Among the various methods for drug design, the approach using molecular descriptors for quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) bears promise for the prediction of innovative molecular structures with bespoke pharmacological activity. Despite the growing number of successful potential applications, the QSAR models often remain hard to interpret. The difficulty arises from the use of advanced chemometric or machine learning methods on the one hand, and the complexity of molecular descriptors on the other hand.

Tests were conducted with impactor materials of steel, wood, and lead shot (resembling commonly seen materials in a construction site), weighing 1.8 and 3.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of wearing hard hats on the lower cervical and upper thoracic region using surface electromyography (sEMG) and possible link to work-related musculoskeletal disorder (WRMSD).
Methods: Twenty study subjects wore sEMG sensors placed on the upper trapezius muscle on their dominant side to assess muscle activity while wearing different hard hats. Study subjects were asked to don six different hard hats and assume varied neck postures.
