When I work at military facilities in the US, they use wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) which adds the heating effect of direct sunlight.

We use it to prevent heat stroke. DoD has a system of colored flags that index to the WBGT. Red and black flags indicate that folks working outside need to take breaks at some increased frequency.

WBGT

Muometric navigation system - GPS alternative that penetrates underground, indoors, and underwater (nature.com) en

While satellite-based global navigation systems have become essential tools in our daily lives, their effectiveness is often hampered by the fact that the signals cannot be accessed in underground, indoor, or underwater environments. Recently, a novel navigation system has been invented to address this issue by utilizing the...

Muonic nav should work better than the moronic nav systems I've built in the past.

The digital Through-The-Earth (TTE) communication system can be used to provide communications links from the surface to below-ground locations. The system can be used to provide real-time monitoring of equipment sensors. The TTE communication uses very low frequency (VLF) transmission (transmission is usually done with magnetic induction, at frequencies below 30 kHz) to provide reliable data links through environments surrounded by rock, but this system in turn severely limits the bandwidth available for information transmission with data rates ranging from 9 bps to 1 kpbs43. However, since both reference and receiver detectors have their own clock, the information that would have to be transferred to the counterpart detector to be effective is just n and t. Therefore, this data rate is sufficient for MuWNS communication requirements.

It's there a link?

The title isn't clickable for me.

The Myth of Man the Hunter: Women’s contribution to the hunt across ethnographic contexts (journals.plos.org) en

The sexual division of labor among human foraging populations has typically been recognized as involving males as hunters and females as gatherers. Recent archeological research has questioned this paradigm with evidence that females hunted (and went to war) throughout the Homo sapiens lineage, though many of these authors...

Yes, when I think about it that way it makes the whole "men hunted, women gathered" concept seem really silly.

I think this is the Nature Communications article cited in the OP link:

I don't want to require anything. Just makes things harder for posters and mods who have another rule to enforce.

If the link to the journal or whatever they original cite is is useful, folks will upvote the comment.
