Musculoskeletal injuries are the most prevalent work related reason for workers being absent from work in most industries. These injuries are often caused by static postures, sometimes with forceful exertions, or repetitive movements that have to be maintained for many hours a day, such as intensive use of data entry devices, or deskwork, assembly work, parts inspection, equipment maintenance, manual materials handling, machinery operations, and driving vehicles, among other activities. In order to prevent such injuries, occupational health professionals, ergonomists, production engineers and product designers have to know how to evaluate postures and movements, and understand how these are determined by the work environment, as well as what design tools are available to achieve less stressful working conditions.

Working Postures and Movements
This book describes easy-to-use and internationally accepted evaluation tools applicable to postures and movements in the work environment. Renowned authors from around the world have put together the latest scientific knowledge describing the anthropometry, biomechanics, physiology, psychophysics, and human perceptual-motor control basis for posture and movement assessment related to all the major body segments. The book addresses seating concepts, hand tool and pedal designs, digital human models for computer-aided design and engineering, and work organization (task duration, breaks, handling frequency) as they affect human performance and musculoskeletal injury reduction. It is aimed at all practicing professionals and students that are familiar with the basic concepts of ergonomics in general, and for those in particular who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of how to improve working postures and movements.Christine M. Haslegrave is a Senior Lecturer specializing in Occupational Ergonomics at the Institute for Occupational Ergonomics, University of Nottingham.Don B. Chaffin is the G. Lawton and Louise G. Johnson Professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering at Human Motion Simulation at the Center for Ergonomics University of Michigan, College of Engineering.

NMR in Glycoscience and Glycotechnology
₹8,421.00NMR techniques although well established for structural analyses of proteins and nucleic acids, cannot be simply applied to this complex class of biomolecules. Nonetheless, recently developed NMR techniques for carbohydrates open the door to conformational studies of a variety of sugar chains of biological interest. NMR studies on glycans will have significant impact on the development of vaccines, adjuvants, therapeutics, biomarkers and on biomass regeneration.

Essentials Statistics : Exploring the World through Data 2nd Ed
₹3,198.00We live in a data-driven world, and the goal of this text is to teach students how to access and analyse these data critically. Authors Rob Gould, Colleen Ryan, and Rebecca Wong want students to develop a ‘data habit of mind’ because learning statistics is an essential life skill that extends beyond the classroom. Regardless of their math backgrounds, students will learn how to think about data and how to reason using data. With a clear, unintimidating writing style and carefully chosen pedagogy, this text makes data analysis accessible to all students.
