日本人青年の体表面積算出式について(B. 生活科学)

The purpose of this paper is to investigate body surface area of japanese. 45 Japanese young adult subjects were measured. The body surface was divided into the anatomical regions. Measurements were conducted covering the body with small pieces of inelastic tape. It was found the following. 1) Signiticant difference was observed between partial rate of body surface area in relation to sex. There was a significant difference in relation to body forms. 2) Partial rates of body surface area were significant difference from the other measured studies by DuBois. Takahira and Fujimoto・Watanabe. 3) Single component calculation formula of body surface area, Height or Weight, gave higher error by height-weight formula. 4) The surface area calculated by S=100.315W^ H^ was very closer fit to the measured surface area. This formula was widely applicable to sex and body form. Modified DuBois height-weight formula was S=72.18W^ H^

Thermal environment mitigation effects in suburban area

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the relationship between the physiological and psychological responses of the human body and the outdoor environment evaluation index ETFe (enhanced conductioncorrected modified effective temperature). The experiments were carried out in summer. For the measurements, observation points were selected with consideration for the condition of the ground surface such as bare ground where the surface is gravel or soil; paved ground such as concrete, asphalt or blocks; green areas covered in plants and water surfaces and with consideration for the condition of the sky factor due to buildings or trees. 19 observation points were chosen. Subjects were 38 healthy young. ETFe that was considered to report neither hot nor cold, thermally neutral sensation, was 30.6°C. ETFe that was considered to report neither comfortable nor uncomfortable comfort was 35.5°C. It was considered that the threshold for the human body with regards to thermal environment stimuli in an outdoor space is higher than the thermal environment stimuli in a summer indoor space

Effect of the Environmental Stimuli upon the Human Body in Winter Outdoor Thermal Environment

In order to manage the outdoor thermal environment with regard to human health and the environmental impact of waste heat, quantitative evaluations are indispensable. It is necessary to use a thermal environment evaluation index. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the relationship between the psychological thermal responses of the human body and winter outdoor thermal environment variables. Subjective experiments were conducted in the winter outdoor environment. Environmental factors and human psychological responses were measured. The relationship between the psychological thermal responses of the human body and the outdoor thermal environment index ETFe (enhanced conduction-corrected modified effective temperature) in winter was shown. The variables which influence the thermal sensation vote of the human body are air temperature, long-wave thermal radiation and short-wave solar radiation. The variables that influence the thermal comfort vote of the human body are air temperature, humidity, short-wave solar radiation, long-wave thermal radiation, and heat conduction. Short-wave solar radiation, and heat conduction are among the winter outdoor thermal environment variables that affect psychological responses to heat. The use of thermal environment evaluation indices that comprise short-wave solar radiation and heat conduction in winter outdoor spaces is a valid approach
