Waikar, A., Lee, K., Aghazadeh, F. and Subramoniam, S. (1988): Subjective and Biochemical Evaluation of Lifting Tasks. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 683-686.

“Careful selection and training of workers, and good job design have not substantially reduced the incidence of low back injuries. Therefore, reduction in number and severity of such injuries has become a priority concern of many researchers. The specific question addressed by this research was "Are there any discrepancies between the rankings for the lifting tasks based on the subjective estimates of stress at the lower back and the rankings based on compressive force at L5/S1 predicted by the biomechanical model?" The results showed that some of the tasks evaluated to be less severe biomechanically were evaluated to be severe based on the subjective estimation of stress at the lower back.”

Lee, K., Waikar, A., Aghazadeh, F. and Chen, F. (1987): Evaluation of Trailer Hitches Using Ergonomic Principles. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 210-213.

“This paper presents a field experiment designed to test and evaluate two functionally different trailer hitches, conventional and newly designed, for driving effectiveness and safety. The evaluation was performed using three different approaches. The first used subjective evaluation obtained through subject questionnaire. The second involved estimating the strength required for the control of the steering wheel using electromyogram (EMG). The third involved monitoring the extent of the oscillations of the steering system of the experimental car. The independent variables were the type of hitch, driving pattern and the trailer load. Each of the six subjects participated in 24 driving runs in the experiment. The results showed that the new trailer hitch provides greater driving effectiveness and safety than the conventional trailer hitch.”
