Abstract Cold temperatures (<−15°C) increase exercise‐induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), while hypoxic‐induced hyperventilation exacerbates respiratory muscle fatigue for a given exercising task. This study aimed to determine the individual and combined effects of cold and normobaric hypoxia on the respiratory system responses to high‐intensity ...

Twenty‐Five Years of Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Assessment
Abstract Fault displacement hazard poses significant risks to critical infrastructure such as buildings, roads, and pipelines. While some structures can tolerate a certain degree of surface displacement, others, such as buildings, are far more vulnerable. Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Assessment (PFDHA) quantifies the probability of exceeding
