No large effects on cognitive performance in high versus low solar green-flag WBGT conditions Open
Excessive solar radiation negatively affects cognitive performance. Occupational guidelines typically combine environmental components into one value, such as wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT). Here, we evaluated cognitive performance in t…

Effects of heat load and hypobaric hypoxia on cognitive performance: a combined stressor approach Open
This study investigates how cognitive performance is affected by the combination of two stressors that are operationally relevant for helicopter pilots: heat load and hypobaric hypoxia. Fifteen participants were exposed to (1) no stressors…

The Protective Performance of Process Operators’ Protective Clothing and Exposure Limits under Low Thermal Radiation Conditions Open
During the early stage of a fire, a process operator often acts as the first responder and may be exposed to high heat radiation levels. The present limit values of long- (>15 min) and short-term exposure (<5 min), 1.0 and 1.5 kW/m2, respe…

A Single Axial Impact Load Causes Articular Damage That Is Not Visible with Micro-Computed Tomography: An <i>Ex Vivo</i> Study on Caprine Tibiotalar Joints Open
Objective Excessive articular loading, for example, an ankle sprain, may result in focal osteochondral damage, initiating a vicious degenerative process resulting in posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). Better understanding of this degener…
