background: heat stress is one of the agents in the work environment that can create numerous problems for workers. the objective of this research is to study heat stress control in the foundry platform of a steel plant in tehran. methods: in this experimental study, controlling plans were demonstrated for the work conditions improvement in one of steel plant's foundry platforms. for controllin...

this study was conducted to determine drought tolerance genotypes with superiority in different stressed environments. to screening quantitative indices of drought tolerance, genotypes of safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) were tested in a complete randomized block design with three replications under two different water regimes (irrigated and rainfed). significant positive correlation was fou...

in order to identify drought stress tolerance in rapeseed, nine commercial rapeseed cultivars (opera, karaj1, karaj2, karaj3, zarfam, okapi, talayeh, licord and modena) were evaluated under two conditions (normal and drought stress) in kangavar region in the west iran in 2014-2015 growing season. this research was carried out in a split plot experiment based on completely randomized design in f...

background: pastry occupation is one of occupations to exposure with heat and significant number of workers works at it. this study is aimed to heat stress and heat strain score index assessment in the pastry workers of isfahan.   methods: this cross sectional and descriptive study was conducted on 360 pastry workers between 10 and 14 hours in the summer of 2012. wbgt index was used for determi...

conclusions the present study showed that heat stress had a negative effect on job satisfaction; also there were no significant effects on job stress and job performance. results the results showed that job satisfaction had a negative correlation with wbgt index (r = -0.42, p < 0.001) and hssi (r = -0.49, p < 0.001). also, there was no statistical correlation among occupational stress and job p...

in order to investigate the effects of drought stress and nitrogen fertilizer on photosynthesis rate and some physiological characteristics in two barley cultivars, a pot experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design as a factorial experiment with three factors including water stress, nitrogen fertilizer and barley cultivars in three replications. irrigation treatments condu...
