...OFFICE ERGONOMICS The purpose of the visits to the worksite was to determine the physical demands of the pre-injury job duties and provide an opinion on whether the job demands exceed the precautions for the worker’s bilateral wrist injury. ABC Company recently purchased new workstations for two employees one of the employee’s voiced some new concerns. The employee has been experiencing ongoing right elbow and right wrist pain. The employee indicated that they were receiving physiotherapy treatments for their discomfort. The employee reported experiencing mid back discomfort since their return to work from a short absence due to illness and began using the new workstation. The purpose of this evaluation was to review the workstation, determine any areas of concern and provide recommendations. The new workstation is adjustable in 1/2” increments. The employee performs most of their tasks on the computer working on computer software with clicking and manipulating the mouse. The employee reviews plot sheets and writes notes on the sheets and makes necessary changes on the computer. Setting the proper desk height and keyboard height are key elements to avoiding non-neutral postures of the back, shoulders, neck, arms and wrists. The desk was set at the employees optimal work height. End-user orientation was completed to demonstrate the use of the articulating keyboard tray. It was determined that the tray height was positioned too high which promoted increased elevation...

An innovative jacket called Flames. SECTION 1: THE BUSINESS PROFILE Form of ownership The form of ownership that Flames will be a partnership. The reason for this is because there are initially, four of us in this business and we are all investing the same amount of time in the business. A partnership of this type is easy and quick to set up. We are also investing the same amount of money and time in the business. I also want to be part of a partnership because partnerships generally have lower taxation rates, because they don't get taxed on profits. Also as a partnership we are able to raise more and faster finance. Flames will also lend itself for partnership as we have all the skills between the proposed partners that we need. There are also many disadvantages of being a partnership as Business Partners are jointly and individually liable for the actions of the other partners. We aim to get over this...

...SYNTHESIS AND RELEVANCE OF THE REVIEW A general synthetic route to two DOTA-linked N-Fmoc amino acids (DOTA-F and DOTA-K) is described that allows insertion of DOTA at any endo-position within a peptide sequence. Three model pentapeptides were prepared to test the general utility of these derivatives in solid-phase peptide synthesis. Both DOTA derivatives reacted smoothly by means of standard HBTU activation chemistry to the point of insertion of the DOTA amino acid, but extension of the peptide chain beyond the DOTA-amino acid insertion required the use of pre-activated C-pentafluorophenyl ester N-alpha-Fmoc amino acids. Three Gal-80 binding peptides (12-mers) were then prepared by using this methodology with DOTA positioned either at the N terminus or at one of two different internal positions;the binding of the resulting GdDOTA-12-mers to Gal-80 were compared. The methodology described here allows versatile, controlled introduction of DOTA into any location within a peptide sequence. This provides a potential method for the screening of libraries of DOTA-linked peptides for optimal targeting properties This report describes the synthesis and structural characterization of the indium complex of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid mono(p-aminoanilide) (DOTA-AA), a model compound for 111In-labeled DOTA-biomolecule conjugates. In(DOTA-AA) was prepared by reacting DOTA-AA with 1 equiv of InCl3 in 0.5 M ammonium acetate buffer (pH ∼ 6). It was characterized...

...help reduce drug trafficking in the United States. The examiner has also determined that harsher sentencing is important factor in controlling to get the most serious drugs off the streets, for example, LSD, Heroin, and Cocaine. The researcher will conduct their analysis on harsher sentences for drug possessors, those who obtain dangerous drugs, and law enforcement agents who are charged with drug trafficking. Should those who possessed drugs or those who obtain illegal drugs and those who are involved bringing it across ours borders spend more time in prison then those who commit rape or rob a bank? America needs to impose tougher sentencing on those who chose to break the law and this will help reduce drug trafficking in America. Research done will show why they need to impose harsher sentencing for those chose to break the law and here what the author has found. In examining drug trafficking, the researcher found that those who possess it get harsher sentences then those who commit rape. According to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) it depends on how much cocaine or marijuana or other substances they have on...

...CERTIFIED SAFETY AND HEALTH EXAMINATION SAMPLE QUESTIONS The Certified Safety and Health Examination Practice Items are intended to familiarize prospective examinees with the style and format of the CSHM examination questions. There are 36 objective practice items contained in this Guide, whereas the actual CSHM examination contains 150 objective items. The 150 test items will have the following weighted breakdown. Management and Leadership Principles and Methods (21% of test/32 questions) Risk Identification, Management and Control (35% of test/52 questions) EHS Operations, Programs and Applications (28% of test/42 questions) Incident Investigation and Performance Evaluation (16% of test/24 questions) Exams administered outside the United States will be in US English. Exam questions for candidates in this category will contain fewer questions that pertain only to the United States (i.e. OSHA, NIOSH, etc.) None of these practice items will be found on the actual CSHM certification examination. These practice items are only meant to be representative of the type of items found on the certification examination. Following the practice items is a quick scoring key and the rationales for the answers. Remember to select the BEST answer. Good luck! I. GENERAL AND BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 1.

...video-game consoles, and mobile entertainment devices. (Lee, Jin, Park, & Kang, 2005) As we know, Internet offers many conveniences. As a result it has made many people depend on it. What is worse, a large number of people have become addicted, especially to online game addiction. By2007, the population of online gamers worldwide was about 217 million, approximately 28 percent of the total online population (comScore,2007).In addition, online game addiction is prevalent in many countries, including China, Korea, Vietnam, Japan, U.S., and Canada. In South Korea, 2.4 percent of the population, ages nine to thirty-nine, were believed to be addicted to online games, and over 10 percent could be classified as obsessive gamers. (Faiola, 2006). Research says effects can be good: reduces stress, improves learning ability, and develops team work. Others oppose by saying negative consequences outweighs the good: violence, aggression, time management problems, and low academic performances. The growing population of computer games and its various effects do not exempt the...
