Occupational Exposure Modelling With EASE

SAR and QSAR in Environmental Research, 1997
This article presents a validation exercise performed from eight practical case studies on EASE (version 2.0), a knowledge-based system allowing to estimate the workplace exposure to chemicals. Our results show that EASE represents a valuable simulation tool in occupational hygiene.

Continuous-space occupancy models

Biometrics
ABSTRACT Occupancy models are used to infer species distributions over large spatial extents while accounting for imperfect detection. Current approaches, however, are unable to model species occurrence over continuous spatial domains while accounting for the discrete spatial domain of the observed data. We develop a new class of spatial

On Modelling And Simulation of Occupant Models

Building Simulation Conference Proceedings, 2015
The selection of modelling and simulation methodologies plays an unprecedented role over the predictive accuracy of occupant behaviour and presence models. In this study, different modelling and simulation formalisms emerging from the literature were introduced to represent occupant's presence and lighting use in BPS tools.

Modeling Dynamic Occupant Loads

Journal of Structural Engineering, 1989
Spectators and participants performing various maneuvers produce transient and harmonic dynamic occupant loads. Individuals and groups perform prescribed impulsive and continuous actions on a large force platform. Periodic loads are modeled with Fourier Series and exponentially decaying functions are used to describe impulsive loads.

A simple occupant dynamics model

Journal of Biomechanics, 1968
Abstract A simple, accurate, two mass, two-degree-of-freedom mathematical model has been developed to simulate lap belted vehicle occupants subjected to frontal collision loadings. This model was designed as a substitute for more complex models when only seat belt loads and head impact velocities are being studied.

Quantifying occupational risk: The development of an occupational risk model

Safety Science, 2008
Abstract Each year eighty-five people are killed on the job in the Netherlands and 167,000 are injured to the extent that they are at least a day absent from work. Their death and injuries occur during the approximately seven million person years that the Dutch workforce spend on their job.

Site occupancy models

2011
The probability of a species to be present on a certain site is a quantity of interest for monitoring programs. Data for the occupancy of a species is recorded along with habitat covariates that are suspected to relate with its status (presence/absence).

Modelling UK occupational employment

International Journal of Manpower, 2003
This paper uses annual data from successive UK Labour Force Surveys to model occupational trends over the period 1981 to 1999. Time series models are developed for some nine occupational groups across 17 industrial sectors. Various economic variables, such as output, wages, unemployment, export and import shares are combined with different technology ...

Modeling Occupants in Far-Side Impacts

Traffic Injury Prevention, 2011
Far-side impacts are not part of any regulated NCAP, FMVSS, or similar test regime despite accounting for 43 percent of the seriously injured persons and 30 percent of the harm in U.S. side impact crashes. Furthermore, injuries to the head and thorax account for over half of the serious injuries sustained by occupants in far-side crashes. Despite this,
