This volume includes all the papers that were presented at the Annual Conference of the European Association of Cognitive Ergonomics, EACE 2005, which has incorporated the 10th Conference on Cognitive Science Aspects of Process Control and the 13th European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics.During 25 years of research and practice, Cognitive Ergonomics has matured and broadened its domains of study and intervention, to include not only process control domains, but also educational, medical, administrative, engineering design, leisure and other domains. These new worlds of study are typically less tightly coupled than the traditional ones; as a consequence new theoretical and methodological questions emerge:- are the traditional approaches appropriate for intervening in these new worlds?- which theories are best adapted for a sufficient understanding of these new worlds?- how to frame the world studied, i.e. what boundaries to consider in order to effectively identify what counts for the human agents behaviour?- which should be the unit of analysis?- how to achieve design recommendations which fit to the local work ecology of the studied world and/or change it towards desired directions?- when should one stop the analysis and start the design?The papers presented at the EACE 2005 Conference and included in this volume, either tackle these questions directly, discussing theoretical and methodological issues per-se, or present research results and case studies, giving the reader the opportunity to reflect over the merits and flaws of specific theoretical frameworks and methods, when they are applied in specific worlds.The papers are grouped in three sections and follow their order of presentation at the conference. The first section includes theoretical / methodological papers as well as research and design studies dealing with a broad spectrum of work domains. In the second section are grouped the papers which present research and applications in the medical domain. Finally, the third section includes the papers presented and discussed within the Doctoral Forum of the Conference.

The practical reference book and guide to fans, ventilation and ancillary equipment with a comprehensive buyers' guide to worldwide manufacturers and suppliers. Bill Cory, well-known throughout the fans and ventilation industry, has produced a comprehensive, practical reference with a broad scope: types of fans, how and why they work, ductwork, performance standards, testing, stressing, shafts and bearings. With advances in technology, manufacturers have had to continually improve the performance and efficiency of fans and ventilation systems; as a result, improvements that onc

In March of 2001, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in conjunction with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), engaged Gannett Fleming, Inc., to develop the first ever Tunnel Management System to benefit both highway and rail transit tunnel owners throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Specifically, these federal agencies, acting as ONE DOT, set a common goal to provide uniformity and consistency in assessing the physical condition of the various tunnel components. It is commonly understood that numerous tunnels in the United States are more than 50 years old and are beginning to show signs of considerable deterioration, especially due to water infiltration. In addition, it is desired that good maintenance and rehabilitation practices be presented that would aid tunnel owners in the repair of identified deficiencies. To accomplish these ONE DOT goals, Gannett Fleming, Inc., was tasked to produce an Inspection Manual, a Maintenance and Rehabilitation Manual, and a computerized database wherein all inventory, inspection, and repair data could be collected and stored for historical purposes. This manual provides specific information for the inspection of both highway and rail transit tunnels. Although several components are similar in both types of tunnels, a few elements are specific to either highway or rail transit tunnels and are defined accordingly. The following paragraphs explain the specific subjects covered along with procedural recommendations that are contained in this manual.
