Physical Fatigue at Work: Prevalence and Interventions
(2019-07-23)
Advanced manufacturing has resulted in significant changes on the shop-floor, influencing
work demands and the working environment. The corresponding safety-related impacts, including
fatigue, have not been fully captured ...
Physical Layer Approach to Secure Visible Light Communication and Sensing
(2022-04-15)
Visible Light (VL) is a wireless technology that uses visible light (400 ~ 790 THz) as the medium to transmit information (i.e., visible light communication or VLC) or sense user's activities (i.e., visible light sensing ...
Physical Map Construction and Physical Characterization of Channel Catfish Genome
(2007-08-15)
Catfish is the major aquaculture species in the United States. To enhance genome studies involving linkage mapping, comparative mapping and linkage map and physical map integration, over 20,000 Bacterial Artificial Chromosome ...
Physical Therapists' Knowledge of and Attitudes Towards Treating Chronic Pain
(2023-05-04)
Physical Therapists’ Knowledge of and Attitudes Towards Treating Chronic Pain is an
investigation into physical therapists’ knowledge and perceptions of treating patients with
chronic pain. Chronic pain is a major ...
Physical treatments for reducing biomass ash and effect of ash content on pyrolysis products
(2015-07-23)
There is increasing concern of greenhouse gas effect and the depletion of fossil fuels. Different renewable energy sources such as hydro, wind, solar have been considered as a potential replacement for fossil fuel. Bio-energy, ...
Physical-Chemical and Biological Characterization of Small Streams Following Intensive Forest Management Practices in the Coastal Plain of Alabama
(2007-12-15)
This study measured changes in five first-order streams (S 1 through S 5) following management techniques including clearcut logging and chemical (S 2 and S 3) and mechanical site preparation (S 4 and S 5). The herbicides ...
Physicochemical and Ignition Properties of Dust from Loblolly Pine Wood
(2013-07-16)
Energy derived from biomass has attracted considerable attention because of increasing energy demand, high crude oil prices and environment and climate concerns. Biomass must be harvested and processed before conversion ...
Physicochemical and Nutritional Properties of Selected Banana (Musa spp.) Cultivated in Southeastern U.S.
(2019-08-03)
Globally, banana (Musa spp.) is considered a daily dietary staple food for millions of
individuals. This fruit is a source of phytochemicals such as carotenoids and phenolic compounds,
with health-promoting effects. There ...
