HAZARD REVIEW: HEALTH EFFECTS OF OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO ASPHALT

In 1977 the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reviewed the available health effects data on occupational exposure to asphalt and asphalt fumes. NIOSH determined that the principal adverse health effects were irritation of the serous membranes of the conjunctivae and the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. Since them, additional data from studies on both animals and humans exposed to asphalt, paving and roofing asphalt fume condensates, and asphalt-based paints have become available. This report provides a review and evaluation of these new data, as well as other information.

Ratingscales in Kansei Engineering : Modification for an European Context

Kansei or Affective Engineering is a relatively new research field in the West.Linkoping University in Sweden has been pioneering research and applicationwithin Kansei Engineering since 1999. Several companies have cooperated indifferent Kansei studies, for example Toyota/BT, Volvo, Saab, Scania. In some of theearly studies, there were difficulties to apply the methodology. Reasons for thisincluded shortage of competence within affective design in European organizations,but also the fact that incitements for improvement of product design seemed to belacking. One of the problems applying the methodology was that Europeanparticipants in the studies did not accept to make a vast number of ratings duringlong time periods. Japanese researchers used 5-point semantic differentialquestionnaires and up to 300 rating-scales per participant and product. In order toovercome this problem, a modification of the rating scales was developed. Hence,data reduction methods such as factor analysis, affinity diagram and Pareto chartswere tested and validated in order to reduce the number of Kansei words andproduct samples used, without compromising the validity of the result. Thisapproach eventually resulted in the development of a universal Kansei EngineeringSoftware (KESo) which reduces the time needed for each Kansei Engineering study.Another objective for our research has been to develop and validate methods forincomplete data collection, i.e. a prioritization of product attributes. Another resultfrom the cooperation with industrial companies is that the companies stronglyemphasised that product development studies need to be less time and resourceconsuming.Keywords:
A Zero Public Infrastructure Vehicle Based Traffic Information System

This paper introduces an innovative completely decentralized vehicle- based traffic information system that does not involve any public investment from government agencies to build, manage and maintain the necessary infrastructure; it relies, instead, on information exchanged by the vehicles themselves. We present the basic design issues and perform some initial analysis for an idealized freeway at various levels of market penetration and congestion. Relationships are derived for the propagation speed of the information wave versus that of the traffic shock wave in case of bottlenecks. On a network, similar results are produced from a modified simulator. Finally, the communication needs are analyzed assuming that the IEEE 802.11 wireless communication standards for inter-vehicle is adopted

A Report on Coralliidae (Cnidaria: Octocorallia) Specimens Collected from the Emperor Seamounts with Descriptions of Three New Species

Investigations were carried out on 22 deep-water octocoral specimens in the family Coralliidae sampled from the Emperor Seamounts during 2009 to 2012. The specimens were collected from 350–1100 m deep, mostly from the southernmost region of the Emperor Seamounts. Colonies were identified by visual and microscopic observation of standard morphological characters (colony size, diameters of colony base and branches, diameter and height of autozooid mound, thickness of coenenchyme and sclerite sizes, etc.) along with supporting information from molecular DNA analysis. Half of the 22 specimens were identified as Pleurocorallium cf. pusillum (Kishinouye, 1903), suggesting that the species called “Mid” that was once harvested dominantly in this area was this species. The remaining 11 specimens were identified as genus Hemicorallium Gray, 1867. These were identified as belonging to the following species: one previously described species [H. laauense (Bayer, 1956)], three similar species [H. cf. abyssale (Bayer, 1956), H. cf. regale (Bayer, 1956), H. cf. sulcatum (Kishinouye, 1903)] and three new species (H. kaiyo sp. nov., H. muzikae sp. nov. and H. tokiyasui sp. nov.).

The operation of the PV array is analysed using PSPICE. The efficiency of the system is improved with a maximum power point tracker (MPPT) and a sun-tracker. Simulation and field test results are presented.
The prediction of helicopter rotor discrete frequency noise

An accurate prediction of the noise produced by helicopters requires a good understanding of the noise generating mechanisms involved. Such an understanding can lead to controlling the noise of existing helicopters by avoiding noisy regimes of flight or by redesigning the main and tail rotors. The present investigation is concerned with approaches which are suitable for the calculation of discrete frequency noise of helicopter rotors. The governing differential equation of acoustics used in a consideration of acoustic formulations is the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings (FW-H) equation. Attention is given to a method reported by Farassat (1981), a method developed by Succi (1979), and a procedure discussed by Woan and Gregorek (1978).

