Culture and Human-Robot Interaction in Militarized Spaces
Author: Dr Julie CarpenterPublisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 1472443136
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) personnel are some of the most highly trained people in the military, with a job description that spans defusing unexploded ordnance to protecting VIP’s and state dignitaries. EOD are also one of the first military groups to work with robots every day. These robots have become an increasingly important tool in EOD work, enabling people to work at safer distances in many dangerous situations. Based on exploratory research investigating interactions between EOD personnel and the robots they use, this study richly describes the nuances of these reciprocal influences, especially those related to operator emotion associated with the robots. In particular, this book examines the activities, processes and contexts that influence or constrain everyday EOD human-robot interactions, what human factors are shaping the (robotic) technology and how people and culture are being changed by using it. The findings from this research have implications for future personnel training, and the refinement of robot design considerations for many fields that rely on critical small group communication and decision-making skills.
Health System Performance Comparison: an Agenda for Policy, Information and Research
Author: Irene PapanicolasPublisher: McGraw-Hill Education (UK)
ISBN: 033524727X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
International comparison of health system performance has become increasingly popular, made possible by the rapidly expanding availability of health data. It has become one of the most important levers for prompting health system reform. Yet, as the demand for transparency and accountability in healthcare increases, so too does the need to compare data from different health systems both accurately and meaningfully. This timely and authoritative book offers an important summary of the current developments in health system performance comparison. It summarises the current state of efforts to compare systems, and identifies and explores the practical and conceptual challenges that occur. It discusses data and methodological challenges, as well as broader issues such as the interface between evidence and practice. The book draws out the priorities for future work on performance comparison, in the development of data sources and measurement instruments, analytic methodology, and assessment of evidence on performance. It concludes by presenting the key lessons and future priorities, and in doing so offers a rich source of material for policy-makers, their analytic advisors, international agencies, academics and students of health systems.

The Electronics of Radio
Author: David RutledgePublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521646451
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
This fascinating book provides a stimulating introduction to analog electronics by analysing the design and construction of a radio transceiver. Essential theoretical background is given along with carefully designed laboratory and homework exercises. The author begins with a thorough description of basic electronic components and simple circuits and goes on to describe the key elements of radio electronics, including filters, amplifiers, oscillators, mixers, and antennas. Laboratory exercises lead the reader through the design, construction, and testing of a popular radio transceiver (the NorCal 40A). A diskette containing the widely known circuit simulation software, Puff, is included in the book. This was the first book to deal with elementary electronics in the context of radio. It can be used as a textbook for introductory analog electronics courses, for more advanced undergraduate classes on radio-frequency electronics, and will also be of great interest to electronics hobbyists and radio enthusiasts.

Hollow-State Design 2nd Edition
Author: Grayson EvansPublisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1300965215
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Discover (or rediscover) the fun and magic of building electronic circuits with thermatrons (vacuum tubes). This book has everything you need to know about the art and science of thermatron design and construction. It pulls together, in one easy to read book, thermatron types and characteristics, thermatron homebrew techniques, and how to design audio and RF triode and pentode circuits. The book is written primarily for radio amateurs (or audio equipment builders) that already understands basic electronics but have forgotten or never had the pleasure of working with hollow-state devices. The Second Edition includes over 50+ pages of new and revised material including a new chapter on thermatron oscillator design.
