Ergonomics evaluation of a manually operated cassava chipping machine.
A manually operated machine for chipping cassava was evaluated. Six farmers took part in the study, with physiological, postural, and subjective measurements being taken. Using the machine resulted in drudgery and postural discomfort. Following an iterative design process and using appropriate anthropometric measurements, an improved, adjustable prototype was developed. This was tested with the...
متن کاملTechnology of manually operated sampler pipets.
We have evaluated the performance of manually operated sampler pipets. Twenty-four instruments of various construction, manufacture, and delivery volume were evaluated. Pipet-delivered water and serum were repeatedly weighed under controlled environmental conditions, and precision and accuracy assessed. The pipets often failed to meet the manufacturer’s stated tolerance limits. Consumers should...
متن کاملSome Measurements of Mechanical Sugarcane Harvester Performance
mills are able to accept chopped cane. In the past three years several locally developed whole stalk harvesters and imported chopper harvesters have come into use in many areas of the South African sugar industry. The Experiment Station therefore conducted time and motion studies during the past two seasons to assess the performance of these harvesters while operating under local field and crop...

متن کاملVariability of exposure and estimation of cumulative exposure in a manually operated coal mine.
This study aims at estimating variability in exposure to respirable dust and assessing whether the a priori grouping by job team is appropriate for an exposure-response study on respiratory effects among workers in a manually operated coal mine in Tanzania. Furthermore, estimated exposure levels were used to calculate cumulative exposure. Full-shift personal respirable dust samples (n = 204) we...
