Preventing slips and falls through leisure-time physical activity: findings from a study of limited-service restaurants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Physical activity has been shown to be beneficial at improving health in some medical conditions and in preventing injury. Epidemiologic studies suggest that physical activity is one factor associated with a decreased risk for slips and falls in the ...

Plastic Mulch and In-row Spacing Effects on Sweetpotato Yield in Northwest Washington
HortTechnology, 2022 Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) production in the northern United States is limited due to the perceived barriers of a short growing season and relatively cool summer temperatures, yet recent studies have shown yield in northern regions can be greater than

Aircraft Assembly Snags: Human Errors or Lack of Production Design?
Aerospace, 2021 To err is an intrinsic human trait, which means that human errors, at some point, are inevitable. Business improvement tools and practices neglect to deal with the root causes of human error; hence, they ignore certain design considerations that could ...

Provoking Artificial Slips and Trips towards Perturbation-Based Balance Training: A Narrative Review
Sensors, 2022 Humans’ balance recovery responses to gait perturbations are negatively impacted with ageing. Slip and trip events, the main causes preceding falls during walking, are likely to produce severe injuries in older adults.
