www.mathworks.com The purpose of RTCA/DO-254 (referred to herein as “DO-254”) is to provide guidance for the development of airborne electronic hardware. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), and other worldwide aviation safety authorities require this standard to ensure that complex electronic hardware used in aircraft systems works as specified und...

BACKGROUND Physicians are frequently unaware of their patients' desires regarding end-of-life care. Consequently, opportunities to implement do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders are often missed. OBJECTIVE To determine the reasons attending physicians do not write DNR orders when patients face increased mortality. METHODS Over 4 months, the medical records of all inpatients on the General Medici...

Using indirect evidence, Wortzel and his colleagues raise the likelihood that the rates of suicide will increase among incarcerated veterans, given past trends and current information about veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Although it might be argued that the data are inadequate for the formulation of public policy, there is sufficient information to begin creating programs for vet...

Standards for critical avionics software development, such as DO178B, place a strong emphasis on process issues: ensuring traceability between different development artifacts and proper configuration management of these artifacts. Certification Management (CM) systems formalize many of the relationships between different artifacts and hold the promise of both streamlining the management of the ...

In this paper, we argue that if privacy standards are created to guide “do-not-track” technologies, these standards should be created with the primary stakeholder in mind: the data subject. Previous privacy and security standards have been unsuccessful because implementations were inconsistent, confusing, or not readily apparent to the user. The Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs) empo...

The emergence of complex safety-critical systems such as integrated modular avionics challenges the limits of traditional process-based assurance methods based on what DO-178B calls “reviews.” The problem is that interaction between subsystems produces too many possible behaviors. Assurance for these cases needs support from what DO178B calls “analyses”; in particular, tool-supported calculatio...

The purpose of this study was to examine the biopsychological personality profiles of traditional Korean Sasang typology based on the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) in a Korean adult clinical sample. A total of 97 adults completed the Korean version of the TCI. The participants were classified as one of three traditional Korean Sasang types (31 So-Yang, 41 Tae-Eum, 25 So-Eum) by thre...

This paper discusses some software safety standards, with respect to how they can be used tomeasure software safety. The possibility to transfer the requirements of a software safetystandard into Bayesian Belief Nets is also investigated. The aim is to utilise the BBNmethodology and associated tools, to transfer the software safety measurement into aprobabilistic quantity. In th...
