A Review of Ergonomics and Simulation Modeling in Healthcare Delivery System Ali Anjomshoae1, a, Adnan Hassan2, b, Mat Rebi Abdul Rani3,c 1,2,3Department of Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), 81310 UTM Skudai, Johor, Malaysia aaali5@live.utm.my, badnan@fkm.utm.my, cmatrebi@fkm.utm.my Keywords: Human Factor and Ergonomics; Simulation modeling; Clinical performance.
The US Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Engineering regarded HFE as a key systems engineering tool to design and improve healthcare systems, and produce improvements in quality of care and patient safety.
The IOM has proposed the application of engineering concepts and methods, in particular system engineering to improve the design of these systems.
However to address the root cause of problem more effectively, this review, highlights that simulation modeling can be regarded as a powerful engineering tool to investigate the problem by identifying sources of bottleneck and inefficiency within health care delivery systems.

The Development of Interphase Precipitated Nanometre-Sized Carbides in the Advanced Low-Alloy Steels J.
Huang2 1 Department of Materials Science and Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan 2 Iron and Steel R&D Department, China Steel Corporation, Kaohsiung, Taiwan ajryang@ntu.edu.tw Keywords:Interphase precipitation; Nanometer-sized carbides; Transmission electron microscopy; Orientation relationship; Strengthening Mechanism.
It is clear that the most important factor in the development of this type of advanced HSLA steels is to obtain the optimum volume fraction of the nanometer-sized carbides and, in this regard, the thermal stability of the precipitates is vital.

Introduction Smart composite materials with different embedded sensors have been lately subject of a particular attention in fields beyond the so-called traditional engineering.
Recent advances in the use of printed circuit board techniques make it possible to embed piezoceramics with minimal impact on the original system [4-5] In this study thicker piezoelectric ceramics (0.3 mm) were used for their actuation properties.

Microstructural Parameters in the Theory of Critical Distances David Taylor Mechanical Engineering Department, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland dtaylor@tcd.ie Keywords: Critical distance; microstructure; fracture; grain size; damage zone Abstract.
Given that this conference is devoted to the relationships between material microstructure and fracture mechanisms, it is a useful forum at which to discuss the relationship between L and microstructural parameters.
A special issue of the journal Engineering Fracture Mechanics, containing 15 articles on this topic, is in preparation and will be published later in 2007.
