A study was conducted to evaluate a portable respiratory inductive plethysmograph (RIP) as means estimate minute ventilation (E) for use in controlling the flow rate of physiologic sampling pump (PSP). Specific aims were to: (1) ability RIP system measure E using direct (individual) fixed-volume calibration method (Direct model), (2) develop and performance indirect (group) regression models prediction output data from subject demographic characteristics (Indirect (3) compare estimates with...
Recently, physiologic sampling pumps (PSPs), which can adjust their rates in proportion to wearers' minute ventilation (V[combining dot above](E)), have been proposed better estimate exposure airborne contaminants the workplace. A laboratory evaluation was conducted compare performance of a new PSP with traditional pump (TSP) an chamber. Fifteen subjects (aged 19-36 years) performed two replicate sessions step-tests for correlated and uncorrelated scenarios on four separate days. When...
To examine the effects of navigation controls and field-of-view modes on cybersickness severity gait dynamics after cessation exposure to a virtual environment (VE).
The merits of using physiologic sampling pumps (PSPs) instead constant-flow pumps, i.e., "traditional pumps" (TSPs), are discussed. A novel PSP that overcomes shortcomings previous designs is presented. Calibrated valves used to obviate pump inertia has limited the system response and accuracy prior work. Technologies provide minute ventilation (V[combining dot above](E)) subjects in real time may therefore be limit their own accuracies sample inhalation exposures. Analysis design data from...
This study aimed to determine the effects of inflatable mat design on body discomfort, task performance, and musculoskeletal exposures during standing computer work. Twenty-seven healthy adults completed three 2-hour trials different mediums (concrete floor, foam mat, mat) days in an experimental laboratory. Both mats were associated with reduced discomfort all lower-body regions increased typing performance compared concrete floor. Perceived lower extremities (except thighs) was further...
Distraction, primarily owing to the widespread use of cell phones and mobile devices while walking, is a contributing factor pedestrian injuries. Pedestrians distracted by smartphones exhibit decreased situational awareness, influenced nature concurrent tasks. However, little known about neural correlations between smartphone responses safety-critical events in walking environment. An experiment involving 30 young adults investigated pedestrians’ ability selectively respond road objects...
