Assessing Heat Waves over Greece Using the Excess Heat Factor (EHF)
Climate, 2019 Heat waves are considered one of the most noteworthy extreme events all over the world due to their crucial impacts on both society and the environment. For the present article, a relatively new heat wave index, which was primarily introduced for the study of extreme warming conditions over Australia (Excess Heat Factor (EHF, hereafter)), was applied ...

A METHODOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF EXCESS HEAT FACTOR INDEX (EHF)
, 2018 Heat-wave is an important meteorological factor characterized by presence of abnormal heat, which has caused death historically over Indian region. Rising temperature on a global scale plays a vital role in increased frequency, duration and intensity of heat-waves. Excess heat factor calculation is used to identify the presence of heat waves. Different

EcoHealth, 2015 Although heatwave-related excess mortality and morbidity have been widely studied, results are not comparable spatially and often longitudinally because of different heatwave definitions applied. The excess heat factor (EHF) quantifies heatwave intensity relative to the local climate, enabling cross-regional comparisons.

Characterising the impact of heatwaves on work-related injuries and illnesses in three Australian cities using a standard heatwave definition- Excess Heat Factor (EHF) [PDF]
Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, 2019 Heatwaves have potential health and safety implications for many workers, and heatwaves are predicted to increase in frequency and intensity with climate change. There is currently a lack of comparative evidence for the effects of heatwaves on workers' health and safety in different climates (sub-tropical and temperate).

Heatwave and work-related injuries and illnesses in Adelaide, Australia: a case-crossover analysis using the Excess Heat Factor (EHF) as a universal heatwave index [PDF]
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2018 Heatwaves, or extended periods of extreme heat, are predicted to increase in frequency, intensity and duration with climate change, but their impact on occupational injury has not been extensively studied. We examined the relationship between heatwaves of varying severity and work-related injuries and illnesses.

Influence of initial binary mixture state of matter on heat costs at rectification
Тонкие химические технологии, 2014 Analysis of heat cost for rectification was performed taking into account the phase state of the original mixture. It was proved theoretically that increasing feed vapor fraction leads to decreasing energy consumption in conventional distillation process.

Subset of heat-shock transcription factors required for the early response of Arabidopsis to excess light [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 Sunlight provides energy for photosynthesis and is essential for nearly all life on earth. However, too much or too little light or rapidly fluctuating light conditions cause stress to plants. Rapid changes in the amount of light are perceived as a change in the reduced/oxidized (redox) state of photosynthetic electron transport components
