BACKGROUND Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are a common health problem throughout the world and a major cause of disability in the workplace. OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence rate of MSDs, assessment of ergonomics working conditions and identification of major risk factors associated with MSDs symptoms among employees of Iranian petrochemical industries between October 200...

A newer exposure tool has been developed for health and safety practitioners to assess the exposure to risks for work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The tool is based on the practitioners’ needs for such a tool and “state of the art” research findings. QEC has been tested, modified and validated based upon various simulated and practical tasks, with the help of up to 150 practitioners. The ...

Quantum information is vulnerable to environmental noise and experimental imperfections, hindering the reliability of practical quantum processors. Therefore, error correction (QEC) that can protect against vital for universal scalable computation. Among many different platforms, superconducting circuits bosonic encodings in microwave modes are appealing their unprecedented potential QEC. Durin...

This report contains the comprehensive explanation of some most important quantum error correction codes. After the brief corroboration of the quantum mechanical principles that govern any quantum mechanical process, we introduce stabilizer formalism and stabilizer codes for quantum error correction (QEC). As an interesting derivative from classical counterpart we also present Quantum Reed Mull...

musculoskeletal disorders have devoted a high percentage of occupational injuries and is one of the leading causes of occupational injuries and disabilities in industrialized and developing countries. the aims of this study were to evaluate exposure of musculoskeletal disorders risk factors by quick exposure check (qec) technique and to determine prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and thei...
