Physiological capacities of individuals with cerebral palsy

Fernandez, Jeffrey E.; Pitetti, Kenneth H.; Betzen, M. T. (Sage Publications, 1990-08)

The physical work capacity (PWC) and the physiological response to stimulated tasks of nine ambulatory individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) were studied. Energy demand for each work task was determined by percentage of PWC ...
Psychophysical lifting capacity over extended periods

Fernandez, Jeffrey E.; Ayoub, M. M.; Smith, James L. (Taylor & Francis, 1991-01)

The effect of time on an individual's lifting capacity over extended periods using a psychophysical approach was studied. Twelve male subjects estimated their lifting capacity in a 25 min period, and then attempted to lift ...
Anthropometry of south Indian industrial workmen

Fernandez, Jeffrey E.; Uppugonduri, Krishna G. (Taylor & Francis, 1992-11)

This paper presents the results of an anthropometric survey conducted on South Indian male workers in the electronic industry. The data were collected as part of a project to modify work stations that utilized equipment ...
Training of ambulatory individuals with cerebral palsy

Fernandez, Jeffrey E.; Pitetti, Kenneth H. (W.B. Saunders, 1993-05)

The effect of training on the physical work capacity (PWC) and the physiological response to simulated tasks of seven ambulatory individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) were studied. Energy demand for each work task was ...
Maximum acceptable frequencies for females performing a drilling task in different wrist postures

Davis, Paul J.; Fernandez, Jeffrey E. (Human Ergology Society, 1994-12)

This paper presents a study on the effect of wrist posture; flexion, extension, ulnar deviation, and radial deviation on maximum acceptable frequencies (MAF) for a drilling task using a psychophysical approach. Twelve ...
Psychophysically acceptable weights for a combination lifting task using bags with handles

Fredericks, T. K.; Fernandez, Jeffrey E.; Rodrigues, C. C. (Human Ergology Society, 1994-12)

This paper presents a study on a combination lift and lower manual handling task and was designed to simulate the loading of grocery bags into a car trunk. Twelve male subjects performed an externally paced task of lifting ...
Scheduling traffic lights in a capacitated junction

Ksen, Deniz A.; Aksu, Murat; Altinel, I. Kuban; Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram (Turkish Chamber of Mechanical Engineers, 1994-12)
Design-oriented functional capacity evaluation: the available motions inventory--a review

Malzahn, Don E.; Fernandez, Jeffrey E.; Kattel, B. P. (Informa Healthcare, 1996-08)

The accommodation of a task to the unique abilities of an individual with a disability is becoming increasingly the responsibility of the employer. Functional capacity evaluation (FCE) provides the information necessary ...
Structured models and dynamic systems analysis: the integration of the IDEF0/IDEF3 modeling methods and discrete event simulation

Whitman, Lawrence; Huff, Brian (IEEE, 1997-12)
A new lower bounding scheme for the total weighted tardiness problem

Akturk, M. Selim; Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram (Elsevier, 1998)

We propose a new dominance rule that provides a sufficient condition for local optimality for the 1∥∑wiTi problem. We prove that if any sequence violates the proposed dominance rule, then switching the violating jobs ...
The needs and issues associated with representing and integrating multiple views of the enterprise

Whitman, Larry; Huff, Brian; Presley, Adrien (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1998-01)
Torso loading via a harness method activates trunk muscles less than a hand loading method

McMulkin, Mark L.; Woldstad, Jeffrey C.; Hughes, Richard E. (Pergamon, 1998-04)

There is a need for data comparing muscle activity under equivalent moments at the torso using different loading methods. In torso biomechanics, it is often necessary to apply moments to people and then measure or predict ...
A new dominance rule for the total weighted tardiness problem

Akturk, M. Selim; Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram (Taylor & Francis, 1999)

We present a new dominance rule for the single machine total weighted tardiness problem with job dependent penalties. The proposed dominance rule provides a su cient condition for local optimality. We show that if any ...
Commercial simulation over the Web

Whitman, Lawrence; Huff, Brian; Palaniswamy, S. (IEEE, 1999-01)

Modeling and simulation provide objective analysis tools for many fields including manufacturing. This paper presents the requirements and describes the usefulness of a Web-based interface to discrete-event simulation. A ...
Supply chain agent decision aid system (SCADAS)

Gupta, Amit; Agarwal, R. K.; Whitman, Lawrence (IEEE, 2001)

Supply chain decisions are improved with access to global information. However, supply chain partners are frequently hesitant to provide full access to all the information within an enterprise. A mechanism to make decisions ...
A taxonomy of a living model of the enterprise

Whitman, Lawrence; Ramachandran, K.; Ketkar, V. (IEEE, 2001-02)

A designer has a choice of many models, methods, frameworks, and architectures. There is little consistency between these terms among researchers. Some of the most widely used architectures and frameworks are described ...
On the use of enterprise models

Whitman, Lawrence; Huff, Brian (Springer, 2001-04)

This paper presents the results of a field study designed to determine how enterprise models are used. The paper begins with an introduction to enterprise models then provides an overview of the survey method used. No known ...
Computational methods for congestion toll pricing models

Hearn, Donald W.; Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram; Ramana, M. V.; Bai, L. H. (IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2001-08)

In earlier work a toll pricing framework for congestion pricing has been developed for both fixed and elastic demand traffic assignment models as an alternative to traditional marginal social cost pricing. Within the ...
