The Influence of Environmental Stimuli upon the Human Body in Summer

Abstract

Green building practices benefit many users because it imposes less of a burden both on people and the environment and plays a central role in achieving a sustainable lifestyle. Covering rooftops with tall evergreen trees increases evaporation and reduces energy consumption by heating and air conditioning systems. Japan has a cereal-crop culinary culture and rice cultivation is a pri-

Progress in copper‐based materials for wound healing

“…Copper is one of the few metals that exist in nature as metals and can be used directly 42 . Pure copper surface antibacterial effect is significant, even at room temperature only 4 h to kill Escherichia coli 43 . Although studies have shown that copper is safe for humans, copper is a heavy metal and pure copper is unstable and easily oxidised.…”

The Integration of Human Thermal Comfort in an Outdoor Campus Landscape in a Tropical Climate

“…[2]- [5] revealed the relationship between the physiological and psychological responses of humans and invented the enhanced conductioncorrected modified effective temperature (ETFe) as the outdoor thermal environment evaluation index, and they clarified in many of their research papers that the variables that affect the thermal sensations are heat conduction, humidity, shortwave solar radiation, air velocity, heat conduction, and humidity.…”

“…There was a study showing that acclimatization did not have a significant difference on the psychological reaction when the subject could not tolerate the environment if the temperature was greater than 40˚C [4]. In addition, Thai people from a tropical region perceive an ETFe of up to approximately 35˚C to be a moderate thermal environment but cannot tolerate the temperature of approximately more than 40˚C [5] or 3˚Chigherthan normal body temperature or normothermia = 36.8 ±0.7 °C. Therefore, designers of effective outdoor environments should be aware of the harsh environment and consider avoiding alternatives and factors that can create heat radiation, especially during the summer.…”

Influence of Stroller upon Thermal Insulation of Infant

“…It has been shown that shortwave solar radiation has an effect on the thermal sense of the human body in outdoor spaces [1]- [8]. In addition, it has been demonstrated that the effects of direct and reflected solar radiation are significant in outdoor spaces, and that the outdoor thermal environment has a strong effect on the thermal sensation and comfort of the human body [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]. It has furthermore been demonstrated that shortwave solar radiation becomes significantly stronger as a factor of the thermal environment affecting the thermal environment evaluation index in outdoor spaces [7] [8].…”

“…Ground surface objects with a high heat capacity are close to the human body and the angle factor is large. Accordingly, it has been clarified that the influence of longwave thermal radiation from ground surface objects becomes stronger due to the combined influence of solar radiation, even if the shortwave solar radiation is blocked, and that this is a factor of the thermal environment that affects the thermal environment evaluation index [10] [11] [12] [13]. Therefore, when the human body is facing the normal direction of the sun or is close to the ground surface, the heat acquisition of the body and the effect on the physiological and psychological temperature is significant.…”
