EFFECT OF WORKPLACE NOISE ON HEARING ABILITY IN TILE AND CERAMIC INDUSTRY WORKERS IN IRAN: A 2-YEAR FOLLOW-UP STUDY

Effect of Workplace Noise on Hearing Ability in Tile and Ceramic Industry Workers in Iran: A 2-Year Follow-Up Study

Introduction.Noise as a common physical hazard may lead to noise-induced hearing loss, an irreversible but preventable disorder.Annual audiometric evaluations help detect changes in hearing status before clinically significant hearing loss develops.This study was designed to track hearing threshold changes during 2-year follow-up among tile and cer

Climatic and geographic predictors of life history variation in Eastern Massasauga (Sistrurus catenatus): A range-wide synthesis.

Elucidating how life history traits vary geographically is important to understanding variation in population dynamics.Because many aspects of ectotherm life history are climate-dependent, geographic variation in climate is expected to have a large impact on population dynamics through effects on annual survival, body size, growth rate, age at firs
