UNLABELLED Falling asleep while driving accounts for a considerable proportion of vehicle accidents under monotonous driving conditions. Many of these accidents are related to work--for example, drivers of lorries, goods vehicles, and company cars. Time of day (circadian) effects are profound, with sleepiness being particularly evident during night shift work, and driving home afterwards. Circa...

We investigate the coefficients generated by expressing the falling factorial (xy) as a linear combination of falling factorial products xy for l, m = 1, . . . , k. Algebraic and combinatoric properties are discussed, some in relation to Stirling numbers.

INTRODUCTION Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are one of the most important causes of death in patients under the age of 25 years and is responsible for one third of total deaths caused by trauma. Therefore, knowing its epidemiologic pattern in different populations seems vital. Therefore, this study aims to examine the epidemiologic pattern of TBI in emergency department. METHODS In this cross...

The occurrence of high impedance faults is an event that difficult to detect in distribution lines and may cause various hazards the population. With conductor falling ground, fault current does not sensibilize protection systems can several accidents. Frequently, this type confused with other line events, further delaying detection. present work aims insert simulated data events common network...

This paper investigates fatal accidents and fatalities at level crossings in Great Britain over the 64-year period 1946-2009. The numbers of fatal accidents and fatalities per year fell by about 65% in the first half of that period, but since then have remained more or less constant at about 11 fatal accidents and 12 fatalities per year. At the same time other types of railway fatalities have f...

The most common interference causing human gait instability is slippery ground [1]. Falling caused by the interference of slippery ground is one of the serious security problems in the occupational environment [2]. Yamaguchi et al. pointed out that falling was the main accident in the industrial apartment and up to 50% of the occupational harm [3]. Therefore, a large number of researches have b...

AIM This study aimed to determine the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of pediatric forensic cases to contribute to the literature and to preventive health care services. MATERIAL AND METHODS Pediatric forensic cases hospitalized in our pediatric intensive care unit below the age of 17 years were reviewed retrospectively (January 2009-June 2014) . The patients were evaluated in tw...

Head injury is one of the most important types of injury and is responsible for most of the deaths due to trauma. Low-income and middle-income countries face with more risk factors, but they still lack adequate health-care capacity to deal with complications. Trauma literally means the damage and injury, and head injury was defined as physical damage to the brain or skull caused by external for...
