Background: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are major causes of absenteeism, increased costs, and human injuries among computer users. This study aimed to examine the effects of ergonomics training and corrective exercises on musculoskeletal disorders among a gas company computer users. Material and Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 19 office computer users who participa...

Reasonable building height distribution in urban residential areas is conducive to smoother vertical airflow exchange and promotes sustainable development. This paper studies the influence of layouts on ventilation high-rise Harbin, China, discusses typical layout objectives. The ideal area 220 × m was determined using statistical analysis specification requirements, seven were defined based he...

In this paper, Front Engine Accessory Drive (FEAD) system of automotive engine is modeled with ADAMS software. The model is validated using engine test data. It is then used to investigate the effect of design parameters on the system performance such as belt vibration and loads on the idlers. Three alternative layouts were developed in order to improve the performance of original EEAD system. ...

As the sustainable settlements have been included as a vital end product of all planning exercises, the architectural layouts should be well integrated with the sun path charts and the orientations of windows. Appropriate orientations can offer thermally indoor conditions besides physical and psychological comfort in any settlement at lesser energy demand. This investigation uses a vast number ...

This paper explores the method of assessing regional spatial ventilation performance for the design of residential building arrangements at an operational level. Three ventilation efficiency (VE) indices, Net Escape Velocity (NEV), Visitation Frequency (VF) and spatial-mean Velocity Magnitude (VM), are adopted to quantify the influence of design variation on VE within different regional spaces....

To harvest the generated power, the turbines of an offshore wind farm are connected to an electrical transformer by cable routes. Typical cable layouts use two cable types distinguished by price and capacity: High capacity is expensive. This work presents a heuristic for computing near-optimal layouts based on the Clarke and Wright savings heuristic for vehicle routing, and the layouts it compu...

We consider the problem of constructing virtual path layouts for an ATM network consisting of a complete network K n of n processors in which a certain number of links may fail. Our main goal is to construct layouts which tolerate any connguration of up to f layouts and have the least possible congestion. First, we study the minimal congestion of 1-hop f-tolerant layouts in K n. For any positiv...
