chainsaw is an important machine for tree felling limbing and bucking in hyrcanian forest and the major problems related to using forest machines was sound intensity. the aim of this study was to measure the sound level in occupational exposure of workers, determine the exposure time of workers and comparison of the variables among the workers. this study was carried out in namkhaneh district i...

nowadays, previously performance-oriented architecture of healthcare centers has been switched to creating a healing environment; and one of the most important pillars to create such an environment is omitting sound pollutions. today's hospital have chaotic situation regarding noise pollution not only in our country, but also in all over the world. the present study aims to provide a compl...

the aim of the present study was to examine the rate of noise induced hearing loss in a group of punching and cutting section and other occupational groups workers and its relation with sound pressure levels, age and work history. this descriptive, cross-sectional study included 245 workers of the punching and cutting section and other occupational groups of an iranian axial parts factory in 20...

in this study, using sound created by wheat grain passing through a pipe, wheat flow rate was measured. the developed device consists of a hopper, metering device, sound sensor, delivery tube, dc motor and power supply. several wheat mass flow rates were tested and the sound signal created by the passage of the grain through the discharge tube was measured and transferred to a computer using da...

abstract- noise is considered as one of the most debilitating conditions in farming operations. in this study, a number of factors affecting the noise generated by sampo 3065 combine harvesters were evaluated. factors were engine speed and gear ratio for combines with and without original cabins. a factorial experiment arranged as a completely randomized design with four replicates was used. re...

In consideration of physical and chemical properties of pure substances, speed of sound is one of important quantity which can used to calculate many of other thermo-physical properties such as isothermal compressibility, Joule-Thomson coefficient, isobaric heat capacity and etc. These thermo-physical properties are the main parameters in industrial and chemical processes. Development of accura...

objectives: to evaluate different signal-processing algorithms for tactile identification of environmental sounds in a monitoring aid for the deafblind. two men and three women, sensorineurally deaf or profoundly hearing impaired with experience of vibratory experiments, age 22-36 years. methods: a closed set of 45 representative environmental sounds were processed using two transposing (trha, ...
