Vancouver sleep-analysis company’s biggest customers range from miners, pilots and truck drivers to the Canucks and other professional sports teams By Nelson Bennett Tue Jul 16, 2013 12:01am PST What do a near-miss at Vancouver International Airport in 2011 and a meltdown at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant have in common? The answer: sleep deprivation. A recently released Transportation Safety Board report confirms a near miss at Vancouver International Airport in 2011 was due to air traffic controller fatigue, which was also partly to blame for the worst nuclear accident in U.S. history. According to Fatigue Science, a Vancouver company that specializes in sleep analysis for heavy industry and professional sports franchises, including the Vancouver Canucks, lack of sleep can impair judgment as much as drugs or alcohol. “After you’ve been awake for 19 consecutive hours, your decision-making abilities are impaired,” said Fatigue Science CEO Sean Kerklaan. “It’s equivalent to that of someone with a blood alcohol level of 0.08. “If you’re a miner, a pilot, if you’re a truck driver, if you fall asleep behind the wheel, your life – and others – is in danger. Fatigue Science’s clients include trucking companies, 16 of the world’s largest airlines and five of the world’s largest mining companies – even the pilots who fly Air Force One. “Before that plane takes off, these pilots have to run their schedule through our software,” Kerklaan said. The core of Fatigue Science’s technology is an algorithm developed for the U.S. military to help identify if there is a correlation between sleep deprivation and friendly fire. Sleep patterns over a period of days or weeks are analyzed to calculate sleep debt trends. Pat Byrne, a former WorksafeBC employee, founded Fatigue Science and acquired the rights to the algorithm after his nephew was killed in a car accident while sleep deprived. The company developed ReadiBand, a wristwatch that is worn over a period of days or weeks. It measures wrist movement, which is used to identify when the wearer is asleep or awake. The longer it’s worn, the more accurate the data becomes. Sleep debt is an occupational hazard in shift work. Not surprisingly, mining companies are among Fatigue Sciences’ biggest customers because most mines use shift workers and it is an industry where human error can lead to serious industrial accidents. Privacy laws prohibit individual workers’ sleep data from being made available to managers that receive the analysis. But the data can be valuable in showing trends in their shift workers, like a spike in sleep debt at the beginning of a 10-day work week, for example. “They have accident investigation reports every time there’s a major accident, and they’ve correlated our fatigue data to directly link to what their accident data is,” Kerklaan said. “So they make the informed decisions to either reduce the hours that those guys are working or change their roster slightly.” The ReadiBand can tell wearers where they are in terms of peak performance level in percentages. When the readout drops to 70%, it means the wearer needs sleep and should not be driving or performing other tasks that could pose a risk to their own health or others. ReadiBand data can be transmitted to a smartphone or desktop computer and then analyzed. The company is also working with technology incubator Wavefront to develop a way to transmit data real-time – something the trucking industry is interested in, because it could be used to alert managers when drivers are at the wheel when they shouldn’t be. source： http://www.biv.com/article/20130716/BIV0112/307169910/sleep-science-helping-to-reduce-industrial-accidents
Summer School, Trondheim, 9 August - 3 September 2010 Postgraduate School of Industrial Ecology II Our summer school offers a series of PhD courses in industrial ecology. The courses in 2010 address sustainable consumption and life-cycle assessment/environmental systems analysis . The school builds on the successfully completed Postgraduate School of Industrial Ecology, an EU Marie Curie series of research training courses. It leverages NTNUs leading position in industrial ecology, including a comparatively large number of own PhD students and a long focus in PhD education in the field. The summer school targets Ph.D. candidates, young researchers and faculty members from throughout Europe who want to address sustainable production and consumption in their research. The series teaches participants cutting-edge research methods in Industrial Ecology and related disciplines. It aims to provide skills and knowledge to implement research programs in sustainable production and consumption. The courses are registered as PhD courses at NTNU and credited and graded according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) with 7,5 ECTS credits each. Each course consists of 2 weeks of self-study and 2 weeks of intensive training sessions in Trondheim. Fulfillment of each course requires the completion of an exam and submission of a research paper.

