Nice Guys Finish Fast And Bad Guys Finish Last: Facilitatory Vs. Inhibitory Interaction In Parallel Systems, Ami Eidels, Joseph W. Houpt, Nicholas Altieri, Lei Pei, James T. Townsend

Psychology Faculty Publications

Systems Factorial Technology is a powerful framework for investigating the fundamental properties of human information processing such as architecture (i.e., serial or parallel processing) and capacity (how processing efficiency is affected by increased workload). The Survivor Interaction Contrast (SIC) and the Capacity Coefficient are effective measures in determining these underlying properties, based on response-time data. Each of the different architectures, under the assumption of independent processing, predicts a specific form of the SIC along with some range of capacity. In this study, we explored SIC predictions of discrete-state (Markov process) and continuous-state (Linear Dynamic) models that allow for certain types …

Identifying And Implementing The Underlying Operators For Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Based Metabolomics Data Analysis, Ashwin Manjunatha, Ajith H. Ranabahu, Paul E. Anderson, Amit P. Sheth

Kno.e.sis Publications

The science of metabolomics is a relatively young field that requires intensive signal processing and multivariate data analysis for interpretation of experimental results. The lack of integration and standardization for metabolomics compounded by the complexity of the experimental data has lead to a fragmented research community. While efforts have been undertaken to approach these problems, the efforts to develop a set of standards for reporting processing and analysis procedures has stalled.

In this paper, we propose a set of fundamental operators for nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) based metabolomics. These operators are implementation independent, and can be used to easily and precisely …

Quantitative Interpretation Of A Genetic Model Of Carcinogenesis Using Computer Simulations, Donghai Dai, Brandon Beck, Xiaofang Wang, Cory Howk, Yi Li

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

The genetic model of tumorigenesis by Vogelstein et al. (V theory) and the molecular definition of cancer hallmarks by Hanahan and Weinberg (W theory) represent two of the most comprehensive and systemic understandings of cancer. Here, we develop a mathematical model that quantitatively interprets these seminal cancer theories, starting from a set of equations describing the short life cycle of an individual cell in uterine epithelium during tissue regeneration. The process of malignant transformation of an individual cell is followed and the tissue (or tumor) is described as a composite of individual cells in order to quantitatively account for intra-tumor …

Intergroup Prisoner’S Dilemma With Intragroup Power Dynamics, Ion Juvina, Christian Lebiere, Jolie M. Martin, Cleotilde Gonzalez

Psychology Faculty Publications

The Intergroup Prisoner’s Dilemma with Intragroup Power Dynamics (IPD^2) is a new game paradigm for studying human behavior in conflict situations. IPD^2 adds the concept of intragroup power to an intergroup version of the standard Repeated Prisoner’s Dilemma game. We conducted a laboratory study in which individual human participants played the game against computer strategies of various complexities. The results show that participants tend to cooperate more when they have greater power status within their groups. IPD^2 yields increasing levels of mutual cooperation and decreasing levels of mutual defection, in contrast to a variant of Intergroup Prisoner’s Dilemma without intragroup …

Episodic Tremors And Slip In Cascadia In The Framework Of The Frenkel-Kontorova Model, Naum I. Gershenzon, Gust Bambakidis, Ernest Hauser, Abhijit Ghosh, Kenneth C. Creager

Physics Faculty Publications

The seismic moment for regular earthquakes is proportional to the cube of rupture time. A second class of phenomena, collectively called slow earthquakes, has very different scaling. We propose a model, inspired from the phenomenology of dislocation dynamics in crystals, that is consistent with the scaling relations observed in the Cascadia episodic tremor and slip (ETS) events. Two fundamental features of ETS are periodicity and migration. In the northern Cascadia subduction zone, ETS events appear every 14.5 months or so. During these events, tremors migrate along-strike with a velocity of 10 km/day and simultaneously zip back and forth in the …

Visual Vs. Auditory Memory In An Aviation Task: A Potential Performance Theory Analysis, Gayle Hunt, Stephen Rice, David Trafimow, Jeremy Schwark, Joshua Sandry, Lisa Busche, Kasha Geels

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2011

Information can be relayed to pilots by visual presentation or auditory presentation; both methods are frequently used. To date, there is quite a bit of conflicting literature regarding which type of communication is most effective for recalling information. The current study tested memory differences between digits presented visually or audibly in number strings. Results showed that performance in the visual presentation condition was superior to the auditory presentation condition. However, when a PPT analysis was conducted on the data, it was revealed that performance in the visual condition was only superior because participants were more consistent in that condition compared …

