This paper presents a new approach to understanding mental models for complex industrial systems. Using the Abstraction Hierarchy (AH) framework as a way to describe mental models, we propose an approach to assess ecological compatibility between an operator's internal mental model and a model of the environment. In order to do so, we have combined and built upon the previous work of Rasmussen (1979) and Moray (1996). We believe that this new approach can assess ecological compatibility and ultimately provide the operator with a more accurate and complete internal mental model that reflects the reality of the environment. We argue that Ecological interfacedesign (EID) is a way to link mental models and the environment. Future work will be needed in order to assess ecological compatibility. This includes capturing and examining operators' internal mental models, and comparing them with models of the environment.

The interface coherence between precipitates and the matrix—whether coherent, semi-coherent, or incoherent—significantly impacts both the strength and ductility of metallic materials. An optimal balance between these properties can be achieved through manipulation of the precipitate/matrix interface. In this study, 1 wt.% and 2 wt.% TiN nanoparticles were introduced into a laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) fabricated CoCrMoW alloy as a reinforcing phase. Compared to the unreinforced alloy, the alloy with 1 wt.% TiN exhibited substantial improvements in yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and fracture elongation, increasing from 876 MPa, 1190 MPa, and 15 % to 1071 MPa, 1421 MPa, and 17 %, respectively. Although the addition of TiN nanoparticles did not significantly affect the average grain size, it inhibited the formation of fine grains at the fusion line and influenced the overall grain size distribution. More importantly, the incorporation of TiN nanoparticles during the LPBF process led to the in-situ formation of semi-coherent precipitates rich in Ti and N, as well as coherent precipitates rich in Ti, N, and O. The semi-coherent precipitates, which exhibit well-defined orientation relationships and periodic misfit dislocations, enhanced strength by blocking stacking faults and ε laths. They also preserved plasticity by promoting self-relaxation through twinning at intersected areas, thus preventing crack nucleation at the interface. Furthermore, the chemical inhomogeneity between the coherent phase and the matrix increased resistance to dislocation cutting of the precipitates, thereby improving the material’s strength without compromising ductility.

In this correspondence we propose two modifications to the block truncation coding techniques. The first modification allows the partitioning of the image into variable size blocks rather than fixed size. The second modification is the use of an optimal threshold to quantize the blocks based on minimizing the mean square error.

Computer networks are pervasive and critical to the operation of today's businesses. While most of us take computer networks for granted, network managers who must configure, operate, and fix faults in computer networks face a daunting task that becomes more complex everyday. Ecological interfacedesign has been shown to be a promising approach for complex systems such as power plants or petrochemical systems. Computer networks are a very different work domain characterized by rapid technological change, extreme decentralization, and the existence of "soft" components. This paper presents the first work domain analysis of this new domain creating an abstraction hierarchy for general signal transfer systems and general computing networks. It shows how the abstraction hierarchy can be applied to this new domain and presents the initial work on an ecological interfacedesign for network management.

The present investigation has revealed that the misorientation angle can change locally and systematically along a grain boundary due to the interaction with sub-boundaries in coarse-grained YBCO grown by the MPMG process. More detailed analysis of grain boundary character is required for engineering grain boundaries in superconducting polycrystalline YBCO.

This paper applies Work Domain Analysis (WDA) to the aviation domain. We developed a two-dimensional work domain model of the Harvard aircraft as the primary phase of our Ecological interfacedesign (EID) process. In contrast to previous work, we modelled the entire aircraft as the work domain. The work domain analysis was followed by an instrumentation availability analysis. We developed a model for the variables derived from the WDA to classify the state of those variables according to their availability and measurement. We also have the opportunity, in our future work, to flight test the ecological displays, something that has not occurred before.

This paper describes Work Domain Analysis (WDA) applied to the domain of automated midair collision detection and avoidance as a first step in the design of improved ecological interfaces for automated traffic alerting displays. Three abstraction hierarchies (AH) modelling the aircraft, collision environment, and a traffic alerting system are presented, and the challenges of adapting the AH to enhanced displays will be examined. It will be shown that WDA is a feasible framework for establishing information requirements of flight and automated collision dynamics. Ecological interfacedesign (EID) can then be applied to develop displays that invoke a greater trust in the automation.
