Windchill and the risk of tissue freezing.
Low air temperatures and high wind speeds are associated with an increased risk of freezing of the exposed skin. P. A. Siple and C. F. Passel (Proc. Am. Phil. Soc. 89: 177-199, 1945) derived their windchill index from cooling experiments on a water-filled cylinder to quantify the risk of frostbite. Their results are reexamined here. It is found that their windchill index does not correctly desc...
متن کاملTowards an Operational Definition of Critical Thinking
This paper offers a state-of-the-art working definition for the concept of Critical Thinking (CT hereafter) in an attempt to provide a framework for the development of an operational definition for this complex concept. Having studied various definitions and models, proposed for CT by major figures in the field, the key defining features of this rich concept were identified and classified. Base...
متن کاملEvaluation of an Operational Leaf Area Index Retrieval Approach Using Vegetation and Modis Data
An operational method has been proposed to estimate the leaf area index (LAI) from satellite imagery in the framework of EUMETSAT Satellite Application Facility on Land Surface Analysis (LSA SAF). This study evaluates the performance of the LSA SAF LAI retrieval algorithm when prototyped to VEGETATION/CYCLOPES and MODIS reflectances over Europe for the 2000-2003 period. The results indicate tha...
متن کاملAn index for operational flexibility in chemical process design. Part I,
One of the key components of chemical plant operability is flexibility the ability to operate over a range of conditions while satisfying performance specifications. A general framework for analyzing flexibility in chemical process design is presented in this paper. A quantitative index is proposed which measures the size of the parameter space over which feasible steady-state operation of the ...
متن کاملThe joint peristimulus-time scatter diagram is an index of the operational significance of a synapse.
A major goal in neurobiology is to trace the neural circuits responsible for simple behavioural acts, and to try to understand the properties of the behaviour in terms of those of the neural elements and the connexions between them. Once the outlines of a neural circuit have been obtained, the following question frequently arises: What is the functional significance of a particular connexion be...
