Cochlear Damages Caused by Vibration Exposure

BACKGROUND Many industrial devices have an excessive vibration which can affect human body systems. The effect of vibration on cochlear histology has been as a debatable problem in occupational health and medicine. OBJECTIVES Due to limitation present in human studies, the research was conducted to survey the influence of vibration on cochlear histology in an animal model. MATERIALS AND MET...

Temporary threshold shift of temperature sensation caused by vibration exposure.

The temporary threshold shift of temperature sensation due to vibration exposure was studied to clarify the significance of frequency and acceleration on it. The discrete frequencies of the vibrations tested were 32, 63, 125, 250 and 500 Hz, and the accelerations were at the level of 2, 4, 8 and 16 g. The threshold shift of warm sensation (TTSw) was markedly, but that of cool sensation was smal...

Evaluating Damages Caused by Information Systems Security Incidents

As organizations adopt increasingly sophisticated information systems, the challenge of protecting those systems becomes enormous. Accordingly, the single critical decision security managers have to make is the amount an organization is willing to spend on security measures to protect assets of the organization. To arrive at this decision, security mangers need to know explicitly about the asse...

The Oxidative Damages Caused by Bacterial Growth in Foodstuffs

Obligate aerobes have respiratory metabolism with oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor. Therefore, they can produce ROS and oxidative damages in foodstuff which is contaminated. The egg yolks were incubated with different dilution of standard of E.coli and lipid peroxidation was assayed. The level of lipid peroxidation of high group (10 7 ) was 0.061±0.01 as compared with control; 0.016±0.0...

Developing Exposure-Response Relationships for Annoyance Caused by Vibration from Freight and Passenger Railway Traffic

The aim of this paper is to apply a new categorisation algorithm to an existing database of case studies in order to investigate its effectiveness in sorting unknown train vibration signals into freight and passenger train categories for exposure-response analysis. Relatively little work has been performed on the human response to vibration from railway transportation when compared with respons...
