The few-fibre data included in the study displayed in order of their relative sensitivity of skin to core (rectal)temperature (K ratio). Corresponding threshold values to skin (Skin Th) or core (Core Th)cooling are also presented, as are the median values of the columns along the bottom row. Experiment numbers correspond with those in Table 2.
