Comparative efficacy of portable active cooling vs. passive cooling for reducing core temperature in exertional heat stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Frontiers in Public HealthBackgroundExertional heat stroke (EHS) and exercise-induced hyperthermia require rapid reduction of core temperature (Tc). Portable active cooling devices are uesed in field settings where cold-water immersion (the gold standard) is not feasible, but ...

Natural ventilation and cooling by evaporation in hot-arid climates [PDF]
, 1990 In hot climates, outside air is too hot during the day. In hot arid climates, low humidity increases discomfort. For comfort, hot air should be cooled before flowing into dwellings and moisture in the moving air increased.
