Visualization of poikilothermia using handheld thermography

Heat transfer and fluid flow of benard-cell convection in rectangular container with free surface sensed by infrared thermography

The natural convection flow phenomena that occur inside an enclosed space are very interesting examples of complex fluid systems that may yield to analytical, empirical and numerical solutions, and many reports have looked into this basic problem. In the present study, heat transfer and fluid flow for natural convection in a horizontal rectangular container with a free surface are investigated ...

The DynaDOOM Visualization Agent: A Handheld Interface for Live Action Gaming

This paper presents the DynaDOOM Visualization Agent, a system for providing first-person visualization of live-action multiplayer games. Participants carry a handheld computer instrumented with location sensing devices and a wireless 802.11b connection. A smooth trajectory of each player’s motion is automatically generated from position estimates using the Dynadraw algorithm, and translated in...

Ground-Based Thermography of Fluvial Systems at Low and High Discharge Reveals Potential Complex Thermal Heterogeneity Driven by Flow Variation and Bioroughness

Temperature is a primary physical and biogeochemical variable in aquatic systems. Field-based measurement of temperature at discrete sampling points has revealed temperature variability in fluvial systems, but traditional techniques do not readily allow for synoptic sampling schemes that can address temperature-related questions with broad, yet detailed, coverage. We present results of thermal ...

Sudomotor function in human poikilothermia.

Hypohidrosis predisposes to hyperthermia and may indicate generalized thermoregulatory failure. To assess the sweating capacity in human poikilothermia, we performed a quantitative analysis of the central and peripheral sudomotor pathways in four women with acquired poikilothermia (aged 29 to 38 years) and nine controls. Heat challenge in a climatic chamber (ambient temperature 40 degrees C, 50...
