BACKGROUND The major objective of the present study was to determine the severity of nonfatal injuries sustained by children (<16 years old) when a motor vehicle rolls over them. We also sought to determine whether younger children (<24 months old) demonstrated different patterns of injury and/or a worse outcome, compared with older children (>24 months old). METHODS We reviewed the medical r...

Head, face and neck (HFN) injuries associated with upper interior contacts account for a large percentage of all serious to fatal injuries annually. In the past, many of these injuries were the result of unrestrained occupants in rollovers and side impacts. Mandatory belt use laws have helped keep the head and torso inside the vehicle, but HFN injuries in side and rollover accidents persist. Re...

NEW IRA DATABASE: The Employee Benefit Research Institute created the EBRI IRA Database in order to more closely examine retirement savings behavior. The EBRI IRA Database is able to link individuals within and across the data providers and will also be able to link the data with participants in 401(k) plans, allowing retirement funds to be tracked as they are generated, rolled over, and ultima...

We study early universe with a particular form of F(T) Telleparallel gravity theory, in which inflation is driven by scalar field. To ensure slow rollover, two different potentials are chosen manner, such that they remain almost flat for large initial value the Inflationary parameters show wonderful fit presently available Planck's data set. The energy scale sub-Planckian and graceful exit from...

Stability is an important concern for vehicles which move heavy loads, accelerate or brake aggressively, turn at speed, or operate on sloped terrain. In many cases, vehicles face more than one of these challenges simultaneously. Some are obliged to execute these maneuvers when their high centers of gravity leave them particularly vulnerable to tipover or rollover. A methodology is presented to ...

Earlier studies by the authors have proposed separating rollover crashes according to belt use, ejection status, and single vs. multiple harmful events. These different classifications were associated with differences that could substantially alter the risk of serious injury. For each classification, metrics to characterize rollover severity were presented. For most single vehicle crashes, the ...

In a scalar field theory, when the tree level potential admits broken symmetry ground states, the quantum corrections to the static effective potential are complex. (The imaginary part is a consequence of an instability towards phase separation and the static effective potential is not a relevant quantity for understanding the dynamics). Instead, we study here the equations of motion obtained f...

Rollover incidents while driving their military vehicles has resulted in,soldiers incurring injuries or even losing their lives. A recent report identified that one cause of vehicle rollovers is the driver's inability to assess rollover threat, such as a cliff, soft ground, water, or culvert on the passenger side of the vehicle. The vehicle's width hinders the driver's field of view. To reduce ...
