Abstract:

Abstract Communication channels for effective transfer of portable timber bridge technology to loggers were investigated within the eastern half of the United States. Loggers received most technology information by personal contact with other loggers, followed by personal contact with industry foresters. However, this study identified different preferred channels (e.g., personal contact, logger education programs, or trade shows) of receiving new technology information by loggers in different U.S. regions. Loggers indicated that the best method for transferring technology was by word of mouth

Abstract Two distinct populations of loggers work in Maine's border counties with Quebec: Maine resident and Quebec resident woodsworkers. This study compared the sense of occupational choice and prestige held by these workers, as well as their sociodemographic attributes.

In addition, Maine resident loggers appeared to exhibit less resignation to woods work than their Quebec counterparts.

The study was conducted on non-industrial private forestland (NIPF) and excluded harvests on land owned by forest industry or public forests. Completed logging jobs were evaluated in relation to four components of timber harvesting: (1) haul roads, (2) skid trails, (3) log decks, and (4) Streamside Management Zones (SMZs).

Abstract:

Logging is one of the most dangerous occupations in the world. Logging tasks, whether they consist of operating a chainsaw, operating a mechanized harvester, or driving logging trucks, have an influence on the types of hazards and injuries among professional loggers. Using the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire, we investigated the 12-month period prevalence of musculoskeletal disorder symptoms (MSS) among professional loggers in the mountainous region of Montana. We also differentiated the prevalence of MSS based on logging system-type accounting for demographic and workplace covariates. Based

A suitable data logger is needed for data collection to demonstrate the practicality of Hydrokinetic Turbine (HKT) in a rural application. Currently, commercial data loggers are expensive and consume extensive amounts of energy. The high cost is due to the sophisticated applications or features embedded together with the loggers. However, some of these features are not necessarily needed in Borneo's rural area due to limited power supply and an absence of internet access. Therefore, in this study, a data logger was designed according to Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to feed the specific or

Abstract:

Despite the mechanization process implemented in arboriculture, logging tasks are still manually performed by chainsaw operators, which therefore are exposed to the risk of developing hand-wrist musculoskeletal disorders. Our research aimed to: (a) define whether the slight changes observed in 2017 showed an evolution to overt diseases; (b) study some risk determinants for these diseases such as age, working experience, and performing a secondary job. We recruited in a two-year follow-up study, 38 male forestry workers performing logging tasks employed in the Sicilian Forestry Department locat

Abstract:

A commercially available temperature-logging device (Tinytag Plus, Gemini Data Loggers) was fitted to a Taylor-Wharton CP100 dry-shipper, which is a widely used container for the storage and transport of macromolecular crystals. The temperature was monitored over periods of up to one week, which included the transport of the container from Hamburg (Germany) to Trieste (Italy) and back. Further control experiments were carried out in order to assess the effect of certain disturbing events on the temperature curve.

After 30 years of such a show in Minnesota its sponsors sampled the more than 2000 attendees and 80 equipment exhibitors to characterize the people involved and to measure the 1984 event's local economic impacts. Nearly 40% of attendees were loggers, 30% spectators, and less than 10% each sawmillers or foresters. Viewing logging equipment and observing live loading competition were the top reasons cited for attendance. Direct mail was the most effective promotional technique. The average att

In the studies done to date on the swarm behaviors of animals, many different observational techniques have been developed, indicating the importance of such detailed observations. The techniques of researchers aiming to capture the swarm behavior of animals, which is normally visually unobservable, have included attaching microsensors to honey bees or ants and data loggers (micro recorders) to birds or mammals. Such techniques, collectively known as “bio-logging,” can go far in clarifying why we feel animals that exhibit swarm behaviors seem to have a sort of collective intelligence, or “swar

Abstract The availability of raw material for harvest and use by wood-consuming mills in northern New England is a concern of the region's forest products community. Shifting populations, as well as shifting priorities for and values of land uses in the region, have placed pressures on landowners to subdivide and sell their forestland, resulting in concern about future wood supply in some areas of the region. Wood procurement managers and professional loggers, key participants in supplying raw material to wood-consuming mills, were surveyed to better understand the relationships between phenom

Abstract:

Background: Logging is recognized as one of the most dangerous industries in the United States (US), ranking among those with the highest occupational injury and fatality rates. Although logging operations in the Southeastern US have lower rates of injuries and fatalities compared to other regions of the US, due in part to the use of large machinery to fell timber as opposed to chainsaw felling, safety hazards continue to persist. The hazards present in the logging cut sites in which loggers operate may result in worker injury, illness, or fatality. Our objective was to develop, deliver, and e

Abstract:

Work involving forest logging is considered one of the most dangerous occupations in the world. In the intermountain region of Montana and Idaho in the United States, the extreme terrain, remote location and severe weather conditions escalate risk. Although safety has improved through the development of mechanized equipment, logging tasks continue to be very hazardous. Thus, as with leading companies in other occupational sectors, logging enterprises are beginning to consider safety climate as a useful measure in their safety systems.
