The coefficient of variation is a dispersion measurement that does not depend on the unit scales, thus allowing the comparison of experimental results involving different variables. Its calculation is crucial for the adhesive experiments performed in laboratories because both precision and reliability can be verified. The aim of this study was to evaluate and to suggest a classification of the coefficient variation (CV) for in vitro experiments on shear and tensile strengths. The experiments were performed in laboratory by fifty international and national studies on adhesion materials. Statistical data allowing the estimation of the coefficient of variation was gathered from each scientific article since none of them had such a measurement previously calculated. Excel worksheet was used for organizing the data while the sample normality was tested by using Shapiro Wilk tests (alpha = 0.05) and the Statistical Analysis System software (SAS). A mean value of 6.11 (SD = 1.83) for the coefficient of variation was found by the data analysis and the data had a normal distribution (p>0.05). A range classification was proposed for the coefficient of variation from such data, that is, it should be considered low for a value lesser than 2.44; intermediate for a value between 2.44 and 7.94, high for a value between 7.94 and 9.78, and finally, very high for a value greater than 9.78. Such classification can be used as a guide for experiments on adhesion materials, thus making the planning easier as well as revealing precision and validity concerning the data.

The region of the 8200 Å Band of H2O was studied in spectra of Venus obtained with an echelle grating spectrograph operated at an altitude of 14.6 km in the NASA Learjet research aircraft. Taking advantage of low foreground absorption, observing at a time of velocity quadrature, differential spectroscopy with respect to lunar spectra, and spectrum averaging, we establish a value of H2O of 3 ± 20 μ for the total path over the entire disk. This value differs from earlier studies of the integrated disk but supports the low values recently derived from infrared bands and by very high spectral resolution groundbased studies.These results establish that the average value over the entire disk is quite low but allows that locally larger values may exist as reported by Barker. A more complete description of this work appeared in Icarus21 (1974), 213.

Working facilities may influence worker’s working posture. CV.Tani Organik Merapi (CV.TOM) is an organic vegetables company. The company provides ”dingklik” (footstool) for working. While working with “footstool”, workers must bend their legs with high bend degrees as well as their back. This poor working posture is caused by bad working facilities. It’s important to check the working posture to know whether the improvement of working facilities is needed or not. Ovako Working Analysis System (OWAS) was used to check the badness level of working posture in every CV.TOM’s working activities. It’s identified that packaging section has the worst working posture. Then it was decided to provide a new working facility to improve working posture in packaging section. CATIA V5 was used to design the new working facility. Three ergonomics tools were used to compare footstool” working posture with the new working facility. Those tools are Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), Manual Task Risk Assessment (ManTRA), and Rodgers Muscle Fatigue Analysis (RMFA). It was found that the new working facility can substitute “dingklik” with lower posture score and safer. Keywords: Ergonomics; Catia; Comfortability; Facility; Working posture
