Operator Workload

The Operator Workload (OWL) Program is a just-completed, three-year, basic and applied research effort sponsored by the Army Research Institute (ARI). As part of the Army's research thrust into workload, the OWL Program was directed to establish guidance for the assessment of OWL associated with the operation of Army systems. Its intent was to identify and integrate the most relevant of workload research into a set of practicable workload assessment methods for Army developers, and then apply and validate these methods on selected Army systems. Lessons learned from OWL studies of these systems formed the basis for guidance for Army system developers. This paper overviews the objectives, the accomplishments, and the future prospects of the OWL Program.

Competitive Nature

The Lilly Research Award Program (LRAP) provides academic researchers worldwide with a gate to partner with Lilly internal scientists who are working on basic and applied research to collaboratively advance novel impactful projects. The pre-competitive nature of these projects is the most relevant feature as it permits the shared publication of the research outcomes immediately. In this article, this highly successful initiative is reviewed in the context of general academia-industry collaborations and the lessons learned from different shared projects, in the area of innovative continuous flow chemistry, will be discussed.

Abstract In June 2017, the World Economic Forum published their choice of the top 10 emerging technologies of 2017 [1]. As a chemist who has spent his life in basic and applied research and also many years in innovation and foresight activities, I wanted to know how much chemistry is needed in the future. My first reading of the paper surprised me and made me wonder. Why is chemistry only mentioned once, and then only as an application? So I looked deeper for chemical contributions in the various technologies, and will report in detail here what I found. Direct quotes from the original article [1] are indicated by quotation marks.

Basic And Applied Research

Environmental DNA-based research is undergoing rapid developments, but its democratization in basic and applied research remains hampered by the biases introduced by molecular approaches, the difficulties in estimating absolute organisms’ abundances, and a lack of general consensus in molecular protocols. Chapter 19 “The future of eDNA metabarcoding” provides an overview of these current challenges and discusses how shotgun sequencing, capture-based methods, inclusion of internal standards, and development of new data repositories could alleviate these limits and facilitate cross-experiments comparisons. This chapter finally turns to open questions on the potentiality of new sequencing methods and proposes directions to improve biodiversity estimates and ecological inferences and predictions from eDNA data, and ultimately stimulate further developments and integration of eDNA metabarcoding into academic and operational ecological research and monitoring.

Medical Program

Routine transmission of electrocardiograms and their computer interpretation via long-distance telephone lines has been proven feasible in the Automated Electrocardiogram Project of the Missouri Regional Medical Program. Though this Pilot Project — the first on a state-wide basis — is still viewed as an applied research effort rather than a service, such biotelemetry is rapidly gaining acceptance as a medium to bring modern medicine, through modern technology, to urban and remote rural areas as well, where it is most needed.The computer executes all the wave measuraments and calculations with incredible speed. It takes over a most boring, repetitive part of the physician’s work. However, it can only follow the instructions of the diagnostic program, compiled by expert cardiologists. Thus, it is an ever-ready, never-tiring servant for the physician and his patients.

AbstractUsing the lessons learned from recent military operations such as Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR) from Syria and Iraq, we proposed to investigate the need for tactical military units to adapt operationally to grapple with the most common requirements specific to current operational environments, but also for those that can be foreseen in the future. In this regard, by identifying the best practices in the field that can be met at the level of some important armies, such as USA and UK, we will try to determine a common denominator of most important principles whose application may facilitate both operational and organizational adaptation necessary for tactical military units to perform missions and tasks in the most unknown future operational environments.
