Yet it’s less clear how severe a particular defect must be to reduce load-bearing capacity enough that failure is more likely.

The field of probability plays a role in just about everything tree workers do.

Tree workers are slightly less than 0.05% of the U.S. workforce, but may account for about 1.4% of the work-related fatalities.

Why Won't Owners Do Maintenance on Compact Lifts
During TCI EXPO last fall, and in subsequent discussions, compact- or tracked-lift distributors expressed frustration with lift owners and operators who don’t do regular maintenance on their equipment, even for safety-related functions. We asked lift distributors how broad a problem this is and what, if anything, they can do about it. Remember to get your free subscription to TCI Magazine by clicking here.

Why Do Trees Care About Soil?
Why do arborists care about soil? Because it is everything to the trees that are in our care. Proper soil management may take some time to assess and understand, but it is worth it to the trees and their owners. Consider yourself not just an arborist but also a soil manager for urban trees, and make decisions that promote healthy soils that can support healthy trees.

MBI_至尊膠原蛋白 MAXI Collagen
對於膠原蛋白的沿革,您了解多少呢? 膠原蛋白最初的誕生與生命起源息息相關,1930年中期,科學家發現膠原蛋白之分子結構,也發現老化與膠原蛋白流失有密切關係,迫使人們投入研究,不斷突破及積累科研實力。同時也發現,當人體在消化蛋白質時,通常需將蛋白質分解成二肽、三肽及短胜肽之型態,較容易被腸道所吸收。 第一代膠原蛋白稱之為「原肽」,分子量約30萬Dalton,並未預先經過水解處理,不容易被人體吸收,這也是為什麼許多醫師認為,補充膠原蛋白、吃豬腳、豬蹄或雞爪等富含膠原蛋白食材,對人體無效的原因了。 在後續導入水解技術後,開啟胜肽小分子競賽,同時為第二代膠原蛋白時代拉開序幕。第二代膠原蛋白為小分子膠原蛋白,分子量約落在2000~5000 Dalton,目前已有成熟技術,能將膠原蛋白水解,甚至再以酵素分解膠原蛋白,形成各式各樣之胜肽結構,能大幅提高吸收率。 2021年MBI和康生技,跨界研發生產膠原蛋白,採用獨家創新製程,更以世界首創雙酵水解技術,發佈醫療級三胜肽 - 至尊膠原 MAXI Collagen,此第三代膠原蛋白的分子量可降至500 Dalton以下,其三胜肽結構 (Gly-X-Y) 更是在國際期刊,被證實比起一般型膠原蛋白,更利於腸道的吸收度與代謝率。此外,經質譜儀定序分析,同時含有9種機能性胜肽,能啟動關鍵修復因子、兩小時快速吸收,將功能發揮到極致。雖寫下科學史上最新突破,但胜肽競賽仍在進行中,未來我們將繼續創新、前進,寫歷史,加入並改善人類生活。歡迎加入大江學院粉專探索更多生技資訊 https://www.facebook.com/tci.academy
