Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal limits of men in moderate to heavy work in tropical farming
TL;DR: The predictions of tolerance times from the transient change in Tcr or the exponential relationship with the WBGT were useful to suggest the protective limit for men at work in extremely hot environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ergonomics in sickle operation
TL;DR: It has been indicated that the blade geometry contributes significantly to human performance and there is ample scope for further design optimisation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of a water-cooled garment for auxiliary body cooling in heat
TL;DR: The observation indicates that the water-cooled jacket provided auxiliary cooling to maintain comfortable microclimate, skin and body core temperatures, which enabled subjects to sustain comfortable heat balance over 2 h heat exposure without any noticeable heat strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Workplace Heat Exposure Management in Indian Construction Workers Using Cooling Garment.
TL;DR: The present study suggests that PCG provides an affordable way of alleviating the discomfort and physiological strain caused by environmental heat exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human work capacity under combined stress of work and heat
TL;DR: The VO2max and analysis of the fractions of oxygen debt contraction (fast and slow component) indicated that the subjects showed a better training/heat acclimatization effect under hot, humid conditions.
