چکیده
Figure 1. Two views of the right hand (A and C) and the left hand (B and D) following a high-voltage electrical injury. DESCRIPTION A 31-year-old left-hand-dominant male was brought to the emergency department after contacting a high-voltage (7600 V) power line with a fiberglass extension pole. Physical examination revealed third-degree burns to the bilateral hands (Fig 1).

Application of Bayesian decision making tool in detecting oil-water contact in a carbonate reservoir
Detection of Oil-Water Contacts (OWCs) is one of the primary tasks before evaluation of reservoir’s hydrocarbon in place, determining net pay zones and suitable depths for perforation operation. This paper introduces Bayesian decision making tool as an effective technique in OWC detecting using wire line logs. To compare strengths of the suggested method in detecting OWC with conventional one, ...

متن کاملComputer simulations help determine safe vertical boom speeds for roof bolting in underground coal mines.
PROBLEM Incident investigation reports do not usually contain enough information to aid in studying boom arm vertical speed for roof bolting machines to determine the impact that appendage speed had on an operator's risk of experiencing a contact. Laboratory experiments with human subjects are also not feasible because of safety and ethical issues. METHOD Researchers successfully developed a ...
متن کاملA sense-making approach to understanding adolescents' selection of health information sources.
The authors propose that information sources are best understood as constructed by individuals in an attempt to find answers to questions of immediate relevance. Contact profiles, or patterns of source use for particular information, determine what constitutes a source for an individual. The study explores how adolescents acquire and use health information. Data analyses based on a probability ...
متن کاملJennifer J . Argo Physical Contact and Financial Risk Taking
We show that minimal physical contact can increase people’s sense of security and consequently lead them to increased risktaking behavior. In three experiments, with both hypothetical and real payoffs, a female experimenter’s light, comforting pat on the shoulder led participants to greater financial risk taking. Further, this effect was both mediated and moderated by feelings of security in bo...
