Quantitative assessment of body build
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1961A quantitative classification of body build is outlined for adolescents and adults based on 11 circumferences and 8 diameters which can be converted by division with appropriate constants into d quotients. Selected d quotients are then placed in three categories, d( A), d( B), and d( C), which indicate numerically degree of fatness ( A), muscularity (

The quantitative assessment of thermal discomfort
Environmental Research, 1969Abstract Discomfort aroused by lowering or raising the operative temperature of a subject's environment was found to follow the “power law” that governs many dimensions in the domain of sensory psychophysics. To a first approximation, discomfort caused by cooling grows as the 1.7 power of shifts downward in temperature from the level that feels ...
