exposing the ear to an intense noise will probably cause to hearing loss. this loss may be temporary threshold shift (tts), permanent threshold shift (pts), or a combination of the two. the average audiograms for the 157 textile workers, exposed to an average 100 db (a) overall noise level, in 5 age groups indicated that the losses were most prominent for frequencies of 3 to 6 kc/s showing a pe...

in this study, some seed physical properties of two sugar beet varieties, shirin and gadouk (436), were evaluated as a function of moisture content. physical properties included length, width, thickness, arithmetic and geometric mean diameters, sphericity, thousand seed weight, angle of repose, terminal velocity, true density, bulk density, porosity, and coefficient of friction. four moisture c...
