چکیده

Human error in commercial aviation has recently come again to the fore in three accidents, all within a month of one another in February and March 2009. We focus on a take-off accident in Melbourne. Various tasks involved in pre-flight cockpit preparation are crucial, but vulnerable to error, which may be caused by such phenomena as third-party interruptions in cockpit pre-flight procedures, whose intensity has been remarked by pilots and recently investigated by NASA. Were known techniques for fault-tolerance in computing to be applied to pre-flight cockpit preparation and more rigorously supported by computational devices, the major possibilities for human error could be avoided.

Human errors identification in operation of meat grinder using TAFEI technique

  Background: Human error is the most important cause of occupational and non-occupational accidents. Because, it seems necessary to identify, predict and analyze human errors, and also offer appropriate control strategies to reduce errors which cause adverse consequences, the present study was carried out with the aim of identifying human errors while operating meat grinder and offer sugg...

Task modeling and specification for modular sensory based human-machine cooperative systems

This paper is directed towards developing Human-Machine Cooperative Systems (HCMS) for augmented surgical manipulation tasks. These tasks are commonly repetitive, sequential, and consist of simple steps. The transitions between these steps can be driven either by the surgeon’s input or sensory information. Consequently, complex tasks can be effectively modeled using a set of basic primitives, w...

ارزیابی کمی خطای انسانی با استفاده از رویکرد مهندسی در فرایند صدور پروانه کار در یک صنعت پتروشیمی

Background and aims: Permit to work (P.T.W) is a formal written system to control certain types of work which are identified as potentially hazardous. Although P.T.W is a means of safety system and coordinating different work activities to avoid conflicts, it may be susceptible for human error. The purpose of this study was quantitative human error assessment using engineering approach in P.T.W...

Cooperative Control of Multiple Quadrotors for Transporting a Common Payload

This paper investigates the problem of controlling a team of Quadrotors that cooperatively transport a common payload. The main contribution of this study is to propose a cooperative control algorithm based on a decentralized algorithm. This strategy is comprised of two main steps: the first one is calculating the basic control vectors for each Quadrotor using Moore–Penrose theory aiming at coo...

I-25: New Steps towards The Artificial Ovary

Background: In recent years, transplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue has proved to be a promising approach to restore fertility in cancer patients. However, such a procedure cannot be carried out in women at risk of ovarian involvement due to the threat of reintroducing malignant cells. The aim of this study was therefore to create an artificial ovary as an alternative to restore fertil...
