Improved human-tractor interface designs, such as well-accommodated operator enclosures (i.e. cabs and protection frames) can enhance operator productivity, comfort and safety. This study investigated farm-worker anthropometry and determined the critical anthropometric measures and 3-D feature envelopes of body landmarks for the design of tractor operator enclosures. One hundred agriculture wor...

PURPOSE This study aimed to quantify the comfort level and quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients, to identify the variables associated with comfort level and QoL, and to identify the relationship between comfort level and QoL. METHODS This was a cross-sectional descriptive study. The participants comprised 100 cancer patients, of which 98 were analyzed. Participants completed a self-report...

‎in this short note‎, ‎we present some inequalities for relative operator entropy which are generalizations of some results obtained by zou [operator inequalities associated with tsallis relative operator entropy‎, ‎{em math‎. ‎inequal‎. ‎appl.}‎ ‎{18} (2015)‎, ‎no‎. ‎2‎, ‎401--406]‎. ‎meanwhile‎, ‎we also show some new lower and upper bounds for relative operator entropy and tsallis relative o...

Trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TrIFNs) express abundant and flexible information in a suitable manner and  are very useful to depict the decision information in the procedure of decision making. In this paper, some new aggregation operators, such as, trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy weighted power harmonic mean (TrIFWPHM) operator, trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted po...

With current overuse of the road transportation system and planned increase in traffic, innovative solutions that overcome environmental and financial cost of the current system should be assessed. A promising idea is the use of the third dimension for personal transportation. Therefore, the European project myCopter, funded under the 7th framework, aimed at enabling the technologies for Person...

we introduce a new concept of general $g$-$eta$-monotone operator generalizing the general $(h,eta)$-monotone operator cite{arvar2, arvar1}, general $h-$ monotone operator cite{xiahuang} in banach spaces, and also generalizing $g$-$eta$-monotone operator cite{zhang}, $(a, eta)$-monotone operator cite{verma2}, $a$-monotone operator cite{verma0}, $(h, eta)$-monotone operator cite{fanghuang}...

In ‎the present ‎paper, ‎we ‎introduce the ‎two-wavelet ‎localization ‎operator ‎for ‎the square ‎integrable ‎representation ‎of a‎ ‎homogeneous space‎ with respect to a relatively invariant measure. ‎We show that it is a bounded linear operator. We investigate ‎some ‎properties ‎of the ‎two-wavelet ‎localization ‎operator ‎and ‎show ‎that ‎it ‎is a‎ ‎compact ‎operator ‎and is ‎contained ‎in‎ a...

PURPOSE To examine the phenomenon of comfort in the context of childbirth. Enhancement of comfort for laboring women is a valued outcome of nursing and midwifery care. Interventions that increase comfort during labor support a woman's effort to participate more fully in the birth thereby keeping her more aware of her body, emotions, and experience. ORGANIZING CONSTRUCT The concept of comfort ...

Vibration assessment of upland crop machinery under development is essential because high vibrational exposures affect machine efficiency, service life components, degradation the working environment, and cause health risks to operator. It intensively assessed for automobiles as well large off-road agricultural vehicles (i.e., tractors). However, it mostly overlooked in case small or medium rid...

The aim of the study was to examine the relation between lower limb comfort scores and injury and to measure the responsiveness of a lower limb comfort index (LLCI) to changes over time, in a cohort of professional footballers. Lower limb comfort was recorded for each individual using a comfort index which assessed the comfort status of five anatomical segments and footwear. Specifically we tes...
