Heat balance in humans is maintained at near constant levels through the adjustment of
physiological mechanisms that attain a balance between the heat produced within the body …

Cold-induced vasodilation (CIVD) in the finger tips generally occurs 5–10 min after the start
of local cold exposure of the extremities. This phenomenon is believed to reduce the risk of …

Some materials feel colder to the touch than others, and we can use this difference in
perceived coldness for material recognition. This review focuses on the mechanisms …

This paper deals with the problem of fault diagnosis (FD) for a class of nonlinear systems.
The scheme is based on a discrete-time diagnostic observer that computes a prediction of …

The objective of this research is to analyze and model the decreases in skin temperature
when the hand makes contact with an object at room temperature so that thermal feedback …

Abstract A 7-segment and 29-node numerical hand-glove/mitten model was developed to
simulate human hand physiological responses in various cold environments. To validate the …

Objective: This article examines the changes in skin temperature (finger, hand, forearm),
manual performance (hand dexterity and strength), and forearm surface electromyograph …

Objectives: At the request of the European Commission and in the framework of the
European Machinery Directive, research was performed in five different laboratories to …

Manual performance while wearing a whole body covering NBC garment was studied at-10
C. Hands were protected by thin cotton gloves, which were covered with rubber gloves. The …

To further improve the efficiency of turbomachinery, an advanced aerodynamic optimization
system has been developed for the turbomachinery blade optimization design. The system …
