  2. 1. Evaluation of the Performances of Electrically Heated Clothing

    Author : Faming Wang; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electrically heated vest EHV ; heating efficiency; cold weather clothing; air velocity; clothing combination; thermal resistance; air temperature;

    Abstract : Cold weather garments are necessary for people who are exposed to cold environments (below -5 °C). The weight and bulkiness of such a cold weather clothing ensemble may limit human activity and reduce the productivity. In order to solve these problems, a slim garment with a built-in heating element could be useful. READ MORE

  4. 2. Intermediation in Business Networks: A Case Study in the Textile and Clothing Industry

    Author : Viktoria Sundquist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; textile; channel; clothing; industrial network; intermediation; intermediaries;

    Abstract : Intermediation is a central concept in the marketing channel literature where it is used for analyzing how specific firms, intermediaries, connect producers and users. It is argued that intermediation is primarily about increasing transaction efficiency when intermediaries undertake functions for closing the gap between producer stocks and consumer assortments, thus bridging discrepancies in time and place between supply and demand.

  5. 3. Clothing Evaporative Resistance: Its Measurements and Application in Prediction of Heat Strain

    Author : Faming Wang; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal manikin; clothing ensemble; evaporative resistance; localised evaporative resistance; thermophysiological response; heat stress; heat strain; the Predicted Heat Strain PHS model;

    Abstract : Clothing evaporative resistance is one of the most important inputs for both the modelling and for standards dealing with thermal comfort and heat stress. It might be determined on guarded hotplates, on sweating manikins or even on human subjects. READ MORE

  6. 4. Thermal Responses of the Hand to Convective and Contact Cold : with and without Gloves

    Author : Fang Chen; Ken Parsons; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Many outdoor working tasks and some indoor working tasks still require the worker to perform them in a cold condition. To cope with cold condition, warm clothing is usually applied. Nowadays, the thermal protection of clothing is sufficient but the extremities are still not very well protected. READ MORE

  7. 5. Identification of risk factors in cold work

    Author : Lina Giedraityte; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industrial Work Environment; Industriell produktionsmiljö;

    Abstract : All employers and self employed people have a legal duty to assess risks from their work activities, and for many persons in various occupations cold is a source of risks to their health and well-being. Questionnaire surveys conducted in the Nordic countries have indicated that 14 - 16% of employees experience cold as a hazard in their work. READ MORE
