Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsChallenges in Healthcare Waste Management of the UN 2030 Agenda in the COVID-19 EraGabriella Marfe, Stefania Perna, Arturo HermannToday, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a remarkable and sudden increase in global demand for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as masks, gloves, gowns. The growing biomedical and municipal streams of potentially infectious waste is a new challenge for every country since an inadequate waste management might have serious public health consequences and significant impact on the environment. In this … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 7 Mar 2022 · 7,576 accessesView PDF Cite

Technical ReportOpen accessIn the abstractInfluences of Tactile Sensation on Pinch Force under Loaded and Unloaded ConditionsPoh Kiat Ng, Kian Siong Jee, Adi Saptari, Chiew Yean NgAlthough researchers have studied various parameters that affect grip force, few studies investigate the effects of tactile sensation on pinch force. This study aims to determine the influences of tactile sensation on pinch force with a special emphasis on screw knobs under loaded and unloaded conditions. The participants included 32 manual workers who were required to pinch and turn the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 8 · 17 Sep 2015 · 6,904 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMATERIAL PARAMETER OF RUBBER GLOVE VULCANIZED USING COMBINED INFRARED AND HOT-AIR HEATINGTipapon Khamdaeng, Numpon Panyoyai, Thanasit WongsiriamnuayVulcanization is an important chemical-thermal process in production of rubber products resulting in change of material properties, increased elasticity and strength. In general, Youngâ€™s modulus is used as an indicator of elastic deformation at loading configuration. However, rubber is not truly elastic and a single parameter is insufficient to describe the whole deformation contributed by microstructure of rubber network. Therefore, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2014 · 7,305 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA REVIEW ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDONESIAN SIGN LANGUAGE RECOGNITION SYSTEMSutarman, Mazlina Abdul Majid, Jasni Mohamad ZainSign language is mainly employed by hearing-impaired people to communicate with each other. However, communication with normal people is a major handicap for them since normal people do not understand their sign language. Sign language recognition is needed for realizing a human oriented interactive system that can perform an interaction like normal communication. Sign language recognition basically uses two approaches: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 27 Sep 2013 · 8,691 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntervened 2-Tier Poisson Distribution for Understanding Hospital Site InfectivityR. ShanmugamProblem statement: Whether it is a surgical site or medical treatment at a hospital site, the nurses in particular and the entire medical team including surgeons/physicians in general undergo a risk of being infected ironically by the patients whom they intend to disinfect. There are 2-tiers of patients at the site. One type consists of patients who are internally and … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2012 · 6,925 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach to Dynamic Signature Verification Using Sensor-Based Data gloveShohel Sayeed, Nidal S. Kamel, Rosli BesarData glove is a new dimension in the field of virtual reality environments, initially designed to satisfy the stringent requirements of modern motion capture and animation professionals. In this study we try to shift the implementation of data glove from motion animation towards signature verification problem, making use of the offered multiple degrees of freedom for each finger and for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,147 accessesView PDF Cite
