Abstract:

A Modified version of Joint Approximation Diagonalization Estimation of Real Signals algorithm (JADER) is proposed to enhance efficiency and speed of Blind Signal Separation (BSS). MJADER based on the mixture's dimensions minimization step, where the cumulant matrices have been estimated using a reduced-dimension observed mixture. The approach (M-JADER) is based on a threshold step, it is easy to implement, computationally efficient and faster than standard JADER about 50% where it has less running time. The comparison done under tow types of niose(semi-white Gaussian noise and Uniform noise)

Abstract:

The 2000 United States Census reported significant growth in the number of Hispanic workers. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH, 1996) has identified noise-induced hearing loss as a significant occupational threat. Current theoretical models need to be evaluated for their utility with Hispanic workers. The Predictors for Use of Hearing Protection Model (PUHPM) is a framework for increasing workers’ use of hearing protection devices (HPDs). Using regression analysis, the explained variance in HPD use by the model predictors was examined in a sample of 208 Hispanic

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), in order to provide injury surveillance for youth on farms in the U.S., partnered with the USDA to conduct the Childhood Agricultural Injury Survey (CAIS). CAIS data for all farm youth less than 20 years of age have been collected intermittently since 1998. CAIS data from 2012 indicated that an estimated 25.9 million youth lived on, worked on, or visited U.S. farms. These youth experienced almost 14,000 injuries while on the farm. The majority of these injuries occurred to males (7,290) and youth between the ages of 1

The air quality in a hospital’s underground car park is a concern because diesel fumes from cars impact upon vulnerable people attending medical consultations. This research aims to quantify the potential health risk associated with a particular hospital car park. Particulate matter was evaluated in the area with direct reading devices for particle numbers and mass concentrations (CPC 3007, EEPS 3090, Trolex Air XD, Nanozen, and Grimm 1109). Elemental and total carbon concentrations were measured following the NIOSH 5040 method, while volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and polycyclic aromatic

Abstract:

High-frequency pulsation generated by centrifugal compressors, with pressure wavelengths much smaller than the attached pipe diameter, can cause fatigue failures of the compressor internals, impair compressor performance, and damage the attached compressor piping. There are numerous sources producing pulsation in centrifugal compressors. Some of them are discussed in literature at large (Japikse, 1995; Niese, 1976). NGTL has experienced extreme high-frequency discharge pulsation and pipe wall vibration on many of its radial inlet high-flow centrifugal gas compressor facilities. These pulsation

Abstract:

Body posture is one of the most important parts when lifting an object as it can causes injury if the wrong technique and body posture were used. A worker will injure their low back if a bad posture is not in consideration. A good body posture is recommended among workers to reduce the chance of injury while lifting and improve their postural safety. The main objectives of this study are to observe the body posture of the worker during lifting and study the comparison of using lower back support when lifting. It also investigates the muscle activity of the worker during heavy lifting using EMG

Abstract. Sunset Semi-Continuous Carbon Analyzer (SCCA) is an instrument widely used for carbonaceous aerosol measurement. Despite previous validation work, here we identified a new type of SCCA calculation discrepancy caused by the default multi-point baseline correction method. When exceeding a certain threshold carbon load, multi-point correction could cause significant Total Carbon (TC) underestimation. This calculation discrepancy was characterized for both sucrose and ambient samples with three temperature protocols. For ambient samples, 22%, 36% and 12% TC was underestimated by the thre

Manual material handling (MMH) activity is considered a major ergonomic risk factor in Indonesian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that leads to the onset or development of musculoskeletal pain, particularly in the low back. It may exaggerate the risk of injury or disorders. This study evaluates the recommended weight limit (RWL) at UD Fatikh Sport, a SMES sports shoe manufacturer. In addition, we also propose a facility layout redesign to reduce the ergonomic risks of manual material handling activities.

Low back pain (LBP) is a common disorder that affects the working population worldwide. LBP causes more disability than any other conditions all around the world. Most existing studies focus on the occupational physical factors in association with LBP, while few focus on individual factors, especially the lack of quantitative calculation of waist comfort in biomechanics. Based on the physical statistics of Chinese men, this research used human posture analysis (HPA) to establish the waist strength formula and analyzed the waist strength during a manual material handling.

Manual material lifting is a major risk factor for work-related low back disorders (LBD's). Several methods for quantifying the specific aspects of lifting which are believed to contribute to LBD's have been developed and are beginning to be used in industry for job evaluation and re-design. The optimal method for determining the risk of occupational LBD on a population basis has not been determined. This study compared four evaluation methods used to assess occupational LBD risk in manual material handling tasks. The job evaluation methods examined were: the 1993 NIOSH model, the UAW-GM Ergon
