ISBN: 9780415237932 / Angielski / Miękka / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work covers hot, moderate and cold environments, and defines these in terms of six basic parameters: air temperature; radiate temperature; humidity; air velocity; clothing worn; and the person's activity. There is also a focus on the principles and practice of human response, which incorporates psychology, physiology and environmental physics with applied ergonomics. Water requirements, computer modelling and Computer-Aided Design are brought in, as are current standards. Special populations, such as the aged or disabled, are also considered. This remains the standard text for the design...

Using ergonomics in forensics can help prevent the recurrence of system failures through engineering or administrative controls. It can also raise the level of concern among professionals and the public regarding product, workplace, and service safety due to perceived exposure to liability. Even with such a potentially important and broad impact, forensic human factors is a subject that is neither taught nor systematically practiced. There is little documentation to help develop a knowledge of the field in a systematic way, nor is there a large pool of qualified practitioners.

Measuring Slipperiness: Human Locomotion and Surface Factors
ISBN: 9780415298285 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent decades, injury has begun to gain prominence as a public health and societal problem. Slipperiness and slip, trip, and fall (STF) injuries are among the greatest obstacles to reducing the injury burden. One of the biggest challenges in STF is defining and measuring slipperiness. After over half a century of serious research on what slipperiness is and how it can be measured, rapid progress has been made in the decade of the 90s.
Measuring Slipperiness: Human Locomotion and Surface Factors provides an overview of basic concepts and definitions of terms related to the 'measurement...
