1. CLIMATE CHANGE AND RURAL WORKERS THERMAL COMFORT: HISTORICAL AND FUTURE IMPACTS
Abstract The aim of the present research was to propose a bioclimatic mapping to classify the thermal comfort and discomfort of rural workers within the state of Minas Gerais, considering historical and future scenarios. Monthly historical series (1976-2014) of minimum, mean and maximum temperature-humidity index (THI), determined through the values of air t

2. SIMILITUDE AND THERMAL PERFORMANCE ON NON-CONVENTIONAL ROOFS
ABSTRACT The objectives of this study were to evaluate the thermal comfort and the similitude between prototypes and reduced models, using non-conventional coverage with green roof and expanded clay aggregate, supported on wood frame structure. For this, were determined the Black Globe Temperature and Humidity Index (BGHI), the Human Discomfort Index (HDI),

3. Measurement and evaluation of human exposure to vibration transmitted to hand-arm system during leisure cyclist activity
INTRODUCTION: The cycling activity has increased in recent years, either as a means of leisure or physical activity or as means of transport. Discomfort is one of the main complaints for cyclists, especially when related to the type o pavement they use while riding. This work presents a study of measurement and evaluation of human exposure to hand-arm vibrat

4. Modelagem do comportamento estrutural estático e dinâmico de lajes nervuradas de concreto armado. / Modeling the static and dinamic structural behavior of reinforced concret slabs.
Several researchers have studied the use of reinforced concrete ribbed slabs in civil engineering structural systems that can be viable when the technical and economical point of view is considered. For this reason, a lot of papers were published in the last years based on the experimental and numerical analysis of this slab type. In this context, several sl

5. Human thermal comfort: an irreversibility-based approach emulating empirical clothed-body correlations and the conceptual energy balance equation
Exergetic analysis can provide useful information as it enables the identification of irreversible phenomena bringing about entropy generation and, therefore, exergy losses (also referred to as irreversibilities). As far as human thermal comfort is concerned, irreversibilities can be evaluated based on parameters related to both the occupant and his surround

6. Some aspects of chicken behavior and welfare
Brazil is the world leader in broiler production and export. It achieved this position mainly to its excellent supply chain structure and climate, which favor poultry and grain production throughout its territory. Although Brazilian egg production is not as important as broiler production, this segment presents great potential of increasing its share in the

8. Proposta de um método aberto de projeto de produto - três alternativas de criação. / Proposal for an open method of product design - three alternatives of creation.
Studies in the field of personalized thermal comfort demonstrate the necessity of developing an air distribution system that allows the user to control individually the thermal conditions in their work station. In this context, such an equipment is designed for guiding this study and this process has identified the need of devising a method of product develo

9. Percepção da iluminação no espaço da arquitetura : preferências humanas em ambientes de trabalho / Perception of lighting in architectural space : preferences in work environments.
As preferências humanas de iluminação nos ambientes internos estão relacionadas inicialmente à satisfação de conforto luminoso a partir de exigências não somente visuais, mas fisiológicas de saúde, conforme os objetivos do projeto e atividades. Este trabalho aborda a percepção da iluminação natural e artificial complementar diurna, em ambiente

10. Áreas verdes hospitalares - percepção e conforto / Hospital Green areas Perception and Comfort
Nas primeiras décadas do século XX, profissionais da área da saúde investiram em ambientes funcionais de trabalho, dando ênfase à implantação de equipamentos de alta tecnologia, sem se preocuparem com o grau de conforto proporcionado pelo ambiente físico. Trabalhos científicos nesta área classificaram esses espaços como estressantes e inadequados

12. Total comfort as a referential to the process of architectural project / O conforto pleno como referencial no processo de projeto arquitetonico
Never forsaking Art as the essence of Architecture, comfort in constructed environments is analyzed as the main implicit and explicit goal of any architectural project. Comfort is the explicit intention of architects in the visual-plastic aspects of their projects to the extent its impact on users behaviours is greater than other lesser architectural aspects
