This paper focuses on a description of the comfort by means of the temperature-humidity comfort index. In the attempt to describe this complex phenomena, those related to the human perception, for temperature and humidity estimation, we propose to use words of natural language. This linguistic description is not so accurate and also subjective than the numeric one obtained through usual sensors...

Abstract Introduction: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is recognized as one of the important neglected parasitic diseases worldwide. The present study aimed to determine the epidemiological patterns of cutaneous leishmaniasis in a period of ten years in Yazd province in Iran. Materials & Methods: This ecological study was performed on 5784 recorded cases within 2004-2013in health center...

In view of the traditional faults of wire network that complex wiring and costly wired network, a set of Zigbee wireless network technology based on the temperature and humidity data acquisition and control system is designed in this paper to improve the environmental temperature control in piggery. The Zigbee system which can monitor the real-time information of temperature and humidity in pig...

Measurement and monitoring of temperature, humidity and strain variation are very requested in great fields and areas such as structural health monitoring (SHM) systems. Currently, the use of fiber Bragg grating sensors (FBGS) is very recommended in SHM systems due to the specifications of these sensors. In this paper, we present the theory of Bragg sensor, therefore we try to measure the effic...

With rapid development of modern society, the requirements for high precise temperature and humidity is growing rapidly, for example production, storage, transportation, environment etc., these all have strict requirements for temperature and humidity testing, so the real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity and alarm prompt is extremely important. In this paper, a temperature and humidi...

air pollution is a problem in kathmandu, nepal. particulate matter concentrations often exceed threshold values at which human health is severely affected. the problem is serious since it is in the valley topography wherein the meteorological parameters role is significant. this study addresses the linkages between meteorological processes and air pollution in the lower atmosphere of the kathma...

A reliable assessment of the thermal environment should take into account the whole of the six parameters affecting the thermal sensation (air temperature, air velocity, humidity, mean radiant temperature, metabolic rate and thermo-physical properties of clothing). Anyway, the need of a quick evaluation based on few measurements and calculations has leaded to like best temperature-humidity indi...
