Impulse noise generated by industrial machines and occurring at a workplace is a cause of substantial hearing loss in workers. The paper presents data on workplace impulse noise, recorded in three plants of the machine industry. The data were collected in drop-forge, punch-press and machinery shops. The results of the measurements are shown as cumulative relative frequency distributions of the ...

background: one of the most widely used equipments in harvesting hay and grains are four wheel mowers. the aim of the present study was to determine the levels of noise exposure in drivers and bystanders in different states, speeds and gear of four wheel mowers (bcs model 622).   methods: the iso 5131 and iso 6814 standards were used to assess noise exposure in drivers and bystanders, respectiv...

The drinking, borewell and sewage water in the Sanmugasikamani Nadar (S.N) street, Naivatti Nadar (N.N) street and Thiruthangal area of Sivakasi has been studied. The various constituents monitored include the physicochemical characters like pH, total solids, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids; chemical parameters like total alkalinity acidity free CO2, dissolved oxygen, total hardn...

Intracellular biochemical parameters, such as the expression level of gene products, are considered to be optimized so that a biological system, including the parameters, works effectively. Those parameters should have some permissible range so that the systems have robustness against perturbations, such as noise in gene expression. However, little is known about the permissible range in real c...

Email: [email protected] Abstract: Many researchers have assumed one stage trade credit financing. In this study, we considered two levels of trade credit policy using Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) approach. Demand rate is considered to be stock-dependent for the first level (credit demand) and constant for second level (cash demand). Mathematical models are derived under two differen...

This paper develops an economic lot-sizing production model for deteriorating items with time dependent quadratic demand and delay in payments under two levels of trade credit policy. The trade credit policy adopted here is a two-level trade credit policy in which the supplier offers the retailer a permissible delay period M, and the retailer in turn provides customers a permissible delay perio...
