Residents of a developed society enjoy various kinds of new residential, commercial and industrial developments. Many of these developments, however, may get us exposed potentially to hazardous accidents upon applications. Among them, burns and scalds are probably the most commonly encountered incidents [1-3]. For example, electric appliances like sprinklers, kettles, hot pot cookers, steam/dry...

Farrell recently published an interesting review paper on imaging human brain responses during heating and cooling. Here, he discussed our work on imaging such responses during menopausal hot flashes (HFs). Hot flashes are triggered by small elevations in core body temperature acting within a greatly reduced interthreshold zone in symptomatic menopausal women. This reduction is due to estrogen ...

-As technology improves, Virtual Reality interfaces based on body actions and expressions will become more and more important. In the domain of games, an evident application is the control of the hero by body actions.The robotics domain is another area where such an interface presents an attractive issue, especially because tele-presence is a hot topic nowadays. In this paper, we discuss an act...

When applied to partially depleted SOI MOSFETs, the energy transport model predicts anomalous output characteristics. The effect that the drain current reaches a maximum and then decreases is peculiar to the energy transport model. It is not present in drift-diffusion simulations and its occurrence in measurements is questionable. The effect is due to an overestimation of the diffusion of chann...

heat stress is a common occupational health hazard at outdoor workplaces especially in a hot-humid climate. overheating of the body can cause a number of problems, including heat rash, heat cramps, dizziness, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. the present study aimed to assess heat stress indices including di, wbgt, and sw req /phs, as a mean to estimate the heat load on the employees of a petro...

Maternal nutrition is very important for the course and outcome of pregnancy. Successful pregnancy and lactation require adjustments in maternal body composition, metabolism and function of various physiological systems. Poor maternal nutrition, especially in rural settings, affects pregnancy and birth outcome. Taboo food and drink are food and beverages, which people abstain from consuming bec...

The physiologic and performance effects of low-level reconnaissance flying in hot environments were documented and quantitated. RF-4C pilots and weapons system operators were studied in hot and cool seasons during both high and low missions to distinguish environmental temperature from flight level effects. ECG, sternal and thigh skin temperatures, and cockpit temperature at helmet level were m...

Linear stability analysis indicates that solar core is thermally stable for infinitesimal internal perturbations. For the first time, thermal metastabilities are found in the solar core when outer perturbations with significant amplitude are present. The obtained results show that hot bubbles generated by outer perturbations may travel a significant distance in the body of the Sun. These deep-o...

Results: On the hot plate model ED50 value was per body weight 0.34 (0.18 0.63) mg/kg of the pyrodazol /i.g, 1.00 (0.59 1.70) mg/kg/of the ketorolac/ i. g. in 90 minutes post administration. On the hot plate model in 0.3 1.3 mg/kg/doses i.m the pirodazol is similar to morphine hydrochloride in dose 2.5 mg/kg i.m. On the tail-flick model ED50 values of the pyrodazol and ketorolac are 1.9 (1.12 3...
