To understand expertise and expertise development, interactions between knowledge, cognitive processing and task characteristics must be examined in people at different levels of training, experience, and performance. Interviewing is widely used in the initial exploration of domain expertise. Work and cognitive task analysis chart the knowledge, skills, and strategies experts employ to perform ...

Unsupervised sequence learning is important to many applications. A learner is presented with unlabeled sequential data, and must discover sequential patterns that characterize the data. Popular approaches to such learning include (and often combine) frequency-based approaches and statistical analysis. However, the quality of results is often far from satisfactory. Though most previous investig...

The reliability data is getting used to monitor and improve the quality of products or services. Nowadays, most of products or services are the results of processes with dependent stages referred to as multi-stage process. In these processes, the quality characteristics are affected by the quality characteristics in the previous stages, called as cascade property. In some cases, it is not possi...

Knowledge of activated sludge biokinetic parameters is important to simulate the behaviour of an activated sludge plant with the commonly used IAWQ models (e.g. Henze et al., 1987). Batch experiments using pulse substrate additions in a small bioreactor are often applied to collect data about activated sludge behaviour. However, many of the experiments that were designed in the past suffer from...

In the crisis management environment, tunnel vision is a set of bias in decision makers’ cognitive process which often leads to incorrect understanding of the real crisis situation, biased perception of information, and improper decisions. The tunnel vision phenomenon is a consequence of both the challenges in the task and the natural limitation in a human being’s cognitive process. An informat...
