For example, occupants must well informed about possible MEWP hazards, unsafe ground conditions or electrical hazards, and how to properly lower the machine in case something happens to the operator. Operator training can be broken down into three segments: theory, practice and evaluati...
First, MNEs often use international assignments to develop global talents (Crane & Hartwell, 2019), and they view social integration as a beneficial outcome of employing global talent. Our research, however, highlights two dimensions of social integration (i.e., deep- vs. surface-level). We ...
a cable-electrified crane with energy storage system (ESS) and active front end (AFE), resulted in a 30–47% reduction in energy consumption [61]. Correspondingly, with hydraulic pumps and a battery, energy consumption can be 49% lower [115]. Furthermore, Alasali et al. [62] specified...
For example, they found that responders logged a greater number of behavioral activation activities, reported greater levels of mastery and pleasure, and tended to select activities with longer durations. This information is highly valuable because it allows for inferences about “macro-engagement” (...
The rapid expansion of dengue, Zika and chikungunya with large scale outbreaks are an increasing public health concern in many countries. Additionally, the recent coronavirus pandemic urged the need to get connected for fast information transfer and exch
Crane and Hoist Operator TrainingCrane operators, as well as personnel in proximity to the crane and hoists, must adhere to specific protocols and rules to ensure their own and others' safety during operation. This course gives a general overview of crane and hoist operator training in the manuf...
[39], [40] crane (40 t payload, not mobile); knuckle boom (59 kW) and boom actuators 3.1. Control concept The direct dedication of one EM to each actuator allows to control the actuator movement simply by controlling the torque or speed of the EM. For a better understanding of the co...
Physical activity (PA) improves physical and mental health and reduces disease risks and overall premature mortality [1,2]. According to recent findings, insufficient PA is one of the leading risk factors globally for adult mortality [3] and diseases such as diabetes, colon cancer or breast canc...
The simulation model built with the use of the integrated CAD/CAE system makes it possible to assess the stability of the crane system on the example of the HIAB XS 111 crane with the proposed interaction and control system [2,3]. Figure 2. Block diagram of computer-aided assessment of ...
Walking encompasses a complex interplay of neuromuscular coordination and cognitive processes. Disruptions in gait can impact personal independence and quality of life, especially among the elderly and neurodegenerative patients. While traditional biomec
