Regional differences in temperature sensation and thermal comfort in humans.
Sensations evoked by thermal stimulation (temperature-related sensations) can be divided into two categories, "temperature sensation" and "thermal comfort." Although several studies have investigated regional differences in temperature sensation, less is known about the sensitivity differences in thermal comfort for the various body regions. In the present study, we examined regional difference...
متن کاملConstraining the thermal history of the Warm – Hot Intergalactic Medium
We have identified a large-scale structure traced by galaxies at z=0.8, within the Lockman Hole, by means of multi-object spectroscopic observations. By using deep XMM images we have investigated the soft X-ray emission from the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM) expected to be associated with this large-scale structure and we set a tight upper limit to its flux in the very soft 0.2–0.4 keV b...
متن کاملDescribing linguistic information in a behavioural framework: possible or not?∗
The paper discusses important aspects of the representation of linguistic information, using imprecise probabilities with a behavioural interpretation. We define linguistic information as the information conveyed by statements in natural language, but restrict ourselves to simple affirmative statements of the type ‘subject-is-predicate’. Taking the behavioural stance, as it is described in deta...
متن کاملPrediction of Thermal Sensation in Non-air- Conditioned Buildings in Warm Climates
The PMV model agrees well with high-quality field studies in buildings with HVAC systems, situated in cold, temperate and warm climates, studied during both summer and winter. In non-air-conditioned buildings in warm climates, occupants may sense the warmth as being less severe than the PMV predicts. The main reason is low expectations, but a metabolic rate that is estimated too high can also c...
متن کاملGender differences in epilepsy : perceived or real ?
Epilepsy is the third most common chronic neurological condition across all ages, affecting around 1% of the population world wide. While epidemiological studies do not indicate any differences in the incidence of epilepsy in males and females, there may be significant differences in the impact and effect the condition may have between males and females across all ages. These differences may no...
