A lzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of those conditions that, like cancer in earlier generations, inspires particular terror among the general public. Therapeutic advances have lagged behind insights into genetics and pathophysiology, and although -amyloid (A ), the product of amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleavage, remains the leading suspect among proposed pathogenic factors, its causal role i...

An Hybrid Experimental/numerical Method to Assess the Lethality of a Kinetic Energy Non-lethal Weapon System

Assessing the lethality of Kinetic Energy Non-lethal Weapons (KENLW) is very complicated because of the wide variety of projectiles currently in use, as well as the complexity that characterises the interaction between the projectile and the human body. This article describes and applies injury criteria found in the literature to perform a lethality assessment of a 40mm Nobel Sport sponge grena...
