Normobaric hyperoxia: haemodynamic responses to acute and long-term exposure
The aim of the present thesis was to examine the effect of acute and long-term normobaric hyperoxic exposure on selected haemodynamic and haematological responses during resting and exercise conditions in healthy aerobically well-trained males. This purpose was evaluated in four separate studies, and each of them had a specific aim …
Assessment of behavioural thermoregulation in humans: with particular reference to mild narcosis and prolonged bed rest
Behavioural responses are the most efficient thermoregulatory responses, since relatively simple actions can prevent the need to activate the more metabolically costly autonomic responses. Dependence on behavioural responses may increase in environmental conditions where the prevailing nonthermal factors (NTF) attenuate autonomic responses and alter thermal perception (Mekjavic et al., 2003; …
Impact Analysis for Integrated Assessments of Climate-Energy Models
It is evident that the worldwide average temperature is rising and climate is changing (WMO, 2003) and it is believed that there is sufficient evidence that this is due to human activities (IPCC 2001). Human activities are primarily responsible for the release of carbon dioxide and other global warming pollutants …
