In the modern time of software engineering, the development of software in static and dynamic environment results in several vulnerabilities that need to be handled so that they do not step in with the clear defined project goals. Previous studies show that the wide variety of different risk analysis strategies provide a valid solution to address the lack of risk management strategies in Softwa...

ZHANG, TAO. Using Measures of Situation Awareness to Characterize Mental Models in Inductive Reasoning Tasks. (Under the direction of Dr. David B. Kaber.) Mental models have been proposed in both the cognitive psychology and human factors literature. However, they have been applied for a variety of related but distinct representations. For system design and user training in practical applicatio...

Security assessment (SA) refers to the analysis required to determine whether or not a power system can meet specified reliability and security criteria in both transient and steady-state time frames for all credible contingencies. This paper proposed a review in application of artificial neural network (ANN) in power system security assessment. Systems security identification, neural network c...

Mechanical stimuli obviously affect disc nucleus pulposus (NP) biology. Previous studies have indicated that static compression exhibits detrimental effects on disc biology compared with dynamic compression. To study disc NP cell senescence under static compression and dynamic compression in a disc organ culture, porcine discs were cultured and subjected to compression (static compression: 0.4 ...

The impact of access to information through advanced information and communication technology was assessed in a study involving the Ground-Based Air Defence Command Post (GBAD CP). At present the GBAD CP obtains information about aircraft and their movements by HF radio. In the study, digital data was directly transmitted to the GBAD CP. Its effect on the situation awareness (SA) of the Command...
