...Çağlar Gök; İsmail Devecioğlu; Burak Güçlü The mechanical impedance of intact and epidermis-peeled rat glabrous skin was studied at two sites (digit and sole) and at two frequencies (40 Hz and 250 Hz). The thicknesses of skin layers at the corresponding regions were measured histologically from...

... of data presentation. Use of the code with the GUI is described and demonstrated. New physiological elements were added to the model to represent the hands and feet, including the unique vascular structures adapted for heat transfer associated with glabrous skin. The heat transfer function and efficacy...

... vascular structures that facilitate heat loss. We have previously reported that cooling the glabrous skin surfaces is effective in alleviating heat stress and that the application of local subatmospheric pressure enhances the effect. In this paper, we compare the effects of cooling multiple glabrous skin...
