heat stress particularly  at  outdoor  workplaces in hot-dry    climates can  disrupt    the physical or mental functions and effect negatively on human performance. we aimed to study the effect of heat stress on productivity loss among workers of brick workshops in qom province – central iran. this cross-sectional descriptive and analytic study was performed on 184 workers in 40 brick workshop...

background annual four to five thousand babies are born with hearing loss in the iran. hearing impairment is a disability that affects the quality of life of people with this problem. these individuals need to support from family and friends because of their specific conditions that this received support has impact on their quality of life. this study was conducted to assess the status of perce...

In this paper, an adaptive two-stage linear Kalman filtering algorithm (Wu, Zhang, and Zhou, 2000) is used to estimate the loss of control effectiveness and the magnitude of low degree of stuck faults in a closed-loop nonlinear B747 aircraft. Control effectiveness factors and stuck magnitudes are used to quantify faults entering control systems through actuators. Pseudo random excitation inputs...

in this paper, lagrangian and equations describing one-dimensional anisotropic non-heisenberg model are studied. in this study we used the generalized coherent states in real parametrizations and the feynman path integral for these states in su(3) group. these equations describe nonlinear dynamics of non-heisenberg ferromagnetic chain completely. solutions of these equations are magnetic solito...

The general working hypothesis of this study was that muscle fatigue and force recovery depend on passive and active fluxes of Na(+) and K(+). This is tested by examining the time-course of excitation-induced fluxes of Na(+) and K(+) during 5-300 sec of 10-60 Hz continuous electrical stimulation in rat extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles in vitro and in vivo using (22)Na and flame photometr...
