A NEW GENERAL FORMULATION FOR THE PMV THERMAL COMFORT INDEX

A New General Formulation for the PMV Thermal Comfort Index

The PMV index forms the basis of international thermal comfort standards.PMV was developed based on empirical relationships between the metabolic rate of activity and the body mean skin temperature and evaporative heat loss under the comfort conditions.However, many recent studies have questioned the accuracy and reliability of the PMV predictions,

Evaluation of the equivalence of different intakes of Fruitflow in affecting platelet aggregation and thrombin generation capacity in a randomized, double-blinded pilot study in male subjects

Abstract Background The water-soluble tomato extract, Fruitflow® is a dietary antiplatelet which can be used to lower platelet aggregability in primary preventative settings.We carried Carb Caps out a pilot study to investigate the range of intakes linked to efficacy and to make an initial assessment of variability in response to Fruitflow®.Metho

Gingival Veneer: A Novel Technique of Masking Gingival Recession

One of the most distressing aspects of periodontitis is the unesthetic appearance of maxillary and mandibular anteriors.The elongation of the crowns due to root exposure and increased interdental spacing results in unesthetic appearance.Surgical procedures for gingival recession coverage do not have acceptable results in cases of severe gingival re

How structure determines correlations in neuronal networks.

Networks are becoming a ubiquitous metaphor for the understanding of complex biological systems, spanning the range between molecular signalling pathways, neural networks in the brain, and interacting species in a food web.In many models, we face an intricate interplay between the topology of the network and the dynamics of the system, which is gen
