Craftsmanship on the engine lathe in the context of four small western Pennsylvania machine shops is examined in terms of behaviors associated with lathe operation, the technological specialization…
Engineering the Man-Machine Interface for Air Traffic Control
TLDR
The FAA has adopted a method-ology' that has been carefully integrated into the program that represents a bold step toward engineering the MMI with the user as the starting point.
A Framework for Integrating Multiple Construction Robots
TLDR
This paper presents a speculative framework that embodies multiple robots carrying out construction tasks, and explains how the framework enhances modeling, interpretation, and strategic and tactical planning.

Nearwork and visual well-being: A possible contribution of neuroscience
TLDR
The relationship between nearwork and overloading of the accommodation/vergence mechanisms surely represents an important issue to be cooperatively investigated by vision researchers, neuroscientists and occupational health doctors.
Contrast, noise, and blur affect performance and appreciation of digital radiographs
TLDR
One of the conclusions is that the quality judgment was based mainly on blur, whereas the visibility of details was affected mostly by noise.

TLDR
The motor system in the present case is defined as including the visual and proprioceptive feedback loops that permit S to monitor his own activity, and the information capacity of the motor system is specified by its ability to produce consistently one class of movement from among several alternative movement classes.
On the Rate of Gain of Information
TLDR
The principal finding is that the rate of gain of information is, on the average, constant with respect to time, within the duration of one perceptual-motor act, and has a value of the order of five “bits” per second.
