Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until quite recently conditions in industry were often rough. Long hours were worked in insanitary and murky workshops, often with little regard to the effects upon the workpeople who were considered to be expendable. Now, however, these adverse conditions have been recognized and so remedied that there remains little in industrial conditions to disturb the public conscience. This does not mean that conditions of work in office or factory are perfect. The obvious and dramatic abuses of the human frame may have gone, but in their place have arisen stresses and strains which, taking effect only in the long term, are generally undramatic and often unrecognized. They exist none the less. No organized effort to study the effect of working conditions on man's performance was made until the end of World War I, when the Industrial Fatigue Research Board was set up. For the first time, men trained in the human sciences entered industry to study men at work. They made con tributions which set a new standard of scientific investigation into human performance and allowed executive action on the basis of evidence rather than of hunch. The Board's work differed from the contribution of Gilbreth in America in that the principles of Motion Study which he developed were, to a large extent, based on intelligent observation rather than controlled experiment. During the 1920S the National Institute of Industrial Psychology was founded and there was close collaboration between it and the I.F.R.B.
Download or read book The Worker At Work written by T.Morris Fraser and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the title implies, this book is concerned with the totality of human problems in the workplace. It deals with topics that might otherwise be subsumed under the more specific headings of ergonomics, human factors and occupational hygiene, along with various aspects of industrial engineering, toxicology, psychology and medicine. Little or no specific background is required of the reader and there is minimal use of specialized terminology. A deliberately generalist viewpoint is taken by the author. The book is intended for such readers as the student or practitioner in ergonomics requiring knowledge more common to the occupational hygienist (or vice versa), and the industrial engineer, physician or human resources person seeking knowledge in both these areas - literally it is written for anyone with a professional or personal interest in health, safety and well-being in the workplace.

Download or read book LED Lighting for Urban Agriculture written by Toyoki Kozai and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on light-emitting diode (LED) lighting, mainly for the commercial production of horticultural crops in plant factories and greenhouses with controlled environments, giving special attention to: 1) plant growth and development as affected by the light environment; and 2) business and technological opportunities and challenges with regard to LEDs. The book contains more than 30 chapters grouped into seven parts: 1) overview of controlled-environment agriculture and its significance; 2) the effects of ambient light on plant growth and development; 3) optical and physiological characteristics of plant leaves and canopies; 4) greenhouse crop production with supplemental LED lighting; 5) effects of light quality on plant physiology and morphology; 6) current status of commercial plant factories under LED lighting; and 7) basics of LEDs and LED lighting for plant cultivation. LED lighting for urban agriculture in the forthcoming decades will not be just an advanced form of current urban agriculture. It will be largely based on two fields: One is a new paradigm and rapidly advancing concepts, global technologies for LEDs, information and communication technology, renewable energy, and related expertise and their methodologies; the other is basic science and technology that should not change for the next several decades. Consideration should be given now to future urban agriculture based on those two fields. The tremendous potentials of LED lighting for urban agriculture are stimulating many people in various fields including researchers, businesspeople, policy makers, educators, students, community developers, architects, designers, and entrepreneurs. Readers of this book will understand the principle, concept, design, operation, social roles, pros and cons, costs and benefits of LED lighting for urban agriculture, and its possibilities and challenges for solving local as well as global agricultural, environmental, and social issues.

This book was released on 1978-05-04 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shows how to apply ergonomics to manufacturing and service industries for increased productivity and reduced on-the-job hazards. Professionals concerned with the health, welfare, and performance of workers will learn the mechanics of the body for a priori design of work situations without having to resort to lengthy experimentation. This ``human engineering'' concept helps prevent occupational accidents, diseases and low levels of productivity which are often caused by the inadvertent neglect of basic biomechanical principles in the design of equipment or workplace layout.
