FSA Based Analysis of Deck Officers’ Non-Technical Skills in Crisis Situations
A review of maritime accidents conducted in 2006 confirms that human error is the main contributing factor in maritime accidents. This study illustrates that major maritime accidents are not caused by technical problems but by failure of the crew to respond to the situation …

APPLICATION OF FORMAL SAFETY ASSESSMENT FOR DRY DOCKING EVOLUTION
… for the application of Formal Safety Assessment (FSA). Such models are subsequently demonstrated by their corresponding case studies with regards to application of FSA for ship docking evolution. Firstly, in this research a generic floating-graving docking model is constructed for the purpose of …

Automated test sequence generation for finite state machines using genetic algorithms
… formally specified using finite state automata (FSA) has been of interest. Such systems include communication protocols and control sections of safety critical systems. There is extensive literature regarding how to formally validate an FSM based specification, but testing that an implementation …

Rapid evaluation of pathology using nonlinear microscopy with applications in breast cancer, prostate cancer, and renal disease
Frozen section analysis (FSA) is used intraoperatively for rapid evaluation of surgical tissue. In FSA, excised tissue is rapidly frozen, sectioned using a microtome, stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and evaluated by a pathologist. FSA requires ~20 minutes for the first specimen to be …

Michigan Black farm owners perceptions about farm ownership credit acquisition : a critical race analysis
… of mistrust with the Farm Service Agency (FSA) impacts farm loan preference for these Black farm owners. FSA may not be "the lender of last resort" for these farmers due to historical discriminatory lending and lack of access to pertinent information that often doesn't reach small, Black …

A critical analysis of fiscal stability agreements as offered in the tenth schedule of the income tax act for energy companies in South Africa in light of recent oil and gas finds in South Africa
… the role of fiscal stability agreements (“FSA”). Under the Tenth Schedule, South Africa offers FSAs which allows for the “freezing” of the Income tax provisions when the FSA was signed i.e. even if there is a new tax regime, the investor may elect to continue to use the old tax regime. …

Supporting interactive system testing with interaction sequences
… of these sequences using Finite State Automata (FSA). We introduce the self-containment property and show how this is used to control the size and state space of FSA. We demonstrate simulating interaction sequences and discuss how these models can be applied within both model checking and testing …
