Background Data: Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) by either gunshot missiles or shrapnel from barrel bomb explosions are common during war.

This study tested the role of audio soundtrack in opening scene Orson Welles’s Touch Evil (Orson Welles and Albert Zugsmith, 1958) supporting a predictive inference that time bomb will explode, as filmmakers intended. We designed two experiments interpreted their results using Scene Perception Event Comprehension Theory (SPECT). Across both experiments, viewers watched scene, we manipulated kno...

The classical methods for determining the calorie value of foodstuffs are both long and tedious, and a number of alternative methods have been suggested for assessing the energy value of foods based on an analysis of the foodstuff and the use of factors with each of the chemical components to give energy content. None of these methods is really satisfactory, and when a high level of accuracy is...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014204305 DESCRIPTION A young Afghani man detained in an immigration centre 1500 miles from tertiary eye care presented to an outreach ophthalmology clinic in a remote part of Australia with a history of long-standing visual loss. He reported being blinded in a suicide bomb...

We prove that the moduli of U-convexity, introduced by Gao (1995), of the ultrapower X̃ of a Banach space X and of X itself coincide whenever X is super-reflexive. As a consequence, some known results have been proved and improved. More precisely, we prove that uX(1) > 0 implies that both X and the dual space X∗ of X have uniform normal structure and hence the “worth” property in Corollary 7 of ...

Generic extensions of the standard model predict the existence of ultralight bosonic degrees of freedom. Several ongoing experiments are aimed at detecting these particles or constraining their mass range. Here we show that massive vector fields around rotating black holes can give rise to a strong superradiant instability, which extracts angular momentum from the hole. The observation of super...

In recent years, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has installed radiation sensors to screen cargo containers entering the United States. They are concerned that terrorists could use containers to smuggle radiological material into the country and carry out attacks with dirty bombs or a nuclear device. Recent studies have questioned the value of improving this screening system with new sensor...

Problem 2. [15 points] In ”Die Hard: The Afterlife”, the ghosts of Bruce and Sam have been sent by the evil Simon on another mission to save midtown Manhattan. They have been told that there is a bomb on a street corner that lies in Midtown Manhattan, which Simon defines as extending from 41st Street to 59th Street and from 3rd Avenue to 9th Avenue. Additionally, the code that they need to defu...

The Japanese word for atomic bomb is “genbaku” while that for nuclear power plant is “genpatsu”. The two words only differ by one character, but both refer to the same radioactive substances uranium and plutonium and both have the potential to bring about catastrophe for innocent people (1). Terrorists could make atomic bombs, or genbaku, by stealing uranium and plutonium from nuclear plants, o...
