ErgoExplorer: Interactive Ergonomic Risk Assessment from Video Collections

Ergonomic risk assessment is now, due to an increased awareness, carried out more often than in the past. The conventional risk assessment evaluation, based on expert-assisted observation of the workplaces and manually filling in score tables, is still predominant. Data analysis is usually done with a focus on critical moments, although without the support of contextual information and changes over time. In this paper we introduce ErgoExplorer, a system for the interactive visual analysis of risk assessment data. In contrast to the current practice, we focus on data that span across multiple actions and multiple workers while keeping all contextual information. Data is automatically extracted from video streams. Based on carefully investigated analysis tasks, we introduce new views and their corresponding interactions. These views also incorporate domain-specific score tables to guarantee an easy adoption by domain experts. All views are integrated into ErgoExplorer, which relies on coordinated multiple views to facilitate analysis through interaction. ErgoExplorer makes it possible for the first time to examine complex relationships between risk assessments of individual body parts over long sessions that span multiple operations. The newly introduced approach supports analysis and exploration at several levels of detail, ranging from a general overview, down to inspecting individual frames in the video stream, if necessary. We illustrate the usefulness of the newly proposed approach applying it to several datasets.Fil: Massiris, Manlio. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

Gas Holdup in a Trayed Cold-Flow Bubble Column

An Experimental Study Was Performed to Investigate the Effect of Sieve Trays on the Time-Averaged Gas Holdup Profiles and the overall Gas Holdup in a Cold-Flow Bubble Column that Was Scaled-Down from a Commercial Unit. Γ-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) Was Used to Scan the Column at Several Axial Locations in the Presence and Absence of Trays from Which the Local Variation of the Gas Holdup Was Extracted. the overall Gas Holdup Was Also Determined using the Same Configuration by Comparing the Expanded and Static Liquid Heights. Air and Water Were Used as the Gas-Liquid System. the Superficial Gas and Liquid Velocities Were Selected to Span the Range of the Commercial System using Gas Spargers Having Multiple Lateral Distributors that Were Also Scaled-Down from the Commercial Design. to Investigate the Impact of Sparger Hole Density on the Local and overall Gas Holdup, Two Difference Sparger Designs Were Used in Which the Hole Density Per Lateral Was Varied. the Gas Hole Velocity Was Maintained Constant at Ca. 245 M/s, Which Approached that Used in the Commercial Reactor. It is Shown that the Local Gas Holdup Determined by CT is Generally Higher in the Tray Down Comer Region and Exhibits an Asymmetric Pattern When Trays Are Present. the Use of Increased Sparger Hole Density at a Constant Gas Superficial Velocity Leads to Steeper Gradient in the Gas Holdup Near the Column Centerline and a Higher overall Gas Holdup. These Findings Suggest that the Performance of Bubble Column Reactors for Various Applications is Sensitive to Both Sparger and Tray Design. © 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All Rights Reserved

Measurement of the cross-section and charge asymmetry of WW bosons produced in proton-proton collisions at s=8\sqrt{s}=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector

This paper presents measurements of the $W^+ \rightarrow \mu^+\nu$ and $W^- \rightarrow \mu^-\nu$ cross-sections and the associated charge asymmetry as a function of the absolute pseudorapidity of the decay muon. The data were collected in proton--proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC and correspond to a total integrated luminosity of 20.2~\mbox{fb^{-1}}. The precision of the cross-section measurements varies between 0.8% to 1.5% as a function of the pseudorapidity, excluding the 1.9% uncertainty on the integrated luminosity. The charge asymmetry is measured with an uncertainty between 0.002 and 0.003. The results are compared with predictions based on next-to-next-to-leading-order calculations with various parton distribution functions and have the sensitivity to discriminate between them.Comment: 38 pages in total, author list starting page 22, 5 figures, 4 tables, submitted to EPJC.
