in order to better understand the impact of excessive heat on people's lives and prepare better adaptation measures, it is not only important to know how hot it gets—which we assess through biophysical measure
Data deduplication is the process of removing identical files or blocks from databases and data storage. This can occur on a file-by-file, block-by-block, or individual byte level or somewhere in between as dictated by an algorithm. Results are often measured by what’s called a “data ded...
How wet bulb globe temperature is measured Originally measured by covering the globe of a thermometer with a piece of wet gauze, the index was invented and first used during the 1950s to address an uptick in serious outbreaks of heat illness in the U.S. armed services while they performed ...
Increasing average temperatures and heat waves are having devasting impacts on human health and well-being but studies of heat impacts and how people adapt
We therefore advocate to understand and assess resilience as a capacity. While this understanding is in line with popular opinion, it is often not reflected in the assessment approaches applied. This dissonance shows, for example, in the use of single performance curves to assess resilience. We ...
Wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature to which an object can cool down to when moisture evaporates from it.
How much is the normal temperature of the human body? If the temperature of a glass of ice water is to be measured, what would be the estimated temperature? What did the 1979 Charney Report conclude? a. Global warming was real, but its effects would not be realized ...
Capacity is usually measured in milliamp-hours (mAh), watt-hours (Wh), or kilowatt-hours (kWh). The capacity measurement tells you how much electricity a given battery can provide in an hour, and the bigger the number, the longer the battery can work without needing to recharge. An out...