Development Of A Model Of Airline Consumer Satisfaction, Dr. Erin E. Bowen, Dr. Brent D. Bowen, Dr. Dean E. Headley

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2011

Previous research on perceptions, satisfaction, and attitudes regarding the major commercial air carriers in the United States has provided little more than an interesting descriptive “snapshot” of the average air traveler. Building upon 20 years of work with the National Airline Quality Rating, the present study attempts to move beyond basic descriptive information of air travelers to identify attitudinal patterns and relationships in the way consumers at varying levels of travel frequency view the commercial air industry. Development of such a model allows key players the ability to improve their understanding of the prime drivers and perceptions of passenger behavior. …

Later, after flying for a major airline and completing his certificate in Aviation Safety at USC, the author worked with the NTSB on major accident investigations and started to observe the link between aviation human factors, safety analysis, and the similarities between accident investigation skills and the …

Fractal Time Series Analysis Of Human Heartbeat Intervals For Physical And Mental Workload, Sheldon M. Russell, Gregory J. Funke, Benjamin A. Knott, Matt Middendorf

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2011

As the environments and tasks that teams (in both military and civilian settings) are faced with increase in complexity, standard statistical methods may not fully capture team dynamics and processes. Nonlinear analyses provide alternative, mathematically derived descriptions quantifying the level of complexity and variability inherent in a data set, and may provide a more accurate understanding of dynamic systems. The goal of the present study was to investigate changes in heart interbeat interval associated with task workload using one type of nonlinear analysis, power spectral density analysis. In this study, physical and mental workload were manipulated in separate tasks to …

Knowledge Tests For Ab-Initio Pilot Selection In Civil Aviation, Oliver Zierke

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2011

A validity study was conducted for two purposes: to evaluate the importance of knowledge tests for pilot selection and to validate the knowledge tests of the German Aerospace Center. The two criteria were a theoretical test given in the Flight Training School and the overall graduation rate. Regression models were calculated to measure the incremental validity of knowledge tests beyond ability tests. A further question addressed the comparison of the predictive validity of knowledge tests and school grades. Knowledge tests contributed 12% incremental validity and thus yielded similar results to school grades (17%). Both regression and dropout analyses revealed knowledge …

Using Physiological Measures To Improve Training For Uav Operators, Jane H. Barrow, Carryl L. Baldwin, Daniel M. Roberts, Brian A. Taylor, Ciara Sibley, Joseph T. Coyne, Anna Mandulak, George Buzzell, Nick Penaranda

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2011

The current research examined use of frontal asymmetry measures of electroencephalography (EEG) activity to assess operator motivational intensity during training of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operators. Participants performed a series of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions of graduated difficulty. Results demonstrate that frontal asymmetry in conjunction with behavioral measures provides a valuable tool for determining learner workload and motivational intensity. Implications for the use of frontal asymmetry metrics to drive real-time adaptive training are discussed.

Solution Space-Based Complexity Analysis For Context Aware Automation, J. Comans, C. Borst, M.M. Van Paassen, M. Mulder

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2011

Despite the huge advances in aviation automation and avionics over the last decades, the f ight deck is sometimes still unaware of the ‘bigger picture’. Current automation is not yet able to understand the intentions of the pilots or the intricacies of the environment it is operating in. When we want to increase the level of automation support, automation systems will need more context awareness. This paper will only focus on a small subset of the operational context, namely the complexity induced by surrounding traff c. To capture the constraints imposed by the surrounding traff c, we use a tool …

Developing Asap (Anticipation Support For Aeronautical Planning), Sami Lini, Pierre-Alexandre Favier, Xavier Servantie, Bruno Vallespir, Sylvain Hourlier

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2011

The 2009 A320 ditching on the Hudson River revealed to the public that critical decision-making ability was a key asset for pilots. Situation awareness and workload management are two key elements as well as the ability to anticipate how the situation will evolve. Thales Avionics is funding research through its HF research Lab (HEAL) on HMI facilitating pilot anticipation. This presentation covers a literature review on anticipation so as to develop a model of anticipation in a realistic flying task. Analyzing the concept of anticipation leads us to consider it as a metacognitive process relying on cognitive resource management, situation …
