Ventilation systems are the primary way of eliminating airborne pathogenic particles in an
operating room (OR). However, such systems can be complex due to factors such as …

As technology has advanced, the increasing pressure on energy usage reduction and
expectations of consumers regarding comfort have made the requirements posed on …

Neonatal jaundice (hyperbilirubinaemia) is common in neonates and, often, intensive blue-
light phototherapy is required to prevent long-term effects. A photonic textile can overcome …

The heat and mass transfer in clothing is predominantly dependent on the thickness of air
layer and the magnitude of contact area between the body and the garment. The air gap …

An analytical clothing model is developed to consider the effect of body movement on heat
transfer. This model quantifies the impact of forced convection in an enclosed air layer and …

This study investigated the thermal insulation properties based on electrical heating test of
graphene-based multi-layer fabric heating elements to confirm the possibility of application …

Clothing and the enclosed air layers highly affect heat dissipation from the body and thus,
are crucial factors when it comes to thermal comfort. The heat and moisture transfer is …

Dermal exposure to indoor gas-phase semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) has
recently received a great deal of attention, and this has included evaluating the role of …

The heat and mass transfer between the human body and the environment is not only
affected by the properties of the fabric, but also by the size of the air gap thickness and the …

An accurate local thermal sensation model is indispensable for the effective development of
personalized conditioning systems in office environments. The output of such a model relies …
