  • Factors that affect task prioritization on the flight deck

    Creator:
    Colvin, Kurt W.
    Abstract:
    Cockpit Task Management (CTM) is the initiation, monitoring, prioritization, execution, and termination of multiple, concurrent tasks by night crews. The primary research question posed in the current research is what factors affect task prioritization on the modern day, commercial flight deck. The conventional CTM literature was reviewed as an introduction...

  • Cockpit task management errors : a design issue for intelligent pilot-vehicle interfaces

    Creator:
    Chou, Chung-di
    Abstract:
    In conformity with advanced cockpit automation technology, modern pilots have become airborne system managers and have to satisfactorily manage complex sets of tasks to complete a flight mission safely. Funk's (1991) normative cockpit task management (CTM) theory defines CTM functions as the initiation, monitoring, prioritization, allocating of resources to, and...

  • The role of the transcriptional regulatory protein BCL11B in dental and craniofacial development

    Creator:
    Kyrylkova, Kateryna
    Abstract:
    BCL11B is a transcriptional regulatory protein that plays essential roles during mouse embryonic development. BCL11B is expressed and functions in the immune and nervous systems as well as within ectodermal organs. Multiple studies have characterized the roles of BCL11B in T cells, brain, and skin. However, very little is known...

  • Communicating pilot goals to an intelligent cockpit aiding system

    Creator:
    Cha, Woo Chang
    Abstract:
    A significant number of aircraft incidents and accidents have been caused, in part, by flightcrew failure to properly manage cockpit activities, such as failure to initiate activities at the appropriate time, misprioritization of activities, or the failure to appropriately monitor activities and terminate them when required. To facilitate the management...

  • A design framework for identifying automation opportunities

    Creator:
    Nagel, Robert Lewis, 1982-
    Abstract:
    Since the Industrial Revolution, automated systems have increasingly become a part of everyday life. Automated systems range in scale and scope from simple assists to complete robotic replacements. Inexpensive integrated circuits, sensors and microprocessors have allowed automated systems to become smaller, cheaper and more prevalent. Identifying appropriate opportunities for automation,...

  • Modeling Task Prioritization Behaviors in a Time-Pressured Multitasking Environment

    Creator:
    Toma, Takeaki
    Abstract:
    Funk’s (1991) cockpit task management (CTM) theory is structurally consistent with cognitive multitasking models: it addresses managing multiple and concurrent tasks in three stages: situation awareness, response selection, and response execution. Based on CTM theory, Colvin, Funk and Braune (2005) hypothesized that the following six factors may affect task prioritization:...

  • Involving older adults in the design and development of free/open source software

    Creator:
    Davidson, Jennifer L.
    Abstract:
    An age-wave is upon us where many older adults are reaching retirement. Technically experienced older adults have skills that could be directly applied to free/open source software (FOSS) communities, such as project management, programming, and/or knowledge of a rapidly growing end-user population. FOSS is a widely popular, low-cost way to...

    Creator:
    Lee, Wei-Tau
    Abstract:
    This research is an effort to explore the nature of good work, a concept that describes work that is beneficial to the physical, psychological, and social dimensions of its stakeholders, including and especially the worker. This effort is divided into four distinct parts. First, the construct of good work is...
