Stress analysis plays a significant role in the design of parts and structures that must carry load [1]. In this study, Crane hook which is one of lifting equipment, frequently used in material handling is investigated. Analytical (Straight beam, curved beam & Winkler-Bach approximation), experimental (Photo-Elasticity) and numerical (FEM) methods were used by various researchers to study stres...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a major health problem affecting millions of people worldwide. Recent studies provide compelling evidence that altered Ca(2) (+) homeostasis may underlie disease pathomechanism and be an inherent feature of all vulnerable neurons. The downstream effects of altered Ca(2) (+) handling in the distinct subcellular organelles for proper cellular function are beginning to ...

This paper presents the effect of high environmental heat on behavior of the male Charles Foster rats. Eighty rats were divided into three groups, subjected to (i) acute heat stress (ii) chronic heat stress and (iii) handling control group. Animals were exposed to the hot environment in a biological oxygen demand incubator at 38 ± 1ºC (relative humidity 45-50%) for four hours of continuous sing...

In 1985, a brief report published in Behavioral Neuroscience established the link between neonatal handling and concentrations of hippocampal glucocorticoid receptors (GR) in the adult rat, suggesting a neurobiological basis for the attenuated stress reactivity observed in handled versus nonhandled offspring. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Behavioral Neuroscience, this article explores th...

KATZ, R. J. AND K. ROTH. Tail pim'h induced stress-arousalfiwilitates brain stimulation reward. PHYSIOL. BEHAV. 22(1) 193-194, 1979.--Adult male Sprague Dawley rats with chronic access to self stimulation were sub~ctcd to handling, tail pinch, or left undisturbed. Tail pinch increased responding for positive reinforcement while the other conditions did not. The stress related properties of tail...

Objective: This review analyzes the scientific findings on main management and environmental factors that increasethe incidence of dark cuts in carcass water buffalo bovine Bos genus. Design/methodology/approach: Scientific articles were obtained from CAB Abstracts, Pubmed, Scopus Google Scholar databases. The primary search was carried out following keywords: Antemortem stress handling,dark cu...

Background: Manual handling, lifting, or carrying of material is responsible for non-fatal injuries among employees in industries. It is the second most prevalent reported risk factor in workplaces that can lead to potential manual handling accidents and longer-term musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The aim of this study was the evaluation of manual material handling using the American National...
