Assessment of Computer Modeling of Operator Mental Workload during Target Acquisition

The predictive validity of computer simulation modeling of operator mental workload and situational awareness (SA) during a simulated air-to-ground combat mission was assessed in the present study. In Phase I, 12 participants completed a series of combat missions in a laboratory flight simulator and provided subjective ratings of workload (using the SWAT) and SA (using the SART). In Phase II, computer models of the mission were constructed using the Micro Saint modeling tool. The visual, auditory, kinesthetic, cognitive, and psychomotor components of the workload associated with each task were estimated and used to obtain measures of average and peak workload. The results from the simulated combat missions versus the Micro Saint models were similar but not identical, indicating that the computer models were partially but not completely valid predictors of mental workload and SA. The computer modeling appeared to be a more effective predictor of SA rather than mental workload.

Computer modeling of the wrist has followed other fields in the search for descriptive methods to understand the biomechanics of injury. Using patient-specific 3D computer models, we may better understand the biomechanics of wrist fractures in order to plan better care. We may better estimate fracture morphology and stability and evaluate surgical indications, design more adequate or effective surgical approaches and develop novel methods of therapy. The purpose of this review is to question the actual advances made in the understanding of wrist fractures using computer models.

Asynchronous Motors

The most widely used single-phase asynchronous motors are described and also substitution and vector dia-grams are reviewed. Theoretical and mathematical descriptions of processes of controlling and enabling asynchronous modes of operation were provided, on the basis of which computer models of a single-phase asynchronous motor in static and dynamic modes was created in the Matlab program. Experiments were per-formed on the real and virtual models, and the data obtained were processed and compared to confirm the adequacy of the developed virtual model.

Distribution Of Income

Why do people have conflicting views of equality concerning the distribution of income, wealth, and satisfaction of vital needs? How do people form and sometimes change their views of equality and related issues, such as gender identity? Answers to such questions can benefit from cognitive science—the interdisciplinary field that includes neuroscience and computer modeling as well as psychology. According to principles of emotional coherence, attitudes develop and change because of connections among the values attached to systems of concepts, beliefs, and goals. People attach a positive value to concepts such as equality, if the concept fits with other positive concepts such as human needs, and opposes negative concepts such as poverty. Emotional coherence balances positive and negative values to yield an overall conclusion. Computer models based on emotional coherence explain people’s differing attitudes about equality and issues such as transgender rights. They also model how people sometimes change their minds.
