Optimizing the Neonatal Thermal Environment

Neonatal Network, 2006
Devices used to maintain thermal stability in preterm infants have advanced over time from the first incubator reported by Jean-Louis-Paul Denuce in 1857 to the latest Versalet Incuwarmer and Giraffe Omnibed devices today. Optimizing the thermal environment has proven significant for improving the chances of survival for small infants.

The Thermal Environment

1975
The deep body temperature of homeothermic animals is maintained within fairly narrow limits by elaborate thermoregulatory mechanisms. These rely on a large number of graded physiological, morpohological, and behavioral responses, which in turn depend on the thermal nature of the environment.

Relative importance of certain factors affecting the thermal environment in subway stations based on field and orthogonal experiments

, 2020
As subway stations in cold-climate regions typically have no heating systems, passengers often feel cold in such stations during winter. People desire a comfortable thermal environment, which is sensitive to certain factors.

Standards for moderate thermal environments

Applied Ergonomics, 1985
Recently two Draft International Standards dealing with specifications of the conditions for thermal comfort (ISO DIS 7730) and measurement procedures (ISO DIS 7726) have been approved by the International Stadardisation Organisation (ISO). The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has made a standard with ...
