Ergonomics and Safety in Hand Tool Design

Ergonomics and Safety in Hand Tool Design

This book focuses exclusively on ergonomics in the design and use of hand tools. Hand tools have been an integral supplement to the human hand since the beginning of civilization. Recently they have been pinpointed as a prominent cause of workplace disease. Cumulative Trauma Disorders such as Tendonitus Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Raynaud's Syndrome are caused by the specialization of motion employed when using a screw driver the shock to the hand and wrist when a hammer strikes a nail or the vibration of a power saw. Ergonomics and Safety in Hand Tool Design explores the relationship between Biomechanics Safety and Ergonomics allowing the reader to recognize evaluate and control ergonomic risk factors and improve hand tool design. After a history of hand tool use and design the book is broken down by the various disciplines as they apply to hand tools taking a broad approach. The author gives special attention to safe design and use illustrated with detailed diagrams. The text serves as a guide to the human factors in safety and ergonomics for safety professionals.

Cognition and Tool Use Forms of Engagement in Human and Animal Use of Tools

Cognition and Tool Use Forms of Engagement in Human and Animal Use of Tools

The ability to use tools is a distinguishing feature of human beings. It represents a complex psychomotor activity that we are only now beginning to comprehend. Robust new theoretical accounts allow us to better understand how people use tools and explain differences in human and animal tool use from the perspective of cognitive science. Our understanding needs to be grounded upon research into how people use tools which draws upon many disciplines from ergonomics to anthropology to cognitive science to neuropsychology. Cognition and Tool Use: Forms of Engagement in Human and Animal Use of Tools presents a single coherent account of human tool use as a complex psychomotor activity. It explains how people use tools and how this activity can succeed or fail then describes the design and development of usable tools. This book considers contemporary tool use in domains such as surgery and considers future developments in human-computer interfaces such as haptic virtual reality and tangible user interfaces. No other single text brings together the research from the different disciplines ranging from archaeology and anthropology to psychology and ergonomics which contribute to this topic. Graduate students professionals and researchers will find this guide to be invaluable. | Cognition and Tool Use Forms of Engagement in Human and Animal Use of Tools

Confidential Informant Law Enforcement's Most Valuable Tool

Confidential Informant Law Enforcement's Most Valuable Tool

He baffled and eluded law enforcement officers for nearly two decades. In the end however it wasn't the painstaking forensic analysis of hundreds of pieces of crime scene evidence that led to the capture of the Unabomber-but the lucky tip of an informant. Truth of the matter is for all their sophistication and hi-tech science crime-fighting techniques such as fingerprint and DNA analysis are a factor in less than one percent of all criminal cases. In the overwhelming number of crimes informants have provided the necessary ammunition needed to bring criminals to justice from Genovese to Gotti and Capone to Dillinger. Confidential Informant: Understanding Law Enforcement's Most Valuable Tool explores the covert and clandestine world of informants-revealing the secrets of how to find them and make the most out of them while at the same time avoiding the pitfalls of dealing with them. Using case studies in which informants played key roles in solving crimes the book examines all aspects of informant development and management from the motivation of the informant to the legal problems that accompany the use of informants in criminal cases. Written by John Madinger a former narcotics agent supervisor and administrator and currently a Senior Special Agent with the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service Confidential Informant: Understanding Law Enforcement's Most Valuable Tool examines the emotional and behavioral characteristics of the informant as well as the psychology of trust and betrayal. The book also illustrates techniques for improving interviewing and communication skills when dealing with informants and provides invaluable forms that can be used in connection with these vital sources of information. | Confidential Informant Law Enforcement's Most Valuable Tool

Regional Innovation Potential: The Case of the U.S. Machine Tool Industry

Regional Innovation Potential: The Case of the U.S. Machine Tool Industry

This title was first published in 2000: Steven Nivin analyzes a process vital to economic development - technological change. He furthers understanding of the processes driving innovation so that we may gain a deeper insight into the development of economies. Specifically the study explores the concept of innovation potential and the factors that result in variations in innovation potential across metropolitan areas using the US machine tool industry as a case study. To provide a comparison the same models are also estimated for the semiconductor industry. The findings indicate that urbanisation economies localization economies human capital universities and invention-derived knowledge are significant factors. The study assesses the contributions of three different skill levels of human capital; college-educated graduate degree and locally produced PhD’s in mechanical and electrical engineering. Only the graduate and PhD degree measures are found to be significant indicating the importance of having a highly skilled pool of labour within the region. The influences of the factors appear to be similar across industries with some slight differences. The transfer of knowledge through patents is also studied. It is found that the transmission of this knowledge is slower between different industries relative to the transmission within the same industry. | Regional Innovation Potential: The Case of the U.
