Current and future outdoor thermal comfort in Asia

, 2022
Ongoing global warming causes increasingly frequent extreme weather events, such as heat waves, which will only intensify over time. This will impact our future perceived thermal conditions, but to which extent? Our perceived thermal comfort is not only depending on air temperature but also on wind speed/ventilation, humidity, solar and thermal ...

Housing Warmth/Coolness and Quietness Correlate With Whole‐Brain Fractional Anisotropy in Healthy Adults

Brain Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Residential environments have been linked to brain structure, particularly in children, older adults, and clinical populations. However, little is known about how different dimensions of the housing environment relate to brain white matter microstructure in healthy adults, or whether specific environmental factors show stronger ...
