“…(8)(9)(10)12,13) A workplace conversion factor of 2.5 for the closed-face 37-mm cassette has been proposed for the coarse dusts generated during mechanical abrasion. (34) Assuming equal aspiration efficiencies between the modified 37-mm cassette and IOM because of equal inlet diameters and airflows, the S value of 1.92 indicates that nearly half of the dust collected during the scuff sanding procedure deposited on the 37-mm cassette walls and was lost to the analysis. The wall losses were likely the result of high charge levels on the inside surface of the 37-mm cassette.…”

The Impact of a Change to Inhalable Occupational Exposure Limits: Strontium Chromate Exposure in the U.S. Air Force

The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists has announced its intention to replace all total particulate threshold limit values (TLVs) with size-selective TLVs. Because the U.S. Air Force has adopted the TLVs as its occupational exposure limits, the impact of this change is of interest, specifically for hexavalent chromium. This article reviews historical strontium chromate sampling data in the Air Force and the impact of its reinterpretation in comparison to an inhalable TLV. Based on the measured conversion factor between the 37-mm cassette and the IOM inhalable sampler, inhalable strontium chromate exposures will continue to exceed the TLV during all aircraft priming and most sanding procedures. In addition, inhalable exposures are expected to exceed 1000 times the TLV, greater than the highest currently assigned protection factor for airline respirators, during 25% of priming procedures. Without a change in the value of the current TLV time-weighted average of 0.5 microg/m(3), the Air Force will need to reduce strontium chromate levels, either by incorporating work practices that decrease worker productivity or considering a change to nonchromated primers.

“…32 The future development of nanoelectronics relies on multifunctional cost-effective devices that occupy minimum space and adapt to stringent shape and space requirements In that respect, CNTs/polymer composites are among the most cited candidate materials for nanoelectronics, a dominant position that stems mostly from their intrinsic structural and electronic properties. Nanoscale electronics is coming of age but many other disciplines share the interest for the mesocopic regime of matter, e.g., biosensing.…”

“…7 Ottawa Panel found evidence to support the use of therapeutic exercises, especially strengthening exercises and general physical activity, for the improvement of functional characteristics of the OA patients. 8 Home-based exercise intervention may be effective for relieving Knee OA symptoms, increasing muscle strength of the lower limbs, physical functioning, and improving quality of life in community-dwelling Knee OA elderly patients. 9 Clinical guidelines recommend exercise therapy as the primary non-pharmacologic treatment for Knee OA.…”

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of progressive resistance strength training of the lower limb rehabilitation protocol (LLRP) on body mass index (BMI), quality of life, and functional capacity in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) who were overweight and obese. Patients and Methods Fifty-six patients were allocated into either the Rehabilitation Protocol Group (RPG) or the Control Group (CG) by a computer-generated random number. The patients in the RPG performed the strengthening exercises of the LLRP and followed the instruction of daily care (IDC). The patients in the CG only followed the IDC as a usual care. Gait Speed Test, quality of life, and BMI were taken at pre-test and post-test measurements. Paired samples t -test and two way mixed analysis of variance were used to analyze the change of BMI within and compare the difference of BMI between the groups, respectively. Wilcoxon signed ranked test and Mann–Whitney U -test were used to analyze the changes of quality of life and functional capacity within and compare the differences of quality of life and functional capacity between the groups, respectively. Results The patients in the RPG reported a significant reduction in BMI (p = 0.025), improvement in quality of life (p ≤ 0.001), and functional capacity (p ≤ 0.001) within group. The patients in the CG also reported a significant improvements in quality of life (p < 0.05). The improvement in quality of life score was greater in the patients with RPG than the CG (p = 0.053). Conclusion The progressive resistance strength training of LLRP is effective in terms of reducing BMI, improving quality of life and functional capacity.
