Interactive Effects of Physical and Mental Workload: A Study of Muscle Function, Capacity and Exertion Type
Workers experience combined physical and mental demands in their daily jobs, yet the contribution of these concurrent demands in the development of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) is not clearly understood. There is a need to understand how concurrent demands interact with different …

A hybrid static/dynamic approach to scheduling stream programs
… between actors at compile-time and generates a static schedule that determines where and when actors are executed on the available cores. Statically scheduling actors onto cores results in no scheduling overhead at runtime and allows for sophisticated compile-time scheduling optimizations. …

Gaming the Network Poetic: Networking and Code in Art Games
<p>Videogames have historically used networking either to connect players for competition or cooperation or to provide an ephemeral connection to allow the upload, comparison, or assessment of single-player achievement data. The majority of videogames take place on a screen and on established …

Localized muscle fatigue during isotonic and nonisotonic isometric efforts
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are prevalent in the workplace, and epidemiology studies show that these problems do not tend to diminish. While the use of new and advanced technology has substantially reduced the amount of physical workload, repetitive manual activities are still …

Muscle Activation Patterns and Chronic Neck-Shoulder Pain in Computer Work
Prolonged computer work is associated with high rates of neck and shoulder pain symptoms, and as computers have become increasingly more common, it is becoming critical that we develop sustainable interventions targeting this issue. Static muscle contractions for prolonged periods often occur in …

Mechanisms of deformation in beta-brass single crystals
… behaviour of β-brass single crystals under static and dynamic loading. It was aimed at elucidating the mechanisms of deformation, using optical microscopy to examine slip habits and transmission electron microscopy to examine dislocation substructures. Marked differences were observed in the …

Identification and Quantification of Workstation Set Up on Risk Factors Associated with the Development of Low Back and Neck Discomfort
Work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) remain the focus of research efforts as costs associated with these disorders range from 13 to 54 billion dollars annually. WMSDs associated with the back and neck compromise almost 27% of all reported WMSDs. Approximately 1/3 of visual display terminal …
