The Visceral to Skin Temperature Gradient in Restraint Hypothermia
… <p>Summary: The effects of restraint on skin, subcutaneous, and deep visceral temperatures of rats exposed to environmental temperatures of 0°C, 8°C, 16°C, and 28°C are determined. The temperature gradients of restrained and unrestrained rats at 0°G are compared.</p> <p>From the data …

The effect of skin temperature on cardiovascular responses during endurance exercise
… studies investigated the effect of whole body skin temperature (T [subscript sk]) on cardiovascular responses and the independent effect of heart rate on stroke volume when Tsk is hot and cold during moderate intensity endurance exercise. In study 1, we systemically evaluated the effect of …

The effect of dominant hand biofeedback training on the digital skin temperature of right handed college students
… body would learn the voluntary control of hard temperature faster than those who received feecback from the non-dominant side.The sample consisted of 60 volunteers from a large university in the 'Midwest. The subjects were randomly assigned to two treatment groups with 30 subjects in each group. …

Investigation of skin temperature differentials in relation to estrus and ovulation in sows using a thermal infrared scanning technique
… physical and physiological traits such as body temperature, vaginal electrical resistance and vulva reddening have been investigated as methods to aid in estrus detection in swine. The relationship between vulvar skin temperature and ovulation has not been previously investigated. Therefore, the …

Perceptual Variations in Thermoregulation During Exercise in a Hot Environment
… individuals’ ability to accurately perceive core temperature ranges associated with homeothermic and EHI temperatures during exercise. Ten physically active males exercised on a treadmill at a self-selected rate until core temperature reached 39°C. Participants rated perceived core and skin …

Improving the Fanger model's thermal comfort predictions for naturally ventilated spaces
… A sensitivity analysis revealed that the comfort temperature prediction is by far most sensitive to the comfort value of mean skin temperature. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis also indicated that for the Fanger model to produce better comfort temperature predictions for naturally ventilated …

Effects of Cerebral Blood Flow and Temperature on Executive Function During Moderate Hyperthermia
… indicated that an increase of 5°C in mean skin temperature impaired working memory regardless of rectal temperature. The results also indicated that an increase of 1.5°C in rectal temperature increases the amount of errors by 38% when compared to baseline regardless of mean skin …

Thermoregulation during soccer specific intermittent exercise : the effects of clothing and environment.
… been shown to be dependent upon environmental temperature, while clothing is known to create a microenvironment at the surface of the skin. The aim of this thesis was to determine the thermoregulatory response to soccer-specific intermittent exercise during different conditions of clothing and …

The Effects of Three Different Ice Bath Immersion Times on Numbness (Sensation of Pressure), Surface Temperature, and Perceived Pain
… 10-, 15-, and 20-min ice bath immersions, when temperature was held constant. <strong>Design:</strong> Dependant variables; sensation of pressure (g), perceived pain (cm), and skin temperature (º C). A repeated measures 3 X 19 factorial guided this study. Conditions were 10-, 15-, and 20-min ice …

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
… chest, and the effect of a Tyvek® coverall on skin temperature and sweat amount were investigated as well. Ten male subjects were selected from college students. Each subject was assigned to wear a garment of either T-shirt and pants or a changeable left-sleeved Tyvek® coverall with or without …

Clothing Evaporative Resistance: Its Measurements and Application in Prediction of Heat Strain
… up until now have been based on manikin temperature rather than fabric skin temperature because the fabric skin temperature was unknown. However, the calculated evaporative resistance has been overestimated because the fabric skin temperature is usually lower than the manikin temperature. …

Development and evaluation of a thermal model for haptic interfaces
The thermal interaction between the skin and an object is influenced by the thermal properties and initial temperatures of the skin and object, and by the contact force and surface roughness of the contact surfaces. This thermal interaction is modeled in this research which characterizes the …

Thermoregulation in exercising horses: Aspects of temperature monitoring during field exercise
… little is known about the influence of core body temperature evolvement on hyperthermia in real time during different types of exercise performed in field conditions such as racing and endurance events. Consequently, it is becoming increasingly important to establish appropriate policies regarding …

The effect of heat insulation on the cooling requirements of the internal structure of high-speed vehicles
… a general method for determining the transient skin temperatures of bodies during high-speed flight was developed. The governing differential equation was presented for this purpose, giving the fundamental relations between the transient skin temperature and flight history. The determination of …

Acid-base regulation during sprint exercise in horses fed lecithin
… sprint exercise in horses. Differences between temperature measurement sites for the adjustment of pH and blood gases during exercise was also investigated. The independent variables, strong ion difference (SID), total weak electrolytes ([A<sub>tot</sub>]), and pCO₂, had different effects on the …

Effects of opioid antagonism on thermoregulation during prolonged exercise in the heat
… drug effect was observed on rectal or mean skin temperature during exercise. Post-exercise skin temperature was significantly (P<.001) higher on naloxone versus saline. Forearm blood flow (FBF) was consistently higher from minute 25 of exercise until test termination, although only the …

The Design, Development, and Validation of a Residual Limb Evaluation System for the Real-Time Data Mapping of the Trans-Tibial Amputee Socket-Limb Interface for Prosthetic Fitment
Introduction: Skin problems are known to occur on the residual limb (RL) of trans-tibial amputees (TTAs). These are induced by an improper prosthetic socket fitment, alignment or component selection. It was identified that there is a lack of RL evaluation systems (RLESs) that are tailored for the …
