| Abstract
|
:
|
Presenting the proceedings of the Ergonomics Society's annual conference, the series embraces the wide range of topics covered by ergonomics. Individual papers provide insight into current practice, present new research findings, and form an invaluable reference source. The volumes provide a fast track for the publication of suitable papers from international contributors chosen on the basis of abstracts submitted to a selection panel. Topics include applied physiology, musculoskeletal disorders, posture and discomfort, and more.--ERGONOMICSnetBASE description.
