CMIP6 models informed summer human thermal discomfort conditions in Indian regional hotspot
Scientific Reports, 2023 The frequency and intensity of extreme thermal stress conditions during summer are expected to increase due to climate change. This study examines sixteen models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) that have been bias-adjusted ...

Agronomy, 2023 Due to climate change crisis, the risk of occupational heat stress for agricultural workers has recently increased. The temporal and spatial biometeorological conditions in different climatic regions of Slovenia during summer were analyzed using the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI), and additionally the water loss index (SW) and the accepted ...

From Physiology to Bioheat Simulation: A Data‐Driven Framework for Core Temperature Initialization
Heat Transfer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Accurate initialization of core body temperature is a critical yet often overlooked component of bioheat transfer models, particularly when such models are applied to heterogeneous populations and real‐world environmental conditions. Conventional bioheat simulations typically rely on fixed or idealized core body temperature values derived from

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Four decades of UTCI data show increasing thermal stress along Ghana's coastal‐urban corridor, with very strong heat‐stress days rising by about 1.4 days/year. Random Forest–SHAP analysis with temporal validation identified AOD as the strongest model‐based predictor of monthly UTCI variability, followed by TSA, WHWP, and AMO.
