Purpose – Heat stress, having caused preventable and lamentable deaths, is hazardous to construction workers in the hot and humid summers of Hong Kong. The purpose of this paper is to develop a heat stress model, based on the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index.Design/methodology/approach...
A heat index is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity in an attempt to determine the human-perceived equivalent temperature; "how hot it…
Health risks associated with extreme heat are expected to be more common as the climate continues to grow more hot and humid. In Miami by mid-century, it is likely that a total of 88 days, or roughly three months of the year, will have a heat index of 105℉ or greater (Southeast Flo...

In addition, morbidity associated with HRI is also likely to go unreported as workers may recover on their own and not seek care [4]. Based largely on heat stress studies in athletic, military, and industrial settings, agricultural health professionals have identified strategies to prevent HRI ...
This is the first study of heatwaves assessment in PM regarding the affected area, duration, severity and heat wave index. This study would assist in understanding the changes in heatwave characteristics and gaining insight into heatwave definitions for PM. Study area PM, bounded by latitudes 1....
Heatstroke: Directed by Andrew Prowse. With D.B. Sweeney, Danica McKellar, Chris Cleveland, Kelly Rice. Gradually people notice the heat index is rising, and that all life on Earth is at risk, for a hoard of alien dinosaurs want to take over; until a sol
Expressions in HeatmapRenderer may reference field values using the $feature profile variable and must return a number. The values returned from this expression are used to weight the density of each heatmap point. This property is typically used as an alternative to field for data-driven ...
