in this paper, we introduce ergonomic system in assembly department of irankhodro as a case study, and then we measure its role in employees’ health and improving efficiency and productivity. to this end, we studied the effective factors including environmental, physical, safety, mental, psychological, and training. this research is descriptive – applicative in nature. data were collected throu...

This study investigates the relationship between environmental attitudes and ‘greenness’ of party choice, moderated by exposure to problems such as incidence natural disasters poor air quality. The choice is operationalised share policy in parties' election manifestos. Voting for greener parties especially important protection because votes are keys national, eventually, global action mitigatin...

Advantages of urbanization such as access to clean water, health, and overall easier life in cities, as well as the disadvantages or its negative effects on environment cannot be ignored. Today, there are numerous environmental problems due to the reduction in ecologically valuable places within urban areas. Bringing nature to the cities appears to be essential to enhance urban environment and ...

One approach for reducing alcohol and other drug problems is community-based prevention programs. These programs focus on changing the environment in which a person consumes alcohol rather than the behavior of the individual drinker. Several international and U.S. programs have assessed the effectiveness of such approaches in reducing alcohol-related problems. Some of those analyses have had in...

The present report outlines recent results relative to the development of new linear and nonlinear approaches for solving groundwater flow problems. Efficient and robust simulation of complex processes in environmental applications is crucial for understanding, forecasting and performing opportune and reliable decisions. This research effort focuses in developing efficient solvers for two main ...

China is a rapidly developing country with one-fifth of the world's population. The country faces major social and political problems, which have gained the world's attention. Equally challenging are serious environmental problems resulting from overpopulation, rapid industrialization, and overuse of natural resources that could potentially threaten the health of China's 1.2 billion people, whe...

We study coalition formation and the strategic timing of membership of an IEA for environmental issues in the Coalitional Bargaining Game (CBG) of Gomes (2005, Econometrica). For the general CBG, we derive the necessary and sufficient condition for immediate formation of the grand coalition. We apply the CBG to a river sharing problem with two symmetric upstream agents and one downstream agent....

The analysis of many biochemical engineering problems in environmental modelling is based upon the development and solution of sets of differential equations. A complete analytical solution of such a model requires that every numerical constant in this set of equations is precisely known. This chapter describes some techniques, developed in the field of artificial intelligence, which permit the...
