UNLABELLED Thermal sensation has a large influence on thermal comfort, which is an important parameter for building performance. Understanding of thermal sensation may benefit from incorporating the physiology of thermal reception. The main issue is that humans do not sense temperature directly; the information is coded into neural discharge rates. This manuscript describes the development of a...

Studying the thermal environment in classrooms is essential due to its impact on students' health, teaching, learning, and productivity. In Nigerian context, there a general lack of comfort studies, none specifically relate secondary school settings. This study aims investigate perceptions indoor determine optimum temperature naturally ventilated tropical savanna climate. Field investigations w...

Background: Cannabinoid, particularly hashish and WIN 55212-2 (WIN), consumption during embryonic period may affect fetal growth, and the development of motor functioning, memory and cognitive functions. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effects of WIN 55212-2 during embryonic period on behavioral responses, as well as tissue and memory changes among neonatal rats. Methods: WIN...

The recent ASHRAE project, “Updating the ASHRAE/ ACCA Residential Heating and Cooling Load Calculation Procedures and Data” (RP-1199), developed two new residential loads calculation procedures: residential heat balance (RHB), a detailed heat balance method that requires computer implementation, and residential load factor (RLF), a simplified procedure that is hand tractable and suitable for sp...

Office workers' preferences for air movement have been extracted from a database of indoor environmental quality surveys performed in over 200 buildings. Dissatisfaction with the amount of air motion is very common, with too little air movement cited far more commonly than too much air movement. Workers were also surveyed in a detailed two-season study of a single naturally ventilated building....
