the objective of this study was to determine the effects of grasp conditions (types of grasp, grasp width, glove and types of coupling) on maximal pushing force (mpf) and required pinch force (rpf) during snap fit assembly. the results indicated that the type of grasp, the type of coupling and wearing gloves have significant (p

the markedly high prevalence of obesity contributes to the increased incidence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and heart disease. because of high prevalence of obesity in almost all countries, it has been the focus of many researches throughout the world during the recent decades. along with increasing researches, new concepts and controversies have been emerge...

Consumer sleep tracking devices are widely advertised as effective means to monitor and manage sleep quality and to provide positive effects on overall heath. However objective evidence supporting these claims is not always readily available. The goal of this study was to perform a comprehensive review of available information on six representative sleep tracking devices: BodyMedia FIT, Fitbit ...

Because of two 3σ anomalies, the Standard Model (SM) fit of the precision electroweak data has a poor confidence level, CL = 0.02. Since both anomalies involve challenging systematic issues, it might appear that the SM could still be valid if the anomalies resulted from underestimated systematic error. Indeed the CL of the global fit could then increase to 0.71, but that fit predicts a small Hi...

Induced fit explains why biomolecules can bind together even if they are not optimized for binding. However, induced fit can lead to a kinetic bottleneck and does not describe every interaction in the absence of prior complementarity. Preselection of a fitting conformer is an alternative to induced fit.

objectives: nowadays, snap-fits are used in the automotive industry as a proper alternative for mechanical joints, cabling joints, and car interior lining joints. due to the special form of these joints, which are assembled manually, the contact area between snap-fits and the worker's fingertips can be too small. this can cause skin pain on the worker's fingertips. therefore, an ergonomic study...
