Prevalence and Risk Factors of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders Among Dockworkers: The Role of Psychosocial Stress and Physical Demands in an Iranian Port. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aim With the development of trade between countries, the transportation of goods has increased, and ports struggle to accommodate the demands of unloading and loading operations. Seaport workers may experience work‐related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), which in many cases result in disabilities.

A pragmatic controller for a gantry crane
Abstract A gantry crane presents a control problem with ten state variables. The undamped swinging of the load has led earlier researchers to apply cumbersome control strategies. The essence of pragmatic control is gleaned from autopilot designs of half a century ago.
