In-Flight Emergency

Airborne collapse: an in-flight emergency.

The passenger, a 65-year-old woman who had previously been well, had called for help because she had indigestion and nausea. She had then became unrousable and had been sweating profusely for 5 minutes. By the time of our assessment she was semi-conscious and clammy. She denied any chest pain, but felt unwell and light-headed. Her pulse was regular and barely palpable, with a rate of 68 beats p...

In-flight medical emergency: an experience with Singapore Airlines.

Fight or flight: the ethics of emergency physician disaster response.

Most disaster plans depend on using emergency physicians, nurses, emergency department support staff, and out-of-hospital personnel to maintain the health care system's front line during crises that involve personal risk to themselves or their families. Planners automatically assume that emergency health care workers will respond. However, we need to ask: Should they, and will they, work rather...

Capital Flight and Economic Growth in Iran

Beginning in the mid-1980s, the phenomenon of capital flight from developing countries received considerable attention in the economics literature. Capital flight destroys the domestic macroeconomic environment and decreases transparency and accountability. It restricts financial resources when a country is looking for economic growth and development. The purpose of this article is to measure t...

Helicopter Rotor Airloads Prediction Using CFD and Flight Test Measurement in Hover Flight

An implicit unsteady upwind solver including a mesh motion approach was applied to simulate a helicopter including body, main rotor and tail rotor in hover flight. The discretization was based on a second order finite volume approach with fluxes given by the Roeand#39;s scheme. Discretization of Geometric Conservation Laws (GCL) was devised in such a way that the three-dimensional flows on arbi...
