INTRODUCTION  Research on the workplace has emphasized the effects of noise exposure on workers' hearing, but has not considered the effects of agrochemicals. AIM  To evaluate and correlate the hearing level and tinnitus of workers exposed simultaneously to noise and organophosphates in their workplace and to measure tinnitus distress on their quality of life. METHOD  A retrospective clinic...

The response of montane and subalpine hay meadow plant and arthropod communities to the application of liquid manure and aerial irrigation - two novel, rapidly spreading management practices - remains poorly understood, which hampers the formulation of best practice management recommendations for both hay production and biodiversity preservation. In these nutrient-poor mountain grasslands, a mo...

At several locations in south Florida, water impounded by the leaf axils of native or exotic bromeliads was sampled for immature mosquitoes. Culex biscaynensis was the most commonly collected mosquito from exotic bromeliads at study sites in southeastern Miami-Dade County, whereas at nearby sites with native bromeliads, immature Wyeomyia mitchellii were more abundant than immature Culex biscayn...

In a convenience sample of 100 feedlot operations (included in the United States Department of Agriculture: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service 1994 Cattle on Feed Evaluation), up to 25 cattle fecal samples were collected and tested for the presence of Salmonella from each of two pens (the pen which contained the most-recent arrivals, and the pen with cattle that had been on feed the lon...

Abstract Water resources management in high-stress regions is a large-scale problem affecting food and water security. Therefore, modern irrigation systems such as sprinklers, subsurface, drip irrigations are applied to manage the shortage of Nile delta. Because increase population rate climate change, freshwater supplies significantly limited must be efficiently managed. Consequently, Egypt pl...

Effective crop development modelling is essential for management, water resource planning, assessing climate change's influence on agricultural production, and yield prediction. Validation simulation of the measured data indicated that AquaCrop software an effective reliable program designing pressurized irrigation systems to increase application efficiency, system performance future The model ...

The possibilities for building in wood have gradually increased recent decades mainly due to environmental benefits. But there are still restrictions terms of fire regulations many countries, especially taller buildings. situation has therefore been mapped about 40 countries on four continents as an update a survey 2002. main issues how high buildings with load-bearing wooden frames may be buil...

Introduction: Fire is a fire that cannot be controlled, meaning it beyond human ability and desire. hazard caused by potential threat degree of exposure to flames starting from the start spread fire, smoke gas produced. Objective: To understand also know management emergency response at East Jakarta City Rescue Service. Method: This research uses qualitative with an observational approach. Prim...

High nitrogen (N) deposition levels, currently present in many industrial and agricultural regions of the world, can strongly affect functioning forest ecosystems. In a pine with strong N leaching, located Netherlands, we studied long-term fate year-long NH4+ cohort labeled 15N. A high ambient low treatment had been established at site by means roof sprinklers. Resampling pools 19 years after l...
