Optimal investment facing possible accidents

This paper studies the optimal behavior of a firm over time that faces the probability of causing an environmental disaster by its activities. Here we can think of explosions in the chemical industry, oil tankers that lose oil, etc. In the static literature a distinction is made between small firms and large firms. Small firms are called undercapitalized in the sense that the share holders are ...

Rapid demountable platform (RDP)--a device for preventing fall from height accidents.

The prevention of fall from height accidents has long been a popular topic in the field of construction safety. Previous research has indicated one of the potential hazards was induced by the use of steel bracket as scaffold support. While researchers are focusing to improve the existing scaffolding system, this research introduces a newly developed device to minimize fall accidents. The workin...

Anatomical factors causing oedema of the lower limb during pregnancy.

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to investigate the morphology of the common iliac artery and vein (CIA&V) comparing right and left sides in females versus males. Pregnant women favour lying on one side at rest and during sleep. The reason for this may be due to the morphology and orientation between the CIA&V. Virtually all women during their pregnancy suffer from lower limb swelling...

Fundamental study on relationship between human injury probability due to fall and the fall height.

Many fatal accidents due to falling from height have happen at construction sites in Japan. The purpose of this study is about to seek new prevention methods of fatal accidents due to falling. For the first step, this study was carried out to find out "cause of death" in labor accidents by using past statistics data and was analyzed it. For the second, Butt dropping tests were carried out to me...
