and intumescing polymers, bisphenol A polycarbonate and poly(vinyl chloride), was developed and validated. The modeling was performed using a flexible computational framework called ThermaKin, which had been developed in our laboratory. ThermaKin solves time-resolved energy and mass conservation equations describing a one-dimensional material object subjected to external heat. Most of the model parameters were obtained from direct property measurements. The model was validated against the results of cone calorimetry experiments performed under a broad range of conditions. Potential sources of uncertainties in the model parameterization were analyzed.

Currently, vapor dispersion model calculations in the 49 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 193 as well as Standard 59A of the National Fire Protection Association (2001 edition) reduce the lower flammability limit (LFL) of methane in air by a safety factor of two (to 50% LFL) to ensure that flammable vapors do not extend beyond an LNG facility’s property line during an LNG spill. Yet, neither document explicitly states the additional distance or the additional confidence level this existing safety standard creates to separate the public from LNG vapors at 100 percent LFL within the facility vs. 50 percent LFL at the facility property line. Although researchers have successfully validated how vapor dispersion models calculate conservative buffer (exclusion) zones, their collective work did not readily explain to the general public the inherent margins of safety in these models. Havens and Spicer developed correlations to demonstrate how well DEGADIS 2 [2] DEGADIS is a dense gas, vapor dispersion model that was developed in collaboration with the Gas Research Institute and the University of Arkansas. The United States Department of Transportation adopted DEGADIS in its LNG facility siting regulations within Part 193 of the 49 Code of Federal Regulations. predictions compared with field testing measurements in the late 80s (). Their research also confirmed that peak gas concentrations exceeded time averaged measurements during some field trials as well as DEGADIS predictions. Then explained how several vapor dispersion models could be compared by calculating geometric mean bias and geometric variance and shared these validation results with the public. The works of the Havens and Hanna teams were also influential in explaining why the maximum concentration of methane in air at the property limits of an LNG facility should be 50 percent of its lower flammability limit during an LNG spill. Eleven years later, Chang and Hanna discussed how the relationships between fractional bias, geometric mean bias, geometric variance, and normalized mean square error could explain vapor dispersion model over and under prediction (). Despite these successful efforts, there has been reluctance to embrace vapor dispersion model results, because exclusion zones are not described as creating margins of safety (i.e. additional separation distance) or higher confidence levels (i.e. a likelihood of being correct) that protect the public. This paper proposes an improved performance metric to evaluate the validity of vapor dispersion models and a statistical methodology to determine the confidence level and the inherent margin of safety in calculating vapor dispersion exclusion zones. Descriptions of the new metric and methodology are presented in this document for the DEGADIS vapor dispersion model, together with example calculations.

The use and management of OSVs in the parks is an issue because of potential environmental impacts and because of actions by environmental, recreational, and commercial groups. The U.S. Department of Transportation, Research and Innovative Technology Administration, John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (the Volpe Center) supported the NPS by modeling the acoustical environment in the parks associated with potential modeling alternatives as well as current and historical conditions. The modeling considered a number of alternatives for inclusion in the NPS's winter use plans. These alternatives affect the type and number of OSVs that are allowed to operate in the parks and where they are allowed to travel. The acoustical modeling was performed by using the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Integrated Noise Model (INM), adapted for use with OSVs. INM adaptation included the development of an over-ground sound propagation model to account for propagation over snow-covered terrain. The Volpe Center also developed a new OSV noise database, which defined OSV noise as a function of speed and source-to-receiver distance, based on previously published OSV acoustical studies and winter 2005-2006 measurements. Vehicle types modeled included two- and four-stroke snowmobiles as well as two- and four-track snowcoaches.

Using the 2001 NHTS, we produced small area estimates (SAEs) of the percentage of persons among four age groups (17 or younger, 18-39, 40-54, and 55 or older) having high daily person-miles of travel (more than 87.5 miles a day, which is the 90th percentile for daily person-miles traveled) and associated prediction intervals for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The survey weighted hierarchical Bayes (Folsom et al., Proc of the Sect on Surv Res Methods of the Am Stat Assoc 371-375, 1999) small area estimation (SAE) methodology was used to produce state-level SAEs. This paper describes the methodology and shows that SAE can be an effective technique for producing reliable state-level estimates from large, national surveys like the NHTS. In particular, the prediction interval relative widths for SAEs were, on average, 31-48% narrower than the corresponding design-based confidence interval widths, whereas for small states the reduction was around 47-63%.

AB - In an effort to determine the information needs of tower air traffic controllers, instructors from the Federal Aviation Administration's Academy in Oklahoma City were asked to control traffic in a high-fidelity tower cab simulator. Information requests were made apparent by eliminating access to standard tower information sources. Instead, controllers were required to ask for precisely the information they needed during the scenarios. The information requests were classified using an elaboration of Zwaan and Radvansky's (1998) dimensions of situation models. The vast majority of requests were about three of the dimensions originally developed for reading comprehension: the protagonist, intentionality, and space. The information requests were also classified into 28 operational categories (e.g., aircraft identification, destination). From these results, the data were summarized, not just statistically, but by the creation of display-hypotheses. The display-hypotheses were organized according to the situation-model dimensions. Controllers preferred data blocks organized by the situation-model principle over those that violated this organization. The summary display-hypotheses were quite simple and accounted for the vast majority of the information requests controllers made. The display-hypotheses accounted for the information needs of controllers during routine as well as off-nominal events.

AB - This study evaluated a device that prevents drivers from shifting vehicles into gear for up to 8 s unless seat belts are buckled. Participants were 101 commercial drivers who operated vans, pickups, or other light trucks from the U.S. and Canada. The driver could escape or avoid the delay by fastening his or her seat belt before shifting out of park. Unbelted participants experienced either a constant delay (8 s) or a variable delay (M = 8 s), A 16-s delay was introduced for those U.S. drivers who did not show significant improvement. Seat belt use increased from 48% to 67% (a 40% increase) for U.S. drivers and from 54% to 74% (a 37% increase) for Canadian drivers. The fixed delay was more effective for U.S. drivers than the variable delay, but there was no difference between these two delay schedules for Canadian drivers. After the driver fastened his or her seat belt, it tended to remain fastened for the duration of the trip.

The emissions products, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, sulfur compounds, and particulate matter, are not emitted uniformly over the Earth, so understanding the temporal and spatial distributions is important for modeling aviation's climate impacts. Global commercial aircraft emission data for 2004 and 2006, provided by the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, were computed using the Federal Aviation Administration's Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT). Continuous improvement in methodologies, including changes in AEDT's horizontal track methodologies, and an increase in availability of data make some differences between the 2004 and 2006 inventories incomparable. Furthermore, the 2004 inventory contained a significant over-count due to an imperfect data merge and daylight savings error. As a result, the 2006 emissions inventory is considered more representative of actual flight activity. Here, we analyze both 2004 and 2006 emissions, focusing on the latter, and provide corrected totals for 2004. Analysis of 2006 flight data shows that 92.5% of fuel was burned in the Northern Hemisphere, 69.0% between 30N and 60N latitudes, and 74.6% was burned above 7 km. This activity led to 162.25 Tg of carbon from CO2 emitted glob ally in 2006, more than half over three regions: the United States (25.5%), Europe (14.6), and East Asia (11.1). Despite receiving less than one percent of global emissions, the Arctic receives a uniformly dispersed concentration of emissions with 95.2% released at altitude where they have longer residence time than surface emissions. Finally, 85.2% of all flights by number in 2006 were short-haul missions, yet those flights were responsible for only 39.7% of total carbon from CO2. The following is a summary of these data which illustrates the global and regional aviation emissions footprints for 2004 and 2006, and provides temporal and spatial distribution statistics.

AB - Severe-to-fatal head injuries in motor vehicle environments were analyzed using the United States Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network database for the years 1997–2006. Medical evaluations included details and photographs of injury, and on-scene, trauma bay, emergency room, intensive care unit, radiological, operating room, in-patient, and rehabilitation records. Data were synthesized on a case-by-case basis. X-rays, computed tomography scans, and magnetic resonance images were reviewed along with field evaluations of scene and photographs for the analyses of brain injuries and skull fractures. Injuries to the parenchyma, arteries, brainstem, cerebellum, cerebrum, and loss of consciousness were included. In addition to the analyses of severe-to-fatal (AIS4+) injuries, cervical spine, face, and scalp trauma were used to determine the potential for head contact. Fatalities and survivors were compared using nonparametric tests and confidence intervals for medians. Results were categorized based on the mode of impact with a focus on head contact. Out of the 3178 medical cases and 169 occupants sustaining head injuries, 132 adults were in frontal (54), side (75), and rear (3) crashes. Head contact locations are presented for each mode. A majority of cases clustered around the mid-size anthropometry and normal body mass index (BMI). Injuries occurred at change in velocities (ΔV) representative of US regulations. Statistically significant differences in ΔV between fatalities and survivors were found for side but not for frontal impacts. Independent of the impact mode and survivorship, contact locations were found to be superior to the center of gravity of the head, suggesting a greater role for angular than translational head kinematics. However, contact locations were biased to the impact mode: anterior aspects of the frontal bone and face were involved in frontal impacts while temporal–parietal regions were involved in side impacts. Because head injuries occur at regulatory ΔV in modern vehicles and angular accelerations are not directly incorporated in crashworthiness standards, these findings from the largest dataset in literature, offer a field-based rationale for including rotational kinematics in injury assessments. In addition, it may be necessary to develop injury criteria and evaluate dummy biofidelity based on contact locations as this parameter depended on the impact mode. The current field-based analysis has identified the importance of both angular acceleration and contact location in head injury assessment and mitigation.

JO - Information Knowledge Systems Management JF - Information Knowledge Systems Management Y1 - 2010/06// VL - 9 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 15 PB - IOS Press SN - 13891995 AB - Philosophers have studied paradoxes for millennia. The term paradox is appearing increasingly outside of philosophy, and researchers seek to understand them in common situations. By understanding these phenomena, systems engineers may develop better strategies to deal with them when encountered in business or projects. However, what is meant by the term systems paradox and are there different types? Towards this goal, this paper will present definitions of systems from systems science and paradox from philosophy in a quest to define systems paradox. A paradox that impacts some objective of a system is designated a systems paradox. Then a typology of systems paradoxes will be proposed and described using set theory. Various examples provide a demonstration of the typology.

AB - Recent accidents and incidents in regional airline operations suggest that pilot burnout and fatigue may be contributing factors that warrant further investigation and remediation. In this exploratory study, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-GS) and an environmental factors survey were administered to a sample of 248 regional airline pilots. The MBI-GS is a 22-question, Likert-scaled instrument that measures three subscales of burnout: exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy. Findings from the survey instruments suggest that moderate levels of burnout currently exist within the sample population. In addition, findings suggest a relationship between elevated regional airline pilot exhaustion levels and a perception of inappropriate management pressure to make on time goals. These findings have implications for regional airline pilot job satisfaction as well as training curricula. As pilots’ levels of stress and burnout increase, safe and efficient air travel may be compromised. It is therefore important to study these detractors further and develop appropriate interventions.

The types of automation examined included missprone (MP) and false-alarm prone (FP) decision support tools (DSTs). The a-b signal detection theory model served as the framework for measuring decision-making accuracy (a) and bias (b). Results showed differential effects of LAT on a depending on the type of automation. (a) Participants were greater as a function of LAT when they interacted with the FP DST. Results showed differential effects of the type of automation depending on the type of task. (b) Participants were higher when they interacted with the MP DST while they performed the FP task. These findings had important theoretical implications for decision-making models and practical applications to the design of DSTs for aviation and UAS operations.

AB - The 2010 Pilot Source Study, commissioned to research the success of pilots in initial training for Part 121 operations, analyzed the training performance of 2,156 new-hire pilots in the years 2005-2009. Six regional airlines provided data that was mined from human resource and pilot training files. Five university researchers independently analyzed the data and integrated their results. The study expressed success in terms of fewer extra training events and fewer non-completions in regional airline training. Statistically, the best performing pilots were those who had flight instructor certificates, graduated from collegiate accredited flight programs, received advanced (post-Private) pilot training in college, graduated with collegiate aviation degrees (any aviation discipline), and had between 500 and 1,000 pre-employment flight hours. Pilot source characteristics that had no significance in regional airline pilot training success were: having a non-aviation college degree and having prior corporate pilot or airline pilot experience.

AB - The authors discuss the need for a comprehensive, integrative, systematic, and multi-component peer support program for aviation personnel. They also provide an overview of the basic principles and practices of one such program known as Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM). Successful peer support programs, modeled on the principles of CISM, have been instituted in employee classifications within the high-risk aviation field. Aviation is a high-risk organization because employees experience considerable physical and psychological threats in their work. A CISM program now serves air traffic controllers, pilots, flight attendants, and ground personnel. The article presents the basic elements of peer support teams serving high-risk organizations. Aviation is also a High Reliability Organization (HRO); an organization expected to function consistently and safely. Organized and well-trained CISM teams can help a high risk/high reliability organization become a high resiliency organization. The article details the core services provided by such teams and suggests the types and level of training necessary for the peer support personnel who serve on CISM teams within the aviation industries.

AB - In an effort to reduce the accident rate in General Aviation, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has developed a new training program called FAA/Industry Training Standards (FITS). The FITS program began in 2001 and represented the aviation industry, academia, and the FAA. FITS philosophy is based on the idea that most general aviation accidents can be attributed to deficiencies in three key areas; aeronautical decision-making, risk management, and situational awareness. The FITS program is leading an effort to change current flight training processes to embrace technology and target the pilot’s decision-making skills with each training curriculum. It is centered on three key elements: scenario-based training, single pilot resource management, and learner-centered grading. FITS emphasizes the ultimate goal of increasing safety on all levels of performance and teaches the pilot much earlier in training to develop decision making skills. This paper examines the development, components, application, and outcomes of the FITS program.

AB - Learning in the high reliability domain has vital importance where public safety is dependant on the expertise and proficiency of practitioners. Air traffic control is one example of work that may be characterized as a technologically complex, high stress, real-time environment with little margin for error. This study investigates learning in the air traffic control workplace in the context of workplace changes, which required all experienced controllers to act as instructors of trainee controllers. Initially prescribed as a strategy to enhance organizational flexibility and to increase workplace efficiency, the initiative was shown to have unintended effects. The results reported show how an incidental and unintended reciprocal learning opportunity (through engaging in on-the-job-training) enriches the reflective learning process for instructors. Organizational strategies, which serve to refresh the expertise of practitioners while addressing the needs of workplace training, offer wide-ranging benefits in the high reliability domain where reflective practices are necessarily limited by the intensity and immediacy of the work.

AB - Although air transport upset recovery training is typically simulator-based, there is little evidence to suggest that such training actually improves a pilot’s ability to recovery an actual airplane from a serious upset. We report on a research experiment to evaluate simulator-based upset recovery training transfer. Participants were trained in upset recovery maneuvering using low-cost desktop flight simulation, and then subjected to serious in-flight upsets in a general aviation aerobatic airplane. Their performance in upset-recovery maneuvering was compared with the performance of untrained pilots subjected to the same upsets. Statistical analysis of data collected during flight testing suggests that simulator-based training combined with classroom instruction improves a pilot’s ability to recover an airplane from an upset. We summarize prior related research, describe the experiment, analyze and interpret flight-test data, and explain the implications of our research with respect to federally mandated upset recovery training requirements.

AB - This study examined whether brief video weather training products can significantly affect pilot weather knowledge and flight behavior in the face of potential instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). Fifty general aviation (GA) pilots comprised three groups. In Phase 1, two groups received a 90-minute video weather training product while one served as control. Weather knowledge was tested pre-and post-video. All pilots then flew a flight simulator mission featuring rising terrain with descending cloud bases. Three months later, pilots returned for a Phase 2 knowledge retest and to fly a similar mission. After Phase 1, a 3-variable logistic regression model significantly predicted 83.3% of flight completions. However, in Phase 2, this model was non-significant and little residual effect of video training was evident for weather knowledge, flight behavior, or flight safety. We conclude that weather training requires systematic lengthy study and practice.

Faculty at Purdue University’s Department of Aviation Technology, Aeronautical Engineering Technology (AET) program incorporated additional outcomes of forward thinking design and innovative research considerations into a traditional design-test-build project involving two senior level courses. Using a collaborative design approach, two AET classes were chartered to produce a component for actual use within aircraft maintenance laboratories. Additionally, students were challenged to focus on extended research goals and utility beyond just production of the component itself. As a result, student teams collaboratively produced a robust, real-use tool that is being used in other ‘Hangar of the Future’ research and development activities within the department. Some of those same students are now assisting in larger next generation research activities using this same component.

AB - The diminutive amount of research on flight attendant/pilot communication has shown gaps that impede effective communication and coordination between crew-members. The process of information exchange between flight attendants and pilots has been further complicated due to physical and procedural changes since September 11, 2001. Thus, the effectiveness of typical intra-crew communication and coordination has areas that need improvements and in many cases are cited as the causation factor in a review of accidents and incidents. This study examines the effectiveness of current communication and coordination between flight attendants and pilots as well as crew resource management (CRM) programs. This study used a self-reporting survey to question 112 pilots and 230 flight attendants worldwide. Results indicate the dire need for improved flight attendant/pilot communication, coordination, and several recommendations for improvements are discussed.

AB - Increasing concern over the effects of moderate altitude exposure on aircrew performance in unpressurized aircraft recently prompted efforts to formulate international standards for the use of supplementary oxygen. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of low to moderate levels of hypoxia on the cognitive performance of aircrew. Fifty participants were administered 45-minute exposures at altitudes of sea level, 8000, 10,000, 12,000 and 14,000 ft. Altitudes were simulated using the Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device. Participants completed the CogScreen®-Hypoxia Edition (CogScreen®-HE) to measure cognitive performance. Saturation of peripheral oxygen showed that although the participants did become hypoxic (p < .001), there was no statistically significant change in reaction time (p = .781), accuracy (p = .152), or throughput (p = .967) with increasing altitude. The results indicate that healthy individuals do not experience significant cognitive deficit, as measured by the CogScreen®-HE, when exposed to moderate levels of hypoxia at or below 14,000 ft.

AB - The Air Traffic Selection and Training (AT-SAT) test battery is an aptitude test that was developed as the selection tool for the Federal Aviation Administration Air Traffic Control Specialists (ATCSs). Before operational use, however, concerns were raised about the low scores of incumbent ATCS personnel (who participated in the initial research) and score differences between groups, which could result in adverse impact (possible unfair discrimination). To address these concerns, the subscores of the AT-SAT were reweighted and the constant was changed to yield a new total score. This study found that the new weighting formula has benefited all groups and is likely to reduce the potential of adverse impact.

AB - Ten empirical models of travel behavior are used to measure the variability of structural equation model goodness-of-fit as a function of sample size, multivariate kurtosis, and estimation technique. The estimation techniques are maximum likelihood, asymptotic distribution free, bootstrapping, and the Mplus approach. The results highlight the divergence of these techniques when sample sizes are small and/or multivariate kurtosis high. Recommendations include using multiple estimation techniques and, when sample sizes are large, sampling the data and reestimating the models to test both the robustness of the specifications and to quantify, to some extent, the large sample bias inherent in the χ² test statistic.

This distribution was parameterized to account for the effect of subject stature, which was the only subject characteristic found to significantly affect hip fracture force (X 2(1)=6.03, p=0.014). The distribution was further parameterized to account for the effects of hip flexion and abduction from a standard driving posture on hip fracture force using relationships between mean hip fracture force and hip flexion/abduction reported in the literature. The resulting parametric distribution was used to define relationships between force applied to the hip and the risk of hip fracture for the statures associated with the small female, midsize male, and large male crash-test dummies, thus allowing these dummies to assess hip fracture/dislocation risk in frontal crashes, provided that such dummies are sufficiently biofidelic. For the midsize male crash test dummy, a 50% risk of hip fracture was associated with a force of 6.00kN. For the small female and large male dummies, a 50% risk of hip fracture was associated with forces of 4.46 and 6.73kN, respectively.

JO - International Journal of Sustainable Development & World Ecology JF - International Journal of Sustainable Development & World Ecology Y1 - 2010/02// VL - 17 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 48 EP - 56 SN - 17452627 AB - There are a number of established, scientifically supported metrics of sustainability. Many of the metrics are data-intensive and require extensive effort to collect data and compute the metrics. Moreover, individual metrics do not capture all aspects of a system that are relevant to sustainability. A pilot project was initiated to create an approach to measure, monitor, and maintain prosperity and environmental quality of a regional system. The goal was to produce a straightforward, inexpensive methodology that is simple to use and interpret. This requires historical data be readily accessible, metrics must be applicable to the relevant scale, and results must meet the needs of decision-makers. Because sustainability is a multidimensional concept, the research group consisted of a multidisciplinary team that identified the major components of an environmental system. We selected metrics to capture the multidimensionality of sustainability in environmental systems and included: (1) emergy to capture the quality-normalized flow of energy through the system; (2) ecological footprint to capture the impact of humans on the system; (3) green net regional product to estimate human prosperity and well being within the system; and (4) Fisher information to capture the dynamic order of the system. We were able to compute metrics for a test geographic region using existing datasets. Preliminary analysis indicates that each metric reveals a somewhat different trend. These preliminary findings support the idea that characterization of sustainability requires a multidisciplinary approach and demonstrate the need to measure multiple aspects of an environmental system.

The study generated fatigue-based stress severity factors for fastener joints at two different load transfer and mean stress levels. Fatigue tests on open-hole, filled-hole, and load transfer specimens were conducted at mean stress levels of 20.68 and 41.37 MPa, with varying stress ratios to achieve lives ranging between 103 and 106 cycles. The regression-based mean life curves were used to generate the fatigue-based correction factors for hole filling and bearing load transfer as a function of the maximum stress level. The fatigue life of load transfer specimens fell between those of the open-hole and filled-hole configurations. With increasing load transfer and mean stress levels, the fatigue life approached that of the open-hole case. In addition, at stress levels corresponding to fatigue lives in excess of 105 cycles, the failure modes of load transfer specimens transitioned from a net-section failure to a clamp-up-induced fretting failure occurring away from the fastener hole. The stress severity factor associated with the mean life of fastener joints and Hi-Lok filled-hole coupons increased with the maximum fatigue stress level. However, different trends were observed with respect to load transfer at the two mean stress levels used in the study.

Two types of noise limit are considered: a cumulative limit on total noise at an airport and a limit on noise per aircraft operation. Tighter noise limits, which reduce community exposure to noise, cause airlines to reduce flight frequency and traffic served, thus hurting consumers. A welfare analysis explores socially optimal noise regulation, taking into account the social cost of noise damage along with consumer surplus and airline profit.

AB - There has been relatively little research conducted to explain why diverse groups of employees often experience negative workplace events. Most studies of discrimination and harassment tend to limit their focus to one minority group at a time, and do not consider multiple forms of diversity—reflecting, for example, race, ethnicity, gender, disability, age, and sexual orientation. To rectify this oversight, in this chapter, we introduce the concept of 'multiple minority status' and propose that belonging to more than one minority group simultaneously—in other words, having multiple minority identities has a significant impact on the work experiences of minorities. Based on research suggesting that minority group members experience a host of negative physical, psychological, and job-related outcomes, we expect that being a multiple minority further increases the likelihood of experiencing these negative outcomes. We also consider the critical role that the organizational diversity climate can play in the workplace experiences of employees. Because of the challenges brought about by today's rapidly changing workforce, organizations need to focus on monitoring their climates for diversity. Unfortunately, while many companies are concerned with fostering a positive diversity climate within their organizations, there are few tools available for organizations to quickly and effectively diagnose their diversity climates. Thus, the second goal of this chapter is to present such a tool, which can provide a comprehensive assessment of the organizational diversity climate by considering gender, age, race/ethnicity, disability, and sexual orientation.

This tool is unusual in that its displays can be used as boundary objects, which are entities in which decontextualized information is presented in the same form to all participants in the collaboration. Through an analysis of the results of 2 years of field tests, this article discusses the benefits of this arrangement, particularly in comparison to alternative concepts for collaborative work displays, and identifies key aspects for the design of boundary object displays.

AB - Injury risk curves for the skeletal knee–thigh–hip (KTH) relate peak force applied to the anterior aspect of the flexed knee, the primary source of KTH injury in frontal motor-vehicle crashes, to the probability of skeletal KTH injury. Previous KTH injury risk curves have been developed from analyses of peak knee impact force data from studies where knees of whole cadavers were impacted. However, these risk curves either neglect the effects of occupant gender, stature, and mass on KTH fracture force, or account for them using scaling factors derived from dimensional analysis without empirical support. A large amount of experimental data on the knee-impact forces associated with KTH fracture are now available, making it possible to estimate the effects of subject characteristics on skeletal KTH injury risk by statistically analyzing empirical data. Eleven studies were identified in the biomechanical literature in which the flexed knees of whole cadavers were impacted. From these, peak knee-impact force data and the associated subject characteristics were reanalyzed using survival analysis with a lognormal distribution. Results of this analysis indicate that the relationship between peak knee-impact force and the probability of KTH fracture is a function of age, total body mass, and whether the surface that loads the knee is rigid. Comparisons between injury risk curves for the midsize adult male and small adult female crash test dummies defined in previous studies and new risk curves for these sizes of occupants developed in this study suggest that previous injury risk curves generally overestimate the likelihood of KTH fracture at a given peak knee-impact force. Future work should focus on defining the relationships between impact force at the human knee and peak axial compressive forces measured by load cells in the crash test dummy KTH complex so that these new risk curves can be used with ATDs.

Examining aggregate monthly data for US domestic air travel, we have identified causal relationships among fare, complaints, and levels of delay. An analytical framework is proposed that formalizes these relationships in an integrated manner. This integrated framework is then estimated in a set of simultaneous equations by using 118months of data from January 1997 to October 2006. Results show that complaints are influenced by levels of delays. However, complaints are positively influenced by average yield. These findings lead us to support the central hypothesis that complaints are responsive to levels of delays, but they tend to vary according to fare. That is, air travelers are less likely to complain in return for lower fares, even when faced with the same or even higher levels of delays. These findings have important policy implications, including the passengers’ bill of rights and regulator’s choice between market and operational performances.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires pilots to report all adverse legal actions involving their use of ethanol and/or other drugs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate fatal civil aviation accidents between the years 2000 and 2007 in which ethanol was present in the pilot and the pilot had a record of previous drug and/or alcohol offenses. Methods: Case histories and accident information for the period under study were obtained from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Toxicological information was obtained from the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute's Forensic Toxicology Research Laboratory. Results: During the examined period 215 of the 2391 pilot specimens received for toxicological analysis had documented alcohol or drug related offenses. Of the 215 pilot specimens received, 23 showed evidence of ethanol consumption prior to the fatal incident and 16 of those had ethanol concentrations above the FAA's legal limit of 40 mg · dl-1. Discussion: These results confirm earlier reports that pilots with previous alcohol and/or drug offenses are more likely than others to engage in repeated substance abuse in association with flying with resultant fatal accidents. These findings support the NTSB's recommendation that the FAA implement more thorough verification of alcohol and drug offenses as a means of identifying pilots at increased risk of causing accidents.

AB - A systematic review was conducted to determine the effectiveness and economic efficiency of multicomponent programs with community mobilization for reducing alcohol-impaired driving. The review was conducted for the Guide to Community Preventive Services (Community Guide). Six studies of programs qualified for the review. Programs addressed a wide range of alcohol-related concerns in addition to alcohol-impaired driving. The programs used various crash-related outcomes to measure their effectiveness. Two studies examined fatal crashes and reported declines of 9% and 42%; one study examined injury crashes and reported a decline of 10%; another study examined crashes among young drivers aged 16–20 years and reported a decline of 45%; and one study examined single-vehicle late-night and weekend crashes among young male drivers and reported no change. The sixth study examined injury crashes among underage drivers and reported small net reductions. Because the actual numbers of crashes were not reported, percentage change could not be calculated. According to Community Guide rules of evidence, the studies reviewed here provided strong evidence that carefully planned, well-executed multicomponent programs, when implemented in conjunction with community mobilization efforts, are effective in reducing alcohol-related crashes. Three studies reported economic evidence that suggests that such programs produce cost savings. The multicomponent programs generally included a combination of efforts to limit access to alcohol (particularly among youth), responsible beverage service training, sobriety checkpoints or other well-defined enforcement efforts, public education, and media advocacy designed to gain the support of both policymakers and the general public for reducing alcohol-impaired driving.

Prior research is mixed as to the potential benefits and/or shortcomings of placing the measurement microphone outside versus inside the ear canal. This study captured and compared spectral attenuation data at three different microphone locations: in the concha of the outer ear, in the ear canal-shallow, and in the ear canal-deep (with a probe tube microphone positioned near the tympanic membrane), using human test participants across five active noise reduction (ANR) headphones of differing design. ANR headphones were used because this paper is an excerpt of a larger research effort designed to assess attenuation measurement methods and instrumentation. Research goals were to determine whether spectral sound pressure levels (SPL) differed significantly at the three microphone locations tested and whether any changes in frequency significantly affected SPL measured at each location; the results showed small, but statistically significant differences between microphone locations, but with frequency-specificity. The results provide assistance to practitioners in determining where to place measurement microphones to best suit their particular needs when using MIRE for hearing protector attenuation testing.

It is unavoidable for the cylinders to experience temperature variation and significant thermal input during service. The maximum failure pressure that the cylinder can sustain is affected due to the dependence of composite material properties on temperature and complexity of cylinder design. Most of the analysis reported for high-pressure composite cylinders is based on simplifying assumptions and does not account for complexities like thermo-mechanical behavior and temperature dependent material properties. In the present work, a comprehensive finite element simulation tool for the design of hydrogen storage cylinder system is developed. The structural response of the cylinder is analyzed using laminated shell theory accounting for transverse shear deformation and geometric nonlinearity. A composite failure model is used to evaluate the failure pressure under various thermo-mechanical loadings. A back-propagation neural network (NNk) model is developed to predict the maximum failure pressure using the analysis results. The failure pressures predicted from NNk model are compared with those from test cases. The developed NNk model is capable of predicting the failure pressure for any given loading condition.

Public policies have at time been deployed to require or reward environmental performance in the sale of transportation-related products in the marketplace. For example, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued both proposed and final fuel economy rules intended to maximize net benefits through the use of marginal cost-benefit analysis. This paper explores how an analogous benefit-maximizing rule could be structured to encourage adoption of PAYDAYS insurance. The key to designing such a benefit-maximizing rule is to: estimate the net benefits of every mile not driven; estimate the reduction in mileage that would result from PAYDAYS insurance; and, apply these estimates to the calculation of net benefits of every PAYDAYS-insured mile. A mechanism by which the industry itself funds the incentive payments is described, as are alternatives.

Existing public models used for computing terminal-area airplane fuel consumption have been shown to have substantial errors, potentially leading to erroneous policy and investment decisions. The method of modeling fuel consumption proposed in this paper was developed using data from a major airplane manufacturer. When compared with airline performance/operational data, this proposed method has been shown to accurately predict fuel consumption in the terminal area. The proposed method uses airplane performance data from publicly available environmental models supported by the Federal Aviation Administration and others. The proposed method has sufficient generality to protect the proprietary interests of the manufacturer, while still having adequate fidelity to analyze low-speed airplane operations in the terminal area. This improved methodology will enable more informed decisions by policy-makers seeking to account for the effects of fuel consumption and airplane emissions on plans for future airspace and airport designs.

The international standard for calculating fuel burn and emissions produced is the landing and takeoff cycle of the International Civil Aviation Organization and forms the basis for many emission inventory models and emission charging schemes at airports. The acquisition of real-time aircraft flight data recorder information provided a unique opportunity to compare actual operational fuel flows and times in mode to the International Civil Aviation Organization standard. For departures, there is tremendous variety in fuel flow patterns, rates of fuel flow, and times in mode. Only 67% of the flights analyzed show a classic transition from takeoff to climbout. Most of the remaining flights showed essentially flat-line fuel flow profiles. All aircraft showed some fuel flow rates indicative of reduced-thrust departures. The certificated values for departure fuel burn matched favorably to the real-time totals for four-engine aircraft. However, for the twin-engine aircraft in this study, total departure fuel burn was grossly overpredicted, due to shorter observed departure times in mode. The average approach times in mode were slightly higher than the International Civil Aviation Organization norm, but approach fuel flow rates were significantly lower, yielding lower total fuel burn values. In general, total fuel burn for both departures and arrivals is overestimated by the International Civil Aviation Organization method.

New-start transit projects generally request federal funding assistance through the FTA. FTA funding commitments occur early in the project’s development, and as such the project is subject to significant risk, which has historically caused early estimates to be unreliable. To provide more reliable funding commitments and to better inform decision-makers, the FTA introduced risk-assessment requirements in 2002. Results from the earliest efforts indicated two areas for improvement: a more holistic method for risk assessment, and a better integration of risk management into standard project management practices. Although there are insufficient results, to date, to fully validate this new process, the purpose of this paper is to provide information on background and methodology to industry risk practitioners and researchers.

AB - Although a number of researchers have examined and demonstrated the unique relationships different types of leaders develop with their followers (Dansereau, F., Graen, G.B., & Haga, W.J. (1975). A vertical dyad linkage approach to leadership within formal organizations: A longitudinal investigation of the role making process. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance, 13, 46–78.; Dienesh & Liden, 1986; Mumford, 2006), relatively little is known regarding how outstanding leaders interact or work together (Hunter, Bedell-Avers, Mumford, 2009-this issue). Given the particular importance of such questions, especially when considering leaders who have the potential to influence national and worldwide developments, the intent of the present study was to examine the leader–leader exchange relationships of charismatic, ideological, and pragmatic leaders. Due to the difficulty associated with examining high-level leader–leader exchanges, a hybrid qualitative–quantitative approach was taken to assess the interactions of Frederick Douglas, W.E.B. Dubois, and Booker T. Washington—three high-level leaders who responded to the same crisis, in the same time period, in the same region of the world. The results provide preliminary evidence regarding the interactions of charismatic, ideological, and pragmatic leaders; in fact, they indicate that leaders interact in a manner consistent with their mental model.

The focus is on non-charring polymers, in particular — poly(methylmethacrylate), high-impact polystyrene, and high-density polyethylene. First, relevant properties of these materials were measured and/or obtained from the literature. Subsequently, the values of these properties were used to simulate gasification and cone calorimetry experiments, which were performed under a broad range of conditions. A comparison with the experimental results indicates that the model gives reasonably good predictions of the mass loss and heat release histories. It also predicts the evolution of temperature inside the material samples.

The purpose of the on-site survey was to help the National Park Service better understand the visitors of GSD; it was not intended for a travel cost model. Variables such as travel cost and income were estimated based on respondents’ Zip Codes. Following approaches found in the literature, a negative binomial model corrected for truncation and endogenous stratification fit the data the best. We estimate a recreational benefit of U.S. $89/visitor/year or U.S. $54/visitor/24-h recreational day (in 2002 U.S. $). Based on the approach presented here, there are other data sets for national parks, preserves, and battlefields where travel cost models could be estimated and used to support National Park Service management decisions.

The significant growth in travel that the US has experienced since the 1960's is a product of demographic and economic changes including increases in vehicle ownership, baby boomers and women entering the workforce, and dramatic growth in personal income. More recently however, data are painting a different picture. The economic slowdown, vehicle saturation, climate change, new immigrant population growth, and the aging population may be contributing to a slowing growth of travel demand in the US (3). Race and ethnicity do matter in terms of travel choices, needs, and options. Many factors contribute to the differences we see in patterns of travel within population segments. Using data from the US Census Bureau and the National Household Travel Survey Program, this paper examines the demographic characteristics of minority populations and the resulting differences in their travel behavior.

There has been a very recent decline in licensure rates for older US men, whereas those for older women have increased. Traffic fatality rates have decreased even though more people are licensed to drive and drive more. Older women tend to drive less and stop before men. Studies show, however, that if they drive longer, extended safer mobility could result.

JO - Journal of Public Works & Infrastructure JF - Journal of Public Works & Infrastructure Y1 - 2009/03// VL - 1 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 379 EP - 390 SN - 17550955 AB - The frequency of retiming traffic signals is largely resource-based and follows a process that has remained relatively unchanged for over 60 years. In 1989, the Institute of Traffic Engineers estimated that 75 per cent of the traffic signals in the USA were operating less than optimally. More recently, a grade of 'D' on the 2007 National Traffic Signal Report Card indicates that there is still much room for improvement. Outdated signal timing contributes to congestion, delay, air pollution and excess fuel consumption. Adaptive signal systems have been shown to significantly reduce delay, vehicle stops, fuel consumption and air pollution but have not been widely deployed due to the substantial capital investment required to deploy, operate and maintain these systems. In 2003, the Federal Highway Administration embarked on the development of Adaptive Control Software - Lite (ACS Lite) with the objective of providing a lowcost, widely deployable adaptive control system, capable of retrofitting to existing systems. This paper is intended for those transportation managers and practitioners with an interest in significantly improving the performance of traffic signals within their jurisdiction through proactive, performance-based traffic signal operation. The paper will present the development, functionality, infrastructure requirements and field test results associated with ACS Lite [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Public Works & Infrastructure is the property of Henry Stewart Publications LLP and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Faced with an economic slowdown and unprecedented increase in fuel costs, factors which were uncertain a priori, the projected effects of OAA have been dampened compared to previous projections. In this paper, a framework is offered that combines a parametric approach with uncertainty in demand estimation and forecasts. This framework is then used to generate probabilistic forecasts for U.S.-EU passenger traffic for the period of 2008-2015.

On a 6.4-km (4-mi) stretch of a 2-lane highway in Southern California, several asphalt pavement overlays are being examined. Acoustical, meteorological, and traffic data are collected in each pavement overlay section, where microphones are deployed at multiple distances and heights. Single vehicle pass-by events are recorded primarily for three vehicle types: automobiles, medium trucks, and heavy trucks. Data are analyzed to determine the noise benefit of each pavement as compared to the reference dense-graded asphalt pavement; this includes a modified Statistical Pass-By Index as well as average A-weighted maximum sound levels for each vehicle type. In addition, 1/3-octave band data are examined.

IHSDM checks existing or proposed two-lane highway designs against relevant design policy values and provides estimates of a design’s expected safety and operational performance. This paper describes efforts to apply IHSDM to two existing rural roadways (one an arterial and the other a collector) in Pennsylvania and to compare the crash prediction and speed profile results to observed speed and crash data for these same two roadway segments. When considering both case study roadways together, the use of site-specific crash history data, adjusted using the empirical Bayes procedure, and a county-level calibration factor, produced crash frequency predictions that most closely matched the observed crash frequencies. The design consistency module output on the arterial roadway closely matched the observed speeds. On the collector roadway, the predicted and observed speeds did not match closely, thus, underscoring the need to expand the design consistency module capabilities to consider low-speed, complex alignments.

AB - The inability to clearly define the term impaired professional contributes to the difficulty employee assistance programs experience assessing, evaluating, and recommending treatment. Historically, impairment was defined as an to deliver care, usually due to alcoholism, drug abuse or mental illness. The most reported common form is substance abuse. Today, the term impairment extends well beyond and incorporates any inability to perform one's job duties due to cognitive, emotional, or physical problems that can be due to, but not limited to, gambling, stress, internet abuse, burnout, sexual disorders, debilitating medical conditions, overwork, and interpersonal conflict.

As of 2005, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had no effective approach for strategically managing a weather event that has been very disruptive to the national aviation system--large-scale thunderstorms that block the major flight routes in the northeastern United States.

In this paper, we show how this team (1) developed and applied system-simulation models to quantify the extent of the traffic flow management problem and convey its magnitude to the FAA and to the aviation industry; (2) designed the Airspace Flow Program (AFP), a new approach to managing air traffic that could correct the problem within the limitations of a short development cycle and a change-resistant culture; (3) designed and developed an interactive simulation system that could be and was used to refine and perfect this concept prior to deployment by developing policies on the use of a decision support system; (4) engaged FAA and airline traffic management experts in a series of interactive exercises using the simulation system to develop the final software design, operational procedures, and decision rules for deployment and use; and (5) provided a clear and convincing postdeployment benefits assessment for the new traffic management approach. The deployment of this new capability was an enormous success that both the FAA and the airline community heralded widely. The postdeployment impact assessment showed benefits to the aircraft operators and the flying public of almost $190 million in 2006 and 2007, the first two years of use, compared to less than $5 million in design and development costs. Broader usage of AFPs and new applications for them show a projected 10-year benefit of approximately $2.8 billion.

U.S. aviation activity is forecasted to triple by 2025, while at the same time, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is evaluating stricter particulate matter (PM) standards on the basis of documented human health and welfare impacts. Stricter federal standards are expected to impede capacity and limit aviation growth if regulatory mandated emission reductions occur as for other non-aviation sources (i.e., automobiles, power plants, etc.). In addition, strong interest exists as to the role aviation emissions play in air quality and climate change issues. These reasons underpin the need to quantify and understand PM emissions from certified commercial aircraft engines, which has led to the need for a methodology to predict these emissions. Standardized sampling techniques to measure volatile and nonvolatile PM emissions from aircraft engines do not exist. As such, a first-order approximation (FOA) was derived to fill this need based on available information. FOA1.0 only allowed prediction of nonvolatile PM. FOA2.0 was a change to include volatile PM emissions on the basis of the ratio of nonvolatile to volatile emissions. Recent collaborative efforts by industry (manufacturers and airlines), research establishments, and regulators have begun to provide further insight into the estimation of the PM emissions. The resultant PM measurement datasets are being analyzed to refine sampling techniques and progress towards standardized PM measurements. These preliminary measurement datasets also support the continued refinement of the FOA methodology. FOA3.0 disaggregated the prediction techniques to allow for independent prediction of nonvolatile and volatile emissions on a more theoretical basis. The Committee for Aviation Environmental Protection of the International Civil Aviation Organization endorsed the use of FOA3.0 in February 2007. Further commitment was made to improve the FOA as new data become available, until such time the methodology is rendered obsolete by a fully validated database of PM emission indices for today's certified commercial fleet. This paper discusses related assumptions and derived equations for the FOA3.0 methodology used worldwide to estimate PM emissions from certified commercial aircraft engines within the vicinity of airports.

The models are estimated using data collected in 1998 from more than 1300 working commuters in the San Francisco Bay Area. A cross-model analysis reveals three robust relationships, namely: (1) myriad measures of travel amounts work together to affect perceptions; (2) perceptions are consistently important in shaping desires; and (3) affections have a positive relationship with desires. The second finding suggests that two individuals who travel the same objective amount may not have the same desire to reduce their travel: how much individuals perceive their travel to be is important. The third point argues that the degree to which travel is enjoyed is a key determinant of shaping desires to reduce travel: the more travel is enjoyed, the less the desire to reduce it.

AB - In 1991, 2001, and 2008 surveys were conducted to determine pilot perceptions of automated flight decks or 'glass cockpits.' Results from these similar surveys indicated that a number of factors identified remained the same. However, over time, some changes in perceptions were noted. The 2008 survey provided airline pilots the opportunity to write comments and express their ideas and concerns about aspects of the glass cockpit. This paper provides a qualitative analysis of their comments identified as a number of themes. Their perceptions of themes such as situational awareness, automation and technology, skills, stress, workload, and computer literacy are examined. Overall, the perceptions of the glass cockpit are positive. However, there remains an underlying caution concerning several aspects of piloting including perceived loss of manual flying skills, stress, and extreme workload resulting from the potential over-reliance and pervasiveness of computerized technology on the flight deck.

AB - The researcher examined how the introduction and application of text-based Controller- Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) technology will affect human performance in the single-pilot general aviation work environment. Instrument-rated pilots (N = 30) were tested on both a series of CPDLC text command tasks and a series of conventional voice command tasks in a simulated flight environment. Results revealed a statistically significant decrease in both errors in pilot recall/execution and response times in moving from the conventional voice ATC commands to the CPDLC text commands. Results lend support for a text-based communications technology that extends pilot’s working memory, thereby improving both accuracy and efficiency in performing flight tasks to complex commands.

AB - A novel concept to support air traffic controllers, the mobile horizontal radar display filter WHEELIE allows controllers to quickly select and change the requested flight level by scrolling an Operational Display System (ODS) mouse wheel. Aircraft on the selected flight level are graphically highlighted without masking other traffic. An experimental simulation study of human factors was conducted initially to investigate WHEELIE. A multimethod approach revealed reduced perceived mental workload as a consequence of using WHEELIE. The controllers who assessed WHEELIE pointed out the positive effects of the rapid perception of conflicts as well as the better overview of the respective flight level.

AB - The objectives of this study were to assess the effects of differing formats of forward- looking primary flight display (PFD; electronic attitude-direction indicator, full-color terrain, uniformly brown terrain) on general aviation (GA) pilot recoveries from unknown attitudes and to determine if recovery assistance embodied in the display could be useful. Total recovery times and control reversals were examined as indexes of performance for 40 GA pilots, and the recovery times were subjected to a comparative analysis using both a parametric difference analysis and an equivalence testing technique. Results suggest that for the specific conditions investigated, terrain- depicting PFDs supported performance that was equivalent to that observed with the standard attitude indicator. Equivalence testing is recommended for cases where it is desirable to determine if one device or system provides for performance that is equivalent to another.

AB - Ethical issues are being discussed more frequently in society today and, while most industries are taking steps to improve ethical decisions through education, aviation is lagging behind in both the understanding of ethical issues inherent to the industry and ethics education. In this study three groups of pilots (students, instructors, and faculty) at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University were examined in an effort to determine moral development level in terms of P score on the Defining Issues Test 2 (DIT2). It was hypothesized that differences would be found among the groups and that the moral development score would increase from students, through flight instructors to faculty. This was found to be the case. The instructor and student pilots scored lower than expected in the DIT2 questions and it is suggested that this may be due to a lack of ethics training in aviation curricula.

AB - As fiber optic technologies are gaining more widespread usage in aircraft, relevancy of educational instruction in this area has become important for students in avionics programs. The benefit to both the electronics technology and the aviation maintenance technologies student of learning these systems can be significant, especially for those going into networking, communications, corporate and transport airframe or general avionics maintenance. In order to incorporate the study of fiber optics into an existing avionics curriculum, a number of conditions had to be satisfied. Initially, an appropriate course needed to identified and adjusted to accommodate the additional material. Secondly a suitable source for the training material had to be examined. Finally the material needed to be packaged and integrated into the course curriculum. Ultimately, a suitable mini-course was chosen and the material successfully introduced into the Southern Illinois University avionics program. This paper examines the process of integrating fiber optics training into the avionics curriculum and comments on its methods and results.

AB - Previous research has determined that each generation has its own unique attitudes, work ethics, distinct, and preferred ways of managing and being managed. Today’s workplace represents the largest diversity of generations than any other time in history. The examination of generational differences among workers is a critical and underdeveloped area of investigation, particularly in aviation. The purpose of this study was to determine the work environment preferences of the Millennial generation in the aviation industry. The Work Environment Scale—Form I (Moos & Insel, 1974) was administered to 290 aviation personnel. Results of this study portray a complex combination of relationship, personal growth, and organizational structures of their ideal workplace preferences, dominated by desires for greater personal freedoms with less managerial interventions.

To resolve the situation, Federal Highway Administration entered into a Settlement Agreement with Nevada DOT and the Sierra Club, wherein the Administration agreed to undertake a research effort to characterize the impact and behavior of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 mum and mobile source air toxics near highways. The US Federal Highway Administration and US Environmental Protection Agency determined that it would be in the best interest of both organizations to implement this project in a collaborative manner, allowing a more effective utilization of staffing and resources. One of the first steps of the project implementation has been the selection of a suitable ambient air monitoring site in or around Las Vegas, Nevada. This article presents the multi-criteria analytical steps taken to select the near road monitoring sites to provide air quality data needed to support environmental decision-making in this project.

AB - This study examined the relationship between workplace safety climate factors, individual psychological health factors, and self-reported errors and violation behaviors. The aim was to test hypotheses about different causal pathways for errors and procedural violations. Three hundred eight aviation maintenance engineers completed a self-report questionnaire developed for this study. A structural model depicting how workplace violations and psychological health act as mediators between safety climate and errors was tested using structural equation modeling. The model fitted the data with safety climate accounting for 63% of the variance in violations and 52% of the variance in psychological health. Violations and psychological health combined to predict 58% of the variance in errors. The study demonstrates the importance of including both organizational and individual level variables to assess the safety status of an organization through the use of expanded safety climate surveys.

AB - Decision-making plays a crucial role in efficient alarm response, and, consequently, in adequate system-monitoring performance. The decision-making process involved while interacting with integrated aviation displays can be analyzed using an information-processing model, involving different stages of processing. The following manuscript presents a two-stage signal detection modeling approach of decision making while interacting with integrated aviation displays that allows researchers to partition these separate processing stages. Two experiments were conducted, examining the effects of likelihood alarm technology (LAT), workload, and task-critical information (TCI), on decision-making accuracy and bias. It was hypothesized that these factors would have differential direct and indirect effects on decision-making accuracy and bias during different stages of processing. Results were consistent with the postulated hypotheses as well as with prior research. The findings from this research effort demonstrated the superior advantage of using LAT to increase decision-making accuracy, decrease decision-making bias, and ultimately enhance monitoring performance.

Among these are perceptions of risk, attributions of skill vs. luck, self-discipline, and information seeking in hazardous situations. Over the past two decades, researchers have examined the relationship of LOC to hazardous attitudes, involvement in hazardous events, and other variables related to aviation safety. Research has found aviators to be significantly more internal in LOC than the general population, internality being associated with self-attributions of competency and self-confidence. This research has been cross-sectional and has typically employed small samples of civil aviators. Questions have been raised about psychometric properties of earlier (ipsative) versions of the hazardous attitude scales, and the resulting dependency between the five attitudinal categories. This review examines extant LOC research in aviation psychology, most of which addresses LOC in the context of hazardous attitudes. It examines concepts from attribution theory, (e.g., optimism bias; illusion of unique invulnerability), and argues that these are consistent with the processes underlying the maintenance of LOC and hazardous attitudes. It is recommended that integration of LOC and attribution theory should provide an enhanced explanation of the motivational bases for risk taking and decision making among aviators.

Flight instructors are particularly subject to fatigue due to the traditionally long workday and intensive workload. While there is a plethora of research done on fatigue in relation to commercial pilots and military pilots, little research has concentrated on flight instructors. A national survey was conducted to assess Part 141 flight school instructors’ self-awareness of their fatigue issues, impact of fatigue on flight training quality and safety, and potential solutions. Instructors were found to overwhelmingly work long hours, sometimes exceeding 80 hours a week. With the exception of the 'too tired to give instruction' scenario, more than half of the instructors reported that fatigue had negatively affected flight instruction in one way or another. Reduced rest and long days were found to be the most common causal factors of instructor fatigue. Survey data raised a concern: flight instructors seem to be unknowledgeable about circadian rhythms and their effect on daily life.

AB - The purpose of the present study was to assess the influence of alarm relevance and reliability on pilots’ perceptions of alarm relevance, urgency, importance, how compelled they were to respond, and actual response behavior. Twenty commercial pilots flew a simulated aircraft roundtrip from Dulles airport to Boston Logan airport and responded to 20 pressurization alarms. Each participant experienced alarms that were 60% or 80% reliable and alarms with either high or low relevance. Results indicated that pilots performed established flight procedures regardless of system reliability, though they responded faster and more often to more relevant alarms. These findings suggest that pilots consider alarm relevance when responding to alarms but they are extrinsically compelled to respond to unreliable alarms because of their training. The research supports prior alarm prioritization research. Alarm relevance affects pilots’ rate and speed of response, and pilots are influenced by their training to overmatch their alarm responses.

AB - Pilot errors are prominent in aviation and this may partly be mediated by stress-induced hormonal changes that deteriorate cognitive information processing. The present study explores the possible existence of stress in balloon operations by measuring stress-related hormonal changes during balloon flights. Salivary cortisol was measured in experienced balloon-pilots before, during and after a balloon flight. Compared to pre-flight cortisol concentrations, cortisol significantly increased 20 minutes after take-off during flight. The data suggest that even in experienced pilots, balloon flights may be stressful and therefore may influence the risk for pilot errors. Further research is necessary to generalize this claim.

AB - The Federal Aviation Administration bases its fundamentals of instruction (FOI) primarily on principals of cognitive theory and behaviorism. However, other flight training curricula are centered on concepts and practices from social learning theory such as constructivism, mastery learning, mentoring, reciprocal teaching, and the integration of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains of learning and are more aligned with current practices in education. Thus some Flight Instructor applicants may pass the FOI knowledge exam without gaining a complete understanding of important underlying educational learning theories applicable to flight training. Examples from the educational literature are used to describe some of those social learning theories and relate them to design and delivery of flight training curricula to enhance the transition from theory to practice.

T1 - On-Scene Intravenous Line Insertion Adversely Impacts Prehospital Time in Rural Vehicular Trauma. JO - American Surgeon JF - American Surgeon Y1 - 2008/11// VL - 74 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1083 EP - 1087 SN - 00031348 AB - Fatality rates from rural vehicular trauma are almost double those found in urban settings. Increased emergency medical services (EMS) prehospital time has been implicated as one of the causative factors for higher rural fatality rates. Advanced Trauma Life Support guidelines suggest scene time should not be extended to insert an intravenous catheter (IV). The purpose of this study was to assess the association between intravenous line placement and motor vehicle crash (MVC) scene time in rural and urban settings. An imputational methodology using the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Crash Outcome Data Evaluation System permitted linkage of data from police motor vehicle crash and EMS records. Intergraph GeoMedia software permitted this linked data to be plotted on digital maps for segregation into rural and urban groups. MVCs were defined as rural or urban by location of the accident using the U.S. Bureau of Census Criteria. Linked data were analyzed to assess for EMS time on-scene, on-scene IV insertion, on-scene IV insertion attempts, and patient mortality. Over a 2-year period from January 2001 through December 2002, data were collected from Alabama EMS patient care reports (PCRs) and police crash reports. A total of 45,763 police crash reports were linked to EMS PCRs. Of these linked crash records, 34,341 (75%) and 11,422 (25%) were injured in rural and urban settings, respectively. Six hundred eleven (1.78%) mortalities occurred in rural settings and 103 (0.90%) in urban settings (P < 0.005). There were 6,273 (18.3%) on-scene IV insertions in the rural setting and 1,290 (11.3%) in the urban setting (P < 0.005). Mean EMS time on-scene when single lV insertion attempts occurred was 16.9 minutes in the rural setting and 14.5 minutes in the urban setting (P < 0.0001). When two attempts of on-scene IV insertion were made, mean EMS time on-scene in the rural setting (n = 891 [2.6%]) was 18.4 minutes and 15.7 minutes in the urban setting (n = 142 [1.2%; P < 0.005). Excluding dead on-scene patients, mean EMS time on-scene when mortalities occurred in rural and urban settings was 18.9 minutes and 10.8 minutes, respectively (P < 0.005). On-scene IV insertion occurred with significantly greater frequency in rural than urban settings. This incurs greater EMS time on-scene and prehospital time that may be associated with increased vehicular fatality rates in rural settings.

Current regulations require that the detection system alarms within 1min of the start of a fire and flight tests are required to demonstrate compliance with these regulations. Due to the high costs of flight tests, extensive ground certification tests are typically conducted to ensure that the detection system will meet the time to alarm requirements during the flight tests. For the purpose of improving the detection system design and certification process, a transient computational fluid dynamics computer code for the prediction of smoke, heat, and gas species transport in cargo compartments has been developed. This simulation tool couples heat, mass, and momentum transfer in a body-fitted coordinate system in order to handle a variety of cargo bay shapes and sizes. Ideally, such a physics-based simulation tool can be used during the certification process to identify worst case locations for fires, optimum placement of detector sensors within the cargo compartment, and sensor alarm levels and algorithms needed to achieve detection within the required time. Validation of the model was completed, and comparison of the predicted results with the results obtained from full-scale fire tests in a variety of actual aircraft cargo compartments provides insight into the model capabilities.

Twelve specified trucks were selected for this study, which include one AASHTO design truck, three AASHTO legal trucks, and eight state legal trucks. These rating trucks were applied on 16 selected Tennessee Dept. of Transportation bridges to obtain the LRFR ratings. The selected bridges covered four commonly used bridge types, including prestressed I-beam bridges; prestressed box beam bridges; cast-in-place T-beam bridges; and steel I-beam bridges. The research results revealed that (1) LRFR AASHTO legal load ratings factors were enveloped by the LRFR HL-93 truck ratings factors, thereby confirming the validity of the LRFR tiered approach with regard to AASHTO legal loads; (2) the lighter state legal trucks were enveloped by the HL-93 loads, whereas the heavier state trucks with closer axle spacing typically resulted in load ratings that governed over the HL-93 loads; and (3) the bridges with both high average daily truck traffic and short spans were more likely to be governed by state legal load ratings instead of HL-93 load ratings.

A 28 ksi(193 MPa) compressive strength steel fiber reinforced concrete was used to fabricate an 80 ft(24.4 m) long AASHTO Type II girder containing 26 prestressing strands and no mild steel reinforcement. Intermediate and final behaviors, including cracking, flexural stiffness, and moment capacity, were investigated. Test results are compared to predictions based on standard analytical procedures. A relationship between tensile strain and crack spacing is developed. The uniaxial stress-strain response of UHPC when subjected to flexural stresses in an I-girder is determined and is verified to be representative of both the stress and flexural stiffness behaviors of the girder. A flexural design philosophy for this type of girder is proposed.

T1 - Evaluation of a high visibility enforcement project focused on passenger vehicles interacting with commercial vehicles JO - Journal of Safety Research JF - Journal of Safety Research Y1 - 2008/11// VL - 39 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 459 EP - 468 SN - 00224375 AB - Abstract: Introduction: In 2004, Washington State applied NHTSA''s High Visibility Enforcement model used in the Click It or Ticket seat belt campaign in an attempt to reduce unsafe driving behaviors around commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). The program was called Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks (TACT). This paper details the methods used to evaluate the program''s effectiveness and the results of the evaluation. Method: Four high-crash interstate highway corridors, each approximately 25 miles in length, were selected. Two of these corridors received TACT media messages and increased enforcement over an 18-month period while two comparison corridors did not receive any increased media or enforcement. Results: A total of 4,737 contacts were made with drivers during the two enforcement waves, and 72% of these contacts led to a citation. Drivers at the intervention sites who said they saw or heard any of the TACT messages increased from 17.7% in the pre period to a high of 67.3% in the post periods. Drivers at the intervention sites also reported increased exposure to the core message of leaving more space when passing trucks (14% pre to 40% post period). The percentage of drivers who said they leave more room when passing trucks than when passing cars rose from 16% in the pre period to 24% in the post period at the intervention sites, while comparison sites showed no change. Over 150 hours of video recorded by law enforcement officers in unmarked vehicles were utilized to examine violation rates and severity of violations before and after the intervention campaigns. Statistical analyses showed that violation rates were reduced significantly at the intervention sites (between 23% and 46%), while remaining constant at the comparison sites. Analyses of the video data also showed that the seriousness of the residual violations at the intervention sites decreased. Conclusions: Overall, the evaluation results provide a consistent picture of the effectiveness of the TACT pilot project. Success was demonstrated at every step - messages were received and understood, knowledge was changed in the intended direction, self reported driving behavior around large trucks improved, and observed driving behaviors confirmed the self reports. Impact on Industry: After this initial success in Washington State, the TACT model will continue to be implemented and evaluated by FMCSA in an attempt to validate the program. Based on the results of this study and the consistent positive results found for other sTEP projects, it is likely that TACT will show continued success in a variety of settings and will help reduce the number and severity of crashes involving CMVs. Future research should attempt to use many of the methods described here to further validate the methods for not only evaluations of TACT programs, but also for any other highway safety programs that require measurements of the program''s effectiveness.

JO - Public Works Management & Policy JF - Public Works Management & Policy Y1 - 2008/10// VL - 13 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 100 EP - 113 SN - 1087724X AB - Many policymakers, operators and developers of public infrastructure (such as highways, airports, water utilities), and academics believe that there is a funding deficit for US infrastructure. Traditional funding sources, such as fuel taxes, are widely deemed inadequate and unlikely to be increased. Tolls and other user fees provide additional funding sources. Coupled with public-private partnership contracting and delivery methods (P3s), these fees can provide new funding sources and ways to reduce delivery costs, as many recent transactions demonstrate, such as the Chicago Skyway and the State of Texas transactions. Private equity is an important component of P3 financing and as much as $80 to $130 billion (B) is available in private equity investment funds (PEIFs). PEIFs impose certain requirements on the projects and companies they finance, most importantly on short duration of the investment, as little as ten years, in some cases, from initial investment to final payback. This causes potential conflicts with new, greenfield projects, which have a three to five year construction period and several years of ramp-up in the early operating years. PEIFs can serve as a useful funding source if: 1) policymakers anticipate this conflict, including anticipating short duration, allowing for novation of private contracts to other parties, are clear about re-gearing issues, seek ways to reduce project development periods and/or if 2) PEIFs can be structured with longer durations and/or PEIF funding partners, especially endowments and pension funds, can make direct, longer duration investments.

AB - Objective: The main objective of this study is to present a methodology for computing information relevance. Background: Relevance is a pervasive term used in several domains, such as pragmatics, information science, and psychology. Quantifying the relevance of information can be helpful in effective display design. Displays should be designed so that the more relevant information is more easily accessed. Method: This procedure focuses on computing the relevance of a piece of information by taking into account three aspects of tasks that use the information: the number of different tasks that make use of the information, the frequency of occurrence of those tasks, and the criticality of those tasks. The methodology can be used to compute the aggregate relevance of a piece of information for a particular component of a system or for the entire system. This methodology was illustrated using the domain of air traffic control (ATC). Results: In support of the validity of the methodology, we were able to confirm the value of weather information and traffic information in ATC towers. Conclusion: The method can be used to derive information relevance, a characteristic of information that has implications for display design for any domain. Application: Designers can use information about aggregate relevance to design information displays that feature the most relevant information.

These actual spending dollars are used as a more precise measure compared to apportioned state public capitals used in the existing literature. For each type of capital/spending, the interstate spillovers were constructed in such a way that different states are weighted by commodity flows across the states to reflect different degree of inter-state dependence. We find that when spending data rather than capital stock is used, all of the interstate spillover effects are negative and statistically significant, suggesting that infrastructure investment does not contribute to economic growth (at least not directly). Therefore, crowding out effects exist among states competing for both private and government funds, in particular if states are highly dependent on allocation of federal funds. These results confirm the finding that previously estimated positive coefficients reflect spurious correlation based on capital stocks and output.

The emergence of transit-oriented walkable/bikeable communities would reduce the dependence on private automobiles, while flying car prospects would lead to the development of new traffic and licensing laws. The industry resists to the regulations which require wirelessly enabled data communication systems and automated navigation in vehicles.

This factor has historically been considered constant for a given pile–soil system, but recent investigations as well as previous case studies show the plausibility of another explanation. This study hypothesizes that damping is more closely associated with the increase in strain and not the total strain. Therein, the change in the volumetric strain is being scrutinized to investigate its relationship to damping. To validate this assumption, a numerical model is created which simulates the testing of a full-scale drilled shaft and results analyzed to determine the extent of the zone of influence and volumetric contribution to damping.

