  2. Human thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_thermoregulation

    There are four avenues of heat loss: convection, conduction, radiation, and evaporation. If skin temperature is greater than that of the surroundings, the body can lose heat by radiation and conduction. But, if the temperature of the surroundings is greater than that of the skin, the body actually gains heat by radiation and conduction. In such ...

  3. Stimulated emission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulated_emission

    Stimulated emission was a theoretical discovery by Albert Einstein within the framework of the old quantum theory, wherein the emission is described in terms of photons that are the quanta of the EM field. [5] [6] Stimulated emission can also occur in classical models, without reference to photons or quantum-mechanics.

  4. Thermal balance of the underwater diver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_balance_of_the...

    Surface heat loss may be reduced by insulation of the body surface. Heat is produced internally by metabolic processes and may be supplied from external sources by active heating of the body surface or the breathing gas. [2] Radiation heat loss is usually trivial due to small temperature differences, conduction and convection are the major ...

    There are four avenues of heat loss: evaporation, convection, conduction, and radiation. If skin temperature is greater than that of the surrounding air temperature, the body can lose heat by convection and conduction. However, if air temperature of the surroundings is greater than that of the skin, the body gains heat by convection and ...

  6. Thermoception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoception

    In physiology, thermoception or thermoreception is the sensation and perception of temperature, or more accurately, temperature differences inferred from heat flux.It deals with a series of events and processes required for an organism to receive a temperature stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal in order to trigger an appropriate defense response.

    The effectiveness of THC and CBD depends on the method you use to consume them, your body’s make up, and physiological processes. Bioavailability can be influenced by your body’s make up ...

  8. Cold and heat adaptations in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_and_heat_adaptations...

    Studies have shown that the warmth from the fires they build is enough to keep the body from fighting heat loss through shivering. [18] Inuit use well-insulated houses that are designed to transfer heat from an energy source to the living area, which means that the average indoor temperature for coastal Inuit is 10 to 20 °C (50 to 68 °F). [18]

    Walking in short bursts or climbing stairs can burn 20% to 60% more energy than sustained activity for the same distance, according to a new study.