Hypotheses on life activities of microorganisms(original) Zhang Xingyuan, The three basic hypotheses on life activities of microorganisms (The three hypotheses on fermentation science) The first hypothesis: The hypothesis of metabolic energy supporting ( sustainment) The energy be able to promote the activities of life directly (to do cell-work within cell), can be called metabolic energy. Microbial cells rely on self-agencies for energy transformation to change the energy sector, from chemical energy or light energy into metabolic energy ，which can be directly used to support the activities of their own lives. The second hypothesis: The metabolic network hypothesis Based on the integration in the levels of molecules and the coordination in the levels of co-factors (co-enzymes), the metabolic pathway and transfer systems constitute the metabolic networks throughout inside and outside microbial cells. Metabolic network is a kind of scale-free networks of cell self-regulation, which as a whole to bear the microbial cell material metabolism and energy metabolism. The third hypothesis: The hypothesis of cell economy Microbial cell is an imbalanced open system far from a balance state, is a cell economy system which come into being on the basis of natural selection. Cell economy system is the security system for microbial cell survival, to provide continuous protection for cell in the sectors of adaptability, economy, and metabolism. The three basic hypotheses of microbial life activities as a whole, mainly as follows: ① A complete ideological system: The three basic hypotheses of microbial life activities (the hypothesis of metabolic energy supporting , the metabolic networks hypothesis and the hypothesis of cell economy), as well as the reasoning on the premise they made, constitute a complete ideological system. The first hypothesis reflects the premise of the living activities of microorganism (to supply energy continuously); the second hypothesis embodies the contents of microbial life (energy and material conversion relations); the third hypothesis to reveal the law of microbial life activities (to provide the basis for co-operation between human being and micro-organisms). The three basic hypotheses , from three different angles to analyze the same question, the living activities of microorganism, embody the three are interlinked and coordinated. The first hypothesis, from the perspective of bioenergetics and metabolic energy, we firmly believe that microbial cells are convertor of metabolic energy; the second hypothesis, from the perspective of biochemistry and metabolism, we firmly believe that microbial cells are biological and chemical reactors and biological materials processor; the third hypothesis, from the perspective of bioinformatics, we firmly believe that microbial cells are bio-informatics encoder, information sensor and information processor. ② The three hypotheses support each other, constraints, and complement each other: Energy metabolism rely on metabolic networks to achieve sustainability, metabolic networks need metabolic energy to run to support metabolism, energy metabolism and material metabolism overlap each other, and in restraint of cell economic laws. Currents of flowing metabolites in metabolic networks rely on supporting of metabolic energy, and are restricted to laws of cell economy; but the studies on metabolic energy sustainment and cell economy, must with the aid of the work-carrier, metabolic networks. ③ Nature dialectics in fermentation engineering: Modern industrial fermentation is going to establish in the base of academic research of the three basic hypotheses. The hypothesis of metabolic energy supporting revealed the driving force behind the industrial fermentation. In the hypothesis of metabolic networks, metabolic pathways (enzymes) and related carriers (proteins) have been organized as a whole, and known as the metabolic networks (material metabolism network), in order to have a good grasp of microbial physiology and material metabolism in the macro level, and to provide the basis of analysis for the actual operation sites in the design of industrial fermentation from raw materials to the target products. The concept of cell economy have been put forward, it provides a theoretical basis of that we handle the relationship between the unity of opposites of the subjective wishes upon industrial fermentation and the objective law of microbial life activities. ④ Cross-disciplines and infiltrate-disciplines: The establishment of the new concept of fermentation science is based on the combination, infiltration, fusion, and support each other,in the field of disciplines of chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, cytology and the field of disciplines of physics, physical chemistry, chemical engineering principles, electrotechnics, biology, economics, philosophy and dialectics of nature. please read revised version: http://www.sciencenet.cn/m/user_content.aspx?id=285662 http://www.sciencenet.cn/m/user_content.aspx?id=285663
