Exploring the Association of Heat Stress and Human Health in Cyprus
Environmental Sciences Proceedings, 2023 High temperatures during the summer months are a common feature in countries with a Mediterranean climate, such as Cyprus and Greece. However, anthropogenic climate change is responsible for the increase in the frequency, intensity and duration of ...

How Stress Can Reduce Dissipation in Glasses
, 2011 We propose that stress can decrease the internal friction of amorphous solids, either by increasing the potential barriers of defects, thus reducing their tunneling and thermal activation that produce loss, or by decreasing the coupling between defects ...

Thermal stress reduction in cool roof membranes using phase change materials (PCM) [PDF]
, 2017 A considerable amount of energy is used in the building sector for air conditioning purposes. Additionally, the building sector contributes to the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon which causes temperature rise in urban areas.

Synergistic and antagonistic impacts of suspended sediments and thermal stress on corals
Nature Communications, 2019 Understanding pressure pathways and their cumulative impacts is critical for developing effective environmental policy. For coral reefs, wide spread bleaching resulting from global warming is occurring concurrently with local pressures, such as increases

Increasing thermal stress for tropical coral reefs: 1871–2017
Scientific Reports, 2018 Tropical corals live close to their upper thermal limit making them vulnerable to unusually warm summer sea temperatures. The resulting thermal stress can lead to breakdown of the coral-algal symbiosis, essential for the functioning of reefs, and cause ...