Using data for three fiscal years and employing time-series pooled cross section econometrics, we have found that the Air Traffic Organization's (ATO) service provisions in the en route centers have some economies of scale. Furthermore, we have found that while controllers' wage is important, it is not statistically significant in unit cost measured in aircraft flight operation counts. However, it is statistically significant when unit variable cost is measured and estimated in terms of aircraft flight operation hours. We have also found that degree of complexity, a measure of service attributes, does not impact cost. These findings, combined with on-going policy discussion on users' fees, imply that ATO may be well positioned to implement average cost pricing if cost is to be fully recovered for en route services. The implementation of marginal cost pricing may require external funding, perhaps from general funds of the U.S. Treasury.

The LWCs are averaged over uniform cloud intervals of variable length. LWC probabilities are then generated as a function of averaging distance, temperature, droplet mass-median diameter (MMD), altitude, and freezing-level height. These variously scaled LWCs (different averaging intervals from 1 s to 200 n mi) are easily accommodated by distance-based graphing (LWC versus averaging distance). These graphs provide realistic LWCs for modeling, and they can serve as a common reference for comparing LWC measurements over any averaging scale. Maximum recorded LWCs are about 1.6 g m-3 in stratiform clouds and about 5 g m-3 in convective clouds, both over short (<0.5 km) distances. A sharp MMD mode near 15 μm appears to be a stable condition in which the LWCs can be the largest and extend the farthest. The larger the MMD above the mode, the shorter its spatial extent will be, the rarer its occurrence, and the lower the maximum LWC that can be present.

The approach involves conversion of existing freeways in metropolitan areas into premium-service free-flowing highways that provide fast, frequent, and inexpensive express bus service, while charging all private vehicles a variable toll, except for authorized buses and certified vanpool vehicles. The article provides estimates of the potential economic and financial impacts from such an approach applied in the five most congested U.S. metropolitan areas. The estimates suggest that the concept could provide sufficient revenue to replace the fuel tax and perhaps other transportation taxes, while providing huge reductions in congestion delay and fuel consumption.

AB - The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of how and why flight progress strips are currently used in air traffic control towers in the United States. The 3 main staffing positions in the tower, flight-data/clearance delivery (FD/CD), ground control (GC), and local control (LC), were observed by subject-matter experts at 10 control towers. Frequency of occurrence, importance ratings, and type of paper used were recorded. In addition, perceived benefits of marks made on the paper were assessed using open item responses and a series of Likert-scale questions. The positions varied in the marks the controllers made and in their reasons for making the marks. FD/CD controllers tended to make marks because they reduced workload or aided communication. LC tended to make marks because they aided memory, organization, and situation awareness. GC proved to be an interesting hybrid of the FD/CD and LC.

This is especially dangerous for pilots. Although many of these compounds are considered disqualifying by the FAA, their use occurs. Some pilots may be unaware of the danger of combining compounds from these two drug classes. Our laboratory was interested in evaluating the circumstances surrounding accidents in which the pilot was found positive for drugs from each of these two classes. Methods: Epidemiological, toxicological, and aeromedical findings from pilots involved in such accidents were collected for the 7-yr period from 2000 through 2006. Case histories, accident information, and the probable cause of the aviation accidents were obtained from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Toxicological information was obtained from the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute's (CAMI's) Forensic Toxicology Research Laboratory. Results: Of the 2184 fatal aviation accidents over this time period, 26 were found positive for compounds from both the antiemetic and the sedative drug classes. All 26 aircraft were operated under 14 CFR Part 91 as general aviation. All pilots were male; 21 tested positive for a disqualifying substance that may have affected their ability to control the aircraft. Conclusion: Although the percentage of accidents in which the pilot tests positive for a compound from each class is small, it is important for all pilots to understand the dangers of self-medicating and concomitant use of such substances.

The model is formulated in an axi-symmetric coordinate system and incorporates with various sub-models to describe the behavior of the composite cylinder under extreme thermo-mechanical loadings. A heat transfer sub-model is employed to predict the temperature evolution of the composite cylinder wall and accounts for heat transport due to decomposition and mass loss. A composite decomposition sub-model described by Arrhenius''s law is implemented to predict the residual resin content of thermal damaged area. A sub-model for material degradation is implemented to account for the loss of mechanical properties. A progressive failure model is adopted to detect various types of mechanical failure. These sub-models are implemented in ABAQUS commercial finite element code using user subroutines. Numerical results are presented for thermal damage, residual properties and profile of resin content in the cylinder. The developed model provides a useful tool for safe design and structural assessment of high pressure composite hydrogen storage cylinders.

It enables pavement engineers to conduct a comprehensive assessment of long-term costs, and ideally agency highway funding can be allocated more optimally. Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has adopted LCCA in the pavement selection process since the mid-1980s, yet its application in actual projects has not been reviewed. Using case studies, this paper seeks to analyze MDOT’s accuracy in projecting the actual costs over the pavement service life and choosing the lowest-cost pavement alternative. Ten highway sections in Michigan were chosen and grouped into four case studies. Their estimated and actual accumulated costs and maintenance schedules were compared. While results indicate that MDOT LCCA procedure correctly predicts the pavement type with lower initial construction cost, actual costs are usually lower than estimated in the LCCA. This outcome may be partly because the cost estimation module in MDOT’s model is not site specific enough. Refinements to its pavement construction and maintenance cost estimating procedures would assist MDOT in realizing the full potential of LCCA in identifying the lowest cost pavement alternatives for the pavements studied.

AB - To learn who experiences air travel stress, this study examined hypothesized demographic differences in the three components of the Air Travel Stress Scale: Air Travel Anxiety, Air Travel Anger, and Airline/Airport Trust. In two samples (N = 925; N = 2382) of air travelers, results showed that statistically significant indicators of higher Air Travel Anxiety were being a woman, being under age 54, having a gross annual household income of less than $60,000 US dollars, being a leisure traveler, and having eight or fewer domestic roundtrip flights in the past year. Indicators of higher Air Travel Anger were being a man, having a gross annual household income of at least $60,000, and being an international traveler. Finally, indicators of lower Airline/Airport Trust were being a man, being age 54 or younger, an income of at least $60,000, being a business traveler, and being an international traveler. Implications for understanding and intervening on air travel stress are discussed.

AB - To some degree many collegiate aviation students have been misinformed on the nature of situation awareness (Dekker, 2005). Situation awareness was a construct developed by cognitive psychologists to help further examine the interior workings of the processes at play. However, if one were to study situation awareness with Endsley (2000), or Pew (2000), or Dennehy and Deighton (1997), the student might come away with misunderstandings of how this construct works: not because these scientists are misinformed, but because their illustrations must be presented with warning labels. Not all illustrations are accurate. This is particularly true when a Venn diagram or set theory has been used to illustrate situation awareness. This paper examined several of the more popular models of situation awareness and transformed them into five rules of probability and the general propositions of set theory. Useful tips on how to properly present situation awareness in the classroom were added, as well as thoughts on how to observe and study situation awareness during simulator training.

AB - Applicants for air traffic control specialist (ATCS) positions have been assessed with the 16 Personality Factor (16 PF) test since 1965, with progressively decreasing effectiveness. The purpose of the present study was to assess the viability of using of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) in lieu of the 16 PF. A sample of 1,014 ATCSs in training voluntarily completed the MMPI-2 as part of a research program, after being cleared with the 16 PF. Those data are used to estimate the number of future candidates that would be referred for follow-up psychological evaluations, given varying MMPI-2 scale cut scores (T scores of 65, 70, 75, and 80). A final algorithm of 70T or above on scales 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 as well as 75T on scale 9 is initially recommended. Initial cut scores are recommended that are mindful of the reality of a non-referred population and the needs of the operational air traffic control community.

AB - Studies have shown that spatial disorientation (SD) plays a significant role in both the number and outcome of rotary wing accidents. Recent work has confirmed this and highlighted the contribution of brownout conditions and aircrew fatigue in accident causation. Current standard Army aircraft cockpit displays do not provide drift information leaving the pilot guessing the direction and magnitude of the aircraft’s drift vector when close to the ground. This information is critical to the safe landing of helicopters in brownout conditions. The few helicopters with instrumentation that provide drift information do so via visual displays which require the focus of an already visually-saturated pilot. This effort tested a system that provides drift information through the tactile sense via a belt around the waist in a fatigued aviator model. Analysis of the study data showed that the tactile belt significantly improved drift control during takeoff and reduced drift error during hover. In fatigued pilots (awake for 31 continuous hours), all measures of drift were better with the belt versus without the belt. Fatigued pilots reported a significant reduction in visual and physical workload with the belt. Results indicate that the belt significantly improved pilot perception of drift and situation awareness and reduced mental stress.

AB - A previous study of general aviation pilots using advanced cockpit systems demonstrated a link between pilots’ attitudes and beliefs about advanced systems and their behavior and performance in the cockpit (Casner, 2005). To understand these attitudes and beliefs, a survey was administered to 134 general aviation pilots. The survey explored topics such as pilots’ general attitudes toward advanced cockpit systems, how pilots believe these systems affect workload and awareness, pilots’ preferences for cockpit systems, pilots’ perceptions of risk, long-term effects on pilot skill, and the effects of advanced cockpit systems on the number of errors pilots make as well as the overall safety record. The results show that general aviation pilots hold generally positive attitudes about advanced cockpit systems and exhibit a strong preference for using them. Pilots recognize potential pitfalls associated with advanced cockpit systems but are more likely to ascribe the problems to other pilots than they are to themselves. Overall, general aviation pilots’ attitudes were mostly similar to those of airline pilots with a few notable exceptions. A number of contradictory attitudes point out the need for specific future studies to clarify the effect of attitudes and beliefs on pilot behavior and ultimate safety outcomes.

AB - The current study was conducted in order to determine if strategic team training at an air traffic control task would increase long-term performance compared to teams that received factual training. Half of the teams engaged in strategic training prior to longitudinal assessment of performance in CTEAM (a simulated air traffic control task), whereas the other teams received factual training. Those teams that received strategic training consistently had lower delay times than the factually trained teams. Over the initial set of trials there was a speed-accuracy tradeoff, but this did not continue over subsequent trials; strategically trained teams continued to outperform factually trained teams on delay time, but performed similarly on accuracy for the remainder of the trials. Strategies were aimed at reducing the time to complete the necessary components of the CTEAM task and the results reflect this training benefit. Overall, these results imply that the strategic training method elicited positive long-term effects on performance in the dynamic decision environment.

Issue Publication Date: Sum 2008. Copyright Statement: FAA Academy. 2008. AB - This research studied pilots’ perceptions about the use of a ballistic parachute with 1,003 valid survey respondents. Overall, pilots felt that an aircraft equipped with a parachute was safer than one without; however, flight experience affected pilot opinions. Flight instructors certificated for less then 2 years imagined the parachute would lower them gently to the ground. Research determined that new pilots might favor flight schools providing parachutes on training aircraft. However, without training-scenarios to teach aeronautical decision-making regarding deployment, flight instructors may use the parachute indiscriminately. The study revealed that pilots made decisions differently when considering flights in a parachute equipped aircraft during four scenarios. Research included factors that may influence pilot opinions, the Risk Homeostasis Theory (RHT), and recommendations.

When the bridge failed in 1994, Conrail, then the bridge's owner, elected not to repair it due to declining freight volume. The State of Delaware reached agreement with the new rail owner, Norfolk Southern Corporation, to provide funds to repair the bridge, with the railroad to pay tolls to repay the state's investment. Recent volumes of traffic over the bridge indicate that, if traffic continues at its current level, Delaware will realize an annual return of 9.75% on its investment.

AB - Theories contrasting charismatic, ideological, and pragmatic leaders hold that these three leader types display differences in how they construe and attempt to solve the problems encountered in leading others. To test this hypothesis, a measure examining differences among people in their preferred leadership style, charismatic, ideological, and pragmatic, was developed. Subsequently, people were asked to solve leadership problems in two domains. Solution quality and originality were evaluated. It was found that different types of leaders solved different types of problems successfully. However, these relationships varied as a function of domain and designation of the individual as a leader. The implications of these findings for understanding leadership types, and leader performance, are discussed.

AB - Description: The National Drinking and Driving Questionnaire (Drew et al, 2008), the eighth in a series of periodic surveys that began in 1991, assesses the status and trends regarding the public’s attitudes, knowledge, and self-reported behavior related to drinking and driving. It was sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)'s Office of Behavioral Safety Research (OBSR), was conducted by Gallup, Inc. in 2008. The target population for the 2008 National Survey of Drinking and Driving Attitudes and Behavior was the general driving age public (aged 16 and older) in the 50 States and the District of Columbia. The mode of data collection, as in the previous rounds, was telephone (both landlines and cell phones). A non-response bias study was also planned in accordance with Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requirements in order to examine the potential for nonresponse bias. A total of 200 interviews were completed with a random sample of non-respondents. The questionnaire for the non-response bias study included a subset of questions from the main study.

AB - Introduction: Over the past decade, the U.S. military has conducted several studies to evaluate determinants of enlisted air traffic controller (ATC) performance. Research has focused on validation of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) and has shown it to be a good predictor of training performance. Despite this, enlisted ATC training and post-training attrition is higher than desirable, prompting interest in alternate selection methods to augment current procedures. The current study examined the utility of the FAA Air Traffic Selection and Training (AT-SAT) battery for incrementing the predictiveness of the ASVAB versus several enlisted ATC training criteria. Method: Subjects were 448 USAF enlisted ATC students who were administered the ASVAB and FAA AT-SAT subtests and subsequently graduated or were eliminated from apprentice-level training. Training criteria were a dichotomous graduation/elimination training score, average ATC fundamentals course score, and FAA certified tower operator test score. Results: Results confirmed the predictive validity of the ASVAB and showed that one of the AT-SAT subtests resembling a low-fidelity ATC work sample significantly improved prediction of training performance beyond the ASVAB alone. Discussion: Results suggested training attrition could be reduced by raising the current ASVAB minimum qualifying score. However, this approach may make it difficult to identify sufficient numbers of trainees and lead to adverse impact. Although the AT-SAT ATC work sample subtest showed incremental validity to the ASVAB, its length (95 min) may be problematic in operational testing. Recommendations are made for additional studies to address issues affecting operational implementation.

The mass flux (1 g/m2 s) and (virtual) heat release rate (24 kW/m2) of the solid at incipient ignition derived from this observation are in general agreement with experimental data for piloted ignition of plastics. Sustained ignition marks the transition from lower-limit to stoichiometric burning and the critical heat release rate increases proportionally to 66 kW/m2. A critical heat release rate, unique among ignition criteria, is independent of material composition because of the implicit coupling between the gas and condensed phase processes.

Department of Transportation, Oklahoma City, OK; No. of Pages: 5; Language: English; Publication Type: Article; Update Code: 20071113 N2 - Introduction: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants are popularly prescribed, but these drugs are not currently approved for use by U.S. civilian aviators. In a 2003 study, the presence of 4 SSRls—citalopram, fluoxetine, paroxetine, and sertraline—was reported in 61 pilot fatalities of civil aviation accidents that occurred during 1990-2001. However, it was not known whether these pilots had disqualifying psychological conditions, including depression, and had properly reported the use of the antidepressants. Methods: The aeromedical history of the pilots was retrieved from the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) Aerospace Medical Certification Database; additional pilot medical information and the cause/factor of the accidents were obtained from the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB's) Aviation Accident Database. Results: There were 59 pilots who had medical records in the FAA's Certification Database. Disqualifying psychological conditions were self-reported in the past examinations of only 7 (12%) of the 59 pilots, and the use of an SSRI was reported by 3 of the 7 pilots. In later examinations, 6 of the 7 indicated that they were free from the conditions and not taking SSRIs; thus, they were reissued medical certificates. Such conditions and/or drug use were not self-reported in the aeromedical records of the remaining 52 (88%) pilots. Nevertheless, the NTSB investigations revealed that 12 (20%) of the 61 pilots had a history of a psychological condition and/or an SSRI use, as suggested by their personal medical records. Conclusions:These findings reconfirm that SSRIs were used by the aviators but were not reported in their last aeromedical examinations.

Author: Al-Deleamy, Louai S.: 1 Author: Kendirli, Tansel M.: 1 ; Author Affiliation: 1 From the FAA Civil Aerospace Medical Institute, Oklahoma City, OK; No. of Pages: 4; Language: English; Publication Type: Article; Update Code: 20071113 N2 - Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common types of peripheral vertigo, characterized by violent whirling vertigo after a positional change. Although the condition is termed "benign," the clinical presentation can be incapacitating for pilots in certain maneuvers. We present a case of an airline transport pilot with the complaint of vertigo for 5 d. The vertigo was aggravated by head movements when looking up or rolling over, lasting for a few seconds. The patient was diagnosed with BPPV, and he was treated with physical therapy with the use of Epley maneuver. The airman applied for his First-Class medical examination after the treatment was successfully completed. The aviation medical examiner (AME) issued the airman medical certificate after contacting and receiving verbal approval from the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) Aerospace Medical Certification Division (AMCD). While evaluating aviators who have had BPPV, AMEs should not issue medical certificates for any class until the condition is fully resolved. Although the AME Guide states that certification of pilots with other types of vertigo requires an FAA decision, once the patient is successfully treated and free of symptoms, approval for issuing the medical certificate can be obtained through contacting AMCD and by submitting all information and documentation pertaining to the diagnosis and treatment.

It was assumed that an operational radar network remains a critical observing system for the nation. Furthermore, MPAR will allow the future weather network in addition to provide high-quality aircraft surveillance services at small cost.

According to the article, under normal conditions, a test specimen is noted to be negative when there is no response from the analyte. However, it is pointed out that if the intensity of the internal standard (IS) is low, indicating interference factors, it may be concluded as "inconclusive." It is mentioned that the study is aimed at developing a quantifiable standard that will help create negative or inconclusive decisions.

The device was designed to ascertain whether individuals with certain color vision deficiencies were able to discriminate between the red and white lights in fielded systems on the basis of luminous intensity. The device provided the ability to control the timing and duration of light-emitting diode (LED) and incandescent light stimulus presentations, to present the experimental sequence and verbal instructions automatically, to adjust LED and incandescent luminous intensity, and to display LED and incandescent lights with various spectral emissions. The lighting device could easily be adapted for experiments involving flashing or timed presentations of colored lights, or the components could be expanded to study areas such as threshold light perception and visual alerting systems.

The particles are octahedral, bumpy clusters of spheres that are compacted into assemblies of different densities. The contact model is a Jäger generalization of the Hertz contact, which yields a small-strain shear modulus that is proportional to the square root of confining stress. Simulations made of triaxial extension and compression loading conditions and of simple shear produce behaviors that are similar to sand. Undrained cyclic shearing simulations are performed with nonuniform amplitudes of shearing pulses and with 24 irregular seismic shearing sequences. A methodology is proposed for quantifying the severities of such irregular shearing records, allowing the 24 sequences to be ranked in severity. The relative severities of the 24 seismic sequences show an anomalous dependence on sampling density. Four scalar measures are proposed for predicting the severity of a particular loading sequence. A stress-based scalar measure shows superior efficiency in predicting initial liquefaction and pore pressure rise.

The coatings on all bars are penetrated prior to testing to simulate damage in the field. The results indicate that, even when damaged, conventional epoxy coatings result in much higher concrete chloride contents at corrosion initiation and much lower corrosion losses than exhibited by conventional reinforcement. A reduced water-cement ratio, corrosion inhibitors, and the primer coating containing microencapsulated calcium nitrite provide protection in uncracked but less or no protection in cracked concrete. The bars coated with zinc prior to epoxy application exhibit relatively high corrosion rates because of preferential losses to the zinc, and no improvement in corrosion performance is observed for epoxies with increased adhesion.

Air navigation service providers are working to quantify this role to help prioritize and justify ATM modernization efforts. In the following study we analyze actual flight-level fuel consumption data reported by a major U.S. based airline to study the possible fuel savings from ATM improvements that allow flights to better adhere to their planned trajectories both en route and in the terminal area. To do so we isolate the contribution of airborne delay, departure delay, excess planned flight time, and terminal area inefficiencies on fuel consumption using econometric techniques. The model results indicate that, for two commonly operated aircraft types, the system-wide averages of flight fuel consumption attributed to ATM delay and terminal inefficiencies are 1.0–1.5% and 1.5–4.5%, respectively. We quantify the fuel impact of predicted delay to be 10–20% that of unanticipated delay, reinforcing the role of flight plan predictability in reducing fuel consumption. We rank terminal areas by quantifying a Terminal Inefficiency metric based on the variation in terminal area fuel consumed across flights. Our results help prioritize ATM modernization investments by quantifying the trade-offs in planned and unplanned delays and identifying terminal areas with high potential for improvement.

However, for large scale assessments, as are often performed by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administrationis environmental models, the accuracy of a model must be weighed against its efficiency. The hybrid propagation model (HPM) is capable of predicting propagation through complex environments. It is a composite of three methods-the generalized terrain parabolic equation (GTPE), fast field program (FFP), and straight ray models-each utilized in a different region of elevation angles from the source. If propagation conditions do not warrant use of the full model, one of the component models with faster runtime can be chosen as a surrogate. Analyses of cases using different source heights and including uneven terrain, refractive atmosphere, and ground type transitions, indicate when a detailed propagation model is needed, or when a simpler model is sufficient.

While quite effective in producing sedation, zolpidem has potentially hazardous side effects when put in the context of complex tasks. Therefore, to more fully understand the postmortem concentrations of zolpidem, our laboratory has developed a sensitive method for the quantitation of zolpidem in biological specimens. Additionally, we have evaluated the distribution of zolpidem in various postmortem tissues and fluids from 10 aviation fatalities. This method incorporated a modified acetonitrile ‘crash and shoot’ extraction and a Waters Xevo TQ-S with an Acquity ultra-performance liquid chromatograph. The linear dynamic range was 0.4–800 ng/mL. The extraction efficiencies ranged from 78 to 87%, depending on the concentration. Postmortem blood zolpidem concentrations in these 10 cases ranged from 7.6 to 76.5 ng/mL. The highest concentrations of zolpidem present in each victim were found in the liver, spleen, lung and kidney tissues. Distribution coefficients for zolpidem were determined for each of the specimen types analyzed. These coefficients are expressed relative to the blood concentration in each case. This method proved to be simple, accurate and robust for the identification and quantitation of zolpidem in postmortem fluids and tissues.

JO - Journal of Analytical Toxicology JF - Journal of Analytical Toxicology Y1 - 2014/10// VL - 38 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 519 EP - 523 SN - 01464760 AB - During the investigation of aviation accidents, postmortem specimens from accident victims are submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration's Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) for toxicological analysis. A case recently received by CAMI screened positive for the anticonvulsant medication carbamazepine (CBZ; Tegretol®) by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The CBZ found during this routine screening procedure was subsequently confirmed using a CBZ-specific GC–MS procedure. It was later discovered that the accident victim had been prescribed oxcarbazepine (OXCBZ; Trileptal®). OXCBZ is structurally similar to CBZ and is metabolized by cytosolic enzymes in the liver to an active metabolite, 10,11-dihydro-10-hydroxycarbamazepine (DiCBZ). It was determined that the CBZ initially found in this case was present due to the thermal breakdown of DiCBZ in the GC–MS injector port. In the current study, this conversion was investigated and the percentage of CBZ formed at various injector port temperatures was determined. Additionally, these three compounds were quantified in nine fluid and tissue specimens from the case in question. Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry was also incorporated to further demonstrate the absence/presence of CBZ in these samples.

It has been a successful and low-cost intersection configuration using existing external boundaries of intersections. Nevertheless, accessible traffic capacity models for mini-roundabouts do not exist. This study provides design recommendations and a simulation approach for capacity models of mini-roundabouts from U.S. data. Two geometries are selected that have a 7 or 10 m (24- or 36-ft) approach width typical of conventional intersections. The mini-roundabouts are best defined by the inscribed circle diameter of 15 and 23 m (50 and 75 ft). Field data are collected on drivers' behavior and decisions for a mini-roundabout design in order to calibrate simulation models. A microscopic traffic simulation software is used to model the selected prototype designs for capacity estimations. The defining feature for mini-roundabouts is the traversable central and splitter islands for large vehicles that make through or left-turn movements. The linear regression models presented estimate the capacity of the mini-roundabouts to be lower than that of the single-lane roundabout. However the mini-roundabout has a higher capacity per square foot of land, which would be an innovative solution for urban areas for increasing capacity at existing all-way stop-controlled intersections at lower cost than single-lane roundabouts.

A number of related tasks have been encompassed in this study. The speed studies were conducted at 32 sites that had recently been upgraded from two-lane roadways to four or five-lane roadways with curb and gutter profiles. The speed variances and speeding rates at these sites were examined and compared with corresponding data from similar sites on two-lane roadways. Apart from the field test study, a series of human factor studies that used the DS-600c driving simulator system at the University of Tennessee was conducted to assess the effects of curb and gutter profiles and posted speed limits on driver speed-selection behaviors. In addition, a study of the effects of speed limits, in combination with curb and gutter, on crash rates was performed using crash data from the Highway Safety Information System (HSIS). Based on the research findings, the study authors recommend that the alternative standard that allows the use of designed speeds and posted speed limits in excess of 72.42 km/h (45 mi/h), along with the use of correctly sloping curbs, should be developed by the traffic agencies.

JO - Transportation Research: Part E JF - Transportation Research: Part E Y1 - 2014/10// VL - 70 M3 - Article SP - 245 EP - 260 SN - 13665545 AB - High arrival delay at major airports tends to propagate and generate secondary delay through the National Airspace System (NAS). In the United States, it is widely believed that the major culprits for delay throughout the NAS are the three New York commercial airports – Newark (EWR), LaGuardia (LGA), and John F. Kennedy (JFK). Various estimates of the extent to which the New York airports impact the delay in the NAS have been reported over the years. Yet there is no thorough investigation into the mutual relationship between delays at New York and non-New York airports. In this paper, we take two different approaches to quantify the impact of the three New York airports on delay throughout the NAS. First, we estimate and apply an econometric model using a large historical dataset. The other model is the FAA SWAC model that simulates flights and tracks the daily performance of the system. The counterfactual scenarios in these two models are adjusted to be comparable to each other. There is disparity between the results of the two different models, suggesting the simulation model might not capture all the factors that cause arrival delay. Still both results conclude that the portion of delay in the system caused by New York airports is much less than publicized estimates. Combining econometric and simulation models to address questions of this nature appears to be a promising approach.

This paper calculates the lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and production costs associated with HEFA jet and diesel fuels from tallow, and from yellow grease (YG) derived from used cooking oil. For YG, total CO2 equivalent (CO2 eq.) GHG emissions of jet and diesel were found to range between 16.8-21.4 g MJ-1 and 12.2-16.9 g MJ-1 respectively. This corresponds to lifecycle GHG emission reductions of 76-81% and 81-86% respectively, compared to their conventional counterparts. Two different system boundaries were considered for tallow-derived HEFA fuels. In System 1 (S1), tallow was treated as a by-product of the rendering industry, and emissions from rendering and fuel production were included. In System 2 (S2), tallow was considered as a by-product of the meat production industry, and in addition to the S1 emissions, cattle husbandry and slaughtering were also included. The lifecycle emissions (CO2 eq.) from HEFA jet fuel for S1 and S2 were estimated to be 25.7-37.5 g MJ-1 and 67.1-83.9 g MJ-1 respectively. HEFA diesel lifecycle emissions were found to be 21.3-33.3 g MJ-1 for S1 and 63.4-80.5 g MJ-1 for S2. Production costs for these fuels were calculated using a discounted cash flow rate of return model. The minimum selling price was estimated to be 880 $ m-3-1060 $ m-3 for YG-derived HEFA, and 1050-1250 $ m-3 for tallow-derived HEFA fuels.

An assessment of damage-containment capabilities of the PRSEUS concept for a full-scale fuselage panel was recently conducted under a joint program conducted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Federal Aviation Administration, and The Boeing Company. The panel was subjected to axial tension, internal pressure, and combined axial tension and internal pressure load conditions up to fracture, with a two-bay through-the-thickness notch severing the central stiffener. Panel deformation was monitored via strain gages, linear variable differential transducers, and digital image correlation. Damage formation, propagation, and accumulation were monitored visually throughout loading. Post-failure nondestructive and teardown inspections were performed in the vicinity of the notch tips where stable damage progression occurred. These test results demonstrated that the PRSEUS design exhibits improved damage-containment capability.

It also represents an important factor in traveller satisfaction. This paper utilises the cases of seven airports on the US West Coast to evaluate the impact of arrival cancellations, gate arrival and departure delays and block delays on the levels of scheduled arrival reliability measured on a scale from 1 to 5. Based on an ordered logit regression model, the study revealed that there was no significant difference among the sampled airports in the attainment of scheduled arrival reliability as explained by the model's independent variables, whether an airport was part of the Federal Aviation Administration's Core 30 airport group, it served as a hub for a major carrier or it was located at a specific Air Route Traffic Control Center.

This case study focuses on calibrating the Wiedemann car-following model parameters specific to freeway work zones. Applying the concept of an LL enables the experimental platform to be in a natural real-world environment. The design of this LL included the development of an instrumented research vehicle (IRV) to capture the natural car-following response of a driver when entering and passing through a freeway work zone. The development of a connected mobile traffic sensing (CMTS) system, which included state-of-the-art intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies, supports the LL environment by providing the connectivity, interoperability, and data processing of the natural, real-life setting. The IRV and CMTS system are tools designed based on the research objective to support the concept of an LL which facilitates the experimental environment to capture and calibrate natural driver behavior. This case study shows the application of an LL specific to operations research providing an experimental platform for evaluating the operational performance of a roadway in a real-time, connected, and collaborative natural environment.

JO - Transport Policy JF - Transport Policy Y1 - 2014/07// VL - 34 M3 - Article SP - 85 EP - 101 SN - 0967070X AB - Current practices for assessing the monetary impacts of aviation noise typically use hedonic pricing methods that estimate noise-induced property value depreciation. However, this approach requires detailed knowledge of local housing markets, which is not readily available at a fine resolution for most airport regions around the world. This paper proposes a new noise monetization method based on city-level personal income, which is often more widely available. Underlying the approach is a meta-analysis of 63 hedonic pricing studies from eight countries, conducted between 1970 and 2010, which is used to derive a general relationship between average city-level personal income and the Willingness to Pay for noise abatement. Applying the new model to income, noise, and population data for 181 airports worldwide, the global capitalized monetary impacts of commercial aviation noise in 2005 are estimated to be $23.8 billion, with a Net Present Value of $36.5 billion between 2005 and 2035 when a 3.5% discount rate is applied. Comparison with previous results based on real estate data yields a difference of −34.2% worldwide and −9.8% for the 95 US airports in the analysis. The main advantages of the income-based model are fewer data limitations and the relative ease of implementation compared to the hedonic pricing methods, making it suitable for assessing the monetary impacts of aviation noise reduction policies on a global scale.

Temperature at any depth in a rigid pavement system can be estimated by using the proposed solution with limited input data, such as pavement layer thicknesses, material thermal properties, measured air temperatures and solar radiation intensities. This temperature prediction problem is modelled as a boundary value problem governed by the classic heat conduction equations, and the air temperatures and solar radiation intensities are considered in the surface boundary condition. Interpolatory trigonometric polynomials, based on the discrete least squares approximation method, are used to fit the measured air temperatures and solar radiation intensities during the time period of interest. The solution technique employs the complex variable approach along with the separation of variables method. A FORTRAN program was coded to implement the proposed 1D analytical solution. Field model validation demonstrates that the proposed solution generates reasonable temperature profile in the concrete slab for a four-layered rigid pavement system during two different time periods of the year.

JO - Journal of Transport Geography JF - Journal of Transport Geography Y1 - 2014/06// VL - 38 M3 - Article SP - 13 EP - 21 SN - 09666923 AB - Various geographic units have been used in macro-level modeling. Amongst these units, traffic analysis zones (TAZs) have been broadly employed in many macroscopic safety studies. Nevertheless, no studies questioned the validity of TAZs for crash analysis at the macro-level crash modeling. In this study, we point out several possible problems of TAZs as spatial units for macroscopic safety studies. Current TAZs with homogenous crash rates were combined into new single zones. Then we created ten new zonal systems by different zone aggregation levels. The optimal zonal scale for traffic safety analysis zones (TSAZ) was determined using the Brown-Forsythe test. It was found that the zone system with about 1:2 aggregation was the optimal zone system for macroscopic safety modeling. Thus we develop what we call traffic safety analysis zones (TSAZs) that has the potential of reducing several possible problems of TAZs. Also it was shown that TSAZ based models had better fit compared to TAZ based models.

This paper presents a refined eye tracking study aimed at isolating out the sources, both stationary and temporal, that cause drivers to turn their visual attentions away from the roadway ahead. The eye tracking datasets were generated by 35 drivers using a dash-mounted eye tracker. Each driver drove through two test routes, Route A and Route B. The routes consisted of different types of roadways (expressways, on/off-ramps, local roads, et cetera.) and each took about 25 minutes to drive through. Tests were done during off-peak periods, in the early afternoon and after dark hours. About 1.5 million image frames with valid fixations, proper speed values, and associated roadway types were analyzed. The samples were grouped by roadway type, driving speed, and visibility. Fixation patterns across the 50 50 pixel grid cells corresponding to different sample groups were analyzed to screen out events that have a high likelihood of involving visual distraction. The study is built upon the lead author's previous work presented at the 3rd International Conference of Road Safety and Simulation. It includes significant refinements in grouping criteria by speed.

T1 - Publicized Sobriety Checkpoint Programs: A Community Guide Systematic Review. JO - American Journal of Preventive Medicine JF - American Journal of Preventive Medicine Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 46 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 529 EP - 539 SN - 07493797 AB - Context: Publicized sobriety checkpoint programs deter alcohol-impaired driving by stopping drivers systematically to assess their alcohol impairment. Sobriety checkpoints were recommended in 2001 by the Community Preventive Services Task Force for reducing alcohol-impaired driving, based on strong evidence of effectiveness. Since the 2001 review, attention to alcohol-impaired driving as a U.S. public health problem has decreased. This systematic review was conducted to determine if available evidence supports the effectiveness of publicized sobriety checkpoint programs in reducing alcohol-impaired driving, given the current context. The economic costs and benefits of the intervention were also assessed. Evidence acquisition: This review focused on studies that evaluated the effects of publicized sobriety checkpoint programs on alcohol-involved crash fatalities. Using Community Guide methods, a systematic search was conducted for studies published between July 2000 and March 2012 that assessed the effectiveness of publicized sobriety checkpoint programs. Evidence synthesis: Fourteen evaluations of selective breath testing and one of random breath testing checkpoints met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review, conducted in 2012. Ten evaluations assessed the effects of publicized sobriety checkpoint programs on alcohol-involved crash fatalities, finding a median reduction of 8.9% in this crash type (interquartile interval=−16.5%, −3.5%). Five economic evaluations showed benefit−cost ratios ranging from 2:1 to 57:1. Conclusions: The number of studies, magnitude of effect, and consistency of findings indicate strong evidence of the effectiveness of publicized sobriety checkpoint programs in reducing alcohol-involved crash fatalities. Economic evidence shows that these programs also have the potential for substantial cost savings.

JO - Geology JF - Geology Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 42 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 399 EP - 402 SN - 00917613 AB - Large-magnitude retroarc shortening of Cretaceous age is well documented in the Sevier orogenic belt of the western United States, and has been associated with eastward Franciscan subduction that began in the Middle-Late Jurassic, but evidence for major Late Jurassic retroarc shortening has been lacking. Here we report new Lu-Hf garnet geochronology, pressure-temperature (P-T) paths, and 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology data that document tectonic burial of Late Jurassic age in a Barrovian metamorphic terrain, the Funeral Mountains metamorphic core complex, California, located in the hinterland of the Sevier orogenic belt. The P-T paths determined from growth-zoned garnets in upper greenschist facies pelitic schist show steep P-T trajectories consistent with metamorphism during thrust loading. The age of thrust loading is constrained by a five-point Lu-Hf garnet isochron to be 158.2 ± 2.6 Ma (2σ). Partial exhumation, recorded in 146-153 Ma 40Ar/39Ar muscovite cooling ages, closely followed garnet growth. Late Jurassic Barrovian metamorphism has not been previously recognized in Cordilleran metamorphic core complexes, possibly due to being obscured by Late Cretaceous to Tertiary deformation, magmatism, and metamorphism. This study finds that the period of large-magnitude crustal shortening in the retroarc extended into the Late Jurassic, and may have closely followed the formation of the coherent orogenic system associated with east-dipping Franciscan subduction.

Annual condition surveys are conducted for NOS. Currently, the structural number (SN) of flexible pavements is computed using the American association of state highway and transportation officials equation based on the centre and fifth sensor deflections of a falling weight deflectometer (FWD). However, a rolling wheel deflectometer (RWD) can be used to collect deflection data at the network-level. This study was conducted to see whether the SN of flexible pavements can be obtained from this RWD deflection and NOS condition survey results. In this study, FWD deflection data, collected from 1998 to 2006, were analysed. Multiple regression analysis was done. The results showed that there is a negative relationship between SN and centre deflection. Equations can be used to calculate SN based on FWD (or RWD) centre deflections and network-level condition survey results. The SN is more sensitive to centre deflection than the total pavement thickness.

Despite the important role that they play in maintaining safety and their ubiquitous nature, barrier inspection rarely moves beyond visual inspection. In august 2008, a tractor-trailer fatally departed William Preston Lane, Jr. Memorial Bridge after it dislodged a section of the bridge barrier. Investigations following the accident identified significant corrosion of the anchor bolts attaching the bridge railing to the bridge deck. As a result of the information gathered during its investigation of the accident, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) made recommendations to the Federal Highway Administration concerning Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) of concrete bridge railings. The Center for nondestructive evaluation (NDE) at Turner Fairbank Highway Research Center in McLean, VA is currently evaluating feasibility of using four technologies -- ground penetrating radar (GPR), ultrasonic pulse-echo, digital radiography and infrared thermal imaging methods to develop bridge inspection methods that augment visual inspections, offer reliable measurement techniques, and are practical, both in terms of time and cost, for field inspection work. Controlled samples containing predefined corrosion levels in reinforcing steel were embedded at barrier connection points for laboratory testing. All four NDE techniques were used in the initial phase I testing. An inspection protocol for detecting and measuring the corrosion of reinforced steel embedded in the anchorage system will be developed as part of phase II research. The identified technologies shall be further developed for field testing utilizing a structure with a barrier in good condition and a structure with a barrier in poor condition.

JO - Journal of Safety Research JF - Journal of Safety Research Y1 - 2014/02// VL - 48 M3 - Article SP - 19 EP - 25 SN - 00224375 AB - Abstract: Introduction: A computer-based version of an established neuropsychological paper-and-pencil assessment tool, the Trail-Making Test, was applied with approximately 700 drivers aged 70 years and older in offices of the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration. Method: This was a volunteer sample that received a small compensation for study participation, with an assurance that their license status would not be affected by the results. Analyses revealed that the study sample was representative of Maryland older drivers with respect to age and indices of prior driving safety. The relationship between drivers' scores on the Trail-Making Test and prospective crash experience was analyzed using a new outcome measure that explicitly takes into account error responses as well as correct responses, the error-compensated completion time. Results: For the only reliable predictor of crash risk, Trail-Making Test Part B, this measure demonstrated a modest gain in specificity and was a more significant predictor of future safety risk than the simple time-to-completion measure. Impact on industry: Improved specificity and the potential for autonomous test administration are particular advantages of this measure for use with large populations, in settings such as health care or driver licensing.

JO - Cement & Concrete Composites JF - Cement & Concrete Composites Y1 - 2014/01// VL - 45 M3 - Article SP - 102 EP - 110 SN - 09589465 AB - Abstract: The transport of fluid and ions in concrete mixtures is central to many aspects of concrete deterioration. As a result, transport properties are frequently measured as an indication of the durability that a concrete mixture may be expected to have. This paper is the second in a series investigating the performance of high volume fly ash (HVFA) mixtures with low water-to-cementitious ratios (w/cm) that are internally cured. While the first paper focused on strength and shrinkage, this paper presents the evaluation of the transport properties of these mixtures. Specifically, the paper presents results from: rapid chloride migration (RCM), rapid chloride penetration test (RCPT), apparent chloride diffusion coefficient, surface electrical resistivity, and water absorption. The test matrix consisted of mortar samples with two levels of class C fly ash replacement (40% and 60% by volume) with and without internal curing provided with pre-wetted lightweight fine aggregates (LWA). These mixtures are compared to plain ordinary portland cement (OPC) mortars. The results indicate that HVFA mixtures with and without internal curing provide benefits in terms of reduced transport coefficients compared to the OPC mixtures.

The SOM was constructed in such a way that the prototype vectors represented vehicle-following stimuli (the follower's velocity, relative velocity, and gap) while the output signals represented the response (the follower's acceleration). Vehicle trajectories collected at a northbound segment of Interstate 80 Freeway at Emeryville, CA, were used to train the SOM. The trajectory information of two selected pairs of passenger cars was then fed into the trained SOM to identify similar stimuli experienced by the followers. The observed responses, when the stimuli were classified by the SOM into the same category, were compared to discover the interdriver heterogeneity. The acceleration profile of another passenger car was analyzed in the same fashion to observe the interdriver heterogeneity. The distribution of responses derived from data sets of car-following-car and car-following truck, respectively, was compared to ascertain inter-vehicle-type heterogeneity.

This recommendation has prompted other organizations and agencies, including the National Safety Council, to evaluate and consider supporting this action. In order to determine the scientific and legal feasibility and advisability of lowering or establishing 0.05 per se laws, we examined 554 alcohol-related publications. Risk factors, instrument reliability, law enforcement, and adjudication issues were considered in this overview of the literature. The extensive scientific literature reviewed provides ample support for lowering the operation of motor vehicle alcohol limits to 0.05, and for supporting the NTSB recommendations. Research clearly demonstrates that impairment begins at very low concentrations, well below the recommended NTSB limit, and increases with concentration. Lowering the limit to 0.05 will save many lives and prevent injuries. Breath, blood, and saliva samples have proved to be accurate and reliable specimens for legal acceptability in a court of law.

The data used for this report consist of 5316 flight files, collected during the 2008 and 2009 fire seasons. Flights have been divided into multiple phases, separating the segments when retardant is dropped from others. Basic flight parameters such as airspeed, altitude, flight duration and distance, bank, and pitch angles are shown in statistical form. Vertical accelerations are used to construct V - n diagrams for comparison with the manufacturers' data. Airframe cycle times are shown to be approximately 45 min. Several coincident flight events are shown and compared with operational limits when available. The altitudes, the normal accelerations, and the airspeeds have not revealed any operation outside of the established boundaries. Relatively large dive and roll angles were prominently present during all but the drop phases. Nonetheless, they are shown to remain within the limits stated by the manufacturer or imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration type certificate data sheets. Cumulative occurrences of maneuver loads have been examined and compared with data from other sources when available. It is shown that the cumulative occurrences of maneuver load factor varies by flight phase, with the largest values associated with the drop and exit phases. For the overall flight, maneuver loads were shown to occur at lower frequencies than those stated in Military specification MIL-A-8866C(AS).

JO - Accident Analysis & Prevention JF - Accident Analysis & Prevention Y1 - 2013/12// VL - 61 M3 - Article SP - 10 EP - 22 SN - 00014575 AB - Abstract: Naturalistic driving studies provide an excellent opportunity to better understand crash causality and to supplement crash observations with a much larger number of near crash events. The goal of this research is the development of a set of diagnostic procedures to define, screen, and identify crash and near crash events that can be used in enhanced safety analyses. A way to better understand crash occurrence and identify potential countermeasures to improve safety is to learn from and use near crash events, particularly those near crashes that have a common etiology to crash outcomes. This paper demonstrates that a multi-stage modeling framework can be used to search through naturalistic driving data, extracting statistically similar crashes and near crashes. The procedure is tested using data from the VTTI 100-car study for road departure events. A total of 63 events are included in this application. While the sample size is limited in this empirical study, the authors believe the procedure is ready for testing in other applications.

Nonlinear solitary waves are compact non-dispersive waves that can form and travel in nonlinear systems such as one-dimensional chains of particles, where they are conventionally generated by the mechanical impact of a striker. These waves have a constant spatial wavelength and their speed, amplitude, and duration can be tuned by modifying the particles’ material or size, or the velocity of the striker. In the study presented in this article we investigated numerically the interaction between solitary waves propagating along a chain of granular particles and a slender beam. Some of the numerical findings were validated experimentally. We found that the geometric and mechanical properties of the beam or thermal stress applied to the beam alter certain features of the solitary waves. In the future, these findings may be used to develop a novel sensing system for the nondestructive assessment of beams.

Properly accounting for ground type in modeling can increase accuracy in noise impact determinations and noise abatement design. Pavement-specific effective flow resistivity values are being investigated for inclusion in the Federal Highway Administration Traffic Noise Model, which uses these values in the sound propagation algorithms and currently applies a single effective flow resistivity value to all pavement. Pavement-specific effective flow resistivity values were obtained by applying a modified version of the American National Standards Institute S1.18 standard. The data analysis process was tailored to allow for increased sensitivity and extraction of effective flow resistivity values for a broad range of pavements (sound absorptive to reflective). For porous pavements (sound absorptive), it was determined that examination of the measured data can reveal influence from an underlying structure. Use of such techniques can aid in the design of quieter pavements.

JO - Journal of Aircraft JF - Journal of Aircraft Y1 - 2013/11//Nov-Dec2013 VL - 50 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1886 EP - 1895 SN - 00218669 AB - In recent years, North American civil airworthiness authorities have conducted research to develop the allowance times for aircraft operations in ice-pellet precipitation. These allowance times are critical to ensure the safety and efficient operation of commercial and cargo flights. Wind-tunnel testing with uncontaminated antiicing fluids and fluids contaminated with simulated ice pellets has been carried out to better understand the flowoff characteristics and resulting aerodynamic effects. The percent lift loss was determined at an 8 deg angle of attack and used as one of the evaluation criteria in determining the allowance times. This paper describes how the lift loss was related to the loss in the maximum lift of a Boeing 737-200ADV airplane through the aerodynamic acceptance test performed for fluids qualification. A loss in the maximum lift coefficient of 5.24 % on the B737-200ADV airplane (which was adopted as the threshold in the aerodynamic acceptance test) corresponds to a lift loss of 7.3% on the test model at an 8 deg angle of attack. A statistical analysis was performed to account for data scatter in the correlation and indicated that the upper limit of lift loss on the test model was 9.2 %. Therefore, for cases resulting in lift loss from 7.3 to 9.2 %, extra scrutiny of the visual observations is required for evaluating fluid performance with contamination and establishing appropriate allowance times.

Taxi-out delays affect airlines' on-time performance by increasing the time aircraft have to spend on the tarmac. This, in turn, is likely to strain available airport capacity and result in propagated delays throughout the National Airspace System. This paper utilises reliability analysis, also called survival analysis, to understand how the resilience of taxi-out delays is likely to generate airport congestion. This analysis is useful for aviation practitioners who are seeking to set an acceptable level of service at an airport given demand for service and available capacity.

SN - 13886150 AB - Pyrolysis models for burning solids in fire simulations are sensitive to the values of the activation energy, frequency factor, and reaction order that characterize the thermal decomposition of the solid to gaseous fuel, so direct measurement of these kinetic parameters is recommended, and simple methods are preferred. Three direct methods were evaluated with regard to the ability of their kinetic parameters to reproduce the thermal decomposition of five polymers measured by differential thermogravimetric analysis using the reaction order model. It was found that the two multiple heating rate methods produced identical, physically based kinetic parameters, while the peak property method produced non-physical kinetic parameters. However, all of these kinetic parameters in a single-step reaction order model gave reasonably good conversion histories for non-charring and moderately charring polymers. For a highly charring polymer, the conversion histories were poorly described without a multiple step reaction. The temperature at the maximum rate of conversion was found to be essentially independent of the reaction order, which decouples the frequency factor from the reaction order in the direct kinetic methods. Any of the direct methods are sufficiently accurate to obtain kinetic parameters for pyrolysis models because of the inherent spatial and temporal averaging of reaction rates at the burning surface of a thick solid and the uncertainty in the heat transfer mechanisms and thermo-physical parameters used in the models.

Volunteers also completed surveys to document their health, driving habits, and impressions of the DHI. Volunteers reported strong agreement with statements that indicated that they believe the DHI measures abilities important for safe driving and that they would be willing to listen to advice about driving and safe mobility from medical professionals; however, responses to some items were more positive among drivers whose DHI results indicated no apparent loss of function that could impair driving. These results support the use of the DHI in clinical practice as a tool to raise awareness of factors that correlate to driving; however, further research will be necessary to investigate how the DHI may benefit diverse clinical populations. Experiences with using DHI as part of clinical practice are also discussed.

JO - BMC Medical Genomics JF - BMC Medical Genomics Y1 - 2013/09// VL - 6 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 16 SN - 17558794 AB - Background: As part of the civil aviation safety program to define the adverse effects of ethanol on flying performance, we performed a DNA microarray analysis of human whole blood samples from a five-time point study of subjects administered ethanol orally, followed by breathalyzer analysis, to monitor blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to discover significant gene expression changes in response to the ethanol exposure. Methods: Subjects were administered either orange juice or orange juice with ethanol. Blood samples were taken based on BAC and total RNA was isolated from PaxGene™ blood tubes. The amplified cDNA was used in microarray and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analyses to evaluate differential gene expression. Microarray data was analyzed in a pipeline fashion to summarize and normalize and the results evaluated for relative expression across time points with multiple methods. Candidate genes showing distinctive expression patterns in response to ethanol were clustered by pattern and further analyzed for related function, pathway membership and common transcription factor binding within and across clusters. RT-qPCR was used with representative genes to confirm relative transcript levels across time to those detected in microarrays. Results: Microarray analysis of samples representing 0%, 0.04%, 0.08%, return to 0.04%, and 0.02% wt/vol BAC showed that changes in gene expression could be detected across the time course. The expression changes were verified by qRT-PCR. The candidate genes of interest (GOI) identified from the microarray analysis and clustered by expression pattern across the five BAC points showed seven coordinately expressed groups. Analysis showed function-based networks, shared transcription factor binding sites and signaling pathways for members of the clusters. These include hematological functions, innate immunity and inflammation functions, metabolic functions expected of ethanol metabolism, and pancreatic and hepatic function. Five of the seven clusters showed links to the p38 MAPK pathway. Conclusions: The results of this study provide a first look at changing gene expression patterns in human blood during an acute rise in blood ethanol concentration and its depletion because of metabolism and excretion, and demonstrate that it is possible to detect changes in gene expression using total RNA isolated from whole blood. The analysis approach for this study serves as a workflow to investigate the biology linked to expression changes across a time course and from these changes, to identify target genes that could serve as biomarkers linked to pilot performance.

The work was motivated by the importance of these effects on fire safety in the aviation industry. Measurements were obtained in a mass loss calorimeter inside a large 10m3 pressure vessel capable of reaching pressures as low as 0.1atm. The PMMA flammability was characterized by measuring the burning rate and the time to ignition of small test samples. These were ignited and burned under different external heat fluxes, total pressures and oxygen concentrations. The combined effects of pressure and oxygen concentration on the burning rate, combustion flow field, and ignition were evaluated. Results showed that at low pressure, the burning rate was less intense with a decrease in the mass loss rate. However, the reduction in pressure caused a shortened ignition delay time. Experimental measurements were compared with a simple analytical model showing good agreement. The results also show how pressure and oxygen concentration contributed to the heat transfer from the flame. The model revealed that a single function in oxygen and pressure could account for both flame radiative and convective effects. As a result, a power law fit was obtained for the relation of the combined pressure and oxygen effect on the burning rate. This correlation shows a good agreement with the measurements and predicts the burning rate behavior for the full range of pressure and oxygen tests.

JO - Fire Safety Journal JF - Fire Safety Journal Y1 - 2013/08// VL - 60 M3 - Article SP - 14 EP - 24 SN - 03797112 AB - Abstract: The present work explores the extent to which the time-dependent mass loss rate of four common thermoplastics, polypropylene, polyamide 6,6, polyoxymethylene, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), when exposed to pure radiant heat flux, can be predicted from first principles. The material properties which control the mass loss, and are required for input to the numerical models, are measured in independent laboratory tests, and presented. The mass loss rate for each polymer is measured in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) gasification device and predicted using two numerical models for pyrolysis: the NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) model Thermakin. For three of the polymers, the models often gave results in very close agreement with each other, and in good agreement with those of the experiments for most of the mass loss period. Nonetheless, for PET, the agreement was good only in the initial stages of heating and mass loss, when less than 3% of the mass loss had occurred, and for POM, good agreement required a different value of the heat of reaction (from the one measured for this polymer). Parametric analyses are used to explore the influence of each measured parameter on the mass loss rate and the agreement between modeling and the experiments, and to explain discrepancies between the modeling and experiment when they exist.

In 2000, an infinite element method was added to the NIKE3D program to simulate the infinitely deep subgrade. Using infinite elements efficiently can reduce the total number of elements, thereby saving the computational time. However, some computational results from the current infinite element formulation are questionable. Errors have been identified in the current mapping and shape functions of infinite elements. A new finite element formulation based on the improved mapping functions and shape functions has been developed and added to the NIKE3D program. The improved program allows meshing pavement foundation with traditional compatible elements, while using incompatible elements to the other layers with flexure deformations for more accurate analysis. In order to reduce geometric effects from meshing infinite elements, and errors arising from coupling of finite and infinite elements, a decay function is proposed and calibrated to the airport pavement application. The analytical results and other finite element programs, such as ABAQUS, are used for the comparison and verification of improvements.

JO - Journal of Construction Engineering & Management JF - Journal of Construction Engineering & Management Y1 - 2013/07// VL - 139 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 977 EP - 986 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 07339364 AB - In the last decade, the state departments of transportation in the US have experienced an increase in their construction projects, while the level of their in-house inspection staff and resources has either remained the same or declined. Previous studies have found that one strategy that may reduce the inspection workload is prioritizing construction activities for inspection. However, reducing the number of inspections also has its risks, such as functional failures and reduced design life. Thus, available inspection resources should be allocated to the activities with significant risk consequences if inspection is reduced. The objective of this paper is to develop a risk-based inspection protocol to facilitate efficient allocation of available inspection resources to minimize the risks associated with reduced inspection. First, the risk consequences associated with reduced inspection are identified for various construction activities linked to transportation projects. Based on data collected from 23 state departments of transportation, 58 engineers and inspectors from the Indiana Department of Transportation and 20 inspection consultants in the Midwest, the subjective perceived probabilities associated with the occurrence of each risk consequence are encoded by using fuzzy analysis, from which the risk impacts due to reduced inspection are obtained. The construction activities are prioritized based on the risk impacts associated with reduced inspection into five priority levels. The greater the risk impacts are as a result of reduced inspection, the higher the priority would be for inspection of that activity. Thus, the proposed protocol can be used for resource allocation based on risk impacts. The proposed list of prioritized construction activities can assist project and program managers in state departments of transportation in better allocating their limited inspection resources while reducing the risks due to reduced inspection.

Until the 2007 National Roadside Survey (NRS), the prevalence of drugs among drinking drivers on U.S. roads was unknown. Using NRS data, we explore how many drivers with positive BrACs may also be using drugs and their significance to current drinking-driving enforcement procedures. Methods: Based on a stratified, random sample covering the 48 U.S. contiguous states, we conducted surveys on weekend nights from July–November 2007. Of the 8384 eligible motorists contacted, 85.4% provided a breath sample; 70.0%, an oral fluid sample; and 39.1%, a blood sample. We conducted regression analyses on 5912 participants with a breath test and an oral fluid or blood test. The dependent variables of interest were illegal drugs (cocaine, cannabinoids, street drugs, street amphetamines, and opiates) and medicinal drugs (prescription and over-the-counter). Results: 10.5% of nondrinking drivers were using illegal drugs, and 26 to 33% of drivers with illegal BrACs (≥0.08g/dL) were using illegal drugs. Medicinal drug use was more common among nondrinking drivers (4.0%) than among drivers with illegal BrACs (2.4%). Conclusions: The significant relationship between an illegal BrAC and the prevalence of an illegal drug suggests as many as 350,000 illegal drug-using drivers are arrested each year for DWI by U.S. alcohol-impaired driving enforcement. These drug-using drivers need to be identified and appropriate sanctions/treatment programs implemented for them in efforts to extend per se laws to unapprehended drug users.

JO - Journal of Safety Research JF - Journal of Safety Research Y1 - 2013/06// VL - 45 M3 - Article SP - 47 EP - 53 SN - 00224375 AB - Abstract: Introduction: Medically at-risk drivers come to the attention of licensing authorities through referrals from a variety of sources, including: physicians, family members, court systems, and law enforcement. A recently sponsored project by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration examined a training intervention for law enforcement to increase their awareness of medical conditions and medications that impair driving and the procedures for reporting these drivers in Virginia. Method: A component of this project included an evaluation of the medical review process and licensing outcomes for 100 drivers randomly selected from a pool of over 1,000 drivers referred from law enforcement officers to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles over a 6-month period in 2007 and 2008 prior to any training program intervention. Results: Key findings from the evaluation of 100 drivers referred for medical review by law enforcement were as follows. Over two-thirds of the drivers came to the attention of the referring officer because they were involved in a crash. The most prevalent indications of a medical condition or functional impairment provided by law enforcement for these referrals were: loss of consciousness, blackout, or seizures (28%); disorientation, confusion, and mental disability (16%); and physical impairments (8%). Eighty-eight percent of the drivers received some type of licensing action (e.g., restriction, suspension, or periodic review). Only 12% of the referred drivers did not require any licensing action. Conclusions: Law enforcement provides a vital role in the identification and referral of medically impaired drivers to licensing authorities for reexamination. Training programs can inform law enforcement officers of the signs of medical impairment (both on-road behavior, and physical and psychological clues once a driver has been pulled over), and procedures for reporting their observations and concern for safety to licensing authorities. Impact on Industry: Reexamination of drivers with functional and medical impairments and any consequent restrictions and/or periodic reporting requirements can improve the safety and mobility of these drivers, and the motoring public as well.

JO - Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association (Taylor & Francis Ltd) JF - Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association (Taylor & Francis Ltd) Y1 - 2013/06// VL - 63 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 724 EP - 736 SN - 10962247 AB - Near-road dispersion modeling with CAL3QHC has traditionally been accomplished by assuming vehicles are either idling in queue links or flowing freely in cruise links. With the introduction of the new mobile-source emissions model MOVES, second-by-second activity patterns can be used to produce emission factors (EFs) that vary by vehicular modal activity, that is, acceleration, deceleration, idle, and cruise. By using these EFs in unique modal links in CAL3QHC input files, the predicted concentration of pollutants near roadways can be modeled with greater precision in regard to real-world intersection vehicle behavior. It is noted that this work does not include any comparisons with real-world monitored data, and thus only the precision and not the accuracy of the proposed method is addressed. This work poses the question of how best to include modal links into near-road dispersion modeling. Specifically, it examines dividing acceleration and deceleration segments into multiple sublinks for greater resolution. It is shown that such an approach can produce much higher CO predictions at an intersection (up to 400% higher) compared with the current cruise-and-idle-links modeling approach. A method of dividing links by increments of speed change is suggested. The method relies upon obtaining EFs from standstill to various cruise speeds (or from cruise speed to stopped) and using those results to obtain position-specific acceleration (or deceleration) EFs needed for dispersion modeling inputs. Acceleration EFs (in g/mile) are an order of magnitude larger than cruise EFs; deceleration EFs are smaller than cruise EFs. The number of sublinks used to model one acceleration link makes a difference in the predicted concentrations. MOVES can produce erratic EFs when longer links are broken into smaller sublinks.

Our study was designed to determine possible benefits of pre-exposure to EE in preventing functional deficits following traumatic brain injury (TBI) to the prefrontal cortex. To examine the benefit of EE, adult male rats were placed in an enriched environment for 15 days. Enrichment was provided through social interaction, exercise, olfactory stimulation, and new objects/toys to explore. Following enrichment, experimental and age-matched controls were subjected to a moderate medial prefrontal cortex injury via controlled cortical impact (CCI). After 1 week recovery, animals were behaviorally tested to assess memory, anxiety, and sensory neglect. Lesion-induced deficits in spatial memory [Morris water maze (MWM)] were significantly attenuated in EE pre-exposed rats 18-21 days following injury. In addition, TBI-induced sensory neglect was significantly reduced in EE rats relative to non-enriched animals. No differences in anxiety-like behavior on the elevated plus maze (EPM) were detected. The behavioral data suggest that EE is neuroprotective when applied prior to TBI, resulting in improved recovery following injury.

The purpose of this study was to identify a better binder fatigue test. Six asphalt binders with a variety of modifiers were characterized using five asphalt binder tests, including the , elastic recovery test, the multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR) test, the linear amplitude sweep (LAS) test, and the double edge notch tension (DENT) test in this study. Additionally, the push-pull asphalt mix fatigue test was employed to verify these binder fatigue tests. Comparing the results of the binder tests and the asphalt mix push-pull test, this study further confirmed the poor performance of the parameter to differentiate binder fatigue resistance. It was also found that neither the MSCR nor the LAS test showed good correlation with asphalt mix fatigue resistance. Finally, it was identified that both the DENT and the elastic recovery binder fatigue tests provided the same ranking as the asphalt mix fatigue test. The DENT test is recommended for characterizing asphalt binder fatigue resistance, because it is more fundamentally based than the fully empirical elastic recovery test. Obviously, these findings are based on laboratory tests only, so further field validation is needed. Additionally, one needs always to keep in mind that the binder alone does not determine fatigue life of a pavement structure, and other factors such as traffic and environment are also important.

The specific objective of this paper is to quantify the relationship between crash rates, sight distance parameters, and operating speeds to present an approach to establishing performance-based standards that highway practitioners can adopt in roundabout design. Geometric, traffic, and crash data were collected on 72 approaches to 19 low-volume single-lane roundabouts in six states. The data for these sites were broken into two groups based on the posted speed limit (at and greater than ). In addition, the associations between different sight distance parameters, crash parameters, and operating speed data were investigated. The research findings provided insight into relating the operational and safety effects of sight distance geometry at roundabouts. This research also identified a methodology that provides guidance as to the development of performance-based standards that rely on a better understanding of these relationships. In general, the research findings were consistent with previously conducted studies and indicated that exceeding sight distance thresholds increases the risk of crashes occurring. It was also found that exceeding sight distance thresholds yielded greater speed differentials between the approach and the entry to these roundabouts. The results of this research can advance the state of practice in understanding the relationships of sight distance design attributes, operational characteristics, and safety metrics for low-volume single-lane roundabouts, which is necessary to the creation of performance-based standards.

JO - Transportation Letters JF - Transportation Letters Y1 - 2013/04// VL - 5 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 55 EP - 66 SN - 19427867 AB - Despite recent advances in freight and commercial vehicle modeling, the current state of the practice methods are not adequate to address the increasingly complex issues related to freight demand. This project includes research that has combined tour based truck models and logistics supply chain models for urban commercial vehicle movements and that has demonstrated a functional model framework that addresses the limitations of current freight demand forecasting models. The research was performed by Resource Systems Group Inc., in partnership with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning and the University of Illinois at Chicago. The project introduced a model framework and focused on the estimation of each of the model components, described the approach to linking the models together in the model application, and presented initial results from applying the model in the Chicago region. The models were estimated for demonstration purposes from several sources, since there were no datasets that could support all aspects of the new framework. To make the demonstration more practical, two commodities were chosen to model from the data available (food products and manufactured products). The models developed for the project were applied using software developed in R, an open source platform. A data collection program to support the estimation, calibration, and forecasting of the framework for future use was recommended. Further efforts to improve this framework with new data, model improvements, and forecasts would be welcome.

