Tarzan swings: a dangerous new epidemic.
نویسنده
چکیده
Accidental injury in school children was thought to be unpreventable. This series presents the results of 24 consecutive patients with 29 fractures as a result of a fall from a 'Tarzan' rope swing. Twenty-six of the fractures involved the upper limb, 11 patients required hospitalization with operative intervention and 13 required outpatient care only. These types of injury are preventable. The morbidity and pain that these young patients suffer can be avoided.

A Peer-to-Peer Anonymizing Network Layer
Existing Internet systems implement anonymity at the application layer or through centralized components. A robust, decentralized infrastructure that anonymizes any Internet traffic could benefit a wide array of existing protocols and systems. This anonymous network layer could seamlessly replace the current communications channel, and it could continue to offer anonymity and availability even ...
متن کاملPath Planning for Altruistically Negotiating Systems: The Near-Sighted Tarzan Algorithm
This paper introduces a variant of the Rapidlyexploring Random Leafy Tree, called the Near-sighted Tarzan Algorithm, that performs path planning (for message routing) in a discrete graph simulating the communication network of an Altruistically Negotiating System. The Near-sighted Tarzan Algorithm is designed to operate in environments with similar characterstics as an ad hoc network. These cha...
متن کاملIntroducing Tarzan, a Peer-to-Peer Anonymizing Network Layer
We introduce Tarzan, a peer-to-peer anonymous network layer that provides generic IP forwarding. Unlike prior anonymizing layers, Tarzan is flexible, transparent, decentralized, and highly scalable. Tarzan achieves these properties by building anonymous IP tunnels between an open-ended set of peers. Tarzan can provide anonymity to existing applications, such as web browsing and file sharing, wi...
متن کاملAn MDA Approach to Testing the Tarzan Model Transformation Engine Model-Based Test Driven Development of the Tarzan Model-Transformation Engine
Tarzan is an implementation of a ruleand pattern-based engine for the transformation of models defined using the Object Management Group’s (OMG) Model-Driven Architecture (MDA). The process for the development of the engine included the concurrent development of a unit test suite for the engine. The test suite is constructed as a number of models, whose elements comprise the test cases, and whi...
متن کاملTarzan: Communicating and Moving in Wireless Jungles
Wireless networks allow portable/mobile devices (and the related applications) to communicate each other with radio or infrared signals. Computations on those networks are very sensible to many physical variables (e.g., energy consumption, distance, geographic topology, etc.). We propose Tarzan, a framework based on graph rewriting that easily allow one to express many quantitative aspects of w...
