The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the effect unstable and unilateral resistance exercises on trunk muscle activation. Eleven subjects (6 men 5 women) between 20 45 years age participated. Six exercises, as well bilateral shoulder chest presses against resistance, were performed stable (bench) (Swiss ball) bases. Electromyographic activity upper lumbar, lumbosacral erector spinae, lower-abdominal muscles monitored. Instability generated greater activation stabilizer...
Autonomous vehicle and drones have become more popular in recent years whereas unmanned merchant vessels remain a less-matured concept. The MUNIN project examines the feasibility of autonomous vessel that is concurrently monitored by an operator onshore. Previous research suggests maintaining adequate situation awareness as primary challenge related to human-center automation. purpose this study was identify human factor issues remote monitoring controlling through scenario-based trials four...
The current industrial environment relies heavily on maritime transportation. Despite the continuous technological advances for development of innovative safety software and hardware systems, there is a consistent gap in scientific literature regarding objective evaluation performance operators. human factor profoundly affected by changes or psychological state. difficulty lies fact that technology, tools, protocols investigating are not fully mature suitable experimental investigation....
This paper proposes a new methodology that focuses on the effects of cold and harsh environments reliability human performance.As maritime operations move into Arctic Antarctic environments, decision makers must be able to recognize how weather affects performance subsequently adjusts management operational tools strategies.In present work, revised version Human Error Assessment Reduction Technique (HEART) has been developed assess likelihood error in offshore oil gas facilities. applied...
Abstract Maritime navigation is a complex task involving the acquisition, analysis, and interpretation of information using seamanship, professional knowledge, technology. As maritime industry transitions towards autonomous surface ships (MASS), there an increasing gap between operator This paper explores collision avoidance decision support system for from navigator's perspective. The system, developed by Wärtsilä, called Advanced Intelligent Manoeuvring (AIM) can generate suggestions...
This study investigated the energetics of walking on sand and grass. Fourteen adult males, participated in study. Participants had a mean age 34.6 years old, 72.6 kg mass 172.5 cm stature, who walked at 3, 4, 5, 6 7 km per h grass surfaces. Physiological measures included heart rate, O(2) uptake, CO(2) exhalation, ventilation relative uptake using MetaMax Ergospirometer. Speed was controlled methodology similar to 'Multistage 20-m Shuttle Run Test'. Data were collected during physiological...
Maximal voluntary isometric activations (MVIA) are frequently used as inputs for models attempting to predict muscle force and normalization values in studies assessing function. However, pain may adversely affect maximal activation. The purpose of this study was assess reliability MVIA electromyographic (EMG) activity during prone back extension subjects with without low (LBP). A novel sub-maximal method using the percentages estimated mass head–arms–trunk (HAT) segment also investigated....
The shipping industry constantly strives to achieve efficient use of energy during sea voyages. Previous research that can take advantages both ethnographic studies and big data analytics understand factors contributing fuel consumption seek solutions support decision making is rather scarce. This paper first employed regarding the a commercially available fuel-monitoring system. was contextualize real challenges on ships informed need taking approach efficiency (EE). Then this study...
