Effect of Vibration Magnitude and Seated Posture on Reading Activity in Fore and AFT Vibration

A large number of passengers prefer to utilize the time while commuting from one place to other in public transport like train, car and other vehicles. Traveling time can be utilized performing many sedentary activities e.g. Reading, writing, sketching etc. Reading activity is the most preferred activity for utilization of time. Experimental study has been performed to find the effect of vibrat...

Investigation of the transmission of fore and aft vibration through the human body.

Understanding the behavior of human body under the influence of vibration is of great importance for the optimal motor vehicle system design. Therefore, great efforts are being done in order to discover as many information about the influence of vibration on human body as possible. So far the references show that the major scientific attention has been paid to vertical vibration, although inten...

Flotillas of lipid rafts fore and aft.

T effectively combat invading pathogens, immune cells must rapidly switch from roughly spherical resting cells to polarized migratory ones, which then move in a directed fashion to the site of infection. The dramatic metamorphosis of leukocytes into polarized cells and their subsequent migration are two of the most fascinating phenomena in cell biology. Polarization and migration require the sp...

Frequency weightings for fore-and-aft vibration at the back: effect of contact location, contact area, and body posture.

Fore-and-aft vibration of a backrest can influence discomfort and the risk of injury associated with whole-body vibration. Relevant standards (BS 6841:1987 and ISO2631-1:1997) recommend the W(c) frequency weighting for evaluating fore-and-aft vibration of backrests, but do not specify the precise location for measuring vibration. This study determined equivalent comfort contours for fore-and-af...
