This document presents a model for detecting mental fatigue based on eye blinking behavior and responses to a questionnaire. The model uses a webcam to track eye blinking rate rather than specialized eye tracking technology. Participants complete a questionnaire measuring mental fatigue and cognitive state while their eye blinks per minute are recorded. A convolutional neural network is trained on the questionnaire responses and blinking data to classify fatigue levels. The researchers found their simple, low-cost model could accurately detect mental fatigue based on natural viewing conditions and questionnaire responses.
10 Things an Operations Supervisor can do Today to Improve ReliabilityRicky Smith CMRP, CMRT
Continuing the series that started with maintenance technicians and supervisors, if you are new to the position of Operations Supervisor, what are some of the things you can begin working on immediately to improve reliability within the area you work?
This document provides an overview of Behavior Based Safety (BBS) and how it can help prevent accidents in industries. It begins by asking what BBS is and explaining that traditional safety programs have limited effectiveness because they are typically top-down and focus on regulations rather than changing behaviors. Most accidents are caused by unsafe behavioral acts rather than unsafe conditions. BBS aims to minimize injuries by making safety a habit through employee involvement and feedback to change behaviors and ultimately attitudes. The methodology involves planning, implementation with safety teams and employee observations to identify and reinforce safe behaviors while stopping unsafe acts. The benefits of BBS include reduction in injuries, costs and investigations as well as increased productivity. It requires long-term management support and employee cooperation to be

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Tuned out - Unaware of surroundings. Mental Radar is off. OK at
home, or on brief breaks at work when resting safely outside
workzone away from all hazards.
Scanning – Mental Radar is actively scanning 360° for hazards and
anomalies and visualizing likely outcomes. Aim to spend most of
your time in this state.
Focused – You notice something, but may not know if it’s a hazard
or not. You assess it, then either avoid it, or control it safely. Beware
tunnel vision here.
Red Alert – You’re aware of an imminent hazard. You’ve already
prepped safe, decisive actions and back up plans. You control the
hazard safely. No surprises.

Scanning
Primarily
Focusing
The sniper’s mental state is Focused. The spotter’s mental state
is Scanning. Both communicate effectively with each other. The
result? Situational Awareness that you can bet your life on.
38. 38
We spend perhaps 95%+ of each typical day in only
two of these mental states – Scanning and
Focusing.
One “secret” to Situational Awareness is to
alternate between these two mental states when you
work alone, and to ensure that team members
coordinate the two states effectively when working
on a team.
Scanning – Mental Radar is actively scanning 360° for hazards and anomalies and
visualizing likely outcomes. Aim to spend most of your time in this state.
Focused – You notice something, but may not know if it’s a hazard or not. You
assess it, then either avoid it, or control it safely. Beware tunnel vision here.

Human Performance Error Prevention Tools: Stop When Unsure
Tool #5 – Stop When Unsure
WHAT:
When confronted with confusion or uncertainty, a
person is in unfamiliar territory. Given that the
chance for error is particularly high in such
situations, the best course of action, when unsure,
is to stop and get help from other people.
WHY is it important?

subject or object of interest.
A questioning attitude promotes a preference for
facts over assumptions and opinion. Questions such
as “What if…,” or “Why is this acceptable?”
46. 46
Human Performance Error Prevention Tools: Tool #6
Tool #6 – Questioning Attitude
WHY is it important?:
A questioning attitude fosters situational
awareness, promotes a preference for facts
over submission and opinion, and
encourages thought about safety BEFORE
action is taken. Without sufficient facts or
verification, the performer stops the activity
to address unexpected work situations that
could lead to either a serious mistake or a
significant event.
47. 47
Human Performance Error Prevention Tools: Questioning Attitude
WHEN should it be performed?
During self-checking (Think step of STAR)
Before performing an important step or phase of an
activity
When making a decision about an important activity
When experiencing uncertainty, confusion, or doubt
When experiencing a “gut feeling” that “something is
not right”
When encountering unanticipated changes in
conditions
When conflicts or inconsistencies exist between plans,
procedures and actual conditions
After encountering unexpected results
After discovering missing information or resources
Upon hearing danger words: “I assume,” “probably,” “I
think,” “maybe,” “should be,”
48. 48
Human Performance Error Prevention Tools: Questioning Attitude
HOW:
Stop, Look, and Listen –
Ask questions – Gather relevant
information.
Proceed if sure – Continue the activity if
the uncertainty has been resolved with
facts. Otherwise, do not proceed in the
face of uncertainty!

situations. The Phonetic alphabet specifies a
word for each letter of the alphabet reducing the
likelihood that the letters will be confused.
55. 55
Human Performance Error Prevention Tools: Phonetic Alphabet
WHY is it important?:
The phonetic alphabet can reduce the
effects of noise, weak telephone or
radio signals, or even a person’s
accent
