    The purpose of this volume is to look at the developments and changes that have occurred in the area of mental workload and its assessment since the NATO symposium was held in 1979. This has been achieved by inviting prominent researchers to survey their respective areas of expertise.Examined are the current methodologies, individual differences, unanswered questions, and future directions for the mental workload issue. Particular topics discussed include the properties of workload assessment techniques, physiological measures, heart rate variability, effort and fatigue in relation to the workload experienced during normal daily routines, subjective assessment techniques, and the cognitive psychology of subjective workload. A preliminary proposal for a cohesive model of mental load is presented. A bibliographic listing of contemporary research reports completes the volume.

  • Geometry of Classical Fields

    • English
    This volume is an introduction to differential methods in physics. Part I contains a comprehensive presentation of the geometry of manifolds and Lie groups, including infinite dimensional settings. The differential geometric notions introduced in Part I are used in Part II to develop selected topics in field theory, from the basic principles up to the present state of the art. This second part is a systematic development of a covariant Hamiltonian formulation of field theory starting from the principle of stationary action.

  • Generalized Classical Mechanics and Field Theory

    A Geometrical Approach of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Formalisms Involving Higher Order Derivatives

    The aim of this book is to discuss the present situation of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms involving higher order derivatives. The achievements of differential geometry in formulating a more modern and powerful treatment of these theories is described and an extensive review of the development of these theories in classical language is also given.
