The benefit of doing this, as well as generating a second floor or mezzanine level in the building, is that heat exchange occurs through the floor, generating mixing in Space 1 because the heating is evenly distributed. Alternatively, Figure 9C shows an example with adjacent streams flowing ...
Also at risk are firefighters, field laborers, toxicological clean-up workers, astronauts, and military forces training or on active duty when performing exertional activity while wearing protective clothing that retains body heat (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIO, Sawka et ...
For individuals, awareness of climate change hazards needs to be enhanced, particularly for vulnerable populations; and active personal behaviors, such as reducing outdoor activity during the hottest hours of the day, using air conditioning and ventilation, wearing loose clothing and hats, and ...
Forster & Gregory (2006, p. 39) overstated the benefits of such an approach by claiming, “Importantly, the [ECS] estimate is completely independent of climate model results.” As Equation 1 derives directly from conservation of energy, the Forster & Gregory (2006) claim would appear valid...
The meshing procedure involves generating a surface mesh on the body and subsequently creating a Cartesian volume mesh in the fluid domain. Regarding the dimensional criteria of the average mesh, all mesh elements within the calculation domain are smaller than or equal to 0.023 m. The cell size ...
The benefits of this simplified modeling approach are: (i) The effects of individual processes (e.g., impact of traffic on exposure) can be identified more easily than in a complex model; (ii) Computational effort is reduced, which enables production of a larger number of simulations. In ad...
Thus, considering the costs and benefits of air conditioning, controlling the usage amount of air conditioning with regulations and education, and providing and encouraging alternative environmental solutions based on scientific knowledge can be the initial interferences of administrations. In addition to ...
Moreover, recent clinical data regarding benefits of microsurgical varicocelectomy have showed improvement in sperm parameters without changes in serum as well as intratesticular testosterone [42]. It is possible that under chronic heat stress conditions human Leydig cells adapt to heat stress and ...
We then dichotomised the total adaptive behaviours score into two levels at approximately the "mid-point": good (22–29) and poor (15–21) (see Table 1), generating a dichotomous variable for adaptive behaviours during a heat wave. 3. Data Analysis Of the 490 questionnaires mailed out ...
Researchers state that a wind of 1.75 m/s is considered a light breeze, which could cause hair to be disturbed, clothing to flap, and a sense of wind on the face [54,55]. 5. Conclusions In this study, an urban vortex system (UVS) is presented for urban air remediation. Using the ...
