چکیده
Climbing incidents present a myriad of challenges to prehospital teams. Management decisions are often influenced by factors including difficulties in accessing patients, limited available resources and safe egress from scenes. This case illustrates the importance of an adaptable and innovative approach to scene management and clinical decision making in such cases.

Climber: an incentive-based resilient peer-to-peer system for live streaming services
Due to the explosive popularity of peer-topeer (P2P) file-sharing services, there have been remarkable research efforts on the P2P live streaming services. P2P systems are cost-effective and can be easily deployed only by leveraging the participating peer’s resources (i.e., upload link bandwidth) to distribute contents. In this paper, we propose Climber, an incentive-based resilient P2P system ...

متن کاملSurvival following a vertical free fall from 300 feet: The crucial role of body position to impact surface
We report the case of a 28-year old rock climber who survived an "unsurvivable" injury consisting of a vertical free fall from 300 feet onto a solid rock surface. The trauma mechanism and injury kinetics are analyzed, with a particular focus on the relevance of body positioning to ground surface at the time of impact. The role of early patient transfer to a level 1 trauma center, and "damage co...
متن کاملInfluence of Time of Planting on Yield and Grain Quality of Bean Genotypes Grown on an Andosol in the Western Highlands of Cameroon
Determining the best combinations of variety choice and planting date may be crucial for farmers in view of optimising bean yields. A study was conducted to assess the agronomic performance of selected dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) lines when planted sequentially under rain fed conditions in the Western Highlands of Cameroon (WHC). Forty two introduced lines and three local checks were used,...
متن کاملWhen a genetic algorithm outperforms hill-climbing
A toy optimisation problem is introduced which consists of a ÿtness gradient broken up by a series of hurdles. The performance of a hill-climber and a stochastic hill-climber are computed. These are compared with the empirically observed performance of a genetic algorithm (GA) with and without. The hill-climber with a suuciently large neighbourhood outperforms the stochastic hill-climber, but i...
