Ten young male participants were recruited to test their maximum symmetric and asymmetric isoinertial lifting capabilities from floor to the knuckle height in different container dimensions varied in both width and length. The results showed that the order from the highest to lowest lifting capability for the lifting modes was symmetric lifting, asymmetric lifting with leg rotation and asymmetr...

We investigate lifting i e the process of taking a valid inequality for a polyhe dron and extending it to a valid inequality in a higher dimensional space Lifting is usually applied sequentially that is variables in a set are lifted one after the other This may be computationally unattractive since it involves the solution of an optimization problem to compute a lifting coe cient for each varia...

Manual handling is recognised as a major cause of work-related back injuries. Although widely implemented, manual handling training programmes appear to have had limited success in reducing these injuries. This may stem from the inadequacy of training programmes and/or their inability to accommodate variations in task, workplace, and worker. Designing training programmes based on the techniques...

s of Presentations A Prospect to the Next Version of TuBound Adrian Prantl Vienna University of Technology [email protected] The safety of our day-to-day life depends crucially on the correct functioning of embedded software systems which control the functioning of more and more technical devices. Many of these software systems are time-critical. Hence, computations performed need no...

Granular Pile Anchor (GPA) considers one of the solution foundation techniques, designed to mitigate the lifting of the sole resulting from expansive soils. This study work is to investigate the uplift movement response of (GPA) in expansive soil. The laboratory tests have been performed on an experimental. The effects of several parameters, such as length (L) of (GPA) and diameter (D), the thi...

Occupational back pain in nurses (OBPN) constitutes a major source of morbidity in the health care environment. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), occupational back injury is the second leading occupational injury in the United States. Among health care personnel, nurses have the highest rate of back pain, with an annual prevalence of 40-50% and a li...
