The domain of data processing is essential to accelerate the delivery information based on electronic performance monitoring (EPM). classification activities conducted by craft workers can enhance mechanisation and productivity activities. However, research in this field mainly simulations binary (i.e., performing or not an action). To EPM field, a dynamic laboratory circuit-based simulation te...

Penetrating ocular trauma is one of the most important causes of vision loss, especially in men, and can be associated with intraocular foreign bodies. The incidence of intraocular cilia after trauma is very low. Here we report the case of a 24-year-old man who visited Poostchi Ophthalmology Clinic (Shiraz, Iran) due to a gradual vision loss in his left eye over the past 2 months. The probable ...

The standard penetration test (SPT) is a widely used in situ method worldwide that can evaluate soil properties based on the blow counts (N-value). N-value depends properties, and energy transferred to drill pipe during hammering. Currently, European American scholars generally believe variation amount of hammer transmitted due different types drop systems primary factor leads variations N-valu...

Brass metal work is one of the oldest cottage industries in West Bengal, India. Workers performing rigorous hand intensive jobs are likely to suffer from MSD affecting the upper limbs. The present investigation was intended to establish the prevalence of upper limb MSD among the brass metal workers and to identify the causative factors behind its development. In this study, 50 male brass metal ...

Accelerometer and gyrometer data were collected from 3 construction workers during regular work days in order to distinguish between different activities. These activities hammering, sawing, sweeping and drilling were collected with a smart watch attached to the worker’s dominant hand, with a sampling rate of 25Hz. The dataset was divided into training and test set with two different partitions...

PURPOSE To review records of 17 patients who sustained a tibial or femoral intra-operative fracture during primary cemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA) METHODS. Records of 1346 primary cemented TKAs using the NexGen LPS fluted tibial component performed by a single surgeon were reviewed. 12 tibial and 5 femoral intra-operative fractures occurred in 5 men and 12 women aged 54 to 83 (mean, 71.6...

In July 1864, when at Googaira, I occupied a house about 40 yards from the Post Office, where the bullock train carts used to change bullocks. One evening, while sitting out of doors after dark, I heard the cart arrive, and the sound of the pole of the cart striking the ground, and almost at the same time a man cried out that he was bitten by a snake. I, and the friend I lived with, ran over to...

A fourth century BCE silver jewellery collection, which is part of two hoards of Samarian coins (the Samaria and Nablus Hoards), was studied by non-destructive analyses. The collection, which consists of pendants, rings, beads and earrings, had been examined by visual testing, multi-focal microscopy and SEM-EDS analysis. In order to enhance our knowledge of past technologies of silver jewellery...

Solid microparticles, whose diameter lies far in the micrometer range (μm), such as pollen, spores, starch-granules, cellulose particles, silicates, crystals, diatoms, soot particles and other natural and industrial dusts are regularly incorporated in a noteworthy quantity in the alimentary tract. Their paracellular translocation through transitory leaks in the epithelial cell layer has been co...
