PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS AFTER EXPOSURE TO HEAT: A BRIEF LITERATURE REVIEW
Annales Kinesiologiae, 2011 Many employees are exposed to heat stress during their work. Although the direct effects of heat are well reported, the long term physiological changes after heat exposure are hardly described. The present manuscript addresses these issues in the form of

Liquid Crystalline Elastomers in Soft Robotics: Assessing Promise and Limitations
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are programmable soft materials that undergo large, anisotropic deformation in response to external stimuli. Their molecular alignment encodes directional actuation in a monolithic structure, making them long‐standing candidates for soft robotic systems.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...
