Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills A Practical Guide

Providing a practical guide to the training and assessment of non-technical skills within high-risk industries this book will be of direct interest to safety and training professionals working within aviation healthcare rail maritime and other high-risk industries. Currently each of these industries are working to integrate non-technical skills into their training and certification processes particularly in light of increasing international regulation in this area. However there is no definitive guidance to assist practitioners within these areas with the design of effective non-technical skills training and assessment programs. This book sets out to fully meet this need. It has been designed as a practically focussed companion to the 2008 book Safety at the Sharp End by Flin O'Connor and Crichton. While Safety at the Sharp End provides the definitive exploration of the need for non-technical skills training and examines in detail the main components of non-technical skills as they relate to safe operations the text does not focus on the nuts and bolts of designing training and assessment programs. To this end Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills: A Practical Guide provides an extension of this work and a fitting companion text. | Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills A Practical Guide

An Introduction to Forensic Genetics for Non-geneticists

An Introduction to Forensic Genetics for Non-geneticists

This book aims to enable non-experts in Genetics to understand the contribution of this science to resolve civil or criminal litigations analysing evidence of human and non-human origins. The main difficulties in the comprehension and misuse of the results of Forensic Genetics reside in the lack of effective communication between geneticists and the users of the produced information (as lawyers and judges) and do not arise primarily from the lack of knowledge of genetics. Therefore instead of a classical handbook we use a question-and-answer approach which meets this interfacial essence. Questions that can be addressed by genetic expertise are typified and for each of them we provide the possible expert report presenting the essential biological and statistical genetics background in the form of boxes/appendices along with exemplary cases. Legal ethical and theoretical limitations of Forensic Genetics are discussed formulating questions that cannot or should not be addressed by this applied science. | An Introduction to Forensic Genetics for Non-geneticists

Electrolytes Supramolecular Interactions and Non-Equilibrium Phenomena in Concentrated Solutions

Electrolytes Supramolecular Interactions and Non-Equilibrium Phenomena in Concentrated Solutions

Electrolyte solutions play a key role in traditional chemical industry processes as well as other sciences such as hydrometallurgy geochemistry and crystal chemistry. Knowledge of electrolyte solutions is also key in oil and gas exploration and production as well as many other environmental engineering endeavors. Until recently a gap existed between the electrolyte solution theory dedicated to diluted solutions and the theory practice and technology involving concentrated solutions. Electrolytes: Supramolecular Interactions and Non-Equilibrium Phenomena in Concentrated Solutions addresses concentrated electrolyte solutions and the theory of structure formation super and supramolecular interactions and other physical processes with these solutions—now feasible due to new precision measurement techniques and experimental data that have become available. The first part of the book covers the electrolyte solution in its stationary state—electrostatic and various ion-dipole dipole-dipole and mutual repulsion interactions. The second part covers the electrolyte solution in its nonstationary status in the case of forced movement between two plates—electrical conductivity viscosity and diffusion. This theoretical framework allows for the determination of activity coefficients of concentrated electrolyte solutions which play a key role in many aspects of electrochemistry and for developing novel advanced processes in inorganic chemical plants. | Electrolytes Supramolecular Interactions and Non-Equilibrium Phenomena in Concentrated Solutions
