Evaluation of Heat Stress Exposure to Occupational Workers at Workplace
Abstract: Heat stress is considered as an occupational health hazard encountered in indoor as well as outdoor environments. In industries, many operations are carried out which involve either heat generating sources like boiler, furnace, dryers etc. or hot operations like welding, melting, glass blowing and pouring. Moreover, the extremes of temperature in summer also add to the level of exposure to heat stress. Exposure of occupational workers to heat stress can …

IS-Aligned Strategic Evaluation of Fire Protection Systems for Improving Fire Safety in Mixed-Occupancy High-Rise Buildings
Abstract: This paper presents a substantially reworked Indian-context evaluation of fire protection systems in a 14-building high-rise sample from Indore. The study reuses the original field dataset but replaces the earlier code mix with an explicitly IS-aligned and NBC-oriented analytical framework. Physical observation, document review and interview inputs were screened against requirements related to means of egress, compartmentation, fire detection and alarm, hydrants and hose reels, extinguishers, emergency lighting, smoke control, …

A Review of Psychoendocrine Morbidity: Co-occurring Diabetes Type-II (DIAII), Bipolar II Disorder (BPII), and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Abstract: The acute phase of (Bipolar II Disorder) BPII encompasses a psychosis of dramatic mood changes and elevated energy levels often accompanied by co-occurring psychiatric and systemic disorders. The co-occurring disorders (i.e., BPII, DIAII, and OCD) are accentuated, most often by the metabolic imbalances of (Diabetes Type-II) DIAII and sometimes by the psychiatric condition of (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) OCD. Increased morbidity and mortality of the co-occurring disorders dominates the chronic course of …

Adaptive Facial Recognition Algorithm For Partially Occlude Images
Abstract: In the present study we present an innovative approach towards countering the problem of partial occlusion in face recognition scenario. The partial occlusion can be caused by various objects such as scarfs, sunglasses etc., and its effects are confounding in the performances of the recognition rates. The framework tends to mathematically model the curvature and other essential features of the face such as micro-expression and the curves of the facial …

Occupational Exposure to Vibration—Hazards, Evaluation and Control
Abstract: Mechanical vibration is known to cause occupational health hazards. Exposure to vibration has potential to cause musculoskeletal disorders. Chronic exposure to hand-transmitted vibration causes occupational disease like vibration induced white finger (VWF). This article describes the harmful health effects caused due to exposure to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV) and whole-body vibration (WBV) and the control measures to minimize the exposure. Specifically, focus is kept on the evaluation of vibration exposure to …

Natural Occurrence and Isolation of Ampelomyces quisqualis (mycoparasite) Associated with Rose, Other Powdery Mildew Infecting Host Plants in Himachal Pradesh, India
Abstract: The presence of Ampelomyces spp. was quantified in naturally occurring powdery mildew infecting rose plants during the year 2015–2016. Powdery mildew infected rose samples were collected from the different rose-growing areas of Himachal Pradesh during the months of April–June and September–November. Relationships between Ampelomyces and Podosphaera pannosa were reported in four areas between September and November. Bilaspur, Mandi, Shimla, and Solan. However, there was no occurrence of Ampelomyces quisqualis in …
