Development of Standard Data for Donning and Doffing Personal Protective Equipment
(2016-08-05)
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is specialized clothing or equipment worn to minimize exposure to a variety of occupational hazards. It has been estimated that 20 million U.S. workers wear some form of PPE. How much ...
Development of Striae Distensae - A Mechanochemical Model
(2007-05-15)
Striae distensae, otherwise known as stretch marks, are common skin lesions found
in a variety of clinical settings. They occur frequently during adolescence or pregnancy
when there is rapid tissue expansion, but may ...
Development of Test Methods for Evaluation of Bending Stiffness and Compressive Modulus of Braided Composite Lattice Structures
(2015-01-14)
Open Architecture Composite Structures (O-ACS) have been recently developed and are known for their high modulus per unit weight. They are truss structures preformed on a mandrel shaped as a cylindrical, elliptical or ...
Development of Test Protocols for Analysis of Low Back Exertions in Standing Position
(2012-05-16)
More than 80 percent of people suffer from low back pain at some point in their lifetime costing losses of up to $9 billion because of treatment and loss of work hours in the US alone. Kinematics and kinetics of body ...
Development of the Catfish 250K SNP Array for Genome-Wide Association Studies
