Nowadays, in some critical domains like military operations, operator's performance is directly and strongly linked to the situational awareness and the control of the situation this operator may have, and thus, the learning and training of the techniques to be performed. New means of technique may be necessary to improve capacities of operators immersed in new situations. This paper describes such an approach, based on virtual reality techniques, for individual training and, in the future, for group training.

Cassava fibrous waste, alone or in combination with sugar cane bagasse, was studied for its potential for production of Pleurotus sajor-caju LPB 19 in solid state fermentation. Various physico-chemical parameters such as fermentation temperature, initial pH of the medium, enrichment of the medium with glucose and the level of NaC1 in the medium were studied, along with production of fruit bodies. The data indicated high potential of cassava fibrous waste in the production of Pleurotus mushroom, as the average production of fresh fruit bodies and the biological efficiency of the process involving 80: 20 ratio of cassava bagasses: sugar cane bagasse medium are excellent. The work provides a novel approach for upgradation of cassava fibrous waste.
