CysModDB: a comprehensive platform with the integration of manually curated resources and analysis tools for cysteine posttranslational modifications.

The unique chemical reactivity of cysteine residues results in various posttranslational modifications (PTMs), which are implicated in regulating a range of fundamental biological processes. With the advent of chemical proteomics technology, thousands of cysteine PTM (CysPTM) sites have been identified from multiple species. A few CysPTM-based databases have been developed, but they mainly focus on data collection rather than various annotations and analytical integration.

Heat-related deaths among construction workers in the United States.

Background: Heat is a severe hazard for construction workers and may be worsening with global warming. This study sought to explore heat-related deaths among U.S.

The construction FACE database - Codifying the NIOSH FACE reports.

Introduction: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has published reports detailing the results of investigations on selected work-related fatalities through the Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) program since 1982.

Method: Information from construction-related FACE reports was coded into the Construction FACE Database (CFD). Use of the CFD was illustrated by analyzing major CFD variables.

Baby boomers in the United States: Factors associated with working longer and delaying retirement.

Objectives: This study estimated the self-reported probability of working full-time past age 62 (P62) or age 65 (P65) among four cohorts of Americans born between 1931 and 1959.

Methods: Data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) were analyzed. Respondents in four age cohorts were selected for comparison.

Fatal falls and PFAS use in the construction industry: Findings from the NIOSH FACE reports.

This study analyzed the Construction FACE Database (CFD), a quantitative database developed from reports of the Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) program conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The CFD contains detailed data on 768 fatalities in the construction industry reported by NIOSH and individual states from 1982 through June 30, 2015. The results show that falls accounted for 42% (325) of the 768 fatalities included in the CFD.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders among construction workers in the United States from 1992 to 2014.

Objectives: Examine trends and patterns of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among construction workers in the USA, with an emphasis on older workers.

Methods: WMSDs were identified from the 1992-2014 Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII), and employment was estimated from the Current Population Survey (CPS). Risk of WMSDs was measured by number of WMSDs per 10 000 full-time equivalent workers and stratified by major demographic and employment subgroups.

Respiratory Cancer and Non-Malignant Respiratory Disease-Related Mortality among Older Construction Workers-Findings from the Health and Retirement Study.

Objective: This study explored the risk of respiratory cancer and non-malignant respiratory disease (NMRD)-related mortality among older construction workers.

Methods: Analyzed data from the 1992-2010 RAND Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and the HRS National Death Index - Cause of Death file. About 25,183 workers aged 50 years and older were examined, including 5,447 decedents and 19,736 survivors, of which 1,460 reported their longest job was in construction.

Economic consequences of workplace injuries in the United States: Findings from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79).

Background: This study explored economic consequences of work-related injuries using a longitudinal data source.

Methods: Data were from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979 cohort (n = 12,686). Short-term consequences were measured when the injury was reported.

Occupational and non-occupational factors associated with work-related injuries among construction workers in the USA.

Background: Many factors contribute to occupational injuries. However, these factors have been compartmentalized and isolated in most studies.

Objective: To examine the relationship between work-related injuries and multiple occupational and non-occupational factors among construction workers in the USA.

Long-term health outcomes of work-related injuries among construction workers--findings from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth.

Background: This study examined the relationship between work-related injuries and health outcomes among a cohort of blue-collar construction workers.

Materials And Methods: Data were from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979 cohort (NLSY79; n = 12,686). A range of health outcomes among blue-collar construction workers (n = 1,435) were measured when they turned age 40 (1998-2006) and stratified by these workers' prior work-related injury status between 1988 and 2000.

Fatal falls in the U.S. residential construction industry.

Background: Falls from heights remain the most common cause of workplace fatalities among residential construction workers in the United States.

Methods: This paper examines patterns and trends of fall fatalities in U.S.

Fatal falls from roofs among U.S. construction workers.

Introduction: This study examined trends and patterns of fatal falls from roofs in the U.S. construction industry over an 18-year period (1992-2009), with detailed analysis for 2003-2009.

Fatal falls among older construction workers.

Objective: This study examines recent trends and patterns in fall fatalities in the U.S. construction industry to determine whether fatal falls among older workers are different from younger workers in this industry.

Chronic back pain among older construction workers in the United States: a longitudinal study.

This study assessed chronic back pain among older construction workers in the United States by analyzing data from the 1992-2008 Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a large-scale longitudinal survey. Fixed-effects methods were applied in the multiple logistic regression model to explore the association between back pain and time-varying factors (e.g.

Chronic diseases and functional limitations among older construction workers in the United States: a 10-year follow-up study.

Objectives: To examine the health status of older construction workers in the United States, and how occupation and the aging process affect health in workers' later years.

Methods: We analyzed six waves (1998 to 2008) of the Health and Retirement Study, a longitudinal survey of US residents age 50+. The study sample totaled 7200 male workers (510 in construction trades) in the baseline.

Injury underreporting among small establishments in the construction industry.

Background: There is convincing evidence that occupational injury and illness rates, particularly those reported by employers in the BLS' Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII), substantially underestimate the true magnitude of injury and illness in the construction industry.

Methods: Fifteen years of data from five large nationally representative data sources were analyzed, including SOII, CFOI, CBP, CPS, and MEPS. Regression trends and ratio analyses were conducted, and stratified by establishment size and Hispanic ethnicity.

Sliding-mode repetitive learning control with integral sliding-mode perturbation compensation.

This paper proposes a sliding-mode repetitive learning control (SMRLC) scheme with an integral sliding-mode perturbation observer (ISMPO) for repetitive tracking control tasks. The three control strategies which are synthesized to yield excellent tracking performance are: (1) the pole-placement feedback control to specify the desired error dynamics; (2) ISMPO-based feedback compensation as the robust part; and (3) a feedforward learning component that refines the control to improve system performance through repetitive trials. The ISMPO-based feedback compensation ensures that there is only small tracking error during initial learning trials and enhances system insensitivity to exceptional and aperiodic disturbances.
