  2. Convection (heat transfer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection_(Heat_transfer)

    Convection-cooling is sometimes loosely assumed to be described by Newton's law of cooling. [6] Newton's law states that the rate of heat loss of a body is proportional to the difference in temperatures between the body and its surroundings while under the effects of a breeze. The constant of proportionality is the heat transfer coefficient. [7]

  3. Social anxiety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_anxiety

    Trait social anxiety, the stable tendency to experience this anxiety, can be distinguished from state anxiety, the momentary response to a particular social stimulus. [2] Half of the individuals with any social fears meet the criteria for social anxiety disorder. [3] Age, culture, and gender impact the severity of this disorder. [4]

  4. Shivering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shivering

    In shivering, the heat is the main intended product and is utilized for warmth. [citation needed] Newborn babies, infants, and young children experience a greater (net) heat loss than adults because of greater surface-area-to-volume ratio. As they cannot shiver to maintain body heat, [citation needed] they rely on non-shivering thermogenesis.

  5. Social anxiety disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_anxiety_disorder

    In March 2022, JAMA Psychiatry published a systematic review and meta-analysis of 87 studies with 159,425 subjects 12 years of age or younger that found a small but statistically significant correlation between screen time and anxiety in children, [40] while Adolescent Psychiatry published a systematic review of research published from June ...

  6. Newton's law of cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_cooling

    The statement of Newton's law used in the heat transfer literature puts into mathematics the idea that the rate of heat loss of a body is proportional to the difference in temperatures between the body and its surroundings. For a temperature-independent heat transfer coefficient, the statement is:

  7. Pathological demand avoidance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathological_demand_avoidance

    The shorter version, which has less bias in terms of gender and academic skills, retains questions from the original version such as whether the child will use "outrageous or shocking behavior" to avoid a demand, whether the child's mood changes rapidly, and whether the child is unaware or indifferent to social hierarchies and the role of ...

  8. Social Interaction Anxiety Scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Interaction_Anxiety...

    Though related, social interaction anxiety is different from social phobia which is defined as anxiety surrounding fear of being scrutinized in a social situation. [4] The scale contains 15 items. [5] [2] [6] The client rates how much each item relates to them on a 5-point scale as follows: [2] 0 points: Not at all characteristic of me

  9. Human thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_thermoregulation

    Simplified control circuit of human thermoregulation. [8]The core temperature of a human is regulated and stabilized primarily by the hypothalamus, a region of the brain linking the endocrine system to the nervous system, [9] and more specifically by the anterior hypothalamic nucleus and the adjacent preoptic area regions of the hypothalamus.
