Abstract Thermal spraying processes include complex nonlinear interdependencies among process parameters, in-flight particle properties and coating structure. Therefore, employing computer-aided methods is essential to quantify these relationships subsequently enhance the reproducibility. Typically, classic modeling approaches are pursued understand interactions. While able capture very systems...

The purpose of the study was to compare the plasma cholinesterase (ChE) activities of 100 greenhouse workers and 43 fruitgrowers engaged in spraying insecticides with those of 113 slaughtermen who served as controls. The ChE activity in the greenhouse workers and fruitgrowers was not significantly lower than in the controls. Nevertheless the ChE activity of greenhouse workers declined with incr...
