In the 3 years to June 30, 2008, 4,633 injuries occurring underground at NSW (Australia) coal mines were reported to the insurer. Equipment was involved in 2149 of these injuries (46%). The narrative field accompanying these reports was examined to determine opportunities for controlling injury risks. The most common equipment types involved were: Continuous miner (12% of all underground injuri...

(96%). The frequency of effective cleaning of high-touch surfaces in occupied patient rooms significantly improved following education (Table). Conclusion. A novel educational program, designed using adult learning theory, that addressed ESW’s self-identified challenges was well-received and appears to have resulted in learning, behavior change, and improved daily cleaning. Future research will...

Selection Algorithm and Generation Algorithm of elliptic curves have been the focus of research and hotspot of the Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem. This paper discusses a random elliptic curve realization method of Embedded Mobile Equipment, the SEA algorithm and its improved algorithm from Elliptic Curve's selection, Elliptic Curve's structure and Elliptic Curve's generation. Ensuring that the emb...

We observed an anomaly in the human electroencephalogram (EEG) associated with exposure to terrestrial trunked radio (TETRA) Radiofrequency Fields (RF). Here, we characterize the time and frequency components of the anomaly and demonstrate that it is an artefact caused by TETRA RF interfering with the EEG recording equipment and not by any direct or indirect effect on the brain.

Use of mobile equipment has increased exponentially over the last decade. As use becomes more widespread so too does the demand for new functionalities. The limited memory and computational power of many mobile devices has proven to be a challenge resulting in many innovative solutions and a number of new standards. Despite this, there is often a requirement for additional enhancement to improv...

The hydraulic system of mobile garbage compression equipment was studied according to its actual working conditions. A simulation model of the hydraulic system was established with AMESim software, and the speed and acceleration of the piston rod were simulated. Simulation results show that the designed hydraulic system can achieve the action requirements. The experiment also shows the similar ...

Abstract: A multi-proposal mobile system for electroencephalography recording is here presented, which is based on a previous modification of a consumer EEG equipment, with the intention to be used for BCI proposes. Still, for test purposes, a reference displacement was done to compare the data with its original position. To validate this equipment, SSVEP and ERD/ERS trials analysis were done, ...

We present a hierarchical planning system and its application to robotic manipulation. The novel features of the system are: 1) it finds high-quality kinematic solutions to task-level problems; 2) it takes advantage of subtask-specific irrelevance information, reusing optimal solutions to state-abstracted subproblems across the search space. We briefly describe how the system handles uncertaint...
