“…For instance, the three papers evaluating display design in the petrochemical industry (Adhitya et al, 2014;Jamieson, 2007;Laberge et al, 2014) all evaluated speed and accuracy but did not include performance-shaping measures that could explain those outcomes. In the nuclear industry domain, a few researchers have combined speed and accuracy measurement with workload ratings and SA measurement (e.g., Huang et al, 2007;Yang et al, 2012). Both of those research groups used the NASA-TLX for workload measurement, but their SA tools were not well defined in the publications.…”

“…Workload is multi-dimensional, and subjective workload assessment can complement objective performance measurements by providing insight into how operators react to various work demands. Researchers have assessed subjective workload required with displays in nuclear power control rooms (e.g., Huang et al, 2007;Yang et al, 2012), demonstrating the potential application to other control room settings.…”

“…High SA has been shown to improve safety in aviation control rooms (i.e., traffic control) by reducing the number of mistakes and accidents (Stanton et al, 2001). SA has been measured in control rooms in the nuclear power industry (e.g., Huang et al, 2007;Kim et al, 2012;Yang et al, 2012), though no examples specific to the petrochemical industry could be found readily.…”

“…The PCTran is a software package released by Micro‐Simulation Technology (Montville, NJ) that can simulate a variety of accident and transient conditions for NPPs. The PCTran platform used in this study is a modified version of studies by Huang et al (2006; 2007). It is used to investigate the effects of the level of automation on human performance and subjective ratings.…”

We tested the hypothesis that unloading the left ventricle just prior to reperfusion provides infarct size reduction compared with left ventricular (LV) unloading postreperfusion and reperfusion alone. Twenty-four mongrel dogs were subjected to 2 hr of left anterior descending artery occlusion and 4 hr of reperfusion. A transvalvular (TV) left ventricular assist device (LVAD) was inserted just prior to reperfusion and maintained during the rest of the experiment (LV Assist Pre group). In the LV Assist Post group, the TV LVAD was inserted and activated just after reperfusion. A control group was subjected to reperfusion alone with a sham-TV LVAD. At baseline, the hemodynamic data were similar in the three groups. Myocardial infarct size expressed as percentage of area at risk was significantly reduced in the LV Assist Pre group compared to the control group (P = 0.011) and to the LV Assist Post group (P < 0.05). At 4 hr of reperfusion, transmural myocardial blood flow in the ischemic zone was slightly higher in the animals unloaded prior to reperfusion compared to controls and significantly higher than in the LV Assist Post group (P = 0.04). Postreperfusion end-diastolic wall thickness returned to baseline level in the TV LV Assist Pre group compared to both controls and TV LV Assist Post group. In these latter two groups, a significant increase in postreperfusion end-diastolic wall thickness and contraction band necrosis in the central ischemic zone correlated well with the degree of reperfusion injury. LV unloading prior to, but not after, reperfusion reduces the extent of myocardial necrosis in canine hearts subjected to 2 hr of left anterior descending artery occlusion and 4 hr of reperfusion compared to either reperfusion alone or LV unloading after reperfusion.

“…Taking an inappropriate action might include the control room operator calling field operators to fix equipment that is in an unsafe state because the CPs have changed the equipment setting without operator awareness. For example, when a return-to-normal alarm is reset automatically by CPs, operators may not be aware that such an alarm had sounded, hindering the operator's comprehension and prediction of the plant state [17].…”

Continuous, non-invasive workload indicators of operators is an essential component for dynamically assigning appropriate amount of tasks between automation and operators to prevent overload and out-of-the-loop problems in computer-based procedures. This article examines the monitoring task difficulty manipulated by the task type and load, and explores physiological measurements in relation to mental workload. In a within-subject design experiment, forty-five university students performed monitoring tasks in simulated nuclear power plants (NPPs) control room. The performance of monitoring tasks (accuracy), subjective mental workload (NASA Task Load Index), as well as four eye-related physiological indices were measured and analyzed. The results show that as monitoring task difficulty increased, task performance significantly decreased while NASA-TLX, number of fixations, and dwell time significantly increased. Number of fixations and dwell time could be effective, non-invasive continuous indicators of workload for enabling adaptive computerbased procedures.
