The level of satisfaction with an environment differs among individuals, which may be caused by social, psychological and physical factors. One of the environmental factors affecting physical and mental satisfaction, is the thermal condition of space. In recent years, the importance of thermal comfort has been accentuated due to the climate change and global warming, increasing the number of st...

Fabric-based protective clothing is widely used for occupational safety of firefighters/industrial workers. The aim of this paper is to study thermal protective performance provided by fabric systems and to propose an effective model for predicting the thermal protective performance under various thermal exposures. Different fabric systems that are commonly used to manufacture thermal protectiv...

Form factor sequences of an integrable QFT can be defined axiomatically as solutions of a system of recursive functional equations, known as “form factor equations”. We show that their solution can be replaced with the study of the representation theory of a novel algebra F(S). It is associated with a given two-particle S-matrix and has the following features: (i) It contains a double TTS algeb...

Society is demanding tougher legislation to minimize or even eliminate perceived health risks to people. Since the European Union began drafting requirements in support of RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), companies have been scrambling to address the critical transition from eutectic SnPb to Pb-free solder for electronic assemblies. Activities have focused heavily on understanding fu...

background: this study presents a framework for development of integrated health, safety and ergonomic (hse) in complex critical systems. total ergonomics model considers conventional ergonomics factors as well as management and organizational factors. methods : control room operation and maintenance department of a thermal power plant was chosen as the case of our study. to achieve the above o...
