Physiological cost and thermal envelope: A novel approach to cycle garment evaluation during a representative protocol [PDF]
This study aimed to examine thermoregulation in different clothing assemblies during a representative cycling exercise protocol. Six men undertook cycling exercise simulating representative thermal exchange challenges while wearing low (LOW ...

The Thermoregulation Story [PDF]
Although suppression of thermoregulatory mechanisms by anesthetics is generally assumed, the extent to which thermoregulation is active during general anesthesia is not known. The only thermoregulatory responses available to anesthetized, hypothermic patients are vasoconstriction and nonshivering thermogenesis.

Orientation to the sun by animals and its interaction with crypsis [PDF]
1. Orientation with respect to the sun has been observed in a wide range of species and has generally been interpreted in terms of thermoregulation and/or UV protection.

Estrogenic modulation of female thermoregulatory behavior in a cold environment
Thermoregulation is categorized as either autonomic (i.e., sweating, shivering) or behavioral (i.e., wearing clothes, usage of air conditioner) thermoregulation. Compared to autonomic thermoregulation, the neural pathway of behavioral thermoregulation in

Application of Monodisperse Encapsulated Phase Change Materials in Building Thermal Energy Storage
Monodisperse encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) are fabricated via microfluidic technology. To evaluate the thermoregulation ability of PCM capsules applied in building thermal energy storage, a gypsum model house with PCM capsules embedded is ...

Behavioral evidence of thermal stress from overheating in UK breeding gray seals [PDF]
Gray seals (Halichoerus grypus) in the UK exhibit clear preferences for pupping close to pools of water on inland breeding sites. The reasons for this are unclear as seals are thought to derive all their water requirements from the metabolism of fat ...

Thermal physiology of selected African ungulates with emphasis on the physical properties of the pelage [PDF]
The ungulates include some of the largest land animals and, in consequence, they cannot avoid climatic stress as do small mammals. A great deal of information concerning the physiology of thermoregulation in domestic ungulates is available but relatively

The importance of thermoregulation in the well-being of the newborn infant is fundamental to the health of the baby, and this chapter includes the mechanism of heat loss mechanisms, the roles of the midwife in providing a neutral thermal environment for ...

Hive thermoregulation is fundamental for the normal development of bee colonies and, consequently, hive productivity and honey bee health. External conditions mainly affect the walls of the hive.

In homeothermic animals sleep preparatory behaviours often promote thermal efficiency, including warmth-seeking, adopting particular postures (curling up, head tucking) and nest building, all promoting warmer skin microclimates. Skin warmth induces NREM sleep and body cooling via circuitry that connects skin sensation to the preoptic hypothalamus ...
