abstract = {In this paper, an improved 9-node mathematical model of thermal physiological response of infants 
is developed by integrating Gagge's two-node model and Stolwijk's multi-node model. Considering 
the individual difference of infant's body weight and size, the relationship between basic geometric 
parameters of infants and their thermal physiological parameters has been established in this model,
 so that the new naked infant model can be used for different size of infants, term infants and 
premature infants. To investigate the core and skin temperature distribution on infants, a set of 
numerical simulations have been carried out for naked, premature and term infants. By comparing 
the predictions of the model with the published data, this model was validated in the aspects of 
neutral thermal environment and skin temperature distribution. It was found that this model is 
satisfactory.},
