This book was released on 1969 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The symposium was concerned with (a) the effects of climatic extremes upon the human subject and his performance, (b) mechanisms of acclimatization, and (c) providing the information required for the development of means for protection with minimal decrement of performance. This symposium was therefore organized to present extant knowledge of the biomedical problems engendered by the hypoxia of high terrestrail altitudes. Central to the purpose was the thought that by means of such presentation and discussion, not only would the present 'state of the art' be summarized, but also that the gaps in present knowledge would appear in bolder relief, thus revealing the most promising and profitable directions for future research.

Download or read book Nutritional Needs in Cold and High Altitude Environments written by Committee on Military Nutrition Research and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-05-29 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the research pertaining to nutrient requirements for working in cold or in high-altitude environments and states recommendations regarding the application of this information to military operational rations. It addresses whether, aside from increased energy demands, cold or high-altitude environments elicit an increased demand or requirement for specific nutrients, and whether performance in cold or high-altitude environments can be enhanced by the provision of increased amounts of specific nutrients.
Download or read book Resource Utilization and Development written by Shri Kamal Sharma and published by Northern Book Centre. This book was released on 1992 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between resources and development is the pivot around which the present study revolves. Focussing on the process of resource creation and utilization it emphasizes the need of equitable development integrating local needs, resources, people and functions. The resource exploitation and their utilization are two independent economic activities influenced by different algorithms and usually have manifested in core-periphery relationship. Reviews the persistent problems of economic development in perspective of exploitation of natural resources with the objective to provide some clues for occurrence and persistence of regional disparities and for suggesting a development model synchronising both the resource management and environmental protection.

Download or read book Environmental Stress written by Lawrence Folinsbee and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental Stress: Individual Human Adaptations is the result of a symposium where scientists addressed questions about individual variability in response to different environments. The symposium aimed to create more interest in the roles of age, gender, genetic heritage, and other individual differences in response to various environmental stressors. The book is divided into five sections, each dealing with one aspect of environmental stress. These are: heat stress, air pollution, work physiology (exercise), cold stress, and altitude. Circulatory adaptations to heat and exercise are discussed in the heat section while studies of sleeping patterns associated with high altitude hypoxia are tackled in the section of altitude. In the section of air pollution, the different effects of pollutants such as carbon monoxide and sulfuric acid are tackled. This text will be very useful to students and scientists in many fields such as medicine, physiological sciences, biophysics, and environmental health.

Download or read book Arctic and Alpine Environments written by Jack D. Ives and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 1202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1974, Arctic and Alpine Environments examines, the relatively simple ecosystems of arctic and alpine lands that still occupy extensive areas little disturbed by modern technology. The book argues that there is a necessity for carefully controlled development of the resources of these regions and suggests that there is a risk of irreversible disturbance without full understanding of these regions. This book provides a detailed documentation of cold-stressed arctic and alpine terrestrial environments and systematically deals with the present and past physical environment – climate, hydrology and glaciology; biota – treeline, vegetation, vertebrate zoology, and historical biogeography; abiotic processes – geomorphological and pedological and the role of man – bioclimatology, archaeology and technological impact, including radioecology. The book will appeal to academics and students of environmental and biological science, as well as providing a significant source for conservationists’, government agencies and industrial organizations.
