Background: There is little specific published research which examines the health issues among Nepalese migrant workers in the Middle Eastern countries. In particular, it examines the nature and quality of health care situation, work-related health risks, working condition and living condition in host countries. Aim: This study reviewed the literature about work-related health risks, access to ...

In order to study the variation law of shear frictional characteristics steel pipe jacking and sand interface under different working conditions, stress–strain curve between five particle sizes normal stress slurry lubrication conditions was measured by using a direct device, internal friction angle, coefficient cohesion pipe–soil were calculated regression analysis. The test results show that ...

The objective of this work is to conduct a speech recognition study and evaluate the performance of the same under stressed condition. The speech recognition study is conducted both in isolated word recognition and keyword spotting approaches. The word models are built during training using speech collected from neutral condition. During testing these models are tested with speech signals colle...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The present study was designed to investigate whether 24 h of SD negatively affects the attention and working memory and increases the serum concentrations of stress hormones, glucose, and inflammatory markers. METHODS The acute effects of sleep deprivation (SD) on cognition and the stress hormones were evaluated in six healthy volunteers (all men, age 23-27 years). All...

Past research has emphasized the association between stress and the manifestation of psychotic symptoms in schizophrenia, yet relatively little is known about how environmental stressors affect cognitive processes in the illness. The present study sought to determine the effects of a loud noise stressor on a range of cognitive tasks, including spatial working memory (SWM), short-term visual mem...

in order to comparison and determination of the best drought tolerance indices in sweet corn hybrids, an experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design in split plot lay out with three replications at seed and plant improvement institute in karaj in 2006. three irrigation levels (irrigation after 75 as control, 100 and 125 millimeters cumulative evaporation from class a evapo...

this study was conducted to determine the effects of stomatal size and frequency on stomatal conductance, photosynthesis rate and yield, and to locate the genes controlling these traits. therefore, substitution lines series of ‘timstein’ (tim) into genetic background of ‘chinese spring’ (cs) were tested in a completely randomized block design with three replications under two normal and water s...
