AIM This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of hot dry, hot humid and comfortable season on physiological, hematological, biochemical, and oxidative stress parameters in Surti buffaloes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten lactating Surti buffaloes of similar physiological status were selected. Based on the temperature-humidity index (THI), their natural exposure to the environment was categori...

Abstract One of the significant components hydrological cycle is evapotranspiration. Monthly meteorological parameters 35 years from 19 stations across Northern Region Nigeria (NRN) were obtained and utilized for calibration Hargreaves–Samani (HS) model by comparing between potential evapotranspiration (ET o ) values estimated original HS Penman–Monteith (FAO-56 PM) models. The calibrated equat...

This study investigated an indirect evaporative cooling system (IECS) to control latent heat loss on roof ponds by increasing the evaporation rates wet fabric membranes. The potential of proposed was experimentally tested in a real environment and it compared against pond floating fiber (gunny bags) provide efficient model for buildings hot humid climates. Dry bulb temperatures (DBT) are presen...

Introduction Anhidrosis is a decreased ability to sweat in response to increased body temperature. It most often occurs in horses living in hot, humid climates like Florida and other Gulf coast states. It is an important problem for performance horses because thermoregulation is mainly accomplished by sweating in the horse. Between 65-70% of heat is lost via the evaporation of sweat and the hum...

Respirator performance rating tables have been constructed for hot, humid (29 degrees C, 95% RH); hot, dry (49 degrees C, 30% RH); and cold, dry (-32 degrees C, 70% RH) conditions. These tables convey expected wearer performance percentages compared to unmasked workers for various mask elements and work rates. The hot, humid condition was found to be the most severe overall. Many table entries ...

This paper aims to measure and analyze of the leakage current of 20 kV polymer and porcelain metal oxide surge arresters under humid ambient conditions by applying different voltages to the arresters terminal. The characteristics of the leakage currents at that stage have been investigated when changes in the ambient humidity were introduced in an artificial fog chamber. It is assumed that magn...

Extreme heat research has largely focused on dry-heat, while humid-heat that poses a substantial threat to human-health remains relatively understudied. Using hourly high-resolution ERA5 reanalysis and HadISD station data, we provide the first spatially comprehensive, global-scale characterization of magnitude, seasonal timing, frequency dry- wet-bulb temperature extremes their trends. While pe...

In the context of climate change and global warming, nexus between energy buildings is self-explanatory. As per ministry statistics program implementation, Govt. India data, primary consumption in building sector 37% total about 24% to CO2 emissions. It evident from research that thermal comfort, efficiency sustainable architecture are interlinked interdependent. The present study carried out N...

This paper presents a field evaluation of a passive badge for measuring 2-ethoxyethyl acetate (2-EEAc) in a humid working environment. Forty-eight pairs of side-by-side active/passive 8-h full-shift personal samples were collected to evaluate the performance of a passive badge for monitoring 2-EEAc with the co-exposure of toluene and methyl iso-butyl ketone (MIBK) in a warm and humid workplace....
