3D Hand Scanning Methodology for Determining Protective Glove Dimensional Allowances.

There are two types of dimensional allowance (inner and external) related to two distinct areas of occupational health and safety: those being a measure of fit of personal protective equipment (PPE) and those determining the safe and comfortable human interaction with tools and machines, e.g., the latter ones result from wearing PPE increasing the dimensions of the human body and generating limitations in the work environment.

Alternative Methods of the Largest Lyapunov Exponent Estimation with Applications to the Stability Analyses Based on the Dynamical Maps-Introduction to the Method.

Controlling stability of dynamical systems is one of the most important challenges in science and engineering. Hence, there appears to be continuous need to study and develop numerical algorithms of control methods. One of the most frequently applied invariants characterizing systems' stability are Lyapunov exponents (LE).
