متن کاملFatal falls from a height: the use of mathematical models to estimate the height of fall from the injuries sustained.
The authors undertook a review of fatal falls from a height, that occurred in 1991-92 in Singapore, with the objective of constructing mathematical models relating the height of fall to the injuries sustained. The 603 cases studied showed a mean age of 41.4 years with a male to female ratio of approximately 2:1. A sub-sample of 416 (69%) of these subjects had fallen from known heights (mean, 26...
متن کاملMore Algebras for Determiners
Some new algebras, which are possible denotations for various determiners, are studied. One of them is the algebra of generalised cardinal quantifiers which is a sub-algebra of conservative quantifiers and which contains cardinal, co-cardinal and proportional quantifiers. In addition some non-conservative quantifiers are studied (symmetric, contrapositional and fixed points with respect to the ...
