The design of pilot assisted wireless transmissions is considered from signal processing and information theoretical perspectives. A general pilot placement model is presented and related figures of merit discussed. A survey of recent pilot assisted transmission theory and techniques is provided.

Human control behavior is rarely completely stationary over time due to fatigue or loss of attention. In addition, there are many control tasks for which human operators need to adapt their control strategy to vehicle dynamics that vary in time. In previous studies on the identification of time-varying pilot control behavior wavelets were used to estimate the time-varying frequency response fun...

The effectiveness of an airborne collision avoidance system (CAS) is influenced by the manner in which pilots respond to the system’s advisories. Current pilot response models used in CAS modeling and simulation are agnostic to parameters affecting pilot response in individual encounters and therefore treat all encounters equally. Simulations using these models can potentially underestimate col...

background and purpose: the spices model has been proposed to be used both as a framework for quality improvement in medical education and as a guide for evaluation of curricula. the six strategies of spices are representatives of innovative approaches to medical education, and each one has been considered as a continuum. the present study models a theory-based questionnaire, based on spices, t...

This paper describes calculations and results of time constants of mathematical model of a pilot’s behavior. Pilot was tested to a sudden altitude change whilst he controlled an aircraft. For calculations were used two different methods of measured data processing. Firstly the method using System Identification ToolboxTM from programming environment MATLAB® was applied. The second method used t...

A pilot-scale fluidized bed reactor was built and used to study and gain a better understanding of the propylene polymerization process at conditions similar to those of industrial fluidized-bed reactors. Propylene polymerization reaction was carried out continuously in the reactor and dynamic temperatures, and propylene and hydrogen concentrations data were collected. Simulated dynamic profile...

Background: Pasteur Institute of Iran was established in 1919 with the aim to produce vaccines and prevent communicable diseases in Iran. Over time, their activities extended into areas of research, education and services. Naturally, such a vast development begs establishment of a comprehensive management and monitoring system. With this outlook, the present study was carried out with the aim t...

A new pilot model consisting of neural networks and supervisory fuzzy logic control is proposed to reveal a pilot’s control characteristics in the visual approach to landing. The model is constructed from real or simulated flight and can be used for pilot training or assesment.
