Modern Airline Pilots\u27 Quandary: Standard Operating Procedures—to Comply or Not to Comply
Get PDFModern airline pilots are tasked every flight with the safe and efficient operation of highly automated airliners in today’s complicated global and economic environments. Airlines have developed standard operating procedures (SOP) for normal, abnormal, and emergency operations. These procedures serve as a script for crews to follow. These procedures are designed by airlines to ensure that aircraft are operated in the (1) most safe, (2) most efficient, and (3) most on-time manner. For the most part pilots will comply with SOP, but when they (1) don9t agree with SOP, (2) don9t understand SOP or the risks associated with not complying with SOP, or (3) don9t feel adequately trained to know what SOP is, it is difficult to motivate them to comply. Airlines have the means to measure compliance through Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) and Line Operations Safety Audit (LOSA). The purpose of this research is to determine if increased understanding, knowledge and awareness of the risk of noncompliance with SOP increase airline pilots’ compliance with SOP. This research explores data from line checks at a major US airline that was gathered in pursuit of understanding what drives SOP compliance. Baseline data was gathered and analyzed to determine the top 12 noncompliant items. The airline provided training during the Human Factors module in each pilots recurrent training on Pilot Intentional Non Compliance (PINC). The training including developing pilots’ understanding that while most Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) reports grant pilots immunity from legal action, if a violation is labeled PINC, ASAP protections do not apply. Further line checks were conducted after the pilots received the PINC training. The top 12 noncompliant items from the pre-PINC training group were compared to the same 12 items in the post-PINC training group. Significant improvement in SOP compliance was found in six of the 12 items tested. The results established that training pilots on the risk of PINC did significantly increase SOP compliance
Standard operating procedures (SOP) in experimental stroke research: SOP for middle cerebral artery occlusion in the mouse
Get PDFRecently, systematic reviews have found quantitative evidence that low study quality may have introduced a bias into preclinical stroke research. Monitoring, auditing, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) are already key elements of quality control in randomized clinical trials and will hopefully be widely adopted by preclinical stroke research in the near future. Increasingly, funding bodies and review boards overseeing animal experiments are taking a proactive stance, and demand auditable quality control measures in preclinical research. Every good quality control system is based on its SOPs. This article introduces the concept of quality control and presents for the first time an SOP in experimental stroke research

6. CITP SOP Thioflavin T
No full textThe
Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program (CITP) is a multi-institutional
program that seeks robust and reproducible pro-longevity
interventions that are efficacious across genetically diverse cohorts in the Caenorhabditis genus. The project
features a unique design in which multiple experimental replicates are
collected by three different laboratories at discrete locations for all
candidate compounds tested. To limit confounding factors that may
influence experimental reproducibility, we develop standardized operating
procedures (SOPs) for all experimental procedures. Here we provide the CITP SOP
for thioflavin T. </p
A Boolean heuristic for disjoint SOP synthesis
No full textWe propose a new heuristic algorithm for Disjoint Sum-of-Products (DSOP) minimization of a Boolean function f, based on a new algebraic criterion for product selection. The basic idea behind the new algorithm is to transform a given irredundant Sum-of-Products (SOP), i.e., a set of products covering the on-set minterms of f, into a disjoint SOP by repeated applications of two transformations. The first transformation selects pairs of suitable overlapping products in the initial SOP and replaces them with pairs of non-overlapping products covering the same minterms. By this step, some products are made disjoint, while keeping the overall number of products in the SOP unchanged. Next, a second transformation returns a completely disjoint SOP. By this second step, the number of products will increase. A set of experiments on a standard collection of combinational benchmarks shows that this new method is efficient and produces better results compared to the current best heuristic, achieving a 34.4% average cost reduction in about the 46% of the benchmarks, with less computation time
