MENTAL WORKLOAD
No full textThis chapter begins with an assessment of the nature and characteristics of mental workload and how people have defined it over the years. It looks at the major techniques, their relative advantages and disadvantages and how they are enacted in practical circumstances in the many operational domains to which they can apply. The chapter examines approaches including some that have fallen out of favor and others which, at the present time represent only candidate proposals which offer a degree of applicational promise. It looks also looks at workload and its assessment in the broader context of humans and their interaction with developing and evolving forms of technology. The chapter considers where workload stands in relation to pressing issues such as human teaming with ever-more autonomous systems. Human cognitive workload assessment might be rather obviated by developments while, interestingly, assessment of computer “cognitive” load may actually burgeon in importance

A NEW GENUS OF DISTOMES (TREMATODA) WITH LYMPHATIC VESSELS
No full textThe trematodes described in this paper are but two of over 100 species collected from marine fishes in 1934, during the third G. Allan Hancock Expedition to the Galapagos Islands. The author\u27s presence on this expedition was sponsored in part by the Carnegie Institution of Washington. A brief preliminary report on the trematodes collected has been made (Manter, 1934) and a more complete report on the digenetic forms is in preparation. An early description of these two forms is felt justified in view of their significance in connection with the phylogeny of the Distomata. The author has already indicated (Manter, 1935) a relationship between certain allocreadiid-like distomes (Megasolena Linton and Hapladena Linton) and amphistomes. The new genus described below further substantiates such a view and indicates that the Anallocreadiinae in particular may be involved. A discussion of these relationships will follow a description of the new species

Turing in the driver's seat: Can people distinguish between automated and manually driven vehicles?
No full textAs the number of automated vehicles is increasing on our roads, we wanted to know if people could detect if a car was being driven by a human driver or automation in a lane change task. This is particularly relevant, as most of the road collisions involve automated vehicles being struck from behind by manually driven vehicles. To address the detection of automated vehicles, an online survey presented videos of lane change maneuvers on multi-lane carriageways from behind the automated vehicle. We reasoned that, on such roads, the behavior of the vehicles in front would have more of an effect on drivers than those of the vehicles behind. To this end, an online survey was conducted with 769 people judging 60 video clips, classifying the lane change either being performed by Autopilot software or a human driver. Over 34,000 responses were recorded. It was found that automated and manual lane changes were virtually indistinguishable from the rear of the vehicle. The main conclusion of the research was that vehicles in automated mode should display this fact to other road users all around the vehicle as this may have an effect on other road users in anticipating the behavior of the other vehicle.</p

The Hancock county agricultural demonstration project, 1971
No full textThe title of this proposal is the Hancock County Agricultural Demonstration Project. It is submitted to the Office of Economic Opportunity, The Economic Development Division. The project was investigated by Miss Charleyene Bloodworth, a Social Work student at Atlanta University. It is designed to run for a one-year period, beginning May 1, 1971, and ending April 31, 1972. The proposed budget is for $76,325.01, which includes a team of workers consisting of a Market Specialist, a Business Manager, two trainees, one secretary, and one truck driver.This project is structured to provide technical assistance to the Hancock County Growers and Marketing 3 Association, a farmer's cooperative. The objectives of the project are to increase the incomes of the farmers, their standards living and their business management skills by the expanded production of agricultural pro�ducts. It also has the objective of teaching the mem�bers the skills of market research and development.The farmers in Hancock County are small producers who realize the advantages of working together in their own behalf. They are aware that together, they can have a reasonable income provided they have the opportunity and the skill to produce what they can and have markets for their products. It is recognized that initially, techni�cal assistance is needed�but only to the extent that the farmers become capable of handling the enterprise themselves; for the overall goal is to make those who were once dependent on others, independent and prosperous businessmen. This goal of making the farmers self- sustaining makes the project significant
