A9780309468800Paperback / softback. New. Decades of continuous efforts to address known hazards in the national airspace system NAS and to respond to issues illuminated by analysis of incidents and accidents have made commercial airlines the safest mode of transportation. The task of maintaining a high level of safety for commercial airlines is complicated by the dynamic nature of the NAS. The number of flights by commercial transports is increasing; air traffic control systems and procedures are being modernized to increase the capacity and efficiency of the NAS; increasingly autonomous systems are being developed for aircraft and ground systems and small aircraftaEURO"most notably unmanned aircraft systemsaEURO"are becoming much more prevalent. As the NAS evolves to accommodate these changes aviation safety programs will also need to evolve to ensure that changes to the NAS do not inadvertently introduce new risks. Real-time system-wide safety assurance RSSA is one of six focus areas for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA aeronautics program. NASA envisions that an RSSA system would provide a continuum of information analysis and assessment that supports awareness and action to mitigate risks to safety. Maintaining the safety of the NAS as it evolves will require a wide range of safety systems and practices some of which are already in place and many of which need to be developed. This report identifies challenges to establishing an RSSA system and the high-priority research that should be implemented by NASA and other interested parties in government industry and academia to expedite development of such a system. paperback

A9780309490917Paperback / softback. New. Pain is a leading cause of disability globally. The dramatic increase in opioid prescriptions within the past decade in the United States has contributed to the opioid epidemic the country currently faces magnifying the need for longer term solutions to treat pain. The substantial burden of pain and the ongoing opioid crisis have attracted increased attention in medical and public policy communities resulting in a revolution in thinking about how pain is managed. This new thinking acknowledges the complexity and biopsychosocial nature of the pain experience and the need for multifaceted pain management approaches with both pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies. The magnitude and urgency of the twin problems of chronic pain and opioid addiction combined with the changing landscape of pain management prompted the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine to convene a workshop on December 4aEURO"5 2018 in Washington DC. The workshop brought together a diverse group of stakeholders to discuss the current status of nonpharmacological approaches to pain management gaps and future directions. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop. paperback

A9780309275484Paperback / softback. New. Offshore wind energy development is poised to expand rapidly across the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf over the next decade as part of a government-wide effort to develop more renewable sources of energy. Offshore wind energy planning and development has expanded along the U.S. Atlantic Coast and to areas in the Gulf of Mexico and Pacific Coast. However the maritime community has expressed concern that wind turbine generators which are constructed predominantly of steel can interfere with radar used in navigation. A particular concern is interference with marine vessel radar which is a critical instrument for navigation collision avoidance and use in search and rescue missions with secondary uses including activities like detecting reflectors on fishing nets or birds to indicate the presence of schools of fish. Previous studies of the impacts of wind turbine generators on radar relied on data from European wind farms - however wind turbines located in or planned for the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf are larger wider and laid out in different configurations. Conducted at the request of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management this report identifies and characterizes the impacts of wind turbine generators on the efficacy of marine vessel radar on vessels operating within or near existing and planned offshore wind facilities on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf. The report recommends pursing two courses of action to reduce impacts by: 1 filling knowledge gaps through data collection modeling and analysis and focused research on wind turbine generator characteristics; and 2 pursuing practicable options to reduce interference on marine vessel radar such as enhanced operator training use of radar reflectors on small vessels use of reference buoys evaluation of radar mounting procedures new radar designs and the development of wind turbine generators with reduced radar signatures. paperback
