Gender influences on spine loads during complex lifting

Marras, William S.; Davis, Kermit; Jorgensen, Michael J. (Elsevier, 2003-03)

Background context: Previous research has documented differences in spine loading between genders when the imposed load is normalized relative to the size of the person. However, under realistic work conditions the magnitude ...
User interaction in a power-wall based virtual reality environment

Deligiannidis, L.; Whitman, Lawrence (IEEE, 2003-03-22)

The Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department at Wichita State University is developing an integrated set of virtual reality models of a manufacturing line of Boeing Wichita. The purpose of this research is to ...
Cross-sectional area of the lumbar back muscles as a function of torso flexion

Jorgensen, Michael J.; Marras, William S.; Gupta, Purnendu (Pergamon, 2003-05)

Quantification of the maximum anatomical cross-sectional area of the lumbar back muscles as a function of torso flexion angle and development of prediction equations as a function of torso flexion and anthropometric measures.
Venom variation and chemoreception of the viperid Agkistrodon contortrix: evidence for adaptation?

Greenbaum, Eli; Galeva, Nadezhda; Jorgensen, Michael J. (Springer, 2003-08)

Previous studies of chemoreceptive behavior in vipers suggest that snakes focus on the scent of envenomated tissue to track their prey following envenomation. Other studies have indicated a correlation between qualitative ...
Effect of torso flexion on the lumbar torso extensor muscle sagittal plane moment arms

Jorgensen, Michael J.; Marras, William S.; Gupta, Purnendu; Waters, Thomas R. (Elsevier BV, 2003-09)

Accurate anatomical inputs for biomechanical models are necessary for valid estimates of internal loading. The magnitude of the moment arm of the lumbar erector muscle group is known to vary as a function of such variables ...
Management of impacted cuspids using 3-D volumetric imaging

Mah, J.; Enciso, R.; Jorgensen, Michael J. (PubMed, 2003-11)

Management of impacted cuspids is a complex clinical problem involving proper assessment and interdisciplinary treatment planning. In this paper, we describe the use of 3-D volumetric imaging in the management of impacted ...
A global learning experience in supply chain logistics management

Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram; Barut, Mehmet; Kilic, Kemal (2004)

Global competition created multinational supply chains where raw materials from different countries are manufactured in a country, marketed in another, and consumed by consumers in different countries so that cost ...
A neuro-genetic algorithm for parallel machine scheduling to determine the number of machines and priority scheduling rules

Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram; Barut, Mehmet; Cakar, Tarik (2004)

In this paper, we propose a neuro-genetic artificial neural network framework to achieve certain targeted productivity measures/ performance values in a flow shop with parallel processors (resources) at each stage. The ...
A material handling scheduling system in an agent based environment

Thomas, S.; Krishnan, Krishna K.; Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram (2004)

Agent based manufacturing systems are being developed to model and develop control strategies. Material handling systems when modeled as part of agent based system require new strategies for bidding. This paper describes ...
A toll pricing framework for networks with advanced traveler information systems

Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram; Gupta, Amit (2004)

In this paper, we propose a toll pricing framework for a stochastic multimode tra±c assignment problem. This model assumes that there are two types of users on the network: those who have information about the network ...
Virtual reality: its usefulness for ergonomic analysis

Whitman, Lawrence E.; Jorgensen, Michael; Hathiyari, Kuresh; Malzahn, Don (IEEE, 2004-12)

This paper presents the results of an effort to compare results of an experiment performed in both a virtual and a real environment. The research question addressed is if virtual reality is a suitable tool for performing ...
A first best toll pricing framework for variable demand traffic assignment problems

Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram; Hearn, Donald W. (Elsevier, 2005)

In this paper, we present a toll pricing framework for a general variable demand traffic assignment problem with side constraints, where the demand between an origin destination pair is a function of the least total travel ...
A material handling scheduling system in an agent based environment

Krishnan, Krishna K.; Jithavech, Id; Nayak, Chandan N.; Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram; Thomas, S. (2005)

Adapting changes to satisfy demand is a must for any firm to survive in competitive environment. Changes narrate foremost to manufacturing environment which are dynamic and stochastic. In any job shop environment, material ...
Workload balancing in printed circuit board assembly shops

Duman, Ekrem; Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram (2005)

In assembling printed circuit boards (PCB), the use of numerically or computer controlled electronic component placement machines has become quite popular in the last decades. However, serious operations research problems ...
A neuro-genetic approach to design and planning of a manufacturing cell

Cakar, Tarik; Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram; Barut, Mehmet (Springer Verlag, 2005)

In this paper, we propose a neuro-genetic decision support system coupled with simulation to design a job shop manufacturing system by achieving predetermined values of targeted performance measures such as flow time, ...
Ergonomics: Pros and cons of job rotation as a means of reducing injury costs

Schneider, Scott; Davis, Kermit; Jorgensen, Michael J. (Taylor & Francis, Inc, 2005-02)

As companies in the manufacturing sector struggle with increased injury costs, lower economic prowess, and reductions in the workforce, companies are searching for cost-effective interventions with respect to both ...
Sagittal plane moment arms of the female lumbar region rectus abdominis in an upright neutral torso posture

Jorgensen, Michael J.; Marras, William S.; Smith, Francis W.; Pope, Malcolm H. (Pergamon, 2005-03)

Prior imaging studies of torso muscle moment arms for use as inputs into biomechanical models have been derived from subjects lying supine. Recent research suggests moment arms of the rectus abdominis are larger when ...