The first publicly charted optimized profile descent procedure was implemented at Los Angeles International Airport in December 2007. This new flight procedure was designed so that aircraft could conduct arrival and approach operations with the engines remaining at or near minimum idle power settings; thereby, saving an average of 25 gal of jet fuel per flight when compared to the various aircraft types conducting an arrival and approach along the same lateral path at Los Angeles International Airport. This optimized profile descent translates into annual reductions of approximately 2,000,000 gal of jet fuel and 41,000,000 lb of carbon dioxide emissions. Given the positive environmental benefits of an optimized profile descent, there are several projects underway to increase the use of environmentally friendly arrival procedures within the national airspace system. The aforementioned achievement at Los Angeles International Airport has motivated and enabled new optimized profile descent procedure designs for Atlanta, Miami, Charleston, and Phoenix.

This volunteer sample received a small compensation for study participation, with an assurance that their license status would not be affected by the results. A comparison with all older drivers who visited the same sites on the same days indicated that the study sample was representative of Maryland older drivers with respect to age and prior driving safety indices. Relationships between drivers’ scores on a computer touchscreen version of the Maze Test and prospective crash and serious moving violation experience were analyzed. Results identified specific mazes as highly significant predictors of future safety risk for older drivers, with a particular focus on non-intersection crashes.

The success of efforts to increase use is measured by road side observations and self-report questionnaires. These methods have shortcomings, with the former requiring a binary point estimate and the latter being subjective. The 100-car naturalistic driving study presented a unique opportunity to study seat belt use in that seat belt status was known for every trip each driver made during a 12-month period. Drivers were grouped into infrequent, occasional, or consistent seat belt users based on the frequency of belt use. Analyses were then completed to assess if these groups differed on several measures including personality, demographics, self-reported driving style variables as well as measures from the 100-car study instrumentation suite (average trip speed, trips per day). In addition, detailed analyses of the occasional belt user group were completed to identify factors that were predictive of occasional belt users wearing their belts. The analyses indicated that consistent seat belt users took fewer trips per day, and that increased average trip speed was associated with increased belt use among occasional belt users. The results of this project may help focus messaging efforts to convert occasional and inconsistent seat belt users to consistent users.

This study combined fixed-site and mobile air quality measurements with laboratory wind tunnel experiments to examine how the transport and dispersion of traffic-emitted pollutants varies with changing roadway configuration, notably with at-grade and cut section designs. Results of the study indicated that short-term maximum concentrations occurred with measurements made along at-grade locations, however, average concentrations tended to be higher at the top of the cut section compared with the at-grade location, most often occurring during lower air pollutant events. Wind flow and NO2/NO x ratios indicated that the cut section moderated peak concentrations through increased transport and dispersion, as well as reducing the influence of turbulence from vehicle activity near the road. The at-grade locations also experienced a higher impact from primary vehicle emissions than those measurements made at similar distances along a cut section. Mobile monitoring suggested that these peak concentrations quickly conformed to concentration levels measured near cut sections within 50–100 m of the source highway. Wind tunnel simulations of the study site with and without the cut section present indicated that the cut section reduced the concentrations of primary emitted vehicle pollutants by 15–25 percent for receptors located approximately 20 m from the highway. The wind tunnel simulations also revealed that buildings and other urban features influenced local-scale pollutant transport and need to be considered when evaluating near-road air quality.

Predictability also plays a significant role in ensuring a successful transition from air traffic control to a managed air traffic system. Yet, predictable block times are all the more difficult to achieve as the on-time execution of a flight may be constrained by three types of delay which airlines cannot control: induced, propagated and random. This paper proposes a methodology based on the Box-Jenkins models to measure the predictability of block times as an alternative to variance or standard deviation of block delays. The padding of schedules and the timeliness of flight plans are likely to bias the variation in block delays as an indicator of predictability.

IC produces massive amounts of geospatial data with 100% coverage of the compacted area in real time, which needs to be effectively analyzed and managed for quality control and acceptance (QC/QA). Accordingly, in this paper a systematic method using both the univariate and geo-statistical modeling techniques was developed for the IC data analysis and management. A data extraction method was proposed to categorize and extract IC data on different layer levels. Consequently, linear regression was performed to correlate IC Measurement Values (ICMVs) with random spot measurements. The semivariogram model was studied to evaluate the compaction uniformity, and the compaction curve was developed to identify the optimum number of roller passes. The systematic method with multiple statistical models was coded for numerical solutions, and demonstrated for eight HMA IC projects. Results indicate that compaction uniformity improves “from the ground, up”: subbase, HMA base, and then surface course. The compaction curve can help set the compaction target for QC/QA. ICMV has shown consistent linear correlations with spot measured deflections and material modulus, but it has inconsistent correlations with densities. Multivariate correlations indicate that multiple factors, including the ICMV of underlying layers and temperatures of HMA, affect the ICMV of the HMA layer.

However, at lower heat fluxes, and in other small-scale flammability tests, it is difficult to obtain consistent results. PEEK polymer has been modified with different types of carbon nanotubes (CNT), leading to modest improvements in the burning behaviour at addition levels between 0.1 and 1%. The characterisation of the composites indicated satisfactory dispersion, modest enhancements in mechanical properties and thermal stability, and reductions of peak heat release rate for the best performing formulations. Significant differences in thermal stability and burning behaviour were observed as a function of the nature of the CNTs, and the loading level within the polymer.

An explicit result is obtained for the maximum reaction rate in a constant heating rate experiment in terms of the thermal properties of the solid, the activation energy of the thermal process, the heat of reaction, the sample mass and the heating rate in the test. The theoretical predictions compare well with numerical simulations and experimental data for polyoxymethylene and polystyrene obtained by two different thermal analysis methods using three different instruments over a wide range of sample mass and heating rate. Based on these results, an accuracy criterion for thermal analysis measurements is proposed that is consistent with recommended practices.

In a sequence of flights operated by the same tail-numbered aircraft, delays at one airport are likely to accumulate and have ripple effects on others downstream. Propagated delays are stochastic and have multiple causes which, in turn, make it difficult for airlines to build a reliable and robust schedule. This paper examines propagated delays in terms of a root delay in flight sequences. It compares propagated delays between hub and point-to-point airports as well as between legacy and low-cost carriers.

The investigation focused on identifying the causes of pavement failures, examining the pavement structural and functional performances, and measuring within-section layer thicknesses and material properties. In addition, the investigation addressed the potential effects of overlay thickness and overlay materials used (recycled and virgin asphalt) and the extent of surface preparation (minimum and intensive) on pavement performance. Destructive and nondestructive tests were conducted following the long-term pavement performance (LTPP) program test protocols. The main pavement distresses identified in the test sections included fatigue cracking, longitudinal cracking, transverse cracking, rutting, block cracking, and pumping. Based on the observations of the coring and trenching operations, most of the cracks were top-down cracks exhibiting high severity at the top and low severity at the bottom of the layer. Wheelpath rutting was observed in the overlay layer only, and virtually no rutting was detected in the lower layers. The maintenance activities (fog seals and crack sealing) applied over the years appeared to have reduced the propagation of fatigue and transverse cracks temporarily and did not significantly improve the postrehabilitation structural performance. While all sections performed well compared with the virgin asphalt overlay, the recycled overlay test sections exhibited the largest postrehabilitation rate of increase in roughness and rutting (with thinner overlays) over their monitoring period. Pavement deterioration was not associated with the base and subgrade layers. The extent of distress was also found to be associated with high binder content and air voids.

In this paper, the safety effect of wider edge lines was examined by analyzing crash frequency data for road segments with and without wider edge lines. The data from three states, Kansas, Michigan, and Illinois, have been analyzed. Because of different nature of data from each state, a different statistical analysis approach was employed for each state: an empirical Bayes, before-after analysis of Kansas data, an interrupted time series design and generalized linear segmented regression analysis of Michigan data, and a cross sectional analysis of Illinois data. Although it is well-known that causation is hard to establish based on observational studies, the results from three extensive statistical analyses all point to the same findings. The consistent findings lend support to the positive safety effects of wider edge lines installed on rural, two-lane highways.

For validation, gasification apparatus and cone calorimeter tests are conducted. The main focus is on the influence of residue formation. Therefore, poly (butylene terephthalate) (PBT) and PBT reinforced with glass fibres (PBT-GF) are investigated and compared. PBT decomposes almost completely, while PBT-GF forms residue. The materials are characterised in order to provide suitable input parameters. Additionally the total incident heat flux to the sample is measured. With accurate input parameters, FDS and ThermaKin predicted the pyrolysis behaviour of PBT very well. Only some limitations are identified regarding the residue-forming PBT-GF. Both numerical simulation tools demonstrate a high value regarding the assessment of parameters’ relative impacts and thus the evaluation of optimisation routes in polymer and composite development.

The paper addresses the different challenges related to the successful development and implementation of the system for pavement application. The novel module consists of a miniaturized battery-less wireless sensor capable of detecting the long-term strain history of the pavement structure. It is based on the integration of piezoelectric transducers with an array of ultra-low power floating gate computational circuits. The paper is split into four sections. First, a summary of the development of the sensor electronics is provided. Then, a description of the development of a reliable packaging system that ensures structure integration of the sensor, reasonable survivability under construction conditions, and longevity in harsh environments, is presented. Also, a damage prediction algorithm to estimate the remaining life of the pavement from the sensor output data is discussed. Finally, the use of a probabilistic based interpolation technique for the estimation of full field strain distributions, using measured data from a limited number of implemented sensors, is investigated in the context of exploring the feasibility of large networks deployment.

Fourteen cure cycles were designed to study a wide range of curing pressures, curing temperatures, and two different vacuum-application durations, including vacuum vented at recommended pressure and vacuum held throughout the cure cycle. The results showed that the SBS strength did not vary significantly over a relatively wide range of curing temperatures and pressures if vacuum was vented at recommended curing pressure; however, after a certain point, a decreasing trend in the SBS strength was observed by reducing the curing temperature and pressure. The C-scan images of panels cured with the vacuum held throughout the cure cycles revealed presence of a high-porosity cross-shaped defect at the center of the panels. The observed defect became larger as the curing pressure decreased. The correlation between the SBS strength and the void content was studied using theoretical models and experimental data. The investigation of the failure modes for each panel showed a change in both the H/W and the RT/D failure mechanism as a result of variation in curing temperature and pressure.

Temperature at any depth in a rigid pavement system can be estimated by using the proposed solution with input data such as pavement layer thicknesses, material thermal properties, and the measured air temperature and solar radiation intensities. The associated initial boundary value problem is governed by the classic heat conduction equation with the air temperature and solar radiation considered in the surface boundary condition. Interpolatory trigonometric polynomials, based on the method of discrete least-squares approximation, are used to fit the measured air temperature and solar radiation intensities during a user-defined time period. The relationship between the constants of integration for the th layer and the first layer are deduced, which simplifies the solution process. Model validation with the measured data confirms that the proposed solution generates a reasonable temperature profile in the concrete slab of a four-layer rigid pavement system during two different time periods of the year.

We consider a collaborative SoS, which forms through the apparent voluntary decisions of its component systems. However, many collaborative SoS do not possess the intellectual capacity to make human-like decisions. To understand the formation of SoS better, properties are modeled mathematically. An agent-based model (ABM) simulation validates the model via a mock chemical reaction of atoms forming molecules. In the engineering and management of these systems, this information allows better decisions that support or deny SoS formation.

A candidate feedstock is assigned a FSRL level from 1 through 9, indicating an increasing level of maturity towards commercialization. The FSRL level also communicates the state of development of a feedstock concurrent with its readiness for use with a conversion process. There are four components to the FSRL (production, market, policy, and linkage to conversion process), each with one to four tollgate descriptions per readiness level. The FSRL tool was structured to complement the Fuel Readiness Level (FRL) tool in use by the aviation industry as an internationally recognized communication best practice. Similarly, the FSRL can be used to identify gaps in any feedstock supply chain designed for any biofuel or conversion process that provides a market for feedstocks. This integrated feedstock and conversion technology approach can facilitate a coordinated allocation of resources to effectively plan for and develop a viable aviation biofuels industry.

The scattering results because of reflections at grain boundaries and discontinuities in the microstructure. The acoustoelastic response of individual grains due to temperature and stress gradients has a direct influence on the strength of the scattering. Measurements of mechanically-induced uniaxial compressive stress on a rail section and thermal stresses within continuously welded rail (CWR) were performed. It was found that this technique can produce measurement resolution of at least 10-4/MPa.

T1 - Influences of intelligent compaction uniformity on pavement performances of hot mix asphalt JO - Construction & Building Materials JF - Construction & Building Materials Y1 - 2012/05// VL - 30 M3 - Article SP - 746 EP - 752 SN - 09500618 AB - Abstract: Conventional pavement analysis and design methods are based on the homogeneous or uniform material model such including the multi-layered analysis program and AASHTO design methods. With the Intelligent Compaction (IC) technology on hot mix asphalt (HMA) involved in recent years, the compaction uniformity of material property can be quantified. This paper intends to study the effects of compaction uniformity on pavement performances using the Bomag IC E vib – a measurement of elastic moduli with 100% coverage of the compaction area. The three dimensional (3-D) finite element (FE) model was built to simulate pavement responses with the heterogeneous HMA moduli derived from the field IC measurements. Then the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guideline (M-E PDG) models were used to predict HMA performances of rutting and fatigue life. The geostatisical semivariogram model was studied to evaluate the uniformity of predicted performances. Different from conventional pavement analysis and designs, spatial-distributed heterogeneous moduli of the asphalt layer were considered in this work. Results show that spatial uniformity of material moduli affects pavement performances in terms of the distress severity and uniformity. Less uniform material moduli result in higher rutting depths and shorter fatigue lives. For the case study in this paper, the mean and peak values of fatigue lives for the heterogeneous model are 38.2% and 0.1% of those for the uniform model. A pavement section with overall lower material moduli does not necessarily correspond to inferior performances as the effects from uniformity of material property may dominate other factors. Therefore, it is recommended that the uniformity of pavement layer properties that emulate the typically more variable service condition be considered in future pavement designs and performance predictions.

A 20-year design life pavement stretching 11.27-km-long section of 4-lane Highway 53, in Lake County, California is considered for this project level study. Three M&R strategies available in the CalME program were evaluated including, Extended Pavement Preservation (EPP), Preservation-Preservation-Rehabilitation (PPR), and Rehabilitation only (R). These strategies are applied as certain levels of distresses (rutting and cracking) are reached. The California-customized RealCost LCCA program was also employed to compare the various M&R strategies using the Equivalent Uniform Annual Cost (EUAC). LCCA demonstrated that EPP was the best economical alternative to maintain the pavement in a good usable condition for as long as 80 years of service. The methodology employed in this paper also demonstrated that extended life pavement may be achieved from a 20-year design by selecting the optimal preservation techniques and optimizing their time of application.

The model inputs are pavement layer thicknesses, thermal conductivity and diffusivity of layer materials, average initial pavement temperatures along pavement depths, and measured pavement surface temperature data. The main mathematical tools employed in deriving the analytical solution of pavement layer temperature predictions are the Laplace transform and numerical inverse Laplace transform. Measured in situ temperature data from a two-layer flexible pavement system demonstrate that the derived analytical solution generates reasonable temperature profiles in the asphalt concrete layer. The main advantages of the proposed algorithm are that it can rapidly predict the pavement temperature profile when the thermal conductivity and diffusivity values of the layer material are selected and the surface temperature data are measured at end points of each equally spaced time interval. Climatic data, such as air temperature, solar radiation intensity, and wind speed, are not needed to implement this algorithm. This algorithm can be applied to assist field engineers in estimating temperature profiles in a multilayered pavement system for the period during which falling weight deflectometer (FWD) tests are performed.

An earlier study on poly(aryl ether ether ketone) (PEEK) has showed that the fire performance parameters of this thermoplastic change noticeably when exposed to moisture prior to test. The present research is a follow-up study where a series of cone calorimetry tests are conducted on conditioned PEEK specimens to analyze the previously reported ignition time scatter and its relation to surface bubble formation. Pyrolysis modeling is, subsequently, carried out, to relate the moisture content with the model parameters and to explain the possible physical mechanisms that cause the difference in ignition times between wet and dry samples.

JO - International Journal of Pavement Engineering JF - International Journal of Pavement Engineering Y1 - 2012/04// VL - 13 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 126 EP - 136 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 10298436 AB - Asphalt concrete pavements for commercial airport applications in the USA are constructed according to guidelines in Item P-401, ‘Plant Mix Bituminous Pavements’, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular 150/5370-10E. Item P-401 specifies the material characteristics and construction requirements for airport asphalt pavements, but does not currently provide guidance for using the Superpave gyratory compactor (SGC) in the preparation of specimens used in the design of hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures. Nearly all state departments of transportation in the USA use the SGC along with the Superpave mix design procedure. Since most HMA mixes are used in roadways, many asphalt contractors no longer maintain expertise and equipment for conducting the Marshall mix design procedure currently used by the FAA. The lack of contractors familiar with the Marshall method may become a significant problem for the FAA in the future. This paper describes a laboratory study of the HMA mix design for airport pavements, which uses the SGC. The purpose of the study was to determine the number of gyrations with the SGC needed to design asphalt pavement mixtures for airports. A value of 70 gyrations is recommended for further evaluations based on the comparisons of volumetric measurements of HMA mixture specimens compacted using Marshall compaction with specimens from the same mixture compacted using Superpave gyratory compaction.

These improvements include the use of new operational procedures as well as new technologies and infrastructure. The impact of NextGen improvements on the efficiency of the ATS and on user and service provider business objectives is of interest to multiple stakeholders. In particular, ramp and taxiway congestion, and taxiway and runway construction projects at airports have made it necessary for analysts to understand surface operations with greater precision. In this paper, the authors introduce aviation practitioners to the concept of Petri Nets for performance analysis of airport surface operations. Together with high fidelity flight surface movement data from the ASDE-X system installed at New York John F. Kennedy International airport (one of a number of airports with this capability), they show how Petri Nets may be used to derive measures of congestion, runway throughput and utilisation, to present stakeholders with the necessary information to make informed planning decisions.

Therefore, toxicological findings in such pilots (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2) were examined in a data set derived from the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute's (CAMI's) Scientific Information System for 1990-2005. Aeromedical histories of these aviators were retrieved from the CAMI medical certification and toxicology databases, and the cause/factors in the related accidents from the National Transportation Safety Board's database. In 311 of the 889 pilots, carbon monoxide, cyanide, ethanol, and drugs were found, and glucose and hemoglobin A1c were elevated. Of the 889 pilots, 107 had an obesity-related medical history. The health and/or medical condition(s) of, and/or the use of ethanol and/or drugs by, pilots were the cause/factors in 55 (18%) of the 311 accidents. Drugs found were primarily for treating obesity-related medical conditions such as depression, hypertension, and coronary heart disease.

Functional near infrared (fNIR) spectroscopy is a field-deployable non-invasive optical brain monitoring technology that provides a measure of cerebral hemodynamics within the prefrontal cortex in response to sensory, motor, or cognitive activation. In this paper, we provide evidence from two studies that fNIR can be used in ecologically valid environments to assess the: 1) mental workload of operators performing standardized (n-back) and complex cognitive tasks (air traffic control — ATC), and 2) development of expertise during practice of complex cognitive and visuomotor tasks (piloting unmanned air vehicles — UAV). Results indicate that fNIR measures are sensitive to mental task load and practice level, and provide evidence of the fNIR deployment in the field for its ability to monitor hemodynamic changes that are associated with relative cognitive workload changes of operators. The methods reported here provide guidance for the development of strategic requirements necessary for the design of complex human–machine interface systems and assist with assessments of human operator performance criteria.

Phosphorus dynamics and community shift in response to hydrological and seasonal scenarios JO - Ecological Modelling JF - Ecological Modelling Y1 - 2011/12/10/ VL - 222 IS - 23/24 M3 - Article SP - 3942 EP - 3956 SN - 03043800 AB - Fires have been proposed as one of the important options to manage and restore degraded wetlands through changing nutrient regimes; however, their effects on nutrient dynamics and community shift have not been studied sufficiently. In this study, wetland ecosystem model (WEM) was enhanced by incorporating plant competition, and applied to a moderately phosphorus-enriched area in the Everglades with a mixed cattail (Typha domingensis) and sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense) community. The WEM model was first validated by comparing simulated results against field observations, and applied to evaluate the effects of multiple surface fires on phosphorus (P) dynamics and the structure of a mixed cattail and sawgrass community. The simulation results indicated that a single fire could substantially alter the P dynamics in surface water for nearly two months, while multiple fires within a two-year interval, regardless of season, could cause a shift of plant community structure, expressed as a desirable increase in sawgrass and a decrease in cattail. After the successive fires, the biomass and composition of recovering plant community did not reach the pre-fire level within six years. Regardless of season, the fires conducted under the low-water-depth condition, compared with the high-water-depth condition, yielded stronger effects on P dynamics in soil, surface water, porewater, and on the plant community composition. Regardless of water depths, February fires, compared to July fires, caused a stronger shift in plant community structure expressed as a decrease in cattail biomass and an increase in sawgrass biomass. Regardless of seasons and water depths, fires caused a short-term increase and long-term decline in total phosphorus (TP) concentration in soil, surface water, and porewater. These results might suggest that the winter fires, under low-water-depth appear to be the best fire management option for accelerating recovery of a cattail-dominated wetland to a sawgrass-dominated wetland. In the proposed fire and hydrological regimes, four fires at two-year intervals generated the maximum suppressing effect on cattail, and the maximum stimulating effect on sawgrass. The results of this study support the concept that fire could be used as an option to manage plant composition and dominance. However, further process-based studies are necessary to explore additional fire regimes and hydrological scenarios to maintain sawgrass over cattail.

Among all the delamination detection methods, acoustic methods have the advantages of being fast and inexpensive. In traditional acoustic inspection methods, the inspector drags a chain alone or hammers on the bridge deck and detects delamination from the 'hollowness' of the sound. The signals are often contaminated by ambient traffic noise and the detection of delamination is highly subjective. This paper describes the performance of an impact-based acoustic NDE method where the traffic noise was filtered by employing a noise cancelling algorithm and where subjectivity was eliminated by introducing feature extraction and pattern recognition algorithms. Different algorithms were compared and the best one was selected in each category. The comparison showed that the modified independent component analysis (ICA) algorithm was most effective in cancelling the traffic noise and features consisting of mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) had the best performance in terms of repeatability and separability. The condition of the bridge deck was then detected by a radial basis function (RBF) neural network. The performance of the system was evaluated using both experimental and field data. The results show that the selected algorithms increase the noise robustness of acoustic methods and perform satisfactorily if the training data is representative.

JO - Journal of Transportation Engineering JF - Journal of Transportation Engineering Y1 - 2011/11// VL - 137 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 796 EP - 804 PB - American Society of Civil Engineers SN - 0733947X AB - Many sources of uncertainty are inherent in pavement design. These uncertainties must be incorporated systematically in a reliability analysis to compute their combined effects on the probability of failure of a given pavement structure. Monte Carlo simulation has been the technique of choice in the past to simulate the effects of uncertainties in input parameters on pavement distress and the resultant reliability analyses. The impractical computational time associated with a Monte Carlo scheme, however, has prompted the deferral of the implementation of similar techniques in the current Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). Instead, the reliability analysis implemented in the current MEPDG is performed on the basis of a simple assessment of the overall standard error of the predicted distress compared to the observed distress of the long-term pavement performance (LTPP) sections. It relies on a set of predetermined variability values obtained from a performance database instead of the site-specific input parameters that induce such uncertainty in distress predictions. Past efforts found that techniques (such as the Latin hypercube method) that require a substantially reduced number of simulations compared with Monte Carlo accuracy still suffered from the need for repeated execution of the MEDPG calculations. This study proposes to combine an efficient numerical scheme to conduct statistical simulations with the MEPDG calculations. It makes use of the concept of the representative linear elastic (LE) structure to minimize the number of repeated executions involved in simulations. The numerical scheme can be combined with any simulation technique of random variables to perform a reliability analysis of flexible pavements. The relative merits of Monte Carlo simulation, Latin hypercube simulation, and Rosenblueth's 2K+1 point-estimate method are compared. The simulations show that the Latin hypercube method is an efficient alternative to the computationally intensive Monte Carlo technique. On the other hand, although Rosenblueth's 2K+1 point-estimate method is much simpler, it is not capable of capturing the important attributes of the distribution of either input or output variables.

Existing technology does not allow for continuous long-term monitoring and network level deployment. Long-term monitoring of mechanical loading for pavement structures could reduce maintenance costs, improve longevity, and enhance safety. In this article, on-going research to develop and validate a smart pavement monitoring system is described. The system mainly consists of a novel self-powered wireless sensor based on the integration of piezoelectric transduction with floating-gate injection capable of detecting, storing, and transmitting strain history for long-term monitoring and a novel passive temperature gauge. A technique for estimating full-field strain distributions using measured data from a limited number of implemented sensors is also described. The ultimate purpose is to incorporate the traffic wander effect in the fatigue prediction algorithms. Preliminary results are shown and limitations are discussed.

Methods and Results: The ResPlex II assay was first tested for its ability to detect inactivated viruses applied to new filter material; all 18 applications of virus at a high concentration were detected. The ResPlex II assay was then used to test for 18 respiratory viruses on 48 used air filter samples from commercial aircraft. Three samples tested positive for viruses, and three viruses were detected: rhinovirus, influenza A and influenza B. For 33 of 48 samples, internal PCR controls performed suboptimally, suggesting sample matrix effect. Conclusion: In some cases, influenza and rhinovirus RNA can be detected on aircraft air filters, even more than 10 days after the filters were removed from aircraft. Significance and Impact of the Study: With protocol modifications to overcome PCR inhibition, air filter sampling and the ResPlex II assay could be used to characterize viruses in aircraft cabin air. Information about viruses in aircraft could support public health measures to reduce disease transmission within aircraft and between cities.

A major problem is the almost total absence of expansion joints that can create severe issues such as buckling in hot weather and breakage in cold weather. A related critical parameter is the rail Neutral Temperature (NT), or the temperature at which the net longitudinal force in the rail is zero. In June 2008 the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), under the sponsorship of a Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Office of Research and Development (R&D) grant, began work to develop a technique for in-situ measurement of NT and detection of incipient buckling in CWR. The method under investigation is based on ultrasonic guided waves, and the ultimate goal is to build and test a prototype that can be used in motion. A large-scale full rail track (70 feet in length) has been constructed at UCSD's Powell Structural Laboratories, the largest laboratories in the country for structural testing, to validate the NT measurement and buckling detection technique under rail heating conditions well controlled in the laboratory. This paper reports on the status of this project, including proof-of-principle results of stress measurement and buckling detection on a steel I-beam, and initial test results from the large-scale rail testbed at the Powell Labs. These results pave the road for the future development of the rail NT/buckling detection prototype.

The pavement distress, in terms of transverse cracking, is expected to be minimised when the transient temperature difference is equal in magnitude to the built-in temperature difference but of the opposite sign. However, this study shows that a built-in temperature difference of - 6.5°C minimises the cracking prediction for JPCPs. This optimum value of - 6.5°C coincides with the default value in the MEPDG of - 5.5°C, which was established through the nationwide calibration. The cause of this phenomenon is further investigated by taking into account the traffic loading time, slab thickness, joint spacing and reversible shrinkage, but none of these factors are able to explain this anomaly. The results from this study indicate that the built-in gradient should not be an input but is merely a calibration constant. A comparison between predictions using the measured and default built-in temperature difference again supports that it is better characterised as a calibration constant.

To find h, one has to simultaneously solve governing equations for conservations of mass, momentum, and energy. This task may prove too challenging for contemporary undergraduate students. In the present study, we propose a heat convection length, Δs, which can greatly simplify the analysis, yet allow the convection characteristics to be retained. Classical examples for laminar boundary-layer air flows driven by forced convection or free convection over flat plates with length L are presented. For forced convection, Δs/L is found to be 2.026 for a wide range of Re; for free convection, Δs/L is found to be 2.511 for various Gr values.

JO - International Journal of Pavement Engineering JF - International Journal of Pavement Engineering Y1 - 2011/04// VL - 12 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 111 EP - 119 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 10298436 AB - Hot-mix asphalt (HMA) sampling is a critical step in quality control and quality assurance (QC/QA) programmes to ensure that the tested material is representative of the installed product. Samples of HMA in illinois are currently taken from a truck at the plant. This sampling method allows for a quick turnaround time because the QC laboratory is usually located at the plant. However, it may be difficult to obtain a representative sample because most of the sample is taken from the top of the pile and from the side closest to the sampling platform. In addition, this sampling method does not account for any additional asphalt absorption taking place during transportation and placement. The concept of moving the sample location to the job site offers the potential to address the weaknesses cited above. However, there are a number of different approaches, each with advantages and disadvantages. The objective of this study was to provide a review of successful methods and practices currently used to sample HMA during production and installation. This included visiting other states and collecting sufficient data to draw a final recommendation for the optimum technique to be adopted for HMA sampling in illinois. The conclusion of the field visits was that sampling behind the paver is being successfully conducted by many states without difficulty. On the basis of the presented review of methods and practices currently used to sample HMA during production and installation, this study recommends that the level of variability between the samples obtained from different sampling techniques should be quantified. The level of variability as well as the practical aspects of the different sampling techniques as identified in this study should be used to support the selection of one of the presented methods and its possible implementation in illinois.

A case study of the Chicago metropolitan area airports using dynamic panel data analysis. JO - Journal of Airport Management JF - Journal of Airport Management Y1 - 2011/04//Apr-Jun2011 VL - 5 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 269 EP - 281 SN - 17501938 AB - In this study, dynamic panel data analysis focuses on whether the operational conditions that underlie congestion and delays have changed over five summers (when traffic and delays are at their peak) and within the same group of airports, that is, Chicago O'Hare International (ORD), Chicago Midway (MDW), Gary/Chicago International (GYY) and Milwaukee Mitchell International (MKE). Panel data analysis can help to determine whether any change in delays is the result of random or fixed effects. The panel compared the total minutes of gate arrival delay by each summer (time period) and by airport (cross-section variable) as a function of lagged gate arrival delay minutes, arrival demand, arrival volume, taxi-in times and percentage of airport capacity utilised. These variables are usually key factors in congestion and delays. The study reveals that the four airports were mostly subject to fixed effects. This implies that delay reduction initiatives should consider secondary airports in the overall strategy to address congestion and delays at the main hub airports.

T1 - Resolution of aviation forensic toxicology findings with the aid of DNA profiling JO - Forensic Science International JF - Forensic Science International Y1 - 2011/03/20/ VL - 206 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 81 EP - 86 SN - 03790738 AB - Abstract: Body components of aviation accident fatalities are often scattered, disintegrated, commingled, contaminated, and/or putrefied at accident scenes. These situations may impose difficulties in victim identification/tissue matching. The prevalence of misidentification in relation to aviation accident forensic toxicology has not been well established. Therefore, the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) toxicology database was searched for the 1998–2008 period for those cases wherein DNA profiling was performed to resolve identity issue of the samples submitted to CAMI for toxicological evaluation. During this period, biological samples from the casualties of a total of 3523 accidents were submitted to CAMI. The submitted samples were primarily from pilots. Out of the 3523 accidents, at least, one fatality had occurred in 3366 (≈96%) accidents; thus, these accidents were considered fatal accidents. Accordingly, biological samples from 3319 pilots (3319 of the 3366 accidents) were received at CAMI for toxicological testing. Of these 3319 pilots, 3275 (≈99%) were fatally injured. DNA profiling was performed in 15 (≈0.5%) of the 3319 accidents. The profiling was conducted upon the requests of families in two accidents, accident investigators in three, and pathologists in four. In six accidents, contradictory toxicological findings led CAMI to initiate DNA profiling. The requests made by families and investigators were primarily triggered by inconsistency between the toxicological results and the history of drug use of the victims, while by pathologists because of commingling of samples. In three (20%) of the 15 accidents, at least one submitted sample was misidentified or mislabeled. The present study demonstrated that the number of aviation accident cases requiring DNA profiling was small and this DNA approach was effectively applied in resolving aviation toxicology findings associated with those accidents.

The evolution of regulatory frameworks is traced, from uni-dimensional hours of service regulations through to frameworks that enable multi-dimensional FRMS. These regulatory changes reflect advances in understanding of human error in the aetiology of accidents, and in fatigue and safety science. Implementation of FRMS shifts the locus of responsibility for safety away from the regulator towards companies and individuals, and requires changes in traditional roles. Organizational, ethnic, and national culture need to be considered. Recent trends in the work environment have potential to adversely affect FRMS, including precarious employment and shortages of skilled labour. Essential components of an FRMS, and examples of FRMS in different transport modes, are described. It is vital that regulators, employer, and employees have an understanding of the causes and consequences of fatigue that is sufficient for them to meet their responsibilities in relation to FRMS. While there is a strong evidence base supporting the principles of FRMS, experience with implementation is more limited. The evidence base for effective implementation will expand, since FRMS is data-driven, and ongoing evaluation is integral. We strongly advocate that experience be shared wherever possible.

Because one of the primary research issues of interest—the degree to which the installation of interlocks in offenders'' vehicles reduces alcohol-impaired driving in comparison to alternative sanctions (primarily license suspension)—was addressed by a 2004 systematic review conducted for the Cochrane Collaboration, the current review incorporates that previous work and extends it to include more recent literature and crash outcomes. The body of evidence evaluated includes the 11 studies from the prior review, plus four more recent studies published through December 2007. The installation of ignition interlocks was associated consistently with large reductions in re-arrest rates for alcohol-impaired driving within both the earlier and later bodies of evidence. Following removal of interlocks, re-arrest rates reverted to levels similar to those for comparison groups. The limited available evidence from three studies that evaluated crash rates suggests that alcohol-related crashes decrease while interlocks are installed in vehicles. According to Community Guide rules of evidence, these findings provide strong evidence that interlocks, while they are in use in offenders'' vehicles, are effective in reducing re-arrest rates. However, the potential for interlock programs to reduce alcohol-related crashes is currently limited by the small proportion of offenders who participate in the programs and the lack of a persistent beneficial effect once the interlock is removed. Suggestions for facilitating more widespread and sustained use of ignition interlocks are provided.

Fourteen field-produced mixtures at various traffic levels and aggregate sizes were evaluated and compared to those of field rutting. These mixtures were collected from job sites and compacted with a Superpave gyratory compactor to imitate the common air void level used in Mich., which is 7%. Dynamic modulus E* was measured at temperatures ranging from -5 to 39.2°C and frequencies ranging from 0.1 to 25 Hz. The results show that the dynamic modulus values increased when the designed traffic level for HMA mixtures increased. The field rutting performance was evaluated based on theoretical pavement rutting life index. Two parameters, |E*| and |E*|/sin(φ), were compared to the theoretical pavement rutting index. Based upon the preliminary study, it was found that E* was a suitable parameter in comparing the field and laboratory performance. Preliminary |E*| criteria for Mich. were prepared based upon the contractor's warranty criteria consisting of the theoretical pavement rutting life index, and the collected traffic survey data. In addition, sigmoidal master curves were constructed using all minimum |E*| data in order to meet the practitioners' needs.

Due to the geometrical complexity of the rail cross-section, the analytical solution to the wave propagation in the rail is not feasible. A Semi Analytical Finite Element method is described as an alternative yet still robust approach to get the solution of the problem. The free-vibration solution and the forced solution to a laser excitation of the rail head are shown up to a frequency of 500kHz. The effects of different loading patterns are discussed, and experimental results are provided. The analysis allows for the identification of certain wave modes potentially sensitive to specific types of rail head defects.

Therefore, decision-makers and stakeholders are seeking policies, technologies, and operational procedures that balance environmental and economic interests. The main objective of this paper is to address shortcomings in current decision-making practices for aviation environmental policies. We review knowledge of the noise, air quality, and climate impacts of aviation, and demonstrate how including environmental impact assessment and quantifying uncertainties can enable a more comprehensive evaluation of aviation environmental policies. A comparison is presented between the cost-effectiveness analysis currently used for aviation environmental policy decision-making and an illustrative cost–benefit analysis. We focus on assessing a subset of the engine NO X emissions certification stringency options considered at the eighth meeting of the International Civil Aviation Organization’s Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection. The FAA Aviation environmental Portfolio Management Tool (APMT) is employed to conduct the policy assessments. We show that different conclusions may be drawn about the same policy options depending on whether benefits and interdependencies are estimated in terms of health and welfare impacts versus changes in NO X emissions inventories as is the typical practice. We also show that these conclusions are sensitive to a variety of modeling uncertainties. While our more comprehensive analysis makes the best policy option less clear, it represents a more accurate characterization of the scientific and economic uncertainties underlying impacts and the policy choices.

JO - Experimental Mechanics JF - Experimental Mechanics Y1 - 2010/12/15/ VL - 50 IS - 7 M3 - Article SP - 867 EP - 876 SN - 00144851 AB - This work presents a repeatable semi circular bending (SCB) fracture test to evaluate the low temperature fracture resistance of asphalt mixture. The fracture resistance of six asphalt mixtures, which represent a combination of factors such as binder type, binder modifier, aggregate type, and air voids, and two testing conditions of loading rate and initial notch length, was evaluated by performing SCB fracture tests at three low temperatures. Fracture energy was calculated from the experimental data. Experimental results indicated strong dependence of the low temperature fracture resistance on the test temperature. Experimental plots and low coefficient of variation (COV) values from three replicates show a satisfactory repeatability from the test. The results of the analysis showed that fracture resistance of asphalt mixtures is significantly affected by type of aggregate and air void content. Experimental results also confirmed the significance of binder grade and modifier type with relation to cracking resistance of asphalt mixtures. Analysis of result also indicated that both the loading rate and initial notch length had significant effect on the fracture energy at the highest test temperature, whereas the effect was strongly diluted at the two lower temperatures. No clear trend was found with the fracture peak load from either the effect of loading rate or notch length.

The kinetic model was developed to extend experimental physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models for arterial blood concentration of halocarbons, obtained from constant concentration exposure of dogs to time-varying exposure conditions for humans. In the present work, the simplified kinetic model was calibrated using published PBPK-derived arterial concentration histories for constant concentration exposure to several common fire-extinguishing agents. The calibrated kinetic model was then used to predict the blood concentration histories of humans exposed to time-varying concentrations of these fire-extinguishing agents in ventilated compartments and the results were compared with PBPK-derived data for the agents. It was found that the properly calibrated kinetic model predicts human arterial blood concentration histories for time-varying exposures as well as the PBPK models. Consequently, the kinetic model represents an economical methodology for calculating safe human exposure limits for time-varying concentrations of gaseous halocarbon fire-extinguishing agents when only PBPK-derived human arterial blood concentration histories for constant exposure conditions are available.

This tool can potentially be used in QA, acceptance, design and forensic applications in pavement engineering. However, there have been challenges associated with the processing of the 3D X-ray CT images, including: (1) segmentation of aggregates that are in close proximity and (2) processing noisy or poor contrast images. This paper describes image processing methods to overcome these challenges and describes methods for computation of size, location, contact points and orientation of the aggregates in HMA. Validations of the algorithms as well as example computations of contact points and orientation have been presented. A significant increase in the number of contact points with increasing compaction level and preferred orientation perpendicular to the direction of compaction in the gyratory compactor were some of the findings presented in this paper.

In the current study, a model of burning of two widely-used charring and intumescing polymers, bisphenol A polycarbonate and poly(vinyl chloride), was developed and validated. The modeling was performed using a flexible computational framework called ThermaKin, which had been developed in our laboratory. ThermaKin solves time-resolved energy and mass conservation equations describing a one-dimensional material object subjected to external heat. Most of the model parameters were obtained from direct property measurements. The model was validated against the results of cone calorimetry experiments performed under a broad range of conditions. Potential sources of uncertainties in the model parameterization were analyzed.

Once longitudinal barriers are installed along a roadway, however, they often sustain minor damage in various ways. Since barriers are exclusively tested in an undamaged condition, there is very little known regarding the crash performance of barriers that have sustained minor damage. Transportation agencies responsible for deploying and maintaining these barrier systems need a better understanding of damaged barrier performance to make timely and cost-effective barrier maintenance decisions under the constraints of limited resources. This study is believed to be the first evaluation of the crash performance of strong post w-beam barrier that has sustained minor damage. A pendulum impact testing methodology was developed for the evaluation of two-post sections of strong post w-beam barrier. Pendulum tests were then conducted on barrier sections with five types of damage: (1) vertical tear, (2) horizontal tear, (3) splice damage, (4) twisted blockout, and (5) missing blockout. Based on these tests, vertical tears were found to be a significant threat to the structural adequacy of the barrier section with a high likelihood for rail rupture. A missing blockout at the splice location was found to result in marginal performance with one test resulting in a large rail tear at the splice. Mid-span horizontal tears and splice damage, with one of eight bolts lacking bearing capacity, were found to have a less significant threat on the structural adequacy of the barrier. Twisted blockout damage was found to have no effect on the structural crash performance of the strong post w-beam barrier.

JO - Analytical Chemistry JF - Analytical Chemistry Y1 - 2010/09//9/1/2010 VL - 82 IS - 17 M3 - Article SP - 7237 EP - 7248 SN - 00032700 AB - The application of surface analytical techniques such as time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is explored as a means of differentiating between composition C4 plastic explosives (C-4). Three different C-4 samples including U.S. military grade C-4, commercial C-4 (also from the United States), and C-4 from England (PE-4) were obtained and analyzed using both ToF-SIMS and XPS. ToF-SIMS was able to successfully discriminate between different C-4 samples with the aid of principal component analysis, a multivariate statistical analysis approach often used to reduce the dimensionality of complex data. ToF-SIMS imaging was also used to obtain information about the spatial distribution of the various additives contained within the samples. The results indicated that the samples could potentially be characterized by their 2-D chemical and morphological structure, which varied from sample to sample. XPS analysis also showed significant variation between samples, with changes in the atomic concentrations, as well as changes in the shapes of the high-resolution C 1s and O 1s spectra. These results clearly demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing both ToF-SIMS and XPS as tools for the direct characterization and differentiation of C-4 samples for forensic applications.

JO - Systems Engineering JF - Systems Engineering Y1 - 2010/09// VL - 13 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 298 EP - 310 SN - 10981241 AB - The strategic objective of a test and evaluation (T&E) organization is to detect defects, which must be fixed prior to system deployment in order to meet the operational needs and achieve customer satisfaction. Numerous process improvement models have been developed and applied to address the issue of preventing “critical” defects getting to the field. However, the escalating costs of system deployment (especially in government programs), due to critical defects found in the field, continues to be a major quality issue affecting customer satisfaction. The failure of programs to meet quality and performance objectives has been shown to be related to inadequate planning and an ineffective program management strategy. Thus, for a T&E organization, the program management strategy can greatly influence overall performance goals. While current literature on T&E quality improvement focuses primarily on T&E technical tools, equipment, and processes, little to no attention has been paid to integrating program management into the T&E organization's strategy. We intend to demonstrate in this paper that taking a holistic view of both T&E and program management (PM) activities using the tools of systems thinking can provide new insights to understand and create a more effective T&E execution strategy. Using Boardman's Soft Systems Methodology and Systemigrams (systemic diagrams), we evaluate the unification of a Federal Aviation Administration's T&E program management into its T&E strategy. The resultant Systemigram model represents the alignment of T&E with program management. We conclude with recommendations on how other organizations may modify their T&E execution strategy to achieve better customer satisfaction. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The impact energy needed to fracture an unnotched Charpy specimen in a BFCM test can be two orders of magnitude higher than the typical impact energy of a Charpy V-notch specimen. To predict material failure, a phenomenological, stress triaxiality dependent fracture initiation criterion and a fracture evolution law in the form of strain softening are incorporated in the constitutive relations. The BFCM impact energy results obtained from the FEA simulations compare favorably with the corresponding experimental data. In particular, the FEA predicts accurately the correlations of the BFCM impact energy with such factors as specimen geometry, impactor tup width and material type. The analyses show that a specimen’s progressive deterioration through the thickness dimension displays a range of shear to ductile fracture modes, demonstrating the necessity of applying a stress state dependent fracture initiation criterion. Modeling the strain softening behavior helps to capture the residual load carrying capability of a ductile metal or alloy beyond the onset of damage. The total impact energy can be significantly under predicted if a softening branch is not included in the stress–strain curve. This research supports a study of the puncture failure of railroad tank cars under dynamic impact loading. Applications of the presented fracture model in failure analyses of other structures are further discussed.

Medical evaluations included details and photographs of injury, and on-scene, trauma bay, emergency room, intensive care unit, radiological, operating room, in-patient, and rehabilitation records. Data were synthesized on a case-by-case basis. X-rays, computed tomography scans, and magnetic resonance images were reviewed along with field evaluations of scene and photographs for the analyses of brain injuries and skull fractures. Injuries to the parenchyma, arteries, brainstem, cerebellum, cerebrum, and loss of consciousness were included. In addition to the analyses of severe-to-fatal (AIS4+) injuries, cervical spine, face, and scalp trauma were used to determine the potential for head contact. Fatalities and survivors were compared using nonparametric tests and confidence intervals for medians. Results were categorized based on the mode of impact with a focus on head contact. Out of the 3178 medical cases and 169 occupants sustaining head injuries, 132 adults were in frontal (54), side (75), and rear (3) crashes. Head contact locations are presented for each mode. A majority of cases clustered around the mid-size anthropometry and normal body mass index (BMI). Injuries occurred at change in velocities (ΔV) representative of US regulations. Statistically significant differences in ΔV between fatalities and survivors were found for side but not for frontal impacts. Independent of the impact mode and survivorship, contact locations were found to be superior to the center of gravity of the head, suggesting a greater role for angular than translational head kinematics. However, contact locations were biased to the impact mode: anterior aspects of the frontal bone and face were involved in frontal impacts while temporal–parietal regions were involved in side impacts. Because head injuries occur at regulatory ΔV in modern vehicles and angular accelerations are not directly incorporated in crashworthiness standards, these findings from the largest dataset in literature, offer a field-based rationale for including rotational kinematics in injury assessments. In addition, it may be necessary to develop injury criteria and evaluate dummy biofidelity based on contact locations as this parameter depended on the impact mode. The current field-based analysis has identified the importance of both angular acceleration and contact location in head injury assessment and mitigation.

It adopts the non-destructive testing (NDT) method of pulsed phase thermography (PPT) for the special requirements of CE and cultural heritage. The concept might be understood as a square pulse thermography (SPT) in frequency domain or an amplitude-expanded PPT with square pulse heating. After a discussion of the material spanning concept and qualitative results in cultural heritage a new approach for quantitative non-destructive testing (NDT) of near-surface structures in CE with active thermography is introduced and tested by investigations on concrete specimen with artificial defects. It is based on the thermal diffusivity of the material and the characteristic frequency of the first extrema of phase and amplitude contrast and aims at complementing the established approaches for defect depth calculation for measurements with long heating and observation times. It should be easily extendable to other fields of application.

It was reconstructed through discussions among individuals involved in the processes as well as a review of documentation and feedback on oral presentations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention collaborated extensively with federal and non-federal partners and stakeholders in conducting a rigorous systematic review, using the processes of the Guide to Community Preventive Services to evaluate the body of empirical evidence on 0.08% BAC laws. The timely dissemination of the findings and related policy recommendations—made by the independent Task Force on Community Preventive Services—to Congress very likely contributed to the inclusion of strong incentives to States to adopt 0.08 BAC laws by October 2003. Subsequent dissemination to partners and stakeholders informed decision-making about support for state legislative and policy action. This case study suggests the value of: clearly outlining the relationships between health problems, interventions and outcomes; systematically assessing and synthesizing the evidence; using a credible group and rigorous process to assess the evidence; having an impartial body make specific policy recommendations on the basis of the evidence; being ready to capitalize in briefly opening policy windows; engaging key partners and stakeholders throughout the production and dissemination of the evidence and recommendations; undertaking personalized, targeted and compelling dissemination of the evidence and recommendations; involving multiple stakeholders in encouraging uptake and adherence of policy recommendations; and addressing sustainability. These lessons learned may help others working to translate evidence into policy.

The term paradox is appearing increasingly outside of philosophy, and researchers seek to understand them in common situations. By understanding these phenomena, systems engineers may develop better strategies to deal with them when encountered in business or projects. However, what is meant by the term systems paradox and are there different types? Towards this goal, this paper will present definitions of systems from systems science and paradox from philosophy in a quest to define systems paradox. A paradox that impacts some objective of a system is designated a systems paradox. Then a typology of systems paradoxes will be proposed and described using set theory. Various examples provide a demonstration of the typology.

The displacement data recorded at each joint indicate when and where the joints were formed in the rigid pavement. The strain variations recorded indicate different stress states when a joint was formed some distance away from the gauges vs. close to the gauges. Data and conceptual analysis prove that the recorded strain variations are stress-dependent and reliable. The residual bending stresses measured in the tested slabs before a joint was formed were relatively high, at least in the range of 0.99 MPa (143 psi) to 1.26 MPa (182.2 psi). The existence of residual tensile stresses before a joint is formed may increase the slab's risk of cracking. Therefore, special analysis is needed if traffic loads must be applied on a newly constructed concrete pavement before joint formation.

This study investigates the FPZ of asphalt mixture at low temperature. The fracture process under a semi-circular bend (SCB) test of seven asphalt mixtures that represent a combination of different factors was monitored using an acoustic (AE) system with eight piezoelectric sensors. The size of FPZ was estimated by locating micro-cracks that correspond to 95% AE energy before peak load in the vicinity of the initial crack tip. The experimental data illustrates the significant influence of test temperature on the behavior of the asphalt mixture. Comparison results showed that the size of the FPZ significantly depends on air voids and aggregate type, but is less depend on the asphalt content. It was found that at a very low temperature, different loading rates produced very close FPZ, both for the width and length. No obvious difference was observed on the width of the FPZ for the three different initial notch lengths, whereas the length of the FPZ was found significantly increases with the decrease of the notch length. The size of FPZ was also numerically estimated for one case with the cohesive zone model (CZM) calibrated by experimental data from the same SCB test. The FPZ size obtained with both methods agrees reasonably with each other.

SN - 16182642 AB - This study demonstrates the use of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) to extract and pre-concentrate volatile signatures from static air above plastic explosive samples followed by detection using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) optimized to detect the volatile, non-energetic components rather than the energetic materials. Currently, sample collection for detection by commercial IMS analyzers is conducted through swiping of suspected surfaces for explosive particles and vapor sampling. The first method is not suitable for sampling inside large volume areas, and the latter method is not effective because the low vapor pressure of some explosives such as RDX and PETN make them not readily available in the air for headspace sampling under ambient conditions. For the first time, headspace sampling and detection of Detasheet, Semtex H, and C-4 is reported using SPME-IMS operating under one universal setting with limits of detection ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 ng for the target volatile signatures. The target signature compounds n-butyl acetate and the taggant DMNB are associated with untagged and tagged Detasheet explosives, respectively. Cyclohexanone and DMNB are associated with tagged C-4 explosives. DMNB is associated with tagged Semtex H explosives. Within 10 to 60 s of sampling, the headspace inside a glass vial containing 1 g of explosive, more than 20 ng of the target signatures can be extracted by the SPME fiber followed by IMS detection.

T1 - Increased cannabinoids concentrations found in specimens from fatal aviation accidents between 1997 and 2006 JO - Forensic Science International JF - Forensic Science International Y1 - 2010/04/15/ VL - 197 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 85 EP - 88 SN - 03790738 AB - Abstract: The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) reported a 1.5-fold increase in the delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content of street cannabis seizures from 1997 to 2001 versus 2002 to 2006. This study was conducted to compare the changes, over those years, in blood and urine cannabinoid concentrations with the potency of THC reported in the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids were screened using radioimmunoassay (RIA) for blood and fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) for urine and confirmed using GC/MS. A total of 95 individuals were found to be using cannabis from a total number of 2769 (3.4%) individuals tested over the period 1997 through 2006. Other impairing drugs were found in 38% of the cannabinoids-positive individuals. The mean concentration of THC in blood for 1997–2001 was 2.7ng/mL; for 2002–2006, it was 7.2ng/mL, a 2.7-fold increase in the mean THC concentration of specimens from aviation fatalities, compared to a 1.5-fold increase in cannabis potency reported by the NIDA and ONDCP. The mean age for cannabis users was 40 years (range 18–72) for aviation fatalities. For all blood and urine specimens testing negative for cannabinoids from aviation fatalities, the mean age of the individuals was 50 years (range 14–92). More than half of the fatalities tested were 50 years or older, whereas, 80% of the positive cannabis users were under 50. As indicated by these findings, members of the transportation industry, government regulators, and the general public should be made aware of the increased potential for impairment from the use of high-potency cannabis currently available and being used.

Before operational use, however, concerns were raised about the low scores of incumbent ATCS personnel (who participated in the initial research) and score differences between groups, which could result in adverse impact (possible unfair discrimination). To address these concerns, the subscores of the AT-SAT were reweighted and the constant was changed to yield a new total score. This study found that the new weighting formula has benefited all groups and is likely to reduce the potential of adverse impact.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2010/03// VL - 5 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Background: Emergency Medical Services workers' willingness to report to duty in an influenza pandemic is essential to healthcare system surge amidst a global threat. Application of Witte's Extended Parallel Process Model (EPPM) has shown utility for revealing influences of perceived threat and efficacy on non-EMS public health providers' willingness to respond in an influenza pandemic. We thus propose using an EPPM-informed assessment of EMS workers' perspectives toward fulfilling their influenza pandemic response roles. Methodology/Principal Findings: We administered an EPPM-informed snapshot survey about attitudes and beliefs toward pandemic influenza response, to a nationally representative, stratified random sample of 1,537 U.S. EMS workers from May- June 2009 (overall response rate: 49%). Of the 586 respondents who met inclusion criteria (currently active EMS providers in primarily EMS response roles), 12% indicated they would not voluntarily report to duty in a pandemic influenza emergency if asked, 7% if required. A majority (52%) indicated their unwillingness to report to work if risk of disease transmission to family existed. Confidence in personal safety at work (OR = 3.3) and a high threat/high efficacy (''concerned and confident'') EPPM profile (OR = 4.7) distinguished those who were more likely to voluntarily report to duty. Although 96% of EMS workers indicated that they would probably or definitely report to work if they were guaranteed a pandemic influenza vaccine, only 59% had received an influenza immunization in the preceding 12 months. Conclusions/Significance: EMS workers' response willingness gaps pose a substantial challenge to prehospital surge capacity in an influenza pandemic. ''Concerned and confident'' EMS workers are more than four times as likely to fulfill pandemic influenza response expectations. Confidence in workplace safety is a positively influential modifier of their response willingness. These findings can inform insights into interventions for enhancing EMS workers' willingness to respond in the face of a global infectious disease threat.

T1 - An injury risk curve for the hip for use in frontal impact crash testing JO - Journal of Biomechanics JF - Journal of Biomechanics Y1 - 2010/02/10/ VL - 43 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 527 EP - 531 SN - 00219290 AB - Abstract: To facilitate the assessment of hip injury risk in frontal motor-vehicle crashes, an injury risk curve that relates peak force transmitted to the hip to the probability of hip fracture was developed by using survival analysis to fit a lognormal distribution to a recently published dataset of hip fracture forces. This distribution was parameterized to account for the effect of subject stature, which was the only subject characteristic found to significantly affect hip fracture force (X 2(1)=6.03, p=0.014). The distribution was further parameterized to account for the effects of hip flexion and abduction from a standard driving posture on hip fracture force using relationships between mean hip fracture force and hip flexion/abduction reported in the literature. The resulting parametric distribution was used to define relationships between force applied to the hip and the risk of hip fracture for the statures associated with the small female, midsize male, and large male crash-test dummies, thus allowing these dummies to assess hip fracture/dislocation risk in frontal crashes, provided that such dummies are sufficiently biofidelic. For the midsize male crash test dummy, a 50% risk of hip fracture was associated with a force of 6.00kN. For the small female and large male dummies, a 50% risk of hip fracture was associated with forces of 4.46 and 6.73kN, respectively.

More specifically, this research documents the SP laboratory trial mixture formula (LTMF) design and verification procedures, SP QA specification requirements, field performance of the pilot SP projects, contractor's experiences with placing SP mixtures versus conventional hot mix asphalt mixtures, and modifications made to the Massachusetts SP specifications based on the first SP pilot project. Based on this study, the implementation of SP in Massachusetts has been successful. An effective procedure was developed to verify the contractors proposed SP LTMFs. The QA plan utilised by the Massachusetts Highway Department for acceptance of work has been effective, but data suggested changing some specification limits. Finally, the field performance of the SP mixture in terms of distress has been favourable.

Many of the metrics are data-intensive and require extensive effort to collect data and compute the metrics. Moreover, individual metrics do not capture all aspects of a system that are relevant to sustainability. A pilot project was initiated to create an approach to measure, monitor, and maintain prosperity and environmental quality of a regional system. The goal was to produce a straightforward, inexpensive methodology that is simple to use and interpret. This requires historical data be readily accessible, metrics must be applicable to the relevant scale, and results must meet the needs of decision-makers. Because sustainability is a multidimensional concept, the research group consisted of a multidisciplinary team that identified the major components of an environmental system. We selected metrics to capture the multidimensionality of sustainability in environmental systems and included: (1) emergy to capture the quality-normalized flow of energy through the system; (2) ecological footprint to capture the impact of humans on the system; (3) green net regional product to estimate human prosperity and well being within the system; and (4) Fisher information to capture the dynamic order of the system. We were able to compute metrics for a test geographic region using existing datasets. Preliminary analysis indicates that each metric reveals a somewhat different trend. These preliminary findings support the idea that characterization of sustainability requires a multidisciplinary approach and demonstrate the need to measure multiple aspects of an environmental system.

The testing methods currently used in the industry have significant limitations. Most analytical and testing techniques are not able to measure heat release rate (HRR), the single most important parameter in evaluating the fire hazard of materials. It is difficult to measure HRR of textile fabrics using cone calorimetry because textile fabrics are dimensionally thin samples. The recently developed micro-scale combustion calorimetry (MCC) is able to measure the following flammability parameters for textile using milligram sample sizes: heat release capacity, HRR, temperature at peak heat release rate (PHRR), total heat release and char yield. In this research, we applied MCC to evaluate the flammability of different textile fabrics including cotton, rayon, cellulose acetate, silk, nylon, polyester, polypropylene, acrylic fibers, Nomex and Kevlar. We also studied the cotton fabrics treated with different flame retardants. We found that MCC is able to differentiate small differences in flammability of textile materials treated with flame retardants. We were also be able to calculate the limiting oxygen index (LOI) using the thermal combustion properties of various textile samples measured by the MCC. The calculated LOI data have yielded good agreement with experimental LOI results. Thus, we conclude that MCC is an effective new analytical technique for measuring textile flammability and has great potentials in the research and development of new flame retardants for textiles.

Previous KTH injury risk curves have been developed from analyses of peak knee-impact force data from studies where knees of whole cadavers were impacted. However, these risk curves either neglect the effects of occupant gender, stature, and mass on KTH fracture force, or account for them using scaling factors derived from dimensional analysis without empirical support. A large amount of experimental data on the knee-impact forces associated with KTH fracture are now available, making it possible to estimate the effects of subject characteristics on skeletal KTH injury risk by statistically analyzing empirical data. Eleven studies were identified in the biomechanical literature in which the flexed knees of whole cadavers were impacted. From these, peak knee-impact force data and the associated subject characteristics were reanalyzed using survival analysis with a lognormal distribution. Results of this analysis indicate that the relationship between peak knee-impact force and the probability of KTH fracture is a function of age, total body mass, and whether the surface that loads the knee is rigid. Comparisons between injury risk curves for the midsize adult male and small adult female crash test dummies defined in previous studies and new risk curves for these sizes of occupants developed in this study suggest that previous injury risk curves generally overestimate the likelihood of KTH fracture at a given peak knee-impact force. Future work should focus on defining the relationships between impact force at the human knee and peak axial compressive forces measured by load cells in the crash test dummy KTH complex so that these new risk curves can be used with ATDs.

JO - BMC Medical Genomics JF - BMC Medical Genomics Y1 - 2010/01// VL - 3 M3 - Article SP - 24 EP - 37 SN - 17558794 AB - Background: Gene expression changes resulting from conditions such as disease, environmental stimuli, and drug use, can be monitored in the blood. However, a less invasive method of sample collection is of interest because of the discomfort and specialized personnel necessary for blood sampling especially if multiple samples are being collected. Buccal mucosa cells are easily collected and may be an alternative sample material for biomarker testing. A limited number of studies, primarily in the smoker/oral cancer literature, address this tissue's efficacy as an RNA source for expression analysis. The current study was undertaken to determine if total RNA isolated from buccal mucosa could be used as an alternative tissue source to assay relative gene expression. Methods: Total RNA was isolated from swabs, reverse transcribed and amplified. The amplified cDNA was used in RT-qPCR and microarray analyses to evaluate gene expression in buccal cells. Initially, RT-qPCR was used to assess relative transcript levels of four genes from whole blood and buccal cells collected from the same seven individuals, concurrently. Second, buccal cell RNA was used for microarray-based differential gene expression studies by comparing gene expression between a group of female smokers and nonsmokers. Results: An amplification protocol allowed use of less buccal cell total RNA (50 ng) than had been reported previously with human microarrays. Total RNA isolated from buccal cells was degraded but was of sufficient quality to be used with RT-qPCR to detect expression of specific genes. We report here the finding of a small number of statistically significant differentially expressed genes between smokers and nonsmokers, using buccal cells as starting material. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis confirmed that these genes had a similar expression pattern to results from another study. Conclusions: Our results suggest that despite a high degree of degradation, RNA from buccal cells from cheek mucosa could be used to detect differential gene expression between smokers and nonsmokers. However the RNA degradation, increase in sample variability and microarray failure rate show that buccal samples should be used with caution as source material in expression studies.

The study generated fatigue-based stress severity factors for fastener joints at two different load transfer and mean stress levels. Fatigue tests on open-hole, filled-hole, and load transfer specimens were conducted at mean stress levels of 20.68 and 41.37 MPa, with varying stress ratios to achieve lives ranging between 103 and 106 cycles. The regression-based mean life curves were used to generate the fatigue-based correction factors for hole filling and bearing load transfer as a function of the maximum stress level. The fatigue life of load transfer specimens fell between those of the open-hole and filled-hole configurations. With increasing load transfer and mean stress levels, the fatigue life approached that of the open-hole case. In addition, at stress levels corresponding to fatigue lives in excess of 105 cycles, the failure modes of load transfer specimens transitioned from a net-section failure to a clamp-up-induced fretting failure occurring away from the fastener hole. The stress severity factor associated with the mean life of fastener joints and Hi-Lok filled-hole coupons increased with the maximum fatigue stress level. However, different trends were observed with respect to load transfer at the two mean stress levels used in the study.

