Climate change – in the citiesUrban microclimates cannot be explained solely on the basis of scientific phenomena, but are also affected materially and spatially by the city’s local architecture. The layout, design, and facade construction of buildings have a major impact on wind and temperature conditions.

Effects of epidural anesthesia on thermal sensation
Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2001Epidural anesthesia decreases the core temperatures triggering vasoconstriction and shivering, presumably by increasing apparent (as opposed to actual) lower-body temperature. We therefore tested the hypothesis that epidural anesthesia also increases the overall perception of warmth.We studied 8 volunteers in a randomized, cross-over protocol separated

Validation of the Omni Scale of Thermal Sensations
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2013Concurrent and construct validation of the OMNI Scale of Thermal Sensations was examined in a sample of 16 adult men and 5 adult women. Concurrent validity was established by regressing OMNI ratings of thermal sensation against core and skin temperatures obtained during treadmill walking while wearing firefighter thermal-protective clothing in ...

THE LOCALIZATION OF NON TACTILE THERMAL SENSATIONS
Psychophysiology, 1969ABSTRACTAn experiment by Nathan and Rice (1966) on the localization of thermal sensations was replicated. The present, somewhat more detailed, results essentially confirm the findings of the earlier authors. Thermal sensations evoked by non‐tactile thermal stimuli can be localized; their localization is less accurate than that of tactile stimuli; and ...

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1988
The sensitivity of thermal receptors and responses is compared with thermal noise in receptor cells and with thermal signals in the environment. It is demonstrated that the most sensitive responses known are far less sensitive than is physically possible but sufficiently sensitive to detect the smallest signals likely to be present in the environment ...

Thermal sensation models: a systematic comparison
Indoor Air, 2016Thermal sensation models, capable of predicting human's perception of thermal surroundings, are commonly used to assess given indoor conditions. These models differ in many aspects, such as the number and type of input conditions, the range of conditions in which the models can be applied, and the complexity of equations.

Probit analysis of thermal sensation assessments
International Journal of Biometeorology, 1977The probit technique for analysis of subjective assessments of thermal sensation is described. It enables transition temperatures from any selected thermal sensation to the adjacent thermal sensation (e.g. from “neutral” to “warm”) to be identified.

Native influences on the construction of thermal sensation scales [PDF]
International Journal of Biometeorology, 2020 Thermal scales assess thermal environments in terms of thermal sensation and comfort. The number of scale's categories and their verbal realization/labels, especially when translated for local applications, are subjects of research. This study examined variations from the ISO 10551 thermal scale when translated into Greek language.

Thermal sensation during experimental hypothermia
Physiology & Behavior, 1978Abstract Ten subjects were cooled to a deep body temperature (TDB)∼35°C by the passage of cold air and water over the skin. Four subjects repeated the exposure on 3 more occasions. Subjective assessments of thermal comfort were recorded using an automated 10 cm line device.

Psychological adaptation to thermal environments and its effects on thermal sensation
Physiology & Behavior, 2022Psychological adaptation to thermal environments might play an important role in the human thermal comfort. However, effects of psychological thermal adaptation on thermal comfort have been rarely studied. To investigate building occupants' psychological adaptation to indoor climates in hot summer and cold winter, a long-term tracking survey within a ...
