Methods and systems used to measure and monitor occupational disease and injury in New Zealand
The National Occupational Health and Safety Advisory Committee (NOHSAC) commissioned Health Outcomes
International to conduct a review of methods and systems used to measure and monitor occupational disease and
injury in New Zealand. This is NOHSAC’s second project designed to provide an independent evidence-based
assessment of some of the measures that would deliver the greatest benefit for the prevention of occupational
injury and disease in New Zealand
Global SPACING Constraint (Technical Report)
We propose a new global SPACING constraint that is useful in modeling events
that are distributed over time, like learning units scheduled over a study
program or repeated patterns in music compositions. First, we investigate
theoretical properties of the constraint and identify tractable special cases.
We propose efficient DC filtering algorithms for these cases. Then, we
experimentally evaluate performance of the proposed algorithms on a music
composition problem and demonstrate that our filtering algorithms outperform
the state-of-the-art approach for solving this problem
Human response to vibration in residential environments (NANR209), executive summary
The aim of the Defra-funded project NANR209 ‘Human response to vibration in residential environments’ was to develop exposure-response relationships for vibration experienced in residential environments from sources outside of the residents’ control. The project was performed at the University of Salford between January 2008 and March 2011. The final report was published on the Defra website on 6th September 2012.
The NANR209 Final Report consists of the following documents:
• Executive summary
• Final project report
• Technical report 1: Measurement of vibration exposure
• Technical report 2: Measurement of response
• Technical report 3: Calculation of vibration exposure
• Technical report 4: Measurement and calculation of noise exposure
• Technical report 5: Analysis of the social survey findings
• Technical report 6: Determination of exposure-response relationships
This document is the Executive summary
UKERC Review of evidence for the rebound effect: Technical report 2: Econometric studies
This Working Paper examines the evidence for direct rebound effects that is available from studies that use econometric techniques to analyse secondary data. The focus throughout is on consumer energy services, since this is where the bulk of the evidence lies
