Effectiveness of infrared tympanic thermometry during physical activity in the heat at a solar radiation of 500 W/m2 or less
Exposure to high solar radiation in the heat poses a thermoregulatory challenge and increased risks of exertional heat-related illness in workers and exercising individuals. Core temperature monitoring is important during physical activity in the heat to prevent
Unravelling the mystery of rampant species formation on volcanic islands
How do new species of plants and animals arise? And why do clusters of divergent endemic species evolve so rapidly on remote oceanic archipelagoes such as the Hawaiian and Galápagos Islands? These questions have intrigued biologists since
Solar radiation reduces endurance exercise performance in a hot environment
Environmental conditions have a large influence on the development of fatigue during physical activity and exercise . High ambient temperature reduces endurance exercise performance compared with moderate and low ambient temperature . Moreover , in a hot
Heated red blood cells shed vesicles to indicate distress
When a human or animal are exposed to elevated temperature, the body temperature rises. A small increase in the body temperature may result in health problems that include a headache, dizziness, or fainting. Red blood cells are
