Ergonomics and Safety in Hand Tool Design

Ergonomics and Safety in Hand Tool Design

This book focuses exclusively on ergonomics in the design and use of hand tools. Hand tools have been an integral supplement to the human hand since the beginning of civilization. Recently they have been pinpointed as a prominent cause of workplace disease. Cumulative Trauma Disorders such as Tendonitus Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Raynaud's Syndrome are caused by the specialization of motion employed when using a screw driver the shock to the hand and wrist when a hammer strikes a nail or the vibration of a power saw. Ergonomics and Safety in Hand Tool Design explores the relationship between Biomechanics Safety and Ergonomics allowing the reader to recognize evaluate and control ergonomic risk factors and improve hand tool design. After a history of hand tool use and design the book is broken down by the various disciplines as they apply to hand tools taking a broad approach. The author gives special attention to safe design and use illustrated with detailed diagrams. The text serves as a guide to the human factors in safety and ergonomics for safety professionals.

Phosphoric Acid Purification Uses Technology and Economics

Phosphoric Acid Purification Uses Technology and Economics

The rise and rationalization of the industrial phosphates industry have gone hand in hand with the development and maturation of technologies to purify phosphoric acid. In the 1960s and 70s driven by the exponential sales growth of the detergent-builder sodium tripolyphosphate chemical producers raced to develop processes that would provide a sufficiently pure phosphoric acid feedstock for manufacture to undercut thermal phosphoric acid made from phosphorus. As environmental and political pressure led to a collapse in demand for sodium tripolyphosphate in the 1990s the commercial pressures to rationalize at plant and corporate levels rose such that only the fittest survived. Phosphoric Acid: Purification Uses Technology and Economics the first and only book of its kind to be written on this topic covers the development of purification technologies for phosphoric acid especially solvent extraction describing the more successful processes and setting this period in the historical context of the last 350 years. Individual chapters are devoted to the key derivative products which are still undergoing active development as well as to sustainability and how to approach the commissioning of these plants. The text is aimed at students of chemistry chemical engineering business and industrial history and to new entrants to the industry. | Phosphoric Acid Purification Uses Technology and Economics

How we Get Mendel Wrong and Why it Matters Challenging the narrative of Mendelian genetics

How we Get Mendel Wrong and Why it Matters Challenging the narrative of Mendelian genetics

This book illustrates that the stereotypical representations of Gregor Mendel and his work misrepresent his findings and their historical context. The author sets the historical record straight and provides scientists with a reference guide to the respective scholarship in the early history of genetics. The overarching argument is twofold: on the one hand that we had better avoid naïve hero-worshipping and understand each historical figure Mendel in particular by placing them in the actual sociocultural context in which they lived and worked; on the other hand that we had better refrain from teaching in schools the naive Mendelian genetics that provided the presumed “scientific” basis for eugenics. Key Features Corrects the distorting stereotypical representations of Mendelian genetics and provides an authentic picture of how science is done focusing on Gregor Mendel and his actual contributions to science Explains how the oversimplifications of Mendelian genetics were exploited by ideologues to provide the presumed “scientific” basis for eugenics Proposes a shift in school education from teaching how the science of genetics is done using model systems to teaching the complexities of development through which heredity is materialized | How we Get Mendel Wrong and Why it Matters Challenging the narrative of Mendelian genetics

Oil and Gas Technology and Humans Assessing the Human Factors of Technological Change

Oil and Gas Technology and Humans Assessing the Human Factors of Technological Change

The oil and gas industry is going through a major technological shift. This is particularly true of the Norwegian continental shelf where new work processes are being implemented based on digital infrastructure and information technology. The term Integrated Operations (IO) has been applied to this set of new processes. It is defined by the Centre for Integrated Operations in the Petroleum Industry as 'work processes and technology to make smarter decisions and better execution enabled by ubiquitous real time data collaborative techniques and access to multiple expertise'. It's claimed that IO is efficient optimises exploration reduces costs and improves safety performance. However the picture is not as clear-cut as it may appear. On the one hand the new work processes do not prevent major accidents: IO-related factors have been identified in recent events such as the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe. On the other hand IO technology provides improved decision-making support (such as access to real-time data and expertise) which can reduce human and material losses and damage to the environment. Given these very different properties it's vital that the industry has a detailed understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of IO which this book sets out to do from a multidisciplinary point of view. It analyses Integrated Operations from the angles of statistics management science human factors and resilience engineering. These varied disciplines provide a multifaceted understanding of IO that better informs risk assessment practices as well as explaining new techniques and methods and provides state-of-the-art guidance to risk assessment practitioners working in the oil and gas industry. | Oil and Gas Technology and Humans Assessing the Human Factors of Technological Change

