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...

In this paper, we demonstrate the impact of Multiword Expression (MWE) resources in the task of MWE recognition in text. We present results based on the Wiki50 corpus for MWE resources, generated using unsupervised methods from raw text and resources that are extracted using manual text markup and lexical resources. We show that resources acquired from manual annotation yield the best MWE taggi...

This review describes some of the literature pertaining to sleep deprivation, shift working, and heat exposure. Consequences of each on human cognitive function, particularly with respect to vigilance and attentional capacity are reviewed. Individually, each of these factors is known to impair human cognition; however, we propose the possibility that for miners working in hot underground enviro...

Nowadays, enterprises cooperate more extensively with other enterprises during the entire product life cycle. Temporary alliances between various enterprises emerge such as those in Virtual Enterprises. Collaborative applications are demanded that enable enterprises to engage in such endeavors. This paper aims to present a framework with which collaborative applications can be characterized and...

The Virtual Company educational scenario engages students in a professional setting for working and learning. Students are enabled to develop competencies that are derived from professional practice. This allows us to use assessment strategies that are different from the practice in traditional educational settings. In the Virtual Company educational scenario the competence assessment procedure...

To investigate the hot deformation behavior of 17-7 PH stainless steel, hot compression tests were carried out at the temperatures of 950, 1050 and 1150 oC and strain rates of 0.001 s-1 to 0.1 s-1. Accordingly, the hot working behavior was studied by the analyses of flow stress curves, work hardening rate versus stress curves, exponent- type constitutive equations and deformed microstructures. ...

The objectives of this study were to (1) assess the effect of passive heating upon attention and memory task performance, and (2) evaluate the effectiveness of the application of cold packs to the head on preserving these functions. Using a counter-balance design 16 subjects underwent three trials: a control (CON, 20°C, 40% rH), hot (HOT, 50°C, 50% rH) and hot with the head kept cool (HHC). In ...

Introduction:     women's  employment  is one of the fundamental problems in breastfeeding. Studies have shown that after delivery, amount of milk is  equal in the mothers working and non-working. But  after several   months will be reduced markedly. Methods: In this study, with different departments was done coordination , and interviewed with the 351 mothers that had children under two years...