The study is based on the cases of the three largest New York area airports for summer (June to August) 2007 and 2008. These airports were selected as they have consistently ranked among the top ten most delayed US airports. A delay propagates if a flight departs late from Airport A, arrives late at Airport B and subsequently departs late from Airport B to its next destination. The results suggest that taxi delays and late gate departures from any New York area airport are difficult to recover, thus increasing the possibility of delay propagation. The study concludes with a discussion of the policy implications of its findings as well as the implications for airline and airport analysts to help minimise delay propagation.

The nanocomposites exhibited improved mechanical properties and flame retardancy. Microscale flammability test showed that the heat release capacity (HRC) and total heat release (THR) were reduced by 21–24% and 16%, respectively. Radiant gasification studies revealed that the exfoliated EVA nanocomposites exhibited better improvements in flame retardant properties of EVA than did the corresponding intercalated nanocomposites. The peak mass loss rate of the exfoliated EVA nanocomposite containing about 5wt% clay was reduced by 80% and the mass loss rate plot was spread over a much longer period of time. The mechanical and flammability tests revealed that the observed improvements in all the desirable properties were due to the presence of both the incorporated polymeric surfactant and the nanoclay.

JO - Forensic Science Review JF - Forensic Science Review Y1 - 2009/07// VL - 21 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 69 EP - 142 SN - 10427201 AB - With GC-MS as the preferred method and isotopically labeled analogs (ILAs) of the analytes as the internal standards (ISs) of choice for quantitative determination of drugs/metabolites in biological specimens, one important aspect associated with chemical derivatization (CD) is that the CD products derived from the analyte and the selected IS must generate ions suitable for designating the analyte and the IS. These ions must not have significant cross-contribution (CC), i.e., ISs' contribution to the intensities of the ions designating the analytes, and vice versa. With this in mind, the authors have reviewed literature and information provided by manufacturers, searching for suitable CD reagents, CD methods, and ILAs of the analytes related to the following 18 benzodiazepines: oxazepam diazepam, nordiazepam, nitrazepam temazepam, clonazepam, 7-aminoclonazepam, prazepam, lorazepam, flun trazepam, 7-aminoflunitrazepam, N-desalkylflurazepam, N-desmethylflunitrazepam, 2-hydroxyethylflurazepam, estazolam, alprazolam, α-hydroxyalprazolam, and α-hydroxytnazolam. These analytes and ILAs were derivatized with various derivatization groups, followed by GC-MS analysis. The resulting mass spectrometric data are systematically presented in two forms: (a) full-scan mass spectra; and (b) CC data of ion-pairs with potential for designating the analytes and their respective ILAs (candidates of ISs in quantitative analytical protocols) Many of these full-scan mass spectra are not yet available in the literature and should be of reference value to laboratories engaged in the analysis of these drugs/metabolites. Full-scan MS data were further used to select ion-pairs with potential for designating the analytes and ISs in quantitative analysis protocols The CC data of these ion-pairs were evaluated using data collected in selected on monitoring mode and systematically tabulated, making the data readily available for analysts searching for this important analytical parameter.

Char yield, heat of combustion and heat release capacity of polymers calculated from their chemical structure using optimized additive molar group contributions were in reasonable agreement with measured values for these properties. The relationship between the thermal combustion properties and the results of standardized flame and fire tests (i.e., flammability) was examined statistically for an expanded data set.

JO - International Journal of Fatigue JF - International Journal of Fatigue Y1 - 2009/06// VL - 31 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1012 EP - 1016 SN - 01421123 AB - Abstract: Fatigue cracking of any kind can significantly reduce the load carrying capability of a structure. Because of this it is considered to be a major threat to structural integrity. Chapter 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) includes specific requirements intended to preclude catastrophic failures due to fatigue. Fatigue cracking may be symptomatic or incidental, localized or at multiple locations. The 14 CFR requirements make no distinction. They are intended to mitigate the strength reducing effects of fatigue regardless of why or how it manifests itself. The Aloha Airlines incident of 1988 was caused by fatigue cracking at multiple locations that could be considered symptomatic. This incident precipitated an avalanche of activities related to symptomatic fatigue cracking at multiple locations. This included research, development and even new rulemaking. In many respects, this cracking was treated like a new phenomena. For many it was seen as a new and singular threat that needed special attention. Consistent with this a new term, “widespread fatigue damage” (WFD), was coined. Is WFD really something new? Does it need special treatment and maybe even its own rule? These questions are considered and it is concluded that WFD is not something new. It is also argued that WFD is and always has been within the scope of existing rules. However, one thing that is missing in the rules is the concept of a “limit of validity” (LOV) of an airplane’s fatigue management program (FMP). The LOV is the cumulative amount of operation beyond which it has not been validated that the FMP will keep the threat of catastrophic failure due to fatigue sufficiently low. The LOV is very much dependent on the fatigue knowledge base that has been acquired at any given time. The lack of an LOV is a deficiency relative to fatigue management in general and not just for what has been labeled WFD. It is concluded that rulemaking is needed to require the establishment of an LOV for certain existing airplane models and future certified ones. Additionally, the existing requirement to provide full-scale fatigue test evidence should not be limited to addressing the threat of WFD but should be required to characterize the fatigue performance of all primary structure in support of establishing an LOV for the FMP.

The prevalence of elevated glucose concentrations in fatally injured pilots was evaluated by searching the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute’s Toxicology Database for the period 1998–2005. Out of 1335 pilots involving 363 vitreous fluid, 365 urine, and 607 vitreous fluid and urine analyses, 43 pilots had elevated glucose in vitreous fluid (>125 mg/dL) and/or in urine (>100 mg/dL). Of the 20 pilots whose blood samples were analyzed, nine had >6% HbA1c—four were known diabetics, and five were unknown diabetics. Urinary glucose levels were elevated in all 13 known hyperglycemic pilots. A considerable number of pilots (30 of 43) had elevated glucose and HbA1c (5 of 20), suggesting undiagnosed/unreported diabetic conditions.

This approach has several major drawbacks, such as only a single structural performance of near collapse is considered, and the simplified approach of adopting strength-based concept to indirectly estimate the nonlinear behavior of a structure lacks accuracy. As a result, performance-based concepts that include a wider variety of structural performance states of a given bridge excited by different levels of earthquake intensity is needed by the engineering community. This paper introduces an improved process for the seismic evaluation of existing bridges. The relationship between the overall structural performance and earthquakes with varying levels of peak ground acceleration (PGA) can successfully be linked. A universal perspective on the seismic evaluation of bridges over their entire life-cycle can be easily obtained to investigate multiple performance objectives. The accuracy of the proposed method, based on pushover analysis, is proven in a case study that compares the results from the proposed procedure with additional nonlinear time history analyses.

This information is maintained by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in the National Bridge Inventory (NBI) database. The NBI contains information on the condition of more than 590×103 bridges, tunnels, and culverts located on public roads. It is one of the most comprehensive sources of long term bridge information in the world. In recent years, a majority of the states have implemented element level inspection programs to support state and local level bridge management programs. A basic limitation of both the NBI and the element level approach is that the data collected relies upon visual inspection techniques. The subjective, variable, and generalized nature of this data makes it less desirable for comprehensive long term life cycle decision support. The research necessary to support the information needs for bridge management for the future, including the routine application of life cycle costing, is a Long Term Bridge Performance (LTBP) program. The LTBP program is an ambitious 20-year research effort that is strategic in nature and has both specific short term and long range goals. The program will include detailed inspection, periodic evaluation and testing, continuous monitoring, and forensic investigation of representative samples of bridges throughout the United States in order to capture and document their performance. This program will result in a high-quality quantitative database for highway bridges that will ensure the value, success, and efficiency of bridge management systems in the future.

Comparisons are made between power car and coach car traction values, L/V ratio, and damage (wear and RCF). The propensity for wheel climb is found to be roughly the same for power car and coach car wheels. The wear and RCF damage, as evaluated through the Tγ index, is about 50% higher for the two power car wheelsets than for the two coach car wheelsets. The peak traction coefficient on the Amtrak system is measured to have a value of about 0.65 at low speeds, declining to about 0.22 at 200km/h. These levels are much higher than those found in the literature for high-speed trains.

Consequently, the airline industry is in turbulent times. Times like these require imaginative thinking, bold strategies and rapid actions. As has unfolded many times before, the industry has demonstrated tremendous resilience, and, as this paper argues, it will once more. This paper provides a brief discussion on the nature of turbulence, outlines major steps that the industry is taking and future prospects, with a special emphasis on the US airline industry.

For 169 of these events, we estimated effective and equivalent dose rates and doses of galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) and solar cosmic radiation (SCR), received by aircraft occupants on simulated high-latitude flights. Dose rate and dose estimates that follow are for altitudes 30, 40, 50, and 60kft, in that order. Mean SCR dose rates were highest 20 January 2005: to an adult, dose rates were 0.10, 0.35, 0.87, and 1.7mSv/h; to a conceptus, doses rates were 0.11, 0.37, 0.89, and 1.6mSv/h. GCR+mean SCR doses were highest 29 September 1989 and 20 January 2005: to an adult, highest doses in 1h were 0.048, 0.16, 0.42, and 0.90mSv; to an adult, highest doses in 10h were 0.20, 0.57, 1.3, and 2.6mSv; to a conceptus, highest doses in 1h were 0.050, 0.17, 0.44, and 0.83mSv; to a conceptus, highest doses in 10h were 0.22, 0.63, 1.4, and 2.4mSv. GCR+anisotropic-high SCR doses were highest 29 September 1989 and 20 January 2005: to an adult, highest doses in 1h were 0.15, 0.52, 1.3, and 2.6mSv; to an adult, highest doses in 10h were 0.29, 0.87, 2.0, and 4.0mSv; to a conceptus, highest doses in 1h were 0.16, 0.55, 1.3, and 2.4mSv; to a conceptus, highest doses in 10h were 0.31, 0.94, 2.1, and 3.7mSv. The dose to an adult was always less than the 20mSv (5-y average) occupational annual limit recommended in 1990 by the International Commission on Radiological Protection. The dose to a conceptus sometimes exceeded the 0.5mSv monthly limit recommended in 1993 by the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements.

However, numerous thermal studies have identified volatile decomposition products and a source for fuel, raising questions regarding the fire hazard of ionic liquids. To address these questions, the flammability properties of imidazolium-based ionic liquids have been measured using cone calorimetry and microscale combustion calorimetry. The combustion data are compared to flashpoints estimated from thermal gravimetric analysis data. The resulting flammability properties of ionic liquids are comparable to aliphatic hydrocarbon plastics (polyethylene and polyamide) and lower than high boiling organic solvents (ethyl lactate and dimethyl sulfoxide). Several structure−property relationships are observed, including alkyl chain length and anion type.

JO - Forensic Science Review JF - Forensic Science Review Y1 - 2008/07// VL - 20 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 75 EP - 173 SN - 10427201 AB - For the quantitation of most drugs and their metabolites, GC-MS is currently the preferred method and isotopically labeled analogs of the analytes are the internal standards (ISs) of choice. Under this analytical setting, chemical derivatization (CD) plays a critical role in the sample preparation process. In addition to meeting the conventional objectives of CD, products derived from the selected CD method must generate ions suitable for designating the analyte and the IS; these ions cannot have significant cross-contribution (CC), i.e., contribution to the intensity of the ions designating the analyte by the IS, and vice versa. With this in mind, the authors have reviewed literature and information provided by manufacturers, searching for suitable CD reagents, CD methods, and isotopically labeled analogs of the analytes related to the following 11 opioids: heroin, 6-acetylmorphine, morphine, hydromorphone, oxymorphone, 6-acetylcodeine, codeine, hydrocodone, dihydrocodeine, oxycodone, and noroxycodone. These analytes and ISs were derivatized with various derivatization groups, followed by GC-MS analysis. The resulting MS data are systematically presented in two forms: (a) full-scan mass spectra; and (b) CC data of ion-pairs with potential for designating the analytes and their respective ISs. Many (if not most) of these full-scan mass spectra are not yet available in the literature and should be of reference value to laboratories engaged in the analysis of these drugs/metabolites. Full-scan MS data were further used to select ion-pairs with potential for designating the analytes and ISs in quantitative analysis protocols. The CC data of these ion-pairs were evaluated using data collected in selected ion monitoring mode and systematically tabulated, readily available for analysts searching for this important analytical parameter.

JO - International Journal of Pavement Engineering JF - International Journal of Pavement Engineering Y1 - 2008/04// VL - 9 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 129 EP - 151 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 10298436 AB - Moisture-induced damage in asphaltic mixes is a complex problem which needs to be approached 'from the inside out'. It is of essence to determine the fundamental physical and mechanical processes which contribute to moisture-induced damage. Once these processes are determined, the controlling parameters need to be defined and measured. The research described in this and the previous paper is focusing on the development of an energy-based computational framework which incorporates moisture-induced damage by integrating the physical and mechanical moisture-induced damage processes within the (dry) elasto-visco-plastic constitutive model. In the previous paper, the moisture infiltration processes and their formulations were derived and verified. In this paper, focus is placed on the determination of the moisture susceptibility parameters of the computational model. Determination of moisture diffusion coefficients of the mastic is discussed and a computational study is performed to show the effect of filler concentration in the mastic. A computational-experimental procedure to determine the moisture susceptibility of the aggregate-mastic bond is shown and demonstrated. Finally, an extensive parametric analyses is performed which shows the impact of moisture damage on the asphalt mix response by varying the moisture susceptibility parameters. It is concluded, among others, that to avoid moisture-induced damage, bitumen should have as low as possible moisture diffusion properties; the amount of filler in the mastic should be decided upon, on the basis of a combination of the mechanical properties of the mastic, the diffusion coefficients of the filler and the bitumen and the mastic moisture damage parameters. Furthermore, the aggregate-mastic bond strength should be maximised by keeping the moisture susceptibility parameters as low as possible; combinations of mastics with low moisture diffusion coefficients and low moisture susceptible aggregate-mastic bonds should be preferred, and it should be avoided at all times to introduce moisture into the mix before and during the time of mixing. Above all, the research in this paper shows the importance of determining the fundamental moisture susceptibility parameters and the effect they may have on the lifetime performance of asphaltic pavements.

Knowledge of this property is necessary to assess a material''s fire hazard in a particular fire scenario. Nevertheless, even for the most common polymers the values of this property are not well established. Here we present a method for determining the heat of gasification using differential scanning calorimetry and apply this method to a set of ten common plastics and engineering polymers.

The model included the delamination growth in subcritical, linear, and unstable domains. The increasing fracture resistance effect as the delamination grows was included in the model. Mode-I fracture test was conducted to obtain the fracture resistance G IR as a function of delamination growth. Fatigue onset life test was conducted to determine the threshold energy release rate G Ith. Constant amplitude cyclic opening displacement fatigue test with displacement ratio R =0.1 was conducted to establish the delamination growth rate, da/dN, as a function of maximum cyclic energy release rate normalized by fracture resistance, G Imax/G IR. The total life equation was generated and the constants in the equation were determined. The equation fits the test data very well in both subcritical and linear domains while gives limiting solution in unstable domain, because of lack of test data in this domain.

JO - Forensic Science Review JF - Forensic Science Review Y1 - 2008/01// VL - 20 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 17 SN - 10427201 AB - For the past 50 years, the Indiana University Robert F. Borkenstein Course on Alcohol and Highway Safety, founded by Professor Robert F. Borkenstein in 1958, has made a unique and lasting contribution to that subject by providing expert-level short-course instruction to more than 5,000 registrants from North America and many international locations. Since 1971, the course has been sponsored and presented by the Indiana University Center for Studies of Law in Action, also established by Prof. Borkenstein. The center has been involved in three primary missions in the field of alcohol, drugs, and traffic safety: (a) To carry out and facilitate research; (b) to present short courses and engage in other educational activities; and (c) to serve as a repository for information, available to educators, practitioners, and researchers. The pervasive and cumulative accomplishments of the Robert F. Borkenstein Course and the Indiana University Center for Studies of Law in Action were recognized in August 2007 by conferral of the Widmark Institutional Award by the International Council on Alcohol, Drugs, and Traffic Safety -- the highest international honor in that field for outstanding contributions by a nongovernmental organization. This article recounts the history and accomplishments of the course and the center, as a tribute to both, and to Prof. Borkenstein, and to illuminate the path that led to the 16th ICADTS Widmark Institutional Award.

The rutting model is empirical and the rutting profiles obtained from the model are based largely on the adjustment of calibration constants, not the DM. Various DM values would be capable of producing similar rutting profiles based on the current model. This study evaluates using accumulated strain data obtained from the Repeated Load Test (RLT) as an alternative to using DM. In addition, a model to represent the accumulated strain data obtained from the RLT is developed. The accuracy and behavior of the current model and the model developed in this study in representing a mix from Louisiana are compared. Alternatives for incorporating the RLT data into the MEPDG are also presented.

The new method [referred to herein as the Volpe Method] utilizes the accurate pure-tone sound absorption algorithms of two published standards, the International Standard, "Acoustics- Attenuation of Sound During Propagation Outdoors-Part 1: Calculation of the Absorption of Sound by the Atmosphere," ISO 9613-1 and, the American National Standard, "Method for Calculation of the Absorption of Sound by the Atmosphere," ANSI S1.26-1995. The purpose of the study was to extend the useful attenuation range of the Approximate Method outlined in the ANSI document, and provide a basis for replacing the current Society of Automotive Engineers Aerospace Recommended Practice 866A, "Standard Values of Atmospheric Absorption as a Function of Temperature and Humidity" (SAE ARP 866A). TheVolpe Method was found to be useable to mid-band absorption levels up to 500 dB with errors of less than ±0.5 dB or ±5% (of mid-band attenuation levels) to 100 dB, and ±7% to 500 dB.

AB - Introduction: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants are popularly prescribed, but these drugs are not currently approved for use by U.S. civilian aviators. In a 2003 study, the presence of 4 SSRIs--citalopram, fluoxetine, paroxetine, and sertraline--was reported in 61 pilot fatalities of civil aviation accidents that occurred during 1990-2001. However, it was not known whether these pilots had disqualifying psychological conditions, including depression, and had properly reported the use of the antidepressants. Methods: The aeromedical history of the pilots was retrieved from the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) Aerospace Medical Certification Database; additional pilot medical information and the cause/factor of the accidents were obtained from the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB's) Aviation Accident Database. Results: There were 59 pilots who had medical records in the FAA's Certification Database. Disqualifying psychological conditions were self-reported in the past examinations of only 7 (12%) of the 59 pilots, and the use of an SSRI was reported by 3 of the 7 pilots. In later examinations, 6 of the 7 indicated that they were free from the conditions and not taking SSRIs; thus, they were reissued medical certificates. Such conditions and/or drug use were not self-reported in the aeromedical records of the remaining 52 (88%) pilots. Nevertheless, the NTSB investigations revealed that 12 (20%) of the 61 pilots had a history of a psychological condition and/or an SSRI use, as suggested by their personal medical records. Conclusions: These findings reconfirm that SSRIs were used by the aviators but were not reported in their last aeromedical examinations.

AB - Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common types of peripheral vertigo, characterized by violent whirling vertigo after a positional change. Although the condition is termed 'benign,' the clinical presentation can be incapacitating for pilots in certain maneuvers. We present a case of an airline transport pilot with the complaint of vertigo for 5 d. The vertigo was aggravated by head movements when looking up or rolling over, lasting for a few seconds. The patient was diagnosed with BPPV, and he was treated with physical therapy with the use of Epley maneuver. The airman applied for his First-Class medical examination after the treatment was successfully completed. The aviation medical examiner (AME) issued the airman medical certificate after contacting and receiving verbal approval from the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) Aerospace Medical Certification Division (AMCD). While evaluating aviators who have had BPPV, AMEs should not issue medical certificates for any class until the condition is fully resolved. Although the AME Guide states that certification of pilots with other types of vertigo requires an FAA decision, once the patient is successfully treated and free of symptoms, approval for issuing the medical certificate can be obtained through contacting AMCD and by submitting all information and documentation pertaining to the diagnosis and treatment.

Strategies are proposed for analysing multi-step decomposition. The heat release capacity (HRC) and total heat release (HR), obtained by PCFC, are related to the char yield and the heat of complete combustion of the volatiles. Physical affects such as dripping, wicking, and sample thickness are not described, nor are chemical effects such as flame inhibition because pyrolysis and combustion are forced to completion on a small (milligram) sample. Varying the combustion temperature or oxygen concentration results in incomplete combustion as occuring in real fires. The correlations with flammability (UL 94, LOI) and forced flaming combustion in a cone calorimeter are discussed. The best correlation is found between HR and LOI. Reasonable correlation exists between HRC and char residue with the LOI and for HRC and HR with peak heat release rate (pHRR) in the cone calorimeter. Combining results from PCFC with those from oxygen bomb or cone calorimeter tests yields an additional understanding of fire behaviour.

As in the case of two different deaths, wherein the victims died by drowning with extended periods underwater, more or less 2 and 4 weeks, the ethanol concentrations found in their central blood were 260 and 280 based on the postmortem analysis. Moreover, this ethanol concentration was also reduced in the vitreous with 50 and 80, and 330 and 320 in urine (mg/100 mL). The serotin metabolite ratios support the explanation behind ethanol's diffusion from the vitreous fluid towards the surrounding water, instead of the ethanol's postmortem production in blood as the main cause of the differences on the blood-vitreous ethanol.

The durability of a commercially available UHPC was independently evaluated through six standardized durability tests and the results are reported herein. Regardless of the curing treatment applied, this concrete exhibits significantly enhanced durability properties as compared to normal and high performance concretes. The concrete exhibited minimal damage after being subjected to two times the normal number of ASTM C 666 freeze–thaw cycles. It was innocuous to ASTM C 1260 ASR deterioration, to ASTM C 672 scaling deterioration, and to AASHTO T259 chloride penetration. The ASTM C 1202 Electrical Indication of Concrete’s Ability to Resist Chloride Ion Penetration test result was negligible if any steam-based curing treatment was applied, and was very low otherwise. Steam-based curing treatments significantly enhanced the ASTM C 944 abrasion resistance. The curing treatment applied to this concrete can affect the durability properties, partly due to steam treatment increasing the degree of hydration of the concrete, improving its microstructure, and decreasing its permeability.

Recent developments in binder fatigue research have been made using parallel plate geometry in a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) to measure total dissipated energy and its change as a function of test cycles. Recent studies, however, have raised questions regarding the temperature level and stiffness level at which true binder fatigue can be measured with the parallel plate geometry in the DSR. It has been claimed that the binder’s stiffness of less than 15 MPa will result in instability failure known as “edge effect,” instead of true fatigue. Edge effect, better known as edge fracture in polymer science, is a normal-force dependent phenomenon which is characterized by the inability of material to maintain its geometry at its boundary with air/atmosphere. This study attempts to investigate further the relationship between binder’s stiffness and true fatigue using parallel plate (PP) geometry and torsion cylinder (TC) geometry. TC samples are a cylindrical-shaped mix of asphalt binder and Ottawa sand (one size, pass No. 30 sieve, and retained on No. 50 sieve), 12 mm in diameter and 30 mm in height, produced using metal molds, to simulate the effect of traffic load on thin asphalt film in asphalt mixtures. Torsion cylinder high stiffness (range) ensures that the sample will fail in true fatigue. This study hypothesized that PP and TC test results are related, and should PP and TC behave in a similar way, edge effect can be considered not significant enough to effect parallel plate fatigue testing. Testing was done by three different laboratories to evaluate repeatability between these two geometries. A simple shift parameter based on testing geometries allows direct comparison between PP and TC test results. Binder stiffness role in similarities and differences in both geometries is presented. Regression analysis using Minitab showed that test geometry was not sufficiently significant to affect fatigue test results, thus the edge effect was not significant in PP fatigue testing. The same analysis indicated that repeatability is significant in the PP regression model, but not in the TC regression model. This indicated that TC has better repeatability than PP, and showed that sample preparation and adhering of asphalt film to parallel plates can be dealt with by using torsion cylinder geometry.

The Transportation Technology Center Incorporated (TTCI), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Association of American Railroads, Pueblo, Colorado, continuously conducts full scale rail performance tests, which represent a multi-million-dollar investment and take many years to complete. This research paper addresses the development of a simple laboratory technique that can be used as a screening method for rail performance. This method is cost effective and rapid and is intended to be used prior to the full-scale test. The laboratory test consists on a ball-on-disk, pure-sliding experiment. In the present research were used only premium rails from various manufacturers for both, the ball-on-disk and full scale test and the results of both tests are provided in the present paper. The full-scale rail performance test is conducted by TTCI at the Facility for Accelerated Servicing Testing (FAST), which consists of a 4.4km of railroad heavy haul tracks. The results of both, ball-on-disk and full-scale tests, presented in this paper correspond to the two latest generations of premium (pearlitic) rails and one bainitic rail. Such rails were produced by six rail manufacturers. Both, FAST and ball-on-disk tests showed that under high contact pressures (heavy haul conditions) the bainitic rail does not perform well as the pearlitic rails. Due to the significant differences, in particular dynamic forces, among the ball-on-disk and full-scale tests there is no direct relationship among both tests. Nonetheless, the ball-on-disk test can be used to distinguish wear performance among the two generations of rails tested for the present research; therefore, the ball-on-disk test can be used as a screening method prior to the full scale test.

SN - 13886150 AB - Heating a milligram-sized sample of material at a constant heating rate is usually achieved by controlling the temperature of an electric-resistance furnace with a proportional integral derivative (PID) controller. Here we present a new method for constant-rate heating that is based on a semi-empirical mathematical expression relating sample temperature, heating rate, and electric power supplied to the furnace. This method uses PID control only for second-order corrections of the heating rate. The linearity of the sample temperature vs. time curves obtained by applying this method to a simple furnace setup is the same as the linearity of the curves generated by modern commercial thermogravimetric analyzers.

The use of composite girders results in a very economical design. Additional savings can be obtained in design and material costs for some members by automating design approaches based on optimization techniques. This paper describes the use of EXCEL Solver to find the minimum weight for a composite trapezoidal box cross section for a two lane bridge. Design aid tables were generated for structural steel Grades 250, 345, 485, and 690 MPa, and different spans varying from 3.0–100 m. The search for the minimum cross section used in this research satisfies the 17th Edition of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Specifications—Load Factor Design method.

The model is capable of computing fuel burn and emissions on a flight-by-flight, fleet and global basis. Here, a parametric study was conducted to rank-order the effects that the modeling uncertainties had on estimates of fuel burn and emissions. Statistical methods were applied to analyze both the random and systematic errors of the model. Also, applying the model to a sample policy analysis case allowed an examination of more stringent engine certification standards for mitigating aviation emissions. Uncertainties of the model were carefully accounted for in the fuel burn and emissions scenarios of the policy options. Results show that for some applications, SAGE may be used to resolve small differences in fleet emissions performance. Although the absolute uncertainty in flight-by-flight NO x predictions from the model are of the order of 40%, results show that it is well within the current capabilities of the model to distinguish between the fleet average NO x emissions associated with the typical NO x stringency options considered in policy analyses.

AB - In the present article, we present a means to remotely and transparently estimate an individual's level of fatigue by quantifying changes in his or her voice characteristics. Using Voice analysis to estimate fatigue is unique from established cognitive measures in a number of ways: (1) speaking is a natural activity requiring no initial training or learning curve, (2) voice recording is a unobtrusive operation allowing the speakers to go about their normal work activities, (3) using telecommunication infrastructure (radio, telephone, etc.) a diffuse set of remote populations can be monitored at a central location, and (4) often, previously recorded voice data are available for post hoc analysis. By quantifying changes in the mathematical coefficients that describe the human speech production process, we were able to demonstrate that for speech sounds requiring a large average air flow, a speaker's voice changes in synchrony with both direct measures of fatigue and with changes predicted by the length of time awake.

It used sildenafil-dg as a standard and solid-phase extraction (SPE) to recover the vardenafil in plane crash cadaver. Quantification was done using liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), with the ion trap technology for MS activated. Results showed that the limit of detection for vardenafil was 0.19 ng/mL. Higher concentrations of vardenafil were found in bile (1665 ng/ml) followed by blood (291 ng/ml). Lack of published data on postmortem distribution of vardenafil provides no basis if the concentrations measured are within normal levels.

These characteristics are unique compared to far-field ground motions, upon which nearly all seismic design criteria are based. The objectives of this study were to explore the shake table response of reinforced concrete, to investigate near-fault ground motion effects on reinforced concrete bridge columns subjected to near-fault ground motions, and to provide a framework for the evaluation of bridge columns near active faults. Two large-scale columns were designed and tested under a near-fault ground motion on a shake table at the University of Nevada, Reno. One column represented the current California Department of Transportation far-field design, and the other was based on the American Association of Highway and Transportation Officials provisions. The most unique measured response characteristic in both columns was the large residual displacements even under moderate motions. A new hysteresis model was developed to capture this effect and was incorporated in an analytical model. Based on this finding, a framework for the evaluation of reinforced concrete bridge columns with respect to the control of residual displacement was proposed.

T1 - System for assessing Aviation’s Global Emissions (SAGE), Part 1: Model description and inventory results JO - Transportation Research: Part D JF - Transportation Research: Part D Y1 - 2007/07// VL - 12 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 325 EP - 346 SN - 13619209 AB - Abstract: In early 2001, the US Federal Aviation Administration embarked on a multi-year effort to develop a new computer model, the System for assessing Aviation’s Global Emissions (SAGE). Currently at Version 1.5, the basic use of the model has centered on the development of yearly global inventories of commercial aircraft fuel burn and emissions of various pollutants to serve as the basis for scenario modeling. This paper describes the algorithms and data used in the model as well as the results from initial validation assessments. SAGE results indicate that global fuel burn and nitrogen oxide (NO x ) emissions decreased by over 6% from 2000 to 2001 (fuel burn and NO x ), and then steadily increased to over 12% (fuel burn) and 15.5% (NO x ) above 2000 levels in 2005. Comparisons to the results from previous studies have shown that SAGE tends to agree more closely with fuel burn and NO x than with CO and HC. Validation assessments have shown that SAGE can predict per flight fuel burn to within 3% on an average basis with no apparent bias, when compared to about 60,000 flight’s worth of data from a major US airline and about 20,000 flight’s worth of data from two major Japanese airlines.

However, the penetration mechanism of hydrogen into the steel is still under discussion, as it is not so easy to detect and measure the hydrogen in steels. In this paper, relatively large commercial cold drawn pearlitic steel wires have been submitted to stress corrosion cracking under different environments. After these tests, Nuclear Resonance Reaction Analysis, NRRA, has been used to detect the presence of the hydrogen and its quantity, which has confirmed the presence of H in the case of brittle fracture. In addition, once the presence of hydrogen has been confirmed, the penetration of the hydrogen into the unit cell of the ferrite has been deduced from the analysis of the steels by neutron diffraction, from the shift of the d-spacing after the experiments. The application of NRRA and Neutron Diffraction techniques have been shown as very promising techniques to study the mechanisms of the embrittlement of the steel to the hydrogen present in the metallic lattice.

These polymers are typically derived from the bisphenol of chloral (bisphenol-C/BPC) and are low cost, easily processed, and have good mechanical properties and toughness under normal conditions. Under fire conditions, the DDE group undergoes an intramolecular rearrangement with the elimination of hydrogen chloride (a noncombustible gas) and intermolecular crosslinking to form an aromatic char residue in high yield. The flammability and mechanical properties of DDE-containing polymers are described.

AB - Our laboratory was interested in epidemiological and toxicological findings from air-craft-assisted pilot suicides. Between 1993-2002 there were 3,648 fatal aviation accidents. The NTSB determined that 16 were aircraft-assisted suicides; 15 from intentional crashing of an aircraft and 1 from exiting the aircraft while inflict. All pilots involved in these aircraft-assisted suicides were male, with a median age of 40 years. Seven of the 14 pilots for which specimens were available were positive for disqualifying substances. Based on the few cases conclusively attributed to suicide, death by the intentional crashing of an aircraft appears to be an infrequent and uncommon event.

Investigations revealed that the linkup of small cracks emanating from multiple rivet holes in a debonded lap joint contributed to the catastrophic failure. This cracking scenario, known as multiple-site damage, is one of two sources of widespread fatigue damage; a type of structural degradation characterized by the simultaneous presence of fatigue cracks at multiple structural elements that are of sufficient size and density whereby the structure will no longer meet its damage tolerance requirement. This study, sponsored by the National Aging Aircraft Research Program initiated by the Federal Aviation Administration in response to the Aloha accident, investigates multiple-site damage initiation and growth behavior in a pristine narrow-body fuselage panel. The test panel, a curved 6 x 10 ft stiffened structure containing six frames, seven stringers, and a longitudinal lap joint, was tested at the Federal Aviation Administration Full-Scale Aircraft Structural Test Evaluation and Research facility. The panel was subjected to a fatigue test with constant-amplitude cyclic loading, simulating the major modes of load associated with fuselage pressurization. Nondestructive inspections were conducted during the fatigue test to detect and monitor crack formation and growth. Multiple-site damage cracks were visually detected after about 80% of the fatigue life. Cracks developed and linked in the upper rivet row of the lap joint in the outer skin layer and formed a long fatigue crack before the termination of the fatigue test. A residual strength test was then conducted by subjecting the panel to quasi-static loads until catastrophic failure. Fractographic examinations were conducted to reconstruct crack growth history. Preliminary results show multiple crack origins and significant subsurface crack growth.

AB - Introduction: First-generation H₁-receptor antagonists are popularly used for alleviating allergy and cold symptoms, but these antihistaminics cause drowsiness and sedation. Such side effects could impair performance and, thus, could be the cause or a factor in accidents. Therefore, the prevalence of these antagonists was evaluated in aviation accident pilot fatalities. Methods: The Civil Aerospace Medical Institute's (CAMI's) Toxicology Database was examined for the presence of the firstgeneration antihistamines in pilot fatalities of civil aircraft accidents that occurred during a 16-yr (1990-2005) period. Results: Of 5383 fatal aviation accidents from which CAMI received specimens, there were 338 accidents wherein pilot fatalities (cases) were found to contain brompheniramine, chlorpheniramine, diphenhydramine, doxylamine, pheniramine, phenyltoloxamine, promethazine, and triprolidine. Of the 338 accidents, 304 were general aviation accidents, and 175 of the 338 pilots held private pilot airman certificates. Antihistamines were detected alone in 103 fatalities (1 antihistamine in 94 and 2 antihistamines in 9), while other drug(s) and/or ethanol were also present in an additional 235 fatalities. The antihistamines were found in approximately 4 and 11% of the fatalities/accidents in 1990 and in 2004, respectively. The use of antihistamine(s) was determined by the National Transportation Safety Board to be the cause of 13 and a factor in 50 of the 338 accidents. Conclusions:There was an overall increasing trend in the use of antihistamines by aviators during the 16-yr span. Blood levels of the antihistaminics were in the sub-therapeutic to toxic range. Findings from this study will be useful in investigating future accidents involving antihistamines.

AB - Objective: The aim of this study was to extend previous examinations of aviation accidents to include specific aircrew, environmental, supervisory, and organizational factors associated with two types of commercial aviation (air carrier and commuter/ on-demand) accidents using the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS). Background: HFACS is a theoretically based tool for investigating and analyzing human error associated with accidents and incidents. Previous research has shown that HFACS can be reliably used to identify human factors trends associated with military and general aviation accidents. Method: Using data obtained from both the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration, 6 pilot-raters classified aircrew, supervisory, organizational, and environmental causal factors associated with 1020 commercial aviation accidents that occurred over a 13- year period. Results: The majority of accident causal factors were attributed to aircrew and the environment, with decidedly fewer associated with supervisory and organizational causes. Comparisons were made between HFACS causal categories and traditional situational variables such as visual conditions, injury severity, and regional differences. Conclusion: These data will provide support for the continuation, modification, and/or development of interventions aimed at commercial aviation safety. Application: HFACS provides a tool for assessing human factors associated with accidents and incidents.

Two unmodified (neat) and seven modified binders were mixed with the same aggregate blend in order to prepare the nine hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures used in this study. The HMA microstructure was captured using images of vertically cut sections of specimens. The captured grayscale images were processed into black and white images representing the mastic and the aggregate phases, respectively. These microstructure images were used to represent the DEM model geometry. Rheological data for the nine binders were obtained using the dynamic shear rheometer. These data were used to estimate the parameters of the viscoelastic contact models that define the interaction among the mix constituents. The DEM models were subjected to sinusoidal loads similar to those applied in the simple performance test (SPT). The DEM model predictions compared favorably with the SPT measurements. However, the simulation results tended to overpredict the dynamic modulus, E*, for mixtures made with neat binders and underpredict E* for those that consisted of modified binders. The DEM models gave mix phase angles, [lowercase_phi_synonym]mix, higher than the experimental measurements.

This work examines vehicle speeds (and their variations) derived from single loop detectors for several Southern California freeways, within and across freeway lanes, together with corresponding crash data. While a variety of factors clearly influence speed and speed variance, there is no evidence in these crash data sets, and observations of their corresponding series of 30-second traffic conditions, that speeds or their variation trigger crashes.

In this work, the imaging data of a CT scanned human femoral neck trabecular bone is directly converted into a meshless model. A model is developed to analyze osteoporosis process. A fracture criterion and the corresponding post-failure are proposed for trabecular bone. The fracture process is modeled and simulated. The simulations show that the fracture stress is not a monotonically decreasing function in the process of fracture, and the microstructure of trabecular bone has a positive effect in preventing progressive failure. The approach in this work may be used to understand the osteoporosis-related fracture and the bone density–strength relationship, and to serve as a way for prognosis of osteoporosis.

JO - Journal of Aircraft JF - Journal of Aircraft Y1 - 2007/01//Jan/Feb2007 VL - 44 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 300 EP - 300 SN - 00218669 AB - A simple, new, triple-calibration scheme is developed for Goodrich (formerly Rosemount) model 0871FA ice detectors. The analog output voltage is equated not only to the usual liquid water concentration, but to accurately computed ice mass-and-depth accretion rates on the sensitive element of the detector. The three different calibration constants vary from detector to detector, but are related through invariant equations that are probe-independent. Thus, the relations can serve as universal calibration equations for any 0871FA detector. The method is demonstrated for three detectors in the steady-state conditions of an icing wind tunnel. Other observed characteristics of 0871FAs are described to help users understand the behavior of these detectors during operation. Close-up video confirms that irregularities that sometimes appear in the analog output signals are due to incomplete shedding of the ice during the heating cycles under certain conditions. The tunnel experiments also suggest that a combination of 0871FA and a fast-response liquid water sensor can be useful for real-time tunnel calibration checks, rapid adjustment, and subsequent continuous monitoring and documentation of tunnel icing conditions. A traveling pair of these probes can be a new way to set and/or compare intended identical icing conditions from one icing wind tunnel to another.

AB - Research shows providing students with memorization techniques improve their ability to recall information. Other studies show the human mind has a great capacity for remembering pictorial information. This study tested the effectiveness of a novel mnemonic strategy: the Intuitive Pictorial System (IPS). A pretest-posttest, control group design was applied to three groups based on experience levels. Descriptive and inferential statistics assessed the data to reveal any significant differences between the IPS and traditional training methods. Though the study’s findings did not show the IPS produced performance gains superior to the traditional method, user assessments and symbol recognition performance demonstrated the utility and merit of the system as augmentation to traditional methods. The way the symbols were able to facilitate the recall of uncommon, unfamiliar terms and phrases in a naïve population to a level comparable to highly experienced pilots in one week highlighted the IPS’s capacity to aid in the encoding of information into long-term memory. This information could lead to important innovations and be a valuable contribution to the U.S. Army and other military and civil aviation training.

AB - This paper presents a systems-level perspective for understanding and improving safety climate in aviation. Structural equation modeling is used to test a proposed model of flight crew safety in an accident-free commercial aviation company. Analysis of the results indicates two main influences on flight crew safety in the given sample: organizational affiliation and proactive management. Communication, relational supervision, and training effectiveness are also identified as secondary constructs impacting safety for the flight crews in the sample. Applications of the model to future aviation research and use of the model to identify points of leverage for improved safety performance are discussed.

The forced responses to checklist questions provide a definitive outcome identifying the effectiveness of the four quality assurance work functions. On the other hand, open-ended responses, the second type of response for capturing maintenance errors, are qualitative in nature since they reflect what the auditors and quality assurance representatives observe during their interactions at vendor locations. This research proposes to apply the statistical technique of multidimensional scaling (MDS) and the User Centered Design (UCD) method of Participatory Design (PD) to categorize open-ended responses into suitable performance metrics of aircraft safety and organizational cost, respectively.

AB - According to the FAA Runway Safety Report (2004), vehicle deviations accounted for 20% (291 events) of all runway incursions during the period of 2000 through 2003. The focus of this quantitative correlation study examined if a relationship existed between the methods used for airport movement area driver training and the number of incursions at the Operational Evolution Plan (OEP-35) U.S. towered airports. Airport driver training officials at the OEP-35 airports were surveyed using a five-point Likert-type survey. The data from this study suggested a relationship exists between the methods used for airport driver training and the number of runway incursions at the largest U.S. towered airports. The data from this study might help to reduce airport liability exposure, property damage, and lower airport liability insurance cost to U.S. airport owners.

AB - This study was performed to determine if United States pilots in the Air Line Pilots Association International (ALPA) experience mortality at the same rate as the general United States Population. Information on over 72,000 pilots, who were members of ALPA, was gathered for the period January 1, 1980 through December 31, 2002. Male and female pilots were analyzed separately. The mortality was observed using a standardized mortality ratio (SMR) with the United States population as the comparison. The results were studied for all cause mortality, all cancer mortality, all non-cancer mortality, and certain cause-specific deaths, where four or more deaths occurred. Of the 72,972 male pilots, 556 were deceased, making up 1% of the total male cohort. The SMR showed a significant decrease in all cause mortality, all cancer mortality, all non-cancer mortality, as well as most cause-specific mortalities. The study was performed in a young cohort and showed an overall healthy population when compared to the general United States population.

Page Count: 12. Issue Publication Date: 2007. AB - Pilots often use caffeine, in the form of coffee, during critical phases of flight to enhance performance. This study investigates the effects of low dose caffeine on pilots’ performance during a crucial segment of flight. Thirty pilots were randomly divided into three groups (0mg/kg, 1mg/kg, & 3mg/kg of caffeine). The pilots performed two simulated instrument landing systems approaches. Caffeine was administered between the two flights and pilots’ performances were measured and compared. The results failed to reveal any differences between the three groups. In contrast, a group by sleep interaction was significant. The results suggest for a normal well-rested person, caffeine at relatively low doses, similar to that used by pilots, has no measurable effect on performance. In contrast, for a person not well rested, caffeine in low doses noticeably improves performance. Results are discussed from an applied perspective and alternate methods of enhancing performance are reviewed. Recommendations are made for future studies in this field.

AB - Hazardous attitudes are a part of aviation. Interpersonal conflicts are part of the human experience. Thus, flight instructors and student pilots will likely experience conflict due to hazardous attitudes on a regular basis. Flight instructors practicing avoidance do not help students recognize and overcome their hazardous attitudes. Accommodating flight instructors can find themselves deferring to inappropriate student pilot behavior. Flight instructors with a competitive style of conflict management can intervene in a decisive, forceful manner in the interests of safety. A compromising instructor can inadvertently send the wrong message to a student in regards to the aeronautical decision-making process. The collaborative instructor spends as much time and energy as needed to work with the student pilot until any flight training issues associated with hazardous attitudes are resolved to the mutual satisfaction of both.

Issue Publication Date: 2007. AB - NEXRAD and onboard radar displays may produce conflicting weather representations that disrupt team decision-making processes and lower decision-making confidence. This study examined teaming factors such as communication level, leadership style, and differences in flight experience that could influence decision confidence. Twelve commercial pilot-copilot teams reacted to weather information provided by NEXRAD and onboard radar displays while flying a simulated route. However, the agreement between these two sources of weather information varied during the flight. Results showed that aircrews that had similar flight experience and high levels of communication reported higher confidence in their decisions as they approached the weather threat. Also, decision confidence increased as aircrews approached the weather event regardless of changes in display reliability, suggesting a possible escalated commitment bias. These findings may be used to improve crew resource management (CRM) when aircrews are attempting to interpret and respond to advanced weather display information.

AB - Regional air carriers are currently hiring graduates of university Professional Pilot programs with relatively low flight time, yet are not able to fill all of their open positions. Since this shortage of qualified first officers is forecast to continue, the retention of students who are enrolled in Professional Pilot programs has become an important priority. In this study, seniors graduating from the Aerospace Department at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) were surveyed to identify the factors that caused them to change from the Professional Pilot concentration to a different Aerospace concentration, if in fact they had done so. The survey responses indicate that students transferred from the Professional Pilot concentration at a significantly greater rate than other Aerospace concentrations, and financial constraints, time constraints, and job prospects were cited as the leading reasons for the change. Significant differences between the Professional Pilot and other Aerospace students were found in the areas of: a) retention rates of students who had family in the industry, b) loan amounts due at graduation, and c) rate of participation in Aerospace student organizations.

In U.S. Naval aviation, human error accounts for more than 80% of mishaps. This paper represents the first attempt to summarize the elements of the U.S. Naval aviation safety program in a single document, and disseminate it to a non-military audience. The program is discussed in the context of safety research carried out in other military and high-reliability organizations. The many areas in which the U.S. Navy has learned from other high-reliability organizations are identified, and areas in which the elements of the Navy’s safety program could be adapted to mitigate the human factors causes of mishaps in commercial aviation delineated.

Issue Publication Date: 2007. AB - Reviews the book, The field guide to understanding human error by Sidney Dekker. When it comes to accidents in safety sensitive organizations, managers are quick to point fingers and place blame, labeling the mistake as 'human error.' In response, Sidney Dekker presents us with this book, urging us to abandon our old worldview of human error and to be, instead, more open-minded. He asks us to reconsider how we view human error, taking into account how the events leading up to the accident appeared to those involved; a view that is more ethnographic than theoretically deductive. In Dekker’s view, the majority of the time we will find that the actions taken made sense at the time, making it not human error, but instead common sense actions, at least as it appeared to those involved. To direct the attention of the reader, Dekker uses bullets to outline significant points within chapters. To reinforce his points of view and to perhaps instill in the reader the importance of getting it right when investigating human error, Sid provides us with a wonderful summary of the preceding chapters and a chance to reflect. Dekker’s book is interesting in that it doesn’t just simply state that there is a problem with the way human error is popularly defined; he goes further, identifying an ideal view of human factors in accident investigation. Dekker gently urges his readers to transform their minds, to let in a fresh perspective on human performance in complex systems. A brief note on Sid’s experience might help readers decide to buy this book.

T1 - Some statistics of freezing precipitation and rime for the territory of the former USSR from ground-based weather observations JO - Atmospheric Research JF - Atmospheric Research Y1 - 2006/11// VL - 82 IS - 1/2 M3 - Article SP - 203 EP - 221 SN - 01698095 AB - Abstract: This work is a continuation of the previous climatological study of freezing precipitation and rime over the USSR territory [] aimed at creating an atlas of the frequency of these phenomena. This study gives considerable information about and a statistical analysis of freezing precipitation and rime events observed over the territory of the former USSR during a decade (1981–1990) and over the European territory of the USSR during two decades (1971–1990). This paper intends to draw the attention of the reader to the atlas and statistics by showing some interesting points. The authors used the data provided by the ground-based weather stations involved in the international exchange of meteorological data. The USSR network''s [Monthly Meteorological Tables, 1971–1990. Part 1, Novosibirsk-Obninsk. (in Russian).] comprising selected daily ground-based meteorological observations from more than 220 stations served as a basis for the analysis. All the types of freezing precipitation (FP) events were given as WMO Codes 56, 57, 66, 67, 24 and freezing fog (FF) deposited rime as WMO Codes 48, 49. The entire territory was divided into six major regions: the Arctic, the European part of the USSR, the Trans-Caucasus, Central Asia, Siberia, and the Far East. The frequency and distribution of events by regions versus temperature, atmospheric pressure, clouds base height, and some other meteorological parameters concerned were obtained. Climatic maps of annual mean, monthly mean, and seasonal mean occurrences of FP and FF were constructed for these regions. The study also analyzes the space–time variability of monthly mean ice-coating duration in hours for the 20-year period of 1971–1990 as observed at over 80 stations in the European part of the USSR (ET), and climatic maps of annual mean and monthly mean ice coating duration for the ET are constructed. The correlation between ice coating duration and height has been evaluated.

The crack configuration was a small corner defect at the edge of a large central hole in a flanged plate made of 7010 aluminium alloy and the component was subjected to a simulated helicopter spectrum loading. The crack growth rate data and the stress-intensity factor (K) solution for the crack configuration were provided in the round-robin. The FASTRAN life-prediction code was used to predict fatigue crack growth under various load histories on the aluminium alloy, such as Rotorix and Asterix, on both compact tension C(T) specimens and the complex crack configuration. A BEASY three-dimensional stress-intensity factor solution for the round-robin problem was also provided for this paper and is compared with the original K solution. Comparisons are made between measured and predicted fatigue crack growth lives for both crack configurations. The predicted lives for the C(T) specimens were 15–30% longer than the measured lives; and crack growth in the round-robin configuration agreed very well in the early stages of crack growth, but the life was 30% short of the test results at the final crack length.

AB - Traditionally, both epidemiological and empirical methods have been used to assess driving safety. This paper describes an alternative, hybrid, naturalistic approach to data collection that shares advantages with each traditional approach. Though this naturalistic approach draws on elements of several safety techniques that have been developed in the past, including the Hazard Analysis Technique, instrumented vehicle studies, and fleet studies of driving safety interventions, it has a number of unique elements. Sophisticated instrumented vehicles collected over 400,000 km of commercial vehicle data to address the long-haul trucking application described in this paper. The development of this data collection and analysis method and data collection instrumentation has resulted in a set of valuable tools to advance the current state-of-the-practice in driving safety assessment. An application of this unique approach to a study of long-haul truck driver performance, behavior, and fatigue is described herein.

N2 - Provides a review of the literature on community mobility and dementia. Individual sections look at research and practice on the safety of drivers with dementia, monitoring drivers with degenerating abilities (including the effectiveness of current screening and assessment practices), compliance with driving assessments, the impact of driving cessation on individuals with dementia, and the community mobility needs of persons with dementia. In many areas, public transportation, including paratransit, is not a viable option for individuals with dementia, particularly because independent travel is not feasible for them. Half of all older adults cannot use public transportation because it does not exist in their communities. Many stakeholders now look to volunteer programs to provide transportation for older adults with dementia. The success of such programs depends on resolving insurance liability concerns for volunteer drivers and securing insurance at reasonable costs, providing effective volunteer management, raising funds to cover operational costs and driver reimbursement, and volunteer recognition.

OE count was modeled as a function of en route ATCS age and exposure to test that premise using Poisson regression. The odds of OE involvement for older (age 56 and older) and younger (age 55 or less) ATCSs were equal. These results suggest that the rationale for mandatory retirement of controllers might need to be reexamined through continued research.

Specimens are cut from the middle of each railhead along the longitudinal direction of the rail using electrical discharge machining. Fatigue crack propagation tests are conducted under load control conditions using a servo hydraulic material testing system. A simple form of the fatigue power law is used to rank the fatigue crack growth kinetics of the two materials. The results show that bainitic steel has superior fatigue damage tolerance as represented by the fatigue lifetime, fatigue crack propagation kinetics, and fatigue fracture surface morphological features. Fracture surface analysis of fatigue failed specimens revealed the various mechanisms by which bainitic steel acquired its superior resistance to fatigue crack growth. Bainitic rail steel displayed more ductile fracture features such as tearing, and extensive ridge formation during the stable crack propagation process than pearlitic steel. These features are responsible for the crack deceleration and indicate a considerably high energy consuming process associated with the crack propagation of bainitic steel. Pulled-up pearlitic lamella, limited microcracks, and microvoid coalescence are found on the fracture surface of pearlitic rail steel during the stable crack process. The unstable crack propagation region of baioitic steel exhibits both large and small dimples indicative of high resistance to material separation. On the other hand, cleavage and intergranular separation are associated with the unstable crack region in pearlitic steel.

This current study was designed to characterize the mass spectrometric data resulting from sequential derivatizations of commonly abused amphetamines (along with all commercially available deuterated analogs) containing two active sites, i.e., amphetamine, methylenedioxyamphetamine, phenylpropanolamine. The first derivatization groups included in this study were trifluoroacetyl, pentafluoropropionyl, and heptafluorobutyryl, while t-butyldimethylsilyl was used as the second derivatization group. Products resulting from the first step and the two-step derivatization processes were analyzed by GC–MS. Full-scan mass spectrometric data were used to select ions with potential for designating the analytes and their respective isotopically labeled analogs in quantitative analysis protocols. Selected ion monitoring data were then collected and assessed to determine the quality of these ions when one or two different derivatization groups were incorporated in the sample preparation processes. A total of 77 full-scan mass spectra and 8 ion intensity cross-contribution tables, representing various forms of derivatization and isotopic analogs of the three amphetamines, are systematically presented for reference. Evaluations of these data concluded that many, but not all, products derived from “double derivatization” (sequential derivatization with two derivatization groups), generate ions of higher quality than those derived from “single derivatization”.

This paper discusses the sample preparation and image analysis techniques necessary for obtaining an aggregate particle image in 3-D, using X-ray computed tomography, which is then suitable for spherical harmonic analysis. The shapes of three reference rocks are analyzed for uncertainty determination via direct comparison to the geometry of their reconstructed images. A Virtual Reality Modeling Language technique is demonstrated that can give quick and accurate 3-D views of aggregates. Shape data on several different kinds of coarse aggregates are compared and used to illustrate potential mathematical shape analyses made possible by the spherical harmonic information.

The shortening of the column y is proportional to the time t. Bending, that is, bowing out of the column, starts as soon as the compressive load P > 0. Every column to be tested has an initial accidental eccentricity, either because it is not perfectly straight or the mean resistance internally of the random arrangement of the crystalline structure of the grains of structural steel (or other metal) does not coincide with the central column axis. For a solid rectangular cross-section, the eccentricity e falls within a certain interval. The value of e is always greater than zero, but also has an upper bound so that the maximum compressive stress due to compression plus bending does not exceed the proportional limit opl. Euler's formula for critical buckling Per when divided by the cross-sectional column area A does not yield a meaningful average stress. Only the maximum compressive fiber stress, at the midlength of the column is significant as it approaches opl. The coordinates of the bowed column are solved for at any time t at the column midlength, until the column fails at time tcr. It is also demonstrated that P = f(y) is not a straight line, although it may come close. Adopting a convenient rate of compression of the column CI the time to failure tcr can also be predicted for the corresponding, computed ycr.

AB - Objective: This paper describes an experiment directed toward refinement and initial field testing of two potential countermeasures for the problem of rear-end (RE) crashes. The countermeasures consist of 'imminent warning' signals intended to direct the following driver's visual glance to the lead vehicle as it brakes rapidly to a stop and for a short time thereafter. Background: RE crashes are the most frequently occurring type of light vehicle crash, making up at least 25% of all crashes. Method: A preliminary experiment was conducted to facilitate improvement of the attention-getting capability of an alternating pair of lamps. In the main experiment, an oscillating narrow beam lamp (a promising candidate from a previous experiment) and an improved alternating pair (improved as compared with that in a previous experiment) were compared with ordinary rear lighting. Seventy-two drivers were purposely distracted by in-vehicle tasks as the lead (surrogate) vehicle braked hard. Results: Results showed improvements of 0.25 to 0.35 s in brake activation times for the two enhanced configurations as compared with ordinary rear lighting. Conclusion: The two enhanced lighting configurations show promise in reducing the number and severity of RE crashes. Application: The methods and results of this study can be applied to the future design and evaluation of automotive rear-end lighting designed to reduce RE crashes.

The quantity of Ca(OH)2 produced during hydration was also determined using inelastic neutron scattering. The monoclinic form was found to be intrinsically less reactive that the triclinic form. The monoclinic form was also confirmed to produce more product than the triclinic form after 50h, a process found to occur through a longer, rather than earlier, nucleation and growth regime. Results indicated an increase in the permeability of the hydration layer product relative to the triclinic form and the increase in the length of the nucleation and growth regime was thus attributed to an alteration in morphology or structure of the hydration layer product, extending the time for diffusion limited mechanics to be reached.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in cooperation with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), has provided funding to the National Association of State EMS Directors to develop a National EMS Information System (NEMSIS). NEMSIS is being designed to provide a uniform national EMS dataset, with standard terms, definitions, and values, as well as a national EMS database, with aggregated data from all states on a limited number of data elements. Forty-eight of the states, the District of Columbia, and three territories signed a memorandum of agreement documenting support for the NEMSIS project and expressing a desire for full implementation of the NEMSIS dataset. NHTSA has agreed to house the National EMS Database at its National Center for Statistics and Analysis. NHTSA, in cooperation with HRSA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, recently entered into a cooperative agreement with the University of Utah School of Medicine to operate a NEMSIS Technical Assistance Center that will provide related assistance to official EMS agencies and to commercial software vendors. The Technical Assistance Center will also biannually assess state and territorial capabilities to provide data to the national EMS database. NEMSIS will provide a uniform national EMS dataset, with standard terms, definitions, and values, as well as a national EMS database, with aggregated data from all states on a limited number of data elements. Many of the potential benefits of implementation of NEMSIS are enumerated in this report.

AB - In the present study, we investigated the effect on air traffic controller operations and workload from the use of weather displays. Specifically, we assessed the impact on severe weather avoidance, controller efficiency, controller-pilot communications, and the safety of airspace operations when controllers managed traffic during adverse weather conditions. The results showed a significant impact on controller efficiency from the use of weather displays with an increase in sector throughput by up to 10%. We found no significant effects of weather displays on severe weather avoidance, controller communications, and subjective workload ratings. However, using eye movement activity measures that correlate with cognitive workload, we found significantly shorter blink durations when controllers operated traffic in conditions lacking a weather display, indicating a higher workload level during these conditions. Also, the mean pupil diameter was significantly larger when controllers used a static storm forecast tool compared to when controllers used a dynamic forecast tool, indicating a higher workload level during the use of static tools. We conclude that eye movement activity measures can provide a more sensitive measure of controller workload, and that subjective ratings might not capture more transient fluctuations in workload levels during system or display interactions. Relevance to industry: Using real-time eye movement activity measures, designers can better evaluate changes in operator workload during the design and evaluation of complex systems. If we can detect workload-inducing conditions early in the design process, we can improve the design, optimize operator workload, and reduce developmental costs.

We examine these processes in the context of a particular work domain: railroad operations. Analyses revealed a variety of informal cooperative strategies that railroad workers have developed that span across multiple railroad crafts including roadway workers, train crews, and railroad dispatchers. These informal, proactive communications foster shared situation awareness across the distributed organization, facilitate work, and contribute to the overall efficiency, safety, and resilience to error of railroad operations. We discuss design implications for leveraging new digital technologies and location-finding systems to more effectively support these informal strategies, enhance shared situation awareness, and promote high reliability performance.

A thin layer of a fire-resistant paste composed of Geopolymer and hollow glass microspheres was applied to the facings to serve as a protective fire barrier and to improve the fire resistance of the sandwich panels. Using 17 sandwich panel specimens, the primary objective of this program was to establish the minimum amount of fireproofing necessary to satisfy the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements for heat and smoke release. The influence of this fireproofing insulation on the increase in mass of the panels was also evaluated. The system is simple and inexpensive to manufacture, and a 1.8-mm-thick layer of fireproofing satisfies the FAA requirements for both heat release and smoke emission.

NaOH was confirmed to reduce the induction period. After the induction period the rate of products formation is nearly independent of NaOH concentration. However, NaOH suppresses the quantity of hydration products formed, mainly by decreasing the length of the nucleation and growth period, but also because it may cause morphological changes in the hydration products. These effects are commensurate with NaOH concentration, and explain the previously observed reduction in the early strength of tricalcium silicate pastes hydrated in the presence of NaOH.

Available deuterated analogs of these analytes were used as internal standards. Proteins from blood and muscle homogenate were precipitated with cold acetonitrile. After the removal of acetonitrile by evaporation, the supernatants and urine were subjected to solid-phase extraction. The eluted analytes were converted to their hydrochloride salts and derivatized with pentafluoropropionic anhydride and 2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoro-1-propanol. The derivatized products were analyzed by a gas chromatograph (GC)/mass spectrometer by selected ion monitoring. The limit of detection (LOD) for COC, BZE, NCOC, EME, CE, NCE, and EEE was 2ng/ml, while the LODs for BNE, ECG, HBZE, and AEME were 25, 640, 50, and 13ng/ml, respectively. This method was successfully applied in analyzing 13 case samples from aviation accident pilot fatalities and motor vehicle operators. AEME concentrations found in the 13 samples were consistent with those produced solely by the GC inlet pyrolysis of COC controls in blood. Anhydroecgonine cannot be used as a marker for the abuse of COC by smoking because it is also pyrolytically produced from COC metabolites on the GC inlet. The developed method can be effectively adopted for analyzing COC and related compounds in urine, blood, and muscle by a single extraction with increased sensitivity through formation of hydrochloride salts and using a one-step derivatization.

Digital imaging data are taken as the input to specify the configuration and composition of the specimen. Meshless method is demonstrated as a superior numerical tool to analyze crack initiation and propagation in multiphase material. A fracture criterion, based on the ratio of the opening stress over the material toughness distributed in front of the crack tip, is proposed to determine the direction of crack propagation of mixed mode fracture problem in multiphase material. Numerical results are presented and discussed.

The American crew of the British night fighter confirmed that their target was a German Junkers Ju-290, a four-engine aircraft that had been sneaking valuable contraband from northern Italy to Spain under the Allies' noses long enough to be dubbed "Barcelona Charlie." The Beaufighter pilot pressed the firing button and put an end to those clandestine flights. While every enemy aircraft destroyed helped the overall war effort, this victory was particularly noteworthy because the suspected cargo might have helped to prolong the Nazi war effort.

The new models differ from the original model by normalization factor and approximation of stable delamination growth rate equation. All three models include the delamination growth in subcritical (delamination initiation), linear (stable growth) and final (unstable growth) fracture domains. All three models were evaluated by comparing the total life predictions for two different block loadings. One is a normal operation of a rotor craft-type structure and the other is an aggressive loading. Predicted results of the three models were compared with each other and with the experimental data. The material considered was woven-roving E-glass fibre and vinyl ester matrix and the laminate was made by vacuum assisted resin transfer molding.

AB - Despite the fact that humans are diurnal animals and subject to fatigue, the demands of a global economy require schedule designs and methods that expand, rather than contract, work hours. It is quite clear that amateur evaluations of work schedules with regard to health and safety are often faulty; hence, expert assessment is needed to design work schedules with consideration to both prevention and evaluation of outcomes that may negatively affect the worker and/or organization. Topics discussed in this chapter include historical background; work systems definitions and representations; work system design considerations; work system variables; and work system design and implementation.

