The selection of a new military or commercial aircraft is based, in part, on life-cycle cost or cost-of-ownership. These parameters include both acquisition and operating costs. In the latter, personnel cost is an increasingly important factor. This leads directly to reduction in crew size and automation or reallocation of tasks previously assigned to the now-missing crewmen. It is also common to find that a new aircraft is more complex than the one it replaced. Frequently then, in new aircraft there are fewer crewmen and at least as many functions to be performed as in older aircraft. The challenge to designers of flight decks and avionics suites is to configure the crew station in such a way that required tasks can be accomplished with the allotted crew complement and workload is held within reasonable limits. The purpose of this paper is to outline the role of the human factors practitioner in meeting this challenge, particularly our role in predicting and measuring workload. The process of producing a new system can be broken into (a) statement of functional requirements, (b) design and manufacture, and (c) verification that the design, and finally the system, meets the requirements. In practice, these stages are iterated several times from preliminary design to detailed design to prototype and final production. As good empiricists, we recognize the verification stage to be a test of the hypothesis that the test article meets the requirement. The functional requirements must be stated in quantitative terms and the verification must have all the characteristics of a good experiment.

This chapter discusses international judges’ paths towards the bench, arguing that more attention should be paid to the nomination process, rather than focusing only on elections. It dwells on the so-called Smurfette principle, an image borrowed from the contemporary analysis of popular visual culture about the role of ‘the one woman’ singled out in a group of men—and what this means for women on the bench. In looking at how to increase the number of women on the bench, the chapter reflects on who selects candidates and how, and what institutional mechanisms exist, or could be established, to improve the gender balance. This entails an analysis of the importance of domestic selection mechanisms, including the role of the national group of the Permanent Court of Arbitration as a forum for the selection of candidates. The central idea is that a gender balance cannot be fully achieved through elections so it needs to be pursued in the preparatory stage. Finally, the chapter addresses questions about potential improvements of selection processes as the possibilities of the current system may at times be under-explored.

This commentary focuses on Findlay & Walker's model and more specifically, on its underestimation of the role of cognitive processes in eye movement control during complex activities such as text scanning. In particular, the issue of the complexity of the subject's task/behavior is discussed to stress the importance of the link between selection for perceptual processing on the one hand, and the selection of a target for a saccade, on the other. Future models will have to account for the fact that the goal of any saccade is to bring the eyes to a relevant object and that the selection of this saccade target is closely related to object recognition.

Sportswear constitutes an integral part of technical textiles and encases great potential as far as technological and design innovations are concerned. The sports textiles have witnessed tremendous evolution and that too at a much faster pace compared to ready to wear segment. The sports clothing is no longer restricted to sportsperson involved in performance sports or strenuous physical activities. However, there has been a surge for sports apparels and accessories among health conscious, fitness freak and gym enthusiasts. Accordingly, the sportswear industry has witnessed revolutionary advancements in development of different sportswear categories like active wear, leisurewear and athleisure to fulfill the requirements of sportsperson as well as health conscious millennials. The basic and functional requirements of comfort, breathability, light weight, anti-static and anti-odor properties can be engineered into sportswear by optimum selection of fibers, yarns, fabrics and garments’ designing aspects. The chapter will provide an insight on the classification, requirements, design aspects, raw material procurement, innovative and sustainable concepts employed in sportswear to enhance the functionality and comfort characteristics of sportswear. Furthermore, the role of technology and fashion in sportswear transformation is also covered in the last sections of the chapter.

The problem of human sacrifice universality can be formulated as follows: is a human sacrifice a sociocultural universal and, if so, how can this be proved? One possible approach to solving this problem is to show how human sacrifice is realized in modern societies. The main purpose of this research is to substantiate the assumption that there are contemporary analogues of the candidate’s selection for the role of a human sacrifice. If they exist, this will be an additional argument in favor of the opinion that human sacrifice is universal. The elements of human sacrifice can be spread out in time and space, and also be implemented in a different order than in traditional rituals. The hypothesis was that the selection of candidates for the role of victims in such distributed sacrifice is implemented by life and health insurance. As a research method we used the analysis of possible statistical relationships between mortality and life expectancy of people, on the one hand, and the availability of different types of life and health insurance policies, on the other. Since the mortality rate among the military in active service is higher than among civilians, compulsory life and health insurance for military personnel can be viewed as an analogue of the selection of victims. In the case of civilian victims, the availability of voluntary life and health insurance policies for people is positively correlated with life expectancy, which is presumably associated with better medical care in cases of illness or accident. Voluntary insurance can be viewed as an analogue of negative selection: those not insured have a higher chance of becoming a victim.

SummaryPhages from a pentadecamer phage display library were selected for binding to vWF by affinity panning. Bound phages were selectively eluted with human collagen type I. After the third round of panning 95% of individual phage clones bound to vWF. The B8-phage inhibited the binding of collagen to vWF with an IC50 of 0.6 × 1010 phages/ml, and of vWF to collagen with an IC50 of 1.0 × 1010 phages/ml at 0.5 μg/ml vWF. Under flow conditions, 1.5 × 1011 B8-phage/ml nearly completely inhibited platelet deposition on a human collagen type I coated surface at a shear rate of 1200 s-1, while phages without an insert had no effect. The peptide corresponding to the one displayed on the B8-phage competed with the phage for binding to vWF with an IC50 of 30 μg/ml (16 μM). The peptide furthermore inhibited vWF-binding to collagen with a maximum of 40% at a concentration of 1.25 mg/ml (650 μM), higher concentrations of peptide could not improve this. We thus have selected phages that are potent vWF-binders and that can be used as tools to detect vWF, to inhibit vWF-collagen interaction and to further analyse the role of vWF-collagen binding.

The text is an attempt to analyze and interpret a selection of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s thoughts about education relating to music education, the thoughts that I find as reminiscences of assumptions and methods of Emil Jaques-Dalcroze. He focuses his discourse on the issues related to the moment when the musical education of the child takes form and also on the quality of the child’s first contacts with music, and the role of parent and teacher in the child’s appreciation of music. A comparison of the assumptions regarding musical education of Rousseau and Jaques-Dalcroze may seem interesting, because, despite the passage of successive decades, they seem to be still valid, as, for example, the one that speaks of the joy of discovery that should accompany the child in the learning process.

The first question to be answered, in seeking coordinate systems for geodynamics, is: what is geodynamics? The answer is, of course, that geodynamics is that part of geophysics which is concerned with movements of the Earth, as opposed to geostatics which is the physics of the stationary Earth. But as far as we know, there is no stationary Earth – epur sic monere. So geodynamics is actually coextensive with geophysics, and coordinate systems suitable for the one should be suitable for the other. At the present time, there are not many coordinate systems, if any, that can be identified with a static Earth. Certainly the only coordinate of aeronomic (atmospheric) interest is the height, and this is usually either as geodynamic height or as pressure. In oceanology, the most important coordinate is depth, and this, like heights in the atmosphere, is expressed as metric depth from mean sea level, as geodynamic depth, or as pressure. Only for the earth do we find “static” systems in use, ana even here there is real question as to whether the systems are dynamic or static. So it would seem that our answer to the question, of what kind, of coordinate systems are we seeking, must be that we are looking for the same systems as are used in geophysics, and these systems are dynamic in nature already – that is, their definition involvestime.
