The Professionalization of Risk Management: What Role can the ISO 31000 Risk Management Principles Play?
Inhibiting multiple mode vibration in controlled flexible systems
Viewgraphs on inhibiting multiple mode vibration in controlled flexible systems are presented. Topics covered include: input pre-shaping background; developing multiple-mode shapers; Middeck Active Control Experiment (MACE) test article; and tests and results
Implementation of input command shaping to reduce vibration in flexible space structures
Viewgraphs on implementation of input command shaping to reduce vibration in flexible space structures are presented. Goals of the research are to explore theory of input command shaping to find an efficient algorithm for flexible space structures; to characterize Middeck Active Control Experiment (MACE) test article; and to implement input shaper on the MACE structure and interpret results. Background on input shaping, simulation results, experimental results, and future work are included
Inclusion at Scale: Deploying a Community-Driven Moderation Intervention on Twitch
Harassment, especially of marginalized individuals, on networked gaming and social media platforms has been identified as a significant issue, yet few HCI practitioners have attempted to create interventions tackling toxicity online. Aligning ourselves with the growing cohort of design activists, we present a case study of the GLHF pledge, an interactive public awareness campaign promoting positivity in video game live streaming. We discuss the design and deployment of a community-driven moderation intervention for GLHF, intended to empower the inclusive communities emerging on Twitch. After offering a preliminary report on the effects we have observed based on the more than 370,000 gamers who have participated to date, the paper concludes with a reflection on the challenges and opportunities of using design activism to positively intervene in large-scale media platforms
A Zero-placement Technique for Designing Shaped Inputs to Suppress Multiple-mode Vibration
than traditionally designed shapers of comparable duration. Computer simulations of a single-mode system demonstrated the advantages of the new shapers. MACE results collected aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor demonstrated the shapers' vibration-reducing abiUty on real structures. Acknowledgments W
