UNLABELLED Cognitive work analysis (CWA) as an analytical approach for examining complex sociotechnical systems has shown success in modelling the work of single operators. The CWA approach incorporates social and team interactions, but a more explicit analysis of team aspects can reveal more information for systems design. In this paper, Team CWA is explored to understand teamwork within a bir...

Diarrhea is a leading cause of death among young mammals, especially during weaning. Here, we investigated the effects of Cathelicidin-WA (CWA) on diarrhea, intestinal morphology, inflammatory responses, epithelial barrier and microbiota in the intestine of young mammals during weaning. Piglets with clinical diarrhea were selected and treated with saline (control), CWA or enrofloxacin (Enro) fo...

凝固波形解析（clot waveform analysis: CWA）には，活性化部分トロンボプラスチン時間（activated partial thromboplastin time: APTT），プロトロンビン時間（prothrombin PT），トロンビン時間（thrombin TT）などがあり，エビデンスが集積されつつある．また，生理的な凝固能を評価するために，種々の修正CWAが開発されつつある．修正CWAには，CWA-PT/APTT，CWA-希釈PT（small amount TF induced FIX activation: sTF/FIXa），CWA-希釈TT，global coagulation and fibrinolysis testなどがある．CWA-sTF/FIXaはpeak heightの増加で過凝固状態を，peak timeの延長で血小板減少を示唆する．...

Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal bacterium that causes infections such as sepsis, endocarditis, and pneumonia. S. aureus can express a variety of virulence factors, includ‐ ing surface proteins. Surface proteins are characterized by presence of a Sec‐dependent signal sequence at the amino terminal, and the sorting signal domain. Surface proteins are covalently attached to peptidoglycan and ...

A physiologically based pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD) model was developed to simulate the concentration and effects of low-level chemical warfare agents (CWA) in the Göttingen minipig. The model code was written to account for absorption of CWAs from multiple sites (respiratory tract – lower and upper, dermal, ocular) after vapor exposure. Literature references to minipig physiology...

Chemical warfare agent (CWA) simulants as well as their degradation and hydrolysis products were detected from surfaces using thermal desorption ion mobility spectrometry (TD-IMS). CWA simulant materials that closely mimic the chemical structures of real CWA G/V-type nerve and S-type vesicant simulants were used in this study. Reduced mobility constants (K0) in air were reported for 20 compound...

In a previous study[1], the feasibility of controlling entities in the Onesaf Test Bed simulation using a command and control hierarchy represented as teams of agents was demonstrated. The scenario used for the demonstration was the preparatory phase for a company attack on a platoon and it highlighted a number of issues requiring further research. The most important of these was the issue of b...

Recent studies have reported a significant false positive rate in delivery of therapy by implantable antitachycardia devices utilizing detection algorithms based on sustained high rate. More selective decision schemes for the recognition of life-threatening arrhythmias have been recently proposed that use analysis of the intrinsic electrogram rather than rate alone. Morphological discrimination...

Exaggerated reactions to even small changes in the environment and abnormal behaviors in response to auditory stimuli are frequently observed in children with autism (CWA). Brain mechanisms involved in the automatic detection of auditory frequency change were studied using scalp potential and scalp current density (SCD) mapping of mismatch negativity (MMN) in 15 CWA matched with 15 healthy chil...

Cognitive Work Analysis (CWA; Rasmussen, Pejtersen & Goodstein, 1994; Vicente, 1999) is most familiar to cognitive engineers from its successes in the area of interface design. In this report, we describe how we have used CWA in a variety of other contexts at the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) in Australia. First, we describe the five analytic techniques of CWA, and we show ...
