This five-part series of reports tabulates the statistical relationships among anthropometric measurements so that designers of Army materiel systems will be able to utilize the data in improving the man-materiel interface. The kinds of statistical relationships tabulated include simple correlations, partial correlations, bivariate regressions and multiple regressions. The simple correlations, partial correlations, and bivariate regressions are among all pairs of characters. Four sets of partial correlations are included, partialling out: stature only; weight only; stature and weight simultaneously; and stature, weight, and age simultaneously. Standard multiple regressions include specific anthropometric dimensions regressed on standard pairs of measurements. Stepwise multiple regressions were also calculated for each anthropometric dimension using the first five independent variables selected in the stepwise procedure. All analyses were performed separately for males and females and are reported separately in the tables.

"Virtually every Army materiel system in use was designed and/or sized using a database of anthropometric information that is 20 years old. It was based on the Army Anthropometric Survey (ANSUR), which was conducted in 1988 on only Active Duty Soldiers. However, more than one-half of today's fighting forces are National Guard and Reserve component troops. A pilot study (ANSUR II) was recently undertaken to (1) assess anthropometric change since 1988 within the Active Army; (2) to assess anthropometric differences among Army Active, Reserve, and National Guard components; and (3) to provide guidance on whether a further, more comprehensive survey and an update of the current ANSUR database are needed. This report provides measurement methods and summary statistics for 25 body measurements made on 2811 male and 651 female soldiers in the pilot study. The anthropometric change since 1988 and tests of component differences are presented in a separate technical report. The subjects were weighted by component, sex, age, and racial/ethnic group to match Total Army demographics as of March 2007 in order to provide interim design guidance on Total Army body size distributions as of March 2007." --- (report documentation page).

The incorporation of technology into aviation has been exponential. Advancements in microelectronics, stealth technology, engine design, and electronic sensors and displays have converted simple aircraft into formidable flying machines. In this book, recognised experts in aviation helmet-mounted displays (HMDs) summarise 25 years of knowledge and experience in the area of HMD visual, acoustic, and biodynamic performance, and user interface issues such as sizing, fitting, and emergency egress.

In the fifteen years since the publication of Occupational Ergonomics: Theory and Applications significant advances have been made in this field. These advances include understanding the impact of ageing and obesity on workplace, the role of ergonomics in promoting healthy workplaces and healthy life styles, the role of ergonomic science in the design of consumer products, and much more. The caliber of information and the simple, practical ergonomics solutions in the second edition of this groundbreaking resource, though, haven’t changed. See What’s New in the Second Edition: Enhanced coverage of ergonomics in the international arena Emerging topics such as Healthcare Ergonomics and economics of ergonomics Coverage of disability management and psychosocial rehabilitation aspects of workplace and its ergonomics implication Current ergonomics solutions from "research to practice" Synergy of healthy workplaces with healthy lifestyles Impact of physical agents on worker health/safety and its control Additional problems with solutions in the appendix The book covers the fundamentals of ergonomics and the practical application of those fundamentals in solving ergonomic problems. The scope is such that it can be used as a reference for graduate students in the health sciences, engineering, technology and business as well as professional practitioners of these disciplines. Also, it can be used as a senior level undergraduate textbook, with solved problems, case studies, and exercises included in several chapters. The book blends medical and engineering applications to solve musculoskeletal, safety, and health problems in a variety of traditional and emerging industries ranging from the office to the operating room to operations engineering.