Inuence of Walking Surfaces and Speeds on Accelerometer-Based Gait Recognition

Identification and verification first line of defence of every secure system. Due to the advancement of technology and miniaturization, the use of mobile devices is highly increased since last decade. Nowadays, mobile phones are more powerful than the computers of early days of last decade. Today, mobile phones hold a lot of personal and sensitive data, which must be protected using most reliable, robust, convenient and cost effective authentication mechanisms.Biometric authentication is one of the three methods of identi cation. Gait authentication is one type of biometric authentication that operates on behavioral characteristics of human beings. There are dierent approaches in gait authentication. In this thesis, we have used wearable sensor based approach and for this purpose Google G1 smart phone is used to collect gait data. This thesis is an attempt tond out the inuence of dierent walking speeds (slow, normal and fast) and surfaces (at carpeted, grass, gravel and inclined) on gait recognition. This gait data is collected from 48 subjects for these six dierent walk settings in two sessions on dierent days to measure same day and cross day performance. Later, dierent mathematical and machine learning concepts are used to analyze recorded data and extract typical gait cycle for each subject. Dierent evaluations are conducted to nd out best parameter settings of these methods.For different walking speeds, same-day results vary between 14% to 29%, and cross day results vary between 29% and 35%. Similarly, for different walking surfaces, same-day results vary between 9.78% to 39%, and cross day results vary between 28% to 42%. Results of tests conducted for one walk setting clearly reects that slight change in parameters also inuences the results.
The New Why Teams Don't Work: What Goes Wrong and How to Make It Right

What are today's teams really like, and why are they failing? In their new book, authors Harvey Robbins and Michael Finley explain what they see as the reason: teams fail largely because they don't think through the human implications of teaming.The New Why Teams Don't Work is as much about people as it is about business. This handbook will help team members and leaders maintain the highest level of social and emotional intelligence by making them more aware of their own needs, conflicts, and peculiarities.Among the new chapters are ""Collaboration vs. Teamwork,"" ""Team Balance,"" ""The Death of Teamwork,"" ""The Team of One,"" and ""Teams at the Top.

Relation-specific investments in business relationships – scale development and validation ----- It's title in Hungarian: Kapcsolat-specifikus beruházások üzleti kapcsolatokban – mérési skála fejlesztése és validálása

Abstract: Relation-specific investment in business relationships is not a new, but still a core concept of several research and academic publications. Globalization, intense competition, short product life cycles are only a view phenomenon of today’s turbulent economy that lead to more intense collaboration between cooperating partners necessitating such relation-specific investments. In this working paper we basically aim at measuring these relation-specific investments. But in order to be able to measure them, first we have to conceptualize it, develop a scale and also test and validate it. ----- Absztrakt: Az uzleti kapcsolatokban felhalmozott kapcsolat-specifikus befektetes vizsgalata nem uj keletű, de mind a mai napig fontos koncepciot jelent az uzleti kapcsolatok tanulmanyozasat vegző kutatok szamara.

DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF JACKET PLATFORM TO RANDOM WAVES

A practical approach to the calculation of random wave response of offshore platforms is given in this paper. The platform is regarded as a space frame. The waves travel along arbitrary direction on the sea surface. The effect of added water mass is involved, and the drag forces are revised iteratively which is a modification of the Borgman's assumption. Multi-level substructuring technique can be easily combined with this method. The non-proportional damping matrix can be dealt with conveniently without having to solve complex eigen problems. The closely spaced eigen modes will not result in errors of calculated power spectral density as the cross correlation in terms of different modes have been taken into account. In addition, the implementation of this method is rather simple especially for multi-level substructure models.
An autonomous lightweight actuated orthosis to support ankle plantar flexion

This thesis aimed to design and realize an autonomous actuated ankle foot orthosis that - by injecting power around the ankle joint - can increase mobility of patients with walking impairments. Ankle plantarflexion is a good target for adding this extra support because of the isolated boost of power that needs to be generated during push-off which patients often lack. The conceptual phase resulted in a mechanical design that uses an electric motor and ball-screw gear to create a linear actuator that exerts ankle power via a linkage mechanism. A spring was implemented between the actuator and load, by making the output linkage flexible (a leaf spring). To minimize de devices weight, the approach of this thesis was to find the optimal actuation system, which accounts for a significant part of the total weight of the orthosis. This was done by creating a dynamic model of the motor and gear and use it to optimize the parameters of the linkage mechanism and spring for the amount of push-off power supplied to the ankle. Given the optimized actuation system, the rest of the design was designed and created. Doing walking tests with humans was beyond the scope of this thesis, but preliminary tests to assess the device's performance showed that: (1) The mass of the orthosis is 1.5 kg and mass of the backpack is 5.2 kg, (2) The backpack contains a functional joint torque controller, and (3) The device is capable of autonomous operation. With this set of specifications our ankle-foot orthosis is powered, autonomous and the lightest currently build. We hope that further research with our orthosis will increase the quality of life of patients currently living with a walking impairment.
Short‐term rainfall forecasting using radar data

Abstract This paper describes the application of two methods for short‐term rainfall forecasting using radar data. The first method is based on the linear extrapolation of the centroids of features of rainfall cells, whereas the second method utilizes cross‐correlation techniques applied to the radar rainfall fields. Storm events from a region suffering from frequent and hazardous flash floods within the 120 km umbrella of the WSR‐74 S‐band radar located at the Larissa military airport in central Greece were analysed and processed. After the suppression of the ground clutter map, the subtraction of the errors due to anomalous propagation, beam refraction and losses, and the merging of radar and raingauge rainfall data, a multiple‐step‐ahead forecast was carried out by setting lead times 40, 80, 120 and 160 minutes ahead. It was found that both methods gave results of acceptable accuracy for the 40 and 80‐minute rainfall forecasting, while for the 120‐and 160‐minute forecasting the results were of relative.
