  2. 21. Virtual and Physical Methods for Efficient Ergonomics Risk Assessments - A Development Process for Application in Car Manufacturing

    Author : Ann-Christine Falck; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; car manufacturing; holistic; efficient; virtual; ergonomics; methods; physical; risk assessment;

    Abstract : Work-related disorders and sick leave are well-known common problems in the manufacturing industry. Workrelateddisorders cost both society and the manufacturing industry huge amounts of money every year as aconsequence of poor working environment and assembly-unfriendly products. READ MORE

  4. 22. A holistic approach to usability evaluations of mixed reality systems

    Author : Susanna Nilsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Datorsimulering Databehandling;

    Abstract : The main focus of this thesis is the study of user centered issues in Mixed and Augmented Reality (AR) systems. Mixed Reality (MR) research is in general a highly technically oriented field with few examples of user centered studies. READ MORE

  5. 23. Advances in Thermal Insulation : Vacuum Insulation Panels and Thermal Efficiency to Reduce Energy Usage in Buildings

    Abstract : Luftburna partiklar (PM) är ett problem för människans hälsa, där flertalet samband mellan negativa hälsoeffekter finns mellan luftföroreningar finns, bland annat för respiratoriska sjukdomar, lungcancer och kardiovaskulära sjukdomar med flera. I länder där dubbdäck används, till exempel Sverige, Finland och Norge, och sandning av vägar och gator genomförs vintertid för att säkerställa god friktion kommer en betydande andel av partiklarna från vägslitage och nedkrossning av sand vilket bidrar till PM10.
