A common side effect of extreme heat is irritability, which can arise from physical discomfort and disrupted sleep patterns. The fatigue from sweating, working in the heat and the lack of quality sleep can leave people feeling stressed and on edge. Dr. Bright says that others may be irritable...
This creates a need to understand the nature of heat events not just globally but also within cities where local climate variation can be substantial. That local variation could prove highly consequential for heat adaptation in cities, making it important to understand the dynamics of extreme heat ...
In this study, we conducted a literature review to deepen our understanding of the sweating response of the thermoregulatory system, focusing on the influence of individual characteristics and local body functions. Among the factors related to individual characteristics, improvement in aerobic fitness had...
Department of Entomology, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA We have little understanding of how environmental condi- tions affect the expression of the genetic load for lifespan and adult mortality rates, or how this environmental dependence affect tests of models for the evolution of ...
Heat adaptation (HA) is a popular strategy to combat the negative effects of thermal stress. The HA literature has expanded since a 2016 meta-analysis, and

Various problems are encountered during production of local, deep-seated microwave hyperthermia, involving the technology of the irradiating syst...
In preliminary work, we found that moderate and extreme heat exposure in Nouna, Burkina Faso, increased premature death (years of life lost) from all non-communicable diseases [8]. A follow-on 16-year time series study in Nouna, Burkina Faso, revealed that extreme temperature increased the ...
People have always considered the exposure to non-ionising radiation with scepticism. The prospect that exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) can have a deleterious effect or any effect on cellular behaviour has been debated in scientific and journali
Using an intermittent respirometer, we measured the thermal sensitivity (metabolic Q10) and scaling relationship (b) of the round stingray, Urobatis halleri, based on their standard metabolic rates (SMR). A total of 33 individuals (mass range = 0.03–0.86 kg) were acclimated for over 14 days...
