It establishes the urgent need for commercial kitchens to be conducive to the well-being of kitchen workers as heat illness is unreported in this industry. This research is relevant from an occupational health and safety point of view. It evaluates the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) parameters such as heat, ventilation and humidity, noise and lighting in kitchens, cognisant that with different cuisines, the kitchen loads are different. The goals of occupational safety are health intervention for worker comfort to enhanced work performance. The book generates new knowledge regarding the factors affecting the body mass index of kitchen workers, prediction of heat and humidity near cooking stoves, discomfort near ovens, lighting in preparation areas and factors affecting reaction to stove noise. The book implements an exploratory design with multiple case studies."-- Publisher's description.KitchensPlanningEnvironmental aspectsEnvironmental engineeringSouth AfricaDurbanKitchensPlanningEnvironmental aspects.Environmental engineering643.3Gangiah Sasi1357513NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910682577203321Environmental ergonomics3363654UNINA04050nam 22007095 450 991029983500332120250609112517.0981-287-414-310.1007/978-981-287-414-6(CKB)3710000000379772(EBL)2095404(SSID)ssj0001465698(PQKBManifestationID)11832188(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001465698(PQKBWorkID)11479753(PQKB)11133723(DE-He213)978-981-287-414-6(MiAaPQ)EBC2095404(PPN)184890497(MiAaPQ)EBC3109156(EXLCZ)99371000000037977220150330d2015 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrRFID-WSN Integrated Architecture for Energy and Delay- Aware Routing A Simulation Approach /by Jameel Ahmed, Mohammed Yakoob Siyal, Muhammad Tayyab, Menaa Nawaz1st ed. 2015.Singapore :Springer Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (97 p.)SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology,2191-530XDescription based upon print version of record.981-287-413-5 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.Introduction -- RFIDs and WSNs -- Challenges and Issues in the WSN and RFID -- The Delay Model for Acquire -- Simulator for Smart Node -- Simulation Based Case Study and Analysis.The book identifies the performance challenges concerning Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and analyzes their impact on the performance of routing protocols. It presents a thorough literature survey to identify the issues affecting routing protocol performance, as well as a mathematical model for calculating the end-to-end delays of the routing protocol ACQUIRE; a comparison of two routing protocols (ACQUIRE and DIRECTED DIFFUSION) is also provided for evaluation purposes. On the basis of the results and literature review, recommendations are made for better selection of protocols regarding the nature of the respective application and related challenges. In addition, this book covers a proposed simulator that integrates both RFID and WSN technologies. Therefore, the manuscript is divided in two major parts: an integrated architecture of smart nodes, and a power-optimized protocol for query and information interchange.SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology,2191-530XElectrical engineeringComputer organizationPower electronicsCommunications Engineering, Networkshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24035Computer Systems Organization and Communication Networkshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I13006Power Electronics, Electrical Machines and Networkshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24070Electrical engineering.Computer organization.Power electronics.Communications Engineering, Networks.Computer Systems Organization and Communication Networks.Power Electronics, Electrical Machines and Networks.621.384192Ahmed Jameelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut870342Siyal Mohammed Yakoobauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autTayyab Muhammadauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autNawaz Menaaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299835003321RFID-WSN Integrated Architecture for Energy and Delay- Aware Routing2544402UNINA
