Workers do not always showcase adequate knowledge on potential long-term health effects and other properties of particulate matter (PM), which may lead to a decreased tendency to work safely in a high-PM environment. To empower workers to work more safely in environments with high PM exposure, we developed …

Growing volumes of wood are being used in construction, interior architecture, and product design, resulting in increasing amounts of wood waste. Using this waste is challenging, because it is too labor-intensive to process large volumes of uneven wood pieces that vary in geometry, quality, and origin. …

Study objective: The three-dimensional shape of the ultrasound beam produces a thicker scan plane than most users assume. Viewed longitudinally, a needle placed lateral to a vessel just outside the central scanning plane can be displayed incorrectly in the ultrasound image as if placed intravascularly. …