In 1996, the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board (AFSAB) identified the human/system interface as the greatest deficiency in current UA designs. A recent review of accident statistics for military UA lends support to this statement. However, the particular interface deficiencies responsible for most accidents differed across the various systems. In reviewing accident data for UA, two approaches can be used. The first is to focus on a particular aircraft system, noting the deficiencies in the interface design for that system that led to individual accidents. The second is to look at accidents across systems, focusing on categories of mishaps that occur across a variety of systems. The first approach can result in specific design changes for a particular system. The second approach can reveal basic human factors issues that apply across a variety of systems. In this chapter, we will look at UA accidents across a variety of systems and will focus on categories of accidents involving flight control. The success or failure of UA will at least in part be determined by how easily they can be flown. Once the pilot has been separated from the aircraft, designers are faced with the basic problem of how to control the aircraft during the flight. Three flight-control categories have been selected for review. The first category involves the use of an external pilot (EP) to control the flight of the aircraft. The second flight-control category concerns the transfer of control during flight. The third flight-control category is the automation of flight control. Rather than just a statistical summary of accident data related to UA, which can be found elsewhere, this chapter will include reviews of a number of specific accidents related to the categories listed above. The intent is to suggest possible interventions to prevent such accidents in the future.

Risk managers routinely make suboptimal decisions because they are forced to predict environmental response to different management policies in the face of complex environmental challenges, changing environmental conditions, and even changing social priorities. Rather than force risk managers to make single suboptimal management choices, adaptive management explicitly acknowledges the uncertainties at the time of the decision, providing mechanisms to design and institute a set of more flexible alternatives that can be monitored to gain information and reduce the uncertainties associated with future management decisions. Although adaptive management concepts were introduced more than 20 y ago, their implementation has often been limited or piecemeal, especially in remedial decision making. We believe that viable tools exist for using adaptive management more fully. In this commentary, we propose that an adaptive management approach combined with multicriteria decision analysis techniques would result in a more efficient management decision-making process as well as more effective environmental management strategies. A preliminary framework combining the 2 concepts is proposed for future testing and discussion.

The model includes the delamination growth in three domains, namely subcritical, linear, and final fracture. The resistance increases due to matrix cracking and fiber bridging in the case of unidirectional composites; and tow splitting, separation, bridging and breaking in the case of woven/braided fiber composites were included through normalization of the applied load (G Imax) by the instantaneous resistance value (G IR). The proposed method was applied to mode I loaded woven roving glass/vinyl ester delaminated composite. The ASTM standard mode I fracture test was conducted to determine the resistance (G IR) as a function of delamination extension. The fatigue onset life test was conducted to determine the threshold energy release rate, G Ith. Constant amplitude cyclic opening displacement fatigue test was conducted to establish the delamination growth rate (da/dN) as a function of maximum cyclic energy release rate (G Imax). The total life delamination growth rate was found to be where the material constants A, m, D 1, and D 2 were 0.1, 5.4, 8 and 2, respectively. This equation was verified for a block loading and found to accurately predict the delamination length.

In this regard, an analysis is initially carried out between productivity measures and industry profits. Comparisons are also made between the general price level of the economy and several price indexes of the air transportation subsector. Also, an evaluation is conducted of labor compensation in air transportation, the U.S. economy, and other transportation industries. The analysis results in several findings. First, there is a marked association between productivity changes in air transportation and industry profits. Second, the benefit of productivity increases in air transportation does not seem to have transferred to consumers of air passenger services in the form of lower prices. On the other hand, users of scheduled cargo services did seem to benefit from lower prices. Finally, a portion of the benefit of productivity increases went to industry labor in the form of relatively high levels of labor compensation.

The data include 1,860 single-family residential properties from four municipalities with commuter rail service, and three municipalities without commuter rail service. We find some evidence of the capitalization of accessibility to commuter rail stations. Two model specifications suggest that properties located in municipalities with commuter rail stations exhibit values that are between 9.6% and 10.1% higher than properties in municipalities without a commuter rail station. With a third model we detect weak evidence of the capitalization of auto access time or walking time to the stations, suggesting that properties located within a one-half mile buffer of a station have values that are 10.1% higher than properties located outside of this buffer area and that an additional minute of drive time from the station is related to a decrease of 1.6% in property values. Our results also indicate that proximity to commuter rail right-of-way has a significant negative effect on property values, which suggests that for every 1,000 ft. in distance from the commuter rail right-of-way, property values are between $732 and $2,897 higher, all else held equal. At the mean sample values, this result translates into an elasticity of between 0.03 and 0.13, depending on the functional form of the hedonic price equation.

AB - Due to the requirement to maintain and improve the safety record of commercial air transportation in the United States (U.S.) despite increasing traffic, several proactive safety programs have been introduced in recent years. Among these proactive safety programs is a form of Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) known in the U.S. as Flight Operational Quality Assurance (FOQA). FOQA is a program utilizing quantifiable, objective data collected from the air carrier aircraft's data recording system. The data is then analyzed to identify trends and other indicators of potential safety problems. With few exceptions, FOQA data analysis has been rudimentary, often limited to relatively simple statistical methods. The purpose of this study was to introduce a method in which current FOQA methodology can be enhanced with the more sophisticated quality and statistical concepts found in Six Sigma--a structured, data-driven approach built upon to eliminating defects through the reduction of variation in processes. A general introduction to both FOQA and Six Sigma is provided, along with a hypothetical exemplar case study using Six Sigma methodology on a FOQA problem, i.e., tail strikes during takeoff.

Issue Publication Date: 2006. AB - An experiment using a simulated air traffic conflict prediction task with sensor noise was conducted. Measures based on four quantitative methods for modeling human judgment performance in uncertain environments (signal detection theory (SDT), fuzzy signal detection theory, lens modeling, and skill scores) were compared. In addition to individual differences, gender, noise level, and session (experience) effects and their two-way interactions were investigated. Both a fuzzy signal detection theory sensitivity measure and the lens model achievement indicated a significant gender effect, with males outperforming females. Only the skill score indicated a significant gender-noise level interaction and only the fuzzy signal detection theory bias measure indicated a significant noise level-session interaction. The implications of this effort are that analysts should not rely on the results from any single methodology when analyzing human judgment performance in uncertain environments.

AB - Despite the prevalence of procedures in safety critical systems, there has been little focus on developing automated support for procedure following. This document describes a method for leveraging an existing design methodology--procedure context--to provide guidance on the content of displays for this purpose. Procedure context categorizes information used when developing the procedure, but which is typically absent from displays and otherwise unavailable to the operator. In this paper, the method is applied to a pilot flying an instrument approach procedure. After identifying elements of procedure context which could assist the pilot and which are not currently presented, a display was developed which incorporated these elements. A simulator experiment was then run which demonstrated the utility of these elements to the pilot, reducing lateral error and improving situation awareness.

AB - Pilots' retention of aeronautical knowledge learned during private pilot training was studied in four experiments. In the first experiment, ten questions from the FAA private pilot airplane knowledge test were administered to sixty pilots, yielding an average score of 74.8%. Test scores were compared against seven characteristics of the pilots tested: certificates and ratings held, current role in aviation (pilot, CFI, or applicant for additional certificate/rating), total flight time, recent flight experience, reading habits, months passed since last evaluation, and months remaining until next evaluation. These factors explain some of the overall variability in test scores. Three follow-up experiments explored hypotheses about how retention might be affected by pilots' working environment: (1) pilots' knowledge becomes tuned to familiar aircraft charts; (2) difficult-to-remember regulations prompt pilots to substitute simpler rules that still allow them to operate legally; and (3) pilots' geographical region reinforces knowledge about local weather patterns, while knowledge of different weather patterns falls to disuse. The results well support two of these hypotheses but also further demonstrate that there are no simple-to-measure determinants of what aeronautical knowledge will be remembered and forgotten. The experience of everyday flying or teaching, together with recent flight experience and flight review requirements, does not appear to eliminate the need for ongoing study or rehearsal of aeronautical knowledge.

AB - An operational evaluation of the automatic dependent surveillance system and cockpit display of traffic information (CDTI) provided an opportunity to examine how pilot use of CDTI enabled them to maintain predefined spacing intervals from other air craft. Seventy per cent of the controller-issued traffic calls resulted in positive visual acquisitions (83% displayed on CDTI). Approximately 55% of the approach clearances that included instructions to 'follow that traffic' involved communication problems and operational concerns. In light of the findings and the participants' comments, changes to proposed procedures and supporting phraseology will be constructed and evaluated for the approach spacing application.

AB - Aviation is a historically masculine occupation and the under-representation of female pilots in aviation led to the present research on possible gender bias among male pilots. A newly developed 4-factor measure of gender attitude was examined for construct and differential validity. Using data from 2009 pilots from the United States of America, South Africa, Australia and Norway, the 4-factor AGAQ was found to have adequate goodness of fit indices when using confirmatory factor analysis. Females scored higher than males on all factors, and instructors scored higher than pilots did on three factors. There were also differences in scores among pilots from different countries. Results also indicated that the opportunity to fly with the opposite gender and completing Crew Resource Management training also tended to increase scores leading to a more positive perception of female pilots. The benefits, and the limitations, of the measure are discussed.

AB - An earlier study demonstrated how reliance on GPS and moving map displays could significantly degrade pilot navigational awareness when flying under VFR (Casner, 2005). It was hypothesized that the drop in navigational awareness was due to the passive role assumed by pilots when using equipment that automates the navigation task. In this follow-up study, eight pilots used GPS and moving map displays to navigate between the same circuit of checkpoints used in Casner (2005) while performing one additional task: while en route between each pair of checkpoints, pilots were asked to choose and point out three geographical features. The research question was whether or not a greater involvement in the navigation task would result in better pilot performance on the same test of navigational awareness used in Casner (2005). Using the data from Casner (2005) as a control, a significant advantage was indicated for pilots who pointed out geographical features while navigating using GPS and moving maps. This suggests that simple practices that place the pilot in a more active role can help mitigate the 'out-of-the-loop' phenomenon associated with using GPS and moving maps.

AB - The transition of pilots from a traditional cockpit to a modern glass-cockpit has been a training challenge for the last two decades. The arrival of Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA) during the last decade has brought the opportunity to introduce this technology from the beginning of airline pilot training. In this project, three flight instructors responsible for the introduction of TAAs in ab-initio training at a flight school were interviewed on their initial experiences and concerns regarding the introduction. Subsequently, questionnaires were collected from the familiarization training of instructors on the new aircraft and from ab-initio students and instructors after three of the 18 flights leading up to the first solo. Finally, flight instructors involved in the introduction were interviewed. The results showed that anticipated problems with use of displays, aircraft speed, and use of side control proved to have limited impact on the training. The conclusion is that with extensive preparation, introduction of TAA in ab-initio training can be accomplished successfully. However, the expected benefits of this on training and questions on what might be lost in the process need to be addressed by further research.

AB - This study evaluates the association of universal helmet laws with U.S. motorcyclist fatality rates from 1993 through 2002 using climate measures as statistical controls for motorcycling activity via quasi-maximum likelihood generalized linear regression analyses. Results revealed that motorcyclist fatalities and injuries are strongly associated with normalized heating degree days and precipitation inches, and that universal helmet laws are associated with lower motorcyclist fatality rates when these climate measures, and their interaction, are statistically controlled. This study shows that climate measures have considerable promise as indirect measures (proxies) of motorcycling activity in generalized linear regression studies.

Students in collegiate flight training are pursuing careers as professional pilots, and what they initially learn about decision-making will guide their actions throughout their flying careers. Investigating aeronautical decision-making can be a tool for improving the decision-making quality of collegiate flight students and subsequent professional pilots. The more flight students are introduced to the process of aeronautical decision-making, the stronger their understanding of the limitations of their abilities. With the close link between flight safety and decision-making, it is only natural that the safety culture as a whole will be improved through this process. The purpose of this paper is not to determine the effectiveness or validity of the situational judgment test, but illustrate the utilization of the situational judgment test within a collegiate flight training program.

In particular, there has always been an interest in simulating the procedures and practices of operating an aircraft in instrument flight conditions, when no horizon is visible. As the price of flying aircraft increase, there has been an interest in adopting the technology of the microcomputer to bring realistic flight simulation at lower costs to the general aviation market. This paper offers the results of a study of pilot instrument proficiency and how computer-based flight simulation can improve pilot performance. Although practicing instrument approach procedures in a simulation device is not a requirement for recent flight experience under Federal Aviation Regulation 61.57, this study proves that such practice is a valuable resource that pilots need to consider when maintaining, and improving, their instrument flight skills.

This study found relatively high frequencies of occurrence for certain ADM and CRM factors: (a) risk-taking; (b) hazardous attitudes; (c) poor decision-making; (d) pilot error; and (e) failure to utilize all available cockpit resources. One-way analysis of variance statistical tests were used to reject the null hypothesis that accident pilots with hazardous attitudes are as proficient at ADM and CRM skills as accident pilots without hazardous attitudes. This research paper concluded that hazardous attitudes have a measurable, negative effect on a pilot's ADM and CRM skills that can be summarized as follows: (a) more willing to accept high-risk flights; (b) more prone to making bad decisions; (c) more likely to commit pilot errors; and (d) less likely to use all of the available cockpit resources. We propose that research such as this can be used to create effective scenario-based and case-based teaching protocols in the aviation education and flight training environments.

AB - Presented is a classification of effective pilot-in-command behaviors using multidimensional scaling methodology. In this context, effective behavior is defined as that which is conducive to team building and solidarity in the air carrier cockpit. To cover the full spectrum of the construct, a list of 24 behavioral descriptors were derived from prior research. A survey soliciting constructive, team-building leader behaviors in the cockpit was then administered to 48 flight officers and 29 flight attendants employed by a major air carrier. Based on this pool of items, a decompositional method, multiple dimensional scaling, was applied to determine a classification of constructive leader behaviors and their relationship to the exercise of power. The derived classification identified the underlying dimensions, which will hopefully contribute to theory development and direction for further research in improving pilot selection methods.

AB - The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is commencing a massive hiring of air traffic control specialists using a new selection procedure, the Air Traffic Selection and Training (AT-SAT) computerized test battery. Before AT-SAT could be used for hiring purposes, however, the issue of its potential for adverse impact (potential unfair discrimination) had to be addressed. A previous project (Wise, Tsacoumis, Waugh, Putka, & Horn, 2001) reweighed the subtests and adjusted the overall constant to mitigate potential group differences that could result in adverse impact, without unduly compromising validity. A subsequent study (Dattel & King, 2006) used research participants and found that this effort appeared to have achieved its goal of mitigating group differences that could result in adverse impact. The present study endeavors to: 1) describe how AT-SAT functions as an operational selection method with respect to the several applicant pools, and 2) determine how the reweighing effort fares with actual applicants in the goal of reducing/eliminating group differences that could result in adverse impact. Of the 854 applicants who have taken AT-SAT as part of a job application process (rather than as according to a research protocol), 219 applicants (25.64%) voluntarily disclosed their race; gender was known for 253 (29.63%). The results suggested that the reweighing effort is paying dividends as group differences that could result in adverse impact are not in evidence. While the initial numbers reported here are relatively small, the issue of group differences that could result in adverse impact will be continually monitored. Longitudinal validation, comparing AT-SAT results to training and on-the-job performance, is a research priority due to concerns about the overall passing rate of 93.33%, which is higher than the expected passing rate of 67%.

Page Count: 15. Issue Publication Date: 2006. AB - In maintenance, Aviation Safety Action Programs (ASAPs) were designed to encourage air carrier and repair station employees to report their errors or conditions hazardous to safety of flight voluntarily. Such programs have been operational since 1998. This paper presents the results of a survey of 20 organizations, which was conducted to better understand current state of the ASAP programs. A rise in the number of ASAP Memorandum of Understanding and the results of this survey indicate that the ASAP programs are gaining support among an increasing number of maintenance organizations across the country. Successful ASAP programs are found to have strong and consistent support from senior management to the extent that they are able to overcome cases that challenge the corporate disciplinary policy. The resources required to run such programs at different types of maintenance organizations as well as at the local FAA offices are presented. Comprehensive corrective actions resulting from the investigation of ASAP events are reported at three levels of impact: task-level changes, organization-level changes, and industry-level changes. The authors argue that the effectiveness of ASAP programs in maintenance should be measured by the percentage of actual changes at each level rather than the number of total or sole-source reports. As the number of organizations participating in such programs grows, there will be an increased need to share information about intervention strategies and their effectiveness across the participating organizations; therefore, future studies that document a case-by-case analysis of selected ASAP events followed by the development of a common data classification scheme are proposed.

AB - We report on critical incidents in which pilot error occurred during field observations of landing approaches to a mid-sized, controlled airport. These occurrences included a case where a hand-off of air traffic control (ATC) from the airport approach to airport tower was delayed by the pilot, a case where the pilot requested an incorrect runway for a practice instrument approach, and a case where a pilot missed a course correction command from ATC. Each of these cases involves communications errors, where information exchanged from ATC to the pilot was not initially processed by the pilot or the information exchanged was incorrect. We use these cases to demonstrate how modest, pilot-focused design enhancements to the GA human-machine system may help minimize the occurrence of similar errors.

AB - Due to an impending retirement boom, the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has initiated plans to hire 12,500 air traffic control specialists (ATCSs) over the next decade. This is an ambitious objective; accordingly the FAA refined its employee selection process to improve its ability to select-in candidates with the right aptitude and motivation to control traffic and to select-out candidates with a potential medical/occupational risk. In this article, the long-used select-in and select-out process has been reviewed to determine if improvements can be made in predicting candidates' psychological fitness for duty. Employee selection in safety-related occupations is a two-stage process: select-in methods determine who has the aptitude to profit from a training program and, thus, represents the best investment opportunity; and select-out methods assess who represents a potential medical risk and should, therefore, not be trained under any circumstances. But regardless of the method used, however, psychological testing can determine who is currently suffering from a psychiatric disorder, but assessing an applicant for psychopathology he or she might come to manifest during the course of a career is challenging.

AB - The application of flight simulation to meet pilot training needs continues to evolve. Flight simulations built with powerful and inexpensive computers are making high fidelity simulation available as a medium for training ab-initio pilots at Pilot Schools and Training Centers. The researchers conducted an 18-month study that applied an experimental flight-training curriculum comprised of 60% flight training device (FTD) flight and 40% airplane flight to certify Private Pilots under Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 142. The results from the research provided data to ascertain the effective transfer for each flight-training task. Ab-initio student pilots practiced each task to standard in an FTD prior to training in an actual airplane. The researchers measured a significant degree of effective transfer for the majority of flight tasks examined.

AB - Many aeronautical decision-making (ADM) mnemonic-based methods exist. However, there is no empirical research that suggests that they are actually effective in improving decision-making. Klein (1993), in his study of naturalistic decision making, suggested that the decision-making process centers around two processes: situation assessment to generate a plausible course of action and mental simulation to evaluate that course of action for risk management. In this study a short, ADM training course was constructed around two mnemonic methods, SHOR (Stimuli, Hypotheses, Options, and Response) and DESIDE (Detect, Estimate, Set safety objectives, Identify, Do, Evaluate). Forty-one pilots from the Republic of China Tactical Training Wing participated: half received a short ADM training course and half did not. After training, the procedural knowledge underpinning their Situation Assessment and Risk Management ability, two skills essential for successful decision-making, were evaluated using pencil and paper-based knowledge tests based upon several demanding tactical flight situations. These scenarios were designed to encompass the six basic types of decision making described by Orasanu (1993); go/no go decisions; recognition-primed decisions; response selection decisions; resource management decisions; non-diagnostic procedural decisions, and decisions requiring creative problem-solving. The results show gains attributable to the decision making training course in both situation assessment and risk management skills. The results strongly suggest that ADM is trainable and such a training course is effective in improving the bases of in-flight decision-making.

The study uses both destructive and nondestructive tests on full-scale repaired panels to evaluate the repair performance under static tension loading conditions. While most reported studies use small coupon specimens, this paper presents test results of full-scale panels that allow strain field monitoring around the patch. The experimental results presented in this paper are the baseline for more advanced study to evaluate the performance of defective repairs in severe loading conditions (fatigue) that is underway by the authors. The nondestructive tests are performed by Iowa State University while the destructive tests are performed by North Carolina A&T State University. The testing program consists of 14 panels of six-ply (300mm x 675mm) ((-60/60/0)s) quasi-isotropic laminates: three pristine (undamaged parent material panels), three damaged panels without repair, three good repairs, three defective repairs due to inserted engineered flaw, and two repairs with mismatched fiber orientation. Two types of defective repairs are investigated: inserting 1-in. circular disbond between the sixth ply and the parent material forms the first type while the second type is formed by fiber mismatching between the patch and the parent material. Based on the evaluation performed in this study, the restored tensile strength of both defective and good repairs is within 80% of the strength of the pristine panels.

We have applied this technique using the 15N(p,αγ)12C reaction to study the time dependence of the chemical reactions involved in the curing of cement. By using the Dynamitron Tandem accelerator at the Ruhr Universität, Bochum, Germany, we have been able to achieve a few nanometer spatial resolution at the surface of cement grains and to study the hydrogen distributions to a depth of about 2μm. By applying a technique for stopping the chemical reactions at arbitrary times, the time dependence of the chemical reactions involving specific components of cement can be investigated. In addition, the effects of additives on the chemical reactions have been studied, as have materials that are components of concrete.

Early validation efforts indicated that the Functional Capacity Index (pFCI12) was a promising tool for predicting functional loss 12 months post trauma, but that the predictive validity for lower extremity fractures was low. The pFCI12 was recently revised in conjunction with the 2005 revision of the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS). This preliminary study was undertaken to assess the performance of the revised pFCI12 in predicting outcomes for patients with lower extremity trauma. This case review study used the Crash Injury Research and Engineering Research (CIREN) database which includes AIS codes, extensive clinical data and 3- and 12-month outcomes. Generally predicted functional loss at 12 months was greater with the pFCI12 (AIS 2005) than with the original FCI based on AIS 1990. All patients whose pFCI12 scores predicted functional loss experienced some morbidity at 1 year. The pFCI12 appears to provide improved predictions of functional outcome 12-months post-trauma for persons experiencing lower extremity trauma.

This concern may be unjustified for most US pilots because: (a) for the majority of US pilots on 6825 flights, the annual effective dose of ionizing radiation from natural sources (on and off the job) is less than the annual effective dose to non-flying residents of Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 – a six state region in the US where the effective dose to non-flying residents from natural sources is 84% higher than that received by non-flying residents of the US as a whole – and (b) the death rate from cancer in the states in Region 8 ranges from 3% to 26% lower than the average death rate from cancer in the entire US. If epidemiological studies clearly indicate that airline pilots as a group are at an increased risk of developing fatal cancer, perhaps other factors in addition to ionizing radiation are involved. Another possibility is that the method of calculating the radiation dose received during air travel needs reevaluation.

Twenty survival curves were generated from chorizos formulated at a w0 = 0.85–0.97 then stored under four temperature (T ) and air inflow velocity (F ) conditions. The Weibull model parameters (α and β) were determined for every curve. Predicted survival curves agreed with experimental curves with R 2 = 0.945–0.992. Regression models (R 2 = 0.981–0.984) were developed to relate α and β to operating conditions. The times to one- and two-log reduction in count (t 1D and t 2D ) were derived from the Weibull model in terms of α and β. A parametric study revealed that L. monocytogenes survival was most sensitive to a w0 between 0.90 and 0.95. The inactivation of L. monocytogenes could be maximized with higher T and lower a w0 ; however, F did not significantly influence survival.

Among various approaches studied, a 60-m HP-5MS (0.25mm i.d., 0.25μm film thickness) was successfully used to characterize the following compounds that were derivatized with (−)-α-methoxy-α-trifloromethylphenylacetic acid (MTPA): (+)-cathinone, (−)-cathinone, (+)-norephedrine, (−)-norephedrine, (+)-norpseudoephedrine, (+)-ephedrine, (−)-ephedrine, (−)-pseudoephedrine, (+)-pseudoephedrine. (−)-Cathine standard was not available, but should also be resolvable under this analytical procedure. This method was successfully applied to the analysis of selected cold remedies for characterizing the enantiomeric compositions of the compounds present in these samples.

Each operates on a different principle but is calibrated in the same way. However, HRR results from these two test methods do not agree in most cases. For the present study, the OSU was modified to measure oxygen consumption and sensible enthalpy (temperature rise) of the apparatus in addition to the usual sensible enthalpy of the exhaust gases during the test. After calibration, total sensible heat (exhaust gases+apparatus) and oxygen consumption methods gave similar results for thin samples in the OSU. However, OSU results for thin samples did not agree with results from the cone calorimeter (ASTM 1354/ISO 1556) unless the HRR history in the cone calorimeter was corrected for smearing that results from dilution of the combustion gases with air in the sample chamber, exhaust duct, and scrubbers and the response time of the oxygen analyzer.

Simultaneous equations models were calibrated for two vehicle categories classified in a National Cooperative Highway Research Program project. One represents normal emitting vehicles, while the other represents high emitting vehicles. Among various vehicle operation conditions, only those represented by Bag 2 of the Federal Test Procedure cycle were considered in this study. The developed models were evaluated based on the criteria of root mean square errors and correlation coefficients between the estimated and measured emissions. The results indicate that the correlation between emissions of CO and HC can be significantly identified; thus, these two emission types should be included in the simultaneous equations models. In addition, the results indicate that simultaneous equations models can achieve better and reliable emissions estimation results compared with other vehicle emissions models, which implies that it is worthwhile to apply simultaneous equations models to other operation conditions.

This response, implemented in 1996, focused on moving children to a rear seat and increasing proper restraint usage. Method: Fatality trends from 1992 through 1996 and from 1996 through 2003 were examined for younger children (ages 0–3) and for older children (ages 4–12). Results: Prior to 1997, a steady reduction in unrestrained deaths (among younger children) was offset by increases in restrained deaths (among younger and older children), increases in rear-seat deaths (among younger children), and increases in front-seat deaths (among older children). After 1996, there were significant decreases in fatalities in both age groups, with larger and more immediate reductions among the younger children. The largest reductions were immediately after 1996, when younger-child deaths declined by 16%, and after 1999, when deaths among both age groups declined by about 16%. Conclusions: The immediate reduction in front-seat deaths among younger children, particularly infants, appears to have been closely associated with the nationwide public information efforts implemented in 1996. Later reductions in front-seat and unrestrained deaths, among both younger and older children, were likely associated with the combination of legislative, enforcement, and public information programs, which increased after 1999. Impact on Industry: The findings suggest that a large expenditure of resources by public and private-sector organizations after 1996 resulted in the prevention of hundreds of deaths among young children. In addition, the results provide insights with regard to the categories of deaths most affected by such programs and issues that deserve additional attention.

The impetus for this focus on wetland protection emerged largely from the 1972 amendments to the Clean Water Act, which added the section 404 authority to the regulatory program administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Federal Highway Administration administers funds derived from the federal gas tax reimburse state departments of transportation for road construction and the activities related to road building. Highway projects that receive federal funding must comply with federal environmental laws and regulations. Subsequent policy developments have also shaped the interplay between U.S. transportation policy and wetland management. In 1992 and 1994, the Federal Highway Administration issued environmental policy statements that stressed the importance of incorporating environmental stewardship into all activities.

A mitigation bank is a wetland that has been restored, created, enhanced or preserved, which is then set aside to compensate for future conversions of wetlands fix development activities. Landowners may develop their own mitigation banks, and a government agency, corporation, or nonprofit organization may create a bank under an agreement with a regulatory agency. Some state transportation agencies have entered into such agreements and created publicly run banks, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) was one of the first to do so. MnDOT recognized this problem and also realized that the currency should account for wetland functions beyond wildlife values. In 2002 the Minnesota legislature amended the state Wetland Conservation Act.

The problem of interest here is the nonlinear dynamic behavior of pile foundations. It is shown in this paper that soil parameters needed for simplified dynamic analysis of a single pile may be back-calculated from the dynamic response of the pile measured in the field. A pile was excited by applying a large horizontal dynamic force at the pile-head level, and the response measured. In this paper, two different (simplified) methods of modeling the dynamic response of the pile are considered. One of the methods is based on the Winkler foundation approach, with the spring constant characterized by the so-called nonlinear p–y springs. The second method is based on the equivalent-linear finite element approach, with the nonlinearity of shear modulus and damping accounted for by employing the so-called degradation relationships. In the latter, the effect of interface nonlinearity is also considered. Starting with best estimates of soil parameters, the experimental data on the response of pile is used to fine-tune the values of the parameters, and thereby, to estimate parameters that are representative of in situ soil conditions.

Demonstrating the presence or absence of opiate compounds in postmortem fluids and/or tissues derived from fatal civil aviation accidents can have serious legal consequences and may help determine the cause of impairment and/or death. However, the consumption of poppy seed products can result in a positive opiate drug test. We have developed a simple method for the simultaneous determination of eight opiate compounds from one extraction. These compounds are hydrocodone, dihydrocodeine, codeine, oxycodone, hydromorphone, 6-monoacetylmorphine, morphine, and thebaine. The inclusion of thebaine is notable as it is an indicator of poppy seed consumption and may help explain morphine/codeine positives in cases where no opiate use was indicated. This method incorporates a Zymark® RapidTrace™ automated solid-phase extraction system, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and trimethyl silane (TMS) and oxime-TMS derivatives. The limits of detection ranged from 0.78 to 12.5ng/mL. The linear dynamic range for most analytes was 6.25–1600ng/mL. The extraction efficiencies ranged from 70 to 103%. We applied this method to eight separate aviation fatalities where opiate compounds had previously been detected.

Timely and accurate estimate of such emissions becomes very important for policy-making and effective control measures. However, lack of traffic data and outdated emission software make this task difficult. This research has demonstrated a new method that facilitates the vehicular emission inventories at the local level by using shorter-time Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) traffic data along with the latest U.S. Environment Protection Agency (EPA) emission modeling software, MOBILE6. The conversion methodology was developed for converting readily available HPMS traffic volume data into EPA MOBILE-based traffic classifications, and a corresponding software program was written for automating the process. EPA MOBILE6 model was used to obtain emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compound (VOC), and cabon monoxide (CO) emitted by the parent traffic and subsampled traffic data, and these emissions were additionally compared. The case study has shown that the difference of the magnitude between the emission estimates produced by certain subsampled and parent traffic data are minor, indicating that subsampled HPMS data can be used for reporting parent traffic emissions. It was also observed that traffic emissions follow a Weibull distribution, and NOx emissions were more sensitive to the traffic data composition than VOC and CO. Lastly, use of average emission values of 20 or 30 consecutive minutes appears to be valid for representing hourly emissions.

The particular application of interest is modeling the interaction of a broadband vertical bending mode with transverse-type defects in railroad tracks. This topic is part of a broader project on high-speed defect detection in rails by long-range ultrasonic inspections. Reflection coefficient spectra in the 20–45kHz range are obtained for four different sizes and three different orientations of transverse head flaws. A preliminary study of Lamb waves in a free plate helps drawing modeling guidelines for the rail.

AB - Introduction: Oculomotor responses related to the pupil light reflex (PLR) and saccadic velocity may be sensitive to the effects of sleepiness and therefore could be used to evaluate an individual's fitness for duty. Methods: There were 12 normal subjects who completed an 8-d study. They were allowed 8 h in bed on the first three nights, 4 h in bed on the fourth night, and then were sleep deprived for the following 64 h. Approximately every 3 h, subjects performed a battery of tests which included a 45-s automated oculomotor test and a 40-min PC-based driving simulator task. Sleepiness was evaluated with a self-assessment instrument. Subjects were allowed 10 h of recovery sleep following sleep deprivation. Results: Oculomotor results for nine subjects showed a significant increase in latency to pupil constriction and a significant decrease in saccadic velocity with total, but not partial, sleep deprivation. The most robust changes during sleep deprivation occurred for saccadic velocity. A night of recovery sleep reversed the effects of total sleep deprivation on latency to pupil constriction and saccadic velocity. Subjective sleepiness and off-road accidents were found to significantly increase over the sleep deprivation period. A significant positive correlation between increasing latency to pupil constriction and increasing sleepiness and driving accidents, and a significant negative correlation between decreasing saccadic velocity and increasing sleepiness and driving accidents during sleep deprivation were found. Conclusion: These findings suggest that oculomotor functions, particularly saccadic velocity, are feasible for assessing neurophysiological changes associated with and predictive of sleep deprivation-induced operational performance degradation.

Epoxies and their curing agents (aromatic diamines) containing phosphorus were synthesized and used to prepare epoxy formulations. Phosphorus was incorporated within the backbone of the epoxy resin and not used as an additive. The resulting cured neat epoxy formulations were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, propane torch test, elemental analysis, microscale combustion calorimetry, and fire calorimetry. Several formulations showed excellent flame retardation with phosphorous contents as low as 1.5% by weight. The fracture toughness and compressive strength of several cured formulations showed no detrimental effect due to phosphorus content. The chemistry and properties of these new epoxy formulations are discussed.

From 25 initial candidates, we selected seven leading indicators, using various screening techniques and modern time series models. A composite leading index was constructed and found to perform well in predicting transportation reference cycles. The leading index signals downturns in the transportation sector 10 months ahead and upturns six months ahead on average. The index predicted the latest recession in transportation with a lead of 20 months. The analysis also confirms the predictive contents of the composite leading index (CLI) in relation to transportation growth cycles. These evaluation criteria ensure accurate forecasts of the general state of the transportation sector in a timely fashion.

This report does not address the safety benefits of PTC. These were previously quantified by the Rail Safety Advisory Committee (RSAC), which identified nearly a thousand "PPAs" (PTC-preventable accidents) on U.S. railroads over a 12-year period, and determined the savings to be realized from each avoided accident. The RSAC finding was that avoidance of these PPAs was not, by itself, sufficient (from a strictly economic point of view) to justify an investment in PTC. This paper presents the results of the analysis. It is important to recognize, however, that the state of the art in making these estimates is not sufficiently mature to make exact answers feasible. Presented here are the best estimates now possible, with observations as to how better information may be developed. Benefits were estimated in the above areas and the cost of deploying PTC on the Class I network (99,000 route miles and 20,000 locomotives) were calculated. The conclusions of the analysis were as follows: deployment of PTC on the Class I railroad network (99,000 route miles, 20,000 locomotives) would cost between $2.3 billion and $4.4 billion over five years; annual benefits, once the system was fully implemented, were estimated at $2.2 billion to $3.8 billion; and internal rate of return was estimated (depending on timing and cost) to be between 44% and 160%.

AB - The goal of this systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of programs promoting the use of designated drivers in preventing alcohol-impaired driving and alcohol-related crashes in the United States and other developed countries. To be included in the review, a study had to (1) be primary research published in a peer-reviewed journal, technical report, or government report; (2) be published in English before July 1, 2003; (3) meet minimum research quality criteria for study design and execution; and (4) evaluate the effects of a designated driver program using one or more of the outcomes specified below. Although the studies reviewed indicate that incentive programs to promote designated driver use may result in small increases in the number of self-identified designated drivers, much remains to be learned regarding the influence of such programs on the decision to use a designated driver, alcohol-impaired driving, and alcohol-related crashes. Until we have stronger evidence regarding the effects of incentive programs on these variables, it will be difficult to determine their public health impact. Studies of the effects of incentive programs implemented in drinking establishments throughout a community would be ideal sources for such evidence. Well-controlled studies of this nature would be difficult and costly to develop, but the evaluation of existing community-based, designated driving programs would be very helpful in providing preliminary estimates of the public health benefits of designated driver incentive programs. Future studies of designated driver programs conducted in individual drinking establishments should consider consistently collecting information on the number of drinking groups in the establishment during the observation period. This information would allow for comparisons across studies. Second, it would also be helpful if such studies were supplemented with qualitative evaluations that examined the effect of incentive programs on people's choices about selecting a designated driver. Finally, if and when there are sufficient data on the effectiveness of designated driver programs, information on the cost-effectiveness of both the incentive and population-based campaigns would be helpful for program planning.

AB - A systematic review of the literature to assess the effectiveness of school-based programs for reducing drinking and driving and riding with drinking drivers was conducted for The Guide to Community Preventive Services (Community Guide). Thirteen peer-reviewed papers or technical reports, which met specified quality criteria and included evaluation outcomes of interest, were included in the final review. These papers evaluated three classes of interventions: school-based instructional programs, peer organizations, and social norming campaigns. The instructional programs varied widely with respect to several variables identified in previous research as being potentially important to program effectiveness, including exposure time, program content, and degree of interaction with students. Nonetheless, nearly all programs had some interactive component, rather than being purely didactic in their approach. According to the Community Guide rules of evidence, there is sufficient evidence to recommend as effective school-based instructional programs for reducing riding with drinking drivers. However, there is insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of these programs for reducing drinking and driving. Despite some evidence of beneficial effects on the outcomes of interest, there is also insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of peer organizations and social norming campaigns, due to the small number of available studies. Future studies should strive to improve our understanding of the extent to which outcomes of school-based education programs are dependent on content, delivery method, and the perceived status of the person delivering the intervention.

This paper provides a crash comparison between the TDI and the SPI interchanges for intersection related crashes on the cross road only. The SPIs considered in this study are without frontage roads. Data from 27 diamond interchanges (DIs) in Washington were used in building a negative binomial model to predict total crashes and injury/fatality based on the off-ramp flow, cross-road flow, and separation distance between left and right ramp terminals. Crash analysis of 13 SPI sites was used to compare with newly developed crash models of diamond interchanges. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was applied for safety comparisons between the SPI and TDI. The safety comparison did not reveal a significant difference between the two types of interchanges neither for total crash. However, the single point urban interchanges were found to be safer than the comparable DIs for injury/fatality frequencies.

This visually guided procedure is known as the landing flare but is poorly understood and underreported. To stimulate interest in and accentuate the importance of the landing flare, in this study, we analyzed 6,655 National Transportation Safety Board accident reports and surveyed 92 aviators in two Part 141 flight schools. The results show that flare accidents accounted for 17.88% of landing accidents, that the landing flare was equated with the roundout, and that the procedures used to round out the aircraft were obscure. Practical recommendations are provided for future studies and flight training instruction.

They create safety hazards for pilots, constrain the usable airspace for air traffic control (ATC), and reduce the overall capacity of the NAS. A system-wide dissemination of weather information to controllers could theoretically improve safety and efficiency. Problem: However, it is currently unclear what weather information would be beneficial for tactical operations. Furthermore, no previous research has empirically evaluated optimal presentation designs for ATC weather displays. Ill-designed weather displays can cause safety hazards by presenting redundant information (i.e., by increasing the cognitive load) and display clutter (e.g., by interfering with the visual extraction of traffic data). Method: In the present paper, we outline our use of cognitive work analysis (CWA) techniques for the assessment of weather information needs for terminal controllers. Results: Specifically, we describe how the CWA modeling tools helped us reveal instances in the terminal domain where weather information is lacking or insufficiently disseminated. We used our CWA results to drive the development of weather display concepts and to set up a high-fidelity simulation capability. Impact on Industry: By means of high-fidelity simulations, we can empirically evaluate controller weather information needs in order to propose weather displays for increased aircraft safety and efficiency of terminal operations.

This paper addresses motor carrier safety from the perspective of the firm, developing the theoretical framework for firm safety decisions. Additionally, this paper tests the relationship between firm safety performance and safety practices, new safety technologies, and firm marketing strategies. By testing the impact of the safety performance marketing strategy on carrier accident rates, it can be shown that firm managers have control over the safety performance of their firms through management decisions.

AB - Experimental research on the effects of cellular phone conversations on driving indicates that the phone task interferes with many driving-related functions, especially with older drivers. Unfortunately in past research (1) the dual task conditions were not repeated in order to test for learning, (2) the 'phone tasks' were not representative of real conversations, and (3) most often both the driving and the phone tasks were experimenter-paced. In real driving drivers learn to time-share various tasks, they can pace their driving to accommodate the demands of a phone conversation, and they can even partially pace the phone conversation to accommodate the driving demands. The present study was designed to better simulate real driving conditions by providing a simulated driving environment with repeated experiences of driving while carrying two different hands-free 'phone' tasks with different proximities to real conversations. In the course of five sessions of driving and using the phone, there was a learning effect on most of the driving measures. In addition, the interference from the phone task on many of the driving tasks diminished over time as expected. Finally, the interference effects were greater when the phone task was the often-used artificial math operations task than when it was an emotionally involving conversation, when the driving demands were greater, and when the drivers were older. Thus, the deleterious effects of conversing on the phone are very real initially, but may not be as severe with continued practice at the dual task, especially for drivers who are not old.

JO - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry JF - Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry Y1 - 2005/02// VL - 24 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 25 EP - 25 SN - 07307268 AB - Increasing evidence indicates widespread occurrence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in municipal effluent discharges and surface waters. Studies that characterize the fate and effects of PPCPs in aquatic systems are limited, and to our knowledge, data regarding pharmaceutical accumulation in fish of effluent-dominated ecosystems have not been previously reported. In the present study, fish populations were sampled from a reference stream and an effluent-dominated stream in north Texas, USA. Lepomis macrochirus, Ictalurus punctatus, Cyprinus carpio, and Pomoxis nigromaculatus were killed; the liver, brain, and lateral filet tissues dissected; and the tissues stored at -80 ° C until analysis. Fish tissues were extracted using solid-phase extraction and then analyzed by gas chromatography--mass spectrometry in the negative chemical ionization mode. The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) fluoxetine and sertraline and the SSRI metabolites norfluoxetine and desmethylsertraline were detected at levels greater than 0.1 ng/g in all tissues examined from fish residing in a municipal effluent-dominated stream. To our knowledge, the present study is the first report of SSRI residues in fish residing within municipal effluent-dominated systems.

Among the models covered are: National Energy Modeling System (NEMS); MARKAL-MACRO; MiniCAM;. Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Transportation (GREET) Model; and Transitional Alternative Fuels and Vehicles (TAFV) Model. These models have been used by the U.S. Congress and federal agencies to assess U.S. strategies to meet the Kyoto Accord, which would require the United States to maintain U.S. carbon emissions at 7% below 1990 levels between 2008 and 2012. In this paper, each model is described and its capabilities and limitations highlighted. Model perspectives are provided from a user's viewpoint, so that potential users will have a full understanding of the capabilities of these models and the resources needed to build, update, and maintain them.

This article presents an innovative mad-pricing strategy that could make great strides in achieving national, state, and local transportation goals. Known as FAIR (fast and intertwined regular) highway networks, the strategy converts the existing metropolitan freeway network during peak periods only into a premium-service, free-flowing freeway network that provides new fast, frequent, and inexpensive bus service, free premium service for carpools, and premium service for single-occupant vehicles paying a toll that varies to manage demand and keep the freeway congestion free. A FAIR highway network will be self- financing and economically efficient. Surpluses may also be available to address new transportation capacity needs in growing areas. The concept can gain support from transportation stakeholders if its benefits are carefully explained and demonstrated through a pilot project.

AB - I present data on the psychometric characteristics and construct validity of two Likert-type scales constructed to assess pilots' attitudes. These new scales were developed to assess the factors (Antiauthority, Macho, Invulnerability, Impulsivity, and Resignation) that have been suggested by previous research as being related to pilots' involvement in accidents. I compared results from the new scales with results from an ipsative scale contained in training developed by the Federal Aviation Administration. The results clearly demonstrate the superiority, both in terms of psychometric characteristics and construct validity, of the Likert-type scales. I suggest that the new scales should be used in those instances in which accurate measurement of the attitudes is needed, specifically to assess the contribution of pilots' attitudes to accident involvement and to assess of the impact of training.

AB - Maintenance errors are known to be a key cause of aviation mishaps and the search for their causes is now given high priority in the aviation industry. In parallel with the search for causes, research efforts are focusing also on the ways in which various background factors link together to influence safety outcomes. The present study set out to validate a structural model wherein psychological strain is depicted as a major contributor to maintenance errors through the direct influence of strain on maintenance errors and also via its role as a mediator of the effects of safety climate on errors. The Maintenance Environment Survey (MES) was administered to 150 personnel responsible for maintenance of a large military helicopter fleet (Fogarty, 2004). Structural equation modelling then was used to test the fit of the mediation model. The findings supported claims that the effect of safety climate on errors is at least partially mediated by individual level factors, such as psychological strain. In our efforts to secure better safety outcomes, we therefore should maintain a dual focus on organisational and individual level variables. Regular administration of safety climate and psychological health surveys can help to achieve this aim.

AB - Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) has been used extensively to analyze accidents involved in military and civil aviation in the USA over the past several years (e.g. Shappell & Wiegmann 2001; 2003 & 2004; & Wiegmann & Shappell 1997; 2001a; 2001b; 2001c & 2003). However, with increasing world-wide use of the framework there is now a need to examine the reliability and applicability of the HFACS in different countries and cultures. Hofstede (1984) identified four different dimensions of culture, which may affect the social interactions of aircrew and impact aviation safety. This research examined the applicability of the HFACS framework for the analysis of accidents in a military, collectivist, high power-distance culture, the Republic of China (R.O.C.) Air Force. As a secondary objective, it also examined the inter-rater reliability of the 18 categories of HFACS framework. A total of 523 accidents occurring in the R.O.C. Air Force between 1978 and 2002 were analyzed. The inter-rater reliability, using Cohen's Kappa, was between 0.440 and 0.826, which was indicative of moderate agreement to substantial agreement (Landis & Koch, 1977). Differences were observed between USA and R.O.C. at the HFACS levels of organizational influence and unsafe supervision. The findings of this research highlighted critical areas of human factors in R.O.C. military aviation in need of further safety initiatives, such as setting up stress management and confidential counseling programs for military pilots, improving the attitude of military pilots toward Crew Resource Management (CRM), improving the professional supervisory training for supervisors, and effective management of organizational resources for aviation operations.

AB - A laboratory experiment was performed to better understand the effects of visual conditions on pilot performance, workload, and situation awareness during a simulated approach to a regional airport for both VFR and IFR flights. Eight VFR-only pilots and eight IFR-rated pilots performed landing approaches during daytime, nighttime, favorable weather, and deteriorating weather conditions using a medium-fidelity flight simulator. Few differences were found between VFR-only and IFR-rated pilots, or within each of the two pilot groups, in terms of objective flight performance. However, key differences in workload and situation awareness were exhibited between VFR-only and IFR-rated pilots, and within the two pilot groups, when conducting an approach under varying environmental conditions (nighttime, deteriorating weather). Understanding these performance differences in pilots during VFR and IFR helps inform the design of technologies to meet the demand of future aviation challenges.

Throughout airline history, the dispatch function has not received the attention it has deserved in comparison to other professions in the air carrier industry. Today, the aviation industry, including the Airline Dispatchers Federation (ADF) and its members, is searching for the factors that have the greatest effect on the job of the airline Dispatcher. Preliminary research was undertaken to determine factors that may enhance or hinder the performance of the Dispatchers. A total of 19 Dispatchers were interviewed from both a major carrier and a low-cost carrier. The results of the interviews suggested that Dispatchers would like a stronger backing by management, as well as improved technology in the workplace.

Twenty-seven pilots enrolled in a university flight technology program were randomly assigned to an experimental or a control group. Pilots flew pretest and posttest simulated flights on a Frasca 141 FTD and 20 task prioritization challenges were embedded within each flight scenario. Pretest task prioritization performance of the two groups was similar. During two weeks between pretest and posttest the experimental group participated in a concurrent task management training course and the control group did not. A Mann-Whitney U test rejected the null hypothesis, indicating a positive training effect for experimental group pilots. These results support training multi-tasking skills in single-pilot operations.

AB - Prompted by Congressional direction, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) instituted a means of assessing employee attitudes following the 1981 air traffic controllers' strike. The Employee Attitude Survey (EAS) has been administered nine times since its inception. The 2003 EAS contained 129 items organized into three major sections: (1) Indicators of Satisfaction, (2) Management and Work Environment, and (3) Respondent Demographics. The 22,720 valid surveys returned represented a 46% response rate. Seventy-one percent of respondents indicated that they were somewhat or very satisfied with their jobs. Most employees (81%) were also committed to the FAA, satisfied with their compensation (65%), and satisfied with their immediate supervisors (61%). Overall, the FAA has a committed workforce with a high level of job satisfaction. However, only 21% of FAA employees agreed that corrective actions are taken to deal with poor performers. Performance management is a common problem for many organizations. A corporate plan addressing several areas identified as needing improvement on the 2003 EAS is discussed.

This study was intended to offer a better understanding of travelers' behavior through ranking of specific options offered by the airlines as well as their response to air transportation issues. The first area explored the basis and range of quality highlighting the perceptions of frequent travelers. This section correlated with the Airline Quality Rating (AQR) which focuses on airline performance features significant to air travel consumers. The second area provided insight into what factors go into selecting a specific airline. This included the level of importance participants assigned to key concerns. The third area focused on consumer complaints and tied into the United States Department of Transportation Air Travel Consumer Report for added validity. Complaints typically centered on the issues of handling cancellations or delays. Rude treatment by airline employees and loss of luggage also were significant problems. The fourth area explored the impact on airline travel from the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (9/11). This included the number, if any, of business and or pleasure trips that were canceled in response to 9/11. The survey results indicated the majority of respondents did not cancel any trips. Of those that did cancel, typically only one trip was affected. Overall, the survey results provided an indication of consumer behavior and response to the changing air transportation environment within the demographic of frequent business and leisure travelers.

AB - Personal computer-based aviation training devices (PCATDs) have been shown to support primary flight training. Positive results have been shown for fixed-wing aircraft only. This research investigated which tasks from U.S. Army Initial Entry Rotary Wing (IERW) training could be supported by a PCATD. Sixteen aviators representing both highly experienced and student helicopter pilots evaluated the ability of a commercial PCATD, running Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000TM Professional Edition, to support the seventy-one flight tasks comprising the IERW Common Core curriculum. Aviators performed each task one or more times in the PCATD before rating it on a four-point scale. Additional data were gathered on attitudes toward simulation and computer literacy, as well as comments and criticisms. Results showed remarkable agreement between experienced aviators and students. The PCATD was judged as best supporting Instrument Flight Training, especially tasks involving radio navigation. Tasks from Primary Flight Training, especially tasks requiring hovering, were judged as less well supported. The most frequently stated positive comment was that the PCATD would be valuable in training navigation instruments and procedures. The three most frequent criticisms concerned narrow field of view, poor visual depth cues, and inability to perform hovering flight tasks.

AB - This study examines the extent to which skills acquired using advanced avionics found in a small technically advanced aircraft (TAA) transfer to more sophisticated equipment found in a modern jet transport. Eight pilots were trained to proficiency on twenty-eight procedures using the GPS navigation computer, autopilot, and flight director system found in a small technically advanced aircraft. Eight other pilots did not receive the training. All sixteen pilots were then tested on their ability to perform the same procedures using a computer-based simulator of the flight management and guidance systems found in a popular jet transport. Pilots attempted the jet transport procedures with no prior exposure to the equipment, no training, and no reference materials. Pilots who received the TAA training successfully completed 83% of all procedures in the jet transport, while pilots in the control group achieved an average success rate of 54%. Further analysis of the data showed that much of the control group's success was attributable to superficial strategies guided by labels that appear on the knobs and buttons of the equipment, and that their scores averaged only 22% on procedures for which no label cues were available. The results cast a strong vote for transfer of learning between the two types of equipment, and for the use of small technically advanced aircraft to train pilots who will later transition to the commercial jet fleet.

AB - A type of instrumented approach referred to as the pilot-monitored approach may have safety advantages over standard instrumented approaches, but there are insufficient data to determine the extent of its value. Likewise, there are no federal standards or guidelines in regards to its training or procedures, nor is information readily available on its practice. However, the catastrophic crash of Korean Air Flight 801 highlighted a need for research on the pilot-monitored approach. This paper presents the results of an initial research effort designed to obtain basic information on issues such as the frequency of its use and its perceived value. The research used a questionnaire posted on the World Wide Web to survey professional pilots about their experiences with and knowledge of the pilot-monitored approach, as well as their assessments of its safety and utility. The analysis focused on responses from 205 pilots who held either a commercial or an airline transport certificate. Results suggested that many pilots view the pilot-monitored approach as a safe and valuable means of executing instrumented approaches. However, the findings also showed that there is much uncertainty about very basic aspects of the pilot-monitored approach, including its definition, role in aircraft with auto-land capability, and the existence of federal policy toward it. The results suggested that further investigation is warranted to determine whether there is a need to standardize training and/or procedures for the pilot-monitored approach.

AB - The purpose of this study was to examine the nature and extent of the understanding of Newtonian physics among science students. This study investigated differential effects of three different instructional treatments: Computer Text Instruction (CTI), Computer Text-Graphic Instruction (CTGI), and Computer-Based Instruction (CBI). These treatments exposed areas of the subjects' lack of understanding of physics concepts, which were measured by the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) to determine the students' misunderstandings of Newtonian physics concepts. The sample consisted of 90 undergraduate students, with non-physics majors, enrolled in the 'Physics for Life Science' course at the University of Oklahoma. The results indicated that students who used the CBI lesson did significantly better with respect to understanding Newton's laws than students using the CTGI or CTI lessons. Air traffic controller trainees and science students are alike in that space-time concepts and reasoning ability of facts are equal components of course curricula.

The reliability, consistency, and dependability of weather systems play an essential role in pilots' decision making under critical conditions. The goal of this study was to examine pilots' workload, situation awareness (SA), and trust in weather systems during critical weather events as a function of time pressure, role assignment, pilots' rank, weather display, and weather system. Results partially supported our hypotheses. Pilots' workload significantly increased as they approached the weather event. Consistent with previous research, Captains reported lower SA than First Officers (FO). As expected, when the NEXRAD system failed to provide an indication of the weather event at the specified waypoint, pilots' SA decreased as they approached the weather threat. As predicted, pilots trusted the onboard system more than the NEXRAD system, particularly when these systems displayed conflicting information as pilots' approached the weather threat. Our findings have important implications for the field of commercial aviation. Airlines should consider a change in role assignment philosophy. Airlines should also consider encouraging pilots to make deviation decisions around weather events as soon as they notice them. Last, our findings showed support for the added benefit of providing pilots with broader information regarding the potential weather threat using the NEXRAD system. Future research efforts should explore improvements to data link technology so that NEXRAD information can be presented in real time. Such technological improvements may increase the reliability, believability, and dependability of the NEXRAD system, and ultimately avoid the distrust associated with conflicting information.

AB - Good decision making and the exercise of good judgment have been issues of interest to the aviation profession and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for many years. The traditional step-by-step model of decision making has had a long life, but has failed to serve pilots in the real world very well. Aviation decisions are risky, time constrained, fraught with variables, and seldom present the decision maker, the pilot, with anything approaching complete information. As such, they are very different from the leisurely decisions usually associated with the step-by-step or 'classical' method. This article examines the research and experience of the last 20 years that examines real world decision making by aviators and others in similarly placed positions. It examines two models of decision making which are much better suited to aviation and comments on their potential for wider application in the profession.

By developing scenarios to tell a story of the future, planners and the public recognize the interaction among these forces, determine the planning activities that can be done today, and determine those adaptable to a shifting future. Scenario planning is not intended to replace traditional planning practices. It is a process that can be applied to recognize the range of outcomes in the future, which can then be fed into the traditional transportation planning process.

JO - Journal of Physical Chemistry B JF - Journal of Physical Chemistry B Y1 - 2004/11/15/ VL - 108 IS - 46 M3 - Article SP - 17783 EP - 17790 SN - 15206106 AB - The nature of water adjacent to solid silicate surfaces in kanemite, rehydrated zeolite A, rehydrated highly porous glass, rehydrated high surface area silica gel, and the hydration products of tricalcium silicate has been investigated with 2H NMR techniques and calorimetry. The room temperature 2H NMR quadrupole echo spectra of all samples show a sharp central resonance that corresponds to 2H2O. The kanemite, porous glass, and silica gel spectra show in addition powder patterns that were assigned, based on previous findings for kanemite, to silanol -OH groups experiencing rapid 3-fold jumps or rotational diffusion about the Si-O bond. The spectrum of hydrated tricalcium silicate shows in addition to the aqueous peak a rigid powder pattern that is assigned to Ca(O2H)2. Spectra obtained at -120 and -150 °C for the kanemite sample show that the qcc values for the aqueous deuterons range from 180 to 210 kHz, as would be expected for the different water environments observed in the X-ray structure of kanemite. Room temperature 2H T1 data obtained at two magnetic fields for kanemite are exactly matched with theoretical calculations that assume rapid tetrahedral jumps of the 2H nuclei (2.0 × 108 s-1) in a solid-state lattice similar to those observed in 2H2O ice below the freezing point. The T1 data cannot be matched with isotropic rotational diffusion as would be expected for liquid water. The T1 data for low loadings of 2H2O in zeolite A are also matched with the tetrahedral jump model. T1 data for the other samples are consistent with rapid exchange of 2H nuclei or 2H2O molecules between solid-state surface water experiencing rapid tetrahedral jumps and liquid-state water farther from the surface. Heat evolution observed during hydration of all samples is consistent with the heat of fusion expected for a liquid to solid phase transition for the surface water.

T1 - Ethanol formation in unadulterated postmortem tissues JO - Forensic Science International JF - Forensic Science International Y1 - 2004/11/10/ VL - 146 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 17 EP - 24 SN - 03790738 AB - During the investigation of aviation accidents, postmortem samples obtained from fatal accident victims are submitted to the FAA’s Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) for toxicological analysis. During toxicological evaluations, ethanol analysis is performed on all cases. Many species of bacteria, yeast, and fungi have the ability to produce ethanol and other volatile organic compounds in postmortem specimens. The potential for postmortem ethanol formation complicates the interpretation of ethanol-positive results from accident victims. Therefore, the prevention of ethanol formation at all steps following specimen collection is a priority. Sodium fluoride is the most commonly used preservative for postmortem specimens. Several studies have been published detailing the effectiveness of sodium fluoride for the prevention of ethanol formation in blood and urine specimens; however, our laboratory receives blood or urine in approximately 70% of cases. Thus, we frequently rely on tissue specimens for ethanol analysis. The postmortem tissue specimens received by our laboratory have generally been subjected to severe trauma and may have been exposed to numerous microbial species capable of ethanol production. With this in mind, we designed an experiment utilizing unadulterated tissue specimens obtained from aviation accident victims to determine the effectiveness of sodium fluoride at various storage temperatures for the prevention of microbial ethanol formation. We found that without preservative, specimens stored at 4 °C for 96 h showed an increase in ethanol concentration ranging from 22 to 75 mg/hg (average 42±15 mg/hg). At 25 °C, these same specimens showed an increase ranging from 19 to 84 mg/hg (average 45±22 mg/hg). With the addition of 1.00% sodium fluoride, there was no significant increase in ethanol concentration at either temperature.

The instrument is used to quickly and unobtrusively measure bridge girder deflections under static loading. The system can be set up in the median or shoulder of the roadway under the bridge without altering traffic. Data can be collected on multiple girders from one measurement location without requiring access to the girders, and no special targets are required on the girders. As a result, this type of a system can greatly speedup the process of load testing a bridge. In fact, the system can allow bridges to be load tested that would be difficult or impossible under other circumstances. To help understand the way the instrument is used, a description of the basic system operation is given followed by a detailed explanation of the main instrument features. Details of the procedure used to measure vertical deflection of bridge girders are discussed. Finally, an overview of the experimental local tests performed with the NDEVC laser system is presented.

The sensor is able to detect vapors from the plastic explosives pentaerythritol tetranitrate and hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine at levels below 10 parts per trillion within few seconds of exposure under ambient conditions. A differential measurement technique has yielded a rugged sensor that is unaffected by vibration and is able to function as a “sniffer.” The microelectromechanical system sensor design allows for the incorporation of hundreds of microcantilevers with suitable coatings in order to achieve sufficient selectivity in the future, and thus could provide an inexpensive, unique platform for the detection of chemical, biological, and explosive materials.

AB - We seek to clarify the relationship between Internet use and political participation. Although early theorists touted the potential mobilizing effects of the Internet, existing empirical studies have failed to find support for such a relationship. We challenge these findings through the analysis of an experimental use of an online discussion forum in an agency strategic planning exercise. The Web-based discussion run in parallel to the traditional docket attracted new individuals to participate in the decision-making process and influenced the range of topics discussed. These results suggest that extending opportunities for participation can attract new voices, thereby changing decision makers' information environment.

A metric known as the International Roughness Index (IRI), computed from the inertial road profile, quantifies the ride quality of the pavement. Within the inertial road profile, the variation of frequency-amplitude content versus distance is nonlinear and nonstationary. The HilbertHuang transform (HHT) and its Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is well suited for nonlinear and nonstationary data. In the application of the HHT to inertial profile analysis, the intrinsic mode functions and their Hilbert transform can be used to: 1) represent the frequency/wavelength content of a profile; 2) filter the data in the distance domain in preparation for secondary analyses, and 3) compare two profiles and assess their similarities by performing simultaneous distance frequency synchronisation.

AB - Introduction: Most researchers suggest that shift rotation in a clockwise (CW) direction produces less disruption of circadian rhythms than rotations in a counterclockwise (CCW) direction. This is based on extrapolation from quasi-experimental studies of shift workers and research on the effects of jet lag that indicate that westward travel results in less disruption of circadian rhythms. Methods: The effect of direction of rotation on cortisol, melatonin, and rectal temperature was examined in participants randomly assigned to either a CW (n = 14) or CCW (n = 14) shift rotation. Results: Results revealed lower amplitude [F(1,21) = 14.6, p < 0.05] and a delay of the acrophase [F(1,21) = 4.4, p < 0.05] in temperature for the CCW group. Sample time effects for cortisol and melatonin revealed normal circadian variation for both rotations, although melatonin levels on the midnight shift were clearly suppressed relative to baseline melatonin levels. Discussion: The changes observed in the temperature rhythm for the CCW rotation may be related to adaptation or shift-work hardiness; however, it is unclear if these differences indicate beneficial or detrimental changes for the individual. The fact that there were no significant effects of rotation condition for cortisol or melatonin argues against a detrimental effect. These findings are bolstered by performance and sleep data, reported elsewhere from this study, indicating a lack of significant differences as a function of rotation condition.

Efforts to improve safety belt usage can be enhanced by identifying specific factors that motivate belt use. Method: Motorist survey data were used to examine the effect of Perceived Risk of being Ticketed (PRT) for a seat belt infraction on self-reported seat belt use. Results: Analyses indicated that individuals and groups of individuals who have higher PRT typically report higher belt usage. Factorial analyses indicated that this perceived risk to belt use relationship holds both within groups with generally high (e.g., upper income) and generally low (e.g. young men) overall self-reported belt use. Discussion: Applications of PRT to improve seat belt use are discussed. Impact on Industry: Enforcement of existing laws, perhaps through selective traffic enforcement programs, and strengthening laws to create a higher perception of being ticketed by motorists should increase safety belt use thereby saving lives and reducing cost for individuals, government, and industry.

Also, different crack growth rate models are assumed for each criterion. The maximum principal stress criterion is used with a crack growth-rate equation based on an effective stress intensity factor. The strain energy density criterion is used with a crack growth-rate equation corresponding to an effective strain energy density factor. The crack growth-rate models for each criterion were constructed using unpublished fatigue crack growth data for 2024-T3 aluminum.

