Exploratory in nature, this study was designed to identify some of the personality trait configurations and attitude change patterns related to individual differences in cold coping capacity (CCC). Three enlisted marines participated in a week-long cold weather North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) combat exercise in upper Norway. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) was a...

Objective 1) Develop cold exposure-related injury syndromic case definitions 2) use historical data to compare trends among cases identified in syndromic surveillance and cases identified in NY Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) hospital discharge data to evaluate representativeness and 3) develop regression models to examine relationships with cold weather conditions, ...

Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC), is a concrete with zero slump, which is used in damming and road pavement. Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement (RCCP) bear heavy traffic loads and severe weather conditions. This type of concrete is due to its economic and environmental capabilities, including reduced construction and maintenance costs, longer durability and longer lifetime, as well as environmen...

this study simulates the temperature field and temperature stress of concrete face slabs, considering the cold waves that occur during construction as well as the contact friction between the face slabs and the cushion layer. the results show that when a cold wave occurs during construction, the surface and center temperature of the face slabs continually drop with the outside air temperature, ...
