User Centered, Application Independent Visualization of National Airspace Data
This paper describes an application independent software tool, IV4D, built to visualize animated and still 3D National Airspace System (NAS) data specifically for aeronautics engineers who research aggregate, as well as single, flight efficiencies and behavior. IV4D was origin ally developed in a joint effort between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (A FRL) to support the visualization of air traffic data from the Airspa ce Concept Evaluation System (ACES) simulation program. The three mai n challenges tackled by IV4D developers were: 1) determining how to d istill multiple NASA data formats into a few minimal dataset types; 2 ) creating an environment, consisting of a user interface, heuristic algorithms, and retained metadata, that facilitates easy setup and fa st visualization; and 3) maximizing the user?s ability to utilize the extended range of visualization available with AFRL?s existing 3D te chnologies. IV4D is currently being used by air traffic management re searchers at NASA?s Ames and Langley Research Centers to support data visualizations

Computer-based clinical decision support for general practitioners.
A
GP makes many decisions within every consultation. A computer-based clinical
decision support system (CDSS) is software designed to support this decision
making. It matches individual patient characteristics to a computerized
clinical knowledge base and then provides patient-specific assessments or
recommendations to the clinician to support a decision that can relate to
diagnosis, investigation, prognosis or treatment. CDSSs offers the potential to
translate the most up to date and robust evidence into practice. An example
would include a GP being prompted to use a clinical prediction rule for
pharyngitis (such as the Centor score) through a CDSS integrated into the
electronic health record, after typing the word ‘sore throat’, with suggested
management options then being delivered to the GP.</p
The Quest for Moral Leaders: Essays on Leadership Ethics
The quest for moral leaders is both a personal quest that takes place in the hearts and minds of leaders and a pursuit by individuals, groups, organizations, communities and societies for leaders who are both ethical and effective. The contributors to this volume, all top scholars in leadership studies and ethics, provide a nuanced discussion of the complex ethical relationships that lie at the core of leadership.https://scholarship.richmond.edu/bookshelf/1018/thumbnail.jp
Mentoring and Self-Management Career Strategies For Entrepreneurs
The purpose of this article is to examine the literature on self management and mentoring to develop practical methods of enhancing the career success of entrepreneurs. The authors believe that both behavioural and cognitive self-management strategies can be useful to entrepreneurs. These techniques include goal-setting, self-observation, self-rewards, cueing, self-talk, visualization and the active reframing of obstacles into opportunities. In addition, the varying roles and functions of mentors, including emotional, vocational and role modelling support, will have many positive benefits for both entrepreneurial proteges and mentors. Recommendations for furture research and an entrepreneurial model of career development are provided
