To explore the coupling effect of open space temperature and air velocity in hot-arid hot-humid climate regions rural China, 1690 valid data were obtained by long-term field tests questionnaires carried out regions. Results indicated that when operative is below 33.5 °C, mean thermal sensation decreases with increase region. When rose to greater than could be significantly reduced only over 1.0...

The study was designed to determine diurnal and seasonal changes in basic physiologic responses of donkeys adapted to the tropical Savannah. The rectal temperature (RT), respiratory rate (RR) and heart rate (HR) of six male Nubian pack donkeys, and the dry-bulb temperature (DBT), relative humidity and heat index of the experimental site were concurrently recorded hourly, from 06:00 h to 18:00 h...

Increasing water use and droughts, along with climate variability and land use change, have seriously altered vegetation growth patterns and ecosystem response in several regions alongside the Andes Mountains. Thirty years of the new generation biweekly normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI3g) time series data show significant land cover specific trends and variability in annual producti...

Pervious concrete has good permeability and moisture adjustment properties due to its rich pore structure. It can not only reduce surface runoff by infiltration of rainfall, but also retain a certain amount water inside, then decrease the temperature via evaporation. In order optimize evaporative cooling performance pervious concrete, this study introduces modified method incorporating superabs...

Many important sporting events are organized in hot ambient conditions. In addition, given the global warming around world, and because heat also concerns millions of people living hot-dry and/or hot-humid environments, individuals often perform cognitive cognitivo-motor tasks under stress Hot environment can negatively affect aerobic high intensity performances influence mental function as exe...
