Building Safe Systems in Aviation provides a single source for
those who need to progress beyond current models of Crew Resource
Management (CRM) to developing safe systems in critical industries.
Although the primary focus is on airline pilots, the principles
apply to all sectors of aviation, particularly maintenance and
cabin crew, as well as other high-risk industries. It
systematically sets out the context of CRM and safe systems, the
conduct of training, the resources needed by the facilitator and
the processes required for the measurement of outcomes. Part One
reviews the development of the human factors/CRM domain and
examines the concepts of risk and safety. Part Two, primarily for
new instructors, gives a guide to training delivery and also
considers non-classroom situations, the role of debriefing,
facilitation and the design of human factors courses. Part Three
examines the measurement of training effectiveness, the design and
implementation of behavioural markers and standardizing assessors.
It concludes by looking at some of the broader issues associated
with the management of CRM. The book's readership includes those
who design, deliver or manage CRM and safety-related training
within airlines and other companies.
Well structured training, based on sound theoretical principles,
can transform the system in which high performance is essential and
in turn, the organisation. Yet the strategic role of cost-effective
training provision is often less well understood than it might be
in all branches of aviation - whether civil or regional, general,
business or military. This book analyzes the cycle of training
design from the identification of requirement through to
measurement of effectiveness. Key issues in training design and
management are illustrated with examples and learning is
consolidated through case studies. The book provides advice, tools,
procedures and examples of best practice - both recent and
well-established - to assist aviation training personnel who aim to
guarantee cost-effective training. The approach is highly
practical, but does not avoid covering the theory when needed. An
informative guide to the process of training analysis and course
design, the book examines each stage of the training design cycle
in some depth. In addition, it looks at the application of quality
management and of project management to training design. Each
chapter contains advice and techniques, as well as examples drawn
from the author's wealth of experience of training in aviation.
Generally, biologists and mathematicians who study the shape and form of organisms have largely been working in isolation from those who work on evolutionary relationships through the analysis of common characteristics. Increasingly however, dialogue between the two communities is beginning to develop - but other than a handful of journal papers, there has been no formal, published discussion on this subject. This timely book summarises the interdisciplinary work that has taken place to date and will stimulate additional research into these topics. Any scientist working on evolutionary relationships will find this volume invaluable. eBook available with sample pages: 0203165179

The book provides a data-driven approach to real-world crew
resource management (CRM) applicable to commercial pilot
performance. It addresses the shift to a systems-based resilience
thinking that aims to understand how worker performance provides a
buffer against failure. This book will be the first to bring these
ideas together. Taking a competence-based approach offers a more
coherent, relevant approach to CRM. The book presents relevant,
real-world examples of the concepts and outlines a change in
thinking around pilot performance and data interpretation that is
overdue. Airlines, pilots and aviation industry professionals will
benefit from the insights into organisational design and
alternative approaches to training. FEATURES Approaches CRM from a
competence-based perspective Uses a systems model to bring
coherence to CRM Includes a chapter on using blended learning and
virtual reality to deliver CRM Features research on work/life
balance, morale, pilot fatigue and link to error Operationalises
'resilience engineering' in a crew context
The automated identification of biological objects or groups has
been a dream among taxonomists and systematists for centuries.
However, progress in designing and implementing practical systems
for fully automated taxon identification has been frustratingly
slow. Regardless, the dream has never died. Recent developments in
computer architectures and innovations in software design have
placed the tools needed to realize this vision in the hands of the
systematics community, not several years hence, but now. And not
just for DNA barcodes or other molecular data, but for digital
images of organisms, digital sounds, digitized chemical data -
essentially any type of digital data. Based on evidence accumulated
over the last decade and written by applied researchers, Automated
Taxon Identification in Systematics explores contemporary
applications of quantitative approaches to the problem of taxon
recognition. The book begins by reviewing the current state of
systematics and placing automated taxon identification in the
context of contemporary trends, needs, and opportunities. The
chapters present and evaluate different aspects of current
automated system designs. They then provide descriptions of case
studies in which different theoretical and practical aspects of the
overall group-identification problem are identified, analyzed, and
discussed. A recurring theme through the chapters is the
relationship between taxonomic identification, automated group
identification, and morphometrics. This collection provides a
bridge between these communities and between them and the wider
world of applied taxonomy. The only book-length treatment that
explores automated group identification in systematic context, this
text also includes introductions to basic aspects of the fields of
contemporary artificial intelligence and mathematical group
recognition for the entire biological community.
There must be very few corners left in the British Isles against
whose picturesque and historical background so many dramas and epic
tales have been played, but yet which so little has been
documented. Such a place is Morvern - a roughly triangular-shaped
peninsula lying west of Fort William and at the foot of the Great
Glen. Immortalised by James MacPherson (as the home of Ossian, the
Heroic Fingalian warrior), Tennyson and Scott, it is now a remote
and little known part of what was Argyll lost in the anonymity of
the Highland region. Morvern: A Highland Parish (first published as
Reminiscences of a Highland Parish) was so popular from its first
appearance in 1867 that it went through many editions. The value of
Norman Macleod's book today lies in its encapsulation of the past,
its humour, its evocation of the scenery of Morvern and
surroundings, and its specific appreciation of the remarkable
natural intelligence and concern for humanity. It speaks of
Morvern, but describes a whole breed of West Highlanders. Even more
importantly it clarifies the Highlander's own view of the Clan, a
very necessary exercise at a time when notions of what a Clan is
are romantically distanced from reality.
Norman MacLeod provides the reader with a varied choice of local
compositions ranging in theme from descriptions of local events to
the beauties of nature.
