Mechanisms of Lightning Injury Should Affect Lightning Safety Messages
The vast majority of newspaper reports of lightning injury portray direct strike as the predominant mechanism. However, direct strike actually causes only a small number of the injuries. This paper will review the mechanisms of injury as well as a likely distribution between the mechanisms of injury in an attempt to dispel the myth that the majority of injuries and deaths are caused by 'direct'...
متن کاملTemporary Safety Hazards
The Epistemic Objection says that certain theories of time (like the “growing block” and “moving spotlight”) imply that it is impossible to know which time is absolutely present. Standard presentations of the Epistemic Objection are elliptical—and some of the most natural premises one might fill in to complete the argument end up leading to radical skepticism. But there is a way of filling in t...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Urban Lightning Hazards for Atlanta, Georgia
Weather-related hazards are the result of interactions between the physical environment and the demographics of the community that experience them. Numerous studies have documented urban heat island (UHI) modification of cloud-to-ground lightning flash densities, but none have linked flashes to the underlying demographics. In this study, I compared flash and housing densities for 25 counties en...
متن کاملSafeguarding against heat hazards.
Heat stress occurs when the body cannot release heat and cool itself. When the air temperature is as warm as or warmer than a person's skin, blood brought to the skin's surface cannot efficiently release heat. Working hard in high heat impedes the body's ability to cool itself because the muscles need extra blood, thus decreasing the amount of blood available to circulate to the skin and intern...
متن کاملSpecifying Safety-Related Hazards Formally
We show how safety analysis can guide the formal development of controlling software of a safety-critical system. The system is specified in action system framework. The framework is based on a firm mathematical foundation within which the reasoning about the correctness and behavior of the system under development is carried out. We encode information about the identified hazards and their lev...
