Finger skin temperature change during contact with a cold aluminium surface was studied in
20 subjects (10 men and 10 women). Contact pressure (0.1 N, 5.9 N and 9.8 N), contact …

This study compares male and female contact cooling responses in order to ascertain
whether a particular sex is at a greater risk to cold injury. Ten volunteers (five male, five …

The major hazard associated with cold exposure is the potential for excessive body heat
losses. As a sequel to abnormal heat loss, tissues may cool down and result in more or less …
