background : drivers are vulnerable to musculoskeletal and psychological disorders because of substantially harmful agents in this stressful occupation. this study aims to investigate the influence of driver’s physical and psychological health on the risk of road accidents using fuzzy logic approach. methods : two input variables including musculoskeletal disorders (msds) and mental health, alo...

Background: There is a high prevalence of  occupational injuries due to accidents in construction industries which affect human health. Therefore, the exploration and analysis of contributing factors of such accidents can lead to their prevention and the reduction of their consequences. This study was conducted with the aim to identify factors related to occup...

Interacting with bicycles on urban road segments is complex for vehicles, due to the diverse and flexible cycling behavior that can cause interferences. Studies show driving mixed also a great challenge autonomous vehicles (AVs), it necessary consider interference of when selecting public roads testing. However, existing evaluation methods mostly focus functions accident analysis, although have...

Air Medical Journal 34:2 Since helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) took to the skies of America in the early 1970s, the accident rate has remained disproportionately high when compared with other segments of helicopter aviation. According to the Air Medical Memorial website, to date 374 people have lost their lives in air medical accidents, leaving more than 600 crash survivors who mus...

• Light inland helicopter is the most accident-prone sector within commercial aviation. Most studies point to human errors and technical failures as risk factors. Our analysis also points work-related factors framework conditions. Dealing with these conditions requires measures focusing on safety culture. E.g. self-imposed commonly accepted operational limits. has for several years been aviatio...

THIS book is in the best traditions of the publications supported by the Nuffield Provincial Hospitals Trust in that it is attractively produced, well written and highly topical. Indeed, it is not surprising that the Trust have sponsored this epidemiological study in these days when the human toll exacted by road accidents is a matter of national disquiet. The authors have dealt with the concep...

An IP performance management infrastructure that has the twin frameworks of performance measurement and topology monitoring is proposed. By combining above frameworks, the infrastructure locates performance-degraded segments. Since the Internet is still highly prone to performance deterioration due to congestion, router failure, and so on, not only detecting performance deterioration, but also ...

The sensitivity of optical coherence tomography images to sample morphology is tested by two methods. The first method estimates the attenuation of the OCT signal from various regions of the probed tissue. The second method uses a box-counting algorithm to calculate the fractal dimensions in the regions of interest identified in the images. Although both the attenuation coefficient as well as t...
