Advances in Aviation Psychology Volume 1

Advances in Aviation Psychology Volume 1

Aviation remains one of the most active and challenging domains for human factors and applied psychology. Since 1981 the biennial International Symposium on Aviation Psychology (ISAP) has been convened for the purposes of (a) presenting the latest research on human performance problems and opportunities within aviation systems (b) envisioning design solutions that best utilize human capabilities for creating safe and efficient aviation systems and (c) bringing together scientists research sponsors and operators in an effort to bridge the gap between research and application. Though rooted in the presentations of the 17th ISAP held in 2013 in Dayton Ohio Advances in Aviation Psychology is not simply a collection of selected proceeding papers. Based upon the potential impact on emerging trends current debates or enduring issues present in their work select authors were invited to expand on their work following the benefit of interactions at the symposium. The invited authors include the featured keynote and plenary speakers who are all leading scientists and prominent researchers that were selected to participate at the symposium. These contributions are supplemented by additional contributors whose work best reflects significant developments in aviation psychology. Consequently the volume includes visions for the next generation of air management and air traffic control the integration of unmanned (i. e. remotely piloted vehicles) into operational air spaces and the use of advanced information technologies (e. g. synthetic task environments) for research and training. This book is the first in a series of volumes to be published in conjunction with each subsequent ISAP. The aim of each volume is not only to report the latest findings in aviation psychology but also to suggest new directions for advancing the field. | Advances in Aviation Psychology Volume 1

Canonical Problems in Scattering and Potential Theory Part 1 Canonical Structures in Potential Theory

Canonical Problems in Scattering and Potential Theory Part 1 Canonical Structures in Potential Theory

Although the analysis of scattering for closed bodies of simple geometric shape is well developed structures with edges cavities or inclusions have seemed until now intractable to analytical methods. This two-volume set describes a breakthrough in analytical techniques for accurately determining diffraction from classes of canonical scatterers with comprising edges and other complex cavity features. It is an authoritative account of mathematical developments over the last two decades that provides benchmarks against which solutions obtained by numerical methods can be verified. The first volume Canonical Structures in Potential Theory develops the mathematics solving mixed boundary potential problems for structures with cavities and edges. The second volume Acoustic and Electromagnetic Diffraction by Canonical Structures examines the diffraction of acoustic and electromagnetic waves from several classes of open structures with edges or cavities. Together these volumes present an authoritative and unified treatment of potential theory and diffraction-the first complete description quantifying the scattering mechanisms in complex structures. | Canonical Problems in Scattering and Potential Theory Part 1 Canonical Structures in Potential Theory

Knowledge Power and Participation in Environmental Policy Analysis

Knowledge Power and Participation in Environmental Policy Analysis

This volume probes practical dilemmas and competing re- search perspectives in environmental policy analysis. Scholars working in different fields research traditions societies and policy domains offer significant insights into the processes and consequences of environmental policy making. Part 1 Coping with Boundaries describes present-day conflict between experts and greater public participation in environmental policy. It shows that the institutionalization of increasingly complex environmental problems has led to a conflict between technocracy and democracy. Part 2 The Transnational Challenge examines modes of cooperation between grassroots movements scientists and regional authorities in the United States and Canada. These and other modes of cooperation laid the foundations for the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement increased the effectiveness of air pollution treaties and increased climate change. Part 3 Bio-Hazards: Policies and Paralysis deals with environmental prob-lems closest to the everyday concerns of the public at large because they have immediate implications for food safety and other values. Part 4 The Citizens' Perspective focuses on citizen vis-a-vis environmental policy noting that in order to make policies work citizens must be willing and able to participate in policy-making and cooperate in implementing environmental choices. Part 5 Confronting Ordinary and Expert Knowledge explores opportunities and constraints affecting public participation in evaluation of science. Part 6 Developments in Research Programming addresses such questions as whether scientists still have opportunities to do the research they want without being interrupted or disturbed by policy makers and other stakeholders. Part 7 Policy Sciences' Aspirations explores different avenues for improving environmental policy. Volume twelve in the PSRA series should inspire further investigations of the relations among knowledge power and participation in environmental policy.

Leadership in the Construction Industry Developing Authentic Leaders in a Dynamic World

Leadership in the Construction Industry Developing Authentic Leaders in a Dynamic World

This book presents a new framework for leadership in the construction industry which draws from the authentic leadership construct. The framework has three major themes: self-leadership self-transcendent leadership and sustainable leadership. Despite its significance leadership has not been given due importance in the construction industry as focus is placed on managerial functionalism. At the project level even with the technological advances in the industry in recent years construction is realized in the form of people undertaking distinct interdependent activities which require effective leadership. The industry faces many challenges including: demanding client requirements and project parameters; more stringent regulations codes and systems; intense competition in the industry; and threats from disruptive enterprise. In such a complex environment technology-driven and tool-based project and corporate management is insufficient. It must be complemented by a strategic genuine stakeholder-focused and ethical leadership. Leadership in the Construction Industry is based on a study on authentic leadership and its development in Singapore. Leadership theories and concepts are reviewed; the importance of leadership in the construction industry is discussed; and the grounded theory approach which was applied in the study is explained. Many eminent construction professionals in Singapore were interviewed in the field study. Emerging from the experiences of the leaders documented in this book are three major themes: (1) self-leadership: how leaders engage in various self-related processes such as self-awareness self-regulation and role modeling. (2) self-transcendent leadership: how leaders go beyond leading themselves to leading others through servant leadership shared leadership spiritual leadership and socially-responsible leadership; and finally (3) sustainable leadership or the strategies leaders employ to make the impact of their leadership lasting. A synthesis of these themes and their implications for leadership development is presented before the book concludes with some recommendations for current and aspiring leaders about how they can engage with them. This book is essential reading for all construction practitioners from all backgrounds; and researchers on leadership and management in construction. | Leadership in the Construction Industry Developing Authentic Leaders in a Dynamic World
