IV. FUSION INTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONS In the area of fusion research and development, Japan is recognized as one of the leading nations of the world together with Europe, USA and Russian Federation. Fusion reactor development is a long-term project which requires large resources both in man-power and in fund. It covers also broad area of science and technology. International cooperation has been recognized quite efficient in avoiding unnecessary duplication and in enhancing world's fusion program. JAERI is carrying out various international cooperation in fusion through multilateral cooperation under International Energy Agency (IEA) in Organization for Economics Cooperation and Development (OECD), International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and bilateral cooperation such as Japan-US cooperation. The multilateral and bilateral cooperation carried out in JAERI are summarized in Table IV. 1-1 and IV. 1-2 1.

Healthcare by Specialty Contact Us Quality Care Support Groups ... Performance Report MHA's Maine Quality and Patient Safety Collaborative Over the past year MHA has kicked-off two major new initiatives designed to improve quality, patient safety and patient-caregiver communications in hospitals across the state. MHA Medication Safety Project In 1999 Maine's hospitals began taking part in MHA's Medication Safety Project. This initiative is designed to address the most common form of medical errors in hospitals: mistakes surrounding the dispensing of medication. Using detailed information gathered from highly experienced physicians, pharmacists and registered nurses will develop a series of process improvement and training recommendations aimed at helping hospitals reduce medication errors. MHA- Picker Institute Improving the Patient's Hospital Experience Project By late 2000, hospitals throughout Maine will begin using a uniform approach to measuring and improving patients' overall hospital experience. Using standardized surveys, hospitals across Maine will ask patients detailed questions about the care they recently received in hospitals. Comparative data will then be shared by hospitals toward the goal of using "best practices" to improve quality. Beside caregivers also will be trained in how to improve their communications with patients and their families. Both the survey and the training will take place in close cooperation with the respected Boston-based Picker Institute.

Skip Navigation Testimony Statement by Robert E. Brackett, Ph.D. Director Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Food and Drug Administration on Food Counterterrorism Activities before Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry United States Senate Wednesday, July 20, 2005 Introduction Good morning, Chairman Chambliss and Members of the Committee. I am Robert E. Brackett, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Agency), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS or the Department). I am pleased to be here today with my colleagues from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). FDA appreciates the opportunity to discuss our food counterterrorism activities. A great deal has been done in the past few years to enhance the safety of the food supply. FDA has worked with food safety agencies, as well as with law enforcement and intelligence-gathering agencies, and with industry to significantly strengthen the nation's food safety system across the entire distribution chain, from farm to table, to better protect our food supply against deliberate and accidental threats. This cooperation has resulted in greater awareness of vulnerabilities, the creation of more effective prevention programs, new surveillance systems, and faster foodborne illness outbreak response capabilities. Food safety and food defense continue to be top priorities for this Administration. A terrorist attack on the food supply could have both severe public health and economic consequences, while damaging the public's confidence in the food we eat. The changes in food safety and defense that we have been implementing in the last few years are the most fundamental enhancements in our food safety and defense activities in many years.

Here are examples of projects undertaken by the group: Current Projects Extending HCI Principles for Enhanced Cockpit Safety The aim of this recently funded research project is to develop a principled HCI design approach for use in complex, safety critical environments. Specifically, the principles developed will be used to resolve common cognitive failures in the execution of flight-deck tasks. These principles will therefore contribute to lower rates of pilot error. An Identity-Based Design Framework for Computer-Mediated Communication Systems The aim of the project therefore is to build a design framework for the management of social identity and personal privacy into CMC systems. Modelling Collaborative Work Tasks Supported By Virtual Environments The aim of the proposed research is to provide a new approach to modelling collaborative tasks taking account of the social and contextural factors associated with collaborative work, and to develop collaborative virtual working environments to support those tasks. The research will extend the Task Knowledge Structures (TKS) principles and methods to model the social and cognitive processes involved in collaborative tasks and to develop a new UI-VWE modelling.

Under her leadership, the United States Department of Labor (DOL) has made significant contributions to the advancement of the Asian Pacific American (APA) community through its human capital program, enforcement priorities, compliance assistance efforts and partnership activities. Compliance Priorities in the APA Communities The United States Department of Labor has established a compliance priority in low-wage industries with chronic violations, where large numbers of immigrant workers, including Asian Pacific Americans, are employed. These workers are more willing to accept low-wages and less likely to complain to the government when their rights have been violated. To meet this challenge, the Department employed directed enforcement , aggressive compliance assistance to both workers and employers, and

Office of International Aviation: Air Services Liberalization - The Department will continue to pursue liberalized air transport agreements with Canada and Mexico. We believe it is essential for the three close neighbors and large trading partners to have fully liberalized air transport agreements that will more efficiently facilitate the cross-border movement of passengers and goods among all three countries. Fractional Ownership - Fractional ownership, a subset of general aviation, is a program that combines shared aircraft ownership, dry leasing of aircraft shares among owners within that program, and the use of a single program manager to provide aviation expertise and management services to those owners. The fractional ownership industry is growing and, if treated properly, will generate considerable economic benefit to North America . The Department will continue to work with Canada and Mexico to achieve a common North American regulatory approach that will allow the operations of fractional programs to continue to flourish. Federal Transit Administration: US-Mexico Mass Transit Border Project - The transit systems of Ciudad Juarez , Mexico and El Paso , Texas are developing plans for a coordinated bus rapid transit (BRT) system that commuters can use to expedite cross-border travel. Approximately 2,400 managers, engineers, and other professionals cross the border daily from El Paso to work in the 300 maquiladora manufacturing plants in Ciudad Juarez . The commuters can wait for hours in the heat and congestion of the El Paso-Juarez border crossings which adversely affects these workers' quality of life. This initiative could serve as a model for other busy border crossings with similar problems.
