Mathematical Models Relating to Human Thermoregulation: Basic Assumptions, Validation, and Application. Parts A & B

Abstract

A workshop was held at The University of Texas at Austin in December 1982. The workshop evaluated available mathematical models which could be used to simulate human thermal behavior under various conditions. The program involved the following four activities; (1) obtain copies of the mathematical models, install them on computers located at the University of Texas, and verify that they were operating correctly, (2) collect sets of data suitable for testing mathematical models and enter them into a machine readable data base, (3) use the models to simulate the conditions represented by the experimental data, (4) discuss the simulated results with the authors of the models and a group of outstanding thermal physiologists who offer constructive criticism and suggestions for improving the models.
