Anthropometry is a widely used tool across scientific disciplines like, clinical nutrition for assessing growth, body composition and anticipating the health risks, and clothing industry for customized designing. The conventional tools such as the calipers and measuring taps are now being replaced by the digital devices. Among digital devices, the latest technology revolves around low cost 3-D optical imaging techniques which finds their application in all domains including clinical, research and even day-today lives. The literature survey here was carried out in SCOPUS and fifteen research articles, meeting the inclusion criteria, were selected for this review. The study indicated the propensity of the USA and image processing technologies in contactless anthropometric measurements. The consistent studies since 1996 and the domination of the application of the anthropometric data in health services and textile industry suggest necessity of this study. This study utilizes the domain of the optical imaging techniques and provide an overview of the potential applications, operational details and validation studies. The contactless anthropometry is rapidly transforming the static and dormant areas of ergonomics with numerous research opportunities and novel applications.

"The difficulty of managing the proper treatment of the city concrete waste or municipal solid waste (MSW) is one that affects urbanized environment on a regular basis. As more goods and services are used for a high-life standard, the volume of MSW often rises. Less than 35% of the MSW in the United States gets recycled, while the majority is landfilled. New energy technologies offer the opportunity to minimize the rising MSW burden. Waste-to-energy (WTE) methods including gasification, plasma arc gasification, incineration, and pyrolysis can be used to transform MSW into a significant source of energy. Sources can be produced by various WTE technologies and can be used in place of fossil fuels energy resources. It is expected that the aspects of the stability related to different energy and waste treatments can be improved. The work introduces the creation of a model of WTE plant which is based on one the WTE technology, pyrolysis. This work initially needed to remove energy from the waste for which the study of various waste processing technologies has been done and appropriate waste processing technology is selected. The construction process started by selecting the necessary equipment and some challenges were made and changes were made to fix issues that were born during the construction and testing of the power plant model. The result of this work is the production of fuel from waste, which is stored in both gaseous and liquid form by condensation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