AB - Background: The Federal Aviation Administration guides policy decisions through the study of medical pathologies and visual disorders common to aviators. The purpose of this study is to examine demographic statistics present in the civil airman population, including vision restrictions, and their relevance to the clinical care of aviators. Methods: Medical certification data were extracted from FAA publications and databases for all civil airmen who were active on December 31st of each year from 1976 to 2001. Frequency and medical restriction data were delineated into 5-yr increments and analyzed to identify population trends for the 25-yr study period. Results: Although the total number of pilots has decreased over the study period (-17%), the population of male and female airmen holding first-class medical certificates has grown by 119% and 1,241%, respectively. The percentage of pilots a 40 yr of age has increased by 17%, and the average age rose from 36.8 to 42.3 yr. Additionally, the increase in near vision restrictions (13%) was more than double that of distant vision restrictions (6%) during the study period. As of 2001, 92% of all medical restrictions were vision related. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the increasing number of first-class certificate holders, gender-specific vision problems for female pilots, and the age-related changes in refractive error may present new challenges for eye-care practitioners tasked with advising aviators concerning the proper choice of refractive correction.

AB - Background: Glare is a temporary visual sensation produced by luminance within the visual field that is significantly greater than that to which the eyes are adapted. Glare from natural and artificial light sources can result in temporary visual impairment, increasing the risk of an accident. This study investigates the relationship between visual impairment from natural sunlight and aviation accidents. Methods: The National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident/Incident Database was queried for the period January 1,1988 to December 31,1998 for terms, which included 'sun,' 'glare,' 'vision,' 'blinded,' and 'reflections.' Reports annotated with one or more of these terms were reviewed to determine whether glare was considered a direct or contributing factor in the event. Results: There were 130 accidents in which glare was found to be a contributing factor. The majority of these events occurred during clear weather and atmospheric conditions (85%), and were associated with approach/landing and takeoff/ departure phases of flight (55%). Conclusions: Exposure to glare from natural sunlight has contributed to aviation accidents, primarily under otherwise optimal visual conditions at low altitude in congested airspace. Preventative techniques are presented that may protect a pilot's visual performance against the debilitating effects of glare from the sun.

We have developed a simple method for the simultaneous determination of COC and the COC metabolites benzoylecgonine (BE), norbenzoylecgonine (NBE), ecgonine methyl ester (EME), ecgonine (E), and norcocaine (NCOC), as well as anhydroecgonine methyl ester (AEME) (a unique byproduct of COC smoking), cocaethylene (a molecule formed by the concurrent use of COC and ethanol) and their related metabolites, anhydroecgonine (AE), norcocaethylene (NCE), and ecgonine ethyl ester (EEE). This method incorporates a Zymark® RapidTrace™ automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) system, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and 2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoro-1-propanol (PFP)/pentafluoropropionic anhydride (PFPA) derivatives. The lower limits of detection ranged from 0.78 to 12.5 ng/mL and the linear dynamic range for most analytes was 0.78–3200 ng/mL. The extraction efficiencies were from 26 to 84% with the exception of anhydroecgonine and ecgonine, which were from 1 to 4%. We applied this method to five aviation fatalities. This method has proven to be simple, robust and accurate for the simultaneous determination of COC and 11 COC metabolites in postmortem fluids and tissues.

The objectives of the experiment are: (1) to perform a pilot study on the design, construction, instrumentation, testing and data processing of a skew bridge model, (2) to provide experimental data to validate a 3D finite element model developed for the skew bridge, and (3) to confirm the applicability of a simplified bridge model (the dual-beam stick model) developed for the dynamic analysis of skew bridges. Details of the design, construction, instrumentation, testing and data processing of the model bridge are described. Results for static displacements, natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping of the model bridge will be presented. A comparison of the results obtained from these tests with those obtained numerically from a finite element analysis and analytically from the dual stick bridge model shows that good correlation is obtained.

JO - Journal of Bridge Engineering JF - Journal of Bridge Engineering Y1 - 2004/07//Jul/Aug2004 VL - 9 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 403 EP - 413 SN - 10840702 AB - Routine inspection is the most common form of highway bridge inspection to satisfy the requirements of the National Bridge Inspection Standards. The accuracy and reliability of documentation generated during these inspections are critical to the allocation of Department of Transportation construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation resources. Routine inspections are typically completed using only the visual inspection technique and rely heavily on subjective assessments made by bridge inspectors. In light of this, and given the fact that visual inspection may have other limitations that influence its reliability, the Federal Highway Administration initiated an investigation to examine the reliability of visual inspection as it is currently applied to bridges in the United States. This paper will summarize results from this study related to the accuracy and reliability of routine inspection documentation. A number of important conclusions were developed from the experimental study. Generally, it was found that all structural condition documentation is collected with significant variability. Specifically, 95% of primary element condition ratings for individual bridge components will vary within two rating points of the average and only 68% will vary within one point. Documentation generally collected to support condition ratings also has significant variability as exemplified by the number and types of field notes and photographs taken by inspectors. With respect to the use of element-level inspections, it was found that element usage was generally consistent with the Commonly Recognized Element Guide. However, there is significant variability in the condition state assignments of those elements and in some cases the condition states are not applied correctly to particular elements.

Antemortem ethanol leads to an elevation in the 5-HTOL/5-HIAA ratio for 11–19 h after acute ingestion. The liquid–liquid extracts of postmortem urine samples were subjected to liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) for the simultaneous quantitation of these two analytes, yielding detection limits of 0.1 ng/ml for each. Examination of the 5-HTOL/5-HIAA ratio was undertaken for 44 urine samples known to be antemortem ethanol-positive or antemortem ethanol-negative. Recent ethanol ingestion was conveniently and accurately separated using a 5-HTOL/5-HIAA ratio of 15 pmol/nmol, a value previously suggested using human volunteers. All 21 ethanol-negative postmortem samples were below this cutoff, while all 23 ethanol-positive postmortem samples were above this cutoff. Thus, we recommend the employment of this cutoff value, established using this straightforward LC–MS procedure, to confirm or deny recent antemortem ethanol ingestion in postmortem urine samples.

AB - Strangers made reliable judgments about personality traits after viewing one 30-s excerpt from interviews with anonymous target persons. Ratings were generated for 229 military recruits participating in a study of personality disorders. Approximately 28% of the recruits met DSM-IV criteria for a definite or probable personality disorder (PD). Several untrained undergraduate students rated each video clip with regard to the Big Five personality traits, physical attractiveness, and likeability. The students accurately rated people who exhibited features of paranoid, schizotypal, dependent, and avoidant PDs as being lower in extraversion. The raters also considered these people less likeable. Students accurately rated people who exhibited features of histrionic PD as being higher in extraversion and found them to be more likeable. Laypersons can make accurate judgments regarding some personality characteristics associated with personality disorders, even on the basis of minimal information. These perceptions may influence ways in which people respond to others with PDs.

References Available: Y. Page Count: 9. Issue Publication Date: May, 2004. AB - Over 2000 aggressive driving behaviors were observed over a total of 72 h at six different sites. The behaviors selected for observation were those that are commonly included in 'aggressive driving' lists, and they consisted of honking, cutting across one or more lanes in front of other vehicles, and passing on the shoulders. In addition, an exposure sample of 7200 drivers were also observed at the same times and places. Relative risks (RRs) and odds ratios (ODs) were calculated to show the relative likelihood that different drivers under different conditions will commit aggressive behaviors. The rate of aggressive actions observed in this study decreased from the most frequent behavior of cutting across a single lane, through honking, and to the least frequent behaviors of cutting across multiple lanes and passing on the shoulders. Relative to their proportion in the driving population, men were more likely than women to commit aggressive actions, and the differences increased as the severity of the action increased. Drivers who were 45 years old or older were less likely to drive aggressively than younger ones. The presence of passengers was associated with a slight but consistent reduction in aggressive driving of all types; especially honking at other drivers. There was a strong linear association between congestion and the frequency of aggressive behaviors, but it was due to the number of drivers on the road. However, when the value of time was high (as in rush hours), tie likelihood of aggressive driving--after adjusting for the number of drivers on the road--was higher than when the value of time was low (during the non-rush weekday or weekend hours). The results have implications for driver behavior modifications and for environmental design.

AB - A recent systematic literature review found that primary enforcement laws are more effective at increasing seat belt use than secondary laws in the United States. This report reexamines the studies included in the systematic review to explore whether the benefits of a primary law differ based on: (1) the baseline seat belt use rate; or (2) whether or not the primary law replaces a secondary law. States that directly enacted primary laws showed larger increases in observed seat belt use (median increase of 33 percentage points). These laws were enacted in the mid-1980s, when baseline belt use rates were below 35%. Smaller, but substantial increases in belt use were observed in states that replaced secondary with primary laws (median increase of 14 percentage points). Baseline belt use rates in these states ranged from 47 to 73%. Primary safety belt laws can further increase seat belt use even in states with relatively high baseline levels of belt use.

The change from traditional cut-and-cover construction to tunnel jacking in frozen ground enabled three full-size interstate highway tunnels— totalling over 240 m in length — to be built in heavily obstructed ground under the approaches to a busy railway station with no disruption to service. The scale of the work was unprecedented, being several times larger than any tunnel- jacking project previously undertaken. It has set a new benchmark for the technique and further raised its profile as an effective and sustainable solution for creating new urban infrastructure.

Nucleation of microcracks can eventually lead to the propagation of a macrocrack.The process of damage accumulation in fatigue is defined to be sufficiently slow such that inhomogeneity of material behavior created by loading is a significant factor that can not be arbitrarily dismissed without a good reason. What this means specifically is that the difference of the stress and strain behavior at each point in a fatigue specimen must be accounted for in the analytical model in order to predict the correct cumulative effect. Such a requirement translates into a non-equilibrium formulation where the constitutive relations for each point and loading cycle must be determined separately. In this sense, the true problem of fatigue cannot be completely treated by the classical continuum mechanics approach that is limited to equilibrium mechanics for a closed system. Having said this, the isoenergy density theory will be applied to estimate the hysteresis loops of a hour-glass profile cylindrical bar specimen as recommended by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) for low-cycle fatigue.The work will be divided into two parts. Part I will cover the fundamentals of a non-equilibrium theory where the continuum elements are finite in size; they do not vanish in the limit. Therefore, size effects are immediately encountered as a function of time. General expressions for the rate change of volume of these elements with surface area are derived such that they can be computed from the nine displacement gradients. These elements can differ in size and must fit together without discontinuities or gaps to form the continuum. The condition of isoenergy energy density is invoked such that the size of these individual elements under large and finite deformation and rotation can be determined without loss in generality. The existence of such a space having the property of the same isoenergy density in all directions is thus proved. This enables the establishment of the one dimensional energy state with that in three dimensions without restriction, the absence of which has prevented the development of a complete non-linear theory of mechanics that can be solved in a direct fashion in contrast to the inverse method of assuming the displacement field. Illustration is provided for deriving the constitutive relation incrementally for a given location for the hour-glass specimen made of 6061-T6 aluminum. Once the specimen is loaded, each material point will follow a different stress and strain curve according to the local displacement rate. Hence, the method applies to material with non-homogeneous microstructure if their individual expressions can be assessed and fed into the computer.Part II computes for the non-equilibrium temperature and an entropy-like quantity that can be positive and negative. This implies that the system can absorb or dissipate energy with reference to the surrounding. Additional data for hysteresis loops are given for 6061-T6 aluminum, SAE 4340 steel and Ti–8Al–1Mo–1V titanium. Accumulation of the local hysteresis energy per cycle is found to be the highest near the surface of the uniaxial specimen where load symmetry prevails. This is a consequence of the difference in accumulation of the energy density due to distortion in contrast to dilatation at the specimen center. This is why fatigue cracks tend to nucleate near the specimen surface, at a small distance towards the interior. Another distinct feature of fatigue is that the non-equilibrium temperature is found to oscillate about the ambient temperature while the local stress states fluctuate between tension and compression. This temperature reversal behavior is typical of non-equilibrium behavior and also occurs under monotonic loading. The space and time variations of the dissipated energy density for different materials are found to be related to the initial monotonic energy density or area under the true stress and true strain curve.What will be demonstrated is that no special consideration need to be made when applying the isoenergy density theory for analyzing the nucleation of micro and macrocracks in addition to failure of the specimen. Crack nucleation under fatigue is assumed to occur when the total hysteresis energy reaches a critical value. It is possible to establish a relation between the average hysteresis energy per cycle and the number of cycles to failure. The proposed method requires only a knowledge of the initial monotonic energy density curve for a given material. Predicted results for the fatigue of cylindrical bar specimens with hour-glass profile are given and they can be found in Part II of this work.

Traditionally, such an understanding has worked surprisingly well in mechanics and physics. Differential calculus enabled the determination of motion of celestial bodies. Heisenberg''s use of Hilbert space applied to calculations in quantum mechanics. These foot steps, however, failed to continue in the field of material science when attempting to address the evolution of material damage. On one hand, the mathematical formulation of the Riemann–Hilbert problem achieved great success for solving macrocrack problems but whether the same tool could be used for lower scale defects seems to be of less concern. This is a surprise because it is not obvious by any means whether microcracks can be distinguished from macrocrack by size difference alone, particularly when they are both treated in a single formulation.There are several issues of the fatigue problem that must be addressed. To begin with, local failure initiating near a surface should be distinguished from global failure that correspond to separation of a specimen into two or more pieces. The interim stages of initiation and termination would depend on the ductility and brittleness of the material in addition to the history of cyclic loading. Three different materials 6061-T6 aluminum, SAE 4340 steel and Ti–8Al–1Mo–1V titanium will therefore be analyzed to show how their uniaxial properties would compare with the dissipation energy density functions and oscillation in temperature. Hysteresis loops for the local material points are determined. Their averages for the ASTM standard hour-glass specimen are then found. They give the global hysteresis loops corresponding to measurements from the uniaxial tests. The local dissipative energy density loops represent the irreversible nature of the materials are also taken into consideration. They are calculated for the soft aluminum and the hard titanium with steel being in between.Obtained also are the cyclic cooling and heating characteristics of the material under fatigue; they fluctuate about the ambient temperature. The H-function designating the order and disorder of the fatigue process is also found to be oscillatory in character. Unlike entropy, it is not non-increasing or non-decreasing. It can change sign in a given process. This implies that the order of a system can be enhanced and then impeded or vice versa. Such a behavior is shown to prevail during the initial stage of the fatigue.

AB - An operational evaluation of the automatic dependent surveillance system and cockpit display of traffic information (CDTI) was performed in October 2000. It provided an opportunity to examine how the use of a CDTI influences pilot/controller operational communications. Departure profiles were established to evaluate the ability of flight crews and air traffic controllers to manage long (6 nautical miles [nm]) and short (4.5 nm) spacing intervals between departing aircraft. Approximately 4% of the departures conducted when CDTI was not used and 9% when it was involved communication problems. Fortunately, controllers and pilots detected and corrected these problems in midstream. When pilots executed CDTI departures, there was an overall increase in time on frequency, more time spent under local control during the day, and departures were completed in less time when assigned the short spacing interval.

Pyrolysis-combustion flow calorimetry (PCFC) separately reproduces the solid state and gas phase processes of flaming combustion in a nonflaming test by controlled pyrolysis of the sample in an inert gas stream followed by high temperature oxidation of the volatile pyrolysis products. Oxygen consumption calorimetry is used to measure the heat of combustion of the pyrolysis products. The maximum amount of heat released per unit mass per degree of temperature (J g−1 K−1) is a material property that appears to be a good predictor of flammability.

Rokeach told us that "a person's total value system may undergo change as a result of socialization, therapy, or cultural upheaval . . ." (Rokeach, The Nature of Human Values, 1973, p. 37). The researchers explored the value changes of 500 aviation industry employees before the attack and 500 after the attack. The statistically significant research results showed a total of twenty-seven of thirty-six values changed. Before the attack respondents valued much higher self-esteem and self-actualization values like A Sense of Accomplishment and Self-Respect. After the attack respondents placed a much higher value importance on survival, safety and security values like A World at Peace, Freedom, Family Security, National Security, Mature Love, Salvation, and True Friendship.

This paper summarizes the systematic reviews of two interventions to increase safety belt use: primary enforcement safety belt laws and enhanced enforcement of safety belt laws. The reviews were previously published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. Methods: We conducted the systematic reviews using the methodology developed for the Guide to Community Preventive Services. Results: These reviews provide strong evidence that primary laws are more effective than secondary laws in increasing safety belt use and decreasing fatalities and that enhanced enforcement is effective in increasing safety belt use. Increases in belt use are generally highest in states with low baseline rates of belt use. Discussion: Primary safety belt laws and enhanced enforcement programs tend to result in greater increases in usage rates for target groups with lower baseline rates. Concerns regarding public opposition to these interventions may impede their implementation in some jurisdictions. However, surveys indicate that a substantial majority of the public supports implementation of both primary laws and enhanced enforcement programs. Conclusion: Based on the strong evidence for effectiveness of primary safety belt laws and enhanced enforcement programs, the Task Force on Community Preventive Services recommended that all states enact primary safety belt laws and that communities implement enhanced enforcement programs.

North Carolina demonstrated substantial increases in safety belt use associated with their implementation of the first statewide Click It or Ticket program in 1993. In 2000, Click It or Ticket was implemented in South Carolina. In 2001, Click It or Ticket was implemented across all eight states of the southeast. In 2002, ten states in various parts of the country implemented Click It or Ticket; four states implemented parts of the full Click It or Ticket program; and four states were used as comparisons. Belt use increases were greatest in the full implementation states. Click It or Ticket was implemented nationally in 2003. This paper presents a historical perspective on the implementation and evaluation of Click It or Ticket programs.

For example, 95% of all interstate produce shipments are by truck. To understand better this segment of the motor carrier industry, during the 1980s surveys were conducted of long-distance truckers exiting the Florida Peninsula. That work helped establish baseline data about the industry, including its structure, pricing, impacts of regulations, etc. After nearly 15 years, a similar survey was conducted in 2001-2002 of more than 1,600 drivers of long-distance refrigerated trucks. Issues addressed included: use of brokers and the Internet to arrange loads, importance of owner-operators and their ability to operate independently versus under lease to larger carriers, equipment replacement and utilization, and lumping.

AB - The Federal Aviation Administration's effort to automate air traffic control (ATC) requires that the functionality provided today be captured in future systems. We report the first quantitative naturalistic observation of paper flight progress strip interactions during operational use. Strip use was similar in a variety of situations, but some uses varied as a function of altitude, staffing, or the cooperative style used by controller teams. Design of automation should proceed by prioritizing changes based on frequency of use and importance and should ensure that an effective method of interacting with flight information is incorporated. In addition to applied relevance to the ATC domain, the results touch on several theoretical concerns relevant to dynamic environments. Actual and potential applications of this research include the establishment of a database of strip activity and an arsenal of information valuable to system designers.

The material consists of a finely graded combination of cement, sand, ground quartz and silica fume which combined with water form a cement paste. Small steel fibers measuring approximately 0.2 mm in diameter and 12 mm in length are distributed throughout the cement matrix and the combined material has very high compressive strength and toughness. The material is proposed for use in the primary load bearing members in bridges, and as such nondestructive evaluation technologies are needed to evaluate material quality and monitor in-service condition. This paper reports on research to determine the effectiveness of ultrasonic testing for determining the elastic properties of RPC. Comparison between static modulus of elasticity and ultrasonic modulus measurements is presented. A system for determining elastic moduli as a quality control tool is discussed. The effect of curing conditions on ultrasonic velocities and resulting calculated moduli values is presented and compared with traditional measurement methods. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of AIP Conference Proceedings is the property of American Institute of Physics and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Traditional concretes consist of cement paste and aggregates ranging in size from 6 to 25 mm that form a heterogeneous material with substantial compressive strength and a very low tensile strength. Steel reinforcement is used to provide tensile strength for reinforced concrete structures and as a composite the material is useful for structural applications. A new material known as reactive powder concrete (RPC) is becoming available. It differs significantly from traditional concrete; RPC has no large aggregates, and contains small steel fibers that provide additional strength and, in some cases, can replace traditional steel reinforcement. Due to its high density and lack of aggregates, ultrasonic inspections at frequencies 10 to 20 times that of traditional concrete inspections are possible. This paper reports on the initial findings of research conducted to determine the applicability of ultrasonic testing techniques for the condition assessment of RPC. Pulse velocities for shear and longitudinal waves and ultrasonic measurement of the modulus of elasticity for RPC are reported. Ultrasonic crack detection for RPC also is investigated.

These probabilities were estimated using an expert elicitation process that used partially relevant data available from a variety of databases and that were filtered and scaled to make them more directly relevant to the analyses being performed. Extensive qualitative studies were performed prior to the elicitation process to identify relevant contexts under which the tasks can be performed.

Advantages of SCL are its high strength, flexibility, stiffness, and excellent preservative treatability. A main concern in SCL bridge applications is serviceability performance. The long-term creep behavior of SCL flexural members is not presently determinable. In order to investigate creep effects, deflection monitoring of full-scale SCL T-beam bridge members was performed under ambient conditions and an accelerated aging process. Sixteen beams were monitored under exposed weather conditions with frequent wetting and drying. Variables in the experiment were: lumber type (Douglas fir and southern yellow pine), SCL type (LVL and PSL), preservative type (CCA and penta), and dead load intensity. It was found that creep behavior in SCL bridge members closely follows the Burger theoretical model. LVL, Douglas fir, and CCA treatment causes smaller creep deflections as compared to PSL, Southern Pine, and Penta treatment. NDS type creep multipliers for SCL vary between 2.2 and 2.67 for various subcategories. A single average creep multiplier of 2.3 may be used for treated SCL bridge beams.

Using a simple model, we first consider the impact of outliers on the unweighted arithmetic, harmonic, and geometric means of a collection of values. Then, under the same model, we investigate the effect of a single extremely high or low price on the price index formulas (weighted means). Further investigation using Taylor series approximations leads to some general conclusions regarding the relative robustness of the Fisher and Tornqvist indexes. These are illustrated with empirical results based on airfare data from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Origin and Destination Survey.

Intervention analysis has long been the method of choice for such adjustments, but it is often represented as a procedure for dealing with events in the middle of the time series rather than for the most recent observations. In this paper, we develop a method, termed the three-intervention approach, to provide a flexible solution to this problem. We examine its application for a number of transportation series that were disrupted by the tragic events of September 2001. Analyses of the series using up to six months of post-event data show good agreement with results based on longer post-event series, and suggest that the proposed method will often provide adequate modifications to a series in a timely manner. The method is applicable to most economic time series, but has been tested only for transportation series.

AB - There is relatively little research to explain why diverse groups of employees often experience negative workplace events (Cox & Nkomo, 1990). In addition, most studies of discrimination and harassment tend to limit their focus to one minority group at a time and do not consider multiple forms of diversity--reflecting, for example, racioethnicity, gender, disability, age, and sexual orientation. To rectify this oversight, we introduce in this chapter the concept of 'multiple minority status' and propose that belonging to more than one minority group simultaneously--in other words, having multiple minority identities--will have a significant impact on the work experiences of minorities. As of yet, there has been little research done in this area. However, based on research suggesting that minority group members experience a host of negative physical, psychological, and job-related outcomes, we expect that being a multiple minority will further increase the likelihood of experiencing these negative outcomes. In this chapter, we also consider the critical role that the organizational diversity climate can play in the workplace experiences of employees. Because of the challenges brought about by today's rapidly changing workforce, organizations need to focus on monitoring their climates for diversity, in addition to the typical focus on modifying individual employee behavior via diversity-training initiatives. A second goal of this chapter is to present a tool, which can provide a comprehensive assessment of organizational diversity climate that takes into account gender, age, race/ethnicity, disability, and sexual orientation.

AB - To evaluate the efficiency of a disorientation-recovery program using the Airfox DISO flight simulator (Disorientation Trainer, AMST Systemtechnik GmbH, Austria), 26 jet pilots were tested. The pilots were randomly allocated to 1 of 3 groups: Training, Awareness, or Control group. The training for the Training group included demonstration trials of the disorientation phenomena Gyro Spin, Leans, Dark Take-off, Expectation Error, Black Hole Approach, and False Horizon (awareness phase) and additional reorientation exercises (training phase). Pilots of the Awareness group also received the awareness phase, but instead of the training phase, they had the control condition free flight. All 26 pilots attended a test, which included profiles of disorientation elements. The whole procedure took about 7 hours per pilot. Aviation performance, psychological, and physiological data were measured. Results contribute to answer the more theoretical question how physiologically determined perceptual illusions and contradicting perceptual inputs to the mental picture of the situation interact to change or destroy situation awareness. Physiological stress occurred during the simulator exercises (e.g. Black Hole Approach) as indicated by significant changes in heart rate. Performance ratings show positive effects for the Training group. The Training group recovered more quickly, confirming these ratings.

AB - Personal electronic devices (PEDs) are becoming increasingly common on board aircraft, as they are in all aspects of life. There are concerns that the electronic noise emitted by such devices may interfere with sensitive aircraft equipment, particularly navigation equipment. Although it has not been possible to prove conclusively that PEDs interfere with avionics, there is strong anecdotal evidence that they have already done so, and experts agree that such interference is theoretically possible. Thus, the safest course of action is to restrict the use of PEDs during aircraft operation. Generally, airlines ban the use of PEDs that transmit a signal, and only allow operation of other devices when the aircraft altitude is greater than 10,000ft. A survey was conducted at three airports that assessed the PED usage level, knowledge of regulations regarding PED, and participants' perception of the dangers involved in PED usage. The survey revealed that 90% of passengers carry PEDs on board aircraft, with mobile phones being the most common device carried. Participants did not follow the regulations 100% of the time, particularly with regard to mobile phones. Participants were more confused about the regulations and dangers surrounding unintentional transmitters as compared to intentional transmitters. Interestingly, inconsistent airline policies and lack of education regarding PEDs were considered the most likely reasons for this confusion.

AB - Aviation maintenance has been identified by the FAA as an area where better efficiency is needed to cope with ever increasing workloads. However, aviation maintenance also has been identified as one of the major causes of accidents. Consequently, if further efficiencies are to be achieved, they cannot come at the cost of reduced safety margins. The present study employed a safety climate approach to assist in the development of a model that can help to explain morale, psychological health, turnover intentions, and error in the aviation maintenance environment. An instrument called the Maintenance Environment Survey was developed and administered to 240 personnel responsible for maintenance of a large military helicopter fleet. Data collected through the survey were used to develop a structural model that predicted 45% of the variance in psychological health, 67% of the variance in morale, 27% of the variance in turnover intentions, and 44% of the variance in self-reported maintenance errors. The model shows the pathways through which organizational level and individual level variables can influence work outcomes and leads to suggestions for interventions that can help to improve maintenance efficiency.

AB - Technological advances in aircraft automation have revolutionized the operating environment of pilots (Billings, 1996). As more tasks originally delegated to the pilot are governed by automated systems, cognitive activity changes considerably, such that it moves away from 'perception and response' toward 'thinking and deciding' (Mosier, 2002). In light of this change in cognitive activity, research on judgment and decision-making has become increasingly relevant in its application to aviation. Research in the field of judgment and decision-making, however, has long been divided into two ostensibly opposing theoretical perspectives. On one side, the work of researchers is guided by coherence theories, which focus on the rationality of human judgment. On the other side, research is guided by correspondence theories, in which the value of judgments is based on the degree to which they reflect empirical accuracy. In this study, we examined pilot decision making in light of work by Hammond (1996a, 1996b, 2000), who proposed that judgment and decision-making research can, and should, incorporate both of these contrasting theories. Using data from voluntary incident reports, we examined pilots' use of coherence- and correspondence-based decision-making processes as a function of variables such as phase of flight, weather conditions, type of event, and level of aircraft automation. We hypothesized that, in accordance with the tenets of each theory, characteristics of the various conditions would systematically elicit either coherence- or correspondence-based decision. The findings suggested that pilots' use of decision strategy is dependent on the situational conditions and constraints present. Data suggested that weather conditions and the type of event, but not level of automation, affected the frequency of pilots employing either coherence- or correspondence-based decision strategy. Phase of flight in combination with weather conditions impacted the use of a particular decision strategy; in particular, during cruise and approach, pilot decision strategies varied as a function of weather conditions.

AB - Twenty ab-initio pilots received either a traditional (explicit) training program or one that emphasized learning by experience (implicit). Trainees then completed six simulated approaches and landings (three of which involved a secondary task) in a flight simulator. The results showed that the participants in the implicit learning group performed as well or better than the explicitly trained participants did on seven of the eight performance variables. The implicit learners perceived the performance of the task as being associated with significantly lower level of cognitive load. They also performed significantly better on the secondary, performance duration estimate task. Recommendations are made regarding the potential benefits of implicit training programs, particularly those within safety critical environments.

In few other settings is the development of higher-order thinking skills more critical than in aviation, where approximately 75% of all aviation accidents are caused by pilot errors. This paper discusses the methods and strategies for teaching higher-order thinking skills and the learning theory supporting these methods. Teaching higher-order thinking skills involves emphasizing methods and strategies for developing cognitive skills using problem-based learning. The instruction must be student-centered, utilize authentic, real world situations, active learning, cooperative learning, and be customized to meet the individual learner's needs. Cognitive skills are learned like other cognitive knowledge and should be based on cognitive and constructivist learning principles. Specifically, information processing, knowledge structure, and situated learning theories underpin the development and transfer of these skills. Improving higher-order thinking skills will lead to better judgment, decision-making, and critical thinking; hence, fewer aviation accidents.

Another aspect of the research compared the preferences of aviation Professional Pilot undergraduate majors with the preferences of Aviation Management undergraduate majors. The findings of the study revealed that the ESTJ aviation management students and the ESTP professional pilot students share three of the four preferences. Although the two groups of students have much in common, the single letter of difference could have meaningful implications for aviation instructors in developing effective teaching and learning strategies in the classroom.

SN - 00222461 AB - A large number of parameters influence polymer-nanocomposite performance and developing a detailed understanding of these materials involves investigation of a large volume of the associated multi-dimensional property space. This multi-dimensional parameter space for polymer-nanocomposites consists of the obvious list of different material types under consideration, such as “polymer” and “nano-additive,” but also includes interphase surface chemistry, and processing conditions. This article presents combinatorial library design and high-throughput screening methods for polymer nanocomposites intended as flame-resistant materials. Here, we present the results of using a twin-screwn extruder to create composition-gradient library strips of polymer nanocomposites that are screened with a solid-state NMR method to rapidly evaluate the optimal processing conditions for achieving nanocomposite dispersion. In addition, we present a comparison of a new rapid Cone calorimetry method to conventional Cone calorimetry and to the gradient heat-flux flame spread method.

We acquired these data to determine whether subsurface subsidence processes had continued at the collapse location after remediation, and to identify additional areas of potential collapse along this section of the roadway. A reflection correlating to the overburden and bedrock interface (above the mine workings) was consistently identified in raw field records, and our data processing and imaging targeted this high impedance contrast. Data quality was high enough to permit resolution of vertical offsets of 3–4 ft (0.91–1.2 m) and horizontal disruptions of about 20 ft (6.1 m) in the otherwise continuous bedrock horizon at two locations close to the previous collapse, suggesting a relatively high risk for future roadway failure in these areas. SH-wave data interpretations were supported by exploratory drilling results which confirmed that bedrock had subsided into underlying coal-mine workings at these two locations. Our results show that high-resolution SH-wave seismic reflection surveys can be effective for diagnosing mine-induced subsidence potential beneath heavily traveled roadways.

In these vehicles, steel is replaced with aluminum, titanium, magnesium, plastics, and glass and carbon fibers. In addition to total volumes, we pay particular attention to a subset of highly toxic chemical constituents in hazardous waste. The article also examines capacity in the United States to manage the solid and hazardous waste generation changes. Finally, we review the distribution of environmental impacts that changes in material composition would cause. The estimated generation of solid and hazardous wastes for each of the three new vehicles is greater than wastes for a base vehicle, although the United States has sufficient waste management capacity to handle these increases. Production of a subset of chemical constituents of hazardous waste, specifically those that are highly toxic, will decrease in most cases for the three new vehicles. Moving to these new materials could reduce mining for iron ore in the United States but increase the mining of bauxite for aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and other materials in such major countries as Canada, China, and Russia and in many small, developing countries, such as Guinea, Jamaica, and Sierra Leone.

AB - Postmortem samples from pilots involved in fatal civil aircraft accidents are submitted to the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) for toxicological evaluation. Findings from such evaluations are maintained in the CAMI Toxicology Database. This database was examined for the presence of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in pilot fatalities of the accidents that occurred during 1990-2001. Out of 4,184 fatal civil aviation accidents from which CAMI received samples, there were 61 accidents in which pilot fatalities had SSRIs. Of these accidents, 56 were of the general aviation category, 2 were of the air taxi and commuter category, 2 were of the agricultural category, and 1 was of the ultralight category. Blood concentrations of SSRIs in the fatalities were 11-1121 ng • ml-1 for fluoxetine; 47-13102 ng • ml-1 for sertraline; 68-1441 ng • ml-1 for paroxetine; and 314-462 ng • ml-1 for citalopram. In 39 of the 61 pilots, other drugs and/or ethanol were also present. The use of an SSRI has been a contributory factor in at least 9 of the 61 accidents. It is concluded that numbers of SSRI-involved accidents were low, and blood SSRI concentrations in the associated pilot fatalities ranged from subtherapeutic to toxic levels.

Wrestling is described as a sport where you are on your own, one on one, with your opponent being of the same size and weight. The only weapons you posses are your limbs, minds, skills, and preparation. It is the hard physical reality that the only way you can beat your opponent is if you work harder and smarter than he as both are possessing the exact same weapons with which to wrestle.

We report for the first time, the adsorption–desorption characteristics of TNT from a Si-microcantilever exposed to vapors of TNT. It was observed that TNT readily sticks to the exposed Si surface with the adsorption kinetics showing an initial exponential behavior followed by roughly linear kinetics. It was also observed that for cantilever temperatures close to room temperature, TNT desorbs spontaneously from the surface with decaying exponential kinetics. Based on the known equilibrium partial vapor pressures of TNT, the “effective” sticking coefficient for the silicon oxide surface at room temperature under the experimental conditions was calculated to be about 0.02. This information can be very useful in the design of sensors and that of vapor-delivery systems.

AB - This paper reports on 2 studies that were conducted to develop and to evaluate a situational judgment test (SJT) for general aviation (GA) pilots. An initial 51-item test was constructed in which each item described an in-flight situation that required a decision on the part of the pilot and 4 alternative solutions to the situation. Subject matter experts were used to generate a scoring key from the alternatives that the experts recommended for a typical GA pilot. In Study 1, the test was administered in paper-and-pencil format to 246 participants. Results from that first study showed that the test had acceptable psychometric properties in terms of internal consistency and distribution. In Study 2, the test was administered to 467 participants over the Internet. Analyses resulted in the reduction of the test to 39 items, with an internal consistency reliability (coefficient alpha) of .747. Construct validation was accomplished through correlation with a measure of the number of times the participant had been involved in an accident or other hazardous aviation event.

However, much of the previous research concentrates on older drivers and overlooks the fact that vehicle and crash factors may provide significant explanations of older occupant injury rates. Method: Differences across age groups are explored using two nationwide travel surveys, crash involvement, fatalities, and injuries from crash databases and an ordered probit model of injury severity. Results and Discussion: Two noticeable differences that help explain injury risk are that older people are more likely to travel in passenger cars than younger people who frequently use light trucks, and that seriously injured older occupants are more likely to be involved in side-impact crashes than their younger counterparts. Impact: Increased attention to vehicle engagement in side-impact crashes and to vehicle technologies that can help drivers avoid side collisions would be particularly helpful for older occupants.

The NHTS is a national data collection program sponsored by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and the Federal Highway Administration. It is the first national comprehensive household survey of both daily and long-distance travel, allowing for analysis of the full continuum of personal travel by Americans. To better understand the transportation needs of older Americans, it is useful to examine how travel patterns differ across age groups. The intent is to present basic travel characteristics of older adults (age 65+) and allow for comparisons with younger adults (ages 19–64). Travel-related characteristics of older adults in the United States: Results of the 2001 survey showed that older Americans travel extensively and rely on personal vehicles as heavily as their younger counterparts. Older Americans conduct 89% of their travel in personal vehicles. Characteristics of daily trips taken by older adults: Older adults tend to be less mobile in that they take fewer trips, travel shorter distances, and have shorter travel times. This pattern is even more pronounced among older women. They are also more likely to suffer from self-reported medical conditions that further limit their travel. Characteristics of long-distance travel by older adults: Older men and women take long-distance trips at about the same rates and show a strong preference for using personal vehicles. And, while men and women take an equal percentage of their trips by air, older women show a strong preference for bus travel. Conclusions: Although older Americans travel extensively, they are less mobile than their younger counterparts. This pattern is more pronounced among older women and among those with self-reported medical conditions that affect their ability to travel outside their home. Older women consistently take the least number of trips per day, have the lowest driving rates, travel the shortest distances, and are more likely to report medical conditions that limit their travel. For men and women who have to give up driving, alternative means of transportation becomes a necessity. Yet, use of alternative transportation is relatively low; excluding personal vehicle and walking, all other means of transportation account for about 2% of daily travel. Further, of those with medical conditions that affect their travel, only about 12% use special transportation services such as dial-a-ride.

AB - Studied the relationship between commercial airline pilot schedules and aviation accidents. Data for human factors related accidents and pilot work patterns were identified for 1978-1999. The distribution of pilot work schedule parameters for 55 accidents was compared to that for all pilots using a chi-square test to determine if the proportions of accidents and length of duty exposure were the same. If the distributions are the same, then one could infer that pilot human factor accidents are not affected by work schedule parameters. Results show that the proportion of accidents associated with pilots having longer duty periods was higher than the proportion of longer duty periods for all pilots. It is concluded that there is a discernible pattern of increased probability of an accident as duty time increases for commercial aircraft pilots in the US. The authors suggest that establishing limits on duty time for commercial pilots would reduce risk due to pilot fatigue.

There are 15 scales divided into personality, psychopathology, and crew interaction categories. The Personality scales include Confidence, Socialness, Aggressiveness, Orderliness, and Negativity. The Psychopathology scales include Affective Lability, Anxiety, Depression, and Alcohol Abuse. Finally, the Crew Interaction scales include Dogmatism, Deference, Team Oriented, Organisation, Impulsivity, and Risk Taking. Recently, it has been possible to establish a very large normative sample for the test. The purpose of this work is to disseminate those norms. A total of 6047 (541 female) student pilots were tested during the US Air Force's Enhanced Flight Screening. Most means are relatively in the middle of the ranges. The notable exceptions are the clinical scales such as Anxiety and Depression. The standard deviations show reasonable distribution of scores and resolution of the sample. A series of t tests were conducted to determine gender differences. Males were found to have higher Confidence, Aggressiveness, Alcohol Abuse, Dogmatism, and Risk Taking scores. Females had higher Affective Lability, Anxiety, and Depression scores. Comprehensive tables of raw, scaled, and percentile scores will be made available.

This paper presents methods to quantify the specific damaged surface area, the specific damaged surface area tensor, the damage tensor, the mean solid path among the damaged surfaces and the mean solid path tensor. The methods are general and use the reconstructed three-dimensional structure from tomography images and a virtual sectioning technique to obtain cross-sectional images needed for the quantification. The paper also presents the relation between the quantified damage parameters and their applications in mechanical modeling. This work is applied in particular to quantify the damage parameters of asphalt concrete specimens of the WesTrack project.

In July 1999, as part of an operational evaluation, pilots flew 67 airport traffic patterns (20 CDTI not in use, 47 CDTI in use). Routine ATC procedures were retained. Pilots were trained to augment responses to ATC traffic calls with traffic call signs. An analysis of 1,127 pilot-controller messages revealed CDTI increased collaboration, reduced frequency congestion, resulted in more responsive pilot reports, and increased visual acquisitions. However, 4% of the traffic-related messages contained problems stemming from the call sign procedure. In light of the findings, the call sign procedure is undergoing modification and reevaluation before implementation.

JO - Value in Health JF - Value in Health Y1 - 2003/07// VL - 6 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 466 EP - 473 PB - Elsevier Science SN - 15244733 AB - Abstract Objective: Traditional cost–utility analysis assumes that all benefits from health-related interventions are captured by the quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) gained by the few individuals whose outcome is improved by the intervention. However, it is possible that many individuals who do not directly benefit from an intervention receive utility, and therefore QALYs, because of the passive benefit (aka sense of security) provided by the existence of the intervention. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact that varying quantities of passive benefit have on the cost-effectiveness of airline defibrillator programs. Methods: A decision analytic model with Markov processes was constructed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of defibrillator deployment on domestic commercial passenger aircraft over 1 year. Airline passengers were assigned small incremental utility gains (.001–.01) during an estimated 3-hour flight to evaluate the impact of passive benefit on overall cost-effectiveness. Results: In the base case analysis with no allowance for passive benefit, the cost-effectiveness of airline automated external defibrillator deployment was $34,000 per QALY gained. If 1% of all passengers received utility gain of .01, the cost-effectiveness declined to $30,000. Cost-effectiveness was enhanced when the quantity of passive benefit was raised or the percentage of individuals receiving passive benefit increased. Conclusions: Automated external defibrillator deployment on passenger aircraft is likely to be cost-effective. If a small percentage of airline passengers receive incremental utility gains from passive benefit of automated external defibrillator availability, the impact on overall cost-effectiveness may be substantial. Further research should attempt to clarify the magnitude and percentage of patients who receive passive benefit.

An eight-year flight program confirmed the role of SEP as a significant hazard and of the neutrons as contributing over half of the galactic cosmic ray exposures, with the largest contribution from neutrons above 10 MeV. The FAA Advisory Committee on the Radiobiological Aspects of the SST provided operational requirements. The more recent lowering of ICRP-recommended exposure limits 1990 with the classification of aircrew as “radiation workers” renewed interest in GCR background exposures at commercial flight altitudes and stimulated epidemiological studies in Europe, Japan, Canada and the USA. The proposed development of a High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) required validation of the role of high-energy neutrons, and this resulted in ER-2 flights at solar minimum June 1997 and studies on effects of aircraft materials on interior exposures. Recent evaluation of health outcomes of DOE nuclear workers resulted in legislation for health compensation in year 2000 and recent European aircrew epidemiological studies of health outcomes bring renewed interest in aircraft radiation exposures. As improved radiation models become available, it is imperative that a corresponding epidemiological program of US aircrew be implemented.

T1 - A comparison of nondestructive evaluation methods for bridge deck assessment JO - NDT & E International JF - NDT & E International Y1 - 2003/06// VL - 36 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 245 SN - 09638695 AB - Concrete bridge deck deterioration is a significant problem that must be addressed to preserve highway infrastructure investments in bridges around the world. Reducing the cost of bridge deck maintenance is critical to government and private agencies responsible for maintenance of bridges. Maintenance challenges increase as many bridges begin to approach the end of their design life and traffic loads continue to increase. One means of reducing the cost of bridge deck maintenance is to accurately evaluate the condition of the structure and its constituent materials. Current methods used to evaluate deterioration of bridge decks include acoustic, electrochemical, electromagnetic, and visual inspection techniques. The purpose of this study was to assess the advantages and limitations of three available evaluation methods. The evaluation techniques included in this study were ground penetrating radar, the chain drag method, and IE. These techniques represent an important group of inspection methods currently used to evaluate in-service bridge decks. The bridge deck used in the study contains significant delaminations but exhibits virtually no outwardly visible signs of these deficiencies, so a detailed visual inspection survey of the deck was not included. Cores were taken from the bridge deck at selected locations to confirm the accuracy of the results obtained through each evaluation method. This paper presents the findings from each method and describes their respective advantages and limitations.

This is a single-equation approach, which has the ability to provide impact analysis easily. The use of the ARMAX model allows for the general shape of the lag distribution of the impacts of the explanatory variables based on the ratio of lag polynomials for the independent and dependent variables. The ARMAX models, like the ARIMA models, provide for a short-term assessment of terrorist incidents on tourism.

Using primary data collected from a geographically stratified judgment sample of the safest U.S. motor carriers, we present observations and analysis of aspects of the driver hiring, driver training, and driver reinforcement activities of the "best safety performers" in the trucking industry. The findings imply that the safest trucking firms apply screening criteria consistently in all driver-hiring situations; emphasize pre-service and in-service training for company drivers and owner-operators alike; cover a broad scope of topics in several venues during their training programs and use several methods to evaluate drivers in those programs; and use an array of different types of rewards to support drivers who demonstrate safe driving performance. The information developed in this study could be useful to managers of new entrant carriers who are still developing their safety management programs, to managers of established carriers who might wish to compare or benchmark their existing driver hiring, training, and reinforcement practices to those of the safest trucking companies, and finally, to public safety agencies that might use the results as input to the development of educational components of their motor carrier safety programs.

AB - Many air traffic control specialists (ATCS) work relatively unique counterclockwise, rapidly rotating shift schedules. Researchers recommend that if rotating schedules are to be used, they should rotate in a clockwise (CW), rather than a counterclockwise (CCW) direction. Few studies have examined CW and CCW rapidly rotating shifts. This study was designed to partially remedy this lack by examining the effects of both types of schedules on sleep duration, timing, and quality. Participants (n=28) worked a week of day shifts (0800-1600 h) followed by two weeks of either a CW (n=14) or CCW (n=14) shiftwork schedule, including early morning), afternoon and midnight shifts. Participants recorded sleep data and subjective ratings of sleep quality, sleepiness, and mood in daily logbooks and wore wrist activity sensors to provide an objective source of sleep/wake data. There was no effect of rotation condition for any of the sleep measures. A main effect for Sleep Period indicated that both groups received less sleep prior to the early morning shifts than before the afternoon and midnight shifts. Sleepiness ratings were highest at the end of the midnight shift. Rotation condition did not play a significant role in the results of any of the sleep or subjective measures.

AB - Arguments against counterclockwise shift schedules, such as those used in air traffic control, are prevalent in the literature; however, few studies have examined direction of rotation in rapidly rotating schedules. The present study directly compared clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) rapidly rotating shiftwork schedules on measures of complex and vigilance task performance. Participants (n=28) worked day shifts for the first week of the study, followed by 2 wk of either a CW (n=14) or CCW (n=14) shiftwork schedule. Participants completed three 1.5-h sessions on the Multiple Task Performance Battery (MTPB) on each shift. Each session contained active- and passive-task components. In addition, participants completed a 0.5-h Bakan Vigilance Test at the beginning and end of each shift. A three-way, rotation condition by shift by session interaction for the active task composite scores and a rotation condition by shift interaction for the Bakan Vigilance Task indicated that effects of rotation condition were modulated by shift type, such that on particular shifts, performance in the CCW rotation was actually better than in the CW rotation. These data do not support the hypothesis that a CW rotation will result in better outcomes on complex or vigilance task performance.

Nuclear resonance reaction analysis using 15N has been applied to measure the evolution of the hydrogen profile. During the first few hours, the induction period, the hydrogen diffusion is controlled by a 10–20 nm thick surface layer. To observe this layer, the beam energy resolution must be on the order of 10 keV or less. This has been achieved at the dynamitron tandem accelerator at the Ruhr Universita¨t Bochum.

A first principle theoretical model is proposed, which allows obtaining three critical parameters, bulk sublimation rate, surface interaction potential, and the effective decay length, with no arbitrary parameters. The bulk sublimation rate predicted by the model is quantitatively confirmed by QCM experiments. The isothermal measurements with QCM showed that the sublimation activation energy of bulk TNT is 131 kJ/mol. More importantly, all results were obtained at one atmosphere and near room temperature. Thus, it should have direct impacts on explosive trace detection device applications.

JO - IIE Transactions JF - IIE Transactions Y1 - 2003/03// VL - 35 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 259 PB - Taylor & Francis Ltd SN - 0740817X AB - Aviation security protects vital national interests, as well as passengers and aircraft. Key components of an aviation security system include baggage and passenger screening devices and operations. Determining how and where to assign (deploy) such devices can be quite challenging. Moreover, even after such systems are in place, it can be difficult to measure their effectiveness. This paper describes how discrete optimization models can be used to address these questions, based on three performance measures that quantify the effectiveness of airport baggage screening security device systems. These models are used to solve for optimal airport baggage screening security device deployments considering the number of passengers on a set of flights who have not been cleared using a security risk assessment system in use by the Federal Aviation Administration (i.e., passengers whose baggage is subjected to screening), the number of flights in this set, and the size of the aircraft for such flights. Several examples are provided to illustrate these results, including an example that uses data available from the Official Airline Guide.

When mixed with concrete sand, standard flowable fill produces a mass density ranging from 1.8 to 2.3 g/cm3 (115–145 pcf). Scrap tires can be granulated to produce crumb rubber, which has a granular texture and ranges in size from very fine powder to coarse sand-sized particles. Due to its low specific gravity, crumb rubber can be considered a lightweight aggregate. This paper describes an experimental study on replacing sand with crumb rubber in flowable fill to produce a lightweight material. To assess the technical feasibility of using crumb rubber, the fluid- and hardened-state properties of nine flowable fill mixtures were measured. Mixture proportions were varied to investigate the effects of water-to-cement ratio and crumb rubber content on fill properties. Experimental results indicate that crumb rubber can be successfully used to produce a lightweight flowable fill (1.2–1.6 g/cm3 [73–98 pcf]) with excavatable 28-day compressive strengths ranging from 269 to 1194 kPa (39–173 psi). Using a lightweight fill reduces the applied stress on underlying soils, thereby reducing the potential for bearing capacity failure and minimizing soil settlement. Based on these results, a crumb rubber-based flowable fill can be used in a substantial number of construction applications, such as bridge abutment fills, trench fills, and foundation support fills.

Previous experimental studies have produced varying results regarding the tolerance of the pelvis to lateral force and compression. While bone mineral density (BMD) has been shown to correlate with fracture loads in the proximal femur, no such correlation has been established for the pelvis. Presently, we studied the relationships between total hip BMD and impact response parameters in lateral impacts of twelve isolated human pelves. The results indicated that total hip BMD significantly correlated with fracture force, Fmax, and maximum ring compression, Cmax, of the fractured pelves. These findings are evidence that BMD may be useful in assessing the risk of pelvic fracture in automotive side impacts. Poor correlation was observed between total hip BMD and maximum viscous response, (VC)max, energy at fracture, Epeak, and time to fracture, tpeak. Mean Fmax and calculated tolerances for Cmax and (VC)max were lower than those established in previous studies using full cadavers, likely a result of our removal of soft tissues from the pelves prior to impact.

If external standards exist, then the definition is straightforward: The correct answers determine expert performance. Unfortunately, external standards seldom exist in domains requiring expertise; that is why experts are needed in the first place. The purposes of this chapter are (1) to review traditional methods for defining expert performance in the absence of external standards and (2) to present a promising new approach for assessing expert performance (labeled CWS for Cochran-Weiss-Shanteau). Eight traditional procedures are reviewed, along with discussions of their advantages and disadvantages. Then CWS is presented, along with a technical elaboration. The CWS approach is illustrated through reanalyses of three previous studies of experts. A study of physicians revealed that expert diagnostic skill was related to both discrimination and consistency - the two components of CWS. In a study of agricultural judges, the sensitivity of CWS was demonstrated by its ability to distinguish between livestock judges with different subspecialties. In a study of auditors, CWS correctly linked group differences in expertise (experts vs. novices) to information relevance. These reanalyses demonstrate that CWS offers new insights into the nature of expertise.

AB - The decision-making strategies of pilots were examined using a linear modeling technique. 326 American, 104 Norwegian, and 51 Australian pilots completed a scenario-based judgment task in which they assigned a comfort rating to each of 27 weather scenarios for each of 3 routes. These data were then used to develop individual regression equations, for each pilot, that described the information combination process used to assign the comfort ratings. The results demonstrate the use of a consistent weather decision model among pilots in these diverse groups. Intercorrelations of mean comfort levels for the 27 scenarios were very high, and each group demonstrated a similar pattern of information use. For each group, the compensatory models of information utilization were favored over noncompensatory models. The results suggest that pilots share a common model for the use of weather information and that training interventions may be equally effective across countries.

AB - The authors have initiated a five-year study to investigate the learning styles of collegiate aviation students and track them by year group (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior and graduate). The study is based on earlier work by Brewster and Kanske (2001) that suggested significant differences between lower and upper division aviation students. This paper reports on data collected at the end of the first year from four hundred twenty (420) students sampled across eight aviation programs. The participating institutions were: Oklahoma State University-Stillwater, Oklahoma State University-Tulsa, Tulsa Community College, Southeastern Oklahoma State University on the Durant campus and at Tinker Air Force Base, Rose State College, University of Oklahoma and Purdue University. Kolb's Learning Style Inventory (LSI) was used to analyze the learning styles of the responding students. Findings from first-year data suggested converger or assimilator learning styles predominate within the college aviation student population (67.2%), comparable to earlier findings with United States Air Force pilot populations (67.8%). In addition, first-year data indicated that freshmen aviation student learning style distribution is similar to that found within the general student population. Such findings seemed to suggest a shift in student learning styles over the course of a 4-year college aviation experience. Data collected over the course of the five-year study may reveal whether such a shift results from learning style modification or self-elimination of students with a nonpredominant learning style. The authors believe that study findings will inform faculty and program administrators how best to meet the needs of all enrolled students.

One basic dimension of personality is cognitive style, which influences virtually every aspect of human life. This article deals with Adaption-Innovation (A-I) theory of cognitive style, which is one of many ways to measure style and does so on a continuum from highly adaptive to highly innovative style preferences. In this aviation education application of A-I theory, it was found that aircraft pilots and pilot trainees had a distinct cognitive style preference in that they were a fairly adaptive group when compared to population norms.

AB - Prompted by research conducted in 1998 pertaining to the Characteristics of Successful Aviation Leaders in Oklahoma, this article examines the literature for basic answers to some fundamental questions pertaining to values in leadership. The Oklahoma study involved interviews with successful aviation leadership for advice pertaining to education of future aviation leaders. One of the issues that surfaced from the leaders in that study was the importance of teaching values to tomorrow's aviation leaders. This notion raised a number of questions pertaining to values that must be answered by future research. Are leadership values such as honesty simply inherent to such industries as aviation where life and death decisions often depend upon an industry-wide commitment to honesty? Or are values critical to survival regardless of the industry? At what point can values be unlearned or so stressed by the realities of profits or other industry pressures that they take a back seat to those pressures? Are values teachable and should they be taught either as a part of industry-specific educational curricula or by organizational training modes to achieve a best fit with the organizational culture? These and other questions and issues explored in this article pertaining to values have far-reaching implications for the education of future leaders, not only in the field of aviation, but also other organizations of our day. Perhaps an understanding of the role of values in a variety of environments could provide valuable insights into the leadership pressures that create leadership breakdowns and failure of not only some of the major air carriers, but also the Enrons, Global Crossings, Arthur Andersens and other contemporary examples of organizational leadership gone awry.

AB - Twenty-four pilots and eight non-pilots participated in a randomized double-blind crossover study on performance changes in a fatigue-inducing 6-hour laboratory paradigm in the early evening hours on two different days without caffeine deprivation. After two hours of work on mental performance tests, either 250ml of a placebo (same Energy Drink, without Caffeine, Taurine and Glucuronolactone) or 250ml of an Energy Drink (containing Caffeine 80mg, Taurine 1000mg, and Glucuronolactone 600mg) were administered. Changes in performance were assessed during the following 4 hours. The kind of drink was switched on the second experimental day. Statistical hypotheses based on a preliminary study were tested via analysis of variance. Clear-cut positive effects of the energy drink could be demonstrated on choice reaction time and on performance in a concentration test. Effects persisted for more than two hours after administration. This long-lasting positive effect on performance can hardly be explained by the small dose of caffeine. In addition, pilots performed markedly better on the second day, despite the fact that tests were practiced extensively during baseline conditions. Effects on mood state and heart rate variability were less pronounced. Performance measures were controlled for errors to make sure that the effects were not due to a mere change in the speed/accuracy trade-off towards more speed. The study showed that breaks and nutrition in breaks can easily change the performance potential even in highly selected people like pilots. This offers positive options to cope with fatigue.

AB - The Department of Aeronautical Science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University recently moved into a state-of-the-art instructional building. Along with the new building came teaching opportunities previously unobtainable, or at least difficult to achieve on any scale. One of these occasions involved a requirement for students in a Flight Safety class to obtain instructional material (journal and magazine articles) independently from a variety of on-line sources, versus the traditional method of in-class distribution of handouts. Anecdotal evidence seemed to indicate that students tasked with retrieving and utilizing the publications themselves were less proficient in correctly answering test questions drawn from the material than were students who were provided the handouts of the same publications in class. A study was devised to test this observation, involving test and control groups of students in four Flight Safety classes over two semesters. Results indicated that, while there may have been significant differences in correct response rates to individual questions between the two groups, in the aggregate, there was no statistically significant difference in performance at the .05 level between test and control groups that was attributable to an electronic versus traditional mode of delivery of these specific course materials.

Recent developments in the spatial ability literature have identified a new ability, dynamic spatial ability. Along with the ability to coordinate information, dynamic spatial ability is considered particularly important to performance in these occupations. This study considered the predictive relevance of dynamic spatial ability and the ability to coordinate information for training results of air traffic controllers and pilots. A total of 86 trainees were administered a battery of paper-and-pencil and computerized spatial ability tests that included specific tasks to assess dynamic spatial ability and the ability to coordinate information. Results obtained revealed the importance of coordinating information, either as a specific skill or as a distinct task. Implications for current selection procedures for air traffic controllers and pilots are considered. Recommendations are also presented regarding the use and development of computerized measures for personnel selection in general.

AB - Safety culture research in aviation indicates that national, organizational, and professional cultures influence the overall safety culture in any given organization. Such research has been a result of the somewhat divergent developments in the fields of crew resource management and maintenance resource management. Therefore, different research groups, with somewhat different research methods, have been involved in the studies of flight operations personnel and maintenance personnel. This study is unique in that it presents an analysis of the extant safety culture in one aviation organization--using both flight operations personnel as well as maintenance personnel--and using a common questionnaire. The survey reported in this article is based on a survey of a stratified sample of flight operations personnel, maintenance personnel, and other employees to measure individual attitudes regarding safety and their opinions regarding the factors that may contribute toward their accident-free safety record. In the case of this particular partner company, the success factors were identified as follows: emphasis on compliance with the Standard Operating Procedures, collective commitment to safety, individual sense of responsibility toward safety, and the high level of employee-management trust.

AB - Previous research has indicated that the majority of errors made in aircraft cockpits are the result of faulty information transfer among members of the flight crew. This study examined the problem by manipulating leadership style and studying its effects on performance and satisfaction under conditions of high and low workload. The participants in this study were Old Dominion graduate and undergraduate psychology students between the ages of 18 to 42. Forty-one dyads reacted to true and false alarms while performing a primary psychomotor task. After the dyads completed the experiment, the researchers administered a survey to collect data about copilots' ratings of worker satisfaction. Statistical analysis revealed that dyads in the participative leadership condition reacted to the alarms significantly more appropriately than those in the autocratic condition did, and that participants in the low workload group reset primary task gauges significantly faster than those in the high workload group. The post experimental survey indicated that, in general, copilots were more satisfied with participative leadership. Also, copilots in the low workload group reported significantly more successful team interaction. The survey and alarm reaction appropriateness results could warrant training pilots to exercise participative leadership in times of task ambiguity.

AB - The FAA pilot knowledge test is a multiple-choice assessment tool designed to measure the extent to which applicants for FAA pilot certificates and ratings have mastered a corpus of required aeronautical knowledge. All questions that appear on the test are drawn from a database of questions that is made available to the public. The FAA and others are concerned that releasing test questions may encourage students to focus their study on memorizing test questions. To investigate this concern, we created our own database of questions that differed from FAA questions in four different ways. Our first three question types were derived by modifying existing FAA questions: (1) rewording questions and answers; (2) shuffling answers; and (3) substituting different figures for problems that used figures. Our last question type posed a question about required knowledge for which no FAA question currently exists. Forty-eight student pilots completed one of two paper-and-pencil knowledge tests that contained a mix of these experimental questions. The results indicated significantly lower scores for some question types when compared to unaltered FAA questions to which participants had prior access.

AB - According to self-efficacy theory, judgments and expectations concerning performance capabilities are relevant for the initiation, persistence, and modification of anxiety problems and specific fears. This article presents a study on the differential effects on self-efficacy expectancies of various treatment components in a fear of flying protocol. Subjects consisted of 199 patients (38.7% male and 61.3% female) with fear of flying, who applied to a treatment agency to deal with their fear of flying. Fear of flying was assessed with three specific flight anxiety measures before and after treatment, the FAS, FAM, and VAFAS. The treatment process was measured from assessment to follow-up at eight different points in time with two self-efficacy instruments, based on Bandura's work (Bandura, 1977, 1986): the Flight Self-Confidence Scale (FSCS), and the Fear of Flying Coping Scale (FFCS). Results showed that the most effective treatment components for enhancing self-efficacy were (in descending order of importance): (a) exposure, graded practice with an in-therapy flight, (b) relaxation training with breathing exercises, (c) information about flying, and (d) controlling up-setting thoughts. The conclusion is that performance experiences particularly enhanced self-efficacy. Limitations of the study are discussed and suggestions for future research provided.

AB - History is replete with examples of powerful organizations led by powerful people who recognized the value of passion or love for the job in accomplishing the extraordinary. Aviation is no exception. In fact, aviators are known for their passion for flying that sometimes borders on arrogance. Successful aviation leaders have recognized the value of that pride and passion in achieving organizational mission success. Contemporary research of aviation leadership indicates that aviators frequently see themselves as part of a prideful business that is unique in its history and its achievement. The uniqueness of aviation leadership is attributed to: the volatility and futuristic nature of the business; the safety issues and unforgiving nature of the profession that demands the highest standards; the visibility and public impact of aviation activity; the capital intensive requirements of the industry; the technical skills and single focus sometimes required for success; and the camaraderie and esprit' de corps of the aviation community who share a passion for the industry. This article utilizes the findings of a 1998 study of the Characteristics of Successful Aviation Leaders of Oklahoma to launch a review of the literature and explore the power of passion in leading aviation professionals.

SN - 09629343 AB - Background : The validity of the Functional Capacity Index (FCI) is evaluated by examining its distributional characteristics, its correlation with other well-known measures of outcome and its ability to discriminate among persons with injuries of varying type and severity. Methods : A telephone survey which included the FCI and the SF-36 was administered 1 year post-injury to 1240 blunt trauma patients discharged from 12 trauma centers. A subsample of 656 patients also completed the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) by mail. Results : FCI scores correlated well with the physical health subscores of the SIP and SF-36. They also correlated well with self-reported change in health status and return to work. The FCI, when compared to either the SF-36 or the SIP, however, appears to discriminate better among patients according to the presence and severity of head trauma. Conclusions : While further testing of the FCI is needed, it holds promise as a preference based measure for assessing the physical impact of trauma.

AB - The newly developed Air Traffic Selection and Training (AT-SAT) computerized test battery, which is to be used to select Air Traffic Control Specialists (ATCSs), was studied to determine the extent to which practice and coaching could improve scores and potentially impact hiring decisions. 143 Ss took the test 3 times: Group 1 had l-day coaching before all tests; Group 2 had coaching before the 2nd administration; Group 3 (control group) had no coaching. Scores were compared between and within each group using ANOVA with repeated measures. Results demonstrate that the composite AT-SAT score used for hiring decisions increases with repeated administrations; the greatest increase occurs following coaching.

