Biological effects due to whole-body radio-frequency exposure may be induced by core temperature elevation. According to the international safety guidelines/standards for human protection, the whole-body averaged specific absorption rate (WBA-SAR) is used as a metric. In order to understand the relationship between WBA-SAR and core temperature elevation, a theoretical solution or a closed formu...

Introduction Reconstruction of past climate change can provide us valuable information about the time, scale, and details of climate changes. For reconstruction of late quaternary cl...

most of iranian oil terminals are located in tropical regions and consequently, disorders of heat stress among workers are expected. there are many heat stress indices with self-advantages and disadvantages which are used for evaluating the amount of heat stress. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the reliability of wbgt, et and cet indices by comparison to core body temperature in kh...

INTRODUCTION 'Ice Mile' swimming is a new discipline in open-water swimming introduced in 2009. This case study investigated changes in body core temperature during preparation for and completion of two official 'Ice Miles', defined as swimming 1.609 km in water of 5°C or colder, in one swimmer. CASE DESCRIPTION One experienced ice swimmer (56 years old, 110.2 kg body mass, 1.76 m body height...

effect of nanosilver (ns) on the heat-transferring rate to the core section of medium density fiberboard (mdf) mat was studied here. a 400 ppm aqueous nanosilver suspension was used at three consumption levels of 100, 150, and 200 ml/kg, based on the weight of dry wood fibers; the results were then compared with the control mdf panels. the size range of nanosilver was 30-80 nm. results showed t...

Long-term reliability of processors in embedded systems is experiencing growing attention since decreasing feature sizes and increasing power consumption have a negative influence on the lifespan. Among other measures, the reliability can be influenced significantly by Dynamic Power Management (DPM), since it affects the processor’s temperature. Compared to single-core systems reconfigurable mu...

T he major reason for monitoring intraoperative temperature is for detection of fever, malignant hyperthermia, and hypothermia. Inadvertent hypothermia-defined by an absolute core temperature <36”C-is by far the most common perioperative thermal disturbance. However, hypothermia may be difficult to evaluate using liquid-crystal thermography, because skin temperatures are l-4°C less than core te...

Dairy farmers and veterinarians have used body temperatures, most commonly rectal temperatures, to detect and manage febrile disease and changes in the state of cows (estrus and onset of calving) for many years. Mastitis, pneumonia, metritis, lameness, estrus, onset of parturition, heat stress, and subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) are among the physiological conditions potentially correlated wi...
