By 2050, Earth’s mid-latitudes could be experiencing extreme heat between 90 and 180 days a year, with tropical regions enduring even more. So how hot is too hot, and what can people do to handle the heat? Carolyn Beans digs into how heat waves a...
ted 探索热浪如何影响身体,我们能在多大程度的极端高温下生存,以及你能做些什么来控制高温。 在世界许多地区,热浪发生的频率更高,强度更大,持续时间更长。到2050年,地球的中纬度地区每年可能会经历90到180天的极端高温,热带地区甚至会持续更长时间。那么,有多热才算太热,人们能做些什么来应对高温呢?Carolyn Beans...

Explore how heat waves affect the body, what levels of extreme heat we can survive, and what you can do to manage high temperatures.
The compactness of the urban built environment significantly affects land surface temperature (LST), especially during heat waves (HW). However, the mechanisms by which the configuration of key building patches in built environments of varying compactness drives LST are unclear. This study proposes a...
How Does The Musculoskeletal System Support The Body The musculoskeletal system provides support for the body as it provides protection, protecting the body from any possible damage. The limbs of the body, e.g. arms, legs, hips and shoulders help support and keep the body held up. Many other...

From a lower, slower heart rate and breathing to creating memories and helping you learn, how does deep sleep affect your body?
How does heat affect transpiration? How does the human body lose heat? How do the properties of water contribute to thermoregulation in endotherms? How does temperature affect the water cycle? How does heat affect the state of matter?
of controlling its internal temperature starts to fail. Air temperature, work rate, humidity and work clothing are all factors which can cause heat stress. It may not be obvious to someone passing through the workplace that there is a risk of heat stress. How does the body react to heat?
