Moran, Daniel S., John W. Castellani, Catherine O’Brien,Andrew J. Young, and Kent B. Pandolf. Evaluating physiological strain during cold exposure using a new cold strain index. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 46): R556–R564, 1999.—A cold strain index (CSI) based on core (Tcore) and mean skin temperatures (Tsk) and capable of indicating cold strain in real time and an...

This study aimed to determine the body condition score (BCS) of Bali cows kept on smallholder farms and temperature-humidity index (THI) in Tidore Utara sub-district, from June July 2022. Eighteen (2-3 years old) were selected basis their BCS through direct observation (scoring scale: 1-5). The data analyzed as percentages (%) for each scoring scale presented a chart. THI value was determined b...

background : necessity of evaluating heat stress in the workplace, require validation of indices and selection optimal index. the present study aimed to assess the precision and validity of some heat stress indices and select the optimum index for using in heavy work activities in hot and dry climates. methods: it carried out on 184 workers from 40 brick kilns workshops in the city of qom, cent...

A physiological strain index (PSI) based on rectal temperature (Tre) and heart rate (HR) was recently suggested to evaluate exercise-heat stress. The purpose of this study was to evaluate PSI for gender differences under various combinations of exercise intensity and climate. Two groups of eight men each were formed according to maximal rate of O2 consumption (V˙o 2 max). The first group of men...

abstract background: clinical risk index of babies (crib), score for neonatal acute physiology (snap), an update of the clinical risk index for babies score (crib ii) and score for neonatal acute physiology - perinatal extension (snap-pe) are scoring devices developed in neonatal intensive care units. this study reviewed these scoring systems in critically ill neonates to determine how well the...

Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including ...

Current practice of validating predicted protein structural model is knowledge-based where scoring parameters are derived from already known structures to obtain decision on validation out of this structure information. For example, the scoring parameter, Ramachandran Score gives percentage conformity with steric-property higher value of which implies higher acceptability. On the other hand, Fo...

Heat strain in chemical protective clothing is an important factor in industrial and military practice. Various improvements to the clothing to alleviate strain while maintaining protection have been attempted. More recently, selectively permeable membranes have been introduced to improve protection, but questions are raised regarding their effect on heat strain. In this paper the use of select...

the objective of this paper is to present a design procedure for compact plate-fin heat exchangers based on full utilization of pressure drop. since, design engineers need to indices for optimum selection of plates, an appropriate  index   is   developed  and   then based on the rapid design algorithm, developed by previous investigators, the best enveloped has been modified.  the developed ind...