Modelling Uncertainty in Flood Forecasting Systems

Modelling Uncertainty in Flood Forecasting Systems

A hydroinformatics system represents an electronic knowledge encapsulator that models part of the real world and can be used for the simulation and analysis of physical chemical and biological processes in water systems in order to achieve a better management of the aquatic environment. Thus modelling is at the heart of hydroinformatics. The theory of nonlinear dynamics and chaos and the extent to which recent improvements in the understanding of inherently nonlinear natural processes present challenges to the use of mathematical models in the analysis of water and environmental systems are elaborated in this work. In particular it demonstrates that the deterministic chaos present in many nonlinear systems can impose fundamental limitations on our ability to predict behaviour even when well-defined mathematical models exist. On the other hand methodologies and tools from the theory of nonlinear dynamics and chaos can provide means for a better accuracy of short-term predictions as demonstrated through the practical applications in this work. | Modelling Uncertainty in Flood Forecasting Systems

Power System Transients Theory and Applications Second Edition

Power System Transients Theory and Applications Second Edition

This new edition covers a wide area from transients in power systems—including the basic theory analytical calculations EMTP simulations computations by numerical electromagnetic analysis methods and field test results—to electromagnetic disturbances in the field on EMC and control engineering. Not only does it show how a transient on a single-phase line can be explained from a physical viewpoint but it then explains how it can be solved analytically by an electric circuit theory. Approximate formulas which can be calculated by a pocket calculator are presented so that a transient can be analytically evaluated by a simple hand calculation. Since a real power line is three-phase this book includes a theory that deals with a multi-phase line for practical application. In addition methods for tackling a real transient in a power system are introduced. This new edition contains three completely revised and updated chapters as well as two new chapters on grounding and numerical methods. | Power System Transients Theory and Applications Second Edition

Optimal Enterprise Structures Processes and Mathematics of Knowledge Technology and Human Capital

Optimal Enterprise Structures Processes and Mathematics of Knowledge Technology and Human Capital

In the modern world most gross product is created within Enterprise firms project programs state agencies transnational corporations and their divisions as well as various associations and compositions of the above entities. Enterprises being on the one hand complex and on the other hand widespread systems are the subject matter of cybernetics system theory operations research management sciences and many other fields of knowledge. However the complexity of the system obstructs the development of mathematically rigorous foundations for Enterprise control. Moreover methods of operations research and related sciences which are widely used in practice provide optimization of the constituents of an Enterprise without modeling it as a whole system. But the optimization of parts does not lead to the optimality of the whole and also the absence of top-down and holistic mathematical models of Enterprise contradicts the principle of holism and the system approach. The approach in this book looks first at Enterprise Systems and their essential aspects as complex sociotechnical systems composed of integrated sets of structural and process models (Chapters 1 and 2). A uniform description of all the heterogeneous fields of the modern Enterprise (marketing sales manufacturing HR finance etc. ) is then made and the Enterprise Control Problem is posed as a top-down and holistic mathematical optimization problem (Chapter 3). Original models and methods of contract theory (Chapter 4) technology management (Chapter 5) human behavior and human capital (Chapter 6) and complex activity and resource planning (Chapter 7) are developed to solve the problem. Structural processes and mathematical models constitute an Optimal Enterprise Control Framework (Chapter 8) that provides a practical solution to the Enterprise Control Problem. This book is a resource for postgraduate and doctoral students postdoctoral researchers and professors with research interests in the following fields of science: Fundamental Complex Systems study Complex Systems Engineering Enterprise Systems Engineering Applications of Operations Research Optimization Probability and Stochastic processes to Management Science Economics and Business Theory of the Firm Business and Management – general strategy/leadership organization management operations management and management information systems Theory of Business Processes Business Processes Improvement and Reengineering | Optimal Enterprise Structures Processes and Mathematics of Knowledge Technology and Human Capital
