Clothing Evaporative Resistance: Its Measurements and Application in Prediction of Heat Strain
… for standards dealing with thermal comfort and heat stress. It might be determined on guarded hotplates, on sweating manikins or even on human subjects. Previous studies have demonstrated that the thermal manikin is the most ideal instrument for testing clothing evaporative resistance. However, …

Industrial heat stress : Using ice slurry ingestion as a practical approach to reducing heat strain in workers
… hot and humid conditions where uncompensable heat loads are experienced; an inability to dissipate stored heat increases the risk of developing a heat illness. In order to minimise the incidence of heat illnesses, several heat stress reduction interventions have been developed which aim to …

Development of a system that can quantify the level of heat strain experienced by underground mine workers in real-time
… of a system that can quantify the level of heat strain experienced by the mine worker in real-time. This heat strain classification method utilizes the climatic parameters and the worker's individual physiological traits to create this prediction. This method also provides an estimate of the …

Physiological and perceptual assessment of thermal comfort and heat strain in garment wear tests using sleeves: an alternative to full-garment tests of chemical protective clothing
… measurements, to assess the thermal comfort and heat strain in chemical protective clothing wear tests. The effect of body sites, i.e. the arms and the chest, and the effect of a Tyvek® coverall on skin temperature and sweat amount were investigated as well. Ten male subjects were selected from …

Characterizing Occupational Risk Factors and Kidney Function in Migrant Farm Workers
As the number of hot days and heat waves are expected to rise globally within the next decades due to climate change, heat-related injuries and illnesses such as kidney disease, are also expected to increase. An important epidemic that has been associated with heat stress is chronic kidney disease …

Evaluation of Heat Stress in Migrant Farmworkers
<p>The rate of heat-related fatalities in crop production workers is almost 20 times that of other industries. Heat stress was investigated in migrant tomato workers in July, 2012, using measurements of body temperature, heart rates, body weight loss, evaluation of the thermal environment, and …

Ice Slurry and Cold Drink Reduces Exercise Induced Physiological Strain in the Heat
… the effects of an ice slurry beverage on heat strain and thermoregulatory responses during prolonged exercise in the heat. Methods: Twenty males consumed slurry (ICE, -1.4 ± 0.2 °C), cold drink (COLD, -0.7 ± 0.2 °C), or room temperature drink (RT, 21.5 ± 1.0 °C), while walking at 50% of …

Are thermotolerance and heat acclimation related through the heat shock response?
… that allow survival after an acute, severe heat exposure) and heat acclimation (systemic adaptations that improve heat dissipation following chronic heat exposure) have traditionally been considered separate phenomena. However, recent studies in animals suggest these adaptations may be …

The influence of spatiotemporal variation in ambient temperature on the ecology and physiology of birds
… how ambient temperature regime influences heat tolerances is becoming increasingly important due to climate warming, yet patterns of geographic variation in heat tolerances of endotherms have not been characterized. Finally, few studies have investigated the potential ecological …
