A personal recollection: 60 years in thermoregulation

A personal recollection: 60 years in thermoregulation

This subjective essay is a personal reminiscence of my 60 y as a thermophysiologist. I recall the academic environment that I entered in the mid-50s, review our knowledge of thermoregulatory mechanisms then, and note the research that exploded in the 60s and continued through the 90s to bring us to our present state of sophistication. I conclude by mentioning some new research that may signal t...

In Memory of Professor Ján Horecký - A Personal Recollection

Facing a second major event of computational linguistics in Prague in the history of Czech CL – the ACL Annual Meeting in June 2007 – we cannot leave the first such event – COLING 1982 – unmentioned. But alas – most unfortunately, we have to start with very sad news about the then President of the Congress, Professor Ján Horecký, who died on August 11th, 2006 in his hometown Stupava (near Brati...

Reversible Humidity Sensitive Clothing for Personal Thermoregulation

Two kinds of humidity-induced, bendable smart clothing have been designed to reversibly adapt their thermal insulation functionality. The first design mimics the pores in human skin, in which pre-cut flaps open to produce pores in Nafion sheets when humidity increases, as might occur during human sweating thus permitting air flow and reducing both the humidity level and the apparent temperature...
