The objective of this study is to understand the occupant kinematics and injury risks in a light tactical vehicle under frontal crash conditions using a combination of physical tests and computer simulations. A total of 20 sled tests were conducted in a representative environment to understand occupant kinematics, and quantify the effects from occupant body size (5/50/95), military gear (helmet...

We examine the ways in which racial differences in health vary over the income-wealth distribution, comparing the self-reported health status of non-Hispanic whites with those of individuals of other races and ethnicities. Paradoxically, we find that although the largest unadjusted racial differences in health are between poor whites and poor nonwhites, after adjusting for income, wealth, and o...

Among the many achievements of the twentieth century the accelerating development of microprocessors and their capabilities is one of the most impressive accomplishments, influencing virtually every aspect of daily life. The impact of this new technological resource was (and still is) of particular importance for theoretical approaches in science and engineering. Although many theories (Schrödi...

Luther Burbank (1849–1926), the best-known horticulturist in the United States, was honored in 1940 by having a U.S. postage stamp in his honor—as a scientist! Burbank became a legend in his time as the plant inventor and horticultural wizard releasing a prodigious 800 new cultivars, a number of which are still being grown, the most famous being the ‘Burbank’ potato, the ‘Santa Rosa’ plum, and ...

Water-filled nanometer-scale porous structures have gained considerable attention over the past decade due to their enormous promise in substantially improving the performance and efficiency of many applications such as biological/chemical systems,1-3 water purification systems,4 fuel cell devices,5 etc. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), due to their extraordinary physical and chemical p...

have been pursued both within the USA and other countries. The end result of all this activity is a large holding Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) is an important cash crop in the U.S. of hop accessions with little descriptive information Pacific Northwest. Classifying groups of hop accessions presently held in the USDA-ARS world collection is vital toward categorizing newly about their relationships. ...

To prevent infestation of highbush blueberries by fruitworms, growers employ pheromone-baited traps to monitor adult moths and apply insecticides to fields at risk from infestation by the larvae of these pests. However, there are increasing restrictions on availability of broad-spectrum insecticides and monitoring traps have not been used to predict optimal timing of controls for these species ...

Alfalfa stems were shredded using a rotary macerator, were ammoniated, or were left untreated (control). Shredding increased extent of NDF digestion over ammoniat ion and control at all times from 12 to 72 h of in vitro incubation. Shredding also increased rate of disappearance of potential ly digestible NDF (.032 h 1 for control, .045 h 1 for ammoniated, and .089 h -1 for shredded). Ammoniat i...
