A new weighting system for mean surface temperature of the human body
Abstract
On the basis of an analysis of the skin temperature data on three resting human subjects from 112 experiments, a simple weighting system for computing the mean skin temperature from observations on four areas of the body, namely, chest, arms, thighs, and legs, has been proposed. The proposed system of weighting yields mean skin temperature values identical with the elaborate Hardy-Dubois weighting formula. The value of the medial thigh temperature as an index of the mean skin temperature has also been investigated and discussed. skin temperature measurement Submitted on May 20, 1963

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
