Enjoying the outdoor pool in a cold climate

Cold pool dissipation

The mechanisms by which sensible heat fluxes (SHFs) alter cold pool characteristics and dissipation rates are investigated in this study using idealized two-dimensional numerical simulations and an environment representative of daytime, dry, continental conditions. Simulations are performed with no SHFs, SHFs calculated using a bulk formula, and constant SHFs for model resolutions with horizont...

Health in a cold climate.

British economy is edging out of a severe economic recession, during which the future of international financial systems seemed in doubt. The scale of debt is comparable to that following the Second World War, and national borrowing is predicted to reach 80% of gross domestic product by 2013. We have suffered a permanent loss in national output of 6–7%. The inevitable reduction in funding for p...

Plants in a cold climate.

Plants are able to survive prolonged exposure to sub-zero temperatures; this ability is enhanced by pre-exposure to low, but above-zero temperatures. This process, known as cold acclimation, is briefly reviewed from the perception of cold, through transduction of the low-temperature signal to functional analysis of cold-induced gene products. The stresses that freezing of apoplastic water impos...

Occupational Heat Stress in Outdoor Settings Considering the Regional Climate Change in the Future Decades in Iran

Background and aims: Nowadays, global warming and climate change have become one of the controversial topics that have an impact on the health of individuals and the threat to human life. In recent decades, particular attention has been paid to the issue of environmental change and its impact from different perspectives. Many studies have been conducted to study these effects (generally from a ...
