heat stress is a common occupational health hazard at outdoor workplaces especially in a hot-humid climate. overheating of the body can cause a number of problems, including heat rash, heat cramps, dizziness, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. the present study aimed to assess heat stress indices including di, wbgt, and sw req /phs, as a mean to estimate the heat load on the employees of a petro...

BACKGROUND Heat exposure among construction workers in the Persian Gulf region is a serious hazard for health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) Index for estimation of heat strain in hot/humid conditions by the use of Physiological Strain Index (PSI) as the gold standard. MATERIAL AND METHODS This cross-sectional study was carried out ...

INTRODUCTION Physiological, anthropometrical and thermal perceptual are the most important factors affecting thermoregulation of men and women in workplaces. The purpose of this study was determining the validity of a questionnaire method for assessing women's heat strain in workplaces. METHODS This cross-sectional study was carried out on 96 healthy women. Data were continuously collected ov...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to develop alternative Strain Index risk classification categories. BACKGROUND Strain Index scores are usually categorized into four Strain Index "risk categories." The "original" risk categories were developed in the meat-packing industry and may not be fully applicable to other industries. METHOD Daily Strain Index scores were estimated among 276 ma...

The system-level protocol verification of a high-end FPGA with an embedded high-speed serial interface (HSSI) poses challenges that are comparable to and arguably exceed those encountered in ASIC-like verification flows. A single high-end FPGA device with embedded transceivers is designed to provide dedicated hard intellectual property (IP) support for a wide range of industry protocols and app...

The suitability evaluation of human settlements over time and space is essential to track potential challenges towards suitable provide references for policy-makers. This study established a theoretical framework based on the nature, human, economy, society, residence subsystems. Evaluation indicators were determined with consideration coupling effect among Based extended Fourier amplitude sens...
