noise is considered as one of the harmful factors at industrial environments. it affects human health in different aspects including harmful influences on auditory, vision, neurological and psychiatric systems, hormones, physiological and mental systems. paying attention to the importance of hormonal effects on human body seems to possess crucial importance. the aim of the present study is to i...

abstract background: previous studies have indicated an unspecific correlation between noise exposure and blood pressure disturbances. blood pressure disturbances could be caused by the environmental hazards such as noise exposure. the aim of this study is to analyze whether there is a relationship between noise exposure and hypertension. methods: atotal sample of 218 workers working in a small...

  Background : Noise pollution and workers' noise exposure are common in industrial factories in Iran. In order to reduce this noise pollution, evaluation and investigation of noise emission are both necessary. In this study, different noise mapping methodsare used for determining the distribution of noise.   Materials and Methods : In the present study, for preparing a noise map i...

Background: Noise pollution is considered as a stressful factor in every day’s life of the industrial world. The present study was designed to investigate the probable effects of different time exposure of noise stress on histomorphometric changes of adrenal gland, plasma cortisol and body weight of the rat. Methods: Sixty adult male Wistar rats were divided into two series of short time noise ...

The article presents a method for estimating the level of discrete white noise in an image, based on use linear difference operators with vector mask. Two variants new are proposed, which differ accuracy obtained estimates and computational complexity. first version can be attributed to class block methods, whereas second one is intended rapid image analysis processing small number rows or colu...
