Abstract: The development of a system’s biology, as a common construct for both physiologist and engineer, requires both a theory of structures (form) and a theory of dynamics (function). A dynamic ...

Abstract: It has been demonstrated that it is possible to measure the resistance of clothing as an ohmic relation between time-averaged equilibrium values of the flux of power (metabolism) and the ...

Abstract: An important objective in the development of a pressure suit for a human being is to permit the wearer full mobility, whether pressurized or not, without interfering with physical capability. ...

Abstract: For the engineer to deal with social questions, it is necessary that he have some basic view of how human behavior is governed in a technical sense. A foundational view is presented for the ...

Abstract: Quantitative measurement on the human in the so-called evaporative, vasomotor, and metabolic control regimes has revealed frequency spectrum of sustained thermal power oscillations with approximate ...

Abstract: A precise characterization of the thermal resistance of clothes requires an accurate description of the static and dynamic thermal characteristics of the human-heat source. Experimental measurements ...