To help in transitioning the technology to the rest of the country, a team of human factors experts collected data from 41 pilots regarding the use of these displays in day-to-day flight activities. Average pilot age was 37 yrs, average number of flight hrs was 4,962 hrs, and 39 of the pilots were instrument rated. Results from pilot interviews and self-administered questionnaires revealed a number of human factors design, safety, and training issues. Discussion focuses on display design and training recommendations for ADS-B displays that will ease the training burden, mitigate safety hazards, and accentuate safety improvements.

AB - Examined the benefits of the Tactical Vectoring Equipment (TVE) display in aiding shipboard conning officers manoeuvre in a battle group formation. In Exp 1, 34 surface wartime officers and other military personnel completed a nighttime aircraft piloting task simulation; subjects (Ss) indicated direction and distance of an aircraft carrier with and without TVE. In Exp 2, Ss maintained station 175 degrees relative at 274.3 m astern of a virtual aircraft carrier with and without TVE. Results show that those Ss using the TVE produced significantly fewer navigational positional errors than did others. The TVE provided immediate feedback regarding whether the aircraft carrier had changed bearing or speed, which enabled Ss to initiate the appropriate input to maintain station astern of the carrier. Using the TVE reduced confusion experienced at night due to a lack of visual cues. Ss using TVE demonstrated significant improvement in ship-handling skills and situational awareness.

AB - This study was performed to assess individual differences on a new scale developed to assess locus of control with respect to aviation safety. It was hypothesized that pilots would exhibit higher levels of internality than externality on this new scale. An existing safety locus of control scale was modified to place the items in an aviation context, and the items were administered to a sample of approximately 480 pilots. Internality and externality subscales were created, and construct validity was assessed by correlating these subscales with measures of resignation and involvement in hazardous aviation events. The subscales exhibited acceptable internal consistency, and were negatively correlated. Consistent with previous research, pilots exhibited substantially higher internality than externality. Correlation of the subscales with the measures of resignation and involvement in hazardous events supported the construct validity of the scale. Differences exist among pilots on the Aviation Safety Locus of Control scale that may be associated with increased accident risk. In its present form, the new scale might be employed as a self-awareness exercise for pilots or as a covariate in research investigating the effect of other factors on accident involvement.

First, the ground rules at the U.S. Transportation Security Administration, are the foundation of the approach. The logic in the approach to security is crucial and the benefits against the risks are to be weighed. The threats through enhanced intelligence analysis have to be analyzed, to consider how best to prepare and respond to the threat. Section 110 of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act calls for the screening of all cargo on passenger air carriers by November 19. The Transportation Worker Identification Credential program can enhance cargo security without inhibiting smooth operations of cargo carriers.

Ss wore a flexible rectal temperature sensor, and saliva samples were collected for melatonin and cortisol assay. No group differences were found for cortisol. The CW group had a significantly greater increase in melatonin during the early morning shift, compared with the CCW group. Core body temperatures revealed a significantly lower amplitude and a delay of the acrophase for the CCW group during both weeks of testing.

AB - Using a high-fidelity air traffic control (ATC) simulator, 10 2-person teams of certified ATC specialists performed routine ATC tasks within a single factor (low and high workload) repeated measure design. Performance was videotaped and the frequency of intra-team communications was counted. Post scenario perceptions of taskload and situational awareness were assessed using versions of 2 established indexes. Results show that, under high workload conditions, as perceptions of taskload increased, there was a corresponding and statistically significant increase in the frequency of intra-team communications. The data suggest that the increase in communications was used to maintain situational awareness. However, under low workload conditions this relationship was not significant. For both workload conditions, perceptions of situational awareness decreased as taskload increased.

AB - The influence of the air traffic control (ATC) message format and message length was investigated on the ability of general aviation pilots to read back ATC instructions. While flying a simulator, 12 pilots heard altitude and radio frequency instructions spoken in grouped format ('forty-one-hundred'), and 12 heard them sequentially ('four-thousand-one-hundred'). Only limited evidence was found that grouped message format improved pilot memory. Specifically, pilots who received altitude and radio frequency instructions in the grouped, rather than the sequential, format produced fewer requests for clarification, especially for longer messages. Pilots were also more likely to read back the grouped instructions in sequential format, suggesting that prior experience with the sequential format influenced pilot communication involving the relatively novel grouped format in this study.

This transition is known as the landing flare and requires pilots to level off the aircraft at a safe altitude above ground. General aviation landing flares are crucial to smooth and safe landings since flaring too high or too low may lead to a hard landing and possible structural damage. Nevertheless, the maneuver is poorly understood and landing flare accident rates are relatively high. This paper considers avian perceptual and stimulus discrimination abilities in order to better understand and improve the flare maneuver. It concludes by suggesting that the focus and methodology of modern psychology may have hindered the development of effective flare instruction.

JO - Transportation Quarterly JF - Transportation Quarterly Y1 - 2002///Fall2002 VL - 56 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 161 SN - 02789434 AB - Railroad track accident rates declined substantially since railroads underwent economic deregulation in 1980. This decline has been attributed to any of several factors including more stringent safety regulation, increased investment in physical plant, improved "safety culture" of firms, and improved technology. This article assesses the significance of these factors in the decline in railroad track accident rates for the period 1983-1994. The analysis applies a production function methodology commonly used to assess the productivity of public and private inputs in producing output. The analysis indicates that federal regulation during the 1983-1994 period, whether measured by defect rates, violation rates, or inspection rates, had a statistically insignificant affect on the rate of track accidents. Railroad track investment had a statistically significant affect on the decline in track accidents during the period. There were no statistically significant differences in the rate of change in track accident rates among firms given the level of other inputs. Lastly, while econometric considerations prevented direct testing for the impact of improved technology on the decline in track accidents, there was not a statistically significant acceleration or deceleration in the rate of technical change over the period.

AB - Poor private pilot decision-making has been identified as a factor in a large percentage of fatal general aviation accidents. Risk perception and risk tolerance are 2 factors that can significantly impact pilot decision-making. This study developed and evaluated measures to compare individual pilots on the risk perception and risk tolerance constructs. Pilots visiting a government web site completed some (n=642) or all (n=402) of 2 risk perception and 3 risk tolerance measures plus a short scale assessing involvement in hazardous aviation events; they also provided demographic information. Results suggest that a greater likelihood of pilot accident involvement is due to differences in cognitive skills required for accurate risk perception rather than differences in underlying personality traits related to risk tolerance.

AB - Reports on a project to harmonize the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System and the Human Error Reduction in Air Traffic Management technique. Two groups of air traffic control subject matter experts (SMEs) participated. The first group analyzed incident reports using each technique and identified the useful concepts form each technique for these cases. The second group evaluated the concepts identified by the first group. Based on these activities, the techniques were deemed to be compatible and harmonization proceeded. Elements from both techniques were retained and many were elaborated based on the SMEs' feedback. The integrated approach, called JANUS, is currently undergoing beta testing by seven European nations and the US Federal Aviation Administration.

The study compared clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) rapidly rotating shiftwork schedules on measures of complex task performance from the Multiple Task Performance Battery (MTPB) and vigilance from the Bakan Vigilance Task. 28 Ss aged 20-55 yrs worked day shifts for the 1st wk (0800-1600), followed by 2 wks of either a CW (n=14) or CCW (n=14) schedule that included 1 midnight (2200-0600), 1 morning (0600-1400), and 1 evening (1400-2200) shift. Performance in the 2 groups was generally equivalent, with a few exceptions in which the CCW group performed better. Early morning and midnight shifts may adversely affect sleep and performance more than does the direction of shift rotation.

AB - Investigated the perceptual advantages of multiband sensor-fused (achromatic and chromatic) imagery over conventional single-band nighttime (image-intensified and infrared) imagery for a wide range of visual tasks, including detection, orientation, and scene recognition. Participants were 151 active-duty military observers whose reaction time and accuracy scores were recorded during a visual search task. Data indicate that sensor fusion did not improve performance relative to that obtained with single-band imagery on a target detection task but did facilitate object recognition, judgments of spatial orientation, and scene recognition.

In an effort to evaluate in-flight medical care delivery on U.S. airlines, this study includes a detailed correlation between in-flight medical care, patient response, and postflight follow-up. A survey of five U.S. domestic air carriers from October 1, 1996 to September 30, 1997 showed 1132 in-flight medical incidents. These airlines accounted for approximately 22% of scheduled U.S. domestic enplanements during the period. Results indicate that there was good overall agreement between in-flight and postflight diagnoses (79% of cases), and passenger condition improved in a majority of cases (60%). The results suggest that in-flight diagnoses were generally accurate and treatment appropriate.

T1 - A note on the variance of paired comparisons estimates JO - Accident Analysis & Prevention JF - Accident Analysis & Prevention Y1 - 2002/05// VL - 34 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 401 SN - 00014575 AB - The method of paired comparisons to estimate treatment effectiveness was introduced by Evans (Evans L. Double pair comparison — a new method to determine how occupant characteristics affect fatality risk in traffic crashes. Accident Analysis and Prevention 1985;12:217–27). It is similar in form to other effectiveness estimates based on odds ratios using independent groups. Therefore, it has been generally assumed that the variance is computed in the same way. In this note, it is demonstrated, using a simple binomial model and linear approximation, that the variance is lower for paired comparisons estimates than for odds ratios estimates based on independent groups. In order to use odds ratios, there must be a treated group and an untreated group. Within each group there are occurrences of an event against which treatment effectiveness is being estimated and, also, occurrences of different event that is considered unamenable to the treatment. The treatment effectiveness, e, is estimated by 1−R where R is the ratio of amenable type events to unamenable ones in the treated group, divided by the same ratio for the untreated group. A distinction is made between ‘real’ paired comparisons and odds ratios based on independent data. An example of the independent case is, x is the number of fatalities in frontal crashes without air bags; y the number of fatalities in non-frontal crashes without air bags; s the number of fatalities in frontal crashes with air bags; and t the number of fatalities in non-frontal crashes with air bags. While fatalities in non-frontal crashes serve as denominators in R, a particular frontal crash is not paired with one particular non-frontal crash. In this case, in which all the data are independent, the variance of is approximately R2(1/x+1/y+1/s+1/t), a result which is consistent with well known results about the log odds ratio. For an example of real paired comparisons, we consider fatalities in cars that have a driver and exactly one unbelted right front seat passenger. Suppose there were x driver fatalities and y passenger fatalities in the cars in which the driver was also unbelted and s driver fatalities and t passenger fatalities in the cars in which the driver was belted. Since the fate of the passenger would not be amenable to ‘treating’ the driver, the same estimate of belt effectiveness based on these data, 1−(s/t)/(x/y), is reasonable. In this case, x and y, and s and t are not independent. This is due to the fact that while the overall probability of fatality in a crash is very low, the conditional probability of fatality given that someone else in the car died is greater than the unconditional probability of fatality. Under these circumstances, the variance of the paired comparisons estimate is reduced.

A linear split growth model was successfully used to predict the split growth in spectrum fatigue using the corresponding data under constant-amplitude fatigue. However, a linear degradation assumption was found to be inappropriate as it overpredicted lifetime under spectrum fatigue. The residual compressive strength did not show any sign of gradual reduction. The damage mode near the hole changed from longitudinal splitting to transverse extension of fiber failure and delamination as the fatigue stress increased. Thus, while the longitudinal split may serve as a measure of damage in high-cycle fatigue, the extent of transverse fiber failure is a better indication of residual compressive strength. It was shown that a compression-dominated fatigue loading spectrum could be shortened substantially by omitting the two lowest load levels at which no significant damage growth was seen under constant-amplitude fatigue.

Careful geotechnical planning and design are essential to protect these systems and to help ensure their overall success. Too often, however, the ability of the mine operator to adequately characterize the geotechnical environment and keep up with changing geologic conditions lags the advance rate of the mining equipment. Seismic tomographic imaging, based on the same principles as medical Computer-Aided-Tomography (CAT) Scans, offers the ability to identify changing geologic conditions, loading patterns, and the location of nearby abandoned mine workings. Although seismic tomography has been used for many years in the oil industry, until recently its practicality in the mining industry has been limited because the processes involved interfered with mining productivity and were labor-intensive in terms of data collection and interpretation. New advancements in signal processing have greatly enhanced the speed, resolution, and range of applications of tomographic imaging in underground coal mine settings.Many tomography applications in the mining industry use seismic velocity and/or attenuation tomography within a volume enclosed by the seismic source and receiver array. Although results obtained using this geometry work well in many situations, recent developments in reflection tomography show promise in eliminating the requirement that the target volume be surrounded by sources/receivers. For example, in-seam seismic reflection tomography may now be used to image structures and/or old workings from one general location in the mine (e.g., face areas of mains and panel developments) well ahead of planned developments—largely eliminating the need to probe-hole drill on regular intervals. These new developments have greatly expanded the ability of the mine operator to cost-effectively characterize previously inaccessible areas of the property.This paper gives an overview of the theories and processes involved in seismic tomography applicable to coal mine settings. Recent examples are presented of tomographic imaging applied to a variety of coal mine ground control problems and old works detection in the United States and Europe. The applicability of both seismic refraction and seismic reflection tomography is discussed.

Performance of 24 Ss (6 each high-time pilots, low-time pilots, student pilots, and nonpilots) was assessed during a flight task requiring Ss to track a 3-D course, from take-off to landing, represented by a graphical pathway primary flight display. Baseline performance data were collected with a conventional control system. Ss operated each system with minimal explanation of its functioning and no training. The fuzzy-logic performance control reduced variable error and overshoots, required less time for novices to learn, required less effort to use, and was preferred by all groups.

AB - Operational errors (OE) are recorded when air traffic control (ATC)specialists fail to maintain appropriate separation between aircraft, obstacles, etc. This study investigated the relationship of organizational factors to en route OE rates (errors per 100,000 operations) during 1997 and 2000 for 21 ATC facilities. Organizational factors, represented by facility mean scores on scales from 1997 and 2000 FAA Employee Attitude Survey data, included employee perceptions of equipment/facilities, job satisfaction, and perceptions of management practices. Supervisor-controller ratios (SCRs) were calculated for each facility by year. SCRs and mean scores for organizational factors were regressed on OE rate (N=42). Results show that SCRs, perceptions of how performance was managed, and perceptions of facilities and equipment were predictors of OE rates.

This study examined effects of both types of schedules on sleep duration, timing, and quality. Ss (n=28, aged 20-55 yrs) worked a wk of laboratory day shifts (0800-1600), followed by 2 wks of either a CW (n=14) or CCW (n=14) shiftwork schedule, including early morning (0600-1400), afternoon (14002200), and midnight shifts (2200-0600). Ss recorded sleep data in daily logbooks and wore wrist activity sensors as objective sources of sleep/wake data. Longer concentrated sleep periods occurred prior to the CW midnight shift; prevalent notions that CW rotations result in less sleep disruption were not fully supported.

Recommended radiation exposure limits are given. Crewmembers on commercial aircraft are exposed to higher doses of ionizing radiation than normally received by members of the general population in most parts of the world. The principal ionizing radiation is galactic cosmic radiation. On infrequent occasions, radiation from the sun leads to an increase in the ionizing radiation at aircraft flight altitudes. Radioactive cargo is another possible source of exposure to ionizing radiation. Crewmembers are exposed to nonionizing radiation in the form of electric and magnetic fields generated by the aircraft s electronic and electrical systems. Other potential sources of nonionizing radiation exposure are microwave radiation from the aircraft's weather radar, laser radiation, and ultraviolet radiation.

The authors compared different regression models' predictions of subjective workload estimates made by 16 subject matter experts on 5 occasions during 8 samples of air traffic activity. Predictors were different combinations of 4 taskload principal components computed from routinely recorded ATC data, 2 principal components representing number and duration of voice communication events, and 2 principal components representing content of voice communications. Several regression model comparisons identified 'reduced' regression models containing fewer predictors to predict workload ratings as well as a full model. Results demonstrate that routinely recorded ATC data provide a good estimate of subjective workload; analyses of voice communications improve slightly these estimates.

Results show that for some samples the degree of hydration is in fact higher at lower curing temperatures. To investigate this effect further, we performed a series of experiments in which samples are initially hydrated at one temperature and then the diffusion process limiting the long-term curing is monitored at a different temperature. The results confirm that the higher the initial curing temperature the more impervious are the product layers to later diffusion.

Twenty-four participants from the U. S. (aged 18-28 yrs) and Holland (aged 23-34 yrs and 57-69 yrs) were exposed to a simulated low-beam light source mounted on the hood of an instrumented vehicle. Participants drove at night in actual traffic along a track consisting of urban, rural, and highway stretches. The results show that the relatively low glare source caused a significant drop in detecting simulated pedestrians along the roadside and made participants drive significantly slower on dark and winding roads. Older participants showed the largest drop in pedestrian detection performance and reduced their driving speed the most. The results indicate that the deBoer rating scale, the most commonly used rating scale for discomfort glare, is practically useless as a predictor of driving performance. Furthermore, the maximum U. S. headlamp intensity (1380 cd per headlamp) appears to be an acceptable upper limit.

AB - Two computer programs, the National Airspace System Data Management System and the Performance and Objective Workload Evaluation Research (POWER) program, provide a platform for quantifying en route air traffic controller (ATC) activity and taskload. Development of specific measures is important for establishing baseline activity measures and for evaluating modifications to ATC systems. A Principal Components Analysis (PCA) was conducted on data collected from an en route ATC center to evaluate the current set of POWER variables and provide guidelines for new measures or modification of existing ones. PCA with Varimax rotation converged in 7 iterations producing 5 components with eigenvalues > 1. Additions or modifications to improve the ability of POWER to describe ATC activity and taskload were identified.

If external criterion (a "gold standard") exists, then identification is straightforward: Simply compare people against the standard and select whoever is closest. However, such criteria are seldom available for domains where experts work; that's why experts are needed in the first place. The purpose here is to explore various methods for identifying experts in the absence of a gold standard. One particularly promising approach (labeled CWS for Cochran-Weiss-Shanteau) is explored in detail. We illustrate CWS through reanalyses of three previous studies of experts. In each case, CWS provided new insights into identifying experts. When applied to auditors, CWS correctly detected group differences in expertise. For agricultural judges, CWS revealed subtle distinctions between subspecialties of experts. In personnel selection, CWS showed that irrelevant attributes were more informative than relevant attributes. We believe CWS provides a valuable tool for identification and evaluation of experts.

The thermal decomposition chemistry of nine different polycyanurates was studied by thermogravimetry, infrared analysis of solid films, and analysis of the gases evolved during pyrolysis using infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. It was found that the thermal stability of the polycyanurates was essentially independent of monomer chemical structure with the major mass loss occurring at about 450 °C for all materials. Analysis of the solid-state and gas phase thermal degradation chemistry indicates a thermal decomposition mechanism for polycyanurates which begins with hydrocarbon chain scission and cross-linking at temperatures between 400 and 450 °C with negligible mass loss, followed by decyclization of the triazine ring at 450 °C that liberates volatile cyanate-ester decomposition products. The solid residue after pyrolysis increases with the aromatic content of the polymer and incorporates about two thirds of the nitrogen and oxygen present in the original material.

Four hundred questionnaires were distributed to two of the company's airport bases where staff were able to complete the questionnaires voluntarily. One hundred four (26%) questionnaires were returned completed. The findings revealed that physical violence is a significant problem experienced by crewmembers and verbal abuse by passengers is extremely prevalent. Many crewmembers felt at risk of abuse or violence and those events beyond their direct control. The majority said that not enough was being done to prevent and manage air rage. Respondents also recognised that there were multiple causes of air rage, and that it was not purely attributable to intoxicated passengers. Most cabin crew would welcome further training to help them to cope with unruly and potentially violent passengers.

AB - This paper identifies issues in relation to competencies and programmes needed in developing 'knowledge-workers' for the international aviation industry. It suggests that there are two categories of knowledge relevant to aviation - academic and professional. The results of an international educational needs assessment survey are examined, identifying perceptions and concerns of current aviation workers. The study proposes a need to develop new knowledge and skills in professional tertiary-based entry qualifications and to further develop aviation specific graduate management programmes.

Separate retrospective and prospective analyses were conducted, and 45 measures from the survey were found to be associated significantly with accident involvement in the retrospective analysis. However, only 13 of those 45 measures achieved significance in the prospective analysis. Most of the measures found to be significantly related to accident involvement concerned aviation exposure; the remaining measures related to pilots' perceived and actual level of caution. The study is unique in its use of a cohort design for the examination of aircraft accident risk prospectively, and the results suggest the need for caution in the interpretation of retrospective analyses in this research domain. Actual or potential applications of this research include the design of aviation safety programs and the design or interpretation of studies that address indicators of aircraft accident risk.

AB - New decision aid technology, called decision support tools (DSTs), is being introduced into the air traffic control (ATC) workforce. Eight 2-person ATC teams participated in a decision support automation research experiment. Communication exchanges were assessed within a 2 (aircraft density) X 3 (type of DST) repeated measures design using an ATC communication taxonomy. A total of 3,194 communication events were coded. Results indicate that controller-to-controller communications may be differentially affected by varying levels of aircraft density and technology employed.

An accurate portrayal of breast cancer would also include a good amount of attention to the potential environmental factors since many women with breast cancer and activists are pointing to such potential causes. Our examination of daily newspapers, newsweeklies, science periodicals, and women's magazines showed that there was little coverage of possible environmental causation. There was also scant attention paid to corporate and governmental responsibility. Articles often focused on individual responsibility for diet, age at birth of first child, and other personal behaviours. Articles also emphasised genetic causation, even though this explained only a small fraction of breast cancer incidence. These factors combine to place personal responsibility on women for preventing the disease. Despite gains in understanding possible environmental causation and much scientific dialogue about it, especially in light of the endocrine disrupter hypothesis, and despite growing social activism, the print media have not paid much attention to environmental causation of breast cancer. Because the media have significant influence over public understanding and social action, this lack of attention may hold back scientific and activist pursuit of environmental causes of breast cancer.

Various nondestructive inspection (NDI) techniques are being used to obtain images of corroded regions on structures. A computational approach using wavelet transforms and artificial neural networks to analyze and quantify the extent of corrosion damage from the NDI images is described. The wavelet parameters obtained from the images were first used to classify between corroded and uncorroded regions using a clustering algorithm. The corroded regions were further analyzed to obtain the material loss due to corrosion using an artificial neural network model. Experiments were carried out to investigate the developed methods for aircraft panels with engineered corrosion obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration Validation Center in Albuquerque. The results presented indicate that the computational methods developed for corrosion analysis seem to provide reasonable results for estimating material loss due to corrosion damage.

To date, however, few efforts have been made to systematically organize these different approaches based on underlying theoretical similarities, and formalized methods for evaluating the utility of these multiple approaches have not been clearly defined. Many safety professionals, therefore, have been at a loss when choosing which error analysis and prevention approach to use within their organizations. As a result, those tasked with instituting human-centered safety programs often rely primarily on personal experience and intuition to address their needs. The purpose of this article is to help remedy this situation by providing safety practitioners with an overview of the prominent human error perspectives in aviation, as well as a set of objective criteria for evaluating human error frameworks.

AB - Studied the role of temperament and character as predictors of basic military training success and as indicators of susceptibility to maladaptive stress reactions. Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) scores for 3 groups of US Air Force 17-30 yr old basic trainees were compared: 47 trainees who were psychiatrically hospitalized, a control group of 46 trainees, and a group of 53 trainees identified as being at risk for early separation from basic training for psychological reasons. Results show that the control Ss had healthier temperament and character profiles than both the at-risk and hospitalized groups. There were no differences between the at-risk and hospitalized groups on TCI scores. The TCI successfully predicted 82% of controls, 25% of at-risk, and 64% of hospitalized recruits.

Pressure from veterans groups, as well as intra-governmental disputes, have driven innovative research directions and challenged the dominant epidemiological paradigm. This dominant epidemiological paradigm was originally a position that viewed stress as the primary causal factor. In the emerging dominant epidemiological paradigm, researchers view veterans' symptoms as similar to other multi-symptom diseases and conditions, but with a firmer respect for the reality of those symptoms. In addition, some researchers pursue interactions between stress and physical exposure. We examine the evolution of the DEP to demonstrate that in many disease disputes, an affected population challenges government and science decision-making, and even ways of knowing, in an attempt to negotiate a disease definition and etiology that results in better treatment and prevention. After considerable research effort, only limited evidence has been found for environmental causation, and even many researchers sympathetic to veterans are doubtful that much more will be found. We analyze the social discovery and ongoing contestation of these illnesses, and the consequent effects on health and public policy. For extension to other disease disputes, we provide an overall model of disease discovery and contestation, examining the key forces of government, science, and citizens.

AB - In 4 experiments, participants alternated between different tasks or performed the same task repeatedly. The tasks for 2 of the experiments required responding to geometric objects in terms of alternative classification rules, and the tasks for the other 2 experiments required solving arithmetic problems in terms of alternative numerical operations. Performance was measured as a function of whether the tasks were familiar or unfamiliar, the rules were simple or complex, and visual cues were present or absent about which tasks should be performed. Task alternation yielded switching-time costs that increased with rule complexity but decreased with task cuing. These factor effects were additive, supporting a model of executive control that has goal-shifting and rule-activation stages for task switching. It appears that rule activation takes more time for switching from familiar to unfamiliar tasks than for switching in the opposite direction.

AB - As part of the development of qualification guidelines for a personal computer-based aviation training device (PCATD), a task analysis of flight tasks for the private pilot certificate was completed. The primary goal of the task analysis was to identify training device requirements for supporting specific private pilot maneuvers. Before PCATDs can be authorized for use as qualified and approved training devices within a private pilot flight training course, a set of qualification guidelines must be developed for use by the FAA in evaluating such potential training devices. This task analysis constitutes the first steps in the development of those qualification guidelines.

We used a sample of 9,793 trainees to address these questions and were able to compare those who succeeded on the job with those who did not succeed on the job. We found that some personality factors positively correlate with skill acquisition and that skill acquisition can predict the level of subsequent job performance.

AB - In a series of experiments using monosyllabic words produced by a native and a non-native speaker of English, native English speakers monitored the word-initial consonants of the words to decide which of two consonants was present on each trial. In some of the experiments, a secondary task of a linguistic nature, deciding whether the target-bearing word was a noun or verb, was also required. When the words were presented in silence, the native and non-native stimuli were processed in a like manner. Specifically, when the secondary task was not required, phonemic decisions tended to be made on the basis of prelexical information, whereas when the secondary task was required, they tended to be made on the basis of postlexical information (see Eimas, Marcovitz Hornstein, & Payton, 1990). However, when the listening conditions were degraded by presenting the words at a lower level and in noise, the two types of stimuli yielded different patterns. Native speech was processed as before, whereas for non-native speech phonemic decisions now tended to be made on the basis of postlexical information both when a secondary task was required and when it was not. The contrasting results for native and non-native speech are discussed in terms of models of phoneme processing.

AB - Analyzed audiotapes of communications between pilots flying aircraft equipped with a cockpit display of traffic information (CDTI) and terminal radar approach controllers, who provided air traffic services. When using CDTI, pilots and controllers participated more frequently in collaborative communications that resulted in less radio-frequency congestion and improved overall communications. Only 4% of pilots' and controllers' messages revealed communication problems such as inaccuracies, procedural deviations, and non-routine transactions. Information load, the novelty of pilot-initiated traffic calls, access to and knowledge of the traffic call sign by pilots, and variability in ATC message structure each contributed to communication problems. New procedures and operational communications will be needed to support CDTI and provide guidance for collaborative decision-making.

AB - Analyzed air traffic control communication and workload in a simulated terminal radar approach control environment. Eight controllers provided services to simulated arrival aircraft during a moderate-traffic density simulation in which voice radio and data link communications were available. The effect of a delay in downlinked pilot acknowledgment time to controller uplinked messages was the primary variable of interest; i.e., the study sought to disentangle the effects of delay from those due to the communication environment on controller workload. When controllers used data link, transmissions took nearly 2 sec longer to complete than comparable messages sent by voice. When compared with voice radio messages, controllers took longer to formulate and transmit messages over a data link-communications system, but their messages were more accurate and contained fewer message elements. Other findings also are discussed.

AB - Investigated the effect that response anchor modifications have on item functioning. In this study, the survey item results of respondents from 2 separate administrations of a large biennial employee attitude questionnaire were compared for differences that may have resulted from modification to 29 items. 8,393 returned employee surveys were obtained from the FAA. Due to the desirable properties of invariant nonsample, specific item parameters, item response theory provides an excellent vehicle for the evaluation of differential item functioning (DIF). Significant levels of DIF were expected for those items whose response anchors differed between administrations. In addition, the amount of DIF was expected to be greater for those items where the changes in the scale anchors deviated more from their original format. The results of the study lend mixed support to the view that item anchors make a difference in the way survey items function and that their importance should not be overlooked when developing and using attitudinal measures. Significant DIF indices occurred for 3 of the 5 items that were exactly the same for both administrations of the survey.

Issue Publication Date: Feb, 2001. AB - The use of drugs and alcohol in aviation is closely monitored by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Aviation Medicine's Civil Aeromedical Institute through the toxicological analysis of specimens from pilots who have died in aviation accidents. Frozen specimens (from 1683 pilots) received from local pathologists were tested and the results entered into a computer database for future analysis. The data were sorted based on the class of drug, controlled dangerous substance schedules, prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, and alcohol. Specimens were analyzed between 1994 to 1998. The results of the research supports the very low incidence rate of drugs found in the FAA random drug-testing program. Over-the-counter medications are the most frequently found drugs in fatal aviation accidents and many of these drugs could impair a pilot's ability to safely fly an aircraft. This data is helpful to the FAA in developing programs to reduce the usage of dangerous drugs and identify potentially incapacitating medical conditions that may cause an accident. Data collected from this research can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the FAA drug-testing program.

High and low driving anger participants were randomly assigned to one of 4 conditions: (1) anonymous vs identifiable driver; and (2) exposure to aggressive stimuli vs nonaggressive stimuli. Participants drove more aggressively when they were anonymous and exposed to aggressive stimuli. Males drove more aggressively than did females.

AB - Beginning in the early 1980s and continuing through the middle 1990s, the US Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) sponsored a comprehensive research and development program to evaluate and enhance the Army's personnel selection and classification procedures. It was actually a set of interrelated efforts (one major effort named 'Career Force,' collectively known as 'Project A,' that were carried out by the sponsor (ARI) and a contractor consortium of 3 organizations (the American Institutes for Research—AIR, the Human Resources Research Organization—HumRRO, and the Personnel Decisions Research Institute—PDRI). This chapter investigates the dimensions of the overall work environment for US Army enlisted jobs, examines patterns of relationships between individual work environment factors and different kinds of performance measures, and investigates potential moderating effects of work environment on the relationships between individual differences and job performance.

AB - 36 pilots were tested in a flight simulator on their ability to decide which of 2 airports was furthest from a storm front, based on the manner in which information was presented on a navigational display. The results support the superiority of graphical over textual information display. Pilots were faster using the map display than using either of 2 text displays. In addition, pilots performed better using a north-up display than when using a track-up display. Discussion of the results focuses on recommendations for moving-map displays and the support of the nearest airport function within a navigational display.

AB - Discusses fatigue and alertness in the US railroad industry. The railroad industry must actively manage employee fatigue and alertness problems to maintain an optimal level of operational safety and productivity. Given the necessity to operate nights and irregular hours, weekends and holidays under a wide range of physical conditions and service demands, avenues to ensure employees are fit, alert, and well-rested have to be explored. Effective fatigue management programs must address train crews, dispatchers, signalmen, track workers, and other personnel. Work scheduling is a particular problem in on-call operations because of start-time variability, 'call' predictability, and the common use of 'shorter-than 24-h work/rest schedules'. Extensive night operations are incompatible with normal circadian rhythms. These and other institutional factors significantly contribute to employee sleep deficit and overall fatigue. Ongoing research into fatigue mitigation and alertness enhancement strategies and into advanced technologies such as Positive Train Control can lead to improvements. These include better labor–management agreements, more effective fatigue-related educational programs, improved schedule regularity, and more practical and adaptable federal laws and regulations.

AB - The Office of Research and Development at the Federal Railroad Administration, with its Fatigue Research Program, has embarked upon a non-prescriptive approach to better manage fatigue in the railroad industry. This program includes the development and implementation of improved fatigue data collection methodologies, better measurement and evaluation tools, and more effective fatigue countermeasure strategies. The North American Rail Alertness Partnership (NARAP) has become an important means for understanding the fatigue-related problems in various operational settings, and for identifying specific programmatic areas that will better meet the needs of the industry. The program goals of improving the feasibility, utility and cost effectiveness of fatigue management are to be realized with the cooperative efforts of the government, unions, and the railroad industry, particularly though NARAP, and by broadly disseminating important technical findings through journal publications and conference proceedings.

AB - Studied relationships between pilot family life, workplace stress, and performance in US coast guard pilots. 19 US coast guard helicopter pilots (aged 26–47 yrs) at 2 air stations completed a stress questionnaire, rated the importance of various coping strategies, and evaluated their own flying performance. Data were collected as part of a larger study on crew rest. Results indicate that effects of domestic stress carry over to the pilots' work world, directly influencing work stress and indirectly affecting pilots' perceptions of their flying performance. Pilots rated 3 aspects of home life as the most 'important' factors in helping them cope with problems of stress. Management needs to maintain awareness of how the quality of home life may affect the work environment and overall performance.

AB - 36 pilots (aged 19–67 yrs) were tested in a flight simulator on their ability to intercept and fly a pathway depicted on a highway-in-the-sky (HITS) display. While performing, Ss were required to watch for traffic outside the cockpit. Additionally, pilots were tested on their awareness of speed, altitude, and heading during the flight. Results indicated strong practice effects for Ss ability to intercept the pathway; the presence of a flight guidance cue significantly improved performance. The ability to spot traffic was more affected by task difficulty than by display appeal. Recommendations are given for new display concepts to support secondary flight information on the display for training and use of HITS displays and for display enhancements to support situation awareness.

AB - Designed an operational evaluation of Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast technologies, to demonstrate the use and potential benefits of CDTI, including safety, efficiency, and capacity. 13 aircraft and their flight crews (industry, government and private) flew multiple flight patterns twice in a single day. Each traffic pattern was assigned to either the CDTI or baseline (no CDTI) condition. Human factors Os recorded data from the flight decks and the control tower and air traffic control data were recorded by the facilities. Because of the complexity of the evaluation, new computerized analysis techniques were developed and conducted. Those techniques are described in detail, as well as the results of the analysis as they relate to approach event occurrence, approach event spacing (nautical miles), and graphical flight profiles.

Results were based on survey questionnaires returned by 41–50 yr old commercial passenger and freight pilots. The 103-item questionnaire covered: (1) organizational influences, (2) unsafe supervision, (3) preconditions for unsafe pilot acts, and (4) unsafe pilot acts. Pilots were pre-coded into groups based on whether their current employer had experienced a CFIT accident within a 5-yr period. Having to fly in marginal weather conditions was a common experience for all respondents. Pilots who worked for companies that had a CFIT accident rated their company's safety climate and practices significantly lower than pilots who worked for CFIT accident free companies.

AB - 30 en route air traffic controllers (mean age 40 yrs) participated in an investigation of aircraft mix, a proposed sector complexity factor. Controllers rated the 'familiarity' (i.e., frequency of encounter) of 30 selected aircraft and provided weight class, engine number, engine type, cruising speed, climb, and descent rate estimates for each. A matrix of squared Euclidean distances derived from summary estimates (i.e., means of speed, climb, and descent) was used to construct a multidimensional scaling model of the aircraft. Multiple regression interpretation revealed that Dimension 1 was related to engine type, Dimension 2 to weight class. The position of elements in the derived stimulus space indicated that controllers may develop performance-related prototypes through the use of multiple cues from a number of sources.

AB - Examined the effect that observation of a computer-generated playback of team performance had on simulated air traffic control (ATC) team cohesion, system outcomes, and subjective workload. Ss were 240 18–30 yr olds, who participated as 4-person teams in simulated ATC tasks with varied aircraft density. System outcomes were defined as the percentage of aircraft that reached their destination, the amount of aircraft delay, and the number of safety errors. Results suggest that observing a computer playback of team performance enabled team members to gain a systems perspective of how their performance both affected and was affected by others, enabling them to better coordinate their individual efforts. This perspective improved team cohesion and the percentage of aircraft that reached their destination within the time constraints of a given scenario. However, as aircraft density increased, improvements diminished. Additional specialized training may be necessary for ATC teams to improve coordination during periods of high workload.

There is evidence for the development of outer beltways and freeways and intercity corridors. Transportation agencies proposes the application of a new design and construction process that gives longer lasting roadways, requiring less reconstruction which would be less disruptive to traffic. There are proposals for the privatization of the Interstate Highway System. And revenue sources are allocated to pay for highways.

Value pricing, also known as congestion pricing or peak-period pricing involves the assessment of relatively higher prices during travel during periods of peak demand. Value pricing methods are proposed for implementation in new freeway traffic lanes. Strategies that involve tolling free lanes are implemented in several areas. There is evidence that freeway traffic bottlenecks reduce vehicle throughput during rush hours due to constricted flow. In addition, Fast and Intertwined Regular Lanes would provide increased incentives for transit use and carpooling.

To distinguish these 2 constructs, 2 surveys were administered (6 mo apart) to employees of a division that was undergoing change in a federal agency. Data were matched for 70 of the respondents on the 2 surveys. Results show that a measure of cynicism about change did not predict trust in coworkers or in work area managers, but did predict trust in division managers. Although results did not conclusively demonstrate a distinction between the 2 constructs, they suggested that the constructs are related in a predictable manner.

One disadvantage is the inadvertent measurement of extraneous abilities related to prior experience with a computer keyboard or mouse. This study examined the relationship between computer experience and test performance using a computerized selection test. 96 Ss ages 18–30 participated. Computer experience was measured using the Computer Use and Experience Questionnaire. The personnel selection test used was the Air Traffic-Selection and Training (AT-SAT) test. Relationships between computer experience and test performance were investigated using Pearson's product-moment correlation and hierarchical multiple regression. MANOVA and t-tests assessed group differences on the dependent variables. Education was most predictive of AT-SAT performance, and people with more computer experience received higher composite AT-SAT scores.

Ss worked 3 early morning shifts, rapidly rotated to the midnight shift, and completed, during the midnight shift, 3 test sessions (1 before, 2 after the nap) involving 2 computer-based tasks: the Air Traffic Scenarios Test (ATST) and the Bakan vigilance test. Both nap conditions (the long was superior) resulted in better performance than no nap on the Bakan test. ATST was less sensitive to differences in napping and to the natural circadian trough.

AB - A new display system being implemented in air route traffic control centers will allow controllers less room to post Flight Progress Strips (FPSs), which are used to obtain information about a flight and to record changes in flight parameters such as route, speed, or altitude. In order to examine the performance and workload effects of removing some of the redundant behaviors (posting and marking) associated with the FPS that are required for en route air traffic control, a new marking and posting procedure—designed to reduce the controller's need for, or reliance on, the FPS—was tested. The 48 participants were individual controllers and controller teams operating in either high- or low-altitude sectors. Results showed that controllers posted fewer FPSs and marked them less often in the experimental procedure. No detrimental effects on performance, workload, position relief briefings, or team communications were observed. On-line measures of workload were comparable and sometimes lower for the experimental condition. Most controllers reported that they preferred the experimental procedure.

AB - 36 pilots were tested in a flight simulator on their ability to decide correctly which of 2 airports was farther from a storm front, based on the manner in which information was presented on a navigational display. Pilots were significantly faster using a map display than using either a text-only display or an enhanced-text display and they made fewest errors under the graphical display condition. The results support the superiority of graphical over textual information display of nearest airport information. In addition, pilots performed better using a north-up map than when using a track-up map. The presence of turbulence during the task did not have much effect on decision performance. Discussion of the results focuses on recommendations for moving-map displays and the display requirements for support of the nearest-airport function within a navigational display.

While human factors are not directly involved in the legal aspects of certification, they should be in the overall system development cycle from the beginning of the process. This increases the possibility of user-friendly, productive systems that are ready to go through the final step of legal certification. The role of the US Federal Aviation Administration in certifying air traffic control systems is discussed, and how human factors have become more important in this process is noted.

AB - Assessed the ability to measure performance of 107 en route air traffic controllers (mean age 37.4 yrs) with a work sample approach utilizing an Air Traffic Selection and Training (AT-SAT) high fidelity computerized simulation procedure, in which Ss responded to air traffic scenarios. Fourteen highly experienced controllers served as raters. Performance was measured by an over-the-shoulder (OTS) rating scale with 8 dimensions and a behavioral and event checklist (BEC). OTS dimensions were highly intercorrelated. Most BEC variables had statistically significant intercorrelations. Interrater reliabilities were high for OTS ratings. Relevant variables for the OTS and BEC measures were combined and subjected to an overall principal components analysis to represent a final high fidelity performance criterion space. Results yielded 2 factors interpreted as Overall Technical Proficiency, and Poor Sector Management. It is concluded that the work sample/simulation procedures, individual performance measures and 2 component model represents a parsimonious, comprehensive and psychometrically sound depiction of air traffic controller criterion space.

AB - Performance of Air traffic control specialists (ATCS) is often evaluated using over-the-shoulder (OTS) ratings of expert air traffic controllers. However OTS ratings are subjective and time-consuming. This study examined whether alternative methods for measuring ATCS performance could be as effective as OTS ratings. OTS ratings were replaced by computer-derived measures and 2 types of behavior checklists. Of interest was the effectiveness of computer-derived measures alone as well as the need for supplementation with behavior checklists. The possible redundancy of the 2 types of checklists (Behavioral and Event checklist [BEC] and the Remaining Actions Form [RAF]) was also considered. Ss were 107 air traffic controllers and 14 expert controllers who served as raters. A model including counts of mistakes and computer-derived performance measures predicted the OTS rating; a model containing only the computer-derived measures did not. Of the 2 behavior checklists evaluated, the BEC measure alone produced a model equivalent to the full model containing all the predictor variables. In comparison, the RAF was not effective in predicting performance.

AB - Studied performance reaction time (RT), response accuracy, and indices of oculomotor, electroencephalographic, and cardiovascular activity during a 50-min task. Twenty Ss (aged 19–28 yrs) maintained comparable performance across task segments, but variability in RT and accuracy increased with time on task (longer blink durations, decreased post-stimulus blink latencies, decreased anticipatory and reactive saccade velocities and amplitudes, and fewer and later reactive saccades). Target stimuli were associated with more efficient anticipatory eye movements. Without blinks, RTs were substantially delayed; very short latency blinks yielded more variable RTs and increased errors; late blink latencies yielded late RTs; especially long duration blinks yielded decreases in performance accuracy; larger amplitude reactive saccades yielded increased RT. These and other electroculographic effects were accompanied by systematic changes in EEG and cardiovascular responses.

AB - Examines the untested proposition that organizational activities perceived by a workforce as being unfair contribute to workforce cynicism. 120 federal agency employee undergoing organizational change were surveyed. Results suggest that fairness perceptions predict cynicism, but the strongest predictor of cynicism is organizational trust based on the relationship between 5 measures of fairness (fairness of awards, award system, work distribution, work level and supervisors), 4 workplace characteristic variables (episodic stress, role overload, organizational trust, and job satisfaction), and 2 measures of cynicism (cynicism about change and coworker cynicism). The strongest predictor of both measures of cynicism is organizational trust; fairness perceptions play a limited role in predicting perceptions of cynicism.

AB - Developed 3 scenarios designed to vary in difficulty based on the number of aircraft presented over time (i.e., low, medium, and high aircraft density) to air traffic control specialists (ATCSs), and assessed the effects of these scenarios on: (1) system outcome measures (i.e., aircraft delay time, safety errors, and percentage of aircraft reaching their destination), (2) subjective workload, and (3) the practice effects associated with repeated scenario administrations. 31 4-person teams (comprised of 18–30 yr old high school graduates) were trained in the ATCS procedures for each scenario. Results show that the scenarios could be used to develop standardized training conditions. In addition, through experiential learning, the Ss were able to improve their team coordination skills between the 1st and 2nd administration of a given scenario. Overall results show that scenario performance is in fact sensitive to the incremental adjustment in aircraft density.

The approach is useful especially in cases where four-step urban travel models are either unavailable or are unable to forecast the full induced demand effects. The methodology is applied to a hypothetical freeway expansion analysis. Our analysis suggests that the magnitude of travel induced by highway expansion increases significantly as a function of initial congestion levels prior to expansion. However, under even extreme scenarios of initial congestion and consequent forecasted induced travel, there is a positive impact with respect to congestion relief.

As part of a concurrent validation study, 1083 ATCSs from 12 en route centers took newly developed air traffic control selection tests. Tests in the 6-hour battery were developed to measure knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics relevant to the ATCS job, e.g., ability to prioritize, situational awareness, planning, execution, thinking ahead, short-term memory, reasoning, decisiveness, concentration, perceptual speed and accuracy, mathematical reasoning, and ability to deal with dynamic visual movement. Regression analysis and analysis of variance procedures suggested some age-related decline in those cognitive abilities that are most important to successful job performance.

Until recently, handbook databases and equations were used almost universally for electronic equipment reliability prediction based on failure rates; however, handbook usage is declining and new approaches are needed. Representatives of a large segment of the aerospace industry have worked together to develop an alternative. The Reliability Assessment Program (RAP) is credible, easy to use and holds promise for wide acceptance. RAP does not prescribe a uniform method for all users; instead, it is flexible, encouraging the user to take into account all the unique design, manufacturing and use factors critical to the reliability of the product being assessed. A RAP document is being developed as an industry consensus standard for aerospace electronic equipment manufacturers to use in documenting their reliability assessment processes, including data sources, calculation and analysis methods, results reporting and continuous improvement of the assessment process by comparing assessment results with achieved in-service reliability. RAP is described in this paper, along with current activities to implement it and gain acceptance across the industry. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Assessment ratings of job performance by peers and supervisors also served as a criterion measure. Results of ANOVA and regression analysis reveal that, on average, older air traffic control specialists (aged 42+ yrs) received lower scores on measures of job performance. An appendix of the performance categories for peer and supervisor rating scales is provided.

AB - There is increasing evidence that psychosocial risk factors related to the job and work environment play a role in the development of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). A longitudinal study assessed the influence of 6 psychosocial factors and 2 cost-effective ergonomics interventions on physical discomfort and stress scores reported by employees within a federal government organization. Results revealed that stress scores decreased significantly across time, but physical symptom scores did not, nor were the latter affected by the ergonomic interventions. Two psychosocial factors provided significant and reliable adjustment to stress and physical discomfort scores.

Safety perceptions were baselined in 1992 and a followup assessment of 329 employees was conducted in 1995 to assess differences in perceptions of safety that may have resulted from changes made in the safety program and to determine the managerial and organizational factors that may have affected those safety perceptions. Results show that specific actions intended to demonstrate the importance of safety can lead to higher levels of perceived management and supervisory support for safety and to higher levels of perceived safety in the workplace. However, they do not appear to influence perceptions of organizational politics, supervisory fairness, or coworker support for safety.

AB - Evaluated the written air traffic control specialist (ATCS) aptitude test battery for evidence of predictive racial bias vis-à-vis the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures. Used step-down hierarchical regression analysis for differential prediction of ATCS training performance with 282 African-American and 8,542 White entrants (mean age 26 yrs). Analysis based on R² uncorrected for restriction in range found significant group differences in the intercepts but not slopes; corrected R² yielded significant differences by race in both slopes and intercepts. Thus separate group regression equations were appropriate to predict training performance. Composite aptitude test scores over-predicted the performance of African Americans in initial training.

Hypothesis: Ss who preferred an adaptive style of processing would perform better than those who preferred an innovative style. Computer-based scenarios in screening, practice, and experimental trials with 184 high school graduates. Based on earlier research, better performance was more likely when S adhered to scenario rules. Performance was measured by the number of times S violated 2 types of scenario rules. Cognitive style significantly affected performance only during experimental trials. Performance of Adaptors improved across trials; that of Innovators did not. Innovators, although perhaps having some initial advantage, may not be able to sustain performance in this type of task.

The patient's history of major depression and a suicide attempt and presentation with gender dysphoria is discussed, as is the fact that, in itself, gender dysphoria is does not disqualify an individual from aeromedical certification. The author goes on to describe the process of gender transition, and recommends the institution of an observation period due to the potent effects of high-dose estrogen and testosterone on the psyche. The author also indicates the involvement of a new developmental process in fully adapting to their new gender identity, likening this period to the emotionally and physically unstable period of adolescence.

Used factor-analytic techniques to reduce 308 pilots' ratings from a 163-item survey to 24 factors. These factors are suitable for identifying human factors issues related to GPS receiver displays and controls, operating procedures, navigation performance, training, and other topical areas. Multivariate analysis of variance revealed that GPS experience and receiver type influenced pilot ratings for several of these factors. Results are consistent with previous research and applications are discussed.

AB - Examined data on the extent to which specific shift schedules might interact with operational errors/deviations (OEDS) in air traffic control. Data from the Federal Aviation Administration Operational Errors/Deviations System was used to identify patterns of OEDS as they related to shift, time of day, day of work week, time of employee on position, employee's last non-control activity, time since last non-control activity, type of last day off, incident severity, employee awareness of incident, and employee causal factors. The latter included data posting, radar display, aircraft observation, communications, coordination, and position relief briefing. Results shoed 80% of OEDS occurred between 0800 and 1900 hrs, and nearly 50% occurred within the 1st 30 min on position. No shift variables were strong predictors of error severity. It would thus appear shiftwork fatigue did not predict OEDS increases. The influence of data collection accuracy for future assessments is discussed.

Page Count: 20. Issue Publication Date: 1999. AB - Examined 4 automation-related malfunctions (runaway pitch trim up, roll servo failure, roll sensor failure, pitch drift up) and subsequent pilot responses in Study 1. Study 2 examined 4 additional malfunctions, 2 more immediately obvious (runaway pitch trim down, runaway roll servo) and 2 more subtle (failed attitude indicator, pitch sensor drift down), and the effect of an auditory warning. A total of 50 pilots (aged 20–72 yrs) participated in both studies. Data collection was performed in the Civil Aeromedical Institute's Advanced General Aviation Research Simulator, configured as a Piper Malibu. Results suggest that maladaptive responses to some of these failures may, in a significant percentage of cases, lead to significant altitude loss, overstress of the airframe, disorientation of the pilot, or destruction of the aircraft. Percentages of successful recoveries, detection and correction times, and related indexes of performance are discussed in the context of malfunction type, flight profile, and auditory alerts.

AB - Twelve air traffic control (ATC) instructors controlled simulated traffic while 3 techniques for determining situation awareness (SA) were implemented. These SA measures were used with a measure of workload to predict 2 different performance measures: an over-the-shoulder, subjective assessment by a subject matter expert (SME) and a count of the number of control actions remaining to be performed at the end of the scenario. The SME evaluation was predicted by workload and the controller's appreciation of both the present and the future. The remaining-actions count (RAC) was predicted by the controller's appreciation of the future; appreciation of the present led to poorer RAC scores. Future versus present is an important conceptual difference in ATC.

N2 - Presents the results of several studies that examined the interactive effects of age and sex on injury patterns and outcomes in older motor vehicle crash occupants. Three studies are reviewed that are based on data available to members of the Crash Injury Research Engineering Network (CIREN). The studies suggest that there is an increased vulnerability to injury among older motor vehicle crash occupants, particularly for thoracic injuries in postmenopausal women. This may be due to the fact that women are smaller than men and tend to drive older cars that may not be equipped with air bags. Women aged 60-99, compared with women aged 40-59, had higher incidences of thoracic injuries (80% versus 43%) and pelvic fractures (29% versus 8%). There were also a greater mean number of visceral organ injuries per person and a significantly greater propensity for shock among older women. As a result, older women had lower survival rates (69% versus 84%) and longer average hospital stays (22 days versus 15 days). The results suggest that design features in future automobiles need to take into account the significant age- and sex-related anatomic and pathophysiologic differences. References are included.

AB - Recent research suggests that employee empowerment is related to a number of variables besides organizational structure and the use of teams. Examined a number of organizational context variables, obtained from 3 samples in 2 government agencies. Across samples a total of 16,460 employees and managers of the Federal Aviation Administration and another federal agency participated. Perceptions of empowerment were then predicted from these context variables. Results show that perception of communication is the strongest predictor of empowerment perceptions across samples and measures. In addition, the size of the communication slope estimate (β value) did not differ across the samples. The results support the contention that context factors besides teams and restructuring are related to empowerment.

AB - Twelve air traffic control specialists (ATCS) participated in an acoustic analysis of simulated ATC communications. Each ATCS worked light and heavy traffic density scenarios for 2 feeders and 1 final sector. Communications were audio recorded and transcribed. Speaking rate, pause frequency, and pause duration were generated from the selected utterances. ATCSs tended to pause more frequently and for greater duration under light workload. Hesitations in their speech may reflect a shift between a more cognitive 'thinking' response mode in light traffic situations where ATCSs know that they have more time to respond, and a more automatic mode which allows them to respond to the increased pace induced by higher traffic loads. Hesitation in speech may be a workload indicator.

AB - There is a popular belief in the aviation industry that retired pilots die at a younger age than their counterparts in the general population. If this is true, research into factors associated with this career would be of interest to the FAA as indicators of possible health factors to be monitored in the pilot population. A sample of 1494 pilots who retired at age 60 from a major U.S. airline between the study dates of April 1968 to July 1993 were surveyed. The Life Table Method was chosen as the most suitable approach to analyze the pattern of mortality for this data set. Comparisons were made with the U.S. general population of 60 year-old white males in 1980. A difference in life expectancy of more than 5 years longer was found for our sample of retired airline pilots. Half of the pilots in this sample retiring at age 60 were expected to live past 83.8 years of age, compared to 77.4 years for the general population of 60 year-old white males in 1980. The authors concluded that the question of lowered life expectancy for airline cockpit crews was not supported by the results of these data.

AB - A major shift is occurring in the population age distribution resulting in a growing number of older persons with an increasing demand for mobility. For a variety of reasons, meeting the present and future mobility needs of older persons will depend primarily on the automobile. This paper will discuss key issues related to ongoing and planned research sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to improve the mobility and safety of older drivers and pedestrians. The scope of FHWA research activities concerns aspects of highway design and operations that involve direct user interface. For example, geometric design and traffic control device standards explicitly consider quantifiable driver characteristics such as perception-reaction time or visual acuity. Ongoing research is addressing the extent to which existing traffic control device elements accommodate drivers with age-related diminished performance capabilities. Current work is testing older driver responses to brighter and larger signs with varying legend spacing and font characteristics in order to make recommended changes to existing highway signing standards. Older driver perception-reaction time is being evaluated in a variety of intersection, stopping, and decision sight distance situations. Studies are also underway to improve pavement markings and delineation systems to enhance their utility for older drivers. Driving simulation and field methods are being used to investigate vehicle maneuvers which cause difficulties for older drivers so that improvements can be made to highway design and operations. Future studies will determine the capabilities and limitations of older pedestrians, address the visibility problems of symbol signs and changeable message signs, and investigate all aspects of intersection design and operations in light of older driver and pedestrian capabilities.

AB - Reviews research dealing with safety issues of drivers with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Those in policy-related research are attempting to develop procedures to identify, screen, and appropriately regulate demented drivers who are at higher risk. A major concern is that, in attempting to remove drivers who are a risk to others and themselves, many safe older drivers may also be inadvertently removed. Alternative approaches to identifying and removing at-risk demented drivers are briefly reviewed, including the use of families and friends, social service agencies, and the health care community. Although significant progress has been made in understanding the issues surrounding driving by people with AD, there are still significant areas needing investigation before sound policy can be established in this area.

The performance of 121 Ss with NCV, 31 simple and 44 extreme anomalous trichromats, and 48 dichromats was compared on a battery of color-dependent ATCS tasks. Results show errors are rare among normal trichromats. Mean errors are significantly higher at every level of color vision deficiency. Approximately 6% of color deficient Ss (from simple anomalous trichromat) were able to perform ATC color tasks without error. All extreme anomalous trichromats and dichromats were prone to error on ATC tasks. Findings support the requirement of NCV in the initial medical screening of ATCS personnel.

These different kinds of change have been operationalized in terms of the well-known Alpha (a simple shift in assessment before and after the intervention). Beta (a shift in the respondent's metric with an accompanying change in distance anchors), and Gamma (a respondent's subjective redehnition of the construct) change typology. Researchers who use this typology have considered changes at state A (time 1) and state B (time 2) but have not examined the process involved lor Alpha, Beta, and Gamma change in moving from state A to state B. To move inside this black box, we develop a model of attitude and structure and examine the cognitive processes hypothesized to yield attitude structure changes corresponding to the Alpha. Beta, and Gamma typology. We develop testable research propositions and show how the model can help to guide future research and practical applications across a wide range of interventions.

The relationship between postmortem drug levels in the blood and various body tissues is currently not well understood. The goal of this project was to develop analytical methods to qualitate and quantitate drug levels in biological fluids and tissues. Three drugs, atenolol, alprazolam, and terfenadine, approved for use by aviation pilots, were selected as model drugs; male Sprague-Dawley rats were used as animal models. HPLC systems with fluorescence and UV detection were used. Atenolol and its internal standard, nadolol, were extracted from tissues using 1 M TCA. A CN column was used with mobile phase consisting of 13.29% ACN and 86.65% water, adjusted to pH 3.5 with o-phosphoric acid and detected at an excitation wavelength of 220/emission wavelength of 300 nm. Alprazolam and its internal standard, midazolam, were extracted from heart, kidney, brain, and liver b 1:1 mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate. Ether was used to extract alprazolam and midazolam from plasma. A C\IF/18\BS/ column was used, mobile phase consisting of 43.5% 0.05M ammonium phosphate at pH 6.5, 13% ACN and 43.5% MeOH. Detection was at a UV wavelength of 240 nm. Terfenadine and its internal standard, metoprolol, were extracted using ACN. A C\IF/8\BS/ column was used, with mobile phase consisting of 6.25% 0.1 M TEAA at pH 5, 33% ACN and 60.75% MeOH. Detection was at an excitation wavelength of 220 and emission wavelength of 280 nm. Standard curves were constructed from rat plasma, heart, kidney, brain, and liver spiked with drugs and their internal standard. Chromatographs of the three drugs extracted from these tissues indicate the analytical methods developed are suitable for postmortem analysis for atenolol, alprazolam, and terfenadine.

Accident rates at GCs are examined, and a Poisson process model of accident probability is developed with reference to the frequency of trains and cars at GCs. The Poisson model predicts maximal accident rates and is useful for evaluating the effectiveness of different GC devices in preventing accidents. The maximal accident rate concept is also used in applying SDT to a quantitative analysis of GC devices. The implications are examined of SDT analysis for various schemes to improve GC safety, the SDT model is contrasted with existing models of accident prediction, and areas of research are suggested. The performance is modeled of an ideal motorist who uses information concerning the distances of his/her vehicle and the train from the intersection to determine whether to cross the intersection or to stop. Visual search with and without auditory localization (train horn) is incorporated into the model.

Issue Publication Date: Dec, 1995. Copyright Statement: American Psychological Association. 1995. AB - The behavioral and psychological component of trauma is critical. It is noted that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration seeks to ensure that every citizen in the US is served by an organized and coordinated system of timely and effective emergency medical care. However, the field of emergency medical services is changing and these changes require new players and partners. States are focusing on inclusive systems of emergency medical care that encompass trauma care and injury prevention. Thus, behavioral scientists will play a greater role than ever before. An example is given of training for trauma intervention, in which a school of professional psychology operates the local hospital emergency room crisis service. Staffed by faculty and students, they triage, treat, or refer all mental health emergencies. A case is also made for more research on causation and prevention of accidental deaths and injury.

However, displaced forest dwelling and forest-dependent people, diminished wildlife and plant populations, damaged agricultural watersheds and fisheries, degraded air, and global climate change threaten long-term forest health and domestic well-being. A framework for an international law of forests is constructed from international agreements which address these problems, including the Forest Principles and other agreements signed at the 1992 U.N. Conference on Environment and Development. Improved methods and financial support are needed for forest restoration and conservation.

AB - Examples drawn from campaigns to reduce drunk driving and to increase the use of child safety seats, seat belts, and motorcycle helmets illustrate how education (both public information and more formalized education) can help catalyze other actions. Education by itself, however, has not generally resulted in significant changes in the behaviors targeted, but education of the public and advocacy groups has often helped enact necessary legislation. This sequence has frequently resulted in major behavioral changes. Even in such cases, however, when enforcement is inconsistent, public compliance frequently decreases. Education is an important 1st step in changing public behavior for better health.

The author reviews traditional studies of alcohol incidence in crashes, alcohol effects on driver performance and crash risk, profiles and behavioral characteristics of drinking drivers, and studies of drinking driver countermeasure efficacy. There is substantial evidence that alcohol increases crash risk for all drivers and that crash risk increases as a driver's blood alcohol content increases. Measures to reduce drinking and driving have successfully reduced crashes, though these measures likely have affected some drivers more than others. It is suggested that if drivers who drink ('normal,' 'high-risk,' and alcoholic drivers) didn't drink, some would crash anyway, but far fewer.

N2 - Identifies sociodemographic changes in the older population (aged 65 and over), and compares related changes in personal transportation use patterns between the 1983 and 1990 Nationwide Personal Transportation Study (NPTS). The 1990 NPTS is the latest in a series of longitudinal surveys started in 1969 and repeated in 1977, 1983, and 1990. Telephone interviews were conducted over a 12-month period with 21,869 households. Survey interviews collected information on basic demographic characteristics on each member of the household, as well as driver information, typical travel activities, accident experience, and data on all travel during the sample day. This report on travel by the elderly evaluates the demographic and licensing changes among elderly and middle-aged persons, noting their increased diversity, their growing suburbanization, and their near total reliance on automobiles for their transportation needs. In addition, changes in trip patterns and travel rates among the elderly between the 1983 and 1990 samples are analyzed, as are gender and racial differences. Findings show that the elderly in the 1990 sample were more dependent on automobile travel and less likely to use public transportation than was the case for the 1983 sample. Data also show that whites are substantially more dependent on the private car than are Hispanics, blacks, or other races, although all groups make more of their trips in a car than any other mode. Gender differences were also found; elderly men took 24 percent more person trips, traveled 19 percent more miles, and made 94 percent more vehicle trips than elderly women.

Turner was the administrator of the U.S. Federal Highway Administration who presided over the actual construction and management of the Interstate System (I-System.) It was his belief that teamwork was the most important element in creating that system. From an engineering view, Turner emphasized that planned access, which would provide cloverleafs, overpasses and underpasses, ramps and carefully designed interchanges to ensure swift, efficient and safe movement would be a better alternative than random access with its combinations of frequent intersecting side roads and business frontage. Turner's I-System consists of the best engineered and safest roads the world has ever known. Entirely divided highways, with a minimum of four lanes; with no intersections at grades; no stoplights; completely controlled access; with no sharp curves or steep grades.

