Quantitative Analysis of Involuntary Movements as a Test of Comfort of a Car Seat: A Study of Man-Machine Interface
Using qualitative analysis of involuntaty movements, comfort/discomfort of a car seat, adjusted in done seat positions-based primarily on the backrest angle has been evaluated. The medial position (backrest angle-115 degree) has been found to be the most comfortable position followed by the backward inclined position (backrest angle 124-125 degree) and the forward inclined position (backrest angle 108-109 degree) respectively.Individuals of diffe…
Age Changes and Altitudinal Differences in Blood Pressure in Bod Girls of North-West Himalayas
Based on 154 high altitude and 163 low altitude Bud girls, it has been observed that blood pressure is lower in highlander Bad girls than their coeval lowland girls in the age range of 11 to 18 yrs. In body weight girls below 14 yrs. don’t differ significantly, but after 14 yrs, low altitude girls are significantly heavier. Low altitude girls are generally taller, but the differences are statistically non-significant
