This paper reviews the principle and application of thermally activated desiccant cooling systems with their capability to perform efficiently in hot-humid climates. The first introduces continuous increase thermal comfort required building relation consumption conventional energy sources. importance technology its applications has been introduced as well. environmental issues supply demand pro...

Polyvinyl chloride materials used in cooling towers always lead to damage and low efficiency due the hot humid environment. This paper suggests a glass fiber reinforced material for better performance. An optimal fractal distribution-of fibers composite matrix is experimentally obtained when dimensions are between 0.6 0.9.

Many important sporting events are organized in hot ambient conditions. In addition, given the global warming around world, and because heat also concerns millions of people living hot-dry and/or hot-humid environments, individuals often perform cognitive cognitivo-motor tasks under stress Hot environment can negatively affect aerobic high intensity performances influence mental function as exe...

We report a case of Demodex infestation in a 35 year old coal miner presenting with a 5 year history of scally papulopustular eruption on his face. He had been working inunderground coal tunnels in a humid- hot- dusty environment and he had been used to bath twice a day with hot water and multiple cleaners. The patient was treated successfully with oral metronidazol, topical permethrin, topical...

To estimate the water requirements of exclusively breast-fed infants in a hot climate, theoretical calculations of water requirements were made and a field study was carried out in Jamaica. Three urine samples were collected from each of 16 infants. The specific gravity of individual urine samples ranged from 1.005 through 1.015, with a mean of 1.009 (SD +/- 0.002). Corresponding values for osm...
