Abstract:
Outdoor thermal comfort holds a pivotal role in the functionality of urban open spaces with these areas contributing significantly to thermal comfort and thereby elevating the overall quality of city life. The influence of thermal comforts on the built environment impacts outdoor activities and may contribute to the decline of environmental quality, posing a complex challenge. Consequently, there is a growing emphasis on outdoor thermal comfort studies, recognizing it as a multifaceted issue shaped by various factors. These factors encompass both direct and indirect influences, such as physica

Abstract:
The study specifies the sports clothing wearer comfort requirements for sportswear. Two essential components of comfort are considered – physiological and physical comfort. Comfort level for non-professional sportswear has been determined analysing the thermophysiological comfort, as well as the level of physical comfort. The research resulted in development of the algorithm for prediction of physiological and physical comfort in sportswear. The athlete’s thermophysiological comfort is predicted by measuring experimentally the thermal resistance and water-vapour resistance for specimens of fab

Abstract:
Although physical comfort is a self-evidently important goal in interior design projects, whose definition is usually assumed to be obvious and straightforward (a measurable outcome of the interaction of material and anatomical variables), in practice comfort has proven itself one of the most mysterious of human spatial possibilities. Comfort has radically shifted its meanings across historical epochs and across cultures. Rather than a simple and quantifiable spatial reality, comfort should be understood as a malleable social ideology – comfort as the unstable consequence of cultural ideas abo

Abstract:
Earplugs are commonly used to prevent noise-induced hearing loss, but their efficacy is often hindered by discomfort, impacting consistent and correct use. Comfort of earplugs can be comprehended through four dimensions: physical (related to biomechanical and thermal interactions with the earcanal), acoustical (linked to noise perception), functional (including usability and efficiency) and psychological (related to well-being and satisfaction). The evaluation of (dis)comfort involves intricate interactions among components of a triad formed by the user, the earplug, and the work environment.

Abstract:
Oral health does not exist in a silo. The mouth-body connection is a biological aspect of physical wellbeing that exists alongside the social and political drivers of whole-person health. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and agender/ asexual people, and people of other marginalized gender or sexual identities (LGBTQIA+), have experienced historical exclusion from healthcare systems perpetuated by chronic stigma. Ongoing discrimination, cultural insensitivity, and blatant homophobia/transphobia among healthcare staff results in poor health outcomes, including oral health. T

Abstract:
Temperature is one of the most common physical quantities (measurand) to be measured in experimental investigations, monitoring and control of building indoor environment, thermal comfort and building energy performance. The most common temperature sensors are the thermocouples and the resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). These analog sensors are cheap, accurate, durable and easy to replace or to repair. The cable of these sensors can easily be shortened or extended. These sensors have a simple, monotonic and stable correlation between the sensor’s temperature and their resistance/voltage

Abstract:
R-22 (also known as HCFC-22) is one of the most widely used refrigerants in U.S. Army air-conditioning and refrigeration (AC&amp;R) systems since the phase-out of R-12 refrigerant in 1995. The need to phase out R-22 is attributed to its global warming potential and high ozone-depleting capability. The U.S. Army has tens of thousands of aging AC&amp;R systems that will remain dependent on R-22, or one of the recently developed substitutes for R-22, until they reach the end of their operational life. This project conducted a survey to understand the current R-22 usage and types of R-22 AC&amp;R

Abstract:
Historic building restoration and renovation requires sensitivity to the cultural heritage, historic value, and sustainability (i.e., building physics, energy efficiency, and comfort) goals of the project. Heat recovery ventilation can contribute to the mentioned goals if ventilation concepts, and airflow distribution is planned and realized in a minimally invasive way. Compared to new buildings, the building physics of historic buildings are more complicated in terms of hygrothermal performance. In particular if internal insulation is applied, the need for dehumidification is needed for robus
