Side air bags, a relatively new technology designed to protect the head and/or torso in side-impact collisions, are becoming increasingly common in automobiles. Their efficacy in preventing US driver deaths among cars struck on the near (driver's) side was examined using data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System and the General Estimates System. Risk ratios for driver death per nearside ...

BACKGROUND Although self-inflating bags are widely used for manual hyperinflation, they do not allow ventilation parameters, such as pressure or volume, to be set. We studied the ventilation performance of neonatal and pediatric self-inflating bags. METHODS We asked 22 physiotherapists to manually hyperinflate 2 lung models (neonatal and pediatric), using self-inflating bags from 3 manufactur...

Radon detectors are widely used for research and for monitoring indoor and outdoorradon. During some applications, detectors need to be enclosed in barrier bags which arecompletely transparent to radon. In other applications, radon detectors need to beenclosed in barrier bags that are opaque to radon. In certain applications, barrier bagsmay provide resistance to human manipulat...

plastics, one of the most abundant materials in the world today, are one of the main sources of pollution. people’s perception of using and disposing plastic bags is primordial as they tend to be a major part of household solid waste. this study aims to determine community’s perception of usage and disposal of plastic bags in eastern ethiopia. a quantitative cross-sectional study has been condu...

People’s perception of using and disposing plastic bags is primordial as they tend to be a major part of household solid waste.

In this paper, we formulate a new multi-graph learning task with only positive and unlabeled bags, where labels are only available for bags but not for individual graphs inside the bag. This problem setting raises significant challenges because bag-of-graph setting does not have features to directly represent graph data, and no negative bags exits for deriving discriminative classification mode...

Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the effects of indigestible neutral detergent fiber (iNDF) of ration for estimation of rumen degradability of fiber in sheep. In experiment 1, to determine feed iNDF, four ruminal fistulated Zel ewes were used. Three grams of alfalfa hay, corn silage, barley grain, wheat bran, ration 1 (including alfalfa hay and concentrate), and ration 2 (including ...
