Physiology In Industries

 Industrial physiology studies a number of physiological processes occurring during work, for example, respiration, blood circulation, higher nervous activity, digestion, and sensory and motor processes, as well as environmental factors conducive to satisfactory work performance. Methods of measuring physiological processes include electrocardiography, recording the pulse, and measuring the blood pressure, the rate and depth of respiration, and the amount of oxygen taken in and of carbon dioxide exhaled. Changes in the rate of perspiration under various conditions are determined, and tests are made of sight and hearing. a branch of physiology that studies physiological processes in relation to work, that is, the work process in its physiological manifestations. The two main objectives of industrial physiology are to determine the optimum conditions for the performance of a given task in order to achieve high productivity and efficiency, and to devise ways of preventing the adverse effects of various work-related factors. The thermodynamic principles coupled with statistical mechanical concepts and readily available computer power allows a detailed understanding of atomic and molecular scale phenomena, using increasingly realistic models. The scope of the experimental developments is also enhanced through the increased use of complementary data (calorimetry, spectroscopy, etc.) so as to ensure a coherent and complete picture of the microscopic fluid structure and macroscopic phase behavior. The top journals are peer reviewed scholarly journals.
