Organization and implementation of mass medical rescue after an earthquake
On May 12, 2008, an 8.0-magnitude earthquake occurred in Wenchuan, Sichuan Province. In this disaster, 69,000 people were killed, 18,000 people were reported missing, and 37,000 people were injured, including more than 10,000 who were seriously injured. Trauma was the most commonly observed type of injury, with fractures accounting for 74% of all injury cases. On April 14, 2010, a 7.1-magnitude...
متن کاملThe Christchurch earthquake: ultrasound in a mass trauma event
Brief background Christchurch Public Hospital (CPH) and Christchurch Women’s Hospital (CWH) occupy the same physical site but are distinctively different buildings. They are sited close to the Avon River and Hagley Park and about a 10 minute walk to the central business district. CWH opened in 2005 as a “state-of-the-art” tertiary level women’s hospital that accommodates a tertiary level neonat...
متن کاملTerrain Models for Mass Movement Erosion
In this paper we present a particle-based method for large scale long time progressive simulation of terrain erosion containing wet granular particles. The wetting process and the propagation through granular material is based on defining the wetness value for each particle representing the amount of water absorbed by granular particles and stored between them, as was originally proposed by Run...
متن کاملTuned Mass Dampers for Earthquake Vibrations of High-rise Buildings using Bee Colony Optimization Technique
This paper investigates the application of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) method for the optimization of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) employed for high-rise structures including Soil Structure Interaction (SSI). The model is a 40-story building, and Newmark method is utilized for the structure response to Bam earthquake data. The objective is to decrease both maximum displacement and accelerati...
متن کامل7.24 Mass-Movement Style, Activity State, and Distribution
The collection and analysis of mass-movement data and the broader dissemination of results requires the adoption of standard methods for describing mass-movement style or type and activity state. Main mass-movement styles, such as falling, toppling, sliding, flowing, spreading, and creeping, are defined herein. Well-known substyles are explained and different activity states of mass movements a...
