RESEARCH ON ENVIRONMENTAL LOAD GIVEN BY MAINTENANCE WORK

Simulation of working conditions by maximum work load on firefighters.

The aim of this research is to find out whether the firefighter manpower is adequate to the requirements in the field under the most severe conditions. It also attempts to test whether firefighters' working ability corresponds to their age. To that purpose 220 Croatian firefighters from the Littoral Mountainous county, 99 professional firefighters from the city of Rijeka, 45 professional firefi...

Maximum Allowable Load On Wheeled Mobile Manipulators (RESEARCH NOTE)

This paper develops a computational technique for finding the maximum allowable load of mobile manipulators for a given trajectory. The maximum allowable loads which can be achieved by a mobile manipulator during a given trajectory are limited by the number of factors; probably the dynamic properties of mobile base and mounted manipulator, their actuator limitations and additional constraints a...

[Basic research on measurement of mental work load utilizing physiological information].

Various definitions and models have been proposed to evaluate mental work load, for example, task time analysis method and secondary task method based on single channel model. However, an evaluating method utilizing physiological information has been comparatively newly proposed. Therefore, this method has not been adequately examined with respect to its relation to be heretofore proposed metho...

Research by environmental health scientists.

RECENT studies of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) have demonstrated that the putatively pure preparations of CEA were not homogeneous. Rule and Goleski-Reilly (1973), by the isoelectric focusing of saline extracts of tumour materials, detected 6 major and 6 minor CEA reactive peaks between pH 2 0 and 9 0. Coligan et al. (1973) demonstrated by isoelectric focusing and ion exchange chromatographic...
