With the progress of time, technology has been introduced and improved in the world of work, in order to help workers to perform their tasks. Stress factors and musculoskeletal lesions are the main diseases that relate to the work (Carneiro, 2005). 

In Phase II, the goal of our interviews was to develop hypotheses about the factors important in shaping technological responses to regulation and about the characteristics of the actual responses. To facilitate this task, the sample of firms for the pilot interviews was deliberately enriched with firms that were known to have made relatively innovative technical... 

The costs of erection and commissioning of even a very complex micro structured reactor plant are, of course, comparably small. This means that the basic design of a micro structured reactor plant is extremely expensive and attention should be given to minimizing costs, for example, by the application of calculation sheets, the standardization of complete process units or the use of process simulation or planning tools such as AspenPlus . The reduction of this cost factor remains a future task of micro technology. 

A consideration under Task 5 of a list of topical problems and bottlenecks for every object became a logic continuation of Tasks 3 and 4 of the SMP Report. Both the bottlenecks and the problem issues were identified on basis of integrated analysis of a variety of factors with emphasis on safety factors and the general logic of process technologies. 

He was elected to the National Academy of Public Administration in 1985, and he was a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Smithsonian Institution, and a research fellow at the Wissenschaftszentrum (Sciences Center) Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for Social Research, Cologne. He has been a member of the Board on Radioactive Waste Management and panels of the Committee on Human Factors and the Transportation Research Board of the National Academy of Sciences. He served on the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board, Department of Energy, and chaired its Task Eorce on Radioactive Waste Management, examining questions of institutional trustworthiness. He was a member of the National Research Council s panel on Human Eactors in Air Traffic Control Automation and the Technical Review Committee for the Nuclear Materials Technology Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Process ejficacy/throughput. This factor is used to assess whether a particular technology is fully effective in achieving its task and how efficient it is in destroying munitions or agent in terms of processing rate and/or the maximum size of munition that can be handled. 

A sixth factor, process costs, was considered, but in a more qualitative sense. Cost information was not generally available for many of the international technologies examined, and in any case, a complete and quantitative evaluation of cost was beyond the scope of the committee s task.
