چکیده
Abstract A wet-bulb temperature of 35 ○ C is widely used as the threshold for human survivability, but not a particularly accurate metric heat stress. For person in shade, more index, which based on model thermoregulation that accounts metabolic heat, radiation, respiratory ventilation, and finite wind speeds. The index has two critical values: highest healthy core can be maintained survivable. It shown here corresponds to conditions between these values. example, world warmer than pre-industrial by 10 C, about 30% world's population would exposed once or per year above reveals less 2% fatal while over 60% cause hyperthermia.

Background: Heat stress in the steel industry is considered as a serious threat to the health and safety of workers. A wide spectrum of complications and diseases from mild disorders such as burning sensation to fatal conditions such as thermal shock may occur due to uncontrolled thermal stress. In this study, heat stress assessment was performed according to the wet-bulb globe temperature (WBG...

The U.S. Army has a need for continuous, accurate estimates of the wet bulb globe temperature to protect soldiers and civilian workers from heat-related injuries, including those involved in the storage and destruction of aging chemical munitions at depots across the United States. At these depots, workers must don protective clothing that increases their risk of heat-related injury. Because of...

The operating temperatures of current electrochemical energy storage devices are limited due to electrolyte degradation and separator instability at higher temperatures. Here we demonstrate that a tailored mixture of materials can facilitate operation of supercapacitors at record temperatures, as high as 200°C. Composite electrolyte/separator structures made from naturally occurring clay and ro...
