Contemporary Ergonomics and Human Factors 2015 Proceedings of the International Conference on Ergonomics & Human Factors 2015 Daventry Nor

Ergonomics and human factors is the discipline concerned with the application of scientifc knowledge to improve people‘s interaction with products systems and environments. This book presents the proceedings of the international conference Ergonomics and Human Factors 2015 the 29th year in which a volume in the Contemporary Ergonomics series has appeared. In addition to being the leading event in the UK that features ergonomics and human factors across all sectors this is also the annual conference of the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors (CIEHF). The scope and breadth of ergonomics and human factors continues to expand at a rapid pace. Contemporary Ergonomics and Human Factors 2015 reflects many of these developments and includes contributions covering the latest work in healthcare transportation defence stress manufacturing design and health and safety. There are also developments in data analytics culture and complexity. This book also celebrates the long tradition of work in ergonomics and human factors which began with the formation of the Ergonomics Research Society in 1949 and culminated in 2015 with a Royal Charter. This has conferred recognition at the highest level of the uniqueness and value of our scientifc discipline and the preeminent role of the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors in representing both the discipline and the profession. As well as being of interest to mainstream ergonomists and human factors specialists Contemporary Ergonomics and Human Factors 2015 will appeal to those concerned with people‘s interaction with their working and leisure environment including designers manufacturing and production engineers health and safety specialists occupational applied and industrial psychologists and applied physiologists. | Contemporary Ergonomics and Human Factors 2015 Proceedings of the International Conference on Ergonomics & Human Factors 2015 Daventry Nor

Biology of Fishes

Biology of Fishes

The Third Edition of Biology of Fishes is chiefly about fish as remarkably efficient machines for coping with the many problems that life in water entails and looks at many such special cases. Fishes form the largest group of vertebrates with around 20 000 known species and they display a remarkable diversity of size shape internal structure and ecology to cope with environments ranging from transient puddles to the abyssal depths of the sea. Biology of Fishes does not try to cover all aspects of fish biology but focuses on the ingenious ways in which fish have resolved the particular problems that come from living in water especially body fluid regulation locomotion feeding mechanisms and sensory systems. Enough detail is provided for the reader to be able to go on and use primary research papers. Each chapter has been thoroughly updated and a new chapter on the immune system has been added. This is an ideal textbook for students of fish biology and any of the branches of aquatic biology. Given its skilful combination of breadth and detail the book also provides a manageable review of fish biology for experienced biologists.

The Stakeholder Perspective Relationship Management to Increase Value and Success Rates of Projects

The Stakeholder Perspective Relationship Management to Increase Value and Success Rates of Projects

The Stakeholder Perspective places people at the center of both projects and project management. It gives to the project management community a helpful innovative stakeholder-centered approach to increase projects’ delivered value and success rate. It presents a logical model also called the Stakeholder Perspective which acts as the reference point in a structured path to effectiveness. Starting from the analysis of a project’s stakeholders the model integrates both rational and relational innovative approaches. Its continuous focus on stakeholder requirements and expectations helps to set a proper path and to maintain it in order to target success and to achieve goals in a variety of projects with different size and complexity. The book presents a set of innovative and immediately applicable techniques for effective stakeholder identification and classification as well as analysis of stakeholder requirements and expectations key stakeholders management stakeholder network management and more generally stakeholder relationship management. The proposed stakeholder classification model consists of just four communities each one based on the commonality of main interests and behavior. This model features an accurate and stable identification process to increase effective communication and drastic reduce relationship complexity. A systemic approach is proposed to analyze both stakeholder requirements and expectations. The approach aids in detecting otherwise unclear stakeholder requirements and/or hidden stakeholder expectations. An interactive communication model is presented along with its individual and organizational frames of reference. Also presented are relevant cues to maximize effective and purposeful communication with key stakeholders as well as with the stakeholder network. The importance of satisfying not only the project requirements but also the stakeholder expectations is demonstrated to be the critical success factor in all projects. An innovative approach based on the perceived value and key performance indicators shows how to manage different levels of project complexity. The book also defines a complete structured path to relationship effectiveness called Relationship Management Project which can be tailored to enhance stakeholder and communication management processes in each one of the project management process groups (i. e. initiating planning executing monitoring and controlling and closing). The book concludes with a look ahead at Project Management X. 0 and the stakeholder-centered evolution of both project and portfolio management. | The Stakeholder Perspective Relationship Management to Increase Value and Success Rates of Projects

Selling Architectural Ideas

Selling Architectural Ideas

As 'visual animals' architects continue to live and work in a pictorial age in which image-making remains the central activity of environmental design. Selling Architectural Ideas explores the promotional role of architectural graphics and drawing at the point of communication i. e. at their point of sale. By substituting the words 'communication' and 'presentation' with the word 'selling' we confront the reality of a highly competitive world in which the process of creating images for selling architectural ideas is approached as a more persuasive and therefore more successful design tool.
