Operator acceptance of new technology for industrial mobile equipment
No full textUsing examples from mining and the wider minerals industry, this chapter focuses on operator acceptance of new technology for industrial mobile equipment. It initially takes a broad approach by introducing the mining/minerals industry and briefly describing the key elements in the mining system. Thereafter, it examines the development and deployment of new mining technologies, including the need for them and the types typically being introduced at mine sites. Operator acceptance of mining technologies, especially for mining vehicles, is then introduced: particularly considering how both design and deployment can assist in improving acceptance of such technology. A case study of recently undertaken research that considers operator acceptance of proximity warning systems for mining vehicles is then presented. Finally, the chapter concludes by stressing the importance of a user-centred design and deployment process for technology used in mining and elsewhere
Driver acceptance of new technology: synthesis and perspectives
No full textThis chapter pulls together the research findings, experiences and discussion topics documented by our book contributors to provide a synthesis of what is known and areas in which there is consensus in our understanding of driver acceptance of in-vehicle technology. We identify the perspectives of researchers, product designers and government policymakers and discuss how knowledge of acceptance of technology from related fields can be relevant to the in-vehicle environment. Finally, we try to identify the main knowledge gaps in the field and make recommendations concerning topics and methods for future research
Driver acceptance of in-vehicle information, assistance and automated systems: an overview
No full textThis chapter provides an overview of Human Factors issues relevant to the acceptance by drivers of technology-based systems within vehicles. A distinction is made between issues relevant to systems providing information to support driving-related tasks (e.g. navigation), systems that provide some degree of control-based assistance (e.g. Adaptive Cruise Control) and those systems which automate the driving task (e.g. platooning). It is recognised that a range of Human Factors issues will have a direct influence on the acceptance of these systems, including those related to distraction, trust and reliability. Moreover, it is apparent that acceptance itself will impact on system usage, primarily raising issues of reliance. The chapter concludes by highlighting some topics which have received relatively little consideration, but will be critical for the ultimate acceptance of in-vehicle systems.

No full textTim Di Muzio on 'Sabotage'
No full textIn a series of essays published in 2013 and 2014 on capitaspower.com, political economist Tim Di Muzio explored the concept of ‘sabotage’ as it applies to capitalist power. I recently rediscovered these essays and was so impressed by them that I have reposted them here as a single piece.
About the author: Tim Di Muzio is a researcher at the University of Wollongong. He is the author of numerous books, including Debt as power, Carbon capitalism, and The 1% and the Rest of us

First person - Tim Petzold
No full textFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Tim Petzold is first author on ‘ Connexin 41.8 governs timely haematopoietic stem and progenitor cell specification’, published in BiO. Tim conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Julien Bertrand's lab at the Department of Pathology and Immunology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Geneva, Switzerland. He is now a postdoc in the lab of Holger Gerhardt at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association, Berlin, Germany, investigating developmental biology – previously his focus was on how blood stem cells develop and now it has shifted to how the vascular system develops
