Prediction of performance criteria for passive heating ventilation and air conditioning silencers
Unwanted noise is generated by the operation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in large buildings. The unwanted noise can be reduced by installing a passive silencer in the HVAC system. The ability to predict the performance criteria (insertion loss, regenerated sound …

Planar Multilayer Thin Film Coatings for Passive Winter Thermal Management
… energy is spent on comfort control including heating, cooling and ventilation. This large energy consumption results in significant greenhouse gas emission, which adversely affects the global climate. The high cost of fossil fuel also causes widespread energy poverty. Adoption of passive …

The Role of Dopamine on Central Neuromuscular Activation during Passive Hyperthermia
… 20mg) or MPH (Ritalin; 20mg) 1 hour prior to a passive heating protocol. 6 participants were passively heated until volitional cessation, or after 3 hours of heating had passed. Neuromuscular responses, as indicated by maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) force, and voluntary activation (VA) …

Neuromuscular responses to an isometric force and position task during passive hyperthermia
… of an isometric force and position task during passive hyperthermia, and the relative contributions of rectal (Tre) and skin (T ̅sk) temperature afferents. Surface electromyography (sEMG) was used to assess the electrical activity of the flexor carpi radialis (FCR) muscle during a force and …

Mechanisms of fatigue during prolonged exercise in the heat
… but with a wide inter-subject variation. Passive heating is a potent stimulus for prolactin release and it was shown that 5-HT\(_{1A}\) stimulation plays virtually no part in this process, raising the possibility that prolactin release during hyperthermic exercise may also be largely due …

Endocrine therapy mediated hot flushes in breast cancer: can exercise help?
… which was perfused with 34°C water followed by a passive heat stress where water temperature increased to 48°C. A hot flush was objectively defined as a transient and pronounced increase in sternal sweat rate (>0.002 mg cm-2 min-1). Sweating and cutaneous vasodilatory temperature thresholds and …

Thermal Comfort and Building Design Strategies for Low Energy Houses in Libya: Lessons from the vernacular architecture
… The reduction of the energy demand for heating and cooling is the key factor in the low energy houses and minimizing environmental damage caused by the emissions of carbon dioxide. In this thesis the traditional vernacular houses in Libya have been used as a vehicle of the research. The …

New Methodologies to Generate, Conserve, and Predict, Renewable Energy Output for Season Extension of Warm and Cool Season Vegetable Crops
… control in tunnel systems have been met via passive heating, with fossil fuels occasionally providing a supplementary heat source. Five heating techniques were examined for kale (Brassica oleracea) and summer squash (Cucurbita pepo) season extension. Treatments consisted of a low tunnel …

The exercise-induced expression of heat shock proteins in human skeletal muscle : the role of evaluated muscle and core temperature and the influence of training status
… Active young males (23 A: 3 years) underwent a passive heating protocol of 1h duration during which the temperature of the core and vastus lateralis muscle were increased to similar levels as that occurring during exercise. One limb was immersed in a tank containing warm water whilst the …
