The Impact of Certified Pool Operator Training on Swimming Pool Inspection Outcomes
… However, the regulations do not require the pool operators or inspectors to be certified. There are 120 counties in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and 20 or 16.6% of them require certified swimming pool operators (CPOs) by county ordinance. There are approximately 11% of the local health department …

Relationship between the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)--and performance in fleet readiness squadron (FRS)--Acoustic Operator training
… 2MK + GS) used to predict eligibility for formal training in the Aviation Antisubmarine Warfare Operator (AW) rating, can actually predict the success or failure of enlisted personnel attempting the P-3 fleet readiness squadron (FRS) Acoustic Operator syllabus. This was accomplished by computing a …

The transition from normal to emergency system states: An examination of variables that generate active learning among operators
A failure by human operators to take an active monitoring role in complex automated systems has resulted in operators who are unable to make a transition from normal scanning behavior to the detection, diagnosis, and correction of system failures during a malfunction. Passive monitoring is common …

Supporting Flight Control for UAV-Assisted Wilderness Search and Rescue Through Human Centered Interface Design
… layer that allows an individual with minimal operator training to use the system to facilitate a search or inspection task. We describe an analysis of WiSAR as currently accomplished and show how a UAV system might fit into the existing structure. We then discuss preliminary system design …

A system framework for non-intrusive monitoring of HMI states for detecting human-in-the-loop error precursors
… automation has had an adverse effect on operator situational awareness (SA) and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) errors. More so, any current automation is not yet capable of providing the level of situational awareness that a human operator can provide and close the ethical responsibility-gap. …

The human factors of automatic speech recognition in control room systems
… due to possible problems of stress on the operators' speech. It is proposed that using ASR will require operators to adapt a commonly used skill to cater for a novel use of speech. Before using the ASR device, new operators will require some form of training. It is shown that a …

Moving and adapting with a learning exoskeleton
… Generating this mapping can be difficult, as operator movements are constrained by the exoskeletons they are trying to control. This problem is particularly significant with upper-body exoskeletons, where high degrees of freedom allow for much less predictable motion than in the lower body. …
