responses of twenty chickpea genotypes to drought stress were evaluated in the farm of college of agricultutre, razi university, kermanshah, iran in 2006-2007. the experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design with three replications under two water stress and non-stress conditions. the results showed significant differences among the genotypes for most of the traits. maximum y...

abstract introduction: heat stress risk assessment, as a harmful agent at workplace, is essential for controlling heat strain and heat stress effectively. this study is concerned with the relationship between physiological strain index (psi) and wet bulb globe temperature index (wbgt) in women in the climate chamber . methods: this experimental study was carried out on 36 healthy females in sit...

in order to investigate the combined effects of shift work and heat stress on the physiological parameters, such as heart rate (hr) and body temperature (bt), a hot-dry working environment was investigated for 53 workers in foundry workshops. in this study wet bulb globe temperature index (wbgt) was measured and along with that simultaneously heart rate and oral temperature were checked in 3 sh...

heat stress is an important and serious threat at work and is a particular concern in outdoor occupational environments. this study aims at comparing heat stress and heat strain at different outdoor groups, examining the protective and adaptive actions which were done by workers and also provi services to them by government or employer to reduce heat load. this cross–sectional study was conduct...

the variation in climatic variables like temperature, humidity and radiations were recognized as the potential hazards in the growth and production of all domestic livestock species. thermal environment is a major factor that can negatively affect both production and reproduction in dairy animals, especially in animals of high genetic merit. among the stressors, heat stress has been of major co...

heat stress is well recognized among the hazardous physical agents that might be present during work. this study aims to compare wbgt index at acclimated and unacclimated people to permissible threshold limit value and study the differences between physiological parameters at them. twenty one healthy men were participated in the study. all of the subjects were monitored in two different weather...

introduction: listeria monocytogenes is a serious concern for the food industry due to its high case fatality rate, widespread distribution, ability to survive a wide variety of food processing conditions, and the severity of the illness associated with this pathogen infection. the objective of this study was to determine the growth, cell morphology and biochemical characteristics of l. monocyt...

original article   introduction: exposure to heat is one of the workplace risk factors, which may lead to thermal strain, such as rising heart rate and body temperature. to have the best association between a heat stress indices and physiological parameters have always been a major concern for those studying the subject. this study aims to compare the association of two heat stress indices with...

effects of chromium nano particles (nanocr) on performance and meat quality of japanese quail under physiological stress was determined by  using 360 birds in a completely randomized design with six treatments, four replicates and 15 birds per each, during  17- 35 d of age. the tratments were negative control (non-stressed), and five groups under physiological stress which fed on diets suppleme...

Abstract. The present study analyzed experimentally the association between experience of psychological stress and physiological response prospective teachers. experienced was assessed by self-reported data. Cortisol concentrations via saliva samples reflected response. results show no difference control group in stress. However, had significantly increased cortisol compared to group. could not...