N2 - Presents the results of the 1990 National Personal Transportation Survey (NPTS), including data on elderly drivers. The 1990 NPTS is the latest in a series of longitudinal surveys started in 1969 and repeated in 1977 and 1983. The primary objective of the survey was to collect trip-based data on the nature and characteristics of personal travel. Commercial and institutional travel were not part of the survey. Data on private vehicle and public transportation use are included. A stratified, two-stage cluster sample plan was used to find a representative sample of all persons aged 5 and older in the United States. Telephone interviews were conducted over a 12-month period with 21,869 households from the original sample of 26,172, producing an 84 percent response rate. Survey interviews collected information on basic demographic characteristics on each member of the household, as well as driver information, typical travel activities, accident experience, and data on all the travel during the sampled day. From 54,313 eligible household residents, 47,499 personal interviews were completed. The results are presented in two volumes, with volume 1 providing the description of the survey and survey variables, estimates of total travel, determinants of travel, and person trips and person miles of travel. Volume 2 includes the following topics: vehicle trips and vehicle miles of travel, journey-to-work and work-related trips, ride sharing and vehicle occupancy, characteristics of longer trips, commercial travel, and highway accidents. Data are presented in tables with brief summaries, often broken down by age and gender. Appendixes in volume 2 present details of the survey methodology.

The percentage of loss due to fatalities was found to differ greatly by harmful event type. Comprehensive costs were used to combine data on fatalities, injuries, and property-damage-only vehicles into a single economic measure of crash loss. Use of comprehensive costs can reduce distortions that may occur in analyses limited to fatal events. Large differences were identified in average injury costs by harmful event type, indicating the need to use specific harmful event injury costs in analyses whenever possible. Major differences found between first and most harmful events in ran-off-road crashes indicate a need for states to collect both data elements on their police accident report forms.

Not only was answering Michael's question the right thing to do, but it sounded like fun—a browse through the attic, so to speak. After I answered his letter, it occurred to me that this might be an interesting topic for Interfaces readers, as well. At Fred Murphy's suggestion, I contacted several other practitioners and offered them an opportunity to put in their two cents' worth. I think you will find their answers interesting. Michael's response to an early draft of this article is at the end.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. N2 - Presents project summaries for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) 1993 plan to address the traffic safety problems facing older drivers, vehicle occupants, and pedestrians. Previous research has shown that older drivers are overrepresented in crashes at intersections and during certain hours of the day and that most safety problems are concentrated among older drivers who are unaware of their difficulties or who cannot compensate for functional disabilities. In response to the continuing and growing older person traffic safety problem, the NHTSA, in cooperation with other government agencies, initiated efforts in problem identification, program development, and program evaluation to improve the safety of older drivers. The programs described in this report address a variety of topics, such as older drivers' intersection-negotiating skills, the causes of older driver intersection crashes, vehicle design practices that enhance older driver crash avoidance, training and information programs, evaluation of driver license re-examination requirements, and evaluation of medical and community-based appraisal of driving limitations. The estimated initiation and completion dates of each project are included.

AB - 125 workers in 2 military staff organizations ranked the extent to which they identified with their occupation and 4 organizational systems (e.g., immediate work unit, larger work unit). Data indicated that Ss reporting the highest levels of satisfaction with initial work assignment and fairness in the assignment of current work tasks expressed greater commitment to the organization. However, among Ss reporting lower levels of these reactions to work assignments, occupational identification had an effect on commitment level. Ss ranking their occupational identification highly expressed a greater commitment to the organization than those ranking their occupational identification at moderate or low levels. Results support the multiple commitment approach to the study of work commitment.

N2 - Presents the research agenda of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) addressing safety issues related to younger (aged 15-24) and older (aged 65 and older) drivers. For younger drivers, the NHTSA will develop programs, activities, and procedures to help build safe driving habits, and evaluations will be conducted to assess the impact of programs intended to reduce crashes, including provisional licensing and lower blood alcohol concentration limits for those under age 21. In the past, NHTSA worked with the American Association of Motor Administrators in developing guidelines for the states to use when dealing with driving problems that may be related to aging. Unfortunately, many of these efforts lacked detailed information on the difficulties caused by aging. In the future, the agency's efforts will focus on identifying and analyzing research data linking declining physical and mental capabilities of older individuals to their driving safety. Following these activities, NHTSA will recommend appropriate driving practices for persons with various conditions and develop information to assist them in making safe driving choices. Additionally, the agency will develop guidelines for families, medical practitioners, and others to identify those older individuals who have driving problems. NHTSA will also assess the use of improved technologies and vehicle crashworthiness characteristics. It is important to determine that technologies arising from Intelligence Vehicle & Highway Systems do not, in fact, overload the decision-making and informational capacities of older drivers. Charts and figures illustrate driving safety data, broken down among various age groups from 15 to 85 and older.

Kahn (1972) reported that men were more likely than women to distribute outcomes to individuals in direct proportion to their input. We evaluated potential gender differences among 12,979 personnel in 30 different organizational systems in (a) correlations between fairness and job satisfaction scores and (b) standardized group differences in the perceived amounts of pay and promotion fairness and expressed levels of facet and global job satisfaction. The fairness-satisfaction relationship was not higher for men, and there were no practical differences in fairness perceptions and job satisfaction between men and women.

AB - Explored how the addition of 7 yrs of later data affected the fit of a simple linear model of fatalities (S. Partyka, 1984) that was based on data up to 1982. Results show that the fit of the model was sensitive to the years that were included in the analysis. The updated model did not fit as well as its predecessor. Two possible explanations for the difference between the 2 sets of results are that changes in alcohol and seat belt use have changed the historical relationship between fatalities and the economy. Comparing the original results with the updated results suggests the dangers of projections, even from a good-fitting model, and the possibility that a model may fit well for reasons that are not well understood.

AB - Discusses the expected responses of institutions (e.g., police, courts, media, other organizations) that deal with drinking and driving to changes in blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limits. How these limits would be implemented would influence future driver behavior. Thus, information is needed on how the system would interpret and implement a new BAC limit, what messages would be sent to individual drivers, and how drivers would react in response to these messages. Four regional workshops were conducted involving the representative institutions. Results indicate that institutions would adopt a BAC limit of 0.08% with a minimum of problems, but that an even lower limit without changes in the system would create problems (e.g., legal challenges to the breath test evidence).

The objective is to identify those areas in current airport pavement analysis methodology that need to be substantially improved from the perspective of airport pavement design and management needs. The foundations of current design practice are examined with emphasis on the last twenty years of research and advancement in the area of pavement response prediction and cross section/layer thickness design. A review is presented of empirical methods of design for rigid and flexible pavement design, and quasi-mechanistic analyses that are based on layered-elastic theory or finite element methods. Weakness of current methods as applied to airport operational needs are discussed. A rational argument is presented for developing a unified pavement analysis and design procedure that can be used for pavements of any material type and that are based on mathematical formulations of the actual stress/strain response processes in airport pavement materials (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Deterrence requires the application of highly visible reinforcement, combined with swift and certain sanctions, seeking thus to modify the behavior of DWI offenders who have been apprehended as well as those who have not; treatment seeks to modify the behavior of only DWI offenders who have been apprehended. Educational programs can reduce DWI rearrest rates for both 1st offenders and those diagnosed as nonproblem drinkers; such programs are described as of little or no value for repeat offenders or for problem drinkers.

AB - Compared fatality rates in Toyota Cressidas (equipped with automatic seat belts) with those in the similar Nissan Maximas (equipped with 3-point manual belts), using the latest data from the Fatal Accident Reporting System (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1981–1987). Use of the Toyota belts has been estimated to be above 90% in 19 city survey results (US Department of Transportation, 1981–1987). The fatality-reducing effectiveness for the Toyota belts is estimated to be 40%, with an uncertainty of ±8%. The high use rates of the Toyota belts, combined with good effectiveness in preventing fatal injuries, indicates that they are likely to save as many or more lives than any other type of restraint system at actual use rates.

After World War II, the newly formed U.S. Air Force decided to worry about a gadget that had been called the V-2 during World War II and was then called the ballistic missile. In 1947 they gave a contract to the University of Michigan, under the code name Project Wizard, to develop a defense against submarine-launched V-2s. Academic science, in particular, has been constrained by an ideal of pure research, which in former days barred a scientist from extensive experimentation and empirical testing.

AB - Discusses alcohol-related traffic fatalities (ARTFs) in the US, and their recent decline. The proportion of drivers (Ds) involved in ARTFs decreased 17% from 1982 to 1987. The reduction was significant for teenaged Ds, females, and Ds in daytime crashes. There was little or no change for Ds aged 25–34 yrs, motorcycle Ds, pedestrians aged 20–64 yrs, and Ds in late-night crashes. Reasons for the reduction in alcohol appear to be (1) increased public awareness of the problem during that time period; (2) tougher laws and better enforcement of laws by state and local governments; (3) the raising of the drinking age to 21 yrs in most states; (4) other public and private programs to reduce drinking and driving; and (5) socioeconomic and demographic factors.

AB - Examined the situational factors (SFs) associated with youthful driving while intoxicated (DWI) and riding with an impaired driver (RWID) to determine the existence of consistent SFs and variation among SFs as a function of demographic variables. Data were collected from 120 9th-grade through college-aged DWI Ss and 121 8th-grade through college-aged RWID Ss. DWI and RWID seem to be largely a function of the role alcohol plays in the youth culture. When situationally determined, DWI and RWID appear to be controlled by a perceived need to get home or to get a passenger home. Implications of these results for prevention program planning are discussed.

A "best practice" system is one wherein coordination of resources and/or services has been achieved or is being actively pursued, and in which at least two barriers to coordination have been resolved. Seventeen "best practice" cases are described. Each case study first presents background information on the context in which the program operates, then focuses on relevant political, social, institutional, and geographic settings. The case then describes the program itself, along with other features considered to be noteworthy or unique. Programs described include public, county, and regional paratransit systems, private nonprofit systems, volunteer programs, brokerage models, and regional and state level coordination models. Also included are summary information on federal programs that contain a transportation component, and lists of contacts and the agency responses to identified barriers.

As this article illustrates, with an actual case as a sample, DRBs have had a high success rate for resolving all claims in the projects for which they have been used to date.

JTA is not merely a basis for the development of training, but also a foundation for all other aspects of the organization's management system. Accomplishment of JTA job tasks is in effect the out- come, comparable to profit in the private sector. It can be used to evaluate and to manage an organization. Because it is easier to describe and understand this concept through the use of an example, this article is based on an application of JTSM to the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) aviation safety inspection program called "Project SAFE."

AB - Assessed ocular nystagmus and motion experiences in 10 adult males exposed to both simple (angular acceleration) and complex (Coriolis) vestibular stimulation during approximately 55 hrs of sleep loss. During simple stimulation, sleep-deprived Ss, as compared with 10 matched controls, showed declines in slow phase and duration measures of nystagmus, but fast phase ocular frequency and measures of experienced turning resisted declines; subjective response latencies increased with sleep loss. Declines during rotation for ocular output and measures of perceived displacement during rightward head tilts ('climbing' sensation) were obtained for sleep deprived Ss. Ingestion of d-amphetamine sulfate significantly increased nystagmus and elevated measures of turning experiences for sleep deprived Ss but not controls.

Since 1970, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board has identified a low altitude encounter with wind shear as a cause or contributing factor in 18 accidents involving transport category airplanes. Most of these accidents were caused by a very specific kind of windshear known as a "microburst." An aircraft passing through a typical microburst at low altitude encounters a headwind, then the downdraft, and finally a tailwind. Microbursts are usually associated with thunderstorms. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is developing a terminal Doppler weather radar, 99 of which will be installed at airports in the next few years, specifically to detect windshear. Following an FAA contract to Boeing, pilots have been made widely aware of this phenomenon and have, in many cases, undergone training in simulators, which familiarizes them with the effect of microbursts and teaches them to make the nonintuitive response that will save the aircraft.

It is characteristic of a dissipative structure that one process may generate many different states. Conversely, similar states may occur in systems with different processes. A classification of systems that is based upon system state (morphology) is bound to complicated by these properties. In fact, rather than being representable as a simple tree, such a classification becomes a highly interconnected network, thus negating much of its usefulness as a clarifying tool. Because of the non-uniqueness of system state in evolutionary systems, a classification based upon process should be less ambiguous and thus more useful.

Their risk profiles, however, can be difficult to obtain. This paper obtains the risk profiles of low-probability high-consequence events where the final consequence results from a number of intermediate events. Called composite events, these events occur, for example, in accidents releasing hazardous material. The structure of composite events is described and risk profile equations developed, both on a per-event and per-annum basis. The many extremely low valued terms, especially in the tail of the risk profile, make calculation nontrivial. Accordingly, algorithm are developed to compute these equations. In addition, formulae for means and variances are obtained, and an illustrative example is provided.

The United States learned about OR from England in the early 1940s, and the rest of the world learned about OR largely from the United States in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It was then tried in nearly every country, with great variations in outcome. These variations were due in part to differences in social organization and history, and in part to luck. For example, in Finland OR/MS received quick acceptance from the early days because that country's principal industry, forestry and lumbering, was especially amenable to linear programming. In Italy there was a protracted unofficial debate about whether the quantitative approach of OR which was seen as "reductionist" and "ignored human factors" might be fascistic; at best it seemed not sufficiently humanistic, and it has not prospered there. In Yugoslavia a similar debate took place, more formally, with the final official decision being that OR was OK, and it has flourished.

SLD involved loss of one night's sleep. Tasks included monitoring of warning lights and meters, mental arithmetic, problem solving, target identification, and tracking. An interaction of SLD and altitude was enhanced by increasing workload. Sleep-deprived Ss performed lower in general; the greatest decrement in performance occurred at high altitude. The performance of older Ss was lower and more affected by increases in workload compared to younger Ss, but the detrimental effects of SLD or the combination of SLD and altitude did not interact with age.

The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 brought far-reaching changes in airline operations, the most significant of which has been the establishment of hub and spoke route networks. Three distinct airport capacity problems appear to exist which are physical limitations, environmental restrictions and restrictions that are imposed for political or economic reasons. The development of hub-and-spoke operations has influenced the structure of the airline industry. More than 10 million passengers were enplaned at the seven largest hubs and more than 5 million passengers were enplaned at the next twelve large hubs. Since large air carriers apparently do enjoy some market power, it is important to consider what actions a dominant carrier can take to influence a rival's actions. Strategic behavior is a complex concept with many dimensions and characteristics.

The assumption is made that the aircraft continue straight-line, constant-speed flight through the intersection ("blind flying"). Fortunately, in most cases pilots or air traffic controllers will detect the threat and a course change will be made, avoiding an actual conflict. The number of potential conflicts serves as a measure of relative risk, or as a measure of the workload placed on a separation assurance system.

Language: English AB - DUI Probation Follow-Up Project Life Activities Questionnaire (LAI) is designed to assess overt and potentially observable behavioral/life status activities. The LAI is part of a battery of questionnaire and interview instruments used to supplement direct traffic safety criteria (DUI recidivism and accident involvement) in evaluation of program effectiveness and changes in client profile measures to determine relationship and treatment outcome. The LAI is administered by an interviewer and contains multiple-choice items and rating scales. Included are items that assess respondents' residence situation, employment status, self-reported health status (e.g., health problems, recent hospitalizations, sleeping, eating habits), current alcohol use (e.g., length of time since last drink, perceptions of one's drinking problem at present, perceived ability to regulate or control the amount one drinks, longest period that the respondent has gone without alcohol in the past six months), alcohol-related drinking offenses or violations, relationship with spouse, participation in recreational activities, involvement in physical fights, and relationships with family and friends KW - Measures: Alcohol Drinking; Alcohol Drinking Attitudes; Alcohol Drinking Patterns; Alcohol Rehabilitation; Alcoholic Beverages; Behavior; Behavioral Assessment; Crime; Drinking Behavior; Drivers; Driving Behavior; Driving Under the Influence; Employment Status; Family Relations; Friendship; Health; Legal Arrest; Legal Processes; Life Style; Lifestyle; Marital Relations; Occupational Status; Physical Contact; Program Evaluation; Treatment Outcome; Treatment Outcomes KW - Sample: Employment UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=hpi&AN=HaPI-22747&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - hpi ER - TY - BOOK AU - National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (DOT), Washington, D.

It covers understanding the problems and solutions; deciding what can be done; planning and carrying out a project; providing adequate, accurate, and current technical information; and reaching additional sources of information. Chapter 1 provides community program ideas by describing what some people can do within their particular spheres of interest. Focus is on law enforcement personnel, health career providers, business community, educators, and civic groups. Chapter 2 provides guidelines for designing, planning, and conducting a program. Topics include exploring the local problem, getting together, training, developing the project, funding, publicity, evaluation, observation surveys of child restraint use, and safety seat loan programs. Chapter 3 offers the success stories of three child passenger safety advocacy groups, and chapter 4 describes what passenger safety advocates need to know about protecting children. This chapter covers how restraint systems protect people, safety standards for car safety seats, sources of safety seats, choosing and using car seats, demonstrating correct use, parents' questions, and when children ride with others. Appendixes include listings of print and media resources, information sources, and a glossary. (YLB) (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Also considered is the possibility that the practice of cargo reservation may become widespread.
This paper has presented estimates of the net welfare loss and income
transfers associated with a recent proposal for cargo preference. The methodology employed assumes circumstances favorable to United States producers and consumers, and, consequently, the estimated costs are likely to be significantly higher, especially if reserving a large share of oceanborne cargo for United States-flag ships further reduces competition among dry bulk carriers.

As a long-range Plan, it provides a sound basis for both the Executive and Legislative Branches to properly appraise funding needs. It retains the flexibility needed to accommodate future technology as it becomes applicable to individual subsystems and it becomes evident that the new technology with improve our return on investment. The Plan begins institutionalizing a process of regular and comprehensive assessments of FAA's information posture and needs. This Plan is the framework for the development, operation, and management of agency information resources and for the regular review of performance as well as resource and priority decisions. The FAA will follow through on this planning effort with the detailed requirements documentation, system specifications, cost benefit analyses, and the other actions sound system management requires.

The procedure differs from previous methods in that rather than first scheduling vehicles and then crews, it schedules vehicles and crews simultaneously. Several of the subproblems are solved as matching problems on graphs. A computational test of this procedure using a database from the Baltimore Metropolitan Transit Authority has produced solutions of lower cost than those used by the transit authority.

N2 - The third of a series of publications on transportation for the elderly and handicapped reflects a changing emphasis from system planning to implementation. Two major themes--accessibility to public transit and complete mobility for the elderly and handicapped--run through individual contributions, many of which discuss the efforts public transit authorities have made to accommodate needs of the elderly and handicapped. Other solutions involve special systems operated as an adjunct to public transportation by these authorities. There are also a number of descriptions of special systems which operate completely outside the local public transportation systems. Nearly one-third of the contributions deal with the problems of service coordination and various brokerage arrangements which facilitate this coordination; another one-third focus on issues of estimating demand for service and evaluating the impact of services on the lives of the target population. Two emerging issues are identified: insurance, and the potential effects of the labor protection provisions of the Urban Mass Transportation Act on program funding. Two successful training programs for bus operators are reported, and some practical suggestions are given for selecting special systems vehicles.

N2 - Identifies the characteristics of local transportation providers serving the elderly, explores the problems these providers face, and suggests some solutions. The analysis is based on the literature, on a telephone survey of 60 transportation providers, and on in-depth interviews with 20 of the 60 providers and the area agencies on aging funding them. The number of transportation projects more than doubled from mid-1974 to 1980, due in large part to Title III of the Older Americans Act. Problems encountered include funding, insurance, service, costs, energy, vehicles and maintenance, program evaluation, and technical assistance. A majority of the providers felt their budgets were not adequate and experienced problems involving funding continuity. The modified van was the most commonly used vehicle, but most providers reported maintenance problems and were dissatisfied with the vehicle design because of lack of interior space. Operating practices varied widely, due to lack of experience with specialized transportation services. The elderly were only minimally involved in service evaluation. Only about one-third of the providers had received technical assistance for their projects. The appendixes describe the major outputs from the surveys and contain a list of the interview sites and copies of the survey instruments. Bibliographical references are included.

AB - Five new experimental tests measuring aptitudes and skills that are considered important in air traffic work were administered to newly selected Air Traffic Control Specialist (ATCS) trainees on their 1st day of training at the Federal Aviation Administration Academy. The testing took place during a 21-mo period from 1976 to 1978 and involved 1,800 trainees. The 5 experimental tests and the 5 tests now used by the Office of Personnel Management for selecting ATCS trainees were correlated with the averaged laboratory scores from Academy training. These correlations were then employed in an iterative stepwise regression (stepdown procedure). The tests that made a significant contribution in predicting Academy scores were then used to form a composite, and the multiple correlation was computed for the old and new test batteries. The new composite demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the multiple correlation over the old battery. Some characteristics of the newer tests may have application for selection programs in other occupations.

N2 - Analysis of the needs of the elderly and handicapped pedestrian, conducted by the Pedestrian Research Laboratory of Technology for the Federal Highway Administration, led to the identification of three types of pedestrian accessibility failure -- a failure of elements, a failure of components, and system failure. This manual, concerned with the development of priority accessible networks, has been organized into a sequence of decision-making steps beginning with problem identification and ending with project implementation and evaluation. The procedures described in each step are conventional and reflect currently used planning techniques. The first part of the manual is devoted to a step-by-step description of the procedure for the planning of the accessible network. The structure and constituency of the group which guides the planning process, the advisory council, is described. Attention is directed to planning the accessible district and the accessible route and formulating the development plan. The second part of the manual provides the design details which will be used as a reference for recommended designs for the various elements of the system: walks and corridors; gates and doors; ramps; curbs, curb ramps, and curb cuts; crosswalks; lighting and illumination; signage and media cues; traffic signals; street furniture; refuge islands; parking places and passenger loading zones; steps and stairs; and handrails, railings, and barricades.

N2 - Various facets of urban transportation and policy measures designed to increase the mobility of disadvantaged groups are considered. Disadvantaged groups include poor, elderly, or handicapped persons who suffer from substandard mobility levels. Three primary concepts of equity in urban transportation coexist and compete for priority: fee for service; equality in service distribution; and distribution according to need. Elderly citizens rely more on transit and taxi travel than the general population, although the elderly do not account for a disproportionate share of transit and taxi patronage. Decreased travel in old age can be attributed to retirement from the labor force and deteriorating health. Income level also has an important effect on transportation use. Equity for poor, elderly, or handicapped persons is a significant objective of public policy in the transportation field. Transit subsidies and beneficiaries, and innovations in transportation for the disadvantaged (demand-responsive transit, fixed-route transit, and private ride sharing) are discussed. Notes and references are included.

N2 - Transportation systems for the elderly and handicapped in four cities and two counties in seven states are described. The Austin, Texas, Special Transit Service provides door-to-door demand-responsive transit service utilizing three city-owned vans and five minibuses operating seven days a week. Between 280 and 300 passengers used the system daily in 1978. The fare is 50 cents. Thirteen social service agencies also provide transportation. Pomona, California's Valley Senior Citizens and Handicapped Transportation Authority operates Get About Transportation. This is administered by Pomona Valley Community Services, Inc., which utilizes cab companies with specially trained drivers. The service interconnects with fixed-route accessible service. The Akron, Ohio, Special Citizens Area Transit utilizes 12 lift-equipped minibuses, and several cabs. The fare is fifteen cents. Chattanooga, Tennessee, Human Services Transportation Program operates with four large station wagons and ten vans. The Bridgeport, Connecticut, Coordinated System is a door-to-door demand-responsive transportation system consisting of two lift-equipped vans, four regular vans, and two station wagons. Participating city and towns own and maintain the vehicles. Average cost per passenger trip in fiscal years 1977-78 was $4.75. The Spokane, Washington, YMCA Motor Pool operates a door-to-door demand-responsive service using 24 to 30 vehicles. The Brockton, Massachusetts, Area Transit Authority operates a subscription and dial-a-ride paratransit service utilizing ten vans and two minibuses. The service costs $1.00 per trip. The San Mateo County, California, Redi-Wheels program provides door-to-door transit service utilizing 15 minibuses. Vehicles link up with lift-equipped buses. Funding sources for all cities are described. Forms and statistics tables for each are appended.

Short-run pricina and capacity management decisions must be optimized within the context' of the longer run decisions to expand productive capacity. In this paper, the time-staged capacity expansion problem is formulated as a dynamic programming problem. Each stage of the problem is decomposed into a series of short-run optimization problems ahat solve for an optimal set of prices and operational control policies. The pricina problem is one of determination of a peak-load responsibility. once schedule that includes future capacity costs. The operational control policies represent public policy decisions that allocate capacity to distinct categories of consumers.

N2 - The project objective was to determine both the nature and extent of legislative barriers and incentives to coordinated transportation services for the elderly and handicapped in the United States. Statutes and regulations governing Federal programs that provide most transportation services for these two groups were analyzed. Federal statutes selected for analysis included the elderly or handicapped among their client populations, were known to provide transportation to these groups, and were known to spend program funds on transportation for their client populations. On this basis, the following statutes were selected for study: (1) Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964, as amended; (2) Older Americans Act of 1965, as amended (Title III--State and Community Programs on Aging, including Part C, Nutrition Services for the Elderly); (3) Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (Title I--Vocational Rehabilitation); (4) Developmental Disabilities Services and Facilities Construction Act of 1970, as amended (Formula Grant Program); (5) Title XIX of the Social Security Act, Medicaid; (6) Title XX of the Social Security Act (Social Services for Individuals and Families); (7) Community Services Act of 1974, as amended (Title II--Community Action Program); and (8) Community Services Act of 1974, as amended (Title V--Head Start). Statutes and regulations for each program were analyzed in the context of funding requirements, planning requirements, and requirements concerning services. Highlights of the analysis for each component are presented.

N2 - In this second of a two-volume report, the nature and extent of legislative barriers and incentives to coordinated transportation services for the elderly and handicapped persons are examined. Included in the volume is a model billing and accounting system that could prove helpful to local agencies and organizations working to coordinate their transportation services. Attention in the model is directed to common administrative problems (and barriers to coordination) of accounting, allocation/billing, and certification of funding sources. Also provided is an analysis of Federal regulations pertaining to fiscal management procedures. Two basic coordination types are noted -- cost-sharing coordination and purchase-of-service coordination. The first type of coordination results when several local agencies decide to pool their transportation resources, coordinate services, and share the cost of delivering services. The second type of coordination results when several local agencies decide to pool their transportation resources and create a new, separate transportation provider. Financial and service information are required as input to the process of recording and allocating transportation costs.

N2 - In the first of a two-volume report, the intention is to analyze the statutes and regulations governing those Federal programs providing a major portion of transportation services to the elderly and handicapped, in order to identify incentives and barriers to coordinated transportation. Focus in the report's five sections is on statutory and regulatory analysis, Federal funding requirements, Federal planning requirements, Federal requirements regarding services, and Federal coordination requirements. These program components are interrelated. Traditionally, transportation services have been provided to the elderly and handicapped by health and social service agencies and organizations on an ad hoc, piecemeal, and uncoordinated basis. The result has been a duplication of effort, underutilization of services, and unusually high costs of service. The concept of coordination has emerged as a means of improving or expanding transportation services to the elderly and the handicapped, and it has gained acceptance at the policy-making level of the Federal Government. It is only recently that a definition of coordination has emerged that relates to the pooling of transportation resources and activities of several Social Service agencies or mass transit operations with social service transportation. Coordination took on new significance with 1970 amendments to the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964.

N2 - The provision of transportation to handicapped or elderly citizens in various localities is described, and the Urban Mass Transportation Administration's Service and Methods Demonstration Program is explained. Portland, Oregon's Tri-Met operates a special service for elderly and handicapped persons. California's Pomona Valley operates a door-to-door, demand-responsive transportation service, and San Antonio, Texas, provides a special demand-responsive service. Kinston, North Carolina, uses taxicabs for an affordable form of public transportation, KITE. In Spokane, Washington, the YMCA has formed a coordinated inter-agency motor pool. Denver, Colorado, provides regularly scheduled curb-to-curb fixed route services to subscribers. Ann Arbor, Michigan, operates a communitywide dial-a-ride system. San Diego, California, operates a locally funded, demand-responsive shared ride service. San Mateo County, California, contracts with a private firm to provide special transportation known as Red-Wheels. The Older Adults Transportation Service, Inc., in Missouri uses volunteers to manage its 100-van demand-responsive service. St. Louis, Missouri, has placed 157 full-size buses equipped with wheelchair lifts on 12 of the most heavily used fix route services. It is experimenting with six accessible minibuses. Atlanta, Georgia, has developed a fixed route special service based on trip patterns of handicapped persons; a separate services is provided for the elderly. Southern California Rapid Transit District (Los Angeles), Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (Philadelphia), and Metro Transit Agency (Dade County, Florida) have formed a consortium to purchase 530 transbuses with certain specifications. Boston, Massachusetts, provides blind persons with tactile maps. Pennsylvania has a statewide program to register the elderly and handicapped for reduced fares. The District of Columbia's Metrorail eliminates architectural barriers. Selected characteristics of special and regular services are noted in appendixes.

N2 - Specialized transportation services were offered to elderly, handicapped, and low-income residents of Lower Naugatuck Valley, Connecticut as of 1973. Valley Transit District (VTD) operated four types of service: contract service; dial-a-ride service; subscription service; and fixed route service. Twelve of 15 vehicles were in service daily. Billing was done except in fixed route services. Door-to-door services required VTD credit cards. HEW grants provided user-side subsidies until 1977. The target population of VTD included 8,500 elderly, 2,500 low-income, and 1,000 handicapped persons in a 75,000 valley population. Total operating costs for 1973-1977 were $1,128,000. Revenues were $549,000. Elderly users averaged three round trips weekly. At the end of the demonstration grant, VTD achieved operational status as a transit district. Significant impact was made on mobility of a small portion of the target population. Less impact was made on the general public in the large, fairly low density area of 56 square miles. Close to maximum effectiveness was achieved in servicing the elderly. Contract services to group activities were productive. The dial-a-ride service was unremunerative. Fixed route service was the least effective. Productivity of the current subscription service was near 25 percent.

N2 - This manual explains how to initiate, plan, operate, manage, and coordinate specialized transportation programs such as paratransit, elderly, and handicapped transportation; social services transportation; and rural transportation. The information is based on evaluations of specialized transportation systems in Federal region IV. The problem of improving transportation services is approached with the view that coordinated systems should include aspects of, or at least be coordinated with, local public transportation. The manual is divided into five phases: (1) starting (recognizing the problems, general background analysis, establishing planning goals, framework for action); (2) advance planning (detailed investigation, refining objectives and priorities, pre-operations planning, feasibility analysis); (3) operations planning and programming (planning for operations development, operations design and scheduling, capital purchases, financial programs); (4) implementation and development (staffing and contracting, acquiring equipment and facilities, starting operations, promoting system development, services expansion and integration); and (5) auditing, reporting, and evaluation (internal audit, data collection and reporting, evaluation and planning). Technical supplements provide descriptions of methodology. The manual is designed for use by both specialized and comprehensive transportation service providers.

N2 - A selection of papers presented at the December 1977 Annual Conference on Transportation for the Elderly and Handicapped, sponsored by the Multidisciplinary Center on Gerontology and the Department of Urban and Regional Planning at Florida State University, is provided. The first eight papers provide an overview of transportation programs and problems. Papers cover the following topics: legislative perspectives on Federal actions and national developments; the effect of the Administration on Aging's interagency agreement strategy; policy issues regarding transportation for the handicapped; barriers to transportation coordination; implementing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; barrier-free transportation; and a disabled person's view of barrier-free transportation. The second group of papers analyzes methods and models for planning and implementation. Topics include: planning methodology for Dayton (OH) elderly and handicapped transportation; models for coordinating and consolidating transportation programs; organizational models for coordinating agency transportation services; assessing transportation needs with a low-cost survey technique; assessing transportation needs for medical purposes in northwestern Indiana; project design for a coordinated paratransit service; the need for technical assistance; and an evaluation package for specialized transportation services. Thirdly, 14 case studies of both urban and rural State and local programs are supplied. The final section presents four papers on equipment selection, driver training, and passenger assistance techniques.

N1 - Accession Number: 2785. N2 - Fixed route, special vehicle, subscription bus service for the severely handicapped was initiated in May 1977 by the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority. The special vehicle, or L-Bus, service began with one bus operating 3 daily routes and over the first year grew to seven buses operating 27 daily and 2 weekly routes. Ridership increased from 41 to 270 passenger trips a week. Seventeen buses have been retrofitted with wheelchair lifts; most have four wheelchair positions and seventeen seats. The lift has performed well, but wheelchair riders have had difficulty using it unassisted, especially when boarding. The lift manufacturer has improved the design so that many more passengers will be able to board the bus unaided. L-Bus service has been expensive to operate: net cost per passenger trip in fiscal year 1977 was $15.95. Approximately $3.40 of this results from the policy decision to garage all the L-Buses at one location. Management and support costs have been substantial. Operating costs are expected to drop sharply by fiscal year 1979. A major difficulty is the scattered character of trip requests in space and time. This has resulted in new routes being added very slowly, with most routes carrying near the minimum stipulated number of passengers (four). L-Bus has made possible only a few new trips; evidently most trips were previously made by other means. Users appreciate the independence that L-Bus service gives them, but many have expressed a desire for demand-responsive service and less stringent eligibility criteria.

N2 - This report covers the first year of Portland's 2-year LIFT project, which provides curb to curb transportation service to eligible handicapped and elderly clients on an advance reservation basis. The Portland regional transit authority operates 15 lift-equipped buses, supplemented by taxi service provided by local social service agencies. Fares are three dollars per trip for agency-affiliated passengers (paid by agency) and fifty cents for eligible private passengers (paid by passenger). In its initial year, LIFT experienced gradual but steady growth in client registration and trips provided. Of the 4,300 persons registered, about one-quarter use LIFT during a given month. The 4,300 registered persons represent 20 percent of the transportation-handicapped people in Portland; use by wheelchair and escort-assisted populations is significantly higher. LIFT has not penetrated the agency market to the extent anticipated. The system has been delivering approximately 325 trips a day; 16 percent serve wheelchair users. Average LIFT trip cost is $8.92, whereas the average cost for the supplementary taxi service is $6.77. Most clients and agencies are generally pleased, but there is some dissatisfaction, especially related to scheduling and reliability problems. LIFT has raised public awareness of the needs of the transportation-handicapped and has demonstrated public commitment to meeting these needs. Program evaluation instruments are appended.

Stereoscopic depth was reported for the identical and dichoptic half-images with intermediate contrast dichopticity although attenuated depth estimates arose from the latter patterns. Binocular rivalry rather than depth was reported for the disparate patterns that carried luminance and extreme contrast dichopticities. Results indicate that disparity information is modified by accentuated dichoptic patterns.

AB - Describes a device that provides a relatively inexpensive means of assessing a number of perceptual and human factors parameters in the night approach to landing situation. A technique for modeling airport runway lighting is detailed along with electromechanical and optical systems for precise control of simulated approach speed, model slant, and direction in the visual field of the simulated radial approach axis. The realism of this display is enhanced by preservation of the natural relations of size and brightness of simulated runway lights to distance. Data are summarized from tests of the apparatus.

AB - The influence of 34 and 55 hrs of sleep deprivation on scores derived from manually tracking the localizer needle on an aircraft instrument was assessed in 2 experiments under both static (no motion) and dynamic (whole-body angular acceleration) laboratory conditions. In each study, 20 21–30 yr old men, equally divided into control and sleep-deprived groups, were tested in an enclosed rotator, in darkness with the exception of the illuminated tracking display. Significant decrements in dynamic performance were uniformly obtained after 24 hrs and more of sleep loss. Static scores were less consistently impaired. Administration of d-amphetamine after 55 hrs of sleep loss reduced error for both static and dynamic tracking; although performance at both tasks remained poorer for sleep-deprived Ss, their static tracking scores did not differ significantly from controls 2 hrs after drug ingestion. Results indicate clear performance impairment for an aviation-related task after 1 night without sleep. Impairment is generally greater with increasing amounts of sleep loss and is more pervasive in motion environments.

N2 - The implementation and early operation of a pilot program of fixed route, wheelchair accessible bus service provided by the San Diego Transit Corporation (SDTC) are described. Five transit coaches were retrofitted with wheelchair lifts; four of the buses provide approximately hourly service on two heavily patronized routes of the SDTC system and the fifth is a spare. Relatively few mechanical problems with lift operation have been encountered, but small design changes have been made to improve the lifts' operational performance and usability. Operational and financial impacts of the wheelchair service include the costs of retrofitting and of added maintenance for the lifts, and the reduction of seating capacity due to wheelchair tie-down positions. Initial utilization of the service was low due to lack of advertising, competition from other services, and late delivery of some vehicles. Although the handicapped and elderly communities are pleased that a start has been made in service provision, they recognize the limitations of the service. A fixed budget has limited the amount of lift bus service that SDTC can provide. SDTC views the service as a pilot project. Appended are responses to a dial-a-ride passenger survey and newspaper articles about the service.

N1 - Accession Number: 2782. Note: Funded by U.S. Department of Transportation, Transportation Systems Center. N2 - Six examples of subsidized taxi systems serving elderly and handicapped individuals in the San Francisco Bay Area are examined. The program locations are San Leandro, Santa Clara County, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Lafayette, and Fremont. All of the programs were designed to deliver subsidized taxi service at a reasonable cost to target groups residing within the program areas. In most instances, the passengers purchase coupons or scrip at discounted prices to pay for the taxi services. The taxi companies then bill the program on a biweekly or monthly basis. All of the six programs are experiencing rising client enrollments and ridership volumes. Details presented include program costs, service levels, administrative procedures, and perceptions on the part of all parties involved. All of the programs require residency, and all serve senior citizens variously defined as 60 or older, 62 or older, or 65 or older. All of the programs allow passengers to share rides for the price of one fare on an informal basis. Subsidized taxi service appears to be an economically viable mode of providing transportation to elderly and handicapped people. Taxi operators appear ready and willing to participate in arrangements with local governments, social service agencies, and other subsidizers in order to provide taxi service to the elderly and to handicapped persons. Appendixes present documentation for each program location.

Nine specific factors are listed, encompassing perceptions, reactions, and interreactions of both speaker and listener: A model is developed to depict this interactive situation. Speech interference in the model involves a whole block of contributing factors reflecting reduction in information and the total dynamics of human behavior in a speech communication situation. The presentation of the model is prefaced by tutorial material on the acoustics of speech, masking theory, speech perception, and traditional methods of assessing speech interference, primarily the articulation index and the speech interference level.

The discussion highlights research and planning in transportation for the elderly and handicapped. The overview includes a general introductory text on transportation, along with a comprehensive state-of-the-art study of transportation and older Americans. The majority of selections categorized under needs focus on considerations in the provision of transportation service and on transportation needs of the elderly and handicapped as drivers and pedestrians. Transportation programs serving the elderly and handicapped are described in program selections. The predominant transportation program for the elderly and handicapped is area-wide special transportation service. The concentration in planning selections is primarily on the design of transportation services for the elderly and handicapped. Subjects include management, demand, system costs, and accessibility design criteria. Included in the policy section are works which examine legislative, regulatory, and institutional aspects of transportation for the elderly and handicapped.

The national transportation plan was to be published this year. It was to cover both domestic and U.S. international transportation at least through the end of the decade. A concept development team was established to figure out how such a plan could be developed. This team recommended and decided that a small staff in the Office of the Secretary be established to orchestrate the development, but that the preponderance of the analytic and design work be done by the Operating Administrations of the Department. Subsequently, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Maritime Administration of the Department of Commerce also assisted with the marine part of the plan. Early in the development process, it was decided that even though the plan was to cover all transportation, different levels of transportation would have to be handled in different ways.

N2 - Accident records of general aviation pilots over the age of 60 years are analyzed. The number of older individuals holding pilot licenses is increasing: in 1965 2.2 percent of all pilots, or 9,826 individuals, were over 60. Of the total of 5,134 accidents experienced by all pilots over 60 were involved in 108 of 2.1 percent. The occurrence of accidents appears to be independent of pilots' certification level and age group. Excluding student pilots, the 60 and over age group is comparable to the 30 to 44 year age group, safer than the 16 to 29 age group, and less safe than the 45 to 59 age group. Over one-half of the accidents recorded by the older pilots occurred during landing. A total of four fatal accidents were recorded by older pilots during the year 1965.

This shift in orientation, he says, might improve the relationship between the information specialist and the reporter who comes to him in search of information but is wary of becoming a "dumping ground" for publicity material. But the reporter, too, should not expect the information officer to do his reporting for him. Sometimes members of the media will have to develop their own sources within an agency in addition to asking for guidance from the information office. "We need each other," concludes David H. Brown, special assistant to the Public Printer of the United States.

Controlled delays were interposed between output commands and the resulting outputs, which were via typewriter, cathode-ray tube, or line printer; other commands were executed promptly and without reply. The mean delay was 1, 4, 16, or 64 sec, with individual delays varying widely and unpredictably about the mean. Data on 9 problems per delay per Ss showed that at longer delays the rate at which commands were given decreased, especially the rate of output commands, and that the problems were solved with fewer outputs in about the same time. With 2 Ss, there was a marked effect of delay on the relative frequency of use of the 3 output devices.

AB - Presents a causal model, from a human factors viewpoint, which is based on a cause and effect relationship: the 'effect' being the primary failure or behavior which led directly to the collision situation; the 'cause' being the reasons for the failure or behavior. Effects are described as information processing failures of 4 types: perception, comprehension, decision, and action failures. The reasons for these information processing failures are categorized as (a) physical or physiological failures, (b) driver conditions or states, (c) experience or exposure factors, (d) conflicting behaviors or preoccupation, and (e) risk-taking behaviors. A causal reporting system for utilization by accident research groups is discussed in terms of primary or principal causes, severity-increasing factors, and relevant conditions. Two recent studies which used similar causal systems are described, and findings from them are presented. A discussion of the possible benefits of such a system as results emerge is related to driver education and training techniques.

The formats were print-only, pictorial-only, pictorial-related print, print-related pictorial, pictorial-redundant print, and print-redundant pictorial. Results show pictorial information important for speed but print information necessary for accuracy. Comprehension of instructions on all 3 tasks was most efficient with the pictorial-related print and pictorial-redundant print formats but could not be shown to be simply a function of number of visual information channels used or the degree of redundancy between channels. The type of information displayed in the visual channels was found to be important.

The three basic dimensions of the cyclic properties of the models are examined. The results strongly suggest that for the industries studied and possibly other industries, the P-I process exerts a strongly stabilizing effect. Evidence is found for increased stabilization over time attributable to the reduction in certain underlying costs, or at least in the firm's apparent responsiveness to those costs.

In addition, in at least one such use, it is shown that the method does not discriminate against minorities. Longitudinal studies clearly show that the assessment process can be a definite improvement over other means of identifying supervisory potential at the lower levels. The extension of the assessment center process to the selection of upward mobility candidates was apparently well-founded. It appears that supervisory ratings should be given very little weight in such selection processes other than perhaps to measure dependability or loyalty factors. Furthermore, it may well be worthwhile to conduct a controlled study of the conventional systems of performance evaluation in which supervisors individually fill out forms to assess job performance without training in objective observation and standardized rating. Accurate performance evaluation is crucial to employee motivation and fair promotion systems. The intuitive assumption that a supervisor is in a position to evaluate employee performance with at least some accuracy may be quite wrong. Instead, completion of performance ratings through some system such as a trained panel of supervisors might be much more fair and accurate.

N2 - An analysis of transportation concerns expressed by consumers at 54 public hearings held from 1971-1974 is presented. The hearings were held in 34 cities and towns in 21 states, encompassing all ten Department of Transportation regions. The purpose was to determine the needs, concerns, and problems of transportation consumers. This report analyzes the testimony presented and 1,280 individual responses to a 29-item questionnaire circulated at the hearings. The focus of many of the comments was on the desire for a balanced transportation system with greater emphasis on convenient, efficient, and economical mass transportation and reduced emphasis on automobile travel and highway construction. The elderly and the handicapped, many representing local or national groups, were vocal participants at the hearings. Frequent suggestions were made for flexible transportation system, such as Dial-a-Ride, and vans and buses for the elderly and the handicapped. The report is organized into sections dealing with: (1) general policy subjects; (2) special consumer concerns which cross modal lines; and (3) subjects applicable to specific modes of transportation. Each section includes a narrative summary of consumer comments and suggestions, highlights of testimony, summary of questionnaire responses to the specific subject, and a tabulation (where useful) of consumer problems and suggestions by issue and subject. Supporting data are presented in five appendixes.

Capital grant programs of the Federal Government have provided a further impetus to this desire for the introduction of capital-intensive transit systems. One argument presented for favoring the introduction of a rail system or line rather than a bus-only transit system or line is that the rail system will be less labor One argument presented for favoring the introduction of a rail system or line rather than a bus-only transit system or line is that the rail system will be less labor.

Miss rates, false alarm rates, and correlations with a daytime and nighttime practical test of the ability of Ss to discriminate aviation signal red, white, and green flashes from a signal light gun were calculated. Color-defective Ss identified light gun flashes better at night than during the day. The Farnsworth Lantern, the SAM Color Threshold Tester, the 2 sets of A-O Plates, and the Dvorine Plates were among the best predictors of performance on the practical test; the Titmus Plate was the poorest predictor.

AB - Reports a separate study performed as part of a major accident investigation project to test the hypotheses that (a) drivers of vehicles involved in investigated accidents had less driving experience than the general driving population and (b) accident-involved drivers were less familiar with their vehicles than the general driving population. A Kolmogorov-Smirnov one-tail test was employed to evaluate the differences in the distributions of driver experience and vehicle familiarity between an accident sample of 802 drivers involved in 434 accidents and a control sample of 400 drivers selected from the general population. Results indicate that drivers involved in the investigated accidents had less driving experience in general and less driving experience with the accident vehicles than drivers in the general population (p < .01).

In order to evolve new procedures, and eventually a fully automatic system, it is desirable to have a means of calculating the collision probability for any prescribed flight paths. This paper extends the statistical-probabilistic method of collision probability calculation, which has been limited to parallel, straight line flight paths, to arbitrary flight paths and vehicle shapes. The general formula is specialized to the cases of large relative velocity, nonzero relative velocity, zero relative velocity, and spherical collision surface. The formulas are applied to independent curved landing approaches to parallel runways.

Ten female subjects in two age groups (20-35 and 50-65) were tested indoors on each of 6 days. Fighter aircraft flying at various heights over the test sight produced booms with outdoor overpressures ranging from 60-640 N/m2. The number of booms extended from 5 to 13 per day. Subjects performed an arm-hand steadiness task. Results indicated that outdoor overpressures ranging from 70-120 N/m2 produced reflective arm-hand movements in about 10 percent of the subjects. Booms of 300 N/m2 and greater produced responses in about 75 percent of the subjects. Between these extremes of overpressure, there was the suggestion of a critical overpressure range in which an abrupt increase in startle response occurred. In all aspects of the startle response studied, older subjects were less responsive than the younger ones. There was some evidence of response habituation to low and moderately intense booms, but not to high intensity booms. Tables, charts, and references are included.

AB - Determined the effects of variability independent of mean probability and cost effects. 12 male and 12 female undergraduates earned money at a rate proportional to the size of a bar of light they controlled, and were penalized a variable charge when the bar exceeded marked limits. High variability in these costs produced more conservative control even though the optimal bar length remained constant, and females were even less variable and more conservative (less optimal in their responding) than males. Results suggest that dynamic decision-making behavior may be affected by variables not specified by maximization-of-expected-value models.

N2 - The interrelationships of age, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Control Specialist (ATCS) experience, and ratings of job performance were investigated in a 1973 study of journeymen ATCS's engaged in Terminal Air Traffic Control at several high-traffic-density airports. Ratings of job performance, background information, and other data were collected in conjunction with a study which included an assessment of the controller's attitudes and motivations regarding their work and job environment. Significant inverse relationships were found between job ratings and both chronological age and tenure in FAA ATC work. A comparative analysis of data for dichotomized groups aged 41 and older and 40 and younger indicated that: the younger subjects of every experience level tended to receive higher evaluations than those over 40 years old; and the greater mean difference in performance ratings pertained to the dichotomized age groups having over 10 years experience. A regression analysis indicated that, when the variance of age was theoretically nullified, experience correlated only negligibly with performance. Results also suggested that ATCS proficiency is more apt to decline as a result of factors associated with aging than as consequences of presumed effects stemming from lengthy ATC experience.

AB - Summarizes the results of a series of studies indicating that alcohol (1.25-2.5 ml of 100-proof vodka per kg. of body weight) significantly depresses vestibular nystagmus in darkness, and has a slightly depressive effect on rotation-induced turning sensations. However, with visual fixation permitted during rotation (or during caloric irrigations) alcohol interferes with the visual control of vestibular eye movements and results in increased nystagmus and blurring of vision. Based on the latter finding, tracking performance during rotation was studied; alcohol consistently interfered with performance during angular accelerations but had no significant effect on tracking scores in the absence of motion; a blood alcohol level of only .027% was sufficient to induce the increase in performance error during motion. In a comparison of vodka and bourbon (2.5 ml/kg of body weight), no differences were noted between the 2 beverages in measures of Coriolis nystagmus (induced by head movements during rotation in the dark), Coriolis sensations, or positional alcohol nystagmus.

Deregulation of the freight market is being emerged as a means of restoring health to the railroad industry and as a means of stimulating competition for the benefit of shippers. Extremely large, long, low-value shipments are traffic for which the railroads have a distinct comparative advantage, shipments whose character is of the opposite extremes are secured to trucking. Between these extremes there lies a middle range of shipments, constituting the competitive interface between the modes. As neither mode has a distinct advantage in winning the traffic of this interface, such traffic most enjoys the benefits of intermodal competition. The operating assumption of the paper is that the presence or absence of intermodal competition for a particular traffic is revealed by the observed division of that traffic among the modes. Three dimensions of a shipment are particularly critical in determining for which mode that shipment is suited. They are length of haul, shipment size, and commodity. initially these dimensions will be examined one at a time, identifying that length of the spectrum in which traffic is competitive and those lengths in which it is non-competitive.

AB - Examined the performance of 50 male undergraduates on the Stroop Color-Word Test (a suggested measure of distraction susceptibility) in relation to auditory distraction on a random generation task. Although there was a significant decrease in randomness as a result of auditory distraction, the correlation between change in randomness and amount of color-word interference was nonsignificant. The Stroop test may thus measure a restricted type of perceptual interference essentially unrelated to a more general ability to maintain concentration in the presence of competing (distracting) stimuli.

Data were obtained from aeromedical certification records in January 1971. The distribution of resting blood pressure, resting heart rate, and the 400 pathology code prevalence were compiled in age versus Framingham relative weight index (FRWI) tables. In accordance with the FHS, obesity was defined as a minimum FRWI of 120.0 percent. Substantiating earlier findings, all parameters generally increased with age and obesity. The findings are directly relevant to the mass aeromedical screening, early detection, susceptibility reversal, and preventive aspects of CHD. References are included.

N2 - The impact of sonic booms which occur during sleep upon psychological distress was investigated. An 80-item inventory, the Composite Mood Adjective Checklist (CMACL), assessed mood states. Eight participants in three different age groups (young adults 21 to 26 years old, middle aged 40 to 45 years old, and elderly 60 to 72 years old) were subjected to simulated sonic booms during sleep. The experiment began with a 5-day acclimation period, followed by a 9-day exposure period and a 4-day recovery period. The CMACL was administered before and after each daily sleep session. Low-intensity sonic booms had little impact upon sleep quality, as indicated by changes in affect states. The results conform to other findings concerning the relationship of noise-disturbed sleep and postsleep behavior. Mean mood factor scores for each age group during the experimental period are displayed, and significant results from analyses of variance for an overall index of mood factors are appended.

This symposium originated out of an effort by the National Capital Area Chapter of American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) to have a better understanding of issues and problems associated with citizen involvement and participation. A local conference on citizen participation was held in April 1970 and a chapter-sponsored study/action group on citizen participation evolved from that conference. Contents of this symposium vary deliberately from the normal Public Administration Review symposium structure. It is the opinion of this symposium editor and contributors to this symposium that more attention should be focused on specific issues that concern public administrators. Papers and comments on papers are designed to provoke an awareness of the hard issues surrounding the topic of citizen participation. The policy recommendation section is included in order to encourage an active and enlightened professional debate on citizen participation. This symposium is viewed as the catalyst to that debate and ultimately to an ASPA policy position on the "proper" role of citizen participation in public administration.

This data provides height and weight, age, resting systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DBP), and resting heart rate (HR). Each factor was compared to the Framingham Relative Weight Index (FRWI). Tabulations of mean SBP and mean DBP versus age and FRWI are offered. Findings support earlier research regarding increased susceptibility to CHD with age and obesity in the ATC population. The highest susceptibility to CHD occurred in the combined old and obese population. HR also increased with age and obesity. The overall results demonstrate the utility of using age versus FRWI tables of SBP, DBP, and HR for screening CHD among ATC personnel. References and abstracts of research are included.

Alcohol suppressed the nystagmic response to caloric irrigations in total darkness. However, when visual fixation was permitted, a high-frequency, low-amplitude caloric nystagmus was obtained. This latter response was due to the suppression, by alcohol, of the visual fixation system (which would normally inhibit the nystagmus). Visual inhibition was also evident in the suppression of optokinetic nystagmus by alcohol. 'Vertigo' responses to caloric irrigations were minimally affected in darkness by alcohol ingestion; however, blurring of vision was consistently reported when visual fixation was permitted.

N2 - When given a choice of alternative headlight systems ranging from low level to high level glare, automobile drivers aged 18-64 were asked to determine which system they were willing to pay for in terms of night driving comfort. This study attempted to place a monetary value on differences in comfort and to make a cost-benefit analysis. Results show that older drivers (47-64 years) would prefer low glare headlights even when the high glare system was free; younger drivers (18-28 years), who were less affected by the glare, were not as willing to pay for a low glare system. It was suggested that willingness to pay for increased comfort in driving might relate to the value that was placed on money by the two age groups. A questionnaire showed that initially, younger drivers were willing to pay 50-100 percent more for an anti-glare headlighting system than was the older group. A post-driving questionnaire showed that the younger group was willing to pay only half as much than they had previously indicated. The older group was willing to pay nearly as much as they had indicated earlier. Drivers appeared willing to pay what a polarized system would cost, with its added comfort and superior visibility.

Tests, conducted 1-10 hr. after drinking, were in total darkness with the exception of the illuminated visual display. Static tracking errors for alcohol Ss were significantly higher than those of controls only at the 4-hr. session. However, alcohol Ss made significantly more dynamic tracking errors during the 1-, 2-, and 4-hr. sessions and, concomitantly, had significantly more nystagmic eye movements and higher rates of slow phase eye velocity than did controls. Although eye-hand coordination may show little or no impairment following alcohol ingestion in static situations, it may be seriously degraded during motion.

A comparison is made with conventional (CTOL) aircraft as tactical fighters in a future NATO environment. The conditions under which VSTOL and CTOL aircraft can be considered to be competitive systems are carefully described. A model yielding the "probability of completing n successive missions" is used as a measure of combat effectiveness. A cost model was constructed to reflect the resource impact of the same variables or alternatives that affect the measure of effectiveness. This integrated format is a necessary condition for the selection of least-cost designs capable of providing a given level of mission performance. A graphical summary of such a format is provided.

Rotation-induced ocular nystagmus in darkness was reduced by alcohol. In the light, a brisk nystagmus was obtained after drinking; there was little or no response prior to drinking. The increased response in the light is attributed to suppression by alcohol of visual fixation ability and not to a direct action on the vestibular system. In support of this finding, turning sensations during rotation showed only slight declines following alcohol ingestion. (27 ref.)

N2 - The interrelationship of chronological age, aptitude measures, and training performance scores was investigated in a sample of 710 men who entered air traffic control training at the Federal Aviation Administration Academy from November 1968 through March 1970. Subjects were from 21 to 52 years old; less than 12 percent were over 40. Most subjects were former military controllers who had been exempted from a qualifying aptitude test and who entered the program at higher than normal pay grades. The aptitude measures tested highly speeded arithmetic skill, pattern discrimination, following oral directions, and abstract reasoning. Some subjects received additional intelligence, comprehension, and perception tests. Age was negatively correlated with 21 of the 22 aptitude measures and with training course grades. Subjects over age 34 had significantly lower performance means than did younger subjects, and their attrition rate for the course was three times that of younger subjects. Beyond age 40 the age-related decrements were more pronounced. It is suggested that a revised aptitude test battery that would screen from eligibility a large proportion of applicants over 40 years old be formulated. References are provided.

Aircraft movements were decomposed into scheduled and nonscheduled operations. The former were compared with the scheduled arrival and departure limes as given in the International Airline Guide. An analysis of data for three Saturdays over the 24-hour day showed that actual gate requirements correspond closely to scheduled requirements. The average variance to mean ratio for number of gates occupied at corresponding times on the three days was about 0.14 (if arrivals and departures were completely random, this would have a value of 1). A similar analysis for number of gates occupied by nonscheduled aircraft agreed very well with a Poisson distribution.

The national airspace system program office has been established within the federal aviation administration with the authority and resources necessary to execute this program. The radar system used today in twenty air route traffic control centers is described. Features of the radar controller console and alphanumeric keyboard are shown. For the national air control network, every known technique for problem-solving on a multidisciplinary basis is being employed or considered. One of the most frequently used to date is simulation or modeling. The results of these simulation efforts are of limited value since large numbers of people are a part of the system being simulated and people cannot be adequately simulated.

An economic model which is expected to play an important role in the Departmental program for the analysis and forecast of the supply and demand for transportation is the Leonef System of Interindustry Economics--commonly called input-output analysis. Input-output models provide the basis for a systems approach to economic analysis. They relate activity in any part of the economic system to activity in every other part of the system. In much simplified term, an input-output system consists of a set of three basic tables or matrices which divide the economic system into any number of industries or sectors that is desired for which available data will support. The basic table, or the transactions matrix, shows the value of the output of each industry which has been used during the year by each of the producing industries and the value of output sold to the components of final demand. In this manner the outputs of all industries are shown as inputs to other industries and to final demand and the total output of any industry is equal to its total input.

N2 - The Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Aviation Medicine is concerned with the health and safety of over 80,000,000 aircraft passengers, about 500,000 active civilian pilots, and other civil aviation personnel. Included among the program's tasks are the following: establishing the standards of medical fitness for pilots, air traffic controllers, and other personnel connected with civil aviation; and providing a certification program. Attention in this discussion is directed to medical certification, medical standards, aeromedical research, medical investigation of aircraft accidents, aeromedical education, occupational health, regional medical activities, and future plans. Private practicing physicians represent the key element of the program for periodic medical examinations and issuance of medical certificates to pilots. These physicians are the 6,000 designated Aviation Medical Examiners (AME's). Basically, any qualified physician may apply for designation as an AME. Each AME is required to attend a 3 day seminar every 5 years. Varied levels of medical standards have been established, applicable to the three categories of pilots and classified according to level of pilot responsibility. Medical research is directed at eliminating, as much as possible, the human factors responsible for accidents and developing means by which persons involved in accidents can survive or be protected from injury.

SN - 00225428 AB - In 1961 the Committee on Commerce of the U.S. Senate issued a report entitled "National Transportation Policy," which was prepared by a special study Group on Transportation Policies. The report has since been called "The Doyle Report," after the staff director of the group, Major General John P. Doyle. Today this extensive treatise still serves as a basic textbook for the transportation community. Much of the report's value lies in the penetrating analyses given to each major facet of the transportation system and in the proposed recommendations. But its chief asset is the comprehensive way in which the analyses and recommendations are interrelated to produce a viable, consistent and equitable model for revamping transportation policies. The times have changed since the "Doyle Report," was issued. All types of common carriers have benefited from prosperity. Each mode is handling more traffic and making more money. The regulated carriers have slowly increased their relative share of intercity ton-miles to over 60% despite the absolute growth of private carriage.

A brief resume both of the types of cases in which costs have been helpful and the issues involved in such cases may serve at this point to focus attention on the general nature of the problems with which the analyst must cope. Probably one of the simplest uses of cost is that involved in the determination of whether or not a particular train or bus schedule should be continued in service. Cost analysis is frequently involved in abandonment proceedings, a fundamental question being whether the cost of hauling that traffic which originates or terminates on the line to be abandoned and which would be lost to the carrier if the line were abandoned, exceeds the system gross revenues earned from such traffic. Again, on traffic handled over the lines of two or more carriers, questions as to the division of the revenues among the participating roads may call for studies to show the relative expense, line-haul and terminal, which each road incurs in performing its portion of the haul.

Between them, with competition as the main moving force, they had produced all manner of discriminations in rates, which were found on every hand and were thought by many to be unjust. The competition between different modes of transportation is, of course, affected very materially by the extent to which public aid or subsidy is given, directly or indirectly, to each. The chief questions by which the Commission is confronted in the adjustment of the rates of competing forms of transportation are whether and how and to what extent it should exercise its authority to prescribe minimum reasonable rates. The Commission is concentrating attention on the subject of cost finding, and has recruited a small staff of experts for this purpose.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) sponsored a multiyear pilot demonstration of Clear Signal for Action (CSA), a safety culture intervention implemented with Behavioral Science Technology Inc., at a Union Pacific (UP) service unit. CSA combines peer-to-peer feedback, continuous improvement, and safety-leadership development. The US Department of Transportation John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center conducted an independent program evaluation of the pilot, using qualitative and quantitative measures. The evaluation found that, over two years, the site experienced significant improvements in safety outcomes, operations, and safety culture, including an 80% drop in at-risk behaviors, a 79% decrease in engineer decertification rates, a 81% decline in the rate derailments and other incidents, and better labor-management relations. Comparison locations showed no improvements in the decertifications or derailments. The success of the pilot, in addition to successes UP had earlier with CSA-type processes, encouraged UP to expand these processes throughout its transportation department. The success of this pilot and other similar pilots led to the development and adoption of the FRA's Railroad Safety Risk Reduction Program in the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008, and the implementation of similar safety-culture programs by other carriers.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Eleven male surrogates of general aviation pilots, 21 to 35 years old, were tested for altitude, +Gz and fatigue tolerances with and without previous fasting for 24 h. Testing included 2 min of lower body negative pressure (LBNP) at -40 torr (equivalent to +2Gz) after 118 min at 3810 m chamber altitude and, after returning to ground level pressure, ergometry of 50 watts for 6 min. The fast had no significant effect on altitude and fatigue tolerances. One subject, who tolerated 2 min of LBNP in the nonfasting condition, lost useful consciousness during this test in the fasting condition. Although the remaining 10 subjects tolerated 2 min of LBNP in fasting and nonfasting conditions with no significant difference in values, 2 of them during fasting manifested symptoms usually associated with impending syncope. Pilots should be informed that a 24-h fast may reduce the margin for safe tolerance of flight manoeuvres at +2Gz or above.

A small number of cysticercoids developed in most of the mice exposed to 1,350 or 1,450 R and given 40 X 106 marrow cells one day later. Cysticercoids developed in all immunized mice exposed to 950 R and challenged 7 days later but when similar mice were given 40 X 106 marrow cells 4 days after irradiation, only 2 of 12 mice contained cysticercoids after challenge at 7 days after irradiation. Cysticercoids also developed in most of the immunized mice exposed to 950 R and given 0.5 X 106 marrow cells one day later followed by 40 X 106 cells 20 days after that; the counts were no different from those in similar mice not given the 2nd dose of cells. The role of transplanted syngeneic marrow in promoting persistence of immunity acquired before irradiation is discussed.
