consistent with this non-uniform secretion characteristic. Taken collectively, these facts force<br />

one to conclude that it is no longer acceptable for modellers, sweating manikins<br />

manufacturers or clothing manufacturers to assume that the sweat rates for all local sites<br />

within any body segments are equivalent.<br />
