Older adults’ occupations in heat waves: A scoping review

Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy, 2023
Background Heat waves impact the health of older adults, and occupations are important for health. An overview of research focussed on older adults’ occupations in heat waves can be useful for occupational therapy practice. Objective To identify what the

Chronically underestimated: a reassessment of US heat waves using the extended heat index

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
The heat index, or apparent temperature, was never defined for extreme heat and humidity, leading to the widespread adoption of a polynomial extrapolation designed by the United States National Weather Service.

Assessing the Spatial Variability of Daytime/Nighttime Extreme Heat Waves in Beijing under Different Land-Use during 2011–2020

Land, 2022
Urban land-use affects surface air temperature; however, the impact of urban land-use on surface air temperature, particularly the extent to which it affects the duration of extreme heat waves, remains uncertain and the mechanisms of diurnal differences ...

Characteristics of Heat Waves in Mainland China since 1961 Based on Absolute and Relative Methods

Atmosphere, 2023
Based on gridded temperature data from the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), two types of methods, i.e., absolute methods and relative methods, respectively, were used to identify heat waves in Mainland China.

The impact of heat waves on mortality in 9 European cities: results from the EuroHEAT project. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: The present study aimed at developing a standardized heat wave definition to estimate and compare the impact on mortality by gender, age and death causes in Europe during summers 1990-2004 and 2003, separately, accounting for heat wave ...

Features of the dynamics of heat waves in selected cities of Ukraine

Вісник Харківського національного університету імені В.Н. Каразіна. Серія Геологія. Географія. Екологія, 2021
Formulation of the problem. One of the main manifestations of regional climate changes in Ukraine on the background of global warming is substantial rise of air temperature and increasing of extreme weather conditions.

The impact of heat waves on mortality. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Heat waves have been linked with an increase in mortality, but the associated risk has been only partly characterized. METHODS: We examined this association by decomposing the risk for temperature into a "main effect" due to independent ...

Collapsing heat waves

Mathematical and Computer Modelling, 2007
In certain combustion models, an initial temperature profile will develop into a combustion wave that will travel at a specific wave speed. Other initial profiles do not develop into such waves, but die out to the ambient temperature. There exists a clear demarcation between those initial conditions that evolve into combustion waves and those that do ...

Thermal quadrupole method with internal heat sources [PDF]

, 2012
A new method based on the thermal quadrupoles technique for heat transfer modelling in multilayered slabs with heat sources is proposed. Classical thermal quadrupoles use hyperbolic functions and numerical problems occur according to the argument value ...
