Upholstered furniture intended to provide better sleep and rest, especially furniture for disabled persons, require careful design of elastic spring systems. In the majority of cases, when designing new articles, both furniture designers and manufacturers rely on long-term experience and craftsman’s intuition. On the other hand, the accumulated interdisciplinary knowledge of modern medical labo...

In this note I shall continue the study of the geometry of the moduli-space of pairs of points in 3 dimensions. I show that this space, H̃, is the base space of a canonical family of associative k -algebras in dimension 4. The study of the corresponding family of derivations leads to a natural way of introducing an action of the gauge Lie algebras of the Standard Model, in H̃. The results fit wel...

background: in our competing educational world, students spend a considerable part of their daily life, studying at library furniture. not surprisingly, due to lack of proper anthropometric databases, these products have typically been ill fitted for the intended user populations. objective: to verify the optimum anthropometric match of library furniture within an academic environment, through ...

Rearranging furniture in elementary school classrooms encourages classroom activities. In elementary schools in Indonesia and some other developing countries, usually only one style of furniture is used for all children, and the furniture is heavy and oversized for younger children. This affects their ability to carry it. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of elementary s...

Classical scrapie is an environmentally transmissible prion disease of sheep and goats. Prions can persist and remain potentially infectious in the environment for many years and thus pose a risk of infecting animals after re-stocking. In vitro studies using serial protein misfolding cyclic amplification (sPMCA) have suggested that objects on a scrapie-affected sheep farm could contribute to di...

In this paper, a modeling method to handle furniture is proposed. In real environment, there is a lot of furniture such as drawer, cabinet and so on. If mobile robots can handle these furniture autonomously, it is expected that multiple daily tasks, for example, storing a small object in a drawer, can be performed by the robots. However, it is a perplexing process to give several pieces of know...

As the design of a workstation can have significant effects on user fatigue, safety and user performance, ensuring that the workstations used in any work systems are agreeable with the principles of anthropometrics have become so important. In this research, a library furniture set (table and chair for student) currently used at a Main Library, St.Maty’s Engineering College, has been evaluated....
