Heat stress in Greece

International Journal of Biometeorology, 1997
For 12 selected synoptic stations of the Greek Weather Service, the daily 12 UTC values of the thermal index Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) were calculated for the years 1980 to 1989. The locally varied occurrence of diverse thermal sensation and particularly of strong heat stress were analysed in relation to the human-biometeorological significance.

The Automobile and Heat Stress

Pediatrics, 1976
This study suggests that the thermal burden of poorly ventilated parked automobiles can be considerable, particularly when the automobiles are exposed to direct sunlight. Leaving the windows open two inches does not appear to be protective. The practice of exposing infants and toddlers to such thermal risk appears to be common and the ...

Exertional Heat Stress Disease

Acta Clinica Belgica, 1983
SummaryDuring sporting events that took place under weather conditions unusual for our country, the authors observed 5 cases of exertional heat exhaustion and 4 cases of exertional heat stroke, one of which was fatal. The clinical pictures and the main biological values are summarized.

Heat stress and acclimation

Ergonomics, 1994
Heat stress reduces the capability for sustained exercise. On the other hand, with repeated exposures to hot environments, exhaustion is delayed. This paper examines the hypothesis that high core temperature might be the ultimate cause of the fatigue and inability to continue to exercise in hot dry environmental conditions.

Heat stress: Pollen tubes ROSted by heat stress

Current Biology
Male gametophyte development is highly sensitive to elevated temperatures. A new study identifies potential drivers of reproductive thermoresilience during pollen tube growth by comparing a set of thermotolerant and thermosensitive tomato cultivars.

Estimation of heat stress in Tanzania by using ISO heat stress indices

Applied Ergonomics, 1992
The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of the ISO heat stress standards in estimating the heat stress and strain in workplaces in Tanzania. Another aim was to select and to develop simplified methods for measuring physiological parameters in developing countries. The methods were tested in four hot factories and at a construction site.

Respiration in heat stressed camels

Respiration Physiology, 1987
Respiration and heat exchange in relation to brain temperature (Th) and body temperature (Tb) were investigated in four heat stressed camels subjected daily to high temperature (47 degrees C) in a climate chamber while resting when hydrated and dehydrated by approximately 10%, 15% and 20% of initial weight.

The stress (heat shock) proteins

International Journal of Biochemistry, 1991
When prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are exposed to a variety of physiological stresses such as a nonlethal temperature (4&43”C) and heavy metals, the synthesis of most proteins is suppressed, but a small number of proteins are rapidly synthesized. This reaction is referred to as the “stress response” or “heat shock response” and the induced proteins ...
