This article presents a systematic review of advances in exoskeletons used for various tasks performed by military personnel. In addition, a systematic review of scientific literature obtained from multidisciplinary bases and the field of occupational health has been carried out. Various technologies and exoskeleton designs assist in specific areas of the body where exertion can cause musculoskeletal disorders. Exoskeletons provide additional torque to multiple joints decreasing physical fatigue and increasing performance in physically demanding tasks. Most exoskeletons used in the military employ electric actuators and have been developed for the hip and knee region.","PeriodicalId":44194,"journal":{"name":"Athenea Digital","volume":"139 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79925936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New equations were found to calculate the thermal resistance of the contacts Rcold and Rhot, the thermal conductance K0, and the figure of merit ZT. Furthermore, it permits determining characteristic time constants τ0, τ1, τ2, and relaxation times and calculating the thermoelectric capacitances related to the device, material, and thermal contacts. Also, the characteristic angular frequencies are predicted ω0, ω1and, ω2. The described theory satisfies Newton’s law of cooling, Luttinger’s thermal transport coefficients theory, and the first and second-order electric circuit’s behavior. Additionally, it makes available the prediction of the transport coefficients and the characterization in situ. Like Harman’s method, these parameters can be measured simultaneously on the same device or sample.","PeriodicalId":44194,"journal":{"name":"Athenea Digital","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77638165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A systematic study was carried out, taking into account the basics of scientific articles from journals related to environmental studies, looking for and identifying the negative impacts of renewable and clean energy production.
