Approximately 670 million residents in the ASEAN region face heat-related health risks including synergistic effects with air pollution. Despite health impacts of heat studies existed in individual countries, a regionwid...

Significant research interest in hybrid nanofluids stems from their extensive applications in areas like industrial cooling and biomedical engineering. The present investigation focuses on a hybrid Casson nanofluid, a no...

This paper examines the influence of controlled heat treatments on the mechanical behaviour of Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5 Titanium alloy) to improve its performance in structural and high performance applications. Ti-6Al-4V is w...

Background: Extreme heat poses growing public health challenges, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. Assessing heat vulnerability at the county level is crucial for guiding adaptation strategies. Methods: A count...

A significant part of the population worldwide is at high risk of diseases related to heat stress. The International Labour Organization estimates that by 2030, over 2% of working hours worldwide will be lost to heat, re...

Abstract Extreme heat poses increasing public health risks due to climate change, yet adoption of protective behaviours remains suboptimal. This study applied the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, and Behaviour (COM-B...

This study presents a comprehensive spatio-temporal analysis of nighttime Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Urban Heat Island Intensity (UHII) in Coimbatore from 2001 to 2022, highlighting statistically significant warm...

Abstract Nanofluids have emerged as promising heat transfer media due to their superior thermal performance associated to conventional fluids, yet their behavior under mutual impacts of radiation, heat source/sink, and m...

This article examines the startup period of a natural gas pipeline cryogenic reduction unit (CRU) within a gas distribution station (GDS). The objective of the study is to determine the temperature distribution within a ...

Rapid urbanization in Africa, particularly in Greater Cairo, Egypt, and Nairobi, Kenya, has significantly contributed to environmental change through increased Land Surface Temperature (LST) and the intensification of th...

Heated tobacco products (HTPs) sensory quality depends jointly on the components of the tobacco raw materials and the smoke. However, the relationships among tobacco leaf aroma components, heated tobacco smoke components...

This study aimed to explore the effects of lycopene (LYC) on testicular and sperm damage induced by heat stress in male rats and its potential protective mechanism. Male rats were gavaged with lycopene, and their scrotum...

IntroductionIn utero heat stress during late gestation impairs heifer growth and mammary development, reducing first-lactation productivity. However, whether these prenatal effects persist through the heifer’s first ge...

Abstract Background With the continued rise in global temperature, the health risks associated with heat have become increasingly prominent. This study aims to assess and map the risk and cost of hospital admissions and ...

This paper focuses on control systems for hybrid heat pumps that utilize the heat from return heat-ing water and outdoor air, designed to operate in district heating systems based on central heating plants. The aim of th...

Porous metallic structures such as Kelvin cells have attracted increasing attention due to their high surface-to-volume ratio and design flexibility, making them promising candidates for lightweight and efficient heat ex...

Abstract The multicomponent thermal fluid (MTF) process is a pivotal technology for enhancing heavy oil recovery. However, its injection often triggers particle migration and deposition within reservoirs, leading to perm...

Spermatogenesis, the basis of male reproduction, is susceptible to internal and external environmental interferences that impair fertility. Heat-induced reproductive damage is one of the most important factors contributi...

Extreme heat is a significant direct health threat from climate change, with rising temperatures and frequent heatwaves increasingly stressing communities and health services across Africa. High baseline temperatures, wi...

The braking system is a critical safety component in land vehicles, relying on efficient deceleration during operation. Among its elements, the brake disc plays a central role in dissipating the heat generated by frictio...

The main objectives of the study are to develop a generalized thermo-electromechanical model of a solid-state heat engine based on a Ni-Ti-Cu shape memory alloy for converting low-grade thermal energy (30-100 °C) into e...

Abstract The development of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is actively progressing; however, increasing battery capacity remains difficult, and the required driving range has not been achieved. Consequently, methods to...

Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events in cities, creating health risks and mobility issues while navigating urban areas outdoors. To identify where and when pedestrians face the ...
