Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of draught related to air velocity, air temperature and workload.
TL;DR: Testing the hypotheses that the effects of draught increase with higher air velocity, with lower air temperature, and with lower workload found that local heat production is probably decisive and draft-induced local annoyance is inversely related to workload in active but independent from workload in non-active body areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lowering of resting core temperature during acclimation is influenced by exercise stimulus
TL;DR: It is concluded that the lowering of resting core temperature contributes to the reduced physiological strain during heat acclimation and similar effects under neutral conditions point to the exercise stimulus as a probable explanation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Melatonin synthesis: a possible indicator of intolerance to shiftwork.
TL;DR: In this paper, Salivary melatonin level was determined hourly and rectal temperature was continuously recorded, and the onset of melatonin synthesis 3 hours earlier (P < 0.0001) in morning than in evening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acclimation to three different hot climates with equivalent wet bulb globe temperatures.
TL;DR: The present study examined 2 hypotheses: Irrespective of the actual composition of thermal factors, the course of acclimation is similar in hot climates which are equivalent in terms of the WBGT and Acclimation to a defined hot thermal environment confers equal acclimations to any other equivalent climate.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The three major traffic noise sources differ in their impact on sleep, and it is thus important to choose the correct concept for noise legislation, i.e., physiological sleep metrics in addition to noise annoyance for nighttime noise protection.
