Background & Aims of the Study: Heat Stress is a major factor in many industrials and heat stress is one of occupational hazards in the workplace and severely affects the health and productivity, heat stress can decrease efficiency, increase accidents and reduce safety levels. Aim of this study was comparing the heat stress indices of HSI and WBGT and core body temperature in steels ind...

We present the first study on the mass functions of Jenkins et al (J01) and an estimate of their corresponding largest virialized dark halos in the Universe for a variety of dark-energy cosmological models with a running spectral index. Compared with the PL-CDM model, the RSI-CDM model can raise the mass abundance of dark halos for small mass halos at lower redshifts, but it is not apparent on ...

this experiment was conducted to study the effect of plastic mulch on the growth and some physiological characteristics of two strawberry cultivars (paros and queen elisa) under drought stress. a factorial experiment was performed based on randomized complete block design with four treatments, including mulch, without mulch, normal irrigation (control) and deficit irrigation (-10 bar) with thre...

This paper introduces the Dynamic Cascade Tree (DCT), a structure designed to index query regions on multi-dimensional data streams. The DCT is designed for a stream management system with a particular focus on Remotely-Sensed Imagery (RSI) data streams. For these streams, an important query operation is to efficiently restrict incoming geospatial data to specified regions of interest. As nearl...

INTRODUCTION The Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease has a prevalence of ∼12% of the urban population in Brazil. Koufman proposed the term to designate Laryngeal Pharyngeal Reflux (LPR) symptoms, signs or tissue damage resulting from aggression of the gastrointestinal contents in the upper aerodigestive tract. Belafsky et al proposed a score that points to inflammatory laryngeal signs through video...

There are many articles that support stretching, strengthening, good nutrition, hydration, rest, and ergonomics along with many other concepts that may be helpful in preventing repetitive stress injuries. The most conclusive literature proposes early recognition of onset symptoms, and immediate reduction or cessation of the casual activity. This is not well accepted by the musician, because thi...

Stock price predictions have been a field of study from several points of view including, among others, artificial intelligence and expert systems. For short-term predictions, the technical indicator relative strength indicator (RSI) has been published in many papers and used worldwide. CAST is presented in this paper. CAST can be seen as a set of solutions for calculating the RSI using artific...

In 2000/01, 10% of Canadians aged 20 or older reported having a repetitive strain injury (RSI) in the previous 12 months that was serious enough to limit their usual activities, the Canadian Community Health and the National Population Health surveys indicate. Of respondents reporting RSIs, 55% indicated that they had resulted from activities at work, while 20% cited sports or physical exercise...
